Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”. The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology. Throughout the school year, they’ve observed students gaining not only companionship from the animals but some life skills. The students replenish the feed supply — which costs about $25 for 50 pounds — with money from selling some of the eggs the chickens produce at $5 to $10 a dozen, making the project self-sustaining. “Egg prices soared, making it a great deal,” said Maguire, “and it teaches sustainability.” The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings. “It’s a moment that they don’t have to think about housing insecurity, food insecurity, whether their parents are going to get deployed, or how they’re going to have to improve their grades because they’re struggling,” he said. “The chickens don’t judge. They just love them. It’s a peaceful escape.” As school ends, students head home to prepare for high school, while the chickens stay with Maguire for the summer. But first, he has a surprise he’s going to let the kids in on soon. “I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.” 24．(2.5分)What can be learned from the story of Maicy Nealy? A．Her career choices through animal care. B．Her professional farming skill development. C．Her transformation from fear to lifelong passion. D．Her strong companionship with outdoor animals. 25．(2.5分)Why did Maguire introduce the chicken program at first? A．To improve students’ teamwork skills in class. B．To help students deal with employment problems. C．To create a sustainable food source for the school. D．To provide hands-on science learning experiences. 26．(2.5分)What impressed the school counselors about the program? A．Its potential to generate school income. B．Its healing value for troubled students. C．Its improvement in academic performance. D．Its popularity among small animal lovers. 27．(2.5分)What does the arrival of the new chicks symbolize? A．The program’s financial success. B．The necessity of animal care. C．The advanced feeding techniques. D．The new round of learning experience. （本题10分）The English language is constantly evolving (演变), and there are a great number of words out there that don’t mean what they used to. We’re talking about common words that you use every day. We take them for granted, but at some point in history, their meanings totally changed, and they all originally (原始地) meant something much different. Generally speaking, the word “nice” is one with good meanings. However, back in the late 12th century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far from nice. Way back then, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. Later on in the 13th century, “nice” came to mean “shy”, and during the 14th century, it even meant “being careful”. But finally in the 18th century, it changed to the kinder definition we know today, and ever since then, people have been using it in a popular way. All of us get sad every now and then. It’s a normal part of life. A loved one passes away, we don’t get promoted at work, or your favorite toy is lost. These are all things that can make us very sad. However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different definition. Back in the 1300s, it was the perfect word if you’d eaten too much food at dinner. Through the years, the definition of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”, all before evolving into the word we use today. “Awful” is perhaps the one word on this list that should have stuck with its original meaning. While today it means “bad” or “terrible”, “awful” used to mean “awe-inspiring” or “full of awe”. In other words, if something was “awful”, then it was worthy of respect or even fear. However, over the years, “awful” has come to have a completely opposite meaning. 28．(2.5分)How many examples are given to support the topic of this text? A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6. 29．(2.5分)What did “nice” mean in the 14th century? A．Shy. B．Foolish. C．Being careful. D．Terrible. 30．(2.5分)If you’d eaten too much at dinner, which word did you use in the 14th century? A．Nice. B．Sad. C．Awful. D．Heavy. 31．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Words That Originally Meant Something Different B．Words with Opposite Meanings C．Languages Seldom Change in History D．Don’t Remember the Meanings of Words （本题10分）It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 32．(2.5分)What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A．The importance of remembering important moments. B．The inconsistency between words and meaning. C．The necessity of indirect communication. D．The possibility of argument in a couple's life. 33．(2.5分)What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 34．(2.5分)How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony? A．It uses fewer words to save time. B．It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings. C．It needs detailed explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 35．(2.5分)What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication. B．Luckily, it is never too late to correct these false views. C．Learners tend to prefer fluency to accuracy in daily study. D．Besides, language learning is wrongly seen as an individual task. E．People often ignore the cultural value behind language learning. F．They keep using the same language learned in school and never dare to try a second one. G．We can also build cross-cultural communication skills via relevant music, movies and books. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I’d moved to Hong Kong from my hometown in mainland China full of excitement with the firm belief that I was here to become a scientist.

The history of peonies in China dates back 57(1.5分) ancient times, with records of their cultivation appearing as early as the Qin Dynasty. Initially 58(1.5分) (find) in the wild, peonies were admired for their medicinal properties and ornamental beauty. During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui established his capital in Luoyang and issued a decree (法令) for 59(1.5分) (exception) flowers, including peonies, to be presented from all corners of the country. This marked the flower’s transition from a wild plant to a cultivated decorative species. By the Tang Dynasty, peonies 60(1.5分) (become) a symbol of wealth and fame, earning the title “national flower” during this era. Hundreds of poems celebrating the beauty of peonies emerged during this period, many of 61(1.5分) remain popular today. China’s peony industry has expanded beyond 62(1.5分) (it) borders, with cities like Heze exporting peony plants and products to over 30 countries and regions. The flower’s international appeal has made it 63(1.5分) valuable tool for promoting Chinese culture abroad. Initiatives like building peony gardens in foreign countries and hosting international forums on peony culture have 64(1.5分) (far) strengthened cultural ties and mutual understanding. Peony-related products, including seed oil, cosmetics, and tea, have gained popularity in global 65(1.5分) (market). These efforts not only enhance the peony’s global influence but also contribute to the sustainable development of the industry. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你校发起“Silk Road: Heritage in Innovation”国际青年项目，聚焦丝绸之路文化与现代科技的融合创新。作为项目负责人李华，给海外友好学校的学生写一封邮件： 1. 阐释项目核心； 2. 介绍项目活动； 3. 强调参与价值。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 After class, John was excited that he had created a very satisfying work, thus walking to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase was a golden ticket! John picked it up. His heart raced wildly when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck! The boys and girls in John’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize. Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! John looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Smith was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning. John decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would be most likely to be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping. He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?”, he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: John’s hand shook as he stared at the ticket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Spotting the blank line, Miss Smith asked John what he was doing there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ John’s hand shook as he stared at the ticket. Memories flashed — his sister’s hopeful eyes when he promised the toy pig, the pride in his parents’ faces when he earned tickets through kindness. But this ticket felt different. He imagined Miss Smith’s disappointed gaze if she discovered his deceit. With a deep breath, he set the pencil down. “No,” he whispered, deciding to place the ticket where he’d found it. Just then, footsteps echoed through the hallway.Paragraph 2: 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。A group of girls laughed in our history class when they shouldn't.

IT truly feels wonderful to be back at university again. What I want to share with you today is simple education matters greatly. When I first came to the U. S, I only planned to work as a repairman. At that time, I couldn't read newspapers, nor could I understand news's grams or movies on T. V. That was when I decided to attend city college and take english courses for international students. I was really proud to be a college student because no one in my family had ever studied at a college in my hometown. Most people finish school at the age of fifteen and then learn a trade. I followed the same path at fifteen. I learned the skills to become a repairman, and I moved to amErica one year later. Fortunately, I met an excEllent teacher who encouraged me to take math, business and history courses. Later, I became a full time college student. Looking back now, I feel extremely grateful for I can never tell where a life a beat me. If I hadn't attended the college before, I knew that I began to earn money simply because I was really good at math. The ability to solve problems with math is far more important than I once thought.

What I want to share with you today is simple education matters greatly. When I first came to the U. S, I only plan to work as a repairman. At that time, I couldn't read newspapers, nor could I understand news programs or movies on T. V. That was when I decided to attend city college and take english courses for international students. I was really proud to be a college student because no one in my family had ever studied at a college in my hometown. Most people finish school at the age of fifteen and then learn a trade. I followed the same path at fifteen. I learned the skills to become a repairman, and I moved to amErica one year later. Fortunately, I met an excEllent teacher who encouraged me to take math, business and history courses. Later, I became a full time college student.

All activities are open to Grade Ten students only.Upcoming Sports Matches Match Groups Date & Time Field Boys’ Basketball Team vs Class 3 Friday, Oct 10 4:00 PM No.1 Sports Field Girls’ Volleyball Team vs Class 7 Saturday, Oct 11 5:00 PM No.2 Sports Field Boys’ Basketball Team vs Class 5 Thursday, Oct 16 3:30 PM No. 1 Sports Field Boys’ Running Team vs Class 9 Saturday, Oct 18 4:00 PM Track Area Girls’ Badminton Team vs Class 2 Sunday, Oct 26 1:25 PM Indoor Hall This activity calendar is full of fun games for sports lovers. Every match is packed with warm cheers from classmates.Nearby Campus Rest Areas Right next to the sports fields, there are three rest rooms for students to relax between games. 1). Sunny Lounge It is just a short walk from all fields. It offers soft seats and clean drinking water. It’s a small mile away from the indoor badminton hall. It is ideal for groups to talk about game plans. 2). Sports Center Café It takes a 5-minute ride to get there. It provides simple snacks and hot drinks for students who feel tired after exercise. 3). Student Activity Room It is a little far from the track area. It has big tables for groups to share their feelings after matches.Field Access Rules Every sports field asks you to stay in your assigned area during games. Students must enter through the exact gate shown on their student sports pass. Each zone has its own digital sign. Before arriving at the sports center, make sure to download your sports pass on your school phone. The pass will guide you straight to your space. If you visit the same field with your friends, all of you need separate passes — one pass can’t be shared. 21．(2.5分)Which sports team will take part in two matches this month? A．Boys’ Running Team. B．Girls’ Volleyball Team. C．Girls’ Badminton Team. D．Boys’ Basketball Team. 22．(2.5分)Which rest area is the closest to all outdoor sports fields? A．Sunny Lounge. B．Sports Center Café.

C．Get your own student sports pass ready. D．Choose a rest area near your match field. 【答案】21．D 22．A 23．C 【导语】本文是格林高中体育月活动及校园配套服务指南。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据文章中“Upcoming Sports Matches(即将到来的体育比赛)”的表格信息可知，男子篮球队（Boys’ Basketball Team）分别在10月10日对阵3班，以及在10月16日对阵5班。因此，男子篮球队本月将参加两场比赛。 22．细节理解题。根据文章“Nearby Campus Rest Areas(附近校园休息区)”部分对“Sunny Lounge”的介绍“It is just a short walk from all fields.(它距离所有场地只有很短的步行路程。)”可知，Sunny Lounge是距离所有运动场最近的休息区。 23．细节理解题。根据文章“Field Access Rules(场地进入规则)”部分中的“Before arriving at the sports center, make sure to download your sports pass on your school phone. The pass will guide you straight to your space. If you visit the same field with your friends, all of you need separate passes — one pass can’t be shared.(到达体育中心前，请务必在你的学校手机上下载体育通行证。通行证会直接引导你前往指定区域。如果你和朋友一起前往同一场地，每个人都需要单独的通行证——一张通行证不能共享使用。)”可知，在进入运动场之前，学生必须准备好自己的体育通行证。 （本题10分）On a sunny morning in a small courtyard at Walt Whitman Middle School, a 14-year-old with a purple buzz cut held a plump chicken gently in her arms. “Her name is Betsy,” Maicy Nealy, an eighth-grader, said. Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”. The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology. Throughout the school year, they’ve observed students gaining not only companionship from the animals but some life skills. The students replenish the feed supply — which costs about $25 for 50 pounds — with money from selling some of the eggs the chickens produce at $5 to $10 a dozen, making the project self-sustaining. “Egg prices soared, making it a great deal,” said Maguire, “and it teaches sustainability.” The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings. “It’s a moment that they don’t have to think about housing insecurity, food insecurity, whether their parents are going to get deployed, or how they’re going to have to improve their grades because they’re struggling,” he said. “The chickens don’t judge. They just love them. It’s a peaceful escape.” As school ends, students head home to prepare for high school, while the chickens stay with Maguire for the summer. But first, he has a surprise he’s going to let the kids in on soon. “I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.” 24．(2.5分)What can be learned from the story of Maicy Nealy? A．Her career choices through animal care. B．Her professional farming skill development. C．Her transformation from fear to lifelong passion. D．Her strong companionship with outdoor animals. 25．(2.5分)Why did Maguire introduce the chicken program at first? A．To improve students’ teamwork skills in class. B．To help students deal with employment problems. C．To create a sustainable food source for the school. D．To provide hands-on science learning experiences. 26．(2.5分)What impressed the school counselors about the program? A．Its potential to generate school income. B．Its healing value for troubled students. C．Its improvement in academic performance. D．Its popularity among small animal lovers. 27．(2.5分)What does the arrival of the new chicks symbolize? A．The program’s financial success. B．The necessity of animal care. C．The advanced feeding techniques. D．The new round of learning experience. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了沃尔特·惠特曼初中通过养鸡项目让学生获得生活技能、学习科学知识并帮助问题学生平静情绪的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”.(Nealy小时候很怕鸡。现在，她放学后花几个小时收集鸡蛋，并为学校的五只母鸡打扫鸡舍。尽管她说自己从来都不是一个喜欢户外活动的人，但她也会给它们喂虫子。对她来说，鸡为她的课后生活提供了框架，使她对农业非常感兴趣。现在她无法想象没有鸡的成年生活。她说，当她长大后，她计划成为一名“养鸡的律师”。)”可知，从Maicy Nealy的故事中可以了解到她从害怕鸡到对鸡充满热情的转变。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology.(惠特曼的养鸡项目大约始于一年前，当时课后项目专家Lee Maguire计划了一个为期一个月的胚胎发育项目，让孩子们学习生物学。)”可知，Maguire最初引入养鸡项目是为了提供实践性的科学学习体验。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings.(鸡在校园里的平静存在是该项目的一个优势，学校的社会工作者和辅导员也很快注意到了这一点。他们有时会陪那些陷入困境的学生到鸡舍外面，帮助他们冷静下来或理清自己的情绪。)”可知，让学校辅导员印象深刻的是该项目对问题学生的治愈价值。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.”(“我买了更多的小鸡，”他说。“我又买了八只，我期待着进一步提高学生的学习兴趣。”)”可知，新小鸡的到来象征着新一轮的学习体验。故选D。 （本题10分）The English language is constantly evolving (演变), and there are a great number of words out there that don’t mean what they used to. We’re talking about common words that you use every day. We take them for granted, but at some point in history, their meanings totally changed, and they all originally (原始地) meant something much different. Generally speaking, the word “nice” is one with good meanings. However, back in the late 12th century, if someone said you were “nice”, it was far from nice. Way back then, “nice” was used to mean “foolish” and “stupid”. Later on in the 13th century, “nice” came to mean “shy”, and during the 14th century, it even meant “being careful”. But finally in the 18th century, it changed to the kinder definition we know today, and ever since then, people have been using it in a popular way. All of us get sad every now and then. It’s a normal part of life. A loved one passes away, we don’t get promoted at work, or your favorite toy is lost. These are all things that can make us very sad. However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different definition. Back in the 1300s, it was the perfect word if you’d eaten too much food at dinner. Through the years, the definition of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”, all before evolving into the word we use today. “Awful” is perhaps the one word on this list that should have stuck with its original meaning. While today it means “bad” or “terrible”, “awful” used to mean “awe-inspiring” or “full of awe”. In other words, if something was “awful”, then it was worthy of respect or even fear. However, over the years, “awful” has come to have a completely opposite meaning. 28．(2.5分)How many examples are given to support the topic of this text? A．3. B．4. C．5. D．6. 29．(2.5分)What did “nice” mean in the 14th century? A．Shy. B．Foolish. C．Being careful. D．Terrible. 30．(2.5分)If you’d eaten too much at dinner, which word did you use in the 14th century? A．Nice. B．Sad. C．Awful. D．Heavy. 31．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Words That Originally Meant Something Different B．Words with Opposite Meanings C．Languages Seldom Change in History D．Don’t Remember the Meanings of Words 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．B 31．A 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了英语词汇在不断演变，不少日常用词的古义与现在差别很大。文章依次介绍了nice、sad、awful 三个单词，讲述了它们词义历经多个阶段逐步变化的过程。 【详解】28．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提出主旨，随后第二段讲“nice”、第三段讲“sad”、第四段讲 “awful”，分别用三个独立段落举例说明单词词义的演变。全文仅列举了nice、sad、awful三个单词作为核心例证，支撑“很多英语单词的原始含义与现在截然不同”这一主题。没有提到其他单词，因此例子数量为3个。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Later on in the 13th century, “nice” came to mean “shy”, and during the 14th century, it even meant “being careful”.( 到了13世纪，“nice”逐渐演变为“害羞”的意思，而在14世纪，它甚至开始表示“小心谨慎”。)”可知，14世纪时，“nice”意思为“谨慎的”。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, once upon a time, “sad” had a very different definition. Back in the 1300s, it was the perfect word if you’d eaten too much food at dinner. Through the years, the definition of “sad” changed to “heavy” and then “tired”, all before evolving into the word we use today.( 然而，曾经，“sad”这个词有着完全不同的含义。在14世纪，如果你晚餐吃得太饱，说“sad”就是最恰当的表达。多年来，“悲伤”一词的含义逐渐演变为“沉重”，再后来变成“疲惫”，最终发展成我们今天所用的这个词。)”可推知，句中的“it 明确指代前文的“sad”，说明 14 世纪人们用“sad”来形容“吃得太饱” 的状态。 31．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“The English language is constantly evolving (演变), and there are a great number of words out there that don’t mean what they used to. We’re talking about common words that you use every day. We take them for granted, but at some point in history, their meanings totally changed, and they all originally (原始地) meant something much different.( 英语语言一直在不断演变，有许多词汇的含义已经与过去大不相同。我们所说的是一些你每天都会用到的常见词语。我们通常会理所当然地使用它们，但在历史的某个时期，它们的含义发生了彻底的变化，原本的意思完全不同。)”可知，文章主要介绍了英语词汇在不断演变，不少日常用词的古义与现在差别很大。文章依次介绍了 nice、sad、awful 三个单词，讲述了它们词义历经多个阶段逐步变化的过程。由此可知，这篇文章适合的标题是“原始含义截然不同的单词”。 （本题10分）It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 32．(2.5分)What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A．The importance of remembering important moments. B．The inconsistency between words and meaning. C．The necessity of indirect communication. D．The possibility of argument in a couple's life. 33．(2.5分)What may make human language different from true codes? A．The context included in understanding meanings. B．The definitions made by words in communication. C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 34．(2.5分)How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony? A．It uses fewer words to save time. B．It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings. C．It needs detailed explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 35．(2.5分)What does the author suggest in communication? A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally. C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones. 【答案】32．B 33．A 34．D 35．C 【导语】文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日！那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢？这两件事有关系吗？)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(沟通不仅仅是言语，还包括说话的方式、语调、顺序，甚至某个词语的选择)”可推知，第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言并非一种编码。真正的编码具有意义与声音之间的一一对应关系，即一个声音对应一个定义。这正是我们观察到动物行为时的情况。威尔逊和斯佩伯指出：“当发出者和接收者使用完全相同的编码时，编码式交流效果最佳。” 但人类的情况并非如此。我们的交流远超词语本身所表达的含义。这种交流属于推断性沟通，意味着我们不仅理解所说的话语，还理解其出现的语境)”可知，理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。 34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语就是一个绝佳的例子，展示了我们如何用寥寥数语就能强有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是表达相反的意思。例如，当玛丽在一场无聊的派对后说“那很有趣”，她既没有字面意思上表示派对很有趣，也没有“讽刺地”说明派对无聊。相反，她是在表达一种情绪。三个词取代了整段文字，充分展现了语言的高效性)”可知，玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思，从而说明了反语的特点。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯佩伯得出结论：人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大，是因为人类具备两种独特的能力：语言本身，以及解读他人心理状态的能力。我们会在听到的词语中寻找语境，并且应当非常擅长吸收这些语境以推断其含义)”可推知，作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思，也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。 （本题12.5分）Many people give up learning a foreign language because they hold some wrong ideas about it. These wrong beliefs prevent them from stepping out of their comfort zone and experiencing the joy of language learning. 36(2.5分) Language experts have summed up several common misunderstandings and explained the truth behind them. The first misunderstanding links language learning only to grammar and vocabulary. There is no doubt that grammar and vocabulary lay a solid foundation for language learning, yet language is essentially a tool for daily communication. When picking up a new language, we can get a chance to explore diverse histories, cultures and lifestyles. 37(2.5分) The second one holds that mistakes in language learning are embarrassing and should be avoided. Traditional classroom learning always stresses accuracy (精确度) above everything else. 38(2.5分) Even native speakers make errors in daily talks, and small mistakes will not prevent effective communication at all. So we should focus more on expressing ourselves rather than fearing mistakes. Thirdly, some people believe it is tough to learn one new language, let alone two. 39(2.5分) Actually, school-taught languages may not suit your life needs as an adult. So, choosing a language based on personal interest helps maintain motivation and persistence through learning difficulties. 40(2.5分) Group learning brings better progress and experience. You can join conversation groups, chat on online forums or learn together with your family members. Modern learning apps also make group study easy and enjoyable. With flexible learning schedules and clear goals, language learning can become a relaxing and rewarding experience. A．But things are quite different in real-life communication.

There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase was a golden ticket! John picked it up. His heart raced wildly when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck! The boys and girls in John’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize. Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! John looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Smith was engaged in grading the papers collected earlier in the morning. John decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would be most likely to be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping. He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “Finders are keepers, right?”, he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need this extra ticket for his great plan! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: John’s hand shook as he stared at the ticket. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Spotting the blank line, Miss Smith asked John what he was doing there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: John’s hand shook as he stared at the ticket. Memories flashed — his sister’s hopeful eyes when he promised the toy pig, the pride in his parents’ faces when he earned tickets through kindness. But this ticket felt different. He imagined Miss Smith’s disappointed gaze if she discovered his deceit. With a deep breath, he set the pencil down. “No,” he whispered, deciding to place the ticket where he’d found it. Just then, footsteps echoed through the hallway.Paragraph 2: Spotting the blank line, Miss Smith asked John what he was doing there. Not daring to look straight into her eyes, John said “I almost took a ticket that wasn’t mine.”, his neck growing hot under his collar. “Honesty is the best prize.” Instead of scolding, Miss Smith pressed the golden ticket into John’s palm. The sunlight filtered through the windows to cast golden patterns on the carpet like the ticket glowing in his palm. That evening, John placed the ticket into the box. He realized the sweetest rewards are not found in shortcuts. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。下课后，John在教室后部发现了一张空白名字的金色奖券，他本想写上自己名字增加中奖机会，但内心挣扎，因为奖券并非他所得，而是有人遗失的，但他又急需这张奖券来实现计划。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“约翰盯着奖券时手在颤抖。”可知，第一段描写John握着奖券时的心理斗争：回忆对妹妹的承诺与父母的期望，想象老师发现欺骗后的失望，最终决定放回奖券，此时走廊传来脚步声。 ②由第二段句首内容“史密斯小姐看到空白处，问约翰在那里做什么。”可知，第二段描写John向老师坦白，Miss Smith非但没责骂，反而将奖券交给他，John由此领悟到“诚实是最佳奖励”，明白捷径无法带来真正的收获。 2.续写线索：John 握券手抖——回忆与纠结——决定放回——老师发现——坦白真相——领悟诚实的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想象：imagine/picture/envision ②放下：set...down/put...down/place...down ③领悟：realize/understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①充满希望的：hopeful/expectant/anticipatory ②失望的：disappointed/despaired/dismayed 【点睛】【高分句型1】He imagined Miss Smith’s disappointed gaze if she discovered his deceit. (运用了if引导的条件状语从句) 【高分句型2】He realized the sweetest rewards are not found in shortcuts. (运用了省略连词that的宾语从句) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
