But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition, which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, has arrived in New York City. By focusing on more than 150 commercial ideas that didn’t succeed for various reasons, the exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about accepting and learning from failure, for example, new Coke, limeade-flavored Oreo cookies, crystal Pepsi and a “hula chair” for exercise. The exhibition is organized by Samuel West, a clinical psychologist who specializes in organizational science. He hopes it could help normalize and interpret the concept of failure, which he sees as a critical learning opportunity. “My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” West says. “And one of the big problems of innovation is the fear of failure.” Indeed, many of the brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two frustrated efforts stand in their way. For example, Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors, and both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are still booming. “People feel liberated when they see big well-known brands and companies that have a lot of money and skills and experience still fail when trying new things,” West says. “People feel liberated, like ‘big boys’ can fail, so why can’t we?” The exhibition has interactive features like a “Share Your Failure” wall, where visitors can write their own mistakes on sticky notes. West says, “We want people to take meaningful risks and learn from them. That’s where the action is, when it comes to innovation: People trying something new, accepting the level of risk that comes with it and learning from it if the new thing fails. You fail but you gain insight, build on it, try a different version, tinker(修补) and come back again with something better.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The fame of big brands. B. The difficulty of innovation. C. The purpose of the exhibition. D. The importance of fresh ideas. 5. What does Samuel West think of failure? A. Costly. B. Relative. C. Unavoidable. D. Valuable. 6. What do Samuel West’s words in paragraph 4 show? A. His exhibition is easy for people to understand. B. Big companies are supportive of the exhibition. C. The exhibition can help reduce people’s fear of failure. D. Innovation spirit is of great importance to big companies. 7. What did Samuel West suggest people do in terms of innovation? A. Try to avoid risks. B. Learn from failure. C. Refer to big brands’ ideas. D. Put all your energy into it. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是“失败博物馆”展览及其意义。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“By focusing on more than 150 commercial ideas that didn’t succeed for various reasons, the exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about accepting and learning from failure, for example, new Coke, limeade-flavored Oreo cookies, crystal Pepsi and a “hula chair” for exercise.(该展览聚焦于150多个因各种原因未能成功的商业创意，旨在激发人们关于接受失败并从失败中学习的讨论，例如新口味的可乐、青柠口味的奥利奥饼干、水晶百事可乐以及一款用于锻炼的呼啦椅。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是展览的目的。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He hopes it could help normalize and interpret the concept of failure, which he sees as a critical learning opportunity.(他希望这能帮助正常化和解释失败的概念，他认为这是一个重要的学习机会。)”可知，Samuel West认为失败是有价值的。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““People feel liberated when they see big well-known brands and companies that have a lot of money and skills and experience still fail when trying new things,” West says. “People feel liberated, like ‘big boys’ can fail, so why can’t we?”(“当人们看到那些拥有大量资金、技能和经验的大品牌和大公司在尝试新事物时仍然失败时，他们会感到解脱，”West说，“人们会感到解脱，就像‘大人物’也会失败一样，那么我们为什么不能呢？”)”可知，Samuel West在第四段的话说明了这个展览可以帮助减少人们对失败的恐惧。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“We want people to take meaningful risks and learn from them. That’s where the action is, when it comes to innovation: People trying something new, accepting the level of risk that comes with it and learning from it if the new thing fails.(我们希望人们能够承担有意义的风险并从中学习。当谈到创新时，这就是关键所在：人们尝试新事物，接受伴随而来的风险，如果新事物失败了，就从中吸取教训。)”可知，Samuel West在创新方面建议人们从失败中学习。故选B。 C It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out to be wrong. A recent study finds that the woman in the famous painting is actually gazing 15.4 degrees to the right of the viewer — well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. The study's author, Horstmann, said “She’s not really looking at you, which is kind of funny because people often think the subject’s gaze (凝视) in artworks or photos seems to follow them around. This is called the ‘Mona Lisa effect’. Even if someone is painted looking straight, viewers from different angles still feel they’re being looked at.” As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs. This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don’t cut the gaze of the character to that side. Surprisingly, this might give the impression that the character isn't looking at anyone. Instead, keep their gaze straight. Observers directly in front, within a reasonable angle, will feel the character's stare, thus improving interactivity. Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers had 24 people look at pictures of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer. They put a ruler between the screen and the viewer. They asked the people to see where Mona Lisa’s eyes met the ruler. They moved the ruler to measure Mona Lisa’s gaze. They found that most people thought Mona Lisa wasn’t looking directly at them, but a bit to their right. So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first came up with the name “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name. 8. It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa” ______. A. attracts the viewers to look back. B. seems mysterious because of her eyes. C. fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers. D. looks at the viewers wherever they stand. 9. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect? A. B. C. D. 10. The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to ____________. A. confirm Horstmann’s new discovery. B. create artificial-intelligence avatars. C. calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze. D. explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”. B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence. C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention. D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgement. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文。文章通过介绍一项关于达芬奇名画《蒙娜丽莎》中人物凝视方向的研究，解释了所谓的“蒙娜丽莎效应”实际上是一种误解，并探讨了该效应在人机交互中的应用，以及人们为何普遍认为画中人物在注视自己的心理原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. (众所周知，在莱昂纳多·达·芬奇最著名的画作中，这个女人似乎会回头看观察者，无论他们站在房间的哪个位置，她的眼睛都会跟着他们。)”可知，人们普遍认为，画中的女人“蒙娜丽莎”无论观众站在哪里，都要看着他们。故答案为D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs (只要人们凝视的角度不超过5度左右，就会出现蒙娜丽莎效应。)”可知，只要一个人的凝视的角度两边都不超过5度，蒙娜丽莎效应就会发生。故答案为B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers had 24 people look at pictures of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer. (霍斯特曼和他的合著者正在研究这一效应，以便将其应用于人工智能化身的创造中，这时霍斯特曼长时间地看了看《蒙娜丽莎》，发现她并没有在看他。为了确保不只是他，研究人员让24个人在电脑上看《蒙娜丽莎》的照片。)”可知，为了确保不仅仅是他一个人有这种感觉，研究人员让24个人在电脑屏幕上去看蒙娜丽莎的图像，以证实霍斯特曼的新发现。故答案为A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章最后一段中“It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first came up with the name “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name. (他说，有可能人们有被注视的欲望，所以他们认为这个女人在直视他们。或者，最初提出“蒙娜丽莎效应”这个名字的人只是觉得这个名字很酷。)”可知，被蒙娜丽莎凝视的感觉可能是因为渴望被关注。故答案为C。 D Around 1745, Chinese emperor and poet Qianlong was sailing on the Yangtze River toward Zhenjiang when he encountered a breathtaking sight: a group of Yangtze finless porpoises (海豚) emerged from the water’s surface. He wrote a poem about it. “Porpoises chased moonlight on silvered tides, as dragons summoned storm-clouds loom in sight.” Almost 300 years later, scientists wanted to chart the historical range of this critically endangered animal, so they searched hundreds of ancient Chinese poems to seek mentions of it, hoping to map its historical distribution (分布) and thus better understand threats to this species. The Yangtze finless porpoises, the world’s only freshwater porpoises, are found in China’s Yangtze River. About 1,250 individuals are left in the wild. “Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and relate those changes to potential threats like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, disease or the introduction of invasive species,” says Yaoyao Zhang, an ecologist at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhang and her team turned to ancient poems because official records rarely mentioned these animals. “Using an online database of Chinese literature, we searched for various historical names of the Yangtze finless porpoise across dynamic poetry, confirming each mention to ensure it referred to the porpoise and not other animals,” Zhang says. The research, published on Monday in Current Biology, revealed 724 poems that mentioned the porpoises. Half contained information about where they were seen. This window into the past revealed that the porpoises’ range has decreased by around 65 percent over 1,400 years, with a rapid decline in the past century. Poems from the distant past mentioned these animals living in tributaries (支流) and lakes along the Yangtze, but in more recent poems, these references dramatically decreased. This study builds on previous examples of using historical texts to understand species distributions and human-caused biodiversity losses. Next, the research team plans to further analyze the collected poems for more information about the past environment and porpoise groups. 12. Why did scientists study ancient Chinese poems? A. To analyze Qianlong’s poetry about natural phenomena. B. To track historical distribution of Yangtze finless porpoises. C. To prove ancient poems are more reliable than official records. D. To promote public awareness of freshwater species conservation. 13. What is special about Yangtze finless porpoises? A. They were first documented in Chinese ancient poetry. B. They are the only freshwater porpoises in the world. C. They began to drop in number 1,400 years ago. D. They can survive in both rivers and seawater. 14. How did researchers ensure the accuracy of porpoise references in poems? A. By focusing on poems only from the Qing Dynasty. B. By comparing poetry records with modern sightings. C. By checking historical names and dropping other animals. D. By working together with literature experts worldwide. 15. What does the research on ancient poems show? A. The number of Yangtze finless porpoises is increasing. B. The range of porpoises has decreased significantly. C. Climate change caused the most rapid decline. D. Official records contained more location data. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家通过研究中国古代诗歌来追踪长江江豚的历史分布情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Almost 300 years later, scientists wanted to chart the historical range of this critically endangered animal, so they searched hundreds of ancient Chinese poems to seek mentions of it, hoping to map its historical distribution (分布) and thus better understand threats to this species. (近300年后，科学家们想要绘制出这种极度濒危动物的历史分布范围，于是他们查阅了数百首中国古诗，寻找有关它的描述，希望能绘制出它的历史分布图，从而更好地了解这种物种面临的威胁。)”可知，科学家研究中国古代诗歌是为了追踪长江江豚的历史分布。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Yangtze finless porpoises, the world’s only freshwater porpoises, are found in China’s Yangtze River.(长江江豚是世界上唯一的淡水江豚，它们生活在中国的长江中。)”可知，长江江豚的特别之处在于它们是世界上唯一的淡水江豚。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““Using an online database of Chinese literature, we searched for various historical names of the Yangtze finless porpoise across dynamic poetry, confirming each mention to ensure it referred to the porpoise and not other animals,” Zhang says. (张说：“我们利用中国文学在线数据库，在动态诗歌中搜索了长江江豚的各种历史名称，并确认了每一处提及，以确保它指的是江豚而不是其他动物。”)”可知，研究人员通过检查历史名称并排除其他动物来确保诗歌中提及的江豚的准确性。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This window into the past revealed that the porpoises’ range has decreased by around 65 percent over 1,400 years, with a rapid decline in the past century. (这一窥视过去的窗口显示，在过去1400年里，江豚的活动范围减少了约65%，而在过去的一个世纪里，江豚的数量急剧下降。)”可知，这项关于古诗的研究表明江豚的活动范围显著减小。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。 There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers. Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. ____16____ The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer. Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today ____17____ When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead. Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. ____18____ Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. ____19____ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system? ____20____ Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another. A. Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health. B. You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps. C. It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family. D. The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change. E. People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves. F. If you’re not sure what will work, ask. G. Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何提高家庭和谐的重要性，以及如何通过情商来实现这一目标。 【16题详解】 根据前文“And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. (这就是为什么情商(EQ)能成功，而其他家庭和谐的努力却失败了。)”可知，此处强调的是情商能够有助于家庭和谐。后文应该对此进行解释。G选项“Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.(积极的意识和同理心告诉我们如何回应彼此的需求。)”中的“积极的意识和同理心”能够告诉我们如何回应家庭成员的需求，其属于EQ的具体体现，因此EQ能够有助于家庭和谐，与前文呼应。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Look to yourself first. (先看看你自己)”可知，此处强调的是从自己着手，不要把今天自己的样子归咎于原生家庭。A选项“Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.(解决家庭问题的最大希望是关注自己的情绪健康。)”中“关注自己的情绪健康”与前文呼应，即关注自己的情绪问题是能够解决家庭问题的最大希望。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据本段段旨“Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones.(认识到亲密并不意味着克隆人。)”以及“You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. (即使你和你的兄弟姐妹长得很像，你也不能指望拥有和他们一样的才能。)”可知，虽然与兄弟姐妹有着亲密的关系，但不意味着你们是一样的。B选项“You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.( 你并不一定会选择追随父母的脚步。)”承接前文指出，虽然家人们是亲密的，但是不一定会有着同样的才能，也不一定会选择追随亲人的脚步，故B选项符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据后文“ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities.(接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧，但运用你的情感意识和同理心，想想如何珍惜这一刻，因为它的独特品质。)”可知要学会接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧，运用情感意识和同理心珍惜当下的一刻。D选项“The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.(从情感上接受这个事实的最好方式，就是拥抱改变。)”引起下文，指出最好的方式就是要接受改变，与下文的“ Accept the natural fear”形成呼应，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past.(充分接受自己对变化的恐惧可能会让你更容易提出过去可能认为尴尬的问题。)”可知，此处强调接受变化的恐惧，能够让自己更能大胆地提出问题即强调大胆的提出问题，确定到底何种方式起作用。F选项“If you’re not sure what will work, ask.(如果你不确定什么会起作用，那就去问。)”与下文呼应，指出如果遇到不确定什么起作用则大胆询问，符合语境。故选F。 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) In the early hours of March 23, about 12 hours before our treasured 12-year-old son died of a rare form of brain cancer, I climbed into his hospital bed, ____21____ him in my arms and recited Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky.

The sun scorched (炙烤) down and everywhere you looked, you could see the heat waves blowing above the sand. John rolled over, realizing that half of his body was well and truly burnt. He had not meant to sleep in the sun but the heat and late nights studying for his examinations made him miserable. Stretching, he got to his feet, picked up his surfboard and looked around. The beach, which had earlier been crowded in the sun, was now comparatively empty. Seagulls flew down to clean up the food of people’s picnic lunches. The ice-cream van had gone, and so were the lifeguards who were doing first aid on the beach. John looked up to where the sun was and estimated it was about five o’clock. Time to head home. It was “Mum’s Kitchen Rule” that had him moving homewards. If he did not get home in time for dinner, he would go hungry. Wandering along the water’s edge, he happened to glance out to sea. What made him look up at that particular moment, he never knew, but it was the right time for the swimmer he spotted. His hand was up, signaling distress (险情) and he was calling out something. Quickly John glanced around the beach — no one else was close enough to help the man, and crucially, no one had noticed. Cupping his hands to his mouth, he shouted “Help” to get the attention of other people on the beach. Someone waved back to him and John pointed to the swimmer. “Get help,” he shouted. Then without hesitation, he jumped into the sea with his surfboard. John was a strong swimmer and had a good skill for distance swimming. His coach had tried hard to persuade him to go into competitions but he was not interested. 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。 Now he was swimming for more than enjoyment or medals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fortunately, the sea was not rough and there was no wave. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Now he was swimming for more than enjoyment or medals. He was swimming to save someone’s life. He swam very fast. “I must be close to him now,” he thought. Then he heard the man cry anxiously. “Help me, I’m hurt.” As John reached him, he started to reassure him, “It’s OK, mister. I’ll get you to the shore.” “Easier said than done,” John thought to himself. “This man’s big.” He helped the man get on his board. Fortunately, the sea was not rough and there was no wave. As John reached the shallow water, willing hands appeared to help carry the man ashore. John sat down and began to recover his breath. A small crowd gathered around the swimmer. “They must know what to do,” John thought with relief, reaching for his board and standing up. He figured that since no one needed him, he had better go home before he missed out on his dinner. No one noticed him leave. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了约翰正准备从海边回家，发现海中有一个人的手举着，表示遇险，他在喊什么。约翰迅速扫视了一下海滩——没有其他人离得足够近来帮助这个人，关键的是，没有人注意到他。他把双手捧在嘴上，大喊“救命”，以引起海滩上其他人的注意。他毫不犹豫地拿着冲浪板跳进了海里。约翰是一名游泳健将，而且擅长长距离游泳。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“现在，他游泳不仅仅是为了享受或获得奖牌。”可知，第一段可以描写约翰进入海中后二人的交流和约翰对他的救助。 ②由第二段句首内容“幸运的是，海面并不汹涌，没有波浪。”可知，第二段可以描写翰进把人救上岸后的心理活动人们的反应。 2.续写线索：跳入海中——努力救人——上岸——有人帮忙——回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拯救：save/ rescue ②呼喊：cry/ shout ③开始：start/ begin 情绪类 ①焦急地：anxiously/ worriedly ②欣慰地：with relief/ thankfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】As John reached him, he started to reassure him, “It’s OK, mister.

B When a new product totally fails, companies typically try to move on as quickly as possible and put all of their energy into developing fresh ideas that they hope will catch on. But the Museum of Failure never forgets. This traveling exhibition, which was first launched in Sweden in 2017, has arrived in New York City. By focusing on more than 150 commercial ideas that didn’t succeed for various reasons, the exhibition aims to stimulate discussion about accepting and learning from failure, for example, new Coke, limeade-flavored Oreo cookies, crystal Pepsi and a “hula chair” for exercise. The exhibition is organized by Samuel West, a clinical psychologist who specializes in organizational science. He hopes it could help normalize and interpret the concept of failure, which he sees as a critical learning opportunity. “My research is focused on helping organizations to be more innovative,” West says. “And one of the big problems of innovation is the fear of failure.” Indeed, many of the brands featured in the Museum of Failure haven’t let one or two frustrated efforts stand in their way. For example, Oreo has made plenty of delicious new flavors, and both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are still booming. “People feel liberated when they see big well-known brands and companies that have a lot of money and skills and experience still fail when trying new things,” West says. “People feel liberated, like ‘big boys’ can fail, so why can’t we?” The exhibition has interactive features like a “Share Your Failure” wall, where visitors can write their own mistakes on sticky notes. West says, “We want people to take meaningful risks and learn from them. That’s where the action is, when it comes to innovation: People trying something new, accepting the level of risk that comes with it and learning from it if the new thing fails. You fail but you gain insight, build on it, try a different version, tinker(修补) and come back again with something better.” 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The fame of big brands. B. The difficulty of innovation. C. The purpose of the exhibition. D The importance of fresh ideas. 5. What does Samuel West think of failure? A. Costly. B. Relative. C. Unavoidable. D. Valuable. 6. What do Samuel West’s words in paragraph 4 show? A. His exhibition is easy for people to understand. B. Big companies are supportive of the exhibition. C. The exhibition can help reduce people’s fear of failure. D. Innovation spirit is of great importance to big companies. 7. What did Samuel West suggest people do in terms of innovation? A. Try to avoid risks. B. Learn from failure. C. Refer to big brands’ ideas. D. Put all your energy into it. C It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out to be wrong. A recent study finds that the woman in the famous painting is actually gazing 15.4 degrees to the right of the viewer — well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. The study's author, Horstmann, said “She’s not really looking at you, which is kind of funny because people often think the subject’s gaze (凝视) in artworks or photos seems to follow them around. This is called the ‘Mona Lisa effect’. Even if someone is painted looking straight, viewers from different angles still feel they’re being looked at.” As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs. This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her, you don’t cut the gaze of the character to that side. Surprisingly, this might give the impression that the character isn't looking at anyone. Instead, keep their gaze straight. Observers directly in front, within a reasonable angle, will feel the character's stare, thus improving interactivity. Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers had 24 people look at pictures of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer. They put a ruler between the screen and the viewer. They asked the people to see where Mona Lisa’s eyes met the ruler. They moved the ruler to measure Mona Lisa’s gaze. They found that most people thought Mona Lisa wasn’t looking directly at them, but a bit to their right. So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first came up with the name “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name. 8. It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa” ______. A. attracts the viewers to look back. B. seems mysterious because of her eyes. C. fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers. D. looks at the viewers wherever they stand. 9. What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect? A. B. C. D. 10. The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to ____________. A. confirm Horstmann’s new discovery. B. create artificial-intelligence avatars. C. calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze. D. explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied. 11. What can we learn from the passage? A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”. B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence. C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention. D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgement. D Around 1745, Chinese emperor and poet Qianlong was sailing on the Yangtze River toward Zhenjiang when he encountered a breathtaking sight: a group of Yangtze finless porpoises (海豚) emerged from the water’s surface. He wrote a poem about it. “Porpoises chased moonlight on silvered tides, as dragons summoned storm-clouds loom in sight.” Almost 300 years later, scientists wanted to chart the historical range of this critically endangered animal, so they searched hundreds of ancient Chinese poems to seek mentions of it, hoping to map its historical distribution (分布) and thus better understand threats to this species. The Yangtze finless porpoises, the world’s only freshwater porpoises, are found in China’s Yangtze River. About 1,250 individuals are left in the wild. “Having access to past data allows us to detect when declines began and relate those changes to potential threats like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, disease or the introduction of invasive species,” says Yaoyao Zhang, an ecologist at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhang and her team turned to ancient poems because official records rarely mentioned these animals. “Using an online database of Chinese literature, we searched for various historical names of the Yangtze finless porpoise across dynamic poetry, confirming each mention to ensure it referred to the porpoise and not other animals,” Zhang says. The research, published on Monday in Current Biology, revealed 724 poems that mentioned the porpoises. Half contained information about where they were seen. This window into the past revealed that the porpoises’ range has decreased by around 65 percent over 1,400 years, with a rapid decline in the past century. Poems from the distant past mentioned these animals living in tributaries (支流) and lakes along the Yangtze, but in more recent poems, these references dramatically decreased. This study builds on previous examples of using historical texts to understand species distributions and human-caused biodiversity losses. Next, the research team plans to further analyze the collected poems for more information about the past environment and porpoise groups. 12. Why did scientists study ancient Chinese poems? A. To analyze Qianlong’s poetry about natural phenomena. B. To track historical distribution of Yangtze finless porpoises. C. To prove ancient poems are more reliable than official records. D. To promote public awareness of freshwater species conservation. 13. What is special about Yangtze finless porpoises? A. They were first documented in Chinese ancient poetry. B. They are the only freshwater porpoises in the world. C. They began to drop in number 1,400 years ago. D. They can survive in both rivers and seawater. 14. How did researchers ensure the accuracy of porpoise references in poems? A. By focusing on poems only from the Qing Dynasty. B. By comparing poetry records with modern sightings. C. By checking historical names and dropping other animals. D. By working together with literature experts worldwide. 15. What does the research on ancient poems show? A The number of Yangtze finless porpoises is increasing. B. The range of porpoises has decreased significantly. C. Climate change caused the most rapid decline. D. Official records contained more location data. 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。 There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers. Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. ____16____ The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer. Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today ____17____ When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead. Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. ____18____ Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. ____19____ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system? ____20____ Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another. A. Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health. B. You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps. C. It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family. D. The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change. E. People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves. F. If you’re not sure what will work, ask. G. Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs. 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) In the early hours of March 23, about 12 hours before our treasured 12-year-old son died of a rare form of brain cancer, I climbed into his hospital bed, ____21____ him in my arms and recited Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky.

The sun scorched (炙烤) down and everywhere you looked, you could see the heat waves blowing above the sand. John rolled over, realizing that half of his body was well and truly burnt. He had not meant to sleep in the sun but the heat and late nights studying for his examinations made him miserable. Stretching, he got to his feet, picked up his surfboard and looked around. The beach, which had earlier been crowded in the sun, was now comparatively empty. Seagulls flew down to clean up the food of people’s picnic lunches. The ice-cream van had gone, and so were the lifeguards who were doing first aid on the beach. John looked up to where the sun was and estimated it was about five o’clock. Time to head home. It was “Mum’s Kitchen Rule” that had him moving homewards. If he did not get home in time for dinner, he would go hungry. Wandering along the water’s edge, he happened to glance out to sea. What made him look up at that particular moment, he never knew, but it was the right time for the swimmer he spotted. His hand was up, signaling distress (险情) and he was calling out something. Quickly John glanced around the beach — no one else was close enough to help the man, and crucially, no one had noticed. Cupping his hands to his mouth, he shouted “Help” to get the attention of other people on the beach. Someone waved back to him and John pointed to the swimmer. “Get help,” he shouted. Then without hesitation, he jumped into the sea with his surfboard. John was a strong swimmer and had a good skill for distance swimming. His coach had tried hard to persuade him to go into competitions but he was not interested. 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。 Now he was swimming for more than enjoyment or medals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fortunately, the sea was not rough and there was no wave. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
