Paragraph 2: Things began to change in ny study and life.From that day on,I stayed after class with my questions,and problems slowly began to make sense.On exam day,I took a deep breath and simply did my best.A week later,I scanned my paper anxiously-my eyes widened in disbelief: an A!I ran to Mr Hale's office,where he greeted me with a thumbs-up and that familiar smile,the golden sunlight pouring in,lighting up my path ahead."I can't"quietly became"I can." 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在初中时对数学 的厌恶，但在高中遇到了一位名叫Mr Hale的数学老师。Mr Hale的热情教学态度和积极鼓 励让作者开始期待数学课，尽管对数学本身仍然有抵触。然而，面对数学的难度和压力，作 者感到力不从心，尤其在期中考试前感到恐惧和自我怀疑。一天放学后，Mr Hale注意到作 者的困扰，他的关心和帮助让作者有了分享自己问题的勇气和方法。这个故事主要展现了师 生之间的情感互动和如何克服自我怀疑的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但是在他善良的眼睛里，有一些东西让我敞开心扉。”可知，第一 段可描写作者倾诉了自己的困扰，以及数学老师Mr Hale对作者的鼓励和帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的学习和生活似乎发生了一些不同的事情。”可知，第二段可描 写第二段可描写作者在老师的鼓励下，如何调整学习方法，最终取得进步，以及考试后的心 情。 2.续写线索：倾诉困扰—老师鼓励—调整方法一考试进步—分享喜悦—心情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①诉说：poured out/expressed/confided/shared ②努力工作：working/laboring/tolling/striving ③取得进展：making progress/advancing/progressing/achieving 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustrations/disappointments/setbacks/letdowns ②害怕：afraid/fearful/terrified/scared 【点睛】[高分句型l].Tears welled up in my eyes as I admitted that I was afraid of failing the exams.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和hat引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2].Instead,he shared his own experiences as a high school student and the challenges he faced during his final year.(运用了省略了关系词that/which的定语从句) 附录 听力原文 Text 1 W:Good evening,sir.Here is the menu.Would you like to order now?

Arches National Park You'll be comfortable while exploring the park's 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you're willing to risk a cold front,you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May,all park visitors will need a reservation to enter-a small price to pay for perfect weather and the chance to see desert flowers come out. 21.What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A.There are fewer crowds. B.More tourist sites are available. C.There is still snow to enjoy. D.Tourists will feel more secure. 22.Which destination is suitable for animal lovers?

In the camp,a small room was filled with energy as the kids chatted and chewed on snacks. Some grandmas were around and watched,content to just be around the youngsters.Hagigah Abdul Rahim,one of the grandmas serving as the instructor for sewing,said many kids don't learn these skills at school,so they're filling in a gap.She stood in front of the room at the start of the activity,holding up various tools and explaining what they were.Rahim also didn't get to spend a lot of time with her grandchildren because they didn't live close."It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,"Rahim said. The summer camp was held in partnership with the Golden Connections Club,started by 14-year-old high school student Leena Albinali.She lived with her grandma but realized other students didn't have the same opportunity to spend as much time with their grandparents.She also learned about ageism(年龄歧视)and other challenges faced by senior adults in one of her classes.. "They treat us like we're their grandchildren,"Albinali said."We share what we know about artificial intelligence and its impact on our lives,while the elders share their life stories and advice.

Years ago,sitting in an airport bar,I noticed a man scrolling through his phone as a robotic voice read every word aloud at high speed.At first,I thought it was meaningless.Then I realized he was blind and was using the phone's read-aloud feature.While I was watching him 一 absorbed in the words,taking in their meaning -it struck me that he was reading the same way I did with my eyes.However,for someone like me with a reading disorder,reading has never been easy.Later,I tried the same function on my phone.That's the first time when I could effortlessly absorb ideas and focus in a way I hadn't before. Reading builds understanding,focus and critical thinking.However,there has been a drop of more than 40%in daily reading for pleasure in America over the past two decades.Meanwhile, listening to books is on the rise.Audiobook sales reached about $2.2 billion last year nationwide. In libraries,people borrowed 65%more audiobooks in the last five years,while print books and e-books stayed the same.So audio,not e-books,is now making the market grow.Maybe it is time to stop thinking audiobooks are"not real reading and start asking what reading really is The brains of people reading or listening to the same stories actually process meaning in almost the same way.Casual or distracted listening,like play ing an audiobook while doing chores. doesn't appear to engage people fully.But attentive listening can be as beneficial as print reading -even better for those with reading disabilities. Tens of millions of people now listen as they follow the text.Whether we read by eye,by ear or by both,it all counts.What matters is that the words get in,the brain makes meaning and the identity of being a reader takes hold.We need more readers,however they get there. 28.What changed the author's attitude towards listening to books? A.His reading disorder. B.His passion for audiobooks. C.Anew phone function D.A blind man's way of reading. 29.How does the author argue for recognizing audio-books? A.By listing their wide usage. B.By highlighting their benefits. C.By comparing relevant data D.By praising audio-book sales. 30.What does attentive listening bring according to paragraph 4? A.A guaranteed growth in understanding B.The best meaning-processing way. C.A likely cure for reading disabilities. D.The same effect as print reading. 31.What does the author indicate about reading in the last paragraph? A.All roads lead to Rome. B.It's never too late to learn. C.Practice makes perfect. D.Actions speak louder than words. 英语试卷第5页（共10页） D A machine can now not only beat you at chess,it can also outperform you in debate.Last week,in a public debate in San Francisco,a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents,including Noa Ovadia,Israel's former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is,Project Debater has some weaknesses.It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together.This can lead to the kinds of mistakes no human would make.Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out,yet they also point to a vital problem.As Kristian Hammond,professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University,put it:"There's never a stage at which the system knows what it's talking about..” What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning,and meaning is central to what makes the least intelligent of humans different from the most intelligent of machines.A computer works with symbols.Its program specifies(明确规定)a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another.But it does not specify what those symbols mean.Indeed,to a computer, meaning doesn't matter.Humans,in thinking,talking,reading and writing,also work with symbols.But for humans,meaning is everything.When we communicate,we communicate meaning.What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols,but the inside too,not just how they are arranged but what they mean. The rules that decide meaning lie not just inside our heads,but also outside,in society -in social memory,norms,and relationships.It is this that tells humans and machines apart.And that's why,however shocking Project Debater may seem,the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 32.Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph? A.To explain the use of a software program. B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D.To emphasize the fairness of the competition. 33.What does the underlined word"wrinkles"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Arguments. B.Doubts. C.Differences. D.Errors. 34.What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond? A.Create rules. B.Identify words. C.Process symbols. D.Grasp meaning. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Birth of a Debate Program B.The Limits of Thinking Machines C.The End of an Old Tradition D.The Wisdom of Ancient Philosophers 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 英语试卷第6页（共10页） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Influential people have a great impact on everyone they encounter.Yet,they achieve this only because they exercise so much influence from inside on themselves.Their focused pursuit of excellence is driven by five habits that you can follow and absorb until your influence expands. They think for themselves. Influential people aren't affected by the latest trend or public opinion.36They're more than willing to change their mind according to facts,but they aren't influenced by what other people think,only by what they know. They welcome disagreement. Influential people do not react emotionally to different opinions.37 They're humble enough to know that they don't know everything and that someone else might see something they missed.And if that person is right,they accept the idea wholeheartedly because they care more about the result than being right. They are proactive(主动的). Influential people don't wait for things like new ideas and new technologies to find them; they seek those things out.38 They thus become pioneers,taking charge of what comes next.They see what's coming because they intentionally look for it. They respond rather than react. If someone criticizes an influential person for making a mistake,or if someone else makes a mistake,influential people don't react immediately and emotionally.They wait.They think. 39 Influential people know how important relationships are,and they won't let an emotional overreaction harm theirs. They believe. _40 They believe in their power to achieve their dreams,and they believe others share that same power.They believe that nothing is out of reach. A.Instead,they welcome them. B.And then they deliver a proper response. C.Influential people always expect the best. D.They keep their eyes fixed on future possibilities. E.They form their opinions carefully,based on the facts. F.They never believe that one person can change the world. G.They fight back against these critics as hard as they could. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 英语试卷第7页（共10页） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to be an angry person.I'm now talkative and 41,but for nearly 20 years I lived with a quiet anger.

However,I was soon to learn that"I can't"'was not a choice in Mr Hale's class. Every morning,Mr Hale welcomed us at the door with a big smile:"Good morning!Smile! It's a great day to be alive!"If he was ever having a bad day,he never showed it that smile was the same every single day.He encouraged each of us,from the top achiever to the"I can't" student.And he was always there after class,ready to answer any question,big or small.It was clear that he had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. Gradually,I found myself looking forward to math class.Being around Mr Hale made me feel good,as if success were finally possible,even though I still didn't like the subject itself. Encouraged by him,I spent countless hours studying.But there were so many difficulties to overcome that I soon felt overwhelmed.No matter how hard I tried,I just couldn't keep up.As the mid-term exams approached,my nervousness grew.The fear of failure came back,and I began to doubt myself again. One day after school,I was walking beside Mr Hale on the empty playground.He could tell that something was bothering me,and asked if everything was all right.I hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to share my struggles. 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。 But somthing in his kind eyes made me open up. Things began to change in my study and life. 英语试卷第10页（共10页）
