Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age. Those hard times tested the family as a whole. The more stressed Rehan was, the worse his grades became. His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life. However, things didn’t go that way. His father was in bad physical condition and then Rehan had to take a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal. He was smart and worked harder than any others. His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland. But Rehan’s struggles still weren’t over. During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风). Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it. With a sick father, a younger brother, a hard job, and a little time to learn, Rehan just had his own painful story to stand on. “Yes, Rehan has a quick mind, but what makes his achievement even more admirable is his courageous journey to this moment,” said his professor. 4. What does the author mean by saying “hungry for more” in Paragraph 2? A. Rehan was pained due to the lack of food. B. Rehan wanted to get along well with his father. C. Sufferings made Rehan more determined to fight. D. Unlucky experience taught Rehan to take things easy. 5. Why did Rehan go into sports? A. He wished to change his life. B.

He was refused by Bowie State University. C. He could continue his study with others’ help. D. His co-workers found the job difficult for him. 7. Which of the following can best describe Rehan’s days in college? A. Colourful but busy. B. Fresh and relaxing. C. Adventurous and funny. D. Challenging but rewarding. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公Rehan克服家庭困难，通过努力进入哈佛法学院的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.( Rehan经历了多年的家庭斗争、贫困和不公平。他看到他的父亲做几份工作来抚养他和他的兄弟，几乎没有休息和食物。Rehan承认他很痛苦，“渴望得到更多”。在他很小的时候，生活就教会了他努力工作和自我完善的价值)”可知，Rehan经历了家庭的挣扎、贫困和不公，生活的苦难让他意识到努力工作和自我提升的价值，所以“hungry for more”意思是苦难让他更有决心去奋斗。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.( 他父亲告诉他要学会通过锻炼来放松。带着不同的目的，他把自己的精力投入到体育运动中，他希望这能成为他摆脱贫困生活的途径)”可知，Rehan从事体育运动是希望这能成为他摆脱贫困生活的途径，即他希望通过运动改变自己的人生。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland.( 他的同事对他评价很高，并劝他回学校去。公司的一位老板甚至帮助他进入了鲍伊州立大学。Rehan的平均成绩为4.0分，并且能够转学到马里兰大学)” 可知，Rehan工作后，他的同事高度评价他并劝他回学校，公司的一位老板甚至帮他在鲍伊州立大学注册，他后来取得了好成绩并转学到了马里兰大学，所以他在别人的帮助下能够继续他的学业。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风) . Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.( 他在马里兰大学读大三的时候，父亲中风了。为了救他的父亲，Rehan没有辍学，而是回到了Bates Trucking & Trash Removal公司。他每天凌晨3点起床，课前工作，把学习计划翻倍。最后，他以优异的成绩毕业了。此外，他开始申请哈佛法学院，并成功了)”可知，在大学里，Rehan面临着父亲中风的困境，他要工作还要学习，每天凌晨3点起床工作然后去上课，学习计划加倍，这说明他的大学生活充满挑战；但最后他以好成绩毕业，还被哈佛大学法学院录取，这又是很有回报的。故选D项。 C “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. ” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. “Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4. 5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again. Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But the result is still a warning for us, so scientists say we should stay alert for it. “Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction. ” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco. Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%)and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”. 8. According to Professor Greenfield, using digital media in education leads to ________. A. failing to read other people’s emotions B. making more mistakes when taking exams C. falling far behind others in all schoolwork D. being on bad terms with family members 9. What does the underlined word “alert” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Calm. B. Relaxed. C. Satisfied. D. Alarmed. 10. What can we know from the text? A. Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces. B. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries. C. Students living without screens did much better in studies. D. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Stay away from the Internet. B. Here comes a digital world. C. Emotions can be understood. D. Screens harm emotion understanding. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过多使用电子设备会影响情绪理解。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” (加利福尼亚大学的帕特里夏·格林菲尔德说：“许多人关注数字设备在教育中的好处，但忽视了其代价，失去理解他人情绪的能力就是代价之一。”)”可知，根据格林菲尔德教授的说法，在教育中使用数字媒体会导致无法读懂他人的情绪。故选A。 9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But the result is still a warning for us, so scientists say we should stay alert for it. (但研究结果仍给我们敲响了警钟，因此科学家称我们应保持alert。)”可知，这个结果对我们是一个警告，所以科学家说我们应该对此保持警觉。故alert意思是“警觉的”，与Alarmed意思相近。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. (但现在科学家们又给了我们一个警告：过多地玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变得迟钝。)”以及最后一段中“So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”. (所以，如果你想成为一个善解人意的朋友，而不是《每日邮报》所说的“无助的一代”的一员，那就多花点时间远离手机和电脑吧。)”可知，过多地使用电子设备引起了一些担忧。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. (但现在科学家们又给了我们一个警告：过多地玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变得迟钝。)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家通过实验证明过多使用电子设备会影响理解他人情绪的能力，故D选项“Screens harm emotion understanding (电子设备屏幕影响情绪理解)”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, but it also causes pollution, wastes energy, and surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho. Ooho is designed for large outdoor events where a large number plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. It’s a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of the membrane (膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. It’s completely tasteless so you needn’t worry about any taste. It aims for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention. The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble (泡状物) or a unit of bubbles has not been decided yet, but it costs about two cent to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in London for the past six months. Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running. It’s quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out for these bottles of the future. 12. How is most plastic in America dealt with? A. It is reused as new energy. B. It is buried under the ground. C. It is thrown away as rubbish. D. It is applied to new technology. 13. What can we know about the Ooho? A. It plans to be sold at a very low price. B. It has some advantages over plastic bottles. C. Suitable materials of making Ooho are hard to find. D. Most people in London use Ooho instead of plastic bottles. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards Ooho’s future? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Worried. 15. Who is probably the article written for? A. Scientists. B. Experts. C. Environmentalists. D. The public. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一项新的发明——一种可以替代塑料瓶子的水瓶子Ooho，它既能装水，也可食用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is created as rubbish a year. (在美国，只有23%的塑料最终进入了回收箱，这意味着每年有价值超过10亿美元的塑料被当作垃圾处理。)”可知，美国大部分塑料杯当成垃圾扔掉，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ooho is designed for large outdoor events where a large number plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. It's a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. (Ooho是为大型户外活动而设计的，那里使用了大量的塑料瓶，经常被当作垃圾丢弃。这是一种方便、透明的水瓶，既可以喝也可以吃。)”可知，这个新发明的瓶子与塑料瓶相比有很多优势，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out for these bottles of the future. (它正在迅速崛起，所以请留意这些未来的瓶子。)”可知，作者对Ooho的未来持积极态度，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，这篇文章介绍了一种名为Ooho的新发明，一种可以吃也可以喝的水瓶，以及它解决传统塑料水瓶造成的塑料污染问题的潜力。文章还提供了例子和统计数据，以帮助说明塑料污染问题和替代解决方案的必要性，使其具有相关性并吸引广泛的读者。由此可推知，这篇文章是写给普通大众的，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。 Life is full of comparisons. ____16____ But often, these comparisons become harmful to the point where your thoughts aren’t your own anymore, and one day, you realize you’re not living your own life because you’re trying to live someone else’s. One hundred years ago, if you wanted to compare yourself to another person, you looked to your peers or those around you. ____17____ But about twenty years ago, with the explosion of social media, you have the opportunity to compare yourself to nearly every person on the planet. And that’s a lot of pressure. ____18____ Don’t stress out; you don’t need one more thing to feel bad about! It takes E Leos of confidence and emotional strength to learn how to stop comparing yourself. Instead, here are tips to stop bad comparisons and refocus your energy on positive things. Get rid of harmful relationships. Just like your loved ones can be a powerful fore helping you feel good about yourself, some harmful relationships can take a real toll on sour self-esteem. ____19____ Organize your social media feed.

Feeling bad about your comparison habit? B. So, how can we be better at dealing with such a bad thing? C. Take a one-week break from all social media and see how you feel. D. This is why it’s important to choose who you follow and listen to online, E. Avoid people who are constantly comparing themselves to you or others. F. Sixty years ago, you might have added television and movie stars to that list. G. Comparing is human nature, and sometimes is good, inspiring us to be better. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述过度比较有害，需减少社交媒体影响并专注自我。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Life is full of comparisons (生活充满了比较)”以及下文“But often, these comparisons become harmful to the point where your thoughts aren’t your own anymore (但通常，这些比较变得有害，以至于你的想法不再是你自己的)”可知，此处需承上启下，与下文形成对比转折，选项G“Comparing is human nature, and sometimes is good, inspiring us to be better. (比较是人类的天性，有时是好的，激励我们变得更好)” 符合上下文逻辑，引出主题。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One hundred years ago, if you wanted to compare yourself to another person, you looked to your peers or those around you. (一百年前，如果你想把自己和另一个人比较，你会看看你同龄人或你周围的人)”，以及下文“But about twenty years ago, with the explosion of social media, you have the opportunity to compare yourself to nearly every person on the planet. (但大约20年前，随着社交媒体的爆炸式增长，你有机会将自己与地球上几乎每一个人进行比较)”可知，第二段前两句提到“100年前，人们只和身边人比较”，后文转折“20年前社交媒体兴起后，比较对象扩大到全球”。可知，此处需填补时间线空缺，衔接上下文。选项F“Sixty years ago, you might have added television and movie stars to that list. (60年前，你可能会把电视和电影明星也列入其中)”符合逻辑。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Don’t stress out; you don’t need one more thing to feel bad about! (不要压力过大；你不需要再为一件事感到难过了！)”可知，下文是针对“因比较习惯而自责”的建议。由此推断此处要以问句形式引出下文解决方案，选项A“Feeling bad about your comparison habit? (为自己的攀比习惯感到难过？)”符合逻辑。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Get rid of harmful relationships. Just like your loved ones can be a powerful fore helping you feel good about yourself, some harmful relationships can take a real toll on sour self-esteem. (摆脱有害的关系。就像你爱的人可以成为帮助你自我感觉良好的强大力量一样，一些有害的关系也会对糟糕的自尊造成真正的伤害)”可知，第四段主题是“摆脱有害关系”，有害关系会打击自尊。因此此处要给出具体的建议，选项E“Avoid people who are constantly comparing themselves to you or others. (避免那些总是拿自己和你或别人比较的人)”，给出的建议与“harmful relationships(糟糕的关系)”直接相关，符合逻辑。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Organize your social media feed. Online comparisons are the most dangerous because it’s so easy to compare yourself to so many people. (整理你的社交媒体动态。网上比较是最危险的，因为你很容易把自己和很多人比较)”可知，第五段讨论“社交媒体比较的危险性”，而下文“Go through your feed and unfollow or unfriend any accounts that don’t uplift you. (浏览你的信息流，取消关注那些不能提升你的账号，不添加他们为好友)”，即建议“清理关注列表”。由此推断此处要解释选择关注对象的重要性，然后因此下文的建议。选项D“This is why it’s important to choose who you follow and listen to online. (这就是为什么选择你在网上关注和收听的人很重要)”符合逻辑。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)(基础题+中等题) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Yolai grew up in a small town in India.

At school, she rarely spoke to her classmates or teachers. She would sit at the back of the classroom, her head down, avoiding eye contact. Her teachers often called on her, but she would only give short, quiet answers before closing herself off again. One day, her English teacher, Mrs. James, noticed Ava’s love for stories during a creative writing task. “Ava,” Mrs. James said after class, “I think you have a wonderful imagination.Have you ever thought about joining the drama club? We’re putting on a play next month, and I believe you’d be perfect for the lead role.” Ava’s face turned red, and she shook her head quickly. “No, I can’t. I’m not good at speaking in front of people. I’d just embarrass myself. I’m afraid to fail.” Mrs. James smiled gently. “I understand how you feel, but sometimes, we need to step out of our comfort zones and try new things to see how much we can grow. Just give it a try. You might surprise yourself.” Ava hesitated but finally agreed to try out for the role. To her shock, she was chosen for the lead role. The weeks leading up to the play were filled with practice sessions. At first, Ava struggled to speak loudly enough for others to hear. Her fellow actors, however, were supportive. “You’ve got this, Ava!” one of them said during a practice. “Just imagine you’re telling a story to your friends.” Slowly, Ava began to open up. She practiced her lines every night, and her confidence grew. On the night of the performance, she stood backstage, her hands trembling. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of Mrs. James’s words. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the curtains opened, Ava stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Backstage, Ava couldn’t stop smiling as she saw Mrs. James approaching her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As the curtains opened, Ava stepped onto the stage. When Ava began her first lines, her voice was soft but clear. As the play went on, she became less nervous. She moved across the stage with ease, her voice growing stronger and filled with emotion. When the play ended, there was a moment of quietness before the audience burst into loud clapping. Ava had done it — she had faced her fear and succeeded! At the moment, the first thing that came to her mind was to thank Mrs. James. Backstage, Ava couldn’t stop smiling as she saw Mrs.James approaching her. She thanked Mrs. James. “You believed in me when I was unsure of myself,” Ava said.Mrs. James smiled and replied, “You did this all on your own. I just gave you a little push.” For the first time, Ava felt proud of herself. She realized that trying something new had allowed her to discover a part of herself she never knew existed. The fear of failure no longer held her back, and she knew this was just the beginning of many more opportunities to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了害羞的女孩艾娃在英语老师的鼓励下，克服内心的恐惧，参加学校戏剧社并成功完成演出的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“幕布拉开时，艾娃走上舞台。”可知，第一段可描写艾娃在舞台上的表演过程，从开始时声音轻柔到逐渐放松、充满感情，以及表演结束后观众的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“在后台，当艾娃看到詹姆斯夫人走近她时，她忍不住笑了。”可知，第二段可描写艾娃在后台与老师的互动，艾娃向老师表达感谢，老师对艾娃进行鼓励，艾娃意识到自己的成长并对未来充满信心。 2.续写线索：上台表演 —— 逐渐投入 —— 表演成功 —— 观众鼓掌 —— 后台致谢 —— 感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①开始：begin/start ②移动：move across/move around ③结束：end/finish/come to an end 情绪类： ①紧张的：nervous/tense/uneasy ②害怕：fear/scare 【点睛】【高分句型1】When Ava began her first lines, her voice was soft but clear.

Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age. Those hard times tested the family as a whole. The more stressed Rehan was, the worse his grades became. His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life. However, things didn’t go that way. His father was in bad physical condition and then Rehan had to take a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal. He was smart and worked harder than any others. His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland. But Rehan’s struggles still weren’t over. During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风). Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it. With a sick father, a younger brother, a hard job, and a little time to learn, Rehan just had his own painful story to stand on. “Yes, Rehan has a quick mind, but what makes his achievement even more admirable is his courageous journey to this moment,” said his professor. 4. What does the author mean by saying “hungry for more” in Paragraph 2? A. Rehan was pained due to the lack of food. B. Rehan wanted to get along well with his father. C. Sufferings made Rehan more determined to fight. D. Unlucky experience taught Rehan to take things easy. 5. Why did Rehan go into sports? A. He wished to change his life. B. He found his talent for sports. C. He wanted to improve his mood. D. He tried to develop new hobbies. 6. What happened after Rehan went to work? A. His father’s health gradually improved. B. He was refused by Bowie State University. C. He could continue his study with others’ help. D. His co-workers found the job difficult for him. 7. Which of the following can best describe Rehan’s days in college? A. Colourful but busy. B. Fresh and relaxing. C. Adventurous and funny. D. Challenging but rewarding. C “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy ” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. “Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4. 5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again. Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But the result is still a warning for us, so scientists say we should stay alert for it. “Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction. ” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco. Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%)and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”. 8. According to Professor Greenfield, using digital media in education leads to ________. A. failing to read other people’s emotions B. making more mistakes when taking exams C. falling far behind others in all schoolwork D. being on bad terms with family members 9. What does the underlined word “alert” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Calm. B. Relaxed. C. Satisfied. D. Alarmed. 10. What can we know from the text? A. Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces. B. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries. C. Students living without screens did much better in studies. D. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Stay away from the Internet. B. Here comes a digital world. C. Emotions can be understood. D. Screens harm emotion understanding. D Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, but it also causes pollution, wastes energy, and surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho. Ooho is designed for large outdoor events where a large number plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. It’s a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of the membrane (膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. It’s completely tasteless so you needn’t worry about any taste. It aims for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention. The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble (泡状物) or a unit of bubbles has not been decided yet, but it costs about two cent to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in London for the past six months. Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running.

Dear fellow students, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The English Club 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 A New Beginning Ava had always been a shy girl, preferring to spend time with books rather than people.She loved spending her afternoons in the school library, where she could escape into different worlds through the pages of her favorite novels. At school, she rarely spoke to her classmates or teachers. She would sit at the back of the classroom, her head down, avoiding eye contact. Her teachers often called on her, but she would only give short, quiet answers before closing herself off again. One day, her English teacher, Mrs. James, noticed Ava’s love for stories during a creative writing task. “Ava,” Mrs. James said after class, “I think you have a wonderful imagination.Have you ever thought about joining the drama club? We’re putting on a play next month, and I believe you’d be perfect for the lead role.” Ava’s face turned red, and she shook her head quickly. “No, I can’t. I’m not good at speaking in front of people. I’d just embarrass myself. I’m afraid to fail.” Mrs. James smiled gently. “I understand how you feel, but sometimes, we need to step out of our comfort zones and try new things to see how much we can grow. Just give it a try. You might surprise yourself.” Ava hesitated but finally agreed to try out for the role. To her shock, she was chosen for the lead role. The weeks leading up to the play were filled with practice sessions. At first, Ava struggled to speak loudly enough for others to hear. Her fellow actors, however, were supportive. “You’ve got this, Ava!” one of them said during a practice. “Just imagine you’re telling a story to your friends.” Slowly, Ava began to open up. She practiced her lines every night, and her confidence grew. On the night of the performance, she stood backstage, her hands trembling. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of Mrs. James’s words. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the curtains opened, Ava stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Backstage, Ava couldn’t stop smiling as she saw Mrs. James approaching her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
