The lights kept turning on and off and the whole room was shaking. It was over in thirty seconds. As soon as the shaking stopped, we ran out of the building. The teacher asked us to go to the playground. Luckily, there weren’t any shakes any more. Then the teacher tried to call our parents to pick us up, but the phone couldn’t be connected.

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了弗吉尼亚四个旅游景点和场所的情况。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“CHOOSE YOUR VIRGINIA(选择你自己的弗吉尼亚之旅)”结合文章主要介绍了弗吉尼亚四个旅游景点和场所的情况。可推知，文章的目的是吸引游客到弗吉尼亚来。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Take a journey through history with a visit to the exciting museum and historic sites of Wytheville. The Rock House Museum offers glimpses into daily life in the 19th century. (来一趟历史之旅，参观令人兴奋的威瑟维尔博物馆和历史景点。岩石屋博物馆让人们得以一瞥19世纪的日常生活)”以及第三段“The News Museum in Arlington is the world’s only interactive museum of news. Visitors can be reporters or television newscasters, (阿灵顿的新闻博物馆是世界上唯一的交互式新闻博物馆。游客可以成为记者或电视新闻播音员)”可知，在新闻博物馆，游客可以扮演记者或电视新闻播音员，这与岩屋博物馆不同。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Virginia Beach offers 11,000 hotel/motel rooms, plus cottages and campgrounds. Enjoy miles of clean beaches and a variety of family attractions. Fine restaurants, various shopping areas, exciting nightlife, and special events are offered throughout the year.(弗吉尼亚海滩提供11000间酒店/汽车旅馆房间，以及别墅和露营地。享受数英里干净的海滩和各种家庭景点。全年提供精致的餐厅，各种购物区，令人兴奋的夜生活和特殊的活动)”可知，C选项“游客不能自己开车去那里”不是事实。故选C。 B The classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still includes an impressive character — a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu barada nikto”. What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused. I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board. Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better. I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language. Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations. But what will happen if my interest wanes and the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu barada nikto. 24. What did the author probably meet with? A. Hearing loss. B. Culture shock. C. A language barrier. D. A frightening robot. 25. What makes the author fall behind in language? A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse. 26. What does the author think of language change? A. It is entirely avoidable. B. It is really small. C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too rapid. 27. What does the underlined word “wanes” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reduces. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因年龄增长与学生产生语言隔阂的困惑与感慨。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.(这是什么意思？我不知道。但当我无意中听到学生们互相交谈时，我也常常会感到困惑)”和第二段中“But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.(但最近我清楚地意识到，一艘语言之船似乎已经起航，而我却没有登船)”可知，作者可能遇到了语言障碍。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.(其中一个“问题”是，随着时间的推移，我变老了，但我的学生仍然是18到22岁。早在我二三十岁的时候，这并不是什么问题，因为我们的年龄足够接近，可以说同一种语言。但最近我清楚地意识到，一艘语言之船似乎已经起航，而我却没有登船)”可知，日益扩大的年龄差异使作者在语言上落后，无法理解年轻的学生们所说的内容。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.(我并不反对改变，但当改变的速度让我竭尽全力才能跟上时，我就会感到不舒服。如果我从五年的小睡中醒来，我根本不知道人们在说什么。我就是无法理解那种语言)”可知，作者认为语言变化太快了，让自己无所适从。故选D。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上一段“I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.(我庆幸自己至少还对他们谈论的内容感兴趣，也庆幸自己多半能听懂他们的解释)”及划线词前的But可知，此处与前文构成转折关系，(但如果我的兴趣减弱了，语言之船最终消失在地平线上，会发生什么呢？对我来说，答案是明确的：Klaatu barada nikto。)”可知，当前作者依然有了解学生们谈话内容的兴趣，但是作者担心有一天这种兴趣减退了，自己就完全无法理解他们的话了，故划线词的意思应与A项reduces“减弱，减少”意思相近。故选A。 C On April 1st millions of Americans watched as six numbered ping-pong balls tumbled out of (从……中滚出) a giant popcorn popper. The occasion was the latest drawing of Power ball, a multi-state lottery. The last draw offered punters (赌徒) a shot at a $1bn jackpot, the fifth-biggest in the game’s 32-year history. The odds of winning the jackpot are unimaginably low — just one in 292m for Power ball. Yet sales are at a record high. In 2023 Americans shelled out more than $100bn on state-run lotteries. Were they a single company, America’s lotteries would be the ninth-most profitable in the country. Why are lotteries so popular when the chances of winning are so low? For one, they are almost everywhere. Some 45 states, and the District of Columbia, operate them. Low prices mean that anyone can afford to play; vast jackpots add to the excitement. Moreover, proceeds tend to go to worthy causes, such as public education or programs for the elderly. Whereas casinos keep less than 10% of the money wagered (下注) on slot machines, state lotteries keep around 30% of ticket sales, on average. But the system is woefully regressive. An analysis of data obtained by The Economist through public-records requests finds that poorer households spend significantly more, in absolute terms, on lotteries than richer ones. As a share of income, the imbalance is even more striking. Using zip-code-level sales data from 24 states, we estimate that each 10% decrease in median household income is associated with a 4% increase in lottery spending. Age and ethnicity are also correlated with lottery sales:older and non-white Americans are more likely to play. But income is the most-important factor. In the poorest 1% of zip codes that have lottery retailers, the average American adults spend around $600 a year, or nearly 5% of their income, on tickets. That compares with just $150, or 0.15%, for those in the richest 1% of zip codes. In other words, the poorest households spend roughly 30 times more on lotteries than richer ones, as a share of income. The pandemic appears to have made things worse. In 2021 the poorest 1% of households — flush with stimulus cheques — spent $100 more on lotteries than they did in 2019. The richest 1% spent just $10 more. 28. What are the mean reasons for the popularity of lotteries? A. Low price, moderate risk, and high payback. B. Appealing jackpot amount, high wining rate, and profitability. C. Profitability, possibility and generous social donation. D. Accessibility, affordability and public welfare promotion. 29. What does the underlined phrase “woefully regressive” mean in this context? A. Sadly declining. B. Severely unequal. C. Socially beneficial. D. Significantly influential. 30. What can we learn from Para. 5-6 ? A. The rich usually deprive the poor of their wealth through lottery system. B. An aged African-American woman is more likely to spend more on lotteries than a poor Anglo-Saxon White man. C. The poorest households spend much more on lotteries than the richer ones as a share of income but not as absolute numbers. D. Households in financial difficulties tend to wager a larger proportion of income on lotteries. 31. What is the best title for this article? A. Critical insight: the economics of American lotteries. B. Inspirational plan: make great fortune overnight. C. Silver Linings: the rise of modern “Great Catsby” D. American lotteries: the modern “blood diamond” business. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了美国彩票的相关情况，其受欢迎的原因，彩票系统存在严重的不平等现象，较贫困家庭在彩票上的花费占收入比例远高于富裕家庭等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Why are lotteries so popular when the chances of winning are so low? For one, they are almost everywhere. Some 45 states, and the District of Columbia, operate them. Low prices mean that anyone can afford to play; vast jackpots add to the excitement. Moreover, proceeds tend to go to worthy causes, such as public education or programs for the elderly. (为什么中奖的几率如此之低，彩票却如此受欢迎？首先，它们几乎无处不在。大约有45个州和哥伦比亚特区运营这种游戏。低廉的价格意味着任何人都能负担得起；巨额头奖增加了人们的兴奋感。此外，收益往往流向有价值的事业，如公共教育或老年人项目。)”可知彩票受欢迎的主要原因是到处都有，即易获取，价格低，任何人都能买得起，收益用于公益事业，故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语下文“An analysis of data obtained by The Economist through public-records requests finds that poorer households spend significantly more, in absolute terms, on lotteries than richer ones. (《经济学人》通过索取公共记录获得的数据分析发现，从绝对值来看，贫困家庭在彩票上的花费明显高于富裕家庭。)”可知彩票系统存在严重的不平等现象，也就是woefully regressive意思“严重不平等”，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In the poorest 1% of zip codes that have lottery retailers, the average American adults spend around $600 a year, or nearly 5% of their income, on tickets. That compares with just $150, or 0.15%, for those in the richest 1% of zip codes. (在邮政编码中最贫穷的1%有彩票零售商的地区，美国成年人平均每年花在彩票上的钱约为600美元，占其收入的近5%。相比之下，邮政编码中最富有的1%的人的平均收入仅为150美元，或0.15%。)”和第六段“In other words, the poorest households spend roughly 30 times more on lotteries than richer ones, as a share of income. (换句话说，最贫穷的家庭在彩票上的花费占收入的比例大约是富裕家庭的30倍。)”可推知经济困难的家庭倾向于把收入的很大一部分用于买彩票。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通断全文，可知文章主要是对美国彩票进行了经济学分析，包括彩票受欢迎的原因、彩票系统存在严重的不平等现象，较贫困家庭在彩票上的花费占收入比例远高于富裕家庭等，所以A选项“批判性洞察力：美国彩票的经济学。”符合文章主旨大意，适合作标题，故选A。 D Babies less than a year old can combine simple concepts into complex ideas, showing that creativity begins in babyhood. According to new research at the Central European University (CEU), babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be essential for language acquisition (习得). In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas. The basic mechanism for doing this is taking familiar concepts and combining them into new structures, but little is known about how early in life these abilities can be used. The researchers found that babies were able to very quickly learn new words that depict small quantities — an impressive achievement — and combine these spontaneously (自发地) with familiar words to fully understand a phrase. In the study, the researchers started by teaching the babies two new words: “mize”, to mean “one”, and “padu”, to mean “two”. Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example, to identify “padu ducks” from among a group of images. By teaching new words, the researchers were able to test the babies’ ability to combine concepts in real time, rather than simply recall combinations of words that they already knew from previous experience. By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about. Lead researcher, Dr Barbara Pomiechowska at the CEU, said, “For babies, this ability to combine different concepts is likely to help not only to interpret the complex language input, but also to learn about different aspects of the physical and social world.” 32. What can we know about babies’ creative thinking? A. It develops after babies’ language skills. B. It determines babies’ intelligence. C. It is key to language learning. D. It will disappear with time. 33. What is the primary goal of the study? A. To assess babies’ capability of creative thinking. B. To study the way new thoughts and ideas are formed. C. To find out how many new words babies can learn. D. To explore the origins of babies’ language acquisition. 34. What does the underlined word “depict” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Describe. B. Demand. C. Replace. D. Compare. 35. How did the researchers test babies’ concept combination? A. By tracking their physical actions. B. By measuring their brain activity. C. By observing their eye movements. D. By analyzing their language ability. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了一项研究发现，一岁以下的婴儿可以将简单的概念组合成复杂的想法，这表明创造力始于婴儿时期。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to new research at the Central European University (CEU), babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be essential for language acquisition (习得).(根据中欧大学（CEU）的一项新研究，婴儿不仅在开始说话之前就有创造性思维的能力，而且这种思维对语言习得可能是必不可少的。)”可知，创造性思维对于儿童的语言发展很关键。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas.(在这项研究中，研究人员着手探索人类创造力和高效思维的起源，试图找出人们是如何产生全新的思想和想法的。)”可知，这项研究的主要目的是研究新思想和观念形成的方式。故选B。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“and combine these spontaneously (自发地) with familiar words to fully understand a phrase(并将这些单词与熟悉的单词自发地结合起来，以完全理解一个短语)”可知，研究人员在实验过程中教授婴儿两个新单词，发现婴儿能够很快地学会描述小数量的新单词，将这些单词与熟悉的单词自发地结合起来，以完全理解一个短语。故划线词depict表示“描述”。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about.(通过使用眼动追踪技术来监测婴儿看的地方，研究人员能够证明婴儿能够成功地将这两个概念结合起来，以理解他们被问到的问题)”可知，研究人员通过观察他们的眼球运动测试婴儿的概念组合。故选C。 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。 How to choose your high school subjects wisely Preparing to enter a new grade and choosing the subjects that’ll see you through matric (毕业) can be frightening, but this is the first step to your future and you should move near it wisely.

So, Mrs Livingstone invited their governess(家庭教师), Miss Robinson, to take her place. Present at the table were all rich and important people, one of whom was the Count(伯爵) Borselli. He was expert at pearls, diamonds and all other precious stones. A marquis(侯爵夫人), Mary Lyngate, was proud of her pearl necklace and asked the Count to have a look at it. “It's quite nice,” said the Count. This didn’t please Marquis Lyngate. She had expected him to say “very, very nice”. “This string of pearls cost 8000 pounds,” she said proudly. “Yes, that’s the correct price,” the Count spoke in an ordinary voice. Then he pointed to Miss Robinson. “That is a very very nice string of pearls. She’s wearing one of the finest strings that I’ve ever seen in my life. It must be worth 50,000 pounds.” He said in admiration. “Miss Robinson’s pearls?” Miss Lyngate got confused. “But she is only a governess with an annual salary of 30 pounds!” “We’re not talking about governesses but pearls.” “Nonsense!” “I give you my word it is.” “Miss Robinson,” Mary Lyngate exclaimed. “Do you know what Count Borselli says? He says that string of pearls you are wearing is worth 50,000 pounds?” Just at the moment there was a sort of pause in the conversation so that everybody heard. They all turned and looked at Miss Robinson. She flushed a little and said quietly, “Well, I made a good bargain, because I paid only 15 shillings for it,” “You certainly did,” Miss Lyngate laughed, “I knew Count Borselli made a mistake. He says your pearls are worth 50,000 pounds.” Everyone in the room was silent. It was ridiculous to suppose that a governess would remain a governess if she owned a string of pearls worth 50, 000 pounds. It was obvious that the Count had made a bloomer. “I do not make mistakes,” said Count Borselli quietly but firmly. “I know the value of pearls.” 注意: 1. 所续写短文词数为150词左右，内容连贯，逻辑合理，表达清晰; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已经为你写好。 At that moment, the butler(管家) bent over Miss Robinson and said that two men asked to meet her immediately. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They waited in breathless suspense. Then the door opened and Miss Robinson walked in, with a cheque in hand. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version one (官方)： At that moment, the bulter bent over Miss Robinson and said that two men asked to meet her immediately. Astonished and confused, she got up and left the room. The same thought flashed through all their minds, but Marquis Lyngate said it first. “I hope they haven’t come to arrest her.” Mrs Livingstone turned pale, wondering if everything was all right in her jewel case. “Don’t talk nonsense,” Mr Livingstone said. “Miss Robinson is always honest. Even if it were stolen, she could hardly have had the nerve to wear the necklace tonight.” They waited in breathless suspense. Then the door opened and Miss Robinson walked in, with a check in hand. Pale and excited, she sat back and threw onto the table a string of pearls. “This’s my necklace,” she said. Count Borselli leant forwards and decided that was false and not the same one she was wearing just now. It turned out that the two men were from the jewelry store. Their shop assistants were so foolish as to make a terrible mistake, giving Miss Robinson a really valuable string. Without hesitation, she returned the string of pearls worth 50000 pounds. As compensation, they offered her a cheque of 2000 pounds. Sometimes, what it takes is just adequate trust regardless of poverty or low status. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在1901年的一个晚上，利文斯通一家邀请了14位朋友来家里吃饭。由于一位女士来不了。利文斯通夫人邀请他们的家庭教师,罗宾逊小姐,来取代她的位置。Borselli伯爵是珍珠、钻石和所有其他宝石的专家。他指了指罗宾逊小姐佩戴的是一串非常非常漂亮的珍珠并且它一定值5万英镑。房间里的每个人都沉默了。一个女家庭教师拥有一串价值5万英镑的珍珠项链，这简直是荒谬可笑。然而，伯爵坚定认为珍珠的价值不菲。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“那一刻,巴特勒弯腰罗宾逊小姐,说两个男人要求立即见到她。”可知，第一段可描写两个男人要求立即见到罗宾逊小姐后所发生的事。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们焦急地等待着。然后门开了，罗宾逊小姐走了进来，手里拿着一张支票。”可知，第二段可描写支票的来源。 2.续写线索：参加聚会——猜测项链价格——家庭教师价格昂贵——质疑——误会——澄清原因 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.离开：left/get away/departure 2.看一看：have a look at/take a look 3.归还：return/give back 情绪类 1.兴奋的：excited/feverish 2.吃惊：astonished/surprised 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Tourists can enjoy themselves on the clean beach B The classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still includes an impressive character — a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu barada nikto”. What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused. I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board. Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better. I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language. Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations. But what will happen if my interest wanes and the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu barada nikto. 24. What did the author probably meet with? A. Hearing loss. B. Culture shock. C. A language barrier. D. A frightening robot. 25. What makes the author fall behind in language? A. Learning needs. B. Teaching tasks. C. Age difference. D. Language abuse. 26. What does the author think of language change? A. It is entirely avoidable. B. It is really small. C. It is very beneficial. D. It is much too rapid. 27. What does the underlined word “wanes” in the last paragraph mean? A. Reduces. B. Grows. C. Happens. D. Focuses. C On April 1st millions of Americans watched as six numbered ping-pong balls tumbled out of (从……中滚出) a giant popcorn popper. The occasion was the latest drawing of Power ball, a multi-state lottery. The last draw offered punters (赌徒) a shot at a $1bn jackpot, the fifth-biggest in the game’s 32-year history. The odds of winning the jackpot are unimaginably low — just one in 292m for Power ball. Yet sales are at a record high. In 2023 Americans shelled out more than $100bn on state-run lotteries. Were they a single company, America’s lotteries would be the ninth-most profitable in the country. Why are lotteries so popular when the chances of winning are so low? For one, they are almost everywhere. Some 45 states, and the District of Columbia, operate them. Low prices mean that anyone can afford to play; vast jackpots add to the excitement. Moreover, proceeds tend to go to worthy causes, such as public education or programs for the elderly. Whereas casinos keep less than 10% of the money wagered (下注) on slot machines, state lotteries keep around 30% of ticket sales, on average. But the system is woefully regressive. An analysis of data obtained by The Economist through public-records requests finds that poorer households spend significantly more, in absolute terms, on lotteries than richer ones. As a share of income, the imbalance is even more striking. Using zip-code-level sales data from 24 states, we estimate that each 10% decrease in median household income is associated with a 4% increase in lottery spending. Age and ethnicity are also correlated with lottery sales:older and non-white Americans are more likely to play. But income is the most-important factor. In the poorest 1% of zip codes that have lottery retailers, the average American adults spend around $600 a year, or nearly 5% of their income, on tickets. That compares with just $150, or 0.15%, for those in the richest 1% of zip codes. In other words, the poorest households spend roughly 30 times more on lotteries than richer ones, as a share of income. The pandemic appears to have made things worse. In 2021 the poorest 1% of households — flush with stimulus cheques — spent $100 more on lotteries than they did in 2019. The richest 1% spent just $10 more. 28. What are the mean reasons for the popularity of lotteries? A. Low price, moderate risk, and high payback. B. Appealing jackpot amount, high wining rate, and profitability. C. Profitability, possibility and generous social donation. D. Accessibility, affordability and public welfare promotion. 29. What does the underlined phrase “woefully regressive” mean in this context? A. Sadly declining. B. Severely unequal. C. Socially beneficial. D. Significantly influential. 30. What can we learn from Para. 5-6 ? A. The rich usually deprive the poor of their wealth through lottery system. B. An aged African-American woman is more likely to spend more on lotteries than a poor Anglo-Saxon White man. C. The poorest households spend much more on lotteries than the richer ones as a share of income but not as absolute numbers. D. Households in financial difficulties tend to wager a larger proportion of income on lotteries. 31. What is the best title for this article? A. Critical insight: the economics of American lotteries. B. Inspirational plan: make great fortune overnight. C. Silver Linings: the rise of modern “Great Catsby” D. American lotteries: the modern “blood diamond” business. D Babies less than a year old can combine simple concepts into complex ideas, showing that creativity begins in babyhood. According to new research at the Central European University (CEU), babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be essential for language acquisition (习得). In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas. The basic mechanism for doing this is taking familiar concepts and combining them into new structures, but little is known about how early in life these abilities can be used. The researchers found that babies were able to very quickly learn new words that depict small quantities — an impressive achievement — and combine these spontaneously (自发地) with familiar words to fully understand a phrase. In the study, the researchers started by teaching the babies two new words: “mize”, to mean “one”, and “padu”, to mean “two”. Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example, to identify “padu ducks” from among a group of images. By teaching new words, the researchers were able to test the babies’ ability to combine concepts in real time, rather than simply recall combinations of words that they already knew from previous experience. By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about. Lead researcher, Dr Barbara Pomiechowska at the CEU, said, “For babies, this ability to combine different concepts is likely to help not only to interpret the complex language input, but also to learn about different aspects of the physical and social world.” 32. What can we know about babies’ creative thinking? A. It develops after babies’ language skills. B. It determines babies’ intelligence. C. It is key to language learning. D. It will disappear with time. 33. What is the primary goal of the study? A. To assess babies’ capability of creative thinking. B. To study the way new thoughts and ideas are formed. C. To find out how many new words babies can learn. D. To explore the origins of babies’ language acquisition. 34. What does the underlined word “depict” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Describe. B. Demand. C. Replace. D. Compare. 35. How did the researchers test babies’ concept combination? A. By tracking their physical actions. B. By measuring their brain activity. C. By observing their eye movements. D. By analyzing their language ability. 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。 How to choose your high school subjects wisely Preparing to enter a new grade and choosing the subjects that’ll see you through matric (毕业) can be frightening, but this is the first step to your future and you should move near it wisely.

At the last moment, a lady was unable to come. So, Mrs Livingstone invited their governess(家庭教师), Miss Robinson, to take her place. Present at the table were all rich and important people, one of whom was the Count(伯爵) Borselli. He was expert at pearls, diamonds and all other precious stones. A marquis(侯爵夫人), Mary Lyngate, was proud of her pearl necklace and asked the Count to have a look at it. “It's quite nice,” said the Count. This didn’t please Marquis Lyngate. She had expected him to say “very, very nice”. “This string of pearls cost 8000 pounds,” she said proudly. “Yes, that’s the correct price,” the Count spoke in an ordinary voice. Then he pointed to Miss Robinson. “That is a very very nice string of pearls. She’s wearing one of the finest strings that I’ve ever seen in my life. It must be worth 50,000 pounds.” He said in admiration. “Miss Robinson’s pearls?” Miss Lyngate got confused. “But she is only a governess with an annual salary of 30 pounds!” “We’re not talking about governesses but pearls.” “Nonsense!” “I give you my word it is.” “Miss Robinson,” Mary Lyngate exclaimed. “Do you know what Count Borselli says? He says that string of pearls you are wearing is worth 50,000 pounds?” Just at the moment there was a sort of pause in the conversation so that everybody heard. They all turned and looked at Miss Robinson. She flushed a little and said quietly, “Well, I made a good bargain, because I paid only 15 shillings for it,” “You certainly did,” Miss Lyngate laughed, “I knew Count Borselli made a mistake. He says your pearls are worth 50,000 pounds.” Everyone in the room was silent. It was ridiculous to suppose that a governess would remain a governess if she owned a string of pearls worth 50, 000 pounds. It was obvious that the Count had made a bloomer. “I do not make mistakes,” said Count Borselli quietly but firmly. “I know the value of pearls.” 注意: 1. 所续写短文词数为150词左右，内容连贯，逻辑合理，表达清晰; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段开头语已经为你写好。 At that moment, the butler(管家) bent over Miss Robinson and said that two men asked to meet her immediately. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They waited in breathless suspense.
