第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
“I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Snoopy,” my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Snoopy’s real name?” I asked. “I have no idea,” he said. “Where is he from?” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn’t even matter because Snoopy just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot.” “Your friend is replaced by a robot?” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our ohildren.
Aristotle, the great Greek thinker and educator. has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily quit because such bonds are weak and uncerturn. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices (牺牲) for each other.
Presence in friendship requires “being with” and “doing for”. Perhaps the most typical feature of deep friendship is “doing for”, as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I’m sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online “friends” would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they’d just order soup online.
Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example cases of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life may produce false friendships.
21.How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A.By presenting a dialogue. B.By bringing in a robot friend.
C.By telling an interesting joke. D.By introducing an online game.
22.What can we know from the text?
A.False friendships are sure to arise in digital life.
B.Real care and commitment strengthen real friendship.
C.Strong connections can be formed easily in Internet age.
D.Teenagers today can turn to online friends in tough times.
23.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Youth Friendship in Digital Background
B.Deep Friendship and Stliless Friendship
C.Face-to-face Experience of Friendship
D.Benefits from Online Friendship
B
One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Caesar’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful Header. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelman had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business: when and how do you resist the boss?
24.According to Paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
A.Cruel. B.Superior. C.Honorable. D.Obedient.
25.Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?
A.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
B.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D.To warn executives against power misuse.
26.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays
C.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field
27.The best title for the passage is ________.
A.Shakespeare’s plays: A lesson for business motivation
B.Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success
C.Shakespeare’s plays: Executives revolutionize working culture
D.Shakespeare’s plays: Exploring leadership in the corporate world
C
A group of scientists, including people from the Royal Society of Chemistry, recently proposed that experiences such as licking (舔舐) an ice lolly (冰棍) should be part of the science class. By licking a lolly and seeing how it melts – the idea goes – children would better learn about melting, and therefore about chemistry and physics.
But simply licking a lolly, or experiences such as kneading dough, playing with shadows actually doesn’t help students to learn science. Using examples and demonstrations in the classroom can be a helpful approach towards deeper understanding, but it’s not a shortcut to knowledge.
The idea of learning through experiences has a long history. It’s perhaps most closely associated with the work of educator John Dewey in the early 20th century. Dewey and other educators of the time were concerned that an emphasis on rote (死记硬背) learning would lead to “inert (惰性的) knowledge”: facts that students wouldn’t be able to apply to the real world.
An experience like licking a lolly may at least be memorable – especially if you’d never done it before.
However, there is a difference between having memories for events and having knowledge. For example, between having personally lived through the French Revolution and knowing what happened including its origin and effects, the latter involves a different type of memories – structured memories. These are based on understanding how things work and what they mean. It is the type of memory that is at play when you use a word such as “heavy”, unconnected to a specific heavy object. Such understandings are essential to both scientific learning and our use of language.
If you stop to think about it, most of your knowledge can’t be clearly tied to one particular experience.
Learning is usually not a one-shot process – think of how much experience a gardener needs before they “know” how plants grow and thrive. These semantic memories derive from a combination of lots of experiences, and sometimes, from comparing and contrasting different things: the difference between two types of plants, or between an ice lolly and an ice cream. Understanding science or anything else is not just about remembering experiences.
To profit most from first-hand experience, learners need sufficient prior knowledge to understand what is happening when they observe something in class. If we want students to build up their knowledge of science and be able to use it in future, it’s vital that the focus is on strategies that helped them to transform what they observe into structured knowledge.
28.What does the author think of learning physics through licking an ice lolly?
A.Ineffective B.Innovative C.Impressive D.Informative
29.What does the writer think might be the theoretical basis of learning through experience?
A.An educator’s work published in the 20th century
B.The practical experience of a number of teachers
C.Examples and demonstrations collected from schools
D.Works and researches done in the history
30.What does the author want to convey by mentioning the French Revolution?
A.Understanding how things work is the key to learning.
B.Experiential memories doesn’t necessarily lead to knowledge.
C.Learning different things requires different types of memories.
D.Learning from historical events is different from licking an ice lolly.
31.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A.Licking an ice lolly has become a popular way to learn science.
B.Experience relies on certain conditions to benefit science learning.
C.Science learning is becoming increasingly popular among pupils.
D.Knowledge and experience are both important in science learning.
D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people expediently in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A.It can be measured by an IQ test. B.It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C.It includes a set of emotional skills. D.It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
33.Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A.To explain a rule. B.To clarify a concept. C.To present a fact. D.To make a prediction.
34.What does the underlined word “expediently” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Adaptively. B.Sincerely. C.Doubtfully. D.Terribly.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A.Its appeal to the public. B.Expectations for future studies.
C.Its practical application. D.Scientists with new perspectives.

I have been recording the voices of nature for long. Early in my career, my 41 goal was to catch recordings of particular species with the help of shotgun microphones.
Such recordings are 42 useful when it comes to training people to recognize species by their sounds. I 43 at this process and not only published a number of my own 44 for taking wildlife sounds, but also provided recordings for museum and nature center 45 , as well as for movies and other projects.

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
From covering Iran’s 2009 election to reporting on a refugee crisis at sea, Spanish journalist Yolanda Alvarez, 51, from Valencia, has challenged the idea 56 journalism is only for men.
Now based in Beijing, Alvarez reports on China for the Spanish broadcaster TVE. However, her journey was not easy. Even though she had a lot of experience and could speak five languages, Alvarez started working for TVE in Madrid in 2004 and had to wait years 57 becoming a correspondent. While TVE now has more female than male news anchors and correspondents, Alvarez said full equality in newsrooms — especially in leadership — remains elusive.
A study by the Reuters Institute looked at 240 major news outlets in 12 countries and regions. It found that only 27 percent of top editors are women, even though women make 58 about 40 percent of journalists. Although there has been progress, studies show many women choose to focus on family instead of career. Others, like Alvarez and many of her coworkers, choose not to have children. “If you’re in Jerusalem covering a conflict, something has to give,” she said. According to the European Federation of Journalists, many women have 59 given up motherhood for their careers or missed job chances because of it.
At the start of her career, Alvarez saw that women had to prove 60 (they) more than men to get the same jobs. By the time she 61 (become) a Middle East correspondent from 2011 to 2015, she had reported on the Arab Spring and Iran’s 2009 election — yet some male coworkers in similar roles had much less experience. “Women have had to fight more than men to get 62 they are now. That’s why you rarely find mediocre female correspondents,” she said.
Through her 63 (report), she saw that women often suffer the most during conflict. In the Middle East she looked for stories that male reporters couldn’t access, talking to women in traditional communities 64 men weren’t allowed. “As women, we have provided more information,” she said. “We often better map out situations and capture human suffering with 65 (great) sensitivity.”

第二节(满分25分)
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。
One early afternoon, when I finished the day’s work inside the children’s library, an editor of regional magazine called me.
Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration.
The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.”
Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different.
Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all, I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing.
“I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story.
Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Just start writing down anything,” I told myself.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It wasn’t long before the editor replied.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
“I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Snoopy,” my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Snoopy’s real name?” I asked. “I have no idea,” he said. “Where is he from?” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn’t even matter because Snoopy just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot.” “Your friend is replaced by a robot?” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our ohildren.
Aristotle, the great Greek thinker and educator. has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily quit because such bonds are weak and uncerturn. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices (牺牲) for each other.
Presence in friendship requires “being with” and “doing for”. Perhaps the most typical feature of deep friendship is “doing for”, as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I’m sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online “friends” would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they’d just order soup online.
Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example cases of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life may produce false friendships.
21.How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A.By presenting a dialogue. B.By bringing in a robot friend.
C.By telling an interesting joke. D.By introducing an online game.
22.What can we know from the text?
A.False friendships are sure to arise in digital life.
B.Real care and commitment strengthen real friendship.
C.Strong connections can be formed easily in Internet age.
D.Teenagers today can turn to online friends in tough times.
23.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Youth Friendship in Digital Background
B.Deep Friendship and Stliless Friendship C
C.Face-to-face Experience of Friendship
D.Benefits from Online Friendship
B
One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Caesar’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful Header. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelman had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business: when and how do you resist the boss?
24.According to Paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
A.Cruel. B.Superior. C.Honorable. D.Obedient.
25.Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?
A.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
B.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D.To warn executives against power misuse.
26.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays
C.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field
27.The best title for the passage is ________.
A.Shakespeare’s plays: A lesson for business motivation
B.Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success
C.Shakespeare’s plays: Executives revolutionize working culture
D.Shakespeare’s plays: Exploring leadership in the corporate world
C
A group of scientists, including people from the Royal Society of Chemistry, recently proposed that experiences such as licking (舔舐) an ice lolly (冰棍) should be part of the science class. By licking a lolly and seeing how it melts – the idea goes – children would better learn about melting, and therefore about chemistry and physics.
But simply licking a lolly, or experiences such as kneading dough, playing with shadows actually doesn’t help students to learn science. Using examples and demonstrations in the classroom can be a helpful approach towards deeper understanding, but it’s not a shortcut to knowledge.
The idea of learning through experiences has a long history. It’s perhaps most closely associated with the work of educator John Dewey in the early 20th century. Dewey and other educators of the time were concerned that an emphasis on rote (死记硬背) learning would lead to “inert (惰性的) knowledge”: facts that students wouldn’t be able to apply to the real world.
An experience like licking a lolly may at least be memorable – especially if you’d never done it before.
However, there is a difference between having memories for events and having knowledge. For example, between having personally lived through the French Revolution and knowing what happened including its origin and effects, the latter involves a different type of memories – structured memories. These are based on understanding how things work and what they mean. It is the type of memory that is at play when you use a word such as “heavy”, unconnected to a specific heavy object. Such understandings are essential to both scientific learning and our use of language.
If you stop to think about it, most of your knowledge can’t be clearly tied to one particular experience.
Learning is usually not a one-shot process – think of how much experience a gardener needs before they “know” how plants grow and thrive. These semantic memories derive from a combination of lots of experiences, and sometimes, from comparing and contrasting different things: the difference between two types of plants, or between an ice lolly and an ice cream. Understanding science or anything else is not just about remembering experiences.
To profit most from first-hand experience, learners need sufficient prior knowledge to understand what is happening when they observe something in class. If we want students to build up their knowledge of science and be able to use it in future, it’s vital that the focus is on strategies that helped them to transform what they observe into structured knowledge.
28.What does the author think of learning physics through licking an ice lolly?
A.Ineffective B.Innovative C.Impressive D.Informative
29.What does the writer think might be the theoretical basis of learning through experience?
A.An educator’s work published in the 20th century
B.The practical experience of a number of teachers
C.Examples and demonstrations collected from schools
D.Works and researches done in the history
30.What does the author want to convey by mentioning the French Revolution?
A.Understanding how things work is the key to learning.
B.Experiential memories doesn’t necessarily lead to knowledge.
C.Learning different things requires different types of memories.
D.Learning from historical events is different from licking an ice lolly.
31.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A.Licking an ice lolly has become a popular way to learn science.
B.Experience relies on certain conditions to benefit science learning.
C.Science learning is becoming increasingly popular among pupils.
D.Knowledge and experience are both important in science learning.
D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people expediently in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A.It can be measured by an IQ test. B.It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C.It includes a set of emotional skills. D.It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
33.Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A.To explain a rule. B.To clarify a concept. C.To present a fact. D.To make a prediction.
34.What does the underlined word “expediently” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Adaptively. B.Sincerely. C.Doubtfully. D.Terribly.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A.Its appeal to the public. B.Expectations for future studies.
C.Its practical application. D.Scientists with new perspectives.

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
From covering Iran’s 2009 election to reporting on a refugee crisis at sea, Spanish journalist Yolanda Alvarez, 51, from Valencia, has challenged the idea 56 journalism is only for men.
Now based in Beijing, Alvarez reports on China for the Spanish broadcaster TVE. However, her journey was not easy. Even though she had a lot of experience and could speak five languages, Alvarez started working for TVE in Madrid in 2004 and had to wait years 57 becoming a correspondent. While TVE now has more female than male news anchors and correspondents, Alvarez said full equality in newsrooms — especially in leadership — remains elusive.
A study by the Reuters Institute looked at 240 major news outlets in 12 countries and regions. It found that only 27 percent of top editors are women, even though women make 58 about 40 percent of journalists. Although there has been progress, studies show many women choose to focus on family instead of career. Others, like Alvarez and many of her coworkers, choose not to have children. “If you’re in Jerusalem covering a conflict, something has to give,” she said. According to the European Federation of Journalists, many women have 59 given up motherhood for their careers or missed job chances because of it.
At the start of her career, Alvarez saw that women had to prove 60 (they) more than men to get the same jobs. By the time she 61 (become) a Middle East correspondent from 2011 to 2015, she had reported on the Arab Spring and Iran’s 2009 election — yet some male coworkers in similar roles had much less experience. “Women have had to fight more than men to get 62 they are now. That’s why you rarely find mediocre female correspondents,” she said.
Through her 63 (report), she saw that women often suffer the most during conflict. In the Middle East she looked for stories that male reporters couldn’t access, talking to women in traditional communities 64 men weren’t allowed. “As women, we have provided more information,” she said. “We often better map out situations and capture human suffering with 65 (great) sensitivity.”

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。
One early afternoon, when I finished the day’s work inside the children’s library, an editor of regional magazine called me.
Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration.
The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.”
Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different.
Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all, I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing.
“I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story.
Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Just start writing down anything,” I told myself.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It wasn’t long before the editor replied.

【原文】
Ben Cloud is not only a 16 year old high school junior, but also a successful businessman. Ben took a few business classes when he was 15. They got his head spinning with ideas to start his own business. He started by thinking about things he liked. First it was clothing, then coffee. He kept thinking and came up with the idea of selling his own brand of coffee. He felt like there was potential to do this without too much money or risk. So he turned to the Internet and eventually found a coffee bean supplier. He learned about all the legalities of starting a business. After setting up his business and starting to order coffee, he began testing different versions with his friends and family. He got feedback, improved his product. He appropriately named his company Cloud’s Coffee company. Ben received great support from Clyde Rucker, a very successful businessman and best friend of his grandparents. Ben is now working on expanding sales of his coffee to grocery stores and more outlets in his local community. In fact, his 14 year old brother Andrew is now his head of sales.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
“I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Snoopy,” my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Snoopy’s real name?” I asked. “I have no idea,” he said. “Where is he from?” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn’t even matter because Snoopy just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot.” “Your friend is replaced by a robot?” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our ohildren.
Aristotle, the great Greek thinker and educator. has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily quit because such bonds are weak and uncerturn. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices (牺牲) for each other.
Presence in friendship requires “being with” and “doing for”. Perhaps the most typical feature of deep friendship is “doing for”, as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I’m sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online “friends” would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they’d just order soup online.
Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example cases of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life may produce false friendships.
21.How does the author lead in the topic of the text?
A.By presenting a dialogue. B.By bringing in a robot friend.

22.What can we know from the text?
A.False friendships are sure to arise in digital life.
B.Real care and commitment strengthen real friendship.
C.Strong connections can be formed easily in Internet age.
D.Teenagers today can turn to online friends in tough times.
23.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Youth Friendship in Digital Background
B.Deep Friendship and Stliless Friendship C
C.Face-to-face Experience of Friendship
D.Benefits from Online Friendship
【答案】21.A 22.B 23.A
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。这篇文章主要通过作者与其儿子的对话以及对希腊哲学家亚里士多德关于友谊观点的引用,讨论了现代数字生活对人们面对面交往和深层次友谊的影响。
21.推理判断题。根据第一段““I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Snoopy,” my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Snoopy’s real name?” I asked. “I have no idea,” he said. “Where is he from?” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn’t even matter because Snoopy just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot.” “Your friend is replaced by a robot?” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our ohildren.(“我马上就到。我在和一个叫史努比的朋友玩游戏,”我15岁的儿子在房间里喊道。“哦,史努比的真名是什么?”我问。“我不知道,”他说。“他是哪里人?”我接着说到。他回答说:“我想在加拿大的某个地方。哦,等等,这根本不重要因为史努比刚刚离开了游戏他被一个机器人取代了。” “你的朋友被机器人取代了?”“没关系,爸爸。这种事经常发生!游戏还在继续。”我儿子不介意和人或机器人一起玩,这是当今游戏玩家的典型特征。我想知道,伴随我长大的那种面对面的友谊是否会被我们的孩子所失去)”可知,作者通过呈现对话来引出文章的主题。故选A项。
22.推理判断题。根据第二段“Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices (牺牲) for each other.(因为这种关系是脆弱和不稳定的。相比之下,深厚的友谊是你关心你的朋友是为了他,而不是为了你能得到的任何好处。这就是无私的友谊。你只能拥有几个这样的朋友,因为他们需要花费大量的时间和精力。你们必须为彼此做出牺牲)”可知,真正的关心和承诺能加强真正的友谊。故选B项。
23.主旨大意题。根据第一段“My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our ohildren.(我儿子不介意和人或机器人一起玩,这是当今游戏玩家的典型特征。我想知道,伴随我长大的那种面对面的友谊是否会被我们的孩子所失去)”以及最后一段“Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example cases of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life may produce false friendships.(数字生活占据并占据了人们清醒的生活时间,因此人们不会加入友谊的例子,比如体育、集体艺术、自由放养的童年等等。这样,数字生活可能会产生虚假的友谊)”可知,本文主要讲述了现代数字生活对人们面对面交往和深层次友谊的影响,所以A项“Youth Friendship in Digital Background(数字背景下的青年友谊)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
B
One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said — at least as it was presented by Shakespeare — to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Caesar’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful Header. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelman had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business: when and how do you resist the boss?
24.According to Paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
A.Cruel. B.Superior. C.Honorable. D.Obedient.
25.Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?
A.To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
B.To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
C.To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D.To warn executives against power misuse.
26.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized
B.executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays
C.the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars
D.Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field
27.The best title for the passage is ________.
A.Shakespeare’s plays: A lesson for business motivation
B.Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success
C.Shakespeare’s plays: Executives revolutionize working culture
D.Shakespeare’s plays: Exploring leadership in the corporate world
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.D 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了商业高管们如何通过莎士比亚的作品来探讨和学习管理与领导力,以及这种方式对现代企业管理的影响和启示。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段中““Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him.(“布鲁图斯不是一个值得尊敬的人,”他说道,“他是个叛徒。而且他残忍地杀害了别人。”大家一致认为,当布鲁图斯还有其他选择的时候,他却做出了残忍的行为)”可知,所有高管都认为布鲁图是残忍的。故选A。
25.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful Header.(例如,他们举办的关于《亨利五世》的研讨会,包含了对亨利在阿金库尔战役中获胜策略的有益解读。但他们在解读这部作品时确实存在一些偏向:他们对《亨利五世》的解读淡化了他滥用权力的行为。相反,他们强调的是一个年轻人抓住机会并成为一位杰出领袖的故事)”可知,Adelmans夫妇在关于《亨利五世》的研讨会上,淡化了亨利滥用权力的情节,反而强调了亨利这个年轻人抓住机会并成为一名出色领导者的故事。由此可以推断出,他们举办关于《亨利五世》的研讨会是为了突出抓住机会的重要性。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据第二段中“During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends.(在过去的几年里,那些寻求新方法来为美国企业界提供建议的企业高管和书籍作者,一直在利用莎士比亚的智慧来谋取利益)”再结合后文Adelmans夫妇将莎士比亚的作品用于管理培训的例子,可以推断出莎士比亚在管理领域中扮演了重要角色。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。文章开篇通过高管对《凯撒大帝》中布鲁图斯角色的讨论引入,接着讲述了Adelmans夫妇利用莎士比亚的作品开展管理培训业务,并且以《亨利五世》《凯撒大帝》等作品为例,展示了如何从莎士比亚的戏剧中探讨企业中的领导力相关问题,如服从上级、抓住机会、权力使用等。故D选项“Shakespeare’s plays: Exploring leadership in the corporate world(莎士比亚的戏剧:在企业界探索领导力)”,准确地概括了文章主旨,即通过莎士比亚的戏剧来探索企业中的领导力相关内容。故选D。
C
A group of scientists, including people from the Royal Society of Chemistry, recently proposed that experiences such as licking (舔舐) an ice lolly (冰棍) should be part of the science class. By licking a lolly and seeing how it melts – the idea goes – children would better learn about melting, and therefore about chemistry and physics.
But simply licking a lolly, or experiences such as kneading dough, playing with shadows actually doesn’t help students to learn science. Using examples and demonstrations in the classroom can be a helpful approach towards deeper understanding, but it’s not a shortcut to knowledge.
The idea of learning through experiences has a long history. It’s perhaps most closely associated with the work of educator John Dewey in the early 20th century. Dewey and other educators of the time were concerned that an emphasis on rote (死记硬背) learning would lead to “inert (惰性的) knowledge”: facts that students wouldn’t be able to apply to the real world.
An experience like licking a lolly may at least be memorable – especially if you’d never done it before.
However, there is a difference between having memories for events and having knowledge. For example, between having personally lived through the French Revolution and knowing what happened including its origin and effects, the latter involves a different type of memories – structured memories. These are based on understanding how things work and what they mean. It is the type of memory that is at play when you use a word such as “heavy”, unconnected to a specific heavy object. Such understandings are essential to both scientific learning and our use of language.
If you stop to think about it, most of your knowledge can’t be clearly tied to one particular experience.
Learning is usually not a one-shot process – think of how much experience a gardener needs before they “know” how plants grow and thrive. These semantic memories derive from a combination of lots of experiences, and sometimes, from comparing and contrasting different things: the difference between two types of plants, or between an ice lolly and an ice cream. Understanding science or anything else is not just about remembering experiences.
To profit most from first-hand experience, learners need sufficient prior knowledge to understand what is happening when they observe something in class. If we want students to build up their knowledge of science and be able to use it in future, it’s vital that the focus is on strategies that helped them to transform what they observe into structured knowledge.
28.What does the author think of learning physics through licking an ice lolly?
A.Ineffective B.Innovative C.Impressive D.Informative
29.What does the writer think might be the theoretical basis of learning through experience?
A.An educator’s work published in the 20th century
B.The practical experience of a number of teachers
C.Examples and demonstrations collected from schools
D.Works and researches done in the history
30.What does the author want to convey by mentioning the French Revolution?
A.Understanding how things work is the key to learning.
B.Experiential memories doesn’t necessarily lead to knowledge.
C.Learning different things requires different types of memories.
D.Learning from historical events is different from licking an ice lolly.
31.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A.Licking an ice lolly has become a popular way to learn science.
B.Experience relies on certain conditions to benefit science learning.
C.Science learning is becoming increasingly popular among pupils.
D.Knowledge and experience are both important in science learning.
【答案】28.A 29.A 30.B 31.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了通过体验学习科学的有效性,强调体验需结合结构化知识才能真正促进科学学习。
28.细节理解题。由文章第二段中“But simply licking a lolly, or experiences such as kneading dough, playing with shadows actually doesn’t help students to learn science. (然而,仅仅舔冰棍,或像揉面团、玩影子这样的体验,实际上并不能帮助学生学习科学知识。)”可知,作者认为仅仅通过舔冰棍或揉面团、玩影子等体验并不能帮助学生学习科学,因此作者认为这种方式是无效的。故选A。
29.细节理解题。由文章第三段中“The idea of learning through experiences has a long history. It’s perhaps most closely associated with the work of educator John Dewey in the early 20th century. (通过实践经验来学习的理念有着悠久的历史。它或许与 20 世纪初教育家John Dewey的研究成果最为紧密相关。)”可知,作者认为通过体验学习的理论基础可能是20世纪一位教育家的著作。故选A。
30.推理判断题。由文章第五段中“However, there is a difference between having memories for events and having knowledge. For example, between having personally lived through the French Revolution and knowing what happened including its origin and effects, the latter involves a different type of memories – structured memories. (然而,拥有事件记忆和拥有知识之间存在差异。例如,亲身经历过法国大革命与了解法国大革命的发生过程及其起源和影响,后者涉及不同类型的记忆——结构化记忆。)”可知,作者提到法国大革命是为了说明对事件的记忆和拥有知识之间存在差异。因此,作者想要传达的是体验性记忆并不一定能导致知识的获得。故选B。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由第二段中“But simply licking a lolly, or experiences such as kneading dough, playing with shadows actually doesn’t help students to learn science. (然而,仅仅舔冰棍,或像揉面团、玩影子这样的体验,实际上并不能帮助学生学习科学知识。)”和最后一段“If we want students to build up their knowledge of science and be able to use it in future, it’s vital that the focus is on strategies that helped them to transform what they observe into structured knowledge. (如果我们想让学生积累科学知识并能在未来运用它,那么关键在于采用有助于他们将所观察到的事物转化为结构化知识的策略。)”可知,文章主要讨论了通过体验学习科学的效果和条件,指出仅仅通过体验并不能直接帮助学生学习科学,而需要将观察到的转化为结构化知识。因此,文章的主旨大意是:体验需要依靠一定的条件才能有益于科学学习。故选B。
D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people expediently in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
32.What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A.It can be measured by an IQ test. B.It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C.It includes a set of emotional skills. D.It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
33.Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A.To explain a rule. B.To clarify a concept. C.To present a fact. D.To make a prediction.
34.What does the underlined word “expediently” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Adaptively. B.Sincerely. C.Doubtfully. D.Terribly.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A.Its appeal to the public. B.Expectations for future studies.
C.Its practical application. D.Scientists with new perspectives.
【答案】32.D 33.B 34.A 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章批判了公众对情商的过度泛化理解,澄清其本质为中性的技能工具,并肯定了情商普及的积极意义,呼吁未来科学研究应更深入探索情商。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” (如今许多人将情商误解为一个人所有无法通过智商测试衡量的理想特质,如性格、动机、自信、心理稳定性、乐观和“社交技能”)”可知,情商常常被误解为一个人的积极品质。故选D项。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段中“The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person. (能够准确理解他人感受的能力,既可以成为医生帮助患者的利器,也可能沦为骗子操控受害者的工具。拥有高情商,并不等同于拥有高尚品德)”可知,此处先提到医生和骗子可以用情商做截然不同的事,再提到高情商不等于道德高尚。因此,作者是通过对比案例,阐释“情商技能本身无道德属性”的概念。故选B项。
34.词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people expediently in everyday life.(这种宣传最积极的成效是:雇主、教育工作者以及其他关注社会福祉的人士开始重新重视情绪的作用,这种关注恰恰是我们最需要的。情商的普及有助于公众和研究人员重新评估情绪的功能以及它们在日常生活中如何expediently为人们服务)”可知,这里肯定了情绪的作用,是正面的内容,因此重新评估的另一点也有关情绪的益处,应该是灵活地为人们服务,画线词意为“权宜地”,与Adaptively“适应性地”意思相近。故选A项。
35.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction. (尽管情商的持续流行备受期待,但我们更希望这种关注能激发学界对情绪科学研究的更大兴趣。我们期待未来数十年间,科学进步能为研究人类如何管理生活提供全新视角。情商既关注头脑也关注心灵,它可以为我们指明正确的方向)”可知,该段关注的是对未来情商研究的期望。故选B项。

I have been recording the voices of nature for long. Early in my career, my 41 goal was to catch recordings of particular species with the help of shotgun microphones.
Such recordings are 42 useful when it comes to training people to recognize species by their sounds. I 43 at this process and not only published a number of my own 44 for taking wildlife sounds, but also provided recordings for museum and nature center 45 , as well as for movies and other projects. More recently, my “species-recordings” have 46 their way to the internet and smartphones.
Pursuing wildlife and getting closeup recordings was a lot of fun and 47 numerous trips to wild areas. The joy of the 48 and catching each animals’ voice was truly satisfying. But, over time, I found myself growing 49 with the extraction (提取)-approach to nature recording and instead began to focus on the natural soundscape (音景) 50 , on the full chorus of sound flowing to my ears at any particular time and place. I 51 an interest in what made natural soundscapes beautiful and inspring, and on what groups of sounds affected me in 52 ways, which are suitable for relaxation and personal enjoyment.

第二节(共10小题:每小题1. 5分, 满分15分)
阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
From covering Iran’s 2009 election to reporting on a refugee crisis at sea, Spanish journalist Yolanda Alvarez, 51, from Valencia, has challenged the idea 56 journalism is only for men.
Now based in Beijing, Alvarez reports on China for the Spanish broadcaster TVE. However, her journey was not easy. Even though she had a lot of experience and could speak five languages, Alvarez started working for TVE in Madrid in 2004 and had to wait years 57 becoming a correspondent. While TVE now has more female than male news anchors and correspondents, Alvarez said full equality in newsrooms — especially in leadership — remains elusive.
A study by the Reuters Institute looked at 240 major news outlets in 12 countries and regions. It found that only 27 percent of top editors are women, even though women make 58 about 40 percent of journalists. Although there has been progress, studies show many women choose to focus on family instead of career. Others, like Alvarez and many of her coworkers, choose not to have children. “If you’re in Jerusalem covering a conflict, something has to give,” she said. According to the European Federation of Journalists, many women have 59 given up motherhood for their careers or missed job chances because of it.
At the start of her career, Alvarez saw that women had to prove 60 (they) more than men to get the same jobs. By the time she 61 (become) a Middle East correspondent from 2011 to 2015, she had reported on the Arab Spring and Iran’s 2009 election — yet some male coworkers in similar roles had much less experience. “Women have had to fight more than men to get 62 they are now. That’s why you rarely find mediocre female correspondents,” she said.
Through her 63 (report), she saw that women often suffer the most during conflict. In the Middle East she looked for stories that male reporters couldn’t access, talking to women in traditional communities 64 men weren’t allowed. “As women, we have provided more information,” she said. “We often better map out situations and capture human suffering with 65 (great) sensitivity.”
【答案】
56.that 57.before 58.up 59.either 60.themselves 61.became 62.where 63.reporting 64.where 65.greater
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以西班牙女记者Yolanda Alvarez的职业生涯为主线,展现了她如何通过报道伊朗大选、阿拉伯之春等重大事件打破性别偏见,同时揭露了新闻行业的结构性不平等。
56.考查同位语从句。句意:从报道2009年伊朗大选到记录海上难民危机,来自西班牙瓦伦西亚的51岁记者Yolanda Alvarez打破了新闻业只属于男性的观念。空处引导名词性从句作the idea的同位语,同位语从句的成分和语义均完整,应用连接词that作引导词。故填that。
57.考查介词。句意:尽管她经验丰富且掌握五门语言,2004年加入TVE马德里总部后,Alvarez仍等待多年才成为外派记者。根据“had to wait years”和“becoming a correspondent”可知,此处有时间上的先后顺序,指“等待多年才成为外派记者”,因此用介词before表示“在……之前”。故填before。
58.考查固定短语。句意:它显示,尽管女性占记者总数的40%,但仅有27%的顶级编辑是女性。根据“about 40 percent of journalists”可知,此处应用固定搭配make up表示“构成”。故填up。
59.考查固定结构。句意:欧洲记者联合会指出,许多女性要么为事业放弃母亲身份,要么因此错失工作机会。根据“given up motherhood for their careers or missed job chances because of it”可知,此处提到两种选择,放弃母亲身份或错过工作机会,因此用固定结构either… or…表示“不是……就是……,要么……,要么……”。故填either。
60.考查代词。句意:Alvarez在职业生涯初期就发现,女性必须比男性更多地证明自己才能得到同样的工作。空处作prove的宾语,prove“证明”这一动作的实施者和承受者为同一对象,因此用they的反身代词形式。故填themselves。
61.考查动词时态。句意:2011至2015年担任中东记者时,她已报道过阿拉伯之春和伊朗大选,而同等职位的部分男同事资历远不如她。空处作by the time引导的时间状语从句的谓语,根据主句时态可知,从句叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时。故填became。
62.考查状语从句。句意:“女性必须比男性更拼命才能达到今天的位置,因此你几乎找不到平庸的女记者,”她坦言。根据“they are now”可知,空处引导地点状语从句,表示行为发生的地点,因此用从属连词where引导从句。故填where。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:通过她的报道,她发现冲突中女性往往受害最深。空处作Through的宾语,her为逻辑主语,因此用report“报道”的动名词形式。故填reporting。
64.考查定语从句。句意:在中东,她挖掘男记者无法触及的新闻——深入男性禁入的传统社区采访女性。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词traditional communities,先行词在从句中表示行为发生的地点,作地点状语,应用关系副词where作引导词。故填where。
65.考查比较级。句意:我们常能以更强的同理心还原局势,记录人间苦难。空处作修饰sensitivity的定语,根据前一句中的“more information”可知,此处表达比较的含义,指“更强的同理心”,因此用great的比较级形式。故填greater。

Dear worried,
Learning that you’re feeling anxious and losing your temper due to high school pressures, I completely understand what you’re going through and want to offer some advice.
Firstly, talk to someone you trust about how you feel, which is a good way of letting your anxiety and anger out without hurting others or yourself. Secondly, go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of negative emotions. Finally, keep in mind that you should always concentrate yourself on some positive and relaxing things when you feel fed up with academic stress, since it can be helpful in lifting your spirits and gathering up your courage to face those difficulties again.
I hope what I say will be a comfort to you and help you out.
Yours,
Jessica

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。
One early afternoon, when I finished the day’s work inside the children’s library, an editor of regional magazine called me.
Besides my job in the library, I was a part-time writer. I was so part-time that I would never have called myself a writer, even though many of my poems had been published in literary magazines across Canada. A few months ago, I noticed that this particular regional magazine occasionally published poetry, so I took a chance and sent them a letter along with some of my best poems for their consideration.
The instant I picked up the phone, the editor greeted me excitedly, “Hello Carol!I received your letter and I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing (评论) books for us. You’ll have a month to write your review, and we do pay.”
Reviewing books? I had never written a review before, at least not the kind that would appear in a magazine with many readers. Sure, I had written short and enthusiastic summaries of books in the library to engage our users with newly acquired titles, but they were always positive assessments since I only focused on books I liked. This request was something entirely different.
Could I do it? I questioned whether I had the skills and the right to review others’ work. After all, I was only an occasional poet and library assistant. My spirits sank when they didn’t even mention my poetry; instead, they wanted me to review someone else’s writing.
“I have a novel here. It’s by a well-known author. Would you like me to send it to you?” the editor asked. Suddenly, my heart whispered, “You can do it and say ‘yes’ now!” “Yes,” I then said. The book arrived soon. I felt anxious. Again, my heart said, “Take it one step at a time. First, read the book.” So, I did. I read it carefully and discovered I enjoyed the story.
Now what? I sat at my computer, with fingers frozen. “Think! Think! Think! What are you going to say?” I whispered and remained still for several minutes.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Just start writing down anything,” I told myself.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It wasn’t long before the editor replied.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
“Just start writing down anything.” I told myself. My fingers then responded by typing a sentence then two. The words flowed from my fingertips as if they had been waiting for this moment. I found myself absorbed in the process, letting my thoughts and emotions guide my review. And soon enough, I had a complete draft before me. As I read through what I had written, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. It wasn’t perfect, but I captured the essence of the novel. With a deep breath, I hit the “send”button. Then, all I could do was wait. Meanwhile, I felt worried that it wouldn’t be accepted by the editor.
It wasn’t long before the editor replied. “Hi, Carol. I did a quick read through of your review. It looks great the editor excitedly. Upon hearing these words, all my doubts were pushed aside and replaced by newfound confidence. From that day forward, I embraced more opportunities to write reviews. It was a journey of growth and self-discovery, one that taught me the power of stepping out of my comfort zone and trusting in my own abilities. And so, my humble beginnings as an occasional poet and library assistant paved the way for a new chapter in writing journey. I’m grateful for the initial chance the editor gave me.
