Here are the best book review sites to help you avoid buying books that you’ll regret reading. Goodreads Goodreads is the leading online community for book lovers. If you want some inspiration for which novel or biography to read next, this is the best book review site to visit. There are an endless number of user-generated reading lists to explore. Fantasy Book Review Fantasy Book Review should be high on the list for anyone who is a fan of fantasy works. The book review site publishes reviews for both children’s books and adults’ books.

Trusted experts from the American Library Association write all the book reviews. You can see parts of reviews for different books. However, to read them in full, you will need to subscribe.

However, there are several engaging YouTube channels that frequently offer opinions on books they’ve read. Although it’s easy to be attracted by an impressive book cover, it’s always best to have a quick look at the book reviews before actually buying a copy. This way, you can save your money and spend it on the books that you’ll be proud to display on your shelves for a long time. 1.

I, I had taken lessons at a Chinese-owned dance studio, and they began to hold auditions (试镜) for a special project—filming a music video! Those who passed the auditions would rehearse (排练) a well-designed dance and be filmed by a professional camera crew. I really like the song they chose—Kill This Love by Blackpink, a girl group from South Korea, so I auditioned. I was confident at first in the audition, but as I felt more pressure, I forgot a few moves. This definitely hurt my chances, so I became very on edge about the results. Additionally, because Blackpink is a four-member group, the studio was only looking for four people, and over 20 people had auditioned. I was very unsure if my performance would be good enough for a callback. Two weeks later when I had just about given up on hearing back, I got a text from the studio manager, saying, “Congratulations! You have passed the audition for Kill This Love.” I could barely contain my excitement, but wanting to seem mature, I replied to her in a calm and collected manner. We were scheduled for five rehearsals in total, and the filming date was set for the middle of April. What really stirred up my excitement was knowing that we would be filmed in public. I would also be dancing the part of Rose, my favorite Blackpink member. Our first rehearsal was on a Wednesday. The studio had rented the basement of a theater. There were, of course, difficulties. The dance routine included formations, so we had to learn the positions and transitions—things that we did not usually learn in our regular dance lessons. But it was just the four of us, and our teacher had enough time to work with each of us individually. I have been practicing hard for my dream. I hope everything goes well, and I look forward to the upcoming performance! 4. How did I feel about the results after forgetting a few moves? A. Confident. B. Ambitious. C. Confused. D. Nervous. 5. Why did I reply to the manager calmly when I got the exciting text? A. Because I intended to present a mature image to her. B. Because I was trained well enough to contain my feelings. C. Because I knew that I was good enough for such a callback. D. Because I had known the result before she informed me of it. 6. What was my first rehearsal in the basement like? A. Confusing but practical. B. Challenging but helpful. C. Difficult but entertaining. D. Regular but rewarding. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To express the burning passion for Blackpink. B. To show the difficulty in attending an audition. C. To share a personal experience in pursuit of a dream. D. To convey the excitement of engaging in a rehearsal. C Do you ever talk to yourself? Although it’s not always a conscious habit, most of us practice self-talk on a daily basis, as a way of guiding, motivating or supporting ourselves. Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. “There is solid evidence that self-talk strategies improve learning and performance,” according to sport psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, who studies the phenomenon of self-talk. He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self - talk mostly is related to past events or actions. Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent. Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective and even detrimental if it’s not done right. “It is a matter of personal preference or what works for each person; but generally, it is advised that self - talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid,” Hatzigeorgiadis says. So, for example, it would be better to say “stay cool” instead of “don’t get upset”. Although both instructions convey the same meaning, you should use positive words rather than negative ones. In this way you can avoid ill results. Another thing that can make a difference when practicing self-talk is the way you address yourself. According to research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. The researchers explain that when you think of yourself as another person, it allows you to give more objective and useful feedback. 8. What does the research say about self-talk? A. It is always an unconscious behavior. B. It is a daily habit for everyone. C. It may help strengthen memory. D. It can make people feel better. 9. What can be concluded from Hatzigeorgiadis’ explanation? A. Self-talk occurs in different situations. B. Self-talk usually makes one brave. C. Self-talk arises with various feelings. D. Self-talk only works when learning a new skill. 10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confusing. B. Useless. C. Harmful. D. Unbearable. 11 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Self-talk: a close relation to the past. B. Self-talk: a great way to avoid ill results. C. Self-talk: a useful tool to benefit our life. D. Self-talk: a matter of personal preference. D In recent years, much of my life, as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background spending. As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms, significant sums of my money tend to slip away each month without my ever thinking about it. Think of it as automated trade. Spending without the trouble of spending. Acquisition without action or thought. But while this flood of subscriptions was sold to me on the condition that it would make my life more trouble free, there was a certain shock I felt upon discovering how much I was spending without realizing each month ($179.45). You see, the thing about background spending is that it tends to happen, well, in the background without your full attention. And there lies the point. “Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,” these companies promise us. But by agreeing to this trade, we’ve become lazy passive consumers. And this laziness breeds more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular reviews of our subscription spending. We’re too lazy to even notice or cancel! I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smooth-brained subscriber. The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscriptions, according to a 2021 study of 2,500 by digital services firm West Monroe. Not a single person surveyed knew what his actual monthly spending was. It’s understandable why this model is so attractive to businesses. As companies questioned traditional advertising models, subscriptions offered the promise of “selling once and earning forever.” And while subscription services have been around for decades (think Wine of the Month Club), more customers have been willing to sign up thanks to the widespread availability of smartphones and the increasing ease of home delivery. While these subscriptions promise ease and happiness, not all of us are satisfied. Last year, the Kearney Consumer Institute found 40 percent of consumers believe they have too many subscriptions. Almost half of us also think we pay too much for streaming video-on-demand subscriptions. 12 What can we know about background spending in paragraph 2? A. Its purpose. B. Its feature. C. Its procedure. D. Its requirement. 13. What makes it possible for background spending to happen? A. Its attractive price. B. Some people’s poor habit. C. Its secure service. D. Some people’s addiction to it. 14. Why is the subscription model appealing to businesses? A. It offers good home delivery services. B. It is like traditional advertising models. C. It is popular among smartphone producers. D. It brings repeated profits through a single sale. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards background spending? A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____16____ Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____17____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____18____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. ____19____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____20____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience. A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write. B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed. D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted. E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. 第三部分：语言运用（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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Middle school is like a battlefield.

Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her classmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was laughed at by her classmates, who were always chanting (唱起……歌) “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面).” Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Hidden in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 杭州学军中学2025学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷 本试题卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题），满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题部分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题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.

This definitely hurt my chances, so I became very on edge about the results.(一开始试镜时我很自信，但随着压力的增加，我忘记了一些动作。这无疑损害了我的机会，所以我对结果非常紧张。)”可知，在忘记了一些动作后，作者对结果感到紧张，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“I could barely contain my excitement, but wanting to seem mature, I replied to her in a calm and collected manner.(我几乎无法抑制自己的激动，但为了显得成熟，我平静而镇定地回答了她。)”可知，当作者收到这条激动人心的短信时，作者平静地回复了经理，因为作者想给经理一个成熟的形象。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“There were, of course, difficulties. The dance routine included formations, so we had to learn the positions and transitions—things that we did not usually learn in our regular dance lessons. But it was just the four of us, and our teacher had enough time to work with each of us individually.(当然，也有困难。舞蹈套路包括阵型，所以我们必须学习姿势和转换——这些都是我们平时在舞蹈课上没有学过的。但是只有我们四个人，我们的老师有足够的时间和我们每个人单独学习。)”可知，作者在地下室的第一次排练具有挑战性但有帮助。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“For many pop idol fans, having the opportunity to participate in a music video for their favorite pop songs might be a dream come true.(对于许多流行偶像的粉丝来说，有机会参与他们最喜欢的流行歌曲的MV可能是梦想成真。)”和最后一段的“I have been practicing hard for my dream. I hope everything goes well, and I look forward to the upcoming performance!(我一直在努力练习我的梦想。希望一切顺利，期待即将到来的演出！)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者参与最喜欢的偶像的流行歌曲的MV试镜和排练的经历，因此目的是分享个人追求梦想的经历。故选C。 C Do you ever talk to yourself? Although it’s not always a conscious habit, most of us practice self-talk on a daily basis, as a way of guiding, motivating or supporting ourselves. Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. “There is solid evidence that self-talk strategies improve learning and performance,” according to sport psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, who studies the phenomenon of self-talk. He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self - talk mostly is related to past events or actions. Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent. Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective and even detrimental if it’s not done right. “It is a matter of personal preference or what works for each person; but generally, it is advised that self - talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid,” Hatzigeorgiadis says. So, for example, it would be better to say “stay cool” instead of “don’t get upset”. Although both instructions convey the same meaning, you should use positive words rather than negative ones. In this way you can avoid ill results. Another thing that can make a difference when practicing self-talk is the way you address yourself. According to research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. The researchers explain that when you think of yourself as another person, it allows you to give more objective and useful feedback. 8. What does the research say about self-talk? A. It is always an unconscious behavior. B. It is a daily habit for everyone. C. It may help strengthen memory. D. It can make people feel better. 9. What can be concluded from Hatzigeorgiadis’ explanation? A. Self-talk occurs in different situations. B. Self-talk usually makes one brave. C. Self-talk arises with various feelings. D. Self-talk only works when learning a new skill. 10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confusing. B. Useless. C. Harmful. D. Unbearable. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Self-talk: a close relation to the past. B. Self-talk: a great way to avoid ill results. C. Self-talk: a useful tool to benefit our life. D. Self-talk: a matter of personal preference. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自言自语带来的好处、产生的主要原因以及自言自语时需要注意的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings.(多年来，研究表明自我对话能够提高工作效率、增强动力和信心，甚至有助于管理情绪。)”可知，自言自语可以改善心情，让人感觉更好。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self - talk mostly is related to past events or actions.(当我们需要引导自己完成一项特定任务，比如学习一项新技能时，就会进行指导性自我对话。当我们想要为挑战性的事情做好准备时，通常会使用激励性自我对话；它有助于增强信心。评估性自我对话则大多与过去的事件或行为有关。)”可知，从Hatzigeorgiadis的解释中可以得出的结论是自我对话发生在不同情境中。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。第四段第一句“Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent.(Hatzigeorgiadis强调，若想让这类自我暗示发挥良好效用，它就必须简洁、精准，且最为关键的是，要始终如一。)”讲述了从自言自语中获益的方式，即让自言自语具备三个特点：short(简洁的) 、precise(精准的) 、consistent(始终如一的) 。再结合画线词所在句和第五段尾句“In this way you can avoid ill results.(这样你就可以避免坏结果。)”可知，画线词所在句表示如果自言自语的方式不对，自言自语可能无效甚至带来坏的影响。画线词detrimental与下文中的ill意思相近，意为“坏的，有害的”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings.(多年来，研究表明，自言自语可以提高工作效率、动力和信心，甚至有助于管理情绪。)”及全文可知，文章介绍了自言自语带来好处、产生的主要原因以及自言自语时需要注意的问题。文章的核心内容是如何从自言自语中受益，换言之：善加利用，自言自语是能让我们受益的好方法。所以“Self-talk: a useful tool to benefit our life(自言自语：有益于我们生活的有用工具)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。 D In recent years, much of my life, as a consumer has shifted to what I like to call background spending. As I’ve subscribed to more apps and streaming platforms, significant sums of my money tend to slip away each month without my ever thinking about it. Think of it as automated trade. Spending without the trouble of spending. Acquisition without action or thought. But while this flood of subscriptions was sold to me on the condition that it would make my life more trouble free, there was a certain shock I felt upon discovering how much I was spending without realizing each month ($179.45). You see, the thing about background spending is that it tends to happen, well, in the background without your full attention. And there lies the point. “Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,” these companies promise us. But by agreeing to this trade, we’ve become lazy passive consumers. And this laziness breeds more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular reviews of our subscription spending. We’re too lazy to even notice or cancel! I know it’s not just me who is suddenly living life as a smooth-brained subscriber. The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscriptions, according to a 2021 study of 2,500 by digital services firm West Monroe. Not a single person surveyed knew what his actual monthly spending was. It’s understandable why this model is so attractive to businesses. As companies questioned traditional advertising models, subscriptions offered the promise of “selling once and earning forever.” And while subscription services have been around for decades (think Wine of the Month Club), more customers have been willing to sign up thanks to the widespread availability of smartphones and the increasing ease of home delivery. While these subscriptions promise ease and happiness, not all of us are satisfied. Last year, the Kearney Consumer Institute found 40 percent of consumers believe they have too many subscriptions. Almost half of us also think we pay too much for streaming video-on-demand subscriptions. 12. What can we know about background spending in paragraph 2? A. Its purpose. B. Its feature. C. Its procedure. D. Its requirement. 13. What makes it possible for background spending to happen? A. Its attractive price. B. Some people’s poor habit. C. Its secure service. D. Some people’s addiction to it. 14. Why is the subscription model appealing to businesses? A. It offers good home delivery services. B. It is like traditional advertising models. C. It is popular among smartphone producers. D. It brings repeated profits through a single sale. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards background spending? A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的亲身经历，揭示了订阅服务可能导致消费者在不知不觉中花费巨额资金，同时也指出了这种消费模式的便利性和潜在问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Think of it as automated trade. Spending without the trouble of spending. Acquisition without action or thought. (可以把它想象成自动交易。花钱而不用花钱的麻烦。没有行动或思想的获得。)”可知，作者是在描述背景支出的特征，即它是一种自动化的、不需要思考或行动的消费。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Hand over your credit card details and let us take care of the rest,” these companies promise us. But by agreeing to this trade, we’ve become lazy passive consumers. And this laziness breeds more laziness because most of us can’t be bothered with conducting regular reviews of our subscription spending. We’re too lazy to even notice or cancel! (这些公司向我们承诺：“交出你的信用卡信息，让我们来处理剩下的事情。”但是通过同意这种交易，我们变成了懒惰的被动消费者。这种懒惰滋生了更多的懒惰，因为我们大多数人都懒得定期检查我们的订阅支出。我们懒得去注意或取消！)”以及第六段中“Not a single person surveyed knew what his actual monthly spending was. (没有一个接受调查的人知道自己每月的实际支出是多少)”可知，是有些人的坏习惯让后台支出成为可能。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s understandable why this model is so attractive to businesses. As companies questioned traditional advertising models, subscriptions offered the promise of “selling once and earning forever.” And while subscription services have been around for decades (think Wine of the Month Club), more customers have been willing to sign up thanks to the widespread availability of smartphones and the increasing ease of home delivery. (可以理解为什么这种模式对企业如此有吸引力。当公司质疑传统的广告模式时，订阅提供了“一次销售，永远盈利”的承诺。虽然订阅服务已经存在了几十年（想想月度葡萄酒俱乐部），但由于智能手机的普及和送货上门的日益便利，越来越多的客户愿意注册。)”可知，因为订阅模式通过一次销售带来了重复的利润，所以对企业有吸引力。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While these subscriptions promise ease and happiness, not all of us are satisfied. Last year, the Kearney Consumer Institute found 40 percent of consumers believe they have too many subscriptions. Almost half of us also think we pay too much for streaming video-on-demand subscriptions. (虽然这些订阅承诺了安逸和快乐，但并非所有人都满意。去年，科尔尼消费者研究所发现，40%的消费者认为他们的订阅量太多。近一半的人还认为，我们为流媒体视频点播订阅支付了太多费用。)”可知，作者对后台支出持批评态度，认为消费者为此付出了太多，而收效甚微。故选C项。 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____16____ Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____17____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it. Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____18____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. ____19____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time. There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____20____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience. A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write. B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed. D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted. E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过讲述孩子们通过给圣诞老人写信暗示得到自己心仪的礼物，从而论证观点：人们写作都是带有某种目的的。 【16题详解】 根据空前“As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. (随着孩子们逐渐长大，他们会给圣诞老人一些提示，告诉他去哪里买礼物。)”可知，孩子们给圣诞老人提示去哪买礼物。结合选项可知，D项“As a result, each year they received something they wanted. (结果，他们每年都会收到他们想要东西。)”为孩子们提示的结果：收到心仪的礼物。前后为明显的因果关系。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times t may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. (有时我们的目的是为了获得东西，有时可能是为了娱乐、告知或说服。)”可知，我们写作都是带着目的的。结合选项B“But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be. (但它总是有目的的——或者至少应该是这样。)”可知，前后语意一致，说明写作是带有目的的。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. (当孩子们为真正的读者和真正的目的写作时，他们就能学会相应地选择用词。)”以及空后“You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect. (你写“亲爱的圣诞老人”是因为你不认识他，你想表达对他的尊重。)”可知，空后句和空前句之间是“理论——实践”的关系，由此可推知，空处也应为具体的实践。结合选项E“You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them. (你写“嗨，奶奶和爸爸”，因为你和他们很亲近。)”可知，符合这一逻辑。而且和空后结构一致。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据空后“Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. (在玩电子游戏时发短信、在线消息、实时聊天都意味着他们在不断地产生书面信息。 )”可知，科技的发展让人们的写作变得更普遍。结合选项F“As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have. (随着科技的发展，年轻人写的东西比以前更多了。)”可知，前后语意一致，符合语境。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. (这种写作方式并没有错。它迎合了观众和目的，完成了任务。)”可知，作者在评价这种科技影响下的写作方式。结合选项G“But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems. (但如果这是年轻人唯一的写作方式，那就会造成问题。)”可知，前后语意一致，从正反两方面评价科技带来的写作。故选G项。 第三部分：语言运用（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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Middle school is like a battlefield.

Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her classmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was laughed at by her classmates, who were always chanting (唱起……歌) “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面).” Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Hidden in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. She ducked her head with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s high time to do something for a change.” Catherine thought to herself. Having made up her mind, she urged the rest cool kids to make peace with Landy. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?” But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. “Landy, sorry about the spaghetti thing. I should have realized it earlier. Can you forgive us?” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also learned that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was. 【解析】 【导语】本文以班里同学关系为线索展开，讲述了班里最酷的孩子Catherine受到同学众星捧月般的欢迎。而她的同桌Landy却受到冷落，因为她个头最高，同学们给她起了侮辱性的外号“意大利面条”。Catherine在祖父的农场发现一只被其它的鸡欺负的可怜的小鸡，深感同情，从而联想到Landy，意识到大家不应该欺负她，Catherine回到学校后，号召大家团结Landy的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner.(然后Catherine发现Landy独自坐在角落里。)”可知，第一段描写Catherine发现Landy被冷落的样子而产生的联想，Catherine准备道歉，引起其他同学的惊讶或不满。 ②由第二段首句内容“But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. (Catherine不顾他们说什么径直朝Landy走去。)”可知，第二段描写Catherine主动找Landy道歉，Landy和其他同学深受感动。 2. 续写线索：Catherine看到孤独呆在角落里的Landy——Catherine想到了“受欺凌”的小鸡——Catherine想要改变——Catherine希望大家向Landy道歉——Catherine独自走向Landy并道歉——Landy原谅，彼此拥抱——大家和平相处 3. 词汇激活行为类 ①低下头：duck one’s head/ lower one’s head/ hang one’s head ②使某人突然想到：hit/occur/be stuck ③嘲笑：tease/laugh at/make fun of 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/amazed/surprised ②疯狂的：crazy/mad 【点睛】[高分句型1]Having made up her mind, she urged the rest cool kids to make peace with Landy.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2].Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti?
