A. realistic B. demanding C. valuable D. sensitive Section B (22’) Directions: Read the following three passages. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) We recently went to a friend’s backyard to meet her new puppy. He was lovely beyond words. Our friend was wearing smiles as she told us about his first days at home. It was truly puppy love. Later that night, I walked behind my own dog to help her climb up the stairs, and heated up the homemade food that helps control her kidney (肾) disease. You can’t imagine these extra cares when you began raising a puppy. For me, I am lucky to know this more “mature” love. To love, and to be loved, by an old dog is truly an honor. For a long time, I denied the fact that our dog was getting old, or I really didn’t notice that Skyler was getting older. But these days, there is no denying the fact. Sometimes, she will fall while eating from her bowl and wait patiently for someone to help her up. I still remember the first days of Skyler. In the home, she always needed to be beside someone, with at least one part of her touching one part of you. At the park, it was different. If we started running toward the end of a field, she would cross the finish line before we had even made it halfway. Now, at 15, Skyler still needs to be right beside you on the couch. But it is hard. It is sad to see this once fast, strong dog struggle to walk up the front steps or to see her begging eyes whenever she needs help to get up on the couch. Over the past few years, we have had to give up certain family trips because we wanted to take care of her at home. However, I know this experience has taught our children about sacrifice and unconditional love. It has taught me the same. Dogs give us unconditional love. The least we can do is give it back. There will likely be times of great sadness and hardship, but in the end, you will feel very lucky for the time you have together. 71. In paragraph 2, why does the author mention what she did late that night? A. To complain about the troubles of raising a dog. B. To show her regret of meeting her friend’s new puppy. C. To tell readers that she is taking care of an old sick dog. D. To describe the correct way of caring for dogs. 72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. When the author first got Skyler, she was always running in the house. B. Skyler has always been eager to have people beside her in the home. C. Skyler will beg for some food before she gets up. D. To take care of Skyler, the author often brings her during the journey. 73. According to the passage, what does the author think of keeping a dog? A. She is strongly against keeping a dog. B. She considers it a double-edged sword to keep a dog. C. She suggests we should think twice before keeping a dog. D. She thinks keeping a dog is worthwhile for the whole family. 74. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A Friend’s New Puppy B. The Honor of Loving an Old Dog C. How to Care for a Sick Dog D.

(C) The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team. In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts. The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an attitude towards the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation. Cultures are often identified by their symbols — images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles (图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes. In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression. To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that judges all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric. A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil. All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one’s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others. 78. The underlined word “innate” in paragraph 2 most probably means ________. A. avoidable B. developed C. managed D. inborn 79. Which of the following best describes the development of paragraph 3? A. From symbols used in ancient religious settings to symbols used in modern political settings. B. From symbols understood in the same way worldwide to symbols limited by culture. C. From symbols shaped by particular cultures to symbols open to competing readings. D. From symbols learned through cultural spread to symbols judged by ethnocentric standards. 80. What makes extreme ethnocentrism different from the ethnocentrism shared by most people? A. It appreciates various cultures and treats all cultures as equally worthy. B. It is based on national pride and contributes to a well-functioning society. C. It may develop into racism and a belief in one’s own racial superiority. D. It denies the value of one’s own culture and rejects all forms of cultural loyalty. 81. Which statement may the author support most? A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society. B. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world. C. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures. D. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude. Section C (8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Good News for Gamers Video games can sometimes have a bad reputation because they keep people indoors and looking at a screen instead of talking and playing with others face to face. ___82___ Scientists from the University of Vermont used data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) scheme, which is a study of brain development and health of children in the US as they move into adulthood. The results were taken from 2,217 children aged nine or 10. They were divided into two groups: young people who never play video games and those who play them for three or more hours a day. The young people were set two tasks. The first one measured their reaction times by seeing how quickly they could press buttons that matched images on a screen. The second test involved using their memory. ___83___ During the tests, their brains were scanned with fMRI, which uses magnets to measure brain activity. The people who played video games were consistently better at the two tasks, and the fMRI scans showed that they also had more activity in the parts of their brains that look after memory and attention. ___84___ However, it’s important to note that researchers don’t yet know if gaming improved their memory and reactions, or if they already had good memories and reactions and therefore enjoyed gaming and played a lot. ___85___The team could also perhaps find out in future if particular types of video games affect people’s brain activity differently. The lead scientist on the study, Bader Chaarani says that too much screen time is not good for people’s mental well being or physical health. It is still very important to spend time outdoors in the fresh air, taking exercise and having fun with friends and family. A. This means that people who play video games show more brain activity. B. Compared with scrolling through videos on YouTube, playing video games surely makes brain more active. C. However, a new study has revealed that video games might be good for brain development in young people. D. Not all of gaming’s effects on the brain are positive despite the activated brain. E. The scientists are hoping to carry on studying the same young people as they get older to track the effects of gaming. F. They were shown pictures of people’s faces and then, a bit later, were shown more and had to say if any of the faces were the same.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) We recently went to a friend’s backyard to meet her new puppy. He was lovely beyond words. Our friend was wearing smiles as she told us about his first days at home. It was truly puppy love. Later that night, I walked behind my own dog to help her climb up the stairs, and heated up the homemade food that helps control her kidney (肾) disease. You can’t imagine these extra cares when you began raising a puppy. For me, I am lucky to know this more “mature” love. To love, and to be loved, by an old dog is truly an honor. For a long time, I denied the fact that our dog was getting old, or I really didn’t notice that Skyler was getting older. But these days, there is no denying the fact. Sometimes, she will fall while eating from her bowl and wait patiently for someone to help her up. I still remember the first days of Skyler. In the home, she always needed to be beside someone, with at least one part of her touching one part of you. At the park, it was different. If we started running toward the end of a field, she would cross the finish line before we had even made it halfway. Now, at 15, Skyler still needs to be right beside you on the couch. But it is hard. It is sad to see this once fast, strong dog struggle to walk up the front steps or to see her begging eyes whenever she needs help to get up on the couch. Over the past few years, we have had to give up certain family trips because we wanted to take care of her at home. However, I know this experience has taught our children about sacrifice and unconditional love. It has taught me the same. Dogs give us unconditional love. The least we can do is give it back. There will likely be times of great sadness and hardship, but in the end, you will feel very lucky for the time you have together. 71. In paragraph 2, why does the author mention what she did late that night? A. To complain about the troubles of raising a dog. B. To show her regret of meeting her friend’s new puppy. C. To tell readers that she is taking care of an old sick dog. D. To describe the correct way of caring for dogs. 72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. When the author first got Skyler, she was always running in the house. B. Skyler has always been eager to have people beside her in the home. C. Skyler will beg for some food before she gets up. D. To take care of Skyler, the author often brings her during the journey. 73. According to the passage, what does the author think of keeping a dog? A. She is strongly against keeping a dog. B. She considers it a double-edged sword to keep a dog. C. She suggests we should think twice before keeping a dog. D. She thinks keeping a dog is worthwhile for the whole family. 74. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A Friend’s New Puppy B. The Honor of Loving an Old Dog C. How to Care for a Sick Dog D. A Family Trip to Remember 【答案】71. C 72. B 73. D 74. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者陪伴自家年迈生病的狗Skyler的经历，从朋友家新养的小狗写起，对比了养幼犬与照顾老年犬的不同，表达了照顾老狗虽然辛苦，但这份“成熟的爱”是一种荣幸，并让全家人学会了牺牲与无条件的爱。 【71题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Later that night, I walked behind my own dog to help her climb up the stairs, and heated up the homemade food that helps control her kidney (肾) disease. (那天晚上晚些时候，我跟在自己的狗后面，帮她爬上楼梯，并加热了有助于控制她肾病的自制食物。)”可知，作者提到自己深夜帮狗上楼梯、加热控制肾病的食物，是为了告诉读者她正在照顾的是一只年迈生病的狗，不同于第一段中朋友家活泼可爱的新养小狗。 【72题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“In the home, she always needed to be beside someone, with at least one part of her touching one part of you. (在家里，她总是需要待在某个人身边，至少身体的一部分要碰到你的一部分。)”以及第五段第一句“Now, at 15, Skyler still needs to be right beside you on the couch. (如今15岁的Skyler仍然需要紧挨着你坐在沙发上。)”可知，Skyler在家里一直渴望有人陪在身边。 【73题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“However, I know this experience has taught our children about sacrifice and unconditional love. It has taught me the same. (然而，我知道这段经历教会了我们的孩子牺牲和无条件的爱。它也教会了我同样的道理。)”以及最后一句“There will likely be times of great sadness and hardship, but in the end, you will feel very lucky for the time you have together. (可能会有非常悲伤和艰难的时刻，但最终，你会为你们在一起的时光感到非常幸运。)”可知，作者认为养狗让全家人学会了牺牲与无条件的爱，虽然辛苦但最终感到幸运，说明她认为养狗对整个家庭是值得的。 【74题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段写朋友家新小狗带来的欢乐，第二段转入作者照顾年迈病狗的现实，第三至五段回忆Skyler年轻时的样子与如今的衰老，最后一段点明照顾老狗让家人学会牺牲与无条件的爱，并表明爱一只老狗并被它爱着，真是一种荣幸。全文围绕照顾年迈的狗展开，表达这份爱的荣幸与价值，B选项“The Honor of Loving an Old Dog (爱一只老狗的荣幸)”最能概括全文主旨。 (B) Volunteer with Care Partners Care Partners volunteer opportunities cover a wide range of needs and areas, so whatever your interests, talents or skills are, we can find the fit that works for you.

In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts. The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an attitude towards the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation. Cultures are often identified by their symbols — images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles (图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes. In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression. To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that judges all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric. A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil. All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one’s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others. 78. The underlined word “innate” in paragraph 2 most probably means ________. A. avoidable B. developed C. managed D. inborn 79. Which of the following best describes the development of paragraph 3? A. From symbols used in ancient religious settings to symbols used in modern political settings. B. From symbols understood in the same way worldwide to symbols limited by culture. C. From symbols shaped by particular cultures to symbols open to competing readings. D. From symbols learned through cultural spread to symbols judged by ethnocentric standards. 80. What makes extreme ethnocentrism different from the ethnocentrism shared by most people? A. It appreciates various cultures and treats all cultures as equally worthy. B. It is based on national pride and contributes to a well-functioning society. C. It may develop into racism and a belief in one’s own racial superiority. D. It denies the value of one’s own culture and rejects all forms of cultural loyalty. 81. Which statement may the author support most? A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society. B. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world. C. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures. D. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude. 【答案】78. D 79. C 80. C 81. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了“文化”的含义及其习得过程，说明了文化通过符号来体现且不同文化对同一符号可能有不同理解，并阐述了民族中心主义的概念、普遍性及其极端形式可能导致的种族主义，指出尊重和接受不同文化才是恰当的文化态度。 【78题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段前三句“The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. (一个群体的核心信仰和习俗代代相传。正因如此，大多数人认为文化是习得的而非innate的。人们获得一种文化，是因为他们并非天生就带有文化。)”可知，画线词innate与learned (习得的)相对，人并非天生带有文化，因此innate意为“天生的、与生俱来的”。 【79题详解】 推理判断题。本段第一句提出文化常通过符号来识别，并给“符号”下定义，是全段的总起句。第二、三句分别通过图腾柱和黄颜色这两个例子来说明符号如何承载特定文化的含义，说明同一符号在不同文化中含义不同；支撑总起句，并为下一句的总结作铺垫。第四句用Thus引出本段小结，不同文化对同一符号的反应可能大不相同。最后一句以旗帜为例，具体印证上一句的结论，说明同一符号可被不同文化作出不同甚至对立的解读。因此，本段的展开方式是从“受特定文化塑造的符号”到“可被不同解读的符号”。 【80题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“A society that judges all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric.(一个用自身标准评判所有其他文化的社会被认为是民族中心主义的。)”以及第五段第一句“All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. (所有人在某种程度上都是民族中心主义，民族中心主义的某些方面，如民族自豪感，有助于社会良好运转。)”和最后一句“Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others. (相比之下，极端的民族中心主义可能导致种族主义——即这样一种信念：正是种族和种族出身造成了人类性格或能力上的差异，并且本种族优越于所有其他种族。)”可知，大多数人都有的民族中心主义包含民族自豪感等有益方面，而极端民族中心主义的不同之处在于它可能导致种族主义、相信本种族的优越性。 【81题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句“An appreciation for one’s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. (然而，对自身文化的欣赏并不妨碍对另一种文化的接受和尊重。历史记录了许多多元文化群体长期以来的活力和成功，在这些群体中，来自众多不同文化背景的人们共同生活和工作。)”可知，作者认为欣赏自身文化不妨碍接受和尊重其他文化，并肯定多元文化群体的活力与成功，说明作者支持尊重和接受不同文化的态度。 Section C (8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Good News for Gamers Video games can sometimes have a bad reputation because they keep people indoors and looking at a screen instead of talking and playing with others face to face. ___82___ Scientists from the University of Vermont used data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) scheme, which is a study of brain development and health of children in the US as they move into adulthood. The results were taken from 2,217 children aged nine or 10. They were divided into two groups: young people who never play video games and those who play them for three or more hours a day. The young people were set two tasks. The first one measured their reaction times by seeing how quickly they could press buttons that matched images on a screen. The second test involved using their memory. ___83___ During the tests, their brains were scanned with fMRI, which uses magnets to measure brain activity. The people who played video games were consistently better at the two tasks, and the fMRI scans showed that they also had more activity in the parts of their brains that look after memory and attention. ___84___ However, it’s important to note that researchers don’t yet know if gaming improved their memory and reactions, or if they already had good memories and reactions and therefore enjoyed gaming and played a lot. ___85___The team could also perhaps find out in future if particular types of video games affect people’s brain activity differently. The lead scientist on the study, Bader Chaarani says that too much screen time is not good for people’s mental well being or physical health. It is still very important to spend time outdoors in the fresh air, taking exercise and having fun with friends and family. A. This means that people who play video games show more brain activity. B. Compared with scrolling through videos on YouTube, playing video games surely makes brain more active. C. However, a new study has revealed that video games might be good for brain development in young people. D. Not all of gaming’s effects on the brain are positive despite the activated brain. E. The scientists are hoping to carry on studying the same young people as they get older to track the effects of gaming. F. They were shown pictures of people’s faces and then, a bit later, were shown more and had to say if any of the faces were the same. 【答案】82. C 83. F 84. A 85. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项研究显示，玩电子游戏可能有益于年轻人大脑发育，且科学家希望继续追踪研究其影响。 【82题详解】 由上文“Video games can sometimes have a bad reputation because they keep people indoors and looking at a screen instead of talking and playing with others face to face. (电子游戏有时声誉不佳，因为它们让人们呆在室内，看着屏幕，而不是与他人面对面交谈和玩耍。)”可知，前文提及游戏的负面印象。空格后介绍佛蒙特大学的研究，指出游戏对大脑发育的积极影响。C项However, a new study has revealed that video games might be good for brain development in young people.(然而，一项新研究表明电子游戏可能有益于年轻人的大脑发育。)以“However”转折，引出研究结论，既呼应上文的负面评价，又开启后文的积极发现，其中“new study”与后文“The results were taken from 2,217 children aged nine or 10”形成衔接。故选C项。 【83题详解】 上文提到“The second test involved using their memory.(第二项测试涉及记忆能力。)”，说明测试内容。F项They were shown pictures of people’s faces and then, a bit later, were shown more and had to say if any of the faces were the same.(他们先看人脸图片，之后再看更多图片，需判断是否有相同面孔。)具体描述了记忆测试的流程，“shown pictures of faces”和“say if any were the same”对应“using their memory”，是对前文的详细展开。故选F项。 【84题详解】 上文指出“fMRI scans showed that they also had more activity in the parts of their brains that look after memory and attention.(功能磁共振成像扫描显示，游戏者大脑中负责记忆和注意力的区域活动更活跃。)”，说明扫描结果。A项This means that people who play video games show more brain activity.(这意味着玩电子游戏的人表现出更多的大脑活动。)中的this指代前文的扫描结果，“more brain activity”是对“more activity in brain parts”的同义转述，起到总结上文的作用。故选A项。 【85题详解】 下文提到“The team could also perhaps find out in future if particular types of video games affect people’s brain activity differently.(研究团队未来可能还会探究特定类型的游戏是否对大脑活动有不同影响。)”，说明未来的研究方向。E项The scientists are hoping to carry on studying the same young people as they get older to track the effects of gaming.(科学家希望继续研究同一群年轻人，追踪游戏对他们的影响。)中的“hoping to carry on studying”和“track the effects”与后文“find out in future”形成时间上的递进，共同阐述研究的延续性。故选E项。 Ⅳ．Translation (15’=3’ + 3’ + 4’+ 5’) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 86. 他上周恳求我帮他写科幻小说。（beg）(汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He begged me to help him write a science fiction novel last week. 【解析】 【详解】主语为he；表示“恳求某人做某事”短语为beg sb. to do sth.；表示“帮助某人做某事”短语为help sb. do sth.；表示“写科幻小说”译为write a science fiction novel；表示“上周”短语为last week。发生在过去用一般过去时。 87. 她对网上的恶评一无所知。（ignorant）(汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She is ignorant of the nasty comments online. 【解析】 【详解】句子可看作陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语是she，固定搭配be ignorant of sth.表示“不知道/对……一无所知”，宾语“恶评”用nasty comments，后置定语“网上的”用形容词online。 88. 很多青少年在熬夜追剧和早睡之间难以抉择，这十分常见。（tear）(汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It is quite common that many teenagers are torn between staying up late to chase dramas and going to bed early. 【解析】 【详解】表示“这十分常见”用It is quite common that...句型，it作形式主语，that引导主语从句。表示“很多青少年”用many teenagers，作从句主语。表示“难以抉择”用固定短语be torn between A and B。between后接两个并列动名词短语作宾语。表示“熬夜追剧”用动名词短语staying up late to chase dramas，作宾语，不定式to chase dramas作目的状语。表示“早睡”用动名词短语going to bed early，作宾语。 89. 当下，一些专家呼吁政府限制人工智能，其飞速发展可能会导致信息不安全和社会不平等。（appeal）(汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Nowadays, some experts appeal to the government to limit artificial intelligence, whose rapid development may lead to information insecurity and social inequality. 【解析】 【详解】表示“当下”用nowadays，作时间状语，位于句首，首字母大写。表示“一些专家”用some experts，作主语。表示“呼吁政府限制人工智能”用appeal to the government to limit artificial intelligence，句子陈述客观现状，用一般现在时，主语some experts为复数，谓语直接用appeal。表示“其飞速发展可能会导致信息不安全和社会不平等”用非限制性定语从句，表示“飞速发展”用rapid development，作主语；表示“可能会导致信息不安全和社会不平等”用may lead to information insecurity and social inequality；先行词为artificial intelligence，关系词在从句中作定语，与rapid development为所属关系，用whose引导。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
