Firstly, I have a good command of spoken English, making it easy for me to deliver the lines fluently. Additionally, I have read the novel twice, which means I have a deeper understanding than others. What’s more, I have years of stage performance experience and I am a cooperative team player. I would appreciate it if you could take my application into account and offer me the opportunity. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 听力原文 Text 1 W: That hotel was terrible. We could hear TVs and telephones through the walls all day long. It really wasn’t worth $200. (1) M: I know! But at least the travel agent gave us a 50% discount in the end! (1) Text 2 M: I can’t believe I need a heavy coat today. I was perfectly fine in just a T-shirt yesterday. The sun was shining and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. (2) W: Yeah. And this rain just makes it feel even worse. I really hope it clears up by the weekend. Text 3 W: Excuse me, can I bring my coffee into the reading room? (3) M: I’m sorry, but drinks aren’t allowed in that area. W: OK. By the way, where’s the self-service machine? I’d like to check these books out. (3) M: It’s just around the corner. Text 4 W: We have to babysit our little brother tonight. (4) M: How come? W: Mom and Dad are going to a concert. But hey, maybe we can invite some friends over. M: Sure, as long as we keep an eye on the baby. Text 5 M: Sarah, any plans for the weekend? W: Yes! On Saturday, I’m going hiking in a nearby mountain with some friends. M: Oh, cool. How are you getting there? W: Some people prefer to go by car, but we’ll take a bus to the foot of the mountain, and then we can hike to the top. (5) Text 6 W: Could you tell me why you’re interested in this marketing position? (6) M: Certainly! I have a strong interest in developing creative strategies and helping businesses grow. W: That’s great to hear. Could you tell me about your previous work experience? (6) M: Of course. I spent two years in a sales role. It was a valuable experience because connecting with people gave me energy, and that made working long hours feel worthwhile. W: I see. What was your main reason for leaving that role? M: I really enjoyed my time in that position, but I felt it was the right time for me to develop new skills, and I’m very eager to build a career in marketing. (7) Text 7 W: So, Todd, are you free this weekend? I’m moving and need to pack everything up. (8) M: I can help you on Sunday. On Saturday, I have to fix my car. W: Great, thank you! On Sunday morning, I need to do a few things first. I have some paperwork at the city hall, and then I need to buy some packing supplies at the supermarket. M: Actually, I need to go to the supermarket too! Why don’t we just meet there? (9) And then we can go to your apartment together. W: That’s perfect! (9) Shall we meet at 10:30 am? M: Great, that works for me. See you then! Text 8 W: This is Jane Smith from apartment 2003. Can I speak to the apartment manager? M: Speaking. W: The window in my living room is broken. M: Oh no! Was anyone hurt? (10) W: Luckily, no. It happened overnight. I found broken glass everywhere when I woke up. M: I’m glad everyone’s okay. (10) It might have been the strong wind last night that caused it. Unfortunately, our repairman, Bill, is off today, so it might take a while to fix. W: A friend of mine is a window repairman. Would it be alright if I called him? (11) M: That’s fine by me. Please go ahead. (11) W: Should I also let the other residents know about this? M: That’s a good point. I’ll send out a notice. But first, let me come and see the damage. I’ll be there in about 15 minutes. (12) Text 9 M: Ah, finally found my seat! Hi! I’m John. W: Oh, hi! I’m Emily. Nice to meet you, John! M: So, where are you headed? W: I’m going to New York for a conference. (13) My sister lives in Boston, so I might visit her afterward if I have time. What about you? M: I’m headed to Denver for a business trip. (14) It’s a quick one, just a couple of days, so the schedule is packed. And the time difference might make it even tougher. W: I know the feeling. I’m a bit nervous too—I’ve never given a presentation at such a big conference before. (15) M: Oh, I remember my first big talk. I was so nervous that I dropped all my note cards! My advice is to get to the presentation hall early. Just being there for a few minutes before anyone else arrives can really help you feel calm. (16) W: That’s really good to know. Thanks, John!

He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died. I took him shopping with me.”作者通过举例论证了儿子比自己更懂技术，由此可推测出，本段主要论证了作者的儿子对技术更加精通。故选A。 26.根据破折号后的“he’s leading me”并结合作者与儿子的母子关系可知，作为母亲，作者应该是儿子的导师，给儿子指导，而现在儿子在引导作者，由此可推测出，这里表达的是俩人的关系颠倒了，reversed意为“颠倒，相反”，与opposite意思最接近。故选B。 27.根据第五段中的“My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.”可推知，作者的儿子变得成熟了，而且对待工作非常认真，这让作者感到很荣幸。故选C。 C： 28.由第二段中的“The Electrochemical Eye (EC-Eye) developed at HKUST, however, may actually offer sharper vision than a human eye, with extra functions such as the ability to see things in darkness. ”可知，3D人造眼实际上可能提供比人眼更敏锐的视觉，说明EC眼睛的特点是它提供了比人眼更清晰的视野。故选A项。 29.由第三段中的“The scientists connected the nanowire light sensors to some liquid-metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made retina during the experiment, and successfully carried out the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen. ”可知，纳米线光传感器的功能是接收视觉信号。故选B项。 30.由最后一段中的““The current artificial eyes are still of no match to the human eyes. A new technology is in urgent need, and it gives me a strong motivation to start this unconventional project. In the next step, we plan to further improve the performance of our device. Animal and clinical trials are now being planned. I think if everything is on track, perhaps in five years, the technology will become practical,” said Prof Fan, whose team has spent nine years to complete the current study. ”可知，Dr. Fan要提高设备性能，可得出改善过的EC-Eye与以前的设备不同，会更加实用，故选D项。 31.根据第一段“An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently developed the world’s first 3D artificial eye with capabilities that even outperform those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual damage.”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C项。 D: 32.根据第一段“The U. S. is in the midst of a “loneliness epidemic”. For a lot of people, the feeling is even more noticeable during the holidays. In addition to the emotional impact of chronic loneliness, it has some dramatic health consequences: increased risk of heart disease and stroke, infections, cancer, even death. ”可知，除了长期孤独的情绪影响外，“孤独流行病”还会带来一些严重的健康后果：增加患心脏病和中风、感染、癌症甚至死亡的风险；因此，“孤独流行病”对身体和心理方面都有害。故选 A。 33.根据第三段中的“Elisa Baek, a social neuroscientist at the University of Southern California, co-authored a study that looked at whether lonely people view the world differently than non-lonely people, specifically among college freshmen.”可知，Baek的研究探究了孤独群体是否与非孤独群体看待世界的方式有所不同；结合第三段中的“Baek found that while non-lonely people were all similar in their neural responses, lonely people had responses that were really different — not just from the non-lonely group, but also from each other.”可知，Baek所做的研究揭示了孤独的人是如何看待世界的，不仅聚焦了孤独群体与非孤独群体的差异，也探究了孤独群体内部的差异。故选C。 34.根据第四段中的“The videos ranged from dramatic and comedic clips to instructional demonstrations in order to reproduce experiences participants might have in daily life.”可知，这些视频的内容包括戏剧片段、喜剧片段以及教学示范，是为了重现参与者在日常生活中可能拥有的经历，即这些视频是为了模拟日常生活情景。故选B。 35.根据最后一段中的““Trying to connect more deeply with one or two or three other people may be more important than to try to get to know everybody and being on good terms with everybody. It doesn’t have to be someone who is like-minded. It’s more like: How can we get on the same page with people who we might not start off on the same page with, but that might form deeper connections afterwards?” she adds.”可知，Mwilambwe-Tshilobo认为对于孤独的人来说尝试与他人建立更深入的联系更加重要，可以尝试和那些一开始可能不合拍的人形成更深层次的联系，最终达成共识；由此可知，Mwilambwe-Tshilobo建议孤独的人耐心地加深与他人的联系。故选 D。 七选五： 36.根据上文There are several ways for helping your joints.可知第一段提出向读者介绍几种有效的应对关节不舒适的方法，因此接下来应该是强调这些方法的益处。因此选项F. And more than likely, there's one that you don't yet know about that can help you. “非常可能的是，有某一种你不知道但是对你有帮助的方法。”符合语境，故选F。 37.根据本段首句Drop the extra pounds.可知本段主要是关于建议减掉多余体重对关节的益处。由此可推断出选项 E.

B Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.” This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me. As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected. I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen. 24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice? A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach. C. It sounded surprising. D. It sounded reasonable. 25. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology. B. Describe their close parent-child relationship. C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes. D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help. 26. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5? A. Unrealistic. B. Opposite. C. Negative. D. Common. 27. What makes the writer feel honored? A. Her son’s patience with their relationship. B. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences. C. Her son’s growth and serious attitude to the work. D. Her son’s desire to change the parent-child dynamic. C An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently developed the world’s first 3-D artificial eye with capabilities that even outperform those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual damage. Scientists have spent decades trying to produce the exact copies of the structure and clarity of a biological eye, but vision provided by existing artificial eyes with external wires are still in poor resolution (分辨率) with 2-D flat image sensors. The Electrochemical Eye (EC-Eye) developed at HKUST, however, may actually offer sharper vision than a human eye, with extra functions such as the ability to see things in darkness. The key feature allowing such breakthroughs is a 3-D artificial retina (视网膜), made of nanowire light sensors which are like the photoreceptor in human retinas. The scientists connected the nanowire light sensors to some liquid-metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made retina during the experiment, and successfully carried out the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen. In the future, those nanowire light sensors could be directly connected to the nerves of the visually damaged patients. Apart from that, the artificial retina can receive more light signals and potentially attain a higher image resolution than human retina. With further adjustment, the EC-Eye can be a self-powered image sensor, so there is no need for external power source, which will be much more user-friendly as compared with the current technology. “The current artificial eyes are still of no match to the human eyes. A new technology is in urgent need, and it gives me a strong motivation to start this unconventional project. In the next step, we plan to further improve the performance of our device. Animal and clinical trials are now being planned. I think if everything is on track, perhaps in five years, the technology will become practical,” said Prof Fan, whose team has spent nine years to complete the current study. 28. What’s the feature of the EC-Eye? A. It provides a clearer vision than human eyes. B. It performs better at night than in the day. C. It is attached with external wires. D. It uses 2-D flat image sensors. 29. What’s the function of nanowire light sensors? A. To send computer signals. B. To receive visual signals. C. To serve as nerves behind the retina. D. To connect nerves of patients to the wires. 30. What can we infer about the EC-Eye from Prof Fan’s words? A. It is of no match to human eyes. B. It has been improved by the team. C. It will be in clinical trials in five years. D. It is different from the previous devices. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. EC-Eye Will Become Popular in the Near Future B. Nanowire Light Sensors Help People See in Darkness C. Scientists Have Developed First Artificial Eye with 3-D Retina D. 3-D Technology Helps to Cure People of Their Eye Diseases D The U. S. is in the midst of a “loneliness epidemic (流行病)”. For a lot of people, the feeling is even more noticeable during the holidays. In addition to the emotional impact of chronic loneliness, it has some dramatic health consequences: increased risk of heart disease and stroke, infections, cancer, even death. People may feel lonely when their social needs are not met by the people around them. Laetitia Mwilambwe-Tshilobo, a social cognitive neuroscientist at Princeton University, says loneliness epidemic captures two distinct groups: first, people with a low number of social connections; second, people who feel they have poor quality existing relationships. Elisa Baek, a social neuroscientist at the University of Southern California, co-authored a study that looked at whether lonely people view the world differently than non-lonely people, specifically among college freshmen. Baek found that while non-lonely people were all similar in their neural (神经的) responses, lonely people had responses that were really different — not just from the non-lonely group, but also from each other. Baek says that these idiosyncrasies (特性) in how lonely participants process the world, “may pose challenges in how these people are able to achieve social connection and feel connected with others.” To study these changes to the brain, Baek’s team collected fMRI data — a measure of blood flow changes in the brain — while first-year college students watched short videos to measure how similarly participants’ brains responded to the videos. The videos ranged from dramatic and comedic clips to instructional demonstrations in order to reproduce experiences participants might have in daily life. She says it’s the closest they could get to study people’s brain activity — and how they process the world — while they were going about their lives. Mwilambwe-Tshilobo, who is not involved in the study, says the research accurately highlights how individual differences affect people in experiencing loneliness. “Trying to connect more deeply with one or two or three other people may be more important than to try to get to know everybody and being on good terms with everybody. It doesn’t have to be someone who is like-minded. It’s more like: How can we get on the same page with people who we might not start off on the same page with, but that might form deeper connections afterwards?” she adds. 32. Which description best characterizes the “loneliness epidemic”? A. Harmful mentally and physically. B. Exclusive to people with few friends. C. Striking throughout the year. D. Spreading between people. 33. What can be inferred from the study conducted by Elisa Baek? A. Its findings focus on the differences between lonely and non-lonely people. B.

There are several ways for helping your joints. 36 Drop the extra pounds. We all know that losing weight improves health in many ways, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it does the same for joint health. 37 Less pressure on your knees will help prevent joint damage from happening. When it comes to losing weight while you have joint discomfort, low impact exercise is the best. Strength training, stretching, and yoga for those hoping to strengthen and support their joints are recommended. Aerobic (有氧的) exercises also help decrease sensitivity to pain through exercise. 38 Having a balanced diet combined with keeping a healthy weight seems to have the best long-term result for preventing joint damage. Another way is to stop eating foods that can cause inflammation (炎症). Use thermal therapy and cold compresses (热疗法和冷敷). 39 If you experience a lot of stiffness (僵硬) in the mornings, a warm shower or heat pack will help loosen up the tissues and joints and provide relief. 40 Apply the ice or cold pack by wrapping it in a thin towel and applying it over the area for 10 minutes. This helps cool down the area, reduce the inflammation, and relieve pain. Although there’s no perfect solution to make joint discomfort disappear, adding these lifestyle changes into your daily schedule can be really good for your joints. A. Change eating habits. B. What you eat doesn’t make a difference. C. It’s better not to move when you’re having joint discomfort. D. However, if you’re feeling joint pain (not just stiffness), icing is the best way. E. For every one pound you lose, that’s four pounds of pressure off of your knees. F. And more than likely, there’s one that you don’t yet know about that can help you. G. Using heat and ice to treat joint discomfort is a time-tested and good choice for many. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分25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。 As I sat motionless in a wheelchair by the pool, watching everyone else swim back and forth, I realized that I had spent most of my life watching others enjoy themselves.

Some may equate it with fame, some with wealth and still some with accomplishments. For me, it means 56 (realize) one’s dreams. Whatever your dreams are, you have a goal there and then devote yourself 57 it. Dreams bring you hope and happiness. In the process of struggling for it, you cry, sweat, complain or even curse, but the joy of harvesting 58 (make) you forget all the pains and troubles you have gone through. So an old proverb says that the 59 (sweet) fruit is one that has undergone the bitterest experience. There are several keys to success. First of all, your goal must be 60 (practice). It is well known that if you set your goal 61 (extreme) high, you will not attain it. Next, you have to make 62 detailed plan of doing it. You can take some steps 63 (realize) it. Since the process is quite tough, you need to be diligent, patient and persevering. 64 (face) with some difficulties or frustrations, 65 you may meet with in the process, don’t lose heart. You should repeat over and over that there is nothing you can’t overcome. With this will and determination, success is sure to wait for you at the end of the tunnel! 第四部分：写作（满分15分） 46．假定你是李华，暑假在伦敦交流学习。得知你所在学校的英语俱乐部正在为筹备的英语话剧After Twenty Years招募演员。请你给话剧负责人Jack写一封申请信。内容包括： 1．写信目的； 2．个人优势； 3．表达期待。 注意：1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jack, I’m a Chinese exchange student studying in London. _____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $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ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
