The sun is about to set when we reach our destination, the home of a nomadic herder (游牧牧民) family. My host, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a color from long hours working outdoors, giving him the look of a sailor from an Ernest Hemingway novel. We have pre-arranged our visit but travelers in Mongolia can drive up to pretty much any ger(蒙古包) and feel welcomed to stay. You don’t have to knock on the door: when you approach a nomadic family, a traditional greeting is to say a kind “Hold your dog.”, even if you don’t see a dog.
We feast at the family home on one of the country’s most unique and tasty dishes: khorkhog, or mutton cooked using hot rocks. This comes served with onions, a variety of berries, and milk—besides more plates of meat, all from the family’s own livestock (家畜).
Mongolia is home to one of the world’s few remaining truly nomadic cultures. About a fifth of the population are herders, and nomadism is complexly woven into the country’s spirit. But modern life is catching up with the people on the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my book is about: an outsider’s exploration of a society undergoing modernization while trying to hold fast to its deeply rooted traditional values.
Many of the livestock here, especially the more valuable breeds such as horses, camels and cattle, are implanted(植入) with microchips that can be monitored through satellite-based services. “I would like to use the Internet more because it’s fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a good place for them,” Batbayer says when I ask if better Internet connectivity might influence where to move his livestock next. “I would never choose Facebook over the well-being of the animals.”
14. Which aspect of the herders does the author focus on in paragraph 1?
A. Living conditions. B. Pet preference.
C. Reading habits. D. Friendliness.
15. What do we know about nomadic culture?
A. Herders have no access to fruits and vegetables.
B. It is the world’s leading culture.
C. The majority of Mongolians are herders.
D. Herders’ life is being modernized.
16. What can we infer from Batbayer’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He refuses to use social media.
B. He will no longer employ microchips.
C. He puts the good care of livestock first.
D. He will introduce more valuable breeds.
17. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Nomadic Life in Mongolia: Tradition and Modern Life.
B. Ways to Communicate with Mongolian Herders.
C. The Popularity of High Technology in Mongolia.
D. Traditional Dishes of Mongolian Nomadic Families.
C
Lonely? You’re hardly alone. Loneliness was becoming a growing problem for teens, especially girls throughout industrial nations across the globe. That’s the finding of a new study.
The new study linked rising loneliness to a greater use of smartphones and the Internet over the same years. Jean Twenge and her team shared their new findings in the July 20’s Journal of Adolescence. Twenge, a psychologist working at San Diego State University in California, and her team have found since 2012, U.S. teens have been spending less time together face-to-face. “Smartphones can help keep us connected with friends,” says Twenge. “But they can also make people feel excluded(被排斥).” Girls, especially, may feel this way. Studies have shown that girls may feel like an outcast if the photos and selfies they post don’t get a lot of “likes”.
And then there’s “phubbing”, a mixture of “phone” and “snubbing”. It’s a moment in which a friend or family member takes out a phone and stares at it, ignoring everybody else, including you. Phubbing is one way tech can affect you, even when you’re not the one using it.
The fact that so many more were reporting loneliness is a worrisome trend. Could technology really be behind that? “In general, I tend to think of technology as one piece of a broader puzzle contributing to loneliness,” says Amanda Lenhart, a researcher who studies how technology affects people’s lives at the Data & Society Research Institute.
If technology leads to loneliness, should we stop using it? “No, not at all,” argues Twenge. “Everybody of all ages is trying to figure out how we can best use these technologies and stay mentally healthy.” Her favorite bit of advice is to “use your smartphone for what it’s good for. Then put it away”. That includes putting it away overnight—ideally in another room.
18. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. The cause of increasing loneliness among teens.
B. Ways to gain more “likes” online
C. Different attitudes toward social media.
D. The popularity of smartphones in the US.
19. What kind of person does the underlined word “phubbing” refer to?
A. Being addicted to the Internet.
B. Being affected by technology.
C. Mixing words to create new ones.
D. Ignoring someone while using a phone.
20. What advice does Twenge give about the use of the telephone?
A. Reducing its use. B. Banning it thoroughly.
C. Using it properly. D. Never using it overnight.
21. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A personal diary. B. A science fiction.
C. A science magazine. D. A questionnaire survey.
D
Intelligence could play a role, according to a Michigan State University study that investigated the early stages of learning to play the piano. Published in the journal Intelligence, the study may be the first to examine the relationship between intelligence, music talent and growth mindset (referring to whether students believe they can improve basic abilities).
“The strongest factor of skill acquisition(习得) is intelligence, followed by music talent,” said Alexander Burgoyne, the leader of the study. “By contrast, the relevance between growth mindset and piano performance is as close to zero as possible.”
In the study, 161 undergraduates were taught how to play “Happy Birthday” on the piano with the help of a video guide. There were striking differences in the students’ skill acquisition process. Some learned quickly, earning perfect marks within six minutes of practice. Others performed poorly at first but improved considerably later. By comparison, some seemed to have lost their motivation and others never figured it out, performing poorly throughout the study. So why did some students fail while others succeeded? To find out, the researchers gave the students tests that measured things like problem-solving skills and processing speed, and tests that measured music talent. They also surveyed their growth mindset.
Burgoyne said, “The results were surprising, because people had previously claimed that mindset plays an important role when students are faced with challenges, like trying to learn a new musical instrument. And yet, it didn’t suit skill acquisition. That said, results will possibly differ for those with greater skills.” He added, “Our study examined only one of the earliest stages of skill acquisition. Early experiences can be important, but I would warn against drawing conclusions about skilled musicians based on our study of beginners.”
But applied generally, the study’s findings may be helpful in education. According to a recent review of mindset research, methods designed to gain some achievement by encouraging children to believe they can improve their basic abilities may be fruitless.
22. What does the study by Burgoyne intend to find out?
A. How students can play the piano best.
B. What matters most in beginner pianists’ skill acquisition.
C. Why talent is essential as a beginner pianist.
D. What causes the difficulty for beginners to learn the piano.
23. What does the study show about basic skill acquisition?
A. It has little relationship with mindset. B. It requires outstanding music talent.
C. It requires fast processing speed. D. It depends on problem-solving skills.
24. Which of the following might Burgoyne agree with?
A. Learning musical instrument isn’t easy.
B. Methods are necessary for learning.
C. Mindset is key to one’s musical achievements.
D. His finding can’t apply to skilled musicians.
25. Which plays the most significant role for beginner pianists according to the passage?
A. Mindset.
B. Intelligence.
C. Talent.
D. Skill.
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。有两项为多余选项。
How Do You Motivate Seniors to Use Technology?
Caring for an elderly loved one isn’t easy. And motivating your loved ones to welcome tech with open arms can feel like herding (放牧) cats. Before you give up on them, remember that it’s not about forcing them. 26 Here are some suggestions for how to approach with patience and a focus on the benefits.
Start with the “Why”. Don’t just tell them to “get with the times”. Explain why learning a new skill is worthwhile. Will it help them connect with family? Access important information? Take up a hobby? Make their lives easier? 27
Find their sweet spot(最有效点). Not every senior wants to be an online influencer. Offer your tech suggestions based on their interests and needs. Does your dad love history? Show him how to access online documentaries. 28 Introduce her to online groups to share her favorite hobbies with others.
29 Did grandma finally send her first text message? Did grandpa figure out how to turn on the air conditioner on his smart home device? Make a big deal out of it! Positive small reinforcement (强化) goes a long way toward building confidence and motivation.
Be patient. Learning takes time, especially for those who didn’t grow up with technology. Show patience and understanding. 30 Use simple, relatable language. And remember, a little humor never hurts!
A. Celebrate small wins.
B. Make it fun and engaging.
C. Does your mom like shopping?
D. Is your grandma a social butterfly?
E. Be willing to explain things many times.
F. Paint a picture of these benefits, not just the features.
G. It’s about showing them how tech can improve their lives.

Jack and his younger sister, Mary, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们).
One day, Jack took Mary’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Mary agreed and the two decided to share Jack’s running shoes. Mary’s school hours were in the morning, while Jack’s in the afternoon, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jack. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jack often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jack learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Jack had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to get painful. Getting more and more tired he thought only of Mary and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as Jack got close to the finish line, another runner collided (碰撞) with him from behind and he crashed to the ground.
注意:
1.续写词数应为130左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jack looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.
Filled with happiness, Jack walked home quickly.

One possible version
Jack looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Regardless of the pain from his knee injury, he clenched his teeth and jumped to his feet immediately, refusing to give up in this extremely important point. Driven by the belief that he must perform his promise to his sister, he ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finish line. Jack couldn’t help crying, because he knew his sister would feel disappointed. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for (取消资格) breaking the rule and Jack won the third prize! He felt overjoyed and relieved during the award ceremony (颁奖典礼), with the attractive shoes held close to his chest.
Filled with happiness, Jack walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and brought her what she was eagerly expecting. On his arrival, Jack found Mary walking back and forth (来回地) outside anxiously. “Mary! See what I have got for you!” Jack yelled excitedly with his lips curved into a broad smile while taking the prize out of his bag with great pride. The minute Mary saw the shoes, her face lit up, her eyes glowing with happiness. Meanwhile, noticing the mark of his injured knee, the little girl threw herself at her dear brother and sobbed “Thank you for what you have done for me, Jack!” Jack gently patted his sister’s shoulder, murmuring, “No worries.” With the two hugging together tightly, the air was filled with warmth and love within family, building the most beautiful chapter of their lives.
