I had three grades of little people in my class, all beaming with the desire to learn all they could. One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others. His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease—leukemia. More often than not, he would be missing from our classroom for rounds of treatments. All of us were so pleased, then, to have that happy little boy with us for Christmas. We decorated our classroom, practised for the concert, and prepared Christmas stories to share. Two days before school let out for the three-week Christmas holiday, I read a story to the class. It was the story of “The Littlest Angel”. This little angel had an awful time in heaven. He could not adjust to the routine. He was always in trouble, bumping into other angels, tripping over clouds or dropping his halo. Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him. Just a few things to remind him of his good old days, which might be of some help. As I read the story, a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in the plight of the angel. Everyone was sympathetic for his misfortune, including David. The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck.” Even before he told us the purpose of the box, we all seemed to know. Shiny tears went dot-to-dot down the faces of the other children. The rest of the day witnessed all of us carefully preparing items to fill David’s wooden box. When the holidays came to a close, we all returned to our class—all except David. He had got a good chance and left for a big city to get better treatment, clutching the wooden box that held his hope and memories, and ours. 4. What can we learn about David from the first paragraph? A. His attractive smile impressed his teacher a lot. B. Though seriously ill, he was passionate to learn. C. His disease prevented him from going to school. D. Though looking normal,he suffered from a fatal disease. 5. What does the underlined part “the plight” refer to? A. The past time. B. The promising future. C. The awful situation. D. The daily routine. 6. Why did David prepare a wooden box? A. To share his items. B. To help the little angel. C. To treat his disease. D. To hold the good memories. 7. Which of the following best describes David? A. Intelligent and diligent. B. Sociable and adventurous. C. Strong-willed and ambitious. D. Optimistic and courageous. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者班上的“小天使”的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others. His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease—leukemia.(我一年级班上一个叫大卫的小男孩比其他所有的人都想学得更多。他那肿胀的圆脸会朝我微笑，一遍又一遍地提醒我他的病——白血病。)”可知，David比所有的人都想学的更多，但是他患上白血病，由此可知，David虽然病得很重，但他对学习充满热情。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“This little angel had an awful time in heaven. He could not adjust to the routine. He was always in trouble, bumping into other angels, tripping over clouds or dropping his halo.(这个小天使在天堂过得很糟糕。他不能适应这种例行公事。他总是遇到麻烦，撞到其他天使，被云绊倒，或者掉下他的光环。)”可知，小天使在天堂上遇到很多的麻烦，境遇很糟糕，结合划线单词前的“As I read the story, a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in…(当我读到这个故事的时候，全班鸦雀无声，每个孩子都更加关注着……。)”可知，作者读完小天使的故事，孩子们都关注着的应是小天使的“困境”，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“困境”意义相近。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him. Just a few things to remind him of his good old days, which might be of some help.(似乎没有什么能让他的日子好过些，直到有一天，一位大天使建议小天使带走一些东西。只是一些能让他想起过去美好时光的东西，也许会有所帮助。)”可知，作者讲述的小天使的故事中，大天使建议小天使带走一些让他想起过去美好时光的东西，结合倒数第二段中的“The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck.”(第二天，在我们的常规展示时间，大卫拿着一个小木盒开始分享，“这是我的第一颗牙齿，”他解释道。“这是我妹妹头发上的丝带，这是我小狗的项圈。我爸爸给了我一把旧钥匙。我妈妈说这个大硬币代表好运。”)”可知，David带来的盒子里都是一些让他能想起的过去美好时光的东西，由此可知，David准备一个木盒子是为了留住美好的回忆。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease—leukemia.(他那肿胀的圆脸会朝我微笑，一遍又一遍地提醒我他的病——白血病。)”可知，David患上白血病仍然对着作者微笑，说明David是一个乐观的孩子，结合倒数第二段中的“The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck. 第二天，在我们的常规展示时间，大卫拿着一个小木盒开始分享，“这是我的第一颗牙齿，”他解释道。“这是我妹妹头发上的丝带，这是我小狗的项圈。我爸爸给了我一把旧钥匙。我妈妈说这个大硬币代表好运。”)”可知，作者讲述完“小天使”的故事后，第二天David准备了一个小木盒与大家分享他的美好回忆，由此可知，在David知道自己患有重病，也许会离开大家，他仍能够勇敢面对，综上信息可知，David是一个乐观而又有勇气的孩子。故选D项。 C Trees don’t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush(苍翠的) environment reveals itself. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected. Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect. According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on. In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter, the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green. On average cities are typically 1.8 to 5.4F warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators(授粉媒介). Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news. “With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help relieve the urban heating effect in cities.” 8. What is the purpose of the text? A. To reveal how trees survive bitter winters. B. To warn how human activities disturb nature. C. To explain why trees turn green earlier in cities. D. To clarify how trees turning green earlier benefits cities. 9. How did the scientists conduct their research? A. Bringing out urban heat island effect. B. Comparing the green-up time in sample cities. C. Allowing the city environment to reveal itself. D. Developing pictures shot by the satellite. 10. Which of the following elements contributes to trees turning green earlier? A. Plant pollinators. B. Water cycle. C. Road signs. D. Street lamps. 11. In which section of a website can the text be found? A. Environment. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Business. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了最近的一项研究着眼于为什么城市中的树木比预期的更早变绿，解释了研究开展的过程，以及说明了城市中的树木更早变绿的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Trees don’t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush (苍翠的) environment reveals itself. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected.(树木不看日历看春天什么时候来，但它们似乎比我们更清楚春天什么时候来。每年冬去春来，看着树叶变绿，郁郁葱葱的环境展现出来，这是一件令人惊叹的事情。最近的一项研究着眼于为什么城市中的树木比预期的更早变绿)”结合文章主要说明了最近的一项研究着眼于为什么城市中的树木比预期的更早变绿，解释了研究开展的过程，以及说明了城市中的树木更早变绿的原因。可推知，文章的目的是解释为什么城市里的树变绿得早。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“By comparing spring green-ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect.(通过比较美国85个最大城市的春季绿化情况，科学家发现，由于人工照明和城市热效应的共同作用，城市树木平均提前9天开始变绿)”可知，科学家们通过比较样本城市的树木开始变绿的时间进行研究。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on.(根据研究结果，其中一个原因是人造光。城市的灯光照亮了夜空，道路上的广告牌和汽车的前灯都有助于改变植物和树木所依赖的正常的昼夜循环)”可知，路灯（属于人造光）导致树木提早变绿。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect.(科学家们利用卫星图像来观察植物何时变绿。通过比较美国85个最大城市的春天变绿，科学家们发现，由于人工照明和城市热效应的共同作用，城市里的树木平均提前9天开始变绿)”结合文章主要说明了最近的一项研究着眼于为什么城市中的树木比预期的更早变绿，解释了研究开展的过程，以及说明了城市中的树木更早变绿的原因。可推知，文章选自网站的“环境”部分。故选A。 D Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late — that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found. So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends? And why is it so hard for us to fix it? “There are all sorts of punishments for being late, and the paradox is that we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University. One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take-something known as the planning fallacy (谬误). Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent. Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. In a 2003 study run by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you’re doing. Conte also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly strung (紧张不安), achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual. Type B individuals, however, who are more laid-back (漫不经心), have a higher chance to be late. Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn’t necessarily help fix the problem. But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change. 12. What does the underlined word “paradox” mean in paragraph 2? A. Strategy. B. Argument. C. Solution. D. Puzzle. 13. What is a possible feature of forever-late-comers? A. They plan to spend more time on a task. B. They tackle more than one task at a time. C. They suffer from concentration difficulties. D. They have high expectations for achievements. 14. Which advice can be given to people who are always late? A. Learn to accept who you are. B. Change your personality type. C Divide a task into smaller ones. D. Keep to the timetable accurately. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Some People Are Always Late B. How to Improve Punctuality Now C. Type A vs. Type B Personalities D. Punishments for Being Late 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有些人总是迟到的原因及改善建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““There are all sorts of punishments for being late, and the paradox is that we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University.(纽约大学社会心理学家Justin Kruger表示：“对于迟到，有各种各样的惩罚，paradox，即使存在这些惩罚和后果，我们还是会迟到。”)”可知，即使有惩罚和后果，人们还是会迟到，这让人感到困惑不解，所以paradox意思是“令人困惑的事情”，与Puzzle意思相近。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers.(另一个特点是，总是迟到的人更有可能同时处理多项任务。)”可知，总是迟到的人的一个可能特征是他们同时处理多项任务。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately.(对于那些总是低估任务的人来说，将一项活动分解成详细的步骤可以帮助人们更准确地估计完成某件事需要多长时间。)”可知，对于总是迟到的人，建议是把任务分解成更小的部分。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late-that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found.(偶尔迟到几次，人人都可能发生；但要成为一个总爱迟到的人 —— 这可算得上是一门艺术，一门让人抓狂的艺术。不过科学家发现，这也可能是你性格特质所引发的一种副作用。)”和第二段中“So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends? And why is it so hard for us to fix it?(那么，究竟是什么原因，让有些人总是赶不上火车、参加婚礼时偏偏在新娘出场后才姗姗来迟，还频频惹朋友不快？又为什么，我们想要改掉这个毛病却如此困难？)”可知，文章主要探讨了为什么有些人总是迟到。因此，A选项“Why Some People Are Always Late(为什么有些人总是迟到)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 第二节 （共5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。 Ask anyone how they’re feeling these days and chances are that they’ll reply with some version of “exhausted”. We’re tired of operating amid uncertainty. We’re tired of balancing childcare with work. ____16____ They direct our focus to the most readily available information to help us make decisions quickly without properly considering all the variables. The result is that we are wired to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. ____17____ They default (默认) to what feels “normal”. Those networks are so deep in our thinking that when we’re traveling a new and challenging path, our wheels default back to the worn-in grooves (凹槽). So, how do we do hard things when our brains are constantly telling us to avoid effort? ____18____ A 2016 study found that when people are upset, they’re less likely to try to do hard things. When they’re feeling upbeat, however, they’re more likely to take on the hard-but-essential tasks that ultimately make life better. One way we can get ourselves in the right mindset is to do what’s called “reappraisal”, in which we create a shift in our brains of how we perceive a task. Moreover, we must give our brains the right amount of autonomy. When we have a choice, our brains often want to programme something easy. ____19____ Put it into a work context: Do I want to experiment with a new project management tool that might make things easier for my team next week, or do I want to stick with the same sheet that a former employee established that none of us feel great about anyway? ____20____ But by understanding what’s going on in your brain, you can work toward accomplishing hard things and manage your fears better. A. Tackle them when we’re in a good mood. B. Doing things like hard work can seem abnormal. C. Our brains label effort as bad because it’s hard work. D. We should be creative and open-minded when doing tasks. E. This is called mindset fault, the tendency to do right things. F. When we feel like this, our brains want to save mental energy. G. But we can reduce the response by challenging ourselves to be innovative. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文从科学的角度分析了为什么人们有畏难情绪，并且给出了相应的解决措施。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Ask anyone how they’re feeling these days and chances are that they’ll reply with some version of “exhausted”. We’re tired of operating amid uncertainty. We’re tired of balancing childcare with work.(问任何人最近感觉如何，他们很可能会回答某种形式的“筋疲力尽”。我们厌倦了在不确定的情况下运作。我们厌倦了平衡照顾孩子和工作)”以及后文“They direct our focus to the most readily available information to help us make decisions quickly without properly considering all the variables.(它们将我们的注意力引导到最容易获得的信息上，以帮助我们快速做出决定，而无需适当地考虑所有变量)”可知，上文提到大脑有厌倦感，可推知本句承接上文，解释为什么会有这种感觉。故F选项“当我们有这种感觉时，我们的大脑想要保存精神能量”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“They default (默认) to what feels “normal”. Those networks are so deep in our thinking that when we’re traveling a new and challenging path, our wheels default back to the worn-in grooves (凹槽). So, how do we do hard things when our brains are constantly telling us to avoid effort?(他们默认感觉“正常”。这些网络在我们的思维中如此之深，以至于当我们走在一条新的、充满挑战的道路上时，我们的车轮默认回到了磨损的凹槽。那么，当我们的大脑不断告诉我们要避免努力时，我们如何去做困难的事情呢？)”可知，后文提到大脑会告知我们避免努力，本句说明原因。故C选项“我们的大脑认为努力是不好的，因为它是辛苦的工作”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文“A 2016 study found that when people are upset, they’re less likely to try to do hard things. When they’re feeling upbeat, however, they’re more likely to take on the hard-but-essential tasks that ultimately make life better. One way we can get ourselves in the right mindset is to do what’s called “reappraisal”, in which we create a shift in our brains of how we perceive a task.(2016年的一项研究发现，当人们感到沮丧时，他们不太可能尝试去做困难的事情。然而，当他们感到乐观时，他们更有可能承担那些艰难但重要的任务，最终使生活变得更好。让自己进入正确心态的一种方法是做所谓的“重新评估”，在这个过程中，我们在大脑中创造一个我们如何看待任务的转变)”可知，后文的研究表明，在乐观的心态下更有可能承担那些艰难但重要的任务，最终使生活变得更好，说明要在积极的心态下去处理困难的任务。故A选项“当我们心情好的时候处理它们”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Moreover, we must give our brains the right amount of autonomy. When we have a choice, our brains often want to programme something easy.(此外，我们必须给我们的大脑适当的自主权。当我们有选择的时候，我们的大脑通常会选择一些简单的东西)”以及后文“Put it into a work context: Do I want to experiment with a new project management tool that might make things easier for my team next week, or do I want to stick with the same sheet that a former employee established that none of us feel great about anyway?(把它放在工作环境中：我是想尝试一个新的项目管理工具，这可能会让我的团队下周的工作变得更容易，还是想坚持使用一个前员工建立的、我们都不太喜欢的表格？)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出大脑喜欢选择简单的东西，但是可以采取方法来减少这种倾向。故G选项“但是我们可以通过挑战自己的创新来减少这种反应”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据后文“But by understanding what’s going on in your brain, you can work toward accomplishing hard things and manage your fears better.(但是通过了解你的大脑中发生了什么，你可以努力完成困难的事情，更好地管理你的恐惧)”可知，后文提到了解大脑可以让我们完成困难的事情，可知后文与本句为转折关系，推测本句是在说明完成困难的工作在大脑看来不太寻常。故B选项“做艰苦的工作看起来不正常”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15题；每小题1分，满分15分） I’m a teacher at a local high school.

Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.” The students fell silent, realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully. For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little. One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.” A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 David and his classmates quickly got to work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 David and his classmates quickly got to work. They spent days practicing the skill, determined to perfect it for the exhibition. David, who was in charge of organizing, contacted local media and invited community members. He knew that if they could show the beauty and history of su filindeu, people would appreciate it. On the day of the exhibition, the students demonstrated the process, explaining its significance. Many visitors were amazed by the skill, realizing that traditions like this should not be lost. The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. She announced that the school board had decided to keep the class after seeing the positive response from the exhibition. “You’ve shown everyone the value of preserving traditions,” she said proudly. David and his classmates cheered, feeling a sense of accomplishment. They knew that their hard work had made a difference and that they had played a part in saving a piece of history. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。大卫和同学们在桑德拉老师的指导下学习制作意大利传统手工面食su filindeu。但校董事会认为该课程不实用要取消。大卫提议举办展览展示其价值。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首“大卫和他的同学们很快就开始工作了。”可知，第一段写大卫和同学们为展览做准备，包括练习技艺、联系媒体和邀请社区成员等，突出他们的努力和决心。 ②由第二段句首“展览结束后的第二天，桑德拉微笑着走进教室。”可知，第二段写桑德拉老师宣布好消息，即校董事会因展览的积极反响决定保留课程，同学们欢呼，体现他们的成就感以及保护传统技艺的意义。 2.续写线索：开始工作——同学们努力练习——展览当天展示技艺——展览成功——桑德拉微笑着走进教室——校董事会决定保留课程——同学们感到自豪和有成就感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 练习技艺：practice the skill/exercise the skill ② 负责：be in charge of/take charge of ③ 联系媒体：contact local media/get in touch with local media 情绪类 ① 惊讶：amazed/surprised/astonished ② 自豪地：proud/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】David, who was in charge of organizing, contacted local media and invited community members.

B It was the winter when I taught in a small country school on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I had three grades of little people in my class all beaming with the desire to learn all they could. One little boy named David from my grade one class wanted to learn more than all the others. His round swollen face would smile up at me, reminding me over and over of his disease—leukemia. More often than not, he would be missing from our classroom for rounds of treatments. All of us were so pleased, then, to have that happy little boy with us for Christmas. We decorated our classroom, practised for the concert, and prepared Christmas stories to share. Two days before school let out for the three-week Christmas holiday, I read a story to the class. It was the story of “The Littlest Angel”. This little angel had an awful time in heaven. He could not adjust to the routine. He was always in trouble, bumping into other angels, tripping over clouds or dropping his halo. Nothing seemed to make his time easier until one celestial day an archangel suggested that the little angel take some items with him. Just a few things to remind him of his good old days, which might be of some help. As I read the story, a complete silence fell over the class as each child became more involved in the plight of the angel. Everyone was sympathetic for his misfortune, including David. The following day during our regular show-and-tell time, holding a small wooden box, David began his sharing, “This is my first tooth,” he explained. “This is a ribbon from my sister’s hair, and this is my puppy’s collar. My dad gave me this old key. My mom says this big coin is for good luck.” Even before he told us the purpose of the box, we all seemed to know. Shiny tears went dot-to-dot down the faces of the other children. The rest of the day witnessed all of us carefully preparing items to fill David’s wooden box. When the holidays came to a close, we all returned to our class—all except David. He had got a good chance and left for a big city to get better treatment, clutching the wooden box that held his hope and memories, and ours. 4 What can we learn about David from the first paragraph? A. His attractive smile impressed his teacher a lot. B. Though seriously ill, he was passionate to learn. C. His disease prevented him from going to school. D. Though looking normal,he suffered from a fatal disease. 5. What does the underlined part “the plight” refer to? A. The past time. B. The promising future. C. The awful situation. D. The daily routine. 6. Why did David prepare a wooden box? A. To share his items. B. To help the little angel. C. To treat his disease. D. To hold the good memories. 7. Which of the following best describes David? A Intelligent and diligent. B. Sociable and adventurous. C. Strong-willed and ambitious. D. Optimistic and courageous. C Trees don’t look at the calendar to see when spring arrives, but they seem to know when spring is here better than we do. The annual shift from winter to spring is a breathtaking event to watch as leaves become green and a lush(苍翠的) environment reveals itself. Recently a research takes a look at why trees in cities are turning green earlier than expected. Scientists use satellite imagery to see when plants turn green. By comparing spring green ups in the 85 largest US cities, scientists found that on average trees start to turn green nine days earlier in cities due to the combined effect of artificial lights and urban heat effect. According to the findings, one of the reasons is the artificial light. City lights brightening the night skies, billboard signs lit up on roadways and car headlights all contribute to shifting the regular day to night cycle that plants and trees rely on. In order to stay alive during cruel winters, trees hit the pause button on their growth. Since temperatures can vary dramatically throughout the winter, the length of daylight is the signal trees look for to safely start growing again and turn green. On average cities are typically 1.8 to 5.4F warmer than rural areas. This is known as the urban heat island effect. The changes in city environments may affect seasonal changes even more than climate warming and mosquito season, water cycles, and also affect pollinators(授粉媒介). Despite the worries and concern, it isn’t all bad news. “With a longer growing season, trees would be able to absorb more carbon dioxide,” A researcher said. “Hopefully they’d have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help relieve the urban heating effect in cities.” 8. What is the purpose of the text? A. To reveal how trees survive bitter winters. B. To warn how human activities disturb nature. C. To explain why trees turn green earlier in cities. D. To clarify how trees turning green earlier benefits cities. 9. How did the scientists conduct their research? A. Bringing out urban heat island effect. B. Comparing the green-up time in sample cities. C. Allowing the city environment to reveal itself. D. Developing pictures shot by the satellite. 10. Which of the following elements contributes to trees turning green earlier? A. Plant pollinators. B. Water cycle. C. Road signs. D. Street lamps. 11. In which section of a website can the text be found? A. Environment. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Business. D Anyone can be late a handful of times, but to be the person who is always late — that’s an art, a frustrating art. Or, a side effect of your personality traits, scientists have found. So what is it that causes some people to constantly miss trains, make it to the wedding just after the bride’s shown up and regularly annoy their friends? And why is it so hard for us to fix it? “There are all sorts of punishments for being late, and the paradox is that we are late even when those punishments and consequences exist.” said Justin Kruger, a social psychologist at New York University. One of the commonest reasons why people are frequently late is that they fail to accurately judge how long a task will take-something known as the planning fallacy (谬误). Research has shown that people on average underestimate the time to complete a task by a significant 40 percent. Another trait is that forever-late-comers are more likely to be multitaskers. In a 2003 study run by Jeff Conte from San Diego State University found that out of 181 subway operators in New York City, those who preferred multitasking were more often late for their job. This is because multitasking makes it harder to have the awareness of what you’re doing. Conte also discovered there is a personality type that’s more likely to be late. While highly strung (紧张不安), achievement-oriented Type A individuals are more possible to be punctual. Type B individuals, however, who are more laid-back (漫不经心), have a higher chance to be late. Admittedly, knowing all of this doesn’t necessarily help fix the problem. But scientists are starting to work on strategies that can slowly improve our punctuality. For people who constantly underestimate tasks, breaking down an activity into detailed steps can help people estimate how long something will take more accurately. As for your personality type, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to change that. But accepting that you need to struggle for it may just help. Acceptance, after all, is the first step to change. 12. What does the underlined word “paradox” mean in paragraph 2? A. Strategy. B. Argument. C. Solution. D. Puzzle. 13. What is a possible feature of forever-late-comers? A. They plan to spend more time on a task. B. They tackle more than one task at a time. C. They suffer from concentration difficulties. D. They have high expectations for achievements. 14. Which advice can be given to people who are always late? A. Learn to accept who you are. B. Change your personality type. C. Divide a task into smaller ones. D. Keep to the timetable accurately. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Some People Are Always Late B. How to Improve Punctuality Now C. Type A vs. Type B Personalities D.

We’re tired of operating amid uncertainty. We’re tired of balancing childcare with work. ____16____ They direct our focus to the most readily available information to help us make decisions quickly without properly considering all the variables. The result is that we are wired to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. ____17____ They default (默认) to what feels “normal”. Those networks are so deep in our thinking that when we’re traveling a new and challenging path, our wheels default back to the worn-in grooves (凹槽). So, how do we do hard things when our brains are constantly telling us to avoid effort? ____18____ A 2016 study found that when people are upset, they’re less likely to try to do hard things. When they’re feeling upbeat, however, they’re more likely to take on the hard-but-essential tasks that ultimately make life better. One way we can get ourselves in the right mindset is to do what’s called “reappraisal”, in which we create a shift in our brains of how we perceive a task. Moreover, we must give our brains the right amount of autonomy. When we have a choice, our brains often want to programme something easy. ____19____ Put it into a work context: Do I want to experiment with a new project management tool that might make things easier for my team next week, or do I want to stick with the same sheet that a former employee established that none of us feel great about anyway? ____20____ But by understanding what’s going on in your brain you can work toward accomplishing hard things and manage your fears better. A. Tackle them when we’re in a good mood. B. Doing things like hard work can seem abnormal. C. Our brains label effort as bad because it’s hard work. D. We should be creative and open-minded when doing tasks. E. This is called mindset fault, the tendency to do right things. F. When we feel like this, our brains want to save mental energy. G. But we can reduce the response by challenging ourselves to be innovative. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15题；每小题1分，满分15分） I’m a teacher at a local high school.

Ms. Sandra, one of the few remaining masters of su filindeu, a handmade Italian pasta (意大利面), explained in the first class that this skill had been practiced for over 300 years and was the rarest of 350 pasta varieties worldwide. She emphasized, “Fewer than ten people in the world still master this skill. If we don’t act, the art will disappear.” The students fell silent, realizing the importance of what they were learning. Then, with flour-dusted hands, Ms. Sandra shifted the mood. “Now, let me show you its magic.” The students leaned forward as she started the incredible transformation. She rolled the dough (面团) into a thick rope and then stretched it into 256 perfect strands (线). The classroom was filled with admiration as the teacher’s hands moved gracefully. For weeks, David and his classmates threw themselves into learning the skill of making su filindeu with Ms. Sandra’s help, but it didn’t come easily. The dough kept breaking or sticking together. Sometimes, they couldn’t stretch more than 16 strands. Still, they refused to quit, helping and encouraging each other as they improved little by little. One afternoon, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with heavy steps. She sighed, “The school board thinks our su filindeu class isn’t practical. They’ve decided to cancel it next term unless we can prove its value.” She added, “It’s true that machines can mass-produce pasta in minutes, but if we only value what’s fast and easy, we lose centuries of knowledge.” A wave of disappointment swept through the classroom. After a moment of silence, David stood up. “What if we let more people know about it? How about an exhibition?” he suggested. The class lit up with excitement. Inspired by their reaction, David immediately volunteered to organize the exhibition. Ms. Sandra watched, proud and hopeful. Perhaps, she thought, they really could work some magic. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David and his classmates quickly got to work. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day after the exhibition, Ms. Sandra entered the classroom with a smile. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
