Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth. A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes. Green has never avoided challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my path very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness. “I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin,” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.” In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. 4. What troubled Green upon her graduation? A. Poor academic performance. B. A tough job-hunting situation. C. Lack of writing opportunities. D. Failure in a volunteer program. 5. Why did Green take random writing jobs? A. To realize her dream soon. B. To gain wide recognition. C. To earn a living temporarily. D. To learn different writing styles. 6. What matters most to her career according to Green? A. Handling refusal bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin. C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey. 7. What may be the author’s attitude towards Green? A. Admiring. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D. Objective. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Green在面对求职困境时，通过不懈努力和坚持梦想，最终在写作领域取得显著成就的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. (就在她大学毕业时，一场金融危机席卷全国，使得在新闻业找到工作变得困难)”可知，Green毕业时面临艰难的求职环境。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. (一年后，Green开始接受一些随机的写作工作来维持生计，同时梦想着有一天她能自由写作并得到报酬)”可知，Green接受随机的写作工作是为了暂时谋生。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection. (作为一名作家，你在乎别人对你的看法是没有好处的。你必须在情感上做好面对拒绝的准备)”可知，Green认为对她的职业生涯最重要的是勇敢地面对拒绝。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. (在过去的十年里，Green在没有很多榜样可以效仿的情况下，通过巨大的努力取得了显著的成功。她获得了固定的写作职位，曾在受人尊敬的期刊工作过，登上了福布斯30岁以下30人榜单，并写了一本世界级的畅销书。按照任何年轻记者的定义，Green已经成功了)”可知，作者对Green的态度是钦佩的。故选A。 C Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate (震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University. VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioEleotronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus (下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid (胃液) breaking down a coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste: The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it. “Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and ca lorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. “The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.” Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans. 8. What is the outcome of taking the pill? A. Liquid production. B. Food storage. C. Sensation of fullness. D. Recovery of users. 9. Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Its working principle. B. Its intelligence. C. Its testing history. D. Its side effect. 10. What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device? A. To produce gastric fluid with it. B. To destroy the coat around it. C. To fix it in human body. D. To remove solid waste from it. 11. What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device? A. Worried. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Confused. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。麻省理工学院的研究人员发明了一种高科技药丸，一旦它与使用者胃里的液体接触，就会开始振动，让他或她有饱腹感。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate (震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. (麻省理工学院的研究人员发明了一种高科技药丸，一旦它与使用者胃里的液体接触，就会开始振动，让他或她有饱腹感)”可知，吃下药丸会有饱腹感。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus (下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid (胃液) breaking down a coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. (显然，这种革命性的装置通过激活胃中的拉伸受体来模拟食物的存在。这反过来又向下丘脑发出信号，使我们感到饱腹的激素水平升高。振动刺激器大约有维生素药丸大小，由封装的电池供电，通过胃液分解药丸周围的涂层或通过内置的计时器激活)”可知，第二段在说设备的工作原理。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans.(研究人员目前正在探索扩大VIBES胶囊生产规模的方法，这可能使其能够在人体内进行临床试验)”可知，设备的最终目标是植入人体内。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients. (该设备有可能彻底改变减肥治疗的选择。然而，未来的研究需要在患者使用该设备之前探索其生理效果)”可推知，Giovanni Traverso对设备的将来持谨慎的态度。故选B项。 D In many languages, the word for “mother/mom” takes an m-sound. Is there any reason for such near-universality? Linguists(语言学家) generally argue for “the arbitrariness of the sign”: no connection exists between the word dog and the furry quadruped. A rare exception is onomatopoeia, where words representing the bark of a dog (bow-wow) and the buzz made by a bee are more or less similar to the sound. Yet most things are not subject to naming this way. What about mama? It does not sound like a mother, but the fact is that some sounds are more widespread than others around the world. There are many dozens of observed consonants which are rare and hard for non-natives to learn. In contrast a few—such as b, m, p, t, d and k—show up far more frequently, in nearly every spoken language in the world. That is almost certainly because they are easy to make. A baby vocalising will, at first, make a vowel-like sound, usually something like “ah”, which requires little in the way of control over the mouth. If they briefly close their mouth and continue vocalising, air will come out of their nose, thus making the m-sound that is used in “mother” around the world. Though the “mamas” bear the most obvious similarity, the “papas” have striking commonalities, too. Babies can easily stop their breath when they close their lips (rather than going on breathing through the nose). This produces a b-or a p-sound. It is surely for this reason that so many names for “father” use these consonants: papa in English, abb in Arabic and baba in Mandarin. T-and d-sounds are similarly basic, involving a simple tap of the tongue against the teeth: hence daddy, tatay (Tagalog) or tayta (Quechua). Father and mother are, therefore, an oddity. F-is not especially easy to utter(发音); th-sounds are even harder. English, Greek and Spanish are unusual in having them. Even Anglophone children may struggle with th-sounds when they are five, or older still in many cases. Anyway, it is hard to find linguistic universals amid the world’s dazzling variety. 12. What does the underlined word “quadruped” in Paragraph 2 most probably refer to? A. Pronunciation B. Sound C. Bee D. Animal 13. “Mamas” and “papas” are used so universally because ________. A. the sounds of the two words sound alike B. air will come out of baby’s mouth directly C. the sounds can be easily and naturally uttered D. babies can continue their breath when closing their lips 14. According to the passage, which of the following words might be the most difficult to articulate? A. Forthcoming. B. Programme. C. Magnificent. D. Magazine. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Inspiration from babies’ smile and talks. B. Linguists’ efforts to the research of sounds. C. Connection between the word mum and dad. D. Reasons for similar sounds in unrelated languages. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇议论文。文章主要在探讨在不同语言中，一些相似的发音存在的原因是什么。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“no connection exists between the word dog and the furry quadruped.”（单词dog和毛茸茸的 quadruped之间没有任何联系。）及句中“dog”和“furry”（长毛的）可知，划线词应该是指和狗一样的长毛的动物。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“ a few—such as b, m, p, t, d and k—show up far more frequently, in nearly every spoken language in the world. That is almost certainly because they are easy to make.”（有少数几个，比如b、 m、p、t、d和k，在世界上几乎每一种口语中出现的频率都要高得多，这几乎可以肯定是因为它们容易发出。）可知，“Mamas”和“Papas”被如此普遍使用是因为它们会很容易、很自然地被发出读音。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“F-is not especially easy to utter(发音); th-sounds are even harder.”（F -不是特别容易发音；th音更难发音。）可知，选项A中的含有“F”和“th”，所以最难清晰地发音。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In many languages, the word for “mother/mom” takes an m-sound. Is there any reason for such near-universality?”（在许多语言中，““mother/mom”这个词带有m音，这种近乎普遍的现象有什么原因吗?）并结合全文可知，本文主要在讨论许多发音普遍存在于不同的语言中的原因。故选D。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you’re an open person that has no fear of talking to strangers on the street, or the polar opposite(相反的), there are ways to deal with a culture shock. Here are some tips that you may find helpful. Accept differences If you fly to the other side of the world, even a neighboring country or city, things aren’t going to be the same. Diversity(差异性) is what exactly makes travel rewarding and enjoyable. ___16___. You probably won’t, so just set off into this adventure and realize there are going to be differences. Stop comparing “They don’t even have the food I want here!” This stresses only the negative(消极的) aspects of a new destination. There are plenty of other aspects to compare your new travel destinations with your own country or your own city. ___17___, how are you going to learn and grow from this journey? Have a chat with locals Even though you are shy, you can say something to people of specific areas where you travel when you feel comfortable. ___18___. Therefore, you can understand the deep meaning behind a strange aspect of the experience of you. Plus, locals can often be funny—turning a boring, overused joke into an unforgettable moment. ___19___ One great thing about traveling is that there’s usually someone to talk to. Whether you’re stuck on a moving bus or relaxing in a hotel common room, try interacting with people on the same journey. Experienced ones help educate each other with tips on things to do, and share other interesting stories they have picked up. ___20___. A. Share travelling stories B. Connect with other travelers C. When they act differently than you would expect D. It is a great way to get a full picture of this new destination you are in E. If you spend whole trip picking out things you consider unsatisfactory F. The locals can throw light on why things are or should be done in a certain way G. But it doesn’t mean that you have to fall deep in love with each of the differences 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四条应对文化冲突的建议。 【16题详解】 前文“Diversity(差异性) is what exactly makes travel rewarding and enjoyable.(差异性正是让旅行变得有意义和愉快的原因。)”讲述了差异性让旅行变得有意义和愉快，结合下文中的“You probably won’t”可知，空处应与上文形成转折，讲述你不一定非要爱上每一个差异，并衔接下文，G项“但这并不意味着你必须深深地爱上每一个差异”符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据本段小标题“Stop comparing”可知，本段主要建议不要比较。根据前文的““They don’t even have the food I want here!” This stresses only the negative(消极的) aspects of a new destination.(“他们甚至没有我想要的食物！”这只强调了新目的地的负面方面。)”并结合空后的“how are you going to learn and grow from this journey?(你将如何从这段旅程中学习和成长？)”可知，空处应是假设挑剔新目的地的消极方面的情况，E项“如果你在整个旅程中挑选出你认为不满意的东西”符合题意。故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“Even though you are shy, you can say something to people of specific areas where you travel when you feel comfortable.(即使你很害羞，当你觉得舒服的时候，你也可以对你旅行的特定地区的人说点什么。)”讲述了可以在舒服的时候和当地的人聊天，后文“Therefore, you can understand the deep meaning behind a strange aspect of the experience of you.(因此，你可以理解你经历的一个奇怪方面背后的深刻含义。)”讲述了当地人可以帮助你理解某个奇怪经历背后的深刻含义，由此可知，空处应讲述和当地人聊天可以为你解释某些原因，F项“当地人可以阐明为什么事情是或应该以某种方式进行的”符合题意。故选F。 【19题详解】 空处是本段小标题。根据下文中的“One great thing about traveling is that there’s usually someone to talk to. Whether you’re stuck on a moving bus or relaxing in a hotel common room, try interacting with people on the same journey.(旅行的一个好处是，通常有人可以聊天。无论你是被困在一辆行驶的公共汽车上，还是在酒店的公共休息室里放松，试着与同一旅程中的人互动。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是可以与其他旅行者聊天，B项“与其他旅行者沟通”符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“Experienced ones help educate each other with tips on things to do, and share other interesting stories they have picked up.(有经验的人会帮助教育对方做事情的小窍门，并分享他们学到的其他有趣的故事。)”讲述了有经验的旅行伙伴可以向同伴传授做事情的小窍门和分享有趣的故事，空处应承接上文，对此进行评价，D项“这是了解你所在的这个新目的地全貌的好方法。”符合题意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No doubt we all have experienced frustration (受挫).

I was so hungry because I skipped my lunch that I decided to stop by KFC and had a quick bite before I continued my journey home. It took me a long time to find a place to park my car. With my face buried in my collar, I walked slowly in the snow. Soon my hands were numb(麻木) with cold, so I pulled my gloves out of my coat pocket and put them on. I ordered some fried chicken and dug into my pocket for my wallet to pay, only to find it was not there! I remembered I did bring it with me before I set out. Embarrassed, I left the chicken on the counter and said I would return in a minute. Deeply worried, I got out of KFC and ran towards my car, wondering where my wallet, with everything in it, was. Fresh snow was like a blank paper, recording my tracks. My attention fixed on the ground, I expected to find it on my way. Unfortunately, what I found was only the shape of it in the snow. Obviously, I lost it when I pulled my gloves out. Judging from the footprints on the ground, I was not the only one. There was someone else joining my way. But the footprints of this guy were messy. It seemed that he walked back and forth. My heart sank. At a loss of which way he went, I knew I could never claim my wallet back. Bye, fried chicken, not today. I walked towards my car helplessly. A short, skinny man was standing by my car. He seemed like homeless because he was dressed in oversized worn-out coat and his face was dirty. He was stamping his feet to keep warm. I felt sorry for him because I had nothing to help him, no money, no food. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The man noticed me and asked if this was my car. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Refusing my money, he was about to leave. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The man noticed me and asked if this was my car. Surprised as I was, I nodded, waiting for what he was going to say. He seemed excited, directly coming closer and quickly taking out a wallet, which I knew was mine at the first glance. I couldn’t stop staring at the surprising packet. I knew I wouldn’t say goodbye to my fried chicken today. But first, I need show my sincere gratitude to the good soul, who must have stayed in the cold for long just to find the owner. I opened my wallet, pulled out two banknotes and delivered to him as my thankfulness. However, he just smiled, shaking his head. Refusing my money, he was about to leave. Seeing him disappearing in the distance gradually, I finally made up my mind to stop him and asked him to wait a minute. I grabbed the money, rushed to the counter and ordered two fried chickens. On heading back, I slipped the package into his hand, inviting him to enjoy the food together. We exchanged our thoughts a lot as we were eating and laughing. It was on that night that I came to realize that there are always people who try to help others despite their own trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个雪天去买肯德基时发现钱包丢了，以为被偷，在自己车旁边看到了一个瘦削的人一直在他的车旁边走来走去，原来这个人捡起了作者的钱包，等待作者的到来并将钱包还给了他，且拒绝了作者的报酬，最后，作者买了炸鸡和他一起享用的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那个人注意到了我，问我这是不是我的车。”和第二段首句可知，第一段可描写男人将钱包还给作者，作者想要酬谢却被拒绝。 ②由第二段首句内容“他拒绝了我的钱，准备离开。”可知，第二段可描写作者买了炸鸡答谢男人。 2.续写线索：还钱包——作者惊喜——作者酬谢——拒绝离开——作者请吃炸鸡——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递：deliver/hand/pass ②尝试：try/attempt 情绪类 ①激动：excited/thrilled ②意外：surprised/unexpected 【点睛】[高分句型1]Surprised as I was, I nodded, waiting for what he was going to say.(含有让步状语从句的倒装结构，现在分词作状语和what引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2]It was on that night that I came to realize that there are always people who try to help others despite their own trouble.(含强调句型和that引导的宾语从句和who引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年十堰市八校教联体9月联考高二英语试卷 考试时间：2025年9月25日下午15:00—17:00 试卷满分：150分 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，用签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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，你将有两分钟的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和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth. A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes. Green has never avoided challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my path very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness. “I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin,” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.” In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. 4. What troubled Green upon her graduation? A. Poor academic performance. B. A tough job-hunting situation. C. Lack of writing opportunities. D. Failure in a volunteer program. 5. Why did Green take random writing jobs? A. To realize her dream soon. B. To gain wide recognition. C. To earn a living temporarily. D. To learn different writing styles. 6. What matters most to her career according to Green? A. Handling refusal bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin. C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey. 7. What may be the author’s attitude towards Green? A. Admiring. B. Critical. C. Dismissive. D. Objective. C Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate (震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University. VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioEleotronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus (下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid (胃液) breaking down a coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste: The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it. “Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and ca lorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, co-author of the study. “The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.” Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans. 8. What is the outcome of taking the pill? A. Liquid production. B. Food storage. C. Sensation of fullness. D. Recovery of users. 9. Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Its working principle. B. Its intelligence. C. Its testing history. D. Its side effect. 10. What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device? A. To produce gastric fluid with it. B. To destroy the coat around it. C. To fix it in human body. D. To remove solid waste from it. 11. What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device? A. Worried. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Confused. D In many languages, the word for “mother/mom” takes an m-sound. Is there any reason for such near-universality? Linguists(语言学家) generally argue for “the arbitrariness of the sign”: no connection exists between the word dog and the furry quadruped. A rare exception is onomatopoeia, where words representing the bark of a dog (bow-wow) and the buzz made by a bee are more or less similar to the sound. Yet most things are not subject to naming this way. What about mama? It does not sound like a mother, but the fact is that some sounds are more widespread than others around the world. There are many dozens of observed consonants which are rare and hard for non-natives to learn. In contrast, a few—such as b, m, p, t, d and k—show up far more frequently, in nearly every spoken language in the world. That is almost certainly because they are easy to make. A baby vocalising will, at first, make a vowel-like sound, usually something like “ah”, which requires little in the way of control over the mouth. If they briefly close their mouth and continue vocalising, air will come out of their nose, thus making the m-sound that is used in “mother” around the world. Though the “mamas” bear the most obvious similarity, the “papas” have striking commonalities, too. Babies can easily stop their breath when they close their lips (rather than going on breathing through the nose). This produces a b-or a p-sound. It is surely for this reason that so many names for “father” use these consonants: papa in English, abb in Arabic and baba in Mandarin. T-and d-sounds are similarly basic, involving a simple tap of the tongue against the teeth: hence daddy, tatay (Tagalog) or tayta (Quechua). Father and mother are, therefore, an oddity. F-is not especially easy to utter(发音); th-sounds are even harder. English, Greek and Spanish are unusual in having them. Even Anglophone children may struggle with th-sounds when they are five, or older still in many cases. Anyway, it is hard to find linguistic universals amid the world’s dazzling variety. 12. What does the underlined word “quadruped” in Paragraph 2 most probably refer to? A. Pronunciation B. Sound C. Bee D. Animal 13. “Mamas” and “papas” are used so universally because ________. A. the sounds of the two words sound alike B. air will come out of baby’s mouth directly C. the sounds can be easily and naturally uttered D. babies can continue their breath when closing their lips 14. According to the passage, which of the following words might be the most difficult to articulate? A Forthcoming. B. Programme. C. Magnificent. D. Magazine. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Inspiration from babies’ smile and talks. B. Linguists’ efforts to the research of sounds. C. Connection between the word mum and dad. D. Reasons for similar sounds in unrelated languages. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you’re an open person that has no fear of talking to strangers on the street, or the polar opposite(相反的), there are ways to deal with a culture shock.

It was snowing heavily and the traffic inched slowly forward like snails. I was so hungry because I skipped my lunch that I decided to stop by KFC and had a quick bite before I continued my journey home. It took me a long time to find a place to park my car. With my face buried in my collar, I walked slowly in the snow. Soon my hands were numb(麻木) with cold, so I pulled my gloves out of my coat pocket and put them on. I ordered some fried chicken and dug into my pocket for my wallet to pay, only to find it was not there! I remembered I did bring it with me before I set out. Embarrassed, I left the chicken on the counter and said I would return in a minute. Deeply worried, I got out of KFC and ran towards my car, wondering where my wallet, with everything in it, was. Fresh snow was like a blank paper, recording my tracks. My attention fixed on the ground, I expected to find it on my way. Unfortunately, what I found was only the shape of it in the snow. Obviously, I lost it when I pulled my gloves out. Judging from the footprints on the ground, I was not the only one. There was someone else joining my way. But the footprints of this guy were messy. It seemed that he walked back and forth. My heart sank. At a loss of which way he went, I knew I could never claim my wallet back. Bye, fried chicken, not today. I walked towards my car helplessly. A short, skinny man was standing by my car. He seemed like homeless because he was dressed in oversized worn-out coat and his face was dirty. He was stamping his feet to keep warm. I felt sorry for him because I had nothing to help him, no money, no food. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The man noticed me and asked if this was my car. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Refusing my money, he was about to leave. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
