After I put it down, he said, plainly: “Now I will teach you how to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. Growing up in Singapore, I had an uneasy relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune. Chinese names can be truly poetic. Not mine. Embarrassingly, the characters for my Chinese name mean, roughly, “old,” “barley” and “warm.” My personal and cultural histories were messy knots. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expression. It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore’s high-pressure education system, and with it, perhaps, parts of my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to replicate (复制) the old masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing your own. Every week, my teacher would evaluate my writing. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke.” For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me. I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful—and that I could be the one to do that work. I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully. 24. What criterion guided the selection of the author’s Chinese name? A. Poetic sound patterns. B. Ideal symbolic images. C. Favorable stroke counts. D. Positive literal meanings. 25. Why did the author adopt an American accent? A. To break with tradition. B. To fit into the community. C. To achieve academic success. D. To facilitate language learning. 26. What have we learned about the author’s experience with calligraphy? A. It revealed her inner self. B. It improved her public image. C. It presented no challenge to her. D. It enhanced her replication skills. 27. What has the author learned from calligraphy? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. Our roots define our identity. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在书法练习的过程中，慢慢找到自我，认识自我，重塑自我概念。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune.(由于不熟悉汉字，他们让算命先生根据每个汉字的理想笔画数来决定我的名字，这是为最好的运气而计算的)”可知，作者的中文名是父母基于笔画的数量，取吉祥福气之意。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name.(突然间，我觉得有必要以一种美国人能接受的方式来展示自己。我带上了美国口音，把我的中国名字放在一边)”可知，作者说美国口音，隐藏自己的中文名，是为了融入美国的社会。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me.(多年来，我一直为自己塑造了一种融合和自信的形象而自豪，尽管内心充满了不安全感，但我的写作背叛了我)”和第五段“I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.(我一直在学习书法，试图与我的文化根源接触，但我真正寻求的是回归自我)”可推知，作者在书法练习中，重新找到了自我，认识自我，重塑自我概念。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots，but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.(我一直在学习书法，试图与我的文化根源接触，但我真正寻求的是回归自我)”可推知，作者本来是想通过书法练习找到自己的文化身份，却在这一过程中重新认识了自我，接纳了自我。故选B。 C A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections, especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated, intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation (发炎), such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold, caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. “We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” This study is the first to model repeated, intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. “Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times, so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising,” Engler-Chiurazzi said. “The effects were subtle, but that’s why I find these results meaningful: in a human, cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain.” The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition, she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. “The biggest takeaway from this research, in our opinion, is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible,” she said. 28. The researchers conduct the study in order to ________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function D. show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable 29. What can we learn about the study? A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 30. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. relieve. B. strengthen. C. promote. D. emphasize. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了杜兰大学的研究发现，频繁生病可能加速大脑老化并增加认知衰退风险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population(我们感兴趣的是，感染经历的差异是否能至少在一定程度上解释我们在人群中观察到的痴呆症发病率差异)”可知，研究人员开展研究是为了确认反复炎症是否会导致认知障碍。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe.(人类经历感染和炎症的频率通常远高于实验室小鼠。但鉴于仅经过五次间歇性炎症处理后，小鼠就出现了损伤，人类的认知变化可能会更严重。)”可知，研究表明，由于人类生病更频繁，所以可能遭受更严重的认知衰退。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第七段中“Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects.(恩格勒-基乌拉齐表示，未来需要开展更多研究，以了解感染为何会影响大脑，以及如何mitigate这些影响。)”可知，“those effects”指感染对大脑的不良影响，结合语境，此处研究的是如何“减轻”影响，“mitigate”意为“减轻”，与“relieve(缓解，减轻)”意思相近。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline.(杜兰大学的一项研究表明，频繁生病可能加速大脑老化，并增加患痴呆或认知衰退的风险。)”以及后文围绕该研究的对象、过程、结果及启示展开可知，文章主要介绍频繁生病与痴呆症之间的关联，D项“The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered.(频繁生病与痴呆症之间的联系已被发现)”最能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 D If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major players. By connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems(生态系统）, small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys. As the co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC, 美国青年农会）and a family farmer myself. I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry. For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer, Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow Money group. It enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California. Before the tool came out, small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms. But now, with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business. The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won't happen without fundamental changes to the industry. One crucial factor is secure access to land. Competition from investors, developers, and established large farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers. From 2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many regions. Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non-existent path to citizenship — the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own. With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering(多于）farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two-thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food. There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy, but farmers can't clumsily put them together before us. We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farms from all backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand with young farmers. 32. The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce . A. the progress made in car industry B. a special feature of agriculture C. a trend of development in agriculture D. the importance of investing in car industry 33. What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2? A. Loans to small local farmers are necessary. B. Technology is vital for agricultural development. C. Competition between small and big farms is fierce D. Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones. 34. What is the difficulty for those new farmers? A. To gain more financial aid. B. To hire good farm managers. C. To have farms of their own. D. To win old farmers’ support. 35. What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy? A. Seek support beyond NYFC. B. Expand farmland conservation. C. Become members of NYFC. D. Invest more to improve technology. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。文章作者作为全国青年农民联盟（NYFC）的联合创始人，分析了美国小农场的特点及目前美国小农场所面临的问题，督促国会对某些领域进行改革以支持美国国内小农场的发展 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一句话If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies.可知，一般人不可能影响到汽车工业，而根据第二句话的but 可知，农业和工业是不同的，接下来就介绍了农业不同于工业的地方，故B正确。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句It enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California.可以，推知新农具使小农场收获绿色蔬菜的效率提高，降低了收获成本，再根据最后一句But now, with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business.，小农场价格与大农场价格接近和小农场产品更新鲜的特点，这使得小农场相对于大农场有了一些相对的优势，故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句话Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non-existent path to citizenship — the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own.可知，新农民面临的最大挑战是无法获得公民身份，因此不能建设自己的农场，故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第二句We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farms from all backgrounds.可知，NYFC需要广泛的支持，包括要求国会增加农田保护，推动移民改革，寻求确保不同背景的新农民的成功的政策等，所以为了保证农业经济的可持续发展农民需要寻求NYFC以外的很多方面的支持。故选A。 点睛：根据事实细节，推断合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可能是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据，推论有理，忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。本题中的第二小题是推理判断题，即根据例子判断作者想要解释什么，根据原文根据文章第二段可知一位年轻的农民发明了一件新农具，再根据第二句It enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California.可以，推知新农具使小农场收获绿色蔬菜的效率提高，降低了收获成本，再根据最后一句，小农场价格与大农场价格接近和小农场产品更新鲜的特点，这使得小农场相对于大农场有了一些相对的优势，故选D。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题,共12.5分。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Also, make sure that the place you choose works with your preferred writing medium.(没有一个理想的工作空间适合每个作家。有些人喜欢安静的房间，而另一些人最好在咖啡馆工作。此外，确保你选择的地方适合你喜欢的写作媒介。)”可知，这里讲述的应是如何选择合适的写作场所，B项“Choose a workspace that works for you(选择一个适合你的工作场所)”符合题意。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据前文“If you want to write on a desktop, make sure to have a suitable desk nearby.(如果你想在桌面上写字，一定要在附近有一张合适的桌子。)”和后文“That’s because it’s easy to lose focus if your back aches.(这是因为如果你的背部疼痛，很容易失去注意力。)”可知，上文讲述了要选择桌子，下文讲述了背痛会让你失去注意力，由此可知，空处应补充讲述如何选择让背部舒适的座椅，G项“At the same time, remember to pick a supportive chair(同时，记得选择一把支撑椅)”符合题意。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据本段首句“Establish daily and weekly writing goals.(设定每日及每周的写作目标。)”和空前“Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines.(根据你的写作速度和任何特定的截止日期设定你的写作目标。)”可知，空处应总结前文，讲述设置完目标后就不要轻易更改，D项“And try not to change it after you’ve set it(设置后尽量不要更改它)”符合题意。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据前文“It is likely that you’ll go through many rounds of feedback and revisions before your book is published.(在你的书出版之前，你很可能会经历多轮的反馈和修订。)”和空后的“it’s all part of the process of writing the best book you can!(这是你尽力写最好的书的过程的一部分！)”可知，在出书之前会有多次反馈和修订，这是打磨作品必经之路，所以空处应是说在这种情况下不要泄气，A项“Don’t get discouraged(不要气馁)”符合题意。故选A。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题,共15分。 A father and his daughter were rescued from the ocean after falling overboard from a Disney Cruise Line ship on Sunday afternoon, leading to praise for the ship’s crew and ___41___ among passengers who witnessed it.

Major Heat (Dashu), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 6. During Major Heat, most parts of China enter the ___56___ (hot) season of the year. In China, the 24 solar terms ___57___ (create) thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But solar term culture ___58___ (be) still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips. During Major Heat, the sunshine, high temperatures ___59___ heavy rainfalls are good for agricultural crops. But like Minor Heat (Xiaoshu), many natural disasters such as floods, ___60___ (drought) and typhoons also happen during Major Heat. Therefore, it’s important to harvest and plant in time ___61___ (avoid) damage caused by natural disasters. Grass jelly, Xiancaodong in Chinese, is made with a special grass ___62___ stems (茎) and leaves can be made into herb jelly after being dried in ___63___ sun. With the ___64___ (amaze) ability to reduce the summer heat, grass jelly is described in a ____65____ (popularly) saying in Guangdong province that goes, “Eating herb jelly in Major Heat will make you stay young like the immortals (神仙).” 【答案】56. hottest 57. were created 58. is 59. and 60. droughts 61. to avoid 62. whose 63. the 64. amazing 65. popular 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气大暑的气候特点、文化意义以及与之相关的传统习俗和健康小贴士。 【56题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：在大暑期间，中国大部分地区进入一年中最热的季节。根据空格前的the可知，此处用the+形容词最高级，表示在某个范围内“最……的”意思，再根据提示词可知，这里指的是一年中最热的季节。故填hottest。 【57题详解】 考查动词的时态与语态。句意：在中国，24节气是几千年前为指导农业生产而创造的。分析句子结构可知，the 24 solar terms与create之间存在被动关系，且根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知，此处需要使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were created。 【58题详解】 考查动词的时态与主谓一致。句意：但节气文化今天仍然有用，通过特殊的食物，文化仪式，甚至健康的生活技巧来指导人们的生活。分析句子结构可知，solar term culture是本句的主语，故谓语动词用be动词的单数形式，且根据today可知，此处需要使用一般现在时。故填is。 【59题详解】 考查连词。句意：大暑时节阳光充足、高温和大量降雨有益于农作物的生长。根据句意可知，空格前后是并列关系，所以此处用and连接两个并列的事物。故填and。 【60题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：但就像小暑一样，许多自然灾害，如洪水、干旱和台风也会在大暑期间发生。根据前面的many natural disasters such as floods可知，此处需要填入复数形式，又因为drought是可数名词，所以用名词复数形式。故填droughts。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，为了避免自然灾害造成的破坏，及时收获和种植非常重要。分析句子结构可知，此处不定式作目的状语，表示及时收获和种植的目的是“避免”自然灾害造成的损失。故填to avoid。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：草粿，中文里也叫仙草冻，是由一种特殊的草制成的，这种草的茎和叶在晒干后可以做成草本果冻。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，修饰a special grass，由于定语从句中缺少定语，所以用关系代词whose来引导。故填whose。 【63题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：同上。由于sun是世界上独一无二的事物，所以用定冠词the。故填the。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于草粿具有惊人的消暑能力，在广东省有一句流行的说法：“大暑吃仙草，活如神仙不会老。”分析句子成分可知，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词ability，因为ability指物，所以用形容词amazing表示草本果冻的这种能力是“令人惊叹的”。故填amazing。 【65题详解】 考查词形转换。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词saying，所以此处用提示词的形容词形式popular表示一个“流行的”谚语。故填popular。 六、书面表达：本大题共2小题,共40分。 66. 在中国传统文化中，“勤俭持家”、“尊老爱幼”、“诚实守信”等家风(family traditions)对于构建和谐家庭，营造文明社会起到了至关重要的作用。假设你经常浏览的某个英语论坛正在进行主题为“What kind of family tradition do we need most? ”的讨论。请你用英语写一篇短文参与讨论，主要内容如下： 1. 家风的重要性；2. 选择你认为最重要的一条家风并说明理由(至少两个)。 注意：1.词数100左右。2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考词汇：勤俭持家：diligence and thrift 孝敬父母：filial piety towards parents ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In traditional Chinese culture, family traditions play a vital role in building harmonious families and a civilized society.

Firstly, respecting and taking good care of parents is not only a moral obligation but also a way to express our gratitude for their love and sacrifice. Secondly, setting an example of filial piety helps children understand the importance of family values, which will contribute to creating a loving and respectful family atmosphere. When everyone in the family practices filial piety, it not only strengthens family bonds but also promotes social harmony, because such positive energy will spread to the whole society. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以主题为“What kind of family tradition do we need most? ”文章进行投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 在……起作用：play a role in→play part in 重要的：vital→crucial 照顾：take care of→look after 表达：express→convey 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Firstly, respecting and taking good care of parents is not only a moral obligation but also a way to express our gratitude for their love and sacrifice. 拓展句：Firstly, not only is respecting and taking good care of parents a moral obligation, but it is also a way to express our gratitude for their love and sacrifice. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Secondly, setting an example of filial piety helps children understand the importance of family values, which will contribute to creating a loving and respectful family atmosphere.（运用了which引导的非限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When everyone in the family practices filial piety, it not only strengthens family bonds but also promotes social harmony, because such positive energy will spread to the whole society.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，because引导的原因状语从句） 67. 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。 On a sunny early spring morning, Anna, together with her grandchildren Julie, Fred and Erik, was playing happily in the backyard. While playing, Anna said to the kids, “I am going to plant something in the garden. Who would like to help me?” “What are you going to plant, Grandma?” asked Julie. “I like pleasant, bright-colored roses.” “But I like lively, big, yellow sunflowers!” said Fred. “Well, I’m going to plant some vegetables so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat when they are ready,” said Anna. “How long does that take?” asked Erik. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially tomatoes. “It will take several months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Anna. The kids were surprised. “Several months? Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long?” asked Julie. “Why not just go to the store and buy them?” “Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself?” replied Anna. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.” “I’ll help you, Grandma,” offered Erik. He put down the basketball and went to look at the gardening tools Anna had laid out. “What should we do first?” Fred and Julie came over to have a look, too. Firstly, Anna taught Erik how to use a travel (小铲子) to dig rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she showed Julie how to pour the seeds into each hole carefully. And then it was Fred’s job to cover up the holes with soil little by little. Finally, Julie wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Erik pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Anna. After planting everything, the kids took turns in filling up the watering pot so that Anna could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow. “From now on, we just water them a little each day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Anna. 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。 Every time the kids came to visit, they would rush into the garden as fast as possible. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Every time the kids came to visit, they would dash into the garden as fast as possible. Not surprisingly, they were going to see how the garden was growing. After watering the vegetables, they would remove the weeds that popped up around the plants and apply organic fertilizer under Nana’s instruction if necessary. As time went by, the plants were growing taller and stronger. When they noticed the vegetables flowering and producing fruits, their eyes were sparkling like diamonds. Never had they looked forward to summer like this before. But they clearly knew that it’s worthwhile to wait for the inviting results. Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.” Hearing that, the children all jumped into the air and cheers filled the whole garden. Nana gave them each baskets and, together they gathered some of the cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes, which we’re turned into delicacies. “Who wants to help eat this fresh salad?” Nana asked. “Me!” everyone responded loudly. Tasting the salad, they thought nothing could be more delicious, because it was they who grew these vegetables. They all learned that many hands make light work and patience really pays off. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在一个阳光明媚的早春早晨，安娜和她的孙子朱莉、弗雷德和埃里克在后院快乐地玩耍。他们决定种植一些蔬菜，并且耐心照顾这些蔬菜，最后获得了丰收。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“每次孩子们来拜访，他们都会尽可能快地冲进花园。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们照顾蔬菜的经过以及期待夏天到来。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，安娜说：‘到了第一次收获的时候了。’”可知，第二段可描写孩子们收获时的表现以及感悟。 2.续写线索：孩子们冲进花园——照顾蔬菜——期待结果——收获——欢呼高兴——孩子们感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①查看：see/examine ②去除：remove/wipe out ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①值得：worthwhile/worthy ②清楚：clearly/ fully aware of 【点睛】[高分句型1] After watering the vegetables, they would remove the weeds that popped up around the plants and apply organic fertilizer under Nana’s instruction if necessary.

After I put it down, he said, plainly: “Now I will teach you how to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. Growing up in Singapore, I had an uneasy relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune. Chinese names can be truly poetic. Not mine. Embarrassingly, the characters for my Chinese name mean, roughly, “old,” “barley” and “warm.” My personal and cultural histories were messy knots. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expression. It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore’s high-pressure education system, and with it, perhaps, parts of my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to replicate (复制) the old masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing your own. Every week, my teacher would evaluate my writing. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke.” For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me. I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful—and that I could be the one to do that work. I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully. 24. What criterion guided the selection of the author’s Chinese name? A. Poetic sound patterns. B. Ideal symbolic images. C. Favorable stroke counts. D. Positive literal meanings. 25. Why did the author adopt an American accent? A. To break with tradition. B. To fit into the community. C. To achieve academic success. D. To facilitate language learning. 26. What have we learned about the author’s experience with calligraphy? A. It revealed her inner self. B. It improved her public image. C. It presented no challenge to her. D. It enhanced her replication skills. 27. What has the author learned from calligraphy? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. Our roots define our identity. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. C A study by Tulane University reveals that frequent illness may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of dementia (痴呆) or cognitive decline. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining good health to prevent infections, especially among the elderly and dementia-prone individuals. The study examined aging male mice and found that repeated, intermittent experiences with moderate inflammation (发炎), such as that caused by the flu or a seasonal head cold, caused impaired cognition and disrupted communication between neurons in those mice. “We were interested in asking whether differences in infection experience could account, at least in part, for the differences in rates of dementia we see in the population,” said lead author Elizabeth Engler-Chiurazzi, PhD. “The mice we were studying were healthy adults approaching middle age, and yet, when exposed to intermittent inflammation, they remembered less and their neurons functioned more poorly.” This study is the first to model repeated, intermittent infections in mice and examine the long-term consequences for brain function and health. Humans often experience infections and inflammation at substantially higher rates than laboratory mice. But given that impairments were observed in mice after only five intermittent inflammatory treatments, the cognitive change in humans may be more severe. “Our mice only experienced intermittent sickness-like inflammation a handful of times, so the fact that we observed impairments at all was surprising,” Engler-Chiurazzi said. “The effects were subtle, but that’s why I find these results meaningful: in a human, cognitive impairments from a similar number of inflammatory experiences might not be noticeable in their daily lives but could have accumulative effects that negatively impact the aging brain.” The findings may have important implications for standard of care around how infections are handled among the elderly and those at risk for dementia. Going forward, Engler-Chiurazzi said more work needs to be done to understand why infections impact the brain and how to mitigate those effects. In addition, she hopes follow-up studies will investigate whether weaker populations face a higher burden of neurological effects. “The biggest takeaway from this research, in our opinion, is the importance of staying as healthy and infection-free as possible,” she said. 28. The researchers conduct the study in order to ________. A. highlight the frequent illness is harmless to human beings B. identify whether the repeated inflammation will cause impaired cognition C. explain the adult male mice are more likely to have impaired cognitive function D. show cognitive impairments from a few inflammatory experiences is not noticeable 29. What can we learn about the study? A. The brains of these mice were unaffected by the disease. B. The infections have little effect on impacting the aging brain. C. Humans will suffer even more severe cognitive decline because of the frequent illness. D. Researchers used to examine the effects of repeated infections on brain function and health. 30. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 7 mean? A. relieve. B. strengthen. C. promote. D. emphasize. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The standard of care has been revealed. B. Mice will suffer from impaired cognition by flu. C. We human beings should stay as healthy and infection-free as possible. D. The connection between frequent illness and dementia has been discovered. D If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major players. By connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems(生态系统）, small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys. As the co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC, 美国青年农会）and a family farmer myself. I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry. For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer, Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow Money group. It enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California. Before the tool came out, small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms. But now, with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business. The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won't happen without fundamental changes to the industry. One crucial factor is secure access to land. Competition from investors, developers, and established large farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers. From 2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many regions. Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non-existent path to citizenship — the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own. With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering(多于）farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two-thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food. There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy, but farmers can't clumsily put them together before us. We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farms from all backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand with young farmers. 32. The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce . A. the progress made in car industry B. a special feature of agriculture C. a trend of development in agriculture D. the importance of investing in car industry 33. What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2? A. Loans to small local farmers are necessary. B. Technology is vital for agricultural development. C. Competition between small and big farms is fierce D. Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones. 34. What is the difficulty for those new farmers? A. To gain more financial aid. B. To hire good farm managers. C. To have farms of their own. D. To win old farmers’ support. 35. What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy? A. Seek support beyond NYFC. B. Expand farmland conservation. C. Become members of NYFC. D. Invest more to improve technology. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题,共12.5分。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

While playing, Anna said to the kids, “I am going to plant something in the garden. Who would like to help me?” “What are you going to plant, Grandma?” asked Julie. “I like pleasant, bright-colored roses.” “But I like lively, big, yellow sunflowers!” said Fred. “Well, I’m going to plant some vegetables so that we can have fresh vegetables to eat when they are ready,” said Anna. “How long does that take?” asked Erik. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially tomatoes. “It will take several months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Anna. The kids were surprised. “Several months? Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long?” asked Julie. “Why not just go to the store and buy them?” “Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself?” replied Anna. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.” “I’ll help you, Grandma,” offered Erik. He put down the basketball and went to look at the gardening tools Anna had laid out. “What should we do first?” Fred and Julie came over to have a look, too. Firstly, Anna taught Erik how to use a travel (小铲子) to dig rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she showed Julie how to pour the seeds into each hole carefully. And then it was Fred’s job to cover up the holes with soil little by little. Finally, Julie wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Erik pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Anna. After planting everything, the kids took turns in filling up the watering pot so that Anna could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow. “From now on, we just water them a little each day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Anna. 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。 Every time the kids came to visit, they would rush into the garden as fast as possible. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eventually, Anna said, “It was about time for the first harvest.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to sky news for the weather forecast over the weekend. I am Joanna Robinson. IT has always been dry and Sunny over the past week days. The next two days will bring some rain. That rain will clear across northern and central britain overnight, leaving most places dry, but northwest scotland will stay wet for saturday. Ireland, northern ireland, whales, central and southern england looked dry in the morning with almost unbroken sunshine by lunchtime. Elsewhere, there will be more clouds, especially across northern and western scotland, where there will be some rain. IT will get warmer than friday, but still on the cool side in the northwest, IT will be breezy for most of england too. The afternoon will see rain over scotland turning increasingly showing, allowing more of northern britain to brighten up. Sunday will be mainly fine and warm, but heavy. Perhaps thunder showers will move into the south from the evening, they will spread further north across england. And whales on sunday, temperatures are likely to be in the low twenties by day, with some chilly nights in places. I SAT up all night in a line yesterday, but I made IT. I got two good tickets to the zero point rock concert. I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. I don't like. Their music is too noisy and boring. Now, if you had tickets for an Opera, I would like to join you. I've never seen an Opera. I've always thought they're too difficult to understand. Opera isn't hard to follow. The stories are usually simple, so you don't need to know the lines. Besides, you can read the story of the play beforehand, and it's the singing that I like. But all there is that rock concerts is noise and flashing lights. But rock concerts are exciting. Opera seems slow. sure. I should see one sometime OK. I'll make a deal with you. Come to the zero point rock concert with me, and then i'll go to an Opera with you. okay? It's a deal. The taxi will be here any minute. Are you ready? I can't find my jacket. I'm pretty sure I left IT in the kitchen. Did you take that? I did see IT in the kitchen, but that was this morning. I haven't seen IT since you got back from work. Maybe you left IT in the car. What do you need IT for anyway? We're going to be late. I printed the tickets at work and put them in my pocket. Don't worry, I have them in my email. We don't need to print those things anymore. They can scan IT straight from the phone screen. By the way, I just got a text saying the taxi is downstairs. Let's go. Okay, you go ahead. I'll have a look in the car just in case at least I won't spend the whole play wondering . where my jacket is. Sure, but don't take too long. Mark and via are waiting for us.
