He always plans some parties for customers. I’m sure he can help. Here’s his business card. Tell him that you are my assistant. W: Thanks a lot. I really hope he can arrange some Greek food.

The main point is our city’s future: our first subway line. It will run from east to west, making travel faster and easier for local people. If everything goes according to plan for 2025, we’ll be able to sign the necessary agreements in the following year. Then construction work on the line is expected to start in 2028. There are many advantages to this plan. The subway will reduce road traffic, which means fewer jams and less pollution. It will also provide a reliable and fast way for everyone to travel across the city. The subway will be a great help for those who work far from home. Of course, there will be some challenges during this process. Some roads will need to be closed, but we will provide extra bus services to help people get around. We are working on a plan to reduce trouble as much as possible. This subway line will be an important step in making our city a better place to live. Thank you. 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节：（共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个答案中选出最佳答案。 A Windermere Christmas Market Location: Victoria Street.

I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment we lived in was next to the Central Park. I could go for a run before I went to work every morning. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers (抢劫者) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $10 bill in my back pocket. While I was running through the park, another jogger ran into me. He apologized and continued running. I thought it was kind of strange, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up and took him by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he should give me the $10 bill. This seemed to frighten him, and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I began to tell my wife my story. “You won't believe what happened to me,” I started. She immediately stopped me, “1 know. You left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” 24. What can we learn about the park in the story? A. It was not a safe place to go to. B. It was far from the writer’s flat. C. It was not fit for morning jogging. D. It served delicious and cheap bread. 25. Why did the jogger give the money to the author? A. Because he stole the author’s money. B. Because he failed in the running race. C. Because he borrowed money from the author. D. Because he thought the author was a robber. 26. Which word can best describe the author? A. Careless. B. Generous. C. Careful. D. Brave. 27. What's the main idea of the text? A. Two female (女性的) joggers in New York. B. A funny story in the Central Park. C. Two robbers in the Central Park. D. A couple’s new life in New York 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在中央公园发生的一件滑稽事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers(抢劫者) in the park，I didn’t usually take anything with me.(因为很多人告诉我要小心公园里的强盗，我通常不会随身携带任何东西)”可推知，在这个公园里发生过抢劫的事情，所以这个公园是不安全的。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I started shouting and demanding that he should give me the $10 bill.This seemed to frighten him, and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could(我开始大喊大叫，要求他给我10美元。这似乎吓到了他，他迅速把手放进口袋，把钱给了我。然后他就尽快逃跑了)”可推知，这个慢跑的人认为作者是抢劫他，所以他给了作者10美元。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“She immediately stopped me, “1 know. You left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”(她立刻拦住我，“我知道，你把买面包的钱放在厨房桌子上了。”)”可知，作者把妻子让他买面包的钱落在了厨房的桌子上了。由此推知，作者是粗心的人。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了发生在作者身上的一件滑稽的事情。由此可知，A funny story in the Central Park.(发生在中央公园的滑稽事)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 C What did people do for fun before smartphones and computers were invented? After conducting research, I learned that Cantonese opera (粤剧) was the top form of entertainment in China for centuries. With singing and spoken lines delivered in the Cantonese dialect, Cantonese opera is one of several operatic types born in Guangdong province. To learn more about the art form, I spoke with Lui Hung-kwong, program director of the Cantonese Opera Academy of Hong Kong. He’s also a well-known performer. Here is something from our conversation. From the 19th century through the early 20th century, opera troupes (剧团) would perform along the Pearl River Delta in southern China. They lived on boats that were painted red and transported them to various temple festivals during the performance season. A troupe typically stayed in a city for a few days, performing different plays each day. By the 1930s, the major performing places for Cantonese opera had moved to big cities, and more convenient forms of transportation began to be used. As a result, the red boats began to disappear. In each opera production, the story is told through the “four basic skills” of singing, acting, delivery of spoken lines and martial arts. These are improved by stage makeup, costumes, props and the beats on gongs and drums. The performance is a mix of literature, drama, ballad singing, dance and martial arts. Cantonese opera is supposed to mirror real life. Older generations read the old stories, and listened to them on the radio. It was like pop culture to them. But our lives today differ greatly from the stories told in the opera. So Cantonese opera begins to tell some themes that will interest kids today. For example, a fairy fails an exam and is forced to come to the earth, where she must learn from human children. 28. Why does the author raise a question in the first paragraph? A. To question people. B. To cheer readers up. C. To lead into the topic of the text. D. To do research on people’s entertainment. 29. What is the whole text based on? A. The research done by the author. B. The author’s interview with an expert. C. The author’s personal life experiences. D. The author’s rich knowledge of the opera. 30. What do we know about Cantonese opera from Paragraph 3? A. Its development. B. Its character. C. Its importance. D. Its popularity. 31. What is Cantonese opera trying to do currently? A. Improve its quality. B. Mix with pop culture. C. Attract new generations. D. Reflect old people’s life. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了粤剧的历史和对人们的影响等。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“What did people do for fun before smartphones and computers were invented? After conducting research, I learned that Cantonese opera (粤剧) was the top form of entertainment in China for centuries. With singing and spoken lines delivered in the Cantonese dialect, Cantonese opera is one of several operatic types born in Guangdong province. (在智能手机和电脑发明之前，人们有什么娱乐活动?经过研究，我了解到，几个世纪以来，粤剧一直是中国最重要的娱乐形式。粤剧以广东方言演唱和口语，是广东诞生的几种歌剧类型之一。)”可知，作者在第一段提出一个问题目的是引出文章的主题，即粤剧的相关信息。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Here is something from our conversation. (下面是我们谈话中的一些内容。)”可知，全文基于作者对一位专家的采访。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“From the 19th century through the early 20th century, opera troupes (剧团) would perform along the Pearl River Delta in southern China. They lived on boats that were painted red and transported them to various temple festivals during the performance season. A troupe typically stayed in a city for a few days, performing different plays each day. By the 1930s, the major performing places for Cantonese opera had moved to big cities, and more convenient forms of transportation began to be used. As a result, the red boats began to disappear. (从19世纪到20世纪初，歌剧团会在中国南部的珠江三角洲一带演出。他们住在被漆成红色的船上，在演出季节将他们运送到各种寺庙的节日。一个剧团通常在一个城市停留几天，每天演出不同的剧目。到20世纪30年代，粤剧的主要表演场所已经转移到大城市，并且开始使用更方便的交通方式。结果，红船开始消失。)”可知，从第三段我们了解了粤剧的发展。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“So Cantonese opera begins to tell some themes that will interest kids today. (所以粤剧开始讲述一些今天孩子们感兴趣的主题。)”可知，粤剧目前想吸引孩子们，即想吸引新一代。故选C。 D Jason, a straight-A(全优) student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn’t actually accomplish much. This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort. The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’ re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work — it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it, and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring. In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive(认知的) science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the optimal learning time to maximize the material learned per time unit. So how can students manage to study efficiently? One key factor is captured in the following simple formula(公式): work accomplished=time spent× intensity(强度) of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach, on the other hand, maximizes intensity in order to minimize time. 32. What is a pseudo-worker described as? A. A poor monitor. B. An effective learner. C. A damaging cheater. D. An inefficient learner. 33. What may result from pseudo-working? A. Distracting straight-A students. B. Finishing task with less time. C. Mental exhaustion with little achievement. D. Decreased IQ. 34. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 5. mean? A. Longest. B. Best. C. Least. D. Shortest. 35. Why does the author mention the formula in the last paragraph? A. To show the benefit of working hard. B. To emphasize the importance of concentration. C. To prove the necessity of accomplishing work. D. To explain the reason for spending much time. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了伪勤奋的现象，即学生看似努力学习，但因缺乏专注而效率低下，导致时间浪费和精力消耗，并对比了全优学生的高效方法，强调专注强度对学习效果的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn’t actually accomplish much.(伪勤奋式学习者看起来和感觉上都很努力——他们花很长时间在图书馆里，不怕工作到深夜——但由于缺乏注意力和专注力，他们实际上并没有完成多少工作。)”可知，伪勤奋式学习者被描述为低效的学习者。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.(这些学生把自己置于令人分心的环境中，坚持长时间工作，损害了他们大脑清晰有效地思考以完成手头任务的能力。最后，他们事半功倍。)”可知，伪勤奋式学习者可能导致精神疲惫，毫无成就。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“to maximize the material learned per time unit(最大限度地提高单位时间内学习的材料)”可知，对于学习来说，提高效率非常重要，为了效率的最大化，50分钟的时间应该是“最适合的”或者“最佳的”，所以，“optimal”的意思与Best意义相近。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“One key factor is captured in the following simple formula: work accomplished=time spent× intensity of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach, on the other hand, maximizes intensity in order to minimize time.(一个关键因素体现在下面这个简单公式中：完成的工作量 = 花费的时间 × 专注程度。“伪勤奋式学习（伪工作）”的特点是专注程度极低。因此，若想通过“伪勤奋式学习（伪工作）”完成一些事情，你就需要花费大量时间。另一方面，尖子生（成绩全优的学生）采用的方法则是最大化提升专注程度，以尽量减少时间投入。)”可知，作者提到这个公式是为了强调专注的重要性，专注强度高才能在更少时间内完成更多工作。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。 How to Be Creative Most of us think that creativity is a quality (品质) belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. ___36___ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity. Get out of your comfort zone We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As said earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. ___37___ In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities. Try different things If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines (常规). If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. ___38___ Break your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is. ___39___ Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. ___40___ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life. A. Take action B. Seek several options C. Think from the other person’s point of view. D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree. E. We continue to create patterns for almost everything we do. F. The truth is that we are all born with the ability to be creative. G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. D 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何变得有创造力。 【36题详解】 依据上一句“Most of us think that creativity is a quality (品质) belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves.(我们大多数人认为创造力只是艺术家、作家或舞蹈家的一种品质，而不是我们自己的。)”可知，很多人认为创造力只属于艺术家、作家或舞蹈家，后面建议我们如何培养创造力，由此可推断出本句是讲每个人都有创造力，F选项“The truth is that we are all bom with the ability to be creative.(事实上，我们生来就有创造的能力。)”说明我们每个人都是有创造力的，承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【37题详解】 空前“As said earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns.(如前所述，人类的大脑是用来识别模式的)”说明大脑是用来识别模式的，因此空格处应该说我们可以创造模式，E选项“We continue to create patterns for almost everything we do.(我们继续为我们所做的几乎所有事情创造模式。)”说明了我们可以创造模式，其中的patterns和前面的patterns相一致，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 由本段小标题“Try different things(尝试不同的东西)”可知，本段主要讲述的是尝试做一些改变，D项“If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.(如果你通常在办公室吃午饭，那就在树下吃吧)”是一种改变，符合本段主旨，且与上文“If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. (如果你通常开车去上班，那就坐几天地铁)”在句式上保持一致，构成并列。故选D。 【39题详解】 空处是本段的小标题，由空格下方的“Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. (有一个伟大的想法是不够的，你必须努力使它成为现实。)”和“If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.(如果你能把它们付诸实践，你就能很好地在生活的各个方面提高你的创造力。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要行动起来，把一些好的想法变成现实，A选项“Take action(采取行动)”说明要采取行动，因此概括本段内容，可作为小标题，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据下文中的“The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.(梦想家和实干家的区别在于行动)”可知，梦想家只是想一想，而实干家不但想还去做，G选项“We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities.(我们都有伟大的想法，但只有少数人把他们的想法变成现实。)”说明了有的人只是想一想而已，只有少数人会去真正把自己想的事情做出来，引起下文，符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The “Wilderness Survival Challenge” in Zhangjiajie’s Qixing Mountain has become a big hit recently.

I would often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day Brian and I wandered into an electronics store. My eyes landed on a cool camera lens (镜头) — its metal body shone under the lights. As the school photographer, I needed it to take better photos for the newspaper. But it cost $50! Just as I leaned in for a closer look, Brian pulled my sleeve, whispering eagerly, “Look! The new adventure game I’ve been waiting for!” However, neither of us had enough pocket money. We left in disappointment. Several days later, our school had a pumpkin-carving contest. The first prize was $100, and I knew I could use the money to buy the lens. So I decided the first place bonus (奖金) definitely had to land in my pocket. When it was time to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, I suddenly realized my big, clumsy fingers would surely mess it up. I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands — he was the man for the job. I immediately asked Brian for help. After thinking for a while, he asked for a cut of the prize money, fifty-fifty, as he wanted to buy the game. I figured out that splitting the first prize would still leave me enough for the lens. So, I agreed. With skillful hands, Brian carved a perfect face, and we handed over the pumpkin, firmly believing we would win the first prize. On the day of the awards ceremony where the results would be announced, Brian was sick with a cold. I had to go to the awards ceremony alone. However, something unexpected happened: we got second place. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every dollar of that to buy the lens. When the principal gave the money to me, I received it with a heavy heart. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 When I came home, Brian asked if we had won. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the money we won, we went to the store the next day. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文一： When I came home, Brian asked if we had won. Clutching the 50-dollar bill, I hesitated under the soft living room lamp. I needed every dollar to buy the lens but Brian was the person who carved the pumpkin. Finally, I mumbled, “Second place, only fifty dollars.” My voice was laced with disappointment and I lowered my head, avoiding his expectant eyes. Then I tried to hand him the cash. Surprisingly, his small, warm hands pushed it back firmly. He smiled, hoarsely saying I should use the money to buy the lens and he could wait for his game, which eased my anxiety instantly. With the money we won, we went to the store the next day. The seller greeted us warmly. When I was about to grab the lens I’d longed for, I spotted Brian lingering by the game section, fingers brushing his desired game. Catching the longing in his eyes, I held out the prize money again and suggested buying the game first. But he refused. Brian led me to the counter, insisting I buy the lens. The lens felt cool in my palm, but my heart was warm. I finally realized: guardianship isn’t one-sided protection, but mutual care. Brian, my guardian angel, taught me true care is lifting each other up together. 参考范文二： When I came home, Brian asked if we had won. Clutching the 50-dollar bill, I hesitated under the soft living room lamp. I mumbled, “Second place, only fifty dollars.” His eyes dimmed at once, and he stared at his lap, looking disappointed — he’d been waiting for the game for a long time. Sensing his eagerness for the game, I held out the cash gently: “You buy the game first. I can wait for the lens.” My voice was soft, hoping to cheer him up. He lifted his head, surprise written on his face. With the money we won, we went to the store the next day. The seller greeted us warmly, and my gaze kept drifting to the camera lens I’d longed for. Brian noticed my lingering look — he knew how much I needed it for the school newspaper. He smiled, leading me to the counter, “Let’s get your lens first. I can wait for the game.” Touched deeply, I followed him and bought the desired lens. The lens felt cool in my palm, but my heart was warm. I realized: guardianship isn’t one-sided, but mutual care that lifts each other up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以兄弟守护为线索展开，讲述了“我”因身形强壮被母亲要求照顾体弱的哥哥Brian。雕南瓜比赛中，Brian用灵巧双手帮“我”雕刻参赛南瓜。当奖金缩水引发利益冲突时，Brian主动放弃自己渴望的游戏，让“我”购买摄影镜头，最终让“我”明白：真正的守护是双向的付出。（详解基于第一篇参考范文） 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我回到家，Brian问我们是否赢了。”可知，第一段可描写“我”回家后面对Brian询问的反应，“我”在愧疚与纠结中坦白二等奖的结果，本以为Brian会失落，却没想到他主动将奖金让给“我”买镜头，甘愿延后买游戏的计划，体现Brian的体贴。 ②由第二段首句内容“带着赢来的钱，我们第二天去了商店。”可知，第二段可描写两人去商店的经历，“我”准备买下心仪镜头，却看到Brian对渴望的游戏依依不舍，“我”再次提出先买游戏，Brian拒绝并带我去买了心仪镜头，“我”深受触动，最终领悟到守护是双向的付出。 2. 续写线索：“我”带50美元愧疚回家——“我”坦白二等奖结果——Brian主动相让奖金——“我”感动释怀——次日两人去商店买镜头——“我”发现Brian对游戏的渴望——“我”再次提议Brian先买游戏——Brian拒绝并带“我”买了镜头——“我”领悟双向守护的真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①紧握：clutch/grasp/seize/grab ②避免：avoid/keep away from/evade ③拒绝：refuse/decline/turn down ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①失望：disappointment/letdown/frustration ②忧虑：anxiety/apprehension/unease 【点睛】[高分句型1] I needed every dollar to buy the lens but Brian was the person who carved the pumpkin.

Keswick B A few years ago, my wife and I had a chance to live in New York for a year. I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment we lived in was next to the Central Park. I could go for a run before I went to work every morning. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers (抢劫者) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $10 bill in my back pocket. While I was running through the park, another jogger ran into me. He apologized and continued running. I thought it was kind of strange, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up and took him by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he should give me the $10 bill. This seemed to frighten him, and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home.

A couple’s new life in New York C What did people do for fun before smartphones and computers were invented? After conducting research, I learned that Cantonese opera (粤剧) was the top form of entertainment in China for centuries. With singing and spoken lines delivered in the Cantonese dialect, Cantonese opera is one of several operatic types born in Guangdong province. To learn more about the art form, I spoke with Lui Hung-kwong, program director of the Cantonese Opera Academy of Hong Kong. He’s also a well-known performer. Here is something from our conversation. From the 19th century through the early 20th century, opera troupes (剧团) would perform along the Pearl River Delta in southern China. They lived on boats that were painted red and transported them to various temple festivals during the performance season. A troupe typically stayed in a city for a few days, performing different plays each day. By the 1930s, the major performing places for Cantonese opera had moved to big cities, and more convenient forms of transportation began to be used. As a result, the red boats began to disappear. In each opera production, the story is told through the “four basic skills” of singing, acting, delivery of spoken lines and martial arts. These are improved by stage makeup, costumes, props and the beats on gongs and drums. The performance is a mix of literature, drama, ballad singing, dance and martial arts. Cantonese opera is supposed to mirror real life. Older generations read the old stories, and listened to them on the radio. It was like pop culture to them. But our lives today differ greatly from the stories told in the opera. So Cantonese opera begins to tell some themes that will interest kids today. For example, a fairy fails an exam and is forced to come to the earth, where she must learn from human children. 28. Why does the author raise a question in the first paragraph? A. To question people. B. To cheer readers up. C. To lead into the topic of the text. D. To do research on people’s entertainment. 29. What is the whole text based on? A. The research done by the author. B. The author’s interview with an expert. C. The author’s personal life experiences. D. The author’s rich knowledge of the opera. 30. What do we know about Cantonese opera from Paragraph 3? A. Its development. B. Its character. C. Its importance. D. Its popularity. 31. What is Cantonese opera trying to do currently? A. Improve its quality. B. Mix with pop culture. C. Attract new generations. D. Reflect old people’s life. D Jason, a straight-A(全优) student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn’t actually accomplish much. This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort. The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’ re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work — it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it, and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring. In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive(认知的) science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the optimal learning time to maximize the material learned per time unit. So how can students manage to study efficiently? One key factor is captured in the following simple formula(公式): work accomplished=time spent× intensity(强度) of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach, on the other hand, maximizes intensity in order to minimize time. 32. What is a pseudo-worker described as? A. A poor monitor. B. An effective learner. C. A damaging cheater. D. An inefficient learner. 33. What may result from pseudo-working? A. Distracting straight-A students. B. Finishing task with less time. C. Mental exhaustion with little achievement. D. Decreased IQ. 34. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 5. mean? A. Longest. B. Best. C. Least. D. Shortest. 35. Why does the author mention the formula in the last paragraph? A. To show the benefit of working hard. B. To emphasize the importance of concentration. C. To prove the necessity of accomplishing work. D. To explain the reason for spending much time. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。 How to Be Creative Most of us think that creativity is a quality (品质) belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. ___36___ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity. Get out of your comfort zone We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As said earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. ___37___ In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities.

If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. ___38___ Break your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is. ___39___ Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. ___40___ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life.

I would often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day Brian and I wandered into an electronics store. My eyes landed on a cool camera lens (镜头) — its metal body shone under the lights. As the school photographer, I needed it to take better photos for the newspaper. But it cost $50! Just as I leaned in for a closer look, Brian pulled my sleeve, whispering eagerly, “Look! The new adventure game I’ve been waiting for!” However, neither of us had enough pocket money. We left in disappointment. Several days later, our school had a pumpkin-carving contest. The first prize was $100, and I knew I could use the money to buy the lens. So I decided the first place bonus (奖金) definitely had to land in my pocket. When it was time to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, I suddenly realized my big, clumsy fingers would surely mess it up. I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands — he was the man for the job. I immediately asked Brian for help. After thinking for a while, he asked for a cut of the prize money, fifty-fifty, as he wanted to buy the game. I figured out that splitting the first prize would still leave me enough for the lens. So, I agreed. With skillful hands, Brian carved a perfect face, and we handed over the pumpkin, firmly believing we would win the first prize. On the day of the awards ceremony where the results would be announced, Brian was sick with a cold. I had to go to the awards ceremony alone. However, something unexpected happened: we got second place. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every dollar of that to buy the lens. When the principal gave the money to me, I received it with a heavy heart. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 When I came home, Brian asked if we had won.________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the money we won, we went to the store the next day._______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
