It was Sunday yesterday. Bruce went to play football with his friends. Soon he felt hot and took off his coat. On his way home, he forgot to put it on again. This morning, he felt unwell and couldn’t go to school. His mother told him to stay in bed and then went to buy some medicine for him. An hour later, he wouldn’t lie there, so he stood by the window. The sun was shining and the birds were singing in the trees. Soon his mother came back and said, “It’s warmer outside. Go to sun yourself after you take the medicine.”
Bruce went out and sat on a step and played alone. At that time, a salesman (推销员) came up to him and asked, “Has your mother come back, my little friend?” “Yes, sir,” answered the boy. The man began to ring the doorbell, but nobody answered. He rang it for a long time and became angry. “I don’t think you are an honest (诚实的) boy,” said the salesman. “There’s no one in the house. You’ve played a joke on (捉弄) me!” “I don’t think so, sir,” said Bruce. “The house isn’t ours.”

There is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Although eating properly is important, being kind to others is also good for your health. Studies show that people who perform kind acts(行为)are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.
In one study at Arizona State University researchers found that many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act. This feeling, called “a help’s high” may actually help reduce stress(压力)as the body releases(释放)natural painkillers.
Stress can cause serious health problems such as heart disease, depression and sleeping problems. However, the study found that volunteers had fewer stress-related health problems when they did helpful things for other people.
The study also found that people who did nice things for others felt better about themselves as well. They had higher self-esteem(自尊), and were happier. Many believe this is because volunteers spend more of their time with other people. People who are more outgoing are often healthier.
Another study at the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center confirmed(证实)the health benefits of volunteering. A ten-year study showed that people who volunteered live longer than those who didn’t. Although you shouldn’t need a reason to be helpful, it is nice to know that kindness may help you live longer.
16. The reading is mainly about________.
A. healthy people are kind because they have more energy
B. one has to eat an apple every day to become healthy
C. kind people can be stressed because they are always helping
D. doing kind things can make you feel good and help you be healthier
17. According to the reading ________.
A. it is better to be kind than to eat well B. kindness can help you feel healthy
C. an apple a day can keep doctors away D. eating correctly makes one happy and healthy
18. The study found that people who help others can have________.
A. sleeping problems and stress B. fewer natural painkillers
C. overeating and depression problems D. fewer health problems
C
Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn’t let it stop him. The brave young man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs, despite (尽管) the fact that he has no limbs (四肢).
Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance (平衡) and enables him to kick (踢). He uses his one foot to type (打字), write with a pen and pick things up between his toes. “I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. “I’d be lost without it. When I get in the water, I float (漂浮) and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨).”
“He’s very shy, but he gets marriage offers from women all the time,” said Nick’s friend, Steve Appel, an expert from Los Angeles. “He would love to get married and start a family, but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit (呕吐). His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old. His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them. “My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy, but she still blamed (责备) herself,” he said. “It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. When I was 18 months old, my dad put me in the water and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.”
19. What can we learn from what Steve Appel said?
A. Nick Vujicic is serious about marriage. B. Nick Vujicic is too shy to talk with women.
C. Nick Vujicic is afraid of starting a family. D. Nick Vujicic is not willing to get married.
20. How did Nick’s parents feel when he was born?
A. Angry. B. Pleased. C. Disappointed. D. Excited.
21. The underlined word “distraught” probably means “________” in Chinese.
A. 冷漠无情的 B. 充满爱心的 C. 和蔼可亲的 D. 心烦意乱的

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作者初到北京只会两句中文,历经学习挫折,最终发现交友是学外语最佳方式。
【1题详解】
句意:和许多外国人一样,2009年我第一次来到中国北京时,只认识两个中文词语(你好和谢谢)。
上文提到很多外国人在学中文,空后为只会两个中文词语,only意为“只、仅仅”贴合语境。usually“通常”,hardly“几乎不”,均和后文只会两个词语的语境不匹配。
【2题详解】
句意:你能猜到,在我到达之后的一段时间里,我的生活很艰难。
下文表示点餐、打车这类简单事都很有压力,说明生活处境艰难,difficult意为“困难的”符合文意。easy“容易的”,boring“无聊的”,都无法对应后文生活不便的描述。
【3题详解】
句意:我知道自己必须学习更多中文,于是我上了中文课。
固定搭配take Chinese classes表示“上中文课”,时态为一般过去时用took。learned后直接接语言,不搭配class,taught“教”,语义与身份不符。
【4题详解】
句意:我的老师很有耐心,给予了我很多帮助,尽管我学到的内容还不足以进行真正的交谈。
空后为“helped me a lot”,表示老师帮了自己很多,patient意为“有耐心的”契合教师形象。thankful“感激的”,meaningful“有意义的”,不能用来形容老师待人的态度。
【5题详解】
句意:于是我决定放弃。
上文提到自学进步缓慢,语境偏向消极,give up意为“放弃”符合逻辑。make up“编造、弥补”,put up“张贴、举起”,均与学习遇挫的语境无关。
【6题详解】
句意:他教了我许多和音乐有关的词汇,例如“旋律”。
空后给出举例单词“melody”,属于词语范畴,words意为“单词、词语”贴合句意。sentences“句子”,names“名字”,不符合单个词汇举例的语境。
【7题详解】
句意:作为回报,他也从我这里学了很多英语,这是交流语言和文化的好方式。
根据“He learned a lot of English...me in return”可知,此处是固定搭配learn sth. from sb.表示“向某人学习某物”。
【8题详解】
句意:我已经学到足够的中文,可以处理很多事情,比如预订火车票。
空后为预订车票这类生活问题,deal with意为“处理、应对”适配语境。think of“想起、认为”,look after“照顾”,都不能搭配“problems”表示解决事务。
【9题详解】
句意:我能够意识到为什么中文是一门奇妙的语言。
上文提到如今越来越多外国人学中文,结合自身经历作者深有体会,realize意为“意识到、明白”符合心境。hope“希望”,repeat“重复”,语义无法贴合感悟语言魅力的语境。
【10题详解】
句意:最后我发现,学习一门外语最好的方式是和本地人交朋友、多相处。
固定结构the best way to do sth.表示“做某事最好的方式”,此处需用动词不定式。

【导语】本文讲述布鲁斯踢球脱外套着凉生病,在家偶遇推销员误认房屋而闹出笑话的小故事。
【11题详解】
第一段说明:“This morning, he felt unwell and couldn’t go to school”,文中交代他今早起床后感到身体不适,由此可知布鲁斯是今早起床后感冒的。
【12题详解】
第一段陈述:“This morning, he felt unwell and couldn’t go to school. His mother told him to stay in bed”,点明布鲁斯今早身体不舒服无法上学,母亲让他卧床休息。
【13题详解】
结合全文情节逻辑推理:昨天是周日,今天已是上学日,布鲁斯生病在家,他的朋友都正常在校上课,没有同伴陪伴,只能独自玩耍。
【14题详解】
第一段介绍:“It’s warmer outside. Go to sun yourself after you take the medicine”,结合语境外面天气暖和,母亲让他吃完药到户外接受阳光照射,可判断sun此处为动词含义“晒太阳”。
【15题详解】
结合生活常识与人物身份推导:“a salesman (推销员) came up to him and asked”,文中人物身份是推销员,这类职业上门一般是向住户推销商品,推销员询问男孩母亲是否在家、按门铃敲门,目的是向布鲁斯的妈妈售卖东西。

There is a saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Although eating properly is important, being kind to others is also good for your health. Studies show that people who perform kind acts(行为)are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.
In one study at Arizona State University researchers found that many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act. This feeling, called “a help’s high” may actually help reduce stress(压力)as the body releases(释放)natural painkillers.
Stress can cause serious health problems such as heart disease, depression and sleeping problems. However, the study found that volunteers had fewer stress-related health problems when they did helpful things for other people.
The study also found that people who did nice things for others felt better about themselves as well. They had higher self-esteem(自尊), and were happier. Many believe this is because volunteers spend more of their time with other people. People who are more outgoing are often healthier.
Another study at the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center confirmed(证实)the health benefits of volunteering. A ten-year study showed that people who volunteered live longer than those who didn’t. Although you shouldn’t need a reason to be helpful, it is nice to know that kindness may help you live longer.
16. The reading is mainly about________.
A. healthy people are kind because they have more energy
B. one has to eat an apple every day to become healthy
C. kind people can be stressed because they are always helping
D. doing kind things can make you feel good and help you be healthier
17. According to the reading ________.
A. it is better to be kind than to eat well B. kindness can help you feel healthy
C. an apple a day can keep doctors away D. eating correctly makes one happy and healthy
18. The study found that people who help others can have________.
A. sleeping problems and stress B. fewer natural painkillers
C. overeating and depression problems D. fewer health problems
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了友善待人、帮助他人对健康的积极影响,包括减轻压力、提升自尊、减少健康问题甚至延长寿命。
【16题详解】
由第1段“Studies show that people who perform kind acts are more relaxed, happier, and healthier than other people.”和全文内容可知,文章核心是做善事能让人心情变好、更健康。
【17题详解】
由第2段“many volunteers experienced a sudden feeling of joy, followed by a long period of calm, after performing a kind act.”和后续研究可知,友善能帮助你保持健康。

C
Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn’t let it stop him. The brave young man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs, despite (尽管) the fact that he has no limbs (四肢).
Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance (平衡) and enables him to kick (踢). He uses his one foot to type (打字), write with a pen and pick things up between his toes. “I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. “I’d be lost without it. When I get in the water, I float (漂浮) and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨).”
“He’s very shy, but he gets marriage offers from women all the time,” said Nick’s friend, Steve Appel, an expert from Los Angeles. “He would love to get married and start a family, but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit (呕吐). His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old. His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them. “My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy, but she still blamed (责备) herself,” he said. “It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. When I was 18 months old, my dad put me in the water and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.”
19. What can we learn from what Steve Appel said?
A. Nick Vujicic is serious about marriage. B. Nick Vujicic is too shy to talk with women.
C. Nick Vujicic is afraid of starting a family. D. Nick Vujicic is not willing to get married.
20. How did Nick’s parents feel when he was born?
A. Angry. B. Pleased. C. Disappointed. D. Excited.
21. The underlined word “distraught” probably means “________” in Chinese.
A. 冷漠无情的 B. 充满爱心的 C. 和蔼可亲的 D. 心烦意乱的
【答案】19. A 20. C 21. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍尼克天生无四肢却乐观生活,讲述他的生活能力、婚恋态度及父母当初的心情与养育付出。
【19题详解】
第三段转述话语:“He’s very shy, but he gets marriage offers from women all the time... He would love to get married and start a family, but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”,能看出尼克并不排斥婚姻、也不害怕组建家庭,只是谨慎等候合适的人,对待婚姻态度认真。
【20题详解】
第四段描述情景:“his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.”,父亲震惊失措,母亲心绪难安,能体现父母内心失望又难过。
【21题详解】
第四段烘托心情:“his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.”,结合父亲震惊呕吐的情节,母亲迟迟不敢抱孩子,可推断“distraught”表达心绪不宁、焦虑不安的状态,对应“心烦意乱的”。

第Ⅱ卷 书面表达(共三节)
四、词汇运用,根据句意、首字母、音标或者汉语提示完成单词。(每题2分,满分10分)
31. Shanghai is a wonderful place to travel and is one of the l________ cities in China.
【答案】largest##argest
【解析】
【详解】句意:上海是一个旅游的好地方,也是中国最大的城市之一。句中有固定结构“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”,表示“最……之一”,结合首字母l以及语境可知,形容城市规模,large意为“大的”,其最高级变化规则为在词尾加-st,变为largest。
32. ________ (除了) Tom, three more students will do the work.
【答案】Besides
【解析】
【详解】句意:除了汤姆之外,还有三个学生将做这项工作。besides意为“除了……之外(还有)”,符合句中包含Tom在内还有其他学生参与工作的语境,句首首字母大写。
33. Lu Xun was a great writer that many Chinese people ________ (崇拜) him and respect him.
【答案】admire
【解析】
【详解】句意:鲁迅是一位伟大的作家,许多中国人钦佩和尊敬他。“崇拜”admire,and前后谓语时态一致,此处用动词原形。故填admire。
34. In most cultures, it is important to smile and keep the conversation light and ________ (幽默的).
【答案】humorous
【解析】
【详解】句意:在大多数文化中,保持微笑并让谈话轻松且幽默是很重要的。空处与形容词“light”并列,需填入形容词作宾语补足语,humorous意为“幽默的”。
35. He ________ (建议) going for a picnic since it was a sunny day.
【答案】suggested##advised
【解析】
【详解】句意:由于天气晴朗,他建议去野餐。“建议”suggest/advise,suggest/advise doing sth“建议做某事”,符合本句的语法结构;根据“since it was a sunny day”可知,时态是一般过去时,所以空处用动词过去式。故填suggested/advised。
五、综合填空(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
love need suggest if strange help be easy break three
Personality (性格,个性) is something that makes a person different from others. When we say that someone has a good personality, we mean that he or she is ____36____, interesting and easy to get on with. Do you know how to develop a good personality? Here are my ____37____.

38. stranger
39. easily 40. to be
41. break 42. Third
43. if 44. helpful
45. needs
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍培养良好性格的四种方法,分别是认真倾听、心态积极、拥有主见、乐于助人。
【36题详解】
句意:当我们说某人拥有良好的性格时,指的是他善良、风趣且容易相处。本空和“interesting”、“easy”并列,需要用形容词来描述人的性格品质,所给词汇love可变形为形容词loving,意为“友善的、有爱心的”,贴合夸赞良好性格的上下文语境。
【37题详解】
句意:下面是我的建议。上文提出如何培养好性格的疑问,下文分段给出具体做法,属于给出建议,suggest为动词,要转为名词复数形式suggestions,适配多条建议的语境。
【38题详解】
句意:当有人甚至一位陌生人和我们交谈时,我们应该注视着对方,认真倾听他说的每一句话。空前有不定冠词“a”,需填入单数可数名词,前文出现“someone”指普通人,此处语义递进延伸到不相识的人,由形容词strange变为名词stranger,意为“陌生人”,符合上下文逻辑。
【39题详解】
句意:如果一个人动不动就发脾气,没有人愿意待在他的身边。本空用来修饰动词短语“gets angry”,需要用副词,形容词easy变为副词easily,意为“轻易地”,契合动不动就发脾气、没人愿意亲近的语境。
【40题详解】
句意:努力做一个心态乐观快乐的人。上下文倡导保持积极心态,固定搭配try to do sth.表示“努力做某事”,此处表达努力成为乐观的人,所以选用to be。
【41题详解】
句意:即便其他人感到生气,你也可以用一些幽默的话语打破僵局,让他们开心起来。情态动词“can”后面要接动词原形,社交语境中用幽默话语化解尴尬,固定短语break the ice意为“打破僵局”,贴合前后文交际场景。
【42题详解】
句意:第三,要有自己的想法。文章用“First”、“Second”依次分点阐述建议,后文还有“Last”收尾,此处缺少第三点顺序衔接,基数词three变为序数词Third,用于分点罗列,符合文章行文结构。
【43题详解】
句意:如果你没有自己的想法,谈话就无法继续下去。前后句子存在假设与结果的条件逻辑关系,连词if意为“如果”,可以引导条件状语从句,契合上下文语义逻辑。
【44题详解】
句意:最后,乐于助人也同样重要。本段后文讲述人与人互帮互助、增进友谊,本空需用形容词作表语,动词help变形为形容词helpful,意为“乐于助人的”,贴合段落表达的主旨。
【45题详解】
句意:所以当有人需要帮助时,尽力伸出援手。语境表达别人有需求时主动帮忙,主语“someone”是不定代词,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式,此处指有人需要帮助时,need意为“需要”,变形为needs,同时符合语法规则和句意。
六、阅读表达(共6小题;71-73小题,每小题2分;74-76小题,每小题3分,共15分)

末段阐述举措:“China is planning to foster the habits of reading in its law”,提炼出我国为鼓励阅读将要采取的措施,精简语句作答。
【49题详解】
第二段介绍:“an average of 26 minutes on WeChat Reading”,spend...on...为固定搭配,意为“在……花费时间”,时态为一般现在时,主语为集体名词,用原形spend;第三段起到衔接作用:“our lives and the unknown world”,固定结构between...and...意为“在……和……之间”,填between;末段表转折关系:“this has both good and bad sides, it can be seen as a way...”,前后语义让步转折,用Although/Though引导让步状语从句。
【50题详解】
“Most books are easy to read, so students won’t lose their confidence in reading”意为“大多数书籍通俗易懂,所以学生们不会丧失阅读的信心”。Most books“大多数书籍”;be easy to read“易于阅读、通俗易懂”;so“所以”;students“学生们”;won’t lose“不会失去、不会丧失”;confidence“信心”;of reading“阅读方面的”。
