C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了NAGA举办的一个结合诗歌与古琴学习的课程。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The North American Guqin Association (NAGA) has developed a new class series that will combine (融合) poetry and music with guqin study and aims to deepen the appreciation of Chinese poetry and guqin culture through the exploration of guqin songs.(NAGA开发了一个新的课程系列，将诗歌和音乐与古琴学习结合起来，旨在通过对古琴歌曲的探索加深对中国诗歌和古琴文化的欣赏。)”可知，新课程系列的特别之处在于结合了中国诗歌和古琴音乐。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Fees and schedules部分“Fee: $150 (one session) or $480 (4 sessions)(费用：$150(一节)或$480 (4节))”和Instruments部分“NAGA class sponsor will provide discounts for students who want to buy guqins in the class, with prices starting from only $199(NAGA课程赞助商将为想在课堂上购买古琴的学生提供折扣，起价仅为199美元)”可知，选择4节课并购买一件乐器至少要花480+199=679美元，故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The North American Guqin Association (NAGA) has developed a new class series that will combine (融合) poetry and music with guqin study and aims to deepen the appreciation of Chinese poetry and guqin culture through the exploration of guqin songs.(NAGA开发了一个新的课程系列，将诗歌和音乐与古琴学习结合起来，旨在通过对古琴歌曲的探索加深对中国诗歌和古琴文化的欣赏。)”可知，本文是NAGA举办的一个结合诗歌与古琴学习的课程介绍，因此本文的目的是为古琴课做广告。故选C。 B We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have weakened conversational intelligence (智力). It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Regarding small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Good manners are based on small talks,” he says. 24. What does the scene described in the first paragraph show? A. Feeling uneasy about complete silence. B. Discomfort from crowds. C. Not enough interaction between strangers. D. People’s addiction to smartphones. 25. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people. C. Making business deals. D. Focusing on a shared topic. 26. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk? A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence. C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Skills of communication B. Ways of Breaking Silence C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Avoidance of Embarrassment 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出人们在陌生人面前缺乏交流，强调闲聊虽看似不重要，但实则是宝贵的社交活动，能带来诸多益处。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.(我们都有过这样的经历：在电梯里、在银行排队或在飞机上，周围的人像我们一样，都专注于他们的智能手机，或者更糟糕的是，在令人不自在的沉默中挣扎)”可知，人们在公共场合要么专注手机，要么陷入沉默，由此可推断出这一场景体现了陌生人之间缺乏足够的交流互动。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Carducci的话“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.(成功闲聊的关键是学习如何与他人建立联系，而不仅仅是与他们交流)”可知，Carducci认为对于成功的闲聊来说，与他人建立联系很重要；“relate to other people”与“connect with others”意思一致。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.(结果显示，那些与服务员聊天的人报告说他们有明显更高的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验)”可知，咖啡店的研究表明闲聊能让人感觉良好。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段“But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.(但下次当你发现自己身处陌生人之中时，考虑一下，闲聊是值得的。专家说这是一种非常有价值的社交活动，能带来巨大的好处)”以及后文对闲聊好处的阐述可知，本文主要讲的是闲聊的益处。故C项“Benefits of Small Talk(闲聊的好处)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 C A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species? These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans. Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat. The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound. This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization. 28. Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2? A. To support an idea. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To explain a problem. D. To present a suggestion. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Rakus got injured. B. How Rakus treated his wound. C. What Rakus ate in the wild. D. What Rakus explored in the forest. 30. What can be inferred about the new observation? A. It proves the medical value of a plant leaf. B. It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans. C. It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine. D. It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild B. Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate C. A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat D. An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans.(这些动物被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一。人们观察到它们使用工具，进行口头交流，并参与更复杂的行为，如计算互惠，这包括帮助另一只猩猩并期望得到回报。他们甚至可以在人类的帮助下使用Skype)”可知，作者在第二段提到Skype是为了支持“大猩猩被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一”这一个想法。故选A。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound.(研究人员在6月份注意到，拉库斯在与另一只成年雄性猩猩打架后，脸上有一个小伤口。几天后，拉库斯做了一件没人见过的灵长类动物做过的事。他开始小心翼翼地从一种叫akar kuning的藤蔓上采摘叶子。当地居民长期以来一直使用这些叶子来缓解疼痛和治疗疟疾等疾病。猩猩通常不吃这些植物；事实上，拉库斯并没有吃它们。他咀嚼它们，然后将产生的糊状物涂在脸上的伤口上)”可知，第四段的主要内容是拉库斯如何处理他的伤口。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization.(研究人员认为，早期人类可能是通过观察动物的类似行为来了解某些治疗方法的。而我们，在几千代人之后，仍然在观察和好奇他们到底有多聪明。越来越多的迹象表明，猩猩似乎离人类文明只有一步之遥)”可知，新的观察结果增加了证明猩猩智力的证据。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species?(在苏门答腊岛的一项新观察让经验丰富的科学家们大吃一惊。一只名为Rakus的猩猩用一种药用植物治疗了一个新伤口，这是第一次看到动物为了健康而使用生物活性物质。这让科学家们想知道：是人类发明了药物，还是早于我们的物种？)”结合文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。可知，D选项“观察到一只猩猩将药用植物涂抹在伤口上”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Does adversity (逆境) warm hearts or harden them? Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情). We conducted a study online and reached more than 200 people from all walks of life. After asking them about the hardships they faced and how often they experienced compassion, we offered them the chance to donate some of the money they were about to be paid for taking part in the study to help people in need. The result showed that those who had faced serious adversities in life feel more compassion for suffering people. And as a result, they donated more money. Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong. In an article recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the Kellogg School of Management professor Loran Nordgren and his team found that the human mind refuses to work as usual when it comes to remembering its own past hardships: it regularly makes them appear to be less painful than they actually were. Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others’ challenges. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion. Our findings, taken together with those of Professor Nordgren and his team, are that living through hardships doesn’t either warm hearts or harden them; it does both. Knowing suffering in life usually enhances the compassion we feel for others, except when the suffering involves specific painful events that we know all too well. 32. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s study? A. Those attending it had to pay for it. B. Those attending it were asked questions only. C. It is meant to encourage people to help those in need. D. It tries to reveal the relationship between adversity and compassion. 33. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. People’s compassion for suffering people. B. People’s understanding of others’ misfortune. C. The findings of Loran Nordgren and his team. D. The assumption that shared misfortune may lead to compassion. 34. What did Professor Nordgren and his team find? A. Hardships make people lost in sad memories. B. Hardships lead to people’s lack of compassion. C. People tend to remember their hardships easily. D. People suffering from adversity are easy to break down. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Hidden Power of Compassion B. Surprising link of Adversity and Compassion C. Compassion: A Gift from Personal Adversity D. Adversity: A Pathway to Deeper Compassion 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了对逆境和同情之间关系的探索和研究，以及研究的有趣发现。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情).(最近，我和我的研究生丹尼尔开始探索逆境和同情之间的关系。)”可知，作者进行这项研究是为了揭示逆境和同情之间的关系。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong.(现在，如果经历任何类型的困难都能让一个人更有同情心，你可能会认为，当一个人经历了另一个人所面临的确切不幸时，就会有同情心。有趣的是，事实证明这是大错特错的。)”可知，this指代的是上文提到的“the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing”这一观点，即共同的不幸可能会使人产生同情这种观点。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others’ challenges. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion.(因此，回忆起自己过去的糟糕经历可能会让你低估他人挑战的难度。你认为，你克服了它；他也应该如此。结果如何？你缺乏同情心。)”可知， Nordgren和其团队发现：困难经历会使人缺乏同情心。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情).(最近，我和我的研究生丹尼尔开始探索逆境和同情之间的关系。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要通过研究讨论了逆境和同情之间的关系，逆境可以使人有同情心，但如果人们太过了解某一特定的痛苦经历，这会使人缺乏同情心，所以B项“逆境和同情心之间的惊人联系”最适合作本文标题。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。 Are you sitting more than ever? ___36___ You’re probably sitting while reading this. Sometimes you sit when you are driving or attending a meeting. Other times you sit when you engage yourself in watching a movie or playing computer games. That’s undoubtedly a lot of sitting. The fact is, the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ___37___ We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long-time TV watching. ___38___ A study on nearly 8,000 adults suggests that there’s a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death of any cause. As the total sitting time increases, so does the risk of early death. “Sit less, move more” is what the Heart Association encourages us to do. ___39___ It is like telling someone to just ”exercise“ without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example, the Center for Disease Control recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week, plus muscle strengthening activities two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting. ___40___ “It would probably be like, for every 30 continuous minutes of sitting, stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace,” Diaz, the lead researcher said, adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approach. A. Now it’s time to get up and move around. B. Take a moment to think about your sitting activities. C. Health experts also suggest exercising on a daily basis. D. But this guideline is just too simple and abstract to make a difference. E. As of today, average adult will spend 56-86% of their daily time sitting. F. But what exactly goes wrong when we park ourselves for nearly eight hours per day? G. To make up for the weakness, a research team is working on a more specific guideline. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. F 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇议论文。在当今社会，许多人都有久坐的现象，作者在文章中说明了久坐的危害，并就如何解决这个问题，提出了指导方针。 【36题详解】 根据下一句“You’re probably sitting while reading this. Sometimes you sit when you are driving or attending a meeting. Other times you sit when you engage yourself in watching a movie or playing computer games. ”可知，作者列举了人们坐着的时候可能做的事情，与选项B中“sitting activities”意思相符，是对它的举例说明。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据上一句“ The fact is, the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ”（事实是随着时间的推移，久坐所花的时间越来越多。），选项E中“ spend 56-86% of their daily time sitting.”给出了人们每天坐着的具体时长，对前一句是补充说明，符合语意。故选E。 【38题详解】 上一句“We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long-time TV watching”（我们知道久坐不好，而且我们中大多数人在长时间看电视后自然而然会感到有些内疚。）提到了久坐有害处；下一句“ A study on nearly 8,000 adults suggests that there’s a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death of any cause.”（一项对近8000个成年人所做的研究表明久坐和早期死亡风险之间是有之间关系的。）提到了久坐的具体危害。选项F中“But what exactly goes wrong ”问到了久坐到底有什么危害，起到了承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F。 【39题详解】 上一句中““Sit less, move more””（少坐、多动）是引号引用的句子，根据下文中“Exercise guidelines are always more practical.”可以判断这是指的guideline（指导方针）。选项D中“this guideline”指代前面所提到的引号表达的指导方针。D项（但是这个指导方针太简单和抽象了，而起不了什么作用）与下一句“It is like telling someone to just ”exercise“ without telling them how. ”（它像是只是告诉某人要锻炼，却没说怎么锻炼。）句意有连续性，符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 上一段“It is like telling someone to just ”exercise“ without telling them how. ”提到了第一次给出的指导方针不够具体，存在缺点。下一句““It would probably be like, for every 30 continuous minutes of sitting, stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace,””中给出了新的比较具体的指导方针。选项C（为了弥补这个缺点，一个研究团队正在从事制定更为具体的指导方针。）起到了承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节, 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。 Natalie Barnes is a bus driver in Wisconsin, US.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Seen 【解析】 【详解】句意：从山顶望去，我们的城市非常美丽。句中有谓语动词is，______ (see) from the top of the hill作时间状语，要将see变成非谓语动词；由于主语our city和see之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，要用过去分词seen表示被动含义，它放在句首时首字母s要大写。 69.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】attached 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这家附属于附近医学院的医院在洪水中被毁。句中was destroyed为谓语，空处为非谓语动词，非谓语动词attach和逻辑主语hospital之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语。故填attached。 70.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】involving 【解析】 【详解】考查现在分词。句意：发生了一起涉及一群年轻人的严重事件。设空处为非谓语动词，修饰名词incident作定语，involve和逻辑主语incident之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，故填involving。 71. Weather ________ (permit), we’ll have a picnic.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】referred 【解析】 【详解】句意：会议上提到的那个人是他的父亲。空处到meeting为后置定语，修饰主语The man，该主语与refer to之间为被动关系，应用过去分词referred表被动。 73. ________ (locate) in the south of China, Guangdong is a large province. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Located 【解析】 【详解】句意：广东位于中国南部，是一个面积较大的省份。句子主干成分完整，空处为非谓语，be located in是固定短语，意为“位于……”，locate和Guangdong逻辑上是被动关系，因此用locate的过去分词形式，作状语，且句首单词的首字母应大写。 74. You can have food ________ (deliver) to you using food delivery apps.

When I was a boy of fourteen, I needed to have 80 hours of community service per year and I used to take care of Mrs. Long’s garden, which was near the Presbyterian Church. As a junior high school student, I devoted myself to it, sweeping the fallen leaves and mowing the lawn (修剪草坪). There I learnt how to cut away dry branches and even helped to plant a sapling (小树苗). Tired as I was every time I finished my work, I did enjoy the time there for learning something new. I clearly remembered that Mrs Long, a nice and caring elder, always treated me to delicious meals and drinks. She also loved taking photos, always with an old camera in hand. It was said that the camera was passed down from her father and she cherished it a lot. Several days before Christmas, she whispered to me, “When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time wondering what it would be. The boys I played with had baseball gloves, ice skates and bicycles, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that she intended to choose from among them. But at the same time, I had some doubts whether she would buy me such things because she was not that well-off. The day before Christmas, I went there as before. With the work done, I was going to leave when she pulled me aside. “Kid, wait for a minute,” she said, leading me into her living room. She seated me on a chair, went to another room, and in a moment stood before me holding a small package that under no circumstances could hold a bicycle or a pair of skates or even a baseball glove. It weighed almost nothing. 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。 Paragraph 1: I took the package with disappointment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Opening the package, I was totally astonished. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I took the package with disappointment. It was so light that I guessed there must be something valueless. I had been looking forward to the present for so long but I had never expected the result like this! There was no doubt that Mrs. Long could not understand what I desired. Carrying the package, I tried to contain my facial expression but obviously, Mrs. Long noticed my emotion. With a smile, she gently patted my shoulder and encouraged me to open the package. Slowly I unwrapped the delicately-packed present, wondering what on earth it would be. She told me to open the package soon after arriving home. Thanking her with a knowing smile, I headed home. The moment I was back home, curiosity drove me to unwrapped the delicately-packed present. Paragraph 2: Opening the package, I was totally astonished. Lying there were several photos of me! I picked up one of them which showed a hard-working figure sweeping the fallen leaves with sweat wetting the whole T-shirt. I was so thrilled that it was Mrs. Long who carefully recorded such precious moments for me. Never before had I realized how attentive I was and the wonderful scene was elaborately recorded. Deeply touched, I expressed how meaningful I considered the present was. Now the photo is still in my album, reminding me of the wonderful days I spent on Mrs. Long’s garden. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者去邻居Mrs. Long的花园做社区服务时，既享受着Mrs. Long的热情款待，也不断地学习到新的东西。圣诞节前Mrs. Long告诉作者要送礼物给作者，于是作者对礼物充满期待，想象着自己希望收到的礼物。但圣诞节前一天，Mrs. Long却拿了一份几乎没有“重量”的小包裹给作者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我失望地接过包裹。”可知，第一段可描写作者收到包裹后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“打开包裹，我惊呆了。”可知，第二段可描写作者打开包裹之后，礼物的内容和作者的反应。 2.续写线索：接过包裹——想要打开——被阻止——打开包裹——收到照片——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①期望：look forward to /expect ②理解：understand /make sense of ③到达：arrive/reach 情绪类 ①微笑：smile /beam ②感动的：touched /moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] There was no doubt that Mrs. Long could not understand what I desired.

B We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have weakened conversational intelligence (智力). It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Regarding small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Good manners are based on small talks,” he says. 24. What does the scene described in the first paragraph show? A. Feeling uneasy about complete silence. B. Discomfort from crowds. C. Not enough interaction between strangers. D. People’s addiction to smartphones. 25. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people. C. Making business deals. D. Focusing on a shared topic. 26. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk? A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence. C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Skills of communication B. Ways of Breaking Silence C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Avoidance of Embarrassment C A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species? These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans. Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat. The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound. This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization. 28. Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2? A. To support an idea. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To explain a problem. D. To present a suggestion. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Rakus got injured. B. How Rakus treated his wound. C. What Rakus ate in the wild. D. What Rakus explored in the forest. 30. What can be inferred about the new observation? A. It proves the medical value of a plant leaf. B. It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans. C. It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine. D. It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild B. Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate C. A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat D. An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound D Does adversity (逆境) warm hearts or harden them? Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情). We conducted a study online and reached more than 200 people from all walks of life. After asking them about the hardships they faced and how often they experienced compassion, we offered them the chance to donate some of the money they were about to be paid for taking part in the study to help people in need. The result showed that those who had faced serious adversities in life feel more compassion for suffering people. And as a result, they donated more money. Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong. In an article recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the Kellogg School of Management professor Loran Nordgren and his team found that the human mind refuses to work as usual when it comes to remembering its own past hardships: it regularly makes them appear to be less painful than they actually were. Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others’ challenges. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion. Our findings, taken together with those of Professor Nordgren and his team, are that living through hardships doesn’t either warm hearts or harden them; it does both. Knowing suffering in life usually enhances the compassion we feel for others, except when the suffering involves specific painful events that we know all too well. 32. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s study? A. Those attending it had to pay for it. B. Those attending it were asked questions only. C. It is meant to encourage people to help those in need. D. It tries to reveal the relationship between adversity and compassion. 33. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. People’s compassion for suffering people. B. People’s understanding of others’ misfortune. C. The findings of Loran Nordgren and his team. D. The assumption that shared misfortune may lead to compassion. 34. What did Professor Nordgren and his team find? A. Hardships make people lost in sad memories. B. Hardships lead to people’s lack of compassion. C. People tend to remember their hardships easily. D. People suffering from adversity are easy to break down. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Hidden Power of Compassion B. Surprising link of Adversity and Compassion C. Compassion: A Gift from Personal Adversity D. Adversity: A Pathway to Deeper Compassion 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。 Are you sitting more than ever? ___36___ You’re probably sitting while reading this. Sometimes you sit when you are driving or attending a meeting. Other times you sit when you engage yourself in watching a movie or playing computer games. That’s undoubtedly a lot of sitting. The fact is, the amount of time spent sitting has increased over time. ___37___ We know sitting too much is bad, and most of us naturally feel a little guilty after a long-time TV watching. ___38___ A study on nearly 8,000 adults suggests that there’s a direct relationship between the time spent sitting and our risk of early death of any cause. As the total sitting time increases, so does the risk of early death. “Sit less, move more” is what the Heart Association encourages us to do. ___39___ It is like telling someone to just ”exercise“ without telling them how. Exercise guidelines are always more practical. For example, the Center for Disease Control recommends adults do exercise for two hours and 30 minutes every week, plus muscle strengthening activities two or more days a week. We need similar guidelines for sitting. ___40___ “It would probably be like, for every 30 continuous minutes of sitting, stand up and move or walk for five minutes at a quick pace,” Diaz, the lead researcher said, adding that the study has put us a step closer to the satisfying guidelines. But more researches are needed to confirm their approach. A. Now it’s time to get up and move around. B. Take a moment to think about your sitting activities. C. Health experts also suggest exercising on a daily basis. D. But this guideline is just too simple and abstract to make a difference. E. As of today, average adult will spend 56-86% of their daily time sitting. F. But what exactly goes wrong when we park ourselves for nearly eight hours per day? G. To make up for the weakness, a research team is working on a more specific guideline. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节, 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。 Natalie Barnes is a bus driver in Wisconsin, US.

When I was a boy of fourteen, I needed to have 80 hours of community service per year and I used to take care of Mrs. Long’s garden, which was near the Presbyterian Church. As a junior high school student, I devoted myself to it, sweeping the fallen leaves and mowing the lawn (修剪草坪). There I learnt how to cut away dry branches and even helped to plant a sapling (小树苗). Tired as I was every time I finished my work, I did enjoy the time there for learning something new. I clearly remembered that Mrs Long, a nice and caring elder, always treated me to delicious meals and drinks. She also loved taking photos, always with an old camera in hand. It was said that the camera was passed down from her father and she cherished it a lot. Several days before Christmas, she whispered to me, “When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time wondering what it would be. The boys I played with had baseball gloves, ice skates and bicycles, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that she intended to choose from among them. But at the same time, I had some doubts whether she would buy me such things because she was not that well-off. The day before Christmas, I went there as before. With the work done, I was going to leave when she pulled me aside. “Kid, wait for a minute,” she said, leading me into her living room. She seated me on a chair, went to another room, and in a moment stood before me holding a small package that under no circumstances could hold a bicycle or a pair of skates or even a baseball glove. It weighed almost nothing. 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。 Paragraph 1: I took the package with disappointment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Opening the package, I was totally astonished. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高一英语听力模拟试题八第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Do your students study german?
