Beth, the USA Staying time: five months Activities: studied Chinese; watched an art exhibition (展览); climbed a few famous mountains in China Opinions: * It is hard but fun to learn Chinese. * China is a great country with lots of beautiful places. 1.

What can we know from the text? A. Two of the students are from the same country. B. The four students all speak highly of their experiences in China. C. The four students all made their Chinese better during their stay. D. Nick didn’t like his experience of attending the music festival at all. 3. In which part of a newspaper might we read the text?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了四位来自不同国家的交换生参加“体验中国”文化活动的相关情况，包括他们的停留时间、参与的活动以及对中国的看法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中Beth (USA) 一栏的活动介绍“Activities: studied Chinese; watched an art exhibition (展览); climbed a few famous mountains in China.(活动：学习中文；观看艺术展览；攀登了中国几座名山。)”可知，这位美国女孩在中国攀登了名山，即参加了户外活动。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据四位学生的观点：Tony认为“Ancient Chinese culture is fantastic. (中国古代文化太棒了。)”；Nick认为“It is relaxing to live in China.(在中国生活很放松。)”；Malee认为“Her host mother is warm-hearted.(她的寄宿妈妈很热心。)”；Beth认为“It is hard but fun to learn Chinese. (学中文很难但也很有趣。)”。综合可知，这四位学生都高度赞扬了他们在中国的经历。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Recently several exchange students have taken part in a cultural event called “Experience China”.(最近，几名交换生参加了一项名为“体验中国”的文化活动)”可知，文章主要讲述的是交换生在中国的学习和生活经历，属于教育和文化交流的范畴，因此最有可能出现在报纸的教育版块。 B Amy Wolff, a 36-year-old public speaking coach in Newberg, Oregon, is the founder of the Don’t Give Up Movement, a nonprofit organization sowing seeds of love and hope through inspirational yard signs and other items. In May 2017, Amy learned from a church friend and teacher that the school district had lost two students and four former students that year because of their mental problems. Amy said, “I couldn’t do nothing.” She recalled a crazy idea she’d had two years before: yard signs as a way of encouraging people. She asked her friend Jessica Brittell, a graphic designer, to create and print 20 signs with the messages “Don’t Give Up”, “Your Mistakes Do Not Define You” and “You Are Worthy of Love”. Amy, her husband John, and their two daughters knocked on doors around Newberg, asking strangers to put the signs in their yards. Everyone said yes! People in the community were quick to talk about the signs. Within a week, Amy had sold 150 signs at cost. Amy added new messages—“You Matter”, “You Are Not Alone”—as well as wristbands, stickers, car decals (贴纸), cards and other “symbols of hope and love”. Besides supporting those at risk for suicide, the movement has comforted people facing health problems, isolation, job loss, marital issues and abuse. Jason Boyd, assistant principal of Seaside High in Seaside, Oregon, bought 225 signs to put up around the school. Students tell him, “The signs help us make it through the day.” More than 701,000 items have been distributed (分发) in all 50 states and 27 countries. Don’t Give Up Movement doesn’t do any marketing. “It’s love with no strings attached,” said Amy. The movement has spread mainly through people spotting the signs and by word of mouth. Friends on cross-country trips left decals and cards in restaurants, stores and rest stops. We should look for ways to spread hope and love in our daily lives. Buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Praise the server. Believe you always have something to offer—and do it unconditionally. 4. What is the main role of Amy Wolff according to the text? A. A speaking coach. B. A mother of two kids. C. The wife of a man named John. D. The founder of a nonprofit organization. 5. What made Amy Wolff start the Don’t Give Up Movement? A. The wish to start a new business. B. Her excellent public speaking skills. C. The inspiration from a graphic designer friend. D. Students’ mental problems in the school district. 6. How did Amy Wolff and her family first spread the signs? A. By distributing posters in public places. B. By creating a website and promoting them online. C. By organizing community events and speaking engagements. D. By knocking on doors and asking people to put them in their yards. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Spread hope and love B. How yard signs can change lives C. Amy Wolff: A coach turned activist D. The power of community in fighting suicide 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了艾米·沃尔夫创立名为“不要放弃运动”的非营利组织，通过庭院励志标语牌等物品向大众传播爱与希望，该运动逐渐在全球范围产生广泛影响，最终呼吁人们在日常生活中主动传递希望与善意的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Amy Wolff, a 36-year-old public speaking coach in Newberg, Oregon, is the founder of the Don’t Give Up Movement, a nonprofit organization sowing seeds of love and hope through inspirational yard signs and other items.(艾米·沃尔夫是俄勒冈州纽伯格市的一名36岁的公众演讲教练，也是‘不要放弃运动’的创始人，这是一个通过励志庭院标语牌及其他物品播撒爱与希望种子的非营利组织。)”可知，艾米·沃尔夫的主要角色是该非营利组织的创始人。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In May 2017, Amy learned from a church friend and teacher that the school district had lost two students and four former students that year because of their mental problems.(2017年5月，艾米从一位教会朋友兼教师那里得知，该学区当年因心理问题失去了两名学生和四名往届生。) ”以及艾米说的话“I couldn’t do nothing.(我不能坐视不管。)”可知，学区内学生因心理问题接连离世的悲剧，是促使艾米发起“不要放弃运动”的直接原因。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Amy, her husband John, and their two daughters knocked on doors around Newberg, asking strangers to put the signs in their yards.(艾米和丈夫约翰以及两个女儿在纽伯格市挨家挨户敲门，请求陌生人把这些标语牌摆放在自家院子里。)”可知，艾米和家人最初通过挨家挨户敲门、邀请居民在自家院子摆放标语的方式推广标语牌。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。前文介绍了艾米创立“不要放弃运动”的起因、发展过程与产生的广泛社会影响，最后一段中的“We should look for ways to spread hope and love in our daily lives.(我们应该在日常生活中寻找传播希望与爱的方式。)”是全文的主旨升华句，点明了故事的核心立意。A项表示“传播希望与爱”精准涵盖本文核心主旨，适合作本文标题。 C Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us. Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame. It’s also a helpful guide to caring for our planet. Our planet is unique for many reasons, but its fresh water and oxygen (氧气) are two key things. Water covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, with most of that water lying in our planet’s oceans. About a fifth of the air is oxygen, produced by plants. But water and air pollution is becoming more and more serious. The state of the natural world is alarming, making it a must for us to be knowledgeable about. But the future of Earth doesn’t have to be a negative one. This amazing children’s book has some cheerful pictures as it explains the planet we live on. By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child-friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation. The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it. Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a new discovery. B. To show we are a family on Earth. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To explain the secret of Earth. 9. What makes Our Earth a perfect book to educate children? A. Its clear ideas. B. Its writing style. C. Its colourful pictures. D. Its useful knowledge. 10. What may the author agree with? A. Every small act counts. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A review of a play. B. A story on the Earth. C. An introduction to a book. D. An advertisement for an activity. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《我们的地球》这本书。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us.(地球，我们的家园，是离太阳第三远的行星。当科学家们继续寻找地球以外的生命时，我们的家园仍然是人类唯一的居住地。你爱的人，你认识的人，你听说过的人都在上面度过了他们的一生。是家。是我们)”可推知，第一段对地球的描述是为了引出本文话题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it.(赏心悦目的图片和易于理解的语言，使本书的潜在信息简单明了，适合八岁或以上的儿童阅读)”可知，《我们的地球》的写作方式使这本书成为一本完美的教育儿童的书。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is.(无论你是选择步行或骑自行车上学，还是选择整理垃圾，抑或是养成小事小事的好习惯，过一种更环保的生活，《我们的地球》都告诉读者，我们都可以在塑造地球的未来中发挥作用，无论我们的行动多么微不足道，无论我们多么年轻)”可推知，作者认为：每一个小的行为都很重要。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame.(《我们的地球》是简·卡拉姆写的一本书)”以及第三段“By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child- friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation.(《我们的地球》一书为我们提供了一些可行的、对儿童友好的方式来照顾地球的方法，是一本教育环保主义者或任何下一代成员的完美书籍)”可推知，文章可能选自对《我们的地球》这本书的介绍。故选C。 D Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach! For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand-digging tools — like a shovel (铁铲) and a bucket — is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “Bringing sand to the beach”. “Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are futile. This means serving no purpose. “Bringing sand to the beach” can also mean overkill. Overkill means having more than what is necessary or useful. We usually say “like” when we use this expression. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”. With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant). 12. How does the author introduce the expression discussed in the text? A. By listing uncommon beach activities. B. By describing a scene of a beach trip. C. By comparing sand to other beach items. D. By providing an example of a pointless action. 13. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Common. C. Dangerous. D. Meaningful. 14. What does the author think of the flowers brought to the opening of a flower store? A. They are sweet. B. They are proper gifts. C. They are not good enough. D. They are not needed there. 15. Which saying has a similar meaning to “bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”? A. Seeing is believing. B. Teaching a fish how to swim. C. Killing two birds with one stone. D. Thinking twice before you jump. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了英语习语bringing sand to the beach的含义、用法以及同义表达。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach! (我们有一个表达方式可以帮助我们说明这一点。为此，让我们去海滩吧！)”以及第二段“For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. (去海滩旅行时，我们会带上几样东西，让旅途更加愉快。例如，沙滩巾让坐在沙子上更舒服。)”可知，作者通过描述海滩旅行的场景，引出文中讨论的习语。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段““Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are futile. This means serving no purpose. (“把沙子带到海滩”用来形容毫无意义、多余的行为。这类行为是____的，也就是没有任何作用。)”可知，futile与pointless and unnecessary、serving no purpose同义，意为“无用的”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! (但你并不需要自带沙子，因为大多数海滩上已经有很多了！)”以及第四段“For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach (例如，给花店开业送花这件事，就如同把沙子带到海滩)”可知，作者认为花店开业，带花过去是多此一举，额外的花是花店不需要的东西。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”. With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant).(当把东西带到某个地方是多此一举的时候，我们常会用短语 “好比往海滩运沙子（多此一举）”。不过你也可以更换事物和地点，表达同样的含义。例如，我也可以说这就像 “自带三明治去餐厅”。这个例子的含义更深一层：它还表示你带去的东西（三明治），品质比不上在这个地方（餐厅）原本能得到的)”可知，“bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”指多此一举、毫无必要，“Teaching a fish how to swim (教鱼游泳/班门弄斧)”同样比喻做多余、完全没有必要的事情，两者含义最相近。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Change is with us from the day we are born and change is all around us every day. ____16____ This difference comes from the fact that we don’t all experience changes in the same way. So, what can we young people do in face of some changes? We young people aren’t always ready to deal with changes. That’s because our young brains are still growing. The back part of our brain is all about survival and keeping us alive. The middle of our brain controls our emotions. ____17____ Our brain can react to situations in different ways, depending on how we deal with changes or stress. When the brain thinks the body may be in danger, we’ll have the fight or flight response. ____18____ The heart then sends blood quickly to different body parts. It prepares the body to fight, flee or freeze. There are times when we young people feel stressed, when changes get hard to manage, or when it is just too hard for us to collect our thoughts. ____19____ That may be a parent or a carer, a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle, a teacher, a neighbour or even an older brother or sister. Changes can sometimes be hard or make you worry, but you don’t have to face them alone. ____20____ By meeting changes and trying new things, we’ll begin to discover what we really love. As we learn more about ourselves, we’ll make better decisions about our life and future. This can help us discover our path in life. A. Changes are chances for us to grow up. B. That response makes the heart beat faster. C. And the front of our brain is still developing. D. But some can adapt to changes easily, while others can’t. E. Other people can be affected by the slightest changes. F. The brain is a very important organ to deal with stress or changes. G. In these situations, it’s OK to ask for help from an adult we trust. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍变化时刻存在，讲解青少年大脑特点，面对变化的反应以及应对变化的方法。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Change is with us from the day we are born and change is all around us every day.(变化从我们出生起就伴随我们，变化每天都在我们身边)”以及空后的“This difference comes from the fact that we don’t all experience changes in the same way.(这种差异源于我们所有人经历变化的方式并不相同)”可知，空后出现This difference，空格处需要引出人与人之间的差异。D选项“But some can adapt to changes easily, while others can’t.(但是有些人可以轻松适应变化，而另一些人则不能)”提出两类人适应变化能力的区别，This difference正好指代该内容，前后语义连贯。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“The back part of our brain is all about survival and keeping us alive. The middle of our brain controls our emotions.(大脑后部负责生存，维持我们生命。大脑中部控制我们的情绪。)”可知，前文依次介绍大脑后部、中部的功能，空格继续介绍大脑前部的情况。C选项“And the front of our brain is still developing.(并且我们大脑的前部仍在发育)”承接上文对大脑不同部位的介绍，逻辑通顺。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“When the brain thinks the body may be in danger, we’ll have the fight or flight response.(当大脑认为身体可能处于危险中时，我们会产生战斗或逃跑反应)”以及空后的“The heart then sends blood quickly to different body parts.(之后心脏快速将血液输送到身体各个部位)”可知，空格衔接这种应激反应，描述心脏产生的变化。B选项“That response makes the heart beat faster.(这种反应会让心跳加快)”中的That response指代上文fight or flight反应，引出后文心脏供血的描述。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“There are times when we young people feel stressed, when changes get hard to manage, or when it is just too hard for us to collect our thoughts.(有时我们年轻人会感到压力大，难以应对变化，或是很难理清思绪)”以及空后的“That may be a parent or a carer, a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle, a teacher, a neighbour or even an older brother or sister.(这个人可以是父母、看护人、祖父母、叔姨、老师、邻居，甚至哥哥姐姐)”可知，后文列举可以求助的人，空格说明遇到困境可以向信任的成年人求助。G选项“In these situations, it’s OK to ask for help from an adult we trust.(在这些情况下，可以向我们信任的成年人寻求帮助)”中的In these situations指代前文年轻人面对的压力困境，That指代信任的成年人，衔接上下文。 【20题详解】 根据空后的“By meeting changes and trying new things, we’ll begin to discover what we really love. As we learn more about ourselves, we’ll make better decisions about our life and future.(通过迎接变化、尝试新事物，我们会发现自己真正热爱的事物。随着更加了解自己，我们能对人生和未来做出更好的决定)”可知，本段阐述变化带来的积极意义，空格为本段主题句。A选项“Changes are chances for us to grow up.(变化是我们成长的机会)”总领本段，引出下文变化带给我们的成长。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One of the most useful things I’ve learned is how to do nothing.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者受父亲完美主义影响，曾因追求完美而陷入倦怠，后借瑜伽学习呼吸与宁静，逐渐摆脱对“无所事事”的羞愧，明白放慢脚步、聆听内心才是有意义的事。 【21题详解】 考查动词。句意：在我的家庭中，静止是不被重视的。A. valued重视；B. ignored忽视；C. proved证明；D. rewarded奖励。根据下文“My father was a workaholic with three jobs and a perfectionist.”可知，父亲身兼三职且是完美主义者，这种家庭氛围下静止自然不被重视；下文“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed”也直接印证了这一点。 【22题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：凡事都不容许出错，这一理念也适用于他的女儿们。A. adapted to适应；B. applied to适用于；C. belonged to属于；D. related to与……相关。根据下文“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed and that everything had to be the best”可知，作者内化了父亲的完美主义理念，这说明该理念同样适用于女儿们。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：我接受了这样的信息：什么都不做是不被允许的，凡事必须做到最好才能获得他的赞扬。A. wealth财富；B. agreement同意；C. praise赞扬；D. sympathy同情。根据上文“Everything he did had to be done just right.”及“everything had to be the best”可知，父亲追求完美，因此只有做到最好才能获得他的赞扬。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：这种想法跟随我步入婚姻：我努力成为完美的妻子、母亲和家庭主妇，直到倦怠迫使我寻求帮助。A. urged促使；B. encouraged鼓励；C. instructed指导；D. followed跟随。根据上文“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed and that everything had to be the best to gain his ________.”可知，作者内化的完美主义观念如同影子般“跟随”她进入婚姻生活，并在婚姻中继续影响她的行为；下文“I struggled to be the ________ wife, mother, and homemaker”正是这种观念持续作用的结果。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。这种想法跟随我步入婚姻：我努力成为完美的妻子、母亲和家庭主妇，直到倦怠迫使我寻求帮助。A. perfect完美的；B. useful有用的；C. independent独立的；D. responsible负责的。根据上文“Everything he did had to be done just right.”及“everything had to be the best”可知，作者受父亲完美主义影响，努力成为完美的妻子、母亲和家庭主妇。 【26题详解】 考查动词。句意：在书籍和视频的帮助下，我自学了瑜伽体式，并学会了有意识的呼吸——瑜伽的基础。A. taught教；B. advised建议；C. told告诉；D. showed展示。根据上文“With the help of books and videos”可知，作者没有老师，而是通过书籍和视频自学，teach oneself为固定搭配，意为自学。 【27题详解】 考查名词。句意：然后是静止，这并非我所预期的。A. stress压力；B. load负担；C. accident意外；D. stillness静止。根据第十空后面“But I gradually realized this “useless” stillness was valuable for me”可知，瑜伽练习带来的是“静止”，且下文用引号标注useless表明这并非作者最初追求的目标。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：起初，当我做瑜伽时，不快乐占据了我，因为我能听到父亲责备我不活跃，我不得不摆脱对无所事事的羞耻感。A. satisfaction满足；B. annoyance烦恼；C. unhappiness不快乐；D. excitement兴奋。根据下文“for I could hear my father blaming me”及“I had to shake off my ________ about doing nothing”可知，作者在做瑜伽时因父亲的责备声而陷入“不快乐”的情绪中，这种情绪源于内心冲突而非单纯的烦恼。 【29题详解】 考查形容词。句意：起初，当我做瑜伽时，不快乐占据了我，因为我能听到父亲责备我不活跃，我不得不摆脱对无所事事的羞耻感。A. inactive不活跃的；B. irresponsible不负责任的；C. disordered混乱的；D. misguided被误导的。根据第一段“being still wasn’t ________”及“I absorbed the message that doing nothing wasn’t allowed”可知，父亲重视的是持续的活动而非静止，因此他会责备作者“不活跃”；下文“doing nothing”也与inactive语义呼应。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：起初，当我做瑜伽时，不快乐占据了我，因为我能听到父亲责备我不活跃，我不得不摆脱对无所事事的羞耻感。A. regret遗憾；B. shame羞耻；C. grief悲伤；D. disappointment失望。根据上文“for I could hear my father blaming me”可知，作者因什么都不做而遭到父亲责备，因此内心产生羞耻感，shake off my shame意为“摆脱羞耻感”。 【31题详解】 考查形容词。句意：但我逐渐意识到这种“无用”的静止对我很有价值，当世界把我推向相反方向时，它让我保持平静。A. confused困惑的；B. excited兴奋的；C. tired疲惫的；D. calm平静的。根据上文“this “useless” stillness was valuable for me”及下文“when the world was pushing me in opposite directions”中的对比可知，当外界喧嚣时，静止让作者保持平静，这正是其价值所在。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：自从我开始呼吸练习以来，几十年过去了。A. Months月；B. Weeks周；C. Decades几十年；D. Centuries世纪。根据下文“My daughter is an adult now, with children of her own.”可知，作者的女儿已成年且有了自己的孩子，这说明时间跨度长达几十年。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：每天早上我仍然找时间静静地坐着，观察我的呼吸。A. hands手；B. breath呼吸；C. feet脚；D. clothes衣服。根据第六空后面“learned intentional breathing, the foundation of yoga”及第十二空后面“began my breathing practice”可知，作者的练习核心是呼吸，因此观察的是呼吸。 【34题详解】 考查动词。句意：什么都不做帮助我享受日常生活，专注于重要的事情。A. matters重要；B. changes改变；C. happens发生；D. means意味着。根据上文“Doing nothing helps me enjoy the daily life and focus on what”可知，作者学会区分轻重缓急，专注于重要的事情，what matters为固定表达，意为“重要的事情”。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我逐渐明白，有时候，我们能做的最有成效的事情就是放慢脚步，倾听内心的宁静。A. boring无聊的；B. productive有成效的；C. challenging有挑战的；D. demanding要求高的。根据上文“Doing nothing helps me enjoy the daily life and focus on what ________.”可知，作者领悟到什么都不做看似无用，实则帮助她享受生活、聚焦重点，因此是最有成效的事情，与开篇“One of the most useful things I’ve learned is how to do nothing.”中的useful呼应。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Incorporating (使并入) music into world language learning is a simple and ____36____ (attract) way to help learners get in touch with the culture related to the target language. Not only does it interest learners, but also it aids in creating ____37____ positive language learning setting. Then how can teachers use music to encourage language learning? On the one hand, we can pick a song that ____38____ (direct) fits in with a topic covered in our unit. For example, we can choose a song ____39____ focuses on a grammatical point that we want our students to practice in context. On the other hand, creating an activity in which students listen and complete the sentence is also a good ____40____ (choose) for any song. Songs can provide various activities at all levels. Homing in on specific songs and their lyrics (歌词) ____41____ (build) students’ hearing skills. When ____42____ (listen) to a song, they have access (接触的机会) to rich vocabulary and cultural content and are following a story out loud. This makes it easier ____43____ (excite) their interest and attention. A common goal of world language teachers is to have learners use the language in their real lives and appreciate and value cultures different ____44____ their own. In this regard, music _____45_____ (think) to be an invaluable tool for teachers and helps us achieve the common goal. 【答案】36. attractive 37. a 38. directly 39. that##which 40. choice 41. builds 42. listening 43. to excite 44. from 45. is thought 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍将音乐融入外语学习的好处以及教师运用音乐开展语言教学的方式。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：将音乐融入世界语言学习是一种简单且吸引人的方式，帮助学习者接触目标语言相关的文化。此处修饰名词way，要用形容词形式，attract的形容词是attractive，意为“吸引人的”。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它不仅能激发学习者的兴趣，还有助于营造一个积极的语言学习环境。setting为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一个积极的语言学习环境”，为泛指，且positive是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：一方面，我们可以挑选一首直接贴合单元所涵盖主题的歌曲。此处修饰动词fits，要用副词形式，direct的副词是directly，意为“直接地”。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：例如，我们可以选择一首聚焦某个语法知识点的歌曲，让学生在语境中练习该知识点。先行词a song指物，关系词在从句中作主语，可用关系代词that或which。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：另一方面，设计一项让学生听歌曲并补全句子的活动，对于任意歌曲来说也是一个不错的选择。形容词good后需要接名词，choose是动词，其名词形式choice意为“选择”，前面有a，所以使用单数形式choice。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：聚焦特定歌曲及其歌词可以培养学生的听力技能。此处为谓语动词，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语Homing in on specific songs and their lyrics是动名词短语作主语，视为单数，所以谓语动词为builds。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当听一首歌时，他们能够接触丰富的词汇和文化内容，并且跟随有声的故事。此处为状语从句的省略结构，主语they与listen之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词listening。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这更容易激发他们的兴趣和注意力。固定句型make it +形容词 +to do sth，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式，所以此处为to excite。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：世界语言教师的一个共同目标是让学习者在现实生活中使用语言，欣赏并珍视不同于自身文化的其他文化。固定搭配different from意为“与……不同”，所以此处为介词from。 【45题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：在这方面，音乐被认为是教师的宝贵工具，帮助我们实现这一共同目标。主语music和think之间为被动关系，陈述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语music是单数，所以谓语动词为is thought。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的同学Mike在社团招新中犹豫不决，既想加入自己喜欢的篮球社，又担心影响学习。请你给他写一封建议信，就课外社团选择与学业平衡提出建议。内容包括： 1.结合兴趣选择社团； 2.平衡社团活动与学业； 3.表达鼓励与祝愿。 写作要点： 1.回应对方在社团选择上的困惑。 2.建议结合自身兴趣选择社团。 3.建议合理安排时间，平衡社团活动与学习。 注意： 1.词数80左右。 2.信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Mike, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mike, I’m sorry to hear you are hesitating about club choices.

Today she was turning 10. She thought her mother would make her a special breakfast. Last year on her birthday, Lisa woke up to the smell of pancakes and sausage cooking. The kitchen table was full of fresh fruit and juice, and her family had even bought lots of fresh flowers to put on the table. But when she went downstairs this morning, her father, mother and brother were eating cereal (麦片) at the table, just like any other day. No one even said “Happy birthday". When the phone rang and her mother announced that Lisa’s aunt wanted to speak with her, she knew that it must be to wish her the best on her 10th birthday. But to Lisa’s surprise, her aunt simply wanted to remind her to pick up her mail the next week while her aunt was out of town. Lisa was quite confused. She thought that her family would say something about her special day, but she didn’t want to seem upset. She tried to be cheerful. After all, she was looking forward to meeting her friends in the park soon. Surely they were going to be excited about her birthday. When Lisa arrived at the park, her friend Jane was the first to greet her. “Nice day, isn’t it, Lisa?” she asked. Lisa, ready for her friend to wish her a happy birthday, responded excitedly, “Yes, it is! It’s a great day. You know why?” “Because it’s Saturday and the weather is great!” Jane replied. Lisa nodded, but looked down in disappointment. Soon the rest of her friends arrived, and they all had a good time playing soccer and spending time together. But Lisa couldn’t help but think that it was strange that none of them had mentioned her birthday. As she walked home in the late afternoon sun, Lisa tried her best not to cry. How could everyone forget her birthday? She was close to tears by the time she reached her home. When she walked in, she was quite surprised. 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 There was a box with her name on it in the living room. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ No one was home, but there was a letter on the table. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 There was a box with her name on it in the living room. Thinking that it might be her birthday present, she went up and opened the box with delight. In the box lay a photo album filled with photos recording the important moments together with her family and friends as she grew up. Lisa sank in the precious memories: the first family who had made it! At that time, Lisa came to wonder where they were and began to search every room. Paragraph 2: No one was home, but there was a letter on the table. Her heart beating wildly, she reached out for that letter which was written by her family and friends, saying how great a family member and a friend she was. With tears welling up in her eyes, she found in surprise that she was already surrounded by her loved ones. “Happy birthday!” they said cheerfully and sent their best wishes to Lisa. All of them had a wonderful evening together, adding another chapter to Lisa’s album. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了星期六是丽莎10岁的生日，丽莎早晨醒来，满怀希望，期待着家人和朋友的祝福。然而，让她失望的是，就像其它任何的一天一样，家人和朋友谁也没有提到她的生日的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“客厅里有一个写着她名字的盒子。”可知，第一段可描写盒子里的东西。 ②由第二段首句内容“没有人在家，但桌子上有一封信。”可知，第二段可描写信中的内容。 2.续写线索：醒来——兴奋——失望——惊讶——感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打开：open/unwrap ②寻找：search/seek for ③包围：surround/encircle 情绪类 高兴：with delight/with joy/with pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Amy Wolff, a 36-year-old public speaking coach in Newberg, Oregon, is the founder of the Don’t Give Up Movement, a nonprofit organization sowing seeds of love and hope through inspirational yard signs and other items. In May 2017, Amy learned from a church friend and teacher that the school district had lost two students and four former students that year because of their mental problems. Amy said, “I couldn’t do nothing.” She recalled a crazy idea she’d had two years before: yard signs as a way of encouraging people. She asked her friend Jessica Brittell, a graphic designer, to create and print 20 signs with the messages “Don’t Give Up”, “Your Mistakes Do Not Define You” and “You Are Worthy of Love”. Amy, her husband John, and their two daughters knocked on doors around Newberg, asking strangers to put the signs in their yards. Everyone said yes! People in the community were quick to talk about the signs. Within a week, Amy had sold 150 signs at cost. Amy added new messages—“You Matter”, “You Are Not Alone”—as well as wristbands, stickers, car decals (贴纸), cards and other “symbols of hope and love”. Besides supporting those at risk for suicide, the movement has comforted people facing health problems, isolation, job loss, marital issues and abuse. Jason Boyd, assistant principal of Seaside High in Seaside, Oregon, bought 225 signs to put up around the school. Students tell him, “The signs help us make it through the day.” More than 701,000 items have been distributed (分发) in all 50 states and 27 countries. Don’t Give Up Movement doesn’t do any marketing. “It’s love with no strings attached,” said Amy. The movement has spread mainly through people spotting the signs and by word of mouth. Friends on cross-country trips left decals and cards in restaurants, stores and rest stops. We should look for ways to spread hope and love in our daily lives. Buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Praise the server. Believe you always have something to offer—and do it unconditionally. 4. What is the main role of Amy Wolff according to the text? A. A speaking coach. B. A mother of two kids. C. The wife of a man named John. D. The founder of a nonprofit organization. 5. What made Amy Wolff start the Don’t Give Up Movement? A. The wish to start a new business. B. Her excellent public speaking skills. C. The inspiration from a graphic designer friend. D. Students’ mental problems in the school district. 6. How did Amy Wolff and her family first spread the signs? A. By distributing posters in public places. B. By creating a website and promoting them online. C. By organizing community events and speaking engagements. D. By knocking on doors and asking people to put them in their yards. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Spread hope and love B. How yard signs can change lives C. Amy Wolff: A coach turned activist D. The power of community in fighting suicide C Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us. Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame. It’s also a helpful guide to caring for our planet. Our planet is unique for many reasons, but its fresh water and oxygen (氧气) are two key things. Water covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, with most of that water lying in our planet’s oceans. About a fifth of the air is oxygen, produced by plants. But water and air pollution is becoming more and more serious. The state of the natural world is alarming, making it a must for us to be knowledgeable about. But the future of Earth doesn’t have to be a negative one. This amazing children’s book has some cheerful pictures as it explains the planet we live on. By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child-friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation. The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it. Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is. 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a new discovery. B. To show we are a family on Earth. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To explain the secret of Earth. 9. What makes Our Earth a perfect book to educate children? A. Its clear ideas. B. Its writing style. C. Its colourful pictures. D. Its useful knowledge. 10. What may the author agree with? A. Every small act counts. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A review of a play. B. A story on the Earth. C. An introduction to a book. D. An advertisement for an activity. D Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let’s go to the beach! For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun’s powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand-digging tools — like a shovel (铁铲) and a bucket — is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’s expression: “Bringing sand to the beach”. “Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are futile. This means serving no purpose. “Bringing sand to the beach” can also mean overkill. Overkill means having more than what is necessary or useful. We usually say “like” when we use this expression. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”. With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant). 12. How does the author introduce the expression discussed in the text? A. By listing uncommon beach activities. B. By describing a scene of a beach trip. C. By comparing sand to other beach items. D. By providing an example of a pointless action. 13. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Common. C. Dangerous. D. Meaningful. 14.
