As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
4. What made the author want to leave her hometown?
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
5. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
6. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
7. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities (or even just sleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not.
A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their lives.
The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.
The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal.
An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment (分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time.
It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.”
8. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work?
A. They allow themselves more leisure time.
B. They keep themselves busy on purpose.
C. They know how much leisure time is best.
D. They experience higher level of satisfaction.
9. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction?
A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation.
B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content.
C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition.
D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood.
10. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity?
A. B.
C. D.
11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings
B. individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules
C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings
D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction
D
Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.”
Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.
The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often can not go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies.
“It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’— sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton.
12. What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph?
A. The desire to lead a sustainable life.
B. The good intention to help recycling.
C. The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills.
D. The practice of recycling items that can not be recycled.
13. What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis?
A. People are becoming more eco-conscious.
B. Wish-cycling is on the rise in recent years.
C. Pollution happens less frequently in recycling facilities.
D. People are used to cleaning recyclable waste before putting it in the bin.
14. Which of the following is a proper way of recycling?
A. Dispose of electronics together with household waste.
B. Skip the step of checking the on-packaging recycling label.
C. Check the resin code of plastics to see whether it is recyclable or not.
D. Cutoff the top of old pizza box and throw the rest to the recycling bin.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Recycling: a Big Project B. Wish-cycling: a New Trend
C. Wish-cycling: a Growing Concern D. Pre-cycling: an Effective Method

“Why are we bringing groceries for Mrs. Killinger?” Bobby asked his mother, Anna, as they walked back from the supermarket with a few extra bags for their elderly neighbor. He enjoyed helping his mother with these tasks, but they had never bought anything for any neighbor before.
“Honey, Mrs. Killinger is now having trouble walking around, so I offered to bring some things from the market,” Anna explained as they climbed up the wooden steps to Mrs. Killinger’s house and rang the doorbell.
“Ok, but she could get a wheelchair and move around,” the boy commented as if it was the most straightforward solution in the world.
“You know, Bobby. Mrs. Killinger doesn’t have the money to buy one right now.
They can get expensive.” Anna explained, and Bobby pursed his lips in thought.
Mrs.Killinger answered the door, smiled, and invited them for some coffee and cookies. Bobby noticed how slowly she moved, and an idea formed in his mind. He told the older woman and his mother all about it, and they grinned at him indulgently (宽容地笑).Neither of them thought Bobby would do it.
That’s why Anna was surprised the following day when Bobby had made several ads. “Mom, can you add your phone number here, so people can call me with work?”
“Oh, honey. This is very sweet. But I don’t know if it’ll be enough to raise the money she needs to buy a wheelchair,” Anna explained. She loved that her son had such a big heart, but he didn’t want him to be heartbroken if no one called or he couldn’t raise the money.
“Well,at least,I can say that I tried to help,” Bobby chirped (欢快地说)with his bright smile and eager eyes. Anna nodded and added her phone number to the ads. In his ad, Bobby offered his “services” which included helping with shopping, mowing lawns, keeping company, and walking dogs. He also left the price of his services, which made Anna smile. He honestly just wanted to help.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anna helped him put up the ads around the neighborhood.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two weeks later, Bobby still hadn’t raise the amount of money he wanted.

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
4. What made the author want to leave her hometown?
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
5. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother?
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
6. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent?
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
7. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音,但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分,也明白了要坚守本根。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中,我开始意识到,在我们的地区之外,南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇,开始新的生活,并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知,作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知,即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初,她妈妈问我来自哪里,以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报,甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知,当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时,作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”,第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作,而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我,隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中,我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己,我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知,作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知,作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的,即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧,但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说:“女孩,别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了,但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知,文章想要传达的信息是:坚守本根。故选A。
C
Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities (or even just sleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not.
A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their lives.
The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.
The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal.
An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment (分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time.
It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.”
8. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work?
A. They allow themselves more leisure time.
B. They keep themselves busy on purpose.
C. They know how much leisure time is best.
D. They experience higher level of satisfaction.
9. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction?
A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation.
B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content.
C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition.
D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood.
10. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity?
A. B.
C. D.
11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings
B. individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules
C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings
D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究发现忙碌的人往往比闲着的人生活满意度更高,所需要的休闲时间更少,研究者对这一研究对人们的影响持积极的态度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their business is purposeful or not.”可知,研究表明, 忙碌的人往往比闲着的人更快乐,也就是说忙于工作的美国人的满意度更高,故D项正确。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.”可知,有工作的人满意的休息时间是两个半小时,而不工作的人满意的休息时间则是4小时45分钟,也就是说不工作的人需要更多的休闲时间来感到满足,故B项正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed,and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall,”可知,时间太少会有压力,一旦你达到最佳状态,压力的作用就消失了,在那之后,受试者开始说他们总体上感觉效率较低,D项与这个状态变化相吻合,故D项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction”可知,Holmes将这个研究成果分享给了她的学生,很多时间比较紧迫的学生得到了安慰,并且她说“我认为两个半小时能创造出一个很好的目标,即使你只增加一点自由支配的时间,你也可以期望它能转化为更大的生活满意度,也由此可以看出她对研究结果的影响的态度是很积极的, 故A项正确。
D
Recycling is a great way of doing your bit for the environment and helping to protect the earth’s precious resources. However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. David Heaton, a business director at Biffa, said: “Pollution happens when items are disposed of in the wrong bins or haven’t been cleaned before being recycled.”
Experts at Biffa analyzed the amounts of non-target and non-recyclable materials that entered UK material recycling facilities between 2016 and 2020. It was found that, in 2016, the average pollution rate of recycling waste was 13.4 percent, rising over four years to 17 percent by the end of 2020. This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.
The Biffa experts say that one of the best ways to prevent pollution of recycling is to clean recyclable waste before putting it in the bin. They suggest cutting off the top of old pizza boxes and only recycling that part to avoid pollution from the grease (油脂). Check the on-packaging recycling label to check it can actually be recycled When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. In general, resin codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are recyclable, while 3, 6 and 7 are not. Larger items, like electronics, furniture and batteries, can also be recycled but often can not go in household recycling bins as they need specialist separating. These will need to be taken to recycling centers or sustainable waste management companies.
“It’s vital as a nation that we get better at effective ‘pre-cycling’— sorting waste correctly before collection to reduce pollution rates,” added Mr. Heaton.
12. What’s the truth of “wish-cycling” according to the first paragraph?
A. The desire to lead a sustainable life.
B. The good intention to help recycling.
C. The habit of throwing items that end up in landfills.
D. The practice of recycling items that can not be recycled.
13. What has experts at Biffa concluded after their analysis?
A. People are becoming more eco-conscious.
B. Wish-cycling is on the rise in recent years.
C. Pollution happens less frequently in recycling facilities.
D. People are used to cleaning recyclable waste before putting it in the bin.
14. Which of the following is a proper way of recycling?
A. Dispose of electronics together with household waste.
B. Skip the step of checking the on-packaging recycling label.
C. Check the resin code of plastics to see whether it is recyclable or not.
D. Cutoff the top of old pizza box and throw the rest to the recycling bin.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Recycling: a Big Project B. Wish-cycling: a New Trend
C. Wish-cycling: a Growing Concern D. Pre-cycling: an Effective Method
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“希望循环”所带来的问题,同时文章就如何正确回收提出建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good.(然而,一项新的研究表明,我们对可持续发展的渴望可能弊大于利)”和“this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. (这是因为“希望循环”——认为一次性咖啡杯和比萨饼盒等物品如果放入回收箱就会被回收)”可知,“希望循环”的真相是人们认为把垃圾扔进回收箱就会被回收。由此可推知,这是一种帮助回收利用的好意。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This shows that, even as people are becoming more eco-conscious, wish-cycling is increasing both in households and businesses.(这表明,尽管人们越来越注重环保,但在家庭和企业中,“希望循环”的数量都在增加)”可知,近年来,“希望循环”的数量正在不断增加。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When it comes to plastics, Biffa recommends checking the resin code, the number in the plastic triangle, to know whether it should go in the recycling bin. (当谈到塑料时,Biffa建议检查树脂代码,即塑料三角形中的数字,以了解它是否应该放入回收箱)”可知,检查塑料的树脂代码,看看它是否可回收,这是合适的回收方法,故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“However, a new study has revealed that our desire to be sustainable maybe doing more harm than good. According to waste company Biffa, this is because of “wish-cycling” — assuming that items such as disposable coffee cup sand pizza boxes will be recycled if put in the recycling bin. In fact, pollution from those items or other non-recyclables can result in recyclable items that have been put in the correct bin going to landfill. (然而,一项新的研究表明,我们对可持续发展的渴望可能弊大于利。据废品处理公司 Biffa 称,这是因为“希望循环”——假设一次性咖啡杯和比萨饼盒等物品如果放入回收箱就会被回收利用。事实上,来自这些物品或其他不可回收物品的污染会导致已经放入正确垃圾箱的可回收物品被送往垃圾填埋场)”可知,文章主要讲述了“希望回收”所带来的问题,同时文章就如何正确回收提出建议,由此可推知,C项“希望循环:一个日益关注的问题”适合做文章标题。故选C。

Color psychology is the study of how colors affect human behavior, mood, or physiological processes. Colors affect our feelings and memories. ___16___ Companies choose colors that they believe will motivate customers to buy their products and improve brand awareness.
Color perception is very subjective, as different people have different ideas about and responses to colors. Several factors influence color perception, which makes it difficult to determine if color alone impacts our emotions and actions.___17___ In some cultures, for example, white is associated with happiness and purity. In a situation where a woman is wearing a white wedding dress, is she happy because she is influenced by the color white or because she is getting married? To someone from a different culture, wearing white may signify sadness. ___18___
While no direct cause and effect relationship between color and behavior has been found, some generalizations about colors and what they may symbolize have been determined. Colors including red, yellow, and orange are considered warm colors. ___19___ Cool colors include blue, violet, and green. These colors are associated with calmness and coolness.
___20___ We see colors with our brains. Our eyes are important for detecting and responding to light, but it is the brain's visual center in the occipital lobes(枕叶)that processes visual information and assigns color. The colors we see are determined by the wavelength of light that is reflected. The brain integrates these wavelength signals enabling us to distinguish among millions of different colors.
A. We don't actually see colors with our eyes.
B. Our brain associates the wavelength with a color.
C. Colors also have been used to treat various diseases.
D. They are even thought to influence our buying choices.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Why are we bringing groceries for Mrs. Killinger?” Bobby asked his mother, Anna, as they walked back from the supermarket with a few extra bags for their elderly neighbor. He enjoyed helping his mother with these tasks, but they had never bought anything for any neighbor before.
“Honey, Mrs. Killinger is now having trouble walking around, so I offered to bring some things from the market,” Anna explained as they climbed up the wooden steps to Mrs. Killinger’s house and rang the doorbell.
“Ok, but she could get a wheelchair and move around,” the boy commented as if it was the most straightforward solution in the world.
“You know, Bobby. Mrs. Killinger doesn’t have the money to buy one right now.
They can get expensive.” Anna explained, and Bobby pursed his lips in thought.
Mrs.Killinger answered the door, smiled, and invited them for some coffee and cookies. Bobby noticed how slowly she moved, and an idea formed in his mind. He told the older woman and his mother all about it, and they grinned at him indulgently (宽容地笑).Neither of them thought Bobby would do it.
That’s why Anna was surprised the following day when Bobby had made several ads. “Mom, can you add your phone number here, so people can call me with work?”
“Oh, honey. This is very sweet. But I don’t know if it’ll be enough to raise the money she needs to buy a wheelchair,” Anna explained. She loved that her son had such a big heart, but he didn’t want him to be heartbroken if no one called or he couldn’t raise the money.
“Well,at least,I can say that I tried to help,” Bobby chirped (欢快地说)with his bright smile and eager eyes. Anna nodded and added her phone number to the ads. In his ad, Bobby offered his “services” which included helping with shopping, mowing lawns, keeping company, and walking dogs. He also left the price of his services, which made Anna smile. He honestly just wanted to help.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Anna helped him put up the ads around the neighborhood.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Two weeks later, Bobby still hadn’t raise the amount of money he wanted.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Anna helped him put up the ads around the neighborhood. Very quickly Bobby’s ads spread around. Amazed to hear that a ten-year-old was offering his services to help an elderly woman, people from all over the city started calling and asking Bobby to do jobs for them. Soon he was asked to walk dogs, buy groceries, and mow lawns for people. Meanwhile Mrs. Killinger was very pleased with the extra companionship Bobby provided and Bobby quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and kind helper. Seeing the funds increasing, Bobby felt more than delighted.
Two weeks later, Bobby still hadn’t raised the amount of money he wanted. But Bobby didn’t give up. He continued to offer his services to anyone who needed it. Bobby even started a GoFundMe page and shared it on his social media accounts, hoping to reach more people. His efforts paid off when a local news station shared his story, and more people offered their support. Thanks to his hard work and kindness, Bobby was finally able to raise enough funds to purchase a new wheelchair for Mrs. Killinger.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了小男孩Bobby在看到邻居Mrs. Killinger没有能力购买轮椅之后决定帮忙筹钱,于是他制作了广告,通过提供自己的服务而获得报酬从而为Mrs. Killinger买轮椅。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Anna帮他在附近张贴广告。”以及第二段首句“两个星期过去了,Bobby仍然没有筹集到他想要的金额。”可知,第一段可描写Anna帮Bobby张贴广告后,Bobby开始了自己的筹钱行动。
②由第二段首句“两个星期过去了,Bobby仍然没有筹集到他想要的金额。”可知,第二段可描写Bobby虽然没有筹集到足够的钱却没有放弃,反而加倍努力。
2.续写线索:Bobby感到疑惑为什么邻居太太不自己去买东西——妈妈说邻居太太走路有困难,但是又没有钱买轮椅——Bobby突然有了个想法,想帮助邻居太太买轮椅——Bobby做了广告,想通过为别人提供服务换取报酬,从而为邻居太太买轮椅——Bobby的想法得到了妈妈的支持——Bobby很努力地赚钱,却还凑不足足够的钱——Bobby并未放弃,努力最终带来了回报

【高分句型2】Meanwhile Mrs. Killinger was very pleased with the extra companionship Bobby provided and Bobby quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and kind helper.(运用了省略关系代词的定语从句)
