The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: ● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. ● A total of up to six points can be earned each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 1. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. MTR Station. D. LWS Building. 2. What are participants required to do to score? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Choose a pre-set route. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Complete a round trip. 3. How many points do you get daily by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍学校推出“Walk for Green”校园步行环保活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building.(从地铁站出发，“绿色行走”活动为同学们推荐了校园内的多条步行路线，其中有一条路线会经过YIA大楼、LSK大楼和LWS大楼)”可知，“绿色行走”活动从地铁站开始。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Notes部分“● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points.(● 步行者必须在一小时内完成一次行程（可以是向上走或者向下走），才能获得积分)”可知，参与者要选择预先设定好的路线。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Walking Journey Points图表内容可，“YIA Building ↔ LSK Building”对应2分，“LSK Building ↔ LWS Building”对应1分，从YIA Building步行至LWS Building需经过LSK Building，总积分为 2+1=3 分。 B Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 4. How does the author lead into the topic? A. By showing his desire to keep animals. B. By recommending his childhood reads. C. By sharing his own experience with nature. D. By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 5. What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Awakened. B. Expressed. C. Weakened. D. Kept. 6. What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A. A time killer. B. A character builder. C. A social connector. D. An emotional comforter. 7. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. What pains us shapes us. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest starts with practice. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述个人的经历，论述了在人生的早期阶段，在农村长大给成长带来的好处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart—The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.(在农村社区长大，我一直热爱乡村、动物和大自然。我小时候读的书里经常有动物的身影——《怕黑的猫头鹰》、《夏洛的网》。)”可知，该段介绍了作者在农村成长的经历带来的影响，由此可知，本文是通过介绍个人经历引入话题的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.(当孩子们参观学校时，看到我们家庭农场里动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频，他们的脸上都露出了喜悦的表情。)”可知，孩子们看到农场里的动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频时，他们都会感到开心，结合划线单词所在的句子“If a spark of interest can be…early, it can only be a good thing going forward.(如果兴趣的火花能够及早被……，那么它在将来只会是一件好事。)”可推知，兴趣的火花被尽早“点燃”，在将来会是一件好事，划线单词的意思应与A项“Awakened点燃”意义相近。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题，根据倒数第二段中的“Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork—both fantastic life skills.(它建立了责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础。我们一家人经常在农场一起工作，这建立了强烈的职业道德和团队意识——这两种都是很棒的生活技能。)”可知，早期与农场接触可以让孩子建立责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础，还可以形成强烈的职业道德和团队意识这样的生活技能，由此可知，早期与农场的接触可以培养儿童的性格和能力。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段“I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love.(我坚信你不知道你会爱上什么，除非你尝试过。我的希望是，如果来自非农村背景的孩子们能体验一下农场的生活，那么他们可能会发现自己喜欢的东西。)”可知，作者认为只有你尝试过才会爱上，同时，作者希望没有农村成长背景的孩子来体验一下农场生活会发现自己喜欢的东西，由此可知，作者赞成的观点是兴趣源于实践。故选D项。 C It’s easy to keep your aging brain as quick as it was in college. Use a website full of brain games or download the right apps, and within 20 minutes you’ll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the decline of your mental functions. At least that’s what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true? Concrete proof about the benefits of brain games is hard to come by, experts say, when it comes to measurably improving aspects of mental fitness, like having a good memory. “People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better, but there’s just no solid evidence,” says Randall W. Engle, a primary investigator at the Attention & Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. That’s not to say brain games are without benefits. Experts say these kinds of mental exercises can change your brain. The brain changes with just about everything you do, including mental training exercises. But numerous studies have shown that brain games lack what researchers call “transfer”. In other words, repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging won’t necessarily come to a stop. “It’s like, you walk through fresh snow, and you leave a trace. If you walk the same route again, the trace gets deeper and deeper,” says Ursula Staudinger, director of the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University. The fact that structural changes occur does not imply that in general this brain has become more capable. It has become more capable of doing exactly the tasks it was practicing. 8. What does the writer intend to do in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new theory. B. To promote a new app. C. To question an idea. D. To correct a mistake. 9. What does Engle think of the functions of brain games? A. Their effects still need proving. B. They have little practical effects. C. They really make some difference. D. They are bound to benefit brain health. 10. The underlined word in paragraph 3 most probably refers to “the ability to ________”. A. stop the brain aging B. keep the brain functioning C. speed up the brain aging D. improve gaming skills 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Games Prevent Brain from Turning Slow B. How to Slow the Decline of Brain Functions C. Stop Brain aging? Games’ Roles Need Proving D. Brain Games A Boost to Your Mental Fitness 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过“提出宣传观点→引用专家质疑→分析效果局限性”的结构，揭示脑力游戏的实际作用尚未被科学证实，呼吁理性看待其宣称的“抗脑衰老”功效。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At least that’s what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true?(至少在这个蓬勃发展的行业背后的公司是这么希望你相信的。但事实果真如此吗？)”可推知，作者对其真实性表示怀疑。故第一段的作用是质疑一个说法。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better, but there’s just no solid evidence,” says Randall W. Engle, a primary investigator at the Attention & Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology.(“人们确实非常愿意相信自己能够做到这样的事情，从而让自己的大脑变得更聪明，但目前并没有确凿的证据支持这一说法。”佐治亚理工学院注意力与工作记忆实验室的首席研究员兰德尔·W·恩格尔如是说道)”可知，Engle认为脑力游戏的作用还有待证明。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“In other words, repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging won’t necessarily come to a stop.(换句话说，反复玩同一款游戏能让你掌握游戏的玩法并提高游戏水平，但你的大脑衰老过程并不会因此停止)”可知，研究都表明脑力游戏不能使大脑停止老化。故划线词意思是“停止大脑老化”。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s easy to keep your aging brain as quick as it was in college. Use a website full of brain games or download the right apps, and within 20 minutes you’ll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the decline of your mental functions. At least that’s what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true?(要让日渐衰老的大脑保持像在大学时代那样敏捷并非难事。只需使用一个充满益智游戏的网站，或者下载合适的应用程序，短短 20 分钟内，你就能为增强记忆力、减缓大脑机能衰退做出自己的贡献。至少那些推动这一行业蓬勃发展的公司是这么想的。但这究竟是真的吗？)”以及本文介绍了能提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能衰退的脑力游戏，但是研究表明，这些游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧掌握的能力，并不能真正阻止大脑老化；游戏的作用还有待证明。由此可知，C项“阻止大脑老化？游戏的作用有待验证”适合作为本文的标题。故选C。 D With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process. Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. However, a team led by Valantinas from Brown University analyzed data from Mars missions and suggested ferrihydrite (水铁矿) which forms quickly in cool water may be responsible for the redness rather than hematite. The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples. The study wasn’t focused on determining when exactly the substance formed. However, since ferrihydrite forms in cool water, it’s possible that it was created about 3 billion years ago, as opposed to when the planet was warmer and wetter millions of years before. “This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation,” Valantinas said. “The timing matches with a period when Mars was changing from its earlier, wetter state to its current desert environment.” Now researchers are waiting for the samples on Mars to be brought back to earth. “Once we get these samples into the lab, we’ll be able to measure how much ferrihydrite the dust contains, and what this means for our understanding of the history of water,” said Valantinas. 12. What’s the popular theory? A. Mars is a red planet. B. Hematite accounts for Mars’red color. C. Water existed on Mars. D. Ferrihydrite was formed without water. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the previous idea? A. By observing the activities on Mars. B. By analyzing dust collected from Mars. C. By comparing hematite and ferrihydrite. D. By indicating the existence of ferrihydrite. 14. What makes the formation of ferrihydrite possible on Mars? A. High pressure. B. Volcanic eruption. C. The lack of ice. D. The dry environment. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Red Planet Without Water B. Why Is Mars Red? C. Volcanoes Shaped Mars’ Surface D. What Is Mars’ True Color? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对火星呈现红色的原因的新发现，推翻了之前认为赤铁矿导致火星变红的流行理论，提出水铁矿可能是火星呈现红色的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. (此前对火星上物质的分析仅基于航天器的观测，没有发现任何水的证据，这使得研究人员认为氧化铁一定是赤铁矿，赤铁矿通常是在数十亿年的干燥环境中形成的)”可知，之前的分析认为火星上的氧化铁是赤铁矿，赤铁矿通常在干燥的环境中形成，由此可知，流行的理论是赤铁矿导致了火星的红色。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples. (这项新研究首次将实验室方法与观测数据相结合，提供了证据。科学家们在实验室中重现了火星尘埃。研究小组使用了类似于轨道飞行器所采用的技术来分析尘埃。然后，科学家们将实验室数据与航天器数据进行了比较。研究表明，即使是火星上尘埃最多的地方也有富含水物质的证据，与实验室样本相比，水铁矿的存在与火星上的尘埃最为匹配，而不是赤铁矿)”可知，第三段中的实验表明火星上存在水铁矿，这与之前认为火星上只有赤铁矿的观念不同，由此可知，第三段中的实验通过表明水铁矿的存在来挑战了先前的观点。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation. (这是火星上火山活动的时期，可能导致了冰融化事件，为水铁矿的形成提供了有利条件)”可知，火星上的火山活动可能导致了冰融化事件，为水铁矿的形成提供了有利条件，由此可知，火山爆发使火星上水铁矿的形成成为可能。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process. (火星因其红色而被称为红色星球。现在，科学家们可能已经发现了这种红色的潜在来源，在此过程中推翻了一个流行的理论)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家对火星呈现红色的原因的新发现，推翻了之前认为赤铁矿导致火星变红的流行理论，提出水铁矿可能是火星呈现红色的原因，由此可知，B项“火星为什么是红色的?”能够概括文章主要内容，适合作为标题。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。 Life! It’s a lot of fun but it can also be challenging. ____16____ Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. That’s just the way it is . But sometimes the problems that trouble us are the ones that we create in our own minds so maybe it’s time to stop blaming others, bad luck, or whatever, and look to ourselves. Here are a few simple tips to change the way we live for the better. “My life’s a mess. I just wish I could disappear”; “Why do these things always happen to me?” Thoughts like these help no one. Overdramatising (过分夸大) a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help. ____17____ So your teacher didn’t give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that’s a shame. ____18____ Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role. Similarly, when your football team loses, they don’t lose just to upset you. Things go wrong for a million and one different reasons. It’s not all about you. No one gets it right all of the time, and that includes you! So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should. ____19____ If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself. ____20____ And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. It’s time to take control of your life. A. So keep these tips in mind. B. Things don’t always go our way. C. Things are never as bad as they seem. D. Open your mind to other possibilities. E. If others let you down, be kind to them. F. There’s nothing you can do to change the past. G. But it doesn’t mean your teacher doesn’t like you. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。生活很有趣，但也充满了挑战，生活并不总是按照我们的意愿发展，但有时困扰我们的问题是我们自己造成的，所以也许是时候停止责怪他人、运气不好或其他什么，而应该审视自己了。文章主要介绍了一些可以帮助我们改善生活方式的简单技巧。 【16题详解】 上文“Life! It’s a lot of fun but it can also be challenging.(生活！这很有趣，但也很有挑战性。)”指出生活很有趣但也有挑战性，下文“Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. (生活可能会让我们失望，有时可能无法实现我们的期望。)”指出生活可能会让我们失望，由此可知，生活并不是像按我们的意愿发展。B项“事情并不总是按我们的意愿发展。”承上启下，故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“Overdramatising (过分夸大) a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help(过度夸大情况只会让情况变得更糟。试着正确看待事情，后退一步，再考虑一下，或者向朋友寻求帮助)”指出我们不要过度夸大情况，要正确看待事情，空处承接上文，指出为什么这么做，C项“事情从来没有看起来那么糟糕。”符合，故选C。 【18题详解】 上文“So your teacher didn’t give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that’s a shame.(所以你的老师没有给你在学校戏剧中扮演你真正想要的角色。嗯，这太可惜了。)”指出假设你的老师没有给你在学校戏剧中扮演你真正想要的角色，下文“Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role.(也许还有其他更适合这个角色的学生。)”解释了没给给你角色的原因——有更适合这个角色的学生，这说明老师没有给你这个角色并不意味着你的老师不喜欢你。G项“但这并不意味着你的老师不喜欢你。”符合，故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should.(所以不要指望生活总是按照你想象的方式发展。)”指出不要指望生活总是按照你想象的方式发展，下文“If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself.(如果你没有达到自己的期望，请善待自己。)”具体举例子，如果生活没有按照你想象的方式发展，我们该如何做，空处也应是具体例子，E项“如果别人让你失望，善待他们。”符合，和下文是并列关系，故选E。 【20题详解】 下文“And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. (下次当生活没有完全按照你想要的方式发展时，尝试使用一两个。)”指出当生活没有完全按照你想要的方式发展时，尝试使用一两个上文提到的建议，根据其中的use one or two可知，空处应该是指出“这些建议”，A项“所以请记住这些建议。”符合，呼吁人们使用这些建议，总结前文内容。故选A。 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。 In a world filled with text messages and emails, the art of writing a handwritten note is becoming a forgotten skill. ____21____, there’s something truly special about putting pen to paper.

Eight-year-old Alice began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car’s cool air. “The aquarium (水族馆) won’t be crowded, I bet, and people are going to notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears coming from behind her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst,” she thought to herself. Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a corner of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with a a prosthetic tail instead of a real tail?” she asked an aquarium staff member. He nodded and replied, “Yes, that’s Betty. She’s a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her?” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Alice caught her breath. “She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail to help her swim like a dolphin’s supposed to swim,” the staff member continued. “Every day, Betty shows us anything is possible if we believe.” Alice felt her heart was touched. She waved at Betty. Looking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鰭), came to her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right into my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Alice: We’re the same. Back home, all Alice talked about was Betty. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater. Unfortunately, another blow hit Alice. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Alice suffered the pain in her leg. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news to them that she would need some surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell (地狱) came back to her. She started fearing surgery again and refused to go to hospital for treatment. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “How can I persuade Alice to undergo the surgery?” Alice’s mom said to herself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged by Betty, Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “How can I persuade Alice to undergo the surgery?” Alice’s mom said to herself. Then she had an idea and she decided to take Alice back to Clearwater. On arriving at Clearwater, Alice couldn’t wait to see Betty, the lovely dolphin that comforted her and boosted her mood. As Alice’s mother pushed the wheelchair to Betty, she raised her flippers, came to her and lifted her head. Alice couldn’t hold back her excitement. Looking at the girl, Betty seemed to say, “Go and have the operation.” Alice absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind. Encouraged by Betty, Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to. Finally came the day when Alice was in the hospital again. Though feeling nervous and afraid of the pain the surgery might bring, Alice faced it bravely. The operation was a success. Her mother took her to Clearwater the day when she was discharged from hospital. Inspired by Betty’s swimming like a normal dolphin, Alice practiced hard to walk. Her confidence has been improved as she gradually recovers. She has no idea what future holds for her but she will do anything to have a better look at this wonderful world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了爱丽丝在水族馆看到一只和自己一样有残疾的海豚贝蒂，不幸的是，爱丽丝在家摔倒了，她的腿需要做手术。最后妈妈想到了让海豚来安慰爱丽丝，从而让爱丽丝接受了手术。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我怎样才能说服爱丽丝做手术呢？’爱丽丝的妈妈自言自语道”可知，第一段可描写妈妈让海豚来安慰爱丽丝，爱丽丝也明白了海豚的关心。 ②由第二段首句内容“在贝蒂的鼓励下，爱丽丝改变了主意，按照妈妈和医生的建议去做了”可知，第二段可描写爱丽丝手术的进展以及爱丽丝恢复对未来的信心。 2.续写线索：妈妈想到办法——通过海豚安慰爱丽丝——接受手术——手术成功——获得信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①恢复：recover/get better ②决心做：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do ③表达：convey/express 情绪类 ①体贴的：caring/thoughtful ②乐观的：optimistic/positive 【点睛】[高分句型1] Alice absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind.

The beauties of our campus deserve to be better explored and can best be explored on foot. Walking is also a greener and healthier alternative to using vehicles. To encourage more students and staff members to walk around the campus, our school has launched a new “Walk for Green” initiative. Programme Setting out from the MTR Station, “Walk for Green” recommends various walking routes on campus, one of which covers the YIA Building, LSK Building and LWS Building. Card readers for different walking routes have been installed (安装) to record the number of points completed by “Walk for Green” participants. Participants who collect 60 points within 30 days will be awarded the title “Green Walker”. Participation To participate, students and staff members would choose a marked route, and tap their school cards at the card readers installed at both the start and end points(and also at an intermediate card reader). Name, student/staff ID, department/unit, date, time and card readers tapped will be recorded. Walking Journey Points Important Notes: ● Walkers must complete one trip (either upwards or downwards) within one hour to score points. ● A total of up to six points can be earned each day. Every time you take a walk on campus, you are helping to preserve our environment and also keeping yourself healthy. Let’s start from today! 1. Where does “Walk for Green” start? A. YIA Building. B. LSK Building. C. MTR Station. D. LWS Building. 2. What are participants required to do to score? A. Collect at least 6 points. B. Choose a pre-set route. C. Maintain a fixed speed. D. Complete a round trip. 3. How many points do you get daily by walking from YIA Building to LWS Building? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 6. B Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web. Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets. It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own. Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills. I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love. 4. How does the author lead into the topic? A. By showing his desire to keep animals. B. By recommending his childhood reads. C. By sharing his own experience with nature. D. By comparing his farm life with his children’s. 5. What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Awakened. B. Expressed. C. Weakened. D. Kept. 6. What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth? A. A time killer. B. A character builder. C. A social connector. D. An emotional comforter. 7. Which statement does the author probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. What pains us shapes us. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Interest starts with practice. C It’s easy to keep your aging brain as quick as it was in college. Use a website full of brain games or download the right apps, and within 20 minutes you’ll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the decline of your mental functions. At least that’s what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true? Concrete proof about the benefits of brain games is hard to come by, experts say, when it comes to measurably improving aspects of mental fitness, like having a good memory. “People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better, but there’s just no solid evidence,” says Randall W. Engle, a primary investigator at the Attention & Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. That’s not to say brain games are without benefits. Experts say these kinds of mental exercises can change your brain. The brain changes with just about everything you do, including mental training exercises. But numerous studies have shown that brain games lack what researchers call “transfer”. In other words, repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging won’t necessarily come to a stop. “It’s like, you walk through fresh snow, and you leave a trace. If you walk the same route again, the trace gets deeper and deeper,” says Ursula Staudinger, director of the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University. The fact that structural changes occur does not imply that in general this brain has become more capable. It has become more capable of doing exactly the tasks it was practicing. 8. What does the writer intend to do in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new theory. B. To promote a new app. C. To question an idea. D. To correct a mistake. 9. What does Engle think of the functions of brain games? A. Their effects still need proving. B. They have little practical effects. C. They really make some difference. D. They are bound to benefit brain health. 10. The underlined word in paragraph 3 most probably refers to “the ability to ________”. A. stop the brain aging B. keep the brain functioning C. speed up the brain aging D. improve gaming skills 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Games Prevent Brain from Turning Slow B. How to Slow the Decline of Brain Functions C. Stop Brain aging? Games’ Roles Need Proving D. Brain Games A Boost to Your Mental Fitness D With its red color, Mars has long been called the red planet. Now, scientists may have discovered the potential source of that red color, overturning a popular theory in the process. Previous analyses of the substances on Mars, based only on observations by spacecraft, didn’t discover any evidence of water, which led researchers to believe that the iron oxide must be hematite (赤铁矿) which typically forms in a dry environment over billions of years. However, a team led by Valantinas from Brown University analyzed data from Mars missions and suggested ferrihydrite (水铁矿) which forms quickly in cool water may be responsible for the redness rather than hematite. The new study has combined lab methods with observational data for the first time to offer evidence. The scientists recreated Martian dust in a laboratory. The team analyzed the dust using techniques similar to those employed by orbiters. Then, the scientists compared the lab data with spacecraft data. It is suggested that even the dustiest parts of Mars hold evidence of water-rich substances, and the presence of ferrihydrite is the best match for dust on Mars, rather than hematite, when compared with the lab samples. The study wasn’t focused on determining when exactly the substance formed. However, since ferrihydrite forms in cool water, it’s possible that it was created about 3 billion years ago, as opposed to when the planet was warmer and wetter millions of years before. “This was a time of volcanic activity on Mars that likely caused ice-melting events, providing conditions favorable for ferrihydrite formation,” Valantinas said. “The timing matches with a period when Mars was changing from its earlier, wetter state to its current desert environment.” Now researchers are waiting for the samples on Mars to be brought back to earth. “Once we get these samples into the lab, we’ll be able to measure how much ferrihydrite the dust contains, and what this means for our understanding of the history of water,” said Valantinas. 12. What’s the popular theory? A. Mars is a red planet. B. Hematite accounts for Mars’red color. C. Water existed on Mars. D. Ferrihydrite was formed without water. 13. How does the experiment in paragraph 3 challenge the previous idea? A. By observing the activities on Mars. B. By analyzing dust collected from Mars. C. By comparing hematite and ferrihydrite. D. By indicating the existence of ferrihydrite. 14. What makes the formation of ferrihydrite possible on Mars? A. High pressure. B. Volcanic eruption. C. The lack of ice. D. The dry environment. 15.

It’s a lot of fun but it can also be challenging. ____16____ Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. That’s just the way it is . But sometimes the problems that trouble us are the ones that we create in our own minds so maybe it’s time to stop blaming others, bad luck, or whatever, and look to ourselves. Here are a few simple tips to change the way we live for the better. “My life’s a mess. I just wish I could disappear”; “Why do these things always happen to me?” Thoughts like these help no one. Overdramatising (过分夸大) a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help. ____17____ So your teacher didn’t give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that’s a shame. ____18____ Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role. Similarly, when your football team loses, they don’t lose just to upset you. Things go wrong for a million and one different reasons. It’s not all about you. No one gets it right all of the time, and that includes you! So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should. ____19____ If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself. ____20____ And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. It’s time to take control of your life. A. So keep these tips in mind. B. Things don’t always go our way. C. Things are never as bad as they seem. D. Open your mind to other possibilities. E. If others let you down, be kind to them. F. There’s nothing you can do to change the past. G. But it doesn’t mean your teacher doesn’t like you. 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。 In a world filled with text messages and emails, the art of writing a handwritten note is becoming a forgotten skill. ____21____, there’s something truly special about putting pen to paper.

Eight-year-old Alice began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car’s cool air. “The aquarium (水族馆) won’t be crowded, I bet, and people are going to notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears coming from behind her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst,” she thought to herself. Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a corner of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with a a prosthetic tail instead of a real tail?” she asked an aquarium staff member. He nodded and replied, “Yes, that’s Betty. She’s a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her?” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Alice caught her breath. “She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail to help her swim like a dolphin’s supposed to swim,” the staff member continued. “Every day, Betty shows us anything is possible if we believe.” Alice felt her heart was touched. She waved at Betty. Looking at Alice, Betty raised her flippers(鰭), came to her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right into my arms,” Alice said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Alice: We’re the same. Back home, all Alice talked about was Betty. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater. Unfortunately, another blow hit Alice. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Alice suffered the pain in her leg. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news to them that she would need some surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell (地狱) came back to her. She started fearing surgery again and refused to go to hospital for treatment. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “How can I persuade Alice to undergo the surgery?” Alice’s mom said to herself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged by Betty, Alice changed her mind and did what her mother and doctor had told her to. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
