After all, in a country where happy easter and happy birthday are common, that merry part of merry Christmas is pretty unique. It's important to note that happy Christmas hasn't disappeared completely. It's still widely used in england. This is because happy takes on a higher class meaning than mary, but merry Christmas has been used since at least fifteen thirty four. The english song we wish you a merry Christmas, which was introduced in the fifteen hundreds, also uses the popular phrase as both words developed and changed meanings. Over time, people slowly stopped using mary as its own individual word. During the eighth and seventh centuries, IT stuck around in common phrases like the more the maria, as well as in things like Christmas songs and stories. Largely due to the influence of Charles dickens, the Victorian Christmas went on to define many of today's Christmas traditions. Now let's learn about some Christmas traditions through videos.

The wandering Earth Ⅱ, a science-fiction movie, has aroused hot debate among galaxy scientists and science-fiction writers, both in China and overseas. Among them, John Gribbin, a UK-based science writer, speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that’s what makes science fiction prosper.
“It is very important in this technological age for people to understand the fundamentals of science, and then popular science writing can inform them of the world around them,” he says. “This is a bit like music. Even if you are not a great musician, if you know a little bit, you gain a deeper appreciation of great music.” Zhou Binghong, a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, holds a similar view. “The more scientific knowledge one gains, the more questions he or she will have about how the world runs. This leaves them wanting to know more, especially youngsters.”
Both episodes of The Wandering Earth include quite a few imagined technologies that need basic scientific knowledge to understand. In the latest one, for example, what aroused most fierce discussions among the public is a “space elevator” that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket. On various platforms, there are discussions about whether such an elevator is possible. If it is, what materials would be used?
For Zhou, such discussions themselves mean the public has a taste for science. He says, “Interest marks the first step toward creativity. Who knows who will emerge as an engineer for such an elevator in 50 years’ time?”
Impressed by the progress of science-related industries in China, Gribbin says that, “It is going from strength to strength,” and that, “China is one of the leading countries for scientific research and technological development, and the Chinese people are naturally interested in these developments.”
24. What leads to the popularity of science fiction according to Paragraph 1?
A. The charm of science. B. The attraction of literature.
C. The popularity of the film. D. The development of science education.
25. Why does the author mention the music in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress music is necessary in science.
B. To tell why music appreciation is important.
C. To show the relationship between music and science.
D. To indicate the importance of learning scientific knowledge.
26. Which is the function of “space elevator” in The Wandering Earth?
A. It helps control the rocket. B. It sends astronauts into space.
C. It enables astronauts to walk in space. D. It maintains astronauts’ safety in space.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?
A. Putting Science into Fiction B. Fictions Gaining Popularity
C. Science Planting Seeds of Hope D. A Leading Country for Scientific Research
C
Herbert George Wells was born in England in 1866. He did not come from a rich family. His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen. He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist’s. He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college. After he left there he became a teacher, but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue. He then worked in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups. None of this made him much money.
The Time Machine was his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy with the finished book, it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer.
It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time. It is the first real science fiction book. It introduces the reader to the idea of time as the fourth dimension, with the three dimensions of space ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking. Wells also describes a simple mechanical answer to the problem of time travel—a time machine. Nobody had ever described time travel in a machine before, and the words ‘time machine’ entered the English language.
After the great success of this book, Wells wrote more science fiction. His most famous books are The Island of Dr Moreaui (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Man in the Moon (1901). All of them have been filmed, some more than once. H. G. Wells died in London in 1946.
28. Why did Wells begin to write for newspapers in London?
A. He wanted to make more money. B. He was never happy with his former job.
C. He was seriously injured in sport. D. His second wife asked him to do so.
29. How different was The Time Machine from other books of the time?
A. It introduced the idea of four dimensions of space.
B. It first described time travel in a machine.
C. Readers felt it easier to read and understand.
D. It was the first fiction book in the world.
30. Which of the following statements is true about The Time Machine?
A. It was Wells’ most famous work. B. It first appeared as a book.
C. Wells was very satisfied with it. D. Its success helped to support Wells’ family.
31. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Wells’ life experiences and his works.
B. To describe the plot of The Time Machine.
C. To convince readers that Wells was a good writer.
D. To illustrate the great and famous works of Wells.
D
Ants live in complex colonies (群落), sometimes referred to as nests, which are home to a wide range of social interactions. Ants need to defend their colony, seek food and take care of little ones. Successfully performing all these complex tasks requires reliable communication among nestmates. A new study conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University shows how their societies depend on the exchange of reliable information.
Human communication relies primarily on verbal and visual clues. We usually identify our friends by the sound of their voice, the appearance of their face or the clothes they wear. Ants, however, rely primarily on their sharp sense of smell.
For ants and social insects like them, receiving chemical information begins when a smell enters the small hairs located along their antennae (触角). These hairs contain special receptors, called chemosensory neurons (感化性神经元), which sort and send the chemical information to the ant’s brain. Smells act like chemical “keys“. Ants can smell these “keys” only if they’re placed into the correct set of chemosensory neuron “locks”. A neuronal lock remains shut to any smells except its particular key. The ant’s brain can obtain this sensory information to make decisions that ultimately lead to cooperation between nestmates or battles between non-nestmates.
Then the researchers used precisely targeted drugs and genetic (遗传的) engineering to mess with their sense of smell. They were interested in what would happen when an ant’s sense of smell went wrong.
When the researchers messed with ants’ sense of smell — whether when shutting down or flooding their smell receptors — they found the ants no longer attacked non-nestmates. In the absence of clear information, they exercised self-control and chose to accept rather than attack these ants. When ants eventually lost their sense of smell, and their ability to detect accurate information became weak, they no longer stuck together in a united colony. And this would spell doom for their colony. Ant societies collapse and the colony quickly dies.
32. What may be a guarantee of the nestmates’ bond?
A. A special structure of the ant society.
B. The effective job arrangement.
C. A smell recognition system.
D. The necessary verbal and visual clues.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How ants differ from other social insects.
B. How ants fight battles against their enemies.
C. How ants’ brains react to chemical information.
D. How smells help ants recognize information.
34. Why did the researchers mess with the ants’ sense of smell?
A. To test if the operation would affect the ants’ brains.
B. To see if ants have other means of communication.
C. To find the factors that affect ants’ ability to detect information.
D. To know the effects of poor sense of smell on ants and their colony.
35 What does the underlined phrase “spell doom for” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Provide evidence for. B. Promote the expansion of.
C. Mean disaster for. D. Bring a turning point in.

The first day she was in my class, we talked about how she felt about school. Mia had had very negative experiences in school, which colored her outlook on almost everything else in her life. When I inquired about her interests, I made progress. Sometimes our conversation went well. Sometimes it drove me mad. But I refused to give up on her — or myself.
While living on my own, I would eat at K&W Cafeteria at least twice a week. There I made a conversation with Ms White, who served the side dishes and called me “Sugar”. She asked about my day as she dished out my mashed potatoes. One frustrating day, I told her about Mia — the Mia who did not value school, who disrupted (扰乱) my classroom, and who hated everything and everybody. Ms White, a wise woman, advised me to bring Mia in to see her during the dinner rush.
The next evening when we arrived at K&W, Ms White looked at Mia and said, “Help you?”
Mia ordered the meal.
Ms White said, “I heard about you. I heard a lot about you. Do you want to be me one day?”
Mia was shocked. “Uh, no.”
“Then you need to start doing what you’re supposed to do in school because people like me never had that chance. So don’t waste it.”
Then she served up Mia’s favorite green beans and mashed potatoes, and I gave Ms White a secret wink (眨眼). It was the first time that I had ever seen Mia speechless.
The experience at K&W Cafeteria marked a turning point in her life.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
As weeks passed, Mia’s progress became evident in the classroom.

【答案】17. A 18. C 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: We are now just one week away from December 25th and you are probably about to express your Merry Christmas wishes to everyone in your life, including family and friends. After all, in a country where Happy Easter and Happy birthday are common, that merry part of merry Christmas is pretty unique. It’s important to note that Happy Christmas hasn’t disappeared completely. It’s still widely used in England. This is because happy takes on a higher class meaning than merry. But Merry Christmas has been used since at least 1534. The English song We Wish You A Merry Christmas, which was introduced in the 1,500 also uses the popular phrase. As both words developed and changed meanings over time, people slowly stopped using merry as its own individual word during the 18th and 19th centuries. It stuck around in common phrases like the more, the merrier, as well as in things like Christmas songs and stories. Largely due to the influence of Charles Dickens, the Victorian Christmas went on to define many of today’s Christmas traditions. Now let’s learn about some Christmas traditions through videos.

The wandering Earth Ⅱ, a science-fiction movie, has aroused hot debate among galaxy scientists and science-fiction writers, both in China and overseas. Among them, John Gribbin, a UK-based science writer, speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that’s what makes science fiction prosper.
“It is very important in this technological age for people to understand the fundamentals of science, and then popular science writing can inform them of the world around them,” he says. “This is a bit like music. Even if you are not a great musician, if you know a little bit, you gain a deeper appreciation of great music.” Zhou Binghong, a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, holds a similar view. “The more scientific knowledge one gains, the more questions he or she will have about how the world runs. This leaves them wanting to know more, especially youngsters.”
Both episodes of The Wandering Earth include quite a few imagined technologies that need basic scientific knowledge to understand. In the latest one, for example, what aroused most fierce discussions among the public is a “space elevator” that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket. On various platforms, there are discussions about whether such an elevator is possible. If it is, what materials would be used?
For Zhou, such discussions themselves mean the public has a taste for science. He says, “Interest marks the first step toward creativity. Who knows who will emerge as an engineer for such an elevator in 50 years’ time?”
Impressed by the progress of science-related industries in China, Gribbin says that, “It is going from strength to strength,” and that, “China is one of the leading countries for scientific research and technological development, and the Chinese people are naturally interested in these developments.”
24. What leads to the popularity of science fiction according to Paragraph 1?
A. The charm of science. B. The attraction of literature.
C. The popularity of the film. D. The development of science education.
25. Why does the author mention the music in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress music is necessary in science.
B. To tell why music appreciation is important.
C. To show the relationship between music and science.
D. To indicate the importance of learning scientific knowledge.
26. Which is the function of “space elevator” in The Wandering Earth?
A. It helps control the rocket. B. It sends astronauts into space.
C. It enables astronauts to walk in space. D. It maintains astronauts’ safety in space.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?
A. Putting Science into Fiction B. Fictions Gaining Popularity
C. Science Planting Seeds of Hope D. A Leading Country for Scientific Research
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕科学知识的普及对于科幻小说所产生的影响进行了阐释。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Among them, John Gribbin, a UK-based science writer, speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that’s what makes science fiction prosper.(其中,英国科学作家约翰·格里宾高度评价了中国不断发展的科学教育,并表示这是科幻小说繁荣的原因)”可知,科学教育的发展是科幻小说受欢迎的原因。故选D。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段““It is very important in this technological age for people to understand the fundamentals of science, and then popular science writing can inform them of the world around them,” he says. “This is a bit like music. Even if you are not a great musician, if you know a little bit, you gain a deeper appreciation of great music.” Zhou Binghong, a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, holds a similar view.(“在这个科技时代,人们了解科学的基本原理是非常重要的,科学写作可以告诉他们周围的世界的信息,”他说。“这有点像音乐。即使你不是一个伟大的音乐家,如果你知道一点点,你就会对伟大的音乐有更深的欣赏。”中国空间技术研究院研究员周炳红也持类似观点)”可推知,提到音乐是为了说明学习科学知识的重要性。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据第三段“ In the latest one, for example, what aroused most fierce discussions among the public is a “space elevator” that enables astronauts to complete their trips to space by taking an elevator instead of a rocket.(例如,在最近的一次中,引起公众最激烈讨论的是“太空电梯”,它使宇航员能够乘坐电梯而不是火箭完成他们的太空之旅)”可知,太空电梯的功能是送宇航员去太空。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是第一段的“ Among them, John Gribbin, a UK-based science writer, speaks highly of rising science education in China and says that’s what makes science fiction prosper.(其中,英国科学作家约翰·格里宾高度评价了中国不断发展的科学教育,并表示这是科幻小说繁荣的原因)”可知,本文的主要观点是科学知识的普及导致科幻小说更加受欢迎。由此可知,A项“把科学融入小说”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
C
Herbert George Wells was born in England in 1866. He did not come from a rich family. His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen. He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist’s. He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college. After he left there he became a teacher, but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue. He then worked in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups. None of this made him much money.
The Time Machine was his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy with the finished book, it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer.
It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time. It is the first real science fiction book. It introduces the reader to the idea of time as the fourth dimension, with the three dimensions of space ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking. Wells also describes a simple mechanical answer to the problem of time travel—a time machine. Nobody had ever described time travel in a machine before, and the words ‘time machine’ entered the English language.
After the great success of this book, Wells wrote more science fiction. His most famous books are The Island of Dr Moreaui (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and The First Man in the Moon (1901). All of them have been filmed, some more than once. H. G. Wells died in London in 1946.
28. Why did Wells begin to write for newspapers in London?
A. He wanted to make more money. B. He was never happy with his former job.
C. He was seriously injured in sport. D. His second wife asked him to do so.
29. How different was The Time Machine from other books of the time?
A. It introduced the idea of four dimensions of space.
B. It first described time travel in a machine.
C. Readers felt it easier to read and understand.
D. It was the first fiction book in the world.
30. Which of the following statements is true about The Time Machine?
A. It was Wells’ most famous work. B. It first appeared as a book.
C. Wells was very satisfied with it. D. Its success helped to support Wells’ family.
31. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Wells’ life experiences and his works.
B. To describe the plot of The Time Machine.
C. To convince readers that Wells was a good writer.
D. To illustrate the great and famous works of Wells.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了著名作家Herbert George Wells,包括其作品、生平等。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“After he left there he became a teacher, but he was badly hurt while playing football and this meant that he could not continue. He then worked in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups.(离开那里后,他成为了一名教师,但他在踢足球时受了重伤,这意味着他不能继续下去了。然后他在伦敦工作,为报纸撰稿,并做一些小型教学工作)”可知,他之所以开始为报纸撰稿是因为他在运动中受伤,所以只能放弃教师这份工作。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It is not easy for us to understand how different this book was from others of the time. It is the first real science fiction book. It introduces the reader to the idea of time as the fourth dimension, with the three dimensions of space ten years before Einstein made it part of scientific thinking.(我们很难理解这本书与当时的其他书有多大的不同。这是第一本真正意义上的科幻小说。它向读者介绍了时间是第四维的概念,而空间是三维的,这比爱因斯坦把它作为科学思想的一部分早了十年)”可知,这本书的独特之处在于这本书率先介绍了思维空间这个概念。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Time Machine was his first fictional work. It appeared in weekly parts in a magazine in 1894 and as a book the following year. At the time, Wells was married to his second wife and was trying to support both her and her mother. He needed to make money, so he wrote it quite quickly. Although he was never really happy with the finished book, it was a great success and allowed him to continue as a writer.(《时间机器》是他的第一部虚构作品。它于1894年出现在一本杂志的每周专栏中,次年以书的形式出版。当时,Wells与第二任妻子结婚,并试图养活她和她的母亲。他需要赚钱,所以他写得很快。虽然他对完成的书从来没有真正满意过,但这是一个巨大的成功,让他继续作为一个作家)”可知,《时间机器》虽然未能让作者满意,却使他赚了钱,养活了家人。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Herbert George Wells was born in England in 1866. He did not come from a rich family. His parents had a small shop but it was not successful and closed when he was thirteen. He worked at different times in a clothes shop and a chemist’s. He always read a lot and later managed to get a place at a science college.

He then worked in London, writing for newspapers and doing some teaching of small groups. None of this made him much money.( Herbert George Wells 1866年出生于英国。他并非来自一个富裕的家庭。他的父母开了一家小店,但并不成功,在他十三岁时就关门了。他先后在一家服装店和一家药店工作过。他总是读很多书,后来设法在一所科学学院获得了一席之地。离开那里后,他成为了一名教师,但他在踢足球时受了重伤,这意味着他不能继续下去了。然后他在伦敦工作,为报纸撰稿,并做一些小组教学工作。这些都没给他带来多少钱)”、第二段“The Time Machine was his first fictional work.(《时间机器》是他的第一部虚构作品)”以及最后一段“After the great success of this book, Wells wrote more science fiction.(在这本书取得巨大成功之后,Wells写了更多的科幻小说)”可推知,文章的目的是介绍Wells的人生经历以及作品。故选A。
D
Ants live in complex colonies (群落), sometimes referred to as nests, which are home to a wide range of social interactions. Ants need to defend their colony, seek food and take care of little ones. Successfully performing all these complex tasks requires reliable communication among nestmates. A new study conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University shows how their societies depend on the exchange of reliable information.
Human communication relies primarily on verbal and visual clues. We usually identify our friends by the sound of their voice, the appearance of their face or the clothes they wear. Ants, however, rely primarily on their sharp sense of smell.
For ants and social insects like them, receiving chemical information begins when a smell enters the small hairs located along their antennae (触角). These hairs contain special receptors, called chemosensory neurons (感化性神经元), which sort and send the chemical information to the ant’s brain. Smells act like chemical “keys“. Ants can smell these “keys” only if they’re placed into the correct set of chemosensory neuron “locks”. A neuronal lock remains shut to any smells except its particular key. The ant’s brain can obtain this sensory information to make decisions that ultimately lead to cooperation between nestmates or battles between non-nestmates.
Then the researchers used precisely targeted drugs and genetic (遗传的) engineering to mess with their sense of smell. They were interested in what would happen when an ant’s sense of smell went wrong.
When the researchers messed with ants’ sense of smell — whether when shutting down or flooding their smell receptors — they found the ants no longer attacked non-nestmates. In the absence of clear information, they exercised self-control and chose to accept rather than attack these ants. When ants eventually lost their sense of smell, and their ability to detect accurate information became weak, they no longer stuck together in a united colony. And this would spell doom for their colony. Ant societies collapse and the colony quickly dies.
32. What may be a guarantee of the nestmates’ bond?
A. A special structure of the ant society.
B. The effective job arrangement.
C. A smell recognition system.
D. The necessary verbal and visual clues.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How ants differ from other social insects.
B. How ants fight battles against their enemies.
C. How ants’ brains react to chemical information.
D. How smells help ants recognize information.
34. Why did the researchers mess with the ants’ sense of smell?
A. To test if the operation would affect the ants’ brains.
B. To see if ants have other means of communication.
C. To find the factors that affect ants’ ability to detect information.
D. To know the effects of poor sense of smell on ants and their colony.
35. What does the underlined phrase “spell doom for” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Provide evidence for. B. Promote the expansion of.
C. Mean disaster for. D. Bring a turning point in.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了蚂蚁如何通过嗅觉进行信息交流以维持社会运作。蚂蚁依赖其敏锐的嗅觉来识别同伴、敌人和进行其他社会互动,当蚂蚁的嗅觉受到干扰时,它们的社会行为会受到影响,甚至导致蚁群崩溃。
32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Ants need to defend their colony, seek food and take care of little ones. Successfully performing all these complex tasks requires reliable communication among nestmates.(蚂蚁需要保卫蚁群,寻找食物,照顾小蚁。成功地完成所有这些复杂的任务需要筑巢同伴之间可靠的沟通)”可知,蚂蚁成功完成这些复杂任务需要巢友之间可靠的沟通。再根据第二段“Ants, however, rely primarily on their sharp sense of smell.(然而,蚂蚁主要依靠它们敏锐的嗅觉)”可知,蚂蚁主要依靠敏锐的嗅觉进行交流。因此,蚂蚁同伴之间的联系很大程度上依赖于它们的嗅觉识别系统。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据第三段中“For ants and social insects like them, receiving chemical information begins when a smell enters the small hairs located along their antennae.(对于蚂蚁和像它们这样的群居昆虫来说,当气味进入它们触角上的小毛发时,它们就开始接收化学信息)”可知,此处指出了接收化学信息的过程。同时根据本段中“These hairs contain special receptors, called chemosensory neurons (感化性神经元),which sort and send the chemical information to the ant’s brain. Smells act like chemical “keys“. Ants can smell these “keys” only if they’re placed into the correct set of chemosensory neuron “locks”. A neuronal lock remains shut to any smells except its particular key. The ant’s brain can obtain this sensory information to make decisions that ultimately lead to cooperation between nestmates or battles between non-nestmates.(这些毛发包含特殊的感受器,称为化学感觉神经元(感化性神经元),它们对化学信息进行分类并将其传递到蚂蚁的大脑。气味充当化学“钥匙”。蚂蚁只有当这些“钥匙”被放入正确的化学感觉神经元“锁”中时,才能闻到它们。一个神经元锁除了其特定的钥匙外,对任何气味都保持关闭状态。蚂蚁的大脑可以获得这些感觉信息,从而做出决定,最终导致同伴之间的合作或非同伴之间的战斗)”可知,此处详细描述了气味如何通过触角上的毛发、化学感受神经元传递到大脑,以及“气味”如何像“钥匙”一样被特定的“锁”(神经元)识别。最后一句总结说明大脑如何利用这些信息做出决策。因此,本段主要讲述了气味如何帮助蚂蚁识别信息。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They were interested in what would happen when an ant’s sense of smell went wrong.(他们感兴趣的是,当蚂蚁的嗅觉出现问题时会发生什么)”以及最后一段中“In the absence of clear information, they exercised self-control and chose to accept rather than attack these ants. (在缺乏明确信息的情况下,他们进行了自我控制,选择接受而不是攻击这些蚂蚁)”对实验结果的描述可知,研究人员干扰蚂蚁嗅觉的目的是为了了解嗅觉不良对单个蚂蚁及其群体的影响。故选D。
【35题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“When ants eventually lost their sense of smell, and their ability to detect accurate information became weak, they no longer stuck together in a united colony. (当蚂蚁最终失去嗅觉,它们检测准确信息的能力变弱时,它们就不再团结在一个统一的群体中)”以及“Ant societies collapse and the colony quickly dies.(蚁群崩溃,蚁群迅速死亡)”可知,如果蚂蚁的嗅觉失灵了,无法准确识别信息,蚂蚁群体就会崩溃,很快就会死亡 。因此划线短语“spell doom for”在此处的意思是“意味着灾难”。C选项“Mean disaster for.(意味着灾难)”符合题意。故选C。

【答案】36. E 37. F 38. B 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家中不同顺序出生的孩子所具有的一些特点。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Within your family, are you the “boss”, the “peacemaker”, the “baby” or the “king”?(在你的家庭里,你是“老板”、“和事佬”、“宝宝”还是“国王”?)”可知,上文主要说明了人们家里的不同角色,结合后文对出生顺序对性格的影响进行了说明,故E选项“许多研究人员认为你在家庭中的地位会影响你的性格”符合语境,故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“First-time parents often have very high expectations for their eldest children.(初为父母的人通常对他们的长子抱有很高的期望)”以及后文“Firstborns tend to be natural leaders who respect and trust authority. Many astronauts and engineers are firstborn children.(长子长女往往是天生的领导者,他们尊重和信任权威。许多宇航员和工程师都是第一个孩子)”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出长子所具有的一些特点,故F选项“因此,这些孩子往往是负责任的、有条理的、专横的、成功的成功者”符合语境,故选F。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Typically, parents don’t give middle children as much attention as the firstborn or the youngest.(通常情况下,父母不会像第一个或最小的孩子那样给予中间的孩子太多的关注)”可知,中间出生的孩子不会得到太多父母的关注,所以本句说明结果:让他们觉得自己被忽视了。B选项中them指的是上文middle children,故B选项“这通常会让他们觉得自己被忽视了”符合语境,故选B。
【39题详解】
根据上文“By the time the youngest family member is born, most parents have loosened their rules.(当最小的家庭成员出生时,大多数父母已经放松了他们的规则)”可知,上文提到父母放松了对最小一个孩子的规则,即他们拥有更多的自由,故A选项“因此,他们往往有更多的自由”符合语境,故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Life in the family of an only child often revolves around him or her.(独生子女家庭的生活常常以他或她为中心)”以及后文“An only child enjoys learning from adults and is usually very clever for his or her age. Only children are creative and intelligent and can easily communicate with adults. They are typically confident, independent and very successful. What about you? Does the birth order description match your personality?(独生子女喜欢向大人学习,通常在他或她的年龄来说非常聪明。独生子女很有创造力,很聪明,很容易和大人交流。他们通常自信、独立、非常成功。你呢?出生顺序描述符合你的性格吗?)”可知,上文提到独生子女是家庭的中心,本句承接上文说明结果:这些孩子不需要分享他们的玩具或父母的时间。故D选项“这些孩子不需要分享他们的玩具或父母的时间”符合语境,故选D。

The Robots Are Coming!
All the efforts you put into studying at university may not be enough — because robots could be coining for your job. A new study finds that as ____56____ as 800 million workers could be replaced by robots by 2030.
It ____57____ (estimate) that “between 400 million and 800 million individuals could be replaced by automation (自动化) or robots and need ____58____ (find) new jobs by 2030 around the world”, and that 30 percent of the hours people spend ____59____ (work) globally could be automated by that time.
Those most ____60____ (affect) will be people who work in “predictable environments” doing tasks such as operating machines and preparing fast food. Those who make a living by collecting and processing data also face a high risk of ____61____ (replace). But people who work in less “predictable environments” such as gardeners, plumbers, and childcare staff face a ____62____ (small) risk, because their roles “are technically difficult to be automated and often command ____63____ (relative) lower wages, which makes automation a less attractive business proposition”.
However, it’s not all doom (厄运) for the future of employment. The study notes that automation sometimes allows workers to remain ____64____ (employ) in a different position. Even when some tasks are automated, the employment rate in those ____65____ (occupy) may not decline because workers may perform new tasks.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。分析了在未来的机器时代可能被取代的工种以及机器时代可能会带来的新的岗位。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:一项新的研究发现,到2030年,多达8亿工人将被机器人取代。因空后“workers”为可数名词复数形式,故空处应为短语as many as“多达”来修饰。故填many。
【57题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:据估计,“到2030年,全球有4亿到8亿人可能被自动化或机器人取代,需要找到新的工作”,到那时,全球30%的工作时间可能会被自动化取代。It是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句,和谓语动词estimate之间是被动关系,且句子是描述一个事实,故用一般现在时的被动语态,it is estimated that... “据估计……”。故填is estimated。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据估计,“到2030年,全球有4亿到8亿人可能被自动化或机器人取代,需要找到新的工作”,到那时,全球30%的工作时间可能会被自动化取代。need在句中用作实义动词, need to do sth需要做某事,其中不定式为宾语。故填to find。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据估计,“到2030年,全球有4亿到8亿人可能被自动化或机器人取代,需要找到新的工作”,到那时,全球30%的工作时间可能会被自动化取代。分析句子成分可知,应为固定搭配spend some time doing sth“花费时间做某事”。故填working。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:受影响最大的将是那些在“可预测的环境”中工作的人,比如做操作机器和准备快餐的任务。本句谓语动词为“will be”,所以空处应为非谓语动词。“Those”为主语,且和提示词之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填affected。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:那些以收集和处理数据为生的人也面临着被取代的高风险。空前为介词“of”,故空处应为动名词形式作宾语,又因提示词和主语“Those”之间为被动关系,故用动名词的被动形式being done。故填being replaced。
【62题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意:但在“不太可预测的环境”中工作的人,如园丁、水管工和托儿所员工,面临的风险较小,因为他们的角色“在技术上难以实现自动化,而且往往要求相对较低的工资,这使得自动化成为一个不那么有吸引力的商业主张”。根据本句“in less “predictable environments””可知,在不太可预测的环境中工作的人面临失业的风险较小,此处应用形容词的比较级形式。故填smaller。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:但在“不太可预测的环境”中工作的人,如园丁、水管工和托儿所员工,面临的风险较小,因为他们的角色“在技术上难以实现自动化,而且往往要求相对较低的工资,这使得自动化成为一个不那么有吸引力的商业主张”。应用副词relatively修饰形容词“lower”。故填relatively。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该研究指出,自动化有时可以让工人在不同的岗位上继续工作。空前“remain”为系动词,且提示词和“workers”之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词形式作表语。故填employed。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:即使有些任务是自动化的,这些职业的就业率可能不会下降,因为工人可能会执行新的任务。空处应填名词形式作介词in的宾语,occupation职业,可数名词,指示代词“those”后应跟可数名词复数形式。故填occupations。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
As a new teacher, I faced a lot of challenges, but one student, a10-year-old girl named Mia, caught my attention. With her head down, chin (下巴) against her chest, and fists (拳头) balled up, she was ready to take on (较量、对抗) any and all comers. She was nicknamed the “little tornado”.
The first day she was in my class, we talked about how she felt about school. Mia had had very negative experiences in school, which colored her outlook on almost everything else in her life. When I inquired about her interests, I made progress. Sometimes our conversation went well. Sometimes it drove me mad. But I refused to give up on her — or myself.
While living on my own, I would eat at K&W Cafeteria at least twice a week. There I made a conversation with Ms White, who served the side dishes and called me “Sugar”. She asked about my day as she dished out my mashed potatoes. One frustrating day, I told her about Mia — the Mia who did not value school, who disrupted (扰乱) my classroom, and who hated everything and everybody. Ms White, a wise woman, advised me to bring Mia in to see her during the dinner rush.
The next evening when we arrived at K&W, Ms White looked at Mia and said, “Help you?”
Mia ordered the meal.
Ms White said, “I heard about you. I heard a lot about you. Do you want to be me one day?”
Mia was shocked. “Uh, no.”
“Then you need to start doing what you’re supposed to do in school because people like me never had that chance. So don’t waste it.”
Then she served up Mia’s favorite green beans and mashed potatoes, and I gave Ms White a secret wink (眨眼). It was the first time that I had ever seen Mia speechless.
The experience at K&W Cafeteria marked a turning point in her life.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
As weeks passed, Mia’s progress became evident in the classroom.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After fourteen years of being a teacher; I encountered a familiar face at a teacher training session.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As weeks passed, Mia’s progress became evident in the classroom. She started participating in activities, expressing her thoughts, and even helping classmates. The once “little tornado” was now a positive and motivated learner. At the end of the school year, Mia easily passed all the exams. Ms White and I were both pleased to witness her growth. That was when the big change occurred. Mia’s family moved away and I lost touch with her.
After fourteen years of being a teacher; I encountered a familiar face at a teacher training session. As she walked towards me with a warm smile, I noticed the same spark in her eyes that had once hinted at her playful nature. It was Mia, now a teacher herself. She thanked me for never giving up on her and told me she wanted to be a good teacher like me. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of fulfillment. Mia’s story was a heartwarming reminder of the lasting impact teachers can have on their students.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Mia在学校表现不佳,作者在自助餐厅与White女士交谈后,White女士建议让Mia来见她,一番对话后Mia深受触动,这成为她人生的转折点。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“几周过去了,Mia的进步在课堂上变得显而易见。”可知,第一段可以描写Mia在课堂上的具体进步表现,如参与活动、表达想法、帮助同学等细节,以及她从“小捣蛋”到积极学习者的转变过程,接着写学年结束时她顺利通过考试,作者和White女士的欣慰之情,最后写Mia搬家后作者与她失去联系。
②由第二段句首内容“当了14年的老师;在一次教师培训中,我遇到了一张熟悉的面孔。”可知,第二段可以描写十四年后作者在教师培训会上偶遇Mia的情景,详细刻画Mia如今的样子,她对作者的感谢话语以及她想成为像 作者 一样的好老师的心愿,最后由Mia的故事升华主旨,强调教师对学生的深远影响。
2.续写线索:Mia在课堂取得进步——成为积极的学习者并通过考试——Mia搬家失去联系——十四年后作者偶遇成为教师的Mia——Mia致谢并表达想成为好老师的愿望——点明教师对学生影响深远的主旨
3.词汇激活
行为类
①参与:participate in/take part in
②表达她的想法:express her thoughts/voice her opinions/share her ideas
③帮助:help/assist
情绪类
①高兴:pleased/delighted/glad
②满足:fulfillment/contentment/satisfaction
【点睛】【高分句型1】That was when the big change occurred.As she walked towards me with a warm smile, I noticed the same spark in her eyes that had once hinted at her playful nature. (运用了As引导的时间状语从句、that引导的定语从句)
【高分句型2】She thanked me for never giving up on her and told me she wanted to be a good teacher like me. (运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句)
