I love that sweater best of all. My grandma made it when I was three. She made that sweater just for me. I picked the yarn (纱线), a special blue. The color of bluebells (风铃草), wet with dew (露珠). When I was three, I was very small. But now I’m five and much too tall. I have a new jacket now that’s green. So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen. Queen just gave birth to kittens in the shed (小屋). My favorite sweater is now their bed. 21. Who is the writer of the poem? A. Miss Taylor. B. The grandma. C. A kitten. D. Queen. 22. How old is the girl in this poem now? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 23. The underlined word “kittens” most probably means . A. a kind of food B. a bed for a baby C. a kind of drink D. baby cats 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一首诗。文章从小女孩的视角出发，讲述了奶奶给三岁的自己织了一件美丽的毛衣，五岁的自己个子变高了，于是把毛衣给了家里的猫Queen，当作Queen和她的小猫咪的床。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据诗歌标题下的“By Bonnie Highsmith Taylor(Bonnie Highsmith Taylor著)”可知，这首诗的作者是Taylor女士。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据诗歌的倒数第五行“But now I’m five and much too tall.(但是现在我五岁了，个子太高了)”可知，诗中的小女孩现在是五岁。故选D项。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen. Queen just gave birth to (所以我把我的毛衣给了我们的猫Queen。Queen刚生下……)”可知，Queen是猫的名字，她生下的应该是小猫咪，因此kittens意思应该是“小猫咪”，即baby cats。故选D项。 B A pair of best friends from Texas are proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit — even when you’re 81. Ellie Hamby, a photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt. Their first stop was Antarctica. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable,” Hamby recalled. Since then, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents. And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments. “We’re both independent, very stubborn. But we seem to allow each other to give space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we’re doing and we kind of respect each other’s feelings.” For Hamby, the most interesting aspect of the trip was the people they met along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.” And they shared an important piece of advice for any travelers worried about the language barrier on their own adventures. “You know, people ask us often about the language, how we manage it,” said Hamby. “We say with Sandy and Ellie, there’s one language and that’s a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not English spoken. But a smile covers all languages.” 24. Why did they finish the trip without arguments? A. They had different personalities. B. They prepared presents for each other. C. They understood and respected each other. D. They allowed each other to voice their ideas. 25. What part of the trip impressed Hamby most? A. The beautiful sights. B. The wonderful people. C. The interesting activities. D. The cultural experiences. 26. What did Hamby suggest travelers do with the language barrier? A. Rely on the smile. B. Be more adventurous. C. Hear English spoken more. D. Learn more languages. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Language Struggles: Testing Friendship B. Travel Troubles: Friendship Tested Abroad C. Talking Struggles: Adventures Lost in Translation D. Limitless Adventure: Two Friends Break Age Barriers 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。这篇文章概括两位81岁的来自德克萨斯州的最佳朋友如何证明，冒险不限于年龄。她们在80天内环绕世界各地旅行，访问了7大洲的18个国家。文章介绍了她们旅途的首站国家以及面对国际旅行挑战时保持良好关系的秘诀。最后，文章提到她们认为最有意思的是旅途中结识的人，以及用微笑跨越语言障碍的宝贵经验。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““We’re both independent, very stubborn. But we seem to allow each other to give space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we’re doing and we kind of respect each other’s feelings.”(“我们都很独立，很固执。但我们似乎允许彼此给予空间。”Hamby说。“我们只是互相理解，我们知道我们在做一件好事，我们有点尊重彼此的感受。”)”可知，理解和尊重对方可以避免争论。故选 C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段““We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.”(她说：“我们喜欢我们看到的所有景点，但我们记得最深刻的是我们遇到的人。”“我们遇到了一些世界上最美妙、最善良、最友好的人。我们现在在世界各地都有我们深爱的朋友。”)”可知，他们印象最深刻的是旅途中碰到的善良友好的人。故选 B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““You know, people ask us often about the language, how we manage it,” said Hamby. “We say with Sandy and Ellie, there’s one language and that’s a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not English spoken. But a smile covers all languages.”(“你知道，人们经常问我们语言的问题，我们是如何处理的，”Hamby说。“我们说桑迪和埃莉有一种语言，那就是微笑。我们发现这很有效，因为我们经常意识到没有人说英语。但是微笑可以覆盖所有的语言。”)”可知，微笑是最好的语言，可以帮助克服语言障碍。故选 A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A pair of best friends from Texas are proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit — even when you’re 81.(一对来自德克萨斯州的好朋友正在证明，冒险没有年龄限制 —— 即使你已经81岁了)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了两位81岁的来自德克萨斯州的最佳朋友如何证明，冒险不限于年龄。她们在80天内环绕世界各地旅行，访问了7大洲的18个国家。文章介绍了她们旅途的首站国家以及面对国际旅行挑战时保持良好关系的秘诀，所以D项“Limitless Adventure: Two Friends Break Age Barriers(无限冒险:两个朋友打破年龄障碍)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 C Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, a combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy. But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism, so he could only chant (反复唱) poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrows as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers. Here we see the tragedy of a genius staying lonely on earth like an angel falling from Heaven. His try is marked by male greatness in The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, which the Chinese name the Milky Way, fall from high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, which is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of the truth, good and beauty. Li Bai is best known for the extraordinary imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor (烈酒). Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, though in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him to. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace the reflection of the moon. 28. Which of the statements is true about Li Bai according to the passage? A. He is a representative of the combination of realistic and romantic culture. B. He put his ability to good use in serving his country at that time. C. He drank wine and chanted poetry to achieve his life goal. D. He made the poems in which complaints and dissatisfaction could be shown. 29. What did Li Bai mainly describe in his poetry? A. The relationship between different classes. B. Criticism of social realism. C. Beautiful nature and feelings. D. Cruelty of the officialdom. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Li Bai liked drinking wine more than anything else. B. Li Bai as well as Du Fu spent much time travelling. C. Li Bai had a more extraordinary imagination than Du Fu. D. Li Bai had to travel because he was very poor. 31. In which column of the newspaper can the passage appear? A. Literature. B. Health. C. Sports. D. Prose. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了唐代伟大的浪漫主义诗人李白的诗歌和生平。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, a combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy.(李白被视为唐朝最伟大的浪漫主义诗人，也是盛唐文化（融合了以儒家思想为代表的北方现实文化与以道家思想为代表的南方浪漫文化的产物）的代表人物)”可知，A选项“他是一位兼具现实主义与浪漫主义风格的代表人物”正确。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of the truth, good and beauty.(在他的诗歌中，我们能够感受到他对自然、自由、人民、朋友的热爱，简而言之，是对真理、美好与美好的一切的热爱)”可知，李白在他的诗歌中主要描写了美丽的自然与情感。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, though in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him to.(就像杜甫那样，他一生中大部分时间都在四处游历，不过对于他而言，这是因为他富有所以能够游历，而非因为贫困迫使他这样做)”可知，李白和杜甫一样花了很多时间在旅行上。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, a combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy.(李白被视为唐朝最伟大的浪漫主义诗人，也是盛唐文化（融合了以儒家思想为代表的北方现实文化与以道家思想为代表的南方浪漫文化的产物）的代表人物)”以及文章主要介绍了唐代伟大的浪漫主义诗人李白的诗歌和生平，所以推测出这篇文章可能会出现在报纸的“文学”专栏。故选 A。 D If students have poor academic results early in school, do they continue to fall further and further behind as they move through their education? If achievement gaps do widen as children develop, this would be evidence for what researchers call the Matthew effect. But is this phenomenon universally true? Not necessarily. We matched NAPLAN reading comprehension and numeracy (计算能力) results for 154,942 Australian students from Year 3 to Year 9. We examined these two skills as they form the basis of learning in many other areas of the curriculum (课程). We have a unique advantage in Australia, because our national NAPLAN tests are designed to track students’ progress over time. So results of one test can be directly compared to those of the next or the previous one. This is rare internationally. Against all expectations, we found that most students starting with below-average NAPLAN results are making more progress from Year 3 to Year 9 compared with students starting above average. Given the widespread beliefs about widening gaps, our results should be comforting. Besides, there is a popular view that teachers aren’t effectively teaching students basic skills. But our research suggests students who begin with poorer reading and numeracy skills are supported by classroom teachers, and do make progress over time. Meanwhile, our results also suggest students who begin with high achievement in Year 3 aren’t making the amount of progress in Year 9. Maybe it’s difficult for teachers to carry out government policies and make use of resources for teaching high-ability students if the majority of classroom time is focused on struggling students. Or perhaps the progress of high-ability students isn’t a high priority (优先考虑的事项) for schools once these students have attained the basic skills expected of their age group. Further research is needed, and ongoing efforts to identify and support the small group of students who still fall behind are very important. Nevertheless, our finding that struggling students can make good progress over time rather than falling further behind should be a cause for optimism among educators and communities. 32. Why did the researchers choose to focus on reading and numeracy skills? A. They are indicators of overall academic development. B. They allow for easy before-and-after comparisons. C. They can be directly measured by NAPLAN tests. D. They are globally recognized as useful skills. 33. What do the research results suggest? A. Average students are more popular with teachers. B. Most struggling students have improved a lot. C. Teachers fail to teach students basic skills. D. The achievement gaps are widening. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The difficulties in teaching high-ability students. B. The expected basic skills of different age groups. C. The unreasonable arrangement of education resources. D. The reasons for high-ability students’ underachievement. 35. How would educators and communities feel about the research finding? A. Worried. B. Confused. C. Encouraged. D. Disappointed. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是研究发现，随着时间的推移，早期学习成绩不佳的学生可以“迎头赶上”。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We examined these two skills as they form the basis of learning in many other areas of the curriculum (课程).(我们研究了这两种技能，因为它们构成了课程中许多其他领域学习的基础。)”可知研究人员选择研究阅读和算术能力是因为它们是很多其他学科的学习基础，能反映整体学习能力的发展，故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Against all expectations, we found that most students starting with below-average NAPLAN results are making more progress from Year 3 to Year 9 compared with students starting above average.(出乎意料的是，我们发现大多数NAPLAN成绩低于平均水平的学生在三年级到九年级的进步比平均成绩高于平均水平的学生要大。)”可知，研究结果表明大部分低于平均水平的学生取得了更大的进步，故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Meanwhile, our results also suggest students who begin with high achievement in Year 3 aren’t making the amount of progress in Year 9. Maybe it’s difficult for teachers to carry out government policies and make use of resources for teaching high-ability students if the majority of classroom time is focused on struggling students. Or perhaps the progress of high-ability students isn’t a high priority ( 优先考虑的事项) for schools once these students have attained the basic skills expected of their age group.(同时，我们的研究结果还表明，那些在三年级时成绩优异的学生，到九年级时所取得的进步并不理想。这可能是因为如果教师将大部分课堂时间都用于关注学习困难的学生，那么他们就很难落实政府政策，也难以利用资源来开展针对高能力学生的教学工作。又或者，一旦这些高能力学生掌握了其年龄群体应具备的基本技能，学校就不再将他们的进步视为首要任务。)”可知，本段主要解释了能力高的学生没有取得应有进步的可能原因，故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, our finding that struggling students can make good progress over time rather than falling further behind should be a cause for optimism among educators and communities.(然而，我们的研究发现，随着时间的推移，学习困难的学生可以取得很好的进步，而不是进一步落后，这应该是教育工作者和社区乐观的原因。)”可知，对于教育工作者和社区来说，这一研究结果会让他们深受鼓舞，故选C项。 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。 Ways to Manage Everyday Stress Life can be stressful at times.

The seven-character poem To Wang Lun, ____57____(write) by Tang poet Li Bai(701-762), is a good example of poetry that ____58____(carry) this theme. It describes a scene in which the poet’s friend Wang Lun, hurries to see him off, ____59____(show) true friendship. While the poem starts with ordinary images, it ends with passionate and sincere emotions. Li uses simile（比喻) to state that ____60____ deep the water may be, it still pales in front of their deep friendship.

The starting lines are so plain and simple that they almost read like prose(散文).They even contain names, something rarely ___65___ (see) in traditional Chinese poetry. It shows Li’s character—he is free and wild. 【答案】56. Whether 57. written 58. carries 59. showing 60. however 61. to avoid 62. which 63. a 64. Suddenly 65. seen 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文是一篇诗歌鉴赏，主要介绍了李白的著名诗篇《赠汪伦》，诗中描述了诗人的朋友汪伦匆匆送行的一个场景，表现出真正的友谊。 【详解】1.考查连词。句意：不管是直白的还是含蓄的，它在世界各地的诗歌中都有所体现。根据句意可知，此处用whether...or...“不管......还是......”，引导让步状语从句，注意首字母要大写。故填Whether。 2.考查非谓语动词。句意：唐代诗人李白(701-762)写的七言诗《赠汪伦》就是体现这一主题的一个好例子。分析可知，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，逻辑主语poem与write为动宾关系，所以write用过去分词。故填written。 3.考查时态。句意同上。分析可知，此处为定语从句谓语动词，that为关系代词，指代先行词example，结合is，所以此处用一般现在时，动词用单三形式。故填carries。 4.考查非谓语动词。句意：它描写了诗人的朋友汪伦赶去送行的一幕，展示了真正的友谊。分析可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，show与句子主语it为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词。故填showing。 5.考查让步状语从句。句意：李用明喻来说明，无论水有多深，在他们深厚的友谊面前，仍然黯然失色。句式however+形容词/副词+ 主语+谓语，意为“无论......”，however引导让步状语从句，故填however。 6.考查非谓语动词。句意：诗人的目的是避免直接赞美友谊，那样就没有那么诗意了。aim to do sth.意为“旨在做某事”。故填to avoid。 7.考查定语从句。句意同上。空白处及之后的内容为定语从句，修饰前文整个句子，从句缺少主语，所以用关系代词which。故填which。 8.考查冠词。句意：诗的前两行给我们提供了背景信息。Li 在一艘船上，准备出发。boat为可数名词单数，此处表泛指，应用不定冠词，且boat的发音是辅音音素开头，应用冠词a。故填a。 9.考查副词。句意：突然，他听到有人在岸边唱歌。修饰整个句子要用副词，注意首字母大写。故填Suddenly。 10.考查非谓语动词。句意：它们甚至还有名字，这在中国传统诗歌中很少见。分析可知，设空处为修饰something的后置定语，逻辑主语something与see为动宾关系，所以see要用非谓语动词的过去分词形式表被动。故填seen。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 书面表达（满分15分） 66. 近年来，环境污染问题日益严重，全球气候变暖导致极端天气频现。假定你是李华，请代表学生会向全校学生写一份倡议书，呼吁大家从身边小事做起，共同保护环境。 要点包括： 1. 倡议的背景； 2. 倡议的具体内容： 3. 发出呼吁。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Students’ Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, Nowadays, the environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious and global warming causes frequent extreme weather.

He was very excited but was a little nervous about his first camping trip with his parents. “What if the tent falls over and kills us? What if the wind blows the tent away? What if a wolf comes into the tent and eats us? ... ,” he kept asking his father silly questions. “Perhaps, you have read too many stories with big bad wolves,” his father replied, laughing. “There aren’t any wolves in the city or even in the whole country, except in zoos.” “Well, what if one escaped from a zoo?” Billy insisted. “Zoos were careful enough not to let their animals escape.” his father comforted Billy. Billy soon forgot about wolves as they started preparing for the camping trip. Billy helped his father load up the car. They put in the tent, a big one for the whole family. Then the sleeping bags, blankets and more. When everything was packed, his father started the car. Soon they were leaving the city behind them. “Look at the cows!” shouted his mother excitedly when they were arriving at the campsite, which belonged to a farm and was in a big field. “They are eating the grass!” Once the tent was set up, Billy went to explore. There were trees to climb and a stream for catching insects and fish. The day flew by and it was getting dark. As they got inside the tent and were ready for sleep, strange noises kept coming from the distance. “What’s that noise? Is it a wolf approaching?” Billy asked his mother and moved closer to her. “Maybe it’s just the wind.” said his mother, who patted Billy sleepily. Billy didn’t say anything and made himself into his sleeping bag. After a long day outdoors, his father and mother were very tired and fell asleep soon. 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。 But Billy was too nervous to sleep. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Carefully, Billy opened the tent’s door and went outside, listening for the source of the mysterious noises. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But Billy was too nervous to sleep. The strange noises in the distance kept his mind racing with wild imaginations. He couldn’t shake off the fear of a possible wolf lurking in the darkness. As his parents peacefully slept, he decided to take matters into his own hands and find out the source of those mysterious sounds. Carefully, Billy opened the tent’s door and went outside, listening for the source of the mysterious noises. He discovered a group of hooting owls perched on nearby trees, realizing they were the harmless creators of the eerie sounds. As he watched in awe, the beauty of nature calmed his anxious heart.

When I was three, I was very small. But now I’m five and much too tall. I have a new jacket now that’s green. So I gave my sweater to our cat Queen. Queen just gave birth to kittens in the shed (小屋).

Ellie Hamby, a photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt. Their first stop was Antarctica. “The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable,” Hamby recalled. Since then, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents. And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments. “We’re both independent, very stubborn. But we seem to allow each other to give space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we’re doing and we kind of respect each other’s feelings.” For Hamby, the most interesting aspect of the trip was the people they met along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.” And they shared an important piece of advice for any travelers worried about the language barrier on their own adventures. “You know, people ask us often about the language, how we manage it,” said Hamby. “We say with Sandy and Ellie, there’s one language and that’s a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not English spoken. But a smile covers all languages.” 24. Why did they finish the trip without arguments? A. They had different personalities. B. They prepared presents for each other. C. They understood and respected each other. D. They allowed each other to voice their ideas. 25. What part of the trip impressed Hamby most? A. The beautiful sights. B. The wonderful people. C. The interesting activities. D. The cultural experiences. 26. What did Hamby suggest travelers do with the language barrier? A. Rely on the smile. B. Be more adventurous. C. Hear English spoken more. D. Learn more languages. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Language Struggles: Testing Friendship B. Travel Troubles: Friendship Tested Abroad C. Talking Struggles: Adventures Lost in Translation D. Limitless Adventure: Two Friends Break Age Barriers C Li Bai is regarded as the greatest romantic poet of the Tang Dynasty and a representative of the High Tang culture, a combination of realistic Northern culture represented by Confucian philosophy and romantic Southern culture represented by Taoist philosophy. But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism, so he could only chant (反复唱) poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrows as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers. Here we see the tragedy of a genius staying lonely on earth like an angel falling from Heaven. His try is marked by male greatness in The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, which the Chinese name the Milky Way, fall from high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, which is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of the truth, good and beauty. Li Bai is best known for the extraordinary imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor (烈酒). Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, though in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him to. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace the reflection of the moon. 28. Which of the statements is true about Li Bai according to the passage? A. He is a representative of the combination of realistic and romantic culture. B. He put his ability to good use in serving his country at that time. C. He drank wine and chanted poetry to achieve his life goal. D. He made the poems in which complaints and dissatisfaction could be shown. 29. What did Li Bai mainly describe in his poetry? A. The relationship between different classes. B. Criticism of social realism. C. Beautiful nature and feelings. D. Cruelty of the officialdom. 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Li Bai liked drinking wine more than anything else. B. Li Bai as well as Du Fu spent much time travelling. C. Li Bai had a more extraordinary imagination than Du Fu. D. Li Bai had to travel because he was very poor. 31. In which column of the newspaper can the passage appear? A. Literature. B. Health. C. Sports. D. Prose. D If students have poor academic results early in school, do they continue to fall further and further behind as they move through their education? If achievement gaps do widen as children develop, this would be evidence for what researchers call the Matthew effect. But is this phenomenon universally true? Not necessarily. We matched NAPLAN reading comprehension and numeracy (计算能力) results for 154,942 Australian students from Year 3 to Year 9. We examined these two skills as they form the basis of learning in many other areas of the curriculum (课程). We have a unique advantage in Australia, because our national NAPLAN tests are designed to track students’ progress over time. So results of one test can be directly compared to those of the next or the previous one. This is rare internationally. Against all expectations, we found that most students starting with below-average NAPLAN results are making more progress from Year 3 to Year 9 compared with students starting above average. Given the widespread beliefs about widening gaps, our results should be comforting. Besides, there is a popular view that teachers aren’t effectively teaching students basic skills. But our research suggests students who begin with poorer reading and numeracy skills are supported by classroom teachers, and do make progress over time. Meanwhile, our results also suggest students who begin with high achievement in Year 3 aren’t making the amount of progress in Year 9. Maybe it’s difficult for teachers to carry out government policies and make use of resources for teaching high-ability students if the majority of classroom time is focused on struggling students. Or perhaps the progress of high-ability students isn’t a high priority (优先考虑的事项) for schools once these students have attained the basic skills expected of their age group. Further research is needed, and ongoing efforts to identify and support the small group of students who still fall behind are very important. Nevertheless, our finding that struggling students can make good progress over time rather than falling further behind should be a cause for optimism among educators and communities. 32. Why did the researchers choose to focus on reading and numeracy skills? A. They are indicators of overall academic development. B. They allow for easy before-and-after comparisons. C. They can be directly measured by NAPLAN tests. D. They are globally recognized as useful skills. 33. What do the research results suggest? A. Average students are more popular with teachers. B. Most struggling students have improved a lot. C. Teachers fail to teach students basic skills. D. The achievement gaps are widening. 34. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The difficulties in teaching high-ability students. B. The expected basic skills of different age groups. C. The unreasonable arrangement of education resources. D. The reasons for high-ability students’ underachievement. 35. How would educators and communities feel about the research finding? A. Worried. B. Confused. C. Encouraged. D. Disappointed. 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。 Ways to Manage Everyday Stress Life can be stressful at times. You can’t avoid stress.

He was very excited but was a little nervous about his first camping trip with his parents. “What if the tent falls over and kills us? What if the wind blows the tent away? What if a wolf comes into the tent and eats us? ... ,” he kept asking his father silly questions. “Perhaps, you have read too many stories with big bad wolves,” his father replied, laughing. “There aren’t any wolves in the city or even in the whole country, except in zoos.” “Well, what if one escaped from a zoo?” Billy insisted. “Zoos were careful enough not to let their animals escape.” his father comforted Billy. Billy soon forgot about wolves as they started preparing for the camping trip. Billy helped his father load up the car. They put in the tent, a big one for the whole family. Then the sleeping bags, blankets and more. When everything was packed, his father started the car. Soon they were leaving the city behind them. “Look at the cows!” shouted his mother excitedly when they were arriving at the campsite, which belonged to a farm and was in a big field. “They are eating the grass!” Once the tent was set up, Billy went to explore. There were trees to climb and a stream for catching insects and fish. The day flew by and it was getting dark. As they got inside the tent and were ready for sleep, strange noises kept coming from the distance. “What’s that noise? Is it a wolf approaching?” Billy asked his mother and moved closer to her. “Maybe it’s just the wind.” said his mother, who patted Billy sleepily.
