My discomfort grew as everyone else gave their answers. When my turn came, I swallowed and said I was in my sixth year. “I think it is the student’s problem if she spends over 5 years finishing a PhD,” the speaker replied. His comment was the final shot. Right from the start of graduate school, I had been aware that the requirements of my department and my adviser might make my PhD take longer than average. Students need to publish two first-author papers to graduate and my adviser requires his students to take the lead in all experiments so we can have full ownership of our work and develop various scientific techniques. I was comfortable with taking longer to become an independent scientist. My adviser had some projects he wanted to handle and I chose one to work on knowing I could draw on his expertise (专业知识) and gain support from lab mates. However, I investigated 10 different hypotheses (假说) — just to prove each a dead end. Each time the only choice was to make the next likely hypothesis and start over in a different direction. The lack of progress was wearing me down. Then came the speaker’s comment. I broke down and went to my adviser. He pointed out that over the past 6 years I had mastered many difficult techniques. My growing expertise was comparable with the very best. If I didn’t have the answer to my research question yet, it was because of the complexity (复杂性) of the answer, not because of personal weaknesses. This viewpoint calmed me. It helped me push forward with determination and willpower. Under my adviser’s continued guidance and support, I hit on a hypothesis that worked out and I graduated finally. Looking back on my PhD life, I realized many graduate students were in the same boat as I was. I wish I could tell them what I came to learn: No one’s PhD journey is the same; all we need to do is stick to it. 4. What contributed to the author’s longer-than-average PhD journey? A. The complex project she’d worked on. B. Her lack of desire to complete the research. C. Her poor understanding of scientific techniques and skills. D. The high standards set by the department and the adviser. 5. What can we learn about the author throughout the research process? A. She turned a deaf ear to others’ advice. B. She lacked talent for scientific research. C. She met with many struggles and failures. D. She easily gave up when faced with challenges. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s adviser? A. Unhelpful. B. Supportive. C. Thoughtful. D. Demanding. 7. What lesson can we draw from the author’s experience? A. All the roads lead to Rome. B. Well begun is half done. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述作者攻读博士学位的艰难经历告诉我们成功属于坚持不懈的人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Right from the start of graduate school, I had been aware that the requirements of my department and my adviser might make my PhD take longer than average. Students need to publish two first-author papers to graduate and my adviser requires his students to take the lead in all experiments so we can have full ownership of our work and develop various scientific techniques.(从研究生院开始，我就意识到我的部门和我的导师的要求可能会使我的博士学位比平均时间要长。学生需要发表两篇第一作者论文才能毕业，我的导师要求他的学生在所有实验中都发挥带头作用，这样我们就可以对我们的工作有充分的所有权，并开发各种科学技术。)”可知，是院系和导师制定的高标准促成了作者比一般人更长的博士之旅。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Each time the only choice was to make the next likely hypothesis and start over in a different direction. The lack of progress was wearing me down.(每次唯一的选择就是做出下一个可能的假设，然后从不同的方向重新开始。缺乏进展使我精疲力竭)”可知，在整个研究过程中作者遇到了许多困难和失败。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“He pointed out that over the past 6 years I had mastered many difficult techniques. My growing expertise was comparable with the very best. If I didn’t have the answer to my research question yet, it was because of the complexity (复杂性) of the answer, not because of personal weaknesses. This viewpoint calmed me. It helped me push forward with determination and willpower. Under my adviser’s continued guidance and support, I hit on a hypothesis that worked out and I graduated finally.(他指出，在过去的6年里，我掌握了许多高难度的技术。我不断增长的专业知识可以与最好的相媲美。如果我还没有找到我研究问题的答案，那是因为答案太复杂，而不是因为我个人的弱点。这个观点使我平静下来。它帮助我以决心和意志力向前推进。在导师的不断指导和支持下，我想出了一个可行的假说，最终毕业了)”可知，导师给予作者鼓励、帮助和支持。B选项“Supportive(给予帮助的，支持的，鼓励的)”最能描述作者的导师。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文内容，尤其根据文章最后一段“Looking back on my PhD life, I realized many graduate students were in the same boat as I was. I wish I could tell them what I came to learn: No one’s PhD journey is the same; all we need to do is stick to it.(回顾我的博士生涯，我意识到很多研究生都和我一样。我希望我能告诉他们我来这里的目的：没有人的博士之旅是相同的；我们要做的就是坚持下去)”可知，作者通过他读博的经历告诉我们坚持的重要性，所以C选项“稳扎稳打赢得比赛”符合题意。故选C项。 C Following its move into podcasting (播客) two years ago, streaming platform Spotify started an audiobook (有声书) business. Though it has yet to start making its own recordings, last autumn it made a deal for 200,000 audiobooks to be available to its VIP users. Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”. Dramatised audiobooks are not an entirely new phenomenon. The use of multiple voices made them accessible to readers who might not have had the patience for the written versions. For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”. Even single-voice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe. To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books. So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions — both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us — we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both. 8. What strategy did Audible use to maintain its market leader position? A. Creating its own prize-winning audiobook content. B. Focusing on single-voice audiobook productions. C. Offering low-priced audiobooks to its new customers. D. Inviting a well-known director to record classic novels. 9. How does the author present the effects of different versions of audiobooks? A. By giving examples. B. By sharing readers’ experiences. C. By presenting data. D. By referring to experts’ words. 10. What is the purpose of the last but one paragraph? A. To show the advantages of audiobooks. B To compare audiobooks with printed texts. C. To inform readers of findings about audiobooks. D. To stress audiobooks’ value in treating dyslexia. 11. What is the author’s view on the future of audiobooks and printed texts? A. It depends on the choices of readers. B. Both of them hold the future of reading. C. Audiobook popularity is not expected to last. D. Audiobooks will eventually replace printed texts. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章讨论了有声书的兴起及其与印刷书籍的差异，强调两者各有优势，未来将共存。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”.(亚马逊旗下的Audible公司也不甘被打败，它一直以来都是市场的领导者。该公司也提升了自己的水平，聘请了奥斯卡获奖导演萨姆·门德斯为狄更斯的小说《雾都孤儿》和《大卫·科波菲尔》录制多声部版本，并于上月宣布与J. K. 罗琳的《哈利·波特》系列唱片达成协议，由100多名演员配音，并以“突破性的新音景”为特色)”可知，Audible公司邀请了知名导演录制经典小说来保持市场领先地位。故选D。 9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”.(例如，乔治·桑德斯的《林肯在中阴界》中，亚伯拉罕·林肯死去的儿子被一群灵魂的声音包围，成为一个伟大的“发现大人物”的游戏)”及第四段“Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe.(露西·埃尔曼的热门作品《鸭子，纽伯里波特》就是一个很好的例子：一个俄亥俄女人用一句话写了一千页的思想流。它以一段45小时的音频独白展开，这完全不是一回事，因为演员需要呼吸)”可知，作者通过具体案例呈现有声书的效果。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books.(说音频版本不同并不意味着它们不如印刷文本好，因为脑部扫描显示，它们刺激的是大脑的相同部分。此外，根据一项最新研究，听故事比看故事更能让人心跳加快。对于有阅读障碍的人来说，他们甚至可以成为生命线——就像他们可以成为那些没有时间或没有读书习惯的人一样)”可知，本段展示了有声读物的优势。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions — both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us — we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both.(因此，当我们庆祝有声书与纸质书的共同之处时——两者都能让大脑在一个预先制作的图像经常为我们做所有工作的世界里创造自己的图像——我们也应该认识到，它们被翻译成一种不同的媒介，即使是作者自己读的。可以肯定的是，两者都有发展空间)”可知，作者认为有声书和纸质书都掌握着阅读的未来。故选B。 D The pleasure people get from a piece of music has been linked to its effects on our emotional responses and ability to form social connections. The degree of enjoyment differs from person to person, but little is known about why. To see if genetics (遗传学) can account for it, Giacomo Bignardi at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands and his colleagues conducted a new study. The researchers looked at more than 9,000 twins from the Swedish Twin Registry. About 3,400 were identical (同卵的) and 5,600 non-identical. The former share the same genome (基因组), while non-identical twins share only half their genomes, which enabled the researchers to determine the effects of genes through comparison. Besides, all the twins in the study were raised in the same households and so grew up with similar environmental influences. This made it easier to sort out genetic contributions. The researchers got the twins to complete the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire, which focused on how much pleasure they get from music. For example, they were asked the extent to which they agreed with statements such as “when I share music with someone I feel a special connection with that person” and “in my free time I hardly listen to music”. The result showed that genes seem to play a significant role in influencing how much pleasure music brings, with the identical twins being more than twice as similar in this feature as the non-identical ones. “While it’s fairly understandable that musical ability might have a genetic basis, which provides an easy explanation for why some people seem to have a talent for music, it’s obscure that the degree of pleasure from listening to music is influenced by genes, so it is inspiring that the study finds this effect,” says Peter Harrison at the University of Cambridge. However, Nick Collins at Durham University, UK thinks differently. “Certain musical abilities and preferences may be influenced by genetics, but there are a large number of cultural elements in music development that are not addressed by genetics alone,” he says. 12. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. How twins contribute to the progress of genetic research. B. Why the researchers chose the twins as research subjects. C. What makes the new study different from previous ones. D. What inspired the researchers to conduct the new study. 13. What is the finding of the new study? A. The secret of musical talent lies in our genes. B. Our genes determine what kind of music we like. C. Our genes can influence how much we enjoy music. D. The pleasure that different people get from music varies greatly. 14. Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 4? A. easy to conclude. B. reasonable to assume. C. impossible to prove. D. difficult to see. 15. What is Nick Collins’ attitude towards the research finding? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于基因对人们从音乐中获得快乐的影响的研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers looked at more than 9,000 twins from the Swedish Twin Registry. About 3,400 were identical (同卵的) and 5,600 non-identical. The former share the same genome (基因组), while non-identical twins share only half their genomes, which enabled the researchers to determine the effects of genes through comparison. Besides, all the twins in the study were raised in the same households and so grew up with similar environmental influences. This made it easier to sort out genetic contributions.(研究人员观察了瑞典双胞胎登记处的9000多名双胞胎。其中大约3400对是同卵双胞胎，5600对是异卵双胞胎。前者拥有相同的基因组，而异卵双胞胎只共享一半的基因组，这使得研究人员能够通过比较来确定基因的影响。此外，研究中的所有双胞胎都在同一个家庭中长大，因此成长环境相似。这使得区分基因的贡献变得更容易。)”可知，研究人员选择双胞胎作为研究对象是因为他们可以通过比较同卵双胞胎和异卵双胞胎的基因差异来确定基因的影响；由此可知，从第二段可以了解为什么研究人员选择双胞胎作为研究对象。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The result showed that genes seem to play a significant role in influencing how much pleasure music brings, with the identical twins being more than twice as similar in this feature as the non-identical ones.(结果表明，基因似乎在影响音乐带来的快乐程度方面发挥着重要作用，同卵双胞胎在这一特征上的相似性是非同卵双胞胎的两倍多。)”可知，这项新研究的发现是我们的基因可以影响我们从音乐中获得多少快乐。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“While it’s fairly understandable that musical ability might have a genetic basis, which provides an easy explanation for why some people seem to have a talent for music.(虽然音乐能力可能有遗传基础是相当容易理解的，这为为什么有些人似乎有音乐天赋提供了一个简单的解释。)可知，“obscure”所在的部分与上文是转折关系，上文说音乐能力有遗传基础是容易理解的，那么可推测出“obscure”的意思应该是“不容易看出”或“难以察觉”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Certain musical abilities and preferences may be influenced by genetics, but there are a large number of cultural elements in music development that are not addressed by genetics alone.(某些音乐能力和偏好可能受到遗传学的影响，但在音乐发展中存在大量文化元素，这些元素并非仅由遗传学所能解释。)”可知，Nick Collins认为这项研究结果有疑点，即他对此持怀疑态度。故选B。 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。 Sometimes, it’s good to be bored “I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom.____16____ That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? ____17____ In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver. “An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “____18____” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever. The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “___19___” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone. ____20____ The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one. A. And there is, of course, bad boredom. B. Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas. C. But what if boredom is a meaningful experience? D. These moments are a lot more valuable than expected. E. Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless. F. We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices. G. When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了无聊的好处，两项研究发现无聊可以激发创造力，并提出我们应该学会区分好的无聊和糟糕的无聊。 【16题详解】 上文提到““I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom.(在契诃夫1897年的戏剧《万尼亚叔叔》中，年轻的妻子叶莲娜抱怨道：“我无聊得要死。”当然，如果叶莲娜在今天，我们知道她会做什么：拿出她的智能手机，找一些有趣的事情。今天摆脱无聊很容易)”指出人们讨厌无聊，总是想摆脱无聊。C项“But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?(但如果无聊是一种有意义的体验呢?)”与上文构成转折关系，引出下文两项研究的新发现：无聊可以激发创造力，同时C项中“boredom is a meaningful experience”与下文中“That”构成指代关系。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result?(在第一项研究中，研究人员让受试者做一些无聊的事情，比如从电话簿中抄录数字，然后进行创造性思维的测试。结果呢?)”提到一项关于创造性思维的研究并提出问题。B项“Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.(无聊的受试者提出了更多有创造性的想法)”回答问题给出答案，说明在这项研究中无聊的受试者提出了更多有创造性的想法，上下文语意连贯。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文提到“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,(焦躁不安的头脑渴望刺激，因此无聊成为一种寻求的状态)”说明无聊会让人寻求新的东西。G项“When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.(当你不满足于你的状态时，你就会去寻找和投入)”与上文语意一致，也是中央兰开夏大学的心理学家Sandi Mann的观点，说明无聊会激发人的探索和创新精神。同时下文“kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.(“无事可做”的孩子们最终会发明一些有趣的游戏来玩——用纸板箱、电灯开关等等)”对此进行了举例说明，上下文语意连贯。故选G。 【19题详解】 设空句和下文“This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.(这可能会让我们暂时缓解无聊，但它会阻止我们更深层次的思考)”都是Mann的观点，根据下文中“This might relieve us temporarily(这或许会让我们暂时放松)”可知，设空句会提到一种暂时缓解无聊的方法。F项“We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.(我们试图用移动设备打发无聊的每一刻)”中提出我们用移动设备打发无聊，与下文“This”构成指代关系，上下文语意连贯。故选F。 【20题详解】 下文“The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything.(好的类型激励你看到它（带来的好的）结果。相反，糟糕的类型会让你感到疲惫，让你觉得自己什么都懒得做)”提到两种不同类型的无聊。A项“And there is, of course, bad boredom.(当然，也有糟糕的无聊)”引出下文对两种无聊类型的对比和讨论，上下文语意连贯。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Edmond was a school bus driver for 22 years. One morning, the rain pouring down, he and the bus monitor Valentine were called to ____21____ a student who missed the bus. What ____22____ them was that the student didn’t appear when they reached the specified place. Edmond and Valentine didn’t expect they had a larger ____23____ to achieve. Just around the corner, they found two children ____24____ in the rushing floodwaters. The boy and the girl were struggling to hold onto a ____25____ to avoid being swept away. Edmond and Valentine couldn’t ____26____ to save them, but neither could swim. Jumping into action meant putting their own ____27____ on the line. Since the bus was for special needs children, it was ____28____ with removable seat belts. They got a (n) ____29____. Immediately they tied the seat belts together so as to _____30_____ the children. Close-by neighbors additionally got here to _____31_____, and the group made combined efforts to _____32_____ the boy and the girl from the tree.

Speaking up, especially in front of my classmates, has always been difficult for me. In class, I tend to avoid the teacher’s look and rarely volunteer answers. I find myself more comfortable observing from the sidelines, quietly taking notes and participating only when absolutely necessary. So, when our teacher assigned a group project to create a mind map (思维导图) for a travel journal, I felt completely lost. It seemed like a huge task, and I had no idea where to begin. The thought of working with a group and contributing my ideas was difficult. We were supposed to work in groups of four, and I wasn’t sure if I could contribute enough to make it a success. I was stressed by the idea of cooperating with others, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I had the creative skills they would expect for something like a mind map. My friend Alice noticed my hesitation and immediately invited me to join her group. She said, “You should join Chris, Ryan, and me. You’re so creative, and I know that you’ll bring something great to the table.” She even mentioned how I had helped her before by creating small stories to memorize words, and how my creativity always surprised her. I was touched by her faith in me, but despite her encouragement, I was still unsure. I didn’t feel confident about my ability to contribute to the group, especially when it came to something as creative as a mind map. I feared that my ideas might not be good enough or that I would let the team down. The thought of standing out in front of everyone with my contributions felt challenging. But Alice insisted, gently encouraging me to give it a try, promising me that we could work together and that my creativity would be valuable. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join. Alice, Chris, and Ryan were welcoming, and we dove into the project. As we brainstormed, I felt more confident. Initially, I was hesitant to speak up, but Alice’s encouragement helped me push through. I suggested ideas for the mind map, including how to organize the sections. The others liked my suggestions, and I realized I had more to contribute. By the end, we had a solid plan, and I felt proud. When our teacher announced we would present, Alice turned to me and said, “You should present with me. You’ve done great work.” Despite my nervousness, I agreed, knowing with Alice by my side, I could manage the presentation. The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class. As she confidently explained how we had organized our ideas, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. When it was my turn, I took a deep breath and began explaining the sections I had worked on, focusing on using a timeline to connect the events in the travel journal. Alice highlighted my contributions, emphasizing that the creative idea was mine. The class nodded in approval, and our teacher smiled, offering positive feedback. Hearing the praise, I felt a rush of pride and relief. It wasn’t just about the project — it was about stepping out of my comfort zone and realizing I had something valuable to offer, something I had never fully recognized before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作为一名害羞的高中生，作者在小组合作完成旅行日志思维导图项目时倍感迷茫，担心自己无法胜任。好友爱丽丝察觉到作者的犹豫，邀请作者加入小组并肯定作者的创造力。虽仍有不安，但在她的鼓励下，作者开始尝试克服羞怯，思考如何在团队中发挥自身优势。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“犹豫片刻后，我最终同意加入小组。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者在爱丽丝鼓励下加入小组，从犹豫到自信提出建议，最后答应和她一起做展示。 ②由第二段首句内容“下一节课，我和爱丽丝向全班展示了小组的思维导图。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者与爱丽丝展示小组思维导图，获认可，认识到自己走出舒适区的价值。 2.续写线索：同意加入小组——自信地提出建议——一起做展示——展示小组思维导图——获认可——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.帮助：help/assist/aid ②.建议：advise/suggest ③.说：say/ utter 情绪类 ①.焦虑：nervousness/anxiety/ worry ②.兴奋：excitement/thrill/exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1].

We welcome Zoo Teens to volunteer more than once per month if they are available. All Zoo Teens must be between the ages of 13 and 16 on January 1 of the year of their program and have an interest in animals, the environment, and working with guests. ZOO TEEN COMMITMENT (承诺) Once accepted, Zoo Teens must: *complete the initial training program and pass a background check *pass a final exam with a score of at least 80% *volunteer at least 20 hours during May and August, and an additional five hours during June and July *attend 7 out of 10 assigned (指定的) Saturday or Sunday volunteer days (weekend assignments are not required in June and July) *attend at least one protection event per year *assist with at least one special event per year HOW TO APPLY Teens interested in this program must complete and present an application. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Applications are scored equally using a rubric (说明) — this is a tool that allows the applicants to know how each answer will be scored, and teens are encouraged to turn to the rubric on the application while producing their responses. The top 50-55 applicants are interviewed in November; of these, about 40 teens are invited to join the Zoo Teen program. All applicants are contacted in November regarding their application result. 1. What is required of a Zoo Teen? A. He must be at least 18 years old. B. He must have volunteering experience. C. He must finish the initial training program. D He must volunteer on weekends in June and July. 2. How long is a Zoo Teen expected to work during June and July at least? A. 5 hours. B. 15 hours.

B “Tell me your names and which year of graduate school you’re in,” the visiting speaker asked. My discomfort grew as everyone else gave their answers. When my turn came, I swallowed and said I was in my sixth year. “I think it is the student’s problem if she spends over 5 years finishing a PhD,” the speaker replied. His comment was the final shot. Right from the start of graduate school, I had been aware that the requirements of my department and my adviser might make my PhD take longer than average. Students need to publish two first-author papers to graduate and my adviser requires his students to take the lead in all experiments so we can have full ownership of our work and develop various scientific techniques. I was comfortable with taking longer to become an independent scientist. My adviser had some projects he wanted to handle and I chose one to work on, knowing I could draw on his expertise (专业知识) and gain support from lab mates. However, I investigated 10 different hypotheses (假说) — just to prove each a dead end. Each time the only choice was to make the next likely hypothesis and start over in a different direction. The lack of progress was wearing me down. Then came the speaker’s comment. I broke down and went to my adviser. He pointed out that over the past 6 years I had mastered many difficult techniques. My growing expertise was comparable with the very best. If I didn’t have the answer to my research question yet, it was because of the complexity (复杂性) of the answer, not because of personal weaknesses. This viewpoint calmed me. It helped me push forward with determination and willpower. Under my adviser’s continued guidance and support, I hit on a hypothesis that worked out and I graduated finally. Looking back on my PhD life, I realized many graduate students were in the same boat as I was. I wish I could tell them what I came to learn: No one’s PhD journey is the same; all we need to do is stick to it. 4. What contributed to the author’s longer-than-average PhD journey? A. The complex project she’d worked on. B. Her lack of desire to complete the research. C. Her poor understanding of scientific techniques and skills. D. The high standards set by the department and the adviser. 5. What can we learn about the author throughout the research process? A. She turned a deaf ear to others’ advice. B. She lacked talent for scientific research. C. She met with many struggles and failures. D. She easily gave up when faced with challenges. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s adviser? A. Unhelpful. B. Supportive. C. Thoughtful. D. Demanding. 7. What lesson can we draw from the author’s experience? A. All the roads lead to Rome. B. Well begun is half done. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Following its move into podcasting (播客) two years ago, streaming platform Spotify started an audiobook (有声书) business. Though it has yet to start making its own recordings, last autumn it made a deal for 200,000 audiobooks to be available to its VIP users. Not to be beaten, Amazon-owned Audible, which had been used to being the market leader, upped its game, hiring Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes to record multi-voice versions (版本 ) of Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, and announcing last month that it had reached an agreement for a recording of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, voiced by more than 100 actors and featuring a “groundbreaking new soundscape”. Dramatised audiobooks are not an entirely new phenomenon. The use of multiple voices made them accessible to readers who might not have had the patience for the written versions. For example, George Saunders’s Lincoln in the Bardo, which surrounded the dead son of Abraham Lincoln with a group of spirit voices, became a great game of “spot the big name”. Even single-voice readings can significantly change literature in which style is at the heart. Lucy Ellmann’s hit Ducks, Newburyport, is a case in point: a thousand-page stream of an Ohio woman’s thoughts, written in a single sentence. It unfolds on audio as a 45-hour monologue (独白), which is not the same thing at all, if only because an actor needs to breathe. To say that audio versions are different does not mean they are not as good as printed texts, as brain scans (扫描) have shown that they excite the same parts of the brain. Additionally, listening to stories makes hearts beat stronger than watching them, according to a latest study. For people with dyslexia (阅读障碍), they can even be a lifeline — as they can be for those who do not have time for, or the habit of, reading books. So while we celebrate what audiobooks have in common with their printed versions — both enable the brain to create its own pictures in a world where pre-produced images too often do all the work for us — we should also recognize that they are translations into a different medium, even when read by the authors themselves. What is certain is that there is room for both. 8. What strategy did Audible use to maintain its market leader position? A. Creating its own prize-winning audiobook content. B.

D The pleasure people get from a piece of music has been linked to its effects on our emotional responses and ability to form social connections. The degree of enjoyment differs from person to person, but little is known about why. To see if genetics (遗传学) can account for it, Giacomo Bignardi at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands and his colleagues conducted a new study. The researchers looked at more than 9,000 twins from the Swedish Twin Registry. About 3,400 were identical (同卵的) and 5,600 non-identical. The former share the same genome (基因组), while non-identical twins share only half their genomes, which enabled the researchers to determine the effects of genes through comparison. Besides, all the twins in the study were raised in the same households and so grew up with similar environmental influences. This made it easier to sort out genetic contributions. The researchers got the twins to complete the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire, which focused on how much pleasure they get from music. For example, they were asked the extent to which they agreed with statements such as “when I share music with someone I feel a special connection with that person” and “in my free time I hardly listen to music”. The result showed that genes seem to play a significant role in influencing how much pleasure music brings, with the identical twins being more than twice as similar in this feature as the non-identical ones. “While it’s fairly understandable that musical ability might have a genetic basis, which provides an easy explanation for why some people seem to have a talent for music, it’s obscure that the degree of pleasure from listening to music is influenced by genes, so it is inspiring that the study finds this effect,” says Peter Harrison at the University of Cambridge. However, Nick Collins at Durham University, UK thinks differently. “Certain musical abilities and preferences may be influenced by genetics, but there are a large number of cultural elements in music development that are not addressed by genetics alone,” he says. 12. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. How twins contribute to the progress of genetic research. B. Why the researchers chose the twins as research subjects. C. What makes the new study different from previous ones. D. What inspired the researchers to conduct the new study. 13. What is the finding of the new study? A. The secret of musical talent lies in our genes. B. Our genes determine what kind of music we like. C. Our genes can influence how much we enjoy music. D. The pleasure that different people get from music varies greatly. 14. Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 4? A. easy to conclude. B. reasonable to assume. C. impossible to prove. D. difficult to see. 15. What is Nick Collins’ attitude towards the research finding? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. 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。 Sometimes, it’s good to be bored “I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom.____16____ That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? ____17____ In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver. “An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “____18____” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever. The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “___19___” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone. ____20____ The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one. A. And there is, of course, bad boredom. B. Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas. C. But what if boredom is a meaningful experience? D. These moments are a lot more valuable than expected. E. Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless. F. We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices. G. When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Edmond was a school bus driver for 22 years.

Speaking up, especially in front of my classmates, has always been difficult for me. In class, I tend to avoid the teacher’s look and rarely volunteer answers. I find myself more comfortable observing from the sidelines, quietly taking notes and participating only when absolutely necessary. So, when our teacher assigned a group project to create a mind map (思维导图) for a travel journal, I felt completely lost. It seemed like a huge task, and I had no idea where to begin. The thought of working with a group and contributing my ideas was difficult. We were supposed to work in groups of four, and I wasn’t sure if I could contribute enough to make it a success. I was stressed by the idea of cooperating with others, especially since I wasn’t sure whether I had the creative skills they would expect for something like a mind map. My friend Alice noticed my hesitation and immediately invited me to join her group. She said, “You should join Chris, Ryan, and me. You’re so creative, and I know that you’ll bring something great to the table.” She even mentioned how I had helped her before by creating small stories to memorize words, and how my creativity always surprised her. I was touched by her faith in me but despite her encouragement, I was still unsure. I didn’t feel confident about my ability to contribute to the group, especially when it came to something as creative as a mind map. I feared that my ideas might not be good enough or that I would let the team down. The thought of standing out in front of everyone with my contributions felt challenging. But Alice insisted, gently encouraging me to give it a try, promising me that we could work together and that my creativity would be valuable. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed to join. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next class, Alice and I presented our group’s mind map to the class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
