Our financial situation became increasingly strained after my father, who had dedicated over two decades to serving in the U.S. Air Force, honorably retired and subsequently encountered challenges in securing a stable position in the civilian workforce. We were also struggling to find an affordable place to call our own. It would have been easy to give in to frustration. But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever. However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later. Once or twice a week, she would lead us to the bus stop, and from there we would “see the world”. The public transportation system was extensive, and with one ticket we could ride all day. My mom studied the routes carefully and guided us to a variety of destinations. Among our favorites was the mall in Carlsbad. At its center stood a glass clock tower with gears (齿轮) that rolled plastic balls along rails, bouncing them onto drums and ramps, then lifting them up again to repeat the cycle. The sight always drew a small crowd, mostly children. On other days, we took the bus to Strand Beach, where we watched ships in the distance and heard helicopters and aircraft soaring overhead toward the naval (海军的) base at Camp Pendleton. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was grateful to my mom for making that difficult period so enjoyable. Eventually, my father found a steady job, and we moved into a home in the countryside. My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything. Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere. 4. Why did the family face difficulties? A. The father lost his job in the U.S. Air Force. B. The family had no fixed place of residence. C. They lived far away from the city. D. They lacked financial stability. 5. What was the mother’s primary purpose of the trip? A. To build a positive attitude to the world. B. To promote her husband at the naval base. C. To find a new home in the countryside. D. To explore job opportunities in Carlsbad. 6. What does the author most appreciate about his mom now? A. Her knowledge of public transportation. B Her skill in planning detailed travel routes. C. Her wisdom in shaping their outlook on life. D. Her patience during their financial struggles. 7. Which word best describes the mother? A. Ambitious. B. Resourceful. C. Adventurous. D. Protective. C Understanding a simple-looking sentence like “I read this article yesterday” actually requires complex computation (计算): a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly instantly based on grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. His team has now found that the brain accommodates grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch audio book. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (衡量标准) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (句法分析) strategies that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase ends before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head before it was complete. A third model, in which listeners wait for all phrases before interpreting any part, is seldom used in either language. In Dutch, verbs sometimes come near the end of a sentence, explains study author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “because I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “because I a cookie with chocolate ate”. Listeners would have to wait long for the verb, so predictive processing becomes more natural. Neither strategy is “better or worse”, Coopmans adds. It is simply suited to the properties of each language. The findings support the need for more diversity in linguistic models, says Jixing Li, a linguist at City University of Hong Kong. If studies are done only in English speakers, crucial differences will be missed. Diversifying research, Martin says, will help capture how the brain understands the structured meaning and social utility of language. 8. What does Martin’s team discover about the brain? A. It interprets words randomly. B. It adapts to grammar rules. C. It favors grammatical changes. D. It ignores sentence structures. 9. What model do Dutch speakers prefer? A. Waiting for full phrases. B. Predicting phrase endings. C. Ignoring verb positions. D. Following English strategies. 10. Why is predictive processing natural for Dutch? A. Its verbs occasionally appear late. B. It has simpler grammatical rules. C. It uses common vocabulary. D. Its sentences are generally longer. 11. What do the findings stress? A. English is the best study language. B. Dutch is much harder to process. C. People ignore social language use. D. Linguistic models need diversity. D Breaking a big goal into smaller parts might seem like a simple trick. In fact, it is a strategy that can be applied widely — to exercising regularly, saving money, or building a new skill. But is there real scientific evidence for its effectiveness? To figure it out, our team carried out a large-scale field experiment with thousands of participants in everyday settings. For our study, we partnered with Crisis Text Line (CTL), a nonprofit providing free text counseling. CTL volunteers are expected to complete 200 hours of service each year, which is quite demanding compared with the national average. We wondered whether setting smaller subgoals would encourage greater participation. In our study, over 9,000 volunteers received e-mails presenting the yearly target in different ways for three months. Some were told simply to aim for 200 hours with no detailed goal breakdown, while others were encouraged to meet either four hours per week or eight hours every two weeks. Then we tracked how much time each group of trained crisis counselors actually spent volunteering during the study. The results showed that people with smaller subgoals volunteered 7 percent to 8 percent more than those given only the big goal. This may sound like a modest increase, but when scaled across CTL’s thousands of volunteers, our intervention: translated to thousands of additional counseling hours every month at essentially zero cost to the organization. We also found that the more flexible “eight hours every two weeks” condition led to more lasting benefits, as declines in volunteering were slower than in the stricter “four hours every week” condition. Our study dovetails with the research by behavioral scientists Hal Hershfield and Shlomo Benartzi. Their work shows that people are four times more likely to sign up for a savings program when the required deposit is described as $5 a day rather than $150 a month. Taken together, this recent research suggests that whether goals require taking a single action or “keeping your nose to the grindstone”, subgoals may help. 12. What did the field experiment focus on? A. The cost of volunteering. B. The effect of flexible schedule. C. The method of attaining ambitious goals. D. The effectiveness of subgoals. 13. How was the field experiment conducted? A. By interviewing volunteers about their preferences. B. By instructing participants in breaking down goals. C. By comparing different goal-setting approaches. D. By providing counselors with novel techniques. 14. What does the underlined phrase “dovetails with” in the last paragraph mean? A. Corresponds with. B. Subscribes to. C. Conflicts with. D. Goes to. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A. Why Breaking Goals into Smaller Parts Works B. How Crisis Text Line Increased Volunteer Hours C. The Science of Goal-Setting: A Large-Scale Experiment D. Small Subgoals, Big Impact: Evidence from a Field Study 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。 A beautiful flower garden begins with preparation.

What makes these soldiers so interesting is not just their different faces — each man ____37____ (think) to be copied from real soldiers — but rather the philosophical implications underlying their construction. Unlike Western works, ____38____ statues often praised human ____39____ (perfect), these clay men carried a Chinese art-rule: the balance between the person and the group. The question that comes up here is ____40____ making so many art pieces lowers or raises their culture worth. New dig finds have shown that the colors ____41____ (original) put on these men had rocks not found in China back then, pointing to trade roads longer ____42____ recorded before. This find fights the old story of old China as a land cut off from the outside world. The building skill seen in the underground rooms is particularly ____43____ (amaze). The makers used a drainage system so well that, even now, it would be considered ____44____ (innovation). Had this technology been documented and disseminated (传播), it might have completely changed architectural practices across ancient civilizations. How we read these quiet guards — as signs of king power or as art wins — depends much on how we see today. Maybe their biggest meaning lies not in what they were meant to show, but in what they have turned into: ____45____ (message) of Chinese life to today’s world. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你将与交换生Alex在校园音乐节进行二胡与小提琴的合奏。请给他写一封邮件，商讨合奏事宜，内容包括： (1)提出建议； (2)说明理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Alex, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 47. 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。 We had a three-station self-service dog wash, which was extremely popular as the area has a lot of farms, and is close to a lot of hiking trails and has a large number of dog show enthusiasts. A customer came in one day with three, yes, THREE full-grown Saint Bernard dogs to give them all baths. Fortunately, she is very organized: She brought them in one at a time, and it was in the fall, so it was safe for them to be in the car with the windows cracked for a longer time. She and her delightful pets spent somewhere around five to six hours in the store, cycling one dog at a time and using the same tub (桶) so the other two were open to other customers. Unfortunately, one St. Bernard dog got a little too relaxed during her bath and leaned her roughly 130 lbs weight against the spigot (水龙头), causing the elbow joint (接合处) to bend and block the water flow. The customer apologized repeatedly, but my manager assured her it was OK. The customer switched the dog to another tub, and my manager took apart the affected spigot, removing the damaged elbow joint. With that in hand, he grabbed a few $20 and gave them to me with the joint and a request to go to the only nearby store, where the boss has a lovely yellow dog, for a new one. The boss walked by just as I was considering going to ask for help. He greeted me and asked how he could help. I explained I worked at a pet store and that we needed a new part for one of our dog wash tubs. Then I handed him the elbow joint. To my great disappointment, his store didn't have this kind of elbow joint. What was worse, there were no other stores like this in the neighborhood. My store’s business was going really well, and being unable to buy this part would affect our operations — I was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The boss noticed my confusion and glanced back at the elbow joint. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that week, the boss came into our shop with his pet dog. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later. Once or twice a week, she would lead us to the bus stop, and from there we would “see the world”. The public transportation system was extensive, and with one ticket we could ride all day. My mom studied the routes carefully and guided us to a variety of destinations. Among our favorites was the mall in Carlsbad. At its center stood a glass clock tower with gears (齿轮) that rolled plastic balls along rails, bouncing them onto drums and ramps, then lifting them up again to repeat the cycle. The sight always drew a small crowd, mostly children. On other days, we took the bus to Strand Beach, where we watched ships in the distance and heard helicopters and aircraft soaring overhead toward the naval (海军的) base at Camp Pendleton. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was grateful to my mom for making that difficult period so enjoyable. Eventually, my father found a steady job, and we moved into a home in the countryside. My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything. Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere. 4. Why did the family face difficulties? A. The father lost his job in the U.S. Air Force. B. The family had no fixed place of residence. C. They lived far away from the city. D. They lacked financial stability. 5. What was the mother’s primary purpose of the trip? A. To build a positive attitude to the world. B. To promote her husband at the naval base. C. To find a new home in the countryside. D. To explore job opportunities in Carlsbad. 6. What does the author most appreciate about his mom now? A. Her knowledge of public transportation. B. Her skill in planning detailed travel routes. C. Her wisdom in shaping their outlook on life. D. Her patience during their financial struggles. 7. Which word best describes the mother? A. Ambitious. B. Resourceful. C. Adventurous. D. Protective. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候家庭经济困难，母亲通过带他们乘公交旅行的方式，让他们乐观面对生活并学会欣赏世界。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Our financial situation became increasingly strained after my father, who had dedicated over two decades to serving in the U. S. Air Force, honorably retired and subsequently encountered challenges in securing a stable position in the civilian workforce. We were also struggling to find an affordable place to call our own.(在我父亲光荣退休后，我们的经济状况变得越来越紧张。他在美国空军服役了20多年，随后在平民劳动力中难以找到稳定的工作。我们也在努力寻找一个能负担得起的地方作为自己的家。)”可知，家庭面临困难是因为缺乏经济稳定性。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever.(但妈妈有其他的想法，她利用这种情况给弟弟杰斯和我留下了美好的回忆，这些回忆将永远影响我们的看法。)”以及最后一段中“Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere.(最重要的是，她告诉我们，无论我们在哪里，无论我们正在经历什么，总有一些事情能让我们微笑。)”可知，母亲旅行的主要目的是培养对世界的积极态度。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later.(然而，多年后我才完全体会到她的智慧。)”以及最后一段中“My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything.(我妈妈做的不仅仅是分散我们对烦恼的注意力。她让我们对睁开眼睛欣赏这个属于我们的世界充满热情，而不需要真正付出什么。)”可知，作者现在最欣赏母亲的是她塑造他们人生观的智慧。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever.(但妈妈有其他的想法，她利用这种情况给弟弟杰斯和我留下了美好的回忆，这些回忆将永远影响我们的看法。)”以及第三段“Once or twice a week, she would lead us to the bus stop, and from there we would “see the world”. The public transportation system was extensive, and with one ticket we could ride all day. My mom studied the routes carefully and guided us to a variety of destinations.(每周一两次，她会带我们去公交车站，从那里我们可以“看世界”。公共交通系统很发达，一张票我们可以坐一整天。我妈妈仔细研究了路线，带我们去了各种各样的目的地。)”可知，母亲在家庭经济困难的情况下，想出带孩子们乘公交旅行的方法，让他们乐观面对生活，由此可推知，母亲是一个足智多谋的人。故选B。 C Understanding a simple-looking sentence like “I read this article yesterday” actually requires complex computation (计算): a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly instantly based on grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. His team has now found that the brain accommodates grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch audio book. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (衡量标准) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (句法分析的) strategies that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase ends before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head before it was complete. A third model, in which listeners wait for all phrases before interpreting any part, is seldom used in either language. In Dutch, verbs sometimes come near the end of a sentence, explains study author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “because I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “because I a cookie with chocolate ate”. Listeners would have to wait long for the verb, so predictive processing becomes more natural. Neither strategy is “better or worse”, Coopmans adds. It is simply suited to the properties of each language. The findings support the need for more diversity in linguistic models, says Jixing Li, a linguist at City University of Hong Kong. If studies are done only in English speakers, crucial differences will be missed. Diversifying research, Martin says, will help capture how the brain understands the structured meaning and social utility of language. 8. What does Martin’s team discover about the brain? A. It interprets words randomly. B. It adapts to grammar rules. C. It favors grammatical changes. D. It ignores sentence structures. 9. What model do Dutch speakers prefer? A. Waiting for full phrases. B. Predicting phrase endings. C. Ignoring verb positions. D. Following English strategies. 10. Why is predictive processing natural for Dutch? A. Its verbs occasionally appear late. B. It has simpler grammatical rules. C. It uses common vocabulary. D. Its sentences are generally longer. 11. What do the findings stress? A. English is the best study language. B. Dutch is much harder to process. C. People ignore social language use. D. Linguistic models need diversity. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马丁团队发现大脑会调整语句处理方式适应不同语言语法，还对比了英、荷语者的句法处理模式，强调语言研究模型需多样性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His team has now found that the brain accommodates grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.(他的团队如今发现，大脑会通过调整处理每个句子的方式来适应不同语言间的语法差异)”可知，大脑会适应不同的语法规则。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head before it was complete.(但马丁研究中的荷兰语使用者明显倾向于预测性模式；参与者往往会在每个短语结束前就在脑中补全它)”可知，荷兰语使用者偏爱预测短语结尾的模式。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In Dutch, verbs sometimes come near the end of a sentence, explains study author Cas W. Coopmans. For instance, “because I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “because I a cookie with chocolate ate”. Listeners would have to wait long for the verb, so predictive processing becomes more natural. (研究作者Cas W. Coopmans解释说，在荷兰语中，动词有时会出现在句末附近。例如，荷兰语中的“因为我吃了一块巧克力饼干”就是“因为我一块有巧克力的饼干吃掉了”。听者需要等很久才能听到动词，因此预测性处理就变得更为自然)”可知，荷兰语中动词偶尔出现在句末是预测性处理更自然的原因。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The findings support the need for more diversity in linguistic models, (该研究结果表明，语言模型需要更多的多样性)”可知，研究发现强调了语言模型需要多样性。故选D项。 D Breaking a big goal into smaller parts might seem like a simple trick. In fact, it is a strategy that can be applied widely — to exercising regularly, saving money, or building a new skill. But is there real scientific evidence for its effectiveness? To figure it out, our team carried out a large-scale field experiment with thousands of participants in everyday settings. For our study, we partnered with Crisis Text Line (CTL), a nonprofit providing free text counseling. CTL volunteers are expected to complete 200 hours of service each year, which is quite demanding compared with the national average. We wondered whether setting smaller subgoals would encourage greater participation. In our study, over 9,000 volunteers received e-mails presenting the yearly target in different ways for three months. Some were told simply to aim for 200 hours with no detailed goal breakdown, while others were encouraged to meet either four hours per week or eight hours every two weeks. Then we tracked how much time each group of trained crisis counselors actually spent volunteering during the study. The results showed that people with smaller subgoals volunteered 7 percent to 8 percent more than those given only the big goal. This may sound like a modest increase, but when scaled across CTL’s thousands of volunteers, our intervention: translated to thousands of additional counseling hours every month at essentially zero cost to the organization. We also found that the more flexible “eight hours every two weeks” condition led to more lasting benefits, as declines in volunteering were slower than in the stricter “four hours every week” condition. Our study dovetails with the research by behavioral scientists Hal Hershfield and Shlomo Benartzi. Their work shows that people are four times more likely to sign up for a savings program when the required deposit is described as $5 a day rather than $150 a month. Taken together, this recent research suggests that whether goals require taking a single action or “keeping your nose to the grindstone”, subgoals may help. 12. What did the field experiment focus on? A. The cost of volunteering. B. The effect of flexible schedule. C. The method of attaining ambitious goals. D. The effectiveness of subgoals. 13. How was the field experiment conducted? A. By interviewing volunteers about their preferences. B By instructing participants in breaking down goals. C. By comparing different goal-setting approaches. D. By providing counselors with novel techniques. 14. What does the underlined phrase “dovetails with” in the last paragraph mean? A. Corresponds with. B. Subscribes to. C. Conflicts with. D. Goes to. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A. Why Breaking Goals into Smaller Parts Works B. How Crisis Text Line Increased Volunteer Hours C. The Science of Goal-Setting: A Large-Scale Experiment D. Small Subgoals, Big Impact: Evidence from a Field Study 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究团队通过实地实验验证拆分大目标为小目标的有效性，实验显示该方法提升志愿时长，灵活子目标的效果更持久，且研究与相关成果相契合。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But is there real scientific evidence for its effectiveness?

What makes these soldiers so interesting is not just their different faces — each man ____37____ (think) to be copied from real soldiers — but rather the philosophical implications underlying their construction. Unlike Western works, ____38____ statues often praised human ____39____ (perfect), these clay men carried a Chinese art-rule: the balance between the person and the group. The question that comes up here is ____40____ making so many art pieces lowers or raises their culture worth. New dig finds have shown that the colors ____41____ (original) put on these men had rocks not found in China back then, pointing to trade roads longer ____42____ recorded before. This find fights the old story of old China as a land cut off from the outside world. The building skill seen in the underground rooms is particularly ____43____ (amaze). The makers used a drainage system so well that, even now, it would be considered ____44____ (innovation). Had this technology been documented and disseminated (传播), it might have completely changed architectural practices across ancient civilizations. How we read these quiet guards — as signs of king power or as art wins — depends much on how we see today. Maybe their biggest meaning lies not in what they were meant to show, but in what they have turned into: ____45____ (message) of Chinese life to today’s world. 【答案】36. created 37. is thought 38. whose 39. perfection 40. whether 41. originally 42. than 43. amazing 44. innovative 45. messages 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了兵马俑展现的艺术技艺、哲学内涵、建造特色及对中外交流的见证意义 。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：秦朝时期创作的兵马俑展示了中国古代的艺术技艺。空处作非谓语动词，create与逻辑主语Terra-cotta Warriors之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式created，作后置定语。故填created。 【37题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：使这些士兵如此有趣的不仅仅是他们不同的面孔——每个人都被认为是真实士兵的复制品——而是他们建造背后的哲学含义。空处作谓语，结合语境可知，句子描述客观事实，应用一般现在时，each man与think之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语each man是单数，be动词应用is。故填is thought。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：与西方作品不同，西方的雕像常常赞美人类的完美，这些泥人遵循了中国艺术规则：人与群体的平衡。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Western works，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作定语，应用whose引导。故填whose。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：与西方作品不同，西方的雕像常常赞美人类的完美，这些泥人遵循了中国艺术规则：人与群体的平衡。空处作宾语，应用名词perfection，意为“完美”，是不可数名词。故填perfection。 【40题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：这里出现的问题是，制作如此多的艺术品是降低了还是提高了它们的文化价值。空处引导表语从句，从句不缺成分，句子表示“制作如此多的艺术品是降低了还是提高了它们的文化价值”，应用whether引导。故填whether。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：新的挖掘发现表明，这些泥人最初涂上的颜色含有当时在中国没有发现的岩石，这表明贸易路线比之前记录的要长。空处修饰动词put，应用副词originally“最初”，作状语。故填originally。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：新的考古发现表明，最初涂在这些陶俑身上的色彩所使用的矿石，在当时的中国并未发现，这指向了比以往记载的更长的贸易路线。空处前有比较级longer，结合句意可知，此处表示“比……更”，应用than。故填than。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：地下室的建筑技巧尤其令人惊叹。空处作表语，应用形容词amazing“令人惊叹的”，修饰物。故填amazing。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：建造者使用的排水系统非常好，即使现在，它也被认为是创新的。空处作表语，应用形容词innovative“创新的”。故填innovative。 【45题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：也许它们最大的意义不在于它们想要展示什么，而在于它们变成了什么：向当今世界传递的中国生活信息。空处作表语，结合“of Chinese life to today’s world”可知，信息不止一个，应用名词复数形式messages。故填messages。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你将与交换生Alex在校园音乐节进行二胡与小提琴的合奏。请给他写一封邮件，商讨合奏事宜，内容包括： (1)提出建议； (2)说明理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Alex, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Alex, To make our performance stand out, I suggest we choose a piece that combines the charm of the erhu and the elegance of the violin, like High Mountain and Flowing Water.

A customer came in one day with three, yes, THREE full-grown Saint Bernard dogs to give them all baths. Fortunately, she is very organized: She brought them in one at a time, and it was in the fall, so it was safe for them to be in the car with the windows cracked for a longer time. She and her delightful pets spent somewhere around five to six hours in the store, cycling one dog at a time and using the same tub (桶) so the other two were open to other customers. Unfortunately, one St. Bernard dog got a little too relaxed during her bath and leaned her roughly 130 lbs weight against the spigot (水龙头), causing the elbow joint (接合处) to bend and block the water flow. The customer apologized repeatedly, but my manager assured her it was OK. The customer switched the dog to another tub, and my manager took apart the affected spigot, removing the damaged elbow joint. With that in hand, he grabbed a few $20 and gave them to me with the joint and a request to go to the only nearby store, where the boss has a lovely yellow dog, for a new one. The boss walked by just as I was considering going to ask for help. He greeted me and asked how he could help. I explained I worked at a pet store and that we needed a new part for one of our dog wash tubs. Then I handed him the elbow joint. To my great disappointment, his store didn't have this kind of elbow joint. What was worse, there were no other stores like this in the neighborhood. My store’s business was going really well, and being unable to buy this part would affect our operations — I was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The boss noticed my confusion and glanced back at the elbow joint. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that week, the boss came into our shop with his pet dog. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The boss noticed my confusion and glanced back at the elbow joint. He pondered for a moment and then said, “I know a place where we might find this. It’s a bit of a drive, but I think it’s worth a try.” He grabbed his keys and told me to follow him. We jumped into his car and drove to a small hardware store. The boss went in and explained the situation to the owner, who finally found the exact elbow joint we needed. I was overjoyed and thanked the boss profusely as we headed back to the pet store. Later that week, the boss came into our shop with his pet dog. He greeted me warmly and handed me a small package. Inside was the elbow joint we had bought, along with a note that read, “Just in case you need another one in the future.” Not only had he helped us solve a pressing problem, but he had also gone out of his way to ensure we wouldn’t face the same issue again. From that day on, our shops developed a strong bond, and the boss and I became good friends, always ready to lend a hand to each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了宠物店水龙头零件损坏，附近店铺老板热心帮忙寻找并购买新零件，还额外送了一个备用，两家店铺因此结下深厚情谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“老板注意到我的困惑，回头看了看那个肘关节。”可知，第一段可描写老板提出解决办法，带作者去买零件的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个星期晚些时候，老板带着他的宠物狗来到了我们的商店。”可知，第二段可描写老板送来备用零件，以及两家店铺结下深厚情谊。 2. 续写线索：老板提出解决办法——开车去买零件——买到零件——老板送来备用零件——两家店铺结下深厚情谊 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①解释情况：explain the situation/make the situation clear ②递给：hand/pass/deliver ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类： ①高兴的：overjoyed/delighted ②热情地：warmly/enthusiastically 【点睛】【高分句型1】I know a place where we might find this.(运用了where引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】The boss went in and explained the situation to the owner, who finally found the exact elbow joint we needed.(运用了who引导的定语从句以及省略that引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
