II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Shop Smart During Store Closing Sales When a major store like Toys R Us goes out of business, it’s easy to assume that everything on the shelves is being sold at a huge discount. “Store Closing” signs make shoppers feel pressured to act fast, encouraging them 21 (rush) in and grab what they can. But in reality, liquidation sales often require careful attention if you want to find real value. Liquidation sales, which are special sales held when a store is going out of business, 22 (design) to sell off all items quickly — but that doesn’t necessarily mean the prices are the lowest. Many liquidation events begin 23 not-so-big discounts, usually around 20%, and the reductions deepen as time goes on. By then, however, the most desirable items may already be gone. That’s 24 experts recommend comparing prices at other stores or online before making a purchase. Shoppers should also be careful when using gift cards. Once a store files for bankruptcy (破产), it may stop 25 (honor) gift cards without warning. This happened when Borders shut down in 2011 — many customers were left holding worthless cards. 26 (use) in a timely manner, a gift card from a closing store can still hold its full value. Another important point: check every item thoroughly. In most cases, liquidation purchases are final sale, meaning you can’t return anything 27 it’s damaged. Electronics, in particular, 28 be tested or inspected before buying. Be mindful of marketing tricks too. Phrases like “Everything Must Go!” or “Best Prices Ever!” often 29 (create) pressure. Instead of buying on impulse (冲动), take a moment to ask yourself whether the item is really worth it. In short, store closures can offer great deals — but only to shoppers 30 do their homework, stay alert, and shop smart. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．fundamentally          B．incorporate          C． called              D．remains E. weird                 F. lively               G. integrating          H. frequent I. determined             J. projecting            K. capture New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Does “evolution” really 31 our deepening involvement with technology today, or should we instead speak of human-technology coevolution? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something 32 a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really 33 . Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more 34 . For the parent it might be a homeschool video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine optimization (最优化). And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our competence to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future innovations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are 35 changing for just about everyone.   Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in 36 the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the toddler and the teacher to understand, embrace and digest technology will be a decisive aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly 37 by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to 38 technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this dynamic is not without complexity and concerns, it 39 virtually inevitable. As TQ grows, this engagement can interact with our traditional IQ and BQ capabilities, allowing for a more dynamic and fulfilling human experience. 40 TQ with IQ and EQ will play a practical and functional role in society, business, and education, quantifying the ability of adopting and integrating technology. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Are you sitting cross-legged right now as you read this? Were you aware of the fact that your sitting position can 41 impact your body, especially if you sit with your legs crossed at the knee? 42 , humans lead a largely sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle. Adults spend an average of 7.7 hours a day sitting, according to a survey. Such a lifestyle can 43 the risk of various diseases, ranging from diabetes (糖尿病) to cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. People sit with their legs crossed at the knee for both psychological and physiological reasons. It’s a 44 behavior that changes into a habit, although the act of crossing one’s legs can be seen as a power move in certain settings, such as business or politics. Depending on the 45 , sitting cross-legged can mean a person is either relaxed or defensive. Body language experts note that if you see someone sitting this way in a meeting, it may indicate they have emotionally stopped 46 the conversation. They tend to 47 fewer details of what was discussed. You may also find it more 48 to persuade them to accept your point of view. Dr. Steven Weiniger, a posture expert, explains that many people sit cross-legged to ease the pressure on their lower backs. What they don’t realize, however, is that 49 to ease the pressure on one part of the body can add pressure to other parts. A 2014 study found that sitting with crossed legs for three or more hours per day can cause pelvic tilt (骨盆倾斜). This means that one hip (臀部) will be higher than the other. This position 50 your gluteus medius, one of the muscles that is located on the side of your hip. When that muscle loses power, it can allow your pelvis to shift out of 51 . The 2014 study also noted that the lower back bend caused by crossing your legs for three or more hours at a time can 52 the position of your head, causing you to push it farther forward. This position can lead to neck pain and general muscle 53 . Crossing your legs can also cause spinal (脊椎的) problems. If you hold this position 54 , it can actually lead to scoliosis in which case your spine curves (弯曲) sideways. This can lead to pain, as well as muscle and joint issues. Dr. Naresh Rao of N.Y.U.’s Langone Medical Center suggests not sitting cross-legged “for longer than you need to drink a cup of coffee.” In fact, not only should sitting cross-legged be 55 , but prolonged sitting in general should be as well. 41．A．actively B．negatively C．positively D．rarely 42．A．As a result B．By the way C．In a sense D．On the whole 43．A．decrease B．diagnose C．expose D．increase 44．A．foreign B．learned C．native D．recommended 45．A．context B．glance C．occupation D．race 46．A．giving way to B．having pity on C．making use of D．taking part in 47．A．file B．lose C．neglect D．remember 48．A．difficult B．effortless C．necessary D．worthy 49．A．attempts B．contests C．doubts D．requests 50．A．deepens B．lengthens C．strengthens D．weakens 51．A．control B．order C．place D．trouble 52．A．affect B．fasten C．improve D．remain 53．A．differences B．existences C．imbalances D．resistances 54．A．accidentally B．basically C．habitually D．originally 55．A．done harm to B．kept track of C．paid attention to D．taken charge of Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A My husband became very ill, leaving me to do everything in our home. By night time, I felt as if I was moving in slow motion. One such evening, I noticed that my Bluebird diamond wedding ring — which I had worn for more than half a century — was missing. I was devastated. I looked everywhere. No luck. My family told me to retrace my steps. That would be a task, for that day I had closed a bank account, taken my car in to get it fixed, and gone for an eye exam. I sat, feeling numb. My mind wandered back in time to when I had caught my first glimpse of the man I married. I was five and often tagged along with my dad. That particular day, we came upon a large herd of Black Angus cattle being driven near the roadside. I was looking at the youngest rider. He seemed to be about nine years old. I waved to him, but he just tended to the cattle. Perhaps he was shy. Next my memory travelled to my senior year in high school. It was on such a day that a black hardtop car went by real slow. A passenger yelled, “Girls, do you want to ride around with us?” Among the people in the car was the young cowboy who hadn’t responded to my wave 13 years before! But he wasn’t ignoring me now. So, our love affair began. He offered the ring a few months later. The daydream passed. My daughter Jan called. “Mum, you should shop for a new ring. Where do you want to go?” she asked. “A pawn shop (当铺),” I said. At the shop, we found five jewelry cases to look through. One was too big, another too small, and the third too expensive. So we continued to the next case. As I slipped it on my finger, I shouted, “Here’s my lost ring! See how it just fits.” Everyone in the store turned to the young man helping us. He got a magnifying glass out and said, “It is a Bluebird.” The police got involved. Weeks later, I got a call from an officer who told me that a girl had found it in the mall parking lot. I’m still in awe that I found my ring. How did I know to go to that pawn shop? Was it intuition? The work of angels? Just curiosity? I’m not sure I’ll ever know. But I did learn that sometimes things are gone for a while before they reappear to be claimed. Just like my man. And just like my ring. 56．What was everyday life like for the writer when the story happened? A．Hopeless. B．Exhausting. C．Romantic.

B．Her own instinct to go to a pawn shop. C．Something she was not definite about. D．Some unknown angels sent by God. 59．What serves as the best title of the story?

D．Car Maintenance for Beginners C Over the past few years, areas in East Asia, North America and northern Europe have been colder than normal during some periods of winter. This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing global warming or not, but scientists have shown that Earth’s warming trends are responsible. When people in the Northern Hemisphere hear North Pole or Arctic region, they automatically think of the hemisphere’s northernmost area, the home of extremely cold weather during late fall and winter. During this time, very little, if any, sunlight reaches the Arctic’s stratosphere, one layer of Earth’s atmosphere that exists six to 20 kilometers above Earth’s surface. To balance the temperature difference with that of the warm equatorial region, an area of low pressure called the polar vortex forms and flows in a complete circle around the pole. This occurs inside the stratosphere about 10 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. While this belt of strong winds is usually stable and able to keep the cold air contained, it can be destroyed by loss of sea ice, due to global warming. This results in surface temperatures changing, changes which make them less stable. If this happens, the polar vortex may shift, slipping off the North Pole and moving south, or it can separate into two or three rings that form in multiple places far south of the pole. This stretching or distortion of the polar vortex also makes influences on the path of the polar jet stream, which is responsible for Earth’s weather. This jet stream, along with three other primary jet streams in different parts of the world, is located in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer just below the stratosphere. The polar jet stream’s air currents blow from 177 kilometers an hour to over 400 kilometers an hour and from west to east between 50 degrees and 60 degrees latitude — think from France to Norway. The differences in cold polar air and warm mid-latitude air form the polar jet stream, and its movement prolongs periods of cold or warm weather in different regions. Large temperature differences between the Arctic and mid-latitudes cause the polar jet stream to be strong and move straight, keeping the cold in the north. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and mid-latitudes is decreasing, making the polar jet stream slower and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream more likely to bend north and south. When it bends far enough, the barrier between Arctic and mid-latitude air can dive down to Mexico, taking Arctic temperatures along for the ride. Although heat and cold are considered opposites, in the case of climate, the former can cause the latter. 63．The word “prolong” (para 5) is closest in meaning to ________. A．extend B．regulate C．control D．shorten 64．What is suggested in the passage? A．Heat and cold are opposite but they can change each other. B．The air layers above the earth are responsible for climate change. C．The extreme cold in some areas originated from other areas’ heat. D．The Warming Earth is actually caused by the Colder Winters. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The streams in the Northern Hemisphere have to move to the South. B．It is certain that the Earth will become warmer and warmer. C．The temperature difference between day and night will decrease. D．The colder areas might gradually become larger and larger in the future. 66．What is the main focus of the passage? A．The Relationship between Warming Earth and Colder Winters B．The Strange Phenomenon of Warming Earth with Colder Winters C．The Temperature Differences between the Arctic and Mid-latitude Areas D．The Potential Reasons for Earth Becoming Warmer and Warmer Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once.

I used to pick wild blackberries, catch a dinner of blue crabs, and run between the rows of the tall corn plants. I knew what wild garlic looked like; when the figs (无花果) on the fig trees were ready to eat, I ate them. 67 “They’re so sweet, Mom,” they tell me. But instead of teaching my kids about that landscape, I decided to instill in them a love of the land where they live. Suburbia is not as obviously lovable as tidewater country, but I was determined to practice PBL — place-based learning. That’s a thing in education. I looked it up. So we went to the abandoned parking lot near the dead mall and looked for dandelion (蒲公英) greens, which make a delicious bitter spring salad. We dug with sticks on the road being paved for Wegmans grocery store. My ten-year-old found some colourful rocks. They inspired him to start a rock collection. “This is cool, Mom,” he said. 68 They inherited both from early man. So I’ve been teaching them to search, the way my mother taught me and her mother taught her, all the way back to my ancestral people, the old-country mushroom hunters of Alsace. In the fall, I took my kids to stands of chestnut (栗子) trees and showed them how to get out the edible nuts. We came home with full bags, and I made sweet chestnut puree (糊), which we ate with a big spoon, like a homemade chocolate jam. 69 The beauty of it. That it, rather than supermarkets, sustains them. That they should have appreciation for all the parts of the living soil. 70    We simply walk, observe, feel the dirt under our feet, and occasionally bring home something we harvested with our own hands. The kids smiled with pride of place. A．I felt that I had taught them some big lesson about the earth. B．I grew up spending summers at my grandparents’ farm. C．I read in my wild-edible field guide that they taste like mango. D．I’ve taught my kids to do the same. E．It has been revolutionary to be outside, in the suburbs. F．It wasn’t a stretch to capitalize on my children’s instincts to explore their world and to eat from it. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage.

Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills. A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well. What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team. To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader. It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．如果你身陷火灾，用湿毛巾捂住口鼻来确保呼吸顺畅。 (ensure) (汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 73．你看上去有点心力交瘁，你是否想在放学后和我聊一聊近期的烦心事呢?

II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Shop Smart During Store Closing Sales When a major store like Toys R Us goes out of business, it’s easy to assume that everything on the shelves is being sold at a huge discount. “Store Closing” signs make shoppers feel pressured to act fast, encouraging them 21 (rush) in and grab what they can. But in reality, liquidation sales often require careful attention if you want to find real value. Liquidation sales, which are special sales held when a store is going out of business, 22 (design) to sell off all items quickly — but that doesn’t necessarily mean the prices are the lowest. Many liquidation events begin 23 not-so-big discounts, usually around 20%, and the reductions deepen as time goes on. By then, however, the most desirable items may already be gone. That’s 24 experts recommend comparing prices at other stores or online before making a purchase. Shoppers should also be careful when using gift cards. Once a store files for bankruptcy (破产), it may stop 25 (honor) gift cards without warning. This happened when Borders shut down in 2011 — many customers were left holding worthless cards. 26 (use) in a timely manner, a gift card from a closing store can still hold its full value. Another important point: check every item thoroughly. In most cases, liquidation purchases are final sale, meaning you can’t return anything 27 it’s damaged. Electronics, in particular, 28 be tested or inspected before buying. Be mindful of marketing tricks too. Phrases like “Everything Must Go!” or “Best Prices Ever!” often 29 (create) pressure. Instead of buying on impulse (冲动), take a moment to ask yourself whether the item is really worth it. In short, store closures can offer great deals — but only to shoppers 30 do their homework, stay alert, and shop smart.

Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Does “evolution” really 31 our deepening involvement with technology today, or should we instead speak of human-technology coevolution? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something 32 a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really 33 . Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more 34 . For the parent it might be a homeschool video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine optimization (最优化). And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our competence to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future innovations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are 35 changing for just about everyone.   Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in 36 the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the toddler and the teacher to understand, embrace and digest technology will be a decisive aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly 37 by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to 38 technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this dynamic is not without complexity and concerns, it 39 virtually inevitable. As TQ grows, this engagement can interact with our traditional IQ and BQ capabilities, allowing for a more dynamic and fulfilling human experience. 40 TQ with IQ and EQ will play a practical and functional role in society, business, and education, quantifying the ability of adopting and integrating technology. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Are you sitting cross-legged right now as you read this? Were you aware of the fact that your sitting position can 41 impact your body, especially if you sit with your legs crossed at the knee? 42 , humans lead a largely sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle. Adults spend an average of 7.7 hours a day sitting, according to a survey. Such a lifestyle can 43 the risk of various diseases, ranging from diabetes (糖尿病) to cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. People sit with their legs crossed at the knee for both psychological and physiological reasons. It’s a 44 behavior that changes into a habit, although the act of crossing one’s legs can be seen as a power move in certain settings, such as business or politics. Depending on the 45 , sitting cross-legged can mean a person is either relaxed or defensive. Body language experts note that if you see someone sitting this way in a meeting, it may indicate they have emotionally stopped 46 the conversation. They tend to 47 fewer details of what was discussed. You may also find it more 48 to persuade them to accept your point of view. Dr. Steven Weiniger, a posture expert, explains that many people sit cross-legged to ease the pressure on their lower backs. What they don’t realize, however, is that 49 to ease the pressure on one part of the body can add pressure to other parts. A 2014 study found that sitting with crossed legs for three or more hours per day can cause pelvic tilt (骨盆倾斜). This means that one hip (臀部) will be higher than the other. This position 50 your gluteus medius, one of the muscles that is located on the side of your hip. When that muscle loses power, it can allow your pelvis to shift out of 51 . The 2014 study also noted that the lower back bend caused by crossing your legs for three or more hours at a time can 52 the position of your head, causing you to push it farther forward. This position can lead to neck pain and general muscle 53 . Crossing your legs can also cause spinal (脊椎的) problems. If you hold this position 54 , it can actually lead to scoliosis in which case your spine curves (弯曲) sideways. This can lead to pain, as well as muscle and joint issues. Dr. Naresh Rao of N.Y.U.’s Langone Medical Center suggests not sitting cross-legged “for longer than you need to drink a cup of coffee.” In fact, not only should sitting cross-legged be 55 , but prolonged sitting in general should be as well. 41．A．actively B．negatively C．positively D．rarely 42．A．As a result B．By the way C．In a sense D．On the whole 43．A．decrease B．diagnose C．expose D．increase 44．A．foreign B．learned C．native D．recommended 45．A．context B．glance C．occupation D．race 46．A．giving way to B．having pity on C．making use of D．taking part in 47．A．file B．lose C．neglect D．remember 48．A．difficult B．effortless C．necessary D．worthy 49．A．attempts B．contests C．doubts D．requests 50．A．deepens B．lengthens C．strengthens D．weakens 51．A．control B．order C．place D．trouble 52．A．affect B．fasten C．improve D．remain 53．A．differences B．existences C．imbalances D．resistances 54．A．accidentally B．basically C．habitually D．originally 55．A．done harm to B．kept track of C．paid attention to D．taken charge of Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A My husband became very ill, leaving me to do everything in our home. By night time, I felt as if I was moving in slow motion. One such evening, I noticed that my Bluebird diamond wedding ring — which I had worn for more than half a century — was missing. I was devastated. I looked everywhere. No luck. My family told me to retrace my steps. That would be a task, for that day I had closed a bank account, taken my car in to get it fixed, and gone for an eye exam. I sat, feeling numb. My mind wandered back in time to when I had caught my first glimpse of the man I married. I was five and often tagged along with my dad. That particular day, we came upon a large herd of Black Angus cattle being driven near the roadside. I was looking at the youngest rider. He seemed to be about nine years old. I waved to him, but he just tended to the cattle. Perhaps he was shy. Next my memory travelled to my senior year in high school. It was on such a day that a black hardtop car went by real slow. A passenger yelled, “Girls, do you want to ride around with us?” Among the people in the car was the young cowboy who hadn’t responded to my wave 13 years before! But he wasn’t ignoring me now. So, our love affair began. He offered the ring a few months later. The daydream passed. My daughter Jan called. “Mum, you should shop for a new ring. Where do you want to go?” she asked. “A pawn shop (当铺),” I said. At the shop, we found five jewelry cases to look through. One was too big, another too small, and the third too expensive. So we continued to the next case. As I slipped it on my finger, I shouted, “Here’s my lost ring! See how it just fits.” Everyone in the store turned to the young man helping us. He got a magnifying glass out and said, “It is a Bluebird.” The police got involved. Weeks later, I got a call from an officer who told me that a girl had found it in the mall parking lot. I’m still in awe that I found my ring. How did I know to go to that pawn shop? Was it intuition? The work of angels? Just curiosity? I’m not sure I’ll ever know. But I did learn that sometimes things are gone for a while before they reappear to be claimed. Just like my man. And just like my ring. 56．What was everyday life like for the writer when the story happened? A．Hopeless. B．Exhausting. C．Romantic.

D．Car Maintenance for Beginners C Over the past few years, areas in East Asia, North America and northern Europe have been colder than normal during some periods of winter. This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing global warming or not, but scientists have shown that Earth’s warming trends are responsible. When people in the Northern Hemisphere hear North Pole or Arctic region, they automatically think of the hemisphere’s northernmost area, the home of extremely cold weather during late fall and winter. During this time, very little, if any, sunlight reaches the Arctic’s stratosphere, one layer of Earth’s atmosphere that exists six to 20 kilometers above Earth’s surface. To balance the temperature difference with that of the warm equatorial region, an area of low pressure called the polar vortex forms and flows in a complete circle around the pole. This occurs inside the stratosphere about 10 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. While this belt of strong winds is usually stable and able to keep the cold air contained, it can be destroyed by loss of sea ice, due to global warming. This results in surface temperatures changing, changes which make them less stable. If this happens, the polar vortex may shift, slipping off the North Pole and moving south, or it can separate into two or three rings that form in multiple places far south of the pole. This stretching or distortion of the polar vortex also makes influences on the path of the polar jet stream, which is responsible for Earth’s weather. This jet stream, along with three other primary jet streams in different parts of the world, is located in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer just below the stratosphere. The polar jet stream’s air currents blow from 177 kilometers an hour to over 400 kilometers an hour and from west to east between 50 degrees and 60 degrees latitude — think from France to Norway. The differences in cold polar air and warm mid-latitude air form the polar jet stream, and its movement prolongs periods of cold or warm weather in different regions. Large temperature differences between the Arctic and mid-latitudes cause the polar jet stream to be strong and move straight, keeping the cold in the north. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and mid-latitudes is decreasing, making the polar jet stream slower and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream more likely to bend north and south.

Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Where the Wild Things Are in the Suburbs I grew up spending summers at my grandparents’ farm, on the eastern shore of Maryland. I used to pick wild blackberries, catch a dinner of blue crabs, and run between the rows of the tall corn plants. I knew what wild garlic looked like; when the figs (无花果) on the fig trees were ready to eat, I ate them. 67 “They’re so sweet, Mom,” they tell me. But instead of teaching my kids about that landscape, I decided to instill in them a love of the land where they live. Suburbia is not as obviously lovable as tidewater country, but I was determined to practice PBL — place-based learning. That’s a thing in education. I looked it up. So we went to the abandoned parking lot near the dead mall and looked for dandelion (蒲公英) greens, which make a delicious bitter spring salad. We dug with sticks on the road being paved for Wegmans grocery store. My ten-year-old found some colourful rocks. They inspired him to start a rock collection. “This is cool, Mom,” he said. 68 They inherited both from early man. So I’ve been teaching them to search, the way my mother taught me and her mother taught her, all the way back to my ancestral people, the old-country mushroom hunters of Alsace. In the fall, I took my kids to stands of chestnut (栗子) trees and showed them how to get out the edible nuts. We came home with full bags, and I made sweet chestnut puree (糊), which we ate with a big spoon, like a homemade chocolate jam. 69 The beauty of it. That it, rather than supermarkets, sustains them. That they should have appreciation for all the parts of the living soil. 70    We simply walk, observe, feel the dirt under our feet, and occasionally bring home something we harvested with our own hands. The kids smiled with pride of place. A．I felt that I had taught them some big lesson about the earth. B．I grew up spending summers at my grandparents’ farm. C．I read in my wild-edible field guide that they taste like mango. D．I’ve taught my kids to do the same. E．It has been revolutionary to be outside, in the suburbs. F．It wasn’t a stretch to capitalize on my children’s instincts to explore their world and to eat from it. IV.Summary Writing (共10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to Be a Successful Team Leader? Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills. A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well. What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team. To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader. It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72．如果你身陷火灾，用湿毛巾捂住口鼻来确保呼吸顺畅。 (ensure) (汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 73．你看上去有点心力交瘁，你是否想在放学后和我聊一聊近期的烦心事呢?

I’ve got three tips to share with you, hoping to make a direction for the future life after your graduation from college. Tip one: There are few things that get you over your own crop more than working hard. Do you want to know how to work hard? It’s not difficult. All you have to do is to listen. Listen to what’s going on around you. Learn how the project you are working on fits into the big picture. Learn how you fit in. When you truly understand how the big picture works, you start being able to expect changes and change your behavior. Tip two: Be kind to everyone. I can’t stress this enough, but it remains true. Kindness will pay back invaluable rewards. Don’t you believe me? I’m sure that at some point you’ll have the opportunity to work for someone who used to be your assistant, or hire someone who used to be your boss. Tip three: Stay interested. Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about? Keep doing it. Interest is the better part of success. You will be great at the things that you are willing to do. Remember that you have time to figure out what you want to do. You have time to try again. Just have courage to do it so long as you’re willing to work hard.Questions: Whom is the speech aimed at? Why does the speaker give the speech? Which of the following is NOT a tip the speaker share? 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 14．A．The benefits of walking . B．The importance of keeping fit. C．The way of forming a habit. D．The possibility of excising regularly. 15．A．Because it needs much thinking . B．Because people can improve their memory. C．Because it is suitable for everyone. D．Because people needn’t concentrate on it. 16．A．It is the easiest way to lose weight. B．It can be made part of people’s life. C．It can make people’s hearts stronger. D．It prevents people suffering from cancers. 【答案】14．A 15．D 16．D 【原文】Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot ... you can travel fast or slow. The movement of your feet gets you where you need to go. But it also gets you so much more! Walking is a basic, simple exercise that’s suitable for almost everyone. Walking helps you in many ways. First it makes your heart stronger. Studies show regular walking reduces your chance of heart disease. Walking quickly for 30 minutes a day also helps control high blood pressure. It can reduce your chance of developing some cancers, too. Want to lose weight? You need to burn 600 more calories each day than you eat. Walking is the easiest way. As people age, their brains don’t work as well. One in 14 people over 65 suffers from memory loss. Older people who walk six miles or more per week keep their brains in better shape. Walking helps your mental health, too. Putting one foot in front of the other isn’t difficult. You don’t have to think about it, so you can concentrate on other things. You can make walking part of your day. Instead of parking near your house, park a distance away and walk, Instead of taking the elevator, walk. Make walking a habit, and see how it makes you feel. Questions: What’s the topic of the passage? Why is walking good for people’s mental health? Which of the following is NOT mentioned about walking in the passage? 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 17．A．He has just been back from South America.

I’ve been surfing the net for the last few hours. W: Were you doing schoolwork, or was it just for pleasure? M: Well, I wanted to get some information on South America for a project I have, but I found a really interesting chat site with people from there and started chatting. W: Well, did you get the information you needed? M: Yes, but then we spent lots of time chatting about other interests. W: I see. The Internet is a wonderful place. There is so much information available. Sometimes I find myself looking for one piece of information, but by the time I have finished, I have a lot more than I started off looking for. M: I know. One thing I really don’t like about it, though, it takes so much longer to find things, because many sites are useless. W: Yes, there is that, and also, I often find the same site over and over again in a search. That definitely wastes lots of my time. M: And of course, there are sites that offer little to no relative information on the topic you are searching for. In my search today, I found quite a few sites that were nothing more than old event calendars. W: Well, I’m sure they were useful to someone at some time, but they should be removed when they’re no longer of use to anyone. M: I agree. With all the time I spend on it, I still find it to be the best source of information available. And speaking of information, I really should read through what I got on the Internet and start working on my subjects. W: Okay. Good luck. It’s funny we had this chat, as I was just on my way home to surf the net myself. M: Well, it was nice talking to you, and maybe I’ll meet you in a chat room later tonight. Questions: Why does the man look tired? Why did the man surf the Internet? What’s the woman’s opinion about surfing the Internet? What does the man NOT like about the Internet? II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Shop Smart During Store Closing Sales When a major store like Toys R Us goes out of business, it’s easy to assume that everything on the shelves is being sold at a huge discount. “Store Closing” signs make shoppers feel pressured to act fast, encouraging them 21 (rush) in and grab what they can. But in reality, liquidation sales often require careful attention if you want to find real value. Liquidation sales, which are special sales held when a store is going out of business, 22 (design) to sell off all items quickly — but that doesn’t necessarily mean the prices are the lowest. Many liquidation events begin 23 not-so-big discounts, usually around 20%, and the reductions deepen as time goes on. By then, however, the most desirable items may already be gone. That’s 24 experts recommend comparing prices at other stores or online before making a purchase. Shoppers should also be careful when using gift cards. Once a store files for bankruptcy (破产), it may stop 25 (honor) gift cards without warning. This happened when Borders shut down in 2011 — many customers were left holding worthless cards. 26 (use) in a timely manner, a gift card from a closing store can still hold its full value. Another important point: check every item thoroughly. In most cases, liquidation purchases are final sale, meaning you can’t return anything 27 it’s damaged. Electronics, in particular, 28 be tested or inspected before buying. Be mindful of marketing tricks too. Phrases like “Everything Must Go!” or “Best Prices Ever!” often 29 (create) pressure. Instead of buying on impulse (冲动), take a moment to ask yourself whether the item is really worth it. In short, store closures can offer great deals — but only to shoppers 30 do their homework, stay alert, and shop smart. 【答案】 21．to rush 22．are designed 23．with 24．why 25．honoring 26．Used 27．even if 28．should 29．create 30．who 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了商店清仓甩卖时的购物技巧。 21．考查非谓语动词。句意：“商店清仓”的招牌让购物者感到有压力要迅速行动，鼓励他们冲进去抢购所能抢到的东西。encourage sb. to do sth.是固定用法，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，此处用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to rush。 22．考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：清仓甩卖是商店停业时举行的特殊销售活动，旨在迅速售罄所有商品，但这并不一定意味着价格是最低的。design (设计)是谓语动词，与主语Liquidation sales之间是被动关系，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是复数，谓语动词用复数形式；综上，谓语动词用一般现在时被动语态，复数形式；be designed to do“被设计用于……；目的是……”。故填are designed。 23．考查介词。句意：许多清仓活动开始时折扣并不大，通常在20%左右，随着时间的推移折扣会加深。begin with是固定短语，意为“以……开始”，符合语境。故填with。 24．考查表语从句。句意：这就是为什么专家建议在购买之前比较其他商店或网上的价格。“That’s _____ experts recommend...”是表语从句，结合句意，表示“这就是为什么……”，用连接副词why引导该从句，并在从句中作原因状语。故填why。 25．考查非谓语动词。句意：一旦商店申请破产，它可能会在没有警告的情况下停止兑现礼品卡。stop doing sth.是固定用法，意为“停止做某事”，此处表示停止兑现礼品卡。故填honoring。 26．考查非谓语动词。句意：如果能及时使用，一家即将关闭的商店的礼品卡仍然可以保持其全部价值。“(use) in a timely manner”作条件状语，use (使用)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语a gift card之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动；句首单词首字母大写。故填Used。 27．考查连词。句意：在大多数情况下，清仓购买是最终销售，这意味着即使商品有损坏，你不能退货。根据“you can’t return anything”和“it’s damaged”可知，前后是让步关系，用连词even if (即使)引导让步状语从句，意为“即使商品有损坏”，与前文中“final sale”语意一致。故填even if。 28．考查情态动词。句意：特别是电子产品，在购买前应该进行测试或检查。根据语境可知，此处表示建议，用情态动词should (应该)，符合语境。故填should。 29．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：像“全部清仓！”或“史上最低价！”这样的短语常常会造成压力。create (造成)是谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是复数名词Phrases，谓语动词用复数形式。故填create。 30．考查定语从句。句意：简而言之，商店清仓可以提供很好的交易，但只针对那些做好功课、保持警惕并明智购物的购物者。“_____ do their homework, stay alert, and shop smart”为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词shoppers，指人，关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词who引导该从句。故填who。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us? Does “evolution” really 31 our deepening involvement with technology today, or should we instead speak of human-technology coevolution? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something 32 a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really 33 . Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more 34 . For the parent it might be a homeschool video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine optimization (最优化). And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our competence to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future innovations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are 35 changing for just about everyone.   Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in 36 the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the toddler and the teacher to understand, embrace and digest technology will be a decisive aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly 37 by technology and our active participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to 38 technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this dynamic is not without complexity and concerns, it 39 virtually inevitable. As TQ grows, this engagement can interact with our traditional IQ and BQ capabilities, allowing for a more dynamic and fulfilling human experience. 40 TQ with IQ and EQ will play a practical and functional role in society, business, and education, quantifying the ability of adopting and integrating technology. 【答案】 31．K 32．C 33．E 34．H 35．A 36．J 37．I 38．B 39．D 40．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是新时代需要新词汇，技术商数（TQ）的概念应运而生，它试图量化我们合理使用当前技术以及快速适应、接受和利用未来创新的能力，将TQ与IQ和EQ相结合将在社会、商业和教育中发挥重要作用。 31．考查动词。句意：“进化”真的能捕捉到我们如今与技术日益加深的联系吗，还是我们应该说人类与技术的共同进化？分析句子结构可知，空处缺少谓语动词，结合语境可知，此处表示“捕捉，描述”，应用动词capture，空前有助动词does，所以空处用动词原形。故选K项。 32．考查过去分词。句意：他们有一种被称为TQ，即技术商数的东西。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词have，空处应用非谓语动词，结合语境可知，此处表示“被叫做”，应用called，过去分词作后置定语修饰something。故选C项。 33．考查形容词。句意：把它想象成一种理解最新科技的超能力，而我们的曾祖父母会觉得这些科技非常奇怪。分析句子结构可知，空处作宾语补足语，应用形容词，结合语境可知，此处表示“奇怪的”，应用weird。故选E项。 34．考查形容词。句意：这样的例子很常见，而且越来越频繁。分析句子结构可知，空处作表语，应用形容词，结合语境可知，此处表示“频繁的”，应用frequent。故选H项。 35．考查副词。句意：只要进入ChatGPT的世界一次，我们就能看到人工智能和搜索的动态是如何从根本上改变几乎所有人的。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰动词changing，应用副词，结合语境可知，此处表示“从根本上”，应用fundamentally。故选A项。 36．考查动词。句意：任何一位父母都能理解智商和情商在预测孩子成功潜力方面的价值。分析句子结构可知，空处位于介词in后，应用动名词形式，结合语境可知，此处表示“预测”，应用projecting。故选J项。 37．考查动词。句意：我们越来越受到技术的影响，我们积极参与从智能手机到脸书的一切活动。分析句子结构可知，空处与are构成句子的谓语，结合语境可知，此处表示“被决定，受影响”，应用determined，be determined by表示“由……决定，受……影响”。故选I项。 38．考查动词。句意：也许是时候让食物、水和住所这些人类的基本需求也包含技术了。分析句子结构可知，此处为it be time for sb./sth. to do sth.结构，空处应用动词原形，结合语境可知，此处表示“包含，纳入”，应用incorporate。故选B项。 39．考查动词。句意：尽管这种动态并非没有复杂性和令人担忧之处，但它实际上仍然是不可避免的。分析句子结构可知，空处缺少谓语动词，结合语境可知，此处表示“仍然是”，应用remains，句子为一般现在时，主语为it，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故选D项。 40．考查动词。句意：将TQ与IQ和EQ相结合将在社会、商业和教育中发挥实际和功能性的作用，量化采用和整合技术的能力。分析句子结构可知，空处作主语，应用动名词形式，结合语境可知，此处表示“使结合”，应用integrating，句首单词首字母大写。故选G项。 III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.

Were you aware of the fact that your sitting position can 41 impact your body, especially if you sit with your legs crossed at the knee? 42 , humans lead a largely sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyle.

People sit with their legs crossed at the knee for both psychological and physiological reasons. It’s a 44 behavior that changes into a habit, although the act of crossing one’s legs can be seen as a power move in certain settings, such as business or politics. Depending on the 45 , sitting cross-legged can mean a person is either relaxed or defensive. Body language experts note that if you see someone sitting this way in a meeting, it may indicate they have emotionally stopped 46 the conversation. They tend to 47 fewer details of what was discussed. You may also find it more 48 to persuade them to accept your point of view. Dr. Steven Weiniger, a posture expert, explains that many people sit cross-legged to ease the pressure on their lower backs. What they don’t realize, however, is that 49 to ease the pressure on one part of the body can add pressure to other parts. A 2014 study found that sitting with crossed legs for three or more hours per day can cause pelvic tilt (骨盆倾斜). This means that one hip (臀部) will be higher than the other. This position 50 your gluteus medius, one of the muscles that is located on the side of your hip. When that muscle loses power, it can allow your pelvis to shift out of 51 . The 2014 study also noted that the lower back bend caused by crossing your legs for three or more hours at a time can 52 the position of your head, causing you to push it farther forward. This position can lead to neck pain and general muscle 53 . Crossing your legs can also cause spinal (脊椎的) problems. If you hold this position 54 , it can actually lead to scoliosis in which case your spine curves (弯曲) sideways. This can lead to pain, as well as muscle and joint issues. Dr. Naresh Rao of N.Y.U.’s Langone Medical Center suggests not sitting cross-legged “for longer than you need to drink a cup of coffee.” In fact, not only should sitting cross-legged be 55 , but prolonged sitting in general should be as well. 41．A．actively B．negatively C．positively D．rarely 42．A．As a result B．By the way C．In a sense D．On the whole 43．A．decrease B．diagnose C．expose D．increase 44．A．foreign B．learned C．native D．recommended 45．A．context B．glance C．occupation D．race 46．A．giving way to B．having pity on C．making use of D．taking part in 47．A．file B．lose C．neglect D．remember 48．A．difficult B．effortless C．necessary D．worthy 49．A．attempts B．contests C．doubts D．requests 50．A．deepens B．lengthens C．strengthens D．weakens 51．A．control B．order C．place D．trouble 52．A．affect B．fasten C．improve D．remain 53．A．differences B．existences C．imbalances D．resistances 54．A．accidentally B．basically C．habitually D．originally 55．A．done harm to B．kept track of C．paid attention to D．taken charge of 【答案】 41．B 42．D 43．D 44．B 45．A 46．D 47．D 48．A 49．A 50．D 51．C 52．A 53．C 54．C 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了跷二郎腿这一坐姿对身体的负面影响及相关建议。 41．考查副词词义辨析。句意：你是否在阅读本文时正跷着二郎腿？你是否意识到你的坐姿会对你的身体产生负面影响，尤其是当你膝盖交叉坐着的时候？A. actively积极地；B. negatively消极地；C. positively积极地；D. rarely很少地。根据后文“impact your body, especially if you sit with your legs crossed at the knee”以及“A 2014 study found that sitting with crossed legs for three or more hours per day can cause pelvic tilt (骨盆倾斜)”讲跷二郎腿的负面影响可知，此处指坐姿会对身体产生负面影响。故选B。 42．考查介词短语辨析。句意：总的来说，人类大多处于久坐不动的生活状态。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A My husband became very ill, leaving me to do everything in our home. By night time, I felt as if I was moving in slow motion. One such evening, I noticed that my Bluebird diamond wedding ring — which I had worn for more than half a century — was missing. I was devastated. I looked everywhere. No luck. My family told me to retrace my steps. That would be a task, for that day I had closed a bank account, taken my car in to get it fixed, and gone for an eye exam. I sat, feeling numb. My mind wandered back in time to when I had caught my first glimpse of the man I married. I was five and often tagged along with my dad. That particular day, we came upon a large herd of Black Angus cattle being driven near the roadside. I was looking at the youngest rider. He seemed to be about nine years old. I waved to him, but he just tended to the cattle. Perhaps he was shy. Next my memory travelled to my senior year in high school. It was on such a day that a black hardtop car went by real slow. A passenger yelled, “Girls, do you want to ride around with us?” Among the people in the car was the young cowboy who hadn’t responded to my wave 13 years before! But he wasn’t ignoring me now. So, our love affair began. He offered the ring a few months later. The daydream passed. My daughter Jan called. “Mum, you should shop for a new ring. Where do you want to go?” she asked. “A pawn shop (当铺),” I said. At the shop, we found five jewelry cases to look through. One was too big, another too small, and the third too expensive. So we continued to the next case. As I slipped it on my finger, I shouted, “Here’s my lost ring! See how it just fits.” Everyone in the store turned to the young man helping us. He got a magnifying glass out and said, “It is a Bluebird.” The police got involved. Weeks later, I got a call from an officer who told me that a girl had found it in the mall parking lot. I’m still in awe that I found my ring. How did I know to go to that pawn shop? Was it intuition? The work of angels? Just curiosity? I’m not sure I’ll ever know. But I did learn that sometimes things are gone for a while before they reappear to be claimed. Just like my man. And just like my ring. 56．What was everyday life like for the writer when the story happened? A．Hopeless. B．Exhausting. C．Romantic. D．Luxurious. 57．Why did the writer describe her encounters with her husband? A．To explain how and why she married him. B．To suggest love affairs in school aren’t necessarily bad. C．To show a similarity between him and the ring. D．To contrast early romance with her current misery. 58．Which of the following did the writer think helped her ultimately? A．A young man and a girl. B．Her own instinct to go to a pawn shop. C．Something she was not definite about. D．Some unknown angels sent by God. 59．What serves as the best title of the story? A．Lost and Found B．Miracles Do Happen C．Happily Ever After D．Once Lost, Twice Shy 【答案】56．B 57．C 58．C 59．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在丈夫生病时丢失了结婚戒指，在回忆与丈夫的过往经历后，最终在当铺找回戒指的故事。 56．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My husband became very ill, leaving me to do everything in our home.

Just like my man. And just like my ring.(但我确实知道，有时候东西会消失一段时间，然后才会重新出现等待认领。就像我丈夫一样。就像我的戒指。)”可知，作者回忆与丈夫的相遇相恋，是为了体现丈夫与戒指有着相似的羁绊与失而复得的关联。故选C。 58．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“How did I know to go to that pawn shop? Was it intuition? The work of angels? Just curiosity? I’m not sure I’ll ever know.(我怎么知道要去那家当铺的？是直觉吗？是天使吗？只是好奇吗？我不确定我是否会知道。)”可知，作者认为是某种不确定的东西最终帮助了她。故选C。 59．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“But I did learn that sometimes things are gone for a while before they reappear to be claimed. Just like my man. And just like my ring.(但我确实知道，有时候东西会消失一段时间，然后才会重新出现等待认领。就像我丈夫一样。就像我的戒指。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者丢失戒指又找回戒指的故事，因此A项“Lost and Found(失而复得)”最适合作文章标题。故选A。 B MC Markham College Center for Continuing Education Bollywood Workout10 weeks Fridays, 19.00-21.00-$8220 Lessons focus on the classic moves of the entertaining and beautiful dance forms seen in Bollywood films, all accompanied by lively traditional music.

This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing global warming or not, but scientists have shown that Earth’s warming trends are responsible. When people in the Northern Hemisphere hear North Pole or Arctic region, they automatically think of the hemisphere’s northernmost area, the home of extremely cold weather during late fall and winter. During this time, very little, if any, sunlight reaches the Arctic’s stratosphere, one layer of Earth’s atmosphere that exists six to 20 kilometers above Earth’s surface. To balance the temperature difference with that of the warm equatorial region, an area of low pressure called the polar vortex forms and flows in a complete circle around the pole. This occurs inside the stratosphere about 10 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. While this belt of strong winds is usually stable and able to keep the cold air contained, it can be destroyed by loss of sea ice, due to global warming. This results in surface temperatures changing, changes which make them less stable. If this happens, the polar vortex may shift, slipping off the North Pole and moving south, or it can separate into two or three rings that form in multiple places far south of the pole. This stretching or distortion of the polar vortex also makes influences on the path of the polar jet stream, which is responsible for Earth’s weather. This jet stream, along with three other primary jet streams in different parts of the world, is located in the troposphere, the atmospheric layer just below the stratosphere. The polar jet stream’s air currents blow from 177 kilometers an hour to over 400 kilometers an hour and from west to east between 50 degrees and 60 degrees latitude — think from France to Norway. The differences in cold polar air and warm mid-latitude air form the polar jet stream, and its movement prolongs periods of cold or warm weather in different regions. Large temperature differences between the Arctic and mid-latitudes cause the polar jet stream to be strong and move straight, keeping the cold in the north. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and mid-latitudes is decreasing, making the polar jet stream slower and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream more likely to bend north and south. When it bends far enough, the barrier between Arctic and mid-latitude air can dive down to Mexico, taking Arctic temperatures along for the ride. Although heat and cold are considered opposites, in the case of climate, the former can cause the latter. 63．The word “prolong” (para 5) is closest in meaning to ________. A．extend B．regulate C．control D．shorten 64．What is suggested in the passage? A．Heat and cold are opposite but they can change each other. B．The air layers above the earth are responsible for climate change. C．The extreme cold in some areas originated from other areas’ heat. D．The Warming Earth is actually caused by the Colder Winters. 65．What can be inferred from the passage? A．The streams in the Northern Hemisphere have to move to the South. B．It is certain that the Earth will become warmer and warmer. C．The temperature difference between day and night will decrease. D．The colder areas might gradually become larger and larger in the future. 66．What is the main focus of the passage? A．The Relationship between Warming Earth and Colder Winters B．The Strange Phenomenon of Warming Earth with Colder Winters C．The Temperature Differences between the Arctic and Mid-latitude Areas D．The Potential Reasons for Earth Becoming Warmer and Warmer 【答案】63．A 64．C 65．D 66．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球变暖致使北极海冰消融、极涡变形，进而影响极地急流，引发北半球部分地区冬季异常寒冷，揭示了气候变暖与局部寒冬的关联。 63．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The differences in cold polar air and warm mid-latitude air form the polar jet stream, and its movement(冷的极地空气和暖的中纬度空气之间的差异形成了极地急流，其移动……)”以及后文“periods of cold or warm weather in different regions(不同地区寒冷或温暖的天气持续时间)”可知，极地急流的移动会延长不同地区寒冷或温暖天气的持续时间。故划线词意思是“延长”。故选A。 64．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although heat and cold are considered opposites, in the case of climate, the former can cause the latter.(尽管热与冷被视为相反的两种状态，但在气候方面，前者却能够导致后者出现)”可知，某些地区的极度寒冷是由其他地区过热所导致的。故选C。 65．推理判断题。根据第六段“Large temperature differences between the Arctic and mid-latitudes cause the polar jet stream to be strong and move straight, keeping the cold in the north. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and mid-latitudes is decreasing, making the polar jet stream slower and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream more likely to bend north and south. When it bends far enough, the barrier between Arctic and mid-latitude air can dive down to Mexico, taking Arctic temperatures along for the ride.(北极与中纬度地区的巨大温差，会让极地急流强劲且呈直线运动，从而将冷空气封锁在北方。由于北极变暖速度加快，它与中纬度地区的温差正在缩小，这使得极地急流变得更缓、更弱。而这一变化反过来又会让急流更容易向南北方向弯曲。当急流弯曲幅度足够大时，分隔北极气团与中纬度气团的屏障就会向南延伸至墨西哥一带，同时裹挟着北极的冷空气一路南下)”可知，随着北极变暖趋势持续，急流弯曲的频率和幅度可能增加，南下的冷空气会影响更多区域，因此未来寒冷区域的范围可能逐渐扩大。故选D。 66．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the past few years, areas in East Asia, North America and northern Europe have been colder than normal during some periods of winter. This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing global warming or not, but scientists have shown that Earth’s warming trends are responsible.(在过去几年里，东亚、北美洲和北欧的一些地区在冬季的某些时段气温比往年要低。这使得许多人争论地球是否正在经历全球变暖，但科学家们已经表明，地球的变暖趋势才是原因所在)”可知，文章主要说明了全球变暖背景下部分地区冬季更冷的矛盾现象，解释了极地涡旋、急流等机制，核心是说明全球变暖与寒冷冬季之间的关系。故选A。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Where the Wild Things Are in the Suburbs I grew up spending summers at my grandparents’ farm, on the eastern shore of Maryland. I used to pick wild blackberries, catch a dinner of blue crabs, and run between the rows of the tall corn plants. I knew what wild garlic looked like; when the figs (无花果) on the fig trees were ready to eat, I ate them. 67 “They’re so sweet, Mom,” they tell me. But instead of teaching my kids about that landscape, I decided to instill in them a love of the land where they live. Suburbia is not as obviously lovable as tidewater country, but I was determined to practice PBL — place-based learning. That’s a thing in education. I looked it up. So we went to the abandoned parking lot near the dead mall and looked for dandelion (蒲公英) greens, which make a delicious bitter spring salad. We dug with sticks on the road being paved for Wegmans grocery store. My ten-year-old found some colourful rocks. They inspired him to start a rock collection. “This is cool, Mom,” he said. 68 They inherited both from early man. So I’ve been teaching them to search, the way my mother taught me and her mother taught her, all the way back to my ancestral people, the old-country mushroom hunters of Alsace. In the fall, I took my kids to stands of chestnut (栗子) trees and showed them how to get out the edible nuts. We came home with full bags, and I made sweet chestnut puree (糊), which we ate with a big spoon, like a homemade chocolate jam. 69 The beauty of it. That it, rather than supermarkets, sustains them. That they should have appreciation for all the parts of the living soil. 70    We simply walk, observe, feel the dirt under our feet, and occasionally bring home something we harvested with our own hands. The kids smiled with pride of place. A．I felt that I had taught them some big lesson about the earth. B．I grew up spending summers at my grandparents’ farm. C．I read in my wild-edible field guide that they taste like mango. D．I’ve taught my kids to do the same. E．It has been revolutionary to be outside, in the suburbs. F．It wasn’t a stretch to capitalize on my children’s instincts to explore their world and to eat from it. 【答案】67．D 68．F 69．A 70．E 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者教孩子在郊区探索自然、学习野外可食用食物的经历。 67．上文“I grew up spending summers at my grandparents’ farm, on the eastern shore of Maryland.

Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to Be a Successful Team Leader? Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills. A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well. What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team. To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader. It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It is essential to develop leadership skills when you’re young.
