You’ve asked me why I came to work here. Well, there’s a funny story actually. You see, this job wasn’t actually the job that I’d applied for. I had been offered the post of a lecturer in a university in Kuala Lumpur. I was very excited, so I’d made all sorts of plans. I’d done all my boring medical checks. I had bought the guide books and of course I had given all my coats away, as I was going to be there for two years. What did one need winter coats for? My bags were practically packed. But ... well, their business failed and they cut back on their budget and there was no job. That was a month before I was due to leave. So there I was. I practically didn’t have a home to live in. So at that moment I was mad. I was looking in the newspapers to find another job. And it was a terrible time of year to be a job seeker, believe me, and then I couldn’t believe it. I mean, suddenly here was this job in Madrid. It was a total change of plan because actually it does get very cold in Madrid in the winter. So of course I bought new winter clothes and there I was. But I’m glad it worked out like that really because I love Madrid and I’ve been there for three years now, and I may stay for longer, you know. 二、阅读理解：本大题共15小题, 每小题2.5分, 共37.5分。 A Best royal (王室的) palaces in Europe you can visit There are some royal palaces in Europe that often open their doors to the public. Drottningholm Palace, Sweden This breathtaking palace in Drottningholm is not only a residence of the Swedish royal family, but it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its impressively preserved castle and theatre. The palace and park are open to the public year-round. Royal Palace, Oslo, Norway The official royal residence for the Norwegian ovals has neoclassical architecture and landscaped gardens with ponds and eye-catching statues. During the summer months the palace opens to the public on guided tours, which include beautiful staterooms (会客厅), the Bird Room, Mirror Hall, Small Ceremonial Hall and Banqueting Hall. Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain While the Royal Palace of Madrid is officially the royal residence, nowadays the Spanish royals choose to live in the Zarzuela Palace instead, with the Madrid Palace used mainly for state ceremonies. There are over 3,000 rooms in this breathtaking palace, making it one of the largest in the world. Highlights include the royal kitchens and the painting gallery, while the Changing of the Guard ceremony never fails to be a hit with tourists. Palace of Versailles, France If you want to visit a palace that’s luxurious (豪华的), then the Palace of Versailles needs to be on your list. France hasn’t had a royal family since the French Revolution in 1789, but this palace offers a glimpse (短暂的感受) into how the former royals lived, as well as serving as a museum which preserves some of the finest works by the most gifted painters, sculptors and craftsmen of the time. 21.

Enjoy some excellent artworks. C. Communicate with gifted painters. D. Learn the history of French Revolution. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章介绍了几处值得参观的欧洲皇家宫殿。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Royal Palace, Oslo, Norway中关键句“During the summer months the palace opens to the public on guided tours, which include beautiful staterooms, the Bird Room, Mirror Hall, Small Ceremonial Hall and Banqueting Hall.(在夏季的几个月里，宫殿向公众开放导游，其中包括美丽的特等房间、鸟室、镜厅、小仪式厅和宴会厅)”可知，奥斯陆皇家宫殿在夏季向公众开放，七月是夏季。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain中关键句“While the Royal Palace of Madrid is officially the royal residence, nowadays the Spanish royals choose to live in the Zarzuela Palace instead, with the Madrid Palace used mainly for state ceremonies.(虽然马德里皇宫是官方的皇家住所，但现在西班牙皇室选择住在Zarzuela宫，马德里宫主要用于国家仪式)”可知，如果游客想要看国家仪式，应该去马德里皇宫。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Palace of Versailles, France中关键句“France hasn’t had a royal family since the French Revolution in 1789, but this palace offers a glimpse into how the former royals lived, as well as serving as a museum which preserves some of the finest works by the most gifted painters, sculptors and craftsmen of the time.(自1789年法国大革命以来，法国就没有王室了，但这座宫殿可以让人们一窥前王室成员的生活，同时它也是一座博物馆，保存着当时最有天赋的画家、雕塑家和工匠的一些最好的作品)”可知，在凡尔赛宫，游客可以欣赏一些优秀的艺术品。故选B项。 B In 2019, Sarah Wildman’s daughter, Orli, was only 10 years old when doctors found that she had hepatoblastoma, a serious illness. The news changed the family’s life right away. As a writer for a magazine, Wildman decided to document her daughter’s long and difficult journey, hoping to show others what it really meant to live with the disease. In her articles, Wildman described the pain Orli went through during her treatment. Wildman believed she understood pain, but seeing her child suffer made her realize how deep and heavy pain could be. It was something she had never truly known before. However, the story was not only about illness and pain. More importantly, it was about Orli’s strong spirit and love for life. Despite the great challenges brought on by her condition, Orli chose to face them with a smile and tried to enjoy life in her unique way. “Hope is a driving force,” Wildman said. “It is hope that pushes us to seek out new treatments, to fight for more days, more months, maybe even years.” Throughout countless rounds of treatment and surgery (手术), Orli never let go of her love for life. She repeatedly reminded those around her that every single day was worth living to the fullest. In the hospital, Orli refused to let life become dull. She played music, danced in the hallways, and invited nurses to join in the fun. She even chose her favorite songs before surgery, turning scary moments into something warm and familiar. Orli never allowed herself to be seen only as a patient. Through her energy, joy, and hope, Orli touched the lives of everyone around her, showing the world that even in the face of the greatest challenges, one can still choose to smile and embrace (拥抱) life with open arms. 24. Why did Wildman decide to write about her daughter’s illness? A. To share a personal experience. B. To praise doctors’ endless efforts. C. To highlight medical knowledge. D. To show how to attend to sick kids. 25. Which of the following best describes Orli? A. Humorous. B. Determined. C. Easy-going. D. Sharp-eyed. 26. What does the underlined word “dull” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Lively. B. Boring. C. Restless. D. Peaceful. 27. What can we learn from Orli’s story? A. Family support solves all problems. B. Illness always brings people closer. C. Music is the best way to reduce pain. D. A positive spirit can give value to life. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。10岁女孩Orli在身患肝母细胞瘤后，以乐观坚强的精神与病魔抗争，用微笑和爱诠释生命价值。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a writer for a magazine, Wildman decided to document her daughter’s long and difficult journey, hoping to show others what it really meant to live with the disease. (作为一名杂志撰稿人，威尔德曼决定记录下她女儿那段漫长而艰难的历程，希望能向其他人展示患有这种疾病的人的真实生活状态。)”可知，威尔德曼决定写关于她女儿患病的事情是为了分享一段个人经历。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“More importantly, it was about Orli’s strong spirit and love for life. (更重要的是，这体现了奥利坚强的意志以及她对生活的热爱。)”可知，奥利的性格坚强。故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“She played music, danced in the hallways, and invited nurses to join in the fun. She even chose her favorite songs before surgery, turning scary moments into something warm and familiar. Orli never allowed herself to be seen only as a patient. (她会演奏音乐，在走廊里翩翩起舞，还会邀请护士一同参与欢乐的活动。手术前，她还会挑选自己最喜爱的歌曲，将那些令人恐惧的时刻变得温馨而熟悉起来。奥利从不让自己仅仅被视为一名患者。)”可知，提到Orli在医院玩音乐、跳舞，把术前的可怕时刻变得有趣，说明她不愿让医院生活变得枯燥无聊，故划线词意思是“无聊的”，与boring同义。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Through her energy, joy, and hope, Orli touched the lives of everyone around her, showing the world that even in the face of the greatest challenges, one can still choose to smile and embrace (拥抱) life with open arms. (通过她的活力、快乐和希望，奥利影响了她周围每一个人的生活，向世人展示了即使在面临最严峻的挑战时，人们依然可以选择微笑并张开双臂拥抱生活。)”可知，奥莉的故事告诉我们积极的心态能赋予生活以价值。故选D。 C “Practice makes perfect” is very popular. However, can you really understand it? It is believed that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection” — or become an expert in their field. It was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful. However, although Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson said 10,000 hours was just an average figure. Some people needed fewer than 10,000 hours and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice were also important. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. Deliberate practice is much more effective, though more tiring. Many other studies prove practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for (占) about 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors are needed to become experts. Natural talent is an important factor, which is obvious in sports. For example, many baseball players have amazing eyesight that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. Besides, IQ, personality and attitude are necessary. It is also important to note that becoming an expert is not a quick success. Success also depends on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time! All in all, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to improvement. 28. Why does the author ask a question in the first paragraph? A. To let people think over it. B. To stress his opinion. C. To make a comparison. D. To give the meaning. 29. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Different people may need different practice hours. B. Practising a skill as a whole is much better for improvement. C. Ericsson doesn’t support deliberate practice. D. Gladwell’s work has nothing to do with Ericsson’s research. 30. What makes many baseball players perform so well? A. Their personality. B. Their talent. C. Their attitude. D. Their practice. 31. Which sentence will the author probably agree with? A. Attitude is everything. B. Patience determines success. C. Talent is the most important. D. Practice makes a difference. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“熟能生巧”的深层含义，指出成为专家不仅需要大量练习，还需刻意练习、天赋、环境等多因素共同作用。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““Practice makes perfect” is very popular. However, can you really understand it? (“熟能生巧”是很流行的。然而，你真的能理解它吗？)”可知，作者通过提问引发读者思考，让读者反思“熟能生巧”的真正含义，从而引出下文的探讨。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, although Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson said 10,000 hours was just an average figure. Some people needed fewer than 10,000 hours and others many more. (然而，尽管Gladwell的研究主要基于Anders Ericsson的研究，但Ericsson表示，1万小时只是平均数字。有些人需要的时间少于1万个小时，有些人则需要更多。)”可推知，不同人可能需要不同的练习时间。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Natural talent is an important factor, which is obvious in sports. For example, many baseball players have amazing eyesight that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. (天赋是一个重要因素，这在体育运动中表现得尤为明显。例如，许多棒球运动员有惊人的视力，使他们能比其他人更快地看到球。)”可知，许多棒球运动员表现出色得益于他们的天赋。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“All in all, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to improvement. (总而言之，练习不一定能造就完美，但刻意练习已被证明能带来进步。)”可知，作者指出刻意练习的有效性。由此推知，他会赞同“练习能产生影响”的观点。故选D项。 D With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 32. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 33. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 34. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 35. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. (挪威斯塔万格大学的文学教授安妮·曼根表示，与在屏幕上阅读不同，在纸上阅读很平静，而且能吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，纸质书更能让我们静下心来阅读。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. (劳伦·辛格·特拉克曼的一项研究发现，无论是在纸上阅读还是在屏幕上阅读，学生都能理解主要思想，但他们会错过屏幕上的一些小细节。)”可知，屏幕阅读速度快，但不利于深度思考。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. (辛格·特拉克曼说，她用Kindle是为了娱乐，但在严肃的阅读中，她会转向纸质书。)”可知，她习惯用纸质书阅读严肃读物。阅读挑战性的文学读物属于严肃阅读，所以可以推断在读挑战性的文学时，她倾向于用纸质书。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones.( 随着数字化学习的普及，一些学生选择使用电脑和互联网在家学习。他们使用网站和电子书，而不是纸质书。)”及全文可知，文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处，所以B项“Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens(纸质阅读vs.屏幕阅读)”作本文标题最佳。故选B。 三、阅读七选五：每小题2.5分, 共12.5分。 It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. ___36___ The first step is to find them. Go to YouTube and do a search for something like “official trailer”. Several film trailers will appear. ___37___ Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are. These films are usually humorous and relatable. To find animated films, try doing a search for something like “animated official trailer”. Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions(字幕), which you will use later. You can find the closed caption mark at the bottom of the video. It may be listed as “CC” or something else. Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube.___38___ Next, watch the video at a normal speed without closed captions. Try to understand what the story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details. ___39___ It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level. ___40___ Find the “CC” setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help you in several ways. You can confirm whether you understand the dialogue in your first viewing, make clearer any dialogue you do not understand, and connect the sound of words with their spellings. You can also write down a few of the new words in a notebook or on your mobile phone. A. So choose newer videos. B. You can choose some that look interesting. C. They may sound a little strange at a slower speed. D. With this method, you are testing your English skills. E. Then watch the video again, this time with closed captions. F. Besides, try using your notebook as you learn English in your everyday life. G. Now let's talk about steps you can take to get the most out of watching them. 【答案】36. G 37. B 38. A 39. D 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何通过看英语电影的预告片来获得最大的收获。 【36题详解】 上文“It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills.(有研究表明，看英语电影预告片可以提高你的英语词汇量和思维能力。)”提到，看英语电影预告片可以提高你的英语词汇量和思维能力，下文是具体的步骤，所以G项“现在让我们来谈谈你可以采取的步骤，以获得最大的收获”起承上启下的作用，故选G项。 【37题详解】 上文“Several film trailers will appear.(几部电影的预告片将会出现。)” 提到会出现几部电影预告片，结合下文“Animated films can be an especially good choice for English practice no matter how old you are.(不管你年龄多大，看动画电影都是练习英语的好选择。)”可知，B项“你可以选择一些看起来很有趣的电影预告片”引出下文，符合语境。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据段首句“Make sure the video you choose offers closed captions (确保你选择的视频提供了隐藏式字幕)”可知，要选择带字幕的影片，结合空前一句“Keep in mind that trailers more than five or seven years old may not offer closed captions on YouTube.(记住，超过5或7年的预告片可能不会在YouTube上提供隐藏式字幕。)”可知，超过5或7年的预告片可能没有字幕，所以要选择更新一点的视频，A项“所以选择更新的视频”承接上文。故选A项。 【39题详解】 上文“Try to understand what the story is about overall. Then watch it again to seek more details.(试着理解整个故事的内容。然后再看一遍以了解更多细节。)”是描述方法，结合空后“It will give you an idea of whether the dialogue is too fast or difficult for your skill level.(它会让你了解对话对你的技能水平来说是太快还是太难)”可知，D项“用这种方法测试你的英语技能”与上下文关系紧密，符合语境。故选D项。 【40题详解】 空处是段落主题句，下文“Find the ‘CC’ setting at the bottom of the video and click the captions. This can help you in several ways. (找到在视频的底部‘CC’设置，并点击字幕。这可以在几个方面帮助你。)”谈论的是点击字幕及好处，故E项“再看一遍视频，这次是带隐藏式字幕的”符合语境。故选E项。 四、完形填空：每小题1分, 共15分。 When my sister Diane began playing the violin, she was seven. How did she sound? Terrible. But she didn’t ___41___. At twelve, she asked our parents if she could ___42___ a full-time music school. They said no.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高考听力课堂训练41。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的abc三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。Mister Brown is not in at the moment.

Drottningholm Palace, Sweden This breathtaking palace in Drottningholm is not only a residence of the Swedish royal family, but it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its impressively preserved castle and theatre. The palace and park are open to the public year-round. Royal Palace, Oslo, Norway The official royal residence for the Norwegian ovals has neoclassical architecture and landscaped gardens with ponds and eye-catching statues. During the summer months the palace opens to the public on guided tours, which include beautiful staterooms (会客厅), the Bird Room, Mirror Hall, Small Ceremonial Hall and Banqueting Hall. Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain While the Royal Palace of Madrid is officially the royal residence, nowadays the Spanish royals choose to live in the Zarzuela Palace instead, with the Madrid Palace used mainly for state ceremonies. There are over 3,000 rooms in this breathtaking palace, making it one of the largest in the world. Highlights include the royal kitchens and the painting gallery, while the Changing of the Guard ceremony never fails to be a hit with tourists. Palace of Versailles, France If you want to visit a palace that’s luxurious (豪华的), then the Palace of Versailles needs to be on your list. France hasn’t had a royal family since the French Revolution in 1789, but this palace offers a glimpse (短暂的感受) into how the former royals lived, as well as serving as a museum which preserves some of the finest works by the most gifted painters, sculptors and craftsmen of the time. 21.

B In 2019, Sarah Wildman’s daughter, Orli, was only 10 years old when doctors found that she had hepatoblastoma, a serious illness. The news changed the family’s life right away. As a writer for a magazine, Wildman decided to document her daughter’s long and difficult journey, hoping to show others what it really meant to live with the disease. In her articles, Wildman described the pain Orli went through during her treatment. Wildman believed she understood pain, but seeing her child suffer made her realize how deep and heavy pain could be. It was something she had never truly known before. However, the story was not only about illness and pain. More importantly, it was about Orli’s strong spirit and love for life. Despite the great challenges brought on by her condition, Orli chose to face them with a smile and tried to enjoy life in her unique way. “Hope is a driving force,” Wildman said. “It is hope that pushes us to seek out new treatments, to fight for more days, more months, maybe even years.” Throughout countless rounds of treatment and surgery (手术), Orli never let go of her love for life. She repeatedly reminded those around her that every single day was worth living to the fullest. In the hospital, Orli refused to let life become dull. She played music, danced in the hallways, and invited nurses to join in the fun. She even chose her favorite songs before surgery, turning scary moments into something warm and familiar. Orli never allowed herself to be seen only as a patient. Through her energy, joy, and hope, Orli touched the lives of everyone around her, showing the world that even in the face of the greatest challenges, one can still choose to smile and embrace (拥抱) life with open arms. 24. Why did Wildman decide to write about her daughter’s illness? A. To share a personal experience. B. To praise doctors’ endless efforts. C. To highlight medical knowledge. D. To show how to attend to sick kids. 25. Which of the following best describes Orli? A. Humorous. B. Determined. C. Easy-going. D. Sharp-eyed. 26. What does the underlined word “dull” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Lively. B. Boring. C. Restless. D. Peaceful. 27. What can we learn from Orli’s story? A. Family support solves all problems. B. Illness always brings people closer. C. Music is the best way to reduce pain. D. A positive spirit can give value to life. C “Practice makes perfect” is very popular. However, can you really understand it? It is believed that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection” — or become an expert in their field. It was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful. However, although Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson said 10,000 hours was just an average figure. Some people needed fewer than 10,000 hours and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice were also important. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. Deliberate practice is much more effective, though more tiring. Many other studies prove practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for (占) about 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors are needed to become experts. Natural talent is an important factor, which is obvious in sports. For example, many baseball players have amazing eyesight that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. Besides, IQ, personality and attitude are necessary. It is also important to note that becoming an expert is not a quick success. Success also depends on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time! All in all, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to improvement. 28. Why does the author ask a question in the first paragraph? A. To let people think over it. B. To stress his opinion. C. To make a comparison. D. To give the meaning. 29. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Different people may need different practice hours. B. Practising a skill as a whole is much better for improvement. C. Ericsson doesn’t support deliberate practice. D. Gladwell’s work has nothing to do with Ericsson’s research. 30. What makes many baseball players perform so well? A. Their personality. B. Their talent. C. Their attitude. D. Their practice. 31. Which sentence will the author probably agree with? A. Attitude is everything. B. Patience determines success. C. Talent is the most important. D. Practice makes a difference. D With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 32. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 33. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 34. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 35. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home 三、阅读七选五：每小题2.5分, 共12.5分。 It has been shown that watching English movie trailers(预告片) can improve your English vocabulary and thinking skills. ___36___ The first step is to find them.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
