【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了地处偏僻、约有600人口的Circle镇，其居民常依赖当地图书馆获取资源、建立联系。由于多年干旱，镇上年轻人一度外流，图书馆主要服务老年群体。如今年轻人开始回流，图书馆馆长Mary James利用美国图书馆协会的资金，通过开展社区音乐相关活动，助力小镇恢复活力的故事。 16．考查动词短语辨析。句意：Circle镇的居民经常把当地图书馆当作获取资源、建立联系和巩固关系的地方。A. set up建立，设立；B. pass by经过，路过；C. depend on依赖，依靠；D. run into偶遇，撞上。根据上文“The town of Circle is isolated and has about 600 people”，结合下文“a place to find resources, build connections”可知，偏僻小镇的居民对图书馆有较强的需求，需要“依赖”图书馆满足这些需求。故选C。 17．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Circle镇的居民经常把当地图书馆当作获取资源、建立联系和巩固关系的地方。A. define定义，界定；B. strengthen巩固，加强；C. represent代表，象征；D. determine决定，确定。空格处与“find resources”（获取资源）、“build connections”（建立联系）为并列关系，均表示图书馆对居民的积极作用。“relationships”（关系）需搭配“巩固”和“加强”类动词，“strengthen relationships”（巩固关系）符合语境。故选B。 18．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Mary James是George McCone纪念县图书馆的馆长，该图书馆为Circle镇服务。A. serves服务，为……提供服务；B. becomes成为，变得；C. owns拥有，占有；D. features以……为特色，具有。根据上文“Mary James is the library director at George McCone Memorial County Library”（Mary James是George McCone纪念县图书馆的馆长），结合常识，图书馆的核心功能是为特定区域居民提供服务，“serves the town of Circle”（为Circle镇服务）符合图书馆的本质属性。故选A。 19．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：Circle镇对图书馆有极大的需求，该图书馆经常重点服务镇上的老年人口。A. young年轻的，青年的；B. growing增长的，发展的；C. total总的，全部的；D. aging年老的，老龄化的。根据下文“The younger folks had been  ____5____ the town for decades”可知，镇上年轻人数量持续减少，剩余人口以老年人为主，因此图书馆的服务重点自然指向“老年人口”，与下文信息形成逻辑呼应。故选D。​​ 20．考查动词词义辨析。句意：几十年来，年轻人一直在离开这个小镇，此前一系列的干旱让这个农业社区难以恢复。A. developing发展，开发；B. painting绘画，描绘；C. leaving离开，离去；D. surrounding围绕，包围。根据下文“following a series of droughts that left the farming community  ____6____  to recover”可知，农业社区因干旱陷入发展困境，必然导致年轻人“离开”小镇寻求更好的发展机会，且下文“Recently, younger people have ____7____ to return”的“回流”也反向印证了此前“离开”的动作。故选C。 21．考查动词词义辨析。句意：几十年来，年轻人一直在离开这个小镇，此前一系列的干旱让这个农业社区难以恢复。A. attempting尝试，试图；B. struggling努力，艰难地做；C. happening发生，出现；D. appearing出现，显现。根据上文“a series of droughts”和 “farming community”的语境，干旱对农业生产具有毁灭性打击，社区恢复过程必然充满艰难，“struggling to recover”（艰难地恢复）精准体现了这一困境。故选B。 22．考查动词词义辨析。句意：最近，年轻人开始回流，James利用美国图书馆协会（ALA）的资金，帮助Circle镇重新焕发活力。A. promised承诺，答应；B. remembered记得，想起；C. started开始，着手；D. hesitated犹豫，迟疑。根据上文“The younger folks had been  ____5____ the town for decades”，“recently”标志着时间上的转折，说明年轻人的流动方向发生改变，“started to return”（开始回流）准确体现了“从持续离开到重新回归”的逻辑变化。故选C。 23．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：第一步是让社区对一件每个人都能学着去热爱的事情感到兴奋：音乐。A. excited兴奋的，激动的；B. worried担心的，担忧的；C. careful小心的，仔细的；D. confident自信的，有信心的。根据下文“something everyone can learn to love: music”，“热爱”的事物必然能引发积极的情感反应，“excited

“足够了”，完美契合“数量少但效果达标” 的逻辑。故选B。​​ 26．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：只有10人参加，但这已经足够了，因为这次讨论产生了几个关键想法，其中之一就是为音乐课程和乐谱提供微型贷款的项目。A. similar相似的，类似的；B. crazy疯狂的，狂热的；C. abstract抽象的，理论的；D. crucial关键的，重要的。根据下文“one of which was a micro-lending program”以及“The micro-lessons were a(n)  ____17____ , but James still has other ideas about how she can use the funds”，可知讨论会产生的想法最终成功落地并产生效果，这说明这些想法具有“关键”且“重要”的属性。故选D。​​ 27．考查名词词义辨析。句意：只有10人参加，但这已经足够了，因为这次讨论产生了几个关键想法，其中之一就是为音乐课程和乐谱提供微型贷款的项目。A. history历史，历史学；B. music音乐，乐曲；C. science科学，理科；D. language语言，言语。根据上文“The first step is to get the community ____8____ about

and sheet music”，以及“from other town members”和微型贷款项目“降低参与门槛”（针对没有金钱的人群）的背景，乐谱若为“购买” 则会增加经济负担，与项目初衷相悖，而“borrowed from”（从…… 借来）则完美契合“低成本参与”的语境。故选D。 32．考查名词词义辨析。句意：微型课程取得了成功，但James还有其他想法，比如如何利用这笔资金推进镇上的音乐计划，例如组建合唱团。A. success成功，成就；B. business生意，商业；C. example例子，榜样；D. excuse借口，理由。根据上文“Folks could simply sign up for a lesson or two and begin

launch发起，启动；B. praise表扬，赞扬；C. approve批准，认可；D. advance推进，促进。根据上文“The micro-lessons were a(n)  ____17____ , but James still has other ideas about how she can use the funds”和下文“such as creating a choir”，微型课程已成功落地，后续计划应是在现有基础上“进一步发展”。故选D。 34．考查动词词义辨析。句意：George McCone图书馆现有的少量资金根本不足以满足所有期望。A. share分享，分担；B. meet满足，达到；C. resist抵抗，抗拒；D. assess评估，评价。根据上文“using funds from American Library Association (ALA), James has helped breathe life back into Circle”，“meet all expectations”（满足所有期望）为常用表达，精准体现了“资金短缺无法覆盖需求”的核心含。故选B。 35．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但在美国图书馆协会（ALA）资金的帮助下，Mary James和George McCone图书馆正朝着正确的方向迈进。A. exception例外，除外；B. result结果，后果；C. help帮助，援助；D. level水平，程度。根据上文“using funds from American Library Association (ALA), James has helped breathe life back into

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A From roller coasters to adventure tours performances to experiments, there are plenty of exciting attractions in the UK. Here is our pick of the best attractions that children can visit. The Natural History Museum Why go: This really is the grandfather of all London museums — the beauty of the building and the amazing exhibits. Look out for the whale skeleton (骨架) occupying the entry hall, but don’t miss the largest piece of gold (or a model of it)in the minerals gallery. You can easily spend a day here — tasty steaks, sandwiches and pizzas. Try to avoid weekends, because the crowds are larger. Best for: Children aged 5 and over. If time is limited, families should go quickly and directly towards the dinosaur gallery, because it’s really wonderful. Details: Entry is free, although there is a charge for some temporary exhibitions. Legoland Why go: Some 80 million Lego bricks have gone into the creation of this colourful park. There are thrilling rides and countless ways to spend money in shops. Yes, the queues can be long (unless you pay extra for the queue-jumping equipment, which is useful though it does not cover all rides). Best for: Legoland is aimed at children under 10s, with pre-schoolers particularly well catered for in Duplo Valley. Details: £32 per person; under 3s go free. 25 per cent discount for booking online more than seven days in advance. Warner Bros Studio Tour London — The Making of Harry Potter Why go: You’ve read the books, you’ve watched the films, but no Harry Potter fan will want to miss the chance to go behind the scenes at the film studios where all eight of the movies were made. Sharing the secrets behind the most successful film series of all time and yet still managing to keep the sense of magic alive, this studio tour gives visitors access to two locations filled with original sets and costumes.

The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any. Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations. They bought computers for police officers, and they sold cookies to raise money for sick children. Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. “That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,” Jake, now 15 says. “We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’” Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit (非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast. It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey. “Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,” she says. “Now this summer, I want to help people around me, and I hope I can teach other kids, too. It’s cool that kids just like me can do something to help others.” The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered (注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019. “Someday, we’d love to reach a million hours,” notes Max, who hopes to continue running Kids That Do Good with Jake when they both go off to college. 41．What can we learn about the Kleins when they were kids? A．They loved to help others. B．They were in need of help. C．They found it easy to collect money. D．They always gave their parents presents. 42．When did the Kleins decide to create a way to show kids are helpful? A．When they used up all the money in the piggy bank. B．When they were refused by the soup kitchen. C．When they raised money for the government. D．When they found there was a world in need. 43．Why did the Kleins start a website? A．To share wonderful kids’ stories. B．To raise money for young people. C．To encourage others to give back. D．To discover kids’ natural abilities. 44．What do Somerstein’s words show about the Kleins? A．She is worried about them. B．She speaks highly of them. C．She wants to challenge them. D．She loves teaching for them. 45．What can we infer about the Kleins’ website? A．It is developing fast. B．It faces an uncertain future. C．It has made millions of dollars. D．It has covered the whole world. 【答案】41．A 42．B 43．C 44．B 45．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了双胞胎兄弟Jake和Max从小就致力于做慈善，后来他们成立了一个名为Kids That Do Good的非营利性网站，帮助年轻人做慈善工作。 41．推理判断题。根据第一段“Jake and Max Klein were 4 years old when they first realized there was a world in need outside the front door of their home in Edgewater, New Jersey.(Jake Klein和Max Klein 在4岁时第一次意识到在新泽西州埃奇沃特的家门口之外有一个需要帮助的世界。)”、第二段“The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any.(这对双胞胎兄弟从他们的小猪存钱罐里拿出所有的钱，问他们的父母Mark Klein和Sandy Rubinstein他们是否可以给那些没任何期待的孩子买生日礼物。)”、第三段中的“Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations.(然后，在6岁的时候，男孩们宣布，他们想把通常花在生日礼物上的钱捐给慈善捐款。)”等可推知，Max和Jake兄弟俩小的时候喜欢帮助别人。故选A。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. ‘That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,’ Jake, now 15 says.(然后，他们在8岁时了解到，他们太小了，不能在镇上的施食处做志愿者。‘就在那时，我们决定必须想出一种方法，把事情掌握在自己手中，’现年15岁的Jake说。)”可知，当Max和Jake兄弟俩被镇上的施食处拒绝时，他们决定自己创造出一个方法，以此来表明孩子也可以帮助。故选B。 43．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’(我们想，‘我们能做些什么来证明孩子们能够有所作为，做得比预期的更多？’)”和第五段中的“Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit(非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast.(去年，他和Max，现在正在莱昂尼亚高中读十年级，创办了Kids That Do Good，这是一个非营利网站，列出了数百种让年轻人参与慈善工作的方式)”可知，他们创办Kids That Do Good这一非营利网站是为了证明孩子也能够有所作为，帮助年轻人做慈善，由此可推测出，他们想要鼓励其他人参与慈善工作，回馈社会。故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据第六段“It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey.(这是一个受很多人欢迎的经验，包括住在新泽西州Klein家附近的9岁的Sophia Somerstein。)”和第七段的“‘Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,’ she says.(她说：‘Max和Jake鼓励我帮忙收集食物，我真的很喜欢让别人的生活变得更好的感觉。’)”可推测出，她对Max和Jake两个兄弟评价很高。故选B。 45．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered(注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019.(Klein兄弟最近开始为在他们的网站上注册的孩子们(到目前为止约有3000人)发起一项挑战，跟踪他们的志愿者时间，目标是到2019年底达到100000人。)”可知，两个兄弟发起一项挑战，跟踪注册他们网站的孩子们所贡献的志愿者时间，并设置了2019年底要达到的目标，由此可推测出，该网站发展迅速。故选A。 C The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的）skill. However，while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said. Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换）“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 46．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A．The absence of blackboard in classroom. B．The use of new technologies in teaching. C．The lack of practice in handwriting. D．The popular use of smartphones. 47．Berninger’s study published in 2009 . A．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer. B．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper. C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences. D．discussed the importance of writing speed. 48．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling? A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words. B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 49．What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Window. B．Soul C．Picture. D．Imagination. 50．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? A．Computers can help people with their choice of words. B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching. C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms. D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. 【答案】46．B 47．A 48．B 49．D 50．C 【分析】这是一篇说明文。随着现代科技的发展，书写渐渐被人们所忽视。但是Berninger的研究表明，书写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地。 46．细节理解题。根据第一段“With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.（随着像电脑和智能手机的使用，书写已经成为了人们怀旧的东西）。所以教学中使用新技术使得手写成为过去。故选B项。 47．细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand.（Berninger和她的同事做了个研究，想看看学生用电脑和用手工完成各种写的任务的情况）可知，伯宁格在2009年发表的研究集中在手写和电脑书写的区别上。故选A项。 48．细节理解题。根据第四段首句“In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write.（在更近的一次研究中，Berninge想看看拼写在学生写作技巧中所发挥的什么作用，结果发现字写得好的孩子文章也写得好）。所以拼写能力与写作能力密切相关能说明拼写的作用。故选B项。 49．词义猜测题。根据第五段“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换）“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said.”可知，拼写帮助学生把想法转化为他们思想中的文字，再把思想中的文字转换到纸上。所以看到想象中的文字，不仅能帮助孩子们把想法变成文字，而且能发现拼写错误并改正它们。故判断出换线的词语为“想象”。故选D项。 50．推理判断题。通断全文可知，首段说明随着新技术的到来，手写已经成为过去，之后文章中部提到手写的好处。根据最后一段进一步阐明书写的重要根据最后一段“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”在我们的计算机时代，有些人认为我们不必教拼写，因为我们有拼写检查，”她说。“但是直到孩子的功能拼写能力达到五年级的水平，他们才知道如何在计算机提供的选项中选择正确的拼写。由此判断出“书写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地”。故选C项。 D A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 51．How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A．By using different particle states. B．By improving chemical reactions. C．By adding more storage units. D．By reducing the battery size. 52．Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A．To make the conventional battery system efficient. B．To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C．To simplify the conventional charging process. D．To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 53．What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A．Their value remains to be proven. B．Their performance is difficult to judge. C．Their practical application is challenging. D．Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 54．What will Tan’s team probably do next? A．Put the battery into a quantum computer. B．Build a new classical heat engine. C．Make their charging methods better. D．Link the battery to a heat engine. 55．What is the main idea of the text? A．The status and future of conventional batteries. B．The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C．The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D．The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. 【答案】51．A 52．D 53．C 54．D 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了量子电池的储能原理、研究进展、潜在优势以及实际应用面临的挑战。 【详解】51．细节理解题。根据第二段“Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits. Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition.(传统电池通过化学反应储存能量。而量子电池则依赖一种叫作量子比特的微观粒子。这类电池不依靠化学物质，而是利用这些粒子同时处于多种状态的特性来储存能量——这种现象被称为叠加态)”可知，传统电池通过化学反应储能，量子电池依靠量子比特的粒子叠加态，即不同粒子状态的储能。故选A。 52．细节理解题。根据第五段“The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently(研究人员测试了两种不同的充电方法。一种工作方式类似于传统电池，而第二种则利用了量子比特之间的相互作用。该团队发现，第二种方法能让电池充电效率更高)”可知，团队测试两种充电方式是为了探索量子相互作用的优势。故选D。 53．细节理解题。根据第六段“Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear.(尽管这些实验室成果前景可观，但要将其转化为实际应用优势仍颇具挑战。 捷克查理大学的Dominik Safranek表示：“很难将传统电池与量子电池进行比较。”在他看来，从实验室突破走向日常消费产品的道路仍不明确)可知，Dominik Safranek认为量子电池实际应用具有挑战性。故选C。 54．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine.(如今，研究人员想要将他们研制的电池与量子热机结合起来)”可知，团队下一步会将电池与量子热引擎连接。故选D。 55．主旨大意题。文章第一段“A quantum battery has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies.(研究人员在量子计算机中研制出了量子电池，这标志着人类在探索它未来能否为量子技术供电方面迈出了重要一步)”是主旨句，后文围绕量子电池的原理、潜力与应用挑战展开，说明它有优势但实用化仍面临困难，由此可知，文章主要讲述了量子电池的潜力与挑战。故选B。 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 I grew up in a small, remote village in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. My world was very small and I only knew a few professions and as I started my first grade in primary school, the only profession that I knew was teaching. Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition. A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. This is the reason why when I started high school, all I wanted to do was be a medical doctor. I hoped to take mostly science subjects in high school and then proceed to university to study medicine. However, things didn’t go the way I expected. I could not take science subjects because they were not offered at my high school. At first I was very disappointed and depressed. I thought that my dreams had been shattered once again, but a little while later, I realized that this was a blessing: I had been given a chance to explore my options a little further than that. As I completed high school and was preparing to go to college, my greatest attention was focused on accounting. Naturally, the subject becomes my best subject now at college. Now I am an accounting major but I wish to declare finance a major as well. I value the importance of business in society very much. I want to be a financial advisor in the future. To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. While I wish to achieve this, I agree that there is room for me to explore other opportunities, too. Our ambitions always change with new circumstances, new environments and as we get to know how big the world really is. 56．What did the author want to be when he started his first grade in primary school? (no more than 6 words) 57．Why did the author want to be a medical doctor later? (no more than 13 words) 58．What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) 59．What is the author doing to achieve his dream of being a financial advisor? (no more than 10 words) 60．What’s your dream as a teenager? And why do you have the dream? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．He wanted to be a teacher. 57．Because he was inspired by a young man from his village. 58．Broken. / Ended. / Destroyed. / Ruined 59．He is studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. 60．(open) I want to be a teacher, because I think teachers are kind, patient, and wise. / I dream to be a doctor to help sick people around me. 【导语】文章主要讲述了津巴布韦乡村作者的理想几经变化，从教师到医生，最终立志成为金融顾问，并明白理想会随境遇改变。 【详解】56．考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition. (因此，在那个时候，成为一名老师是我的理想。)”可知，作者上小学一年级时想成为一名老师。 57．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. (几年后，村里一位年轻人成了医生。我羡慕他的生活方式，他的成就激励了我，也成了我的榜样。)”可知，他村里一位年轻人的成就激励他想当医生。 58．考查词句猜测。由文章第三段中“At first I was very disappointed and depressed. (起初我十分失望消沉。)”可知，无法选理科让作者梦想破灭，shattered意为“破碎的，被毁的”。 59．考查细节理解。由文章倒数第二段中“To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. (为了实现梦想，如今我努力学习，积累更多金融相关知识。)”可知，为实现金融顾问的梦想，他努力学习金融知识。 60．开放性题目，此题要求回答：你的青少年梦想是什么？为什么有这个梦想？(不超过20词)答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：I want to be a teacher, because I think teachers are kind, patient, and wise. / I dream to be a doctor to help sick people around me. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假设你校英文报《Youth Voice》正在举办以“Turning Challenges into Stepping Stones”为主题的征文活动，旨在分享同学们如何积极应对成长中的挑战。请你根据以下要点，写一篇短文投稿。 1. 描述一个你或你身边的人（如朋友、同学）最近遇到的具体挑战。（例如：学业压力、与新朋友交往的困难、学习新技能的挫折、公开演讲的恐惧等）。 2. 详细阐述应对这个挑战所采取的具体方法和步骤。（例如：如何制定计划、寻求帮助、调整心态等）。 3. 分享你从这次经历中获得的感悟和体会。（例如：学到了什么品质、对困难有了怎样的新认识等）。 注意：1. 词数不少于100，注意时态。 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Turning Challenges into Stepping Stones _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】                                               Turning Challenges into Stepping Stones     In life, we all encounter challenges, and my friend Tom was no exception.

Circle residents often 16 their local library as a place to find resources, build connections and 17 relationships. Mary James is the library director at George McCone Memorial County Library, which 18 the town of Circle. Circle has a profound need for its library, which often focuses on serving the town’s 19 population. The younger folks had been 20 the town for decades, following a series of droughts that left the farming community 21 to recover. Recently, younger people have 22 to return, and, using funds from American Library Association (ALA), James has helped breathe life back into Circle. The first step is to get the community 23 about something everyone can learn to love: music. To begin, the library 24 a community conversation focused on what the town could do. Only 10 people attended, but that was 25 because the conversation produced several 26 ideas, one of which was a micro-lending program for 27 lessons and sheet music. The lessons would be short, 28 as single lessons or pairs of lessons for community members who didn’t have time, money or other 29 . Folks could simply sign up for a lesson or two and begin to 30 with others taking music lessons, using sheet music 31 from other town members. The micro-lessons were a(n) 32 , but James still has other ideas about how she can use the funds to 33 the town’s music initiatives, such as creating a choir (合唱队). The small amount of money that George McCone has simply isn’t enough to 34 all expectations.

Here is our pick of the best attractions that children can visit. The Natural History Museum Why go: This really is the grandfather of all London museums — the beauty of the building and the amazing exhibits. Look out for the whale skeleton (骨架) occupying the entry hall, but don’t miss the largest piece of gold (or a model of it)in the minerals gallery. You can easily spend a day here — tasty steaks, sandwiches and pizzas. Try to avoid weekends, because the crowds are larger. Best for: Children aged 5 and over. If time is limited, families should go quickly and directly towards the dinosaur gallery, because it’s really wonderful. Details: Entry is free, although there is a charge for some temporary exhibitions. Legoland Why go: Some 80 million Lego bricks have gone into the creation of this colourful park. There are thrilling rides and countless ways to spend money in shops. Yes, the queues can be long (unless you pay extra for the queue-jumping equipment, which is useful though it does not cover all rides). Best for: Legoland is aimed at children under 10s, with pre-schoolers particularly well catered for in Duplo Valley. Details: £32 per person; under 3s go free. 25 per cent discount for booking online more than seven days in advance. Warner Bros Studio Tour London — The Making of Harry Potter Why go: You’ve read the books, you’ve watched the films, but no Harry Potter fan will want to miss the chance to go behind the scenes at the film studios where all eight of the movies were made. Sharing the secrets behind the most successful film series of all time and yet still managing to keep the sense of magic alive, this studio tour gives visitors access to two locations filled with original sets and costumes. Best for: Children aged 7 and over and anyone with an interest in filmmaking. Details: £39 adults; £31 children; under 4s go free. 36．What can we know about the natural history museum?

D．An adult with a three-year-old child should pay 70 pounds to visit the studio tour. B Jake and Max Klein were 4 years old when they first realized there was a world in need outside the front door of their home in Edgewater, New Jersey. The twin brothers took all of the money out of their piggy banks and asked their parents, Mark Klein and Sandy Rubinstein, if they could buy birthday gifts for kids who weren’t expecting any. Then, at age 6, the boys announced that they wanted money usually spent on their birthday presents to go to charitable donations. They bought computers for police officers, and they sold cookies to raise money for sick children. Then they learned at age 8 that they were too young to volunteer at their town’s soup kitchen. “That’s when we decided we’d have to come up with a way to take things into our own hands,” Jake, now 15 says. “We thought, ‘What can we do to show that kids are able to make a difference and do more than is expected?’” Last year, he and Max, now going into the 10th grade at Leonia High School, started Kids That Do Good, a nonprofit (非营利性的) website that lists hundreds of ways for young people to get involved in charitable work, coast-to-coast. It’s a lesson that has caught on with many, including 9-year-old Sophia Somerstein, who lives near the Kleins in New Jersey. “Max and Jake encouraged me to help collect food and I really loved the feeling of making somebody’s life better,” she says. “Now this summer, I want to help people around me, and I hope I can teach other kids, too. It’s cool that kids just like me can do something to help others.” The Kleins recently started a challenge for kids registered (注册) on their website (about 3,000 so far) to track their volunteer hours, with the goal of topping 100,000 by the end of 2019. “Someday, we’d love to reach a million hours,” notes Max, who hopes to continue running Kids That Do Good with Jake when they both go off to college. 41．What can we learn about the Kleins when they were kids? A．They loved to help others. B．They were in need of help. C．They found it easy to collect money. D．They always gave their parents presents. 42．When did the Kleins decide to create a way to show kids are helpful? A．When they used up all the money in the piggy bank. B．When they were refused by the soup kitchen. C．When they raised money for the government. D．When they found there was a world in need. 43．Why did the Kleins start a website? A．To share wonderful kids’ stories. B．To raise money for young people. C．To encourage others to give back. D．To discover kids’ natural abilities. 44．What do Somerstein’s words show about the Kleins? A．She is worried about them. B．She speaks highly of them. C．She wants to challenge them. D．She loves teaching for them. 45．What can we infer about the Kleins’ website? A．It is developing fast. B．It faces an uncertain future. C．It has made millions of dollars. D．It has covered the whole world. C The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的）skill. However，while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life. Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said. Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换）“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 46．What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A．The absence of blackboard in classroom. B．The use of new technologies in teaching. C．The lack of practice in handwriting. D．The popular use of smartphones. 47．Berninger’s study published in 2009 . A．focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer. B．indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper. C．found that good essays are made up of long sentences. D．discussed the importance of writing speed. 48．Which of the following best shows the role of spelling? A．Spelling improves one’s memory of words. B．Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C．Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D．Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 49．What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Window. B．Soul C．Picture. D．Imagination. 50．What conclusion could be drawn from the passage? A．Computers can help people with their choice of words. B．Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching. C．Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms. D．Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade. D A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 51．How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A．By using different particle states. B．By improving chemical reactions. C．By adding more storage units. D．By reducing the battery size. 52．Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A．To make the conventional battery system efficient. B．To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C．To simplify the conventional charging process. D．To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 53．What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A．Their value remains to be proven. B．Their performance is difficult to judge. C．Their practical application is challenging. D．Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 54．What will Tan’s team probably do next? A．Put the battery into a quantum computer. B．Build a new classical heat engine. C．Make their charging methods better. D．Link the battery to a heat engine. 55．What is the main idea of the text? A．The status and future of conventional batteries. B．The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C．The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D．The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 I grew up in a small, remote village in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. My world was very small and I only knew a few professions and as I started my first grade in primary school, the only profession that I knew was teaching. Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition. A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. This is the reason why when I started high school, all I wanted to do was be a medical doctor. I hoped to take mostly science subjects in high school and then proceed to university to study medicine. However, things didn’t go the way I expected. I could not take science subjects because they were not offered at my high school. At first I was very disappointed and depressed. I thought that my dreams had been shattered once again, but a little while later, I realized that this was a blessing: I had been given a chance to explore my options a little further than that. As I completed high school and was preparing to go to college, my greatest attention was focused on accounting. Naturally, the subject becomes my best subject now at college. Now I am an accounting major but I wish to declare finance a major as well. I value the importance of business in society very much. I want to be a financial advisor in the future. To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. While I wish to achieve this, I agree that there is room for me to explore other opportunities, too. Our ambitions always change with new circumstances, new environments and as we get to know how big the world really is. 56．What did the author want to be when he started his first grade in primary school?

D A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance. Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question. “Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.” Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world. Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear. Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer. 51．How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones? A．By using different particle states. B．By improving chemical reactions. C．By adding more storage units. D．By reducing the battery size. 52．Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods? A．To make the conventional battery system efficient. B．To find the best state for the quantum batteries. C．To simplify the conventional charging process. D．To explore the advantage of quantum interactions. 53．What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries? A．Their value remains to be proven. B．Their performance is difficult to judge. C．Their practical application is challenging. D．Their lab result seems unsuccessful. 54．What will Tan’s team probably do next? A．Put the battery into a quantum computer. B．Build a new classical heat engine. C．Make their charging methods better. D．Link the battery to a heat engine. 55．What is the main idea of the text? A．The status and future of conventional batteries. B．The potential and challenges of quantum batteries. C．The chemical principles behind conventional storage. D．The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging. 第二部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 I grew up in a small, remote village in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. My world was very small and I only knew a few professions and as I started my first grade in primary school, the only profession that I knew was teaching. Therefore, at that time, being a teacher was my ambition. A few years later, a young man from my village became a medical doctor. I admired his lifestyle. I was therefore inspired by his achievements and he became my role model. This is the reason why when I started high school, all I wanted to do was be a medical doctor. I hoped to take mostly science subjects in high school and then proceed to university to study medicine. However, things didn’t go the way I expected. I could not take science subjects because they were not offered at my high school. At first I was very disappointed and depressed. I thought that my dreams had been shattered once again, but a little while later, I realized that this was a blessing: I had been given a chance to explore my options a little further than that. As I completed high school and was preparing to go to college, my greatest attention was focused on accounting. Naturally, the subject becomes my best subject now at college. Now I am an accounting major but I wish to declare finance a major as well. I value the importance of business in society very much. I want to be a financial advisor in the future. To make my dream come true, now I am studying hard to gain more knowledge about finance. While I wish to achieve this, I agree that there is room for me to explore other opportunities, too. Our ambitions always change with new circumstances, new environments and as we get to know how big the world really is. 56．What did the author want to be when he started his first grade in primary school?
