D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了图书馆的开放时间和图书馆规则，包括借书数量、还书时间、罚款规定以及图书馆内的一些行为规范等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“No food or soft drinks in the library. Students can only bring their own water bottles.”可知，学生可以带自己的水瓶进入图书馆。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Late returns will result in a fine, 1 dollar a day for each book.”可知，逾期还书将导致罚款，每本书每天罚款1美元。因此，如果Jane三本书逾期三天归还，她应该支付3本书×3天×1美元/天=9美元。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“The library has after-hours return service. Please leave the books in the blue box at the back of the library.”可知，图书馆有闭馆后还书服务，请把书放在图书馆后面的蓝色箱子里。因此，图书馆后面的蓝色箱子是用来放要还的书的。故选D。 (B) How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows from one container to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it moves a lever (控制杆) and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1,500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1936 the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s easy for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments. 24. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph? A. Rich. B. Usual. C. Strange. D. Not important. 26. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(①=para 1 ②=para 2,....) A. B. C. D. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of time. B. The history of digital clocks. C. The inventions of clocks. D. The development of timekeeping. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了从古至今计时方法的不断演变和进步。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。本文一共提到sun clock、sundial、water clocks、mechanical clock、quartz clock、digital clock共六种钟。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s easy for ordinary people to own a clock.”可知时钟的制造成本降低了，对于普通人来说，拥有一个时钟是很容易的，因此划线单词ordinary意思是“普通的”，与usual意思相近。故选B。 【26题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段引出时钟演变这一话题，第二三段具体描述了不同时期出现的时钟及优缺点，第四段是对时钟演变历史进行了评价。因此可知本文结构是总—分—总的结构。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了从古至今计时方法的不断演变和进步。故选D。 (C) People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves (声波) . Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify (识别，分辨) chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 28. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list. 29. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 30. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By listening to the chicken calls. B. By taking care of the chickens. C. By finding food for the chickens. D. By making the chickens happy. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas...It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”可知，空前提到牛、青蛙和熊猫，空后提到鸡，选项D “一项新的研究将鸡加入了这个名单” 符合语境，故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment.”可知，当鸡看到门后有食物时，它们似乎很高兴，并发出快速而响亮的声音，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The recordings were played to 194 volunteers.”可知，这些录音播放给194名志愿者听，所以志愿者们是通过听鸡叫来帮助这项研究，故选A。 【31题详解】 最佳标题题。本文介绍研究结果，表明人类可以通过听鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤，选项B “快乐的鸡，悲伤的鸡” 符合主题，故选B。 (D) Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem, or I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening. I read about a school that has changed the way it marks students’ exams. Students who don’t get the score they need to pass don’t see a big red F for fail on their exam papers. They see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or you haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. “Yet” is one small but very powerful word. 32. The effect of adding the word “yet” is ________. A. everything is impossible B. you can always succeed C. you are going to start to win D. you won’t feel upset about your failures 33. The example in Paragraph 2 is to ________. A. express a feeling B. describe a problem C. show the result D. support the topic 34. According to the passage, which one of the following has “a growth mindset”? A. Jack got an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy to tell his parents. B. David failed in a competition, but he stayed confident and kept trying. C. Jenny found it hard to work out the maths problem, so she gave it up. D. Emma was refused by school team. She didn’t want to have another try. 35. Where can you find this text? A. A storybook. B. An advertisement. C. A magazine. D. A menu. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“yet”这个词的力量以及“成长型思维”的概念，鼓励人们通过改变思维方式来面对挑战和失败。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.’ ‘I can’t get into the school team yet.’ Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible.”可知，加上“yet”后，不可能变为可能，因此人们不会因失败而感到沮丧，而是看到未来的可能性。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Students who don’t get the score they need to pass don’t see a big red F for fail on their exam papers. They see a ‘Not yet’ instead.”可知，考试不及格的学生不会看到红色的“F”，而是看到“尚未通过”，可推知，这个例子是为了支持文章主题——通过“yet”改变思维方式。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change.”可知，拥有成长型思维的人不会专注于失败，他们享受挑战并相信自己可以改变，所以David失败后仍保持自信并继续尝试，符合成长型思维。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文内容围绕心理学和成长型思维展开，语言风格和主题更适合杂志类文章。故选C。 Ⅲ.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者在Garfagnana的邻居Mario送来外观不佳的番茄和自酿葡萄酒，起初不以为然，品尝后发现其美味远超超市商品，感悟到不应以貌取物。 【41题详解】 句意：我们第一次住在那里的时候，邻居Mario过来给我们带了一盒西红柿和一瓶酒。 waited等待；met遇见；camped露营；stayed停留。根据“I bought a house in the Garfagnana, where we still go every summer”可知，此处指住在买的房子里。故选D。 【42题详解】 句意：但是当我们看着那些西红柿时，我们很不开心，因为它们太丑了：一点也不像你在超市里买到的那种好看的、圆圆的、有光泽的东西。 So所以；But但；Or或者；And和。前文说邻居带来东西，后文说看到西红柿不开心，前后是转折关系，用“But”连接。故选B。 【43题详解】 句意：但是当我们看着那些西红柿时，我们很不开心，因为它们太丑了：一点也不像你在超市里买到的那种好看的、圆圆的、有光泽的东西。 simple简单的；real真的；shiny有光泽的；fun有趣的。根据“nice, round,...things you get in a supermarket”可知，此处描述超市里西红柿的样子，“shiny”符合超市里西红柿有光泽的特点，故选C。 【44题详解】 句意：这些不可能是好的，我们想。 more更多；good好的；new新的；easy容易的。根据“we were unhappy because they were so ugly: not at all like the nice, round…And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label (标签) on it.”可知，此处是认为邻居送来的东西不好，“good”符合语境，故选B。 【45题详解】 句意：但是我们很感激他的好意，所以我们尝试了它们。 tried尝试；sold卖；returned返回；mixed混合。根据“Those tomatoes had…that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child…Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle…”可知，后文描述品尝体验，tried符合。故选A。 【46题详解】 句意：我们发现仅凭外表来判断你吃的东西是不明智的。 unnecessary不必要的；uncertain不确定的；unwise不明智的；unusual不寻常的。根据“Nowadays supermarket tomatoes…perfect but taste of water. Nobody’s going to have a happy memory of those. Mario’s wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle, but it was…”可知，后文描述西红柿和酒味道，并将其和超市里的东西进行对比，所以仅凭外表判断这些东西是不明智的，“unwise”符合语境，故选C。 【47题详解】 句意：那些西红柿的味道让我想起了我小时候叔叔常种的西红柿。 size尺寸；shape形状；color颜色；taste味道。根据“reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow”以及后文对超市西红柿味道的描述可知，此处指西红柿的味道，“taste”符合语境，故选D。 【48题详解】 句意：如今超市里的西红柿看起来很完美，但味道像水。 smell闻起来；look看起来；become变成；work工作。根据“perfect but taste of water”可知，此处指超市西红柿看起来完美，“look”符合语境，故选B。 【49题详解】 句意：Mario的酒可能很浑浊，而且是从一个旧瓶子里倒出来的，但它很完美。 perfect完美的；useful有用的；convenient方便的；familiar熟悉的。根据前文对马里奥酒的描述以及“but”可知，此处指酒的样子不好但味道完美，“perfect”符合语境，故选A。 【50题详解】 句意：在正确的时间吃正确的东西是很好的，当它们应季时，并且尽可能接近它们生长的地方。 finished完成；stored储存；found发现；grown生长。根据“as close as possible to where they were...”可知，此处指接近它们生长的地方，“grown”符合语境，故选D。 第二节 非选择题（共 45分） Ⅴ.Grammatical Filling（共10小题，每小题 2分，共20分） Did ancient people plant trees?

Reading Expression（共5小题，每题2分，共10分） Have you ever thought of yourself as the main character of a heroic adventure? It could be good for your health. Research suggests that imagining yourself on a hero’s journey could help you achieve a more meaningful life. You might be familiar with the hero’s journey. It’s a common storyline in books and movies. Mulan, Harry Potter, and Luke Skywalker, bravely facing their difficulties, all take this journey. The idea was first made popular by the mythologist (神话学者) Joseph Campbell. In 1949, he published The Hero with a Thousand Faces. The book follows the traditional structure of the hero’s journey. The hero goes on an adventure and wins his victory in a defining (起决定性作用的) victory. In a recent study, scientists at Boston College, in Massachusetts, found that seeing your life as a hero’s journey can benefit your mental health. It can boost your confidence, especially when you’re trying new experiences. Heroes grow up through failures and dangers. “That sets them off on a journey where they come across challenges and friends,” says Benjamin A. Rogers, an author of the study. “And they return home to benefit their community with what they’ve learned.” The study found that seeing your life as an adventure can raise happiness, increase satisfaction, and reduce negative feelings. It just takes some imagination. “The way people tell their life story shapes how meaningful their lives feel,” Rogers says. “You don’t have to live a super heroic life or be a person of adventure—actually anyone can rewrite their story as a hero’s journey.” 61. Considering yourself ________ a hero on the journey might help you live a ________ and meaningful life. 62. Heroes, such as Mulan, Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker, are always ________ when ________ their difficulties. 63. In 1949, Joseph Campbell’s work The Hero with a Thousand Faces came ________. The structure is ________ common that you must be familiar with it. 64. On the journey, heroes can meet ________ and friends. In the end, they get ________ home with honor. 65. Treating your life as an adventure is useful, ________ you needn’t be a superhero or go for adventures. ________ fact, anyone can change their story into a hero’s journey. 【答案】61. ①. as ②. healthy 62. ①. brave ②. facing 63. ①. out ②. so 64. ①. challenges ②. back 65. ①. but ②. In 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了将自己想象成英雄旅程中的主角对心理健康的积极影响，并引用神话学者约瑟夫·坎贝尔的理论和波士顿学院的研究加以佐证。 【61题详解】 根据“imagining yourself on a hero’s journey could help you achieve a more meaningful life”以及“seeing your life as a hero’s journey can benefit your mental health”可知，将自己视为英雄有助于过上健康且有意义的生活。故填as；healthy。 【62题详解】 根据“Mulan, Harry Potter, and Luke Skywalker, bravely facing their difficulties, all take this journey.”可知，英雄在面对困难时总是勇敢的。故填brave；facing。 【63题详解】 根据“In 1949, he published The Hero with a Thousand Faces.”以及“The book follows the traditional structure of the hero’s journey.”可知，1949年该书“出版”，come out“出版”符合；后文提到英雄旅程结构“common” (常见)，且“you must be familiar with it” (你一定很熟悉)，说明该结构非常普遍。故填out；so。 【64题详解】 根据“That sets them off on a journey where they come across challenges and friends”以及“And they return home to benefit their community with what they’ve learned.”可知，英雄会遇到挑战，最终光荣归来。故填challenges；back。 【65题详解】 根据“You don’t have to live a super heroic life or be a person of adventure—actually anyone can rewrite their story as a hero’s journey.”可知，你不必过着超级英雄的生活，也不必成为一个冒险的人——事实上，任何人都可以把自己的故事改写成英雄的旅程，前后为转折关系，且“事实上”用“In fact”。故填but；In。 VII.

A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time. About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows from one container to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it moves a lever (控制杆) and this shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time. In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries, it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1,500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1936 the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s easy for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second. There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments. 24. How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven. 25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph? A. Rich. B. Usual. C. Strange. D. Not important. 26. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(①=para 1 ②=para 2,....) A. B. C. D. 27. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of time. B. The history of digital clocks. C. The inventions of clocks. D. The development of timekeeping. (C) People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves (声波) . Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify (识别，分辨) chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 28. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A. Humans may not like animals. B. Scientists know nothing about it. C. Nobody knows why this happens. D. A new study adds chickens to the list. 29. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 30. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By listening to the chicken calls. B. By taking care of the chickens. C. By finding food for the chickens. D. By making the chickens happy. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers (D) Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem, or I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening. I read about a school that has changed the way it marks students’ exams Students who don’t get the score they need to pass don’t see a big red F for fail on their exam papers. They see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or you haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. “Yet” is one small but very powerful word. 32. The effect of adding the word “yet” is ________. A. everything is impossible B. you can always succeed C. you are going to start to win D. you won’t feel upset about your failures 33. The example in Paragraph 2 is to ________. A. express a feeling B. describe a problem C. show the result D. support the topic 34. According to the passage, which one of the following has “a growth mindset”? A. Jack got an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy to tell his parents. B. David failed in a competition, but he stayed confident and kept trying. C. Jenny found it hard to work out the maths problem, so she gave it up. D. Emma was refused by school team. She didn’t want to have another try. 35. Where can you find this text? A. A storybook. B. An advertisement. C. A magazine. D. A menu. Ⅲ.

The art spread to the rest of the world in the 14th century. In rural areas, paper cutting is traditionally a handicraft for women. ____38____ And brides (新娘) were often judged by their skills.

It could be good for your health. Research suggests that imagining yourself on a hero’s journey could help you achieve a more meaningful life. You might be familiar with the hero’s journey. It’s a common storyline in books and movies. Mulan, Harry Potter, and Luke Skywalker, bravely facing their difficulties, all take this journey.

It just takes some imagination. “The way people tell their life story shapes how meaningful their lives feel,” Rogers says. “You don’t have to live a super heroic life or be a person of adventure—actually anyone can rewrite their story as a hero’s journey.” 61.
