I’m typing the first draft of this letter on a 1954 Smith Corona Silent, a green and gray beauty. Now, for most of us, buying a typewriter in this age of the Internet, texting and tablet computers is odd enough. But there are plenty of writers who still use typewriters. Using a typewriter is a form of time travel. For people who know me well, the fact that I use a typewriter isn’t a surprise. I’m someone who still has a landline and wears a wristwatch. So owning a typewriter fits into that life quite nicely. Why do I love it so much? It is made for doing one thing: Writing. There are no distractions, no email to check, no alerts that grab your attention. Some people look at it and said, “But you can’t access the Internet on it!” Not being able to access the Internet on my writing machine is a feature, not a bug. Of course, I don’t use a typewriter all the time. It’s impossible in the 21st century. As someone who does a lot of work online and has to email his work to editors and other people, doing all of my writing on a typewriter just isn’t something that would work today. And after using a computer keyboard for over 30 years, typing on a typewriter is hard. But it’s wonderful to write letters, create first drafts, make notes and lists, and a typed message on a card or thank-you note looks fantastic. I didn’t buy it for show. I’m actually using it! So I write on both a typewriter and a laptop. I live in 1954 and in the modern digital age. Old and new, analog and digital, beauty and convenience. I straddle both worlds and try to use the technology that suits me best and works the best depending on what I’m doing. And that’s really what we all should be doing with technology, isn’t it? 8. What do most people think of buying a typewriter? A. Common. B. Useless. C. Strange. D. Meaningful. 9. Why does the author enjoy using a typewriter? A. It has some advantages. B. The author is a collector. C. It makes the author inspired. D. The author dislikes modern things. 10. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. He has used a typewriter for 30 years. B. He finds a typewriter useful and practical. C. There isn’t plenty of work for him to do online. D. It’s possible for him to always use a typewriter nowadays. 11. What does the text want to convey to us? A. Interest is the best teacher. B. Each coin has its two sides. C. It pays to be suitable and useful. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。在这个互联网、短信和平板电脑的时代，作者依然非常喜欢使用打字机，文章中描述了作者对打字机的热爱，并阐述了合适和有用是值得的理念。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Now, for most of us, buying a typewriter in this age of the Internet, texting and tablet computers is odd enough.(现在，对我们大多数人来说，在这个互联网、短信和平板电脑的时代买一台打字机已经够奇怪的了。)”可知，大多数人认为购买一台打字机很奇怪。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Why do I love it so much? It is made for doing one thing: Writing. There are no distractions, no email to check, no alerts that grab your attention. Some people look at it and said, “But you can’t access the Internet on it!” Not being able to access the Internet on my writing machine is a feature, not a bug.(为什么我这么喜欢它？它只做一件事:写作。没有分心的事情，没有需要检查的电子邮件，没有吸引你注意力的提醒。有些人看着它说：“但是你不能在上面上网！”不能在我的写作机上上网是一个特性，而不是一个bug。)”可知，作者喜欢使用打字机是因为打字机有一些优势。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句“But it’s wonderful to write letters, create first drafts, make notes and lists, and a typed message on a card or thank-you note looks fantastic. I didn’t buy it for show. I’m actually using it!(但是写信、写初稿、做笔记和列清单是很棒的，在卡片或感谢信上打字看起来很棒。我买它不是为了展示。我真的在用它！)”推知，作者认为打字机是有用且实用的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后两句“I straddle both worlds and try to use the technology that suits me best and works the best depending on what I’m doing. And that’s really what we all should be doing with technology, isn’t it?(我跨越了这两个世界，并尝试使用最适合我的技术，并根据我正在做的事情最好地工作。这才是我们应该用科技做的事情，不是吗？)”可知，文章想要表达合适和有用是值得的。故选C。 阅读理解 For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign. The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said. Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.” 12. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska? A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest. C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous. 13. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event. C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams. 14. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears? A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline. C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.

Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet.

His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion. “Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the delay.” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer. Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory. As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions. As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He’d cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do. Para 1: Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. Para 2: The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. 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。 Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. At the sight of Hector, Mr. Adler mumbled “Where did I put that sheet of Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers?” Hearing this, Hector lowered his head. Noticing his nervousness, Mr. Adler inquired what had happened. At that time, Hector nervously took out the envelope, submitted it to Mr. Adler and confessed that he had cheated by reading the questions on it. To his surprise, Mr. Adler didn’t blame him but praised him. Instantly, a wave of relief seized Hector. The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Having been up late studying, Hector looked exhausted but excited. So did the other competitors. All the eyes fixed on the stage, Hector felt his heart beating fast. Unfortunately, the questions Mr. Adler rewrote were so tough that he was knocked out in round three. But Hector realized that he didn’t feel bad about losing. Whether others knew he was smart was of no significance. He’d set out to learn everything about the world and ended up learning more about himself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Hector在五年级地理知识竞赛中成为班级冠军后，偶然捡到装有全校地理知识竞赛问题和答案的信封并偷看，之后内心备受煎熬，最终决定向老师坦白的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“在他意识到之前，Hector发现自己就站在Adler先生的房间里。”可知，第一段可描写Hector向Mr. Adler承认错误时的表现以及Mr. Adler的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，全校师生都来观看五年级的地理比赛。”可知，第二段可描写校级地理比赛现场的情况以及Hector的最终表现和他对这次经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：找到老师——承认错误——老师反应——参加校赛——现场表现——比赛结果——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低声说：mumble/whisper ②提交：submit/hand in ③意识到：realize/understand/recognize 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Noticing his nervousness, Mr. Adler inquired what had happened.

I’m typing the first draft of this letter on a 1954 Smith Corona Silent, a green and gray beauty. Now, for most of us, buying a typewriter in this age of the Internet, texting and tablet computers is odd enough. But there are plenty of writers who still use typewriters. Using a typewriter is a form of time travel. For people who know me well, the fact that I use a typewriter isn’t a surprise. I’m someone who still has a landline and wears a wristwatch. So owning a typewriter fits into that life quite nicely. Why do I love it so much? It is made for doing one thing: Writing. There are no distractions, no email to check, no alerts that grab your attention. Some people look at it and said, “But you can’t access the Internet on it!” Not being able to access the Internet on my writing machine is a feature, not a bug. Of course, I don’t use a typewriter all the time. It’s impossible in the 21st century. As someone who does a lot of work online and has to email his work to editors and other people, doing all of my writing on a typewriter just isn’t something that would work today. And after using a computer keyboard for over 30 years, typing on a typewriter is hard. But it’s wonderful to write letters, create first drafts, make notes and lists, and a typed message on a card or thank-you note looks fantastic. I didn’t buy it for show. I’m actually using it! So I write on both a typewriter and a laptop. I live in 1954 and in the modern digital age. Old and new, analog and digital, beauty and convenience. I straddle both worlds and try to use the technology that suits me best and works the best depending on what I’m doing. And that’s really what we all should be doing with technology, isn’t it? 8. What do most people think of buying a typewriter? A. Common. B. Useless. C. Strange. D. Meaningful. 9. Why does the author enjoy using a typewriter? A It has some advantages. B. The author is a collector. C. It makes the author inspired. D. The author dislikes modern things. 10. What can we infer about the author from paragraph 3? A. He has used a typewriter for 30 years. B. He finds a typewriter useful and practical. C. There isn’t plenty of work for him to do online. D. It’s possible for him to always use a typewriter nowadays. 11. What does the text want to convey to us? A Interest is the best teacher. B. Each coin has its two sides. C. It pays to be suitable and useful. D. Actions speak louder than words. 阅读理解 For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign. The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said. Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.” 12. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska? A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest. C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous. 13. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event. C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams. 14. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears? A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline. C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共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。 Envy is a natural human emotion, and we writers suffer from it constantly.

I also read over them when I need to remind myself that I’m a pretty good writer. I take screenshots (截屏) of positive things people say about my work on social media. ____18____ ____19____ You know what happens when you don’t see people posting about their writing successes all the time?

His opponent having missed the last question, it was Hector’s turn. If he answered his question correctly, he would be the Room Five champion. “Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the delay.” said Mr. Adler after what seemed like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the capital city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer. Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates congratulated Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he greeted and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory. As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn’t want to leave. Then he saw Mr. Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he hurried past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware, turned a corner and disappeared out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”. Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope. Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences, he opened it and read the questions. As soon as Hector had done it, he knew it was the wrong choice. He’d cheated and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I stole this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was totally at a loss what to do. Para 1: Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. Para 2: The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. 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。 Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
