Gradually, my students had a good grasp of techniques — shading, perspective and composition. Yet their works of fruits and vases, though accurate, felt empty. It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments. Determined to turn the tables, I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”. I began by asking students to select an emotion card — loneliness, joy, longing — and sketch (素描) freely around it. Hesitation filled the room, pencils held still. I didn’t rush them. Instead, I shared stories of artists who channeled inner worlds into visual form and showed examples where personal memory met craft. Then, I introduced the core assignment: “Create a piece about a memory that shaped you. The emotion must be real.” In the next week, we were buried in developing sketches, experimenting with materials, and talking about what makes a feeling visible. On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of “childhood” presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years, using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear. Another student focused on a scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly, yet deeply, of connection and belonging. Standing before their work, I felt my own teaching shift beneath me. Art is not expressed through polished techniques and imitation, but through the rich expression of emotion. My role, I now see, is to ignite the spark that guides their hand from heart to paper. 4. What does the underlined phrase “turn the tables” in paragraph 3 mean? A. To follow the plan. B. To rearrange the desks. C. To switch the roles. D. To change the situation. 5. Why are the two students mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To compare students’ skill levels. B. To explain the teacher’s requirements. C. To prove the effectiveness of the new unit. D. To display the techniques in students’ works. 6. Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Strict and reserved. B. Reflective and adaptive. C. Caring and demanding. D. Accessible and determined. 7. What is the main message conveyed by the text? A. Art speaks from within. B. Art requires experiences. C. Art mirrors life’s changes. D. Art improves with practice. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位美术老师在教学初期发现学生作品虽技巧熟练但缺乏情感，于是设计名为“艺术之声”的新单元，引导学生基于真实情感和记忆进行创作，最终学生的作品充满了生命力，让老师深刻反思到艺术的真谛在于内在情感的表达。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语上文“It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments.(然而，在他们那份放在桌上的草稿中，我第一次感受到了他们情感的奔放和创造力的迸发，这种特质在他们的正式作业中我却很少见到)”提到老师发现学生作品缺乏活力，下文“I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”(我设计了一个名为“有声艺术”的新单元)”描述老师决心设计新单元改变这一状况。因此，“turn the tables”意为“扭转局面，改变形势”（To change the situation）。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of “childhood” presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years, using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear. Another student focused on a scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly, yet deeply, of connection and belonging.(在展览当天，我目睹了一次悄然的转变。一位以“童年”为主题进行创作的学生展示了一组素描作品。他描绘了自己童年时期的一辆破旧的铁皮火车，运用我们熟练的光影效果来勾勒出其形状和磨损之处。另一位学生则专注于一位同学送给她的一条围巾。她通过细微的色调变化和精准的线条描绘，展现了织物的质地以及边缘褪色的图案。构图的简洁性以一种轻柔而深沉的方式，诉说着联系与归属感)”可知，作者在介绍新单元“Art with a Voice”的实施后，列举了两个学生的具体作品案例，是为了展示新教学方法带来的积极成果，即证明新单元的有效性。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments.(然而，在他们那份放在桌上的草稿中，我第一次感受到了他们情感的奔放和创造力的迸发，这种特质在他们的正式作业中我却很少见到)”以及第三段“Determined to turn the tables, I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”.(为了扭转局面，我设计了一个名为“有声艺术”的新单元)”可知，老师能发现教学中的问题（反思），并主动调整教学计划（适应性强），设计新单元引导学生，体现了其善于反思和适应的特点。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Art is not expressed through polished techniques and imitation, but through the rich expression of emotion.(艺术并非通过高超的技巧和模仿来展现，而是通过丰富的情感表达来体现)”可知，主要传达的信息是“艺术源于内心”。故选A。 C For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙) patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarch butterflies tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out — until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla. The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving longterm sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarch butterflies through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarch butterflies flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand. The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay. The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch butterfly change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.” 8. What was hard for David to do in his study? A. Gain financial support. B. Hire qualified workers. C. Build a new laboratory. D. Find enough monarch butterflies. 9. Why were the butterflies tagged before being released? A. To guarantee their safety. B. To enable them to fly longer distances. C. To track their travel routes. D. To distinguish them from other species. 10. What makes the prisoners feel that they can change? A. The patience the butterflies showed. B. The hardship the butterflies underwent. C. The transformation of the butterflies. D. The devotion of James to the butterflies. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The impact of the research. B. The findings of James' study. C. The release of the prisoners. D. The life cycle of the butterflies. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了华盛顿州立大学的昆虫学家大卫・詹姆斯（David James）致力于研究西海岸黑脉金斑蝶的迁徙模式，由于蝴蝶数量稀少难以追踪，后与监狱合作，让囚犯参与饲养并标记放飞蝴蝶，从而追踪到其迁徙路线，同时这项工作也对囚犯产生了积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarch butterflies tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely(蝴蝶的迁徙路线几乎无人知晓，因为它们的数量太少，难以追踪。詹姆斯说，研究人员每标记200只黑脉金斑蝶，通常在它们的旅程结束时只能找回一只，而且在野外找到200只来标记都是不太可能的)”可知，在大卫的研究中，找到足够数量的黑脉金斑蝶来进行标记是很困难的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out—until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla(了解迁徙路线对保护工作至关重要，但詹姆斯一直无法弄清楚——直到他接到了来自沃拉沃拉的华盛顿州立监狱的电话)”以及第三段“The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California.(标签上有电子邮件地址，第一批蝴蝶起飞后不久，詹姆斯就开始收到发现它们的人发来的信息。报告证实，这些蝴蝶在加利福尼亚海岸过冬)”可知，蝴蝶在放生前被贴上了标签是为了能够追踪它们的飞行路线。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Watching the monarch butterfly change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.”(看着黑脉金斑蝶改变它们的形态也触动了这些囚犯。詹姆斯回忆起囚犯们告诉他：“这只蝴蝶改变了，也许我们也可以。”)可知，是黑脉金斑蝶从一种形态转变为另一种形态的过程，让囚犯们觉得自己也有可能像蝴蝶一样发生改变。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch butterfly change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.”(这项工作帮助研究人员确定了种植马利筋和其他对西海岸黑脉金斑蝶生命周期很重要的植物的理想地点。它也展现出了一些囚犯较为温柔的一面。詹姆斯说：“他们非常担心会伤害到蝴蝶。” 看着黑脉金斑蝶改变形态也触动了这些人。詹姆斯回忆起囚犯们告诉他：“这只蝴蝶改变了，也许我们也可以)”可知，最后一段既提到了这项研究对于确定适合种植对蝴蝶重要植物的地点的帮助，又提到了对囚犯们产生的积极影响，展现了他们温柔的一面以及让他们觉得自己能够改变。可推理出这一段主要讲述的是这项研究带来的影响。故选A项。 D History, as it is studied today, begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret. Western historians begin with the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians, and especially the Ancient Greeks. These might be the first civilizations to produce complex texts, art and architecture to which we still have some access in the twenty-first century. Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form different interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary. The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice (主观成见) which might emerge before and during research. However, it is too limited, and it can paint a false picture of the past to both professional and recreational readers by focusing too narrowly on certain events or individuals and completely ignoring other seemingly less important events or individuals through a lack of either evidence or interest. History as a series of events covers the lives of billions of people from every country for thousands of years. Each individual’s actions and everyday life, from their birth until their death, is history, and worthy of study in its own right. Furthermore, to be objective in an historical essay, one must be separated from one’s study, having no emotional reaction to the evidence and maintaining a tolerance and relativity to historical context, so that the evidence will not be destroyed by modern prejudice. However, absolute separation, whether through attempted objectivity or distance of time, is useless to historical study. Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study. 12. How did the earliest civilizations help historians? A. By recording analytical skills. B. By providing first-hand materials. C. By presenting high-quality works. D. By simplifying historical research. 13. What are historians expected to do in their writing? A. Express their private thoughts openly. B. Focus on recent events and modern times. C. Keep personal feelings out of their works. D. Copy others’ ideas into their own articles. 14. Why is pure objectivity criticized according to the text? A. It ignores events with no significance. B. It cuts the ties between certain events. C. It shows an unclear image of the past. D. It acts against human beings’ nature. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Subjectivity: A Threat to Old Civilizations B. Subjectivity: A Necessity for Historical Study C. History: The Story of Everyone and Everyday Life D. History: The Subject Affected by Social Environment 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了历史研究工作并非纯粹客观的，会受到研究者自身主观心态和所处环境的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“History, as it is studied today, begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret.(如今所研究的历史始于最早的文明时期，这些文明留下了可供历史学家收集、分析和解读的视觉和文字资料)”可知，最早的文明通过提供第一手资料帮助历史学家。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice (主观成见) which might emerge before and during research.(这篇文章必须保持客观冷静，力求做到客观公正，要摒弃在研究之前及研究过程中可能出现的任何主观偏见)”可知，历史学家在写作时应该将个人情感排除在作品之外。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study.(纯粹的客观性永远不可能实现，因为我们都是高度主观的、情绪化的生物，我们写的东西总是反映出这一点：它使我们成为人类，人性是我们研究的对象)”由此可见，人类的本质决定了历史研究不可能是纯粹客观的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段是引入研究背景；第二段通过不同历史学家的见解引出客观性这一问题；第三段讲述的是过度强调客观性的危害，即导致我们忽视那些看似不重要的事件或人物；第四段从人的本质角度解释了纯粹的客观性不会实现的原因。由此可见，文章讲述了历史研究工作并非纯粹客观的，会受到研究者自身主观心态和所处环境的影响。B项“主观性：历史研究的必要性”为最佳标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Apps and Your Privacy In today’s digital age, protecting your privacy while using apps is important. All apps collect data as you use them. Here are some good tips to keep your personal information safe. ___16___ For starters, download apps only from the App Store, not from random websites. ___17___ Before you accept an app’s terms and conditions, look at what information it’s planning to collect and think twice if it’s asking for too many permissions. For example, why would a gaming app need access to text messages? You may think it’s inconvenient, but it’s worth it. Also, most apps don’t need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to enable location services only when using the particular app, another smart privacy safeguard. ___18___ Don’t use your main e-mail address or social media account. This way, if there is a security breach (缺口), your exposure is contained to things connected to that address. And, of course, use a secure password. This means a long one (at least ten characters) with a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters—and a unique password for each app. According to security experts, a good trick is to create a memorable “passphrase” by creating a series of random (任意的) words, and then replace numbers or special characters for some of the letters ___19___ Go ahead and write them down—just store it in a secure location (not your wallet or phone case!). Finally, remember that privacy is an ongoing concern. Regularly review the apps you have installed and the permissions you’ve granted them. Stay informed about the latest privacy threats and solutions. ___20___ By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy the benefits of apps while protecting your personal data. A. It’s better to be safe than sorry. B. How will you ever remember them all? C. Why is it so important to protect our privacy? D. Moreover, create strong, unique passwords for each app. E. Because it can prevent bad software from infecting your device. F. Following these four steps will help ensure you’re not oversharing. G. Sign up an e-mail address just for things like app permissions and e-mail newsletters. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了使用应用程序时保护隐私的一些方法和建议。 【16题详解】 上文“Here are some good tips to keep your personal information safe.(这里有一些保护个人信息安全的好建议)”说明文章接下来要讲保护隐私的具体方法。空处起到引出下文具体建议的作用，F选项“遵循这四个步骤将有助于确保你不会过度分享信息。”符合语境，能很好地引出下文的具体内容。所以选F。 【17题详解】 上文“For starters, download apps only from the App Store, not from random websites.(首先，只从应用商店下载应用程序，而不是从随意的网站上下载)”说明了下载应用程序的正确方式。空处应解释这样做的原因，E选项“因为它可以防止恶意软件感染你的设备。”符合语境。该项中的 it指代上文从应用商店下载应用程序这一行为。故选E。 【18题详解】 下文“Don’t use your main e-mail address or social media account. This way, if there is a security breach (缺口), your exposure is contained to things connected to that address.(不要使用你的主要电子邮件地址或社交媒体账户。这样，如果存在安全漏洞，你的信息暴露范围就只限于与该地址相关的事情)”提到了不使用主要电子邮件地址，空处应与创建用于应用程序等的电子邮件地址相关，G选项“注册一个仅用于应用程序权限和电子邮件通讯等事情的电子邮件地址。”符合语境，引出下文对不使用主要邮箱地址的解释。所以选G。 【19题详解】 上文“According to security experts, a good trick is to create a memorable “passphrase” by creating a series of random (任意的) words, and then replace numbers or special characters for some of the letters.(根据安全专家的说法，一个好的技巧是通过创建一系列任意的单词来创建一个容易记住的“密码短语”，然后用数字或特殊字符替换其中的一些字母)”提到了创建密码的方法，下文“Go ahead and write them down—just store it in a secure location (not your wallet or phone case!).(继续把它们写下来——只要把它存放在一个安全的地方（不是你的钱包或手机壳里！）)”提到写下密码，空处应与记住这些密码相关。B选项“你要怎么记住所有这些密码呢？”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“Finally, remember that privacy is an ongoing concern. Regularly review the apps you have installed and the permissions you’ve granted them. Stay informed about the latest privacy threats and solutions.(最后，请记住，隐私是一个持续关注的问题。定期检查你安装的应用程序以及你授予它们的权限。随时了解最新的隐私威胁和解决方案)”强调了保护隐私要持续关注，采取措施。空处应是对这种做法的总结，A选项“安全总比后悔好。”符合语境，说明做好这些措施保护隐私是有益的。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题） 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We were three days into a 27-day journey through eastern Nepal’s forests, walking through low clouds and constant rain. “Are we on the right path?” I asked my guide Raj.

Before this summer holiday, their school was to hold the annual “School Play”, wanting a whole set of actors. That was their luck. “I’d like to play a role in the show.” Molly told herself. After reading the notice, she learned that the play was named Rapunzel, who was a magic princess. Another leading role was an evil witch (女巫) stealing Rapunzel to keep herself young forever. Immediately, Molly and Maye were both attracted by the role of princess. Apart from them, there were about twenty other girls interested in this role as well. So an audition (试镜) would be needed to choose the most suitable one. “Do you really want to play the princess, Maye?” they walked home, arm in arm. “Yes, a little. And you?” Maye replied. Long silence... Several weeks before the audition, they practiced and practiced. With time speeding by, Molly’s confidence grew and she felt happy with her acting. The morning of the audition arrived at last. Unbelievable! So many students crowded into the school hall to appreciate and witness the moment. Nervous though Molly was, she took a deep breath and recalled what she had practiced. During the audition, she tried her best to present her best self, and she was sure that she could make it. After an anxiety-filled hour, the result of the audition came out. Molly didn’t even dare to check the result in person. Standing outside the crowd, she heard someone shouting, “Maye is the princess!” What was worse, Molly was shocked to learn that she was given the role of “witch”! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Molly rushed home and burst out crying when her mother came. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the big day for the play arrived. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Molly rushed home and burst out crying when her mother came. After her mom knew about everything, she smiled, “Dear, why not try your best to make witch impressed? Maybe you are the best.” Molly jerked up her head as if awake from a dream. She kissed her mother in gratitude and got ready immediately. She carefully analyzed the witch’s personality traits, body language, consulted professionals, and looked up information about the relevant characters. As she learned more, her confidence grew gradually. A few days later, the big day for the play arrived. The performance was a great success. Molly’s performance as the witch was as impressive as Maye’s as the princess, and the applause from the audience continued, which made Molly cry with joy. And her friend Maye also hugged her deeply and whispered, “If I had played a witch, I might not be as good as you.” Molly also understands a truth: no matter what role you play, as long as it is taken seriously, it will make people impressed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述都喜欢表演的茉莉和梅耶都被话剧《长发公主》中的主角公主吸引，茉莉暗自努力为试镜做准备。试镜后，她确信自己能成功。在焦虑的一个小时后，试镜结果出来了：梅耶是公主，而自己演女巫的角色。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“莫莉冲回家，当妈妈一进屋就大哭起来。”可知，本段可以写在妈妈的劝解下，茉莉终于接受女巫一角，并努力练习。 ②由第一段首句内容“几天后，演出的大日子到了。”可知，本段可以写演出很成功，茉莉的女巫和梅耶的公主一样给大家留下深刻印象。茉莉也明白了一个道理：角色无大小，只要认真对待，一样会让人们惊艳。 2. 续写线索： 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①抬头：jerked up one’s head/raise one’s head ②查阅：look up/consult/refer to ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①笑：smile/laugh/giggle/grin ②哭：cry/burst into tears/weep/sob ③高兴：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she learned more, her confidence grew gradually.

Gradually, my students had a good grasp of techniques — shading, perspective and composition. Yet their works of fruits and vases, though accurate, felt empty. It was in their draft paper on the desk, however, that I first saw the vitality of their emotions and creativity, something I had rarely seen in their formal assignments. Determined to turn the tables, I designed a new unit titled “Art with a Voice”. I began by asking students to select an emotion card — loneliness, joy, longing — and sketch (素描) freely around it. Hesitation filled the room, pencils held still. I didn’t rush them. Instead, I shared stories of artists who channeled inner worlds into visual form and showed examples where personal memory met craft. Then, I introduced the core assignment: “Create a piece about a memory that shaped you. The emotion must be real.” In the next week, we were buried in developing sketches, experimenting with materials, and talking about what makes a feeling visible. On exhibition day, I witnessed a quiet transformation. A student working with the theme of “childhood” presented a set of sketches. They focused on a worn tin train from his early years, using our practiced light and shadow to trace its shape and wear. Another student focused on a scarf given by a classmate. She used fine shifts in value and precise line work to depict the fabric and the faded pattern along its edge. The simplicity of the composition spoke softly, yet deeply, of connection and belonging. Standing before their work, I felt my own teaching shift beneath me. Art is not expressed through polished techniques and imitation, but through the rich expression of emotion. My role, I now see, is to ignite the spark that guides their hand from heart to paper. 4. What does the underlined phrase “turn the tables” in paragraph 3 mean? A. To follow the plan. B. To rearrange the desks. C. To switch the roles. D. To change the situation. 5. Why are the two students mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To compare students’ skill levels. B. To explain the teacher’s requirements. C. To prove the effectiveness of the new unit. D. To display the techniques in students’ works. 6. Which of the following best describes the teacher? A. Strict and reserved. B. Reflective and adaptive. C. Caring and demanding. D. Accessible and determined. 7. What is the main message conveyed by the text? A. Art speaks from within. B. Art requires experiences. C. Art mirrors life’s changes. D. Art improves with practice. C For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (迁徙) patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarch butterflies tagged (打标签) by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out — until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla. The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving longterm sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarch butterflies through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarch butterflies flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand. The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay. The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,” James says. Watching the monarch butterfly change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed,” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too.” 8. What was hard for David to do in his study? A. Gain financial support. B. Hire qualified workers. C. Build a new laboratory. D. Find enough monarch butterflies. 9. Why were the butterflies tagged before being released? A. To guarantee their safety. B. To enable them to fly longer distances. C. To track their travel routes. D. To distinguish them from other species. 10. What makes the prisoners feel that they can change? A. The patience the butterflies showed. B. The hardship the butterflies underwent. C. The transformation of the butterflies. D. The devotion of James to the butterflies. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The impact of the research. B. The findings of James' study. C. The release of the prisoners. D. The life cycle of the butterflies. D History, as it is studied today, begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret. Western historians begin with the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians, and especially the Ancient Greeks. These might be the first civilizations to produce complex texts, art and architecture to which we still have some access in the twenty-first century. Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form different interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary. The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice (主观成见) which might emerge before and during research. However, it is too limited, and it can paint a false picture of the past to both professional and recreational readers by focusing too narrowly on certain events or individuals and completely ignoring other seemingly less important events or individuals through a lack of either evidence or interest. History as a series of events covers the lives of billions of people from every country for thousands of years. Each individual’s actions and everyday life, from their birth until their death, is history, and worthy of study in its own right. Furthermore, to be objective in an historical essay, one must be separated from one’s study, having no emotional reaction to the evidence and maintaining a tolerance and relativity to historical context, so that the evidence will not be destroyed by modern prejudice. However, absolute separation, whether through attempted objectivity or distance of time, is useless to historical study. Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study. 12. How did the earliest civilizations help historians? A. By recording analytical skills. B. By providing first-hand materials. C. By presenting high-quality works. D. By simplifying historical research. 13. What are historians expected to do in their writing? A. Express their private thoughts openly. B. Focus on recent events and modern times. C. Keep personal feelings out of their works. D. Copy others’ ideas into their own articles. 14. Why is pure objectivity criticized according to the text? A. It ignores events with no significance. B.

All apps collect data as you use them. Here are some good tips to keep your personal information safe. ___16___ For starters, download apps only from the App Store, not from random websites. ___17___ Before you accept an app’s terms and conditions, look at what information it’s planning to collect and think twice if it’s asking for too many permissions. For example, why would a gaming app need access to text messages? You may think it’s inconvenient, but it’s worth it. Also, most apps don’t need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to enable location services only when using the particular app, another smart privacy safeguard. ___18___ Don’t use your main e-mail address or social media account. This way, if there is a security breach (缺口), your exposure is contained to things connected to that address. And, of course, use a secure password. This means a long one (at least ten characters) with a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters—and a unique password for each app. According to security experts, a good trick is to create a memorable “passphrase” by creating a series of random (任意的) words, and then replace numbers or special characters for some of the letters ___19___ Go ahead and write them down—just store it in a secure location (not your wallet or phone case!). Finally, remember that privacy is an ongoing concern. Regularly review the apps you have installed and the permissions you’ve granted them. Stay informed about the latest privacy threats and solutions. ___20___ By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy the benefits of apps while protecting your personal data. A. It’s better to be safe than sorry. B. How will you ever remember them all? C. Why is it so important to protect our privacy? D. Moreover, create strong, unique passwords for each app. E. Because it can prevent bad software from infecting your device. F. Following these four steps will help ensure you’re not oversharing. G. Sign up an e-mail address just for things like app permissions and e-mail newsletters. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题） 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We were three days into a 27-day journey through eastern Nepal’s forests, walking through low clouds and constant rain. “Are we on the right path?” I asked my guide Raj.

Before this summer holiday, their school was to hold the annual “School Play”, wanting a whole set of actors. That was their luck. “I’d like to play a role in the show.” Molly told herself. After reading the notice, she learned that the play was named Rapunzel, who was a magic princess. Another leading role was an evil witch (女巫) stealing Rapunzel to keep herself young forever. Immediately, Molly and Maye were both attracted by the role of princess. Apart from them, there were about twenty other girls interested in this role as well. So an audition (试镜) would be needed to choose the most suitable one. “Do you really want to play the princess, Maye?” they walked home, arm in arm. “Yes, a little. And you?” Maye replied. Long silence... Several weeks before the audition, they practiced and practiced. With time speeding by, Molly’s confidence grew and she felt happy with her acting. The morning of the audition arrived at last. Unbelievable! So many students crowded into the school hall to appreciate and witness the moment. Nervous though Molly was, she took a deep breath and recalled what she had practiced. During the audition, she tried her best to present her best self, and she was sure that she could make it. After an anxiety-filled hour, the result of the audition came out. Molly didn’t even dare to check the result in person. Standing outside the crowd, she heard someone shouting, “Maye is the princess!” What was worse, Molly was shocked to learn that she was given the role of “witch”! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Molly rushed home and burst out crying when her mother came. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, the big day for the play arrived. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
