B Derek was always the last student to leave the music room. It was his favorite place at school, so he didn’t rush home. As he put his saxophone carefully back, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Mr. Boxwell stood behind him and asked, “Are you excited about Jazz Band (爵士乐队) Camp next week?” Derek was the only student at his school who was accepted into the best camp. “Actually, Mr. Boxwell,” Derek said quietly, “I’m really nervous. What if I don’t play well?” Mr. Boxwell smiled at Derek and said lightly, “You’re the best middle school saxophone player I’ve taught. You will blow away the people at camp with your talent. Is there anything else troubling you?” Derek looked down at his shoes. He wasn’t sure how to tell Mr. Boxwell that he had never been to an overnight summer camp. What if he didn’t make any friends? What would the food be like? Mr. Boxwell looked down into Derek’s eyes. “My first summer camp experience was a music camp when I was your age. For some reason, I had the ideas in my head that I wasn’t going to make any friends and that I was going to miss my mom’s cooking.” He laughed again. “Well, I did miss my mom’s cooking, but I was surprised by how quickly I made friends with the other kids from the band and the orchestra (管弦乐队) kids too.” Just then, the door opened and in walked Mr. Graham, the orchestra teacher. “In fact,” Mr. Graham said, “That’s where we met 25 years ago! We’ve been best friends ever since!” Hearing this, Derek laughed. He left the music room with his teacher happily. 21. What did Mr. Boxwell think of Derek according to the passage? A. Brave. B. Talented. C. Patient. D. Friendly. 22. Why was Derek afraid to take part in the camp? A. Because he had never spent a night in a camp. B. Because he did not have enough pocket money. C.

But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend (展开). They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (拇指) to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的) people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. In a similar study, researchers discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. Professor Edward Gibson said, “It is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.” Although all humans are able to understand quantities (数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too. 26. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China? A. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten. B. People from China count much faster than people from the U.S. C. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting. D. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting. 27. Which of the following agrees with the facts about aboriginal Australians in the text? A. They have only a few words for numbers. B. They can only count to five on their fingers. C. They have hand movements to stand for numbers. D. They can understand different ideas about numbers. 28. What conclusion can we draw from the research of the Piraha tribe? A. People of the tribe have words for number. B. People all over the world know how to count. C. Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe. D. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count. 29. Which is the RIGHT structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. B. C. D. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to count. B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans. C. Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need them. D. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） Have you ever been to Macao?

They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital (数字的) teacher. Will, their new digital teacher, is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that turns up on the students’ computers or smartphone screens when called. Developed by Vector and Soul Machines, Will is able to reply to questions the kids might have using a microphone. Thanks to a digital camera, he can also pick up non-verbal signals (非语言信号) and react. For example, if a student smiles at Will, he can smile back. This two-way communication not only helps draw the students’ attention but also allows the program’s developers to make changes to Will if needed. Greg Cross, the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines, says, “Kids who have grown up in this digital time get used to new technology quickly. So we hope to develop the idea of digital humans in the education area.” However, no matter how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one, his knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest digital humans can never predict and react to all the unexpected problems that educators have to solve daily. But Will could come in handy as a “personal teacher”, providing kids with one-on-one help on the subjects or even topics. Will is a ____46____ teacher. (仅填1词) Greg Cross invented Will because he hoped to ____47____ in the education area. (不超过8词) Fill in the blanks according to the passage. About Will Can do Can’t do replying to students’ questions It doesn’t have ____48____. (不超过4词) ____49____. (不超过6词) It can’t solve unexpected problems. Do you want to have Will? Why or why not? (结合自身实际，不超过20词) ______________50______________ 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 初中毕业在即，很多同学想利用暑假去旅游。请你根据以下提示和要求，写一篇英语短文，通过你校英语论坛，向大家推荐一个好去处，并给出旅行建议。 提示： 1. Which is the best place to go to? 2.

Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true. People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend (展开). They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb (拇指) to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand. Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的) people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers. In a similar study, researchers discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three”. Professor Edward Gibson said, “It is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.” Although all humans are able to understand quantities (数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too. 26. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China? A. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten. B. People from China count much faster than people from the U.S. C. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting. D. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting. 27. Which of the following agrees with the facts about aboriginal Australians in the text? A. They have only a few words for numbers. B. They can only count to five on their fingers. C. They have hand movements to stand for numbers. D. They can understand different ideas about numbers. 28. What conclusion can we draw from the research of the Piraha tribe? A. People of the tribe have words for number. B. People all over the world know how to count. C. Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe. D. Some groups of people are not smart enough to count. 29. Which is the RIGHT structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, …) A. B. C. D. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to count. B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans. C. Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need them. D. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math. 【答案】26. D 27. D 28. C 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文作者给我们介绍的是关于数字和数学，不同的文化有不同的观点。不同文化的国家里，人们数数的方式是不同的，有些国家里根本没有表示数字的单词，他们不用数字来数数，但是他们同样理解关于数字的想法，数字和数学在全世界并非完全相同。 【26题详解】 原文第二段：“In the United States, people begin countin… In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.”，提到美国和中国的手指计数方式不同，说明不同文化可能使用不同的手指计数方法。 【27题详解】 原文第三段：“A group of scientists studied aboriginal (土著的) people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.”明确提到这些土著没有代表数字的手势，甚至没有数字词汇，但仍然能够理解不同的数字概念。 【28题详解】 原句第五段：“Professor Edward Gibson said, ‘It is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.’ ”教授明确说明：这个部落不是学不会数数，而是数数在他们的文化中没有用，所以他们一直没有发展出数数的能力。 【29题详解】 ①第一段：提出核心观点（数字和数学并非全世界通用，实际存在差异），总起全文； ②③④第二段到第四段：分别举“中美手指计数差异、澳大利亚土著、巴西皮拉哈部落”三个例子，分点论证观点； ⑤第五段：总结全文，得出结论。 该结构对应第一个选项的结构图。 【30题详解】 文章开头提出“人们原本认为数字和数学全世界一样，实际并非如此”，结尾总结“不同文化的人们对数字和数学有不同的理解”，核心主旨是：不同文化的人对数字和数学有不同的想法。选项A、B、C都是文中的细节例子，不是核心主旨。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） Have you ever been to Macao?

They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital (数字的) teacher. Will, their new digital teacher, is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that turns up on the students’ computers or smartphone screens when called. Developed by Vector and Soul Machines, Will is able to reply to questions the kids might have using a microphone. Thanks to a digital camera, he can also pick up non-verbal signals (非语言信号) and react. For example, if a student smiles at Will, he can smile back. This two-way communication not only helps draw the students’ attention but also allows the program’s developers to make changes to Will if needed. Greg Cross, the Chief Business Officer for Soul Machines, says, “Kids who have grown up in this digital time get used to new technology quickly. So we hope to develop the idea of digital humans in the education area.” However, no matter how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one, his knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest digital humans can never predict and react to all the unexpected problems that educators have to solve daily. But Will could come in handy as a “personal teacher”, providing kids with one-on-one help on the subjects or even topics. Will is a ____46____ teacher. (仅填1词) Greg Cross invented Will because he hoped to ____47____ in the education area. (不超过8词) Fill in the blanks according to the passage. About Will Can do Can’t do replying to students’ questions It doesn’t have ____48____. (不超过4词) ____49____. (不超过6词) It can’t solve unexpected problems. Do you want to have Will? Why or why not? (结合自身实际，不超过20词) ______________50______________ 【答案】46. digital 47. develop the idea of digital humans 48. a large knowledge base 49. providing kids with one-on-one help 50. Yes, because it can provide one-on-one help whenever I need it. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了新西兰一所小学使用数字教师Will辅助教学的情况，指出它可以回答问题、识别非语言信号，但知识库有限、无法取代真人教师。 【46题详解】 根据文章第一段“They became the world’s first kids to be ‘taught’ by a digital teacher.”（他们成为世界上第一批由数字老师“教”的孩子。）和第二段“Will, their new digital teacher...”（Will，他们的新数字老师……）可推知Will是一名数字老师。题目要求“仅填 1 词”，直接提取原文形容词digital即可，意为“数字的”。 【47题详解】 根据文章第三段“So we hope to develop the idea of digital humans in the education area.”（所以我们希望在教育领域发展数字人的理念。）可推知Greg Cross发明Will是希望在教育领域发展数字人的理念。题目要求“不超过8词”，提取该句的核心动宾短语即可，意为“发展数字人类的理念”，填develop the idea of digital humans。 【48题详解】 根据文章第四段“For one, his knowledge base is not large.”（首先，他的知识库不大。）可推知它没有庞大的知识库，填a large knowledge base。 【49题详解】 根据文章第四段“But Will could come in handy as a ‘personal teacher’, providing kids with one-on-one help...”（但Will作为“私人老师”可能会派上用场，为孩子们提供一对一的帮助……）可推知它能提供一对一帮助。故填providing kids with one-on-one help。 【50题详解】 本题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。 第二节 书面表达（共1题，满分15分） 51. 初中毕业在即，很多同学想利用暑假去旅游。请你根据以下提示和要求，写一篇英语短文，通过你校英语论坛，向大家推荐一个好去处，并给出旅行建议。 提示： 1.
