My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature was a bit warm for my tiny princess self. So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness... The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means. We do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author say about her present life? A. She leads a balanced life. B. She enjoys meeting old friends. C. She is really into movies. D. She struggles with family crises. 5. Why did the author mention the sparrow? A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To offer her comfort. C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To show her approval. 6. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Physical weakness. B. The great lie. C. The rowing machine. D. The broken soul. 7. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author? A. Achieving important life goals. B. Enjoying life as you can. C. Living a life of love and service. D. Loving what is being done. C Table tennis is one of those sports that most people would likely assume is simply unplayable by the blind. An Australian student however, is now using cameras and speakers to get unsighted individuals in on the ping pong action. There are already two games for the blind (namely Swish and Showdown) which are similar to table tennis, but involve hitting a ball that makes a ring noise back and forth along the surface of a table. In that sense, they’re almost more like air hockey (曲棍球). Playing table tennis with a special ball that makes other sounds is another possibility, but such electronics-filled balls wouldn’t perform like the much lighter conventional balls. It was with such limitations in mind that University of Sydney engineering honors student Phoebe Peng - working with ARIA Research Company - created her experimental new system. The system includes a traditional table, bats and ball, along with a group of speakers along the sides of the table, and two neuromorphic (神经形态的) cameras. Also known as event cameras, the latter track the movement of objects within their field of view through local changes in brightness, which are detected by the image sensor. With the joint output of both cameras, it's possible to track the position of the ball in three-dimensional space, in real time. A special program uses that data to control the speakers, causing them to produce a sound field matching the current position of the ball. The idea is that both players simply listen for the position of the ball, as sent out by the speakers. That said, more research needs to be conducted before the system is made available for real- world use. “An ongoing technical challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound,” said Peng. “There are limitations on how accurately people can perceive sound localization. What type of sound should be used? This is a technical challenge well be solving in the next stage of development. ” 8. What is the purpose of the student-designed system? A. To allow the blind to play table tennis. B. To provide multiple choices for people. C. To get the sighted individuals active again. D. To popularize table tennis among the disabled. 9. What’s the major limiting factor of the special ball that makes sound? A. The high price. B. The poor quality. C. The technical issue. D. The weight problem. 10. How does the system track the position of the ball in the game? A. By applying GPS technology. B. By using one camera’s image sensor. C. By combining the data of two cameras. D. By detecting sound waves sent out by the ball. 11. What is the key problem facing people according to the last paragraph? A. The inaccuracy of perceiving sound. B. The instability of the event cameras. C. The difficulty of the mass production. D. The complexity of handling the program. D Which is better for Earth: an electric or gas-powered vehicle? The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious: Of course electric cars must be better for the environment, because they don’t give off greenhouse gases as people drive. However, electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t perfect, and they come with their own set of polluting problems. Their batteries require a large amount of energy to produce. Battery production is just one part of an electric car’s life span. A study looked at the entire life cycle of an EV’s emissions (排放), from mining the metals for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them, and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle. The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars. “Only when connected to the dirtiest, coal-heavy electric grids (电网) do gas-powered cars become comparable to EVs on a greenhouse gas basis,” said Colin Sheppard, an expert in energy and transportation systems. That’s why more and more countries are decreasing the power supply from coal. In China, the national grid is improving with more investments in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries. Sheppard modelled a future in which all cars were electric. “We wanted to understand what it might be like if all passenger vehicles are electrified.” For example, Sheppard calculated that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, it would reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 46% every year. This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique known as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity. In short, it’s far easier to argue in favor of buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost? Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people? 12. In which case do EVs get more heavy-polluted than gas-powered cars? A. Being powered only by batteries. B. Consuming coal-powered electricity. C. Starting to give off greenhouse gases. D. Replacing gas-powered vehicles entirely. 13. What is greatly promoted in China now according to the text? A. Renewable energy. B. Electric vehicles. C. Coal-powered supply. D. Public transport. 14. How does Sheppard model the future of EVs? A. With a discussion. B. With an examination. C. With a calculation. D. With a questionaire. 15. What might the paragraph following the passage be about? A. Inventing green gas-powered vehicles. B. Developing environment-friendly grids. C. Making electric vehicles more affordable. D. Getting rid of fossil energy like coal and oil. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s highly expected that students need to develop their critical thinking skills. In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop students’ critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. ___16___ For example, they help students be better language learners.

Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas—ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. ___19___ However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. ___20___ Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above.

We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 4. What does the author say about her present life? A. She leads a balanced life. B. She enjoys meeting old friends. C. She is really into movies. D. She struggles with family crises. 5. Why did the author mention the sparrow? A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To offer her comfort. C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To show her approval. 6. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Physical weakness. B. The great lie. C. The rowing machine. D. The broken soul. 7. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author? A. Achieving important life goals. B. Enjoying life as you can. C. Living a life of love and service. D. Loving what is being done. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景，以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法，强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.(随着年龄的电梯慢慢到来，我们能做些什么呢？主要的解决办法是每天出去走走，最好是和朋友一起。老朋友——哪怕只是想起他们——都是我的安慰。)”可知，作者烦恼的时候就想和朋友一起。由此可知，作者喜欢和老朋友见面。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”(麻雀回答说：“做自己能做的事。”)”以及倒数第二段“This is what older age means. We do what we can.(这就是老年的含义。我们做我们能做的。)”可推测出，作者提到麻雀的故事是为了表达作者对于麻雀行为的赞同，作者认为我们做自己能做的就可以了。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. (上了年纪，我们的身体是如此脆弱，但友谊使它成为灵魂的划船机。)”可知，划线单词“it”所指的是上了年纪后，我们的身体会脆弱。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.(到了一定的年龄，我们就会知道生活中最大的谎言——如果你做到了或实现了这个或那个，你就会快乐和富有。不。爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知，作者认为幸福不是通过实现重要的人生目标获得的，而是通过爱和服务的生活方式来获得的。故选C。 C Table tennis is one of those sports that most people would likely assume is simply unplayable by the blind. An Australian student, however, is now using cameras and speakers to get unsighted individuals in on the ping pong action. There are already two games for the blind (namely Swish and Showdown) which are similar to table tennis, but involve hitting a ball that makes a ring noise back and forth along the surface of a table. In that sense, they’re almost more like air hockey (曲棍球). Playing table tennis with a special ball that makes other sounds is another possibility, but such electronics-filled balls wouldn’t perform like the much lighter conventional balls. It was with such limitations in mind that University of Sydney engineering honors student Phoebe Peng - working with ARIA Research Company - created her experimental new system. The system includes a traditional table, bats and ball, along with a group of speakers along the sides of the table, and two neuromorphic (神经形态的) cameras. Also known as event cameras, the latter track the movement of objects within their field of view through local changes in brightness, which are detected by the image sensor. With the joint output of both cameras, it's possible to track the position of the ball in three-dimensional space, in real time. A special program uses that data to control the speakers, causing them to produce a sound field matching the current position of the ball. The idea is that both players simply listen for the position of the ball, as sent out by the speakers. That said, more research needs to be conducted before the system is made available for real- world use. “An ongoing technical challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound,” said Peng. “There are limitations on how accurately people can perceive sound localization. What type of sound should be used? This is a technical challenge well be solving in the next stage of development. ” 8. What is the purpose of the student-designed system? A. To allow the blind to play table tennis. B. To provide multiple choices for people. C. To get the sighted individuals active again. D. To popularize table tennis among the disabled. 9. What’s the major limiting factor of the special ball that makes sound? A. The high price. B. The poor quality. C. The technical issue. D. The weight problem. 10. How does the system track the position of the ball in the game? A. By applying GPS technology. B. By using one camera’s image sensor. C. By combining the data of two cameras. D. By detecting sound waves sent out by the ball. 11. What is the key problem facing people according to the last paragraph? A. The inaccuracy of perceiving sound. B. The instability of the event cameras. C. The difficulty of the mass production. D. The complexity of handling the program. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，一名澳大利亚学生 Phoebe Peng创建一套系统，使用照相机和扬声器让失明人士能打乒乓球。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Table tennis is one of those sports that most people would likely assume is simply unplayable by the blind. (乒乓球是大多数人可能认为盲人无法参加的运动之一。)”可知，大多数人可能认为乒乓球是盲人无法参加的运动之一。接着转折提及“An Australian student, however, is now using cameras and speakers to get unsighted individuals in on the ping pong action. (然而，一名澳大利亚学生现在正在使用摄像头和扬声器让视力不佳的人参与乒乓球比赛。)”，一名澳大利亚学生现在正在使用相机和扬声器让盲人参与乒乓球运动。由此可知，学生设计该系统的目的是让盲人也能打乒乓球，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Playing table tennis with a special ball that makes other sounds is another possibility, but such electronics-filled balls wouldn’t perform like the much lighter conventional balls. (用发出其他声音的特殊球打乒乓球是另一种可能性，但这种充满电子的球的性能不如轻得多的传统球。)”可知，会发声的特殊球比较重，所以不会像平常的球那样好用，由此可推知，特殊球发声的主要限制因素是重量问题。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。第五段叙述“With the joint output of both cameras, it's possible to track the position of the ball in three-dimensional space, in real time. A special program uses that data to control the speakers, causing them to produce a sound field matching the current position of the ball. (通过两个摄像头的联合输出，可以实时跟踪球在三维空间中的位置。一个特殊程序使用该数据来控制扬声器，使它们产生与球的当前位置相匹配的声场。)”可知，该系统通过结合两个摄像机的数据跟踪球在比赛中的位置。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段叙述““An ongoing technical challenge is the matter of human perception (感知) of sound,” said Peng. “There are limitations on how accurately people can perceive sound localization. What type of sound should be used? This is a technical challenge well be solving in the next stage of development. ” (“一个技术挑战是人类对声音的感知问题，”彭说。“人们感知声音定位的准确度有限。应该使用什么类型的声音? 这是我们在下一个发展阶段将要解决的一个技术挑战。”)”可知，人们面临的一个关键问题是感知声音的时候存在不准确性。故选A。 D Which is better for Earth: an electric or gas-powered vehicle? The answer to this question might seem blindingly obvious: Of course electric cars must be better for the environment, because they don’t give off greenhouse gases as people drive. However, electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t perfect, and they come with their own set of polluting problems. Their batteries require a large amount of energy to produce. Battery production is just one part of an electric car’s life span. A study looked at the entire life cycle of an EV’s emissions (排放), from mining the metals for the batteries to producing the electricity needed to power them, and then compared this with the average emissions of a gas-powered vehicle. The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars. “Only when connected to the dirtiest, coal-heavy electric grids (电网) do gas-powered cars become comparable to EVs on a greenhouse gas basis,” said Colin Sheppard, an expert in energy and transportation systems. That’s why more and more countries are decreasing the power supply from coal. In China, the national grid is improving with more investments in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries. Sheppard modelled a future in which all cars were electric. “We wanted to understand what it might be like if all passenger vehicles are electrified.” For example, Sheppard calculated that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, it would reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 46% every year. This reduction could be increased even further if those vehicles were using a technique known as “smart charging” in which cars are recharged at chosen times (often at night) to reduce the cost of electricity. In short, it’s far easier to argue in favor of buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost? Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people? 12. In which case do EVs get more heavy-polluted than gas-powered cars? A. Being powered only by batteries. B. Consuming coal-powered electricity. C. Starting to give off greenhouse gases. D. Replacing gas-powered vehicles entirely. 13. What is greatly promoted in China now according to the text? A. Renewable energy. B. Electric vehicles. C. Coal-powered supply. D. Public transport. 14. How does Sheppard model the future of EVs? A. With a discussion. B. With an examination. C. With a calculation. D. With a questionaire. 15. What might the paragraph following the passage be about? A. Inventing green gas-powered vehicles. B. Developing environment-friendly grids. C. Making electric vehicles more affordable. D. Getting rid of fossil energy like coal and oil. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了电动汽车和燃油汽车哪个更环保。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The team found that when EVs are charged with coal-powered electricity, they’re actually worse for the environment than gas-powered cars.”（研究小组发现，当电动汽车使用燃煤电力充电时，它们对环境的危害实际上比汽油动力汽车更严重。）可知，当电动汽车使用燃煤电力时，比汽油动力汽车造成的污染更严重。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“In China, the national grid is improving with more investments in renewable energy. For example, it has twice as much wind energy capacity as the U.S. and it builds more solar panels per year than any other countries.”（在中国，随着对可再生能源的更多投资，国家电网正在改善。例如，中国的风能容量是美国的两倍，每年建造的太阳能电池板比其他任何国家都多。）可知，中国目前致力于发展可再生能源，加大对可再生能源的投资，由此可知，目前中国大力推广的是可再生能源。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Sheppard modelled a future in which all cars were electric. “We wanted to understand what it might be like if all passenger vehicles are electrified.” For example, Sheppard calculated that if all vehicles in the U.S. were electric, it would reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 46% every year.”（Sheppard建立了一个未来所有汽车都是电动的模式。“我们想了解如果所有乘用车都通电会是什么样子。”例如，Sheppard计算出，如果美国所有的汽车都是电动的，那么每年温室气体排放量将减少46%。）可知，Sheppard通过计算为电动汽车的未来建立模型。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“In short, it’s far easier to argue in favor of buying an EV than a gas-powered vehicle. But what about the cost? Aren’t electric vehicles too expensive for most people?”（简言之，支持购买电动汽车比支持汽油动力汽车要容易得多。但是费用呢？电动汽车对大多数人来说不是太贵了吗？）可知，最后一段提出一个问题，虽然电动汽车具有环保性，但太贵了，大多数人买不起，由此可知，文章接下来的段落讨论的可能是使电动汽车价格更合理的问题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s highly expected that students need to develop their critical thinking skills.
