We realized that we had little chance of finding it. The next morning, my phone beeped (哔哔响) loudly. A kind voice announced that she had something that belonged to my daughter. I ___1___ that I lived a three-hour drive away, and told her I would ask a friend to fetch the phone. My daughter had written my number on the inside of her phone’s case — good thinking! After contacting the people I know who lived near the school, I was out of ___2___ — no one could go and ___3___ the phone, not surprisingly as it was the working day and everyone was busy.

C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了远在寄宿学校的女儿丢了手机，一对好心的陌生夫妇特地来回奔波给她送手机的事情。作者从此事中感受到，人的善行能够影响到别人。 【1题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我解释道我住在三小时的车程开外，并且告诉她我会让一个朋友去拿这个手机。A. suggested建议；B. reported报道；C. explained解释；D. argued争论。根据语境可知，此处母亲“我”接到来自对方的电话，应该是与对方解释自己路程较远。故选C项。 【2题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在联系了住在学校附近的熟人后，我很不走运——没人能去接电话，这并不奇怪，因为那天是工作日，大家都很忙。A. date日期，B. luck运气；C. work工作；D. control控制。根据下文“not surprisingly as it was the working day and everyone was busy”推测，因为那天是工作日，大家都很忙，“我”并没有找到可以拿手机的人，应该是不走运的。out of luck“不走运的”。故选B项。 【3题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意同上。A. pick up捡起，获得；B. carry out执行；C. hand in上交；D. give away捐赠。根据上文语境可知，此处“我”找不到可以拿手机的人，pick up the phone“拿手机”，符合题意。故选A项。 【4题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：但当我给她发短信问她这样行不行时，她回答：“我们将会带上它，并且我们今天晚上将会开车去寄宿学校。”A. find找到；B. show展示；C. miss错过，想念；D. take带。根据下文“drive down to the boarding school”判断，陌生人应该是要带上手机去找“我”的女儿，将手机还给她。故选D项。 【5题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：令我惊讶的是，这对完美的夫妇，已经忙了一天的工作，却要在晚上来回奔波，尤其是为了把手机还给一个完全陌生的人。A. regret遗憾；B. surprise惊讶；C. amusement娱乐；D. disappointment失望。根据本句句意推测，“我”应该对于这对陌生夫妇的表现非常吃惊。故选B项。 【6题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意同上。A. especially尤其；B. certainly当然；C. definitely肯定。根据语境判断，“我”认为陌生夫妇的行为是让人惊讶的，尤其是为了陌生人。故选A项。 【7题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我给了他们方向，他们将手机递到了在公寓里的我女儿的手上。A. conducted执行；B. arranged安排；C. delivered递送；D. identified识别。根据上文可知，此处陌生夫妇将手机送到了“我”的女儿的手上。故选C项。 【8题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我有我自己的孩子，我知道一个妈妈有多担心。A. doubts怀疑；B. interests感兴趣；C. predicts预测；D. worries担心。根据“I’ve got my children of my own”可知，这位送手机的也是一位母亲，也能体会到作为一个母亲的担心。故选D项。 【9题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们原以为拿回手机的机会很渺茫，但是我们在这么短的时间内就把它拿了回来。A. free空闲的；B. slim小的，少的；C. hard困难的；D. fair公平的。根据后半句句意推测，原来对于拿回手机这件事已经不抱希望了，即希望很小。故选B项。 【10题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它很好地提醒我们世界上有善，并且一个人的行为对另一个人意味着整个世界。A. tell告诉；B. face面对；C. mean意味；D. join加入。根据语境判断，“我”从陌生夫妇的行为中知道了人的善行对于另外一个人的影响是如此之大，mean the world to another“对另外一个人意味着世界”，符合语境。故选C项。 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） A 阅读短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 The famous writer James Patterson donated $1.5 million to launch a classroom program, ___11___ was designed to help poor children read more books. It aims to bring books to 32,000 poor children who are from kindergarten to eighth grade. Patterson ___12___ （donate）more than $10 million to support literacy development since many years ago. He believes reading skills are important for the country. Patterson added, "the program will bring books to those schools and ___13___ （community）that need them the most, and that we haven't served before." The program has chosen a limited number of schools to take part this year but hopes to expand in the coming years. 【答案】11. which 12. has donated 13. communities 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了著名作家詹姆斯·帕特森通过捐赠，以帮助贫困儿童阅读更多书籍。 【11题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：著名作家詹姆斯·帕特森捐赠150万美元启动了一个课堂项目，旨在帮助贫困儿童阅读更多书籍。句中先行词为a classroom program，在非限定性定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【12题详解】 考查时态。句意：自多年前以来，帕特森已经捐赠了1000多万美元用于支持扫盲发展。根据“since many years ago.”可知，用现在完成时。主语Patterson为第三人称，所以谓语动词用has。故填has donated。 【13题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：帕特森补充说：“该项目将把书籍带到那些最需要的、我们以前从未提供过的学校和社区。”名词community为可数名词，根据those可知，用名词的复数形式。故填communities。 B 阅读短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Three-dimensional (3D) printing is now gathering steam. It is employed ___14___ (make) things ranging from orthopedic(矫形) implants to components for aircraft. The details are different according to the products and processes involved, ___15___ the underlying principle is the same. A layer of material is laid down and somehow fixed in place. Then another ___16___ ( put) on top of it. Then another. Then another. By ___17___ (vary) the shape, and sometimes the composition of each layer, objects can be crafted that would be difficult or impossible to produce with conventional techniques. On top of this, no material is wasted. 【答案】14. to make 15. but 16. is put 17. varying 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D打印技术正在快速发展，可以用来制作各种东西，同时介绍了3D打印技术的基本原则。 【详解】1.考查非谓语动词词。句意：它被用来制造各种东西，从制造骨科植入物到飞机零部件。Employ sth. to do是固定用法，表示“使用某物来做 ……”，如果此用法中的sth.做主语，应变为被动，即sth. be employed to do表示“某物被用来做 ……”，所以此处用to make来做目的状语，故填to make。 2.考查连词。句意：由于所涉及的产品和工艺不同，细节是不同的，但基本原则是相同的。空前句子“The details are different according to the products and processes involved”和空后句子“the underlying principle is the same”是转折关系，应用连词but，意为“但是”，故填but。 3.考查时态和语态。句意：然后是另一层材料被放到它的上面。分析句子结构可知，空处做谓语，句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时， 且主语another(另一层)和动词put(放)二者之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动，主语是单数，所以应用is put，故填is put。 4.考查非谓语动词。句意：通过改变每一层的形状，有时是改变每一层的构成，这样可以制作出传统技术难以或不可能制作出来的物体。此处动词vary(改变)放在介词by后，应用动名词形式，故填varying。 C 阅读短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 There are reasons to consider taking a break from social media. Firstly, when you stop to check social media, again and again, it becomes ___18___ form of multitasking, making whatever you do take longer. When you don't have to worry about your devices buzzing left and right, your productivity levels will shoot through the roof. Secondly, when people post something on social media, they tend to share only ___19___ they want others to see- the happy, exciting parts of their lives. This may seem harmless, but when you're seeing people only at their best, it's easy to feel like you're falling behind by comparison. Quitting online accounts can help block much of this social comparison, and you will end up feeling much ___20___ (happy). 【答案】18. a 19. what 20. happier 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了远离社交媒体的一些原因。 【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：首先，当你停下来查看社交媒体时，一次又一次，它变成了一种多任务形式，使你做任何事都需要更长的时间。由空后从名词form(形式)可知，此处表示“一种形式”，是泛指，应用不定冠词，且form发音不是以元音音素开头，应用a而非an，故填a。 2.考查宾语从句。句意：其次，当人们在社交媒体上发布东西时，他们倾向于只分享他们想让别人看到的东西——他们生活中快乐、令人兴奋的部分。分析句子结构可知，“they want others to see”做动词share(分享)的宾语，是宾语从句，且从句中缺少see的宾语，应用what来引导，表示“所......的东西/事情”，故填what。 3.考查形容词比较级。句意：退出网上的一些账户可以帮你屏蔽这种社会比较，你最终会感到更快乐。此处将退出网上账户后和没有退出账户时的心情作比较，表示“退出网上账户后，你会更开心”，所以应用形容词happy的比较级happier做表语，故填happier。 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分） 第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分） A Dear Lora, Greetings from the Harvard Graduate School of Education!

He was also recently the Troop’s Senior Patrol Leader, the highest ranking boy in the troop! Last summer, he, along with 15 other boys from the Troop completed scouting’s greatest adventure, backpacking over 50 miles in 7 days in the wilderness at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico! While Adam’s Scouting achievements are impressive on their own, his time in Scouts has not always been so easy. Adam has hemophilia, a medical condition that can cause severe bleeding from even a slight injury. And as a Boy Scout, spending much time out in the wilderness, it is quite common to get minor injuries. Because of his condition, Adam has had to miss some Scouting activities over the years. The first few days of Adam’s backpacking in Philmont went smooth. But on the 3rd day, while unloading his gear at a remote campsite, he felt a sharp pain in his back.Adam told the adult leaders about his back and that he was starting to not feel well.They made the decision to call Philmont base camp to seek medical attention. It was getting dark and rain threatened. Two doctors set out into the night on backcountry roads and then hiked in the last 1/2 mile to find Adam. They did some tests and decided to take him back with them to base camp. It was a tough moment for Adam and for the rest of the scout crew. While Adam returned to base camp, the rest of the boys backpacked on. To encourage Adam, they took one of his shirts with them and took photos of it along the way, which they sent to him. A few days passed and Adam was feeling better. The doctors cleared him to return to the backcountry! Finally, Adam finished the trek with his crew. He is now one of the only Boy Scouts with hemophilia to have ever participated in and completed a Philmont Trek. What encouraged Adam to take on this challenge despite the risk? “I thought it would be fun and a good thing to do as long as I was prepared. And my parents have always encouraged me not to let hemophilia be the only factor in ANY decision.” 24. What has stopped Adam from participating in some Scouting activities over the years? A. Inadequate trek experience. B. His fear of the wilderness. C. Lack of camping skills. D. His health condition. 25. Why did Adam participate in this challenging activity? A. He had a love for it. B. He was eager to be a leader. C. He wanted to set a record. D. His parents decided for him. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Adam? A. Athletic and ambitious. B. Considerate and fearless. C. Courageous and determined. D. Confident and knowledgeable. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了十五岁的童子军Adam克服重重困难，不畏艰险，完成了一项挑战的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Adam has hemophilia, a medical condition that can cause severe bleeding from even a slight injury.（Adam患有血友病，这种疾病即使是轻微的伤害也会导致严重的出血。）”和“Because of his condition, Adam has had to miss some Scouting activities over the years.（由于他的身体状况，这些年来Adam不得不错过一些童子军活动。）”可知，是健康问题阻止了Adam参加一些童子军活动。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I thought it would be fun and a good thing to do as long as I was prepared.（我认为只要我做好了准备，这将是一件有趣的好事。）”可知，Adam参加挑战是因为他觉得挑战很有乐趣，由此可推知，他很喜欢这项挑战活动。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What encouraged Adam to take on this challenge despite the risk? “I thought it would be fun and a good thing to do as long as I was prepared. And my parents have always encouraged me to not let hemophilia be the only factor in ANY decision.”（是什么鼓励亚当不顾风险接受这个挑战？“我认为只要我做好了准备，这将是一件有趣的好事。我的父母一直鼓励我不要让血友病成为做任何决定的唯一因素。”）”可知，是自己的决心和父母的鼓励，让Adam不畏危险完成这项挑战。可以推断，Adam是一个勇敢和意志坚定的人。故选C项。 C Do you listen to quiet music to help you wind down before sleep? However, this practice could be counter-productive, according to a new study by Michael K. Scullin and colleagues at Baylor University. The work, published in Psychological Medicine, found that bedtime music was associated with more sleep disruptions and that instrumental music is even worse than music with lyrics. In the first study, 199 online participants living in the US reported on their sleep quality and music listening frequency and timing, as well as their beliefs about how this affected their sleep. Almost all—87%—believed that music improves sleep, or at least does not disrupt it. However, the team found that more overall time spent listening to music was associated with poorer sleep and daytime sleepiness. Just over three quarters of the participants also reported experiencing frequent “earworms”—having a song or tune “stuck” and replaying in their minds. A quarter reported experiencing these during the night at least once per week, and these people were six times as likely to report poor sleep quality. The team’s analysis suggested that listening specifically to instrumental music near bedtime was linked to more sleep-related earworms and poorer sleep quality. The team then ran an experimental study on 48 young adults. After arriving at the sleep lab at 8:45 p. m., participants went to a quiet bedroom, where they completed questionnaires that included measures of stress, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. They also had electrodes applied, ready for the night-time polysomnography to record their brain wave activity, as well as heart rate and breathing, and reported on how relaxed, nervous, energetic, sleepy and stressed they felt. At 10:00 p. m., they were given some “downtime”, with quiet music playing. Half were randomized to hear three songs while the other half heard instrumental-only versions of these same songs. Participants reported decreases in stress and nervousness and increased relaxation after listening to either set of songs, and also showed decreases in blood pressure. So-as earlier studies have also suggested- quiet music at bedtime was indeed relaxing at the time. However, a quarter of the participants woke from sleep with an earworm, and the polysomnography data showed that instrumental versions of the songs were more likely to induce these awakenings as well as other sleep disruptions, such as shifts from deeper sleep to lighter sleep. Taken together, the findings represent “causal evidence for bedtime instrumental music affecting sleep quality via triggering earworms” the team writes. Why instrumental-only songs should have a bigger impact than music with lyrics isn’t clear. The three songs used in this study were chosen because they were likely to be familiar. Hearing them without the lyrics might have prompted the participant’s brains to try to add the words, which might have made earworms more likely. If this is the case, all instrumental music may not have the same effect. However, the data from the first study is consistent with the idea that instrumental music generally is more of a problem. 27. According to the passage, the participants in both studies______. A. were required to listen to light music B. felt their sleeping problems resolved C. had their sleeping quality monitored D. provided feedback on bedtime music 28. What does the underlined word “induce” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Lead to. B. Impact on. C. Break in. D. Focus on. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Earworms are mainly caused by music with lyrics. B. Bedtime music leads to high blood pressure and anxiety. C. Quiet music improves sleeping quality while loud music harms sleep. D. Both familiar and unfamiliar instrumental music can cause sleeping problems. 30. The passage is mainly about______. A. how instrumental music disturbs sleep B. the possible negative effect of bedtime music C. how people can improve their sleep quality D. differences between music with and without lyrics 【答案】27. D 28. A 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项最新研究表明：睡前音乐会导致更多的睡眠中断，乐器音乐甚至比有歌词的音乐更糟糕。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“A quarter reported experiencing these during the night at least once per week, and these people were six times as likely to report poor sleep quality. (四分之一的人报告说，他们每周至少在夜间经历一次这种情况，而这些人报告睡眠质量差的可能性是其他人的六倍。)”以及第四段讲到“Participants reported decreases in stress and nervousness and increased relaxation after listening to either set of songs, and also showed decreases in blood pressure. (参与者报告说，听了这两首歌后，压力和紧张情绪减轻，放松感增强，血压也有所下降。)”可知，根据文章，两项研究的参与者都提供睡前音乐反馈。故选D。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。文章第四段讲到“However, a quarter of the participants woke from sleep with an earworm, and the polysomnography data showed that instrumental versions of the songs were more likely to induce these awakenings as well as other sleep disruptions, such as shifts from deeper sleep to lighter sleep. (然而，四分之一的参与者从睡梦中醒来时患上了耳虫，多导睡眠图数据显示，这些歌曲的器乐版本更有可能引发这些觉醒以及其他睡眠中断，例如从深度睡眠转变为轻度睡眠。)”可知，第4段中带下划线的单词“induce”可能的意思是“导致”。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“If this is the case, all instrumental music may not have the same effect. However, the data from the first study is consistent with the idea that instrumental music generally is more of a problem. (如果是这样的话，所有的器乐可能都不会有相同的效果。然而，第一项研究的数据与器乐通常更成问题的观点一致。)”可知，从这篇文章推断出熟悉和不熟悉的器乐都会导致睡眠问题。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。本文介绍了一项最新研究表明：睡前音乐会导致更多的睡眠中断，乐器音乐甚至比有歌词的音乐更糟糕。尤其文章第一段讲到“The work, published in Psychological Medicine,found that bedtime music was associated with more sleep disruptions and that instrumental music is even worse than music with lyrics. (这项发表在《心理医学》上的研究发现，睡前音乐与更多的睡眠中断有关，器乐甚至比有歌词的音乐更糟糕。)”可知，这篇文章主要是关于睡前音乐可能带来的负面影响。故选B。 D Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning. So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become. But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. “The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’, just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” “All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware,” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in. 31. Brain researchers have discovered that . A. the forming of new habits can be guided B. the development of habits can be predicted C. the regulation of old habits can be transformed D. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously 32. The underlined word“ruts”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to . A. zones B. connections C. situations D. tracks 33. Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova’s view? A. Decision makes no sense in choices. B. Curiosity makes creative minds active. C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind. D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas. 34. The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us . A. to give up our traditional habits deliberately B. to create and develop new habits consciously C. to resist the application of standardized testing D. to believe that old habits conflict with new habits 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. B 34. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了大脑研究人员发现，新习惯的形成是可以被引导的。介绍了培养新习惯可以增加创造力。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.(但大脑研究人员发现，当我们有意识地养成新习惯时，我们创造了平行路径，甚至是全新的脑细胞，这些路径可以让我们的思维列车跳到新的、创新的轨道上)”可知，大脑研究人员发现，新习惯的形成是可以被引导的。故选A。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits”以及后文“Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.(相反，我们刻意灌输给自己的新习惯创造了平行的路径，可以绕过那些旧的路径)”可知，不要费心去戒除旧习惯，因为一旦这些常规轨道被植入大脑，它们就会留在那里。故画线词意思是“轨道”。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind.(《开放思想》的作者Dawna Markova说：“创新首先需要的是对奇迹的吸引。”)”以及“A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.(一个好的创新思考者总是在探索许多其他的可能性)”可知，B选项“好奇心使创造性思维活跃”符合Dawna Markova的观点。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.(我们可以通过有意识地培养新习惯来引导自己的改变，而不是认为自己是习惯不变的生物。事实上，我们尝试的新事物越多，我们就越有创造力)”结合文章主要说明了大脑研究人员发现，新习惯的形成是可以被引导的。介绍了培养新习惯可以增加创造力。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是说服我们有意识地创造和发展新的习惯。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Voluntourism Voluntourism Volunteering to help people in need combined with travelling to faraway places is a new trend in the travel industry. It is called voluntourism. ___35___ They find it is the best way to get the best of the world. Recent statistics show that in the past few years voluntourism has been one of the fastest-growing areas of tourism. More than 1.6 million people around the world are volunteers in other countries. They help build schools, assist in hospitals and do farming work in developing countries. ___36___ They keep in touch with their host families after they return home, and many return to visit. There are many reasons why people want to engage in voluntourism. When people choose to join a voluntourism program, they are joining a global network of volunteers who are living and working with diverse cultures on projects that have a positive effect. The volunteers come from all over the world, and they will share the passion for giving back and the desire to broaden horizons. Some students also see it as a gap year after school, while others simply want to take time out from a job and do something else. ___37___ However, many voluntourists do not see volunteering as what it is. They think it is a cheap way of travelling and don't really want to get involved in hard work. While voluntourism has been around for over a century, modern volunteering started with the Peace Corps, a program that the US government started in the 1960s. From then on, voluntourism has become more and more popular. Many organizations start similar projects. ___38___ And they have hundreds of different types of programs for people to choose from in more than 30 developing countries. The programs run year round and each volunteer chooses when they want to start and the duration they would like to stay for. ___39___ They say that if people really want to help those in need, there are many opportunities in their own community to do this. On the other side, volunteers are often not skilled enough for the tasks that they do. Travel experts point out that in some cases voluntourists are often taken advantage of by the organization that sets up the trips. A. Not everyone sees voluntourism in a positive way. B. Some of them establish lasting bonds with people there. C. And there are those who are bored and merely seek adventure. D. Most voluntourism organizations employ people from similar fields. E. By participating in voluntourism, they are contributing to local economy. F. People travel to other countries, learn languages and gain new experiences. G. They offer voluntourism trips to suit people's interest, experience level or age. 【答案】35. F 36. B 37. C 38. G 39.

It is essential for both children and adults because it exposes an individual to new things and equips them to become effective problem solvers. Sometimes, reading ends up being a hobby to many people, or even a career. It is from reading that exploration arises. Reading forms a fundamental part of self-improvement. Through it, people become better in understanding the world around them. It is through this vital activity that people gain a deep understanding of specific topics that are of interest to them. For instance, one can read an article or any other piece of writing on how to improve one’s self-confidence. It is thus through reading that it becomes possible for one to create a structured path towards better understanding of issues and well-informed decision making. Further, reading is crucial as it helps one to prepare to take action. Usually, before taking an action on anything, one seeks guidance and help. Guidance can be obtained from people who have gone through similar situations. However, some people turn to reading as a source of knowledge and guidance about a situation. In the 21st century, guidance and help goes a long way in influencing decision making. For example, one can read on how to cook a meal, how to play football, or even the best places to go for a vacation. In such situations, reading helps people prepare before they take any significant steps. It is also through reading that one may gain experience from other people. Since books and other reading materials are written by different people from varying backgrounds, reading exposes a reader to different experiences. Through such experiences, a reader may hasten their success towards a goal since they might avoid similar mistakes made by other people. Books contain successes, failures, and advice from different people and it is assumed that life is too short to repeat mistakes committed by other people in the past. In the case of success, one might read on the best ways to make money and avoid certain mistakes along this path. Learning about and getting to understand people who have succeeded is essential for someone who intends to follow the same path. 40. According to the author, why is reading essential for both children and adults? ______________________________________________________________________ 41. How does reading help people to prepare before taking an action? ______________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▷Reading exposes us to others’ experiences, so it will guarantee us success in achieving our goals. ______________________________________________________________________ 43. Please present the benefits that reading has brought to you and give examples. (In about 40 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because it exposes an individual to new things and equips them to become effective problem solvers. 41. By offering people knowledge and guidance about a situation. 42. Reading exposes us to others’ experiences, so it will guarantee us success in achieving our goals. According to the passage, through such experiences, a reader may hasten their success towards a goal since they might avoid similar mistakes made by other people, but it cannot guarantee success. 43. Reading brings me much joy and wisdom. When I read biographies, I learn from others’ failures and avoid similar traps. Besides, novels broaden my horizons and help me understand different people’s feelings. 【解析】 【导语】文章论述了阅读对个人成功的重要性，指出阅读能让人接触新事物、成为有效的问题解决者，有助于自我提升、为行动做准备，并能从他人经历中汲取经验教训。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“It is essential for both children and adults because it exposes an individual to new things and equips them to become effective problem solvers. (它对儿童和成人都至关重要，因为它让个体接触新事物，并使他们成为有效的问题解决者。)”可知，阅读对儿童和成人都必不可少，是因为它让人接触新事物，并使人成为有效的问题解决者。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“However, some people turn to reading as a source of knowledge and guidance about a situation. (然而，有些人求助于阅读，将其作为获取关于某种情况的知识和指导的来源。)”以及“In such situations, reading helps people prepare before they take any significant steps. (在这种情况下，阅读帮助人们在采取任何重大步骤之前做好准备。)”可知，阅读通过为人们提供关于某种情况的知识和指导，帮助人们在行动前做好准备。 【42题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Through such experiences, a reader may hasten their success towards a goal since they might avoid similar mistakes made by other people. (通过这样的经历，读者可能会加快实现目标的速度，因为他们可能会避免他人犯过的类似错误。)”可知，阅读他人的经历能帮助读者避免重蹈覆辙，从而加快成功，但并不能保证一定成功。因此，原句中“it will guarantee us success (它将保证我们成功)”这一部分表述有误，正确表述应为“it may hasten our success”或“it cannot guarantee success”。 【43题详解】 考查开放性题目。此题要求结合自身经历，阐述阅读带来的益处并举例，字数约40词。答案需真实合理，可涉及阅读带来的快乐、智慧、视野拓宽、情感理解等方面。故参考答案为：Reading brings me much joy and wisdom. When I read biographies, I learn from others’ failures and avoid similar traps. Besides, novels broaden my horizons and help me understand different people’s feelings. 第二节 作文（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三年级学生李华。美国留学生Jim在网上发帖，寻找学习伙伴帮助他提高普通话（Mandarin）水平，他以教英语作为回报。请你给他写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1．表明愿意做他的学习伙伴并说明胜任理由； 2．提出你对相互学习的建议。 Dear Jim, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I’m glad to know you’re looking for a Mandarin-learning partner and I’d love to be your partner.

He was also recently the Troop’s Senior Patrol Leader, the highest ranking boy in the troop! Last summer, he, along with 15 other boys from the Troop completed scouting’s greatest adventure, backpacking over 50 miles in 7 days in the wilderness at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico! While Adam’s Scouting achievements are impressive on their own, his time in Scouts has not always been so easy. Adam has hemophilia, a medical condition that can cause severe bleeding from even a slight injury. And as a Boy Scout, spending much time out in the wilderness, it is quite common to get minor injuries. Because of his condition, Adam has had to miss some Scouting activities over the years. The first few days of Adam’s backpacking in Philmont went smooth. But on the 3rd day, while unloading his gear at a remote campsite, he felt a sharp pain in his back.Adam told the adult leaders about his back and that he was starting to not feel well.They made the decision to call Philmont base camp to seek medical attention. It was getting dark and rain threatened. Two doctors set out into the night on backcountry roads and then hiked in the last 1/2 mile to find Adam. They did some tests and decided to take him back with them to base camp. It was a tough moment for Adam and for the rest of the scout crew. While Adam returned to base camp, the rest of the boys backpacked on. To encourage Adam, they took one of his shirts with them and took photos of it along the way, which they sent to him. A few days passed and Adam was feeling better. The doctors cleared him to return to the backcountry! Finally, Adam finished the trek with his crew. He is now one of the only Boy Scouts with hemophilia to have ever participated in and completed a Philmont Trek. What encouraged Adam to take on this challenge despite the risk? “I thought it would be fun and a good thing to do as long as I was prepared. And my parents have always encouraged me not to let hemophilia be the only factor in ANY decision.” 24. What has stopped Adam from participating in some Scouting activities over the years? A. Inadequate trek experience. B. His fear of the wilderness. C. Lack of camping skills. D. His health condition. 25. Why did Adam participate in this challenging activity? A. He had a love for it. B. He was eager to be a leader. C. He wanted to set a record. D. His parents decided for him. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Adam? A. Athletic and ambitious. B. Considerate and fearless. C. Courageous and determined. D. Confident and knowledgeable. C Do you listen to quiet music to help you wind down before sleep? However, this practice could be counter-productive, according to a new study by Michael K. Scullin and colleagues at Baylor University. The work, published in Psychological Medicine, found that bedtime music was associated with more sleep disruptions and that instrumental music is even worse than music with lyrics. In the first study, 199 online participants living in the US reported on their sleep quality and music listening frequency and timing, as well as their beliefs about how this affected their sleep. Almost all—87%—believed that music improves sleep, or at least does not disrupt it. However, the team found that more overall time spent listening to music was associated with poorer sleep and daytime sleepiness. Just over three quarters of the participants also reported experiencing frequent “earworms”—having a song or tune “stuck” and replaying in their minds. A quarter reported experiencing these during the night at least once per week, and these people were six times as likely to report poor sleep quality. The team’s analysis suggested that listening specifically to instrumental music near bedtime was linked to more sleep-related earworms and poorer sleep quality. The team then ran an experimental study on 48 young adults. After arriving at the sleep lab at 8:45 p. m., participants went to a quiet bedroom, where they completed questionnaires that included measures of stress, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. They also had electrodes applied, ready for the night-time polysomnography to record their brain wave activity, as well as heart rate and breathing, and reported on how relaxed, nervous, energetic, sleepy and stressed they felt. At 10:00 p. m., they were given some “downtime”, with quiet music playing. Half were randomized to hear three songs while the other half heard instrumental-only versions of these same songs. Participants reported decreases in stress and nervousness and increased relaxation after listening to either set of songs, and also showed decreases in blood pressure. So-as earlier studies have also suggested- quiet music at bedtime was indeed relaxing at the time. However, a quarter of the participants woke from sleep with an earworm, and the polysomnography data showed that instrumental versions of the songs were more likely to induce these awakenings as well as other sleep disruptions, such as shifts from deeper sleep to lighter sleep. Taken together, the findings represent “causal evidence for bedtime instrumental music affecting sleep quality via triggering earworms” the team writes. Why instrumental-only songs should have a bigger impact than music with lyrics isn’t clear. The three songs used in this study were chosen because they were likely to be familiar. Hearing them without the lyrics might have prompted the participant’s brains to try to add the words, which might have made earworms more likely. If this is the case, all instrumental music may not have the same effect. However, the data from the first study is consistent with the idea that instrumental music generally is more of a problem. 27. According to the passage, the participants in both studies______. A. were required to listen to light music B. felt their sleeping problems resolved C. had their sleeping quality monitored D. provided feedback on bedtime music 28. What does the underlined word “induce” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Lead to. B. Impact on. C. Break in. D. Focus on. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Earworms are mainly caused by music with lyrics. B. Bedtime music leads to high blood pressure and anxiety. C. Quiet music improves sleeping quality while loud music harms sleep. D. Both familiar and unfamiliar instrumental music can cause sleeping problems. 30. The passage is mainly about______. A. how instrumental music disturbs sleep B. the possible negative effect of bedtime music C. how people can improve their sleep quality D. differences between music with and without lyrics D Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning. So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become. But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. “The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’, just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” “All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware,” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life. The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in. 31. Brain researchers have discovered that . A. the forming of new habits can be guided B. the development of habits can be predicted C. the regulation of old habits can be transformed D. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously 32. The underlined word“ruts”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to . A. zones B. connections C. situations D. tracks 33. Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova’s view? A. Decision makes no sense in choices. B. Curiosity makes creative minds active. C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind. D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas. 34. The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us . A. to give up our traditional habits deliberately B. to create and develop new habits consciously C. to resist the application of standardized testing D. to believe that old habits conflict with new habits 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Voluntourism Voluntourism Volunteering to help people in need combined with travelling to faraway places is a new trend in the travel industry.

It is essential for both children and adults because it exposes an individual to new things and equips them to become effective problem solvers. Sometimes, reading ends up being a hobby to many people, or even a career. It is from reading that exploration arises. Reading forms a fundamental part of self-improvement. Through it, people become better in understanding the world around them. It is through this vital activity that people gain a deep understanding of specific topics that are of interest to them. For instance, one can read an article or any other piece of writing on how to improve one’s self-confidence. It is thus through reading that it becomes possible for one to create a structured path towards better understanding of issues and well-informed decision making. Further, reading is crucial as it helps one to prepare to take action. Usually, before taking an action on anything, one seeks guidance and help. Guidance can be obtained from people who have gone through similar situations. However, some people turn to reading as a source of knowledge and guidance about a situation. In the 21st century, guidance and help goes a long way in influencing decision making. For example, one can read on how to cook a meal, how to play football, or even the best places to go for a vacation. In such situations, reading helps people prepare before they take any significant steps. It is also through reading that one may gain experience from other people. Since books and other reading materials are written by different people from varying backgrounds, reading exposes a reader to different experiences. Through such experiences, a reader may hasten their success towards a goal since they might avoid similar mistakes made by other people. Books contain successes, failures, and advice from different people and it is assumed that life is too short to repeat mistakes committed by other people in the past. In the case of success, one might read on the best ways to make money and avoid certain mistakes along this path. Learning about and getting to understand people who have succeeded is essential for someone who intends to follow the same path. 40.
