Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important — sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke. Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life. 4. In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A. 1952. B. 1962. C. 1972. D. 1982. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The heat. B. The theater. C. The Music Man. D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. 6. Why did the author and his brother see the same movies several times? A. The two movies were really wonderful. B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside. C. The manager of the theater was friendly. D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater. 7. Which of the following is True according to the last paragraph? A. The author turned out to be a great singer. B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962. C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies. D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和哥哥为了应对1962年的热浪，在电影院享受空调同时欣赏电影的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years.(那是1962年，在接下来的十年里，我都不会住在有空调的地方)”可知，作者在1972年才开始住在有空调的地方。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.(然后，我们坐下来看了《欢乐音乐妙无穷》，接着看了《双虎屠龙》。我们之前已经看过第二部了。它从今年1月就在影院上映了，因为贝娄喜欢任何有约翰·韦恩参演的电影)”可知，it在此句中指代前文提到的第二部电影——《双虎屠龙》。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat.(那天，我和哥哥坐着看了两场电影，想要躲避一下炎热)”及第四段“But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.(但第二天我们又去看了同样的两部电影，又看了两遍。第二天我们也这么做了。最后，在第四天，热浪消退了)”可知，作者和哥哥看了几次相同的电影是为了避开外面的高温。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.(然而，直到今天，我还能唱《欢乐音乐妙无穷》中一半的歌曲，背诵一半的《双虎屠龙》中约翰·韦恩的对话！这些是我对1962年热浪仅有的记忆。它们实际上是对屏幕的记忆，而不是对我生活的记忆)”可推知，作者认为在剧院的经历影响自己到现在，令人难忘。故选D。 C Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written. Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions (碑文), to document different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic (陶瓷) and metal. The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made. The new AI-based method serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate (估算) the true origins of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. The team said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. The researchers reported that in experiments with damaged writings, Ithaca was able to correctly predict missing inscription elements 62 percent of the time. In addition, the tool was 71 percent correct in identifying where the inscriptions first came from. And, the system was able to effectively date writings to within 30 years. When historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. The team is currently working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. 8. Which can replace the underlined word “renovate” in paragraph 1？ A. Adopt. B. Recover. C. Collect. D. Translate. 9. Which reason for the ancient inscriptions' being hard to recognize is mentioned? A. The wars in the past. B. The development of industry. C. The objects' being damaged. D. The extinction of language. 10. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Ithaca currently recognizes only English. B. Ithaca has great market development potential. C. Ithaca can completely replace historians in the future. D. Ithaca cannot bring any profit to its development company. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Shortcut to Ancient Inscriptions B. Who Will Be the Historians' Right-Hand Man? C. The Mysterious Contents of Ancient Languages D. AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员开发的一款人工智能系统，它可以帮助历史学家修复作品和找出它们的写作时间和地点。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后句“the writings(作品)”以及“and identify when and where they were written (并找出它们的写作时间和地点)”可知，研究人员开发的人工智能(AI)系统来帮助历史学家恢复文字和并找出它们的写作时间和地点。划线处和B项：recovery(恢复，复苏)含义相近。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand (但在许多情况下，包含这些铭文的物品在几个世纪中已经被损坏了，这使得铭文的主要部分丢失，难以识别和理解)”可知，物品被损坏导致这些古文很难辨认。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. (DeepMind已经推出了一个基于该系统的免费交互式工具，供研究人员、教育工作者、博物馆工作人员和公众使用)”可推知，Ithaca有很大的市场发展潜力。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written.(研究人员开发了一种人工智能(AI)系统，以帮助历史学家恢复文字，并确定它们写作时间和地点)”以及后文对人工智能(AI)系统可以帮助历史学家解决碰到的困难等作用和用途的介绍，可知D项：AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings(人工智能用于填补古文中的缺词)合乎题意。故选D。 D Summer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke. In the most wintery places, there isn’t much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles(松针), wood smoke and snow—these are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different seasons, wintery weather brings its own set of olfactory(嗅觉的) experiences. But why does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer? One reason is that odor molecules(气味分子) move much more slowly as the air temperature drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. It’s the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days. What’s more, our noses don’t work quite well when the surrounding air is cold, Dalton said. In experiments that require biopsies(活组织检查) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors “bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,” she said, “possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.” “There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,” Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago, added, “and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell.” In The Invalid’s Story by Mark Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting(腐烂的) dead body but is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell, he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him. “What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it or whatever you think it to be,” Hirsch said. “So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, that’s what you will interpret smells to be.” To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells, cook more sweet stews(炖菜)and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast between indoor and outdoor environments. “You’re probably fond of indoor smells in winter,” Dalton said. “Doors are closed, and windows are closed. We concentrate on the smells of cooking and living.” 12. According to the second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that ____. A. there are not many smells available to be smelled in winter B. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup C. garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter D. air temperature affects the direction in which smells spread greatly 13. The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that ______. A. one can easily feel terrible smells in a small space B. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air C. one’s mind and thoughts can affect his sense of smell D. one’s opinion on smells is quite different from others’ 14. Which of the following is NOT a measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter? A. Closing windows. B. Cooking stews. C. Burning candles. D. Baking cookies. 15. How is the passage organized? (P: Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章首先提出：为什么冬天的寒冷和夏天的炎热闻起来不同？接着解释原因是随着气温下降，气味分子的运动速度会慢得多。也就意味着在寒冷、清爽的日子里，能闻到的气味要比炎热、潮湿的日子里少。同时文章用马克·吐温的一个故事来说明人们的心理因素也会对人的嗅觉产生影响。最后说明了为了应对冬季气味的缺乏，人们采取的一些方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. 在寒冷、清爽的日子里，能闻到的气味要比炎热、潮湿的日子里少。可知Pamela Dalton可能会认同冬天可闻的气味不多。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,” Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago, added, “and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell.” “我们的嗅觉中有很强的心理因素，”芝加哥的神经学家和精神病学家Alan Hirsch补充说，“我们想要闻到的气味对我们实际闻到的气味有很大影响。”，接着用Mark Twain的故事来举例说明这一观点，是为了详细说明一个人的思想可以影响他的嗅觉。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。最后一段第一句To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells, cook more sweet stews(炖菜)and bake more cookies可知为了应对冬天气味的缺乏，人们试着燃烧更多有香味的蜡烛，煮更多的甜炖菜，烤更多的饼干，选项中只有A选项：关窗户没有提到。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章结构可知，第一段最后一句But why does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer?可知第一段主要为引出文章的论点：为什么冬天的寒冷和夏天的炎热闻起来不同？接着第二、三段主要解释第一段提出的论点；第三段提出新的论点：人的心理因素会影响人们的嗅觉；第四段说明为了应对冬天气味的缺乏，人们采取的方法。综上，D选项最符合文章的结构。 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。 The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____16____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work? The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____17____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___18___ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____19____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. ___20___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A It all depends on your character. B. Those are the risks you should jump to take. C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival. D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢冒险的来源和科学依据，人们都喜欢冒险，因为风险也意味着回报，生活中人们喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事，这和人的大脑有关． 【16题详解】 根据前文because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking.当我们衡量风险和回报时，风险值得去冒。根据后文Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.有些人喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事。也就是说衡量风险的标准每个人都可能不一样．故F选项 “然而，我们并不是都使用相同的参考标准来衡量风险和回报”与上文为转折关系，且承接下文。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据前文Risk-takers were better at hunting，fighting，or exploring．喜欢冒险的人表现更优秀，这意味着他们有更大的机会生存下去。故C选项“这意味着他们有更大的机会生存下去”承接上文。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文So maybe you love car racing，or maybe you hate it．也许你喜欢赛车，也许你不喜欢，这要依据你的性格。故A选项“这要依据你的性格”承接上文。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据前文scientists say that your Willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.科学家们指出冒险的意愿在年轻时会不断强烈。根据下文To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.为了帮你实现那些，大脑会不断增加你对新的经历的渴望。而这些是在你离开家庭，走进一个更大的世界的时候。故E选项“这些是在你离开家庭，走进一个更大的世界的时候”承接上下文。故选E。 20题详解】 根据下文For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.不同的人的大脑在处理快乐和恐惧时表现也会不一样。故前面应该是说大脑的不同反应。故G选项“新的大脑研究表明，当我们面对紧张的情况时，我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作” 承接下文。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 This past summer, I applied for my very first job at a small bakery in my neighborhood. I knew that if I were ___21___ there, I would learn how to use a cash register, prepare sandwiches, and ___22___ cake orders. I imagined that my biggest struggle would be ___23___ demanding New Yorkers, but I never thought that the act of tying a box would become both my biggest ___24___ and greatest teacher. On my first day of work in late August, one of the employees quickly explained the ___25___. It seemed simple: wrap the string (绳子) around your hand, then wrap it three times around the box both ways, and fasten it. I ___26___ the message in my head, “three times, turn it, three times, tie it” until it became my prayer. After observing several employees, it was ___27___ that anyone tying the box could complete it in a matter of seconds. For weeks, I failed endlessly, only to watch the strong and small pieces of my pride unravel (散开) each time I tried. As I ___28___ to push half-tied cake boxes into plastic bags with embarrassment, I could not help but ___29___ what was wrong with me. ____30____ the weeks progressed, my skills slowly began to improve. Of course, there were days when I just wanted to throw all of the string in the trash and use tape (胶带) instead; this sense of defeat was never ____31____, but remarks like “Oh, you must be ____32____” from impatient customers made me angry and determined to try even harder. Gradually I began to realize that I should not be ____33____ if it takes me longer to learn. I kept on, and I continued to tie boxes every weekend at work. Even though I occasionally fell back into desperation, I always rewrapped the string around my hand and ____34____ over because I learned that the most satisfying victories come from not ____35____. 21.

Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself. “What’s that?” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. The upcoming school party made things even worse — just the thought of being surrounded by unfamiliar faces and having no one to talk with drove her crazy! Jenny sighed deeply and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family. At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.” “Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!” “So?” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.” 46. 阅读下面的短文，根据文本内容，用1-2个恰当的词填空。 Before the grand opening Jenny’ s family had moved here to ________ a restaurant in a few days. ↓ Jenny felt ________ about the decision as she found it hard to talk to people at school, and others often ________ her. Even worse, there would be a school party soon but she hadn’t found any friend yet. On the day of the grand opening On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents ________ the guests with smiles. ↓ Even Jenny was ________ hustling around, ________ glasses with water for her customers. ↓ At one of the tables a family sat with two daughters like Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny ________ the twins, who were her classmates. Feeling ________, Jenny soon ________ in the kitchen. ↓ Jenny’s mother asked her to go out and show ________ to the girls with some fortune cookies. 47. What caused Jenny’s negative feelings before the grand opening? ______________________________________________________________________ 48. Why did Jenny stay back in the kitchen? ______________________________________________________________________ 49. What would happen after Jenny took the cookies to the girls? ______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. ①. open ②. angry ③. ignored ④. were welcoming/welcomed ⑤. happily/delightedly ⑥. filling ⑦. recognised/ recognized ⑧. ashamed/embarrassed/awkward ⑨. hid (herself) ⑩. kindness/friendliness 47. Jenny had been angry about the move, and the first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy. 48. Because she saw her classmates come to her restaurant with their parents and didn’t want to be recognized. 49. The girls would recognize Jenny and chat with her, enjoying the cookies. The three would become friends and take part in the school party together. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了随家人移居并开餐馆的珍妮，从抵触到逐渐融入新环境的过程。 【46题详解】 ①考查动词。根据第一段中“Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days (她们家刚从旧金山搬到这里，买下了一家小餐馆，准备在接下来的几天内盛大开业。)”可知，她的家人是为了开一家餐馆，本空用动词open“开”，位于不定式符号to后，动词用原形。故填①open。 ②考查形容词。根据文章第四段““Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. (“没什么，”珍妮咕哝着。这个女孩对搬家一直很生气，但她的父母已经做出了决定，现在正忙着为大开张做准备，没时间听她的抱怨)”可知，珍妮对于搬家这个决定感到生气，本空用形容词angry“生气的”，作表语。故填②angry。 ③考查动词时态。根据文章第五段中“She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her (她觉得很难和不认识的人交谈，而且好像学生们根本就没有注意到她。)”可知，珍妮很难和不认识的人说话，好像学生们甚至都没有注意到她。这说明其他学生“忽视”她，本空用动词ignore“忽视”，本句描述过去的动作和状态，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式。故填③ignored。 ④考查动词短语。根据文章第六段中“On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red (在大开张的那天，珍妮的父母满面笑容，欢迎顾客们走进这家以金色和红色装饰得焕然一新的餐馆。)”可知，在开业的那天，珍妮的父母面带微笑，欢迎顾客来到餐馆。所以珍妮的父母是“欢迎”顾客，本空用动词welcome“欢迎”，本句描述过去的动作和状态，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式。也可以理解为本句描述过去正在进行的动作，时态用过去进行时，谓语用were welcoming。故填④were welcoming或welcomed。 ⑤考查形容词。根据文章第六段中“Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water (就连珍妮也很高兴，她忙前忙后，安排客人入座，分发菜单，倒满一大杯水。)”可知，即使珍妮也很开心，本空用副词happily/delightedly“开心地，高兴地”，作状语，修饰hustling around。故填⑤happily或delightedly。 ⑥考查非谓语动词。根据文章第六段中“Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water (就连珍妮也很高兴，她忙前忙后，安排客人入座，分发菜单，倒满一大杯水。)”可知，珍妮为客人倒上一大杯水，所以珍妮“装满”水杯，本空用动词fill“装满”，本句谓语为was hustling around，本空为非谓语动词，且与Jenny为主动关系，本空用现在分词，作状语。故填⑥filling。 ⑦考查动词时态。根据文章第七段中“As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class (当她给她们倒水时，珍妮发现这对双胞胎是她的同班同学。)”可知，当她为她们倒水时，Jenny意识到这对双胞胎是她的同学。这说明珍妮“认出”了这对双胞胎，本空用动词recognise或recognize“认出”，本句描述过去的动作和状态，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式。故填⑦recognised/recognized。 ⑧考查形容词。根据文章第七段中“Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. (珍妮低下头，让长发遮住脸，然后转身离开了那张桌子。)”可知，Jenny低下头，长长的头发遮住了她的脸，她转身离开了桌子。这说明珍妮感到很“尴尬”，本空用形容词ashamed/embarrassed/awkward“尴尬地”，作表语。故填⑧ashamed/embarrassed/awkward。 ⑨考查动词时态。根据文章第七段中“Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. (珍妮低下头，让长发遮住脸，然后转身离开了那张桌子。)”、文章第八段“Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher (不久之后，珍妮的母亲在厨房里找到了她，她正在往洗碗机里放盘子。)”可知，珍妮的妈妈很快就在厨房找到了她，这说明Jenny“躲进了”厨房，本空用hide (herself)“（把自己）藏起来”，本句描述过去的动作和状态，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用过去式。故填⑨hid (herself)。 ⑩考查名词。根据文章最后一段“Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello! (去给他们拿些幸运饼干，打个招呼！)”可知，珍妮的妈妈让她向那对双胞胎“展示友好”，本空用名词kindness或friendliness“友好”，作show的宾语。故填⑩kindness或friendliness。 【47题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第四段““Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. (“没什么，”珍妮咕哝着。这个女孩对搬家一直很生气，但她的父母已经做出了决定，现在正忙着为大开张做准备，没时间听她的抱怨)”和第五段中“The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. (在新学校的头几天也并不容易。她觉得很难和不认识的人交谈，而且好像学生们根本就没有注意到她。)”可知，开幕之前，导致珍妮的负面情绪的原因是：珍妮对搬家这一举动很生气，在新学校的头几天并不容易。故答案为：Jenny had been angry about the move, and the first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy.。 【48题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第七段中“As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. (当她给她们倒水时，珍妮发现这对双胞胎是她的同班同学。珍妮低下头，让长发遮住脸，然后转身离开了那张桌子。)”、文章第八段“Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher (不久之后，珍妮的母亲在厨房里找到了她，她正在往洗碗机里放盘子。)”可知，珍妮呆在厨房里是因为她看到同学们和父母一起来她的餐厅，不想被认出。故答案为：Because she saw her classmates come to her restaurant with their parents and didn’t want to be recognized.。 【49题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：珍妮把饼干带给女孩们后会发生什么？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：女孩们会认出珍妮，和她聊天，享受饼干。三人将成为朋友，一起参加学校聚会。故答案为：The girls would recognize Jenny and chat with her, enjoying the cookies. The three would become friends and take part in the school party together.。 第五部分 写作 (满分20分) 50. 假如你是李华，你校交换生Peter邀请你一起创办有关中国京剧文化的公众号（a public account），推广和传播中国京剧文化。请你给他回信，内容包括： 1. 表示支持和赞赏。 2. 就推送内容给出建议。 要求：词数100左右。可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Peter, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, Delighted to hear about your idea of creating a public account to promote Chinese Peking Opera, I’d like to share my thoughts with you.

Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important — sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater, Mr. Bellow, did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke. Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life. 4.

C Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system to help historians renovate the writings and identify when and where they were written. Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions (碑文), to document different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic (陶瓷) and metal. The writings often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they structured their societies. But in many cases, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made. The new AI-based method serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and estimate (估算) the true origins of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet's AI company DeepMind, call their tool Ithaca. The team said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. The researchers reported that in experiments with damaged writings, Ithaca was able to correctly predict missing inscription elements 62 percent of the time. In addition, the tool was 71 percent correct in identifying where the inscriptions first came from. And, the system was able to effectively date writings to within 30 years. When historians work on their own, the success rate for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. The team is currently working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched (发行) a free, interactive tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. 8 Which can replace the underlined word “renovate” in paragraph 1？ A. Adopt. B. Recover. C. Collect. D. Translate. 9. Which reason for the ancient inscriptions' being hard to recognize is mentioned? A. The wars in the past. B. The development of industry. C. The objects' being damaged. D. The extinction of language. 10. What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph? A. Ithaca currently recognizes only English. B. Ithaca has great market development potential. C. Ithaca can completely replace historians in the future. D. Ithaca cannot bring any profit to its development company. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Shortcut to Ancient Inscriptions B. Who Will Be the Historians' Right-Hand Man? C. The Mysterious Contents of Ancient Languages D. AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings D Summer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke. In the most wintery places, there isn’t much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles(松针), wood smoke and snow—these are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different seasons, wintery weather brings its own set of olfactory(嗅觉的) experiences. But why does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer? One reason is that odor molecules(气味分子) move much more slowly as the air temperature drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. It’s the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days. What’s more, our noses don’t work quite well when the surrounding air is cold, Dalton said. In experiments that require biopsies(活组织检查) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors “bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,” she said, “possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.” “There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,” Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago, added, “and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell.” In The Invalid’s Story by Mark Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting(腐烂的) dead body but is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell, he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him. “What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it or whatever you think it to be,” Hirsch said. “So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, that’s what you will interpret smells to be.” To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells, cook more sweet stews(炖菜)and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast between indoor and outdoor environments. “You’re probably fond of indoor smells in winter,” Dalton said. “Doors are closed, and windows are closed. We concentrate on the smells of cooking and living.” 12. According to the second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that ____. A. there are not many smells available to be smelled in winter B. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup C. garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter D. air temperature affects the direction in which smells spread greatly 13. The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that ______. A. one can easily feel terrible smells in a small space B. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air C. one’s mind and thoughts can affect his sense of smell D. one’s opinion on smells is quite different from others’ 14. Which of the following is NOT a measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter? A. Closing windows. B. Cooking stews. C. Burning candles. D. Baking cookies. 15.

Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work? The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____17____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk. So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___18___ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____19____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. ___20___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A. It all depends on your character. B. Those are the risks you should jump to take. C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival. D. Thus these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 This past summer, I applied for my very first job at a small bakery in my neighborhood.

Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself. “What’s that?” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. The upcoming school party made things even worse — just the thought of being surrounded by unfamiliar faces and having no one to talk with drove her crazy! Jenny sighed deeply and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family. At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.” “Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!” “So?” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.” 46. 阅读下面的短文，根据文本内容，用1-2个恰当的词填空。 Before the grand opening Jenny’ s family had moved here to ________ a restaurant in a few days. ↓ Jenny felt ________ about the decision as she found it hard to talk to people at school, and others often ________ her.
