The argumentative essay is a very interesting type of essay. The point of an argumentative essay is basically to make an argument. You are not telling the reader about something new or describing anything. Instead, you have to convince them about something. A good argument must be clear and logical. Indeed, many chinese students find IT difficult to write good essays in schools and universities in america. IT is not because there is no history of essays in china, rather, there is a very long history of essays, but they have their own unique features, primarily, chinese students are used to the kind of essays that put the writers argument. At the end, the first several parts introduced the topic or different views. These lead to a turn, which introduces conflict and different aspects. Finally, these are concluded in america. Most teachers like essays that state the conclusion of the argument in the first paragraph. While some people might regard many chinese students essays as badly written, IT is important to remember that they are actually written very well according to chinese style. Therefore, IT is essential to point out early how the western style is different. Once the chinese students know about the differences, they can easily adapt their writing to the correct cultural context. The argumentative essay is a very interesting type of essay.

Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges. With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood? A．She learned Kong fu for fun. B．She was interested in poems. C．She met Chinese culture early. D．She had a gift for Chinese dance. 25．(2.5分)What awakened Zhang Xueling's curiosity in Luoyang? A．The magical works of museums. B．The atmosphere of Hanfu lovers. C．The long history of Yingtian Gate. D．The classical makeup of local girls. 26．(2.5分)What made Zhang Xueling win the competition? A．Her family's support and wish. B．Her experience of wearing Hanfu. C．Her nice speech and graceful dance. D．Her deep love for ancient Luoyang. 27．(2.5分)What can be concluded from Zhang Xueling's story? A．A positive mind leads to success. B．Traditional culture should be updated. C．True passion connects different cultures. D．Mistakes can be reduced through practice. （本题10分）Wittgenstein claimed in his book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” British philosopher Russell even argued that without language, intelligent thinking was never possible. It’s widely believed that language is what makes humans different from other animals, and that thinking cannot happen without it. However, a recent study in Nature challenges this idea, showing that language and thought are different entities (实体) that work in separate brain areas. The first part of the study focused on patients with global aphasia (失语症), who lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left side of their brains. Surprisingly, researchers found they could still finish complex tasks. “If given non-verbal instructions, they can work out puzzles or pass reasoning tests,” explained Fedorenko from MIT, a co-author of the study. In the second part, the team used brain-imaging tools to observe healthy volunteers. When the volunteers performed non-verbal tasks like solving math problems, the language regions of their brains were largely inactive. This provides clear evidence suggesting that we need language to express our thoughts, but we can still think without words. So why did humans develop language if it’s not so necessary for thinking? According to Fedorenko, language mainly acts as a powerful communication tool for information exchange. “Most of what we learn about the world comes from language, not direct experience with the world,” she noted. Being able to share complex information through language gave humans a great evolutionary (进化的) advantage. Although language doesn’t necessarily generate thoughts, past research shows that it does shape how we think. For example, speakers of some languages might describe an accidental breakage as “He broke the vase,” placing emphasis on the person who caused it, while speakers of other languages might say “The vase was broken,” shifting attention toward the event itself. Undoubtedly, how we speak still heavily influences our thinking patterns. 28．(2.5分)Why were Wittgenstein and Russell mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To advertise their books. B．To introduce a common belief. C．To challenge a new study. D．To advocate philosophy learning. 29．(2.5分)What can patients with global aphasia still do? A．Learn foreign languages. B．Understand spoken instructions. C．Speak their mother tongues. D．Solve puzzles with non-verbal cues. 30．(2.5分)What is the primary function of language according to Fedorenko? A．Exchanging ideas among humans. B．Deciding humans’ evolutionary direction. C．Allowing humans to generate thoughts. D．Replacing direct experience with the world. 31．(2.5分)How does language influence thinking according to the example in the last paragraph? A．It aids reflection. B．It deepens thinking. C．It switches focus. D．It fuels imagination. （本题10分）Students’ comprehension of words in a foreign language improves if teachers pair each word with a gesture, researchers at the University of Illinois found. The aim of the study was to compare participants’ comprehension of vocabulary words in Chinese when they were taught new words paired with standard or arbitrary (任意的) gestures and without gestures. Standard gestures are representational and tend to be consistent across languages, such as those commonly used to represent drinking or talking on the telephone, said Kiel Christianson, an author of the study. Arbitrary gestures are meaningless motions that are made up by the speaker and bear no obvious connection to a particular word. The 30 student participants watched as the instructor introduced 18 new words, presenting them to the students in groups of six — six words each accompanied by arbitrary gestures, standard gestures and without gestures. Instructors and students repeated both the Chinese word and its English translation twice. After two instructional sessions, the students took a multiple-choice test, with the instructor presenting the words and associated gestures in random order and the students choosing the English translation of each word from a list of four words. When the vocabulary words were presented with standard or random gestures, students’ ability to recall the words’ meanings was 8.10 percent better than with words that were presented without gestures, the researchers found. They also found that gestures do not need to be obviously specific to facilitate learning. Christianson and his co-authors assumed that simply watching the instructor move their hands while presenting a word enabled students to create a motion-related image of that word in their mind. “Visualizing a gesture with each word creates multiple pathways into the meaning of new words and helps students remember them better,” Christianson said. However, the gestural advantage in learning declined when students were introduced to more than about 10 — 12 words at a time, the researchers found. “This suggests that instructors should introduce new vocabulary words in small batches (批),” Christianson said. “That’s a very practical application.” 32．(2.5分)What do we know about standard gestures? A．They have no obvious meaning. B．They are specific to particular cultures. C．They are made up by language experts. D．They share similar forms in various languages. 33．(2.5分)What were the students asked to do following the second instruction? A．Recall the meanings of the words. B．Pair the words with relevant gestures. C．Speak out the words based on gestures. D．Repeat the gestures the instructor used. 34．(2.5分)What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A．A suggestion for future studies. B．A major limitation of the study. C．An explanation of the research method. D．A possible reason for the study findings. 35．(2.5分)What principle would Christianson recommend while applying gesture learning? A．Limit input per session. B．Review in small batches. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Precise matching is key. （本题12.5分）Reading is one of the most important abilities for high school students. As a basic skill in English learning, it can greatly enrich our knowledge, enlarge our vocabulary and improve our comprehensive language ability. Besides, it helps us gain more information and open our eyes to the outside world. 36(2.5分) . Here are some effective ways to solve the problem. Stick to a fixed reading schedule Most students do not have a clear plan. They choose to read only when they are free or in a good mood. 37(2.5分) .

They may easily distract your attention and interrupt your train of thought. 39(2.5分) . In this way, you can concentrate fully on the content, understand the passage thoroughly and truly learn something valuable. 40(2.5分) . It requires continuous effort and self-discipline. As long as you stick to these useful methods and keep practicing patiently, you will finally form good reading habits and benefit from them for a lifetime. A．Choose reading materials of proper level B．Select advanced materials to improve your reading C．However, such casual reading cannot last for a long time D．Generally, no good habit can be built in a short period of time E．These are the main reasons why their reading always ends up failing F．However, many students have difficulty in developing lasting reading habits G．For this reason, you’d better keep away from electronic devices during reading 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My family moved to England when I was little, and my English then was rather poor. One day, our English teacher asked us to 41 what type of food we had for breakfast. Coming from a Spanish-speaking home, I replied with “cereal con leche” 42 . However, my teacher was confused and asked me to 43 my answer. Feeling shy, I became silent. Since then, I had thought to myself that I wouldn’t 44 in class unless completely necessary. After learning about that, my mom said to me, “People usually think less skilled people are disadvantaged. But I think the definition of advantage is too 45 . You can view this misadventure as the driving force behind 46 .” These words helped me achieve success. Now as a 22-year-old graduate, I am 47 because of my academic (学业的) excellence. I make a speech and share my story of learning English at the graduation ceremony: While we were studying, my mom would 48 me with the words, “Let’s study for another half hour and make progress together, Fiorella.” That gave me more 49 energy. We would sit and laugh at the table as we 50 to spell words aloud. Learning turned into a fun game. I found 51 in gaining knowledge and watching Mom learn English. On test days, I would 52 what we had done the day before, especially our 53 , to help me remember the correct spellings. Looking back, I believe my 54 has helped shape who I am today.

The former fishing village has seen the rapid development of commerce and trade, with Cantonese and English 57(1.5分) (take) root as the two official languages. But another language called Chinglish is silently emerging in this city. Like the singsong Singlish 58(1.5分) (speak) by the Singaporeans, Hong Kong people have created their own language having terms only 59(1.5分) (local) can understand. Though it started off as a substitute for Chinese characters, Chinglish translates Cantonese words and expressions into English while keeping its Cantonese 60(1.5分) (pronounce) and syntax (句法). Chinglish expressions can be literal or phonological translations (音译), which often sound 61(1.5分) nonsense to native English speakers. For example, when you are “blowing water”, you are not blowing air bubbles into the liquid for fun; it 62(1.5分) (mere) means having a small talk. In recent years, Chinglish 63(1.5分) (lift) from just being poor English to being a local language that Hong Kong people identify with, as no other language has 64(1.5分) unique grasp of Cantonese feelings. Since its vocabulary breaks away from the standard English code, Chinglish is about being playful, unconcerned, and 65(1.5分) (innovate). 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华。你国外的朋友Lisa想学好汉语，但有些困难。请你给她写一封信，给她提一些建议，内容要点如下：（1）树立信心，继续努力；（2）收听汉语节目，看汉语电视节目和电影；（3）多练习，多实践。 注意：（1）词数100左右；（2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Lisa, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I believe you’ll make great progress.

The two brothers had grown inseparable from Coco. They spent nights searching their neighborhood, posting “Lost Dog” posters on every street. They even left a bowl of food and a blanket (毯子) by the door each night, refusing to let hope fade entirely. At the same time, they reported their dog’s missing to the police station. As time passed week by week, the family gradually lost their original optimism (乐观), yet their daily practice of holding onto hope remained unshaken. “We knew Coco might be gone,” Helen Van Heerden recalled, “but those small acts kept us connected to the possibility of her return. “The brothers’ dedication (奉献) — staying up late to check parks and small streets, asking neighbors for clues — proved that love can last a long time. The good news came on a Saturday morning in mid-March. As the family packed for a weekend trip, Helen’s phone rang. Alicia Thomas, an officer from the police station, spoke in a rush, “We’ve found Coco! A woman named Joy Matodzi rescued her — she’s safe.” Alicia Thomas told them the whole story. Weeks earlier, Joy Matodzi, an animal lover who ran a small vegetable stand, was walking home when she saw a man mistreating a trembling dog on a dirt road.

M: Yeah, we often fall out over silly things like who’s going to introduce the show or who’s going to choose the questions. Did you know you waved your arms around a lot when arguing? W: Oh, I didn’t notice that. M: Using gestures to express what you’re thinking is commonplace in some countries, but a gesture can mean different things in different countries. For instance, shaking your head mostly means “no”, but in other countries it can mean the opposite. So the question is: In which country does shaking your head mean “yes”? Greece, Japan or Bulgaria? W: Umm … No idea. Maybe Bulgaria? But I do know Indians shake their heads to mean lots of things. That goes completely over my head. M: You’ve hit it this time. We need to be careful to avoid offense when greeting people from other cultures with gestures. Now we’ll invite Erin Meyer to talk about misunderstandings and confusions in multicultural conversations and analyze the reasons. （本题6分）听下面一段独白，完成下面小题。 17．(1.5分)What is basically the most important to an argumentative essay?

C．In structure. 20．(1.5分)What would an American teacher expect in the first paragraph of an essay? A．Different viewpoints. B．The supporting details. C．The writer’s argument. 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．C 20．C 【原文】    M: The argumentative essay is a very interesting type of essay. The point of an argumentative essay is basically to make an argument. You are not telling the reader about something new or describing anything. Instead, you have to convince them about something. A good argument must be clear and logical. Indeed, many Chinese students find it difficult to write good essays in schools and universities in America. It is not because there is no history of essays in China. Rather, there’s a very long history of essays. But they have their own unique features. Primarily, Chinese students are used to the kind of essays that put the writer’s argument at the end. The first several parts introduce the topic or different views. These lead to a turn which introduces conflict and different aspects. Finally, these are concluded. In America, most teachers like essays that state the conclusion of the argument in the first paragraph. While some people might regard many Chinese students’ essays as badly written, it is important to remember that they are actually written very well according to Chinese style. Therefore, it is essential to point out early how the western style is different. Once the Chinese students know about the differences, they can easily adapt their writing to the correct cultural context. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Welcome to LearnEnglish Teens — a site for teenagers who are learning English as a second or foreign language.

Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family's wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges. With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood? A．She learned Kong fu for fun. B．She was interested in poems. C．She met Chinese culture early. D．She had a gift for Chinese dance. 25．(2.5分)What awakened Zhang Xueling's curiosity in Luoyang? A．The magical works of museums. B．The atmosphere of Hanfu lovers. C．The long history of Yingtian Gate. D．The classical makeup of local girls. 26．(2.5分)What made Zhang Xueling win the competition? A．Her family's support and wish. B．Her experience of wearing Hanfu. C．Her nice speech and graceful dance. D．Her deep love for ancient Luoyang. 27．(2.5分)What can be concluded from Zhang Xueling's story? A．A positive mind leads to success. B．Traditional culture should be updated. C．True passion connects different cultures. D．Mistakes can be reduced through practice. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文讲述印尼留学生张雪玲从小接触中国舞蹈和功夫，后在洛阳被汉服氛围唤醒对中国文化的热爱，凭借融合汉服与舞蹈的英文演讲比赛斩获大奖，用热爱搭建起中外文化沟通桥梁的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kongfu(五岁时，妈妈就给她报了中国舞和功夫班)”可知张雪玲童年时期很早就接触到中国文化。 25．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture(她看到大批年轻人身着好看的汉服走在街上十分震撼，这种浓厚氛围唤醒了她对中国文化的好奇心)”可知是汉服爱好者营造的氛围唤醒了她的好奇心。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges(她不仅登台发言，还自学了《洛城旧事》这支舞蹈。在后台，她的心跳得飞快：“万一上台出错了怎么办？”然而，当她开始舞动的那一刻，所有的忧虑便烟消云散。她优雅的舞姿，搭配上华美的汉服，彻底征服了现场的观众与评委)”，由此可知出色的演讲和优美的舞蹈让她赢得比赛。 27．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine(张雪玲证明怀揣真挚热爱，任何人都能搭建文化桥梁、绽放光彩)”可知，张雪玲用真挚热爱表明任何人都能搭建文化桥梁、绽放光彩，可推知真挚的热爱能够连接不同文化。 （本题10分）Wittgenstein claimed in his book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” British philosopher Russell even argued that without language, intelligent thinking was never possible. It’s widely believed that language is what makes humans different from other animals, and that thinking cannot happen without it. However, a recent study in Nature challenges this idea, showing that language and thought are different entities (实体) that work in separate brain areas. The first part of the study focused on patients with global aphasia (失语症), who lost much of their ability to understand or speak due to damage to the left side of their brains. Surprisingly, researchers found they could still finish complex tasks. “If given non-verbal instructions, they can work out puzzles or pass reasoning tests,” explained Fedorenko from MIT, a co-author of the study. In the second part, the team used brain-imaging tools to observe healthy volunteers. When the volunteers performed non-verbal tasks like solving math problems, the language regions of their brains were largely inactive. This provides clear evidence suggesting that we need language to express our thoughts, but we can still think without words. So why did humans develop language if it’s not so necessary for thinking? According to Fedorenko, language mainly acts as a powerful communication tool for information exchange. “Most of what we learn about the world comes from language, not direct experience with the world,” she noted. Being able to share complex information through language gave humans a great evolutionary (进化的) advantage. Although language doesn’t necessarily generate thoughts, past research shows that it does shape how we think. For example, speakers of some languages might describe an accidental breakage as “He broke the vase,” placing emphasis on the person who caused it, while speakers of other languages might say “The vase was broken,” shifting attention toward the event itself. Undoubtedly, how we speak still heavily influences our thinking patterns. 28．(2.5分)Why were Wittgenstein and Russell mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To advertise their books. B．To introduce a common belief. C．To challenge a new study. D．To advocate philosophy learning. 29．(2.5分)What can patients with global aphasia still do? A．Learn foreign languages. B．Understand spoken instructions. C．Speak their mother tongues. D．Solve puzzles with non-verbal cues. 30．(2.5分)What is the primary function of language according to Fedorenko? A．Exchanging ideas among humans. B．Deciding humans’ evolutionary direction. C．Allowing humans to generate thoughts. D．Replacing direct experience with the world. 31．(2.5分)How does language influence thinking according to the example in the last paragraph? A．It aids reflection. B．It deepens thinking. C．It switches focus. D．It fuels imagination. 【答案】28．B 29．D 30．A 31．C 【导语】本文主要介绍人们普遍认为语言是思维的基础，而一项新研究推翻了这一观点，证实语言与思维相互独立，并阐述了语言的核心功能以及语言对人类思维方式的塑造作用。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It’s widely believed that language is what makes humans different from other animals, and that thinking cannot happen without it.(人们普遍认为，语言是人类区别于其他动物的特征，且思维离不开语言。)”可知，文章开篇引用维特根斯坦和罗素的观点，是为了引出这一长期以来被广泛接受的普遍认知（common belief），为后文介绍新研究的挑战做铺垫。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“If given non-verbal instructions, they can work out puzzles or pass reasoning tests(如果给到非语言指令，他们依然可以解开谜题、通过推理测试)”可知，完全性失语症患者依旧可以凭借非语言提示解谜。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“According to Fedorenko, language mainly acts as a powerful communication tool for information exchange.(据Fedorenko称，语言主要作为一种强大的交流工具，用于信息交换。)”可知，Fedorenko认为语言的主要功能是帮助人类交流想法、交换信息。 31．推理判断题。推根据最后一段中的“For example, speakers of some languages might describe an accidental breakage as “He broke the vase,” placing emphasis on the person who caused it, while speakers of other languages might say “The vase was broken,” shifting attention toward the event itself.(例如，说某些语言的人可能会把意外打碎描述为“他打碎了花瓶”，强调肇事者；而说另一些语言的人可能会说“花瓶碎了”，将注意力转移到事件本身。)”可知，语言会改变人们思考的关注点。 （本题10分）Students’ comprehension of words in a foreign language improves if teachers pair each word with a gesture, researchers at the University of Illinois found. The aim of the study was to compare participants’ comprehension of vocabulary words in Chinese when they were taught new words paired with standard or arbitrary (任意的) gestures and without gestures. Standard gestures are representational and tend to be consistent across languages, such as those commonly used to represent drinking or talking on the telephone, said Kiel Christianson, an author of the study. Arbitrary gestures are meaningless motions that are made up by the speaker and bear no obvious connection to a particular word. The 30 student participants watched as the instructor introduced 18 new words, presenting them to the students in groups of six — six words each accompanied by arbitrary gestures, standard gestures and without gestures. Instructors and students repeated both the Chinese word and its English translation twice. After two instructional sessions, the students took a multiple-choice test, with the instructor presenting the words and associated gestures in random order and the students choosing the English translation of each word from a list of four words. When the vocabulary words were presented with standard or random gestures, students’ ability to recall the words’ meanings was 8.10 percent better than with words that were presented without gestures, the researchers found. They also found that gestures do not need to be obviously specific to facilitate learning. Christianson and his co-authors assumed that simply watching the instructor move their hands while presenting a word enabled students to create a motion-related image of that word in their mind. “Visualizing a gesture with each word creates multiple pathways into the meaning of new words and helps students remember them better,” Christianson said. However, the gestural advantage in learning declined when students were introduced to more than about 10 — 12 words at a time, the researchers found. “This suggests that instructors should introduce new vocabulary words in small batches (批),” Christianson said. “That’s a very practical application.” 32．(2.5分)What do we know about standard gestures? A．They have no obvious meaning. B．They are specific to particular cultures. C．They are made up by language experts. D．They share similar forms in various languages. 33．(2.5分)What were the students asked to do following the second instruction? A．Recall the meanings of the words. B．Pair the words with relevant gestures. C．Speak out the words based on gestures. D．Repeat the gestures the instructor used. 34．(2.5分)What is paragraph 6 mainly about? A．A suggestion for future studies. B．A major limitation of the study. C．An explanation of the research method. D．A possible reason for the study findings. 35．(2.5分)What principle would Christianson recommend while applying gesture learning? A．Limit input per session. B．Review in small batches. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Precise matching is key. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．D 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了伊利诺伊大学关于将手势与外语单词配对可提升学生单词理解的研究，包括研究目的、手势类型、实验过程及发现。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第三段“Standard gestures are representational and tend to be consistent across languages, such as those commonly used to represent drinking or talking on the telephone, said Kiel Christianson, an author of the study. (该研究的作者Kiel Christianson说，标准手势具有代表性，在不同语言中往往是一致的，比如通常用来表示喝东西或打电话的手势)”可知，标准手势在不同语言中形式相似。故选D项。 33．细节理解题。根据第五段“After two instructional sessions, the students took a multiple-choice test, with the instructor presenting the words and associated gestures in random order and the students choosing the English translation of each word from a list of four words. (在两次教学之后，学生们参加了一次选择题测试，教师以随机顺序呈现单词和相关手势，学生们从四个单词的列表中选择每个单词的英文翻译)”可知，学生需根据单词及对应手势回忆词义。故选A项。 34．主旨大意题。根据第六段“Christianson and his co-authors assumed that simply watching the instructor move their hands while presenting a word enabled students to create a motion-related image of that word in their mind. “Visualizing a gesture with each word creates multiple pathways into the meaning of new words and helps students remember them better,” Christianson said. (Christianson和他的合著者认为，学生在看到教师展示单词时做手势，就能在脑海中形成与该单词相关的动作意象。他表示：“将每个单词与手势可视化，能为新单词的词义建立多种记忆路径，帮助学生更好地记住单词。”)”可知，本段解释了“手势能提升单词理解”这一研究结果的背后原因。故选D项。 35．细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, the gestural advantage in learning declined when students were introduced to more than about10-12 words at a time, the researchers found. “This suggests that instructors should introduce new vocabulary words in small batches (批),” Christianson said. “That’s a very practical application.” (然而，研究人员发现，当学生一次学习10-12个单词以上时，手势在学习中的优势就会减弱。Christianson说：“这表明教师应该小批量地介绍新词汇，这是一个非常实际的应用。”)”可知，Christianson建议每次学习的单词量要有限制。故选A项。 （本题12.5分）Reading is one of the most important abilities for high school students.

However, my teacher was confused and asked me to 43 my answer. Feeling shy, I became silent. Since then, I had thought to myself that I wouldn’t 44 in class unless completely necessary. After learning about that, my mom said to me, “People usually think less skilled people are disadvantaged. But I think the definition of advantage is too 45 . You can view this misadventure as the driving force behind 46 .” These words helped me achieve success. Now as a 22-year-old graduate, I am 47 because of my academic (学业的) excellence.

On test days, I would 52 what we had done the day before, especially our 53 , to help me remember the correct spellings. Looking back, I believe my 54 has helped shape who I am today.

The former fishing village has seen the rapid development of commerce and trade, with Cantonese and English 57(1.5分) (take) root as the two official languages. But another language called Chinglish is silently emerging in this city. Like the singsong Singlish 58(1.5分) (speak) by the Singaporeans, Hong Kong people have created their own language having terms only 59(1.5分) (local) can understand. Though it started off as a substitute for Chinese characters, Chinglish translates Cantonese words and expressions into English while keeping its Cantonese 60(1.5分) (pronounce) and syntax (句法). Chinglish expressions can be literal or phonological translations (音译), which often sound 61(1.5分) nonsense to native English speakers. For example, when you are “blowing water”, you are not blowing air bubbles into the liquid for fun; it 62(1.5分) (mere) means having a small talk. In recent years, Chinglish 63(1.5分) (lift) from just being poor English to being a local language that Hong Kong people identify with, as no other language has 64(1.5分) unique grasp of Cantonese feelings. Since its vocabulary breaks away from the standard English code, Chinglish is about being playful, unconcerned, and 65(1.5分) (innovate). 【答案】 56．whom 57．taking 58．spoken 59．locals 60．pronunciation 61．like 62．merely 63．has been lifted 64．a 65．innovative 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了香港除粤语和英语两大官方语言外，独特的港式中式英语（Chinglish）悄然兴起。 【详解】56．考查定语从句。句意：香港是700多万人的家园，其中超过88%的人说粤语。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是people，指人，关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语，应用关系代词whom引导。故填whom。 57．考查非谓语动词。句意：这座昔日的渔村见证了商贸的飞速发展，粤语和英语也扎根成为两大官方语言。此处是with复合结构，Cantonese and English和take之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词，作宾语补足语。故填taking。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：和新加坡人所说的抑扬顿挫的新加坡式英语一样，香港人创造出了属于自己的独特语言，里面有着只有当地人才懂的表达。空处是非谓语动词，Singlish和speak之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填spoken。 59．考查名词复数。句意：和新加坡人所说的抑扬顿挫的新加坡式英语一样，香港人创造出了属于自己的独特语言，里面有着只有当地人才懂的表达。local“当地人”是可数名词，此处应用复数形式，表示泛指。故填locals。 60．考查名词。句意：虽然它一开始是作为汉字的替代品，但港式中式英语将粤语单词和表达翻译成英语，同时保留了粤语的发音和句法。空处应填名词pronunciation，和syntax并列，作keeping的宾语。故填pronunciation。 61．考查介词。句意：港式中式英语表达有直译和音译两种，在以英语为母语的人听来常常毫无意义。sound like是固定短语，意为“听起来像”。故填like。 62．考查副词。句意：例如，当别人说“blowing water”时，并不是往水里吹气泡玩乐，它仅仅表示闲聊。空处修饰动词means，应用副词merely，作状语。故填merely。 63．考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，港式中式英语不再只是蹩脚的英语，已然提升为香港人产生归属感的本土语言，因为没有其他语言能如此独特地诠释粤语的韵味。根据时间状语In recent years可知，句子应用现在完成时，且lift和Chinglish之间是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语Chinglish表示单数意义，助动词用has。故填has been lifted。 64．考查冠词。句意：近年来，港式中式英语不再只是蹩脚的英语，已然提升为香港人产生归属感的本土语言，因为没有其他语言能如此独特地诠释粤语的韵味。have a/an... grasp of是固定短语，意为“理解，掌握”，unique的发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 65．考查形容词。句意：港式中式英语的词汇脱离标准英语规范，风格随性有趣、不拘一格且富有创意。空处和playful，unconcerned并列，作表语，应用形容词innovative，意为“创新的”。故填innovative。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华。你国外的朋友Lisa想学好汉语，但有些困难。请你给她写一封信，给她提一些建议，内容要点如下：（1）树立信心，继续努力；（2）收听汉语节目，看汉语电视节目和电影；（3）多练习，多实践。 注意：（1）词数100左右；（2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Lisa, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I believe you’ll make great progress.

The two brothers had grown inseparable from Coco. They spent nights searching their neighborhood, posting “Lost Dog” posters on every street. They even left a bowl of food and a blanket (毯子) by the door each night, refusing to let hope fade entirely. At the same time, they reported their dog’s missing to the police station. As time passed week by week, the family gradually lost their original optimism (乐观), yet their daily practice of holding onto hope remained unshaken. “We knew Coco might be gone,” Helen Van Heerden recalled, “but those small acts kept us connected to the possibility of her return. “The brothers’ dedication (奉献) — staying up late to check parks and small streets, asking neighbors for clues — proved that love can last a long time. The good news came on a Saturday morning in mid-March. As the family packed for a weekend trip, Helen’s phone rang. Alicia Thomas, an officer from the police station, spoke in a rush, “We’ve found Coco! A woman named Joy Matodzi rescued her — she’s safe.” Alicia Thomas told them the whole story. Weeks earlier, Joy Matodzi, an animal lover who ran a small vegetable stand, was walking home when she saw a man mistreating a trembling dog on a dirt road. When she saw its silver collar (颈圈) and its tearful eyes, she immediately knew that she must help that dog. She was sure that no pet should be treated like trash. When the man demanded $15 to free the dog, Joy paid without hesitation, and then she rushed to the police station to report it. After Alicia Thomas detailed the story, she asked the Van Heerden family to come to the police station to bring the dog home. 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。 The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The family gave up their trip and drove to the police station in high spirits. As soon as they entered the room, Coco let out an excited bark and dashed toward the brothers, who knelt down to hug her tightly. Tears of joy rolled down their cheeks as they stroked her shaggy fur, checking if she was hurt. Helen held Coco in her arms, murmuring, “We thought we’d lost you forever.” When they met Joy, the family thanked her repeatedly, offering money as a reward, but Joy refused with a smile, saying, “Anyone who loves animals would do the same.” Inspired by what Joy did, the two brothers decided to help animals in need. They used their pocket money to buy food and water bowls, placing them in parks for stray animals. With their parents’ help, they set up a small “animal rescue corner” in their yard, where they took care of injured cats and dogs they found. They also made posters to call on neighbors to treat animals kindly. Whenever someone asked why they did this, the brothers would say proudly, “Joy saved Coco, and we want to pass on her kindness.” 【导语】文章以寻找失踪的狗狗Coco为线索展开，讲述狗狗失踪后Van Heerden家的两个儿子想尽一切办法寻找它，都但没有成功。几周过去了，就在大家失去希望时，警察Alicia Thomas打来电话说狗狗已经被找到，并讲述了Joy Matodzi发现并解救Coco的经过。听了消息，Van Heerden一家放弃度假，前往警察局接Coco。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“这家人放弃了旅行，兴高采烈地开车去了警察局。”可知，第一段可描写他们见到Coco的场景，对Joy的感激，以及Joy的回应。 ②根据第二段首句“受到Joy 的启发，兄弟俩决定帮助有需要的动物。”可知，第二段可描写兄弟俩是如何帮助动物的（如：给流浪狗提供水和食物，以及在家搭建临时庇护所，提醒人们保护动物等）。 2.续写线索：开车去警局——见到Coco和她互动——感激Joy Matodzi——Joy Matodzi的回应——受到启发帮助动物——帮助的具体方法 3.词类激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/walk into/step into ②拒绝：refuse/decline ③购买：buy/purchase 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②骄傲地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】As soon as they entered the room, Coco let out an excited bark and dashed toward the brothers, who knelt down to hug her tightly. （运用了as soon as引导的时间状语从句，和who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When they met Joy, the family thanked her repeatedly, offering money as a reward, but Joy refused with a smile, saying, “Anyone who loves animals would do the same.”（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，现在分词短语作状语，和who引导的定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
