She planned the whole day for her mom and wanted it to be the best Mother’s Day ever, especially when Dad is on a business trip and not at home. She was going to start with making her mom pancakes. “BLAST OFF!” Mike, her little brother, yelled as he ran through the kitchen and hit Amy’s hand. With a crash, the eggs fell to the floor. Amy’s heart sank (下沉) as she looked down and saw that every egg was broken. Then Amy leaned down, hugged him, and said, “It’s okay. It was an accident.” Just then, Amy’s mom came into the kitchen. “What happened?” Amy’s mom asked. “I was going to make you pancakes, but all of the eggs cracked,” replied Amy. “But, I made you something else!” Amy ran to her bedroom, where she kept her backpack. In class, Mrs. Thorton had given the students time to make special Mother’s Day cards. Amy’s card was perfect. She used her mom’s favorite colors and found pretty stickers to add. She opened her bag and began looking for the card. It wasn’t there! “Never mind,” Amy whispered as she went back to the kitchen, “I accidentally left my gift for you at school.” “That’s okay,” mom responded, “We still have a whole day of fun together.” That reminded Amy of her next surprise. “I think we should go to the beach, your favorite place in the world. I have everything ready.” Amy cheered with joy. “My favorite!” smiled her mom. But when they opened the door, they saw a giant bolt of lightning crash across the sky. Amy slid down to the floor. “I wanted your day to be perfect, and everything is ruined!” she cried. “Do you want to know what is a perfect day for me?” asked her mom. “Any day spent with you, my favorite people.” Amy’s smile grew larger across her face. 24.

She used her mom’s favorite colors and found pretty stickers to add.”可知关于卡片的惊喜不是为妈妈设计一张卡片，而是将已经设计好的卡片展示给妈妈。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She planned the whole day for her mom and wanted it to be the best Mother’s Day ever”可知，Amy想给妈妈一个完美的母亲节。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Any day spent with you, my favorite people.”可知，对妈妈来说完美的一天就是和家人在一起。故选B。 C What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television program? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. It’s as if a curtain is drawn over the early years of our lives, hiding away countless precious moments. A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists for this “childhood amnesia”. Some proposed that the brain’s memory-forming structures aren’t fully developed in early childhood. Others thought it could be due to the lack of a sense of self-identity in young children. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast-forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced. So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way—Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel. “The key to creating this mental life story is language,” says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences. 27. According to the passage, how can children form long-term memories? A. They can create a story in their own ways. B. They can share their experiences with their parents. C. They can be patient to wait themselves to grow older. D They can develop good relationships with their friends. 28. According to Dr. Simms, why can’t children form long-term memories before 3? A. Because they can’t remember their experiences. B. Because they haven’t developed enough language skills. C. Because they haven’t learned to write a novel by themselves. D. Because they can’t tell the differences between memories and experiences. 29. What is the passage mainly about? A. The link between childhood memories and storytelling skills. B. How language skills improve the ability to form long-term memories. C. How verbal reinforcement helps children create long-term memories. D. The difference between short-term and long-term memories in children. 【答案】27. B 28. B 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文重点讨论了语言描述如何帮助孩子将短期记忆转化为长期记忆。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast-forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories”和第三段“Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t”可知，西姆斯博士认为，孩子们需要学会利用他人对自己亲身经历的口头描述，才能将自己对这些经历短暂且易忘的印象转化为长期记忆。因此孩子需要通过与父母分享经历来形成长期记忆。故选B。 28题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences”可知，孩子的语言技能通常要到三、四岁时才具备这种能力，所以他们无法记住自己最早的经历。因此3岁前的孩子语言能力尚未发展完善，无法形成长期记忆。故选B。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“语言强化”对儿童长期记忆形成的作用展开，重点讨论了语言描述如何帮助孩子将短期记忆转化为长期记忆。故选C。 D As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are converted to digital form. Some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription (订阅). People who support this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book. They can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books. They can simply rent out as many digital copies as they need. However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets (平板电脑). First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet and book reading found that people read 20~30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous physical discomfort, including dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, shoulder and back pain, muscle strain and so on. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens. Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, and keeping the community connected. One neighbourhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can’t offer nearly as well or as easily. While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the countless issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by simple object. 30. What does the word “access” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Find. B. Buy. C. Need. D. Offer. 31. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A People can read faster on tablets than on real books. B. Reading on tablets can improve people’s memories. C. People may find more reasons to read real books. D. Overusing tablets may lead to health problems. 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Tablets may replace libraries in the future. B. Reading on print books are better for learning. C. Print books can cost people more time to read. D. The main service of the library is lending books. 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To compare tablets with real books. B. To stress the good points of libraries. C. To encourage people to read more books. D. To advise communities to build more libraries. 【答案】30. A 31. D 32. B 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了是否应该用平板电脑和电子阅读器订阅取代公共图书馆的争议性话题。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books.”可知，他们还能获取更多资料，因为图书馆无需再购买纸质版书籍。“access”在此处指“获取/使用（数字资源）”，与选项A（Find）含义最接近。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous physical discomfort, including dizziness, dry eyes, headaches…”可知，过度使用平板可能导致健康问题。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“people read 20~30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information…”及全文对纸质书和图书馆的肯定，可推知作者认为纸质书更利于学习。故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。全文通过对比平板和图书馆，强调图书馆的多重社会价值（如社区连接、学习空间等），核心目的是突出图书馆的优点。故选B。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（1至3每题2分，4题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 What Makes a Good Life? What if we could study people from the time that they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy? Luckily for us, for many years now, we’ve conducted a study to answer this very question. The Harvard Study of Adult Development may be the longest study of adult life that has ever been done. So what have we learned from the tens of thousands of pages of information that we’ve generated on these lives? Well, the lessons aren’t about wealth or fame or hard work. The clearest message that we have gotten from this study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. We’ve learned three big lessons about relationships. Firstly, social connections are really good for us, and loneliness kills. People who are more closely connected to their family, friends and community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer lives than those who are less well-connected. The sad fact is that at any given time, more than one in five Americans will report that they’re lonely. And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd, so the second big lesson is that it’s not just the number of friends you have, but it’s the quality of your close relationships that matters. Besides protecting our bodies, good relationships help our memories stay sharper for a longer time. And those good relationships don’t have to be smooth all the time. Some couples could argue with each other day in and day out in their 80s, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments wouldn’t end up doing harm to their memories. So what about you? What might “leaning in to relationships” even look like? Well, the possibilities are practically endless. It might be something as simple as replacing screen time with people time, or changing a stale (腻烦的) relationship by doing something new together, or reaching out to that family member to whom you haven’t spoken in years. The good life is built with good relationships. 34. What can keep us happier and healthier? _______________________ 35. According to the passage, who can live longer lives? _______________________ 36. Besides protecting our bodies, what can good relationships bring to us? _______________________ 37. What do you think of good relationships? Why do you think so? (Please give two reasons.) _______________________ 【答案】34. Good relationships. 35. People who are more closely connected to their family, friends and community. 36. They can help our memories stay sharper for a longer time. 37. I think good relationships are very important. They make us happier and healthier. They help improve our memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了良好的人际关系对幸福和健康的重要性，并强调了社会联系、关系质量以及长期情感支持的关键作用。 【34题详解】 根据“Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.”可知，良好的关系能让我们更快乐和健康。故填Good relationships. 【35题详解】 根据“People who are more closely connected to their family, friends and community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer lives than those who are less well-connected.”可知，与家人、朋友和社区联系更紧密的人寿命更长。故填People who are more closely connected to their family, friends and community. 【36题详解】 根据“Besides protecting our bodies, good relationships help our memories stay sharper for a longer time.”可知，除了保护我们的身体，良好的关系还能让我们的记忆更长久地保持敏锐。故填They can help our memories stay sharper for a longer time. 【37题详解】 开放题，合理即可。故填I think good relationships are very important. They make us happier and healthier. They help improve our memory. 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 38. 假设你是李华，你校英语社团正在举办“中华传统文化周”活动，其公众号计划做关于中国传统节日的系列推送，现就“Chinese Traditional Festivals”这一话题在校内收集素材。请你用英语给公众号留言，推荐一个你最喜欢的中国传统节日，对其作简要介绍，并说明推荐理由。 提示词语：the Spring Festival, get together, important 提示问题：●What is your favorite festival? ●What do you often do to celebrate it? ●Why do you like it?

Now let me tell you something about the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is very important in China, which falls on the first day of the Chinese lunar New Year. It usually comes in January or February. Before the Spring Festival, people usually clean the house and sweep away the bad luck. To celebrate it, they stick the Chinese character “Fu” upside down on the door. On the evening before the Spring Festival, they have a big family dinner. On the first day of the New Year, people wear new clothes and visit relatives. Here are the reasons why I want to recommend the Spring Festival. For one thing, the Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. A lot of foreign people want to learn about it. For another, I can share Chinese traditional cultures with foreign people by introducing the Spring Festival. I hope my idea can be taken.

She planned the whole day for her mom and wanted it to be the best Mother’s Day ever, especially when Dad is on a business trip and not at home. She was going to start with making her mom pancakes. “BLAST OFF!” Mike, her little brother, yelled as he ran through the kitchen and hit Amy’s hand. With a crash, the eggs fell to the floor. Amy’s heart sank (下沉) as she looked down and saw that every egg was broken. Then Amy leaned down, hugged him, and said, “It’s okay. It was an accident.” Just then, Amy’s mom came into the kitchen. “What happened?” Amy’s mom asked. “I was going to make you pancakes, but all of the eggs cracked,” replied Amy. “But, I made you something else!” Amy ran to her bedroom, where she kept her backpack. In class, Mrs. Thorton had given the students time to make special Mother’s Day cards. Amy’s card was perfect. She used her mom’s favorite colors and found pretty stickers to add. She opened her bag and began looking for the card. It wasn’t there! “Never mind,” Amy whispered as she went back to the kitchen, “I accidentally left my gift for you at school.” “That’s okay” mom responded, “We still have a whole day of fun together.” That reminded Amy of her next surprise. “I think we should go to the beach, your favorite place in the world. I have everything ready.” Amy cheered with joy. “My favorite!” smiled her mom. But when they opened the door, they saw a giant bolt of lightning crash across the sky. Amy slid down to the floor. “I wanted your day to be perfect, and everything is ruined!” she cried. “Do you want to know what is a perfect day for me?” asked her mom. “Any day spent with you, my favorite people.” Amy’s smile grew larger across her face. 24. What was the second surprise Amy wanted to show her mom? A. Making her mom pancakes. B. Buying her mom a beautiful gift. C. Going to the beach with her mom. D. Designing a special card for her mom. 25. Why did Amy plan these surprises for her mom? A. To make Mother’s Day perfect. B. To celebrate her mom’s birthday. C. To express her thanks to her mom. D. To remember the day with her favourite people. 26. What does a perfect day mean to Amy’s mom? A. Enjoying some delicious food. B. Spending time with her family. C. Watching the beautiful scenery. D. Receiving presents from her family. C What is your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk? The first time you watched a television program? Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences. It’s as if a curtain is drawn over the early years of our lives, hiding away countless precious moments. A variety of explanations have been suggested by psychologists for this “childhood amnesia”. Some proposed that the brain’s memory-forming structures aren’t fully developed in early childhood. Others thought it could be due to the lack of a sense of self-identity in young children. Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, fast-forgotten impressions of them into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them. Without this verbal reinforcement (语言强化), children cannot form permanent memories of what they have experienced. So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described? Dr. Simms presents evidence that the human mind organizes memories in that way—Children whose mothers talk with them about the day’s activities before bedtime tend to remember more of the day’s special event than those whose mothers don’t. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it. And learning to organize memories as a continuous story is the key to a permanent mental “autobiography (自传)” of important life events. Dr. Simms suggests that we humans may be biologically programmed to turn our life experiences into a novel. “The key to creating this mental life story is language,” says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment (建立) of long-term memories.” One way it does this is by helping a child to recognize that the retelling of an experience is just the experience itself, recreated in the form of words. The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child’s language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences. 27. According to the passage, how can children form long-term memories? A. They can create a story in their own ways. B. They can share their experiences with their parents. C. They can be patient to wait themselves to grow older. D. They can develop good relationships with their friends. 28. According to Dr. Simms, why can’t children form long-term memories before 3? A. Because they can’t remember their experiences. B. Because they haven’t developed enough language skills. C. Because they haven’t learned to write a novel by themselves. D. Because they can’t tell the differences between memories and experiences. 29. What is the passage mainly about? A. The link between childhood memories and storytelling skills. B. How language skills improve the ability to form long-term memories. C. How verbal reinforcement helps children create long-term memories. D. The difference between short-term and long-term memories in children. D As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are converted to digital form. Some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription (订阅). People who support this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book. They can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books. They can simply rent out as many digital copies as they need. However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets (平板电脑). First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet and book reading found that people read 20~30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause numerous physical discomfort, including dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, shoulder and back pain, muscle strain and so on. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens. Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, and keeping the community connected. One neighbourhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can’t offer nearly as well or as easily. While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the countless issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by simple object. 30. What does the word “access” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Find. B. Buy. C. Need. D. Offer. 31. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. People can read faster on tablets than on real books. B. Reading on tablets can improve people’s memories. C. People may find more reasons to read real books. D. Overusing tablets may lead to health problems. 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Tablets may replace libraries in the future. B. Reading on print books are better for learning. C. Print books can cost people more time to read. D. The main service of the library is lending books. 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A To compare tablets with real books. B. To stress the good points of libraries. C To encourage people to read more books. D. To advise communities to build more libraries. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（1至3每题2分，4题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 What Makes a Good Life? What if we could study people from the time that they were teenagers all the way into old age to see what really keeps people happy and healthy? Luckily for us, for many years now, we’ve conducted a study to answer this very question. The Harvard Study of Adult Development may be the longest study of adult life that has ever been done. So what have we learned from the tens of thousands of pages of information that we’ve generated on these lives? Well, the lessons aren’t about wealth or fame or hard work. The clearest message that we have gotten from this study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. We’ve learned three big lessons about relationships. Firstly, social connections are really good for us, and loneliness kills. People who are more closely connected to their family, friends and community are happier, physically healthier, and live longer lives than those who are less well-connected. The sad fact is that at any given time, more than one in five Americans will report that they’re lonely. And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd, so the second big lesson is that it’s not just the number of friends you have, but it’s the quality of your close relationships that matters. Besides protecting our bodies, good relationships help our memories stay sharper for a longer time. And those good relationships don’t have to be smooth all the time. Some couples could argue with each other day in and day out in their 80s, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments wouldn’t end up doing harm to their memories. So what about you? What might “leaning in to relationships” even look like? Well, the possibilities are practically endless. It might be something as simple as replacing screen time with people time, or changing a stale (腻烦的) relationship by doing something new together, or reaching out to that family member to whom you haven’t spoken in years. The good life is built with good relationships. 34. What can keep us happier and healthier? _______________________ 35. According to the passage, who can live longer lives? _______________________ 36. Besides protecting our bodies, what can good relationships bring to us? _______________________ 37.
