She 20 what to do with it.” My brother came out next, “Watermelon! Can I have some?” “No way,” I refused at once. My father saw it. “Oh, watermelon!” he said. “Don’t even ask,” said my brother. “She won’t 21 ,” my sister added. Mom cut the watermelon into eight pieces. I took a bite at my first piece. Red juice ran down my chin (下巴). The four of them stood together around the picnic table, watching me eat piece by piece. My hands felt sticky. My stomach started to feel full, but I just couldn’t stop. Looking up at my family, they were all looking at me silently. Suddenly my joy died. 22 , I felt a little shy. “Go ahead,” I 23 in a low voice, “have a piece.” Mom smiled. I guessed she knew all along that I’d do so. For a second, they didn’t 24 . Then, they rushed to the picnic table, each grabbing (抓住) a piece of watermelon. Now my whole family had watermelon- red chins, sticky hands, and black seeds piled in front of us.

I’m never going to need a fraction in my whole life.” “Let’s not worry about fractions right now. Instead, would you like to help me make cookies?” “Okay.” Ella said. “Here.

I need three-fourths of a cup. That is more than half of the cup, but not all the way to the top. Fill it halfway first.” Ella filled the cup halfway full. “Okay. Now, see that line a little way up?

Little Albert Einstein stayed at home because he was ill. “How are you, my boy?” his father came in. “I have something for you to play with!” In his hand was a round, shiny thing. It looked a bit like a pocket watch, but its face was marked with the letters N, S, E, and W, and it only had one big hand. “This is called ‘compass’,” his father said. “No matter which way you turn it, the needle (针) always points north! Travellers use it to work out where they are in a new place!” Albert took the little device from his father and looked at it in wonder. “How does it work?” he asked finally. “Ah, it uses something called ‘magnetism’ (磁性)!” his father told him with a smile. “The needle is a magnet—and so is the Earth. That is why the needle always wants to point north—because of the magnetic field around the Earth!” Albert felt so ▲ . It was amazing to think that the needle in his compass was being influenced by something that he couldn’t see or touch ... something that was everywhere! Could it be that there were other hidden forces (力) at work in the universe (宇宙)? And if there were, what could they be? Albert soon got better. But he was still crazy about the compass and the forces that influenced it. He did a lot of tests and tried to find the rules of the universe. Albert’s family helped him. His uncle Jakob taught the boy Maths. Every Thursday, Albert’s family had a learned visitor called Max. Whenever Max came, Albert would keep on asking him questions about science. One day, Max brought Albert a series of books called People’s Books on Natural Science. The boy threw himself in these books. The more he read about the universe, the more it made sense! The most amazing thing that Albert learned about was the speed of light. “Scientists say that nothing can go faster. I bet that understanding the speed of light is very important if we want to know more about the universe. I might study that when I grow up!” he told his sister Maja one day. Albert thought a lot about magnetism, gravity (重力) and light. He wondered whether there were any ways of understanding how they all connected to each other. To find it out, he began reading more books about how everything worked. That little compass had started him on a journey of discovery—and who knew what he would find out along the way! compass 31．Which word can be put in ▲ ? A．afraid B．excited C．relaxed D．nervous 32．According to the passage, what is Albert Einstein like? A．Careful and patient. B．Creative and friendly. C．Curious and hard-working. D．Clever and modest. 33．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．A Wise Father B．A Little Scientist C．The Compass of Life D．The Gift From Father 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦因生病在家，父亲给他一个指南针，激发了他对科学的兴趣，特别是对光速和宇宙力量的好奇，这成为了他科学探索的起点。 31．推理判断题。根据下文“It was amazing to think that the needle in his compass was being influenced by something that he couldn’t see or touch ... something that was everywhere! Could it be that there were other hidden forces (力) at work in the universe (宇宙)? And if there were, what could they be?”可知，此处描述了阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦对指南针的工作原理感到惊奇，并且开始思考宇宙中可能存在的其他隐形力量，这种对未知的探索和好奇心表明他感到兴奋。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据“Albert soon got better. But he was still crazy about the compass and the forces that influenced it. He did a lot of tests and tried to find the rules of the universe.”、“Albert would keep on asking him questions about science.”、“The boy threw himself in these books. The more he read about the universe, the more it made sense!”、“Albert thought a lot about magnetism, gravity (重力) and light. He wondered whether there were any ways of understanding how they all connected to each other. To find it out, he began reading more books about how everything worked.”以及结合全文可知，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦对指南针的工作原理感到好奇，他做了很多测试，请教了很多问题，读了很多书，并且试图找出宇宙的规律。这些都表明他是一个好奇且勤奋的人。故选C。 33．最佳标题题。根据“That little compass had started him on a journey of discovery—and who knew what he would find out along the way!”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦如何通过一个指南针开始对科学产生兴趣，并最终走上了探索宇宙的旅程。指南针在这里不仅是一个物品，更是他生活和科学探索的象征，因此选项C“人生的指南针”是最佳标题。故选C。 D When we say we’re “seeing red,” we feel angry. “Feeling blue” means we’re sad. Calling someone “yellow” means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. But do colours really influence our feelings?Is there a psychology (心理学) of colour? We think of colour as a result of activities in our eyes and minds, so it makes sense to believe that different colours influence our moods. Artists clearly use colours to make viewers respond (回应) to their work. Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period paintings from 1901 to 1904 express sadness after his friend Casagemas died. Other people try to manipulate us with colours. Companies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods. “The connection between colours and moods is so widely believed,” says psychologist, Lynn Olzak at Miami University in Ohio. “But when you actually go out and try to find research to prove, it’s not always there. We just don’t know whether it’s true or not.”What is it about colour? With the difficulties, researchers have done some research on how people respond to colours. Studies found much stronger responses (反应) to a colour’s brightness and saturation. Brightness means lightness or darkness. Saturation is how pure (纯净) a colour is. In one study, researchers from British Columbia tested responses to “Rainbow Paint” ads. Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation. Colour is a huge part of our lives, so it’s possible that it influences our moods. However, researchers are a long way from making conclusions about how different colours should make us feel. At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours. After all, your personal tastes say a lot about what makes you happy. 34．The writer mentioned different phrases about colours in paragraph 1 to ________. A．teach readers the phrases B．show the writer’s feelings C．prove the writer’s opinion D．introduce the subject to readers 35．What does the underlined word “manipulate” mean in the passage? A．操纵 B．迷惑 C．治疗 D．安慰 36．What should companies do when making ads according to the study of British Columbia? A．Use more colours in ads. B．Avoid dark and pale colours in ads. C．Mix different colours in ads. D．Draw rainbows in ads. 37．Which of the following may the writer agree? A．It’s true that colours decide our moods. B．It’s wise to use colours to express ourselves clearly. C．Companies should use ads to become successful. D．We’d better choose our favourite colours in daily life. 【答案】34．D 35．A 36．B 37．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了颜色心理学研究颜色对人类行为和感觉的影响。 34．推理判断题。根据第一段“When we say we’re ‘seeing red,’ we feel angry. ‘Feeling blue’ means we’re sad. Calling someone ‘yellow’ means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. ”可知，作者提到这些短语是为了引入主题，即颜色是否真的影响我们的情感和心理。故选D。 35．词义猜测题。根据“Other people try to manipulate us with colours. Companies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods.”可知，公司在广告中使用颜色让我们更好地了解他们的信息。产品设计师使用颜色来吸引我们对他们的商品的注意力。故划线单词“manipulate”意为“操纵，利用颜色达到某种目的”。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation.”可知，明亮的颜色可以让人更兴奋，对广告有更积极的看法，故而推测出做广告时，会避免使用暗和浅的颜色。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据“At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours.”可知，作者建议最好用自己喜欢的颜色装饰房间。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷（主观题 共50分） 四、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38．If you go travelling to Italy, you can see many (古代的) buildings in Rome. 【答案】ancient 【详解】句意：如果你去意大利旅行，你能够在罗马看到许多古代的建筑。 ancient意为“古代的；古老的”，形容词作定语。故填ancient。 39．The office leader will be (缺席的) from the meetings in the following two months. 【答案】absent 【详解】句意：办公室负责人将在接下来的两个月里缺席会议。根据“The office leader will be ... from the meetings”及所给中文可知，考查be absent from“缺席……”，absent“缺席的”符合句意。故填absent。 40．What (要紧) most is good health. 【答案】matters 【详解】句意：最重要的是健康。 本句what引导的主语从句，what在主语从句中做主语，谓语动词要使用单数；matter：要紧，事关紧要，三单形式matters。故答案为matters。 41．He offered us some (建议), but none of them are valuable to us. 【答案】suggestions 【详解】句意：他给我们提供了一些建议，但是没有一条对我们来说有用。 建议动词是suggest，名词是suggestion，some后面加可数名词复数，故答案为suggestions。 42．—What does Han Mei always come top of the class in exams, I wonder? — (凭借) hard work and her wisdom, she has achieved a lot of success. 【答案】Through 【详解】句意：——我想知道韩梅为什么总是在考试中名列前茅？——凭借努力和智慧，她取得了很多成功。表示“凭借”应使用through，故填Through。 （B）根据句意，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 43．—Why didn’t you come to my birthday party, May? —I’m sorry. The reason I didn’t go was (simple) because of the rain. 【答案】simply 【详解】句意：对不起，我不来的理由只是因为下雨。根据“because of the rain”可知，此处需要用副词来修饰原因状语，simple的副词形式为simply。故填simply。 44．Many traffic accidents happen because of the drivers’ (careless) or taking no notice of traffic rules. 【答案】carelessness 【详解】句意：许多交通事故的发生是因为司机粗心大意或不注意交通规则。空前有“drivers’ ”修饰，空处应用名词形式，根据“traffic accidents”可知，此处指的是carelessness“粗心”，是名词，故填carelessness。 45．The meeting opened with a minute’s (silent) in memory of those who died in the fight. 【答案】silence 【详解】句意：会议以默哀一分钟开始，悼念在战斗中死去的人。“a minute’s” 后应跟名词作with的宾语，silent的名词形式是silence，故填silence。 46．My mother was angry with me for being home late, but she went even (mad) when she was told that I failed the exam. 【答案】madder 【详解】句意：我妈妈对我回家晚很生气，但当她被告知我考试不及格时，她更生气了。根据“when she was told that I failed the exam.”可知当她被告知我考试不及格时，她比刚才更生气，even后加比较级madder“更生气”。故填madder。 47．Why are you always getting so (patient) with your kid when helping him？ 【答案】impatient 【详解】句意：当你帮助你的孩子时，为什么你总是这么不耐烦地对他呢？ 考查派生词。patient耐烦的、有耐心的，形容词，其反义词形式：impatient不耐烦的、没有耐心的。现在进行时与always连用，常含有不满、厌烦的感情色彩。由此可知，空格处表示“不耐烦的、没有耐心的”。故答案为impatient。 五、动词填空 用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 48．Several of his short stories (translate) into many foreign languages last year. 【答案】were translated 【详解】句意：去年他的几篇短篇小说被翻译成多种外语。根据时间状语“last year”可知，该句为一般过去时；因主语“short stories”和动词“translate”存在动宾关系，应使用被动语态，所以是一般过去时的被动语态；主语“Several of his short stories”为复数，所以结构为“were+过去分词”，translate“翻译”的过去分词为translated。故填were translated。 49．To have a better world, we should pay more attention to (reduce) pollution. 【答案】reducing 【详解】句意：为了有一个更美好的世界，我们应该更加注意减少污染。考查pay attention to doing sth.“注意做某事”，所以填动名词形式作宾语，reduce“减少”的动名词形式为reducing。故填reducing。 50．—What did Yang Ying say? —She said they (have) a school trip the next weekend. 【答案】would have 【详解】句意：——杨颖说什么?——她说他们下个周末会有学校组织的旅行。根据“the next weekend”可知用将来时态；这是一个宾语从句，主句谓语动词“said”使用了过去时，从句需用过去将来时态，因此用“would have”。故填would have。 51．I’m very hungry. I (not eat) anything since 6:30 this morning. 【答案】haven’t eaten 【详解】句意：我很饿。我从今天早上6:30开始就没吃过任何东西。根据“since 6:30 this morning”可知，这是现在完成时，结构为“主语+have/has+动词过去分词”，主语为“I”，所以填have，否定为haven’t；动词eat的过去分词是eaten。故填haven’t eaten。 52．The holiday you are looking forward to (start) in five days. 【答案】will start 【详解】句意：你期待的假期五天后就要开始了。“you are looking forward to”是定语从句，修饰“The holiday”；根据“in five days”可知，时态为一般将来时，结构为“will+动词原形”，故填will start。 53．The new book written by the famous writer (sell) well this year. 【答案】sells 【详解】句意：这本由著名作家写的新书今年卖得很好。根据时间状语“this year”可知句子用一般现在时陈述现阶段发生的动作；主语“The new book”是单数名词，谓语动词用单三形式。故填sells。 54．This is not the way to the zoo. Maybe we (go) the wrong way at the last turning. 【答案】went 【详解】句意：这不是去动物园的路。也许我们在最后一个转弯处走错了路。go“走”，动词。根据“at the last turning”可知走错了路是已经发生的，应用一般过去时，故填went。 55．—When can I get my car back? —Not until it (repair) next Monday. 【答案】is repaired 【详解】句意：——我什么时候能取回我的车？ ——要到下周一它被修好才能取回。根据空前的“until”可知，本句是until引导的时间状语从句，其中从句主语it指代car，car（车）是被修理的对象，所以要用被动语态，即be + 过去分词的形式。根据主将从现的原则，主句是一般将来时的否定形式（这里是用Not until来体现将来的动作关系），从句要用一般现在时表将来，it是第三人称单数，be动词用is，repair的过去分词是repaired，所以填is repaired。故填is repaired。 56．Don’t you think it’s silly of him (not catch) the chance? 【答案】not to catch 【详解】句意：你不觉得他错过那个机会很傻吗？考查句型It is adj. of sb. not to do sth.“某人不做某事是怎样的”，所以填动词不定式的否定形式，故填not to catch。 57．All the teachers (discuss) the problem in the meeting room at the moment. 【答案】are discussing 【详解】句意：此刻，所有的老师都在会议室讨论这个问题。根据句中的“at the moment”可知，时态为现在进行时态，主语“All the teachers”是复数形式，所以结构为“are+现在分词”；动词“discuss”的现在分词形式为“discussing”。故填are discussing。 六、阅读表达 （本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题（每题回答字数不超过10字词） Sherlock Holmes was an INTP. Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP … What do these four-lettered words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to discover something as changeable as a person’s personality. Neither of its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, was a trained psychologist (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings. Then how has this test managed to become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal. This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never paints a personality in any negative light(负面的眼光). The MBTI may not be the best way for assessing one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self- knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way. 58．Why does the writer mention the three famous people at the beginning of the passage? 59．According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, how many personality types are there in the world? 60．What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI? 61．What made Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI? 62．Do you want to take or learn more about the MBTI? Why or why not? 【答案】58．To introduce (a personality test—) the MBTI. 59．Sixteen. /16. 60．(They were) mother and daughter. 61．To help parents understand their children’s interest. 62．Yes, I do. I think it’s fun./ No, I don’t. I think it’s meaningless.（答案言之有理即可） 【导语】本文主要介绍了性格测试MBTI的创建由来及受欢迎的原因。 58．根据“What do these four-lettered words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them.”可知，作者在文章开头提到这三位名人是为了介绍性格测试——MBTI。故填To introduce (a personality test—) the MBTI. 59．根据“With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world”可知，根据Myers-Briggs类型指标，世界上有16种人格类型。故填Sixteen. /16. 60．根据“Neither of its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, was a trained psychologist (心理学家).”可知，MBTI的两位创建者之间是母女关系。故填(They were) mother and daughter. 61．根据“she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests.”可知，Katharine Briggs决定创建MBTI是为了帮助父母了解孩子的兴趣。故填To help parents understand their children’s interest. 62．开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为：Yes, I do. I think it’s fun./ No, I don’t. I think it’s meaningless. 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 63．人生就像一场旅行，总有一些人令你感动，总有一些事助你成长。比如困于黑暗密室却依然怀揣美好希望的安妮，比如因身高屡次被拒却依然执着于梦想的韦伯……假设你校英语俱乐部正在组织英语作文比赛，请你以教材中出现的名人为例，以“The Person I Admire Most”为题，写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1. 介绍你最崇拜的名人及崇拜的理由； 2. 介绍名人的经历； 3. 分享你的收获。 注意事项： 1. 短文须自拟，要求观点明确、语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 2. 词数在100个左右，短文标题及开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 短文须写在答题卡指定的位置上。 The Person I Admire Most Life is like a journey, there are always many people who move me a lot.

I’d saved all my 15 to buy one. I was going to eat it all up by myself, for the seeds. At the store I searched 16 , looking for my dream watermelon. There it was. After paying, I rolled (滚动) it out of the door, then along the sidewalk until home. “Lucy! What are you doing with that watermelon?” Mom asked in 17 . “I saved up my money for it. I’m going to eat it all by myself.” Mom frowned, and warned, “You’ll get 18 .” “Please,” I begged, I’ve saved all my money for it.” Mom thought for a while, then smiled meaningfully as if she knew something. She asked me to roll my watermelon out in the yard. My sister followed her. “Oh, watermelon,” she cried with 19 “I want some.” “Sorry,” I told her, “I’m going to eat it all by myself.” “Mom!” she cried, very upset. “Your sister saved her money for it. She 20 what to do with it.” My brother came out next, “Watermelon! Can I have some?” “No way,” I refused at once. My father saw it. “Oh, watermelon!” he said. “Don’t even ask,” said my brother. “She won’t 21 ,” my sister added. Mom cut the watermelon into eight pieces. I took a bite at my first piece. Red juice ran down my chin (下巴). The four of them stood together around the picnic table, watching me eat piece by piece. My hands felt sticky. My stomach started to feel full, but I just couldn’t stop. Looking up at my family, they were all looking at me silently. Suddenly my joy died. 22 , I felt a little shy. “Go ahead,” I 23 in a low voice, “have a piece.” Mom smiled. I guessed she knew all along that I’d do so. For a second, they didn’t 24 . Then, they rushed to the picnic table, each grabbing (抓住) a piece of watermelon. Now my whole family had watermelon- red chins, sticky hands, and black seeds piled in front of us.

I’m just not a clever girl.” “Everyone learns at a different speed, Ella. You are a very smart girl.” “I don’t even know why I have to learn them. What’s the point? I’m never going to need a fraction in my whole life.” “Let’s not worry about fractions right now. Instead, would you like to help me make cookies?” “Okay.” Ella said. “Here. You put the ingredients in the pan and I will cook them.” Mom placed sugar, milk, peanut butter and some measuring cups close to the pan. “First, put one full cup of sugar into the pan.” Ella gently pulled out a full cup of sugar and poured it into the pan. “Good,” Mom said. “Now, I need a little more. I need three-fourths of a cup. That is more than half of the cup, but not all the way to the top. Fill it halfway first.” Ella filled the cup halfway full. “Okay. Now, see that line a little way up? That is three-fourths of a cup. Add enough sugar until it reaches that line.” Ella put a little more sugar into the cup until it reached the line. “Great! Pour it into the pan. Next, we need one-half cup of milk. Here is the measuring cup. Fill it to the half cup line with milk.” Ella slowly poured one-half cup of milk. “Now I have to cook it for one and a half minutes. After that, all we need to do is to add one teaspoon of vanilla and one-half cup of peanut butter.” Mom turned to Ella. “I see what you are doing. You are showing me I need to understand fractions,” Ella said with a smile. Mom laughed. “And you were understanding! You just need a little more practice.” “Okay. I understand now. Fractions are important. Without fractions, we wouldn’t be able to make cookies!” Ella and Mom both laughed. 28．What did Ella think of fractions at first? A．Difficult and useless.

C It was a bright, sunny day in 1883. Little Albert Einstein stayed at home because he was ill. “How are you, my boy?” his father came in. “I have something for you to play with!” In his hand was a round, shiny thing. It looked a bit like a pocket watch, but its face was marked with the letters N, S, E, and W, and it only had one big hand. “This is called ‘compass’,” his father said. “No matter which way you turn it, the needle (针) always points north! Travellers use it to work out where they are in a new place!” Albert took the little device from his father and looked at it in wonder. “How does it work?” he asked finally. “Ah, it uses something called ‘magnetism’ (磁性)!” his father told him with a smile. “The needle is a magnet—and so is the Earth. That is why the needle always wants to point north—because of the magnetic field around the Earth!” Albert felt so ▲ . It was amazing to think that the needle in his compass was being influenced by something that he couldn’t see or touch ... something that was everywhere! Could it be that there were other hidden forces (力) at work in the universe (宇宙)? And if there were, what could they be? Albert soon got better. But he was still crazy about the compass and the forces that influenced it. He did a lot of tests and tried to find the rules of the universe. Albert’s family helped him. His uncle Jakob taught the boy Maths. Every Thursday, Albert’s family had a learned visitor called Max. Whenever Max came, Albert would keep on asking him questions about science. One day, Max brought Albert a series of books called People’s Books on Natural Science. The boy threw himself in these books. The more he read about the universe, the more it made sense! The most amazing thing that Albert learned about was the speed of light. “Scientists say that nothing can go faster. I bet that understanding the speed of light is very important if we want to know more about the universe. I might study that when I grow up!” he told his sister Maja one day. Albert thought a lot about magnetism, gravity (重力) and light. He wondered whether there were any ways of understanding how they all connected to each other. To find it out, he began reading more books about how everything worked. That little compass had started him on a journey of discovery—and who knew what he would find out along the way! compass 31．Which word can be put in ▲ ? A．afraid B．excited C．relaxed D．nervous 32．According to the passage, what is Albert Einstein like? A．Careful and patient. B．Creative and friendly. C．Curious and hard-working. D．Clever and modest. 33．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．A Wise Father B．A Little Scientist C．The Compass of Life D．The Gift From Father D When we say we’re “seeing red,” we feel angry. “Feeling blue” means we’re sad. Calling someone “yellow” means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. But do colours really influence our feelings?Is there a psychology (心理学) of colour? We think of colour as a result of activities in our eyes and minds, so it makes sense to believe that different colours influence our moods. Artists clearly use colours to make viewers respond (回应) to their work. Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period paintings from 1901 to 1904 express sadness after his friend Casagemas died. Other people try to manipulate us with colours. Companies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods. “The connection between colours and moods is so widely believed,” says psychologist, Lynn Olzak at Miami University in Ohio. “But when you actually go out and try to find research to prove, it’s not always there. We just don’t know whether it’s true or not.”What is it about colour? With the difficulties, researchers have done some research on how people respond to colours. Studies found much stronger responses (反应) to a colour’s brightness and saturation. Brightness means lightness or darkness. Saturation is how pure (纯净) a colour is. In one study, researchers from British Columbia tested responses to “Rainbow Paint” ads. Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation. Colour is a huge part of our lives, so it’s possible that it influences our moods. However, researchers are a long way from making conclusions about how different colours should make us feel. At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours. After all, your personal tastes say a lot about what makes you happy. 34．The writer mentioned different phrases about colours in paragraph 1 to ________. A．teach readers the phrases B．show the writer’s feelings C．prove the writer’s opinion D．introduce the subject to readers 35．What does the underlined word “manipulate” mean in the passage? A．操纵 B．迷惑 C．治疗 D．安慰 36．What should companies do when making ads according to the study of British Columbia? A．Use more colours in ads. B．Avoid dark and pale colours in ads.

Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP. Michael Jackson was an ISFP … What do these four-lettered words mean? Well, if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might know them. With 93 questions, the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. However, the MBTI is not an accurate (精准的) way to discover something as changeable as a person’s personality. Neither of its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers, was a trained psychologist (心理学家). What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings. Then how has this test managed to become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s. Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups: those who were good and those who were bad. The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test, while people may be different from one another, they are all created equal. This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never paints a personality in any negative light(负面的眼光). The MBTI may not be the best way for assessing one’s personality, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self- knowledge. The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way. 58．Why does the writer mention the three famous people at the beginning of the passage? 59．According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, how many personality types are there in the world? 60．What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI? 61．What made Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI? 62．Do you want to take or learn more about the MBTI? Why or why not? 七、书面表达（本大题共20分） 63．人生就像一场旅行，总有一些人令你感动，总有一些事助你成长。比如困于黑暗密室却依然怀揣美好希望的安妮，比如因身高屡次被拒却依然执着于梦想的韦伯……假设你校英语俱乐部正在组织英语作文比赛，请你以教材中出现的名人为例，以“The Person I Admire Most”为题，写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1. 介绍你最崇拜的名人及崇拜的理由； 2. 介绍名人的经历； 3. 分享你的收获。 注意事项： 1. 短文须自拟，要求观点明确、语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意； 2. 词数在100个左右，短文标题及开头已给出，不计入总词数； 3. 短文须写在答题卡指定的位置上。 The Person I Admire Most Life is like a journey, there are always many people who move me a lot.
