This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them.( Reteti大象保护区是孩子们最喜欢的地方。这个中心是为了拯救小象而设立的，游客可以在给小象喂食的同时与它们互动)”可知，在雷泰蒂大象保护区，游客可以喂象宝宝。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs.(新西兰到处都是独特的动物，比如鳄蜥，这种动物在人类文明出现之前就生活在地球上，它的近亲在恐龙时代灭绝了)”可知，史前动物爱好者最有可能会去新西兰。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“There’s no better way for us to learn about the amazing creatures that share our planet than up - close and personal animal encounters.(对我们来说，没有比近距离接触动物更好的方式来了解我们这个星球上的神奇生物了)”以及下文小标题中的“Ocean Creatures”、“Baby Elephants”“Rhinos (犀牛)”、“Rare Animals”可知，本文主要向读者推荐了四个可以和野生动物近距离接触的行程。故选C。 B Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo? A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked her view. C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A friend approached from behind. 5. According to the author, the woman was probably ___________. A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past 6. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________. A. the need to be close to nature B. the importance of private space C. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the shared passion for beauty 7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon ___________. A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在我的一次旅途中我发现了一个非常值得拍摄的美景，就在我即将拍摄之际镜头中出现了一个“破坏”风景的女人身影。万般无奈苦苦等待后这张照片中还是留下了她的身影，却有了意想不到的效果。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. (不幸的是，就在我拿出相机的时候，一个女人从后面走过来，正好挡住了我的视线。)”可知，就在我即将拍摄之际，一位妇女挡住了我的视线。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话“Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. (和我一样，这位女士来这里是为了停下来，叹气，欣赏风景。)”可知，和作者一样，她也是在这儿停下来喘口气，欣赏美景。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. (也许这就是照片的意义所在：提醒我们都欣赏美，我们都有一个共同的欲望，那就是追求快乐，追求联系，追求比我们更伟大的东西。)”可知，卧室墙上的照片使作者能够更好地理解对美的共同热情。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. (那张照片是一个提醒，是一个被捕捉到时刻，是两个女人之间无声的对话，她们之间只隔着一块薄薄的方形玻璃。)”可知，作者在意大利游玩时，拍摄了一张有趣的照片，这张挂在卧室里的照片让作者有了一些启发。由此推断出作者的启发来自生活中的一次特别的经历。故选A项。 C Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you. Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings. Apple says the feature adds extra security for users. It addresses a drawback that thieves have used to lock device owners out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos and other files from their iCloud, and take money from their bank accounts. SDP keeps track of a user’s “familiar locations”, such as their home or workplace. It also reduces the importance of passwords. Instead, it favors “biometric”(生物识别的)features such as faces or fingerprints, which are a lot harder to copy. If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner. The new feature does not let someone use the password or any other backup method. Another part of the new feature is designed to slow down thieves trying to change security settings. For example, if someone tries to sign out of an Apple ID account, change the password or reset the phone in an unfamiliar location, they will have to authenticate(证实)by using Face ID or Touch ID, wait an hour, and then do a second facial or fingerprint scan. Changing an Apple ID password, updating Apple ID security settings, adding or removing Face or Touch ID, and turning off the Find My device feature or Stolen Device Protection also will lead to this feature. 8. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To set a phone-stealing scene. B. To introduce the following text. C. To remind readers to be cautious. D. To explain how password theft directly causes device loss. 9. What can SDP do to add security for users? A. Stop iCloud files from being deleted. B. Make it less likely to enter the phone. C. Secure Apple accounts with remote locking. D. Prevent thieves from accessing bank accounts. 10. What does SDP require for resetting a stolen iPhone? A. Previous passwords. B. A new security setting. C. An Apple ID account. D. Identity recognition. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. iPhone’s anti-theft measure. B. Apple ID security settings. C. Usage of biometric features. D. Apple’s iOS operating system. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了iPhone的“失窃设备保护”功能。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。第一段“Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice, but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you.(想象你在一个拥挤的地方。你没有注意到，有人在看着你，并且知道了你的iPhone密码。然后，他们偷了你的手机。突然之间，你的照片、文件、财务信息和你数字生活的其余部分都被拿走了)”假设了一个情境：别人盗取你的iPhone密码然后手机上的个人信息被泄露，下文介绍了iPhone的“失窃设备保护”功能，这一功能使得手机窃贼更难打开手机并访问重要信息，故第一段的作用是为了介绍接下来的内容，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings.(它有一个新功能，称为失窃设备保护（SDP）。这一功能使得手机窃贼更难打开手机并访问重要功能和设置)”可知，SDP可以让手机不太容易被他人打开，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner.(如果小偷试图删除或重置iPhone，该设备将需要面部识别或触摸识别扫描，以确认该人是合法的所有者)”可知，如果想重置iPhone，需要身份确认，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段“Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings.(iPhone制造商苹果公司（Apple）最近发布了iOS操作系统的更新。它有一个新功能，称为被盗设备保护（SDP）。这一功能使得手机窃贼更难打开手机并访问重要功能和设置)”可知，文章主要介绍了iPhone的“失窃设备保护”功能，故选A。 D A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 12. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2? A. Improve. B. Reduce. C. Need. D. Influence. 13. What does the example in paragraph 3 prove? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain. 14. How did the researchers do the new study? A. They did 54 small studies in all. B. They examined plenty of previous research. C. They observed children in music classes. D. They did an online survey of musical students. 15. What result can we know from the last paragraph? A. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究结果，即学习音乐并不会让人变得更聪明，但音乐课仍然可能对学生的非音乐学科表现有益。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music.(有一段时间，互联网和各种杂志上流传着一种观点，认为婴儿听莫扎特或其他古典音乐可以变得更聪明)”可知，受到这个观点的启发，一些父母为他们的孩子购买古典CD，希望这能提高他们的智力。由此可知，boost意为“提高”。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.(但是上音乐课和仅仅听音乐肯定不同吗？上音乐课不会让孩子更聪明吗？这正是多年来许多研究人员试图回答的问题。他们的一些研究得出结论是会的，而另一些研究则发现不会。例如，一项研究表明，音乐教育并没有提高阅读能力，而另一项研究则发现音乐对幼儿学习单词的能力有很小的影响)”可知，第三段中的例子是为了证明上音乐课是否能让孩子更聪明还不确定。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.(这项新研究的研究人员，富士塔健康大学的乔瓦尼•萨拉和伦敦经济学院的费尔南德•戈贝尔，查看了54项精心挑选的研究背后的数据，并在仔细比较了不同论文的数据后得出结论，上音乐课的孩子在衡量智力和学术能力的测试中的得分并不比不学音乐的孩子高)”可知，研究人员是通过审查了大量先前的研究来进行这项新研究的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.(最后，他们还提到，如果音乐与这些课程相结合，音乐教育仍然可能对学生的非音乐学科表现有益。所以，请继续创作音乐，并继续鼓励孩子们学习音乐)”可知，从最后一段我们可以知道应该鼓励孩子们上音乐课。故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，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。 How to deal with post-vacation blues Dreaming at your desk about your recent vacation? Having trouble concentrating? Feeling depressed and wishing you were anywhere but at work? You are not alone. This worry about the first day back to work is perfectly normal according to Dr. Angelos Halaris, a professor of psychology at Loyola University in Illinois. ___16___ A 2017 study found adolescent depression, anxiety and feelings about everyday troubles appeared to be tied to the end and beginning of school-vacation cycles. Here are some effective ways to help you deal with post-vacation blues. ___17___Experts say having something to look forward to can ease the bite of the back to work blues. For instance, a half-day break to the suburbs of your city. Ease back into work. "Don't jump into the cold water, you'll have a heart attack. Ease your way back into your routine," Halaris said. Set small goals to feel a sense of accomplishment._____18_____ If you're always stuck at your desk, set a timer and take a quick walk or try to fit in a workout. Don't live in the past. Know that something you enjoyed has come to an end, but make peace with it and know it will come back again. ___19___"Self-talk and being optimistic are important," Halaris said. Look at kitten pictures online if you need a little lift. Take advantage of the break in your routine and start new office habits. Something small like getting up to walk away from your desk once an hour helps. Do connect. People who are blue tend toward withdrawal. "Push yourself to communicate even if you don't feel like it," Halaris said. ___20___ A. It's not just adults, either. B. Company helps avoid the blues. C. Resist feeling sorry for yourself. D. Another study also confirms this finding. E. Book another vacation—even if it's a mini-vacation. F. You can also try to add some variety to your work life. G. Keeping yourself occupied can help you avoid the post-vacation blues. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文，长假归来无心工作或学习，本文给出了几条建议。 【16题详解】 前文提到长假过后无心工作，后文说“2017年的一项研究发现，青少年的抑郁、焦虑和对日常烦恼的感受似乎与学校假期周期的结束和开始有关”，A选项说到这种情况不仅仅是成年人，所以A项连接了上下文，承上启下，故选A项。 【17题详解】 本段给出第一条建议，根据后文的“a half-day break to the suburbs of your city” 去你城市郊区的半天假期，E项说到“预订另外一个假期，即使是很短的假期”，其中选项的mini-vacation对应后文提到的a half-day break。故选E项。 【18题详解】 本段首句的建议是“轻松重返工作岗位”，可知是工作后应该怎么做，F项“使工作生活多样化”承接上文，空后说到“设置一个计时器，或快速散步”照应F选项。故选F项。 【19题详解】 前文说到不要活在过去，C项说“不要为自己难过”，承接上文，选项中的Resist feeling sorry对应后文的being optimistic。故选C项。 【20题详解】 前文说“Push yourself to communicate”逼自己去交流，B项说“陪伴帮助避免忧郁”，承接上文，选项中的company陪伴照应前文的communicate交流。故选B项。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Look Mom, he paints like me!” Eight-year-old Alexandra Nechita had just discovered Pablo Picasso’s artwork for the first time.

Michael and his parents were busy planning a big party for him when Grandpa invited him for a walk. Thinking of Grandpa’s joy in waving at passers-by, Michael eagerly agreed. “I’m ready, Grandpa!” Michael replied, watching Grandpa put on his beloved red hat before they went out. As they walked, Grandpa cheerfully waved at the car that drove by. A young boy leaned out of the window and shouted, “There’s the man in the red hat!” Grandpa waved to him and the people in the next three cars, all of whom joyfully waved back. Although Michael didn’t understand why Grandpa was doing so, he thought it interesting. As they turned a corner, an old man with a brown hat was walking towards them. “Hi, Joseph, it’s good to see you,” Grandpa greeted him warmly. “I hate going out in winter!” Joseph complained, pulling his scarf up over his mouth and nose as he walked by. “He’s bad-tempered!” Michael said in a low voice. But Grandpa whispered to him that Joseph was just lonely, for he lived by himself, and suggested they might be able to help. Suddenly, a rush of wind blew off Joseph’s brown hat, sending it towards the pond before disappearing from sight. Joseph was very upset, shaking in the cold. Without hesitation, Grandpa lent a helping hand. “You can take mine if you don’t mind,” he said, handing his red hat over to Joseph. “Thanks,” Joseph said, putting on the red hat and continuing on his way. A car passed, and the people inside waved at Joseph, recognizing him as “the man in the red hat”. Another car passed and honked. At first confused, Joseph soon caught on, waving back at the third car that greeted him. Observing this heartwarming exchange, Grandpa and Michael couldn’t help but smile, realizing Grandpa’s plan to brighten Joseph’s day was taking effect. A week later, a big party was held for Grandpa’s birthday. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 To everyone’s surprise, Joseph came with a present. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the party, Michael and two men in red hats began their daily walk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： To everyone’s surprise, Joseph came with a present. “Here, this is for you,” he said, handing over a new red hat, much like the one that Grandpa had given him. “Thank you for your red hat! It brought me lots of comfort and joy,” Joseph said in a choked voice. Grandpa patted him on the shoulder, put on the red hat and invited him to join in his daily walk later. Now, there were two men in red hats. The whole room burst into cheers and applause as Joseph and Grandpa shared a warm hug. After the party, Michael and two men in red hats began their daily walk. Grandpa and Joseph walked side by side, waving cheerfully to the passing cars. More and more people waved back, greeting the two men in red hats. Michael, seeing Joseph’s change, finally understood Grandpa’s joy in greeting others and the power of a simple act of kindness, like giving a red hat. From then on, wearing red hats became a routine during their daily walks, and Michael looked forward to this moment of community connection every day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了Michael的爷爷David每天外出散步，总是戴着一顶红帽子，向路人挥手问好，久而久之，大家也变得乐于回应。有一天，在散步途中，遇到了郁郁寡欢的独居老人Joseph，他的帽子碰巧被风吹到了池塘中。David就把自己的帽子给了他，Joseph戴上红色帽子后，遇到了路人热情的打招呼，路人的热情和David的善良感动了Joseph，爷爷与他人暖心交流的方式也给Michael留下了深刻的印象。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“使每个人惊讶的是，Joseph带着礼物出席了。”可知，第一段可描写Joseph发生的改变及送礼物给爷爷表示感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“派对之后，Michael和两个带红帽子的人开始日常散步。”可知，第二段可描写Michael陪两位老人散步的情景及感悟。 2.续写线索：陪散步——打招呼——送帽子——解开心结——参加派对——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①爆发欢呼声：burst into cheers/a great cheer goes up ②给予：give/offer ③并肩行走：walk side by side/walk shoulder to shoulder 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/happiness/delight ②愉快地：cheerfully/merrily/agreeably 【点睛】[高分句型1] “Here, this is for you,” he said, handing over a new red hat, much like the one that Grandpa had given him. （运用了that引导的定语从句及现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] The whole room burst into cheers and applause as Joseph and Grandpa shared a warm hug. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 建平县实验中学高一英语6月月考试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Researching Ocean Creatures in the Maldives The Marine Life Discovery Center in the Maldives is a great place to learn about all kinds of ocean animals. You can join the scientists and help protect the ocean environment. Moreover, the center runs a rescue program for sea turtles. Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them. However, many other kinds of wildlife also end up here. This is a unique place to interact with African animals of all shapes and sizes. Conserving Rhinos (犀牛) in South Africa The two new Marataba Conservation Camps will give you new experiences. Visitors are expected to take part in all research projects and will see wildlife and get to collect related information. Rhino Conservation is at the heart of Marataba, which has wonderful views of the Waterberg Mountains. Finding Rare Animals in New Zealand New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs. You can go to Southland Museum and Art Gallery to meet one or spot them in the wild on Tiritiri Matangi Island. 1. What can visitors do in the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary? A. Feed baby elephants. B.

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each other’s spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo? A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked her view. C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A friend approached from behind. 5. According to the author, the woman was probably ___________. A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past 6. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ____________. A. the need to be close to nature B. the importance of private space C. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the shared passion for beauty 7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon ___________. A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship C Imagine that you are in a crowded place. You do not notice but someone is watching you and learns your iPhone password(密码). Then, they steal your phone. Suddenly, your photos, documents, financial information, and the rest of your digital life have been taken from you. Apple, the iPhone maker, recently released an update to its iOS operating system. It has a new feature called Stolen Device Protection (SDP). The feature makes it a lot harder for phone thieves to open the device and access important functions and settings. Apple says the feature adds extra security for users. It addresses a drawback that thieves have used to lock device owners out of their Apple accounts, delete their photos and other files from their iCloud, and take money from their bank accounts. SDP keeps track of a user’s “familiar locations”, such as their home or workplace. It also reduces the importance of passwords. Instead, it favors “biometric”(生物识别的)features such as faces or fingerprints, which are a lot harder to copy. If a thief tries to erase or reset an iPhone, the device will require a Face ID or Touch ID scan to confirm that the person is the rightful owner. The new feature does not let someone use the password or any other backup method. Another part of the new feature is designed to slow down thieves trying to change security settings. For example, if someone tries to sign out of an Apple ID account, change the password or reset the phone in an unfamiliar location, they will have to authenticate(证实)by using Face ID or Touch ID, wait an hour, and then do a second facial or fingerprint scan. Changing an Apple ID password, updating Apple ID security settings, adding or removing Face or Touch ID, and turning off the Find My device feature or Stolen Device Protection also will lead to this feature. 8. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To set a phone-stealing scene. B. To introduce the following text. C. To remind readers to be cautious. D. To explain how password theft directly causes device loss. 9. What can SDP do to add security for users? A. Stop iCloud files from being deleted. B. Make it less likely to enter the phone. C. Secure Apple accounts with remote locking. D. Prevent thieves from accessing bank accounts. 10. What does SDP require for resetting a stolen iPhone? A. Previous passwords. B. A new security setting. C. An Apple ID account. D. Identity recognition. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. iPhone’s anti-theft measure. B. Apple ID security settings. C Usage of biometric features. D. Apple’s iOS operating system. D A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter. For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 12. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2? A. Improve. B. Reduce. C. Need. D. Influence. 13. What does the example in paragraph 3 prove? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain. 14. How did the researchers do the new study? A. They did 54 small studies in all. B. They examined plenty of previous research. C. They observed children in music classes. D. They did an online survey of musical students. 15. What result can we know from the last paragraph? A. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，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。 How to deal with post-vacation blues Dreaming at your desk about your recent vacation? Having trouble concentrating? Feeling depressed and wishing you were anywhere but at work? You are not alone. This worry about the first day back to work is perfectly normal according to Dr. Angelos Halaris, a professor of psychology at Loyola University in Illinois. ___16___ A 2017 study found adolescent depression, anxiety and feelings about everyday troubles appeared to be tied to the end and beginning of school-vacation cycles. Here are some effective ways to help you deal with post-vacation blues. ___17___Experts say having something to look forward to can ease the bite of the back to work blues. For instance, a half-day break to the suburbs of your city. Ease back into work. "Don't jump into the cold water, you'll have a heart attack. Ease your way back into your routine," Halaris said. Set small goals to feel a sense of accomplishment._____18_____ If you're always stuck at your desk, set a timer and take a quick walk or try to fit in a workout. Don't live in the past. Know that something you enjoyed has come to an end, but make peace with it and know it will come back again. ___19___"Self-talk and being optimistic are important," Halaris said. Look at kitten pictures online if you need a little lift. Take advantage of the break in your routine and start new office habits.

Michael and his parents were busy planning a big party for him when Grandpa invited him for a walk. Thinking of Grandpa’s joy in waving at passers-by, Michael eagerly agreed. “I’m ready, Grandpa!” Michael replied, watching Grandpa put on his beloved red hat before they went out. As they walked, Grandpa cheerfully waved at the car that drove by. A young boy leaned out of the window and shouted, “There’s the man in the red hat!” Grandpa waved to him and the people in the next three cars, all of whom joyfully waved back. Although Michael didn’t understand why Grandpa was doing so, he thought it interesting. As they turned a corner, an old man with a brown hat was walking towards them. “Hi, Joseph, it’s good to see you,” Grandpa greeted him warmly. “I hate going out in winter!” Joseph complained, pulling his scarf up over his mouth and nose as he walked by. “He’s bad-tempered!” Michael said in a low voice. But Grandpa whispered to him that Joseph was just lonely, for he lived by himself, and suggested they might be able to help. Suddenly, a rush of wind blew off Joseph’s brown hat, sending it towards the pond before disappearing from sight. Joseph was very upset, shaking in the cold. Without hesitation, Grandpa lent a helping hand. “You can take mine if you don’t mind,” he said, handing his red hat over to Joseph. “Thanks,” Joseph said, putting on the red hat and continuing on his way. A car passed, and the people inside waved at Joseph, recognizing him as “the man in the red hat”. Another car passed and honked. At first confused, Joseph soon caught on, waving back at the third car that greeted him. Observing this heartwarming exchange, Grandpa and Michael couldn’t help but smile, realizing Grandpa’s plan to brighten Joseph’s day was taking effect. A week later, a big party was held for Grandpa’s birthday. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 To everyone’s surprise, Joseph came with a present. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the party, Michael and two men in red hats began their daily walk. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
