"At least you'll be close to home!"That phrase ran through the weeks before my move to my college.I
took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it.
The night before the move,.I spoke with a sophomore(大学二年级)friend of mine who was moving back
the next morning.I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate.
"It was nice to be back but honestly,I've come to think of the college as my home."Up until that moment,
the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp.School wasn't a home;it was a place
for me to explore when I was away from home,right?

shared-about our families,friends,and old lives-and soon the sadness turned to fondness.One by one

A Cross-Country Running Race
Last Sunday witnessed an extraordinary cross-country running race, which nearly drew the attention of every student and teacher of our school.
The students selected from every class participated in the competition. The route measured five kilometers, from our school gate to the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Every runner made their efforts to finish the task, with their classmates along the way giving them necessary help as well as encouragement. At last, all the runners managed to arrive at the finish line, receiving cheers from all the directions.
The activity was highly spoken of, because not only did it provide a chance for us to exercise, but it also made us more united as members of a group.

After a few minutes of silence, she whispered to Sarah, “I need to tell you something.” Her voice trembled as she admitted copying parts of the essay, her cheeks turning red with shame. Sarah’s eyes widened in surprise at first, but then she gave Anne’s shoulder a comforting pat. “It takes courage to admit mistakes,” Sarah said firmly. “Let’s go to tell Mrs. White together.” With Sarah’s support, Anne carefully wrote a sincere apology letter, explaining exactly what she had done wrong and promising to make up for it with her own hard work.
Sarah held Anne’s hand tightly as they walked towards Mrs. White’s office. Anne’s palms were sweaty and her heart raced, but she kept walking. When Mrs. White read the letter, her serious expression gradually softened. “I appreciate your honesty,” she said finally. “Everyone makes mistakes, but only brave people correct them.” That evening, Anne stayed up late rewriting her essay completely on her own. Though the new version wasn’t as perfect as the copied one, it was truly hers. As she handed it in the next day, Anne realized that being honest might be difficult, but it always leaves you feeling lighter and prouder.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Anne的抄袭事件为线索展开,讲述了她因一时冲动抄袭杂志内容完成英语论文,受到老师表扬后内心备受煎熬,最终在好友Sarah的鼓励下勇敢承认错误并重新完成论文的故事。

M: Maybe you should hire a babysitter to help you out!
W: I know, but it’s hard to find the right person. You have to consider her previous work experience, the responsibilities you give her, and how she interacts with the kids. I would love to have someone to help me out, though.
M: I think you should definitely consider it! I can refer you to this great babysitter, Amy. She used to work for my neighbors. She’s very responsible, a great cook, and great with kids.
W: Oh, that’s great. Can you give me her number? I’ll talk it over with Dan and give her a call tomorrow. Maybe this way I won’t be so occupied every day, and Dan and I might even get to go on a date once in a while.

【解析】
【原文】Have you ever heard of a man named Buckminster Fuller? He was a scientist, an inventor, and also a great architect. What made Buckminster so special was his concern for the planet and humans. When you have a shortage of resources, he said, you get war. Thus, he claimed that to solve humans’ major problems, we have to anticipate what will become problems as resources reduce.
He was especially interested in developing more efficient housing; that is, a new way of constructing buildings so that they provide more housing space with the use of fewer resources. One solution he came up with in the late 1940s was a structure shaped like a piece of the globe, which amazed the world and brought him international reputation. That’s it for today’s Daily Takeaway. Tomorrow we’ll introduce one of the most influential lecturers in Oxford University.

B篇【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对大学宿舍从陌生到逐渐视为家的情感转变过程。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段“I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate.(我问他离开家是否难过,他的回答在我心中引发了一场争论)”可知,她对二年级朋友的回答存在疑问,感到困惑。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It was absolutely nothing like my room: no bunnies, no blue curtains and no queen-sized bed. Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week, I couldn’t bring myself to call it home. I longed for my bunnies. I even wanted my mom’s calls.(它和我的房间一点也不像:没有兔子,没有蓝色的窗帘,也没有大床。尽管在接下来的迎新周里我玩得很开心,学到了很多东西,但我还是无法让自己称它为家。我想念我的兔子。我甚至还盼着妈妈的电话)”可知,作者列举宿舍没有家里的“兔子”等熟悉的物品,表达了对家的思念,故“兔子”暗示作者当时不习惯大学宿舍生活。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.(直到凌晨1点左右,我才转向我的室友,说:“时间不早了。我们可能该回家了。”我对自己的话感到惊讶。不知怎么的,在几个小时里,我的宿舍变成了家)”可知,作者惊讶于自己说的话是因为她开始自然地把大学宿舍称为家了。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences.(昨晚,我去拜访了我的朋友们,接下来的一个小时里,我们都在谈论我们都有的那种失落感——关于我们的家人、朋友和旧生活——很快,悲伤变成了喜爱。我们的朋友们一个接一个地进来道晚安,房间里挤满了女孩,大家都在笑着分享我们的高中经历)”及“Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.(不知怎的,就在这几个小时里,我的宿舍房间已经变成了一个家)”可知,与朋友分享的感受让作者开始把大学当作家。故选B。
c篇【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了教学如何促进自身学习及其背后的原理。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““While we teach, we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up to date. (罗马哲学家Seneca说:“我们教的时候,也在学。”现在,科学家们正在将这一古老的智慧带到现代。)”可知,文章开头引用Seneca的话是为了引出文章主题——教学促进学习。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” — a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. (但目前正在开发的最前沿的工具是“可教的智能体”——一个像现实世界中的学生一样学习、尝试、犯错和提问的计算机角色。计算机科学家创造了一个名为Betty’s Brain的动画人物,数百名中学生已经“教”过它环境科学。)”可知,Betty’s Brain是一个正在开发中的教学工具。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The agent’s questions force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action. (智能体的问题迫使学生导师用不同的方式思考和解释材料,而观察智能体解决问题则让他们看到自己的知识付诸实践。)”可知,学生们用不同的方式向可教的智能体解释材料。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor (辅导) others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. (研究人员发现,报名辅导他人的学生更努力地理解材料,更准确地回忆材料,并更有效地应用材料。)”可知,文章主要介绍了教学如何促进自身学习及其背后的原理,如通过辅导他人来加深自己的理解、应用可教的智能体等,因此文章的写作目的是解释教学如何促进自身学习。故选B。
D篇【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现风力涡轮机对鸟类的影响微乎其微。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“a new analysis of American data suggests the numbers(但一项对美国数据的新分析表明)”以及划线单词后的“and have little impact on bird populations.(并且对鸟类种群的影响很小。)”可知,一项对美国数据的新分析表明涡轮机对鸟类数量的影响不大,由此可知,划线单词negligible的意思应与“不重要”或者“微不足道”意思相近。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Erik Katovich, an economist at the University of Geneva, made use of the Christmas Bird Count, a citizen-science project run by the National Audubon Society.(日内瓦大学的经济学家埃里克·卡托维奇(Erik Katovich)利用了圣诞鸟类统计,这是一个由美国国家奥杜邦协会(National Audubon Society)运营的公民科学项目。)”可知,Erik Katovich的结论是基于奥杜邦协会公民科学项目“the Christmas Bird Count”获取的数据。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Comparing bird populations to the locations of new gas wells revealed an average 15% drop in bird numbers when new wells were drilled, probably due to a combination of noise, air pollution and the disturbance of rivers and ponds that many birds rely upon. When drilling happened in migration centers, feeding grounds or breeding locations, bird numbers instead dropped by 25%.(将鸟类数量与新气井的位置进行比较发现,当新气井钻探时,鸟类数量平均下降了15%,这可能是由于噪音、空气污染以及鸟类赖以生存的河流和池塘的干扰。当钻探发生在迁徙中心、觅食地或繁殖地时,鸟类数量反而下降了25%。)”可知,油气钻探造成了鸟类数量的减少,由此可以推断,油气钻探给鸟类的生存带来了严重的威胁。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“It appears to be significantly less damaging to wildlife, too(它对野生动物的伤害似乎也要小得多。)”以及上文中分析的涡轮机和油气钻探对鸟类数量的影响可知,作者认为相对于油气钻探来说,风力涡轮机对鸟类的影响较小,由此可以推断,作者会同意风力涡轮机可以与野生动物共存。故选A项。
