I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap,when the roof just flew off. I was so frightened that I just froze. Mom cried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into a river in seconds. We were going nowhere. At first,I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. Without a roof,staying inside was too dangerous. We just had drinking water that was sent to us by helicopter, but it was never enough.It was August,so it was really,really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! 1 just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for Smartie.He had disappeared the moment the storm hit. Living in the open air,we became breakfast,lunch and dinner for the mosquitoes___4___But Mom said that whatever happens,we should always try to see the good side of things. It was difficult to stay positive,though.All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us,we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better.I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights,we could see the Big Dipper,and the Milky Way. It was amazing! Despite the disaster, moments like those gave us hope for the future. Although it was only a few days before we were rescued it felt like months. We were taken to another town in a faraway county. Thankfully, Smartie came home just in time.None of us knew that we wouldn’t be back for quite a while then. Now,one year has passed and I’m back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to return, but many others have come back.Although we are surrounded by reminders of the disaster. we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans,their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on. 4. When did this hurricane hit the author’s hometown? A. In September. B. In August. C. In July. D. In Summer. 5. What does the underlined sentence “we became breakfast, lunch and dinner for the mosquitoes”mean? A. We ate mosquitoes as our meals. B. There were too many mosquitoes. C. We were tired of those mosquitoes. D. We were bitten by mosquitoes constantly. 6. What can we learn about those families in that area? A.

The author himself. B. The author’s mum. C. Smartie. D. All the people stuck in the disaster 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一家人在经历了可怕的飓风后幸运得救，并在母亲的鼓励下团结一致共建家园的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It was August, so it was really,really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! （当时是八月，非常非常热，到处是难闻的气味。）”可知，飓风发生的时间是八月August。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由前三段内容可知，飓风吹走了我们的房顶，那时正是八月，天气很热很热并且到处是难闻的气味，可推测晚上有很多蚊子。再根据此句“Living in the open air,we became breakfast,lunch and dinner for the mosquitoes.（住在露天的环境中，我们成了蚊子们的早餐、午餐和晚餐了。）”可推断出他们被蚊子咬，故D项“We were bitten by mosquitoes constantly.（我们不停地被蚊子咬。）”符合语境，故选D项。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Now,one year has passed and I’m back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to return, but many others have come back.Although we are surrounded by reminders of the disaster. we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives.（现在，一年过去了，我回到了新奥尔良的家中。一些家庭还没有回来，但许多人已经回来了。尽管我们周围充满了灾难的回忆，但我们正在共同努力重建我们的家园和生活。）”可知一些人还没有回到家乡。A项“Some families still didn’t return home.”符合题意，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But Mom said that whatever happens,we should always try to see the good side of things. It was difficult to stay positive,though.All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us,we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better.I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights,we could see the Big Dipper,and the Milky Way. It was amazing! Despite the disaster, moments like those gave us hope for the future.（但是妈妈说，无论发生什么事，我们都应该看到事情好一面。虽然我们只剩下身上的衣服了，但要保持积极是很难的。但正如妈妈不断提醒我们的，我们都在一起很安全。妈妈的话让我们感觉好多了。我记得躺在午夜的天空下仰望星空。因为没有灯光，我们可以看到北斗七星和银河系。这是惊人的！尽管发生了灾难，但这样的时刻给了我们对未来的希望。）”可知，如果没有妈妈对我们的安慰和鼓励就没有现在安全和乐观的我们。故选B项。 C When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School, they also received the Yondr pouch Youdr (口袋), a locking device for their phones. The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic (磁力的) device. It’s not unlocked again until the final bell rings. The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year. Adam Gelb, the vice-president, ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide, bell to bell program for this school year. The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces, something that is the very thought with Gelb. “I really think it’s about being present and engaging in the adult that’s trying to teach you, and your peers that might be in your small group. That’s part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread,” he said. Brad Friedman, another teacher at the school, said he was becoming concerned with overuse of phones at school. He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones, some not socializing at all with other students. This week, he’s already seeing the difference. “Everyone else was socializing and eating lunch together. That’s what I wasn’t seeing enough of when phone usage is at its worst,” he said. A senior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone. “I panicked, I guess. Last year when we had phones, I was using it every day,” he said. In case of emergency, every classroom has the unlocking device. Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and desk phones. “We’ve gotten all 1,700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes,” said Gelb. We spoke to four students who, despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits. 8. What can we learn about the Yondr pouch from paragraph 1? A. It is a device to lock phones. B. It is a bell to unlock phones. C. It is a device to be used for a year. D. It is a phone intended for students. 9. The Youdr pouch is used more in Gelb’s school to ______________________. A. create space to use phones freely B. help the students to be more outgoing C encourage more mutual communication among students D. help the students to realize the harm of overuse of phones 10. What is Friedman’s attitude to the use of the Yondr pouch ? A. Concerned. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. 11. What can be learned from the passage? A. The students were willing to have their phones locked at first. B. The phone will get unlocked automatically when there is an emergency C. Students prefer eating lunch together with their phones in hand. D. Some students came to realize the benefits of the phone-free program. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国加州的San Mateo High School（圣马特奥市中学）在新学期发放课本的同时也发给学生一个用来锁手机的袋子——the Yondr pouch，以此来限制学生在校过度使用手机，逐渐把学生的注意力从一块手机屏幕转移到更有意义的校园活动和社交上来。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“they also received the Yondr pouch, a locking device for their phones.”可知the Yondr pouch是一个用来锁手机的设备，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段引用副校长（这项创新举措的设计者之一）的原话“I really think it’s about being present and engaging in the adult that’s trying to teach you, and your peers that might be in your small group. That’s part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread”可知，在学校推广the Yondr pouch的目的是让学生不使用手机，专注于参与老师或小组的活动；第五段也提到，没有手机在手，学生们能相互交流，共进午餐，大家愿意参与校园社交了，情况发生了很大的变化，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。本题要求判断这位同学对校方这项做法的态度，根据第四、五段可知Brad Friedman看到了使用the Yondr pouch前后学生的变化——很多人从沉溺于手机到积极参与社交，校内氛围好了很多，由此推断出他是满意这种变化的，而四个选项中只有favorable（赞成的、赞许的）符合这种“褒”的态度，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“We spoke to four students who, despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits.”可推知有一部分学生从最初的恐慌、抵触逐渐转变，最终意识到“无手机校园”的好处，D项中came to realize the benefits很好地表达出了学生态度有前后变化，且内容契合原文，故选D。 D Europe’s series record-breaking hot and dry summers have broken an easy link to climate change. Climate models show Europe warms faster than the rest of the planet and the Arctic melting eventually causes massive ocean currents (洋流) and regional hot air circulation patterns. Arctic melting is adding roughly 6000 cubic kilometers of water or more to the ocean per decade. As that fresh-water pours into the North Atlantic Ocean, it sits on top of heavier ocean salt-water and stops mixing. With less heat being stirred in from below, the surface water gets colder than usual during the fall and winter months, says Marilena Oltmanns, a climate scientist at the U.K. National Oceanography Centre. This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”, an area of sea in the North Atlantic that NASA nodeling suggests is one of the few spots on Earth getting colder. To explore how the fresh water from Arctic ice might be affecting weather, Oltmanns and her colleagues developed a way to combine data from satellites, and weather stations. They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer. And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe. “The study convincingly puts meat on the bones of an expectation I and others have had for a while — that the cold blob south of Greenland would influence North Atlantic weather patterns, as well as those downstream over Europe,” says Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center. 12. What does the underlined word “cold blob” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Climate models. B. Ocean current. C. Cold water zone. D. Air circulation patterns. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Introduce the form of cold blob. B. Present a phenomenon of climate changes in Europe. C. Survey some data for the study. D. Analyze the reason of hot and dry summer in Europe. 14. What is Jennifer’s attitude toward the study? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What can we infer from the passage? A. Human activities change climate models. B. Arctic melting contributes to European heat waves. C. Climate changes have little impact on ocean currents. D. Global warming results in the rise of the temperature. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对欧洲连续炎热干燥夏季与气候变化之间关联的探讨，以及北极融化对海洋和天气模式的影响进行了解释和说明。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“an area of sea in the North Atlantic that NASA modeling suggests is one of the few spots on Earth getting colder.(美国宇航局模型显示北大西洋的一片海域是地球上为数不多的变冷的地方之一。)”可知，“This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”(这种现象或许可以解释所谓的cold blob)”中的cold blob指的是“冷水海域”。选项A“Climate models (气候模型)”；选项B“Ocean current (洋流)”；选项C“Cold water zone (冷水区)”；选项D“Air circulation patterns(空气循环模式)”。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“To explore how the fresh water from Arctic ice might be affecting weather, Oltmanns and her colleagues developed a way to combine data from satellites, and weather stations. They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer. And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe.(为了探索来自北极冰的淡水如何影响天气，oltmann和她的同事们开发了一种方法，将卫星和气象站的数据结合起来。他们发现，当淡水引起的冷团更强烈时，边界更尖锐，带来更强大的西风。结果，较强的西风带将温暖的洋流从北纬45度左右移动到北纬60度。这种转变可能会持续到明年夏天。这股暖流就像一道屏障一样，缠绕在不列颠群岛周围，让大量炎热干燥的空气在欧洲上空扎营。)”可知，第三段描述了北极冰融化产生的淡水如何可能影响欧洲的天气，特别是如何导致炎热干燥的夏天。它分析了北大西洋的“冷斑”现象，以及它如何与风和洋流相互作用，造成热干空气在欧洲上空滞留的条件。因此，该段的主要内容是分析欧洲炎热干燥夏季的原因。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The study convincingly puts meat on the bones of an expectation I and others have had for a while — that the cold blob south of Greenland would influence North Atlantic weather patterns, as well as those downstream over Europe,” says Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center.( Woodwell气候研究中心的气候科学家Jennifer Francis说：“这项研究令人信服地证实了我和其他人一段时间以来的预期——格陵兰岛以南的寒冷团将影响北大西洋的天气模式，以及欧洲下游的天气模式。”)”可知，Jennifer Francis认为这项研究为她和其他人长期以来的一个预期提供了有力的证据，即格陵兰岛南部的冷斑会影响北大西洋的天气模式以及下游的欧洲天气模式。因此，她对这项研究的态度是赞同的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Climate models show Europe warms faster than the rest of the planet and the Arctic melting eventually causes massive ocean currents (洋流) and regional hot air circulation patterns.(气候模型显示，欧洲变暖的速度比地球上其他地区都要快，北极融化最终会导致巨大的洋流和区域热空气循环模式。)”、第二段中“Arctic melting is adding roughly 6000 cubic kilometers of water or more to the ocean per decade. As that fresh-water pours into the North Atlantic Ocean, it sits on top of heavier ocean salt-water and stops mixing. With less heat being stirred in from below, the surface water gets colder than usual during the fall and winter months, says Marilena Oltmanns, a climate scientist at the U.K. National Oceanography Centre. This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”(北极融化每十年向海洋中增加大约6000立方公里或更多的水。当淡水涌入北大西洋时，它会停留在较重的海洋盐水之上，停止混合。英国国家海洋学中心的气候科学家Marilena oltmann说，由于从海底进入的热量减少，在秋季和冬季，地表水比平时更冷。这一现象或许可以解释所谓的‘冷水区块’)”以及第三段中“They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer. And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe.(他们发现，当淡水引起的冷团更强烈时，边界更尖锐，带来更强大的西风。结果，较强的西风带将温暖的洋流从北纬45度左右移动到北纬60度。这种转变可能会持续到明年夏天。这股暖流就像一道屏障一样，缠绕在不列颠群岛周围，让大量炎热干燥的空气在欧洲上空扎营。)”可知，北极融化的淡水涌入大西洋会引起“冷水区块”现象，当“冷水区块”更强烈、边界更尖锐时，带来更强大的西风带，把温暖的洋流移动到北纬60度，让大量的炎热干燥空气停留在欧洲上空；由此可知，北极融化加剧了欧洲的热浪。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your Path to Emotional Maturity Emotions play a critical part in life. In order to grow and be better than before, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you become emotionally mature! Try using “I” statements Whenever you feel hurt, you need to tell others your feelings in a considerate way. The best way to do this is by using “I” statements instead of “You” statements. For example, you should use the statement: “I feel miserable and heartbroken” instead of “You make me feel miserable and heartbroken”. ____16____ Own your feelings If you want to change yourself, start with taking ownership of your feelings. However, in some situations, instead of owning your feelings, you tend to deflect (转移) them and make others feel guilty about how you are feeling. ____17____ Embrace them as a part of yourself because they are a part of you, right? ____18____ People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes; this happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it; this can be extremely annoying. Just as you aren’t a mind reader, others aren’t either. You need to share your needs with the other person, and they need to do the same with you. Mind your actions and words Often, you say a lot when you are emotional, especially when you are angry. ____19____ You need to mind whatever you say and do; this can either make the other person love or hate you. The strategy in a stressful situation is to focus on yourself instead of focusing on others; this will calm you down instantly. Always question your thoughts Actions and words have the same importance; this is what I need you to understand. In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong. ____20____ What happens in more than 70% of situations is that you let negative thoughts take hold of you; this is completely wrong. A. Attempt to be mind readers. B. Communicate your needs. C. You’d better not let negative thoughts question your judgment. D. Thus, rather than dump them on others, learn to take charge of your feelings. E. The approach is non-aggressive and describes you as emotionally mature. F. If not controlled, it can have severe consequences, especially in your relationship. G. Let’s say that you get into a fight with your partner, and you also get hurt. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了如何更好地管理自己的情绪，通过提高情绪智力来实现情感成熟的一些策略。 【16题详解】 上文“For example, you should use the statement: “I feel miserable and heartbroken” instead of “You make me feel miserable and heartbroken”. (例如，你应该使用这样的陈述：‘我感到痛苦和心碎’，而不是‘你让我感到痛苦和心碎’。)”举例说明如何使用I来表达情感，E项“这种方法不具攻击性，而且能说明你在情感上很成熟。”强调了例子中做法的好处和效果；选项中的“this approach”指代例子，“non-aggressive”和 “emotionally mature” 陈述了使用“I”陈述的沟通方式是一种非攻击性的方法，并且能够展示出说话者在情感上的成熟度。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“However, in some situations, instead of owning your feelings, you tend to deflect (转移) them and make others feel guilty about how you are feeling. (然而，在某些情况下，你不是承认自己的感受，而是倾向于将它们转移，并让他人对你的感觉感到内疚。)”阐述了人们错误的做法是将感受转移到他人身上，可推断下文应该阐述正确的做法。 D项“因此，与其把它们扔给别人，不如学着控制自己的情绪。”指出了正确的做法，与上文构成因果关系；选项中的“dump them on others”呼应上文“you tend to deflect (转移) them and make others feel guilty about how you are feeling, learn to take charge of your feelings”，同时，下文中“them”指代D选项中的your feelings，并进一步强调情感属于自己一部分，和他人无关，前后呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 空处为小标题，应该首先要和其他段落标题结构相似，运用简单的祈使句；由下文“People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes; this happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it; this can be extremely annoying. Just as you aren’t a mind reader, others aren’t either. You need to share your needs with the other person, and they need to do the same with you.(有时人们与我们的互动就像我们能读心术一样；这主要发生在人际关系中。你的伴侣希望你确切地知道他们想要什么，什么时候想要；这是非常恼人的。就像你不会读心术一样，其他人也不会。你需要与他人分享你的需求，他们也需要与你分享。)”可知，本段主要阐述要与他人沟通自己的需求，强调交流的重要性；B选项“Communicate your needs.”（沟通你的需求）能够概括本段主旨。故选B。 【19题详解】 上文“Often, you say a lot when you are emotional, especially when you are angry. (通常，当你情绪激动时，尤其是当你生气时，你会说很多话。)”说明了人情绪激动时候会不在意自己言语， F选项“If not controlled, it can have severe consequences, especially in your relationship.（如果不控制，它将有严重的后果，尤其在人际关系上）”承接上文，阐述情绪激动时，尤其是当你生气时，你会说很多话如果不控制会带来的后果。下文“You need to mind whatever you say and do.（你需要在意自己的所说所做）”告诉读者正确的做法，F项承上启下，故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong.（在某些情况下，你所爱的人可能会通过言语或行为伤害到你，而你也可能犯错。）”说明与爱的人之间通过言语和行为互相伤害的情况会发生。C选项“You’d better not let negative thoughts question your judgment.”（你最好不要让消极的想法质疑你的判断。）阐述在伤害发生的时候，不能让消极情感质疑你的判断力，承接上文，也与本段标题相呼应。同时，C项中“negative thoughts”与下文“What happens in more than 70% of situations is that you let negative thoughts take hold of you; this is completely wrong.（在超过70%的情况下，你会让消极思想占据主导地位；这是完全错误的。）”中的“negative thoughts”为同词复现；C选项承接上文，呼应下文，符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was a boy, we lived right next to a forest.

I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning something had changed. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad. The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在作者成为高中生前的几个月，父母送作者手机作为礼物，作者沉迷于其中。父亲计划家庭露营时作者很失望，因营地无手机信号。露营首日作者情绪失控，但次日早晨心态有所转变。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我没有把自己埋在手机里，而是专注于其他事情：我的周围环境。”可知，第一段可以描写周围吸引着作者的环境和作者的心态变化。 ②由第二段句首内容“接下来的四天过得很快，有许多有趣的活动。”可知，第二段可以描写作者所进行的 活动。 2. 续写线索：专注于周围环境——没那么糟糕——有趣的活动——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①让：let/have ②创造：create/produce ③想，认为：think/consider 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time.

I was sitting in my room with my cat, Smartie, on my lap,when the roof just flew off. I was so frightened that I just froze. Mom cried to get out quickly, but it was already too late by then. The rain was coming down so hard and so fast. Our street turned into a river in seconds. We were going nowhere. At first,I was pleased we could stay at home, but soon it got really tough. Without a roof,staying inside was too dangerous. We just had drinking water that was sent to us by helicopter, but it was never enough.It was August,so it was really,really hot and it smelled so bad everywhere! 1 just spent the days watching the boats going up and down the street and looking out for Smartie.He had disappeared the moment the storm hit.

It was difficult to stay positive,though.All we had left were the clothes on our backs. But as Mom kept on reminding us,we were all together and safe. Mom’s words made us feel better.I remember us all lying under the midnight sky and looking up at the stars. Because there were no lights,we could see the Big Dipper,and the Milky Way. It was amazing! Despite the disaster, moments like those gave us hope for the future. Although it was only a few days before we were rescued, it felt like months. We were taken to another town in a faraway county. Thankfully, Smartie came home just in time.None of us knew that we wouldn’t be back for quite a while then. Now,one year has passed and I’m back home in New Orleans. Some families have yet to return, but many others have come back.Although we are surrounded by reminders of the disaster. we are working together to rebuild our homes and our lives. Now we have another chance to look up at the stars of New Orleans,their beauty inspiring us and giving us confidence to move on. 4. When did this hurricane hit the author’s hometown? A. In September.

The author himself. B. The author’s mum. C. Smartie. D. All the people stuck in the disaster C When students got their textbooks at the beginning of the year at San Mateo High School, they also received the Yondr pouch Youdr (口袋), a locking device for their phones. The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic (磁力的) device. It’s not unlocked again until the final bell rings. The procedure will repeat every day for the rest of the school year. Adam Gelb, the vice-president, ran a pilot project last year with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide, bell to bell program for this school year. The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces, something that is the very thought with Gelb. “I really think it’s about being present and engaging in the adult that’s trying to teach you, and your peers that might be in your small group. That’s part of the main philosophy that we're trying to spread,” he said. Brad Friedman, another teacher at the school, said he was becoming concerned with overuse of phones at school. He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones, some not socializing at all with other students. This week, he’s already seeing the difference. “Everyone else was socializing and eating lunch together. That’s what I wasn’t seeing enough of when phone usage is at its worst,” he said. A senior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone. “I panicked, I guess. Last year when we had phones, I was using it every day,” he said. In case of emergency, every classroom has the unlocking device. Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and desk phones. “We’ve gotten all 1,700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes,” said Gelb. We spoke to four students who despite their initial panic, agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits. 8. What can we learn about the Yondr pouch from paragraph 1? A. It is a device to lock phones. B. It is a bell to unlock phones. C. It is a device to be used for a year. D. It is a phone intended for students. 9. The Youdr pouch is used more in Gelb’s school to ______________________. A. create space to use phones freely B. help the students to be more outgoing C. encourage more mutual communication among students D. help the students to realize the harm of overuse of phones 10. What is Friedman’s attitude to the use of the Yondr pouch ? A. Concerned. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. 11. What can be learned from the passage? A. The students were willing to have their phones locked at first. B. The phone will get unlocked automatically when there is an emergency C. Students prefer eating lunch together with their phones in hand. D. Some students came to realize the benefits of the phone-free program. D Europe’s series record-breaking hot and dry summers have broken an easy link to climate change. Climate models show Europe warms faster than the rest of the planet and the Arctic melting eventually causes massive ocean currents (洋流) and regional hot air circulation patterns. Arctic melting is adding roughly 6000 cubic kilometers of water or more to the ocean per decade. As that fresh-water pours into the North Atlantic Ocean, it sits on top of heavier ocean salt-water and stops mixing. With less heat being stirred in from below, the surface water gets colder than usual during the fall and winter months, says Marilena Oltmanns, a climate scientist at the U.K. National Oceanography Centre. This phenomenon may explain the so-called “cold blob”, an area of sea in the North Atlantic that NASA nodeling suggests is one of the few spots on Earth getting colder. To explore how the fresh water from Arctic ice might be affecting weather, Oltmanns and her colleagues developed a way to combine data from satellites, and weather stations. They found when the freshwater-caused cold blobs were more intense, the boundary was sharper, bringing more powerful westerly (向西的) winds. As a result, the stronger westerlies move a warm ocean flow from roughly 45°N to 60°N. That shift can continue into the next summer. And like a barrier, this warm current, curls up and around the British Isles, allowing a mass of hot, dry air to camp out over Europe. “The study convincingly puts meat on the bones of an expectation I and others have had for a while — that the cold blob south of Greenland would influence North Atlantic weather patterns, as well as those downstream over Europe,” says Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Woodwell Climate Research Center. 12. What does the underlined word “cold blob” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Climate models. B. Ocean current. C. Cold water zone. D. Air circulation patterns. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Introduce the form of cold blob. B. Present a phenomenon of climate changes in Europe. C. Survey some data for the study. D. Analyze the reason of hot and dry summer in Europe. 14. What is Jennifer’s attitude toward the study? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What can we infer from the passage? A. Human activities change climate models. B. Arctic melting contributes to European heat waves. C. Climate changes have little impact on ocean currents. D. Global warming results in the rise of the temperature. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your Path to Emotional Maturity Emotions play a critical part in life. In order to grow and be better than before, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you become emotionally mature! Try using “I” statements Whenever you feel hurt, you need to tell others your feelings in a considerate way. The best way to do this is by using “I” statements instead of “You” statements. For example, you should use the statement: “I feel miserable and heartbroken” instead of “You make me feel miserable and heartbroken”. ____16____ Own your feelings If you want to change yourself, start with taking ownership of your feelings. However, in some situations, instead of owning your feelings, you tend to deflect (转移) them and make others feel guilty about how you are feeling. ____17____ Embrace them as a part of yourself because they are a part of you, right? ____18____ People interact with us like we are mind readers sometimes; this happens mostly in relationships. Your partner would want you to know exactly what they want and when they want it; this can be extremely annoying. Just as you aren’t a mind reader, others aren’t either. You need to share your needs with the other person, and they need to do the same with you. Mind your actions and words Often, you say a lot when you are emotional, especially when you are angry. ____19____ You need to mind whatever you say and do; this can either make the other person love or hate you. The strategy in a stressful situation is to focus on yourself instead of focusing on others; this will calm you down instantly. Always question your thoughts Actions and words have the same importance; this is what I need you to understand. In some situations, your loved ones could be hurting you through their words or their actions, and you could also be wrong. ____20____ What happens in more than 70% of situations is that you let negative thoughts take hold of you; this is completely wrong. A. Attempt to be mind readers. B. Communicate your needs. C. You’d better not let negative thoughts question your judgment. D. Thus, rather than dump them on others, learn to take charge of your feelings. E. The approach is non-aggressive and describes you as emotionally mature. F. If not controlled, it can have severe consequences, especially in your relationship. G. Let’s say that you get into a fight with your partner, and you also get hurt. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(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四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was a boy, we lived right next to a forest.

I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
