M：Really？ I don’t think the tent is going to fit. And the sleeping bags and fishing equipment take up a lot of space， too. （Text 2） M：You can change planes in either Chicago or Denver. W：You mean there’s no direct flight from New York to Atlanta？ （Text 3） M：Cindy， how are you getting along with the translation work？ W：I have written and rewritten so much that I don’t know if I’ll ever get it finished. （Text 4） W：What is the time？ M：It’s a quarter past nine by my watch. W：My favourite program Sing！ China will be on soon. Don’t switch the channel.You can turn to the computer for your favourite football match. （Text 5） W：What do you think of McDonald’s？ M：It’s a good place for children—good foods and a safe place for them to have fun.The foods are of great quality and children love the chips there. W：No， I don’t agree.Look， how fat some of the children in this city are！ Keep your children away from fatty food. （Text 6） W：Good morning， sir.May I help you？ M：Oh， yes.I’m looking for a pair of sports shoes in size 8. W：OK.Follow me， please ... What do you think of this pair？ M：They look nice.How much are they？ W：They are 40 dollars， but I can give you a 10 percent discount.

M：Why weren’t you at school？ Weren’t you on the clean-up committee for the dance？ W：No， I wasn’t on that committee.I was on the decorating committee. M：Oh！ Well， the decorations were very nice. W：We worked on them all day Friday. Were you at the dance last night？ M：Yes， I was.I didn’t see you there. W：I was there， but there were a lot of people， and I didn’t stay very long. M：It was a nice dance， wasn’t it？ W：Yes， I enjoyed it very much. （Text 8） M：Hello！ I’m calling about the apartment you have advertised in today’s Daily Mail. W：Yes.I will have a trip， so the house will be empty for two weeks. M：Great！ I’d like to hire a short period of time.Two weeks is just enough.

M：OK. （Text 9） W：My guest today is Tim Jones， who organises an international summer course for young musicians.Tim， tell us all about it. M：Well， I’m lucky to have such a great job.Basically， young musicians come from all over the world and learn to play together to have a concert tour.By the end of the eight-week course， they’re really good， and hearing them play is what gives me most pleasure.Unfortunately， I don’t get to know them all that well， as organising every single small thing of the course keeps me busy. W：So， how do you find the young musicians？ M：We advertise online.Anyone between the ages of 16 and 20 can complete the application form and e-mail it to us.We’re not looking for the perfect performance or the good-looking stars of tomorrow.But the course is in English， so a basic level of spoken language is necessary. W：Where is the course held？ M：Mostly in a university during the summer holidays.They have halls for practicing， and plenty of bedrooms and dining rooms， which is a low cost for us.And of course， convenient transport is a must， so somewhere in the quiet countryside is no good， even though it is more spacious there. （Text 10） 　　Some people say the higher you climb， the harder you fall. But those people probably would not be rock climbers.About nine million people go rock climbing in the United States.Millions more take part in the activity around the world.Rock climbing can be dangerous.But there are a lot of methods and equipment that can increase a climber’s safety.Climbing takes strength， control， and good balance.Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls.So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight.And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are several kinds of rock climbing.Traditional rock climbing is done outside.Climbers wear ropes and attach equipment to the rocks.They also connect their ropes to the equipment.If a climber slips， a rope can stop him from falling.Sport climbing is similar.However， in that sport， the safety equipment is permanently placed in the rock.There is also indoor climbing.Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber’s hands and feet.Climbers use their legs to climb； arms and hands are for position and balance.People almost always climb in groups of two or more.Climbing alone is very dangerous.Expert rock climbers say only the very best in the sport should do it. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Photo Contest Entry Categories 1.Photo Competition Theme：“Connect” Entry format： Single photo or photo story （two to five images） Any equipment can be used.

Shortly thereafter， though， culture shock set in.I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses.One 6-week summer course required strenuous （费劲的） hikes， camping in extreme heat， and heavy lifting.My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camped before.But other women in my program were an inspiration.I saw beauty in their strength， and I wanted to be like them. 　　By the end of my undergraduate degree， I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl.And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer.My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life.But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction. 　　I’m now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments， and I’m thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me.My wild， steed-like spirit wasn’t something to suppress （压制）.Instead， it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者跳出自己的文化圈，选择了适合自己的专业。 24.What can we learn about the author in her childhood？（　　） A.She was a quiet and shy girl. B.She was encouraged to study hard. C.She brought misfortunes to her family. D.She spent a lot of time exploring the outdoors. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，作者小时候喜欢到外面玩，而且经常满身是泥地回到家。 25.What was the reason for the author studying geology？（　　） A.The bright employment prospect. B.The difficulty of getting a law degree. C.Her desire to act against her cultural expectations. D.Her disappointment at the prelaw program courses. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的However， when I was accepted into a prelaw program， I found the courses boring.可知，法律预科课程让作者提不起兴趣，这是导致作者去学地质学的原因。 26.What happened to the author when she started to learn geology？（　　） A.She was strongly opposed by her family. B.She was not interested in the field courses. C.She was not used to doing strenuous activities. D.She was looked down upon by other women. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的I had never gone on extended hikes or camped before可知，最初学习地质学课程时，她不习惯做耗费体力的活动。 27.Which of the following best describes the author’s parents？（　　） A.Careful.　　　　　　 B.Demanding. C.Open-minded.　　 D.Far-sighted. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的My parents ...were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.可知，作者的父母对作者放弃学习法律的决定是支持的，因此他们是“开明的”。 C 　　Up until the last decade， the classic gym model for millions of Americans was to grab their iPod， put on their running shoes， and go to the gym alone.With the recent popularization of group fitness classes such as CrossFit， we started to see more gym-goers seeking a more communal environment.Headphones were replaced with high fives and athletes changed their shoes together.However， for many gym-attendees， the routine stayed the same. 　　So the question then remains， what is the best option？ Should you go at it alone or with your crew？ Science says the latter.According to a study by the American Osteopathic Association， group fitness was shown to reduce stress by 26％.“The communal benefits of coming together with friends and colleagues， and doing something difficult， while encouraging one another， are big and go beyond exercising alone，” said Danya Yorks， the lead researcher on the study. 　　Not only that but a study by the Journal of Social Sciences （JSS） found that working out next to a person just a little bit fitter than you might push you to jump on that pull-up bar a little earlier or pull your splits （劈叉） down a bit more， while when we work out alone， we tend to slack off （懈怠） a bit. 　　Think about all the little decisions you make each day around your fitness.Sleep in or go to the gym？ Ice cream or fruit for dessert？ Water or soda？ And so many more.When you’re around like-minded people with similar goals， these decisions become just a bit easier. 　　So next time you head to the gym， grab your friends and hit a team workout or sign up for your local group CrossFit class.You might just be surprised by the effect it can have on your training. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，集体锻炼比单独锻炼效果更好。 28.What was typical of many American gym-goers a decade ago？（　　） A.Joining a fitness class. B.Exercising to pop music. C.Giving a lot of high fives. D.Doing workouts by themselves. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，十年前，美国很多去健身房锻炼的人都是独自锻炼。 29.What might be Danya Yorks’s attitude to CrossFit classes？（　　） A.Favorable.　　 B.Intolerant. C.Doubtful.　　 D.Unclear. 解析：A　观点态度题。根据第二段中Danya Yorks的言论可知，他认为几个人一起锻炼的效果比一个人锻炼的效果好。由此可推知，Danya Yorks对CrossFit持肯定态度。 30.Who would make a nice gym partner according to the JSS study？（　　） A.An early riser. B.A brilliant talker. C.Someone in better shape. D.Someone with a small appetite. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，JSS的研究表明，在比自己身材健美的人身边锻炼能够激励我们进行锻炼。 31.What is the best title for the text？ A.Why Should You Hit the Gym with Your Friends？ B.What Is the Latest Fashion for Gym-attendees？ C.What Is the Best Fitness Program for You？ D.Why Should You Do More Exercise？ 解析：A　标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了两项研究，其结果均表明：集体锻炼比一个人锻炼的效果好。因此A项为文章最佳标题。hit the gym意为“去健身房”。 D 　　To early childhood educator Erika Christakis， schooling and learning are two different things.According to one study she cites in her well-researched book， The Importance of Being Little， 25％ of Los Angeles kindergarteners were allowed no time at all for free play.Three-and four-year-olds can make discoveries for themselves if given the mental space to do so and freed from typical overscheduled activities.But too often teachers themselves are managed by higher-ups （with too much attention to details）， expected to hew to rigid lesson plans， and given little flexibility.Some say they have little time to bond with their students. 　　“Kids are being too much talked at rather than listened to.” This “crushes （毁坏）” their curiosity.In America， reading， writing， and the cognitive （认知的） demands that have been traditionally introduced in second or third grades have been pushed forward to preschools — to 3-year-olds “who lack the motor skills and attention span （持续时间） to be successful”.Christakis argues that forcing academic rigor （严格） at such an early age has led preschoolers to do worse， not better. 　　She admires the philosophies of Waldorf and Steiner schools， which teach young children handiwork such as weaving or woodwork “as part of an imaginative and story-driven curriculum”.They have nature outings for children aged three to six.They sleep in tents with only their teachers and other children （no texting nor parents allowed everywhere near for days）.They learn from nature and everyday experience， invent their own games， choose their own playmates， and settle their own conflicts.They learn to dress themselves， make meals， and help one another.At night they sing around a campfire. 　　Here at home， early education in Christakis’s telling seems to have been overtaken by well-intentioned politicians who don’t understand the first thing about how children actually learn.Alphabets， slogans， and rhymes on the walls are too much for “young children when they can’t even yet read”.Students need less “desk work” and vocabulary drills， and more talking with and listening to adults who “invite the child to be reflective”， she says. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Erika Christakis对美国学前教育的观点。 32.Which of the following best explains “hew to” underlined in Paragraph 1？（　　） A.Give up.　　 B.Break up. C.Contribute to.　　 D.Stick to. 解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句可知，教师往往需要接受过度关注细节的上级的管理，他们需要“遵守”严格的课程计划，拥有的灵活性很低。有些老师提到他们几乎没有时间与学生建立联系。结合语境可推知，画线部分意为“遵守”。 33.What is Erika Christakis’s opinion on American preschool education？（　　） A.It focuses too much on traditional subjects. B.It negatively affects children’s development. C.It fails to teach children reading and writing skills. D.It is disconnected from the reality of primary schools. 解析：B　推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在美国，一般在二年级或三年级才开设的课程现在已被引入学龄前课程当中。Erika Christakis认为，学龄前儿童年龄尚小，对他们的学习提出严格的要求，只会让他们变得更糟糕，而不是更好。由此可推知，Erika Christakis认为美国的学龄前教育模式给学生的发展带来了负面影响。 34.What does Paragraph 3 tell us about Waldorf and Steiner schools？（　　） A.They disallow texting in the classrooms. B.Their communication with parents is effective. C.They advocate an outdoor learning environment. D.Their courses rely heavily on teacher involvement. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的They have nature outings ...around a campfire.可知，华德福/施泰纳学校会为学龄前儿童提供野外郊游活动。孩子们会从大自然和日常经验中学习，发明自己的游戏，选择自己的玩伴，自行解决冲突。他们会学习穿衣服、做饭、互相帮助，晚上还会围着篝火唱歌。由此可推知，华德福/施泰纳学校提倡户外的学习环境。 35.What do children actually need according to Erika Christakis？（　　） A.Appropriate learning resources. B.Stimulating conversations. C.Repetitive reading exercises. D.Quality family time. 解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，Erika Christakis提到，学龄前儿童需要更少的“案头作业”和词汇练习，他们需要与“能帮助孩子思考”的成年人展开更多的交谈并倾听其话语。也就是说，Erika Christakis认为，孩子们真正需要的是能激励他们的对话。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 　　阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 　　Have you ever committed countless hours to a study session just to end up feeling discouraged because you can’t remember the information？36. （　　） Meet the Feynman Technique， a clear-cut way to improve your understanding of any subject and new material. 　　As Yogi Bhajan， a spiritual teacher， put it， “If you want to learn something， read about it.If you want to understand something， write about it.If you want to master something， teach it.” 37.（　　） The method was named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist， Richard Feynman. 　　Feynman believed that one of the best ways to study is to think critically and learn deeply to gain a better understanding of an idea.In other words， if you take what you learn and simplify it as if you are explaining it to others who are unfamiliar with the idea， you’ll quickly be able to see where your weaknesses lie.38.（　　） If you can’t simply explain and teach the concept， then you don’t understand it well enough. 　　39.（　　）However， the Feynman Technique can help， especially when you are learning something new， want to broaden your understanding of a complex topic you’ve already learned， or are trying to improve your score in your upcoming exam.While some people spend hours studying without significant results， you can cut the time down with this technique and remember that knowledge for years. 　　40.（　　） As you’re able to comprehend ideas quickly， you’ll slowly start to see improvement in your academic performance. A.What if there’s a better way？ B.What is the Feynman Technique？ C.Studying is by no means an easy task. D.The technique is here to help with some simple steps. E.That’s the fundamental idea behind the Feynman Technique. F.The goal is to learn by explaining in language that fourth-graders can understand. G.The next time you find yourself stuck on a complicated topic， use this technique. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种高效的学习方法——费曼学习法，其核心是用简单的语言将复杂的知识表达出来，让外行人也能听懂。 36.A　上文描写了一种学习困境：花费了数小时学习，结果还是记不住信息；下文提出了解决方法：了解一下费曼学习法，它能帮助人们理解任何主题和新材料。由此可知，设空处是过渡句，应将问题和解决方法联系起来，故A项符合语境。 37.E　上文Yogi Bhajan指出，如果你要学习一些事物，请阅读它；如果你要理解一些事物，请写下它；如果你要掌握一些事物，请教授它。结合第三段对费曼学习法的介绍可知，如果你能用简单的语言将所学知识表达出来，让不熟悉这一知识的人也能明白，你就真正掌握了这一知识。由此可知，Yogi Bhajan所说的话和费曼学习法的内涵是一样的，故E项符合语境。E项中的That指代Yogi Bhajan所说的话。 38.F　设空处上文具体介绍了费曼学习法的核心所在。F项承接这一概念，指出“此方法的目的就是使用四年级学生能够理解的语言来解释概念，从而掌握知识”，符合语境。F项中的fourth-graders can understand进一步说明了上句中的simplify it。 39.C　根据设空处后面的However可知，设空处应与the Feynman Technique can help构成转折关系，故C项符合语境。 40.G　设空处为本文总结部分，后一句指出“当你能够快速理解概念时，你会慢慢看到自己的学习成绩有所提高”，由此可知，设空处应再次强调费曼学习法的有效性，G项（下次当你发现自己无法理解一个复杂的话题时，使用此方法）符合语境。 第三部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 　　阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 　　My first word was probably “Why？” My toddler questions weren’t the 　41　 ones like “Why is the sky blue？” 　42　， they leaned more toward “Why can’t I have another

Bamboo 　　My wife Hannah and I don’t usually keep houseplants.Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered.But after my diagnosis （诊断） with a brain cancer， I loved the idea of having something new and green around. 　　My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green container.We placed the plant in the living room window across from the sofa where I spent much of the day. 　　I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself.When it didn’t immediately turn yellow or brown or lose all its leaves， I was pleasantly surprised. 　　Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless.The cancer limited my ability to walk， and the treatment left me worn out， making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks.As a family physician， I was used to being the one who provided care， not the one who received it. 　　Since my diagnosis， it seemed that I had to rely on help from other people.The enormous change left me feeling unsettled.Watering the plant， as small an act as it was， connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver. 　　Over the next few months， I recovered from surgery and completed treatment afterwards.Even after I returned to work， I continued to care for the plant.Soon， it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny.Both the tree and I were thriving （茁壮成长）. 　　Then， surprisingly， it began to show signs of stress.I increased my watering.I fed it commercial plant food.No matter what I did， the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. 　　I grew more and more discouraged and uneasy.“I can’t even care for a simple plant！” I yelled.“I’m failing！”Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before.She asked me why I was getting so worked up about this particular one. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 　　“If my lucky bamboo dies，” I said， “I might die， too！”　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　As my anxiety decreased， I began to dig into online courses to help me figure out how to care for my ailing （状况不佳的） plant.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考范文： 　　“If my lucky bamboo dies，” I said， “I might die， too！” Unable to shake off the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my own shaky health， I cried tears when I was alone.Now that the tree was struggling， increasing fear seized me， which in turn helped me regain calmness.Sunk into thought， I realized I had wrongly connected my care of the plant — something over which I had at least some control — with my own survival — something over which I had no control. As my anxiety decreased， I began to dig into online courses to help me figure out how to care for my ailing （状况不佳的） plant.Following the instructions， I transplanted the bamboo to a larger pot to give it room to grow.When it was back in the sunny window， we both began to thrive again.On seeing the tree in its new pot， I couldn’t help thinking of Mitch and the other people who have cared for and supported me.So blessed and grateful were I that nothing in this world could beat me， even the cancer. 17 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
