No one taught you how to do this. Learning to read and write took a lot more effort. Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Literacy (读写能力) makes it possible to travel in a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs, and more. But the world of information is changing. Why send a long letter or text when you can share photos or videos instead? Why learn from a book when you can watch an instructional video or practice a skill in virtual reality (虚拟现实)? Why read magazines when you can listen to podcasts (播客)? Could a growing number of people take part in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices (设备) now talk to us. Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, order goods, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions (互动) aren’t perfect. The software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine we’ll communicate with our devices and each other is spoken in the future. But reading and writing are powerful tools. For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audiobook teller speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can look through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they are reading. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn developed the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution (进化) of humans.” Would you really choose to give up that progress? What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make reading no longer needed? 34. What can we learn from Para. 1? A. Reading and writing are natural skills. B. It is easy to learn to read and write. C. Literacy is very important in daily lives. D. Most people learn reading by themselves. 35. Why does the writer mention the three questions in Para. 2? A. To offer a new way to improve reading and writing skills. B. To ask readers to offer their answers to these questions. C. To show the writer has many questions about the topic. D. To show the change in the ways of getting information . 36. Which of the following supports the statement “reading and writing are powerful tools”? ①Most people read faster than they speak. ②People stay more interested when they read. ③Learning to read improves the way we think. ④People can understand texts better when reading. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 37. Which of the following might the writer agree with? A. Reading and writing will be of no use soon. B. People shouldn’t give up reading and writing. C. Technology will rearrange human’s brain. D. Virtual reality will take the place of books. 【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕人类读写能力这一话题进行了论述，目前信息社会中通讯方式的多样以及智能技术的发展对人类读写能力带来了很大的影响，但是读写能力依然非常重要。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“ Literacy (读写能力) makes it possible to travel in a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs, and more.”可知读写能力对于日常生活很重要。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But the world of information is changing.”可知，作者提问是为了说明现代社会获取信息的方式在改变。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For one, most people read faster than they speak... people remember more information and stay more interested when they are reading”对应句①和句②；“Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain...”对应句③，可知，选项A符合。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。综合全文大意可知，作者认为读写能力是强有力的工具，对于人类是非常重要的，所以作者应是认为人类不应该放弃读写。选项B符合。故选B。 C When you read the word “bacteria (细菌)”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe diseases. That would be fair—some bacteria can make people ill. But most bacteria are not harmful. Bacteria perform many useful jobs almost everywhere on Earth. For example, the bacteria that live in our stomachs may help us digest food. Bacteria in soil help break down dead plant and animal matter to recycle nutrients (营养物质). Bacteria in the ocean take in climate-warming greenhouse gases. Humans have long used the power of bacteria for many purposes. They add bacteria to cheeses and breads to improve taste. Some bacteria can make the immune system (免疫系统) work better and help the body resist diseases. Certain bacteria could also clean up pollution, store energy and build super strong materials. Because we need certain types of bacteria in our bodies to stay healthy, some food producers add some of them to yogurt and other dairy products. If you ever see food packaging labeled (标有) “living culture”, that is telling us the food has live bacteria inside. So, please continue washing your hands to keep them free of harmful bacteria. But remember that many of the world’s bacteria are friends, not enemies. 38. What do we know about bacteria? A. They mainly live in the ocean. B. Most of them are harmful to people. C. They serve many different purposes. D. They are the cause of most diseases. 39. How is Paragraph 2 developed? A. By listing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons. 40. What does the underlined word “resist” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Hide. B. Spread. C. Discover. D. Prevent. 41. What is the passage mainly about? A. The benefits of bacteria. B. The roles of bacteria in food. C. The ways to fight against bacteria. D. The effects of bacteria on human health. 【答案】38. C 39. B 40. D 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了人们对细菌的固有印象，纠正了细菌大多有害的误区，重点介绍了细菌在自然界、人类生活、身体健康、环境治理等多方面的益处与重要作用。 【38题详解】 第二段指出细菌的作用：“Bacteria perform many useful jobs almost everywhere on Earth.”以及后文介绍细菌助力消化、循环营养、吸收温室气体、助力人类生产生活等内容，说明细菌有许多不同的用途与功能。 【39题详解】 第二段列举了多处事例：肠胃细菌帮助消化、土壤细菌分解物质循环营养、海洋细菌吸收温室气体，由此可知第二段是通过举例子的方式展开论述。 【40题详解】 第三段说明细菌对免疫系统的作用：“Some bacteria can make the immune system work better and help the body resist diseases.”，结合语境可知细菌能优化免疫系统，帮助身体抵御、预防疾病，可推断resist意为“预防、抵御”。 【41题详解】 通读全文可知，文章打破人们对细菌有害的刻板印象，通篇围绕细菌在自然、生活、健康、环保等方面的好处展开，主要介绍了细菌的益处。 D ① Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care. While others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called striatum (纹状体). Research also shows that kindness improves people’s mood. But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways. ② Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smiling in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is especially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good, so why not set off that chain (链条) of good feelings to people around? ③ Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world. ④ In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone’s spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than providing them. ⑤ The story doesn’t end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you’re in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn’t it? 42. The writer leads in the topic by ________. A. telling a story B. asking questions C. giving examples D. making a survey 43. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”. A. The situation B. The family C. A kind act D. That chain. 44. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Kindness can activate any area of our body. B. Being kind can make yourself have a good feeling. C. It’s necessary to give others some gifts if you want to make friends with them. D. Being kind means you should make others feel happy. 45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】42. B 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文探究善良受人喜爱的原因，阐述行善既能愉悦他人、增进人际往来，还能带动身边人向善，同时好心情也会让人更友善，形成双向良性循环。 【42题详解】 第一段“But can you explain why? But why and how does it happen?”，作者以提问的方式引出全文话题。 【43题详解】 第二段 “A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good”，此处It指代前文提到的A kind act。 【44题详解】 第二段 “It can also make ourselves feel good”，说明友善的行为也能让我们自身拥有好心情 【45题详解】 第①段：引入话题，提出问题，并概括说明善良的几种作用方式（引出下文）；第②③④段：分别具体阐述善良带来好处的三种不同方式；第⑤段：总结升华，指出善良与好心情之间的双向关系，呼应开头。因此文章结构为①/②③④/⑤。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共60分) 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） 46.

High-speed rail is considered to be one of the China’s “four great new ________ (invent)”. 【答案】inventions 【解析】 【详解】句意：高铁被认为是中国的“新四大发明”之一。根据“four great new ...”可知此处用可数名词复数，invent的名词形式invention，意为“发明”，其复数形式为inventions。故填inventions。 48. —Would you like green tea or black tea? —Thanks a lot. _________ (两者之一) will be OK. 【答案】Either 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你想要绿茶还是红茶？ ———非常感谢。任何一个都可以。根据“Would you like green tea or black tea?”及中文可知，此空填either“两者之一”，句首首字母大写。故填Either。 49.

When I was at primary school, my geography teacher told me the sun ________ (rise) in the east. 【答案】rises 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我上小学时，我的地理老师告诉我太阳从东方升起。分析句子可知，此处讲述客观真理，应用一般现在时，主语“the sun”为第三人称单数，谓语动词用三单式。故填rises。 52. —Why does your house look ________ (tidy)? —Because I had a party with my friends just now. 【答案】untidy 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为什么你的房子看起来不整洁？ ——因为我刚才和我的朋友们开了个派对。根据“I had a party with my friends just now”可知刚才我和朋友开了个派对，因此房间不整洁，untidy“不整洁的”，形容词。故填untidy。 53. The new dictionary is not mine. It’s someone ________（另外，其他）. 【答案】else’s 【解析】 【详解】句意：这本新词典不是我的。这是别人的。另外，其他：else，此处修饰不定代词“someone”，字典是别人的，因此用else的所有格形式“else’s”。故填else’s。 54.

More than one person ________ (regret) missing the chance to join in the PE simulation exam yesterday. 【答案】regretted 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天，不止一个人后悔错过了参加体育模拟考试的机会。句中的时间状语“yesterday”表明句子要用一般过去时，“regret”变过去式时要双写末尾的辅音字母再加 -ed，故填regretted。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分） The Merchant of Venice is the important early works of Shakespeare, which is a comedy with a great satire. It’s about to make in 1596-1597. In the play Shakespeare not only speaks highly of love and friendship, but also mirrors the social background of that time. Antonio had a friend named Bassanio who spent money without limitation. As a result, he ran out of his property in a short time. Bassanio fell in love with Portia, but he was required to pay a large amount of money. So he went to Antonio for help. Antonio is also a wealthy Venetian merchant but he didn’t have so much cash. Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help. Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him, however, he agreed to lend him the money on condition that Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh if he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract (契约). With the money Antonio had borrowed from Shylock, Bassanio married Portia, but unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal. To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less. At the same time, he was not allowed to let any of Antonio’s blood drop. The wise judge announced that according to the law if anyone tried to kill a citizen of Venice, everything he owned should be taken away from him. Shylock said that he would rather die if all his money and goods were taken away. Finally, Antonio gave up his part of Shylock’s money on condition that Shylock should leave the money to his own daughter and her husband upon his death. The cruel moneylender had to agree. ——Taken from The Merchant of Venice 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（每题答案不超过8个词） 56. What does Shakespeare speak highly of in the play? ________________________________ 57.

As a result, he ran out of his property in a short time.”可知，Bassanio花钱没有限制，结果，他的财产在短时间内用完了。故填Because he spent money without limitation. 【58题详解】 根据第二段中的“Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help. Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him”可知，Shylock被Antonio骂为残忍贪婪，Shylock恨Antonio，所以划线部分指代的是“Antonio”。故填Antonio. 【59题详解】 根据最后一段中的“To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer.”可知，为了救Antonio的命，Portia假装是一名著名的律师。故填By pretending to be a famous lawyer. 【60题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：Portia impresses me most because she’s clever/wise/careful. 六、缺词填空（共10小题，每小题l分，计l0分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词） For three days, Dr Diarra Boubacar didn’t get a single patient.

If you’re interested in one of the following groups and want to do some volunteer work, you can join us. Teaching Group You need to be at least 16, a high school student, and be good at all of your subjects. Your main job is to teach those whose parents work far away in a big city. Just work on weekends. Nursing Group You must be above 15 and your main job is to look after the old in the old people’s home on weekends. Caring Group You mainly help the patients’ children in the hospital. As long as you’re free, you can do the volunteer work at any time. The only requirement is that you must be above 14． Cleaning Group If you’re over 13, you can do it. Your main job is to do the cleaning in the history museum. You can volunteer there from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm from Tuesday to Sunday. 31. What does Bill need to do if he joins the Teaching Group? A. Teach the left-behind children. B. Look after the children. C. Care for the old people. D. Clean the park. 32. When might John volunteer if he is in the Nursing Group? A. On Tuesday. B. On Friday. C. On Saturday. D. On Monday. 33. What can we learn from the text? A. Fifteen-year-old David can volunteer in the Teaching Group. B. Volunteers in the Nursing Group need to do the cleaning. C. Volunteers in the Caring Group mainly work in the school. D. You can volunteer 7.5 hours a day in the Cleaning Group. B You learned how to speak and understand speech during your first few years of life. No one taught you how to do this. Learning to read and write took a lot more effort. Reading doesn’t come naturally to people, but most of us have learned how. Literacy (读写能力) makes it possible to travel in a world filled with books, websites, text messages, road signs, and more. But the world of information is changing. Why send a long letter or text when you can share photos or videos instead? Why learn from a book when you can watch an instructional video or practice a skill in virtual reality (虚拟现实)? Why read magazines when you can listen to podcasts (播客)? Could a growing number of people take part in today’s world without reading or writing at all? Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices (设备) now talk to us. Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, order goods, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions (互动) aren’t perfect. The software still makes silly mistakes. But it’s getting better and better. It’s possible to imagine we’ll communicate with our devices and each other is spoken in the future. But reading and writing are powerful tools. For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster or audiobook teller speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can look through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they are reading. Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. In her book Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain, Maryanne Wolf writes that with the invention of reading, human beings “rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn developed the ways we were able to think, which changed the intellectual evolution (进化) of humans.” Would you really choose to give up that progress? What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading and writing, or will technology make reading no longer needed? 34. What can we learn from Para. 1? A. Reading and writing are natural skills. B. It is easy to learn to read and write. C. Literacy is very important in daily lives. D. Most people learn reading by themselves. 35. Why does the writer mention the three questions in Para. 2? A. To offer a new way to improve reading and writing skills. B. To ask readers to offer their answers to these questions. C. To show the writer has many questions about the topic. D. To show the change in the ways of getting information . 36. Which of the following supports the statement “reading and writing are powerful tools”? ①Most people read faster than they speak. ②People stay more interested when they read. ③Learning to read improves the way we think. ④People can understand texts better when reading. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 37. Which of the following might the writer agree with? A. Reading and writing will be of no use soon. B. People shouldn’t give up reading and writing. C. Technology will rearrange human’s brain. D. Virtual reality will take the place of books. C When you read the word “bacteria (细菌)”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe diseases. That would be fair—some bacteria can make people ill. But most bacteria are not harmful. Bacteria perform many useful jobs almost everywhere on Earth. For example, the bacteria that live in our stomachs may help us digest food. Bacteria in soil help break down dead plant and animal matter to recycle nutrients (营养物质). Bacteria in the ocean take in climate-warming greenhouse gases. Humans have long used the power of bacteria for many purposes. They add bacteria to cheeses and breads to improve taste. Some bacteria can make the immune system (免疫系统) work better and help the body resist diseases. Certain bacteria could also clean up pollution, store energy and build super strong materials. Because we need certain types of bacteria in our bodies to stay healthy, some food producers add some of them to yogurt and other dairy products. If you ever see food packaging labeled (标有) “living culture”, that is telling us the food has live bacteria inside. So, please continue washing your hands to keep them free of harmful bacteria. But remember that many of the world’s bacteria are friends, not enemies. 38. What do we know about bacteria? A. They mainly live in the ocean. B. Most of them are harmful to people. C.

But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care. While others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called striatum (纹状体). Research also shows that kindness improves people’s mood. But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways. ② Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smiling in a situation, people around may be smiling, too. This is especially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good, so why not set off that chain (链条) of good feelings to people around? ③ Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world. ④ In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone’s spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you’re getting cakes a lot more days than providing them. ⑤ The story doesn’t end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you’re in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn’t it? 42. The writer leads in the topic by ________. A. telling a story B. asking questions C. giving examples D. making a survey 43. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”. A. The situation B. The family C. A kind act D. That chain. 44. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Kindness can activate any area of our body. B. Being kind can make yourself have a good feeling. C. It’s necessary to give others some gifts if you want to make friends with them. D. Being kind means you should make others feel happy. 45.

Having been scolded (责备) by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him, however, he agreed to lend him the money on condition that Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh if he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract (契约). With the money Antonio had borrowed from Shylock, Bassanio married Portia, but unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal. To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less. At the same time, he was not allowed to let any of Antonio’s blood drop. The wise judge announced that according to the law if anyone tried to kill a citizen of Venice, everything he owned should be taken away from him. Shylock said that he would rather die if all his money and goods were taken away.
