Digital apps often get attacked for weakening family bonds, but a French company has found a smart solution — Famileo, a family newspaper platform since 2014. Its founder Tanguy got the idea when he helped his father set up a computer, only to see it gather dust soon after. He then realized the need for a communication tool that suits both tech-skilled young people and Internet-shy seniors, who believe traditional communication carries unique emotional value, especially for the elderly.
Famileo changes digital messages and photos that users send through the Famileo app into a family newspaper. With young users getting a PDF version, a physical copy is delivered to the door of older people each month. All data shared is safe — the company promises it will not sell users’ data and will keep the newspaper free of advertising. Senders benefit from the convenience of digital communication, while their relatives enjoy reading family updates in a printed newspaper.
Loneliness is a major problem for older people in the UK. Many Famileo users report that Famileo helps keep older relatives connected, allowing them to feel part of their big family’s day-to-day life despite the distance. At Famileo’s heart is a desire to cater to older people’s demands, even as technology develops.
Kirsteen Bell from Scotland uses Famileo to stay in touch with her mother, who lives in the countryside without the Internet. With three young children to care for, Bell can’t visit her mother often. “My mother gets the newspaper every four weeks and loves it. It keeps her updated in a way she can easily access,” she says. True connection has to be two-way, and family is a great place to start.
4. What problem was Famileo designed to solve?
A. Lack of quality family time.
B. Communication gaps between generations.
C. High cost of using computers.
D. Seniors’ trouble with reading.
5. How does Famileo benefit people?
A. It helps people travel for free. B. It provides free online lessons.
C. It prints daily newspapers for kids. D. It protects users’ personal data well.
6. Which of the following words can replace the underlined words “cater to” in paragraph 3?
A. Donate. B. Assume. C. Satisfy. D. Update.
7. Why does the writer mention Kirsteen Bell?
A. To advise people to live with parents. B. To explain how to raise young children.
C. To introduce a beautiful countryside town. D. To show the practical effect of Famileo.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍法国公司开发的家庭报纸平台Famileo,该平台将用户在应用上发送的图文制作成纸质家庭报纸寄给老人,以此解决代际沟通隔阂,帮助老人缓解孤独,维系家庭情感联结。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“He then realized the need for a communication tool that suits both tech-skilled young people and Internet-shy seniors, who believe traditional communication carries unique emotional value, especially for the elderly.(随后他意识到,需要一款既适合熟悉科技的年轻人,又适合不擅长上网的老年人的沟通工具,老年人认为传统沟通方式拥有独特的情感价值,对老年人而言尤其如此。)”可知,Famileo旨在解决代际之间的沟通隔阂。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“All data shared is safe — the company promises it will not sell users’ data and will keep the newspaper free of advertising.(所有共享的数据都是安全的——该公司承诺不会出售用户数据,并且保证报纸无广告。)”可知,该平台很好地保护用户的个人数据。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“At Famileo’s heart is a desire to cater to older people’s demands, even as technology develops.(Famileo的核心理念是想要cater to老年人的需求,即便科技在不断发展。)”及“Many Famileo users report that Famileo helps keep older relatives connected, allowing them to feel part of their big family’s day-to-day life despite the distance.(许多Famileo用户反馈,该平台有助于维系长辈与亲属之间的联系,让他们纵使相隔遥远,也能感受到自己是大家庭日常生活中的一份子。)”可知,该平台有助于维系长辈亲属之间的联系,满足老年人的需求,故cater to在此处含义为“满足”。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Kirsteen Bell from Scotland uses Famileo to stay in touch with her mother, who lives in the countryside without the Internet.(来自苏格兰的柯尔斯汀·贝尔使用Famileo与住在乡下、没有网络的母亲保持联系。)”及第三段“Many Famileo users report that Famileo helps keep older relatives connected, allowing them to feel part of their big family’s day-to-day life despite the distance.(许多Famileo用户反馈,该平台有助于维系长辈与亲属之间的联系,让他们纵使相隔遥远,也能感受到自己是大家庭日常生活中的一份子。)”可知,作者举Kirsteen Bell的例子,是为了展示Famileo的实际使用效果。

The Maoris are the local Polynesian people of New Zealand. The Maoris originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand by boat around AD 1150. Over several centuries of isolation (隔离), the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture, with their own language and special crafts and performing arts. The early Maoris formed tribal groups based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organizations.
The arrival of Europeans, starting in the 17th century, brought great changes to the Maori way of life. The Maoris gradually learned from the Western society and culture. The primary relations between the Maoris and Europeans were largely kind, and the two cultures coexisted peacefully. Rising stress over land sales led to conflict (冲突) in the 1860s. Great social changes, decades of conflict and introduced diseases caused a sharp drop in the Maori population. By the start of the 20th century, the Maori population had begun to recover, and efforts had been made to increase their standing in broader New Zealand society and achieve social justice. Traditional Maori culture therefore enjoyed a great revival.
In 2013, there were about 600,000 Maoris in New Zealand, making up 15% of the national population. They are the second-largest ethnic group in New Zealand, after European New Zealanders. In addition, more than 120,000 Maoris live in Australia. The Maori language is still spoken to some degree by about a fifth of all Maoris, representing 3% of the total population. Many New Zealanders regularly use Maori words and expressions, such as “kia ora”, while speaking English.
Many Maoris face big economic and social problems, with lower life expectancies and incomes compared with other New Zealand ethnic groups. They suffer higher levels of crime, health problems, and educational underachievement. Some measures have been taken to close the gap between the Maoris and other New Zealanders.
8. Which is mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. The Maoris like to live in separation.
B. The Maoris have their own culture.
C. The Maoris differ from Polynesians.
D. The Maoris come originally from New Zealand.
9. What caused the fighting between the Maoris and Europeans?
A. The land problem. B. The social changes.
C. The introduced diseases. D. The culture difference.
10. What can we know about the Maori language?
A. It’s unusual for New Zealanders to speak it.
B. It’s the second-largest language in New Zealand.
C. It’s spoken by about a fifth of people worldwide.
D. Not all Maoris speak the Maori language.
11. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The characteristics of the Maoris. B. The history of the Maoris.
C. The language the Maoris use. D. The problems the Maoris face.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍新西兰本土毛利人的历史发展,包括其起源、欧洲人到来之后带来的变化、人口与语言现状以及当前毛利群体面临的社会经济问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Over several centuries of isolation, the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture, with their own language and special crafts and performing arts.(经过数个世纪的隔绝生活,这些波利尼西亚定居者发展出独特的文化,拥有自己的语言、独特手工艺和表演艺术。)”可知,第一段提到毛利人拥有属于自己的文化。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“The primary relations between the Maoris and Europeans were largely kind, and the two cultures coexisted peacefully. Rising stress over land sales led to conflict in the 1860s.(毛利人与欧洲人早期的关系大体上是友好的,两种文化和平共存。由土地买卖引发的矛盾不断加剧,在19世纪60年代引发了冲突。)”可知,土地问题造成了毛利人与欧洲人之间的争斗。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“The Maori language is still spoken to some degree by about a fifth of all Maoris, representing 3% of the total population.(大约五分之一的毛利人还会在一定程度上使用毛利语,占全国总人口的3%。)”可知,只有一部分毛利人会说毛利语,并非所有毛利人都会讲毛利语。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章依次介绍毛利人的起源、欧洲人到来后的历史变迁、人口语言现状以及现存社会问题,整体围绕毛利人的历史展开。因此这篇文章主要讲述毛利人的历史。
D
Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only over a lifetime, but also from month to month or even day to day. Yet despite such variety, there are some factors that I think are the main contributors.
The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns.
However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle.
These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously (无意识地), without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To answer a question. B. To lead into the topic.
C. To list a few reasons. D. To make comparisons.
13. How many factors that affect musical preferences are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Two. C. Four. D. Five.
14. What can the music in a group do?
A. It can make people famous. B. It can make people calm down.
C. It can bring people together. D. It can create specific mental patterns.
15. What could be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music.
B. Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors.
C. Musical preferences are formed unconsciously.
D. Personal feelings matter in people’s musical preferences.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter.(我们对这种或那种音乐的喜好显然是一件主观的事情。)”可知,第一段先提出人们的音乐喜好具有主观性、不稳定的特点,进而引出下文要介绍的影响音乐偏好的因素,起到引入话题的作用。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years.(第一个因素是我们的成长方式,也就是在性格形成时期环绕我们的音乐环境。)”、原文第三段“However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences.(然而,即便是最稳定的音乐模式也会受到社会文化因素的改变,这些是影响我们音乐偏好的第二个因素。)”以及原文第四段“Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening.(没有什么会比我们聆听音乐时自身的主观感受更重要。)”可知,文中一共提到了三个影响音乐偏好的因素。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants.(或许从现代人类诞生之初,音乐就被用于在各类活动中将人们凝聚在一起,因为它能有效地调节大批参与者的身体与情绪反应。)”可知,群体中的音乐能够把人们凝聚在一起。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening.(没有什么会比我们聆听音乐时自身的主观感受更重要。)”可知,个人感受在人们的音乐偏好中起到重要作用。

第二节 (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。
The first time the shopkeeper of the musical instruments saw her, she couldn’t have been more than nine years old. She was shy, standing outside his shop, half-hidden behind the door.
She spent ten minutes outside the door, building up her courage. Then she timidly (腼腆地) approached the shopkeeper. Her eyes wandered around, attracted by the wonderful variety of instruments. “I want to buy a ukulele (四弦吉他),” she said, almost in a whisper. “Certainly,” replied the shopkeeper warmly, hoping to relax her. He led his customer to the section where the ukuleles were displayed.
“I have several models available. Beginner models start at 30 dollars. They’re not top quality, but they’re easier to play and produce sound if you’ve never played before. Mid-range instruments are between eighty and a hundred dollars, with a higher quality.” he said. Her dark eyes were open wide, staring at the instruments in wonder. “I only have 25 dollars,” she said softly. He felt a sense of pity. “Well,” he said, “I have good news for you. First-time customers get a thirty percent discount.” A spark flashed to life in her eyes, and she looked at him with hope. He took down the ukulele and handed it to her. “So you can have this one for twenty-one dollars.” Her hands closed around the instrument like it was the most precious thing she’d ever held. She handed him the money and rushed out of the shop, as if she were afraid he would change his mind.
It was a warm summer afternoon, three years later, when he took out his ukulele to practice. Making instruments was how he made his living, and playing them was his favorite. As his body moved with the music he played, he created a story in the air. But it was a long time before he realized he had an echo (回声), and seemingly someone was copying him.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence.

“Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the right way,” he said to the girl.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence. He frowned, wondering if he had just imagined it. But then, the soft music of a ukulele came again, hesitantly copying his melody. He walked over to the window and looked out. There, on the steps outside his shop sat a girl, her fingers nervously plucking the strings of a ukulele. It was the same girl from three years ago. She looked up, her eyes wide with surprise and a hint of fear. He waved at her, and she smiled nervously in return. He could see that she had grown taller, but her love for music remained the same.
“Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the right way,” he said to the girl. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked inside. The shopkeeper led her to a small practice area and showed her how to hold the ukulele properly. He guided her through the basic chords, and she quickly caught on. Her passion for music was evident in every note she played. As they played together, he realized that his small act of kindness had not only sold a ukulele but also sparked a lifelong love for music in this young girl.

Digital apps often get attacked for weakening family bonds, but a French company has found a smart solution — Famileo, a family newspaper platform since 2014. Its founder Tanguy got the idea when he helped his father set up a computer, only to see it gather dust soon after. He then realized the need for a communication tool that suits both tech-skilled young people and Internet-shy seniors, who believe traditional communication carries unique emotional value, especially for the elderly.
Famileo changes digital messages and photos that users send through the Famileo app into a family newspaper. With young users getting a PDF version, a physical copy is delivered to the door of older people each month. All data shared is safe — the company promises it will not sell users’ data and will keep the newspaper free of advertising. Senders benefit from the convenience of digital communication, while their relatives enjoy reading family updates in a printed newspaper.
Loneliness is a major problem for older people in the UK. Many Famileo users report that Famileo helps keep older relatives connected, allowing them to feel part of their big family’s day-to-day life despite the distance. At Famileo’s heart is a desire to cater to older people’s demands, even as technology develops.
Kirsteen Bell from Scotland uses Famileo to stay in touch with her mother, who lives in the countryside without the Internet. With three young children to care for, Bell can’t visit her mother often. “My mother gets the newspaper every four weeks and loves it. It keeps her updated in a way she can easily access,” she says. True connection has to be two-way, and family is a great place to start.
4. What problem was Famileo designed to solve?
A. Lack of quality family time.
B. Communication gaps between generations.
C. High cost of using computers.
D. Seniors’ trouble with reading.
5. How does Famileo benefit people?
A. It helps people travel for free. B. It provides free online lessons.
C. It prints daily newspapers for kids. D. It protects users’ personal data well.
6. Which of the following words can replace the underlined words “cater to” in paragraph 3?
A. Donate. B. Assume. C. Satisfy. D. Update.
7. Why does the writer mention Kirsteen Bell?
A. To advise people to live with parents. B. To explain how to raise young children.
C. To introduce a beautiful countryside town. D. To show the practical effect of Famileo.
C
The Maoris are the local Polynesian people of New Zealand. The Maoris originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand by boat around AD 1150. Over several centuries of isolation (隔离), the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture, with their own language and special crafts and performing arts. The early Maoris formed tribal groups based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organizations.
The arrival of Europeans, starting in the 17th century, brought great changes to the Maori way of life. The Maoris gradually learned from the Western society and culture. The primary relations between the Maoris and Europeans were largely kind, and the two cultures coexisted peacefully. Rising stress over land sales led to conflict (冲突) in the 1860s. Great social changes, decades of conflict and introduced diseases caused a sharp drop in the Maori population. By the start of the 20th century, the Maori population had begun to recover, and efforts had been made to increase their standing in broader New Zealand society and achieve social justice. Traditional Maori culture therefore enjoyed a great revival.
In 2013, there were about 600,000 Maoris in New Zealand, making up 15% of the national population. They are the second-largest ethnic group in New Zealand, after European New Zealanders. In addition, more than 120,000 Maoris live in Australia. The Maori language is still spoken to some degree by about a fifth of all Maoris, representing 3% of the total population. Many New Zealanders regularly use Maori words and expressions, such as “kia ora”, while speaking English.
Many Maoris face big economic and social problems, with lower life expectancies and incomes compared with other New Zealand ethnic groups. They suffer higher levels of crime, health problems, and educational underachievement. Some measures have been taken to close the gap between the Maoris and other New Zealanders.
8. Which is mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. The Maoris like to live in separation.
B. The Maoris have their own culture.
C. The Maoris differ from Polynesians.
D. The Maoris come originally from New Zealand.
9. What caused the fighting between the Maoris and Europeans?
A. The land problem. B. The social changes.
C. The introduced diseases. D. The culture difference.
10. What can we know about the Maori language?
A. It’s unusual for New Zealanders to speak it.
B. It’s the second-largest language in New Zealand.
C. It’s spoken by about a fifth of people worldwide.
D. Not all Maoris speak the Maori language.
11. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The characteristics of the Maoris. B. The history of the Maoris.
C. The language the Maoris use. D. The problems the Maoris face.
D
Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only over a lifetime, but also from month to month or even day to day. Yet despite such variety, there are some factors that I think are the main contributors.
The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns.
However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle.
These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously (无意识地), without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives.
12. What is the function of paragraph 1?
A. To answer a question. B. To lead into the topic.
C. To list a few reasons. D. To make comparisons.
13. How many factors that affect musical preferences are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Two. C. Four. D. Five.
14. What can the music in a group do?
A. It can make people famous. B. It can make people calm down.
C. It can bring people together. D. It can create specific mental patterns.
15. What could be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music.
B. Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors.
C. Musical preferences are formed unconsciously.
D. Personal feelings matter in people’s musical preferences.

第二节 (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。
The first time the shopkeeper of the musical instruments saw her, she couldn’t have been more than nine years old. She was shy, standing outside his shop, half-hidden behind the door.
She spent ten minutes outside the door, building up her courage. Then she timidly (腼腆地) approached the shopkeeper. Her eyes wandered around, attracted by the wonderful variety of instruments. “I want to buy a ukulele (四弦吉他),” she said, almost in a whisper. “Certainly,” replied the shopkeeper warmly, hoping to relax her. He led his customer to the section where the ukuleles were displayed.
“I have several models available. Beginner models start at 30 dollars. They’re not top quality, but they’re easier to play and produce sound if you’ve never played before. Mid-range instruments are between eighty and a hundred dollars, with a higher quality.” he said. Her dark eyes were open wide, staring at the instruments in wonder. “I only have 25 dollars,” she said softly. He felt a sense of pity. “Well,” he said, “I have good news for you. First-time customers get a thirty percent discount.” A spark flashed to life in her eyes, and she looked at him with hope. He took down the ukulele and handed it to her. “So you can have this one for twenty-one dollars.” Her hands closed around the instrument like it was the most precious thing she’d ever held. She handed him the money and rushed out of the shop, as if she were afraid he would change his mind.
It was a warm summer afternoon, three years later, when he took out his ukulele to practice. Making instruments was how he made his living, and playing them was his favorite. As his body moved with the music he played, he created a story in the air. But it was a long time before he realized he had an echo (回声), and seemingly someone was copying him.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Surprised, he stopped playing and listened, and there was silence.

“Come inside and I’ll teach you to play it the right way,” he said to the girl.
