The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc. Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system： ◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins. ◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing areas： Blue bin — for paper and cardboard Green and white bin — for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights Yellow/orange bin — for plastic and metals Brown bin — for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables Gray/black bin — for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste ◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agent/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold. ◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified (有资历的) shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandruckgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits (押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there’re strict health regulations. 1. Which bin should the fallen leaves be classified into？ A. The blue bin. B. The brown bin. C. The grey/black bin. D. The green and white bin. 2. How can Germans deal with some used sneakers？ A. By returning it to special agents. B. By placing it in a specific location. C. By giving it away to those in need. D. By donating it to a Pfandruckgabestelle. 3. What is the aim of Pfand？ A. To collect money for some shops. B. To help shops reuse plastic or glass. C. To reduce the broken bottles. D. To encourage bottles to be returned. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了德国是如何进行垃圾分类和回收的。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Brown bin”部分关键句“for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables”（对于那些可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，如吃剩的食物、水果和蔬菜）可知，棕色垃圾桶用来回收那些可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，落叶可以被细菌可以被细菌自然转化为对环境无害的物质的物品，从而推知，落叶应被归入棕色垃圾桶。故选B项。 2题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold.”（建议捐赠或出售衣服、鞋子、超大垃圾和家具等其他物品。）可知，在德国，建议将衣服、鞋子、超大垃圾和家具等物品捐赠或出售，从而推知，德国人可能会把二手运动鞋捐赠给那些有需要的人。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified shops.”（在德国有一种叫做Pfand的东西，它是瓶装饮料价格的一部分，如果你把瓶子送回经过认证的商店，你会得到它。）可知，Pfand是瓶装饮料价格的一部分，如果你把饮料瓶子送回经过认证的商店，就会得到这部分钱，这是一种鼓励消费者退回瓶子的方法，由此可推断出，Pfand的功能是鼓励消费者退回瓶子。故选D项。 B Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱) . His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing. The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see his work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggest? A. The cat would be closely watched. B. Benjamin would leave his home shortly. C. Benjamin would have real brushes soon. D. The cat would get some medical care. 5. What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent? A. He took him to see painting exhibitions. B. He sent him to a school in Philadelphia. C. He provided him with painting materials. D. He taught him how to make engravings. 6. Williams’ two books helped Benjamin to ___________. A. make up his mind to be a painter B. appreciate landscape paintings C. get to know other painters D. master the use of paints 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. B. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist. C. Williams’ influence on Benjamin. D. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国绘画之父本杰明·韦斯特从小便展示了自己的绘画天赋，身边的亲戚也适时给予了一些帮助，为他后来的绘画才能奠定了基础。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. (那时候，刷子是用骆驼毛做的。附近没有骆驼。本杰明决定用猫毛代替。他从家里的猫身上剪下一些毛做刷子。)”以及第三段中“When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. (回家后，他给本杰明寄去了一盒颜料和一些画笔。他还寄来了一位艺术家的六幅版画。这是本杰明第一次见到图画，第一次见到真正的颜料和画笔。)”可知，上文提到本杰明在没有专业的画笔之前是用猫的毛制作画笔，下文提到他的堂兄给他送来了专业的颜料和画笔。由此可推知，划线句子表明本杰明不久将得到真正的画笔。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. (在城市里，彭宁顿先生给本杰明提供了创作油画的材料。)”可知，彭宁顿为本杰明提供了绘画材料来帮助他发展自己的天赋。故选 C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. (但他后来说：“这两本书白天是我的伴侣，晚上在我的枕头下。”虽然他可能对这些书知之甚少，但它们是他接触古典绘画的入门书籍。九岁的男孩决定成为一名艺术家。)”可知，威廉姆斯的两本书对本杰明很有帮助，因为它们帮助他下定决心要成为一名画家，引导着这个九岁的男孩走上了绘画的道路。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了本杰明·韦斯特在六岁到九岁时对绘画的热爱，但是他面临着一些问题以及大艺术家威廉·威廉姆斯对他的影响及帮助，引导着他走上了艺术家的道路。由此可知，文章主要介绍了本杰明成为艺术家的开始。故选B项。 C Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” she says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18–and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 8. What mainly contributes to the challenges for today’s journalists? A. More printed newspapers are in great need. B. The newsroom jobs are decreasing worldwide. C. Online newspapers take the place of printed ones. D. Online media platforms are developing quickly. 9. What does the underlined word “bleak” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Interesting. C. Inspiring. D. Encouraging. 10. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They reduce student enrollment. B. They offer students specialized programs. C. They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs. D. They encourage students to run their own newspaper. 11. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists. B. To prove the potential of a career in journalism. C. To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. D. To prove people’s thirst for the latest news. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新闻业未来的发展与面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. (今天的记者面临着现代的挑战。网络媒体平台如雨后春笋般涌现。地位低下的报纸及其记者正在与金钱、技术和不信任问题作斗争)”可知，今天的记者面临的挑战主要是网络媒体平台发展迅速。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. (根据北卡罗来纳大学（UNC）的数据，全国新闻编辑室的工作岗位不到10年前的一半。)”可知，全国的新闻编辑部的工作岗位不到十年前的一半，结合第三段中的“Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only.(以纽约锡拉丘兹的学生报纸《每日橘子报》（the Daily Orange）为例：它不再是日报了。这份报纸每周只印刷三次。明年，马里兰大学的The Diamondback将只在网上开放。)”可知，学生报纸的现状堪忧，由此可知，在许多大学校园里，关于新闻的消息同样也是令人沮丧的，由此可知，划线单词的意思与“令人沮丧的”意义相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. (一些大学正在采取行动。佛罗里达大学提供体育媒体课程。一些学校强调统计驱动的数据新闻。)”可知，一些大学正在采取行动，会给学生提供专门的课程。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. (Maddy Arrowood是the Daily Tar Heel的学生编辑。她说，她的经历使她对新闻事业更感兴趣，而不是更不感兴趣)”可知，马迪的经历让她对新闻事业更感兴趣，所以最后一段提到她是为了说明“新闻业的发展具有潜力”。故选B。 D Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Simply put: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends). Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to dynamic, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson. The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses pairwise across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network. The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables, including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two. 12. What can we learn about the study mentioned in the text? A. It is original and checks people’s neural responses. B. It has yet to win recognition from the academic world. C. It involved more than 200 students watching various videos. D. It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The design of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The innovation of the study. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study? A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Neural Responses Shape Social Bonds B. How Videos Connect People’s Minds C. The Science Behind Social Networks. D. Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究发现朋友之间对现实世界的刺激有相似的神经反应，这些相似性可以用来预测谁是你的朋友。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. (该研究发表在《自然通讯》杂志上，是同类研究中首次研究现实社会网络中人们神经反应之间的联系)” 可知，这项研究具有原创性，且测验了人们的神经反应。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students.(这项研究分析了280名研究生之间的友谊或社会联系)”和“Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner.(42名学生被要求观看一系列视频，同时他们的神经活动被功能磁共振成像(fMRI)扫描仪记录下来)”可知，本段主要介绍研究对象的选择、实验方法以及数据收集等，即这项研究的过程。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips.( 研究人员发现，仅根据两个人在观看一系列不熟悉的视频片段时的大脑活动，他们就能准确预测两个人的亲密程度。)”和最后一段的“The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning.( 研究结果显示，朋友之间的神经反应相似性最强，这种模式出现在涉及情绪反应和高级推理的大脑区域。)”并通读全文可知，作者在文中只是客观地介绍了这项研究的内容、过程和发现等，没有明显的支持、怀疑或冷漠的态度，所以是中立的(Neutral)态度，故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are.(根据达特茅斯学院的一项研究发现，朋友对现实世界的刺激有相似的神经反应，这些相似性可以用来预测谁是你的朋友)”可知，文章点明研究发现可以通过大脑对视频的反应预测两人关系，接着介绍研究的原创性、研究过程以及研究结果表明朋友间神经反应相似性最强且可用于预测友谊，文章整体围绕通过神经反应揭示友谊的研究展开。因此D项“从神经模式看友谊。”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。 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。 Helping Your Teen Understand the Value of Money It seems that there are more things for teens to spend money on than ever. There are expensive clothes, video games, MP3 players, and more. ____16____ That’s why it’s important to help them understand the value of money. Start teaching your children about money early. Starting around age 10, give them a few dollars every week for them to spend however they want. ____17____ But let them choose what they want to do. Don’t set limits on what they can spend it on, and don’t continually buy them things they want. They’ll soon learn that if they spend all their money as soon as they get it, they won’t be able to afford more expensive things they want. You should also start early introducing your children to budgets (预算) and how much things cost. Have them go to the store with you or watch you pay the bills. ____18____ As your child gets older, about 13 or 14, increase their pocket money as you increase their responsibility. Once they’re more responsible, give them a budget for something bigger like clothes and make them stick to it. Eventually, your child will probably get a job. ____19____ Have them put some into a savings account to use for college or other pursuits. Let them use the rest as mad money to spend however they want. If you’re worried about what they’re buying, open them a checking account you can monitor. ____20____ It takes many small steps. Remember that they will probably mess up along the way, but mistakes are how they learn. A. Help them choose a well-paid job. B. And you can also encourage them to pay the bills. C. Take this opportunity to teach them about savings. D. Soon they’ll realize how much some things really cost. E. Make the pocket money dependent on doing housework. F. Teaching your child the value of money will not happen overnight. G. If you aren’t made of money, it’s hard to give your kids everything they want. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对如何教育孩子认识到金钱的价值提出了建议和方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“There are expensive clothes, video games, MP3 players, and more.”(有昂贵的衣服、电子游戏、MP3播放器等等。)和后文“That’s why it’s important to help them understand the value of money.”(这就是为什么帮助他们理解金钱的价值是很重要的。)可知，此处是指不可能给孩子买一切他们想要的昂贵物品，所以需要让他们认识到金钱的价值，所以选项G“如果你不是很有钱，就很难给你的孩子他们想要的一切。”切合文意。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Starting around age 10, give them a few dollars every week for them to spend however they want.”(从10岁左右开始，每周给他们几美元，让他们想怎么花就怎么花。)可知，此处是讲给孩子零花钱，根据后文“But let them choose what they want to do.”(但让他们选择自己想做事。)可知，此处是指让孩子通过做事情获得零花钱，所以选项E“让零花钱取决于做家务。”切合文意。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据前文“You should also start early introducing your children to budgets (预算) and how much things cost.”(你也应该尽早向你的孩子介绍预算和花费。)和“Have them go to the store with you or watch you pay the bills.”(让他们和你一起去商店，或者看着你付账单。)可知，此处是指通过让孩子一起去商店或者看着付账单让孩子了解预算和花费，所以选项D“很快他们就会意识到有些东西实际上要花多少钱。”切合文意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Have them put some into a savings account to use for college or other pursuits.”(让他们存一些钱到储蓄账户里，用于上大学或其他追求。)可知，此处是指教会孩子存钱，所以选项C“利用这个机会教他们储蓄。”切合文意。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据后文“It takes many small steps.”(这需要很多小步骤。)可知，此处是指教育孩子不能一蹴而就，所以选项F“教育你的孩子金钱的价值不会一蹴而就。”切合文意。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Normally, half teachers would leave the profession by their fifth year. I, a fourth-year teacher, would probably ____21____ them. Although many students ____22____ my class, especially my skills and patience, I still didn’t think what I was doing ____23____. I still kept praying for a sign to stay, though. One Saturday morning Lyric, my teaching assistant, asked if I could meet him and Ari for dinner, ____24____ some advice on college applications. I politely ____25____. However, my ____26____ for that day was so fully packed that I couldn’t spare a minute. I had meant to call Lyric to fix another day. As I had promised, I ____27____ to make it to the restaurant. The moment I stepped in, I was ____28____ surprised — a long table full of students, all standing and dressed up. They yelled, “Surprise!” Just imagine how ____29____ I was then. As each came up and hugged me, I kept asking, “What on earth is all this for?” After everyone ____30____, Lyric made a toast (敬酒): “Mr. Schultz, you make all of us feel loved; you make us feel like we ____31____. We are doing what you’ve taught us. You, mean a lot to us; and we, all love you.” Hearing that, I was in tears, ____32____. Past memories crowded in. For four years I had ended every class, every day, with these parting____33____, “Love larger. Give greater. Be kinder. Lift others.” Then and there, I finally realized my perseverance (坚持) mattered.

It is only natural that young girls at your age hope to look beautiful. However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. If a person has lost his health, whether physically or mentally, chances are that he will be anxious and depressed, not to mention of aiming to work hard.

The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind as it will help with your study, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting.

The two pieces became one faster than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the patches (补丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree. “Grandma， that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.” “Oh sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.” Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同) and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (发出微光) in the light. Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind--a good place to stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.” The dark engulfed (吞没) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “Its OK.” she smiled. “Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness. Paragraph 1: “I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: “I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma. After a while, a beam of light appeared and a lady walked out of the darkness. Grandma opened the shopping bag and pulled out the multicolored quilt. “That’s pretty and it looks warm,” the lady exclaimed and took the quilt, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude. As we walked back down the alley, I looked over my shoulder and saw the lady holding the quilt tightly to her face. “You’re right, Grandma. That is a beautiful quilt.” On our ride back home, the lady’s grateful words were still ringing in my ears. Para 2: Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard. I asked Grandma curiously, Grandma, why is there a quilt here? After a moment of silence, Grandma began to share her own story. On a freezing night decades ago, as a poor young woman sleeping in the same alley, Grandma was offered a quilt, which warmed her up. She was determined to pass the love forward. That’s why Grandma sewed the old clothes together and made quilts for those in need. After hearing the story, I gave Grandma the biggest hug ever. I thought of all the clothes I didn’t want to wear anymore and knew what Grandma and I would do the next morning. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写，要求考生续写两段内容使之与已给出的材料构成一篇完整的短文。 【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者看到奶奶缝制了一条带有各种补丁的被子，认为这条被子非常的丑陋。但是，奶奶却说被子的美不在于它的外表，而在于这条被子是用爱缝制的。之后，奶奶和作者一起来到城里破旧而又寒冷的街道。作者很害怕，这时，从胡同里传来了声音。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：奶奶说：我有一条暖和的被子，如果你想要的话。所以接下来应该写刚才说话的人从胡同里走出来，奶奶把被子送给这个人。这个人收下被子，并且非常感激，之后，作者和奶奶上车离开。此处，也可以描写一下作者在现场的感受。 第二段开头是：回到家里，我碰巧在壁橱里发现了一条破旧的被子……本段应该写作者向奶奶询问这条被子的来历。奶奶向作者讲述这条被子的故事，以及缝制被子送给他人的原因。作者从中学到了很多道理，并且决心向奶奶学习做些慈善的事情。 续写时我们要按照已给出的材料中的关键词来写两段内容。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：a beam of light， pull out，ring in my ears，by accident，be determined to，等高级词汇；“That’s pretty and it looks warm,” the lady exclaimed and took the quilt, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.一句中的her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.为独立主格结构；As we walked back down the alley, I looked over my shoulder and saw the lady holding the quilt tightly to her face.一句中使用了as引导的时间状语从句，以及感官动词的复合结构；as a poor young woman sleeping in the same alley, Grandma was offered a quilt, which warmed her up.一句使用了which引导的非限制性定语从句。That’s why Grandma sewed the old clothes together and made quilts for those in need. 一句使用了why引导的表语从句；I thought of all the clothes I didn’t want to wear anymore and knew what Grandma and I would do the next morning.一句使用了what引导的宾语从句。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省通州高级中学2025级高一年级第二次阶段性测试学科英语 命题人： 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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。 1.

The country has quite a detailed way of sorting their waste-down to the color of glass waste, the type of paper, the separate bin for metals, etc. Here below are what you should know about Germany’s waste sorting system： ◇You are expected to gather your waste in your apartment/housing area’s local public garbage bins. ◇There are commonly several types of public garbage bins available in the German’s apartment/housing areas： Blue bin — for paper and cardboard Green and white bin — for glass, different bins for differently colored glass, not available for holiday decorations and lights Yellow/orange bin — for plastic and metals Brown bin — for goods that can be changed naturally by bacteria into substances that don’t harm the environment, like leftovers, fruit and vegetables Gray/black bin — for everything else that can’t be recycled such as used cat litter and animal waste ◇Some items don’t belong in these public garbage bins. Items like used batteries, electronics, unused paints, and lights must be returned to the special agent/locations so they can be properly recycled. Other items such as clothes, shoes, and oversized rubbish and furniture are advised to be donated or sold. ◇There’s this thing called Pfand in Germany, a certain part of the price for a bottled drink that you get back if you send back the bottle to certified (有资历的) shops. German law requires shops over a certain size selling bottled drinks have a Pfandruckgabestelle, or place for bottles with deposits (押金). These bottles usually made of glass or plastic will be refilled. Of course, there’re strict health regulations. 1. Which bin should the fallen leaves be classified into？ A. The blue bin. B. The brown bin. C. The grey/black bin. D. The green and white bin. 2. How can Germans deal with some used sneakers？ A. By returning it to special agents. B. By placing it in a specific location. C.

To reduce the broken bottles. D. To encourage bottles to be returned. B Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱) . His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing. The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see his work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggest? A. The cat would be closely watched. B. Benjamin would leave his home shortly. C. Benjamin would have real brushes soon. D. The cat would get some medical care. 5. What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent? A. He took him to see painting exhibitions. B. He sent him to a school in Philadelphia. C. He provided him with painting materials. D. He taught him how to make engravings. 6. Williams’ two books helped Benjamin to ___________. A make up his mind to be a painter B. appreciate landscape paintings C. get to know other painters D. master the use of paints 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. B. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist. C. Williams’ influence on Benjamin. D. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia. C Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” she says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18–and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 8. What mainly contributes to the challenges for today’s journalists? A. More printed newspapers are in great need. B. The newsroom jobs are decreasing worldwide. C. Online newspapers take the place of printed ones. D. Online media platforms are developing quickly. 9. What does the underlined word “bleak” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Interesting. C. Inspiring. D. Encouraging. 10. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They reduce student enrollment. B. They offer students specialized programs. C. They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs. D. They encourage students to run their own newspaper. 11. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists. B. To prove the potential of a career in journalism. C. To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. D. To prove people’s thirst for the latest news. D Researchers found that they could accurately predict how close two people were based only on their brain activity in response to a series of unfamiliar video clips. Simply put: You and your best friends really do think alike. According to a Dartmouth study finding, friends have similar neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can be used to predict who your friends are. The study reveals that friends have the most similar neural activity patterns, followed by friends-of-friends who, in turn, have more similar neural activity than people three degrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends). Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examine the connections between the neural reaction of people within a real-world social network. “Neural responses to dynamic, naturalistic stimuli, like videos, can give us a window into people’s unlimited, unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Our results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,” says lead author Carolyn Parkinson. The study analyzed the friendships or social ties within a group of 280 graduate students. The researchers estimated the social distance between pairs of individuals based on mutually (相互地) reported social ties. Forty-two of the students were asked to watch a range of videos while their neural activity was recorded in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. The videos covered a range of topics and genres, including politics, science, comedy and music videos, for which a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the same videos in the same order, with the same instructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses pairwise across the set of students to determine if pairs of students who were friends had more similar brain activity than pairs further removed from each other in their social network. The findings revealed that neural response similarity was strongest among friends, and this pattern appeared across brain regions involved in emotional responding and high-level reasoning. Even when the researchers controlled variables, including left-handedness or right-handedness, age, gender, race, and nationality, the analogy in neural activity among friends was still evident. The team also found that fMRI response similarities could be used to predict not only if a pair were friends but also the social distance between the two. 12. What can we learn about the study mentioned in the text? A. It is original and checks people’s neural responses. B. It has yet to win recognition from the academic world. C. It involved more than 200 students watching various videos. D. It required a professional device to analyze participants’ conversation. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The design of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The innovation of the study. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study? A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Neural Responses Shape Social Bonds B. How Videos Connect People’s Minds C The Science Behind Social Networks. D. Friendship Seen Through Neural Patterns. 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。 Helping Your Teen Understand the Value of Money It seems that there are more things for teens to spend money on than ever.

The two pieces became one faster than I’d imagined. The colors, however, looked ugly when put together and none of the patterns matched. All the patches (补丁) on this blanket seemed to disagree. “Grandma， that’s the ugliest quilt (棉被) I’ve ever seen.” “Oh, sweetie, it’s warm and beautiful,” said Grandma, pointing to a pile of crazy patterned shirts and suits. “I can take these old clothes that Grandpa and I will never wear again and turn them into something useful and good. It’s not the quilts appearance but the love that sews it together that makes it beautiful. This quilt will keep you warm on a cold night like tonight. And I know that for a fact.” Grandma put her hand on my shoulder, “Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Here, put on your coat. We’ll get a second opinion about how ugly my quilts are.” Grandma folded a finished quilt and tucked it into a shopping bag. Afterwards, we got in the car and drove downtown. The white snow turned grayer as we got to the city. Eventually, Grandma pulled up at a dark alley (胡同) and we got out of the car. The terrible smell of rotting garbage made me feel sick and pinch my nose shut. Grandma took my hand and led me to the street lamp. I could see the snow shimmering (发出微光) in the light. Grandma paused. “There’s usually somebody down this alley. It’s quiet and out of the wind--a good place to stay on cold nights. A nice warm quilt might make it even better.” The dark engulfed (吞没) Grandma and I as we stepped deep into the alley. The pavement was cracked and missing in spots. Chicken bones and stained boxes littered their way. And Grandma’s shoes made a loud sound with each step. Feeling frightened, I squeezed Grandma’s hand. Grandma squeezed my hand back. “Its OK.” she smiled. “Who’s there?” shouted a voice out of the darkness. Paragraph 1: “I have a nice warm quilt, if you want it,” said Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Back home, I found a worn-out quilt by accident in a cupboard. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
