B When I was young I wanted to be a model, so when a national contest was staged, I convinced my parents to take me for an audition (试演). I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed. I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines! Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging. The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated (感到难以承受的). Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future. 41. What’s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model? A. She won a national contest. B. She wanted to get reputation and wealth. C. She was urged by some modeling agencies. D. She had full potential to be a successful model. 42. What’s the author’s parents’ attitude toward her dream? A. Encouraging. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Enthusiastic. 43. What was that made the author end her attempt to become a model? A. Her parents were strongly against it. B. She realized that it was impossible for her. C. Even a local modeling agency turned her down. D. She realized that she didn’t actually love the idea of modeling. 44. The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means A. the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset angry, etc B. the final result that she was admitted by the model company C. the final audition given by the agency D. the decision that she made at last not to be a model anymore 45. What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model? A. Where there’s a will there’s away. B. Being a model is not that easy. C. We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others. D. We might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow. C You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. But a report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs. In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (无人机) to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated (盗用) one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking. The DJ-Innovations (DJI) Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs. Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do. Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals. Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. “Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man-hours,” he said. “The drone does the higher bits that you can’t see from the ground, and you would have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then go, ‘Oh, there was no sheep there.’” Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported. In New Zealand, farmers say some dogs are learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than foe. “A good herding dog, he’s already figured out if the drones are working on that side. I’ll go over here (to the other side) and work over here,” Rentoul said. “For now,” farmers say, “there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”. “There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm,” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.” 46. According to the passage, the drones can’ t replace the dogs entirely because ________. A. the drones can’t bark as loudly as the dogs do. B. the drones’ power and working conditions are limited. C. the drones are much more expensive than the animal. D. cows and calves are not used to seeing the drones. 47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland. B. The drones can only copy the dogs’ barking with the current technology. C. The drones are multifunctional and leave the animals undisturbed. D. The cost of using drones to monitor grapes is half the cost of hiring someone. 48. What are the main disadvantages of the drones? A. Short service time and simple function. B. Continuous maintenance and system upgrades. C. Vulnerability to fierce animals and extreme weather. D. Frequent absence and restricted battery capacity. 49. Why do farmers around the world like using drones? A. Because drones have no motors. B. Because using drones hardly meet the demand of management. C. Because using drones can not only bring about too much convenience ,but also reduce the cost. D. Because it is out of the question for using drones to provide high-resolution images. 50. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Robots are replacing human labor B. Drones help keep livestock in line C Herding dogs will remain on farm D. Farming is becoming surprisingly effective. D Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better. They are designed and built for it. Whether they are spinning cotton or dealing with numbers regular, repetitive actions are what they excel at. Increasingly, our world is being designed by machines, for machines. We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People are judged by the speed with which they respond, not the quality of their response. Such ideas are being woven into our culture. “Always on” becomes something to boast of, or aspire to. Most of us are busy most of the time, if not with work then with family, domestic tasks or our social networks—real and virtual. When I ask people how they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”. Ticking things off the “to do” list becomes a means of defining ourselves. A few years ago, I became very interested in what it means to pause. I started to notice where pauses show up in my own work and life. For example, I realized that when I was writing, a short walk was a more effective way to break a creative block than concentrating harder. I realized that a pause is not nothing. It acts as a kind of switch or opening. As Helene Simonsen, a classical musician, says, “Whatever you are doing, if you want something else to happen, you need to pause.” It is not a fixed unit of time. It might be taking a moment before you enter a room, but it could also be a “screen-free Saturday”, a “Think Week” every two years (which works for Bill Gates) or a year-long vacation. However fast you are moving, there is always the chance to pause—to rest, reflect or refresh of course, but also to appreciate, get perspective, connect to others, or have new ideas. There is more to life than getting things done. Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material—as the physics of Einstein shows. Try to let go of the idea that time is linear (直线型), regular and objective, and think of it in the same way we experience it. Instead of setting work and life against each other, use pauses to leaven (为增色) your experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): you don’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient. I want to give pauses more visibility, importance and status. My hope is that each of us can use pauses, great and small, to avoid sliding into a mode where we act like poorly performing machines. 51. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The widespread use of machines has destroyed our life. B. People have become quite obsessed with response speed. C. People always get pleasure from competing with machines. D. It’s difficult for people to adapt to a highly mechanized life. 52. The underlined phrase “Ticking things off the ‘to do’ list” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. learning to slow down B. concentrating on one thing C. selecting what we should do D. getting things done one by one 53. According to the author, how does taking a pause benefit us in a busy life? A. It makes your life dynamic and delightful. B. It improves our working efficiency greatly. C. It helps develop interpersonal connections. D. It enables people to do what they want to do. 54. Which of the following statements best sums up the author’s understanding of time? A. Time can never get returned. B. Time exists in the form of lines. C. Time is precious that we all need to cherish. D. Time is what everyone experiences uniquely. 55. What message does the author want to convey about “pauses” at the end of the passage? A They are useless if taken for short periods of time. B. They are for those who have too much spare time. C. They play a vital role in our well-being and creativity. D. They bring harm to our ability to perform efficiently. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分） 五、阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，共10分） 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week, she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Fein has had a full life. She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. “I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed, ”Fein said. She said she decided to major in sociology. Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. Fein, despite her life experiences, had a strong desire to earn a bachelor’s degree. She found joy in reading, writing papers, and learning new things. Taking advantage of a state program, she joined around 2, 000 others aged 65 and older in Texas who attend public university classes for free. Although less than 1% of U. S. college students are in this age group, health experts believe continuing education later in life can help maintain fitness. Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. Her college advisor was Sheila Rollerson. She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She was plugging away at her studies and in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect, ” Rollerson said. Renee Brown, one of Fein’s caregivers, found inspiration from her. At 53, Brown plans to begin nursing school, encouraged by Fein’s words of confidence and the fulfillment that comes with achievement. 56. Why did Fein want to study after retiring?

(no more than 5 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did Fein take online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements?

A. Being attached B. Attached C. Attaching D. Having attached 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查谓语动词。句意：礼物上有一张纸条，上面表达了他对我们帮助他的感谢。分析句子可知，这是一句倒装句，主语为note，后跟定语从句on which his appreciation for our help，去掉定语后，句子是A note was attached to the gift，短语be attached to意为“附加于；隶属于”，因此可使用attached作表语。故选B。 三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分） “Dad, can I buy another pair of CONVERSE (匡威)?” I begged.

I was selected and told I had potential. They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious (有声望的) modeling agencies from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed. I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For months, any boredom or disappointment was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines! Of course, I wasn’t signed, but what hurt me most was being told that if I grew to 5’9” (about 1.75 metres) I could be a success. I prayed for a growth spurt (冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded $ 500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot, and $ 300 for other expenses. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging. The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated (感到难以承受的). Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future. 41. What’s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model? A. She won a national contest. B. She wanted to get reputation and wealth. C. She was urged by some modeling agencies. D. She had full potential to be a successful model. 42. What’s the author’s parents’ attitude toward her dream? A. Encouraging. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Enthusiastic. 43. What was that made the author end her attempt to become a model? A. Her parents were strongly against it. B. She realized that it was impossible for her. C. Even a local modeling agency turned her down. D. She realized that she didn’t actually love the idea of modeling. 44. The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means A. the last in a series of bad things that happen to make someone very upset angry, etc B. the final result that she was admitted by the model company C. the final audition given by the agency D. the decision that she made at last not to be a model anymore 45. What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model? A. Where there’s a will there’s away. B. Being a model is not that easy. C. We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others. D. We might set unpractical goals but the experiences can help us grow. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在她模特梦的奋斗过程中，意识到我们可能会给自己设立一些不切实际的梦想，但是实现梦想的经历却能帮助我们成长。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句话“At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. (13岁时，我对名利的希望笼罩着所有的判断，我恳求父母放我走)”可知，作者在小时候出于对名利的追求才想要成为一名模特。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.(我们从来都不富裕，但他们看到了我的热情并同意了)”以及第三段“My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging.(我的父母是在我乞讨了好几个小时后才同意的)”可知，作者是不断地恳求父母，父母才答应她去参加模特比赛。由此可推知，作者的父母对她做模特的梦想持怀疑态度。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句话“The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial (广告) modeling. There was an open call in New York City. We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated(感到难以承受的).(最后一根稻草是在7月份，当时我决定专注于商业模特。纽约市有一个公开电话。我们花了几个小时开车，又等了几个小时，结果被告知我太矮了，我很伤心)”可知，作者被很多的公司拒绝，最后她专注于商业模特的希望也破灭了。由此可推知，她是意识到了她不可能成为模特这件事结束了她成为模特的尝试。故选B。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句话“The agency sent me out on a few auditions, but with every day I didn’t receive a call I grew more depressed. (经纪公司派我去试镜了几次，但每天我都没有接到电话，我变得越来越沮丧)”以及最后一句话“We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short I was devastated(感到难以承受的).(我们花了几个小时开车，又等了几个小时，结果被告知我太矮了，我很伤心)”可知，作者被拒绝了很多次，最后专注于商业模特的希望也破灭了，所以这件事是一系列坏事中的最后一件，结束了她的梦想。故选A。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Years later Ire zed that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling, just the idea of it. I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.(几年后，我意识到纽约之行很好，因为它让我注意到我其实并不喜欢模特，只是喜欢它的想法。我想变得特别，我天真地决心实现一个不可能实现的目标。这段经历让我变得更加坚强，这将在未来对我有所帮助)”可知，作者从她努力成为一名模特的经历中学到了有时候人们会设立不切实际的目标，但是经历能够帮助他们成长。故选D。 C You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. But a report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs. In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (无人机) to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated (盗用) one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking. The DJ-Innovations (DJI) Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs. Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do. Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals. Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. “Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man-hours,” he said. “The drone does the higher bits that you can’t see from the ground, and you would have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then go, ‘Oh, there was no sheep there.’” Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported. In New Zealand, farmers say some dogs are learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than foe. “A good herding dog, he’s already figured out if the drones are working on that side. I’ll go over here (to the other side) and work over here,” Rentoul said. “For now,” farmers say, “there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”. “There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm,” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.” 46. According to the passage, the drones can’ t replace the dogs entirely because ________. A. the drones can’t bark as loudly as the dogs do. B. the drones’ power and working conditions are limited. C. the drones are much more expensive than the animal. D. cows and calves are not used to seeing the drones. 47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland. B. The drones can only copy the dogs’ barking with the current technology. C. The drones are multifunctional and leave the animals undisturbed. D. The cost of using drones to monitor grapes is half the cost of hiring someone. 48. What are the main disadvantages of the drones? A. Short service time and simple function. B. Continuous maintenance and system upgrades. C. Vulnerability to fierce animals and extreme weather. D. Frequent absence and restricted battery capacity. 49. Why do farmers around the world like using drones? A. Because drones have no motors. B. Because using drones hardly meet the demand of management. C. Because using drones can not only bring about too much convenience ,but also reduce the cost. D. Because it is out of the question for using drones to provide high-resolution images. 50. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Robots are replacing human labor B. Drones help keep livestock in line C. Herding dogs will remain on farm D. Farming is becoming surprisingly effective. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了无人机代替农场牧羊犬的优势，同时也指出了无人机管理牛群所存在的一些劣势，比如使用寿命短，不能在恶劣气候下工作等缺点，从而得出无人机目前还无法在畜牧业管理中全面取代牧羊犬。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”（人们仍然需要牧羊犬，主要是因为它们的寿命比无人机长，可以在恶劣天气下工作，而且不需要每隔几个小时就用电源插座充电。）可知，无人机有待机时间短，经常要充电，不能在恶劣条件下工作等劣势，故而无法完全替代牧羊犬。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段后两句“Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.”（科里·兰伯斯是一家牧场的牧羊人，他在接受新西兰广播公司采访时表示，这些机器的效果令人惊讶。他说:“这是我注意到的一件事，当你让牛群和小牛移动时，老牛能抵抗狗，但用无人机，它们从来没有这样做过。”他指出，这意味着无人机可以使牛群移动更加快速而没有压迫感。）及第四段第二句“The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.”（这些机器人可以让农民从远处监控他们的土地，跟踪水和饲料水平，并在不打扰动物的情况下检查牲畜的健康状况。）可知，无人机的功能是多样化的，而且不会给牲畜带去干扰。故选C项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm,” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.””（兰贝斯说:“农场里肯定会有狗的地方。”“Mavic无人机或任何电子产品的一个缺点是，你仍然需要把它们带来并给它们充电。”）可知，无人机不能长时间待在需要看管牛羊的地方，必须经常取回充电。也就是说，无人机由于电池容量有限，经常要离开看管牛羊的地方，取回充电一段时间。故选D项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported.”（世界各地的农民都在使用无人机。据中国新闻网报道，在南非，他们从上方监测作物健康状况，从而提高收成。据《麻省理工科技评论》报道，在加州，酿酒师使用配备传感器的无人机种植更健康的葡萄。据报道，因为无人机飞得离地面更近，所以它们能够提供高分辨率的图像，而且比雇人驾驶飞机飞越一片田地要便宜。）可知，无人机方便快捷而且成本低，故而世界各地的农民都青睐它。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In New Zealand, farmers are using drones to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking.”（在新西兰，农民们正在使用无人机放牧和监控牲畜，取代了一个多世纪以来一直由高智能狗占据的位置。据新西兰广播电台报道，机器人并没有完全取代狗，但它们取代了狗最有力的工具之一：吠叫。）并结合下文无人机在畜牧业中的优势和弊端的介绍可知，整篇文章围绕无人机帮助农场主管理牛羊群而展开，故B项Drones help keep livestock in line（无人机正帮助管理维持牛羊群的秩序）为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better. They are designed and built for it. Whether they are spinning cotton or dealing with numbers, regular, repetitive actions are what they excel at. Increasingly, our world is being designed by machines, for machines. We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People are judged by the speed with which they respond, not the quality of their response. Such ideas are being woven into our culture. “Always on” becomes something to boast of, or aspire to. Most of us are busy most of the time, if not with work then with family, domestic tasks or our social networks—real and virtual. When I ask people how they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”. Ticking things off the “to do” list becomes a means of defining ourselves. A few years ago, I became very interested in what it means to pause. I started to notice where pauses show up in my own work and life. For example, I realized that when I was writing, a short walk was a more effective way to break a creative block than concentrating harder. I realized that a pause is not nothing. It acts as a kind of switch or opening. As Helene Simonsen, a classical musician, says, “Whatever you are doing, if you want something else to happen, you need to pause.” It is not a fixed unit of time. It might be taking a moment before you enter a room, but it could also be a “screen-free Saturday”, a “Think Week” every two years (which works for Bill Gates) or a year-long vacation. However fast you are moving, there is always the chance to pause—to rest, reflect or refresh of course, but also to appreciate, get perspective, connect to others, or have new ideas. There is more to life than getting things done. Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material—as the physics of Einstein shows. Try to let go of the idea that time is linear (直线型), regular and objective, and think of it in the same way we experience it. Instead of setting work and life against each other, use pauses to leaven (为增色) your experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): you don’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient. I want to give pauses more visibility, importance and status. My hope is that each of us can use pauses, great and small, to avoid sliding into a mode where we act like poorly performing machines. 51. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The widespread use of machines has destroyed our life. B. People have become quite obsessed with response speed. C. People always get pleasure from competing with machines. D. It’s difficult for people to adapt to a highly mechanized life. 52. The underlined phrase “Ticking things off the ‘to do’ list” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. learning to slow down B. concentrating on one thing C. selecting what we should do D. getting things done one by one 53. According to the author, how does taking a pause benefit us in a busy life? A. It makes your life dynamic and delightful. B. It improves our working efficiency greatly. C. It helps develop interpersonal connections. D. It enables people to do what they want to do. 54. Which of the following statements best sums up the author’s understanding of time? A. Time can never get returned. B. Time exists in the form of lines. C. Time is precious that we all need to cherish. D. Time is what everyone experiences uniquely. 55. What message does the author want to convey about “pauses” at the end of the passage? A. They are useless if taken for short periods of time. B. They are for those who have too much spare time. C. They play a vital role in our well-being and creativity. D. They bring harm to our ability to perform efficiently. 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述的是在这个人人都忙的社会适时按下暂停键，可以避免陷入一种我们就像表现不佳的机器一样的模式。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“Machines work well at a constant speed—and the faster the better.(机器以恒定的速度运转良好——而且越快越好)”以及第二段中的“We adapt to machines and hold ourselves to their standards: People are judged by the speed with which they respond, not the quality of their response.(我们适应机器，按照机器的标准来要求自己:人们的评判标准是反应的速度，而不是反应的质量。)”可知，我们人类像机器一样，判断标准是反映的速度而不是质量，由此可知，人们痴迷于反应速度。故选B项。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Most of us are busy most of the time, if not with work then with family, domestic tasks or our social networks—real and virtual. When I ask people how they are doing, they almost always answer “busy”.(我们大多数人大部分时间都很忙，如果不是忙于工作，那么就是忙于家庭、家务或我们的社交网络——不管是真实的还是虚拟的。当我问人们近况如何时，他们几乎总是回答“很忙”。)”可知，大多数人大部分时间都是很忙，忙工作、忙家务，各种忙，由此可知，本段讲述的内容与“忙”相关，所以划线短语所在的句子所描述的内容应与本段主题“忙”相关，结合选项，“一个接一个地做事情”与本段的主题吻合。故选D项。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“However fast you are moving, there is always the chance to pause—to rest, reflect or refresh of course, but also to appreciate, get perspective, connect to others, or have new ideas.(无论你走得有多快，总有机会停下来休息、反思或刷新，但也要欣赏、获得视角、与他人联系或有新的想法。)”可知，在忙碌的时候，按下暂停键，可以让我们得到休息，重新振奋精神，去欣赏，从不同角度获得新的见解或不同的想法，由此推断，在忙碌的生活中按下暂停键会让生活充满活力和快乐。故选A项。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Time, as we experience it, varies wildly. A minute eating ice-cream is not the same as a minute doing push-ups. Even time itself isn’t a uniform raw material—as the physics of Einstein shows. Try to let go of the idea that time is linear (直线型), regular and objective, and think of it in the same way we experience it.(我们所经历的时间变化很大。一分钟吃冰淇淋和一分钟做俯卧撑是不一样的。甚至时间本身也不是一种统一的原材料——正如爱因斯坦的物理学所表明的那样。试着放弃时间是线性的、有规律的和客观的想法，以我们经历它的方式来思考它。)”可知，我们所经历的时间大不相同，时间本身也不是统一的原材料，作者建议放弃时间是线性的观点，用我们自己体验它的方式来思考它，由此可推断，作者认为时间是每个人独特的体验。故选D项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I want to give pauses more visibility, importance and status. My hope is that each of us can use pauses, great and small, to avoid sliding into a mode where we act like poorly performing machines.(我想赋予停顿更多的可见度、重要性和地位。我的希望是，我们每个人都能利用或大或小的停顿，避免陷入一种像表现不佳的机器一样的模式。)”可知，作者希望人们不会像机器一样，做着有规律地重复动作，我们应该利用好大大小小的暂停，结合倒数第二段中的“Instead of setting work and life against each other, use pauses to leaven (为增色) your experience. Pause is like yeast (酵母): you don’t need much, but it is a vital ingredient.(不要把工作和生活对立起来，要利用停顿来丰富你的经历。暂停就像酵母：你不需要太多，但它是至关重要的成分。)”可知，我们不是把工作与生活对立起来，而是使用暂停让生活充满色彩，暂停像酵母一样，不需要很多，但是很重要，由此可推断，暂停在对我们的幸福和创造力起着至关重要的作用。故选C项。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分） 五、阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，共10分） 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week, she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Fein has had a full life. She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. “I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed, ”Fein said. She said she decided to major in sociology. Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. Fein, despite her life experiences, had a strong desire to earn a bachelor’s degree. She found joy in reading, writing papers, and learning new things. Taking advantage of a state program, she joined around 2, 000 others aged 65 and older in Texas who attend public university classes for free. Although less than 1% of U. S. college students are in this age group, health experts believe continuing education later in life can help maintain fitness. Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. Her college advisor was Sheila Rollerson. She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She was plugging away at her studies and in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect, ” Rollerson said. Renee Brown, one of Fein’s caregivers, found inspiration from her. At 53, Brown plans to begin nursing school, encouraged by Fein’s words of confidence and the fulfillment that comes with achievement. 56. Why did Fein want to study after retiring? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? (no more than 5 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did Fein take online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements? (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 59. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 7? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 60. What can you learn from the story? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Fein wanted intellectual engagement and to achieve her long-standing goal of earning a bachelor’s degree./ Fein wanted to keep her mind active/have a fuller life and achieve her dream of getting her degree. 57. Fein’s life experience. 58. Because of her bad health. 59. She kept working hard at her studies. 60. Fein’s story tells us that we should overcome difficulties and persist in learning, and establish the consciousness of lifelong learning. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位84岁的老人实现了从大学毕业的人生目标的励志故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段““I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed, ”Fein said. She said she decided to major in sociology.(费恩说:“我退休后没什么事可做，我觉得玩宾果游戏跟不上我的速度。”她说她决定主修社会学)”可知，费恩想在退休后继续学习是因为费恩想要智力上的参与，并实现她长期以来的目标——获得学士学位。或回答费恩想让自己的思维保持活跃，过上更充实的生活，实现获得学位的梦想。故答案为Fein wanted intellectual engagement and to achieve her long-standing goal of earning a bachelor’s degree./ Fein wanted to keep her mind active/have a fuller life and achieve her dream of getting her degree. 【57题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第五段“Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995.(费恩的童年是在纽约市布朗克斯度过的，她的家庭生活贫困。高中提前毕业后，她在16岁时开始在一家服装制造商担任秘书。婚后，她花了18年的时间在家抚养孩子。在她的一生中，费恩做过各种各样的工作，包括在达拉斯一家医院做了20年的秘书，她于2012年退休。她还花了20年时间获得了副学士学位，并于1995年获得了学位)”可知，第5段主要讲了费恩的人生经历。故答案为Fein’s life experience. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes.(尽管健康状况不断恶化，费恩还是坚持了下来，使用助行器和氧气，甚至通过在线课程完成了剩余的学位要求)”可知，费恩参加网络课程来完成她学位要求的最后一部分是因为她身体不好。故答案为Because of her bad health. 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties.(她说，费恩即使遇到种种困难，也从未表现出放弃的迹象)”以及后文“in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect(作为回报，她获得了学士学位和尊重)”可知，费恩遇到困难也没有放弃，继续努力学习，所以她获得了学士学位和尊重。故划线词意思是“她继续努力学习”。故答案为She kept working hard at her studies. 【60题详解】 考查开放题。根据“你能从这个故事中学到什么？请解释一下”可回答“费恩的故事告诉我们，应该克服困难坚持学习的故事，树立终身学习的意识”，故答案为Fein’s story tells us that we should overcome difficulties and persist in learning, and establish the consciousness of lifelong learning. 六、书面表达（25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学高三学生李津。你有一位英国好友Jim，他告诉你他最近经常使用Chatgpt（一款人工智能的语言类软件）来完成他的学习任务，比如写演讲稿和实验报告。他问你是否愿意使用这类人工智能来完成学习任务，你写给他一封E-mail，主要内容包括： 1. 你是否愿意让人工智能替你完成学习任务及其原因。 2. 你在生活中是怎样利用高科技产品的。 3. 祝愿Jim学业进步。 注意：1. 词数100左右：2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 词汇提示： 人工智能：AI (Artificial Intelligence) 高科技产品：high-tech products Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Jim, I heard that you often use ChatGPT to assist in your learning tasks, and I would like to share my thoughts on this matter.
