One winter morning, all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car. It was early January, and I was a senior in high school. It was a regular Tuesday morning, and like every other day, I grabbed my jacket, picked up the keys from the counter, and was about to head out when my dad stopped me. “Whoa, there,” he said, glancing at the snow piling up outside. “The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.” I argued, pointing out that school was about to start, and I didn’t want to wait for the bus. My dad, known for his stubbornness, wouldn’t give in. After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. “Fine, but be careful,” he said. I slid into the car, a bit triumphant. The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and I was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late. The car slid right into a snowbank. I spent a long frustrating minute trying to get it out. pressing down on the engine, trying every trick I knew. Eventually, I realized I was going to have to call my dad. When he arrived, his face was a mix of anger and disappointment. We pulled the car out with some help, but the damage was done. Now, every time I’m tempted to ignore someone’s advice, I think back to that day. Sometimes it’s smarter to listen than to prove a point. That day left me a little poorer and a lot wiser. 4.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者不听父亲的建议，下雪天还坚持要开车去上学，结果急转弯时，汽车开始打滑，撞到了雪堆上。让作者明白了在拒绝别人的建议之前最好三思而后行。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.(道路上覆盖着雪。你今天坐公共汽车去吧)”可知，由于下雪的情况，作者的父亲建议他乘公共汽车上学。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. ‘Fine, but be careful,’ he said.(激烈地说了几句之后，他叹了口气，把钥匙递给了我。‘很好，但要小心，’他说。)”可知，激烈争辩后父亲让步，故作者应是有些得意。故划线词意思是“得意的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and f was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late.

While teaching them in school can be a great way to ensure its continued survival via future generations, this isn’t always enough to maintain the vitality of a language. Fortunately, there are people around the world finding creative ways to revive endangered languages. Music has documented our history and legends. It’s no surprise, then, that many people are using music to promote the use of endangered language. One example is Garifuna, a Central American language spoken by fewer than 1,000,000 people. The interplay of language and music is accomplished not only by performing traditional songs and dances, but also by creating new music to draw in those not previously interested in the language. Whether it’s someone’s specific goal to promote an endangered language or musicians wanting to embrace their roots by singing songs, music extends the long cultural history of these languages. Films in endangered languages are kind of having a moment, or at least they’ve garnered a lot of media attention over the past few years. For instance, Disney released a Hawaiian version of Moana for free to Hawaiian schools, inspiring young people to engage with language. Even if films alone can’t save a language, they can revitalize a language by removing it from the classroom context and compelling viewers to consider it more deeply. The internet has been a double-edged sword for endangered languages. On one hand, speakers of endangered languages are no longer limited by geography. On the other hand, the internet is overflowing with English. Yet, young people are finding ways to adapt within digital spaces. For example, Icelandic is facing decline due to the influence of English from tourism and daily life. Instead of resisting change, young Icelanders are inventing their own terms to communicate in Icelandic online. By embracing rather than rejecting the change, there’s greater chance for these endangered languages to stay culturally strong. Reviving an endangered language isn’t overnight. No single solution will work, but when combined, these diverse strategies can introduce countless new speakers to the rich variety of languages. 8. How is Garifuna brought to life? A. By teaching it in schools. B. By making its old and new music. C. By documenting its history in books. D. By persuading musicians to sing in it. 9. How does Internet challenge endangered languages? A. It makes the use of endangered languages impossible. B. It provides unlimited space for all languages. C. It ruins the languages by inventing new terms. D. It is largely dominated by English. 10. What can be drawn from paragraph 4? A. English is the most influential language on the internet. B. The internet can be fully used to protect endangered languages. C. Icelandic will be removed from the endangered languages list soon. D. Resisting the use of English is a good way to protect an endangered language. 11. What can we infer about the endangered languages? A. Their preservation requires consistent joint efforts. B. Their vitality is maintained due to the artists’ efforts. C. Their preservation can be achieved by teaching in schools. D. They are unable to react to changes in modern society. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出语言正以惊人速度消失，仅靠学校教学不足以维持其活力，进而介绍了三种创意复兴方式：借助音乐传承与创新、通过电影打破课堂局限、利用互联网主动适应变化。最后强调濒危语言复兴非一蹴而就，需多种策略结合发力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One example is Garifuna, a Central American language spoken by fewer than 1,000,000 people. The interplay of language and music is accomplished not only by performing traditional songs and dances, but also by creating new music to draw in those not previously interested in the language. (加勒比语的例子就是如此，这种中美洲语言的使用者不足一百万人。语言和音乐的融合不仅通过表演传统歌舞实现，还会创作新音乐来吸引此前对该语言不感兴趣的人群)”可知，复兴加勒比语的方式是创作新旧两种音乐。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The internet has been a double-edged sword for endangered languages. On one hand, speakers of endangered languages are no longer limited by geography. On the other hand, the internet is overflowing with English. (互联网对于濒危语言而言是一把双刃剑。一方面，濒危语言使用者不再受地理限制；另一方面，互联网上充斥着英语)”可知，互联网对濒危语言的挑战在于其被英语大量占据。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The internet has been a double-edged sword for endangered languages. On one hand, speakers of endangered languages are no longer limited by geography. On the other hand, the internet is overflowing with English. Yet, young people are finding ways to adapt within digital spaces. For example, Icelandic is facing decline due to the influence of English from tourism and daily life. Instead of resisting change, young Icelanders are inventing their own terms to communicate in Icelandic online. By embracing rather than rejecting the change, there's greater chance for these endangered languages to stay culturally strong. (互联网对于濒危语言而言是一把双刃剑。一方面，濒危语言使用者不再受地理限制；另一方面，互联网上充斥着英语。然而，年轻人正在数字空间中寻找适应的方法。例如，由于旅游业和日常生活中英语的影响，冰岛语正面临衰退。冰岛的年轻人没有抵制变化，而是创造了自己的词汇，在网上用冰岛语交流。通过拥抱而非拒绝变化，这些濒危语言更有可能保持强大的文化活力。)”可知，互联网充斥英语，但冰岛年轻人没有抵制，而是创造冰岛语词汇用于网络交流，以此保持语言的文化活力。由此可推断，互联网可以被充分利用来保护濒危语言。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Reviving an endangered language isn’t overnight. No single solution will work, but when combined, these diverse strategies can introduce countless new speakers to the rich variety of languages. (濒危语言的复兴并非一蹴而就。单一方案无法奏效，但多种策略结合使用，就能吸引无数新的使用者，感受语言的丰富多样性)”可知，濒危语言的保护需要长期且多方的共同努力。故选A。 D Science serves as a powerful tool for unlocking the mysteries of the universe, but understanding its limitations is essential for its effective application. There are occasions where I have used the handle of a knife as a hammer (锤子), but the result would have been better if I’d had a more suitable tool at hand. As far as science goes, it is really good at testing things that are testable, but not so for those that are not. We can do, and have done, an impressive amount with our brains. But there are limits. Sometimes these limits go away if we keep at it for long enough — we just need better facilities and experiments to get the answer. Breaking new ground in modern science this way can be costly. Next generation supercomputers or incredibly large telescopes are expensive, yet these may be required to find answers to some of the unsolved mysteries of the universe. Sometimes the limits we encounter in trying to unlock the nature of the universe are cognitive (认知). Think about this: human DNA is only about 1.2 percent different from that of chimps (黑猩猩). Chimps are smart, no question. But could you teach them advanced mathematics? What if our DNA were another 1.2 percent further evolved than it is? What might our brains be capable of then? The level of abstract thinking might be unimaginable. Sometimes the limits we hit are fundamental. There are laws of nature we may never be able to understand, however advanced our brains might become. There are experiments we might never be able to perform. We may never be able to test what caused the universe to be created, and what caused the cause of the universe being created. This is where science may never break through. For something to be considered scientific, it must, by definition, be testable. There is a problem here: it may not need to be testable right now, but it must be testable at some point in the future by experiment. If an idea is untestable, that doesn’t mean it is wrong. It means it is untestable for now. These untestable ideas also happen to be some of the most interesting ones, probably because they’ve puzzled humanity for centuries. 12. Why does the author mention “knife” and “hammer” in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate how tools can be used creatively. B. To highlight consequences of using a wrong tool. C. To stress the need for the right tool to achieve desired results. D To show the necessity of keeping a handy tool within reach. 13. What is often required in breaking new ground in science? A. More advanced facilities for experiments. B. Broader science education. C. Deeper understanding of the brain power. D. More investment in next generation scientists. 14. What message does Paragraph 4 convey? A. Limitations of science may result from insufficient testing. B. Experimental research lays solid foundations for space technology. C. Boundaries of science can be pushed back with determined efforts. D. Some puzzles about the universe are far beyond scientific exploration. 15. What has the author added to the definition of a scientific idea? A. Untestable ideas can be true. B. Correct ideas are testable. C. Some scientific ideas may never be testable. D. An idea must be testable to be seen as correct. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了科学作为探索宇宙奥秘的强大工具，同时也指出了其局限性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There are occasions where I have used the handle of a knife as a hammer (锤子), but the result would have been better if I’d had a more suitable tool at hand.(有时我会用刀柄当锤子，但如果手边有更合适的工具，结果会更好。)”可知，作者提到“刀”和“锤子”是为了强调为了达到预期结果需要正确的工具。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Breaking new ground in modern science this way can be costly. Next generation supercomputers or incredibly large telescopes are expensive, yet these may be required to find answers to some of the unsolved mysteries of the universe.(以这种方式在现代科学中开拓新领域可能代价高昂。下一代超级计算机或难以置信的大型望远镜价格昂贵，但这些可能是找到一些未解宇宙之谜的答案所必需的。)”可知，在科学领域开拓新领域通常需要更先进的实验设施。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are laws of nature we may never be able to understand, however advanced our brains might become. There are experiments we might never be able to perform. We may never be able to test what caused the universe to be created, and what caused the cause of the universe being created. This is where science may never break through.(无论我们的大脑变得多么先进，有些自然法则我们可能永远无法理解。有些实验我们可能永远无法进行。我们可能永远无法检验是什么导致了宇宙的诞生，也无法检验是什么导致了导致宇宙诞生的那个‘原因’)”可知，第四段传达的信息是一些关于宇宙的谜团远远超出了科学探索的范围。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For something to be considered scientific, it must, by definition, be testable. There is a problem here: it may not need to be testable right now, but it must be testable at some point in the future by experiment. If an idea is untestable, that doesn’t mean it is wrong. It means it is untestable for now.(从定义上讲，要被认为是科学的，某事物必须是可测试的。这里有一个问题：它现在可能不需要可测试，但它必须在未来的某个时候通过实验进行测试。如果一个想法是不可测试的，那并不意味着它是错误的。这意味着它目前是不可测试的。)”可知，作者对科学观点的定义补充了不可测试的想法可能是正确的。故选A。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why We Hate Phone Calls Suddenly a sound rings out, stopping you in your tracks. Panicking, you search for where it could be coming from. It’s your phone, and if you’re like a quarter of 18 to 30-year-olds in a recent British study, you probably won’t answer it. The same study found that 70% of the people in this age group prefer text messages to phone calls. ____16____ While previous generations grew up using landlines to talk to their friends, smartphone-equipped younger people have grown up used to using text messages for social conversations. ____17____ You can read and respond to messages on your own schedule, and you can take time to think about what you want to say rather than being put on the spot during a phone call. Besides, when you can craft a reply free of interruption, you have greater control over your contributions to a conversation. ____18____ Many young people associate phone calls, particularly those without prior warning, with bad news. ____19____ Many people will now text someone to see if they’re available to take a phone call. If someone doesn’t feel able to sum something up in a few short messages they might leave a long voice note. But this doesn’t mean that anxiety around communication has been stopped. ____20____ Many times, texting anxiety comes from frustration, fear, and worry over the reactions of other people. For instance, a short response to your long message might be interpreted as a cold shrug and many people report tensions from being “left on read” — when you know someone has read your message, but they don’t, or won’t, reply. A. There’s less pressure with texting. B. Why do so many young people hate phone calls? C. The following are tips on how to solve the problem. D. Evidence suggests that texting can also cause anxiety. E. Texting is enjoying great popularity among the young. F. This means that new social codes are being established. G. Talking on the phone can lead people to feel a loss of control and some anxiety. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了当代年轻人普遍不喜欢接听电话的现象，分析了背后的原因，包括短信交流带来的低压力感、可控性以及电话与坏消息的关联，并指出新的社交规则正在形成，同时短信交流本身也会引发新的焦虑。 【16题详解】 上文“Suddenly a sound rings out, stopping you in your tracks. Panicking, you search for where it could be coming from. It’s your phone, and if you’ re like a quarter of 18 to 30-year-olds in a recent British study, you probably won’t answer it. The same study found that 70% of the people in this age group prefer text messages to phone calls. (突然，一个声音响起，让你停下脚步。你惊慌失措，寻找它可能来自哪里。是你的手机在响，如果你像最近一项英国研究中25%的18至30岁年轻人一样，你可能不会接它。同一项研究发现，这个年龄组中70%的人更喜欢短信而非电话。)”通过一个生动的场景和具体的研究数据，引出了年轻人普遍拒接电话、偏爱短信的现象。B选项“Why do so many young people hate phone calls? (为什么这么多年轻人讨厌电话?)”顺承上文，直接针对上文描述的现象提出核心疑问，自然引出下文对原因的详细分析。此句起到了承上启下的作用，是典型的设问句，引导文章进入分析解释部分。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“While previous generations grew up using landlines to talk to their friends, smartphone-equipped younger people have grown up used to using text messages for social conversations. (上一代人用固定电话与朋友交谈长大，而配备智能手机的年轻人则习惯用短信进行社交对话。)”对比了不同代际的社交沟通方式，指出年轻人习惯使用短信。A选项“There’s less pressure with texting. (发短信压力更小。)”承接上文，直接给出了年轻人偏爱短信的一个核心原因。下文“You can read and respond to messages on your own schedule, and you can take time to think about what you want to say rather than being put on the spot during a phone call. (你可以按自己的时间表阅读和回复信息，而且你可以花时间思考想说什么，而不是在电话中被当场提问。)”则是对A选项“压力更小”的具体解释和例证，详细说明了短信如何带来更低的压力感。上下文形成“论点-论据”的逻辑关系。故选A项。 【18题详解】 上文“Besides, when you can craft a reply free of interruption, you have greater control over your contributions to a conversation. (此外，当你能够不受干扰地构思回复时，你对自己在对话中的发言有更大的控制权)”进一步阐述了短信的另一个优点——给予交谈者更多的控制感。G选项“Talking on the phone can lead people to feel a loss of control and some anxiety. (打电话会让人感到失控和一些焦虑。)”与上文形成对比，从反面论证了电话的缺点(导致失控感和焦虑)，从而强化了年轻人偏爱短信的合理性。这一对比使论述更加充分。同时，G选项也引出了下文的关联“Many young people associate phone calls, particularly those without prior warning, with bad news. (许多年轻人将电话，尤其是那些没有事先通知的电话，与坏消息联系起来。)”，因为“焦虑”和“坏消息”的联想在情绪上是连贯的。故选G项。 【19题详解】 上文分析了年轻人偏爱短信、讨厌电话的诸多原因。下文“Many people will now text someone to see if they’re available to take a phone call. If someone doesn’t feel able to sum something up in a few short messages, they might leave a long voice note. (现在很多人会先发短信询问对方是否有空接电话。如果有人觉得无法用几条短信息来概括某事，他们可能会留一条长的语音信息。)”描述了当前沟通中出现的新行为模式：先用短信预约电话，或使用长语音作为折中。F选项“This means that new social codes are being established. (这意味着新的社交规则正在被建立。)”是对下文这些新行为的总结和定性。“This”与下文中描述的这些新的沟通习惯相照应，说明它们正在形成一种新的社交规范。该句位于段落开头，起到了概括全段主旨的作用。故选F项。 【20题详解】 上文“But this doesn’t mean that anxiety around communication has been stopped. (但这并不意味着围绕沟通的焦虑已经消失了。)”是一个承上启下的转折句，指出虽然短信减少了电话带来的焦虑，但焦虑并未完全消除。D选项“Evidence suggests that texting can also cause anxiety. (有证据表明，发短信也会引起焦虑。)”紧跟转折，具体说明了新的焦虑来源是短信本身。下文“Many times, texting anxiety comes from frustration, fear, and worry over the reactions of other people. For instance... (很多时候，短信焦虑来自沮丧、恐惧和对他人反应的担忧。例如……)”则是对D选项的具体展开，列举了短信焦虑的来源和表现。D选项与下文形成“观点-例证”的关系。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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。 Last year at Christmas time my wife and I were in France.

The village had a variety of trades to meet the needs of the villagers. There was a barber, a tailor, a coffee shop owner, a grocer (食品杂货), and so on. All of us were quite poor but we got by. However, one family which was poorer than the others was the Lim family, who lived in the bicycle shop opposite our house. Mr. Lim, who mended bikes, had many children — six to be exact. My mother was a kind-hearted soul. Often, she would say that Mr. Lim’s children were dressed in poor clothes and looked hungry. My family was one of the richer ones in the village. My parents would take whatever food we could spare to the Lim family. I remember one particular year when times were very hard. Even my family had to make do with two meals a day, so we stopped the practice of giving food to Mr. Lim. One day, I noticed my mother looking troubled. She had learned that the Lim family had not been eating for the past two days. She decided to give some of our meals to the family, despite the protests from my brothers that were too hungry. Fortunately, the difficult time did not last long, and the children in our family went back to three meals a day. As time went on, the number of customers at Lim’s shop increased, which was delightful. Business took off like a rocket, as the Chinese bikes he sold were very useful and popular. The family became much better off than before. It was at this time that my father’s health was worsening. We were confused by the strange illness he was suffering from. Because he was unable to look after his food store, business got worse. My father had to sell our family car to pay off the increasing bills. My brothers and I had to stop going to school because we could not afford the fees. 注意：1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mr. Lim learned of our difficulty, he said it was his turn to help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of Mr. Lim, the situation in my family took a turn for the better. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When Mr. Lim learned of our difficulty, he said it was his turn to help. He stated simply that it was his turn to repay the kindness that my parents had shown to him in the past. Through his connections, Mr. Lim arranged for my father to consult a famous doctor. Not only was this doctor’s diagnosis of my father’s medical condition accurate, but he was also able to cure my father. He also told my brothers and I that we should not give up our education. He then arranged to finance our education as long as we needed it. With the help of Mr. Lim, the situation in my family took a turn for the better. My father recovered from his illness gradually and his business recovered the next year. My father is now the proud owner of the village mini-market. Mr. Lim has expanded his business, too. My brothers and I are among the top students in the school. Whenever my parents meet up with Mr. Lim, they always thank him for his past help. The children in both families have brotherly friendship now. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家当时开一间小卖部，生活条件好一些。妈妈就经常救济家对面的一家卖自行车的铺子那一大家子人。即使在一天只能吃两顿饭的生活困难时期，妈妈仍然没有忘记去分一部分食物给他们。但是后来作者的爸爸生病了，家里情况每况愈下，甚至连家里的汽车都卖了，就为了给爸爸买药。还因为交不起学费，作者和兄弟们也都退学了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Lim先生得知我们的困难时，他说该轮到他帮忙了”可知，第一段可描写Lim先生逐步帮助作者家摆脱困境。 ②由第二段首句内容“在Lim先生的帮助下，我家的情况有了好转”可知，第二段可描写作者家情况好转，两家人关系亲密。 2.续写线索：帮助爸爸联系有名的医生——资助兄弟们上学——爸爸病好——爸爸生意恢复——两家人亲如一家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①说：state/declare ②资助：finance/ subsidize ③放弃：give up/ quit 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/be grateful for ②善良：kindness/ goodness 【点睛】[高分句型1] He also told my brothers and I that we should not give up our education.(运用了that引导宾语从句) [高分句型2] Not only was this doctor’s diagnosis of my father’s medical condition accurate, but he was also able to cure my father.

B It’s strange how a single moment can shift everything you think you know. One winter morning, all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car. It was early January, and I was a senior in high school. It was a regular Tuesday morning, and like every other day, I grabbed my jacket, picked up the keys from the counter, and was about to head out when my dad stopped me. “Whoa, there,” he said, glancing at the snow piling up outside. “The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.” I argued, pointing out that school was about to start, and I didn’t want to wait for the bus. My dad, known for his stubbornness, wouldn’t give in. After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. “Fine, but be careful,” he said. I slid into the car, a bit triumphant. The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and I was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late. The car slid right into a snowbank. I spent a long frustrating minute trying to get it out. pressing down on the engine, trying every trick I knew. Eventually, I realized I was going to have to call my dad. When he arrived, his face was a mix of anger and disappointment. We pulled the car out with some help, but the damage was done. Now, every time I’m tempted to ignore someone’s advice, I think back to that day. Sometimes it’s smarter to listen than to prove a point. That day left me a little poorer and a lot wiser. 4. What did the writer’s father suggest he do due to the snowy conditions? A. Staying home. B. Walking to school. C. Going to school by bus. D. Drive slowly on the road. 5. What does the word “triumphant” (paragraph 5) most likely mean? A Amused. B. Proud. C. Embarrassed. D. Regretful. 6. What happened to the car when the writer tried to make a sharp turn? A. It made the turn safely. B. It slid off the road and hit another car. C. It came to a complete stop in the road. D. It started to slip and crashed into a snowbank. 7. What lesson did the writer learn from the experience? A. It’s better to think twice before saying no to others’ advice. B. It’s always best to rely on oneself in challenging situations. C. Driving in snowy conditions ought to be legally prohibited. D. Arguing with parents often leads to misunderstandings. C Languages are dying at an alarming rate. While teaching them in school can be a great way to ensure its continued survival via future generations, this isn’t always enough to maintain the vitality of a language. Fortunately, there are people around the world finding creative ways to revive endangered languages. Music has documented our history and legends. It’s no surprise, then, that many people are using music to promote the use of endangered language. One example is Garifuna, a Central American language spoken by fewer than 1,000,000 people. The interplay of language and music is accomplished not only by performing traditional songs and dances, but also by creating new music to draw in those not previously interested in the language. Whether it’s someone’s specific goal to promote an endangered language or musicians wanting to embrace their roots by singing songs, music extends the long cultural history of these languages. Films in endangered languages are kind of having a moment, or at least they’ve garnered a lot of media attention over the past few years. For instance, Disney released a Hawaiian version of Moana for free to Hawaiian schools, inspiring young people to engage with language. Even if films alone can’t save a language, they can revitalize a language by removing it from the classroom context and compelling viewers to consider it more deeply. The internet has been a double-edged sword for endangered languages. On one hand, speakers of endangered languages are no longer limited by geography. On the other hand, the internet is overflowing with English. Yet, young people are finding ways to adapt within digital spaces. For example, Icelandic is facing decline due to the influence of English from tourism and daily life. Instead of resisting change, young Icelanders are inventing their own terms to communicate in Icelandic online. By embracing rather than rejecting the change, there’s greater chance for these endangered languages to stay culturally strong. Reviving an endangered language isn’t overnight.

What can be drawn from paragraph 4? A. English is the most influential language on the internet. B. The internet can be fully used to protect endangered languages. C. Icelandic will be removed from the endangered languages list soon. D. Resisting the use of English is a good way to protect an endangered language. 11. What can we infer about the endangered languages? A. Their preservation requires consistent joint efforts. B. Their vitality is maintained due to the artists’ efforts. C. Their preservation can be achieved by teaching in schools. D. They are unable to react to changes in modern society. D Science serves as a powerful tool for unlocking the mysteries of the universe, but understanding its limitations is essential for its effective application. There are occasions where I have used the handle of a knife as a hammer (锤子), but the result would have been better if I’d had a more suitable tool at hand. As far as science goes, it is really good at testing things that are testable, but not so for those that are not. We can do, and have done, an impressive amount with our brains. But there are limits. Sometimes these limits go away if we keep at it for long enough — we just need better facilities and experiments to get the answer. Breaking new ground in modern science this way can be costly. Next generation supercomputers or incredibly large telescopes are expensive, yet these may be required to find answers to some of the unsolved mysteries of the universe. Sometimes the limits we encounter in trying to unlock the nature of the universe are cognitive (认知的). Think about this: human DNA is only about 1.2 percent different from that of chimps (黑猩猩). Chimps are smart, no question. But could you teach them advanced mathematics? What if our DNA were another 1.2 percent further evolved than it is? What might our brains be capable of then? The level of abstract thinking might be unimaginable. Sometimes the limits we hit are fundamental. There are laws of nature we may never be able to understand however advanced our brains might become. There are experiments we might never be able to perform. We may never be able to test what caused the universe to be created, and what caused the cause of the universe being created. This is where science may never break through. For something to be considered scientific, it must, by definition, be testable. There is a problem here: it may not need to be testable right now, but it must be testable at some point in the future by experiment. If an idea is untestable, that doesn’t mean it is wrong. It means it is untestable for now. These untestable ideas also happen to be some of the most interesting ones, probably because they’ve puzzled humanity for centuries. 12. Why does the author mention “knife” and “hammer” in Paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate how tools can be used creatively. B. To highlight consequences of using a wrong tool. C. To stress the need for the right tool to achieve desired results. D. To show the necessity of keeping a handy tool within reach. 13. What is often required in breaking new ground in science? A. More advanced facilities for experiments. B. Broader science education. C. Deeper understanding of the brain power. D. More investment in next generation scientists. 14. What message does Paragraph 4 convey? A. Limitations of science may result from insufficient testing. B. Experimental research lays solid foundations for space technology. C. Boundaries of science can be pushed back with determined efforts. D. Some puzzles about the universe are far beyond scientific exploration. 15. What has the author added to the definition of a scientific idea? A. Untestable ideas can be true. B. Correct ideas are testable. C. Some scientific ideas may never be testable. D. An idea must be testable to be seen as correct. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why We Hate Phone Calls Suddenly a sound rings out, stopping you in your tracks. Panicking, you search for where it could be coming from. It’s your phone, and if you’re like a quarter of 18 to 30-year-olds in a recent British study, you probably won’t answer it. The same study found that 70% of the people in this age group prefer text messages to phone calls. ____16____ While previous generations grew up using landlines to talk to their friends, smartphone-equipped younger people have grown up used to using text messages for social conversations. ____17____ You can read and respond to messages on your own schedule, and you can take time to think about what you want to say rather than being put on the spot during a phone call.

If someone doesn’t feel able to sum something up in a few short messages, they might leave a long voice note. But this doesn’t mean that anxiety around communication has been stopped. ____20____ Many times texting anxiety comes from frustration, fear, and worry over the reactions of other people. For instance, a short response to your long message might be interpreted as a cold shrug and many people report tensions from being “left on read” — when you know someone has read your message, but they don’t, or won’t, reply.

All the people who lived there helped each other. The village had a variety of trades to meet the needs of the villagers. There was a barber, a tailor, a coffee shop owner, a grocer (食品杂货), and so on. All of us were quite poor but we got by. However, one family which was poorer than the others was the Lim family, who lived in the bicycle shop opposite our house. Mr. Lim, who mended bikes, had many children — six to be exact. My mother was a kind-hearted soul. Often, she would say that Mr. Lim’s children were dressed in poor clothes and looked hungry. My family was one of the richer ones in the village. My parents would take whatever food we could spare to the Lim family. I remember one particular year when times were very hard. Even my family had to make do with two meals a day, so we stopped the practice of giving food to Mr. Lim. One day, I noticed my mother looking troubled. She had learned that the Lim family had not been eating for the past two days. She decided to give some of our meals to the family, despite the protests from my brothers that were too hungry. Fortunately, the difficult time did not last long, and the children in our family went back to three meals a day. As time went on, the number of customers at Lim’s shop increased, which was delightful. Business took off like a rocket, as the Chinese bikes he sold were very useful and popular. The family became much better off than before. It was at this time that my father’s health was worsening. We were confused by the strange illness he was suffering from. Because he was unable to look after his food store, business got worse. My father had to sell our family car to pay off the increasing bills. My brothers and I had to stop going to school because we could not afford the fees. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mr. Lim learned of our difficulty, he said it was his turn to help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the help of Mr. Lim, the situation in my family took a turn for the better. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
