Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural. The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the highlight of my summers—what more can you ask from a food paradise? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, peering in. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners. In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already?” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak-my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang-gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist. 4. How did the author feel in the anecdote? A. Confused and scared. B. Embarrassed and nervous. C. Curious and surprised. D. Upset and puzzled. 5. Why did the author feel guilt according to Paragraph 2? A. Because she had to stay away from her family B. Because she didn’t enjoy speaking the language C. Bccause she had to accept what grandparents said D. Because she found it hard to understand the culture. 6. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A. She was a good language learner. B. She didn’t like being an Asian. C. She was judged unfairly in Malaysia D. She spoke English unconsciously in Malaysia. 7. From which column of the website does this article probably come from? A. Opinion B. News. C. Education. D. Humor 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作为马来西亚人的作者在语言表达上出现了“文化差异”，这带来尴尬和不理解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural.(呆呆地盯着说话的人，我嘴唇张开，脑海中的想法清晰，但无法用我不熟悉的语言表达自己的回答。在一个不舒服的停顿之后，一堆话从我的嘴里溢出，听起来很强迫，很不自然)”以及第二段中“The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago.(上面的轶事是几年前我在马来西亚的一次半对话)”可知，在这件事情中，作者不知道如何用恰当的语言去表达自己的想法，被迫说出一些很不自然的话，由此推知，作者会感到尴尬和紧张。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, peering in. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners.(每隔几个夏天，我就会有一个月的时间，去体验在自己的文化中做一个局外人的感觉。我是一个迷失在翻译中的女孩，被动地听着菜市场里摊位间各种各样的语言，在祖父母的大型家庭晚餐上安静地点头)”可知，作者作为马来西亚人，在面对自己文化时总有一种局外人的感觉，被动接受摊位上人们的话语以及聚餐时默默的回应着家人，由此可推断，作者感到愧疚的原因是发现自己不能理解自己的文化。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already?”(在马来西亚，我自然会说出“你吃过饭了吗？”，而不是想起马来西亚的对应句子“you makan already?”)”可知，作者在马来西亚说英语时，如同在美国一样是“无意识地”说出自己想表达的内容。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合首段中的““Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah? Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range.(“Lei ming m ming baak ngo gong ge waa ah？你明白我在说什么吗？”我呆呆地盯着说话的人，我的嘴唇张开，想法在我的脑海里清晰，但我的反应无法用一种遥远的语言来表达)”和第二段中的“For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture.(每隔几个夏天，我就会有一个月的时间，体会到在自己的文化中做一个局外人的感觉)”结合文章主要讲述了作为马来西亚人的作者在语言表达上出现了“文化差异”，这带来尴尬和不理解。由此可知，本文的主题与对语言文化的观点有关系，所以很可能出自网站的“观点”专栏。故选A项。 C “Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine. She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt. I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail. My daughter was right when she’d whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.” “Tell her,” I repeated with a gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist. The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression showing a little concern. “My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained. The cashier’s face lit up. “You do?” This led my little one out of her hiding place. She looked up and nodded. “Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights. My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own. As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter’s hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had been when we first entered her line. After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver’s seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I’m going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.” “You should, honey.” And she did. She still does. It’s a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it’s one of my favorite things about this girl. She learned, at a very young age, that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you can draw out the beauty of human connection. 8. Why was the author’s daughter nervous in the store? A. She was too shy to express herself. B. She was frightened of the cashier. C. She was unable to pay the groceries. D. She was unhappy to greet a stranger. 9. What made the cashier more energetic in her work? A. The working environment. B. The support of the customers. C. The praise from a little girl. D. The understanding of a mother. 10. What does the author probably think of her daughter now? A. Careful and generous. B. Smart and proud. C. Kind and independent. D. Lively and cheerful. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. The Beauty of Moral Sense B. The Power in Raising Others up C. A Girl’s New Way out of Trouble D. A Mother’s Love for Her Daughter 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者女儿对收银员的赞美让收银员感到快乐，给了收银员力量，通过这个故事让我们知道了我们的赞美能够给他人力量。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段内容“My daughter was right when she’d whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.””（我女儿对我耳语的时候是对的，“她的头发真漂亮。”）和第三段内容““Tell her,” I repeated with a gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist.”（“告诉她，”我轻轻推了推，重复道。当我的女孩紧张地用她的小拳头扭动我袖子的边缘时，她只把粉红色的脸颊深深地扎进我的身体。）可知，作者的女儿认为收银员的头发很漂亮，但她很紧张，很害羞，不敢告诉收银员，由此可知，作者的女儿在商店里感到紧张，因为她羞于表达自己。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段内容““Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights.”（“太感谢你了！你给了我美好的一天，”收银员笑着说，笑容灿烂，足以与她的亮点相媲美。）和第七段内容“Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had been when we first entered her line.”（她现在的精力明显比我们第一次进入她的队伍时更加充沛。）可知，女儿的赞美让收银员感到开心，让她的精力更加充沛，由此可知，来自一个小女孩的赞美让收银员在工作中更加精力充沛。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“It’s a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me.”（如果我们在公共场合旅行时，她没有告诉别人她爱他们的头发、指甲、衬衫或鞋子，这是很罕见的。老实说，我认为她甚至比我做得更多。）可知，女儿不再害羞，开始敢于在公共场合表达自己对别人的赞美，由此可推断出，作者现在认为女儿变得活泼开朗了。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第六段内容““Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights.”（“太感谢你了！你给了我美好的一天，”收银员笑着说，笑容灿烂，足以与她的亮点相媲美。）可知，本文讲述了作者女儿对收银员的赞美让收银员感到快乐，给了收银员力量，通过这个故事让我们知道了我们的赞美会给他人力量，“The Power in Raising Others up”意为“鼓舞他人的力量”，能概括文章主要内容。故选B项。 D Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect. In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory. Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts. A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australia suggests that it’s not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it’s the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might cause us to forget something that we need to buy.” Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode. The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you! 12. Which of the following would most probably be “doorway effect”? A. You missed a call and forgot to ring back. B. You read a book and forget what it is about. C. You entered the office and forgot what to get. D. You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. All memories are linked in the brain. B. Memories are clearly separated in the brain. C. Not all the memories can be found in the brain. D. Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain. 14. What can we infer from Baumann’s research? A. Taking an elevator stimulates new memory. B. Walking through open doors results in memory loss. C. A sudden change of the scene boosts intelligence development. D. An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect. 15. What does the author think of “doorway effect”? A. Insignificant. B. Beneficial. C. Influential. D. Damaging. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了门口效应（doorway effect）以及其产生的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, ‘What was I going to do?’ If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a ‘mental block’ in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.(你有没有穿过一扇门，心中在想：‘我是要去干什么？’如果你有，你并不孤单。心理学家认为，穿过一扇门进入另一个房间会在大脑中造成‘精神障碍’。这通常被称为门口效应)”可知，进入一个房间忘记自己要做的事情被称作门口效应。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.(在早期的大脑研究中，科学家们认为人类的记忆就像一个壁橱，有很多区域，我们可以在其中存储我们生活中的经历。盒子会永远留在那里，每当我们需要查看它们的时候，我们就可以去那个特定的区域，找到那个记忆盒子)”以及第三段中的“Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts.(这个关于人类记忆形成的描述听起来很美，但它是不真实的。我们的大脑比这复杂的多。心理学研究表明，我们的记忆通常是情节性的。如果你回想什么事情，你可能很快就会意识到我们的记忆并不是清晰的叙事。相反，它们更有情节性，被分成了多个部分)”可知，并不是所有的记忆都是可以在大脑中找到的。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon.( Baumann还指出，一个忙碌且可能超负荷的大脑似乎确实在这种现象中发挥了一些作用)”可知，超负荷的大脑会增加门口效应的可能性。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题，根据最后一段“The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!(好消息是，在进入另一个房间后经历这种遗忘的插曲不会告诉你任何关于你的记忆力和智力的事情。所以，当你走进一个房间，突然忘记了自己为什么在那里时，你不应该认为阿尔茨海默病正在悄悄靠近你！)”可知出现门口效应并不表示记忆力或智力出现问题，没有什么影响。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，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 stop glasses fogging up with a face mask Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it come with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. ___16___ Here are some tricks to stop it. Twist your mask strings. From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. ___17___ This may leave you infected by virus. ___18___ If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. Put your glasses in it and let it air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging. Use tissues. You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. ___19___ To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose. Change the position of your masks and glasses. ___20___ But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up. And, if your prescription is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness. A. Put glasses in the water. B. Wash your glasses with soap. C. It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog. D. So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks. E. Cover your chin with masks to prevent need for repositioning when talking. F. Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face. G. Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了几个防止戴口罩眼镜起雾的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. (每当眼镜起雾时，摘下眼镜把它擦干净不仅令人沮丧，还会增加感染的风险)”说明戴口罩使眼镜起雾所带来的问题；下文“Here are some tricks to stop it.(这里有一些技巧可以阻止它)”指出有些技巧可以防止眼镜起雾；D选项“So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks.(因此，关键是防止或尽量减少口罩造成的雾气)”起到承上启下的作用，“the key”指出上文中问题的解决方法，“fogging due to face masks”是下文“it”所指代的内容。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“ This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask.”(这对防止起雾非常好，因为它通过在口罩顶部施加轻微的向下压力来改变你呼出的气体的方向)阐述了“Twist your mask strings.(扭扭你的口罩绳)”所起到的防止起雾的作用以及原理；下文“This may leave you infected by virus.(这可能会让你被病毒感染)”说明可能会出现的问题，所以设空处应填与上文表示转折关系，同时又承接下文的句子，F选项“Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face.(不过，值得注意的是，它确实会在口罩和你的脸之间产生一个微小的间隙)”符合语意，故选F。 【18题详解】 文章结构分析可知，此空概括下文整段内容，起到小标题的作用。由下文 “If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. (如果你用肥皂洗眼镜，这会在镜片上形成一层薄膜，从而限制起雾)”可知，这一段主要讲用肥皂水洗眼镜可以防止眼镜起雾，所以B选项“Wash your glasses with soap.(用肥皂洗你的眼镜)”可以概括此段大意，故选B。 【19题详解】 上文“You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask.(你可以在口罩的上部垫上一张纸巾)”阐述了纸巾的用法，C选项“It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog.(它将有助于吸收空气和潮湿，使您的眼镜没有雾)”承接上文，阐述了在口罩上部垫上纸巾是如何防止眼镜起雾的，符合语意，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据本段的小标题“Change the position of your masks and glasses.(改变口罩和眼镜的位置)”可知这一段主要阐述用调整口罩和眼镜的位置来防止眼镜起雾，G选项“Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards.(把你的口罩向上拉一点，把你的眼镜向下拉一点，这样能阻止你呼出的气上升)”符合语意，句中的“Pull up your mask”也对应下文的“Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up.(首先，你需要确保你的口罩在被向上拉以后仍然遮住你的下巴)”。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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was a cold, rainy day, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house.

She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the ____33____ of an idea, but she kept at it.” The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a dream and____34____it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “_______35_______yet, start today.” 21.

His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (睡衣) top underneath，and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard. Mohi murmured,“Sorry, teacher,”and rushed to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles(咯咯笑) quickly died down. Mohi’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals. Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name at the same time just to see him jump and stop suddenly. When he spotted the merry crowd in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend. The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. “Mohi must be listening to music, since he had never played music at school.”Hamed thought. He called Mohi’s name a few times but there was no response. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. The music played on. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Teacher’s Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly so much so that it sounded like a recording. Then an idea hit Hamed. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. It was a good chance for Mohito show his talent and be accepted by his classmates. Thinking of that, Hamed left quietly. When Teacher’s Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. Jaws dropped. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause. Mohi became a sensation and had many fans in his final year of school. Mohi and Hamed became the best of friends eventually. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了笨拙且不修边幅的Mohi一直是同学们的笑料，但好友Hamed发现了 Mohi 小提琴天赋，在Hamed举荐下，Mohi 教师节音乐会上进行了表演，Mohi得到了同学们的认可并成了轰动一时的名人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Hamed透过窗户仔细看了看，惊讶地睁大了眼睛。”可知，第一段可描写Hamed发现Mohi拉小提琴拉得完美无瑕，Hamed想出一个主意，让Mohi展示他的才华。 ②由第二段首句内容“当教师节来临的时候，Hamed说服全班同学让Mohi表演。”可知，第二段可描写Mohi的表演大获成功，得到同学们的认可。 2.续写线索：发现秘密——推荐表演——技惊四座——轰动一时 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然意识到：hit/strike/occur to ②展示他的才华：show his talent/demonstrate his talent ③开始做某事：begin to do/start to do 情绪类 ①专心地：in concentration /intently ②沉默：silence /quiet 【点睛】[高分句型1] His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly.

Do you understand what I am saying?” I stare back at the speaker dumbly, my lips parted, the ideas clear in my mind but a response unable to express itself in a language in my distant range. After an uncomfortable pause, a bunch of words spill out of my mouth, sounding forced and unnatural. The anecdote (轶事) above is a semi-conversation I had in Malaysia years ago. A three-week stay in Malaysia once every few years was often the highlight of my summers—what more can you ask from a food paradise? But besides the family, food, and escape that Malaysia offered, trips also brought accompanying feelings of guilt that I just couldn’t seem to translate. For one month every few summers, I got a taste of what it feels to be an outsider in my own culture, peering in. I was a girl lost in translation, passively absorbing the various tongues shouted between the stalls in the wet markets, quietly nodding along at my grandparents’ huge family dinners. In America though, I am a different person. I don’t think twice about my grammar when speaking. I don’t struggle with the words and fear that my logic and stories won’t get through to people. So as a native English speaker, I do not have to worry daily about whether I’m judged for having an accent or whether I’m misunderstood across languages. In Malaysia, I naturally burst out “have you eaten?” instead of recalling the Malaysian equivalent “you makan already?” In Malaysia, everything about the way I speak-my accent, intonation, sentence structure, slang-gives me away. My American-ness is seen in the way I talk, dress, and act. Maybe my face could pass for a Malaysian local, but once I open my mouth to speak I am so clearly not. It is uncomfortable and awkward, and sometimes I wonder if I did not look Asian at all would it be better, since there would be no more language expectation for me than for a white tourist. 4. How did the author feel in the anecdote? A. Confused and scared. B. Embarrassed and nervous. C. Curious and surprised. D. Upset and puzzled. 5. Why did the author feel guilt according to Paragraph 2? A. Because she had to stay away from her family B. Because she didn’t enjoy speaking the language C. Bccause she had to accept what grandparents said D. Because she found it hard to understand the culture. 6. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A. She was a good language learner. B. She didn’t like being an Asian. C. She was judged unfairly in Malaysia D. She spoke English unconsciously in Malaysia. 7. From which column of the website does this article probably come from? A. Opinion B. News. C. Education. D. Humor C “Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine. She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt. I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail. My daughter was right when she’d whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.” “Tell her,” I repeated with a gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist. The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression showing a little concern. “My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained. The cashier’s face lit up. “You do?” This led my little one out of her hiding place. She looked up and nodded. “Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights. My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own. As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter’s hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had been when we first entered her line. After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver’s seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I’m going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.” “You should, honey.” And she did. She still does. It’s a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it’s one of my favorite things about this girl. She learned, at a very young age, that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you can draw out the beauty of human connection. 8. Why was the author’s daughter nervous in the store? A. She was too shy to express herself. B. She was frightened of the cashier. C. She was unable to pay the groceries. D. She was unhappy to greet a stranger. 9. What made the cashier more energetic in her work? A. The working environment. B. The support of the customers. C. The praise from a little girl. D. The understanding of a mother. 10. What does the author probably think of her daughter now? A. Careful and generous. B. Smart and proud. C. Kind and independent. D. Lively and cheerful. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. The Beauty of Moral Sense B. The Power in Raising Others up C. A Girl’s New Way out of Trouble D. A Mother’s Love for Her Daughter D Have you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect. In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory. Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts. A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australia suggests that it’s not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it’s the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might cause us to forget something that we need to buy.” Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode. The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you! 12. Which of the following would most probably be “doorway effect”? A. You missed a call and forgot to ring back. B. You read a book and forget what it is about. C. You entered the office and forgot what to get. D. You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. All memories are linked in the brain. B. Memories are clearly separated in the brain. C. Not all the memories can be found in the brain. D. Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain. 14. What can we infer from Baumann’s research? A. Taking an elevator stimulates new memory. B. Walking through open doors results in memory loss. C. A sudden change of the scene boosts intelligence development. D. An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect. 15. What does the author think of “doorway effect”? A. Insignificant. B. Beneficial. C. Influential. D. Damaging. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，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 stop glasses fogging up with a face mask Wearing a mask keeps you safe during the pandemic, but it come with its own set of challenges. And, one of the biggest drawbacks of wearing a mask is how much your glasses fog up and affect your vision. Taking off your glasses to wipe them clean each time it fogs up is not only frustrating, but it can also increase the risk of infection. ___16___ Here are some tricks to stop it. Twist your mask strings. From the side, once you twist it, the strings will look like the figure eight. This is great for stopping fogging because it redirects your breath by putting slight downward pressure on the top part of the mask. ___17___ This may leave you infected by virus. ___18___ If you wash your glasses with soap, this creates a thin film on your lenses which limits fogging. Use a fragrance-free soap and mix it with warm water. Put your glasses in it and let it air dry. When you wear your glasses next, soap molecules on your lenses should block fogging. Use tissues. You can put a tissue under the top part of the mask. ___19___ To do this DIY trick properly, you should fold a tissue in half and place the straight edge along the bridge of your nose. Change the position of your masks and glasses. ___20___ But if you do this there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you need to make sure that your mask still covers your chin(下巴)after you pull it up. And, if your prescription is stronger, this trick could impact your vision and cause increased blurriness. A. Put glasses in the water. B. Wash your glasses with soap. C. It will help catch air and damp, keeping your glasses free of fog. D. So the key is to prevent or minimize fogging due to face masks. E. Cover your chin with masks to prevent need for repositioning when talking. F. Though, it’s worth noting that it does create a slight gap between the mask and your face. G. Pull up your mask and draw your glasses down, blocking your breath from rising upwards. 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was a cold, rainy day, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house.

He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (睡衣) top underneath，and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher’s hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard. Mohi murmured,“Sorry, teacher,”and rushed to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles(咯咯笑) quickly died down. Mohi’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals. Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name at the same time just to see him jump and stop suddenly. When he spotted the merry crowd in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend. The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. “Mohi must be listening to music, since he had never played music at school.”Hamed thought. He called Mohi’s name a few times but there was no response. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. The music played on. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Hamed looked closely through a window, his eyes widened in surprise. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Teacher’s Day came around, Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
