Their various versions of a self-made American􀆳s success story went viral. Now, as Staton prepares to graduate, he wants to make one thing crystal clear: It wasn􀆳t only he, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways. “I worked for a trash company, where my co-workers told me that I should go to college instead. I had a boss who let me leave work and go to school. I had a cousin who helped me study for the Law School Admission Test. My brother dropped out of college to help with the family finance. My dad sacrificed a lot for me. I could keep going down this list. I got lucky, but I made the most of my luck,” he said. From early on Staton understood the instability of life. He and his brother were raised by their dad. The family of three struggled to make ends meet. After high school, Staton got a job at a trash and recycling company. It motivated him to find his way to the University of Maryland while continuing to work. Staton cleaned garbage containers and collected trash from 4 a.m. until 7 a.m., and after that, he would go to classes. The desire for a better life for him and his family was the main reason Staton applied to the law school. At Harvard Law School, Staton found a community of professors, classmates, administrators and staff who helped him to get through. To show his gratitude to the service staff, he raised money to give $100 gift certificates to each service worker of Harvard Law School and founded “The Reciprocity Effect” to honor other such workers at universities and corporate institutions. “I didn􀆳t want to change after going to the law school,” he said. “The allure is huge. I went to work in fancy places. I made cool connections and friendships. But I don􀆳t want to forget who I am.” 24.What made Staton the focus of reporters􀆳 attention? A.His popularity on social media. B.His job as a cleaner. C.His admission to Harvard Law School. D.His donation to service workers. 25.What does Staton consider vital to his success? A.Access to educational opportunities. B.A bit of luck. C.Academic environments. D.Assistance from others. 26.Why did Staton refuse to change after attending Harvard Law School? A.He was quite content with his present life. B.He valued his personal connections over success. C.He wanted to stay true to his roots and values. D.He was not ready to let go of his past experiences. 27.What can we learn from the story? A.A rising tide lifts all boats. B.Two heads are better than one. C.The early bird catches the worm. D.A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. C Art may not be a uniquely human patent. Apes(猿), monkeys, elephants, dolphins and even rabbits can be encouraged to express themselves via pencil and paper. New research on the artistic efforts of apes suggests that their work varies according to changes in the world around them. The new study, published in the journal Animals, focuses on hundreds of drawings produced by five female apes at Japan􀆳s Tama Zoological Park, where keepers provided them with crayons and paper over many years as part of a behavioural enrichment programme. One of the apes, named Molly, was especially productive. She only started drawing on her 54th birthday, but from that point on, until her death five years later, she produced about 1,300 pictures. She drew almost every day, creating more complex pictures than her companions. “I don􀆳t know if we can describe her as a genius,” says Sueur, a biologist in the park. “Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species, with some smarter than others.” Sueur and his colleagues identified individual differences between the apes􀆳 artistic styles, in terms of their preferred colors, the types of shapes they drew and the space they filled on the paper. Only Molly routinely filled most of the space available. Molly􀆳s style changed with the season too. In summer and winter, greens dominated her pictures, but she switched to pinks and purples in spring and autumn. Appealingly, she opted for red whenever another female in the group was giving birth, which may indicate that her paintings are something more than purely abstract.   “We􀆳ve tried not to overinterpret it,” says Sueur. “It could be earlier representational art.” The biologists suggest that apes may provide clues to the development of artistic skills in humans. Like children, and unlike other species known to put pen to paper, the apes needed no reward to participate in the task, suggesting that they enjoyed it for its own interest. 28.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A.Animals􀆳 artwork style remains unchanged. B.Female animals do much better in art creation. C.Animals can create masterpieces through efforts. D.Some animals can acquire artistic skills like humans. 29.What could influence the apes􀆳 performance in art creation? A.Their starting age of creation. B.Their preferred seasons. C.Individual differences between them. D.The quantity of their creation. 30.What do the underlined words “opted for” in paragraph 4 mean? A.Chose.　　　　B.Described. C.Interpreted.　　　　D.Abandoned. 31.What can be concluded from apes􀆳 acquiring artistic skills? A.Practice makes perfect. B.The sooner begun, the better done. C.Interest is the best teacher. D.God helps those who help themselves. D 　　Listening to music by yourself might not seem like a social activity, but researchers have published a study that suggests how doing so can have valuable social benefits. 　　“It􀆳s a great way to give yourself a social improvement and increase your well-being,” says Elaine Paravati, the study􀆳s author, who conducted the research while completing her doctorate at the University at Buffalo. 　　The study􀆳s view, however, differs from the views of a lot of previous studies of the social aspects of music, which often focus on how music brings people together, as listeners and performers. Paravati instead looked at music enjoyed in isolation (孤立地). 　　Humans have a basic need to belong, which strongly motivates our behavior. Failing to connect with others can lead to depression, anxiety and low self-esteem (自尊). There are traditional ways to fill this need, like spending time with family and friends, but there are non-traditional ways as well, like activities that might not be immediately recognized as social. 　　These are known as social surrogates (替代物), which can help with loneliness, isolation and social threats, like rejection, just as well as time spent with others. Examples include forming one-sided bonds with celebrities, engaging in the virtual social world, and surrounding oneself with reminders of loved ones. “Listening to music alone operates as a social surrogate along all three of those pathways,” says Paravati. 　　“We found that listening to one􀆳s favorite music helped individuals feel less lonely,” says Paravati. “But someone􀆳s favorite music was more effective at this than just listening to music in general. In other words, there is something special about putting on your favorite song and jamming out.” 　　Paravati says future research might explore the impact of music styles or the individual differences among the three surrogate pathways and which might be more important than the other two. 32.What could previous research on music􀆳s social role most probably ignore? A.Music􀆳s physical health benefits. B.Social benefits of listening to music alone. C.Differences between music styles. D.Music􀆳s impact on work efficiency. 33.How does favorite music help according to Paravati? A.By reducing feelings of loneliness. B.By replacing social activities. C.By improving memory. D.By increasing professional skills. 34.What does Paravati􀆳s suggestion for future research imply about her current findings? A.They are only applicable to young people. B.They may not cover all key parts. C.They require more real-life cases to check. D.They think too highly of music􀆳s anti-loneliness effect. 35.What could be the best title for the text? A.Alone with Your Favorite Songs B.Share Music, Share Joy C.Music Types Matter D.Concerts Beat Loneliness 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Language is a part of our daily life, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people􀆳s life. 　36　 Here are some of their similarities.  Both language and music have a writing system In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to make a recording of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and finding meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. 　37　 For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite uplifting.  Both vary with culture 　38　 In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don􀆳t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.  Both share emotions How do you know that I am angry? 　39　 Similarly, music can sound angry, sorrowful or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allow us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song.  　40　  A.Different cultures make different music. B.Both language and music play a huge role in our life. C.You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language. D.By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. E.In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you feel down. F.Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. G.We all have used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics. 36.　　　37.　　　 38.　　　 39.　　　 40.　　　  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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 　　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　After graduation, I went to Mumbai for further studies.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don􀆳t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew near. I couldn􀆳t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after school. “How about singing together in the talent show?” she said. “I heard you singing a tune, along the way home. I can􀆳t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn􀆳t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world􀆳s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go on in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you􀆳ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing(排练) almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an upset stomach and was not in any shape to perform. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 I was completely knocked out by the news.   　　Finally came the big

25.D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,Staton认为他人的帮助对他的成功至关重要。故选D。 26.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可推测,Rehan Sujeewa Staton不想改变是因为他想保持自己的本色,即他想忠于自己的出身和价值观。故选C。 27.D　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句和第四段第二句可知,Rehan Sujeewa Staton的成功离不开他周围人的帮助,并且他对这些帮助心怀感激,这体现了感恩的重要性,所以D项“一颗感恩的心是伟大的开端”是文章想要表达的思想。故选D。 C 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于猿类的艺术创作的新研究,该研究表明,它们的作品存在个体差异,也会随着周围环境的变化而变化。 28.D　细节理解题。根据第一段可知,艺术不是人类独有的专利,结合第二段可知,猿类有艺术创作行为,由此得知一些动物可以像人类一样获得艺术技能。故选D。 29.C　细节理解题。根据第三段第五、六句可知,研究者确定了猿类艺术风格之间存在着个体差异。所以猿类之间的个体差异可能会影响它们在艺术创作中的表现。故选C。 30.A　词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句可知,Molly的风格会随着季节的变化而变化,不同的季节它会选择不同的颜色,结合画线短语所在的句子可知,Molly的这种做法表明它的画不仅仅是一种纯粹的抽象,由此可推测,此处指的是在画组中的另一个雌性分娩时,它会“选择”红色,“opted for”意为“选择”。故选A。

32.B　细节理解题。第三段提到先前的研究常关注音乐如何让人们聚在一起,而该研究是观察孤立状态下欣赏的音乐。由此可知,以往关于音乐的社交作用的研究很可能忽略了独自听音乐的社交益处。故选B。 33.A　细节理解题。根据第六段中的“We found that listening to one􀆳s favorite music helped individuals feel less lonely”可知,听最喜欢的音乐可以减少孤独感。故选A。 34.B　推理判断题。最后一段提到将来的研究可能会探索音乐类型的影响或三种替代方式之间的个体差异。由此可知,目前的研究未能完全覆盖所有的关键因素。故选B。

collection...hear.”可知,读文章和乐谱都可以带来一定的意义,而下文的举例“we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago”则正是说明了读文章或乐谱所带来的意义可以超越时间。所以D选项“通过阅读文章或乐谱片段,我们能够穿越时间分享经历”符合语境。故选D。 38.C　根据上文中的“Here are some of their similarities.”可知本文介绍语言和音乐的相似之处。根据下文可知,同样地,我们可以通过不同的音乐风格来探索许多不同的文化。所以C选项“你可以通过听他们的语言猜测他们来自哪里”引起下文,符合语境。故选C。 39.F　根据上文的问句“你怎么知道我生气了?”再结合选项可知,F选项“当然,你也许能从我的脸上看出来,但你会通过我的话确切地知道”承接上文,说明了看出某人生气的可能的方式,符合语境。故选F。 40.E　根据上文可知,当你感到快乐的时候,你可能想唱一首快乐的歌并跟着跳舞,此处提到了感到快乐的情况,结合主旨句可知,本段说明情绪方面的变化与语言和音乐的联系,所以E选项“相反,当你感到沮丧的时候,你可能也会听悲伤的音乐”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。 第三部分　语言运用 第一节 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者毕业后从乡村到城市从医,面对巨大压力,通过创立笑声俱乐部找回快乐并帮助他人的故事。 41.B　根据下文“Endless on-call shifts and mountains of medical research papers”可知,从乡村男孩到城市医生的转变带来的是巨大的压力(pressure)。故选B。 42.A　根据上文“Endless on-call shifts and mountains of medical research papers”可知,无尽的随叫随到的轮班和大量的医学研究论文消耗了(consumed)作者所有的时间。故选A。 43.B　上文提到无尽的轮班和医学研究论文消耗了作者所有的时间,作者失去了笑声,变得不快乐,因此他决定要重新获得(regain)快乐。故选B。 44.C　根据下文“as laughter kept them positive”可知,笑声使病人保持积极的心态,这有利于他们康复(recovered)。故选C。 45.C　上文提到作者认为笑声很有力量,因此他试图向人们解释笑声的益处(benefit)。故选C。 46.A　作者在公园里向行人解释笑声的益处,这种行为在常人看来很怪异,所以他们认为作者疯了(crazy)。故选A。 47.D　上文提到作者向行人解释笑声的益处,希望成立一个笑声俱乐部。结合空前的“Out of 400 passers-by”及最后一段的“From that initial group of four”可知,作者最终说服了(convinced)四个人。故选D。 48.D　上文提到作者最终说服了四个人加入俱乐部,这意味着俱乐部诞生了(birth)。故选D。 49.D　根据俱乐部名称“Laughter Club”和下文“Soon, I developed more laughter exercises”可知,作者他们见面是为了一起笑(laugh)。故选D。 50.C　根据下文“My new challenge was getting these emotionally held-back people to laugh without reason.”可知,作者的新挑战是让这些情绪拘谨的人毫无理由地笑起来,这是因为这些人天生害羞(shy)。故选C。 51.B　根据下文“prepared them for the following activities”可知,这些活动是为后续活动做准备的,属于热身(warm-up)运动。故选B。 52.A　根据下文“prepared them for the following activities”可知,热身运动的目的是让人们先放松(relax)下来,然后继续接下来的活动。故选A。 53.A　根据空前的“role-playing and techniques”和空后的“when I was an amateur actor”可知,这些技巧是作者在当业余演员时学会(picked up)的。故选A。 54.B　根据下文“the laughter grew louder and its reach grew farther”可知,笑声变得更响亮了,传播得更远了,这是一个循序渐进的过程,因此Gradually“逐渐地”符合语境。故选B。 55.D　根据“From that initial group of four”可知,成员在增加,俱乐部开始扩大(expand)。故选D。 第二节 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了二胡的历史、构造及经典曲目。

times可知,句子用现在完成时;主语improvements和动词make之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;主语是名词复数,助动词用have。故填have been made。 61.most famous　考查形容词最高级。根据空前的One of the和空后的erhu pieces可知,设空处应用形容词最高级,表示“最著名的二胡曲目之一”。故填most famous。

Dear Peter,  I am very glad to have the chance to share my opinions about music and my favorite music with you. In my opinion,music plays an important role in our life. It can make us feel relaxed both mentally and physically, thus helping reduce our pressure of study. What􀆳s more, it can excite and encourage us whenever we meet trouble because of its comforting and inspiring effect. Besides, music can be of great help for us to understand other cultures.  I like both pop music and traditional music. Pop music can bring me excitement and lovely tunes. Traditional music shows me the peaceful side of the world and can even lead me to pursue the true meaning of life. Yours, Li Hua  第二节 One possible version: I was completely knocked out by the news. Without Emma􀆳s voice to guide me, I would definitely mess up and this wasn􀆳t what I had expected! As I stood there, feeling at a loss, a gentle touch on my shoulder brought me back to reality. It was my mum, wearing a comforting smile. She said in a firm tone, “You􀆳ve worked so hard. You can make it on your own.” Memories of countless rehearsal came flooding in, drowning my fears and losses. Determined to spare no effort to participate in it, I adjusted my performance to a solo, practicing in no time. Finally came the big moment. I took a deep breath, stepped onto the stage and glanced at the audience. At first, a wave of nervousness swept over me, my heart pounding violently and my palms sweating. But an inner voice told me that I must keep calm,so as the song progressed, my confidence soared. I poured my emotions into the performance, letting my voice carry my feelings into the air. The crowd watched what had happened in amazement, their applause and cheers echoing in the hall. Facing the overwhelming response, it was at this moment that it suddenly occurred to me that nothing is impossible as long as we put our heart into it and don􀆳t give up. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
