Let’s take a look at four of them. Italian beef sandwich Known around the city simply as a “beef”, this giant sandwich piles thinly sliced roast beef and green peppers on brown French bread, which has roots in the Italian American community in 1938. Dozens of Italian beef joints now exist in Chicago area, including Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park and Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich. The latter is popular among people who favor vegetable products. Italian sub Italian subs exist all over the country with different names. Chicago’s version originates from Vincenzo Graziano’s first sandwich store in 1922, who came to Chicago in 1905 without any money. At J.P. Graziano, now managed by Graziano’s great-grandson Jim Graziano, the Italian sub features hot pork sausage, plus tomato, red wine vinegar, which adds a deeper, richer flavor. Reuben Made with roasted beef, Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. At Manny’s, you can taste the classic Reuben served with the award-winning roasted beef, which is the restaurant’s signature. Chicago-style hot dog Dating back to 1929, a Chicago Red Hot is made up of nine ingredients (原料). They include an all-beef frank, a steamed bread roll and a salad bar of toppings. As one of the city’s most popular spots for a Chicago dog, the family-owned roadside stand, Superdawg Drive-In, has served hot dogs since 1948. If you order a Chicago dog, the really critical detail is that you can’t see tomato source, which would ruin the perfect balance of the food. 21. Among the four must-eat Chicago sandwiches, which one has the longest history? A. Italian beef sandwich. B. Italian sub. C. Reuben. D. Chicago-style hot dog. 22. In which restaurant can you taste an award-winning sandwich? A. Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park. B. J.P. Graziano. C. Manny’s. D. Superdawg Drive-In. 23. Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from? A. Transport. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Science. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了芝加哥的必吃的三明治以及它们的发源年份、配料和代表性门店。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Italian beef sandwich中的“Known around the city simply as a “beef”, this giant sandwich piles thinly sliced roast beef and green peppers on brown French bread, which has roots in the Italian American community in 1938.(这个巨大的三明治在城市里被简单地称为“牛肉”，它把切成薄片的烤牛肉和青椒堆在棕色的法国面包上，起源于1938年的意大利裔美国人社区)”、Italian sub中的“Chicago’s version originates from Vincenzo Graziano’s first sandwich store in 1922, who came to Chicago in 1905 without any money. (芝加哥版的三明治起源于1922年文森佐·格拉齐亚诺的第一家三明治店，1905年，他身无分文地来到芝加哥)”、Reuben中的“Made with roasted beef, Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. (1925年，内布拉斯加州奥马哈的黑石酒店发明了鲁本三明治，用烤牛肉、瑞士奶酪和咸菜制成，并于1956年赢得了全国三明治创意大赛。)”和Chicago-style hot dog中的“Dating back to 1929, a Chicago Red Hot is made up of nine ingredients(原料). (1929年，芝加哥红热由九种原料组成)”可知，在四种必吃的芝加哥三明治中，Italian sub历史最悠久。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reuben中的“Made with roasted beef, Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. At Manny’s, you can taste the classic Reuben served with the award-winning roasted beef, which is the restaurant’s signature. (1925年，内布拉斯加州奥马哈的黑石酒店发明了鲁本三明治，用烤牛肉、瑞士奶酪和咸菜制成，并于1956年赢得了全国三明治创意大赛。在曼尼餐厅，你可以品尝到经典的鲁本和屡获殊荣的烤牛肉，这是餐厅的招牌)”可知，在曼尼餐厅可以品尝到获奖的三明治。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“On a hit list of Chicago’s must-eat dishes, you’ll find various meals on bread. (在芝加哥的必吃菜肴清单上，你会发现各种各样的面包餐)”及全文可知，文章通篇介绍了芝加哥的四种必吃的三明治。由此推知，文章来源应该是杂志的旅游部分。故选C。 B Astrid Poghosyan, a 28-year-old Armenian violinist, now working as a helper to the president of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, a celebrated orchestra in China’s most populous (人口稠密的) city, has achieved her dream as a musician. This summer, she has been busy making preparations for a series of in-person and online music events and cultural exchange programs, including a music festival in Shanghai and a live-streamed (直播的) international violin competition. Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects in which she is involved, whether they are offline or online events, as she believes that every little effort will help her realize her music-related dreams. Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand. Such a multicultural background has certainly helped her excel at her current job. “Poghosyan plays a very special role in our orchestra,” said Zhou Ping, president of the orchestra. “She has lived in China for long and loves the Chinese culture, and she knows how to use the advantage of a multicultural background in her work.” For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is quite different from when she first came to China in 2009 to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Then just 16, Poghosyan couldn’t speak a word of Chinese. “And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.” As she gradually immersed (沉浸) herself in the Chinese language and culture, she also started to make Chinese friends and explore the exciting city life of Shanghai. “Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been impressed by the kindness and friendliness of the people here,” she said, “Their smiles have made me feel the warmth of the city.” 24. What does Poghosyan do in China at present? A. A hostess of a music festival. B. A president of an orchestra. C. A judge of some music events. D. An assistant of Zhou Ping. 25. How does Zhou Ping feel about Poghosyan’s performance? A. Disappointed. B. Inspired. C. Worried. D. Satisfied. 26. What was Poghosyan’s main challenge when she first arrived in China in 2009? A. Her poor violin skills. B. The unfamiliar city life. C. The language barrier. D. The lack of musical events. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. An Armenian’s exciting academic life in Shanghai. B. The advantage of multicultural background in work. C. An Armenian musician realizing her dream in China. D. The love brought to an Armenian by Chinese people. 【答案】24 D 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位28岁的亚美尼亚小提琴家Astrid Poghosyan在中国上海交响乐团主席助理的岗位上实现音乐梦想的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Astrid Poghosyan, a 28-year-old Armenian violinist, now working as a helper to the president of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, a celebrated orchestra in China’s most populous (人口稠密的) city, has achieved her dream as a musician. (28岁的亚美尼亚小提琴家Astrid Poghosyan，目前担任上海交响乐团（中国人口最多城市的知名乐团）团长助理，已实现自己的音乐家梦想。)”可知，Poghosyan现在是上海交响乐团主席周平的助手。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““Poghosyan plays a very special role in our orchestra,” said Zhou Ping, president of the orchestra. “She has lived in China for long and loves the Chinese culture, and she knows how to use the advantage of a multicultural background in her work.” (“Poghosyan在我们的管弦乐队中扮演着非常特殊的角色，”管弦乐队主席周平说。“她在中国生活了很长时间，热爱中国文化，她知道如何在工作中利用多元文化背景的优势。”)”可知，周平认为Poghosyan在乐团中扮演着特殊角色，还知道如何利用多元文化背景的优势，说明周平对Poghosyan的表现是满意的。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Then just 16, Poghosyan couldn’t speak a word of Chinese. “And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.” (当时只有16岁的Poghosyan一句中文都不会说。“我当时的英语水平只有高中水平，也没什么帮助，”她说。“所以我决定学习中文来解决沟通问题。”)”可知，Poghosyan刚到中国时主要面临的挑战是语言障碍。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Astrid Poghosyan, a 28-year-old Armenian violinist, now working as a helper to the president of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, a celebrated orchestra in China’s most populous(人口稠密的) city, has achieved her dream as a musician. (28岁的亚美尼亚小提琴家Astrid Poghosyan，目前担任上海交响乐团（中国人口最多城市的知名乐团）团长助理，已实现自己的音乐家梦想。)”可知，本文主要讲述了亚美尼亚音乐家Astrid Poghosyan在中国实现梦想的故事。故选C。 C We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world of unfamiliar styles to explore. The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all ages. Except, most of the time, it doesn’t. Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age. Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon. Until around the age of 11, children are generally happy to engage with unfamiliar music. Early adolescence sees a reduction in open-earedness, but is accompanied by an intense increase in interest in music more generally. Open-earedness increases slightly during young adulthood, and then declines as we age. A major study involving more than 250,000 participants confirmed these changing behaviors. It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood. Researchers have different theories to account for these trends. One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people. Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation. Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles. Adults have developed personalities and established social groups. As such, drivers to engage with new music are lessened. Some researchers argue that we shouldn’t use a person’s age to predict if their musical taste will stay the same, without first thinking about how we enjoy and use music at different stages of our lives. Teenagers tend to be very aware of what they are listening to. Adults who use music as motivation or accompaniment for activities such as exercise or household chores may be less conscious of the extent to which they actually do listen to new music. 28. What does the term “open-earedness” refer to in the passage? A. The ability to play music. B. The willingness to explore new music. C. The interest in music during adolescence. D. The significance of music in daily life. 29. According to the study, how does the amount of music listened to change as we age? A. It remains consistent throughout life. B. It increases from childhood to adulthood. C. It peaks during adolescence and then decreases. D. It gradually declines from childhood to adulthood. 30. What factor is suggested as one cause for a reduced interest in new music as people age? A. An increase in hearing sharpness. B. Less spare time due to responsibilities. C. An intense decrease in interest in music. D. Changes in personality and social groups. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Music Consumption: A Lifelong Journey. B. Factors Influencing Music Engagement in Adults. C. Adolescents and Music: Identity and Exploration. D. Decline of Open-Earedness: Age Affects Music Exploration. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了探索新的陌生音乐的意愿会随着年龄的增长而下降这一现象并分析了其原因。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age.(我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降。)”和第二段“Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon.(学者们创造了“open-earedness”一词来描述这种现象。)”可知，open-earedness指的是探索新音乐的意愿。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood.(研究还表明，我们在青春期之后对音乐的重视程度会下降，我们听音乐的数量也会从青春期时占清醒时间的20%的高点下降到成年后的13%。)”可知，研究表明，听音乐的数量在青春期达到顶峰，然后下降。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people.(一种对基于年龄的音乐消费量减少的解释简单地假设，承担责任的成年人可能比年轻人有更少的自由时间来探索他们的音乐兴趣。)”可知，随着年龄的增长，人们对新音乐的兴趣下降的一个原因是由于责任而导致的空闲时间减少。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age.(我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降。)”和第二段Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon.(学者们创造了“open-earedness”一词来描述这种现象。)”和以及下文内容可知，本文介绍了一项研究，研究表明，我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降，学者们创造了open-earedness一词来描述这种现象，并解释了导致这种现象的原因。由此可知，D. Decline of Open-Earedness: Age Affects Music Exploration(open-earedness的下降：年龄影响音乐探索)适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。 D When babies are exposed to a variety of faces, they become more adept in recognizing and appreciating diversity, which can help reduce biases and prejudices as they grow. This is according to neuroscientist Saskia Koch of the Donders Institute and Radboud University. Koch conducted her research using data from the Nijmegen longitudinal study. This study follows young people from infancy (婴儿期). First, the researchers looked at how frequently the teenagers had attended day care as babies. Then, the same youngsters were assigned the duty of playing a game when they reached the age of 17. In the game, they had to work with another person they couldn’t see. Both players had the same goal: find an object on a gameboard. Only the 17-year-old knew where the item was. The 17-year-olds had to communicate this location to each other without using words. They had to design communicative patterns that would assist the other person in locating the object. This could be accomplished, for example, by performing specific movements. The 17-year-olds were informed they were playing with a 5-year-old in one game and an adult in another, despite the fact that it was the same individual each time. Initially, the 17- year-olds adjusted their communicative patterns when they thought they were interacting with the child by placing more emphasis on their movements. How quickly they abandoned this pattern depended on how much time they spent in day care. 17-year-olds who had come into contact with many different people as infants were more likely to get over a stereotype (刻板印象). They found out in the interaction that the “child” was also very good and then based their play on that. According to the researcher this means that babies who have had more diverse social interactions can more easily let go of a stereotype later in life. They are more sensitive to social interaction and can more quickly let go of the image they have in their minds of their peers. Koch says, “Gaining many diverse social experiences early in life allows us to adapt better to the needs of our partners in social interaction. ” 32. What does the underlined word “adept” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Forgetful. B. Skillful. C. Interested. D. Disappointed. 33. What was the purpose of the game in the study? A. To confirm the data from the Nijmegen study. B. To test the impacts of early social interactions. C. To enhance the youngsters’ cooperative ability. D. To assess the effects of communicative patterns. 34. How did the 17-year-olds first respond to the “child” in the game? A. They changed their fixed idea of a child. B. They adjusted the time spent on the game. C. They performed more specific movements. D. They employed verbal interactive patterns. 35. What helps babies with future social contacts according to Koch? A. Interacting with various people. B. Engaging with diverse peers. C. Adapting to the needs of partners. D. Letting go of the old images. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了神经科学家科赫通过研究证明婴儿期接触多样面孔和社交互动有助于减少偏见，并在17岁青少年游戏测试中得到验证，多样社交经验利于未来社交适应。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“When babies are exposed to a variety of faces, they become more adept in recognizing and appreciating diversity, which can help reduce biases and prejudices as they grow. (当婴儿接触到各种各样的面孔时，他们在识别和欣赏多样性方面变得更加____，这有助于在他们成长过程中减少偏见和歧视)”以及最后一段“According to the researcher this means that babies who have had more diverse social interactions can more easily let go of a stereotype later in life. They are more sensitive to social interaction and can more quickly let go of the image they have in their minds of their peers. (根据研究人员的说法，这意味着那些有更多样化社交互动的婴儿在以后的生活中更容易摆脱刻板印象。他们对社交互动更敏感，能更快地放下他们脑海中对同龄人的印象)”可知，婴儿接触多种面孔时，在识别和欣赏多样性方面会变得更熟练，划线单词表示 “熟练的，擅长的”，与Skillful意义相近。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Koch conducted her research using data from the Nijmegen longitudinal study. This study follows young people from infancy (婴儿期). First, the researchers looked at how frequently the teenagers had attended day care as babies.

(科赫利用奈梅亨纵向研究的数据进行了她的研究。这项研究从婴儿期开始跟踪年轻人。首先，研究人员调查了这些青少年婴儿时期上日托所的频率。然后，当这些年轻人长到17岁时，他们被安排玩一个游戏)”以及后文对游戏过程中不同婴儿期经历对17岁青少年行为影响的描述可知，游戏的目的是测试早期社会互动的影响。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Initially, the 17- year-olds adjusted their communicative patterns when they thought they were interacting with the child by placing more emphasis on their movements. (起初，17岁的青少年在认为自己在与孩子互动时，会通过更强调自己的动作来调整他们的交流模式)”可知，17岁的青少年最初认为在和孩子互动时，会更强调自己的特定动作。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to the researcher this means that babies who have had more diverse social interactions can more easily let go of a stereotype later in life. They are more sensitive to social interaction and can more quickly let go of the image they have in their minds of their peers. Koch says, “Gaining many diverse social experiences early in life allows us to adapt better to the needs of our partners in social interaction.”(根据研究人员的说法，这意味着在婴儿时期有更多样化社交互动的孩子在以后的生活中更容易摆脱刻板印象。他们对社交互动更敏感，能更快地摆脱心中对同龄人的固有印象。科赫说：“在生命早期获得许多不同的社交经验，能让我们在社交互动中更好地适应伴侣的需求。”)”可知，根据科赫的说法，婴儿与各种各样的人互动有助于他们未来的社交。故选A项。 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。 Review Our Worries We spend a lot of our lives worrying, but there’s one basic thing we almost never remember to do.____36____For example, one week, we might be worried about running out of money, the next of having offended a friend, and the third about being brought down by a rumour on social media. The worries go on and on, shifting unstoppably from one target to another.____37____ What we seldom spend time doing is pausing to compare the scale of the worry with what actually happened in the end. We are too taken up with the next worry to return for a composed review. However, if we force ourselves to perform one, a strange discovery is likely to dawn on us. ____38____We almost lost our minds to worry, but we didn’t run out of money in the end, our friend wasn’t offended, and so on.____39____Mark Twain’s famous saying comes to mind: “I have lived through many disasters, only a few of which actually happened.” ____40____If we got it so wrong in the past, we’re highly likely to get it wrong now too. Of course, we’re convinced that this is really and truly the end, but such a certainty was with us on many other situations which we appear to have sailed through well enough. Perhaps the world is not quite as awful as we assume. Perhaps most of the drama is ultimately unfolding in a place we need to explore and heal as fast as we can: our own minds. A. Our worries are nearly always out of line with reality. B. They ruin our precious time on Earth in the process. C. Ignore our worries and focus on more productive things. D. Go back and check how our worries matched up to reality. E. We might say that only 1% of our worries truly become awful. F. Our worries are caused by external factors beyond our control. G.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】treasured 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：从那天起，贝多芬的《第九交响曲》就成了古典音乐史上最著名且最珍贵的作品之一。分析句子可知，设空处与“famous”并列，共同修饰名词“pieces”，需填形容词作定语；“treasure”为名词，其形容词形式“treasured”表示“珍贵的、宝贵的”，故填 treasured。 69. Monet and Renoir, along with other like-minded artists, ________(seek) liberation from the rules of the old style.(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】sought 【解析】 【详解】考查谓语动词时态。句意：莫奈和雷诺阿以及其他志同道合的艺术家，在旧式规则中寻求解放。seek在此句做谓语动词，主语是Monet and Renoir。他们寻求解放是过去发生的动作，所以seek要用过去时，seek的过去时是sought。故填sought。 70. Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works, as opposed to the history paintings that _______ (dominate) European art. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】had dominated 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：日常题材是他们作品的主要焦点，而非那些主导了欧洲艺术的历史画作。分析句子结构并根据主句中的was和语境可知，此处为定语从句的谓语动词，主句为一般过去时，“历史画作主导欧洲艺术”这一动作发生在“日常题材成为焦点”之前，即“过去的过去”，应用过去完成时。故填had dominated。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 71. 假定你是李华，学校的英文广播电台要增设一个栏目，外教Jenny提出“Chinese folk music”和“American country music”两个选项供大家选择，请给Jenny写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.你的选择； 2.说明理由。 注意： 1.写作字数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jenny, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English broadcasting program. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文 Dear Jenny, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English broadcasting program.

The theme was Songs From Every Continent, and the kids would dress up like animals. “I’m going to have my own microphone and everything” Ryan yelled. He couldn’t wait for the concert to begin, but for me, it was challenging. Their school concerts were long, the chairs were uncomfortable, and I knew Ryan didn’t need me there for moral support. Still, it was my sisterly duty to attend. Thankfully, Ryan couldn’t read my mind. Before the concert even started, I already wanted to run away. “God, help me get through this,” I begged. The lights dimmed (变暗). Ryan took the stage, wearing what looked like a kangaroo. He picked up his microphone and said with a perfect accent, “Evening, mates.” He commented on the performances without a bit of nerves, just as I knew he would be. The part seemed perfect for him. No surprise there, but we were only halfway through the program! “Let’s clap for the next group,” Ryan said. A class of younger students stepped up to the stage, and it took a while for them to gather. I shifted in my seat, barely standing the concert any more. Then one student, called Michael, wearing monkey ears, shyly made his way to the standing microphone. I saw his lips move, but whatever he said had come out as a whisper. The boy looked confused. He tried again, but it was no use. Something was wrong with the microphone The boy hung his head, his monkey ears down- turned, and I wondered if he was crying. Everyone around me looked uncomfortable for the boy, but no one knew what to do. It never occurred to me that the incident would show me more about Ryan. 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。 “It’s okay, Michael,” a voice rang out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the concert. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】作答示例 “It’s okay, Michael,” a voice rang out. To my surprise, it was Ryan speaking confidently through the microphone. He moved quickly to the trembling boy’s side, calling him “a brave little monkey” and comforting him gently. Then Ryan handed his microphone to Michael and gave him a thumb-up. Michael collected himself. Taking a deep breath, he signaled his classmates to restart their song. With the last note fading away, cheers erupted instantly, washing away the earlier tension. Something changed secretly. I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the concert. No longer shifting about in the chair, I became absorbed in every performance. When looking at Ryan, I saw a more capable and confident boy on the stage. The concert flowed smoothly afterward. When Ryan finally announced the final, I rushed to the backstage with joyful excitement. I hugged him tightly, telling him I was so proud for his quick reaction and compassion. What a wonderful night! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者陪弟弟Ryan参加学校音乐会，起初觉得无聊，只想应付。弟弟作为主持人表现出色，而当另一个男孩因麦克风故障陷入窘境时，这件事让作者对弟弟有了新的认识。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“‘没事的，Michael，’ 一个声音响了起来。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Ryan自信地安慰麦克风出问题的Michael，助其完成演唱，紧张消散，作者对他改观。 ②由第二段首句内容“剩下的音乐会我听得津津有味。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者兴致勃勃看完剩余演出，见识到Ryan的能力与自信，音乐会结束后向他表达骄傲，那夜很美妙。 2.续写线索：Ryan安慰Michael——助Michael完成演唱——作者对Ryan改观——见识到Ryan的能力——为Ryan感到骄傲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.安慰：comfort/reassure/soothe ②.宣布： announce/declare ③.拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①.惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②.激动：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Let’s take a look at four of them. Italian beef sandwich Known around the city simply as a “beef”, this giant sandwich piles thinly sliced roast beef and green peppers on brown French bread, which has roots in the Italian American community in 1938. Dozens of Italian beef joints now exist in Chicago area, including Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park and Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich. The latter is popular among people who favor vegetable products. Italian sub Italian subs exist all over the country with different names. Chicago’s version originates from Vincenzo Graziano’s first sandwich store in 1922, who came to Chicago in 1905 without any money. At J.P. Graziano, now managed by Graziano’s great-grandson Jim Graziano, the Italian sub features hot pork sausage, plus tomato, red wine vinegar, which adds a deeper, richer flavor. Reuben Made with roasted beef Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. At Manny’s, you can taste the classic Reuben served with the award-winning roasted beef, which is the restaurant’s signature. Chicago-style hot dog Dating back to 1929, a Chicago Red Hot is made up of nine ingredients (原料). They include an all-beef frank, a steamed bread roll and a salad bar of toppings. As one of the city’s most popular spots for a Chicago dog, the family-owned roadside stand, Superdawg Drive-In, has served hot dogs since 1948. If you order a Chicago dog, the really critical detail is that you can’t see tomato source, which would ruin the perfect balance of the food. 21. Among the four must-eat Chicago sandwiches, which one has the longest history? A. Italian beef sandwich. B. Italian sub. C. Reuben. D. Chicago-style hot dog. 22. In which restaurant can you taste an award-winning sandwich? A. Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park. B. J.P. Graziano. C. Manny’s. D. Superdawg Drive-In. 23. Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from? A. Transport. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Science. B Astrid Poghosyan, a 28-year-old Armenian violinist, now working as a helper to the president of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, a celebrated orchestra in China’s most populous (人口稠密的) city, has achieved her dream as a musician. This summer, she has been busy making preparations for a series of in-person and online music events and cultural exchange programs, including a music festival in Shanghai and a live-streamed (直播的) international violin competition. Poghosyan said she always puts all her energy into the projects in which she is involved, whether they are offline or online events, as she believes that every little effort will help her realize her music-related dreams. Having studied and worked in China for 12 years, Poghosyan has now become a real China hand. Such a multicultural background has certainly helped her excel at her current job. “Poghosyan plays a very special role in our orchestra,” said Zhou Ping, president of the orchestra. “She has lived in China for long and loves the Chinese culture, and she knows how to use the advantage of a multicultural background in her work.” For Poghosyan, the life she now leads is quite different from when she first came to China in 2009 to study violin at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Then just 16, Poghosyan couldn’t speak a word of Chinese. “And my high-school-level English wasn’t of much help at that time,” she said. “So I decided to learn Chinese to solve the communication problem.” As she gradually immersed (沉浸) herself in the Chinese language and culture, she also started to make Chinese friends and explore the exciting city life of Shanghai. “Since I first came to Shanghai, I have always been impressed by the kindness and friendliness of the people here,” she said, “Their smiles have made me feel the warmth of the city.” 24. What does Poghosyan do in China at present? A. A hostess of a music festival. B. A president of an orchestra. C. A judge of some music events. D. An assistant of Zhou Ping. 25. How does Zhou Ping feel about Poghosyan’s performance? A. Disappointed. B. Inspired. C. Worried. D. Satisfied. 26. What was Poghosyan’s main challenge when she first arrived in China in 2009? A. Her poor violin skills. B. The unfamiliar city life. C The language barrier. D. The lack of musical events. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. An Armenian’s exciting academic life in Shanghai. B. The advantage of multicultural background in work. C. An Armenian musician realizing her dream in China. D. The love brought to an Armenian by Chinese people. C We have more ways to access music than at any time in history and a whole world of unfamiliar styles to explore. The thrill of discovering new songs and new sounds can enrich people of all ages. Except, most of the time, it doesn’t. Our willingness to explore new, unfamiliar music declines with age. Academics have coined the term “open-earedness” to describe this phenomenon. Until around the age of 11, children are generally happy to engage with unfamiliar music. Early adolescence sees a reduction in open-earedness, but is accompanied by an intense increase in interest in music more generally. Open-earedness increases slightly during young adulthood, and then declines as we age. A major study involving more than 250,000 participants confirmed these changing behaviors. It also showed that the significance we give to music after adolescence declines, and the amount of music we listen to reduces from a high point of 20% of our waking time during adolescence, to 13% in adulthood. Researchers have different theories to account for these trends. One explanation for age-based reduction in music consumption simply assumes that responsibility-burdened adults may have less free time at their disposal (自由支配) to explore their musical interests than younger people. Some interpret the observed decline in music engagement in terms of psychosocial maturation. Adolescents use music as an identity marker and engage with it to navigate social circles. Adults have developed personalities and established social groups. As such, drivers to engage with new music are lessened. Some researchers argue that we shouldn’t use a person’s age to predict if their musical taste will stay the same, without first thinking about how we enjoy and use music at different stages of our lives. Teenagers tend to be very aware of what they are listening to. Adults who use music as motivation or accompaniment for activities such as exercise or household chores may be less conscious of the extent to which they actually do listen to new music. 28. What does the term “open-earedness” refer to in the passage? A. The ability to play music. B. The willingness to explore new music. C. The interest in music during adolescence. D. The significance of music in daily life. 29. According to the study, how does the amount of music listened to change as we age? A. It remains consistent throughout life. B. It increases from childhood to adulthood. C. It peaks during adolescence and then decreases. D. It gradually declines from childhood to adulthood. 30. What factor is suggested as one cause for a reduced interest in new music as people age? A. An increase in hearing sharpness. B. Less spare time due to responsibilities. C. An intense decrease in interest in music. D. Changes in personality and social groups. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Music Consumption: A Lifelong Journey. B. Factors Influencing Music Engagement in Adults. C. Adolescents and Music: Identity and Exploration. D. Decline of Open-Earedness: Age Affects Music Exploration. D When babies are exposed to a variety of faces, they become more adept in recognizing and appreciating diversity, which can help reduce biases and prejudices as they grow. This is according to neuroscientist Saskia Koch of the Donders Institute and Radboud University. Koch conducted her research using data from the Nijmegen longitudinal study. This study follows young people from infancy (婴儿期). First, the researchers looked at how frequently the teenagers had attended day care as babies. Then, the same youngsters were assigned the duty of playing a game when they reached the age of 17. In the game, they had to work with another person they couldn’t see. Both players had the same goal: find an object on a gameboard. Only the 17-year-old knew where the item was. The 17-year-olds had to communicate this location to each other without using words. They had to design communicative patterns that would assist the other person in locating the object. This could be accomplished, for example, by performing specific movements. The 17-year-olds were informed they were playing with a 5-year-old in one game and an adult in another, despite the fact that it was the same individual each time. Initially, the 17- year-olds adjusted their communicative patterns when they thought they were interacting with the child by placing more emphasis on their movements. How quickly they abandoned this pattern depended on how much time they spent in day care. 17-year-olds who had come into contact with many different people as infants were more likely to get over a stereotype (刻板印象). They found out in the interaction that the “child” was also very good and then based their play on that. According to the researcher this means that babies who have had more diverse social interactions can more easily let go of a stereotype later in life. They are more sensitive to social interaction and can more quickly let go of the image they have in their minds of their peers. Koch says, “Gaining many diverse social experiences early in life allows us to adapt better to the needs of our partners in social interaction. ” 32. What does the underlined word “adept” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Forgetful. B. Skillful. C. Interested. D. Disappointed. 33. What was the purpose of the game in the study? A. To confirm the data from the Nijmegen study. B. To test the impacts of early social interactions. C. To enhance the youngsters’ cooperative ability. D. To assess the effects of communicative patterns. 34. How did the 17-year-olds first respond to the “child” in the game? A. They changed their fixed idea of a child. B. They adjusted the time spent on the game. C. They performed more specific movements. D. They employed verbal interactive patterns. 35. What helps babies with future social contacts according to Koch? A. Interacting with various people. B. Engaging with diverse peers. C. Adapting to the needs of partners. D. Letting go of the old images. 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。 Review Our Worries We spend a lot of our lives worrying, but there’s one basic thing we almost never remember to do.____36____For example, one week, we might be worried about running out of money, the next of having offended a friend, and the third about being brought down by a rumour on social media. The worries go on and on, shifting unstoppably from one target to another.____37____ What we seldom spend time doing is pausing to compare the scale of the worry with what actually happened in the end. We are too taken up with the next worry to return for a composed review. However, if we force ourselves to perform one, a strange discovery is likely to dawn on us. ____38____We almost lost our minds to worry, but we didn’t run out of money in the end, our friend wasn’t offended, and so on.____39____Mark Twain’s famous saying comes to mind: “I have lived through many disasters, only a few of which actually happened.” ____40____If we got it so wrong in the past, we’re highly likely to get it wrong now too. Of course, we’re convinced that this is really and truly the end, but such a certainty was with us on many other situations which we appear to have sailed through well enough. Perhaps the world is not quite as awful as we assume. Perhaps most of the drama is ultimately unfolding in a place we need to explore and heal as fast as we can: our own minds. A. Our worries are nearly always out of line with reality. B. They ruin our precious time on Earth in the process. C. Ignore our worries and focus on more productive things. D. Go back and check how our worries matched up to reality. E. We might say that only 1% of our worries truly become awful. F. Our worries are caused by external factors beyond our control. G. We should use the data about the unreliability of our fears as a guide to the future. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Sheela’s 93-year-old grandpa suffers from Alzheimer’s and has lost his memory.

He couldn’t wait for the concert to begin, but for me, it was challenging. Their school concerts were long, the chairs were uncomfortable, and I knew Ryan didn’t need me there for moral support. Still, it was my sisterly duty to attend. Thankfully, Ryan couldn’t read my mind. Before the concert even started, I already wanted to run away. “God, help me get through this,” I begged. The lights dimmed (变暗). Ryan took the stage, wearing what looked like a kangaroo. He picked up his microphone and said with a perfect accent, “Evening, mates.” He commented on the performances without a bit of nerves, just as I knew he would be. The part seemed perfect for him. No surprise there, but we were only halfway through the program! “Let’s clap for the next group,” Ryan said. A class of younger students stepped up to the stage, and it took a while for them to gather. I shifted in my seat, barely standing the concert any more. Then one student, called Michael, wearing monkey ears, shyly made his way to the standing microphone. I saw his lips move, but whatever he said had come out as a whisper. The boy looked confused. He tried again but it was no use. Something was wrong with the microphone The boy hung his head, his monkey ears down- turned, and I wondered if he was crying. Everyone around me looked uncomfortable for the boy, but no one knew what to do. It never occurred to me that the incident would show me more about Ryan. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “It’s okay, Michael,” a voice rang out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the concert. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
