The truth was that the little girl came up to him and gave him a quarter, so he gave her two quarters in return. He said he wanted to show her an idea that when people are generous, they will receive more than they give. I felt shocked by what Laddie said and got lost in thought. Minutes later, I had a question and wanted to know its answer.      I asked Laddie why he refused to take my money and kept smiling. He explained he wanted to help me do something but he couldn't take credit for what he did not do. He continued to tell me about the reason why he kept smiling to the people in the street. That's because he wanted to pay something back for their kindness. What a generous man he was, even though he still was stuck in his life. However, he had a great spirit. 【详细解析】 第一部分 单词练习（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 单句语法填空（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 15分） 1. 答案：rewarding 考点：形容词作定语 解析：空格后面是名词result，需要形容词修饰名词。reward是动词/名词“回报”；rewarding为形容词，意为“有益的；有意义的；值得的”。rewarded多修饰人（感到有回报的），此处修饰事物result，用rewarding。 句意：做这份工作最有意义的收获，就是我能清楚知道自己何时何地处于最佳状态。 2. 答案：in 考点：固定介词短语 解析：固定搭配 in memory of，意为“为了纪念……”，在句中作目的状语。 句意：我们通常在四月初庆祝清明节，以此缅怀我们的祖先。 3. 答案：at 考点：固定搭配 解析：put … at risk 是固定短语，表示“使……处于危险之中”。 句意：如果逼迫孩子变得过度争强好胜，把赢看得高于一切，那么他的情绪健康就会受到威胁。 4. 答案：talking 考点：固定句型 It’s no use doing sth. 解析：句型结构：It’s no use + doing sth. 表示“做某事是没用的”，it为形式主语，后面动名词才是真正主语。 句意：和他讨论这个话题没有用，因为他对此一无所知。 5. 答案：what 考点：主语从句引导词 解析：本句it是形式主语，后面从句是真正的主语。从句部分  ___ caused the infectious virus to spread quickly  缺少主语，指代“事物”，表“是什么”，用what；that引导主语从句不充当成分。 句意：是什么导致这种传染性病毒在这个病房内快速传播，至今仍是一个谜。 6. 答案：dedication 考点：名词（强调句型） 解析：本句是强调句型 It was … that …。形容词great后面必须接名词。dedicate是动词“奉献”；dedication是名词，意为“奉献；投入”。 句意：正是他巨大的奉献精神赢得了我们的敬佩与尊重。 7. 答案：harmonious 考点：形容词并列作定语 解析：and连接并列成分，前面peaceful（和平的，形容词），所以空格也需要形容词修饰名词community。harmony是名词“和谐”，harmonious是形容词“和谐的”。 句意：对我们来说，首要任务是建设一个和平、和谐的社区。 8. 答案：nobly 考点：副词修饰动词 解析：空格修饰后面的动词did，副词修饰动词。noble是形容词“高尚的”；nobly是副词“高尚地；慷慨地”。 句意：我生病的时候，她慷慨地包揽了我的工作和她自己的工作，对此我十分感激。 9. 答案：assistant 考点：名词 解析：不定冠词an后面接可数名词单数。assist是动词“协助”；assistant名词，意为“助手，助理”。 句意：老板想要一名懂法语并且有工作经验的助理。 10. 答案：tragic 考点：形容词作表语 解析：本句是it作形式主语的句型，be动词was后面接形容词作表语。tragedy是名词“悲剧”；tragic形容词，意为“悲惨的；令人痛心的”。 句意：看到这么多生命被这场自然灾害摧毁，令人痛心。 第二节 单词拼写（共 10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 15分） 11. 答案：vital 解析：vital 形容词，意思“极其重要的”；固定搭配 play a vital role in… 在……中起到至关重要的作用。 句意：信任在协作、开放式思想交流以及良好职场文化中发挥着极其重要的作用。 12. 答案：tackle 解析：tackle 动词，“处理、解决（难题）”；the way to do sth. 不定式作后置定语，to后面用动词原形。 句意：人群继续激烈争论解决这个问题最好的方式。 13. 答案：statistic 解析：statistic 名词，统计数据；谓语shows是单数，主语用单数形式。 句意：该统计数据显示这种疾病的死亡率下降了3%。 14. 答案：ward 解析：ward名词，意思“病房”，visit the ward 参观/探望病房。 句意：第二天早上我们去病房探望时，惊讶地发现这个女孩战胜了病魔。 15. 答案：miracles 解析：miracle名词“奇迹”；前面more（更多的），后接可数名词复数miracles。 句意：在全体市民的共同努力下，这座城市计划创造更多奇迹，追寻更加繁荣的未来。 16. 答案：joint 解析：joint形容词，“共同的”；make a joint effort 共同努力，固定搭配。 句意：我们必须共同努力保护环境，与自然和谐共处。 17. 答案：realistic 解析：realistic形容词，“能够实现的；现实的”，修饰后面名词chance。 句意：他对这份工作的投入，让他有机会创造奇迹。 18. 答案：influential 解析：influential形容词，“有影响力的”，修饰后面名词Chinese philosopher。 句意：这个文化节让孔子古老的智慧重焕生机，孔子是一位极具影响力的中国哲学家和教育家。 19. 答案：civilian 解析：civilian形容词，“平民的；民用的”，修饰missions。 句意：这家公司面向普通民众的太空项目，让太空旅行看上去人人都可以实现。 20. 答案：mounted 解析：mount动词，登上；主句谓语applauded是一般过去时，as引导时间状语从句时态保持一致，用过去式mounted。 句意：当这位传奇记者登上讲台时，观众掌声雷动。 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） A 21~23. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了新加坡中医学院开设的一门中医硕士课程，包括课程设置、时长、毕业及学位授予条件、费用等相关信息。 21. 推理判断题。第一段提到医学硕士专业学位旨在培养具有较强理论基础和实践技能的高级中医药人才，进一步推动中医药事业的发展。由此可推知，该硕士项目的主要目标是培养熟练的中医药专业人才。故选D。 22. 细节理解题。根据表格中 TCM Medical Case Study课程对应的描述“Integrating the classic medical cases of renowned modern TCM physicians, this subject explains the physiciansˈ unique use of prescription herbs.”可知，“中医医案研究”这门课程整合了现代著名中医的经典医案。故选B。 23. 细节理解题。根据表格中“Paid twice per year for3 years”以及Course Fee对应的总费用“$28,252.80”可知，每年支付的学费是(28,252.80÷3=)9417.6美元，不涉及商品和服务税变化，为每年至少需要支付的课程费用。故选A。 B 24~27. 语篇解读  本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了68岁的Mina Karagianni经营的一个用小马为特殊人群做治疗的公益组织。 24.细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，Gentle Carousel Greece利用小马为生病和残疾的人提供宠物疗愈，也就是安慰有特殊健康需求的人。故选B。 25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“During two years of training, the horses are taught how to work in confined environments with children and adults with special health needs.”可知，这些治疗用的小马会经过一系列的特殊训练。故选D。 26.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ˈIt seems that something awakens their senses,ˈ Volikaki noted. The horses could often get students to make more progress than with other therapy methods.”可推知，小马对孩子们有积极的影响。故选A。 27.推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，Karagianni是个体贴的人。由最后一段中“Although facing financial difficulties, Karagianni keeps going because she sees the great benefits the children and adults receive from the animals.”可知，尽管面临经济困难，Karagianni仍在继续她的工作，因为她看到了孩子们和成年人从这些动物身上获得的巨大好处，这表明她是一个意志坚强的人。故选D。 C 28~31. 语篇解读  这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现，使用短信缩写的人被认为更不真诚，收到回复的可能性也更小，文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究带来的启示。 28.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Across the experiments, individuals who used texting abbreviations were perceived as more insincere”和第三段中“We thought texters might like abbreviations because it would convey an informal sense of closeness, so we were surprised that abbreviations created negative perceptions about people who use them.”可知，在David Fang看来，关于研究结果令人出乎意料的是使用缩写的短信发送者被认为不真诚。故选C。 29. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In the experiments, texters who used abbreviations received shorter and fewer responses and were less likely to receive contact information from the other texter.”可知，如果收件人收到的全是缩写的信息，那么他可能会回以更简短的信息。故选A。 30.推理判断题。根据最后一段Fang说的前两句话可推知，他提到快递司机是为了表示在某些互动中可以使用缩写。故选B。 31.标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要说明了研究发现使用短信缩写的人被认为更不真诚，收到回复的可能性也更小，文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究带来的启示。因此，C选项“短信中使用缩写的隐性成本”能够概括文章主旨，适合作文章标题。故选C。 D 32~35. 语篇解读  本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了未来教学工作可能由机器人完成，紧接着讨论了机器人教学和面对面地真人教师教学各自的优势以及在线学习的发展情况，最后讲述了一位教师对该问题的看法。 32.段落大意题。根据第二段可知，在真人教学中，教师使用的一系列软技能是机器很难精准复刻的：教师可以判断学生的需求，并相应地调整反馈；教师会调整材料，使其更吸引人，更有效；教师会注意到那些掉队或扰乱课堂的学生并给予照顾。因此，本段主要讲的是真人教师教学的优势。故选B。 33.词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“‘interestsˈ and ‘reference pointsˈ are, ‘and it figures out how to teach you in a faster and faster way over timeˈ”可知，此处指机器人会了解你的“兴趣”和“参考点”是什么，然后随着时间的推移，它会想出如何以越来越快的方式教你。由此推知，机器人会全面了解你，以便因材施教，因此画线词idiosyncrasies应该是指“个性”。故选A。 34.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“there has been a hug e increase in online learning platforms. Companies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace（在线学习平台已经有了巨大的增长。Udemy和可汗学院等公司提供的课程让数百万人可以在家按照自己的进度免费学习）”可推知，提到Udemy和可汗学院是为了讲述在线学习的发展情况。故选A。 35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Indeed, Frey admits... even though people will lose their jobs.（事实上，弗雷承认还有一段路要走：‘没有人能完全破解未来教育的密码。ˈ老师们自己是怎么想的呢？英国德比大学的唐纳德·克拉克教授认为，我们应该接受改变，即使人们会失去工作）”可推知，在最后一段之后可能会讨论教育工作者将如何应对未来的挑战。故选C。 第2节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 36~40. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中医的养生与治疗价值，分析其在年轻人中流行的原因，并说明国家对中医药的支持及文化自信意义。 36.由上文“Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) offers a variety of approaches to improve wellness.

The horses are bred as miniature animals and stand about 72 centimeters tall. They are specially trained to provide comfort to disabled children, sick people, or older adults. During two years of training, the horses are taught how to work in confined environments with children and adults with special health needs. Caregivers say the horses provide a form of pet therapy that offers valuable social interactions and new learning experiences. Gentle Carousel Greece is run by 68-year-old Mina Karagianni. She learned about the Florida-based organization over the Internet while she was searching for information on a pony she had rescued. After learning about the groupˈs activities, she got the idea to start her own operation. So, she made changes to her land to care for the horses. She turned her property into what she called a "Magic Garden". She had everything she needed to care for the horses. She also ran a small restaurant and party area. Karagianni launched her Greek group in 2014. The organization has served about 12,000 children since it began. The horses were recently brought to a school outside Athens for children with special needs. Nine-year-old Josifina Topa Mazuch seemed drawn to Ivy, a small gray horse standing no taller than her pink wheelchair. She ended up leading the animal down a school hallway. "They made me feel really happy, and I really want them to come again," she said. At the special needs school, teacher Eleni Volikaki said she saw "incredible" reactions from the children. "It seems that something awakens their senses," Volikaki noted. The horses could often get students to make more progress than with other therapy methods. Although facing financial difficulties, Karagianni keeps going because she sees the great benefits the children and adults receive from the animals. She plans to seek help and inspire more people to get involved. 24.What is Gentle Carousel Greece intended to do? A. To help people interact with the disabled. B. To comfort people with special health needs. C. To teach children how to look after horses. D. To rescue animals in confined environments. 25.What do we know about the therapy horses? A. They are rescued and bred by Karagianni. B. They cater to the needs of different people. C. They are larger in size than average horses. D. They go through a series of special training. 26.What can we learn from Eleni Volikakiˈs words? A. The horses have a positive impact on the children. B. More fund is expected to be raised for the disabled. C. Pet therapy is as effective as other therapy methods. D. More horses should be arranged to come to schools. 27.Which of the following best describes Karagianni? A. Courageous and humble. B. Open-minded and humorous. C. Energetic but demanding. D. Strong-willed and considerate. C If you want to seem sincere and receive more responses to your texts, spell out words instead of abbreviating them, according to a new research published by the American Psychological Association. Researchers conducted eight experiments with a total of more than 5,300 participants using various methods. Across the experiments, individuals who used texting abbreviations were perceived as more①insincere and were less likely to receive replies because they were seen as putting less effort in text conversations. The research was published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology. "In daily interactions, we often encounter people who could be considered good texters or poor texters," said lead researcher David Fang, a doctoral student at Stanford University. "We thought texters might like abbreviations because it would convey an informal sense of closeness, so we were surprised that abbreviations created negative perceptions about people who use them." Texting has become a dominant form of digital communication, and most texters use some abbreviations, such as IDK for "I donˈt know" or GOAT for "greatest of all time". In a preliminary survey by the researchers, 99% of respondents reported they used texting abbreviations, and 84% of them believed that others would like abbreviations. But people might not realize that abbreviations come with costs. In the experiments, texters who used abbreviations received shorter and fewer responses and were less likely to receive contact information from the other texter. Texting abbreviations could contribute to②loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesnˈt believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. "We often③tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort and accept being perceived as less sincere, like quickly texting with a delivery driver," Fang said. "However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to appear more sincere and strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression." 28.What was unexpected about the research results according to David Fang? A. The research attracted over 5,300 participants. B. People cared so much about how others texted. C. The texters using abbreviations were considered insincere. D. Abbreviations were considered to convey a sense of closeness. 29.How is a recipient likely to react to messages full of abbreviations? A. Respond with shorter messages. B. Ignore the messages. C. Spell out responses in full words. D. Stop using abbreviations. 30.Why is a delivery driver mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To illustrate the fact that abbreviations are widely accepted. B. To indicate abbreviations can be used in some interactions. C. To emphasize the importance of sincerity in communication. D. To explain the necessity to put more efforts into conversations. 31.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Pros and Cons of Abbreviations in Texting B. IDK Is OK, Why Bother with "I Donˈt Know"? C. The Hidden Cost of Abbreviations in Texting D. Shortcuts to Better Interpersonal Relationships D Will your job be done by a robot in the future? Bank of England economists predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat from automation. But could even the admired profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators? At first glance, teaching might seem impossible to be replaced by robots. Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy exactly. They judge pupilsˈ needs and tailor feedback accordingly. They adapt materials to make them more engaging and effective. And they provide kind care: looking out for students who drop behind or disturb the class. Despite that, some believe the future of education will be technological. Futurist Thomas Frey, from Business Insider magazine, predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the Internet is going to be an education-based company that we havenˈt heard of yet.” He thinks that “bots”—online robot teachers—will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress（压缩）an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning. A bot learns what your “idiosyncrasies”“ interests” and “reference points” are, “and it figures out how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,” according to Frey. Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached over the next decade, there has been a huge increase in online learning platforms. Companies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace. But there are limitations. Without the face-to-face inspiration of a classroom environment, the majority of students fail to complete online courses. How to keep motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master. Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go: “Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.” What do teachers themselves think about this? Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs. 32.Whatˈs the second paragraph mainly about? A. Teaching by robots can be replaced. B. The advantages of teaching by human teachers. C. Human teachers will be replaced by robots. D. The potential of the electronic educators. 33.What does the underlined word “idiosyncrasies” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Personalities. B. Senses. C. Nationalities. D. Families. 34.Why are Udemy and Khan Academy mentioned? A. To tell how online learning is progressing. B. To show the significance of online learning. C. To explain how online learning works. D. To suggest the shortcomings of online learning. 35.What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. How robots will change in the future. B. How artificial intelligence will destroy jobs. C. How educators will meet the future challenge. D. How electronic educators will lose their jobs. 第二节 七选五(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。 Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) offers a variety of approaches to improve wellness.

During that trip, I ended up in Seattle where I met Laddie McCrea.     Laddie was a hobo(流浪汉). He was about 60-70 years old and looked 100. Laddie had shoulder length white hair covered with weeds from the previous night's bedding(垫草). He was in rags with an unpleasant smell of alcohol and garbage.     When I first met Laddie, he was standing on a busy downtown Seattle sidewalk. He greeted every passer-by with a smile, a pleasant greeting and an extended palm(手掌). Each day, society was rushing past Laddie, either unaware of his existence or avoiding him, a smelly, begging hobo.     I found Laddie to be an excellent character for my movie, so I wanted to pay him to allow me to stand in the background and film him. However, He rejected the money but accepted my requirement. Then, I spent three days hidden among the crowd, filming Laddie. Most of the time he was unaware of my existence. Each day he stood in a busy section of town greeting the world with a smile and an extended palm, in order to earn enough change for the evening's night cap.     One special day, as I watched from a bench off in the distance, a young girl, around 6 or 7, with a pretty dress, approached Laddie from behind and tugged on his shirt. Laddie turned to the girl. She then reached up and handed him something. At that, Laddie showed his happiness and reached in his pocket, gave her something and the girl ran back to her parents excitedly showing them what she had received. 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。    I was curious about the exchange. __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________     I asked Laddie why he refused to take my money and kept smiling. __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
