Here, we put the spotlight on four key lighting design layers and how you can use them to capture every room of your home in its best light. General lighting Think of general lighting as the background layer that casts an even illumination (照明) throughout a room, most commonly from your ceiling lights. As these are often the main source of light for a room, it’s wise to have flexible options depending on the time of day, or desired brightness to suit the mood and the room’s purpose at the time. Ambient (氛围的) lighting Ambient lighting is the layer that adds warmth and softness to your space. Think lamp belt under the kitchen bench, or floor lamps in the corner. Use ambient lighting where you want to encourage rest and comfort, such as living spaces and bedrooms. Task lighting The next layer to consider is task lighting for more practical uses. These are brighter and are designed to illuminate workplaces, and are also used for study areas, home offices, bedside tables and reading corners. Accent lighting Accent lighting is placed to create a specific light effect, such as downlights or spotlights to highlight artwork, and wash lights against walls. The layering of accent lighting can be used to highlight architectural details and is an artful way to create focus and play with light in your space. 1. What is the major function of general lighting? A. Brightening a dark corner. B. Refreshing the surroundings. C. Lighting up the entire room. D. Adding warmth and softness. 2. Where is task lighting usually placed? A Beside the study table. B. Under the kitchen bench. C. In the middle of the ceiling. D. On the wall of the hallway. 3. Which lighting can highlight a focus artfully? A. General lighting B. Ambient lighting. C. Task lighting D. Accent lighting. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家居照明的四个关键设计层次：一般照明、氛围照明、任务照明和强调照明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据General lighting部分中“Think of general lighting as the background layer that casts an even illumination (照明) throughout a room, most commonly from your ceiling lights.(把普通照明想象成背景层，在整个房间里投射均匀的照明，最常见的是你的天花板灯)”可知，一般照明的主要作用是照亮了整个房间。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Task lighting部分中“The next layer to consider is task lighting for more practical uses. These are brighter and are designed to illuminate workplaces, and are also used for study areas, home offices, bedside tables and reading corners.(下一层要考虑的是用于更实际用途的任务照明。这些灯更亮，设计用于照亮工作场所，也用于学习区、家庭办公室、床头柜和阅读角)”可知，任务照明用于照亮工作场所，也用于学习区、家庭办公室、床头柜和阅读角，所以通常会放在书桌旁。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Accent lighting部分中“Accent lighting is placed to create a specific light effect, such as downlights or spotlights to highlight artwork, and wash lights against walls. The layering of accent lighting can be used to highlight architectural details and is an artful way to create focus and play with light in your space.(重点照明的放置是为了创造特定的光效果，比如筒灯或射灯来突出艺术品，以及墙壁上的洗灯。强调照明的分层可以用来突出建筑细节，是一种巧妙的方式来创造焦点，并在你的空间里玩光)”可知，强调照明可以巧妙地突出焦点。故选D项。 B I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈，给他们带去了安慰。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.(我真的在等着收到一封信，看看周末过得怎么样，这对我来说通常是最温暖的安慰)”可知，作者很喜欢收到妈妈的来信。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.(一夜之间，我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——一位在萨克拉门托的单身母亲，一个在堪萨斯州乡下被欺负的女孩……所有人都要求我给他们写一封信，给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由)”可知，信件对人们的安慰作用激发了作者发起这项活动。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下情书，以一种方式说：“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人，今晚安然入睡，枕头下有陌生人手写的信，他们一直守候在他身边)”可知，为什么作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它开启了和陌生人的交谈。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.(所以，当我搬到纽约，被抑郁症打脸时，我做了我能想到的唯一一件事——像我母亲一样给陌生人写信。我把这些信写在博客上，并疯狂地承诺，无论谁让我写，我都会写一封手写的信)”以及倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下情书，以一种方式说：“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人，今晚安然入睡，枕头下有陌生人手写的信，他们一直守候在他身边)”结合短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈，给他们带去了安慰。故短文的最佳标题为“写给陌生人的信”。故选C项。 C Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity. We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies? 8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. There are different types of education. B. The present education needs improvements. C. Education and economy are closely associated. D. The goal of future education is fundamentally different. 9. What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to? A. It accepts students of all ages. B. It promotes competition. C. It discourages individualized learning. D. It is all about play-based learning. 10. What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tough. B. Satisfactory. C. Optional. D. Required. 11. What is the suitable title for the text? A An Example to All B. A Vision for Education C. A Challenge for Education D. A Journey into the Future 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members.(直到2035年左右，教育系统的主要功能是为经济提供下一代工人。在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。)”可知，第一段主要告诉我们未来教育的目标是完全不同的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages.(学校已经被不受年龄限制的“学习中心”所取代。)”可知，Shemsy去的学习中心接受所有年龄的学生。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Being Human and the History of Humanity(做人和人类历史)”可知，做人和人类历史应该是全球儿童必修的课程，划线词mandatory的意思是“必修的”，和required意思相近，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080.(在2080年，教育的目的是社会及其所有成员的福祉。为了让你们更明白这一点，我想举一个2080年儿童教育的例子。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是对2080年的教育的展望，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“A Vision for Education(教育远景)”。故选B。 D Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate and punish researchers who engage in academic cheating, including paying to have their names added to a paper. The move comes as Peru’s national agency seeks to crack down on authorship buying and other dishonest practices. It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. And officials are investigating more than 170 other researchers that a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic misconduct, including 72 listed on the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru. The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such behavior. Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Malaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship and related problems. One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. Getting more points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious, notes Nahuel Monteblanco, president of Cientificos. pe, a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct. Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. 12. What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating? A. Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty. B. Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry. C. Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities. D. Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct. 13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “transcend” in paragraph3? A. Strengthen. B. Change. C. Go beyond. D. Approve of. 14. What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru”? A. It applied to high-impact journals. B. It advocated a fair scoring system. C. It aimed to punish dishonest publishing. D. It led to an increase in false authorship. 15. The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with . A. consistent research focus B. career promotion C. co-authors from various countries D. few citations by Punto Final 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了秘鲁为打击学术造假准备批准新法律，以及当前秘鲁学术界面临的学术不端问题、采取的措施和相关背景原因等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. (秘鲁最近将两名被指控发表不实论文的科学家从国家注册名单中除名，该名单是获得政府资助、职位晋升和薪资奖金的关键条件。)”可知，秘鲁近期采取的行动是取消了2名科学家在国家注册名单中的资格来解决学术作弊的问题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Malaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” (国会成员Edward Malaga Trillo是这些法案的推动力量，他表示，不诚实的出版行为“transcend单纯的道德失范”，因为它们使研究人员能够在不诚实的情况下获得政府和私人资金。立法者预计今年年初将敲定这些法案。“这些人正在进行学术欺诈。”)”可知，不诚实的出版行为不仅是道德上的错误，还涉及欺诈资金等更严重的后果。由此推断，“transcend”与“Go beyond”含义接近，意为“超越、超出”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. (一些研究人员表示，原因之一是2014年的一项法律，该法律旨在通过奖励提高发表量的研究人员来刺激研究)”以及“Getting more points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. (获得更多分数可以带来奖金和职业晋升)”可知，该法律导致研究人员为追求分数和奖励而可能采取虚假署名等不端行为，即该法律导致了虚假署名现象的增加。故选D项。 【15题详解】 逻辑推理题。根据最后一段“Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. (《Punto Final》（秘鲁媒体）引用的许多论文有大量来自不同国家的合著者，而这些合著者此前在同一主题上的发表成果很少。蒙特布兰科说：“如果你的同事每年持续与其他国家的合著者发表 20 篇文章，这就非常可疑。”)”可知，拥有来自不同国家合著者的高产研究人员最容易受到怀疑。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “The more you read, the more things you know.

This does wonders to develop our creativity and imagination. ●Reading improves vocabulary and communication. Giving your child access to a world of words is one of the best ways to improve their vocabulary and enhance their spelling skills.

D 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了阅读的重要性以及对人的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文““The more you read, the more things you know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” This is a famous quote by Dr Suess. (“你读得越多，你知道的就越多。你学得越多，你去的地方就越多。”这是苏斯博士的一句名言。)”以及后文“The importance of reading skills cannot be stressed enough. Here’s why reading is beneficial to all of us. (阅读技巧的重要性怎么强调都不为过。以下是为什么阅读对我们所有人都有益。)”可知，前文引用了苏斯博士的名言，此空需对该名言进行评价，故A选项“而且100%准确”符合语境，故选A。 17题详解】 根据本段内容“Reading is a gateway to learning anything about everything. It helps you discover new things and educate yourself in any area of life you are interested in. You can find a book on just any subject you can imagine, div e in and start learning. Your child can learn about their interests through reading things they enjoy. (阅读是学习任何东西的途径。它可以帮助你发现新事物，并在你感兴趣的任何生活领域进行自我教育。你可以找到一本你能想到的任何主题的书，然后开始学习。你的孩子可以通过阅读他们喜欢的东西来了解他们的兴趣。)”可知，后文提到阅读是了解一切事物的途径，能帮助人们发现新事物，所以该段主要讲阅读帮助人们发现世界，故D选项“阅读帮助你发现世界。”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“When we watch television or a movie, all the information is given to us on the screen. (当我们看电视或电影时，所有的信息都是在屏幕上呈现给我们的。)”以及后文“However, things are different during the reading. A book in its pure form is just words on a page, and our minds have to do the work, imagining the words coming to life. This does wonders to develop our creativity and imagination. (然而，在阅读过程中，情况就不同了。一本书的纯粹形式就是纸上的文字，我们的大脑必须完成这项工作，想象这些文字变得栩栩如生。这对发展我们的创造力和想象力有奇效。)”可知，前文提到当我们看电视或电影时，所有信息都呈现在屏幕上，后文通过“However”转折，说明阅读时情况不同，需要我们自己想象。所以此空应表示看电视或电影时不需要想象，故C选项“我们不需要想象什么”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Giving your child access to a world of words is one of the best ways to improve their vocabulary and enhance their spelling skills. New knowledge that’s gained through enjoyment has a tendency to last longer. (让你的孩子接触一个充满单词的世界是提高他们词汇量和提高拼写技能的最好方法之一。从享受中获得的新知识往往会持续更长时间。)”以及后文“Both their written and spoken communication abilities can be improved through regular pleasant reading. (他们的书面和口头沟通能力都可以通过定期愉快的阅读来提高。)”可知，前文提到通过阅读获得新知识往往能持续更长时间，后文说通过定期愉快的阅读可以提高书面和口头交流能力。推测本句说明通过阅读获取知识是一种愉快的体验，故B选项“而且感觉都不像工作！”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Learning new concepts, discovering exciting places and understanding others’ perspectives is key to building a well-rounded self-image. (学习新概念，发现令人兴奋的地方，理解他人的观点是建立一个全面的自我形象的关键。)”以及后文“It’s at early ages that children can be most easily influenced, and a positive reading experience can do wonders to help them form a positive perception of themselves. Reading also has social benefits. Children can discuss stories with others and form friendships over shared interests. (孩子们在很小的时候最容易受到影响，积极的阅读体验可以帮助他们形成积极的自我认知。阅读也有社会效益。孩子们可以与他人讨论故事，并在共同的兴趣爱好上建立友谊。)”可知，该段主要讲阅读有助于建立良好的自我形象。本句与建立良好自我形象相关，故F选项“一个人会为自己读得好而感到骄傲！”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分45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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Once in a small village located in the heart of a forest, there lived a young girl called Luna.

As a child, she was known for her warm smile and kind heart, always the first to lend a helping hand to her neighbors — whether it was helping an elderly neighbor with groceries or volunteering at the local animal shelter. But underneath her cheerful smile, she had a not very happy family. Sarah grew up in a loving home, but it was often chaotic (混乱的). Her father was a respected teacher, but he was addicted to drinking alcohol. Her mother worked tirelessly to keep the family together. As a child, Sarah learned to cope with the ups and downs of her family life, often finding comfort and help from books. Helping her neighbors gave her strength to become stronger and better. Despite the challenges at home, Sarah studied hard and excelled academically, dreaming of building a brighter future. After graduating from high school with good grades, she was admitted to a famous university to study psychology. Her dream came true. At university, Sarah studied diligently and became one of the top students. Her friends loved the cheerful, hardworking and warm-hearted Sarah. One day in her second year in university, tragedy struck when she received the news of her father’s death, due to too much alcohol drinking. Heart-broken, she hurried home for the funeral, feeling overwhelmed with grief and “guilt”. She regretted she should have helped his father earlier. After going back to school, Sarah struggled to keep pace with her studies. She often sat alone, lost in her thoughts, unwilling to talk with her friends or classmates. The cheerful young lady began to fade. Her friends and classmates noticed the change but they felt helpless, unsure of how to reach out and help her through the struggle. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Things didn’t improve until her teacher gave her a book, inviting her to join the Smiling Club. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After graduation, Sarah set up a Smiling Community Center in her hometown. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Things didn’t improve until her teacher gave her a book, inviting her to join the Smiling Club.

Sarah even helped organize an event to raise awareness about drinking and smoking addiction, aiming to help others avoid similar struggles. In time, the smiling Sarah returned. Paragraph 2: After graduation, Sarah set up a Smiling Community Center in her hometown. At the Smiling Community Center, she greeted visitors with her warm smile, making everyone feel at home. People chatted and enjoyed each other’s company. When people shared stories of their sufferings, Sarah inspired them with her own experience.

Here, we put the spotlight on four key lighting design layers and how you can use them to capture every room of your home in its best light. General lighting Think of general lighting as the background layer that casts an even illumination (照明) throughout a room, most commonly from your ceiling lights. As these are often the main source of light for a room, it’s wise to have flexible options depending on the time of day, or desired brightness to suit the mood and the room’s purpose at the time. Ambient (氛围的) lighting Ambient lighting is the layer that adds warmth and softness to your space. Think lamp belt under the kitchen bench, or floor lamps in the corner. Use ambient lighting where you want to encourage rest and comfort, such as living spaces and bedrooms. Task lighting The next layer to consider is task lighting for more practical uses. These are brighter and are designed to illuminate workplaces, and are also used for study areas, home offices, bedside tables and reading corners. Accent lighting Accent lighting is placed to create a specific light effect, such as downlights or spotlights to highlight artwork, and wash lights against walls. The layering of accent lighting can be used to highlight architectural details and is an artful way to create focus and play with light in your space. 1. What is the major function of general lighting? A. Brightening a dark corner. B. Refreshing the surroundings. C Lighting up the entire room. D. Adding warmth and softness. 2. Where is task lighting usually placed? A. Beside the study table. B. Under the kitchen bench. C. In the middle of the ceiling. D. On the wall of the hallway. 3. Which lighting can highlight a focus artfully? A. General lighting B. Ambient lighting. C. Task lighting D. Accent lighting. B I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. C Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning. Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community.

A Journey into the Future D Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate and punish researchers who engage in academic cheating, including paying to have their names added to a paper. The move comes as Peru’s national agency seeks to crack down on authorship buying and other dishonest practices. It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. And officials are investigating more than 170 other researchers that a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic misconduct, including 72 listed on the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru. The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such behavior. Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Malaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship and related problems. One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. Getting more points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious, notes Nahuel Monteblanco, president of Cientificos. pe, a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct. Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. 12. What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating? A. Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty. B. Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry. C. Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities. D. Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct. 13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “transcend” in paragraph3? A. Strengthen. B. Change. C. Go beyond. D. Approve of. 14. What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru”? A. It applied to high-impact journals. B. It advocated a fair scoring system. C. It aimed to punish dishonest publishing. D. It led to an increase in false authorship. 15. The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with . A. consistent research focus B. career promotion C. co-authors from various countries D. few citations by Punto Final 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “The more you read the more things you know.

As a child, she was known for her warm smile and kind heart, always the first to lend a helping hand to her neighbors — whether it was helping an elderly neighbor with groceries or volunteering at the local animal shelter. But underneath her cheerful smile, she had a not very happy family. Sarah grew up in a loving home, but it was often chaotic (混乱的). Her father was a respected teacher, but he was addicted to drinking alcohol. Her mother worked tirelessly to keep the family together. As a child, Sarah learned to cope with the ups and downs of her family life, often finding comfort and help from books. Helping her neighbors gave her strength to become stronger and better.
