B In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana, California. Outside his apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to work, but they never spoke. What could they possibly have in common? One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up homeless for more than a decade. Peterson recalled later, “It was strange but I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved or had a shower in probably a year. His story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’portrait (肖像). Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. He sells the portraits for a few thousand dollars and puts half into what he calls a “love account” for his models. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. As for Faris, he used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dream. But there’s more to the finished products than the money. Peterson has discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 24. Why did Peterson reach out to Faris? A. He was suddenly curious about him. B. He was touched by a book about love. C. He couldn’t bear his yelling anymore. D. He needed a model for his artistic work. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. How Peterson evaluated Faris’ story. B. Why Faris failed to pursue his dream. C. How Peterson and Faris first connected. D. Why Peterson stopped painting for years. 26. Why did Peterson quote people’s words in the last paragraph? A. To appeal to people to buy his portraits. B. To demonstrate his organization’s influence. C. To show the importance of helping the homeless. D. To prove the possibility of befriending the homeless. 27. In which section can we probably read this text? A. People. B. Education. C. Art. D. Entertainment. C Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong. Do scientists really not know what’s good for us, or is the news report to blame for the confusion? Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. “What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University. One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. Instead, nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries, and then track the health of participants over a given period of time. In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet — with more fast food, for instance — might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways, such as smoking. Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart. Because of these difficulties, even today’s most recommended dietary advice lacks good quality evidence. This doesn’t mean we can eat as much cake as we like. But it does suggest that within limits of common sense, one way of eating is about as good as another. While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine. 28. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1? A. Scientists fail to figure out truth. B. News spreads confusion on purpose. C. Research on diet astonishes people. D. Media reports conflicting diet studies. 29. Which of the following news items suggests publication bias? A. Chocolate unexpectedly aids weight loss. B. Calorie restriction helps to slow aging. C. Effects of zero fat diet require further tests. D. Whole grain diet improves heart health. 30. What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly discuss? A. The reliability of self-reported diet data. B. How long-term diet tracking improves health. C. The main problems in studying dietary effects. D. How lifestyle factors affect diet research results. 31. What is the author’s suggestion for food choice? A. Avoid potentially unhealthy foods. B. Consume varieties of foods. C. Count on the latest dietary advice. D. Follow body signals sensibly. D We become bored if something fails to absorb our attention, or when we perceive it as meaningless. This is not to say that something needs to be both engaging and meaningful to keep us interested: doing sudoku might be absorbing but relatively meaningless, while reading a Peppa Pig bedtime story for the 500th time is not engaging but may nonetheless feel like a meaningful thing to do. In any case, when boredom strikes it should serve as a reminder to do something more engaging or meaningful. If you don’t react appropriately to your boredom, you may find yourself becoming chronically (长期) bored. That is associated with a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, poor life satisfaction and so on. There is statistical evidence to suggest that chronic boredom is becoming more common, and that this commonness consists with the rise of smartphones. Why might digital media have this effect? Research has shown that the main reason we pick up our phones or check our socials is to relieve boredom, but that the behavior actually worsens it. Digital devices may hold our attention for a while, but much of what we do online doesn’t feel meaningful. It’s incredibly easy to plan to look at your phone for just five minutes and resurface two hours later with a stranger’s holiday plans or the latest entertainment news. Phones’ effectiveness at throwing us into shallow stimulation blocks us from important self-reflection like “Why am I feeling this?” or “What do I need that I’m not getting?” If we pause and listen, then perhaps we can make a choice rather than being controlled by software engineers. Next time boredom strikes, don’t try to assuage it instantly and ask ourselves: are we in search of pure entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or our community or something different, something new? The people who choose to embrace (拥抱) boredom, at least for a while, may actually experience less of it. It could even be the first step towards a life that feels more stimulating overall: meaningful, creative and free. 32. How does the author clarify his view in the first paragraph? A. By defining concepts. B. By giving examples. C. By raising assumptions. D. By analyzing data. 33. What can be inferred about boredom? A. It is easy to overcome. B. It signals a need for change. C. It is caused by digital devices D. It always indicates mental illness. 34. What does the underlined word “assuage” in the last paragraph mean? A. identify. B. judge. C. use. D. relieve. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Should we embrace boredom? B. Why should we cut digital device use? C. What is the root of boredom? D. Can we balance boredom and digital life? 第二节 七选五(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。 Take a Thought Walk Have you ever considered when you get your best ideas? Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head? ____36____ But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes. The best ideas can land when you least expect them — but there are things you can do to help them along, and that’s where walking comes in. Even a quick walk can reduce stress, clarify thinking or give your creativity a boost. Here’s why you should put your best foot forward. ____37____ Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.” The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental capacity. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside. ____38____ Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds. Walking and taking big breaths of fresh air are like gently letting the pressure out...” ____39____ It holds partial focus, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. Whether you’re revising for an exam, feeling stuck on a school project or working through a friendship problem, going for a walk could help. Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking. ____40____ This suggests that it increases what the experts call “divergent thinking” — the process where the mind generates a wide range of possible ideas or solutions to a problem. A. It helps clear your head for new thoughts. B. Many experts believe walking improves mental health. C. Some people find their best ideas come when relaxing quietly. D. Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all. E. Evidence for walking’s calming power comes from lived experience. F. It might be sitting at your desk in school or working at a computer. G. Participants in a study increased their brainstorming by 60% during/after walks. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共20小题：每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I remember the day my daughter Karen learned to ride her bicycle alone for the first time.

Every morning, twelve-year-old Mia did her hair at the kitchen table, her fingers moving quickly as she tried to ignore the regular “clang-clang-clang” beside her. Her little brother Leo, his cheeks still soft with sleep, was hitting his spoon on his bowl like a bell. “Stop it” Mia said, throwing potato chips at him. As she did, the necklace (项链) around her neck moved a little. The necklace, made of shells (贝壳), was her most loved thing — a gift from Grandma before she passed away. Mia valued this necklace dearly. She remembered how Grandma had handpicked each shell during their last trip to the beach. “This round shell means patience,” Grandma had whispered stories while placing it around Mia’s neck. Right now, Mia needed all the patience she could get. As the days went by, Mia found herself struggling less to keep her patience. Leo’s noisy habits, though still bothersome, didn’t seem as annoying as before. There were moments when she’d catch him making funny faces or dancing around to music only she could hear. She would roll her eyes, but deep down, a part of her smiled. One afternoon, while sitting together on the sofa, Leo shyly asked about the necklace. “Why do you love it so much?” he whispered. Mia then told him the story of Grandma and the special meaning of each shell. For a moment, Leo looked thoughtful, and Mia hoped he understood how much the necklace meant to her. She wished he would be more careful — but little did she know, that wish was about to be tested. After a two-day summer camp, Mia came home and found Leo lying on her bedroom floor, her box turned over. “What are you doing?” she shouted. Leo jumped. “I — I just wanted to see…” The necklace fell from his hand, and the string broke. The shells dropped to the floor like small white teeth, some of them broken into several parts. 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。 Mia’s heart sank. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 听力答案 1-5 CACCA 6.

C 【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章详细介绍了“Fighting Words Poetry Contest”诗歌比赛的主题、参赛资格、奖项设置、截止日期和参赛指南，旨在鼓励学生通过诗歌回应时事和社区问题，并明确提供了报名方式和联系方式。 【21题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“How can poetry be an effective response to current events and the issues impacting our communities? How can journalism and poetry help us make connections between global issues and our local and personal contexts? Students are invited to explore these questions and make their voices heard in their entries (参赛作品) to the Fighting Words Poetry Contest.(诗歌如何有效回应时事及影响社群的各类议题？新闻与诗歌又该如何帮助我们搭建全球议题与本地、个人场景之间的联结？诚邀学生们探索这些问题，并通过参与“抗争之语诗歌大赛”，在参赛作品中发出自己的声音。)”可知，该赛事核心目的是邀请学生通过诗歌探索诗歌如何回应时事、诗歌与新闻如何联结全球议题与个人或本地场景等问题，本质是鼓励通过诗歌探讨全球议题。故选D。 【22题详解】细节理解题。根据文章Entry guidelines部分中的“Go to the Pulitzer Center website and select a story (see the “Suggested Stories” list above). Write a poem of any form and length that includes lines from the story.(访问普利策中心官网，选择一篇报道（可参考上方“推荐报道”列表）。创作一首诗歌（体裁、篇幅不限），需在诗中引用所选报道的语句。)”可知，所有参赛作品的核心要求之一是必须引用从普利策中心官网选定的报道中的语句。故选C。 【23题详解】推理判断题。根据文章Prizes and recognition表格中内容可知，一等奖至入围奖均设有现金奖励（$300至$75 不等），且所有获奖者的作品都会在“普利策中心官网”发表。故选C。 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述Brian Peterson与无家可归者Matt Faris之间的故事，以及由此引发的创建非营利组织“Faces of Santa Ana”的行动，展现了爱与关怀的力量。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.(一天，Peterson正在客厅里放松，阅读一本名为《Love Does》（《爱，就要行动》）的书，书中讲述了“行动中爱的力量”。就在这时，那个无家可归者的声音打破了他的宁静。受书中理念的启发，Peterson做了一个出人意料的决定：他要出门去，主动向对方自我介绍。)”可知，Peterson是受到《Love Does》一书中 “行动中爱的力量” 这一理念的启发，才决定主动与Faris接触并自我介绍。故选B。 【25题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up homeless for more than a decade.(在第一次交谈中，Peterson得知这个男子名叫Matt Faris。Faris曾为追求音乐事业搬到加利福尼亚，却很快遭遇困境，此后无家可归的状态持续了十多年。)”以及“And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’portrait (肖像). Faris said yes. (尽管Peterson是克利夫兰艺术学院的毕业生，且已近八年没碰过画笔，他却不由自主地问Faris，能否为他画一幅肖像。Faris答应了。)”可推测，该段主要讲述了Peterson与Faris第一次交谈的内容（Faris的经历），以及此次交谈后Peterson提出为Faris画肖像、Faris同意的过程，核心是两人初次建立联系的经过。故选C。 【26题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Peterson has discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”(Peterson发现，买家们往往会被画中人物的故事所打动，从中找到共鸣，甚至会与原本可能视而不见的人建立起友谊。“人们经常告诉我，‘以前看到无家可归的人，我会绕到马路对面走。但现在，我看待他们的方式不一样了，’”Peterson说，“这是我当初完全没预料到的。”)”可知，Peterson引用人们的话是为了体现自己创立的“圣安娜面孔”组织及肖像创作工作带来的影响——让人们改变了对无家可归者的固有看法，开始愿意与他们产生联结。故选B。 【27题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕Brian Peterson这一人物展开，讲述了他受书籍启发主动接触无家可归者Matt Faris，进而创立非营利组织“圣安娜面孔”，通过为无家可归者画肖像帮助他们、改变公众对这一群体看法的故事，核心是人物的经历与行动。故选A。 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了饮食研究因研究方法局限和媒体报道偏见，而经常呈现矛盾结论，因此无需过度追求完美饮食。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong.(所有这些说法都声称是基于最新的研究成果，而每一种说法又都声称要证明前一种研究存在错误)”可知，媒体频繁报道最新的饮食研究，而新的研究总是与过往的研究相矛盾。故选D。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. “What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University.(误导性的媒体报道起到了一定作用，但发表偏倚则是主要因素之一：那些得出惊人结果的研究更有可能被发表出来。俄勒冈科技大学的维纳说道：“在晚间新闻中所呈现的内容是这样一个系统所产生的最终结果，该系统鼓励每个人都得出积极的结果。”)”可知，巧克力竟然有助于减肥存在发表偏见。故选A。 【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. Instead, nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries, and then track the health of participants over a given period of time.(解决这一问题的一种方法是开展大规模的随机对照试验，这种试验会将参与者随机分配到不同的组别，以控制变量。但对于食物而言，这类研究很难进行，因为很少有人会为了偶然的机会而改变饮食习惯；更少有人能长期保持改变后的饮食习惯从而获得益处。因此，营养学家通常会通过让参与者填写饮食日记来观察他们的饮食情况，然后在一段时间内跟踪参与者的健康状况)”以及第四段“In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet — with more fast food, for instance — might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways, such as smoking. Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart.(在这些“观察性”研究中，研究对象在日常生活中会记录自己的饮食情况。在用餐时间之外的行为差异可能会导致结果大相径庭。那些饮食习惯被认为不健康（比如摄入较多的快餐）的人，可能在其他方面也有不良的生活习惯，比如吸烟。因此，饮食对健康的影响很难单独区分出来)”可知，第3段和第4段主要讨论了研究饮食影响所面临的主要问题。故选C。 【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“But it does suggest that within limits of common sense, one way of eating is about as good as another.(但这确实表明，在常识的合理范围内，不同的饮食方式在总体上是相当相似的，没有哪一种方式明显优于其他方式)”和“Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine.(在合理范围内，相信自己的直觉通常是没问题的)”可知，作者建议理智地倾听身体的信号。故选D。 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了无聊感的成因、影响及应对方式。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This is not to say that something needs to be both engaging and meaningful to keep us interested:doing sudoku might be absorbing but relatively meaningless, while reading a Peppa Pig bedtime story for the 500th time is not engaging but may nonetheless feel like a meaningful thing to do.(这并不是说某件事物必须既引人入胜又有意义才能让我们保持兴趣：做数独可能很吸引人，但相对没有意义，而第500次读《小猪佩奇》的睡前故事可能并不吸引人，但可能仍然觉得这是一件有意义的事情。)”可知，作者通过列举做数独和读《小猪佩奇》睡前故事这两个例子来阐明自己的观点。故选B。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In any case, when boredom strikes it should serve as a reminder to do something more engaging or meaningful.(无论如何，当无聊来袭时，它应该提醒我们做一些更有吸引力或更有意义的事情。)”可知，无聊的出现提醒我们做一些更有吸引力或更有意义的事情，即它暗示着我们需要做出改变。故选B。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Next time boredom strikes, don’t try to assuage it instantly and ask ourselves: are we in search of pure entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or our community or something different, something new?(下次无聊来袭时，不要试图立刻assuage它，问问自己：我们是在寻找纯粹的娱乐，还是更有目的的东西，一个与朋友或社区联系的机会，或者别的东西，新的东西？)”及后文“embrace boredom（接纳无聊）”的对比可推知，assuage与“缓解”相关。故选D。 35题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“The people who choose to embrace (拥抱) boredom, at least for a while, may actually experience less of it. It could even be the first step towards a life that feels more stimulating overall: meaningful, creative and free.(那些选择至少在一段时间内拥抱无聊的人，实际上可能会经历更少的无聊。这甚至可能是迈向一种整体上感觉更刺激的生活——有意义、有创造力和自由的生活——的第一步。)”结合全文内容可知，本文主要讨论了无聊以及我们是否应该拥抱无聊，所以A项“Should we embrace boredom?（我们应该接受无聊吗？）”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. A 39. D 40. G 【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要探讨散步如何激发创造性思维、缓解压力并提升问题解决能力，通过科学依据和真实案例说明步行对个人心智发展的积极影响。 【36题详解】由上文“Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head?(那么，当你突然想到解决问题的办法时，你正在做些什么呢？)”和下文“But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes.(但它也可能在做其他的事情，比如洗澡或者洗碗)”可知，此处需要回答前面的问题并与后文对应，F选项“它可能就坐在你学校的课桌上，或者正坐在电脑前工作呢”在此处串联上下文。故选F。 【37题详解】根据后文“Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.”(米歇尔，一位 21 岁的大学生，在青少年时期因经历了一段压力较大的时期而开始喜欢上散步。她回忆道：“我妈妈喜欢散步，所以是她最先建议我出去走走的。大约 10 分钟后，我感觉好多了。”)”可知，此处应是本段总起句，强调走路的缓解焦虑作用，E选项“步行具有镇静作用的证据来自于个人的亲身经历”起到了统领本段内容的作用。故选E。 【38题详解】由上文“The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental capacity. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside.(步行带来的益处远不止能让人放松——它还能提升思维能力。拥有 20 年教学经验的高中教师吉莉安·米尔斯解释道：“当学生们感到压力过大而无法清晰思考时，我们通常会建议他们出去走走。”)”和下文气球比喻“Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds.(想象一下压力就像一个气球在不断膨胀。它不断充气，压力也随之增大)”可知，此处强调散步帮助释放压力，理清思路的作用，A选项“它有助于让你的头脑清醒，从而产生新的想法”符合语境。故选A。 【39题详解】由后文“It holds partial focus, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. Whether you’re revising for an exam, feeling stuck on a school project or working through a friendship problem, going for a walk could help.(它能让你部分集中注意力，使你能够留意周围环境，同时让思绪在新的方向上自由驰骋。无论是为考试复习、在学业上遇到瓶颈还是解决友谊问题，出去散步或许会有所帮助)”可知，此段突出的是散步分散部分注意力，有帮于产生新想法的作用，D选项“重要的是，步行所占用的注意力恰到好处，但又并非过多”符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】由上文“Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking.(斯坦福大学证实了这一现象。他们发现步行与创造性思维之间存在着明确的关联)”和下文“This suggests that it increases what the experts call “divergent thinking” — the process where the mind generates a wide range of possible ideas or solutions to a problem.(这表明，它能够增强专家们所说的“发散性思维”——即大脑在处理问题时能够产生大量可能的想法或解决方案的过程)”可知，此处需具体说明散步对创造性思维的作用，选项G“在一项研究中，参与者在散步期间/之后的头脑风暴次数增加了60%”中的“brainstorming”与下文的“divergent thinking”(发散思维)同义，直接对应研究发现。故选G。 【答案】41.

She stared at the broken shells on the floor, her breath caught in her throat. “You knew this was special” She picked up the pieces, her voice shaking. “Get out” Leo stepped back quickly. “I didn’t mean to…” he whispered, his voice shaking. “You never mean to” she screamed. Leo’s face turned pale, and he quickly bent down to pick up the pieces. Mia turned away, unable to speak. That night, she lay in bed staring at the ceiling, remembering Grandma’s warm hands and gentle voice: “Patience” She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace. The next morning, Mia was surprised to find a box on her desk. On top was a note, written in shaky letters: “I’m sorry, Mia. I tried to fix it.” Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart. At the center was a new shell — small, but shining — clearly one Leo had found himself. Mia smiled through tears. It wasn’t perfect, but it was filled with love. She picked up the necklace and gently placed it around her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Leo.” 【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米娅珍视奶奶留下的贝壳项链，项链承载着特殊意义。起初她难容忍弟弟利奥吵闹，奶奶说的“耐心”让米娅尽量耐心地对待利奥，因此两人的关系缓和。但暑假露营后的一天利奥不小心将项链摔碎。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅的心沉了下去”可知，第一段可描写米娅十分生气，想起奶奶说的“耐心”。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，米娅惊讶地发现自己的办公桌上有一个盒子”可知，第二段可描写次日利奥用胶水修补项链，还加入新贝壳，米娅感动，体会到弟弟的爱。 2.续写线索：米娅生气——利奥道歉——米娅想起奶奶说的“耐心”——利奥修补项链——米娅感动——米娅感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类①尝试：try to/attempt to ②不能：unable to/fail to 情绪类①爱：love/affection ②温柔的：gentle/mild 【点睛】[高分句型1] She clutched her pillow, trying to forget the broken necklace.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Inside, she saw the broken shells carefully glued back together, some tied with string, some placed in the shape of a heart.（运用了独立主格结构） 听力原文： 1. 【原文】W: John, could you go over that new dance with me tonight?

W: Oh, I love the beautiful scenery most. 4. 【原文】W: Have you ever heard about Wildlife Warriors? M: Yes. It's a charity that helps protect wildlife around the world. It works together with scientists to study how humans can better protect wildlife. W: It's asking for donations now. I want to donate some money. 5. 【原文】W: Should we stop and grab something to eat before we get to the movie theater or do you just want to have something at the movies? What do you think? M: Whatever you decide is cool with me. W: Then I'll choose the former. Let's find a parking space. 第二节（共15小题：每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 6-7【原文】W: I hardly slept at all last night. M: Really? You usually don't have much trouble sleeping. W: I keep thinking about the job interview. I worry about it. You know, this is my first job interview. On the other hand, I don't particularly want the job. So I don't know why I'm worried. M: Maybe deep inside you really want it. W: No. If I get it, fine. If I don't get it, that's fine as well. M: But it would be a promotion for you-and more money. W: But, in addition, I would have a 15-mile journey every day. M: Well, there are usually some sacrifices that have to be made if you want to get ahead in the world. W: I know, but maybe not caring will make me less nervous. 8-9-10【原文】M: Do you know where you can go shopping in Whitstable? W: Yes. I’ve searched the Internet for this seaside town.

Since I was only a few blocks from Main Street, I went over to Martin’s. Did you know that Martin’s has gone out of business? I’m not happy about that. W: That’s too bad, but I’m not surprised. A lot of family-owned shops are closing because of the construction of shopping centers. M: Yeah, and don’t forget about all the big stores that are being built too. The reason why people prefer to shop there is to save money. Everyone loves shopping centers and big stores due to the low prices and the huge selection. W: Not me! I loved Martin’s for their beautiful clothes and friendly salespeople. When you were there, you almost felt like a queen. You’ll never get that at a shopping center or a big store. 14-15-16-17【原文】W: Mike, is that a Spanish book in your hand? M: Yes. W: I really didn't know you’re learning Spanish.

W: Well, in 2016, he was working in a grocery store and released his music on the music-sharing site SoundCloud. Soon, he got a contract with a record company because of that. His first album made it to No. 11 on the charts. M: That's not bad. W: Yeah. The singer is really productive. Altogether Bad Bunny released three albums in 2020. All made the US top ten. M: That's really unbelievable. 18-19-20【原文】 W: Quiet, please. May I have all your attention? We need to get this meeting started because we have a lot to do before graduation.
