The artwork was painted by Yao Wenhan and Zhang Weibang in the Qing Dynasty and is now held in the Palace Museum. It shows a number of competitions and sports that could be seen on ice centuries ago. Here are some of the most popular ones. Archery on Ice In the game, there were three arches (拱门) put on the ice, with a silk ball hung by a rope in the middle of each arch. Players would skate across the ice, led by a person with a flag. Once passing through an arch, they would turn around and try to hit the ball with an arrow (箭). The scene was very powerful (震撼的), as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon. Ice Football In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice. Unlike the ancient Chinese ball game cuju, players were allowed to pass the ball with both their hands and feet. According to historical records, the Qing government later included the sport in army training. Downhill Ice Skating On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (斜坡) about ten meters in length (长度) to create an ice track for competitors. Wearing ice skates, competitors would take turns to slide down the slope to show as much of their skating skills as they could. Those who made it down the slope without falling would be named the winner. 29. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By showing a result. D.

It may be because you haven’t practiced retrieval (检索). Retrieval practice is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening, some by re-reading, and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams (图表). Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information. A recent study from Purdue University, the US, shows that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment. “Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge in memory,” said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher. “Learning is about retrieving important information at any moment. So it is important to make retrieval practice an important part of the learning process.” The research studied two groups of students. Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. This method is called concept mapping (概念构图). The other group practiced retrieval. They put the text away after learning it and practiced freely recalling the concepts from the text. Then, both groups were tested on the information they had learned. Both groups did well in recalling the learned information. However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who practiced retrieval scored higher than the group who made diagrams. So by practicing retrieval, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us study better. Our mind, just like our body, has to practice proper activities to become good at retrieving information. 32. Which of the following ways of remembering is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Listening. B. Re-reading. C. Speaking. D. Using pictures and diagrams. 33. According to Jeffrey Karpicke, learning is about ______. A. practicing drawing pictures and diagrams B. quickly getting knowledge from our memory C. retrieving important information at any moment D. trying different ways to remember new information. 34. What can we learn from the text? A. Each group got the same score in the later test. B. Retrieval practice is better for recalling information. C. Concept mapping is the best learning method for all people. D. There’s a close relationship between listening and reading. 35. What would be the best structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了检索练习这一学习方法的相关信息。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Some of us remember best by listening, some by re-reading, and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams.”可知，listening，re-reading，using pictures and diagrams均已被提及。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Learning is about retrieving important information at any moment.”可知，学习就是在任何时刻都要检索重要信息。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, when they were asked to return one week later...which will help us study better.”可知，检索练习更有利于回忆信息。故选B。 【35题详解】 篇章结构题。根据全文可知，第一段通过设问来引出检索练习这一话题；第二段简单介绍记忆方法；第三段和第四段通过阐述一项研究来论证检索练习的优势；第五段强调检索练习的必要性，总结全文。故选B。 D Tea bag drinking is most Westerner’s favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about? The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze(薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. 36. Who invented tea bag? _________. A. An English tea seller B. The Chinese C. Lipton D. Thomas Sullivan 37. The tea in silk bags was welcome because ________. A. the tea in bags was free and very good B. the tea tasted good and the cups was easy to wash C. people were happy with the loose tea D. people didn’t know any better way to enjoy the tea 38. The underlined part “Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK” means “_________ in the UK”. A. Tea bags soon became popular B. Tea bags surprised everyone very much C. Tea bags kicked(踢) the loose-leaf out of the market D. Tea bags weren’t allowed to be sold 39. The material of the tea bag is usually ________ now. A. silk B. gauze C. paper D. plastic 40. What can be the best title for this passage? A. The invention of tea B. The way of drinking tea C. The history of tea bags D. People’s favorite tea in the world 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【分析】本文主要介绍了茶包的历史以及它的优缺点。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller”可知茶包是Thomas Sullivan发明的，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He was...The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup”可知茶味道很好，杯子也很容易洗，所以丝绸袋里的茶很受欢迎，故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.”可知如今英国85%的茶叶是用纸袋包装的，所以茶包在英国是很受欢迎的，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sullivan realized...As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze(薄纱) and later paper.”可知随着茶叶袋的流行，它们从丝绸变成了纱布，后来又变成了纸，所以现在茶包的材料通常还是纸，故选C。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第一段“Tea bag drinking is most Westerner’s favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?”可知文章主要在介绍茶包的历史，故选C。 Ⅸ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) In today’s world we find ourselves communicating more through online channels such as messaging, social media and video calls. There are certain situations where online communication is necessary but others where we choose a virtual (虚拟的) conversation over a real-life one. Is online communication preferable in today’s world? To begin with, I’d like to talk about the advantages (优点) of online communication. Firstly, online communication makes it possible to communicate with people in different places around the world. This has many advantages in the workplace as meetings can take place through video conferencing (视频会议) among companies in Stockholm, San Francisco and Shanghai without the need for long and time-consuming (耗费时间的) business trips. What’s more, it provides chances for families and friends who are far away from each other to keep in touch every day. Another advantage is that online communication gives us the choice of replying quickly and allows us to edit (编辑) and improve our message. On the other hand, there are several disadvantages of online communication. Some experts are worried that having no face-to-face communication gets in the way of the development of important social skills. Also, the very nature of conversation is different in the virtual world. If short pieces of dialogue with emoticons (表情符号) replace longer direct conversation with emotions expressed on real faces, we’re running the risk of losing the art of real conversation. On balance, I believe that online communication brings us advantages in today’s society. However, we should take care not to look down on the advantages of face-to-face dialogue. 41. Online communication makes it possible to ______ people in different places around the world. 42. Families and friends staying far away from each other have chances to ______ through online communication. 43. How many advantages of online communication are mentioned in the passage? _________________________________________________________________________________________ 44. What will happen if there is no face-to-face communication? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. Do you like online communication? Why or why not? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. communicate with 42. keep in touch 43. Three. 44. It gets in the way of the development of important social skills. 45. Yes.

Ⅶ.阅读理解(共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分) A The stories behind these inventions are all interesting. They will help you understand our daily life more. Slurpee In the 1950s, Omar Knedlik owned an ice-cream store in Kansas. When the soda fountain (压杆式苏打水瓶) broke down, he put the soda into the fridge. It turned out to be an accidental success. Customers loved the icy drinks. Knedlik built a machine that could create the drinks. When 7-Eleven bought the machine to use in its stores, it named the drink Slurpee. Bubble Wrap The invention of bubble wrap in the 1950s was actually accidental. Alfred Fielding and his business partner started out with the purpose of making a textured wallpaper (起纹理的壁纸). But the air-filled small raised parts didn’t make a great wall covering. The inventors brainstormed many other uses for it before landing on the purpose it’s used for today-packaging (包装) material. Toothbrushes Humans have been cleaning their teeth with all kinds of instruments for thousands of years. But bristle (刷子毛) brushes, like the ones used today, were invented in ancient China. The brushes were made from hairs taken from the back of a pig’s neck. Over time, they were replaced with nylon bristles. 26. What does Slurpee refer to? A. A drink. B. A machine. C. A supermarket. D. An inventor. 27. How was Bubble Wrap invented? A. It first appeared in the 1930s. B. It was invented by a couple. C. It was invented by accident. D. Its creator didn’t find a use for it. 28. Which of the following was invented in ancient China? A. Slurpee. B. Bubble wrap. C. The toothbrush. D. The chocolate chip cookie. B Have you ever heard about Ice Games Painting? The artwork was painted by Yao Wenhan and Zhang Weibang in the Qing Dynasty and is now held in the Palace Museum. It shows a number of competitions and sports that could be seen on ice centuries ago. Here are some of the most popular ones. Archery on Ice In the game, there were three arches (拱门) put on the ice, with a silk ball hung by a rope in the middle of each arch. Players would skate across the ice, led by a person with a flag. Once passing through an arch, they would turn around and try to hit the ball with an arrow (箭). The scene was very powerful (震撼的), as hundreds of players joined in together, moving in a line like a dragon. Ice Football In the match, the players were divided into two teams. They competed to catch a ball thrown into the air above ice. Unlike the ancient Chinese ball game cuju, players were allowed to pass the ball with both their hands and feet. According to historical records, the Qing government later included the sport in army training. Downhill Ice Skating On cold winter days, organizers would water a slope (斜坡) about ten meters in length (长度) to create an ice track for competitors. Wearing ice skates, competitors would take turns to slide down the slope to show as much of their skating skills as they could. Those who made it down the slope without falling would be named the winner. 29. How does the writer begin the text? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By showing a result. D. By listing some numbers. 30. What can we learn about ice football from the text? A. It was the same as cuju. B It was used to train the army. C. It required much more skating skills. D. The players tried to catch a silk ball hung by a rope. 31. What is the writer trying to introduce in the text? A. The development of the Qing Dynasty. B. The most powerful scene in the north. C. The on-ice sports in different countries. D. The on-ice games in ancient China. C Have you ever wondered why you go over a book again and again and still feel lost when tested on what you’ve read? It may be because you haven’t practiced retrieval (检索). Retrieval practice is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening, some by re-reading, and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams (图表). Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information. A recent study from Purdue University, the US, shows that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment. “Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge in memory,” said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher. “Learning is about retrieving important information at any moment. So it is important to make retrieval practice an important part of the learning process.” The research studied two groups of students. Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. This method is called concept mapping (概念构图). The other group practiced retrieval. They put the text away after learning it and practiced freely recalling the concepts from the text. Then, both groups were tested on the information they had learned. Both groups did well in recalling the learned information. However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who practiced retrieval scored higher than the group who made diagrams. So by practicing retrieval, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us study better. Our mind, just like our body, has to practice proper activities to become good at retrieving information. 32. Which of the following ways of remembering is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Listening. B. Re-reading. C. Speaking. D. Using pictures and diagrams. 33. According to Jeffrey Karpicke, learning is about ______. A. practicing drawing pictures and diagrams B. quickly getting knowledge from our memory C. retrieving important information at any moment D. trying different ways to remember new information. 34. What can we learn from the text? A. Each group got the same score in the later test. B Retrieval practice is better for recalling information. C. Concept mapping is the best learning method for all people. D. There’s a close relationship between listening and reading. 35. What would be the best structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. D Tea bag drinking is most Westerner’s favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about? The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze(薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go. 36. Who invented tea bag? _________. A. An English tea seller B. The Chinese C. Lipton D. Thomas Sullivan 37. The tea in silk bags was welcome because ________. A. the tea in bags was free and very good B. the tea tasted good and the cups was easy to wash C. people were happy with the loose tea D. people didn’t know any better way to enjoy the tea 38. The underlined part “Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK” means “_________ in the UK”. A. Tea bags soon became popular B. Tea bags surprised everyone very much C. Tea bags kicked(踢) the loose-leaf out of the market D. Tea bags weren’t allowed to be sold 39. The material of the tea bag is usually ________ now. A. silk B. gauze C. paper D. plastic 40. What can be the best title for this passage? A. The invention of tea B. The way of drinking tea C. The history of tea bags D. People’s favorite tea in the world Ⅸ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) In today’s world we find ourselves communicating more through online channels such as messaging, social media and video calls. There are certain situations where online communication is necessary but others where we choose a virtual (虚拟的) conversation over a real-life one. Is online communication preferable in today’s world? To begin with, I’d like to talk about the advantages (优点) of online communication. Firstly, online communication makes it possible to communicate with people in different places around the world. This has many advantages in the workplace as meetings can take place through video conferencing (视频会议) among companies in Stockholm, San Francisco and Shanghai without the need for long and time-consuming (耗费时间的) business trips. What’s more, it provides chances for families and friends who are far away from each other to keep in touch every day. Another advantage is that online communication gives us the choice of replying quickly and allows us to edit (编辑) and improve our message. On the other hand, there are several disadvantages of online communication. Some experts are worried that having no face-to-face communication gets in the way of the development of important social skills. Also, the very nature of conversation is different in the virtual world. If short pieces of dialogue with emoticons (表情符号) replace longer direct conversation with emotions expressed on real faces, we’re running the risk of losing the art of real conversation. On balance, I believe that online communication brings us advantages in today’s society. However, we should take care not to look down on the advantages of face-to-face dialogue. 41 Online communication makes it possible to ______ people in different places around the world. 42. Families and friends staying far away from each other have chances to ______ through online communication. 43. How many advantages of online communication are mentioned in the passage? _________________________________________________________________________________________ 44. What will happen if there is no face-to-face communication? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. Do you like online communication? Why or why not? ________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅹ.情境交际(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) A: Good morning, madam. ___________46___________? B: Yes, please.
