We will compare some of the top online advertising platforms and help you determine which one is right for you. Google Ads: The Powerhouse of Online Advertising When it comes to online advertising, Google Ads is undoubtedly the most powerful and widely used platform with its mighty targeting options. Businesses can target specific keywords, demographics (人口统计), locations, and even custom audiences based on their website visitors or customer lists. This level of precision ensures precise ads reaching. Facebook Ads: Targeting Your Audience with Accuracy Facebook Ads offers businesses various ad formats such as image ads video ads, audio-visual ads, and more to engage with their target audience effectively. One significant advantage Facebook Ads have over other platforms is its advanced targeting abilities. With Facebook’s large user data, businesses can target their ads based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and even life events. This level of accuracy allows you to tailor your ads to specific audience divisions and increase the chances of transformation. LinkedIn Ads: Connecting with Professionals If your business operates in the B2B space or targets professionals and decision-makers, LinkedIn Ads is an excellent platform to consider. One of the key advantages of using LinkedIn Ads is its professional targeting options, including job titles, industries, company size, and even specific companies. This high level of precision ensures that your ads are viewed by related professionals who are more likely to be interested in your products or services. YouTube Ads: Engaging Your Audience through Video Video advertising has gained significant popularity in recent years due to its ability to draw users’ attention effectively. One major advantage of YouTube Ads is its widespread reach.

B Mr Dan Marcanruono, known as Mr Marc, teaches philosophy and moral thinking at a high school. Before becoming an educator, Mr Marc worked in healthcare consulting, drove a delivery truck for a laundry company and worked temporarily in business development. Teaching wasn’t something he had seriously considered until he joined the Master of Fine Arts program in creative writing at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. As part of his scholarship, he was required to teach courses in creative writing to college students. “I don’t think I would have gotten into teaching if I hadn’t gone to that school.” he said. From his teaching experiences, Mr Marc quickly realized that teaching requires more than just knowing the subject. One moment that reshaped his view of teaching occurred during his first year when a student lost his father. The experience made him realize how essential it is to create an environment that assists students facing personal challenges. When transitioning from teaching college to high school, Mr Marc admitted that he struggled with constantly having to adapt and come up with new ideas. “Getting accustomed to the workload and curriculum when it’s all so new to me has been one of the biggest challenges so far,” he explained. Mr Marc believes authority doesn’t come from simply having a title. “There’s a lot I can be doing to make students feel confident and capable in the classroom,” he said. By encouraging a sense of teamwork and mutual respect, he aims to create an environment where students feel valued. “I try to get to know my students and then take time during class to talk to them individually,” he added. This approach helps students feel noticed. “My ultimate goal as a teacher is to help students start to question the things they take for granted or the things they just assume are true about the world,” said Mr Marc, who describes his teaching journey as a blessing. He acknowledges that his path to teaching was unexpected, but he’s grateful for the experiences he has come across. 4. What can we learn about Mr Marc before he became a teacher? A. He worked in various fields. B. He specialized in creative writing. C. He taught at a university full-time. D. He had always dreamed of being a teacher. 5. What made Mr Marc change his view on teaching? A. His scholarship requirement. B. A student’s personal tragedy. C His Master’s program in creative writing. D. The difference between college and high school teaching. 6. Which of the following is a challenge Mr Marc faced when teaching high school? A. Building authority among students. B. Helping students facing personal challenges. C. Adapting to the new workload and curriculum. D. Making students feel valued in class. 7. What is Mr Marc’s ultimate goal as a teacher? A. To help students develop critical thinking. B. To make students feel confident in class. C. To encourage teamwork among students. D. To get to know each student individually. C Perfume (香味；香水) has held a special place in human history. The traditional making process involves collecting raw materials, producing oils, mixing, aging and quality control. For centuries, perfumers have merely relied on their own senses. But now modern-day perfumers are beginning to look beyond their noses. They are, instead, turning to neurotechnology (神经技术). Perfume now can be designed to stimulate emotional responses using neuroscents (神经气味) shown by biometric measures — the use of biological data to analyze human responses — to help inspire different positive feelings such as calm, joy or sleepiness. Neurotechnology can also help perfumers analyze the chemical composition of these neuroscents and find new combinations of raw materials that can produce similar or enhanced effects. Researcher Hugo Ferreira is trying to build a database of neuroscents. “With sight and hearing, you can imagine the face of a loved one or the favourite tune. It’s hard to imagine a smell though it can stimulate a series of emotions and memories.” Ferreira explains this is due to the structure of the olfactory (嗅觉的) system. Messages from scent receptors are sent through the olfactory bulb to different brain areas that control everything from memory or thirst to stress reactions. Olfaction is the most diverse sense with many different receptors. It’s estimated that there are about 400 different olfactory receptor gene families. Among other things these various connections may explain how we can “smell fear, or victory.” L’Oréal, a French multinational personal care company, has partnered with neurotechnology company Emotiv to create a scent choice “experience”. During 2023, shoppers at certain stores used a device to discover which scents appealed to them. Results so far show that 95% of customers who used the device found the right perfume. Another perfume from Givenchy, a French luxury fashion and perfume house, has been a bestseller for years, which includes a special substance chosen after biometric research. However, perfume writer Katie Puckrik says she’d like to “design her own perfume”. “Leave the magic to the artists. Why do we need a computer to tell us what our nose already knows? Finding a new favorite scent by chance is a rare moment of grace we should allow ourselves,” she says. 8. How can neurotechnology function in the perfume-making process? A. By distinguishing one scent from the other. B. By exploring the best way to obtain special oil. C. By finding the scents most appealing to people. D. By offering perfumers information of materials. 9. What does Ferreira want to indicate in paragraph 3? A. The close connection among our senses. B. The great complexity of the olfactory system. C. The relationship between emotion and memory. D. The significance of having a good imagination. 10. Why are the perfume brands mentioned in the text? A. To show applications of neurotechnology. B. To collect more data for biometric research. C. To illustrate the fierce competition between them. D. To stress their dominance in the perfume industry. 11. What is Katie Puckrik’s attitude towards the new technology? A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Negative. D A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections, especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated, intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation (发炎), such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold, caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. “We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” This study is the first to model repeated, intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. “Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times, so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising,” Engler-Chiurazzi said. “The effects were subtle, but that’s why I find these results meaningful: in a human, cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain.” The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition, she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. “The biggest takeaway from this research, in our opinion, is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible,” she said. 12. The researchers conduct the study in order to_________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings. B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition. C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function. D. show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable. 13. What can we learn about the study? A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 14. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. relieve B. strengthen C. promote D. emphasize 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. 第二节 (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。选项中有两项为多全选项。 The student syndrome (综合症) is a phenomenon where a large number of students put off doing things until right before the deadline (最后期限). ____16____ Since it involves unnecessary delay, it usually leads to negative results for those who display it. They will feel stressed and overwhelmed, and the task seems to be never finished. To avoid the student syndrome, you should figure out what’s causing you to delay in the first place,and then use some techniques. ____17____ Break your tasks into small and manageable steps. For example, if you need to write an article, you can start with small steps, such as figuring out the title, creating a rough description, and finding five appropriate academic sources. Keep it in mind that if the project in question is large, then you generally shouldn’t worry about figuring out all the steps to it from the very beginning. ____18____ Then find new steps as you make progress along the way. This helps you avoid feeling upset and getting stuck. ____19____ For example, if you have a single deadline for completing a large research paper, set additional deadlines along the way for completing specific parts of it. These additional deadlines to be met will make the very large research paper more manageable and less frightening. Find your productivity cycles. People’s ability to complete certain tasks is different based on a great many factors such as the time of day. For example, it may be the case that you’re best able to concentrate on difficult tasks early in the morning, before you’ve started dealing with emails or minor administrative aspects of your job. ____20____ Follow these techniques and you are unlikely to wait until the last minute. A. Establish specific goals for yourself. B. Set intermediate (中间的) deadlines for yourself. C They can help you take action in a timely manner. D. This phenomenon can be considered to be a form of delay. E. You should take this into account when scheduling your work. F. Instead, start by finding the first few steps that you need to take. G. You should change your environment to make it easier for yourself to get started. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I scan the water in Australia’s Kakadu National Park, in search of an ancient ___21___: a saltwater crocodile (鳄鱼).

You are not alone. Part of the problem ____36____ (cause) by the diverse origins of English words. German, Latin, French and Greek are all common sources, with each following a different set of rules for spelling. In fact, even within any one of these languages, it is impossible to guarantee ____37____ (consistent). Some English learners know that ____38____ (memorize) the Latin roots of English words is a great way to expand their vocabulary, but most Latin-rooted words entered English from French after the 11th century.

They say that the spelling system we use today leaves plenty of keys to _____45_____ (lock) the history of the language, helping readers understand the origins of words. 第四部分 写作 (共两节，总分40分) 第一节 应用文 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，学生会主席。你校学生会邀请美国外教Nancy参加即将举办的文化节，并做一场关于中美文化差异的讲座。请给她写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 邀请出席； 2. 时间地点； 3. 讲座内容（美国的文化、习俗等）。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Nancy, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写 (满分25分) 47. The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Bernard — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara, “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John, “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80字左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mrs. Meredith heard of the idea, she thought it was a good one, too.

Needless to say, they were deeply moved, especially Bernard who finally found a way to make money for his family. A few days later, the machine was delivered to Mrs. Meredith’s doorstep. And it wasn’t long before they got the hang of using the machine to make popcorn. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题；每题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The traditional making process involves collecting raw materials, producing oils, mixing, aging and quality control. For centuries, perfumers have merely relied on their own senses. But now modern-day perfumers are beginning to look beyond their noses. They are, instead, turning to neurotechnology (神经技术). Perfume now can be designed to stimulate emotional responses using neuroscents (神经气味) shown by biometric measures — the use of biological data to analyze human responses — to help inspire different positive feelings such as calm, joy or sleepiness. Neurotechnology can also help perfumers analyze the chemical composition of these neuroscents and find new combinations of raw materials that can produce similar or enhanced effects. Researcher Hugo Ferreira is trying to build a database of neuroscents. “With sight and hearing, you can imagine the face of a loved one or the favourite tune. It’s hard to imagine a smell though it can stimulate a series of emotions and memories.” Ferreira explains this is due to the structure of the olfactory (嗅觉的) system. Messages from scent receptors are sent through the olfactory bulb to different brain areas that control everything from memory or thirst to stress reactions. Olfaction is the most diverse sense with many different receptors. It’s estimated that there are about 400 different olfactory receptor gene families. Among other things these various connections may explain how we can “smell fear, or victory.” L’Oréal, a French multinational personal care company, has partnered with neurotechnology company Emotiv to create a scent choice “experience”. During 2023, shoppers at certain stores used a device to discover which scents appealed to them. Results so far show that 95% of customers who used the device found the right perfume. Another perfume from Givenchy, a French luxury fashion and perfume house, has been a bestseller for years, which includes a special substance chosen after biometric research. However, perfume writer Katie Puckrik says she’d like to “design her own perfume”. “Leave the magic to the artists. Why do we need a computer to tell us what our nose already knows? Finding a new favorite scent by chance is a rare moment of grace we should allow ourselves,” she says. 8. How can neurotechnology function in the perfume-making process? A. By distinguishing one scent from the other. B. By exploring the best way to obtain special oil. C. By finding the scents most appealing to people. D. By offering perfumers information of materials. 9. What does Ferreira want to indicate in paragraph 3? A. The close connection among our senses. B. The great complexity of the olfactory system. C. The relationship between emotion and memory. D. The significance of having a good imagination. 10. Why are the perfume brands mentioned in the text? A. To show applications of neurotechnology. B. To collect more data for biometric research. C. To illustrate the fierce competition between them. D. To stress their dominance in the perfume industry. 11. What is Katie Puckrik’s attitude towards the new technology? A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Negative. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种通过寻找最吸引人的气味在香水制作过程中发挥作用的神经技术。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“ But now modern-day perfumers are beginning to look beyond their noses. They are, instead, turning to neurotechnology ( 神经技术 ).(但现在，现代调香师开始把目光投向鼻子之外。相反，他们转向了神经技术。)”和第二段“Perfume now can be designed to stimulate emotional responses using neuroscents (神经气味) shown by biometric measures — the use of biological data to analyze human responses — to help inspire different positive feelings such as calm, joy or sleepiness. Neurotechnology can also help perfumers analyze the chemical composition of these neuroscents and find new combinations of raw materials that can produce similar or enhanced effects. (香水现在可以被设计成使用生物特征测量显示的神经官能症来刺激情绪反应，即使用生物数据来分析人类反应，以帮助激发不同的积极情绪，如平静、快乐或嗜睡。神经技术还可以帮助调香师分析这些神经官能症的化学成分，并找到可以产生类似或增强效果的原材料的新组合。)”可知，神经技术通过寻找最吸引人的气味在香水制作过程中发挥作用。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Ferreira所说“With sight and hearing, you can imagine the face of a loved one or the favourite tune. It’s hard to imagine a smell though it can stimulate a series of emotions and memories. (有了视觉和听觉，你可以想象所爱之人的脸或最喜欢的曲调。很难想象一种气味，尽管它能激发一系列的情绪和记忆。)”以及第四段中“Ferreira explains this is due to the structure of the olfactory (嗅觉的) system.( Ferreira解释说，这是由于嗅觉系统的结构。)”等内容可知，Ferreira想在第三段说明嗅觉系统的复杂性。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“L’Oréal, a French multinational personal care company, has partnered with neurotechnology company Emotiv to create a scent choice “experience”. During 2023, shoppers at certain stores used a device to discover which scents appealed to them. Results so far show that 95% of customers who used the device found the right perfume. Another perfume from Givenchy, a French luxury fashion and perfume house, has been a bestseller for years, which includes a special substance chosen after biometric research. (法国跨国个人护理公司欧莱雅与神经技术公司Emotiv合作，创造了一种气味选择‘体验’。2023年，某些商店的购物者使用一种设备来发现哪些气味吸引了他们。到目前为止的结果显示，使用该设备的客户中有95%找到了合适的香水。法国奢侈时尚和香水品牌纪梵希的另一款香水多年来一直是畅销品，其中包括一种经过生物识别研究选择的特殊物质。)”可知，提到了香水品牌是为了展示神经技术的应用。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Katie Puckrik所说“Leave the magic to the artists. Why do we need a computer to tell us what our nose already knows? Finding a new favorite scent by chance is a rare moment of grace we should allow ourselves.(把神奇留给艺术家吧。为什么我们需要电脑来告诉我们鼻子已经知道的东西？偶然发现一种新的喜欢的气味是我们应该允许自己享受的难得的优雅时刻。)”可知，Katie Puckrik对这项新技术的态度是消极的。故选D项。 D A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections, especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated, intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation (发炎), such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold, caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. “We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” This study is the first to model repeated, intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. “Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times, so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising,” Engler-Chiurazzi said. “The effects were subtle, but that’s why I find these results meaningful: in a human, cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain.” The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition, she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. “The biggest takeaway from this research, in our opinion, is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible,” she said. 12. The researchers conduct the study in order to_________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings. B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition. C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function. D. show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable. 13. What can we learn about the study? A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 14. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. relieve B. strengthen C. promote D. emphasize 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。 杜兰大学研究发现，频繁生病可能加速大脑老化，并增加患痴呆或认知衰退的风险，以小鼠实验佐证，还提及研究意义与后续方向，强调保持健康防感染的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” (该研究的主要作者伊丽莎白・恩格勒 - 基乌拉齐博士表示：“我们感兴趣的是，感染经历的差异是否能至少在一定程度上解释我们在人群中观察到的痴呆症发病率差异。我们研究的小鼠是接近中年的健康成年鼠，但当它们接触间歇性炎症时，记忆力会下降，神经元功能也会变差。”)”可知，研究人员开展研究是为了确认反复炎症是否会导致认知障碍。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. (人类经历感染和炎症的频率通常远高于实验室小鼠。但鉴于仅经过五次间歇性炎症处理后，小鼠就出现了损伤，人类的认知变化可能会更严重)”可推断，由于人类生病更频繁，因此会因频繁生病遭受更严重的认知衰退。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第七段中“Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. (恩格勒 - 基乌拉齐表示，未来需要开展更多研究，以了解感染为何会影响大脑，以及如何mitigate这些影响)”可知，“those effects”指“感染对大脑的不良影响”，结合“了解原因”和科研逻辑，后续应是研究“减轻”影响的方法，故mitigate意为“减轻”，与A项“relieve(缓解，减轻)”语义一致。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. ( 杜兰大学研究发现，频繁生病可能加速大脑老化，并增加患痴呆或认知衰退的风险)”以及后文围绕该研究的对象（小鼠）、过程、结果及启示展开可知，文章主要讲频繁生病与痴呆症的关联。故选D项。 第二节 (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。选项中有两项为多全选项。 The student syndrome (综合症) is a phenomenon where a large number of students put off doing things until right before the deadline (最后期限). ____16____ Since it involves unnecessary delay, it usually leads to negative results for those who display it. They will feel stressed and overwhelmed, and the task seems to be never finished. To avoid the student syndrome, you should figure out what’s causing you to delay in the first place,and then use some techniques. ____17____ Break your tasks into small and manageable steps. For example, if you need to write an article, you can start with small steps, such as figuring out the title, creating a rough description, and finding five appropriate academic sources. Keep it in mind that if the project in question is large, then you generally shouldn’t worry about figuring out all the steps to it from the very beginning. ____18____ Then find new steps as you make progress along the way. This helps you avoid feeling upset and getting stuck. ____19____ For example, if you have a single deadline for completing a large research paper, set additional deadlines along the way for completing specific parts of it. These additional deadlines to be met will make the very large research paper more manageable and less frightening. Find your productivity cycles. People’s ability to complete certain tasks is different based on a great many factors such as the time of day. For example, it may be the case that you’re best able to concentrate on difficult tasks early in the morning, before you’ve started dealing with emails or minor administrative aspects of your job. ____20____ Follow these techniques and you are unlikely to wait until the last minute. A. Establish specific goals for yourself. B. Set intermediate (中间的) deadlines for yourself. C. They can help you take action in a timely manner. D. This phenomenon can be considered to be a form of delay. E. You should take this into account when scheduling your work. F. Instead, start by finding the first few steps that you need to take. G. You should change your environment to make it easier for yourself to get started. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. B 20.

You are not alone. Part of the problem ____36____ (cause) by the diverse origins of English words. German, Latin, French and Greek are all common sources, with each following a different set of rules for spelling. In fact, even within any one of these languages, it is impossible to guarantee ____37____ (consistent). Some English learners know that ____38____ (memorize) the Latin roots of English words is a great way to expand their vocabulary, but most Latin-rooted words entered English from French after the 11th century. By the time English was again allowed at the court, it was a French-influenced language (Middle English). There was actually no set form of spelling. In Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, ____39____ same word can be found spelled differently in different places. This was not his fault. He was ____40____ (simple) following the rules of spelling for his time. Standardization didn’t come about ____41____ the 15th century. The use of the printing press and mass distribution of books froze the spelling of words. The very spelling system we use today is based on the pronunciation of that time. Between 1450 and 1750, English pronunciation went through ____42____ experts call the Great Vowel Shift. ____43____ the nature of how English words are pronounced has evolved, the spelling system has remained largely unchanged. Supporters of English spelling reform argue that replacing words with more phonetically accurate letter ____44____ (combine) will promote literacy. Others don’t think so. They say that the spelling system we use today leaves plenty of keys to _____45_____ (lock) the history of the language, helping readers understand the origins of words. 【答案】36. is caused 37. consistency 38. memorizing 39. the 40. simply 41. until 42. what 43. Although##Though##While 44. combinations 45. unlocking 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英语单词拼写难源于其多样词源及历史演变—— 曾无统一拼写，15 世纪印刷术固定拼写后，发音虽变拼写未改，拼写改革支持者与反对者也各有理由。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：这个问题部分是由英语单词的不同来源造成的。分析句子可知，主语“Part of the problem”与“cause”（导致）是被动关系（问题被多种起源导致），且描述客观事实，用一般现在时。“part of + 单数名词” 作主语，谓语动词用单数，故为 “is caused”。故填is caused。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：事实上，即使在这些语言中的任何一种中，也不可能保证一致性。分析句子可知，此处为形容词变名词作“guarantee”（保证）的宾语。“consistent”（形容词，一致的）的名词形式为“consistency”（一致性）。故填consistency。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一些英语学习者知道，记忆英语单词的拉丁词根是扩大词汇量的好方法，但大多数拉丁词根的单词是在11世纪以后从法语传入英语的。分析句子可知，此处为动名词短语作主语，空格后为谓语动词 “is”，需用名词性成分作主语，“memorize the Latin roots”的动名词形式为“memorizing”。故填memorizing。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》中，同一个单词在不同的地方拼写不同。定冠词“the”构成“the same + 名词”（同一个……），是固定搭配。故填the。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：他只是遵循当时的拼写规则。分析句子可知，此处为形容词变副词修饰谓语动词“following”。“simple”（形容词，简单的）的副词形式为“simply”（仅仅，只是）。故填simply。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：标准化直到15世纪才出现。分析句子可知，此处为“not...until...”（直到…… 才……），是固定连词句型，满足句意要求。故填until。 【42题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：在1450年到1750年之间，英语发音经历了专家所说的“元音大迁移”。分析句子可知，空格引导宾语从句，作“through”的宾语，从句中“call”缺少宾语（专家称之为“元音大迁移”的事物），故用连接代词“what”引导。故填what。 【43题详解】 考查让步状语从句。句意：尽管英语单词的发音方式发生了变化，但拼写系统却基本没有改变。分析句子可知，前文“发音方式已演变”与后文“拼写系统基本未变”形成转折让步关系，故用连词“While/Though/Although”（尽管）引导让步状语从句。故填Although/Though/While。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：英语拼写改革的支持者认为，用发音更准确的字母组合代替单词将提高读写能力。分析句子可知，此处为名词作介词with的宾语成分，“combine”（动词，组合）的名词形式为“combination”（组合），由“more”（更多的）修饰，需用复数 “combinations”。故填combinations。 【45题详解】 考查动名词。句意：他们说，我们今天使用的拼写系统为打开语言的历史留下了很多钥匙，帮助读者理解单词的起源。分析句子可知，此处为动名词作介词“to”的宾语。“the key to doing sth.”（做某事的关键）是固定搭配，“to”为介词，后接动名词。故填unlocking。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，总分40分) 第一节 应用文 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，学生会主席。你校学生会邀请美国外教Nancy参加即将举办的文化节，并做一场关于中美文化差异的讲座。请给她写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 邀请出席； 2. 时间地点； 3. 讲座内容（美国的文化、习俗等）。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Nancy, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】范文： Dear Nancy, I’m Li Hua.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Bernard — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara, “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John, “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80字左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mrs. Meredith heard of the idea, she thought it was a good one, too. Then Mrs. Meredith searched the internet and ordered a household popcorn machine. After that, Mrs. Meredith, together with her three children, paid another visit to the family and told them about the popcorn plan. Needless to say, they were deeply moved, especially Bernard who finally found a way to make money for his family. A few days later, the machine was delivered to Mrs. Meredith’s doorstep. And it wasn’t long before they got the hang of using the machine to make popcorn. With everything ready Bernard started out on his new business. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Although it was a hard time and things were tight for everybody, Bernard’s business worked out quite well. He carried the popcorn on his small bike, going from door to door to sell it. People were surprised to see such a little, poorly-dressed boy selling popcorn at their doors, but eventually almost all of them would buy a bag or two. It is love that makes the world go round and Bernard felt it deep in his little heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以帮助男孩Bernard的家庭为线索展开，讲述了在经济困难时期，善良的Meredith太太很想帮助男孩Bernard一家，她的三个孩子John、Harry和Clara想出制作爆米花的创意，帮助Bernard开创小生意，最终通过爆米花销售让Bernard一家获得收入，让他感受到整个社区的爱心支持。 【详解】1. 段落续写： 由第二段首句内容“一切准备就绪后，Bernard开始了他的新生意。”可知，第二段可描写Bernard挨家挨户地售卖自己的爆米花，社区里的人纷纷购买以帮助他，Bernard感受到来自社区的爱。 2. 续写线索：Bernard开始做生意——Bernard售卖爆米花——人们购买爆米花——Bernard感受到爱 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①售卖：sell/vend ②看到：see/spot/notice ③购买：buy/purchase ④感受到：feel/perceive/sense 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although it was a hard time and things were tight for everybody, Bernard’s business worked out quite well.
