Some experts have concluded that the vessel's structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period(475-221 BC). OBronze You,ancient kettle The Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine.For example,the Bronze You with beast mask design,unearthed in Jiangxi province,has an opening where charcoals could be placed.Just as people today can't do without an electric kettle,the Bronze You allowed people to enjoy a hot drink. OBronze Yan,ancient steamer Although the "Wen Ding"was effective at keeping food warm,the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution.As a result,the Bronze Yan was made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains.After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-AD 220),further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modem-day steamer. 21.The Bronze You,unearthed in Jiangxi province,has an opening to A.store wine B.pour water C.place charcoals D.hold charcoal ashes 22.What is the unique advantage of the Bronze Yan?

Niu lost her right leg after she was buried for three days during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake.She was 11 years old then and a member of the school track and field team. This is not the first time that Niu has been in the public spotlight.She first drew people's attention when she finished a marathon in 2018,which was held in Wenchuan on May 12,in memory of the 10th anniversary of the earthquake.The day was also Niu's 21th birthday.She suddenly realized that she could have a beneficial impact on the lives of others. Niu now works as a photographer and often uploads video clips from her life on short video platforms such as Douy in,where she has more than 850,000 followers.She explained that she shares her experiences to help society at large better understand disabled groups."I feel I have social responsibility to connect the disabled with the public.

C Scientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before.But an ancient meteorite ()found recently contains 10 times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian I 第4页共10页 meteorite ever before discovered. What's so wild about this wet discovery?It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flowing on the planet's surface. It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all,its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen---the elements that make up water.But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much wetter history than formerly thought. The meteorite,nicknamed Black Beauty,was found in Africa's Sahara Desert in 2011.Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found.Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash(小行星碰撞)that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago. Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old.Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock.It's also one of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the panel's ancient surface. The sample's water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it.Scientists think the meteorite's hy drogen and oxygen molecules are so plentiful because water flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth,or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Mars's crust. Black Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planet's past.These discoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars that's being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet. 28.People used to think that A.Mars was much wetter than Earth B.Mars had a lot of flowing water C.a large quantity of ice was Mars D.there was little water on Mars 29.What do we know about Black Beauty? A.It was discovered in Seattle in the USA. B.It landed on Earth after an asteroid crash. C.It is the biggest of 110 meteorites from Mars.D.It has a history of 2.1 million years. 30.How did the scientists research Black Beauty? A.By cutting it into pieces. B.By burning it on a fire. C.By dipping it into water. D.By burying it into a desert 31.The passage is mainly about A.a rock from the center of Mars B.a new discovery on the Red Planet C.a major Martian meteorite discovery D.a number of meteorites from Red Plane D Would you BET on the future of this man?He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book. The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes,.and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》).And the story pose an interesting question:why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before? We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark.I'm not talking about 第5页共10页 those who fail to get to the top.We can't all get there.I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years. Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But,if we are willing to learn,the opportunities are everywhere. The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can't change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us-an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing. With high motivation and enthusiasm,we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept. Many of us equate(视...等同于)“commitment”with such“caring'occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence-whether they are driving a truck,or running a store-make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They've learned life's most valuable lesson. 32.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that A.loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity B.misery inspires a man to fight against his fate C.age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal D.disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success 33.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Lose the interest to continue learning. B.Waste one's energy taking risks. C.Miss the opportunity to succeed. D.End one's struggle for liberty. 34.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5? A.A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life. B.A wise man can live without self-pity. C.A man should try to satisfy people around him. D.A tough man can tolerate suffering. 35.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A.To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career. B.To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work. C.To state the importance of generating motivation for learning. D.To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 One form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modem 第6页共10页 technology.36 Isn't it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon by their children and grandchildren? Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society.Moreover,better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement.37 Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain. When personal computers were first introduced,most older people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it.Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun.38 Kate Stevens,aged 72,says,"I find playing such games very relaxing.It's not very demanding,but you still need to concentrate." 39 There's a greater variety of games to choose from,including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation()games.Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world activities.Players can choose from a variety of challengers,such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm. Some people argue that "grey gamers"simply don't have the skills required for computer games,and that teenagers are better.40 Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice,which means that the "grey gamers"may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration,older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time.On the other hand,"grey gamers"have a preference for slower paced,mind challenging games. A.This is where I don't agree B.This couldn't be further from the truth. C.Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. D.Mental activity,as well as physical exercise,can contribute to better health. E.This prejudice is based on the following research conducted by some psychologists in Chicago University. F.Activities like play ing computer games'going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters G.Another development that has favored"grey gamers"is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Many elderly people in India feel lonely with few visitors.With this 41 in mind,Shantanu Naidu, Niki Thakur,and Gargi Sandu started the organization the Coodfellows.It 42 these senior citizens in India with young volunteer"grandkids.

I hate myself for what I did”, I told him, with my head down. I didn’t know what to do to make things right. I had been afraid that Mrs. Ferguson would stay mad at me. Finally my grandpa said, “What would you do if you were her?”After a while, I replied, “One solution is to tell her that I am sorry and offer to fix her window.”   Hearing the decision, grandpa smiled. “Doing what is right is not always easy,” he said, handing me the phone, “I am proud of you.” He did not make me do it. It was always my choice. As it turned out, Mrs. Ferguson was very kind and we even became really close friends. “Admitting what you are not proud of is the hardest thing,” said Grandpa. “Choosing to be honest makes others trust and respect you.” 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但是，在我继续描述着事情的时候，他只是在听着”可知，该段落可以描写作者在做错事之后的内心挣扎和祖父引导作者做正确的事。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到这个决定，爷爷笑了。”可知，该段落可以描写在祖父的引导下，作者决定做正确的事。 2. 续写线索：向祖父诉说——内心挣扎——祖父的引导——作者决定做正确的事——向Mrs. Ferguson道歉 3. 词汇激活 行为类： 修理：fix/repair 承认：admit/acknowledge 信任：trust/believe in 情绪类： 害怕的：afraid/worried/scared 生气的：mad/angry 友善的：kind/friendly 【点睛】 【高分句型1】I had been afraid that Mrs. Ferguson would stay mad at me.

Oh, I think you were supposed to turn left back there. M: You mean that you were supposed to tell me to turn left back there. W: Yeah, I’m sorry. I don’t have a phone like this, so I’m afraid I don’t really know what I am doing. Do you want to pull over and take a look? M: No, it’s okay.

But we must have a bathroom with a shower. We don’t mind having a bath, but the shower is crucial. W: Okay. I’ll just key that in. Are you interested in any particular area? M: Well, the city center is our first preference. But we’d consider anything in the western suburbs. We aren’t interested in the north or the east of the city. W: OK, I’m just getting up all the flats on our books. Text 9 M: I don’t really know what to do this summer.

W: Mr. Smith hired Jane to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty. M: You mean the Smiths paid someone just to live in their house? W: It wasn’t that easy. She had to water the plants and take care of the pet. M: House sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like babysitting, except that you are taking care of a house instead of kids. W: That’s it. The student employment office still has two such jobs posted. I called about it this morning. M: Do I just have to fill out an application form? W: You also have to interview with the house owners. M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job. Text 10 Welcome to Stevenson’s, one of the country’s major producers of metal products. Thank you for selecting us for your two-week work experience. I’m Julia, the managing director here. Stevenson’s is quite an old company. It was set up in 1923 by Ronald Stevenson who went into the steel industry when he left school. Originally, Stevenson’s planned to produce spare parts for the machine tools industry, but that never materialized. Shortly before the company went into production, Stevenson was given the opportunity to make goods for hospitals, so that’s what we did for the first five years. Now, let’s give you an overview of what you’ll be doing during your two-week stay with us. Most mornings, you’ll attend a presentation by one of our managers to learn about their respective departments. And you’ll spend some time in each department, observing and talking to people. Normally, a teacher from your school would come in weekly to check on the group’s progress, but your school is unable to arrange that this year. OK, are there any questions before we move on? 详解答案 A篇 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种古代中国人在冬天加热食物的器皿。 21．细节理解题。根据Bronze You, ancient kettle部分中的“For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi province, has an opening where charcoals could be placed.（例如，江西出土的兽面Bronze You，就有一个可以放置木炭的开口）”可知，它有一个放置木炭的开口。故选C项。 22．推理判断题。根据Bronze Yan, ancient steamer部分中的“Although the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Yan was made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD25-AD220), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern-day steamer.（虽然“Wen Ding”在保持食物温暖方面很有效，但是古代中国人后来发现它的燃烧产生了污染。因此，Bronze Yan被制成了双层结构，用于蒸米和其他谷物。东汉以后(公元25-公元220年) ，进一步完善的Bronze Yan导致了现代蒸锅）”可推知，“Wen Ding”的缺点是燃烧产生污染，“Bronze Yan”是对“Wen Ding”的改进。故推知，其优势应该是有环保作用。故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据“Wen Ding”, ancient rice cooker部分中的“The “Wen Ding”, an ancient cooking container, served the same purpose. The “Wen Ding” unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Stone Age.（“Wen Ding”，一个古老的烹饪容器，也有同样的用途。1989年在南京出土的“Wen Ding”被认为是中国发现的最古老的文鼎，可以追溯到石器时代）可知，“Wen Ding”可追溯到石器时代；根据“Ran LU”, ancient small hot pot部分“Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period (475—221 BC).（一些专家得出结论认为，这个容器的结构表明它可能曾被用作一个小火锅，这些容器在战国(公元前475--221年)变得流行起来）”可知，“Ran LU”可追溯到战国时期；根据Bronze You, ancient kettle部分“The Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.（Bronze You铜器是商周时期最常见的酒器之一）”可知，“Bronze You”可追溯到商周时期；根据Bronze Yan, ancient steamer部分“Although the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Yan was made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains.（虽然“Wen Ding”在保持食物温暖方面很有效，但是古代中国人后来发现它的燃烧产生了污染。因此，“Bronze Yan”被制成了一个双层结构，并用于蒸米和其他谷物）”可推知，“Bronze Yan”肯定是在商周时期之后了。综上，“Wen Ding”的历史最悠久。故选A项。 B篇 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了在汶川地震中失去一条腿的女孩牛钰，用机械腿走秀惊艳时装周。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“But actually, she was so nervous on the night before the event that she wasn’t able to fall asleep.(但实际上，在活动的前一天晚上，她太紧张了，以至于无法入睡。)”可知，她在活动前一晚上很紧张。选项A“She had a sense of loss. (她有一种失落感)”；选项B“She had butterflies in her stomach. (她感到紧张)”选项C“She was on the edge of her seat. (她坐立不安)”；选项D“She remained calm as usual.

Showing my life to the public can allow them to become familiar with our group and also can tell other disabled people that society is more tolerate than they imagined.”(她解释说，她分享自己的经历是为了帮助整个社会更好地了解残疾群体。“我觉得我有一种社会责任，把残疾人与公众联系起来。向公众展示我的生活可以让他们熟悉我们的团体，也可以告诉其他残疾人，社会比他们想象的更宽容。”)”可推断，她会继续让外界了解残疾人的世界。故选D。 C篇 【导语】文章通过研究一个火星陨石得到的新发现，火星上含有大量的水。 28．细节推理题。根据第三段It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all, its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen可知人们以前认为火星上没有水，可能会有少量的冰。故选D。 29．细节推理题。根据第四段Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash (小行星碰撞) that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago.可知Black Beauty是小行星碰撞后落到地球上的，故选B。 30．细节推理题。根据倒数第二段The sample’s water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it.可知科学家们通过加热Black Beauty来研究它里面的水，故选B。 31．推理判断题。文章通过研究一个火星陨石得到的新发现，火星上含有大量的水。故选C。 D篇 【导语】这是一篇议论文，本文讲述要成功，就需要不断的学习，这样的生活才会有意义。 32．推理判断题。第一段讲述塞万提斯一生不幸，负债累累，因为战争受伤左手残疾，同时还身陷囹圄，在53岁的时候决定写书，最终写出成名作《唐吉柯德》，根据后文可知，所有的困境都没有阻挡他的成功，年龄也是如此，故选C。 33．词义猜测题。根据第三段I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.可知，作者谈论的不是那些没有到达巅峰的人，而是谈论那些不再学习成长的人，故可知run out of steam可知，停止学习，故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段We learn to bear with the things we can’t change. We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please, some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.可知，我们学会承受那些无法改变的事情，学会避免自怜，也学会了无论我们怎么去取悦别人，有些人是无法喜欢我们的，这个观点起初让我们苦恼，但是之后会让我们释怀，故可知本段作者告诉我们要学会使用恰当的方式来对待生活，故选A。 35．主旨大意题。本文讲述要成功，就需要不断的学习，这样的生活才会有意义，故本文作者的目的是为了指导我们过一个有意义的成年人生活，故选D。 【答案】36.

It's not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.’ (72岁的凯特·史蒂文斯说：‘我发现玩这样的游戏很放松。这不是很费力，但你仍然需要集中注意力。’) ”中“such games”的指代对象应在上文中出现，即设空句中应提到“某类型的游戏”，C项“Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games.(65岁以上的玩家更喜欢玩益智游戏和纸牌游戏)”中出现了其指代对象“puzzle games and card games”，且句中“Gamers over 65”也与下文中“Kate Stevens, aged 72”相照应。故选C项。 39．根据上文可知，第三段讲到一种变化：电脑已经存在了几代人的时间，很多退休老人已经慢慢习惯将电脑游戏当作一种娱乐方式，这是“老人的发展变化”，根据第四段“There's a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation games.(有更多游戏可供选择，包括更智能、更复杂的策略和模拟游戏) ”可知，第四段讲了“游戏的发展变化”，G项“Another development that has favored ‘grey gamers’ is a change in the type of videogames available on the market.(另一个吸引‘灰色玩家’的发展变化是市场上电子游戏类型的改变)”承上启下，句中“Another development”表明与上文的并列关系，“a change in the type of videogames available on the market”与下文“a greater variety of games to choose from”相照应。故选G项。 40．根据上文“Some people argue that ‘grey gamers’ simply don't have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. (有些人认为，‘灰色玩家’根本不具备玩电脑游戏所需的技能，青少年更优秀)”和下文“Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the ‘grey gamers’ may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them.(大多数电脑游戏都需要不断练习的分析思维能力，这意味着‘灰色玩家’可能比比他们年轻半个世纪的玩家要优秀得多) ”可知，上下文有转折关系，B项“This couldn't be further from the truth.(这与事实相去甚远)”否定上文，引出下文观点，承上启下。故选B项。 完形填空 【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了，在印度，Shantanu Naidu、Niki Thakur和Gargi Sandu成立了Coodfellows组织，将老年人与年轻的志愿者“孙子(女)”配对，以解决老年人的孤独生活的事迹。 41. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：抱着这种关心的想法，Shantanu Naidu、Niki Thakur和Gargi Sandu成立了Coodfellows组织。A. mistake错误；B. concern关注、关心；C. arrangement安排；D. advantage优势。根据前文“Many elderly people in India feel lonely”和后文“Shantanu Naidu, Niki Thakur, and Gargi Sandu started the organization the Coodfellows”可知，出于对老年人的关心，他们成立了组织。故选B项。 42. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：它将这些印度的老年人与年轻的志愿者“孙子(女)”配对。A. pairs配对；B. greets问候；C. trains训练；D. charges收费。根据后文“Families can nominate (提名) elderly relatives as ‘grandpals’ 　 ________‘good fellows’”以及“to check their cognitive abilities, and more _________, their interests to match them to suitable good fellows”可知，志愿者和老年人匹配成“祖孙”关系。故选A项。 43. 考查介词短语词义辨析。句意：在寻找“好配对”时，家庭可以提名年长的亲戚为“爷爷(奶奶)”，通常是在他们最亲密的家庭成员不在身边的情况下。A. in place of代替；B. in memory of为了纪念；C. in honor of向……表示敬意；D. in search of寻找。根据语境和后文“good fellows”可知，寻找到“好配对”，让老年人做“爷爷(奶奶)”。故选D项。 44. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：Naidu负责招聘工作，他会对被提名者进行基本的面试，以检查他们的认知能力，更重要的是，检查他们的兴趣，以便将他们与合适的好伙伴匹配起来。A. experiment实验；B. competition竞争；C. interview面试，采访；D. exam考试。根据后文“to check their cognitive abilities, and more _________, their interests to match them to suitable good fellows”可知，Naidu负责招聘工作，要对被提名者进行面试，看他们是否合适。故选C项。 45. 考查副词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. importantly重要地；B. easily容易地；C. equally相等地；D. secretly秘密地。根据语境和后文“their interests to match them to suitable good fellows”可知，检查他们的兴趣和志愿者是否匹配是更重要的。故选A项。 46. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：该团队目前有65名成员为400多名爷爷服务。A. testing测试；B. serving服务；C. guiding指导；D. remembering记住。根据后文“Good fellows provide _________ through visits and activities like chatting, shopping, and attending to doctor appointments.”可知，志愿者为老年人服务，帮助并陪伴他们。故选B项。 47. 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“好配对”会通过拜访、聊天、购物、看医生等活动提供陪伴。A. business买卖，商业；B. protection保护；C. adventure冒险；D. company陪伴。根据后文“through visits and activities like chatting, shopping, and attending to doctor appointments”可知，志愿者会陪伴老人。故选D项。 48. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们真的很感激这个社交的机会。A. escape逃避；B. reflect反应；C. socialize社交，交往；D. compete竞争。根据前文“Good fellows provide _________ through visits and activities like chatting, shopping, and attending to doctor appointments.”可知，志愿者和老人之间的交往是他们的社交机会。故选C项。 49. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他也有过艰难的时刻，但我能看出他决心专注于美好的一面。A. familiar熟悉的；B. tough艰难的；C. slow缓慢的；D. peaceful平静的，和平的。根据后文“but I can see he is _________ to focus on the beautiful bits”的转折可知，美好的反面应该是艰难的。故选B项。 50. 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. determined决心的；B. unwilling不情愿的；C. welcome受欢迎的；D. uncertain不确定的。根据前文“We truly appreciate this opportunity to _________”和后文“to focus on the beautiful bits”可知，他决心专注于和老人交往美好的一面。故选A项。 51. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这影响了他周围的人。A. challenged挑战；B. embarrassed使尴尬；C. impacted影响；D. separated分开。根据后文“One grandpal with Alzheimer’s _________when his fellow visits to chat, play music, and engage.
