Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The U.S. Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area. It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force. The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered. Those are subject to protection: (1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures (3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films (5) Maps (6) Works of ant (7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs (9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions Those are not subject to protection: (1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans (3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts You can contact the Copyright Office (wwcoprightfice.org) for more information. 21. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents? A. The application fee. B. The duration of protection. C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society. 22. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration? A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself. C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates. 23. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ______. A. a movie about a new method of time travel B. an original musical composition for children C. a book about one’s opinions on American laws D. an official document issued by the local county B The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth. A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes. Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness. “I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.” In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. 24. What do we know about Green from the first two paragraphs? A. A financial crisis ruined her dream. B. Further education made her optimistic. C. Volunteering brought her new jobs. D. Her passion for writing did not change. 25. Why did Green pursue a diverse path? A. To show off her creativity. B. To please critical readers. C. To develop her adaptability. D. To build her a reputation. 26. What matters most to her career according to Green? A. Handling criticism bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin. C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey. 27. Which words can best describe Green? A. Independent and considerate. B. Generous and creative. C. Hard-working and determined. D. Ambitious and modest. C If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life. 28. What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text? A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility. 29. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text? A. They explore mysteries of life. B. They spark emotional responses. C. They enhance physical well-being. D. They offer a getaway from daily life. 30. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Barriers to combine the arts and life. B. Benefits of engaging with the arts. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine. 31 Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Arts Journey: Refreshing Soul B. The Arts Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full C. Embracing the Arts: From Luxury to Necessity D. Connecting with the Arts: From Reality to Fantasy D Memes (模因) didn’t start with the internet. Some linguists argue that humans have used memes to communicate for centuries. Memes are widely known as channels for cultural conversations and as an opportunity to participate in Internet trends. The word “meme” has been used in the New York Times Crossword 60 times since the column started in the 1940s. Although it’s difficult to identify the first meme ever, the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is credited with coining the term in his 1976 book, “The Selfsh Gene.” In his original conception, a “meme” was somewhat similar to a “phoneme,” the smallest unit of sound in speech. “I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years,” said Kirby Conrod, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College. “That piece of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff.” Memes are shareable by nature. In a world where you are constantly fed online news, the meme format catches your eye, and most of them can be read and understood within seconds. The power of a meme lies in its transmissibility (传递性) and unique talent for being cross-cultural. Creating and sharing memes boosts a sense of community online and brings people together through humor. Meme culture is constantly developing, and the future of memes is unpredictable, but some of the internet’s most popular meme creators have thoughts on where it might be headed. Mr Price, of Memes.com, for example, predicted that in five years ― or sooner ― every cultural moment and every news story will have an accompanying meme, and that meme will be a large part of the mainstream conversation about that event. “Memes on the internet took what is already naturally occurring in the way that we communicate and supercharged it by making it global and simple,” he said. What can I say? The girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t. 32. What can we learn about “meme” according to the first two paragraphs? A. It only sounds like the word “gene”. B. It made its first appearance in the 1940s C. It is the smallest sound unit in speech. D. It was a term first introduced by Mr. Dawkins. 33. What does Professor Conrod think of memes? A. They allow for cultural diversity online. B. They spread humor and political messages. C. They make advertising shareable and readable. D. They are frequently shared and repeated by humans. 34. What is Mr. Price’s attitude towards the future of memes? A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Objective. 35. How do you understand the last paragraph? A. The target reader of the article are girls B. It implies a certain famous meme story. C. The author has doubts about the essay. D. It has nothing to do with this article. 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。 Self-Improvement Life can be a whirlwind of responsibilities and stress, but the right focus goes a long way towards ensuring you become a better person. ____36____ Keep reading to learn how you can go about your self-improvement journey. ____37____ Everyone needs something to live for, so think about what you want in life.

One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor, and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back in its place. As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away, no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished, but, as he had already lied, he decided to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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，每段对话读两遍。Now, miss Taylor, although the guidelines recommend four pills a day, I want you to take one fewer. and that won't be a problem.

Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The U.S. Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area. It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force. The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered. Those are subject to protection: (1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures (3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films (5) Maps (6) Works of ant (7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs (9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions Those are not subject to protection: (1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans (3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts You can contact the Copyright Office (wwcoprightfice.org) for more information. 21. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents? A. The application fee. B. The duration of protection. C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society. 22. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration? A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself. C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates. 23. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ______. A. a movie about a new method of time travel B. an original musical composition for children C. a book about one’s opinions on American laws D. an official document issued by the local county 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是版权制度，获得版权注册的程序和版权局接受和不接受的东西。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents.(版权的保护期比专利的保护期长得多。)”可知，版权和专利的保护期限不同，故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work.(获得版权注册的程序非常简单——提交申请，只需支付少量费用和两份作品副本。)”可知，你应提供你作品的副本来作版权登记，故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Those are not subject to protection:部分的“Government publications(政府出版物)”可知，版权局可能会拒绝当地县政府发布的官方文件，故选D。 B The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth. A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes. Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness. “I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.” In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived. 24. What do we know about Green from the first two paragraphs? A. A financial crisis ruined her dream. B. Further education made her optimistic. C. Volunteering brought her new jobs. D. Her passion for writing did not change. 25. Why did Green pursue a diverse path? A. To show off her creativity. B. To please critical readers. C. To develop her adaptability. D. To build her a reputation. 26. What matters most to her career according to Green? A. Handling criticism bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin. C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey. 27. Which words can best describe Green? A. Independent and considerate. B. Generous and creative. C. Hard-working and determined. D. Ambitious and modest. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Julia Green历经困难坚持写作并取得成功的故事。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.(就在她大学毕业的时候，一场金融危机席卷了这个国家，使得她很难在新闻行业找到一份工作。尽管她的担忧与日俱增，但她并没有放弃自己的梦想；相反，她参加了一个全球性的志愿者项目来实现自我成长)”以及第二段“A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it.(一年后，格林开始从事一些零散的写作工作来维持生计，与此同时，她梦想着有一天能够自由地写作并以此获得报酬)”可知，尽管面临金融危机找工作困难，以及做随机写作工作来维持生计，但格林对写作的梦想和热情从未改变。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.”(“我有意地努力让自己的发展道路尽可能宽广，” 她说，“这是我一开始就必须要做的事情。我想成为一名全面的作家。”)” 可推知，格林追求多样化的写作道路是为了让自己成为一个全面的作家，也就是培养自己的适应能力，能够应对不同类型的写作任务。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.”(当被问及自己的写作历程时，格林说：“我从22岁起就一直在写作。从事写作这一行需要你有厚脸皮。作为一名作家，太在意别人对你的看法对你没有好处。你必须在情感上做好面对被拒绝的准备。”)”可知，对于她的写作事业来说，最重要的是要勇敢地面对批评和拒绝，要有厚脸皮，不要在意别人的看法。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.(成功之路并非总是清晰明确的。朱莉娅・格林对此深有体会。就在她大学毕业之时，一场金融危机席卷了整个国家，这使得她很难在新闻行业找到一份工作。尽管她的担忧日益加剧，但她并没有放弃自己的梦想；相反，她参加了一个全球性的志愿者项目来实现自我成长)”可知，格林在就业困难时没放弃梦想，通过不断努力，找写作相关工作，申请深造，尝试不同写作题材，最终取得成功，说明她努力且坚定。故选C。 C If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life. 28. What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text? A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility. 29. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text? A. They explore mysteries of life. B. They spark emotional responses. C. They enhance physical well-being. D. They offer a getaway from daily life. 30. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Barriers to combine the arts and life. B. Benefits of engaging with the arts. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Arts Journey: Refreshing Soul B. The Arts Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full C. Embracing the Arts: From Luxury to Necessity D. Connecting with the Arts: From Reality to Fantasy 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术，但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed.(这种不匹配可以归结为一个事实，即我们被日常责任压得喘不过气来，使得我们的日程安排得很满)”可知，是缺少时间阻止了人们享受艺术。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.(想想你听到一首音乐想哭的时候。或者，当你从一个陌生城市的狭窄小巷中走出来时，你可能会感到头晕目眩。在那里，你发现自己置身于一个美丽的城市广场，仿佛置身于幻想之中。它们可能刺激了突然的觉醒，就像在吸入烟雾弥漫的空气后，吸入满满一口纯氧所带来的震撼一样)”可知，艺术能激起情感反应。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.(然后制定一个你的艺术接触之旅的时间表，逐渐把艺术融入你的日常生活)”可推知，下文可能会讲述把艺术融入日常生活的方法。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity.(如果你觉得艺术是一种纯粹的乐趣，可以去体验和参与，那么你可能会把它们视为奢侈品，而更好的态度是把艺术不那么看作是一种分散注意力的乐趣，而更多地看作是锻炼或睡眠，是一种必需品)”，并结合文章主要讲述了人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术，但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。可知，C选项“拥抱艺术：从奢侈品到必需品”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D Memes (模因) didn’t start with the internet. Some linguists argue that humans have used memes to communicate for centuries. Memes are widely known as channels for cultural conversations and as an opportunity to participate in Internet trends. The word “meme” has been used in the New York Times Crossword 60 times since the column started in the 1940s. Although it’s difficult to identify the first meme ever, the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is credited with coining the term in his 1976 book, “The Selfsh Gene.” In his original conception, a “meme” was somewhat similar to a “phoneme,” the smallest unit of sound in speech. “I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years,” said Kirby Conrod, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College. “That piece of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff.” Memes are shareable by nature. In a world where you are constantly fed online news, the meme format catches your eye, and most of them can be read and understood within seconds. The power of a meme lies in its transmissibility (传递性) and unique talent for being cross-cultural. Creating and sharing memes boosts a sense of community online and brings people together through humor. Meme culture is constantly developing, and the future of memes is unpredictable, but some of the internet’s most popular meme creators have thoughts on where it might be headed. Mr Price, of Memes.com, for example, predicted that in five years ― or sooner ― every cultural moment and every news story will have an accompanying meme, and that meme will be a large part of the mainstream conversation about that event. “Memes on the internet took what is already naturally occurring in the way that we communicate and supercharged it by making it global and simple,” he said. What can I say? The girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t. 32. What can we learn about “meme” according to the first two paragraphs? A. It only sounds like the word “gene”. B. It made its first appearance in the 1940s C. It is the smallest sound unit in speech. D. It was a term first introduced by Mr. Dawkins. 33. What does Professor Conrod think of memes? A. They allow for cultural diversity online. B. They spread humor and political messages. C. They make advertising shareable and readable. D. They are frequently shared and repeated by humans. 34. What is Mr. Price’s attitude towards the future of memes? A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Negative. D. Objective. 35. How do you understand the last paragraph? A. The target reader of the article are girls B It implies a certain famous meme story. C. The author has doubts about the essay. D. It has nothing to do with this article. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了模因的起源，定义以及特点等。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although it’s difficult to identify the first meme ever, the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins is credited with coining the term in his1976 book, “The Selfsh Gene.”(尽管很难确定第一个模因，但英国进化生物学家理查德·道金斯 (Richard Dawkins) 在他 1976 年的著作《自私的基因》(The Selfsh Gene) 中创造了这个术语)”可知，“meme”这个术语是Dawkins先生首先提出的，故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““I would explain the concept of a meme ― a self-replicating (复制) piece of information   ― by asking someone about an inside joke they had with friends or an advertising jingle (短曲) that’s been stuck in their head for 20 years,” said Kirby Conrod, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College. “That piece of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff.”(“我会通过询问某人与朋友的内部笑话或在他们脑海中扎根20 年的广告歌曲来解释模因（一种自我复制的信息）的概念。”斯沃斯莫尔学院语言学教授柯比·康罗德说。“这条信息，无论是笑话还是顺口溜，都会自我复制，因为我们人类喜欢分享和重复东西。”)”可知，教授柯比·康罗德认为 模因经常被人类共享和重复。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Mr Price, of Memes.com, for example, predicted that in five years ― or sooner ― every cultural moment and every news story will have an accompanying meme, and that meme will be a large part of the mainstream conversation about that event(例如，Memes.com 的普莱斯先生预测，五年内或更短的时间内，每个文化时刻和每个新闻故事都会有一个伴随的模因，而该模因将成为有关该事件的主流对话的重要组成部分)”可推知，普莱斯先生对模因的未来持乐观态度，故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What can I say?

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自我提升的一些好的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Life can be a whirlwind of responsibilities and stress, but the right focus goes a long way towards ensuring you become a better person.(生活可能是一场责任和压力的旋风，但正确的关注对确保你成为一个更好的人有很大帮助)”以及后文“Keep reading to learn how you can go about your self-improvement journey.(继续读下去，学习如何开始自我提升之旅)”可知，上文提到了成为更好的人，后文介绍如何开始自我提升，G选项中better yourself对应上文a better person。故G选项“你每天都可以做一些事情，以不同的方式让自己变得更好”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Everyone needs something to live for, so think about what you want in life. Not only can struggling for something make you a happier and better person, but it can also help you find your purpose. Use a pen and paper and write down the short and long-term goals you would like to achieve.(每个人都需要为之而活，所以想想你在生活中想要什么。为某件事奋斗不仅能让你变得更快乐、更好，还能帮助你找到自己的目标。用纸和笔写下你想要实现的短期和长期目标)”可知，本段讲的是设置目标，E选项中Positive aspiration something to thrive for与本段的something make you a happier and better person 相呼应，故E选项“积极的抱负能给你带来成长的动力”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Allow yourself time to forgive your past mistakes and recognize what they’ve taught you.(给自己一点时间来原谅过去的错误，并认识到它们教会了你什么)”以及后文“You may not be able to forget what they’ve done, that’s okay, but forgiveness can give you peace of mind.(你可能无法忘记他们做过的事，这没关系，但宽恕可以让你内心平静)”可知，空前提到让自己有时间原谅你过去的错误，并认识到它们教给你的东西，后面提到也许你可能无法忘记他们做了什么，但宽恕可以让你内心平静，故可知，本句是在建议学会原谅，故B选项“然后，原谅那些在过去伤害过你的人”符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Everyone has flaws, but you can concentrate on improving yours. Notice how your behavior and attitude affect others. Are people generally happy or sad around you?(每个人都有缺点，但你可以集中精力改善自己的缺点。注意你的行为和态度如何影响他人。你周围的人通常是快乐还是悲伤？)”可知，空前提到你周围的人通常是快乐的还是悲伤的，空后提到回答这些问题并分析与他们之间的互动可以帮助您发现和完善您的弱点。故可推断，空白处应该与朋友之间的互动有关，故A选项“朋友会向你寻求帮助或建议吗？”符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Not only does cultivating empathy help you be more sensitive toward other people, but it also helps you form lasting relationships and feel less isolated.(培养同理心不仅能帮助你对他人更敏感，还能帮助你建立持久的关系，减少孤独感)”可知，空前所提到的培养同理心不仅能够帮助你对他人更加敏感，还能帮助你建立更加持久的关系，减少孤立感，可是此处是在讲培养同理心的好处，故F选项“同理心可以帮助你在挑战自己观点的同时获得朋友”符合语境，故选F。 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。 A 12-year-old girl’s playground dream has come true, thanks to the kindness of Clearfield City officials who supported her creativity and passion for inclusive play.

Many of us struggle to speak English fluently, primarily due to the fear of making mistakes and sounding imperfect in front of others. This pursuit of perfection often leaves us too nervous to express ourselves freely, trapping our true voice inside. I believe the key is to shift our mindset. We must remember that language is a tool for connection, not a perfect performance. Every mistake is a valuable step in the learning process, not a failure. Progress, not perfection, should be our goal. So, let’s start by practicing in low-pressure situations, like with friends or in an English Corner. Don’t be afraid to stumble. Speak out, make your voice heard, and watch your confidence grow! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。题目要求学生给校英文报投稿，应首先分析学生们在英语口语学习上面临的主要挑战，再分享个人有关英语口语学习的思考。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 表达：express→convey 改变：shift→change, alter 宝贵的：valuable→precious, treasured 增加：grow→increase 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Many of us struggle to speak English fluently primarily due to the fear of making mistakes and sounding imperfect in front of others. 拓展句：Many of us struggle to speak English fluently, primarily because we fear to make mistakes and sound imperfect in front of others. 【点睛】[高分句型1] This pursuit of perfection often leaves us too nervous to express ourselves freely, trapping our true voice inside.

(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor, and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back in its place. As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away, no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished, but, as he had already lied, he decided to deny everything, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Ben’s face turned red as he stared at the chocolate in his hand. His mother gently touched his head and continued, “You glued the vase carefully, which shows you truly cared about making things right.” She paused, her eyes warm and understanding. “But imagination should help us solve problems, not hide from them.” Ben bit his lip, realizing his mother had known the truth all along. Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. He took a deep breath and whispered, “Mom, I’m sorry. I broke the vase while playing basketball and lied to you.” His mother smiled softly, “I’m proud of you for telling the truth. Mistakes happen, but honesty is more precious than any antique.” She handed him another chocolate, “Let’s fix it together tomorrow, okay?” Ben nodded, holding the chocolate tightly, grateful for his mother’s wisdom and love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben不小心打碎了家里的古董花瓶，为了掩盖自己的行为，他撒谎说是邻居的猫跳进窗户打碎了花瓶。母亲发现真相后，没有直接责备和惩罚他，而是用一种智慧的方式引导他承认错误的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“母亲说：‘这颗巧克力是对你想象力的奖励：一只开窗的猫！’”可知，第一段可描写母亲用奖励巧克力的方式回应Ben的谎言，既肯定了他粘花瓶的细心，又委婉指出想象力不应用于逃避问题，让Ben意识到母亲已知晓真相。 ②由第二段首句内容“现在手里拿着一些巧克力，男孩的糟糕态度消失了。”可知，第二段可描写Ben在母亲的引导下，主动承认错误，母亲对他的诚实表示肯定，并提议一起修复花瓶，体现了母亲的智慧与关爱。 2.续写线索： 母亲用巧克力回应谎言——指出问题所在——Ben态度转变并主动承认错误——母亲接纳并提议共同解决——Ben感受到了母亲的关爱与智慧 词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：stare at/gaze at ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③发生：happen/occur ④修理：fix/repair 情感类 ①温柔的：gentle/tender ②温暖的：warm/affectionate ③感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] His mother gently touched his head and continued, “You glued the vase carefully, which shows you truly cared about making things right.”（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰You glued the vase carefully整个句子） [高分句型2] Ben bit his lip, realizing his mother had known the truth all along.（运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语，且其中包含省略了引导词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
