C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了希尔自三岁起梦想成为舞者，虽因事故腰部以下瘫痪，却未放弃，组建轮椅舞蹈队、举办舞蹈营，证明限制取决于心态而非身体状况。 【16题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：2010年，那个志向几乎破灭了。A. initiated发起；B. ended结束，终止；C. withdrew撤回；D. quit放弃。根据前文“Since the age of three, Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer”可知，希尔一直怀揣成为舞者的志向，结合后文“Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, a small city in California, was in an accident that left her paralyzed”可知，希尔遭遇事故瘫痪，这导致她成为舞者的志向终止了，破灭了。故选B项。 【17题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当时17岁的希尔是加利福尼亚州一个小城市太平洋格罗夫的一名高中生，她遭遇了一场事故，导致从腰部以下瘫痪。A. head头；B. knee膝盖；C. waist腰；D. ankle脚踝。根据后文“Hill danced in her wheelchair”和“Half of my body was”可知，她需要借助轮椅活动，通常情况下，腰部以下瘫痪才会需要依靠轮椅行动。故选C项。 【18题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：对大多数人来说，那会摧毁任何舞蹈生涯的希望。A. strengthened加强；B. destroyed摧毁；C. sharpened使锋利；D. dominated支配。从前文可知希尔遭遇事故，腰部以下瘫痪，结合常识，对于有着舞蹈梦想的人来讲，这样的身体状况无疑会摧毁他们的希望，摧毁他们的舞蹈生涯。故选B项。 【19题详解】 考查介词短语辨析。句意：远非成为障碍，她的轮椅赋予了她力量。A. In terms of就……而言；B. Apart from除……之外；C. By virtue of凭借；D. Far from远非。概括后文“her wheelchair empowered her”可知，轮椅不但没成为障碍，反而给她带来了力量。故选D项。 【20题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我想向我的社区——也向我自己——证明我仍然“正常”。A. ensure确保；B. justify证明……正确；C. prove证明；D. classify分类。根据后文“that I was still ‘normal’”可知，希尔希望向社区和自己证明自己依旧是正常的。故选C项。 【21题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：“我的下半身被夺走了，”希尔告诉媒体，“而且这肯定需要大量的学习和耐心。”A. taken away拿走；B. given away赠送；C. put away放好；D. worn away磨损。希尔腰部以下瘫痪，结合句中“Half of my body”可知，她下半身失去了行动能力，即下半身被“拿走”了。故选A项。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“我的下半身被夺走了，”希尔告诉媒体，“而且这肯定需要大量的学习和耐心。”A. patience耐心；B. celebrity名人；C. absence缺席；D. anxiety焦虑。前文表明她腰部以下瘫痪后还坚持在轮椅上跳舞，结合常识可知，下肢瘫痪的希尔重新学习舞蹈必然需要花费大量的时间和耐心。故选A项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：毕业后，希尔决定扩大她的舞蹈圈子，以纳入那些遭受过各种脊髓损伤但和她有同样决心的女性。A. absorb吸收；B. attract吸引；C. expose暴露；D. expand扩大。根据后文“her dance network to include women who had ____ various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries”可知，希尔要让更多有脊髓损伤的女性加入到舞蹈圈子里，也就是扩大这个圈子。故选D项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：毕业后，希尔决定扩大她的舞蹈圈子，以纳入那些遭受过各种脊髓损伤但和她有同样决心的女性。A. subscribed订阅；B. suffered遭受；C. submitted提交；D. settled解决。根据后文“various spinal cord (脊髓) injuries”可知，这些女性是遭受了脊髓损伤。故选B项。 【25题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：毕业后，希尔决定扩大她的舞蹈圈子，以纳入那些遭受过各种脊髓损伤但和她有同样决心的女性。A. definition定义；B. determination决心；C. dimension维度；D. negotiation谈判。前文提到希尔虽瘫痪但未放弃舞蹈梦想，这充分显示出她有坚定的决心，所以这里指的是和她有同样“决心”的女性。故选B项。 【26题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：为了能在更大的城市接触到更多的人，2014年希尔搬到了洛杉矶并组建了Rollettes舞蹈队。A. riper更成熟的；B. remoter更偏远的；C. larger更大的；D. fresher更新鲜的。根据前文“reach more people”和后文“Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014”可知，希尔的目的是接触更多人，通常情况下，更大的城市能容纳更多的人，所以她搬到了更大的城市洛杉矶。故选C项。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我想打破轮椅使用者的刻板印象。A. break through突破；B. break up分手，解散；C. break in闯入；D. break down破除 (障碍、偏见等)。结合前文希尔在轮椅上跳舞以及组建轮椅舞蹈队和后文“the stereotype (模式化的思想)”可推知，希尔的这些行为是想破除人们对轮椅使用者的固有看法。故选D项。 【28题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：Rollettes舞蹈队发现，轮椅舞蹈可以和传统的用脚跳舞一样节奏快、富有艺术性且令人满足。A. operation手术，操作；B. variety(同一事物的) 一些不同种类；C. charity慈善；D. exchange交换。根据“...as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as...”可知，这里是将轮椅舞蹈和传统的用脚跳舞这两种不同的舞蹈种类进行对比。故选B项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在舞蹈比赛中，她们随着节拍摆动身体，在动感的舞步中摆出姿势。A. beats节拍；B. instructions说明；C. chaos混乱；D. directions方向。根据生活常识，跳舞时是要跟着音乐的“节拍”来进行动作的。故选A项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：她们玩得很开心，正如观众的反应所表明的，这种快乐是有感染力的。A. indicate表明；B. decide决定；C. illustrate说明；D. conclude得出结论。根据前文“They’re having fun”和后文“the fun is infectious”可知，她们的快乐传递给了观众，观众的反应表明快乐是具有感染力的。故选A项。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：希尔实现了我们很多人永远无法实现的事情：她儿时的梦想。A. determined决定；B. compensated补偿；C. attained获得，实现；D. adored崇拜。根据前文“Since the age of three, Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer.”和后文“her childhood dream”可知，希尔三岁起就梦想成为舞者，现在她实现了儿时的梦想，这是我们很多人永远无法实现的事情。故选C项。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但Rollettes舞蹈队帮助她找到了其他同样有意义的东西。A. conventional传统的；B. regretful遗憾的；C. controversial有争议的；D. rewarding有意义的，值得的。后文提到她每年举办舞蹈营帮助轮椅使用者，这是非常有意义和价值的事情。故选D项。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：每年她都会为轮椅使用者举办一个舞蹈营，帮助他们找到自己从未见过的内在力量。A. main主要的；B. external外部的；C. inner内在的；D. domestic国内的。根据后文“strength they’ve never seen before”可知，举办舞蹈营能够让轮椅使用者挖掘出自身以前未曾发现的内在力量。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：对很多人来说，这是他们第一次有了社会认同感。A. majority多数；B. stability稳定；C. quantity数量；D. identity身份，认同感。根据前文“In 2019, 173 participants who used to lead restricted lives attended her camp.”可知，很多以前生活受限的轮椅使用者参加她的舞蹈营，参加这样的集体活动会让他们产生社会认同感。故选D项。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：希尔的经历证明，限制并非由身体状况决定，而是由我们选择采用的心态决定。A. mental精神的；B. intellectual智力的；C. physical身体的；D. universal普遍的。前文描述希尔腰部以下瘫痪但仍实现梦想，这说明限制不是由身体状况决定的。故选C项。 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Short Story Competition The V.

I saw myself as a filmmaker, but everyone else only saw me as a clown. This job itself involved hiding my true self; I wore makeup and sometimes even masks to cover my face. For some parties, I had to dress as specific characters. The company would drop off costumes in a trash bag at a CVS parking lot, which felt like a bad drug deal. Instead of getting drugs, I received a smelly costume that had been worn by many failed actors. I would be told to dress as “Mickey Mouse” or “Sponge Bob Square Pants,” but since those are trademarked characters, I had to go as “Ricky Mouse” or “Sponge Guy Short Pants.” One night, I was given a costume to be Batman. At the time, I wore a big mustache, which I thought would be a problem for parents. I decided not to shave because I didn’t want to admit I was more of a clown than an artist. The next day, I parked far from the party site, so the kids wouldn’t see Batman arriving in my PT Cruiser. As I walked towards the party, I worried that my lack of surprise would ruin the experience. As I got closer, I regretted not shaving. When the kids finally saw my face, they burst into laughter, and I felt embarrassed. However, their laughter soon turned into cheers and applause, which surprised me. I started to feel warm and supported, something new for me. Inspired, I decided to make an entrance and began running towards the party, which made the kids cheer even louder. In that moment, I truly felt like Batman. When I arrived, the birthday boy’s dad laughed and said, “I told you, son. Batman has a mustache.” I was confused until I saw the birthday cake, which featured a Batman with a thick black mustache just like mine. The kids had initially laughed at the cake, insisting that Batman didn’t have a mustache, but the dad insisted he just shaves it for movies. My mustache accidentally helped convince the kids that I was the real Batman. That day, I realized I might not have been the hero they expected, but I was the hero they needed. I struggled with my identity as a filmmaker or a clown, but at that moment, I knew I was making a difference in those kids’ lives. 41. Why did the author struggle with his identity while working as a clown? A. The author was embarrassed by his clown costume. B. The author felt defined by others’ perceptions. C.

He fulfilled their expectations in a unique way. C. He provided a unique experience for them. D. He taught them to accept imperfections. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是作者作为小丑在参加一次生日派对时的经历，以及这次经历如何让他对自我身份有了新的认识。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I saw myself as a filmmaker, but everyone else only saw me as a clown.(我把自己看作一个电影制作人，但其他人只把我看作一个小丑。)”可知，作者在做小丑的时候会为自己的身份而挣扎是因为作者觉得自己被别人的看法所定义。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The company would drop off costumes in a trash bag at a CVS parking lot, which felt like a bad drug deal. Instead of getting drugs, I received a smelly costume that had been worn by many failed actors.(该公司会把服装放在CVS停车场的垃圾袋里，感觉就像一笔糟糕的毒品交易。我得到的不是毒品，而是一套有臭味的戏服，那是许多失败的演员穿过的。)”可知，作者对穿着公司提供的服装感到尴尬和厌恶。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I decided not to shave because I didn’t want to admit I was more of a clown than an artist.(我决定不刮胡子，因为我不想承认我更像个小丑而不是艺术家。)”可知，作者在聚会前不刮胡子是为了保持艺术的尊严。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, their laughter soon turned into cheers and applause, which surprised me. I started to feel warm and supported, something new for me. Inspired, I decided to make an entrance and began running towards the party, which made the kids cheer even louder.(然而，他们的笑声很快变成了欢呼和掌声，这让我很惊讶。我开始感到温暖和支持，这对我来说是全新的。受到鼓舞，我决定进场，开始向派对跑去，这让孩子们的欢呼声更响了。)”和第五段“  The kids had initially laughed at the cake, insisting that Batman didn’t have a mustache, but the dad insisted he just shaves it for movies. My mustache accidentally helped convince the kids that I was the real Batman.(孩子们起初嘲笑蛋糕，坚称蝙蝠侠没有胡子，但爸爸坚持说他只是为了看电影才刮胡子。我的胡子意外地让孩子们相信我是真正的蝙蝠侠。)”可知，作者在这两段中描述了他在扮演蝙蝠侠时的经历。起初，孩子们看到他的大胡子时大笑，这让他感到尴尬。然而，随着他的表演和互动，孩子们的笑声逐渐转变为欢呼和掌声，作者感到温暖和支持。尽管一开始的嘲笑可能会让人感到不适，但通过真诚的互动，笑声可以转化为真正的支持和认可。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I struggled with my identity as a filmmaker or a clown, but at that moment, I knew I was making a difference in those kids’ lives.(我曾在电影制作人和小丑这两种身份之间挣扎，但在那一刻，我知道我正在为那些孩子的生活带来改变。)”可知，作者在最后一段说他是“他们需要的英雄”的意思是他以一种独特的方式满足了他们的期望。故选B。 C Psychiatrists (精神病专家), who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset (资产) in child raising — older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children. But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream. Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.” Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says. Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.” 46. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising? A. Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C. Older parents are often better prepared financially. D. Older parents can take better care of their children. 47. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”？ A. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age. B. They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years. C. They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of. D. They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age. 48. The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______. A. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age B. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies D. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children 49. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst? A. Being laughed at by other people B. Slowing down of their pace of life C. Being mistaken for grandparents D. Approaching of death 50. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen? A. They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment. B. Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family. C. They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter. D. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大家关于“精神病学家认为年长父母对于抚养孩子会更有优势”这一观点的各自的看法和见解。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Psychiatrists (精神病专家), who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset(资产) in child raising — older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children.（与年长父母合作精神病专家认为，成熟对于教养孩子这件事是一项优势——年长的父母更体贴，较少使用体罚，花更多的时间与孩子在一起。）”可知，精神病学家认为成熟是优势是因为年长的父母能更好地照顾孩子，故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.（一个经济学教授说道：“晚育孩子通常意味着父母会更晚退休，尤其是对父亲来说”。对很多人说来，退休就变成了一个无法得到的梦想。）”可知，划线句前文对划线句进行了解释，“晚育会令父母更晚些时候退休”，也就是到了退休年纪，而不得不继续工作挣钱，故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first.（54岁的记者Henry Metcalf知道，养孩子会花很多钱。但是他同样担心他首先可能会精力不足。）”可知，作者用Henry Metcalf作为例子，主要是为了说明，年长的父母可能更担心的是自己衰老的身体，故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“‘They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.’ Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says.（纽约的心理学家Joann Galst说道：“他们会担心自己被认作祖父母，或者他们需要帮助才能从椅子上站起来。但是在这些担心中，他们主要担心的是，他们无法活足够长的时间来养活和保护自己的孩子”。）”可知，年长父母最大的担忧就是他们可能快接近死亡，而没有足够多的时间来养活孩子，故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最有一段“The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, ‘a sense of family.’（这对双胞胎给与了这对夫妇多年来渴望的“家庭的感觉”。）”可知，对于Marilyn and Randy Nolen，直到他们生下这对双胞胎，他们才有了“家庭的归属感”，才感觉自己组建了家庭，故选B。 D Anybody can write. I believe it as much as I believe that nobody is boring. Are people writing more? I believe so. There is a lot of writing going on. All kinds of writing — amateur writing, professional writing, creative writing, boring writing, etc. Enthusiastic reader is hardly a thing anymore. Storyteller, published author and productive blogger are words that decorate people’s bio more often. The trend of listing what one is reading has been replaced by listing self-authored articles. Reading is unavoidable. Reading generates the road map for a society’s progress. But then why write? The most substantial reason could be ease of Expression, Record, and Reach. Enabled by present-day technology, the ease of Record (digitally saved forever) and Reach (to readers anywhere in the world) are undoubtedly the more straightforward motivations to write. But ease of Expression? We perhaps partly owe that to technology too. The social shaping (e. g. messaging behaviors) caused by technology has resulted in the breakdown of structures and rules of writing to a great extent, if not entirely, thus freeing up the technique of writing like music and art. Consequently, writing in all forms (short-long), structures (words-graphics-sound), and shapes (books-blogs-posts-tweets-open letters) has appeared like a movement. Writing is a promise, It is a promise to deliver not just pleasure, information, or inspiration; it is a promise to care. Writing can be intrusive (侵扰的). It can even be rude, as Joan Didion puts it in her essay Why I Write. The readers are the victims of the writer’s thoughts and views. But that’s how writers challenge the readers to think, look around and push back. Even after we have managed to ease the disciplinary demands of good literature, it still wouldn’t take the pain away from writing because thinking is the pain point of writing. We have to make things up or think about things we see. One could be as local, raw, and not remain preoccupied with presenting a stylized piece of sentence and still find a platform to write. But let us ensure we don’t ever give up thinking and never make writing completely painless. 51. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1? A. Writing has become more popular. B. People no longer enjoy reading books. C. Readers are uninterested in others’ reading lists. D. Listing self-authored articles is a new form of social networking. 52. How has technology influenced writing? A. It has made writing more structured and formal. B It has strengthened the bonds between writing and art. C. It has made writing more accessible and diverse. D. It has decreased the number of professional writers. 53. What is the ultimate purpose of writing according to Joan Didion? A. To entertain and amuse readers. B. To deliver the latest information. C. To impress readers with literary skills. D. To inspire readers to form new thoughts. 54. What does the author expect of writing? A. The challenges of thinking should be valued. B. There will be various platforms to choose from. C. There will be more works focusing on pain in life. D. The disciplinary demands of good literature will stay. 55. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. The relationship between reading and writing. B. The influence of technology on writing. C. The various forms and trends of modern writing. D. The reasons and nature of writing in modern society. 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述写作在现代社会中的变化、技术对写作的影响、写作的本质（如表达、挑战读者思考）以及作者对写作的期望（强调思考的重要性）。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Anybody can write. I believe it as much as I believe that nobody is boring. Are people writing more? I believe so. There is a lot of writing going on. All kinds of writing — amateur writing, professional writing, creative writing, boring writing, etc. Enthusiastic reader is hardly a thing anymore. Storyteller, published author and productive blogger are words that decorate people’s bio more often. The trend of listing what one is reading has been replaced by listing self-authored articles.(任何人都能写作。我坚信这一点，就如同我坚信没有人是乏味的那样。人们是不是在写更多的东西呢？我认为是这样的。有大量的写作活动正在进行。各种各样的写作——业余写作、专业写作、创意写作、乏味的写作等等。热情的读者这个概念已经不复存在了。讲故事的人、已出版的作者和有产出的博主这些词汇在人们个人简介中出现的频率越来越高。列出自己正在阅读的内容这一趋势已经被列出自己创作的文章这一趋势所取代)”可知，第一段描述的是写作变得越来越流行了。故选A。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Enabled by present-day technology, the ease of Record (digitally saved forever) and Reach (to readers anywhere in the world) are undoubtedly the more straightforward motivations to write.(借助当今的技术，记录（以数字化形式永久保存）的便捷性以及传播（面向全球任何地方的读者）的便利性无疑成为了人们写作的更为直接的动机)”以及“Consequently, writing in all forms (short-long), structures (words-graphics-sound), and shapes (books-blogs-posts-tweets-open letters) has appeared like a movement.(因此，各种形式的写作（长短不一）、不同的结构（文字、图形、声音）以及不同的形式（书籍、博客、帖子、推文、公开信）就像一场运动一样涌现出来)”可知，技术使写作变得更加容易且更加多样化。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It can even be rude, as Joan Didion puts it in her essay Why I Write. The readers are the victims of the writer’s thoughts and views. But that’s how writers challenge the readers to think, look around and push back.(它甚至可能显得很粗鲁，正如琼·迪登在其《我为何写作》一文中所言。读者实际上是作者思想和观点的“受害者”。但正是这种形式让作家促使读者去思考、观察周围环境并做出回应)”可知，写作的最终目的是激励读者产生新的想法。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But let us ensure we don’t ever give up thinking and never make writing completely painless.(但让我们务必确保自己永远不要停止思考，也永远不要让写作变得毫无难度)”可知，作者期望应当重视思考过程中所面临的挑战。故选A。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第1段（写作流行现象）、第2段（技术影响如表达、记录和触及）、第3段（写作本质为挑战思考）和第4段（作者期望重视思考）可推知文章核心是现代社会写作的原因（如技术推动）和本质（如表达和思考），可知，D选项“现代社会中写作的原因及本质”最能概括这篇文章的主要观点。故选D。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Everyone told me not to bother applying to medical school. People “like me,” just didn’t go to university, let alone become a doctor. I am deafblind. Until the age of 16 I was training on the GB Swimming Team to participate in the London 2012 Paralympics, when in summer 2010 the surgery on my stomach went terribly wrong. I ended up bedridden in hospital for a year and a half, needing to have another 20 stomach surgeries. My swimming career was over. However, it was during that time of being a patient that my experience strengthened my desire to become a doctor. But getting to that point hasn’t been smooth. I had to restart education and life. I studied by myself for my A-levels and attended a special educational needs school for blind students. Against the suggestions of others, I applied to a medical school and unexpectedly got an offer. But just before moving in, I was informed that they had changed their mind. I could have given up at this point. But a determination to give it one last shot led me to apply again. This time I obtained a place at Cardiff School of Medicine, where I’ve become the first deafblind student to be training towards becoming a doctor here in the UK. Life certainly has its ups and downs, but I try to face all the challenges with a positive attitude and a forward focus. I’ve suffered, and continue to suffer a lot of discrimination though. “Imagine you’re a patient. Would you allow a disabled doctor to treat you?” some people once laughed at me. Another time, when I asked someone to speak louder so that I could hear, he walked away and whispered to his friend, “How do you expect an invalid like her to run the NHS (National Health Service)?” It’s discouraging, but I’m continuing to push through. 56. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What led to the end of the author’s swimming career? (no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 58 What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What does the author do in the face of discrimination? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Would you allow a doctor like the author to treat you? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. A disabled person. 57. A wrong stomach surgery. 58. The author’s struggle to enter medical school. 59. She faces it positively and keeps pushing through. 60. Yes. Because her determination and ability make her a qualified doctor. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了身兼失聪与失明的作者，在游泳生涯因手术意外终止后，克服重重困难申请医学院，最终成为英国首位朝着医生方向培训的聋盲学生，并以积极态度面对歧视的人生经历。 【56题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段中的““Imagine you’re a patient. Would you allow a disabled doctor to treat you?’ some people once laughed at me. Another time, when I asked someone to speak louder so that I could hear, he walked away and whispered to his friend, ‘How do you expect an invalid like her to run the NHS?”(“想象一下你是病人。你会允许一个残疾医生治疗你吗？” 有些人曾经这样嘲笑我。还有一次，当我请别人说话大声点好让我听见时，他走开了，对他的朋友小声说：“你怎么能指望像她这样的invalid来管理国民医疗服务体系呢？”)” 可知，前文提到作者是残疾人士，此处别人的话语是在嘲讽作者的残疾状态，由此猜测 invalid 意为“残疾人”。故填A disabled person. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Until the age of 16 I was training on the GB Swimming Team to participate in the London 2012 Paralympics, when in summer 2010 the surgery on my stomach went terribly wrong. I ended up bedridden in hospital for a year and a half, needing to have another 20 stomach surgeries. My swimming career was over.(直到16岁，我一直在英国游泳队接受训练，准备参加2012年伦敦残奥会。2010年夏天，我的胃部手术出了严重问题。我最终卧病在床一年半，还需要再做20次胃部手术。我的游泳生涯就此结束了)”可知，是一次失败的胃部手术导致作者的游泳生涯终止。故填A wrong stomach surgery. 【58题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第二段“However, it was during that time of being a patient that my experience strengthened my desire to become a doctor. But getting to that point hasn’t been smooth. I had to restart education and life. I studied by myself for my A-levels and attended a special educational needs school for blind students. Against the suggestions of others, I applied to a medical school and unexpectedly got an offer. But just before moving in, I was informed that they had changed their mind. I could have given up at this point. But a determination to give it one last shot led me to apply again. This time I obtained a place at Cardiff School of Medicine, where I’ve become the first deafblind student to be training towards becoming a doctor here in the UK.(然而，正是在当病人的那段时间里，我的经历增强了我成为一名医生的愿望。但实现这一目标并非一帆风顺。我不得不重新开始教育和生活。我自学了A -level考试，并在一所专为盲人学生开设的特殊教育学校上学。我不顾别人的建议，申请了一所医学院，并意外地被录取了。但就在搬进来之前，我被告知他们改变了主意。我本可以在这个时候放弃的。但最后一次尝试的决心促使我再次申请。这一次，我在卡迪夫医学院获得了一个名额，在那里，我成为了英国第一个接受医生培训的聋盲学生)”可知，该段主要讲述了作者在病中坚定了当医生的愿望，之后重启教育，自学备考，两次申请医学院，最终成功进入卡迪夫医学院的经历，核心是作者克服困难进入医学院的过程。故填The author’s struggle to enter medical school. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Life certainly has its ups and downs, but I try to face all the challenges with a positive attitude and a forward focus. It’s discouraging, but I’m continuing to push through.(生活当然有起起落落，但我努力以积极的态度和向前看的心态面对所有挑战。这很令人沮丧，但我仍在继续坚持下去)”可知，面对歧视，作者会积极面对并坚持下去。故填She faces it positively and keeps pushing through. 【60题详解】 开放问答题。本题为开放性问题，可结合文章主旨表达观点。例如可回答：Yes. Because her determination and ability make her a qualified doctor.（答案不唯一，符合要求即可） 76.第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 圣诞与新年将至，你作为晨光中学的李津，给刚上大学的笔友Chris写一封信，向对方咨询大学专业的相关建议。信的内容包括： 1.向Chris送上节日的祝福与问候并分享自己的新年愿望（考上理想的大学）； 2.询问Chris当初选择专业的依据（兴趣、规划等）； 3.说明自己目前倾向的专业及选择理由（如兴趣、父母意愿、就业前景等），请对方给出建议。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当补充细节，使内容自然连贯； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes, Lijin 【答案】Dear Chris, Christmas and the New Year are drawing near.

B In my first year living in Los Angeles, I worked as a birthday-party clown. which made me struggle with my identity. I saw myself as a filmmaker, but everyone else only saw me as a clown. This job itself involved hiding my true self; I wore makeup and sometimes even masks to cover my face. For some parties, I had to dress as specific characters. The company would drop off costumes in a trash bag at a CVS parking lot, which felt like a bad drug deal. Instead of getting drugs, I received a smelly costume that had been worn by many failed actors. I would be told to dress as “Mickey Mouse” or “Sponge Bob Square Pants,” but since those are trademarked characters, I had to go as “Ricky Mouse” or “Sponge Guy Short Pants.” One night, I was given a costume to be Batman. At the time, I wore a big mustache, which I thought would be a problem for parents. I decided not to shave because I didn’t want to admit I was more of a clown than an artist. The next day, I parked far from the party site, so the kids wouldn’t see Batman arriving in my PT Cruiser. As I walked towards the party, I worried that my lack of surprise would ruin the experience. As I got closer, I regretted not shaving. When the kids finally saw my face, they burst into laughter, and I felt embarrassed. However, their laughter soon turned into cheers and applause, which surprised me. I started to feel warm and supported, something new for me. Inspired, I decided to make an entrance and began running towards the party, which made the kids cheer even louder. In that moment, I truly felt like Batman. When I arrived, the birthday boy’s dad laughed and said, “I told you, son. Batman has a mustache.” I was confused until I saw the birthday cake, which featured a Batman with a thick black mustache just like mine. The kids had initially laughed at the cake, insisting that Batman didn’t have a mustache, but the dad insisted he just shaves it for movies. My mustache accidentally helped convince the kids that I was the real Batman. That day, I realized I might not have been the hero they expected, but I was the hero they needed. I struggled with my identity as a filmmaker or a clown, but at that moment, I knew I was making a difference in those kids’ lives. 41.

C Psychiatrists (精神病专家), who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset (资产) in child raising — older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children. But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream. Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.” Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says. Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.” 46. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising? A. Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C. Older parents are often better prepared financially. D. Older parents can take better care of their children. 47. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”？ A. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age. B. They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years. C. They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of. D. They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age. 48. The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______. A. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age B. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies D. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children 49 What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst? A. Being laughed at by other people B. Slowing down of their pace of life C. Being mistaken for grandparents D. Approaching of death 50. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen? A. They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment. B. Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family. C. They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter. D. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children. D Anybody can write. I believe it as much as I believe that nobody is boring. Are people writing more? I believe so. There is a lot of writing going on. All kinds of writing — amateur writing, professional writing, creative writing, boring writing, etc. Enthusiastic reader is hardly a thing anymore. Storyteller, published author and productive blogger are words that decorate people’s bio more often. The trend of listing what one is reading has been replaced by listing self-authored articles. Reading is unavoidable. Reading generates the road map for a society’s progress. But then why write? The most substantial reason could be ease of Expression, Record, and Reach. Enabled by present-day technology, the ease of Record (digitally saved forever) and Reach (to readers anywhere in the world) are undoubtedly the more straightforward motivations to write. But ease of Expression? We perhaps partly owe that to technology too. The social shaping (e. g. messaging behaviors) caused by technology has resulted in the breakdown of structures and rules of writing to a great extent, if not entirely, thus freeing up the technique of writing like music and art. Consequently, writing in all forms (short-long), structures (words-graphics-sound), and shapes (books-blogs-posts-tweets-open letters) has appeared like a movement. Writing is a promise, It is a promise to deliver not just pleasure, information, or inspiration; it is a promise to care. Writing can be intrusive (侵扰的). It can even be rude, as Joan Didion puts it in her essay Why I Write. The readers are the victims of the writer’s thoughts and views. But that’s how writers challenge the readers to think, look around and push back. Even after we have managed to ease the disciplinary demands of good literature, it still wouldn’t take the pain away from writing because thinking is the pain point of writing. We have to make things up or think about things we see. One could be as local, raw, and not remain preoccupied with presenting a stylized piece of sentence and still find a platform to write. But let us ensure we don’t ever give up thinking and never make writing completely painless. 51. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1? A. Writing has become more popular. B People no longer enjoy reading books. C. Readers are uninterested in others’ reading lists. D. Listing self-authored articles is a new form of social networking. 52. How has technology influenced writing? A. It has made writing more structured and formal. B. It has strengthened the bonds between writing and art. C. It has made writing more accessible and diverse. D. It has decreased the number of professional writers. 53. What is the ultimate purpose of writing according to Joan Didion? A. To entertain and amuse readers. B. To deliver the latest information. C. To impress readers with literary skills. D. To inspire readers to form new thoughts. 54. What does the author expect of writing? A. The challenges of thinking should be valued. B. There will be various platforms to choose from. C. There will be more works focusing on pain in life. D. The disciplinary demands of good literature will stay. 55. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. The relationship between reading and writing. B. The influence of technology on writing. C. The various forms and trends of modern writing. D. The reasons and nature of writing in modern society. 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Everyone told me not to bother applying to medical school. People “like me,” just didn’t go to university, let alone become a doctor. I am deafblind. Until the age of 16 I was training on the GB Swimming Team to participate in the London 2012 Paralympics, when in summer 2010 the surgery on my stomach went terribly wrong. I ended up bedridden in hospital for a year and a half, needing to have another 20 stomach surgeries. My swimming career was over. However, it was during that time of being a patient that my experience strengthened my desire to become a doctor. But getting to that point hasn’t been smooth. I had to restart education and life. I studied by myself for my A-levels and attended a special educational needs school for blind students. Against the suggestions of others, I applied to a medical school and unexpectedly got an offer. But just before moving in, I was informed that they had changed their mind. I could have given up at this point. But a determination to give it one last shot led me to apply again. This time I obtained a place at Cardiff School of Medicine, where I’ve become the first deafblind student to be training towards becoming a doctor here in the UK. Life certainly has its ups and downs, but I try to face all the challenges with a positive attitude and a forward focus. I’ve suffered, and continue to suffer a lot of discrimination though. “Imagine you’re a patient. Would you allow a disabled doctor to treat you?” some people once laughed at me. Another time, when I asked someone to speak louder so that I could hear, he walked away and whispered to his friend, “How do you expect an invalid like her to run the NHS (National Health Service)?” It’s discouraging, but I’m continuing to push through. 56.
