Grammar and Vocabulary Section A (每题1分，共10分) Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. China’s robotaxis are racing ahead If autonomous cars are supposed to make life easy, then Apollo Go, the robotaxi unit of Baidu, still has work to do. Apollo Go, launched in Wuhan in 2022, has expanded to ten other Chinese cities and has been a hit. Its service ___1___(carry) out 6m rides nationwide. It now has more than 400 driverless cars in Wuhan and plans to have 1,000 running on the road by the end of this year. Chinese carmakers including Hongqi and Arcfox make the vehicles for Baidu, which provides the technology. Most of its cars in Wuhan have “level four” autonomy, which means they do not require human intervention in most situations on the road but can get muddled in areas such as parking garages-which might explain ___2___ it asks customers to walk through the city’s sweltering heat. The reason why Apollo Go has, nevertheless, gained such favour ___3___ riders is that it is astonishingly cheap. Your correspondent’s 11-minute spin cost just 9.84 yuan ($1.35). Such fares are possible thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which ___4___ (cover) around 60% of the cost of a ride. That is not sustainable. But, ___5___ the decreasing costs, the company reckons its robotaxis in Wuhan will break even by the end of the year and turn a profit in 2025. Drivers account for about half of the total cost for a conventional ride-hailing service. But a variety of other expenses ___6___ (associate) with autonomous vehicles-from maintenance and cleaning to sensors and, most importantly, the software on ___7___ they run — have so far prevented them being a cheaper substitute. Baidu sees that changing. In May it unveiled its sixth-generation vehicle, which costs less than half the previous model, and plans to upgrade the fleet in Wuhan. As the business has expanded, the supply chain has matured and Baidu has been able to spread the cost of developing and updating its technology over more vehicles. One group that is not thrilled by Baidu’s success is Wuhan’s cabbies. When asked ___8___ taxi drivers’ jobs will be affected, one insists that it “is already happening”. Another driver says he admires Baidu’s technological advances but worries his job will be “stolen”. Last month a taxi company in the city published an open letter warning of the threat that autonomous cars posed to employment. About 10m people are employed as cabbies in China，of ___9___ about 7m work for ride-hailing firms, in many cases after losing their jobs in another industry. China’s eager to gain ____10____ edge in emerging industries. In June the city of Beijing drafted a new set of guidelines for autonomous driving that HSBC, a bank, says will make regulation of the industry more “transparent and predictable”.

A. insufficient B. institution C. applicants D. remedy E. general F. judged G. cultivate H. necessarily I. acquired J. assume K. contrarily The British Medical Journal recently published an editorial. It is a strong response to what was ___11___ an inappropriately merciful reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination. Although we have ___12___ reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense. There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to ___13___ that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients, colleagues, and government. The behaviors under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are ___14___ long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behavior are very normal. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is common; there are homes which ___15___ young people with high standards of moral behavior and others which leave moral training to the harmful influence of television and the market place. Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to ___16___ all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favor ___17___ with positive moral behavior. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for cultivating future doctors with moral sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling data that suggest that during medical school the moral behavior of medical students does not ___18___ improve; indeed, moral development may actuality stop or even regress (倒退). It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the ___19___ set a personal example on moral behavior. Medical schools must do something to make sure that their students are expected to be clear from day one. The development of a school’s culture of moral behavior requires cooperation with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and developing. Moreover, the school’s examination system and ___20___ treatment of students must be fair, firm and transparent. Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension Section A(每题1分，共15分) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. You can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, according to a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science.But that shouldn't stop you from___21___with pals who are down in the dumps,say the study authors:___22___,the effect isn't large enough to push you into depression. The new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadness-as well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking,drinking,obesity,fitness habits and even the ability to concentrate-can___23___across social networks, both online and in real life.But while many___24___studies have only looked at friendship data at one point in time, this is one of the few that measured social and mood changes over time. The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in___25___ screenings(筛查） and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were also enrolled in the study. In total,2,194 students were included in the___26___,which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks. Overall,kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more___27___to report bad moods themselves- and they were less likely to have improved when they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends,___28___,their moods were more likely to improve over time. Some symptoms related to depression-like helplessness,tiredness and loss of interest-also seemed to follow this___29___,which scientists call “social contagion.”But this isn't something that people need to ___30___,says lead author Robert Eyre,a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, it's likely just a “___31___empathetic response that we're all familiar with, and something we recognize by common sense,"he says. In other words,when a friend is going through a rough patch, it makes sense that you'll feel some of their ___32___,and it's certainly not a reason to stay away. The study also found that having friends who were clinically depressed did not ___33___ participants' risk of becoming depressed themselves. “Your friends do not put you at risk of illness," says Eyre,"so a good course of action is simply to___34___them."To boost both of your moods, he suggests doing things together that you both ___35___-and taking other friends along to further spread those good feelings,too.” 21.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) As a boy, when Jonny Kinkead wasn’t making things using the tools in his dad’s garage, he was messing about with a guitar. And the two pre-occupations have been his living for the past four decades: building steel-string guitars by hand. “The guitar still appeals to me,” he says. “Making a sound out of wood—it’s amazing what you can do.” Jonny learned to play his brother’s guitar when he was eleven. Then, when he was sixteen, he wanted to learn the bass guitar. “Some people would have got a holiday job and saved up and bought one,” he says. “But I was of a mindset that if you wanted something, you made it.” Although the bass was the first instrument Jonny built from nothing, he and his brothers had long been doing essentially the same thing with other items. “I made model boats and aeroplanes as a child, so I was familiar with that process. My father had taught me and my brothers how to use tools, and we had free materials in the garage.” Jonny had also been customizing and repairing instruments for his mates. Jonny’s bass guitar turned out well, but the idea of a career building guitars had yet to cross his mind. “My ambition then was to be a sculptor,” he says. His interests evolved further and on finishing school, he chose to study architecture at university. Halfway through the course, however, he dropped out, but left with a clearer idea of what he wanted to do and started to think seriously about guitar making. “I was still interested in painting and sculpture but I realized that when you are building guitars, you’re actually sculpting sound.” In addition, he explains, “I thought this might be more reliable than being an artist as it’s craft-based.” Ever since then, Jonny has made guitars for a living. For the first ten years, he added to his income by cleaning windows part-time. The first guitars he sold only went for the cost of the materials, but as he developed a reputation as one of the best guitar-makers around, he was able to charge a little more. But even now, almost forty years later, Jonny describes what he does as “still scratching a living”. He admits he can never actually turn out more than ten guitars a year, which inevitably restricts his earnings. 36. Why did Jonny choose to make a bass guitar for himself in his teens? A. He regarded it as the natural thing to do. B. He feared that he would not be able to afford one. C. He saw it as good practice for making other guitars. D. He thought he could ensure it was in the style he wanted. 37. In paragraph 3 “that process” refers to _____. A. doing some favours for friends B. cooperating with his brothers C. creating something from nothing D. getting tools and materials ready 38. What does Jonny say about the architecture course he attended? A. It gave him the chance to explore different types of art. B. It helped him become financially independent. C. It provided him with ideas for guitar design. D. It enabled him to decide on a career path. 39. Jonny suggests that the main reason for his low income is _____. A. the high cost of the materials he makes guitars with B. the small number of guitars that he produces C. the limited demand for hand-made guitars D. the competition between guitar-makers (B) How to place an Order of Custom Jeans Select the Fabric & Styles →Fabric （布料）—Select the Fabric from our large collection of Denim Fabric Samples. →Special Wash—Select your favorite special wash treatment to make your jeans look stylish. →Thread Color—Select the thread color you want.

Nov.20 (C) Do the colors that surround you influence how you feel? Can the colors on your walls and on your clothes affect your moods? Some researchers believe the answer is a decisive yes, while others aren’t so sure. Yet many marketers, interior designers, medical professionals and others swear by an informal field of science known as color psychology. Color psychology is defined as “the study of how the colors we perceive impact our thoughts and feelings.” Marketers use the science of color to persuade us to buy things. When choosing paint, furniture and wall art, interior designers act on the theory that colors can arouse certain feelings in us. Dentists are often advised to use light blue paint on their office walls to help calm apprehensive patients. We should keep in mind, though, that only by considering cultural preferences are we able to fully understand the science of color. For instance, in the West, white is for brides and black is for funerals. But in ancient Asia, white was sometimes worn for funerals. In Japan yellow represents courage while in the United States, it represents happiness. Additionally, many variables including gender, age, background and more must be considered before making color assumptions when one is studying the effects of color. After taking color variable into account it’s safe to consider some mainstream theories about specific colors and their meanings. Here are just a few: Red symbolizes love, energy, passion and danger. Red is also believed to increase one’s hunger, which might be the reason why McDonald’s and Coca-Cola chose red as their major branding color. Brown, a color from nature, best represents things that are honest, trustworthy and dependable. It seems a perfect fit as the branding color for the package delivery company UPS. Blue-in addition to representing peace and calm-also means integrity and competence. It’s no surprise that PayPal and American Express both use blue as their branding color. Green-another color from nature-represents health, growth and freshness and is the perfect branding color for Starbucks. Pink symbolizes love romance, innocence and femininity (女性特质). The popular doll company that makes Barbie uses pink as its major branding color. If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. With this knowledge, we can effectively harness (驾驭) color power to create positive school, work and home environments. 43. What does the phrase “swear by” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. deeply investigate B. somewhat doubt C. deeply believe D. still wish 44. What is the writer’s purpose of taking white and black as an example in the passage? A. To remind we should take culture into account when learning the science of color. B. To state that cultural preferences are decisive factors in color psychology. C. To show different cultures have different preferences for different colors. D. To prove white and black represent complete different things in different countries. 45. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. color psychology may help us make correct decisions in life B. color psychology is an uncultivated field in modern science C. color psychology has been recognized throughout the world D. color psychology is influencing our emotions and decisions 46. What would be the proper title for the passage? A. The potential effects of color on our lives. B. The positives and negatives of color psychology. C. The foundation and function of color psychology. D. The relationship between color and man Section Section C(每题2分，共8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Until we start to lose our balance, we barely notice that it’s there at all. “It starts for a lot of people with simple stuff,” says Dr Anna Lowe, an expert on healthy ageing and physical activity. “____47____ It’s easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to ageing — but it really is something you can affect.” The key, it is increasingly becoming clear, is to address the decline before it gets serious: and that can happen earlier than you might think. What is balance? Technically, it’s the complex interaction of several different systems in your body — from muscles, nerves, eyesight and the inner ear to the sensory system that lets you recognize where your body is touching the ground, along with movement receptors within your joints that tell you where your body is in space. ____48____ A lack of balance is, globally, associated with serious health problems. Earlier this year, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published the results of a decade-long study involving more than 1,700 middle-aged participants, which concluded that an inability to balance was associated with an almost twofold increase in risk of death. “____49____” agrees Lowe, an associate professor researching strength and balance in midlife. “Older women are far less active than older men, and general activity, just moving around and doing stuff, affects balance a lot. Single-legged movements, such as walking lunges, are a great test of dynamic (动态的) balance, but even bilateral movements, like squats (深蹲), can provide a challenge.” ____50____ Resistance exercise, whether that means lifting weights or hiking with a backpack, comes with a host of other proven health benefits, from improved bone density to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s. As Locker puts it: everyone’s told to save money for their retirement, and nobody’s taught to save their balance. But both are difficult to get back once they’re gone. A. Early interventions are key, so you’ve got to stay active. B. Perhaps surprisingly, those who deal with it have struggled to settle on a single definition. C. It’s not something we’re born with, but also it’s not something we learn, but an ability that we gain early and lose over time. D. For some people just try to build in an element of balance and muscle strengthening. E. Maybe you used to be able to quickly stand on one leg to put a shoe on, and you’ve stopped doing that at some point. F. Whatever activity you choose, the lesson is to work on your balance before you need to, not when it becomes an issue. Ⅳ. Summary Writing(10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. One essential factor is human relationships. People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. Even a simple smile can work wonders. In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates(not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins(feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. You’ll also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A (每题1分，共10分) Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. China’s robotaxis are racing ahead If autonomous cars are supposed to make life easy, then Apollo Go, the robotaxi unit of Baidu, still has work to do. Apollo Go, launched in Wuhan in 2022, has expanded to ten other Chinese cities and has been a hit. Its service ___1___(carry) out 6m rides nationwide. It now has more than 400 driverless cars in Wuhan and plans to have 1,000 running on the road by the end of this year. Chinese carmakers including Hongqi and Arcfox make the vehicles for Baidu, which provides the technology. Most of its cars in Wuhan have “level four” autonomy, which means they do not require human intervention in most situations on the road but can get muddled in areas such as parking garages-which might explain ___2___ it asks customers to walk through the city’s sweltering heat. The reason why Apollo Go has, nevertheless, gained such favour ___3___ riders is that it is astonishingly cheap. Your correspondent’s 11-minute spin cost just 9.84 yuan ($1.35). Such fares are possible thanks to the generosity of Baidu, which ___4___ (cover) around 60% of the cost of a ride. That is not sustainable. But, ___5___ the decreasing costs, the company reckons its robotaxis in Wuhan will break even by the end of the year and turn a profit in 2025. Drivers account for about half of the total cost for a conventional ride-hailing service. But a variety of other expenses ___6___ (associate) with autonomous vehicles-from maintenance and cleaning to sensors and, most importantly, the software on ___7___ they run — have so far prevented them being a cheaper substitute. Baidu sees that changing. In May it unveiled its sixth-generation vehicle, which costs less than half the previous model, and plans to upgrade the fleet in Wuhan. As the business has expanded, the supply chain has matured and Baidu has been able to spread the cost of developing and updating its technology over more vehicles. One group that is not thrilled by Baidu’s success is Wuhan’s cabbies. When asked ___8___ taxi drivers’ jobs will be affected, one insists that it “is already happening”. Another driver says he admires Baidu’s technological advances but worries his job will be “stolen”. Last month a taxi company in the city published an open letter warning of the threat that autonomous cars posed to employment. About 10m people are employed as cabbies in China，of ___9___ about 7m work for ride-hailing firms, in many cases after losing their jobs in another industry. China’s eager to gain ____10____ edge in emerging industries. In June the city of Beijing drafted a new set of guidelines for autonomous driving that HSBC, a bank, says will make regulation of the industry more “transparent and predictable”. 【答案】1. has carried 2. why 3. of 4. has been covering 5. with 6. associated 7. which 8. whether 9. whom 10. an 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了中国无人驾驶出租车正在飞速发展。 【1题详解】 考查时态。句意：该服务在全国范围内完成了600万次出行。根据句意可知，本句在陈述过去动作对现在的影响，用现在完成时。主语单数，谓语单数。故填has carried。 【2题详解】 考查连接词。句意：该公司在武汉的大多数汽车都是“四级”自动驾驶，这意味着它们在道路上的大多数情况下都不需要人工干预，但在停车场等地方可能会搞混——这或许可以解释为什么它要求客户在城市闷热的天气里步行。explain后接宾语从句，空处表示原因，用连接副词why。故填why。 【3题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，阿波罗号之所以受到乘客的青睐，是因为它的价格便宜得惊人。表示所属关系，用介词of。故填of。 【4题详解】 考查时态。句意：这样的车费之所以成为可能，要感谢百度的慷慨解囊，百度承担了约60%的乘车费用。先行词为Baidu，作定语从句的主语，且从句表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响，且动作还可能持续下去，用现在完成进行时。故填has been covering。 【5题详解】 考查介词。句意：但是，随着成本的下降，该公司预计其在武汉的机器人出租车将在今年年底实现收支平衡，并在2025年实现盈利。表示“随着”，用介词with。故填with。 【6题详解】 考查非谓语。句意：但与自动驾驶汽车相关的其他各种费用——从维护和清洁到传感器，最重要的是，它们运行的软件——迄今为止阻碍了它们成为更便宜的替代品。be associated with与……相关，为固定短语，本句为过去分词作定语。故填associated。 【7题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：但与自动驾驶汽车相关的其他各种费用——从维护和清洁到传感器，最重要的是，它们运行的软件——迄今为止阻碍了它们成为更便宜的替代品。先行词为the software，作定语从句的宾语，关系代词为which。故填which。 【8题详解】 考查连接词。句意：当被问及出租车司机的工作是否会受到影响时，有人坚称“已经发生了”。asked后接宾语从句，表示“是否”，用连接词that。故填whether。 【9题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在中国，约有1000万人被聘为出租车司机，其中约700万人在叫车公司工作，其中许多人在其他行业失业。先行词为people，作定语从句中of宾语，关系代词为whom。故填whom。 【10题详解】 考查冠词。句意：其中约有700万人在叫车公司工作，其中许多人在其他行业失业。表示“获得优势”，“gain an edge”，edge为可数名词，表示泛指用不定冠词，edge首字母的元音为辅音音素，故用an。故填an。 Section B (每题1分，共10分) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) As a boy, when Jonny Kinkead wasn’t making things using the tools in his dad’s garage, he was messing about with a guitar. And the two pre-occupations have been his living for the past four decades: building steel-string guitars by hand. “The guitar still appeals to me,” he says. “Making a sound out of wood—it’s amazing what you can do.” Jonny learned to play his brother’s guitar when he was eleven. Then, when he was sixteen, he wanted to learn the bass guitar. “Some people would have got a holiday job and saved up and bought one,” he says. “But I was of a mindset that if you wanted something, you made it.” Although the bass was the first instrument Jonny built from nothing, he and his brothers had long been doing essentially the same thing with other items. “I made model boats and aeroplanes as a child, so I was familiar with that process. My father had taught me and my brothers how to use tools, and we had free materials in the garage.” Jonny had also been customizing and repairing instruments for his mates. Jonny’s bass guitar turned out well, but the idea of a career building guitars had yet to cross his mind. “My ambition then was to be a sculptor,” he says. His interests evolved further and on finishing school, he chose to study architecture at university. Halfway through the course, however, he dropped out, but left with a clearer idea of what he wanted to do and started to think seriously about guitar making. “I was still interested in painting and sculpture but I realized that when you are building guitars, you’re actually sculpting sound.” In addition, he explains, “I thought this might be more reliable than being an artist as it’s craft-based.” Ever since then, Jonny has made guitars for a living. For the first ten years, he added to his income by cleaning windows part-time. The first guitars he sold only went for the cost of the materials, but as he developed a reputation as one of the best guitar-makers around, he was able to charge a little more. But even now, almost forty years later, Jonny describes what he does as “still scratching a living”. He admits he can never actually turn out more than ten guitars a year, which inevitably restricts his earnings. 36. Why did Jonny choose to make a bass guitar for himself in his teens? A. He regarded it as the natural thing to do. B. He feared that he would not be able to afford one. C. He saw it as good practice for making other guitars. D. He thought he could ensure it was in the style he wanted. 37. In paragraph 3, “that process” refers to _____. A. doing some favours for friends B. cooperating with his brothers C. creating something from nothing D. getting tools and materials ready 38. What does Jonny say about the architecture course he attended? A. It gave him the chance to explore different types of art. B. It helped him become financially independent. C. It provided him with ideas for guitar design. D. It enabled him to decide on a career path. 39. Jonny suggests that the main reason for his low income is _____. A. the high cost of the materials he makes guitars with B. the small number of guitars that he produces C. the limited demand for hand-made guitars D. the competition between guitar-makers 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. D 39. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Jonny Kinkead由于小时候的经历在念大学时决定选择制作低音吉他作为自己的职业。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“ “Some people would have got a holiday job and saved up and bought one,” he says. “But I was of a mindset that if you wanted something, you made it.” (他说：“有些人会找到一份假期工作，然后存起来买一份。”。“但我的想法，如果你想要什么，你就自己做。”)”可知，Jonny在十几岁时选择自己做一把贝斯吉他是因为他认为自己做是理所当然的。故选A。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Although the bass was the first instrument Jonny built from nothing, he and his brothers had long been doing essentially the same thing with other items.“I made model boats and aeroplanes as a child, so I was familiar with that process. (尽管低音贝斯是Jonny从无到有制作的第一种乐器，但他和他的兄弟们长期以来一直在对其他乐器做基本相同的事情。“我小时候做过模型船和飞机，所以我对这个过程很熟悉。”)”可知，Jonny和兄弟们长期以来在父亲的指导下自己制作乐器，这是一个从无到有的创造过程。由此猜测that process指的是“从无到有制作一件东西”。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Jonny’s bass guitar turned out well, but the idea of a career building guitars had yet to cross his mind. “My ambition then was to be a sculptor,” he says. His interests evolved further and on finishing school, he chose to study architecture at university. Halfway through the course, however, he dropped out, but left with a clearer idea of what he wanted to do and started to think seriously about guitar making. (乔尼的低音吉他非常不错，但他还没有想过要用吉他来建立职业生涯。“当时我的志向是成为一名雕塑家，”他说。他的兴趣进一步发展，在完成学业后，他选择在大学学习建筑。然而，课程进行到一半时，他退出了，但离开时对自己想做什么有了更清晰的想法，并开始认真思考吉他制作)”可知，Jonny所上的建筑学课程促使他决定了以制作吉他为职业。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“He admits he can never actually turn out more than ten guitars a year, which inevitably restricts his earnings. (他承认，实际上他一年制作的吉他永远不会超过10把，这不可避免地限制了他的收入)”可知，Jonny认为他的低收入是因为他制作的吉他数量很少——一年不超过10把。故选B。 (B) How to place an Order of Custom Jeans Select the Fabric & Styles →Fabric （布料）—Select the Fabric from our large collection of Denim Fabric Samples. →Special Wash—Select your favorite special wash treatment to make your jeans look stylish. →Thread Color—Select the thread color you want.

Can the colors on your walls and on your clothes affect your moods? Some researchers believe the answer is a decisive yes, while others aren’t so sure. Yet many marketers, interior designers, medical professionals and others swear by an informal field of science known as color psychology. Color psychology is defined as “the study of how the colors we perceive impact our thoughts and feelings.” Marketers use the science of color to persuade us to buy things. When choosing paint, furniture and wall art, interior designers act on the theory that colors can arouse certain feelings in us. Dentists are often advised to use light blue paint on their office walls to help calm apprehensive patients. We should keep in mind, though, that only by considering cultural preferences are we able to fully understand the science of color. For instance, in the West, white is for brides and black is for funerals. But in ancient Asia, white was sometimes worn for funerals. In Japan yellow represents courage while in the United States, it represents happiness. Additionally, many variables including gender, age, background and more must be considered before making color assumptions when one is studying the effects of color. After taking color variable into account it’s safe to consider some mainstream theories about specific colors and their meanings. Here are just a few: Red symbolizes love, energy, passion and danger. Red is also believed to increase one’s hunger, which might be the reason why McDonald’s and Coca-Cola chose red as their major branding color. Brown, a color from nature, best represents things that are honest, trustworthy and dependable. It seems a perfect fit as the branding color for the package delivery company UPS. Blue-in addition to representing peace and calm-also means integrity and competence. It’s no surprise that PayPal and American Express both use blue as their branding color. Green-another color from nature-represents health, growth and freshness and is the perfect branding color for Starbucks. Pink symbolizes love, romance, innocence and femininity (女性特质). The popular doll company that makes Barbie uses pink as its major branding color. If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. With this knowledge, we can effectively harness (驾驭) color power to create positive school, work and home environments. 43. What does the phrase “swear by” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. deeply investigate B. somewhat doubt C. deeply believe D. still wish 44. What is the writer’s purpose of taking white and black as an example in the passage? A. To remind we should take culture into account when learning the science of color. B. To state that cultural preferences are decisive factors in color psychology. C. To show different cultures have different preferences for different colors. D. To prove white and black represent complete different things in different countries. 45. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. color psychology may help us make correct decisions in life B. color psychology is an uncultivated field in modern science C color psychology has been recognized throughout the world D. color psychology is influencing our emotions and decisions 46. What would be the proper title for the passage? A. The potential effects of color on our lives. B. The positives and negatives of color psychology. C. The foundation and function of color psychology. D. The relationship between color and man Section 【答案】43. C 44. A 45. D 46. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了色彩对我们生活的潜在影响。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话“Color psychology is defined as “the study of how the colors we perceive impact our thoughts and feelings.”(色彩心理学被定义为“研究我们感知的颜色如何影响我们的思想和感受。”)”以及第三段“Marketers use the science of color to persuade us to buy things. When choosing paint, fumiture and wall art, interior designers act on the theory that colors can arouse certain feelings in us. Dentists are often advised to use light blue paint on their office walls to help calm apprehensive patients.(营销人员利用色彩科学来说服我们购买东西。室内设计师在选择油漆、烟熏和墙壁艺术时，会根据这样一种理论行事，即颜色会引起我们的某些感觉。牙医经常被建议在办公室墙上使用浅蓝色油漆，以帮助焦虑的患者平静下来)”可知，色彩心理学研究发现颜色如何影响我们的思想和感受。营销人员，设计师和牙医等会用色彩心理学来影响顾客的一些决定，帮助患者平缓情绪。所以他们对色彩心里学深信不疑。所以swear by的意思为“深信不疑”。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“We should keep in mind, though, that only by considering cultural preferences are we able to fully understand the science of color. (不过，我们应该记住，只有考虑到文化偏好，我们才能完全理解色彩科学）”可知，作者用白色和黑色作为例子是为了提醒我们在学习色彩科学时应该考虑到文化因素。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. (如果色彩心理学的倡导者是正确的，那么我们的情绪和决定确实会受到周围色彩的影响)”可推知，色彩心理学会影响我们的情绪和决定。故选D。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do the colors that surround you influence how you feel? Can the colors on your walls and on your clothes affect your moods? Some researchers believe the answer is a decisive yes, while others aren't so sure.(你周围的颜色会影响你的感觉吗？你墙上和衣服上的颜色会影响你的心情吗？一些研究人员认为答案是决定性的肯定，而另一些人则不那么确定)”以及最后一段“If color psychology advocates are correct, then our emotions and decisions are truly influenced by the colors around us. With this knowledge, we can effectively harness (驾驭) color power to create positive school, work and home environments.(如果色彩心理学的倡导者是正确的，那么我们的情绪和决定确实会受到周围色彩的影响。有了这些知识，我们可以有效地利用色彩力量来创造积极的学校、工作和家庭环境)”可知，本篇文介绍了色彩心理学，揭示了色彩对于我们生活的潜在影响。所以“色彩对于我们生活的潜在影响”适合作本篇文章的标题。故选A。 Section C(每题2分，共8分) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Until we start to lose our balance, we barely notice that it’s there at all. “It starts for a lot of people with simple stuff,” says Dr Anna Lowe, an expert on healthy ageing and physical activity. “____47____ It’s easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to ageing — but it really is something you can affect.” The key, it is increasingly becoming clear, is to address the decline before it gets serious: and that can happen earlier than you might think. What is balance? Technically, it’s the complex interaction of several different systems in your body — from muscles, nerves, eyesight and the inner ear to the sensory system that lets you recognize where your body is touching the ground, along with movement receptors within your joints that tell you where your body is in space. ____48____ A lack of balance is, globally, associated with serious health problems. Earlier this year, the British Journal of Sports Medicine published the results of a decade-long study involving more than 1,700 middle-aged participants, which concluded that an inability to balance was associated with an almost twofold increase in risk of death. “____49____” agrees Lowe, an associate professor researching strength and balance in midlife. “Older women are far less active than older men, and general activity, just moving around and doing stuff, affects balance a lot. Single-legged movements, such as walking lunges, are a great test of dynamic (动态的) balance, but even bilateral movements, like squats (深蹲), can provide a challenge.” ____50____ Resistance exercise, whether that means lifting weights or hiking with a backpack, comes with a host of other proven health benefits, from improved bone density to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s. As Locker puts it: everyone’s told to save money for their retirement, and nobody’s taught to save their balance. But both are difficult to get back once they’re gone. A. Early interventions are key, so you’ve got to stay active. B. Perhaps surprisingly, those who deal with it have struggled to settle on a single definition. C. It’s not something we’re born with, but also it’s not something we learn, but an ability that we gain early and lose over time. D. For some people just try to build in an element of balance and muscle strengthening. E. Maybe you used to be able to quickly stand on one leg to put a shoe on, and you’ve stopped doing that at some point. F. Whatever activity you choose, the lesson is to work on your balance before you need to, not when it becomes an issue. 【答案】47. E 48. C 49. A 50. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了身体保持平衡的原理，及其锻炼的重要性。 【47题详解】 下文“It’s easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to ageing— but it really is something you can affect. (人们很容易忽视这些迹象，或者只是把它归结为年龄的增长——但这确实是你可以影响的事情。)”说明有一种迹象，某些事情随着年龄增长就不能做了。选项E“也许你过去可以很快地用一条腿站起来穿鞋，但你在某个时候停止了这样做。”描述了下文所说的迹象，独立穿鞋的动作随着年龄的变老自然就做不了了。故选E项。 【48题详解】 上文“What is balance? Technically, it’s the complex interaction of several different systems in your body — from muscles, nerves, eyesight and the inner ear to the sensory system that lets you recognize where your body is touching the ground, along with movement receptors within your joints that tell you where your body is in space. (什么是平衡？从技术上讲，这是你身体中几个不同系统的复杂相互作用——从肌肉、神经、视力和内耳到让你识别身体接触地面的感觉系统，以及关节内的运动感受器，它们告诉你身体在空间中的位置。)”说明平衡不是天生的，是身体几个不同系统的复杂相互作用而形成的感觉系统，选项C“它不是我们与生俱来的，也不是我们学到的，而是一种能力，我们在早期获得，随着时间的推移而失去。”进一步解释平衡的特点。故选C项。 【49题详解】 下文“Older women are far less active than older men, and general activity, just moving around and doing stuff, affects balance a lot. (老年女性远不如老年男性活跃，一般的活动，只是四处走动和做一些事情，会对平衡产生很大影响。)”说明应该保持活跃，老年后才能更好地保持平衡能力，选项A“早期干预是关键，所以你必须保持活跃。”建议早期干预，保持活跃。故选A项。 【50题详解】 下文“Resistance exercise, whether that means lifting weights or hiking with a backpack, comes with a host of other proven health benefits, from improved bone density to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s. (抗阻力运动，无论是举重还是背着背包徒步旅行，都有许多其他被证明的健康益处，从改善骨密度到降低患阿尔茨海默氏症的风险。)”说明运动是有许多健康益处的，选项F“无论你选择什么活动，这给我们的教训是，在你需要保持平衡之前，不要等到它成为问题的时候再去锻炼。”引领下文，建议趁早进行运动。故选F项。 Ⅳ. Summary Writing(10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. One essential factor is human relationships. People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. Even a simple smile can work wonders. In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates(not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins(feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. You’ll also find that you sleep better. Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Sustainable happiness may well be more spiritual than material. The cozy relationship, at home or in the workplace, often makes people feel good. Another element of happiness is staying healthy.

Translation (3+3+4+5分，共15分) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 52. 这项奖学金授予那些品学兼优的学生。(award) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】This scholarship is awarded to those students who have excellent character and academic performance. 【解析】 【详解】考查时态语态和定语从句。“奖学金”是“scholarship”，“授予”表达为“award”，这里奖学金是被授予，所以用被动语态“be +过去分词” ，句子陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语“This scholarship”是单数，be动词用is ，award的过去分词是awarded 。“那些品学兼优的学生”用“those students who have excellent character and academic performance”，who引导定语从句修饰students 。故译为This scholarship is awarded to those students who have excellent character and academic performance. 53. 尽管面对许多挫折，她百折不挠地追求成为医生的梦想。(despite)(汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Despite facing many setbacks, she persevered in pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词和时态。“尽管”用despite，是介词，后接名词、代词或动名词，“面对挫折”表达为face setbacks，这里用动名词facing 。“百折不挠地做某事”即persevere in doing sth.，句子描述过去发生的事，用一般过去时，persevere的过去式是persevered 。“追求梦想”是pursue one's dream，“成为医生”为 become a doctor” 。故译为Despite facing many setbacks, she persevered in pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. 54. 退休后，他们搬到了一个海边的安静小镇，过着安居乐业的生活。(contentment)(汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】After retirement, they moved to a quiet town by the sea, living a life with contentment. 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和非谓语动词。表示“……后”用after，后接名词“退休”retirement，作宾语，句子主语“他们”they，“搬到”move to，结合语境可知句子描述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，谓语用moved，“一个海边的安静小镇”a quiet town by the sea，作介词to的宾语，“过着安居乐业的生活”live a life with contentment，与逻辑主语they之间是主动关系，使用现在分词形式作状语。句首单词首字母大写。故翻译为After retirement, they moved to a quiet town by the sea, living a life with contentment. 55. 越来越多年轻人遭受着精神问题的困扰，这是由日益加增的生活压力造成的。（result）（汉译英） 【答案】More and more young people suffer from mental problems, which results from the increasing pressure in life. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语。结合句意表示“越来越多年轻人”短语为more and more young people；表示“遭受着精神问题的困扰”翻译为suffer from mental problems；后跟which引导的非限制性定语从句，表示“由日益加增的生活压力造成的”翻译为result from the increasing pressure in life，从句谓语用第三人称单数形式，句子用一般现在时。故翻译为More and more young people suffer from mental problems, which results from the increasing pressure in life. VI. Guided Writing (25分) 56. Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高三学生李华。近期，你校英语报就“社交媒体时代，你是否会在朋友圈屏蔽父母或老师(hide a Moments post from parents or teachers)?”这一话题征集观点。请你结合自身或身边同学例子，写一篇文章投稿，内容需包括： 1.描述你或他人的相关经历; 2.分析这一行为背后的原因： 3.谈谈你对此现象的看法。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In the age of social media, the question of whether to hide Moments posts from parents or teachers has become a common topic among students. I have a classmate, Tom, who once hid his Moments posts from his parents. He shared a series of pictures of a late-night party with friends. He thought his parents wouldn’t approve of these pictures. This behavior mainly stems from the generation gap. Parents and teachers, with their different life experiences and values, may have higher expectations and stricter rules. Students, on the other hand, long for freedom and self-expression. They worry that their actions might be misinterpreted or criticized, so they choose to hide certain posts to avoid potential conflicts. In my opinion, while it’s understandable that students want their privacy, completely hiding posts from parents and teachers isn't the best solution. Open communication is key. We should try to have honest conversations with them, sharing our thoughts and feelings. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。近期，考生所在校英语报就“社交媒体时代，你是否会在朋友圈屏蔽父母或老师”这一话题征集观点。请考生一篇文章投稿。 详解】1.词汇积累： 避免：avoid→evade 源于：stem from→originate from 完全地：completely→totally 选择：choose→select 2.句式拓展： 同义句 原句：He shared a series of pictures of a late-night party with friends.
