Dan Mancina is a skateboarder whose jaw-dropping videos get hundreds of thousands of views. Mancina also happens to be blind, and videos of him using his white cane (手杖) as he skateboards have gained admiration from fans around the world.
“I’ve lost my vision slowly throughout my life,” Mancina said. It wasn’t until his mid-20s that his condition—an eye disease—started to affect his day-to-day life, stopping him from driving and biking. The Michigan native started skating at seven, and got into it more seriously at 13, saying the sport helps him express himself. He stopped skating for a couple of years. This period, the 35-year-old said, was his “lowest point”.
However, mobility training helped him gain confidence. Slowly, he returned to doing what he loved. Mancina started filming short videos of his progress and posting them online and met a new group of people to skate with, gaining enough confidence to return to the streets. “I was just actually trying it, and then realized I was still the same person and that I could still do all the things that I love,” he said.
Now, Mancina wants to create spaces where visually impaired (视力受损的) people can enjoy the sport. “I wanted to build the first skatepark designed for visually impaired people, so I started a foundation called ‘Keep Pushing’ and have been raising money ever since for a few years now,” he said. The park, set to be built in Michigan, will use adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, to make it safe and accessible.
“To change the perception of the visually impaired, I started my social media stuff. Some people think it’s crazy for a blind person to skate. It’s not that crazy in my head. I just enjoy skating. I encourage people to think that way—don't let other people decide what you can and can't do. You know. It's all up to you,” Mancina added.
24.Which of the following best describes Mancina skateboarding?
A.Time-consuming. B.Breath-taking. C.Labour-saving. D.Stress-reducing.
25.What happened to Mancina before he started skateboarding again?
A.His eye disease had been cured. B.He lost all interest in skateboarding.
C.His story inspired many disabled people. D.He experienced the worst moment of his life.
26.What can be learned about Mancina as he started skateboarding again?
A.He went through a lot of suffering.
B.He had a sense of belonging gradually.
C.He was very anxious about his performance.
D.He was optimistic about the spread of the sport.
27.Why does Mancina post videos of his skateboarding online?
A.To improve the image of blind people. B.To introduce the skatepark he has built.
C.To persuade more people to skateboard. D.To raise money for the visually impaired.
C
In Florida’s Everglades, few species are more closely tied to the habitat’s health than an endangered bird, the snail kite. The Everglade snail kite eats just one thing: snails, a species that relies almost entirely on a resource usually abundant in the freshwater marshes (沼泽).
Over the last century, as much of the Everglades dried up, droughts contributed to the snail kite’s decline, and by 2007, there were fewer than 800 remaining. But the kite has bounced back recently thanks to an exotic (外来的) snail. It’s a rare case of an invasive (侵入的) species having a positive impact.
Robert Fletcher, a University of Florida professor who directs a snail kite monitoring program, said the invasive species was first spotted in 2004. Within a few years, it had expanded through much of the Everglades. “And it was around that time,” he said, “that we started to see snail kite numbers increase.”
No one’s sure about how the exotic snails were introduced into the Everglades. They’re related to Florida’s apple snails and are commonly used in home aquariums (鱼缸). The invader, the island apple snail, is larger than its Florida cousin. It lays eggs in the thousands visible on the stalks (茎) of many of the marsh plants.
Efforts to restore Florida’s Everglades have helped the snail kite and restored native vegetation. It’s been in the works for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is increasing gradually, although hard to measure. In the meantime, scientists say the invasive snail may have helped pull Florida’s endangered snail kite back from the threat of extinction.
But Fletcher is concerned about the potential impact the species will have on the Everglades over the long term. He said, “What we should be thinking about is how we restore native snails to get those benefits rather than relying on this non-native species that can have damaging impacts on the ecosystem.” The invasive snails may already have caused losses to some native marsh plants, indicating that trouble may come very soon.
28.What does the underlined phrase “bounced back” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Recovered. B.Departed. C.Emerged. D.Jumped.
29.What is a major cause of the snail kite’s decline?
A.The disappearance of their habitat. B.The shortage of food due to droughts.
C.The increasing number of other species. D.The introduction of an invasive species.
30.What do we know about the invasive snails?
A.Their eggs are hard to spot on the stalks.
B.They are smaller than native apple snails.
C.Home aquariums are an ideal habitat for them.
D.They increase in population around the Everglades.
31.What conclusion can be drawn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Human efforts apparently have proven to be effective.
B.The benefits of the invasive snails outweigh the harms.
C.The invasive snails pose little threat to the local ecosystem.
D.Restoring the native ecosystem is costly but necessary in the long run.
D
Research has shown that listening to music while showering, taking a walk or travelling to school could affect your ability to think outside the box and come up with artistic or creative things to do. Experts say being bored can lead to daydreaming plus the birth of new ideas.
While there is nothing wrong with listening to music, doing so when taking a shower or going for a walk takes away time that could be spent thinking about yourself and your life—the perfect time to let your creative juices flow. Happiness expert Gretchen Rubin said, “You need this open-searching time in order for new ideas to spring up. This is why people get ideas in the shower or in the middle of the night—it’s a period of time when the brain creates its own fun. It’s when I’m bored that I have big insights because my brain is open and trying to entertain itself.”
A recent study by psychologists showed the same process at work. In the research, two groups of people were expected to come up with proposals. They were then asked to complete the task in two backgrounds. One is in a quiet room while the other is with music playing. Researchers found, compared to participants who completed tasks in a quiet background, participants who listened to music performed less creatively.
So, is it best to throw away the bath-time tunes? Most people said the research was a real mood killer. One said, “Sometimes, I need the music to cover all the thoughts I don’t want to think.” Another commented, “Many people have too much going on in their heads. That’s why they listen to music in the shower, by which they can actually relax.” But other listeners said they liked having quiet time while travelling home at the end of the day.
In any case, striking a good balance and listening to music sometimes but being quiet at other times could be the best balance in our life.
32.What do the experts find according to the first paragraph?
A.Keeping our minds busy brings in new ideas. B.Listening to music helps to bring inspiration.
C.Taking a walk keeps us from daydreaming. D.Feeling bored tends to stir up our creativity.
33.How does the psychologists do the research?
A.By observing through daily life. B.By referring to former reports.
C.By carrying out an experiment. D.By filling up a questionnaire.
34.How do most people find the result of the research?
A.Unacceptable. B.Misleading. C.Confusing. D.Convincing.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Does your playlist really appeal to you? B.Is it time to throw away your playlist?
C.Listening to music keeps us mentally fit. D.Being quiet is always a good habit for us.

How to Stay Positive around Negative People
A positive attitude benefits your physical and mental health. However, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude when other people are negative. The best way is to be yourself and to form a flexible mindset. ____36____
● Be in charge of your attitude. The first step is to remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission. ____37____ You should remind yourself of it frequently when you are under the influence of negative people. Moreover, taking a quick walk is a good way you can maintain your positive attitude.
● ____38____ If all your attention is on the negative person, you'll be more likely to be caught in their negativity. Pay attention to what you do, and you'll create a distance between yourself and the other person. After all, you hardly change them, but yourself. Your priority is to maintain your own happiness.
● Use mottos or phrases. Repeating a motto or a phrase to yourself can help you remain positive. ____39____ Some people find mottos from classic literature, while others prefer well-known phrases from religious beliefs. An example of a motto might be: “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart,” or the Buddhist motto, “Om mani padme hum.”
● Set social boundaries. ____40____ Then, you have to learn to say no to them, or you can't have a life of your own. Even staying with negative people, try to make sure you're meeting in a group rather than just the two of you. If you're friends on social media, unfollowing the posts of the negative person is one way to minimize your contact with the person.
A.Focus on yourself.
B.Transform others’ attitude.
C.It is meaningful and highly individual to each person.
D.It is important to sympathize the negative people.
E.You can use the following advice to help you do this.
F.Be aware of the things or people that threaten your positivity.
G.Avoid falling into the trap of feeling like a victim of someone's bad attitude.

67.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。
My brother Matthew had always expected to have a little brother. When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and cowardly (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brothers and sisters, caring and helping each other.
It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough he was to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed.
One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn't want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together—just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits.
In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help on a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned.
"Are you okay?" My brother asked from the driver's seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared.
Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I'd seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的).
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
It was my turn to give him help.

【听力原文】
【Text 1】
W: Your home always looks so perfect. Do you pay a cleaner to do it?
M: No. I guess I just find cleaning relaxing. But it helps that I don’t have kids yet. My sister loves cleaning too, but her place is always a mess since she had her baby.
【Text 2】
M: It’s nine a.m. Isn’t the museum supposed to open at this time?
W: No, it opens an hour later and closes half an hour earlier on Saturdays. Never mind. Let’s go for a coffee while we wait.
【Text 3】
M: I found this package in front of my door. But the note says it’s for apartment B.
W: Oh, thanks yes. I was wondering where this gift from my mother was. Now here it is. Thank you.
【Text 4】
W: I’m so tired all the time even though I get plenty of sleep.
M: What’s your diet like? You’ve been exercising a lot by lifting weights at the gym. That’s great. But you need to make sure you’re eating enough or you’ll be low on energy.
【Text 5】
M: Kids, the topic of our final project will be Asia.
W: Asia is one of the largest continents. How could we cover China, Japan, India, Iran and all the other interesting Asian countries.
M: Focus on foods, traditions or arts. I know you can do it.
【Text 6】
W: Thanks Andrew. It’s good that our sales are holding up well. But we have to think of the future which is self-driving. Colin, what progress have we made on our self-driving cars?
M: We have bought good maps from Google which the cars can follow. And we made progress on the cars battery and wheels. But our cars still can’t avoid blocks one hundred percent correctly.
W: They need to be perfect.
M: Of course and that is a problem. The human brain is well developed and can make decisions quickly and smartly. But the car’s brain doesn’t work that way.
【Text 7】
M: Is that a smart watch?
W: Yes, my dad bought it for my birthday.
M: It’s cute. What can it do?
W: I can receive calls and texts but I can’t really reply to texts on it. I can send symbols like a smiling face but that’s it.
M: I see.
W: But it’s great for health and fitness. It counts my daily steps for me.
M: Right. You’re supposed to take ten thousand steps a day, aren’t you.
W: Yes, to maintain general fitness. But I aim to take at least fifteen thousand steps a day.
M: How many have you done so far today.
W: Let’s see. Just over eight thousand.
M: Not bad.
【Text 8】
M: Are you still looking for a job?
W: Yes, I’ve had three interviews this week. On Tuesday I interviewed for a job as a reporter at a local newspaper.
M: How was it?
W: It was quite stressful.
M: I can imagine.
W: On Wednesday I had a video interview with an advertising company.
M: That sounds exciting.
W: I’m sure it would be but I’d have to move into the city and I’m not sure I want to live so far from my family.
M: Fair enough.
W: On Thursday, I had an interview at a hotel in the center of town. If I should get the job I’d be in charge of the hotel’s social media.
M: Sounds fun.
W: And I’d get to stay free in the hotel whenever I liked. I think that one is my favorite so far.
M: When will you know the result?
W: By Monday hopefully.
【Text 9】
W: With my company we’ll make traveling more convenient and cheaper than ever. According to researchers more than half of tourists cannot find affordable food transportation or hotels at major travel destinations.
M: Interesting. You know I took a trip to New York with my family and couldn't find a meal under fifteen dollars or a room under one hundred dollars anywhere.
W: That's a common problem. With my service easy travel you could choose from a list of local people to guide your trip.
M: A personal tour guide would be pretty expensive though right.
W: Traditionally, yes. Tour guides cost over two hundred dollars per day but through easy travel guides cost as low as twenty dollars per day. Within the APP tourists are connected with local college students or people who can discuss prices.
M: Sign me up. My bank can provide the funding you need to start the APP. Where do you plan to start.
W: Right here in Paris, sir. Our home country France welcomes around ninety million tourists per year. Then we can expand our operations to other popular destinations in Australia, China and the US.
【Text 10】
Thanks, everyone. I’m Sam Anderson. I’m so thankful for being part of this student body. Students in our school come from different cultures and different backgrounds. It has been a definite advantage for us to exchange ideas and cultures easily. That also made us outstanding and different to other schools. However, at Singapore international school, we have decreasing scores in science math and writing — subjects in which we once led the nation. So it’s a question for the student body and teaching staff. Our biggest issue is the decreased funding for school materials and facilities. Without modern technology and updated textbooks, there’s no wonder that our student body is falling behind. As your student body President, I promised to bring back school fundraisers, car wash events, and school clothing sales. Anything we can do to increase the money available for our school will aid in our success and improvement. Thanks my friends. And remember to pick Sam Anderson for a richer future. Next, please welcome Mr. Shang from the geography department back to the stage, followed by a few closing words from our head teacher, Ms. Hsu.

Dan Mancina is a skateboarder whose jaw-dropping videos get hundreds of thousands of views. Mancina also happens to be blind, and videos of him using his white cane (手杖) as he skateboards have gained admiration from fans around the world.
“I’ve lost my vision slowly throughout my life,” Mancina said. It wasn’t until his mid-20s that his condition—an eye disease—started to affect his day-to-day life, stopping him from driving and biking. The Michigan native started skating at seven, and got into it more seriously at 13, saying the sport helps him express himself. He stopped skating for a couple of years. This period, the 35-year-old said, was his “lowest point”.
However, mobility training helped him gain confidence. Slowly, he returned to doing what he loved. Mancina started filming short videos of his progress and posting them online and met a new group of people to skate with, gaining enough confidence to return to the streets. “I was just actually trying it, and then realized I was still the same person and that I could still do all the things that I love,” he said.
Now, Mancina wants to create spaces where visually impaired (视力受损的) people can enjoy the sport. “I wanted to build the first skatepark designed for visually impaired people, so I started a foundation called ‘Keep Pushing’ and have been raising money ever since for a few years now,” he said. The park, set to be built in Michigan, will use adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, to make it safe and accessible.
“To change the perception of the visually impaired, I started my social media stuff. Some people think it’s crazy for a blind person to skate. It’s not that crazy in my head. I just enjoy skating. I encourage people to think that way—don't let other people decide what you can and can't do. You know. It's all up to you,” Mancina added.
24.Which of the following best describes Mancina skateboarding?
A.Time-consuming. B.Breath-taking. C.Labour-saving. D.Stress-reducing.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Mancina also happens to be blind, and videos of him using his white cane (手杖) as he skateboards have gained admiration from fans around the world. (曼西纳碰巧也是个盲人,他在滑板时使用白色拐杖的视频赢得了世界各地粉丝的赞赏。)”可知,曼西纳滑板运动令人叹为观止。故选B。
25.What happened to Mancina before he started skateboarding again?
A.His eye disease had been cured. B.He lost all interest in skateboarding.
C.His story inspired many disabled people. D.He experienced the worst moment of his life.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He stopped skating for a couple of years. This period, the 35-year-old said, was his “lowest point”. (他停止滑冰有几年了。35岁的他说,这段时间是他的“最低点”。)”可知,曼西纳在他再次开始玩滑板之前经历了他一生中最糟糕的时刻。故选D。
26.What can be learned about Mancina as he started skateboarding again?
A.He went through a lot of suffering.
B.He had a sense of belonging gradually.
C.He was very anxious about his performance.
D.He was optimistic about the spread of the sport.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I was just actually trying it, and then realized I was still the same person and that I could still do all the things that I love,” he said. (“我只是在尝试,然后意识到我还是原来的我,我仍然可以做所有我喜欢的事情,”他说。)可知,曼西纳重新开始玩滑板时,逐渐有了归属感。故选B。
27.Why does Mancina post videos of his skateboarding online?
A.To improve the image of blind people. B.To introduce the skatepark he has built.
C.To persuade more people to skateboard. D.To raise money for the visually impaired.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““To change the perception of the visually impaired, I started my social media stuff. Some people think it’s crazy for a blind person to skate. It’s not that crazy in my head. I just enjoy skating. I encourage people to think that way—don't let other people decide what you can and can't do. You know. It's all up to you,” Mancina added. (“为了改变视障人士的看法,我开始了我的社交媒体项目。有些人认为盲人滑冰是疯狂的。我脑子里没那么疯狂。我只是喜欢滑冰。我鼓励人们这样想——不要让别人决定你能做什么,不能做什么。你知道的。这完全取决于你,”曼西纳补充道。)”可知,Mancina发布他玩滑板的视频是为了改善盲人的形象。故选A。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了盲人滑板手Dan Mancina为视力有缺陷的人群创造滑板运动空间的故事。
C
In Florida’s Everglades, few species are more closely tied to the habitat’s health than an endangered bird, the snail kite. The Everglade snail kite eats just one thing: snails, a species that relies almost entirely on a resource usually abundant in the freshwater marshes (沼泽).
Over the last century, as much of the Everglades dried up, droughts contributed to the snail kite’s decline, and by 2007, there were fewer than 800 remaining. But the kite has bounced back recently thanks to an exotic (外来的) snail. It’s a rare case of an invasive (侵入的) species having a positive impact.
Robert Fletcher, a University of Florida professor who directs a snail kite monitoring program, said the invasive species was first spotted in 2004. Within a few years, it had expanded through much of the Everglades. “And it was around that time,” he said, “that we started to see snail kite numbers increase.”
No one’s sure about how the exotic snails were introduced into the Everglades. They’re related to Florida’s apple snails and are commonly used in home aquariums (鱼缸). The invader, the island apple snail, is larger than its Florida cousin. It lays eggs in the thousands visible on the stalks (茎) of many of the marsh plants.
Efforts to restore Florida’s Everglades have helped the snail kite and restored native vegetation. It’s been in the works for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is increasing gradually, although hard to measure. In the meantime, scientists say the invasive snail may have helped pull Florida’s endangered snail kite back from the threat of extinction.
But Fletcher is concerned about the potential impact the species will have on the Everglades over the long term. He said, “What we should be thinking about is how we restore native snails to get those benefits rather than relying on this non-native species that can have damaging impacts on the ecosystem.” The invasive snails may already have caused losses to some native marsh plants, indicating that trouble may come very soon.
28.What does the underlined phrase “bounced back” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Recovered. B.Departed. C.Emerged. D.Jumped.
【答案】A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“Over the last century, as much of the Everglades dried up, droughts contributed to the snail kite’s decline, and by 2007, there were fewer than 800 remaining. But the kite has bounced back recently thanks to an exotic (外来的) snail.”(在上个世纪,由于大沼泽地的大部分地区干涸,干旱导致了蜗鸢的减少,到2007年,蜗鸢的数量不足800只。但由于一种外来的蜗牛,蜗鸢最近bounced back。)可知,蜗牛数量减少后,蜗鸢数量也在减少,推测外来蜗牛引入后,蜗鸢的数量会恢复,划线词的意思是“反弹,恢复”,与Recovered意义相近。故选择A项。
29.What is a major cause of the snail kite’s decline?
A.The disappearance of their habitat. B.The shortage of food due to droughts.
C.The increasing number of other species. D.The introduction of an invasive species.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“The Everglade snail kite eats just one thing: snails, a species that relies almost entirely on a resource usually abundant in the freshwater marshes (沼泽).”(蜗鸢只吃一种食物:蜗牛,这是一种几乎完全依赖于通常在淡水沼泽中丰富的资源的物种。)和第二段“Over the last century, as much of the Everglades dried up, droughts contributed to the snail kite’s decline, and by 2007, there were fewer than 800 remaining.”(在上个世纪,由于大沼泽地的大部分地区干涸,干旱导致了蜗鸢的减少,到2007年,蜗鸢的数量不足800只。)可知,蜗鸢减少的主要原因是由于干旱导致的食物短缺。故选B项。
30.What do we know about the invasive snails?
A.Their eggs are hard to spot on the stalks.
B.They are smaller than native apple snails.
C.Home aquariums are an ideal habitat for them.
D.They increase in population around the Everglades.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Robert Fletcher, a University of Florida professor who directs a snail kite monitoring program, said the invasive species was first spotted in 2004. Within a few years, it had expanded through much of the Everglades.”(佛罗里达大学教授罗伯特·弗莱彻负责蜗鸢监测项目,他说,2004年首次发现了这种入侵物种。几年之内,它已经扩展到大沼泽地的大部分地区。)可知,入侵蜗牛在大沼泽地周围的数量增加。故选D项。
31.What conclusion can be drawn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Human efforts apparently have proven to be effective.
B.The benefits of the invasive snails outweigh the harms.
C.The invasive snails pose little threat to the local ecosystem.
D.Restoring the native ecosystem is costly but necessary in the long run.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段“Efforts to restore Florida’s Everglades have helped the snail kite and restored native vegetation. It’s been in the works for more than 30 years with a cost of more than $20 billion. But progress is increasing gradually, although hard to measure.”(恢复佛罗里达大沼泽地的努力帮助了蜗鸢和恢复了本地植被。这个项目已经进行了30多年,耗资超过200亿美元。尽管很难衡量,但进展正在逐渐增加。)可知,恢复本地生态系统是昂贵的,但从长远来看是必要的。故选D项。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了佛罗里达的蜗鸢这一濒危鸟类与其栖息地的健康之间的密切关系,尽管外来蜗牛的引入在短期内帮助了蜗鸢的数量回升,但科学家们对这种外来物种可能对生态系统造成的长期影响表示担忧。
D
Research has shown that listening to music while showering, taking a walk or travelling to school could affect your ability to think outside the box and come up with artistic or creative things to do. Experts say being bored can lead to daydreaming plus the birth of new ideas.
While there is nothing wrong with listening to music, doing so when taking a shower or going for a walk takes away time that could be spent thinking about yourself and your life—the perfect time to let your creative juices flow. Happiness expert Gretchen Rubin said, “You need this open-searching time in order for new ideas to spring up. This is why people get ideas in the shower or in the middle of the night—it’s a period of time when the brain creates its own fun. It’s when I’m bored that I have big insights because my brain is open and trying to entertain itself.”
A recent study by psychologists showed the same process at work. In the research, two groups of people were expected to come up with proposals. They were then asked to complete the task in two backgrounds. One is in a quiet room while the other is with music playing. Researchers found, compared to participants who completed tasks in a quiet background, participants who listened to music performed less creatively.
So, is it best to throw away the bath-time tunes? Most people said the research was a real mood killer. One said, “Sometimes, I need the music to cover all the thoughts I don’t want to think.” Another commented, “Many people have too much going on in their heads. That’s why they listen to music in the shower, by which they can actually relax.” But other listeners said they liked having quiet time while travelling home at the end of the day.
In any case, striking a good balance and listening to music sometimes but being quiet at other times could be the best balance in our life.
32.What do the experts find according to the first paragraph?
A.Keeping our minds busy brings in new ideas. B.Listening to music helps to bring inspiration.
C.Taking a walk keeps us from daydreaming. D.Feeling bored tends to stir up our creativity.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“Experts say being bored can lead to daydreaming plus the birth of new ideas.(专家表示,无聊会导致白日梦和新想法的产生)”可知,专家们发现感到无聊往往会激发我们的创造力。故选D。
33.How does the psychologists do the research?
A.By observing through daily life. B.By referring to former reports.
C.By carrying out an experiment. D.By filling up a questionnaire.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句话“A recent study by psychologists showed the same process at work. In the research, two groups of people were expected to come up with proposals.They were then asked to complete the task in two backgrounds. (心理学家最近的一项研究表明,同样的过程也在起作用。在这项研究中,预计有两组人会提出建议。然后,他们被要求在两种背景下完成任务)”可知,研究人员做了一个实验,让两组人提出建议,然后在两种背景下完成任务。由此可推知,心理学家们是通过做实验的方式做的研究。故选C。
34.How do most people find the result of the research?
A.Unacceptable. B.Misleading. C.Confusing. D.Convincing.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三和四句话“ Most people said the research was a real mood killer.One said, “Sometimes, I need the music to cover all the thoughts I don’t want to think.” Another commented, “Many people have too much going on in their heads. That’s why they listen to music in the shower, by which they can actually relax.”(大多数人说这项研究是真正的情绪杀手。一位听众说:“有时候,我需要音乐来掩盖我不想思考的所有想法。”另一位听众评论道:“很多人脑子里想的太多了。这就是为什么他们在淋浴时听音乐,这样他们就可以真正放松了。”)”可推知,大多数人认为在无聊的时候听音乐能够让人放松。所以,“在无聊的时候听音乐能够影响人的创造性”这个研究发现是大多数人无法接受的。故选A。
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Does your playlist really appeal to you? B.Is it time to throw away your playlist?
C.Listening to music keeps us mentally fit. D.Being quiet is always a good habit for us.
【答案】B
【解析】标题判断题。本篇文章主要讲述了洗澡、散步或上学时听音乐可能会影响人的艺术性或创造性的思维。但是有人认为在无聊的时候听音乐能够让人放松,他们无法接受研究结果。所以“是时候扔掉你的播放列表了吗?”适合作本文的标题。故选B。
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明,在洗澡、散步或上学时听音乐可能会影响人艺术性或创造性的思维。但是有人认为在无聊的时候听音乐能够让人放松,所以他们无法接受研究结果。

57.a 【解析】考查冠词。句意:在这些作坊里,熟练的工人使用起源于中国的丝网印刷技术,一层一层地叠加颜色。此处泛指“一项起源于中国的技术”,作silk-screen printing的同位语,technique是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a。故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
67.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。
My brother Matthew had always expected to have a little brother. When I was born, he was disappointed to have a sister. To him, I was an annoyance, small, weak, and cowardly (胆小的) and he often found comfort in teasing me. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would have real friendship like other brothers and sisters, caring and helping each other.
It was not until he went to university that he unexpectedly invited me to visit him on his campus for the first time. In his room, he handed me a drink, telling me his struggle for making new friends and how tough he was to study Maths. From that day on, we talked more and our bond seemed to get changed.
One Thanksgiving, I was criticised by dad and didn't want to attend the family dinner. Matthew stayed with me and we had dinner together—just the two of us. My big brother, once a man I felt distant from, became the person who accompanied me when I was in low spirits.
In the first summer vacation of my university, Matthew suggested taking me to make an off-road driving on 85,000 acres of desert in California. We learned some first aid methods and survival tips, knowing how to deal with minor injuries and send out a signal for help on a remote desert. After we got everything prepared, our adventure journey started and we enjoyed ourselves on the way. Unfortunately, on a windy afternoon our car overturned.
"Are you okay?" My brother asked from the driver's seat in a weak voice. We were hanging upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. I felt some blood flowing to my hand, my heart pounding violently, extremely scared.
Looking towards him, I found Matthew badly injured, his arm bleeding and stuck in the seat. There was a hint of fear lingering in his eyes, something I had rarely seen in my big brother. The man I'd seen as strong was now human, fragile (脆弱的).
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
It was my turn to give him help.

【参考范文】
It was my turn to give him help. I took a deep breath to calm my trembling heart. "We're siblings, and I'll never leave you behind," I comforted Matthew. Slowly, we untied our seat belts and crawled out of the overturned car. With the first-aid knowledge we had learned, I carefully bandaged his bleeding arm to stop the wound from worsening. After searching the trunk, I used a colorful rope to make a striking SOS sign on the sand, praying for rescue.
Hours later, the rescue team found us. They highly praised our calm self-rescue and survival awareness. I realized that it was my love for my brother that gave me unprecedented courage. Weak but relieved, Matthew smiled and thanked me sincerely. With the team's help, we returned home safely. This dangerous experience taught me that true sibling bond lies in mutual company and support.
【续写指导】第一段写"我"如何救助哥哥:先镇定自己 → 解开安全带脱困 → 用学过的急救知识包扎伤口 → 用绳子摆出 SOS 求救信号。第二段写被救援队找到之后:救援队称赞两人的自救意识 → 哥哥致谢 → 平安回家 → 点明主题"真正的手足之情在于相互陪伴与扶持"。注意人称用第一人称、时态用一般过去时,与原文情节线一致。
