For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Frugality (节俭) Is Back in Fashion“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of sage advice from Warren Buffet, arguably 21 of the greatest financial minds of the 21st century. Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart, especially in the present economic climate.While the idea of being frugal has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing 22 (lead) to increased consumerism for many across thecountry. Not only are businesses today offering a more diverse range of products, but internet algorithms are also matching our shopping patterns to big data sets —both of 23 are meant to tempt people into buying more stuff than they need. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, 24 (force) people to reevaluate their priorities whilespending money. It is no wonder that being thrifty is once again being a dominant trend 25 young people.Despite the annoyances 26 (cause) by algorithms, the internet is flooded with advice on where one 27 save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health and wellbeing, while limiting those that are fancy but not entirely necessary.Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point 28 the resources on this planet are indeed limited. A continuous growth model is by no mea ns sustainable. As a matter of fact, we already use about 1.8 Earth’s worth of renewable resources every year. 29 every one of us decided to consume as much as theaverage American does, we would be using more than four Earth’s worth of renewable r esources annually. As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also beneficial to the planet in the long run.If you have ever chosen to starve yourself 30 (get) a pair of limitededition sneakers, it is high time that you started making changes for the sake of yourself and for all humanity. Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Are you listening? But are you really listening?You’d think we’d be very good at listening, but do we British Council has launched a project Crossing Divides aimed to train young people to listen and understand other people with very different perspectives.Practicing deep listening means tuning into empathy(同理心), resisting the 32 to judge people who are distinct from oneself. It develops important skills that will make anyone a better listener: empathy, silence and being aware of our 33 .The project was 34 in Lebanon, where it helped local people find mon ground with each other, in a society divided by bitter years of conflict. People taking part in the project said they felt that they were being heard, helping them to feel recognized and understood, which opened munication between munities. All the participants greatly improved their listening skills, which proved 35 in their working and personal lives.They have also had a chance to be listened to and heard, which research shows can improve 36 . This is because we all feel accepted, valued and more 37 to others when we sense that we are being truly listened to, and the person listening to us doesn’t have to agree with us for those benefits to be enjoyed.The project is also an opportunity for participants to feel the benefit of stepping outside their own “echo chamber (回声室)”. Echo chambers are created by our natural tendency to seek out people and opinion s, in person and online, that we agree with, so we mainly see and hear information and opinions that 38 to our own. Not surprisingly this leads us to think our views are definitively correct, so we bee 39 or even angry when we encounter perspec tives that our worldview suggests arc wrong, because they don’t agree with our own echo chamber.So, training young people with deep listening skills can encourage many more people to take part in challenging and 40 conversations. Scott McDonald, t he organization’s CEO said: “The deep listening training gets to the heart of what we do by providing opportunities for people to step out of their echo chambers, to cross divides, and build trust and understanding.”III.Reading prehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.

However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same daytoday threats to our existence, selfawareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose selfdelusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with selfesteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities —from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least petent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal selfawareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external selfawareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that selfexamination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible. 63.The first three paragraphs mainly talk about _______.A .the significance of selfawareness in human survival and advancementB .the sharp contrast between selfawareness of today and the pastC .the necessity of a shift in selfawareness to satisfy the needs todayD .the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors A .People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.B .petent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.C .It’s difficul t to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.D .Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play. 65.Which of the following is an example of external selfawareness?A .You listen to the ments about you from others.B .You are fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses.C .You reflect your behaviors thoroughly every day.D .You carefully pare your behavior with that of others. 66.In the last paragraph, the author suggests that we should _______.A .develop true insight to judge people more objectivelyB .try to avoid the trap set by othersC .gain more insight by means of selfexaminationD .pay more attention to external selfawarenessSection CDirections: plete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Huizhou Architecture es to LifeHuizhou has a long history. When successful Huizhou businessmen got old,they often went back to their hometown and built houses to spend their remaining years. 67 Now, walking along the bluestone streets there,visitors can appreciate the distinctive Huizhoustyle houses,featuring white walls,dark tiles (瓦片)and layered horsehead roofs, and feel like they are lost in a traditional Chinese ink painting.Huizhou architecture, with its long tradition and great diversity, occupies an important place in Chinese architectural landscape, says Zhang Wangnan, director of the China Huizhou Culture Museum in Huangshan. Huizhou houses tend to be built on the natural places, since Huizhou is a mountainous area with few flat areas of land, according to Zhang. Moreover, daylight is valued in Huizhou houses, reflected in the building of open interior courtyards, allowing sunshine to enter the rooms. “Huizhou businessmen al so believed that water symbolizes wealth. 68 It stands for keeping windfall profits,” says Zhang.Huizhou is famous for its stone, wood and brick carvings, which are widely used to decorate local houses. “69 In this way,they integrate their aesthetic (审美) values and emotions into the buildings,making them more beautiftul and educating their children through the meanings contained in the patterns,” says Zhang.70 “If you look at the outside of a Huizhou house, it seems simple, enclos ed by walls, but the insides are open and broad, with plicated decorations. It is just like Huizhou people, who are often reserved toward strangers but friendly when you get to know them.” says Zhang. He also says that Ming houses differ from those of the QingDynasty in many aspects, for example, having fewer horsehead roofs and less plicated carvings.A.When it rains, water falling on the roof soon flows to the courtyard.B.Many of their houses are wellpreserved today, especially in Xidi and Hongcun.C.To talk about Huizhou culture, we must first understand Huizhou.D.People carved beautiful patterns and historical stories on the walls, windows and wooden posts of their houses.E.Features of Huizhou houses display the characteristics of local people.F.Huizhou people have established many schools in the field of culture.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71Why you’re more creative in coffee shopsSome of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops. Pablo Picasso, JK Rowling, Bob Dylan –whether they’re painters, writers or singersongwriters, people across nations and centurie s have tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a café.There are many ways coffee shops activate our creativity in a way offices and homes don’t. Some of us stick in our earbuds as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. But a 2012 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research showed that a lowtomoderate level of relaxing noise on all sides in a place like a cafeteria can actually increase your creative output. The idea is that if you’re very slightly distracted from the task at hand by background noise, it enhances your abstract thinking ability, which can lead to more creative idea generation.Another study from 2019 had similar findings, that is, the right amount of noise benefits our senses. And audio stimuli in the background also help us improve decision making.There’s also the fact that in a coffee shop, we’re surrounded by people who’ve e to do the same thing as us, which acts as a motivator. A 2016 study backed up this idea when researchers asked participants sitting next to each other in front of a puter to do a task on the same screen. The study showed that “simply performing a task ne xt to a person who makes a lot of effort in a task will make you do the same”. One of the biggest things about coffee shops is the socialfacilitation effect: you go there, you see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well.____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。

I was so embarrassed that I could not look at anyone as I walked by them on my way to school after that incident happened, feeling like it was my fault entirely for not walking fast enough to get out of the way of this person who was honking his horn at us for taking up part of "his" road space in what he considered an unsafe manner (not walking in the crosswalk).

Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment.One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago.The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local.Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention—a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth...As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied(=showed). I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family.... The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tea rs, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward—to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy?A. Shortage of adequate funds.B. Discomfort in dietary habits.C. Overstatement of travel’s effects.D. Danger of petting baby animals.5. What drove the author to go to Athens?A. Meeting a commitment.B. Exploring a unique landscape.C. Receiving further education.D. Escaping from the current life.6. What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to?A. Poems written by masters.B. Peace and simplicity.C. Spirit of craftsmanship.D. Special sound in the street.7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. Friendship Lasts ForeverB. Travelling Shapes a Better SelfC. Pursuit of Happiness Never StopsD. The Ordinary Makes ExtraordinaryCIn 2022, the Nature Conservancy launched two 5-year pilot projects at working ranches (牧场) in Kansas and New Mexico to determine if virtual fences enable land managers to better perform regenerative(再生的) management practices and to assess potential benefits for biodiversity and for ranchers(牧场主)’ bottom lines, as well as impacts on soil carbon storage.Applauded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as a climate adaption strategy, virtual fencing is an innovative technology that enables ranchers to use a smartphone or web app to remotely monitor and control where and when cattle graze (吃草). Virtual fences can reduce the need for physical fences, which require significant time, expense and labor to maintain. Physical fences also limit land managers in their ability to change grazing boundaries to adapt to seasonal changes in vegetation or to exclude cattle from ecologically sensitive areas.The cows are outfitted(=equipped)with battery-operated, GPS-enabled collars that send out a radio frequency to communicate with reception towers, creating virtual grazing boundaries set by a rancher. When a cow approaches the edge of the virtual boundary, the collar produces a sound signaling it to turn around. If the cow proceeds to cross the boundary, it receives a momentary mild shock, signaling that it’s gone too far and should rejoin its group.Grasslands are the least protected habitat on earth and one of the most effective carbon sinks, storing up to 20% of the world’s soil organic carbon. Unfortunately, grasslands are continuing to rapidly disappear for several reasons. For ecological health, most grassland ecosystems need periods of disturbance to aerate (使透气) the soil, stimulate plant growth and recycle nutrients into the soil. Ranchers complete this disturbance-rest cycle by managing the timing, location, herd size and intensity of grazing activities, all of which can be time-consuming and painstaking.“Currently, the costs of virtual fencing are still high, but in the long run it can help land managers better carry out management practices that regenerate land health, help address climate change and biodiversity loss,” said William Burnidge, director of the Nature Conservancy.8. What’s stressed concerning virtual fencing in paragraph 2?A. Its smart design.B. Its major advantages.C. Its wide application.D. Its working principles.9. What does the mild shock indicate to the cow?A. It’s time to return.B. It’s time to graze.C. It’s in danger.D. It’s in a wrong direction.10. What’s unavoidable for ranchers to complete the disturbance-rest cycle?A. Intense efforts.B. Polluted soil.C. Financial failure.D. Ecological imbalance.11. What’s Mr. Burnidge’s attitude to virtual fencing?A. Intolerant.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Conservative.DOver the past few months, I’ve been invited to speak with well-known writers, musicians and film producers regarding my recent book, Extraterrestrial. Prior to these conversations, I was on the receiving (and admiring) end of their artistic work, but now they were curious about my own research as a scientist. The reverse led me to recognize the similarities between innovation in the arts and the sciences.In sciences and arts alike, creativity appears magically as an unpredictable fountain of inspiration from the subconscious (潜意识). Its unexpected content breaks routines within traditional thinking. It delivers something new that is distinct from common practices, often taking people out of their comfort zone because it is ahead of its time. As a result, many innovators are laughed at and denied the recognition they deserve when they need it the most.There are many examples of such circumstances. In 1933 Fritz Zwicky inferred the existence of “dark matter”, but it took four decades for this concept to gain recognition within the astronomy community. Vincent van Gogh was considered a madman and a failure throughout his life. Today, his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold, though.Typically, life offers two ways of acquiring objects. One is by collecting available items, and the other is by creating things that never existed before. Whereas most items on the shelves of supermarkets are mass-produced, products that are newly created by artists or scientists are originally unique. Just like aging wine, a product of creative work acquires quality over time. It is colored by the response of the audience as well as by imitations. The initial circumstances are a reminder of an admirable baby. It is fascinating for a scientist or an artist to watch the interaction of their creation with the world, just as it is for parents to watch their children.Creativity in arts and sciences establishes a backdrop(=background)for human existence, as the content it invents gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. The human act of creation is an infinite-sum game, from which all of us benefit. And we can all participate in the creative process.12. Which can best replace the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1?A. Priority.B. Assumption.C. Shift.D. Preference.13. What can best describe creativity in sciences and arts?A. It tends to be forecastable.B. It mirrors common beliefs.C. It usually leads the times.D. It enjoys instant acceptance.14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. Creative works withstand the test of time.B. Mass-produced items are preferable.C. Old wine can’t be put into new bottl es.D. Inventiveness starts from childhood.15. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To clarify a concept.B. To launch an appeal.C. To offer an entertainment.D. To advocate a lifestyle.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2.5 分,满分12.5分)Providing feedback(反馈意见) is an essential part of personal and career development. 16 One of the most effective and classic methods to make it easier for both the giver and receiver is the feedback sandwich technique, sometimes also referred to as a compliment (赞美) sandwich.If you are seeking to enhance your career growth, learning about the feedback sandwich can be a game-changer. 17 Rather than simply focusing on what went wrong, it ensures that the person receiving the feedback also knows what went well. The process can be broken into three parts. A manager or superior starts by providing positive feedback to encourage a person to continue their good work. Afterward, they communicate constructive feedback for the person to improve. This feedback aims to be specific, behavioral, and relevant to the situation. 18 The feedback sandwich technique is a highly useful method. It can help soften the blow of criticism. By starting and ending with positive feedback, it’s easier for the recipient(接受者)to receive the constructive criticism without feeling attacked. 19 As we all know, criticism is awkward, but when you’re giving potentially negative feedback, it’s easier when you’re also serving it up with two compliments. Additionally, it enables the meeting or an interaction to end ona positive note.20 Many people are knowledgeable about this technique, which might make it sound insincere or predictable if not done correctly. Also, when feedback becomes a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus reducing its value. Hence, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion(=relieve)the negative, but should be delivered so as to reinforce(=enhance) and encourage good performance.A. It’s essential to be aware of its limitations, though.B. Similarly, it is also easier for the giver to offer feedback.C. The manager then ends the feedback session with positive feedback.D. The technique may lead to unclear and indirect personal communication.E. Delivering constructive criticism, however, can be challenging if not done correctly.F. It may not be for every situation, but it can make negative feedback more digestible.G. This technique involves using constructive feedback wrapped between two layers of positive feedback.第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15 小题;每小题1分, 满分15 分)I’d been exploring the 40-hectare woods around our cottage my whole life and I knew the way well.

On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic (流行病) of coronavirus.The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close. It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it'suseless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about something nice. We'll appreciate the distraction, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.4. What does the author intend to show by " It was nuts." in paragraph 2?A. The goods were in short supply.B. The store was having a big sale.C. The cashiers complained about their work.D. The locals rushed to do shopping like crazy.5. What does paragraph 3 convey about customers?A. They like to shop here in disguise.B. They are panicky about the disease .C. They are more friendly to each other.D. They have taken proper preventive measures.6. Which of the following best describes the author?A. Optimistic.B. Talented.C. Ambitious.D. Efficient.7. What is the best title for the text?A. It is not work but worry that killsB. Helping others is helping ourselvesC. Moments of kindness shine in a time of chaosD. Here is what it's like working in the pandemicCBlue whales, the earth's largest animals, call to others of their kind, though exactly what these cries communicate remains a mystery . But these sounds have begun evolving (演变). Since at least the 1960s,the pitch (音调)of Antarctic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans.The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch . In a study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, scale shifts were found across species, and among populations that don't necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesn't seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal. However, scientists have identified lowered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations have grown, then , the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances.Last year's study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales don't need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceansmade acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. Recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice — a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt. So the impacts of a warming planet may modulate animal sounds even in remote places.8. To what extent is whales' pitch drop?A. Across the species.B. In the Antarctic ocean .C. Among some populations.D. Within one million individuals.9. What causes the evolving of whales' pitch according to the text?A. Less communication and more threat.B. Protection efforts and acidic sea water.C. Sharp decrease of whales' populations;D. Underwater noises by ships and industries.10. What does the underlined word "modulate" mean in the last paragraph?A. Produce.B. Damage.C. Balance.D. Change.11. What can we infer from the text?A. Man is the soul of nature.B. Man and nature are in one.C. Nature pardons no mistakes .D. Nature has the final say over man.DThose driving forward the movement of paying college athletes are forgetting the reason one goes to college: to get an education .In an era struggling for competitive balance, how would the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) keep from giving schools like Kentucky and Alabama even more of a competitive advantage thanschools like Valparaiso and Florida Gulf Coast? The issue gets complicated when taking into consideration how the salary difference between different teams gets decided .Even worse, imagine athletes just coming to college for the money. We call college athletes amateurs. Oxford's definition of amateur is "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid basis. " The keyword is unpaid. The history of the word " amateur" dates back to the F rench word "amator”, which means lover. Essentially, college athletes should be playing their sport for the love of the game, not the money that would be given to them.Rules should not be made for the minority, and in this instance only two percent of athletes play professional sports . The expected career span of that two percent is 10 years, three and a half years in the National Football League (NFL). An astonishing 80 percent of retired NFL players go broke within three years of retirement ,60 percent in the NBA within five years. This is why the NCAA and its member institutions should apply a "stay and learn”, rule.This rule should state that if athletes choose to come to college, they will get paid in scholarships that last the entire educational process and the athlete must stay in school until they earn a degree in the area of study they choose . That money from going professional is going to run out sometime, but the degree will always be there.Look at college athletics for what it is and should always be, a high-pressure learning environment and an avenue to earn an education. A much more fun extension of the classroom if you will. After all, they are called student-athletes.12. How can the salary difference influence college teams?A. It is likely to promote cooperation.B. It can increase their independence.C. It can lead to more communication.D. It will probably cause more imbalance .13. Why does the author give explanations to the word "amateur”?A. To give an individual comment.B. To confirm the origin of the word.C. To make the point more authoritative .D. To provide an example for the argument.14. How will college athletes benefit from the "stay and learn,, rule?A. Increase their earnings.B. Get trained for scholarships.C. Ensure themselves to get a degree.D. Continue their professional careers.15. What does the author mainly argue about in the text?A. For money or for career?B. A college education or not?C. Going professional or being amateur?D. To pay or not to pay college athletes?第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

It wasn't long before Moira found another agent who was interested if she was willing to rewrite it from the first person to the third person.She did the hard work and sent it off again."I got back a really brief letter:‘ Thank you,I'm no longer interested.' It was really disappointing."A decade went by,and Moira found herself eager to write again,this time purely for her own enjoyment.She set herself the challenge of creating a thriller and chose Western Australia as her setting.As she was writing just for herself,something surprising began to happen."The characters took on a life of their own;they started doing things I hadn't thought about.It just flew." One day,an agent called from Australia.Three weeks later,Moira had a publication deal.Her novel,Cicada,was published in March."Even if it hadn't been published I still gained so much from the process," says Moira.21.What do we know about Moira______A. She was a writer.B. She was a doctor.C. She was an agent.D. She was a nurse.22.What does the author imply about her first novel?______A. It was produced after she graduated from university.B. It was published by one of the agents.C. It was modified according to the agents' requirements.D. It was made into a thriller with Western Australia as the setting.23.What made Moira write again ten years later?______A. The money.B. The setting.C. The challenge.D. The pleasure.24.What does the underlined word "flew" in paragraph 5 refer to______A. Succeeded.B. Survived.C. Broke.D. Failed.25.What would be the best title of the passage______A. An Adventure in ChinaB. How to Be a WriterC. Moira's First NovelD. A Passion for WritingCBritish writer John Donne once said:"No man is an island;every book is a world." As an enthusiastic reader,I can't agree with the latter part of the sentence more.Every summer,I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed.Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the madding crowd.I am no friend to chaos,either.I read George Orwell's 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors,no telephones or televisions in the rooms.1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection.Attempting Sound and Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel,however,was less fruitful:I made it through one and a quarter volumes,but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't keep them open.But this summer I find myself at a loss.I'm not quite interested in J.D.Salinger,say,or Frankenstein.There's always War and Peace which I've covered some distance several times,only to get bogged down in the "War" part,set it aside for a while,and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again,having forgotten everyone's name and social rank.How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite-once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice in the Wonderland,which feels almost like cheating,too exciting and too much fun to properly belong to serious literature.And then there's John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.This title does not amaze but confuse.We're never short of sour grapes,but we've never heard of angry grapes.Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit of summer.These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.26.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?______A. The author has a cottage in New England.B. 1984is a book that needs careful thought.C. Both of the reading attempts were not fruitful.D. Sound and Fury was set in a poorly-occupied motel.27.What does the underlined phrase "get bogged down" in paragraph 3 refer to?______A. Get confused.B. Be carried away.C. Be interpreted.D. Make no progress.28.Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?______A. He finishes them quickly.B. He should read something serious.C. He barely understands them.D. He gets amazed by their titles.29.What can we know about the author from this passage?______A. Thomas Hardy is his friend.B. He shows talent for literature.C. He is quite forgetful.D. He is a literary-minded man.30.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?______A. To share his reading experience.B. To encourage readers to read books.C. To introduce good books to readers.D. To condemn the chaotic world we live in.DIt is one of the oldest magic tricks in the book-a magician locks a woman in a box,with her head and feet sticking out from either end,and saws (锯)it in half.But when she finally jumps out of the box,the woman is unharmed.This trick was introduced nearly a century ago.It has been around for some time,but it never goes wrong.Why is it so successful?The answer is simple:the human mind is easily fooled.Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs,including the eyes,pick up.For instance,when we see a cow or a horse standing behind a tree,we automatically "fill in" the part of the animal's body that is hidden from our sight."So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (匮乏的)information about the world and it's generating this rich world by filling in information," Stephen Macknik,a scientist at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona,US,told Science magazine.But since our brains are filling in the gaps,sometimes they get it wrong.They tend to be driven by our previous experiences and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not.This tendency explains magicians' success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks.For example,when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to the other hand,you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.Apart from the information gaps,magicians also use the "blind spots" theory when doing their shows.The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the " invisible gorilla (大猩猩)",in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams.They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the ball.In the meantime,a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court.But shockingly,half of the viewers don't notice the gorilla,even when they appear to be looking directly at it.Magicians employ this tactic (招数),what they call "misdirection",in almost every one of their acts.They direct our attention somewhere else using comedy and music,which can make us miss stuff during the performance.31.The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to ______ .A. introduce the steps of the magic trickB. prove magic tricks seldom go wrongC. reveal how magic tricks are designedD. get us to wonder how magicians trick the mind32.We can conclude from the passage that the human mind is easily fooled because our brain ______ .A. may have difficulty remembering what we just sawB. fills in information about the magic worldC. is influenced by our previous experiencesD. processes far more information than our sensory organs pick up33.What does the underlined word "invisible" in paragraph 7 refer to______A. Unnoticed.B. Unimportant.C. Unpleasant.D. Unprepared.34.During the "invisible gorilla" experiment,people watching the video ignore the "gorilla" because ______ .A. they don't look directly at itB. they are not interested in itC. they are too focused on countingD. they consider it to be a distraction35.Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks______A. To get viewers to stay focused on the show.B. To make the show more fun and exciting.C. To draw viewers' attention away from a secret action.D. To create information gaps between magicians and viewers.三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or a mall.I have always (36) a stranger who tried to catch my (37) in a busy place.Yesterday I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage because I just had the (38)to do it after many days of planning.After the (39),I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot but my phone was (40).Then I requested the shop assistant who had (41) sold me the merchandise (which was not cheap),if she could ring my driver for me.She (42) that it was the shop policy that they cannot use (43)while working in the shop.After I got out of the shop onto the busy street,I (44)a young mother with her two kids to make the same (45).As soon as I said "Excuse me,madam!" she grabbed her kids and ran.I (46) a kidnapper.I stood there wondering how many times I had (47) to strangers like the young (48).I stood there in the (49) street with people rushing by,looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of (50) on their face.I saw a man pretty shabbily dressed compared to me who (51) to notice me.I just stopped him and made my request.He (52) called my driver and waited till my car came to make sure I was picked up,turned around (53) I could thank him adequately and was gone.I was (54) by kindness and hope I will do (55) to strangers who try to catch my attention from now on.36.

He taught me the right view of the world.When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student,I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company.His advice was simple,"Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better;management isn't about power and it's about leadership." I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability.When I was feeling down,he explained,"Think that you make the wrong choices in life,sometimes."My dad is 86 now,living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings.He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life.Although we live quite far away from each other,we talk daily on the phone,and he shares the joys of my young family.As I tell him how we're heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis,now his typical response is,"Do it while you can." This is very important.We can't be sure of the future.My father's advice is like the ancient dictum (格言)of " carpe diem"- seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.My dad rarely "lectured me".He trusted me,and helped me when I needed help.His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life.As I doubt my ability and my motivation,I recall his most recent gift of wisdom,"Do it while you can".It's enough to "just get me started".Why did the author's dad tell him "All things are relative."?(No more than 10 words)______What qualities should a manager have according to the author?(No more than 5 words)______What is the purpose of the author's father talking with him on the phone every day?(No more than 10 words)______How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(No more than 10 words)______ How do you feel about the ancient dictum of "carpe diem"?(No more than 20 words)______五、书面表达(本大题共1小题,共25.0分)57.你校英语社团要组织一次英语辩论赛,就"是否应该缩短中学生在校时间为8小时"的论题进行辩论,请你作为正方代表,写一份辩论稿,内容要点如下:(1)保证充足睡眠;(2)提高学习效率;(3)增加自主时间.注意:(1)词数不少于100;(2)可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;(3)辩论稿的开头已给出,不计入总词数.As a senior high student, I strongly recommend that___________答案和解析1.【答案】D【解析】答案:D.let's find some of the action.让我们找出一些行动.how do you find it?你怎么发现它的?it's entirely up to you.完全由你决定.you can't be serious.你何必太认真啦..根据句意,D项正确.故选:D.我听说"钢铁侠三"最近上映了,我们现在就去电影院欣赏它吧.你何必太认真呢.大约晚上10点.我太累了,必须睡觉本题考查交际用语,准确掌握相关交际用语的含义,平时多积累一些交际用语,结合语境,选出正确的答案.2.【答案】C【解析】答案C.keep up with"跟上,赶上";put up with"容忍,忍受";end up with"以…结束";catch up with"赶上,追上".根据句意,睡前闻下鲜花的香吻,"结果"你就会很快进入甜美的梦乡了.这里强调的是结果,所以选择C.句意:在睡前闻一下鲜花的香味,你将可能得到一个甜美的梦.本题是基础题,考查动词短语,要掌握短语的意思并熟悉具体的语境选择出正确选项.3.【答案】A【解析】答案:A 本题考查感叹句作宾语从句.感叹句中what 所修饰的中心词是名词或名词短语,how 所修饰的中心词是形容词或副词.此题中空格处后面部分的中心词是名词problems,所以用what.句意为:这条令人震惊的消息让我意识到我们将面临多么可怕的问题.分析句子结构可知,动词realize后的宾语从句中,结构为"感叹词what+adj.+n.+陈述句的语序,如果用how,句子需要作改动:…how terribe the problems were.4.【答案】B【解析】根据句意可知the movie star arrived之前,粉丝已经等了两个小时,表示过去的过去一直做的事情,用过去完成进行时.故选:B.疯狂的粉丝已经耐心地等了两个小时了,他们还会再等,直到电影明星到来.本题考查过去完成进行时,过去完成进行时表示过去的过去发生的事情,属于相对的时态,在过去的动作之前一直发生的可以用过去完成进行时.5.【答案】C【解析】答案:C,考查现在分词的完成式,根据语境是没完成项目,因此使用否定形式not位于动词之前,not complete动作发生在stay之前,因此使用完成时,答案为not having completed.没有完成这个项目,他们不得不待在那多两个星期.考查现在分词的完成式,应对句子的成分进行分析,再对答案进行确定.6.【答案】D【解析】答案:D.support支持;care在乎;spare腾出,匀出;share分享.根据Let Harry play with your toys as well可知用share分享.故选:D.也让Harry玩你的玩具.--Clare,你要学会分享.本题考查动词词义辨析.平时多识记一些动词的含义,做题时结合句意做题.7.【答案】D【解析】答案:D因为后面的句子是完整的句子,从而判断不是定语从句,定语从句是缺少成分的,首先排除A 和C,B选项表示的意思是在哪里,是表示地点的,所以选D,D选项不是表示‘当…的时候',而表示"既然",相当于since,用以引导原因状语从句.全句意思为:你既然有这么好的工作,干嘛还要找新的工作呢?故选:D.你既然有这么好的工作,干嘛还要找新的工作呢?根据句意:你既然有这么好的工作,干嘛还要找新的工作呢?判断不是定语从句,后面的句子是完整的句子,定语从句是缺少成分的,首先排除A和C,B选项表示的意思是在哪里,是表示地点的,故选D,D选项不是表示‘当…的时候',而表示"既然",相当于since,用以引导原因状语从句.8.【答案】A【解析】答案A.本题考查的是with的独立主格结构,with+sb./sth.+doing 表示sb/sth的主动;with+sb./sth.+done 表示sb/sth的被动;with+sb./sth.+to do表示sb/sth需要被做.根据句意餐桌是"被摆放好了",故选A.句意:起居室既干净又整洁,餐桌已经被摆放好了等待着饭菜被做好.本题考查的是with的独立主格结构,要弄清with后面的宾语和宾补之间的关系才能选择出正确选项.9.【答案】A【解析】答案为A.本题考查定语从句中引导词和强调句型的综合运用.题干中第一空格后面是以the small house为先行词的定语从句,从句中缺少做主语指代物的关系that、which,故排除B;题干中存在强调句型,强调句型的基本结构是"It be+被强调部分+that(被强调的是人可以用who)+其它".本题中被强调的是in the small house was built with stones by his father,去掉it was 和第二个空格中的词,句子是完整的,由此判断第二空用that;故答案是A.是在他父亲用石头建成得到小房子里他度过了童年.选择定语从句中的关系词,首先要理解各关系词的用法;然后找准先行词,将先行词带入到定语从句;最后根据先行词在定语从句中的作用判断关系词.此外,分清强调句型和定语从句.10.【答案】C【解析】详解: state是一个人的情形,往往指心情和身体状况;condition意为条件,也可以指人的身体状况;situation指的是情形,境遇,即一个人所处的环境;position指的是职位之类的意思结合句义只有C合适,学会处理危险的境地(情况)故选:C.必须教会在校生处置危险情况的方法.平时多加积累各种易混词的用法,学会深入理解句子含义,才能选择合适的词.11.【答案】D【解析】答案:D,考查交际语言的使用,Congratulations"祝贺你",Cheers"举杯敬酒的用语",Never mind"没关系,不用担心",Good luck"祝你好运",根据语境是祝愿别人比赛取胜,故答案为D.--麦克,我们队这周末要跟火箭队打比赛,我确信我们将会赢.--祝你好运!考查交际语言的使用,应联系前后句子的语境,对答案进行确定.12.【答案】A【解析】答案:A.way意为"方式,方法",多指一般的思想、行动、办事的方法;approach原指接近某人或某物,也可指对待或处理的方式或方法;means可指采用的方法、计划、政策、策略等,尤指整套的方法;method指具体的、系统的、有步骤的方法,强调条理性及高效率.而仅approach可接to,指"…的方法".会议上他们讨论了三种不同的学习数学的方法.本题考查名词辨析.学生应根据名词词义结合上下文选出合适答案.13.【答案】C【解析】答案:C.本题考查代词及定语从句.句中all作介词after的宾语,又作后面定语从句的先行词,all后面的关系代词that被省略.由句子含义和结构看,只有C项中的all 可填入空缺,表示"你父亲为你所做的一切".故选:C.你的父亲为你做了这么多事,你还这样说他,真令人不舒服.本题考查不定代词的用法.不定代词的应用是高中英语考察的重点,熟记每个代词的用法,注意每个代词之间用法含义上的不同.解题时结合语境具体分析,选择正确答案.14.【答案】A【解析】答案是A.本题考查情态动词shall的用法.情态动词shall常常用来表示法律或条文的规定.根据句意可知,询问指示牌上的内容,属于条文的规定,所以本题答案选择A.--那里的指示牌上写着什么?--在这个区域没有人可以吸烟或携带点燃的香烟、雪茄或烟斗.要在正确理解情态动词的基本含义的基础上,整体理解语境中的情感态度,做出合理的判断.15.【答案】A【解析】答案:A.根据题干中的or可知其引导的是含蓄虚拟条件句,相当于if引导的虚拟条件句.根据句中they were abroad的were可知事情发生在过去,所以or引导的含蓄条件句是对过去情况的假设,所以谓语动词形式应为would/could/might/should have done.故选A.在我们进行调查的那几个月他们正在国外,不然的话他们就来帮忙了.此题考查含蓄虚拟条件句.解题时根据题干中的介词(短语)提示,如with,without,or,otherwise,but for等,再结合上下文的语境找到隐藏的条件,从而确定是对什么时间的虚拟假设.16.【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】D 【小题5】A【解析】1.B.细节理解题.根据第二段This app can help to remind you how many days, hours, and minutes you have until your exam.

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The setworked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21.

Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit plac es-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place withbrightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some hel p slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bo wls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25.

Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off”between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-plann ed year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship –young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.30.
