B Andrea Lankford quit her job after spending 12 years as a National Park Service forester specializing in search and rescue missions in scenic and remote American landscapes. However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them. Trail of the Lost was her answer. It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey. The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search. Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations. The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT. Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek. 4. What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost? A. Her love for her prior career. B Her strong attachment to the PCT. C. The stress from the missing families. D. Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance. 5. What is presented on the second level of the book? A. Efforts by different people in searches. B. A string of wilderness survival tips. C. Approaches to information classification. D. Respective stories of the three hikers. 6. What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures? A. To promote her book. B. To make her a celebrity. C. To motivate hikers to challenge themselves. D. To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT. 7. What can we say about the book? A. It targets single youth. B. It’s a romantic novel. C. It’s based on actual events. D It’s a detailed account of a journey. C AI has advanced significantly over the years. However, its current models largely disregard human psychology, such as emotional intelligence. “The main focus of our work was how we could bring the emotional part of intelligence to AI,” says Saptarshi Das, associate professor at Penn State. “Human behavior is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it difficult to replicate (复制) in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent. There is no real way right now to do that.” Eating habits serve as a prime example of this emotional intelligence. While hunger is the physiological drive to eat, our choices of what to eat are influenced by our sense of taste. As Das explains, even when one is not hungry, the psychological desire can drive him or her to consume a sweet treat, rather than a piece of meat. To grasp the intricacies (错综复杂的细节) of taste, Penn State researchers looked to the human tongue, which translates chemical data into electrical signals sent to the brain’s gustatory cortex (味觉皮层). In this brain region, complex neuronal networks shape our sense of taste. To imitate this, the team created an electronic “tongue”. This technology can be adapted to recognize all primary taste characteristics, from sweet and salty to umami (鲜味). Looking ahead, the researchers see numerous applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or tailored restaurant meal suggestions. The team’s immediate goal is to expand the electronic tongue’s capacity. “We are trying to imitate the 10,000 or so taste receptors (味蕾) we have on our tongue that are each slightly different compared to the others, which enables us to distinguish between small differences in tastes,” says Das. “The example I think of is people who train their tongue and become a wine taster. Perhaps in the future, we can have an AI system that you can train to be an even better wine taster.” Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more comprehensive and emotionally intelligent AI system. 8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A. It is necessary to make robots emotionally intelligent. B. It is hard to make robots emotionally intelligent. C. Emotional intelligence is complex and difficult to observe. D. Few researchers pay attention to emotional intelligence of AI. 9. What might this electronic tongue be applied to in the future? A. Evaluating people’s diet plans. B. Designing a healthier diet plan for people. C. Correcting people’s poor dietary preferences. D. Helping restaurants serve customers better. 10. What is the team’s plan according to the last two paragraphs? A. Improving people’s taste sensitivity with the electronic tongue. B. Making the electronic tongue available for everyone. C. Bringing all the human senses into the AI system. D. Attracting the attention of other researchers to AI’s innovation. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The progress in bringing emotional intelligence into AI. B. The advantage of the “electronic tongue”. C. The future development trend of AI. D. The big role of AI in developing emotional intelligence. D Earlier studies suggested that fatigue from virtual meetings stems from mental overload, but new research from Aalto University shows that sleepiness during virtual meetings might actually be a result of mental underload and boredom. “I expected to find that people get stressed in remote meetings. But the result was the opposite —— especially those who were not engaged in their work quickly became drowsy during remote meetings, “says Assistant Professor Niina Nurmi, who led the study. The researchers measured heart rate variability during virtual meetings and face-to-face meetings,examining different types of fatigue experiences among 44 knowledge workers across nearly 400 meetings. The team at Aalto collaborated with researchers at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health,where stress and recovery are studied using heart rate monitors. “We shadowed each subject for two workdays, recording all events with time stamps, to find out the sources of human physiological responses,”Nurmi says. The study also included a questionnaire to identify people’s general attitude and work engagement. ”The format of a meeting had little effect on people who were highly engaged and enthusiastic about their work. They were able to stay active even during virtual meetings. On the other hand, workers whose work engagement was low and who were not very enthusiastic about their work found virtual meetings very tiring. “ It’s easier to maintain focus in face-to-face meetings than virtual ones, as the latter have limited cognitive cues and sensory input. “Especially when cameras are off, the participant is left under-stimulated and may start to compensate by multitasking,” Nurmi explains. Although an appropriate level of stimulation is generally beneficial for the brain, multitasking during virtual meetings is problematic. Only highly automated tasks, such as walking, can be properly carried out during a virtual meeting. “Walking and other automated activities can boost your energy levels and help you to concentrate on the meeting. But if you’re trying to focus on two things that require cognitive attention simultaneously, you can’t hear if something important is happening in the meeting. Alternatively, you have to constantly switch between tasks. It’s really taxing for the brain,”Nurmi says. 12. How does Niina Nurmi feel about the result of the research? A. Confused. B. Confident. C. Surprised. D. Optimistic. 13. What does the underlined word “shadowed ”in paragraph 3 mean? A. Observed. B. Interviewed. C. Employed. D. Analyzed. 14. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Limited sensory input increases stimulation. B. Turning off cameras boosts task switching. C. Automated tasks stimulate constant switches. D. Too little stimulation can cause multitasking. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. How remote meetings differ from face-to-face ones. B. Why cognitive attention in virtual meetings decreases. C. What role a person’s personality plays in remote meetings. D. Where the problem with the present meeting formats lies. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). ____16____ Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. ____17____ Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. ____18____ “I used to hate parties and I was distant from my friends.” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. ____19____ Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. ____20____ There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.” A. Songs sound like noise to an amusic. B. Now she knows that she is not alone. C. The notes sound different to an amusic. D. She felt lonely while staying away from others. E. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. F. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. G. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. 第三部分 语言运用(共五节，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。 I have always enjoyed cold climates and connecting to the environment.

They climbed trees, raced toy cars, and sometimes even built the tallest block towers. But this day was special. It was almost Father’s Day! "Hey, guys! We need to do something super special for our daddies!" exclaimed Max, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Like what?" asked Leo, scratching his head. Leo had a big head of curly hair that bounced when he thought. "We should make them a present — something with our own hands!" Max said, waving his arms in the air. "What about a card? A super-duper thank-you card! We can fill it with love!" Sam cheered. And just like that, the boys decided to create the most magical Father’s Day card ever! The next day, the boys gathered in Max's backyard. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and butterflies danced in the air like little fairies. Carefully, they prepared colored paper, markers, glitter, and lots of stickers. The boys spread out all their supplies on the grass. Max started drawing a big, funny face on the front of the card. "Let me add mustaches!" laughed Leo, drawing thick, curly mustaches all over the big face. "And I'll put stickers everywhere!" Sam squealed, sticking shiny stars, hearts, and smiley faces all around. The little guys also decided to write special messages on it to express their love. "Now we need to add something magical. How about we make it sing?" Max said, revealing a tiny music box he found in his toy chest. They carefully opened the card and placed the music box inside. When the card opened, it would play a cheerful tune! With laughter and joy, they finished decorating the card, and it looked bright and magical, just like their daddies. 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。 On Father’s Day morning, the boys were bubbling (洋溢) with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boys sat together in Max’s backyard, watching their daddies enjoying their magic cards. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 海安中学高一下学期英语3月检测 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What will the woman do next?

However, decades later, three young hikers went missing on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). She found herself unable to turn away from the three separate cases despite challenges in the inquiry into them. Trail of the Lost was her answer. It’s an absorbing nonfiction narrative (叙事) about the three hikers, including their lives and those of the people looking for them. It also explores the history of the PCT and the rich subculture, practices and even literature that surround it and those who undertake the 2,650-mile journey. The book is a rich multilayered narrative that works on three different levels. The first is the story of each of the three hikers. Lankford offers a biography (传记) of each of the missing men and shows them through the eyes of those who knew them well and those who joined the search. Right underneath the narratives about the three hikers are the stories of everyone looking for them. Lankford played a role in each search but she allowed friends, family and even strangers to occupy center stage throughout most of the narrative. The story looks at the role of missing person Facebook groups in the searches and how crucial word of mouth can be. Many warm-hearted individuals came forth and became instrumental in the searches or provided valuable information. But Lankford also writes of the many who lied for no apparent reason and confused the investigations. The narrative also shines a light on diverse aspects of the PCT. Lankford, who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and was the first person to mountain bike the 800-mile Arizona Trail, knows just how the PCT is physically and mentally demanding. Besides, the book explores threats from mountain lions to people with bad intentions who don’t observe the PCT’s unspoken moral rules, serving as a revelation of the well-known, hidden or ignored dangers of the PCT. Written with a clear, fast-paced, straightforward style, Trail of the Lost is as full of hope and humanity as it is packed with pain, sorrow, danger and tension. Read it and you’ll find more than you seek. 4. What led Lankford to write Trail of the Lost? A. Her love for her prior career. B. Her strong attachment to the PCT. C. The stress from the missing families. D. Her investigation into hikers’ disappearance. 5. What is presented on the second level of the book? A. Efforts by different people in searches. B. A string of wilderness survival tips. C. Approaches to information classification. D. Respective stories of the three hikers. 6. What’s the purpose of mentioning Lankford’s previous adventures? A. To promote her book. B. To make her a celebrity. C. To motivate hikers to challenge themselves. D. To stress the difficulty of hiking the PCT. 7. What can we say about the book? A. It targets single youth. B. It’s a romantic novel. C. It’s based on actual events. D. It’s a detailed account of a journey. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7.

However, its current models largely disregard human psychology, such as emotional intelligence. “The main focus of our work was how we could bring the emotional part of intelligence to AI,” says Saptarshi Das, associate professor at Penn State. “Human behavior is easy to observe but difficult to measure and that makes it difficult to replicate (复制) in a robot and make it emotionally intelligent. There is no real way right now to do that.” Eating habits serve as a prime example of this emotional intelligence. While hunger is the physiological drive to eat, our choices of what to eat are influenced by our sense of taste. As Das explains, even when one is not hungry, the psychological desire can drive him or her to consume a sweet treat, rather than a piece of meat. To grasp the intricacies (错综复杂的细节) of taste, Penn State researchers looked to the human tongue, which translates chemical data into electrical signals sent to the brain’s gustatory cortex (味觉皮层). In this brain region, complex neuronal networks shape our sense of taste. To imitate this, the team created an electronic “tongue”. This technology can be adapted to recognize all primary taste characteristics, from sweet and salty to umami (鲜味). Looking ahead, the researchers see numerous applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or tailored restaurant meal suggestions. The team’s immediate goal is to expand the electronic tongue’s capacity. “We are trying to imitate the 10,000 or so taste receptors (味蕾) we have on our tongue that are each slightly different compared to the others, which enables us to distinguish between small differences in tastes,” says Das. “The example I think of is people who train their tongue and become a wine taster. Perhaps in the future, we can have an AI system that you can train to be an even better wine taster.” Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more comprehensive and emotionally intelligent AI system. 8. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs? A. It is necessary to make robots emotionally intelligent. B. It is hard to make robots emotionally intelligent. C. Emotional intelligence is complex and difficult to observe. D. Few researchers pay attention to emotional intelligence of AI. 9. What might this electronic tongue be applied to in the future? A. Evaluating people’s diet plans. B. Designing a healthier diet plan for people. C. Correcting people’s poor dietary preferences. D. Helping restaurants serve customers better. 10. What is the team’s plan according to the last two paragraphs? A. Improving people’s taste sensitivity with the electronic tongue. B. Making the electronic tongue available for everyone. C. Bringing all the human senses into the AI system. D. Attracting the attention of other researchers to AI’s innovation. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The progress in bringing emotional intelligence into AI. B. The advantage of the “electronic tongue”. C. The future development trend of AI. D. The big role of AI in developing emotional intelligence. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11.

There is no real way right now to do that.(人类的行为很容易观察，但很难测量，因此很难在机器人身上复制人类的行为，也很难让机器人具备情商。目前还没有真正的办法做到这一点)”可知，很难使机器人具有情感智能。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Looking ahead, the researchers see numerous applications, including AI-designed diets based on emotional preferences or tailored restaurant meal suggestions.(展望未来，研究人员看到了许多应用，包括基于情感偏好的人工智能设计饮食或量身定制的餐厅用餐建议)”可知，这种电子舌头将来会帮助餐馆更好地为顾客服务。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The team’s immediate goal is to expand the electronic tongue’s capacity.(该团队的近期目标是扩大电子舌头的容量)”最后一段“Beyond taste, the team wants to broaden this concept to other senses, leading to a more comprehensive and emotionally intelligent AI system. (除了味觉之外，该团队还希望将这一概念扩展到其他感官，从而开发出更全面、情商更高的人工智能系统)”可知，团队的计划是将人类的所有感官带入人工智能系统。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“AI has advanced significantly over the years. However, its current models largely disregard human psychology, such as emotional intelligence (人工智能多年来取得了显著进步。然而，它目前的模型在很大程度上忽视了人类的心理，比如情商)”以及第四段“To grasp the intricacies (错综复杂的细节) of taste, Penn State researchers looked to the human tongue, which translates chemical data into electrical signals sent to the brain’s gustatory cortex (味觉皮层). In this brain region, complex neuronal networks shape our sense of taste. To imitate this, the team created an electronic “tongue”. (为了掌握错综复杂的味觉，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员将目光投向了人类的舌头，它将化学数据转化为电信号，发送到大脑的味觉皮层。在这个大脑区域，复杂的神经网络塑造了我们的味觉。为了模仿这一点，研究小组创造了一种电子“舌头”)”结合文章主要说明了为了让人工智能更好地具备情商，研究人员创造了一种电子“舌头”。这项技术可以用来识别所有主要的味道特征，从甜、咸到鲜味。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是将情商引入人工智能的进展。故选A。 D Earlier studies suggested that fatigue from virtual meetings stems from mental overload, but new research from Aalto University shows that sleepiness during virtual meetings might actually be a result of mental underload and boredom. “I expected to find that people get stressed in remote meetings. But the result was the opposite —— especially those who were not engaged in their work quickly became drowsy during remote meetings, “says Assistant Professor Niina Nurmi, who led the study. The researchers measured heart rate variability during virtual meetings and face-to-face meetings,examining different types of fatigue experiences among 44 knowledge workers across nearly 400 meetings. The team at Aalto collaborated with researchers at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health,where stress and recovery are studied using heart rate monitors. “We shadowed each subject for two workdays, recording all events with time stamps, to find out the sources of human physiological responses,”Nurmi says. The study also included a questionnaire to identify people’s general attitude and work engagement. ”The format of a meeting had little effect on people who were highly engaged and enthusiastic about their work. They were able to stay active even during virtual meetings. On the other hand, workers whose work engagement was low and who were not very enthusiastic about their work found virtual meetings very tiring. “ It’s easier to maintain focus in face-to-face meetings than virtual ones, as the latter have limited cognitive cues and sensory input. “Especially when cameras are off, the participant is left under-stimulated and may start to compensate by multitasking,” Nurmi explains. Although an appropriate level of stimulation is generally beneficial for the brain, multitasking during virtual meetings is problematic. Only highly automated tasks, such as walking, can be properly carried out during a virtual meeting. “Walking and other automated activities can boost your energy levels and help you to concentrate on the meeting. But if you’re trying to focus on two things that require cognitive attention simultaneously, you can’t hear if something important is happening in the meeting. Alternatively, you have to constantly switch between tasks. It’s really taxing for the brain,”Nurmi says. 12. How does Niina Nurmi feel about the result of the research? A. Confused. B. Confident. C. Surprised. D. Optimistic. 13. What does the underlined word “shadowed ”in paragraph 3 mean? A. Observed. B. Interviewed. C. Employed. D. Analyzed. 14. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Limited sensory input increases stimulation. B. Turning off cameras boosts task switching. C. Automated tasks stimulate constant switches. D. Too little stimulation can cause multitasking. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. How remote meetings differ from face-to-face ones. B. Why cognitive attention in virtual meetings decreases. C. What role a person’s personality plays in remote meetings. D. Where the problem with the present meeting formats lies. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述新研究表明虚拟会议期间的困倦的原因实际上可能是精神负荷不足和无聊的结果 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容““I expected to find that people get stressed in remote meetings. But the result was the opposite —— especially those who were not engaged in their work quickly became drowsy during remote meetings,“says Assistant Professor Niina Nurmi,who led the study.( “我预料到会发现人们在远程会议中感到压力。但结果恰恰相反——尤其是那些没有投入工作的人在远程会议期间很快就会昏昏欲睡，”领导这项研究的助理教授尼娜·努尔米(Niina Nurmi)说。)”可推断，尼娜·努尔米对于研究结果是吃惊的。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“recording all events with time stamps, to find out the sources of human physiological responses(用时间戳记录所有事件，以找出人类生理反应的来源)”可推断，“我们”观察个体并记录，为了弄清楚他们的生理反应。划线词与A项“观察”意思相近。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题 。根据倒数第二段的“Especially when cameras are off, the participant is left under-stimulated and may start to compensate by multitasking(尤其是当摄像头关闭时，参与者受到的刺激不足，可能会开始用多任务处理来弥补。)”可知，太少的刺激会导致多任务处理。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Earlier studies suggested that fatigue from virtual meetings stems from mental overload, but new research from Aalto University shows that sleepiness during virtual meetings might actually be a result of mental underload and boredom.(早期的研究表明，虚拟会议带来的疲劳源于精神负荷过重，但阿尔托大学的新研究表明，虚拟会议期间的困倦实际上可能是精神负荷不足和无聊的结果)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了虚拟会议期间的困倦的原因实际上可能是精神负荷不足和无聊的结果，分析了虚拟会议期间认真注意力降低的原因。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). ____16____ Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. ____17____ Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. ____18____ “I used to hate parties and I was distant from my friends.” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. ____19____ Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. ____20____ There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.” A. Songs sound like noise to an amusic. B. Now she knows that she is not alone. C. The notes sound different to an amusic. D. She felt lonely while staying away from others. E. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. F. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. G. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了音盲这一群体，以及他们对此的感受和因此面临的问题。 【16题详解】 根据上文“People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调).(音盲天生就没有识别或再现音符的能力)”可知，这些人很难区分歌曲。下文“Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.(只有当两个音符在音阶上相距很远，他们才能听到它们之间的区别)”也说明他们欠缺这种能力。选项F“Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs.(音盲总是无法区分两首歌的区别)”也是在讲这种能力的缺乏，与上下文关联紧密。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other.(许多音盲把音乐的声音比作金属片互相撞击)”可知，音乐对他们而言，并不美妙，像金属互撞的噪音。选项A“Songs sound like noise to an amusic.(对音盲而言，歌曲听起来像噪音)”与下文关联紧密。故选A项。 18题详解】 根据上文“That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music.(这就是为什么许多音盲故意远离有音乐的地方)”可知，这些人想要远离有音乐的场所、场合，这就是一种退缩，这种现象容易造成与社会的脱节，被孤立。选项E“However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation.(然而，这可能导致退缩和社会孤立)”将这种现象呈现出来，与上文关联紧密。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech.(音盲能很好地理解其他非音乐声音。他们理解普通的言语也没有问题)”可知，这些人只是对音乐这一种声音的理解有障碍，这和红绿色盲很相似，也是看不清特定颜色。选项G“Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.(科学家们把音盲比作看不清特定颜色的人)”，与上文关联紧密。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music.(当他们的病情最终被诊断出来时，许多音盲都很高兴。多年来，Margaret一直对自己的音乐声音问题感到尴尬)”可知，这些人没接受诊断前，都因为这个问题感到苦恼，觉得自己很另类。由此推知，空处陈述他们确诊后的表现或反映。选项B“Now she knows that she is not alone.(现在她知道了，并非她一个人有这个问题)”符合题意。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用(共五节，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。 I have always enjoyed cold climates and connecting to the environment.

They climbed trees, raced toy cars, and sometimes even built the tallest block towers. But this day was special. It was almost Father’s Day! "Hey, guys! We need to do something super special for our daddies!" exclaimed Max, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Like what?" asked Leo, scratching his head. Leo had a big head of curly hair that bounced when he thought. "We should make them a present — something with our own hands!" Max said, waving his arms in the air. "What about a card? A super-duper thank-you card! We can fill it with love!" Sam cheered. And just like that, the boys decided to create the most magical Father’s Day card ever! The next day, the boys gathered in Max's backyard. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and butterflies danced in the air like little fairies. Carefully, they prepared colored paper, markers, glitter, and lots of stickers. The boys spread out all their supplies on the grass. Max started drawing a big, funny face on the front of the card. "Let me add mustaches!" laughed Leo, drawing thick, curly mustaches all over the big face. "And I'll put stickers everywhere!" Sam squealed, sticking shiny stars, hearts, and smiley faces all around. The little guys also decided to write special messages on it to express their love. "Now we need to add something magical. How about we make it sing?" Max said, revealing a tiny music box he found in his toy chest. They carefully opened the card and placed the music box inside. When the card opened, it would play a cheerful tune! With laughter and joy, they finished decorating the card, and it looked bright and magical, just like their daddies. 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。 On Father’s Day morning, the boys were bubbling (洋溢) with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The boys sat together in Max’s backyard, watching their daddies enjoying their magic cards. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： On Father’s Day morning, the boys were bubbling (洋溢) with excitement.
