I’ve encouraged her to do her own video blog (vlog), too, because she is always watching them, but she hasn’t been interested in the spotlight. Now that enough time has passed, she is ready to go for it! Angelika is a great cook, so she is going to do a cooking show. I am just thrilled that she has found a passion to pursue in a way that works for her. I’m smart enough to step back and let her go at her own pace. I know that being there for emotional support or however she needs me is important. Now that my wife will have a studio worthy of her talents and personality, she will only make the kitchen look better. Part of me hopes that I will spend the rest of my life watching and tasting her creations. When you start to express your creative drive, it can be a wonderful ride. When the love of your life takes the ride with you, and starts to drive, it’s pretty cool way to travel through life. I am at my best when being creative, whether in front of a keyboard or a live audience. I have always encouraged creative answers to life. There is always more than one right way to do something. Yes, public attention in our social media world has become a marker of success, but it means more when you are sending a positive message. Helping people enjoy their lives a little more is a big deal. This project will not just make her happy but make us closer. I am aware that this is her project, not mine. I will answer any questions she asks but be careful about offering unwanted advice. What she doesn't know she will learn. You never want to take that process away from anyone. 4 Why didn’t Angelika try vlogging before? A. She was too busy to do it. B. She had no such talent or skill. C. She lacked self-confidence. D. She didn’t enjoy being on camera. 5. What’s the author’s attitude to Angelika’s decision? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned. 6. What does the author think is important in doing a vlog? A. Delivering positive messages with creativity. B. Showing how successful you are. C. Experiencing the ups and downs it brings. D. Interacting with a live audience. 7. How will the author help his wife? A. He will prepare ingredients. B. He will provide emotional support. C. He will offer comments. D. He will guide her every step. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。作者的妻子决定做视频博客。作者阐述了自己支持妻子这么做的原因。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’ve encouraged her to do her own video blog (vlog), too, because she is always watching them, but she hasn’t been interested in the spotlight.”可知，作者鼓励妻子做自己的视频博客(vlog)，因为她总是在看视频，但她对聚光灯并不感兴趣。由此可知，因为作者的妻子不喜欢处在聚光灯下，所以她没有尝试视频博客。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“ I am just thrilled that she has found a passion to pursue in a way that works for her.”和第三段“I know that being there for emotional support or however she needs me is important.”可知，作者对于妻子的决定很激动，因为妻子找到了一种激情。作者知道在她需要的时候给予她情感上的支持是很重要的。由此可知，作者支持妻子的决定。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“public attention in our social media world has become a marker of success, but it means more when you are sending a positive message. Helping people enjoy their lives a little more is a big deal.”可知，作者认为，在我们的社交媒体世界里，公众的关注已经成为成功的标志，但当你在传递积极的信息时，公众的关注意味着更多。帮助人们多享受一点生活是一件大事。由此可知，在做视频博客的时候，传递积极的信息是非常重要的。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I know that being there for emotional support or however she needs me is important.”可知，作者会给妻子提供情感支持。故选B。 C Imagine staying in the icy wilderness of Antarctica, cut off from the rest of the world, with only a small group of scientists. Such a group might be expected to develop a culture of its own, but would that develop a new shared accent (口音)? As part of the project to explain the spoken accent development, a group of researchers led by Jonathan Harrington, professor of phonetics and speech processing at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, started the study. The researchers studied a group of 11 scientists spending six months on an island just west of the Antarctic Peninsula. The scientists were from several countries, including the US, the UK, Iceland and Germany. As part of the study, they had to record themselves reading a list of vocabularies from a computer screen every few weeks. The list included words with vowel (元音) sounds /i:/, /u:/ and / əʊ/ that have been found to change over time in different English accents. The recordings were then sent to researchers. When the recordings were studied, the researchers found that the pronunciation of words with an /əʊ/ sound— such as “flow,” “code” and “sew”— had changed a little over the six months. The scientists began to pronounce it more toward the front of their mouths than toward the back. (British pronunciations are already typically fronter than American /əʊ/.) The researchers believe it shows the development of a new accent among the scientists. Harrington said, “When we speak to each other, we remember that speech, and then that has an influence on our own speech production.” While only small changes were recorded, the researchers believe the experiment helps to explain how different accents are created among enclosed (封闭的) communities — and may help us know why American and British English have developed as they have. 8. What were the scientists expected to do during the study? A. Tell stories. B. Show pictures. C. Make sentences. D. Read and record words. 9. Which word’s pronunciation may change in the enclosed community in the study? A. Show. B. Egg. C. Cup. D. Hat. 10. Which of the following do the researchers agree with concerning the finding? A. It proves life in Antarctica is difficult. B. It uncovers the connection of vowel sounds. C. It helps build communications among people with different accents. D. It may explain American and British English’s development. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Different Accents Around the World. B. The Development of English Language. C. Does a New Accent Form Among Enclosed Communities? D. What Would Scientists’ Daily Life Be Like in Antarctica? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家研究封闭社群中新口音的形成。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As part of the study, they had to record themselves reading a list of vocabularies from a computer screen every few weeks. (作为研究的一部分，他们每隔几周就得录制自己从电脑屏幕上朗读词汇列表的声音。)”可知，在孤岛上的科学家需要读词汇并进行录制。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The list included words with vowel (元音) sounds /i:/, /u:/ and /əʊ/ that have been found to change over time in different English accents. (该列表包括元音发音为/i:/、/u:/和/əʊ/的单词，这些单词在不同的英语口音中会随着时间的推移而变化。)”和第四段中“When the recordings were studied, the researchers found that the pronunciation of words with an /əʊ/ sound— such as “flow,” “code” and “sew”— had changed a little over the six months. (当研究这些录音时，研究人员发现带有/əʊ/音的单词的发音——比如“flow”、“code”和“sew”——在六个月的时间里发生了一些变化。)”可推断，含有元音音素/əʊ/的show的发音在这个封闭群体的实验中可能会发生改变。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While only small changes were recorded, the researchers believe the experiment helps to explain how different accents are created among enclosed (封闭的) communities — and may help us know why American and British English have developed as they have. (虽然只有很小的变化被记录下来，但研究人员认为，这个实验有助于解释不同的口音是如何在封闭的社区中产生的，并可能帮助我们了解为什么美式英语和英式英语会发展成现在这样。)”可知，研究者认为，实验结果也许可以解释美式英语和英式英语的发展。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Imagine staying in the icy wilderness of Antarctica, cut off from the rest of the world, with only a small group of scientists. Such a group might be expected to develop a culture of its own, but would that develop a new shared accent (口音)? (想象一下，你和一小群科学家呆在南极洲冰冷的荒野里，与世隔绝。这样一个群体可能会发展出自己的文化，但这会发展出一种新的共同口音吗？)”和最后一段“While only small changes were recorded, the researchers believe the experiment helps to explain how different accents are created among enclosed (封闭的) communities — and may help us know why American and British English have developed as they have. (虽然只有很小的变化被记录下来，但研究人员认为，这个实验有助于解释不同的口音是如何在封闭的社区中产生的，并可能帮助我们了解为什么美式英语和英式英语会发展成现在这样。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项科学实验。研究发现，一群科学家在一座孤岛上居住了六个月后，他们的口音发生了变化。所以最佳标题为C项“Does a New Accent Form Among Enclosed Communities? (在封闭的社区中会形成新的口音吗？)”。故选C。 D Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years? The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945. But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions. That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike? 12. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary. 13. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory? A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party. C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language. 14. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3? A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries. C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint. C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍为何长时间不骑自行车仍能骑行这一现象及其背后的记忆原理。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys.(这很令人惊讶，因为我们的记忆在很多其他情况下会fall short，比如记住一个地方的名字、一个我们曾经认识的人，或者我们把钥匙放在哪里。)”可知，记住地名、人名等日常记忆容易出错，而骑自行车的记忆却很牢固，由此可推测“fall short”的意思与“失败，不足”意义相近。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945.(语义记忆，也被称为事实记忆，是知道第二次世界大战于1945年结束。)”可知，知道法国的首都是事实记忆，属于语义记忆。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions.(但为什么程序性记忆如此强大呢？这对科学来说还不太清楚，尽管苏坎写道，一个原因是大脑中形成运动模式的区域经历的神经细胞更新较少，这有助于保持对这些动作的回忆。)”可知，程序性记忆不太可能被遗忘。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?(那么，为什么我们多年不骑自行车，却还能骑呢？)”以及第二段中的“The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making.(答案与我们正在形成的记忆类型有关。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是解释一种现象的原因。故选D项。 第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Some Winter Activities Winter activities are underestimated (低估).

(白天可能更短，但有趣的活动清单却不是。不要让冬天的忧郁占据上风。)”讲述了冬天也有一些有趣的活动，所以不要让冬天的阴霾笼罩自己，空处应承上启下，引出接下来的一些活动，D项“活跃起来，尝试这些冬季活动。”符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Finding your favourite.

(穿着雪鞋走路对初学者很友好，适合儿童和老年人。)”讲述了穿着雪鞋走路对初学者很友好，所以空处应是说不需要成为运动员就可以做这项活动，F项“你不必是一名运动员就可以享受这种季节性的活动。”符合题意。故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. (你不需要最新的装备就能玩得开心。)”讲述了没必要购买最新的装备，空处应说有其他获得装备的方式，C项“大多数滑雪场也租装备。”符合题意。故选C。 【20题详解】 空处是本段主旨句。根据后文“Taking an online class, or picking up an instrument for the first time, can be incredibly rewarding.

(参加在线课程，或者第一次学乐器，都会带来难以置信的回报。扩展你的专业技能可以为你未来的工作前景创造奇迹。这可能需要一些规划，但可以考虑在这个季节学习一些新的东西。)”可知，本段主要是讲述学习新东西的好处，所以B项“学一些东西。”符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分55分) 第一节 完型填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 When I was young I had a love-hate relationship with my car.

B My wife has watched me write, blog and make speeches for a few years now. I’ve encouraged her to do her own video blog (vlog), too, because she is always watching them, but she hasn’t been interested in the spotlight. Now that enough time has passed, she is ready to go for it! Angelika is a great cook, so she is going to do a cooking show. I am just thrilled that she has found a passion to pursue in a way that works for her. I’m smart enough to step back and let her go at her own pace. I know that being there for emotional support or however she needs me is important. Now that my wife will have a studio worthy of her talents and personality, she will only make the kitchen look better. Part of me hopes that I will spend the rest of my life watching and tasting her creations. When you start to express your creative drive it can be a wonderful ride. When the love of your life takes the ride with you, and starts to drive, it’s pretty cool way to travel through life. I am at my best when being creative, whether in front of a keyboard or a live audience. I have always encouraged creative answers to life. There is always more than one right way to do something. Yes, public attention in our social media world has become a marker of success, but it means more when you are sending a positive message. Helping people enjoy their lives a little more is a big deal. This project will not just make her happy but make us closer. I am aware that this is her project, not mine. I will answer any questions she asks but be careful about offering unwanted advice. What she doesn't know she will learn. You never want to take that process away from anyone. 4. Why didn’t Angelika try vlogging before? A. She was too busy to do it. B. She had no such talent or skill. C. She lacked self-confidence. D. She didn’t enjoy being on camera. 5.

C Imagine staying in the icy wilderness of Antarctica, cut off from the rest of the world, with only a small group of scientists. Such a group might be expected to develop a culture of its own, but would that develop a new shared accent (口音)? As part of the project to explain the spoken accent development, a group of researchers led by Jonathan Harrington, professor of phonetics and speech processing at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, started the study. The researchers studied a group of 11 scientists spending six months on an island just west of the Antarctic Peninsula. The scientists were from several countries, including the US, the UK, Iceland and Germany. As part of the study, they had to record themselves reading a list of vocabularies from a computer screen every few weeks. The list included words with vowel (元音) sounds /i:/, /u:/ and / əʊ/ that have been found to change over time in different English accents. The recordings were then sent to researchers. When the recordings were studied, the researchers found that the pronunciation of words with an /əʊ/ sound— such as “flow,” “code” and “sew”— had changed a little over the six months. The scientists began to pronounce it more toward the front of their mouths than toward the back. (British pronunciations are already typically fronter than American /əʊ/.) The researchers believe it shows the development of a new accent among the scientists. Harrington said, “When we speak to each other, we remember that speech, and then that has an influence on our own speech production.” While only small changes were recorded, the researchers believe the experiment helps to explain how different accents are created among enclosed (封闭的) communities — and may help us know why American and British English have developed as they have. 8. What were the scientists expected to do during the study? A. Tell stories. B. Show pictures. C. Make sentences. D. Read and record words. 9. Which word’s pronunciation may change in the enclosed community in the study? A. Show. B. Egg. C. Cup. D. Hat. 10. Which of the following do the researchers agree with concerning the finding? A. It proves life in Antarctica is difficult. B. It uncovers the connection of vowel sounds. C. It helps build communications among people with different accents. D. It may explain American and British English’s development. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Different Accents Around the World. B. The Development of English Language. C. Does a New Accent Form Among Enclosed Communities? D. What Would Scientists’ Daily Life Be Like in Antarctica? D Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years? The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945. But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions. That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike? 12. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary. 13. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory? A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party. C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language. 14. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3? A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries. C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint. C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon. 第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Some Winter Activities Winter activities are underestimated (低估).
