Every day, the streets are noisy with the activity of millions of souls, each of them living in their own way. It seems that people from every corner of the planet live here. And every single person has their own unique story. However, people here can often feel quite lonely. It’s a strange contradiction —you’re surrounded (围绕) by other people at every moment, but you still feel like you’re the only person on the planet. You can walk through a crowd and feel like you’re floating alone in space. Even the busiest shopping mall can feel like a foreign planet. Have you ever felt like this? It’s not an unusual feeling. Living in crowded urban areas can often make people feel this way. There are many ways to deal with this feeling—but perhaps the best way is to rely on your friends. When I’m feeling lonely or sad, the first thing I do is pick up my phone and text a friend. All of us are busy with work and personal matters, but my closest friends always take the time to reply. In a world where feelings of loneliness can come so easily, friends are the best antidote (解药) to these feelings. I’ve got through some of the hardest times in my life with the help of my friends. Take time to nurture (培养) your own friendships. You never know when you will need someone to lift you up. 1. What problem is discussed in the story? A. Noise in big cities. B. Traffic in big cities. C. The difficulty of making friends. D. The loneliness of living in cities. 2 The underlined word “contradiction” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________. A. reply B. mistake C. mismatch D. collection 3. According to the author, the best way to deal with loneliness is to ________. A. communicate with friends B. go to parties C. find the best antidote D. go shopping 4. What do we know from the story? A. Loneliness harms our health. B. Friends cannot always help us. C. Friendship is important. D. People in cities rarely feel lonely. 5. In which section of a newspaper might you find this story? A. Health. B. Culture. C. Science. D. Story. B There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO. If no action is taken, some of these languages will be gone forever. Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages disappear, HuffPost reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities or towns. In addition, the languages of “dominant (占主导地位的)” cultures may drive other languages into extinction (灭绝). To get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own languages. Dominant languages include English and French. Once a language dies, it rarely comes back to life. Governments across the globe are taking action to stop this. The US state of Alaska would announce that the loss of indigenous languages (土著语言) is an “emergency (紧急事件)”. In New Zealand, the government said it wanted more than 20 percent of the country’s population to be able to speak basic Maori by 2024. It provided Maori lessons in all New Zealand schools, The New York Times reported. China is also trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China, even more than the number of ethnic groups in the country. In 2015, the government started a project to record all the languages spoken in China, Xinhua reported. Universities like Minzu University of China have created ethnic minority language majors (专业) for their students. 6. How many languages worldwide are in danger of dying out? A. About 2,580 languages. B. About 3,420 languages. C. About 4,300 languages. D. About 6,000 languages. 7. According to Paragraph 2, why might a language die out? A. Speakers move away and stop using it. B. It is too difficult to learn. C. It is used in closed communities. D. Schools don’t offer lessons for it. 8. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The emergency in Alaska. B. The extinction of languages. C. Action taken to save endangered languages. D. The loss of dominant languages. 9. What step did New Zealand take to help save the Maori language? A. Spread the language overseas. B. Offered Maori lessons in schools. C. Recorded the language in books and media. D. Limited the use of other languages. 10. Which title is the best for the passage? A. Losing Our Languages B. Protecting Ethnic Groups C. Improving College Courses D. Building Native Communities C Before you read this article, let’s take a look at a sentence in Chinese: “研表究明，汉字序顺并不定一影阅响读。” Did you notice that some of the characters in this sentence are in the wrong order? You might not realize it, but your brain can read and understand most sentences, even when the words are in the wrong order. This may have something to do with psychology, according to Chen Qingrong from Nanjing Normal University. When we’re first learning how to read, we read word by word. But after we become more experienced, we read in full phrases and even sentences. People can read five to six words at one time, Chen told the Yangtse Evening Post. Also, as experienced readers, we take the things we’re familiar with for granted (把……当做理所当然). We don’t pay as much attention to small details, such as word order. Therefore, when we read the sentence at the beginning of this article, the content was already familiar to us. So we read it the way we think it should be in our memory, with all the words in the right order. This is like when we see a person with long hair, we think the person is a girl without taking a closer look, according to Chen. This can be also seen in many other languages, such as English. Read the following sentence: “This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe.” It is believed that humans remember the meanings of words mostly by their shape and layout, rather than the order of the letters, Matt Davis of Cambridge University told The Independent. However, we cannot read scrambled (乱的) sentences as quickly and efficiently as we read normal text, according to The Daily Telegraph. 11. If the words in a sentence are in the wrong order, we may ________. A. still be able to read it B. have trouble understanding it C. correct it immediately D. have to ask others for help 12. According to Chen Qingrong, why doesn’t word order affect experienced readers? A. They read sentences word by word. B. They read in complete phrases or sentences. C. They often pay special attention to small details. D. They are familiar with the wrong order of sentences. 13. The example sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that ________. A. English is different from other languages B. many languages are read in full phrases C. English speakers pay more attention to word order D. English sentences are easier to remember from their shape 14. Paragraph 6 is written to ________. A. show that people care more about sentence shape B. give suggestions on how to remember the meanings of words C. explain why people can understand scrambled English sentences D. stress that the order of the letters in a sentence is not important 15. What is the main idea of the article? A. Words should always appear in the right order. B. We can read and understand scrambled sentences. C. We don’t always pay attention to small details. D. We remember the meanings of words by the order of the letters. D Since Apple dropped its iPhone 17 on Sept 9, the “Cosmic Orange” color for the Pro model has turned heads. It is a move away from more common colors, such as white and black. Colors are more than just visual effects (效果). According to the American Marketing Association, bright colors can make a product seem better, even if the color doesn’t actually change how the product works. This happens because the richness or purity of a color might make people more confident in the product. Why is this? According to an article from the University of Leeds, when light comes into our eyes, special cells (细胞) at the back of our eyes react to different colors and send signals (信号) to the brain. Most signals go to the visual cortex (视觉皮层), where we see pictures. But some are sent to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). This part controls things in our body, such as temperature and mood. So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel. For example, blue light can make our blood flow and heartbeat slow down. It can also lower our blood pressure and help us relax, according to the University of Derby in the UK. Orange, on the other hand, wakes up our senses, making it great for catching attention. However, no color has been shown to increase sales more than others, said researchers at the University of Southern California in the US. Still, successful brands often use colors to create their images. For example, Coca-Cola uses red because it increases heart rate (心率) and improves appetite (食欲). 16. Which color makes products seem better according to the story? A. Brown. B. Black. C. Gray. D. Orange. 17. How do some colors improve how people feel about products? A. They react to special cells in our eyes. B. They excite more parts of the brain. C. They make the brain produce more signals. D. They go directly to the brain’s visual cortex. 18. What effect does blue light have on people? A. It wakes up their senses. B. It increases heart rate. C. It helps them relax. D. It makes them feel hungry. 19. Why does Coca-Cola use red as its brand color? A. To make people feel thirsty. B. To build a brand image. C. To show product quality. D. To control the whole market. 20. What is the story mainly about? A. How the body reacts to different colors. B. How special colors become popular. C. What new colors Apple used for its phones. D. Why bright colors are used for products. 第二节 补全短文（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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，并涂在答题卡上相应的位置。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In Chinese, a vivid phrase “daomei” is widely and commonly used to describe bad luck. ____21____ It is said that daomei comes from the dialect (方言) of the Zhejiang region during the Ming Dynasty. ____22____ At the time, there was no National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) like today. If someone wanted to become a civil servant (文职官员), that person would need to take the keju tests step by step. ____23____ There were four levels—Country Level for the government student, Provincial Level for the elevated man, Metropolitan Level for the tribute scholar and Palace Level for the advanced scholar. Through the highest-level tests, called “dianshi”, the best candidates (候选人) were chosen by the emperor. The keju tests were hard and full of competition. During the Ming Dynasty, candidates in the Zhejiang province would put up a flagpole (旗杆) in front of their home gate, wishing for good luck on the tests. Local people called the flagpole “mei (楣)” at the time. ____24____ If they failed, the flagpole would be removed, which was called “daomei”, meaning “the flagpole falls”. ____25____ The Chinese character for mei was also changed from “楣” to today’s “霉”, since the two have the same pronunciation. A. The primary purpose of keju testing system was to choose talented individuals for the state’s government. B. If someone passed a test, the flagpole would be kept up. C. As time passed, daomei was used to refer not only to “failing a test”, but also to describe being unlucky in general. D. Daomei has something to do with the keju testing system, or the traditional examinations that were given in ancient China. E. Do you know where daomei was from? F. Generally, the keju testing system had several tests at different levels. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并涂在答题卡上相应的位置。 Our family went to the Yellowstone National Park for the summer vacation.

With his red hat and famous mustache (小胡子), the Italian plumber (水管工) Mario first appeared in the game Donkey Kong (1981). Later in 1985, he became famous with Super Mario Bros. In this game, the Mushroom Kingdom is taken over by King Koopa. With his helpers, he takes Princess Peach away. Mario and his brother Luigi, both plumbers, hear about what has happened and set off to help. Though Mario is a hero in the famous game, he still finds time for many hobbies in the game series and spin-offs (衍生作品). He plays tennis, soccer, baseball and basketball. He is also a race car driver, an Olympic player and a doctor. On top of all this, he throws a lot of house parties. In real life, no one could do all of these things. That’s why Mario has won the hearts of millions of fans around the world. Mario’s actions in the game can be easily understood by everyone. As Mario’s creator, Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, explained in an NPR interview in 2015, “Everyone is afraid of falling from a great height.
