W: That sounds like a good idea. I could listen to one in the background while I’m cooking.
M: How about this? You recommend a book to me, and I’ll try to read it your way. But you have to listen to one of mine.

听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。
18．What are the good seeds confirmed by?
A．Containers. B．X-rays. C．Freezers.
19．Why are seeds stored in frozen environment?
A．To be preserved for long.
B．To tackle climate change.
C．To safeguard food supply.
20．What is the speech mainly about?
A．Where seeds are stored.
B．How the seed bank works.
C．Why seed banks are important.
【答案】18．B 19．A 20．B
【原文】 Currently, there are over 1,000 seed banks located all over the world. How does the seed bank work? First, scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species, put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arrive, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. After that, X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside. The seeds are then frozen, stored in special containers and then placed in huge freezers at −20℃ for long-term storage, which allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and reawakened when required.
One of the most famous seed banks, Svalbard International Seed Bank, now holds more than one million seed samples. It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Norway.
As Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change, these seed banks are surely significant to safeguard the future of the world’s food supply.
第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In recent times, the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity. Here are our picks of the best, and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Nowadays people spend so much time planning, journaling, and writing in our diaries, rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals. This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. It digs into the psychology behind habits — how to form good ones and break the bad ones. If you’re a victim of procrastination (拖延症), this may be the push you need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life, making you a better listener, and overall a better friend. With simple tips such as including the person’s name in conversation and making sure you’re genuinely interested in what they’re saying, you can ensure they will remember you. The core idea is that you can change other people’s behaviour by changing your own, therefore building stronger relationships.
Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle
Part autobiographical and part self-help, it’s the perfect book to kickstart your year and start living for yourself. Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it, we may be working hard to please everyone around us, forgetting the most important person — ourselves.
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
“Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich”. This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. Ferris says that people don’t want to be millionaires. They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.
21．What can we learn from Atomic Habits?
A．How to keep a diary.
B．How to learn psychology.
C．How to arrange your routine.
D．How to satisfy your needs.
22．Which book may attract housewives most?
A．Atomic Habits.
B．Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living.
C．The 4-Hour Work Week.
D．How to Win Friends and Influence People.
23．Which of the following may Timothy Ferriss agree with?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Idle young, needy old.
C．Live in the moment.
D．Fortune favors the bold.
【答案】21．C 22．B 23．C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了帮助缓解焦虑的书籍。
21．细节理解题。根据Atomic Habits by James Clear部分中“This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. (这本书一步一步地指导你调整日常生活)”可知，Atomic Habits主要是指导读者们如何安排自己的日常生活。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle部分中“Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. (尽管任何人都可以喜欢这本书，但主要的读者是女性，因为道尔谈到了很多当母亲时的疑虑，以及女性觉得把所有人都放在自己之前的强烈需求)”可知，Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living适合女性读者。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss部分中“This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. (这本畅销书提出的观点是，你不需要等待退休，推迟你的人生计划。相反，你可以用漫长的职业生涯换取短暂的工作爆发和频繁的“迷你退休”)”可知，该书作者认为人们不必要等待退休而推迟自己的人生计划，而是应该用短暂的工集中工作和“迷你退休”模式，实现自己的人生。由此推知，也许Timothy Ferriss同意“活在当下”的观点。故选C。
B
A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.
Teaching humans not to throw cigarette butts on the street has so far proven impossible, but a Swedish company claims it can teach crows to pick up after us and save local communities millions of dollars in cleaning fees every year. It teaches wild crows to do our dirty work through a step-by-step learning process by rewarding the birds with food for every cigarette butt they collect.
“They are easier to teach and there is also a higher chance of them learning from each other. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them mistakenly eating any rubbish,” company founder, Hanssen, said. “They’re wild birds taking part in on a voluntary basis.”
Crows are among the smartest birds on Earth, and such training programs have proven successful several times in recent years. In fact, the company is so confident it can pull it off that it has expressed interest in testing it in on a larger scale, in the town of Södertälje.
Hanssen believes that the initiative could save the municipality(自治市)at least 75% of the costs involved with picking up cigarette butts, depending on how hard the crows work. If it proves successful, the company hopes that it will provide a permanent cleaning solution that can be used in other parts of the country and eventually nationwide.
The approach to litter cleaning has gotten positive feedback online, but there are those who think the fact that we can train crows to pick up cigarette bults, but we can’t get humans not to throw them away is hard to accept. Plus, there are the health problems of constantly exposing the birds to the cigarette butts.
24．What is the advantage of the program?
A．It can save food. B．It can save money.
C．It helps protect birds. D．It helps change people’s bad behavior.
25．Why are crows chosen for the program?
A．They have a strong ability to learn. B．They have a strong sense of smell.
C．They are good at collecting rubbish. D．They are in large numbers in Sweden.
26．What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A．Only a few people support the program.
B．The program can do harm to the crows.
C．The company can get a fortune from the program.
D．The program has served as a cleaning solution nationwide.
27．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Crows Learn to Exchange Food B．Crows Are Good at Collecting Litter
C．Crows Are Trained to Pick Up Litter D．Crows Begin to Feed on Cigarette Butts
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．B 27．C
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，该公司声称该项目可以为社区节省一大笔清洁成本。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.”（瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，该公司声称该项目可以为社区节省一大笔清洁成本。）可知，这个项目的优点是它可以省钱。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“They are easier to teach and there is also a higher chance of them learning from each other. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them mistakenly eating any rubbish,” company founder, Hanssen, said. “They’re wild birds taking part in on a voluntary basis.””（“他们更容易教，也有更高的机会互相学习。同时，他们误吃垃圾食品的风险也降低了。”公司创始人汉森说。“它们是自愿参与的野生鸟类。”）可知，选择乌鸦参加这个项目是因为它们有很强的学习能力。故选A项。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Plus, there are the health problems of constantly exposing the birds to the cigarette butts.”（此外，经常让鸟儿接触烟头也会带来健康问题。）可知，从最后两段我们可以知道这个项目可能会对乌鸦造成伤害。ACD项与原文实意不符。故选B项。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.”（瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，该公司声称该项目可以为社区节省一大笔清洁成本。）以及最后一段中“The approach to litter cleaning has gotten positive feedback online, but there are those who think the fact that we can train crows to pick up cigarette bults, but we can’t get humans not to throw them away is hard to accept.”（清理垃圾的方法在网上得到了积极的反馈，但也有人认为，我们可以训练乌鸦捡起烟头，但我们不能让人类不把它们扔掉，这是很难接受的。）可知，文章主要讲的是瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，可以省下一大笔清洁成本。故文章最好的标题是“乌鸦被训练来捡垃圾”。故选C项。
C
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.
Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist (古生物学家) at the University of Edinburgh, suggested the way other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.
He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added: “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures spike pretty quickly, which does raise the question: if temperatures do spike really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.
In a recent study, researchers studying human remains over the past million years have also suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size variation, while scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller.
However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong correlations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.
Lister is also sceptical that humans will shrink as the climate heats. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, and we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
28．According to Brusatte, early horses got smaller in body size in order to
A．keep warm B．avoid hunters C．stay cool D．keep balance
29．What does the underlined word “spike” probably mean?
A．Fall. B．Go up. C．Remain steady. D．Change.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards the new finding?
A．Objective. B．Indifferent. C．Confused. D．Positive.
31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To demonstrate the relationship between nature and people’s lifestyle.
B．To cast light on the potential impact of changed mammal body size.
C．To introduce the correlations between climate change and human body size.
D．To warn people of the survival crisis mammals are faced with.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是对气候变暖与人类体形之间关系的两种观点。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段的“mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures(体型较小的哺乳动物似乎能更好地应对全球气温上升)。根据第三段“He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.(他将人类的潜在困境描述为与早期马相似的困境，大约5500万年前，随着气温上升，早期马的体型变得越来越小。)”和第四段的“The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat(其原因尚不完全清楚，但在某种程度上，可能是因为较小的动物比丰满的动物有更大的表面积，因此可以更好地散热)”可知，早期的马体形变小是为了对抗气温升高。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据第一段的“mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures(体型较小的哺乳动物似乎能更好地应对全球气温上升)”和第四段的“That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures(这并不是说每一种哺乳动物都会变小，但这似乎是哺乳动物在温度……时常见的生存技巧)”可知，在温度高的地区，动物体形会变小，这是他们应对气候变化的生存技巧，因此spike意为“升高”，和go up意思相近。故选B。
30．推理判断题。本文围绕气候变化对哺乳动物体形带来的影响，呈现了两方观点：第四段“Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule.(在《哺乳动物的崛起与统治》一书中，布鲁萨特指出，如今世界上温暖地区的动物通常比寒冷地区的动物小，这是一种被称为伯格曼法则的生态学原理。)”指出Prof Steve Brusatte认为哺乳动物为了应对气温升高而体形变小。根据倒数第二段的“However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong correlations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.(然而，并不是所有的专家都同意温度上升会导致哺乳动物萎缩。伦敦自然历史博物馆的Adrian Lister教授说，最近的人类遗骸研究显示的这种关系很弱，而温度和哺乳动物体型之间的强相关性可能往往取决于食物和资源的可获得性。)”可知，Prof Adrian Lister持质疑观点。因此，作者只是客观陈述他人的观点，因此作者的态度应是客观的。故选A。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.(一位著名化石专家称，气候危机可能导致人类体型缩小，因为体型较小的哺乳动物似乎能更好地应对全球气温上升。)”可知，文章第一段提出气候危机可能导致人类体形变小，第二段至第六段讲到由Prof Steve Brusatte的研究发现气温是导致哺乳动物体形变化的主要因素。最后两段提到Prof Adrian Lister持质疑观点， 认为人类体形变化主要与食物和资源变化有关，因此作者写文章的目的是介绍气候变化与人体尺寸之间的相关性。故选C。
D
There is no doubt, when you received the praise, you felt good—and when you received the criticism , you felt upset and wanted to reject it. Clearly, we don’t want to be seen as failures, so we’d rather shut our eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.
However, by doing our best to avoid being criticized, we allow ourselves to travel on a never-ending highway of mediocrity (平康). Without receiving negative feedback and criticisms from others, our growth stopped and our opportunities disappeared. Launched in 210, the Microsoft KIN smartphone only lasted on the market for 48 days despite its $ 1 billion development and marketing costs. It was only after the phone went on sale that it became quite obvious that most 15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iphones to the Microsoft KIN. If criticism and feedback had been received by the developing group while the phone was in development, Microsoft could have avoided the huge embarrassment and financial loss that occurred.
Just to be clear, I’m talking about constructive criticism. Feedback that helps to make you stronger. If you always think you’re right but don’t get feedback from anyone else, how do you know for sure that what you’re doing is any good? Listening and acting on honest views will tell you exactly what you’re doing well-and what you can do better. This type of feedback forces you to evaluate your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices and move you towards good ones.
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. Fortunately, you now have the keys to help you move away from seeking praise—to instead, seeking constructive criticism. And once you start putting these keys to use, you’ll unlock the doors to a whole new way of learning, developing and succeeding.
32．What does the first paragraph express?
A．The responses to positive and negative comments.
B．The true feelings of being praised or criticized.
C．The differences between praise and criticism.
D．The benefits of taking criticisms from others.
33．What lesson can we learn from the Microsoft KIN smartphone?
A．Too much money for developing is not a good thing.
B．Well preparation is an effective way to deal with problem.
C．Early criticism is necessary for future success.
D．Good opportunity is an important part in our growth.
34．What benefit can we get after receiving others’ feedback?
A．Giving us more confidence. B．Making us more cautious.
C．Encouraging us a lot. D．Making us better.
35．What is the main idea of the text?
A．How criticism makes people upset. B．When criticism and praise take effect.
C．Who need criticism instead of praise. D．Why criticism is better than praise.
【答案】32．A 33．A 34．D 35．D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者认为我们很多时候我们宁愿被赞扬毁掉，也不愿被批评拯救，应该明智地使用建设性的批评。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is no doubt, when you received the praise, you felt good—and when you received the criticism (批评), you felt upset and wanted to reject it. (毫无疑问，当你得到赞扬时，你感觉很好，当你受到批评时(批评), 你感到沮丧，想拒绝它)”可知，第一段讲的是人们对积极的和消极的评论的反应，故选A项。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“Launched in 210, the Microsoft KIN smartphone only lasted on the market for 48 days despite its $ 1 billion development and marketing costs. (微软KIN智能手机于210年推出，尽管其开发和营销成本高达10亿美元，但仅在市场上持续了48天)”可知，开发资金太多未必是一件好事，故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This type of feedback forces you to evaluate your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices and move you towards good ones. (这种类型的反馈迫使你评估自己的行为和工作方式。如果你明智地使用建设性的批评，它可以引导你远离糟糕的做法，并推动你走向好的做法)”可知，别人的这种反馈能让我们变得更好，故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. Fortunately, you now have the keys to help you move away from seeking praise—to instead, seeking constructive criticism. (我们大多数人的问题是，我们宁愿被赞扬毁掉，也不愿被批评拯救。幸运的是，你现在有了钥匙，可以帮助你从寻求赞扬转向寻求建设性的批评)”可知，文章主要讲了为什么批评好于表扬，故选D项。

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。
What is heritage? The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years.____36____ It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible(有形的), the natural, and the intangible.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary,” said Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. Wu Liren has been maintaining such a “diary” of the Grand Canal____56____1978.
The 65-year-old painter from Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province, has been using ink and brush for more than 40 years____57____(record)the beauty of the arterial(干线的)waterway, the hospitality of local residents and the richness of culture____58____flows all the way.
Wu says memories and emotions run deep in his paintings, and these are far____59____ (important) than any technical perfection. “My art has always been about the Grand Canal. Sometimes I paint what I____60____ (see)in the past and sometimes I reproduce what I heard about people who lived by the canal,” he says.
Wu believes the Grand Canal is often compared with the West Lake, one of the most famous scenic____61____ (attraction)in Hangzhou. “The West Lake is seen as a beautiful treasure that needs to be cared for. But the Grand Canal is like our mother, who has watched us grow up, earn a living along her busy banks, leave her in search of a better future____62____return to her embrace later on,” he says.
Recently, Wu completed a 100-meter-long scroll(卷轴)painting of the canal’s Tangxi-Xixing stretch in Hangzhou. “I have actually painted the entire Grand Canal in Hangzhou, ____63____ (borrow) historical anecdotes from every dynasty,” Wu____64____ (proud)says. “The story of the canal needs to be told and the culture it represents must_____65_____ (pass)down.”
【答案】
56．since 57．to record 58．that/which 59．more important 60．saw 61．attractions 62．and 63．borrowing 64．proudly 65．be passed
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。杭州的一位画家吴理人用绘画的方式捕捉大运河的美丽并记录了与其相关的历史故事。
56．考查介词。句意：吴立仁从1978年起就一直保持着这样一本大运河的“日记”。因为主句的时态是现在完成进行时，所以此处用“since＋过去的一个时间点”作时间状语。故填since。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：这位来自浙江省杭州市的65岁画家，40多年来一直在用笔墨记录干线水道的美丽、当地居民的热情好客以及沿途文化的丰富。use sth to do sth意为“用某物做某事”，为固定用法。此处的动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to record。
58．考查定语从句。句意：这位来自浙江省杭州市的65岁画家，40多年来一直在用笔墨记录干线水道的美丽、当地居民的热情好客以及沿途文化的丰富。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词是culture，所以此处用关系代词 that或 which。故填that/which。
59．考查形容词的比较级。句意：吴说，记忆和情感在他的画中根深蒂固，这些远比任何技术上的完美都重要。根据空前的修饰词 far及空后的介词 than可知，此处用所给形容词的比较级形式。故填more important。
60．考查时态。句意：“我的艺术一直与大运河有关。有时我画我过去看到的，有时我复制我听到的关于住在运河边的人的故事，”他说。根据时间状语in the past及句意可知，此处用所给动词的过去式。故填saw。
61．考查名词的数。句意：吴先生认为，人们经常将大运河与杭州最著名的景点之一西湖相提并论。attraction此处意为“游览胜地”，为可数名词，又因为空前有 one of the most famous 修饰，所以此处用所给名词的复数形式。故填attractions。
62．考查连词。句意：“西湖被视为一个美丽的宝藏，需要被照顾。但大运河就像我们的母亲，她看着我们长大，在繁忙的两岸谋生，离开她去寻找更好的未来，后来又回到她的怀抱，”他说。根据句意可知，此处的动词短语为语义上顺承的并列关系，所以此处用并列连词 and。故填and。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：“我实际上画了整个杭州大运河，借用了每个朝代的历史轶事，”吴京自豪地说。分析句子成分可知，此处用非谓语动词。动词 borrow与其逻辑主语I存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处用所给动词的现在分词作状语。故填borrowing。
64．考查副词。句意：“我实际上画了整个杭州大运河，借用了每个朝代的历史轶事，”吴京自豪地说。此处用副词形式修饰谓语动词says。故填proudly。
65．考查被动语态。句意：运河的故事需要被讲述，它所代表的文化必须被传承下去。根据句意可知，动词短语pass down与主语the culture存在动宾关系，所以此处用被动语态，又因为空前有情态动词must，故此处用be passed。故填be passed。

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An A for Mrs. B
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B．informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. Only a few people behaved normally in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously waited for the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. B called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So, I’m in group three,I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who rarely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends.
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. B．She looked at me and knew what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why. . . ?” I started.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.”
I was stunned. I was confused. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen.
“Will you help them?” she asked.
I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed.
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。
Para1:
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para2:
In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. Encouraged by their big smiles, I sat down and led the project. According to personal interests and what they were good at, I assigned them with different columns of the newspaper. Halfway through it, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three people. Gradually, I learned that Mauro had few friends because he was struggling with the English language; Juliette wore long skirts or dresses every day because of her religion; Rachel had a burning desire to be a fashion designer so she had a whole barrel of unique ideas. Finally, with our cooperation, our assignment was successfully finished.
In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment. She announced to the whole class that the newspaper designed by our group was elaborately laid out and carefully edited, with rich cultural knowledge. Our joy and happiness were beyond description. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. Many years later, I didn’t recall anything about the newspaper, but I did feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions. It is Mrs B’s insight, vision and thoughtfulness that bring out the potential in four of her students. She is the one who truly deserves the grade A.
Possible version 2:
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. Resilient student as I was, I knew that in all my academic years, this seminar got to be the hardest nut to crack. Even so, I felt relieved when I saw them beaming with delight at me. The very natural and heart-warming smiles could hardly be ignored. Following a few greetings, we plunged right into the task at hand. Some were brainstorming a string of brilliant ideas while others were investigating cultures on the Internet in an energy-draining yet worthwhile manner. Teaming up with one another, everyone shared their passion and wisdom individually and collectively.
In the end, Mrs B gave us an A on that assignment. It was thrilling to see our painstaking efforts finally paid off. We hugged tightly, sheer excitement radiating from our lightened cheeks. This cheerful episode lingered long after the project was completed, serving as a sweet reminder of my new friends. Additionally, the whole ordealalso set me reflecting on how conceited I had been to allow unreasonable grievances to dominate me in the first place. Thanks to Mrs. B, I’ve learned to appreciate others’ inner strengths as well as enlightening minds. As such, I believe grade A should ultimately belong to Mrs. B, a real mentor with a keen understanding of what education is meant for.

M: I prefer books on tape. With my schedule, I don’t really have the time to sit down and read.
W: I understand. That’s why I do most of my reading just before bed. What do you listen to?
M: Books that inspire me and teach me new things. Most of the time, I listen to them when I’m driving. Sometimes I listen to them when I’m on along flight.
W: That sounds like a good idea. I could listen to one in the background while I’m cooking.
M: How about this? You recommend a book to me, and I’ll try to read it your way. But you have to listen to one of mine.
W: Deal.

18．What are the good seeds confirmed by?
A．Containers. B．X-rays. C．Freezers.
19．Why are seeds stored in frozen environment?
A．To be preserved for long.
B．To tackle climate change.
C．To safeguard food supply.
20．What is the speech mainly about?
A．Where seeds are stored.
B．How the seed bank works.
C．Why seed banks are important.
【答案】18．B 19．A 20．B
【原文】 Currently, there are over 1,000 seed banks located all over the world. How does the seed bank work? First, scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species, put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank. Once the seeds arrive, they’re dried and preserved in a special room. After that, X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside. The seeds are then frozen, stored in special containers and then placed in huge freezers at −20℃ for long-term storage, which allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and reawakened when required.
One of the most famous seed banks, Svalbard International Seed Bank, now holds more than one million seed samples. It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Norway.
As Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change, these seed banks are surely significant to safeguard the future of the world’s food supply.

A
In recent times, the sales of self-help books have soared in popularity. Here are our picks of the best, and most highly rated self-help books to help tackle that new year anxiety.
Atomic Habits by James Clear
Nowadays people spend so much time planning, journaling, and writing in our diaries, rather than taking action towards actually achieving our goals. This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. It digs into the psychology behind habits — how to form good ones and break the bad ones. If you’re a victim of procrastination (拖延症), this may be the push you need.
How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
This book is all about improving the relationships you have with others in your life, making you a better listener, and overall a better friend. With simple tips such as including the person’s name in conversation and making sure you’re genuinely interested in what they’re saying, you can ensure they will remember you. The core idea is that you can change other people’s behaviour by changing your own, therefore building stronger relationships.
Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle
Part autobiographical and part self-help, it’s the perfect book to kickstart your year and start living for yourself. Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. Doyle shows us our lives in a new light that without even realising it, we may be working hard to please everyone around us, forgetting the most important person — ourselves.
The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
“Escape the 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich”. This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. Ferris says that people don’t want to be millionaires. They want to experience what they think only millionaires can buy.
21．What can we learn from Atomic Habits?
A．How to keep a diary.
B．How to learn psychology.
C．How to arrange your routine.
D．How to satisfy your needs.
22．Which book may attract housewives most?
A．Atomic Habits.
B．Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living.
C．The 4-Hour Work Week.
D．How to Win Friends and Influence People.
23．Which of the following may Timothy Ferriss agree with?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．Idle young, needy old.
C．Live in the moment.
D．Fortune favors the bold.
【答案】21．C 22．B 23．C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了帮助缓解焦虑的书籍。
21．细节理解题。根据Atomic Habits by James Clear部分中“This book is a step-by-step guide to fixing up your routine. (这本书一步一步地指导你调整日常生活)”可知，Atomic Habits主要是指导读者们如何安排自己的日常生活。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle部分中“Although this book could be enjoyed by anyone, the prime audience is women, as Doyle talks a lot about doubts during motherhood, and the overwhelming need women feel to put everyone before themselves. (尽管任何人都可以喜欢这本书，但主要的读者是女性，因为道尔谈到了很多当母亲时的疑虑，以及女性觉得把所有人都放在自己之前的强烈需求)”可知，Untamed-Stop Pleasing, Start Living适合女性读者。故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss部分中“This best seller proposes the idea that you don’t need to wait for retirement and delay your life plan. Instead, you can trade a long career for short work bursts and frequent “mini-retirements”. (这本畅销书提出的观点是，你不需要等待退休，推迟你的人生计划。相反，你可以用漫长的职业生涯换取短暂的工作爆发和频繁的“迷你退休”)”可知，该书作者认为人们不必要等待退休而推迟自己的人生计划，而是应该用短暂的工集中工作和“迷你退休”模式，实现自己的人生。由此推知，也许Timothy Ferriss同意“活在当下”的观点。故选C。
B
A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.
Teaching humans not to throw cigarette butts on the street has so far proven impossible, but a Swedish company claims it can teach crows to pick up after us and save local communities millions of dollars in cleaning fees every year. It teaches wild crows to do our dirty work through a step-by-step learning process by rewarding the birds with food for every cigarette butt they collect.
“They are easier to teach and there is also a higher chance of them learning from each other. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them mistakenly eating any rubbish,” company founder, Hanssen, said. “They’re wild birds taking part in on a voluntary basis.”
Crows are among the smartest birds on Earth, and such training programs have proven successful several times in recent years. In fact, the company is so confident it can pull it off that it has expressed interest in testing it in on a larger scale, in the town of Södertälje.
Hanssen believes that the initiative could save the municipality(自治市)at least 75% of the costs involved with picking up cigarette butts, depending on how hard the crows work. If it proves successful, the company hopes that it will provide a permanent cleaning solution that can be used in other parts of the country and eventually nationwide.
The approach to litter cleaning has gotten positive feedback online, but there are those who think the fact that we can train crows to pick up cigarette bults, but we can’t get humans not to throw them away is hard to accept. Plus, there are the health problems of constantly exposing the birds to the cigarette butts.
24．What is the advantage of the program?
A．It can save food. B．It can save money.
C．It helps protect birds. D．It helps change people’s bad behavior.
25．Why are crows chosen for the program?
A．They have a strong ability to learn. B．They have a strong sense of smell.
C．They are good at collecting rubbish. D．They are in large numbers in Sweden.
26．What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A．Only a few people support the program.
B．The program can do harm to the crows.
C．The company can get a fortune from the program.
D．The program has served as a cleaning solution nationwide.
27．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Crows Learn to Exchange Food B．Crows Are Good at Collecting Litter
C．Crows Are Trained to Pick Up Litter D．Crows Begin to Feed on Cigarette Butts
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．B 27．C
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，该公司声称该项目可以为社区节省一大笔清洁成本。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.”（瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，该公司声称该项目可以为社区节省一大笔清洁成本。）可知，这个项目的优点是它可以省钱。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“They are easier to teach and there is also a higher chance of them learning from each other. At the same time, there’s a lower risk of them mistakenly eating any rubbish,” company founder, Hanssen, said. “They’re wild birds taking part in on a voluntary basis.””（“他们更容易教，也有更高的机会互相学习。同时，他们误吃垃圾食品的风险也降低了。”公司创始人汉森说。“它们是自愿参与的野生鸟类。”）可知，选择乌鸦参加这个项目是因为它们有很强的学习能力。故选A项。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Plus, there are the health problems of constantly exposing the birds to the cigarette butts.”（此外，经常让鸟儿接触烟头也会带来健康问题。）可知，从最后两段我们可以知道这个项目可能会对乌鸦造成伤害。ACD项与原文实意不符。故选B项。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A Swedish company training crows to pick up litter in exchange for food, claims that its program could save communities a fortune in cleaning costs.”（瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，该公司声称该项目可以为社区节省一大笔清洁成本。）以及最后一段中“The approach to litter cleaning has gotten positive feedback online, but there are those who think the fact that we can train crows to pick up cigarette bults, but we can’t get humans not to throw them away is hard to accept.”（清理垃圾的方法在网上得到了积极的反馈，但也有人认为，我们可以训练乌鸦捡起烟头，但我们不能让人类不把它们扔掉，这是很难接受的。）可知，文章主要讲的是瑞典一家公司训练乌鸦捡垃圾换食物，可以省下一大笔清洁成本。故文章最好的标题是“乌鸦被训练来捡垃圾”。故选C项。
C
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.
Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist (古生物学家) at the University of Edinburgh, suggested the way other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.
He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added: “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures spike pretty quickly, which does raise the question: if temperatures do spike really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.
In a recent study, researchers studying human remains over the past million years have also suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size variation, while scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller.
However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong correlations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.
Lister is also sceptical that humans will shrink as the climate heats. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, and we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
28．According to Brusatte, early horses got smaller in body size in order to
A．keep warm B．avoid hunters C．stay cool D．keep balance
29．What does the underlined word “spike” probably mean?
A．Fall. B．Go up. C．Remain steady. D．Change.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards the new finding?
A．Objective. B．Indifferent. C．Confused. D．Positive.
31．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To demonstrate the relationship between nature and people’s lifestyle.
B．To cast light on the potential impact of changed mammal body size.
C．To introduce the correlations between climate change and human body size.
D．To warn people of the survival crisis mammals are faced with.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是对气候变暖与人类体形之间关系的两种观点。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段的“mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures(体型较小的哺乳动物似乎能更好地应对全球气温上升)。根据第三段“He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.(他将人类的潜在困境描述为与早期马相似的困境，大约5500万年前，随着气温上升，早期马的体型变得越来越小。)”和第四段的“The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat(其原因尚不完全清楚，但在某种程度上，可能是因为较小的动物比丰满的动物有更大的表面积，因此可以更好地散热)”可知，早期的马体形变小是为了对抗气温升高。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据第一段的“mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures(体型较小的哺乳动物似乎能更好地应对全球气温上升)”和第四段的“That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures(这并不是说每一种哺乳动物都会变小，但这似乎是哺乳动物在温度……时常见的生存技巧)”可知，在温度高的地区，动物体形会变小，这是他们应对气候变化的生存技巧，因此spike意为“升高”，和go up意思相近。故选B。
30．推理判断题。本文围绕气候变化对哺乳动物体形带来的影响，呈现了两方观点：第四段“Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule.(在《哺乳动物的崛起与统治》一书中，布鲁萨特指出，如今世界上温暖地区的动物通常比寒冷地区的动物小，这是一种被称为伯格曼法则的生态学原理。)”指出Prof Steve Brusatte认为哺乳动物为了应对气温升高而体形变小。根据倒数第二段的“However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong correlations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.(然而，并不是所有的专家都同意温度上升会导致哺乳动物萎缩。伦敦自然历史博物馆的Adrian Lister教授说，最近的人类遗骸研究显示的这种关系很弱，而温度和哺乳动物体型之间的强相关性可能往往取决于食物和资源的可获得性。)”可知，Prof Adrian Lister持质疑观点。因此，作者只是客观陈述他人的观点，因此作者的态度应是客观的。故选A。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.(一位著名化石专家称，气候危机可能导致人类体型缩小，因为体型较小的哺乳动物似乎能更好地应对全球气温上升。)”可知，文章第一段提出气候危机可能导致人类体形变小，第二段至第六段讲到由Prof Steve Brusatte的研究发现气温是导致哺乳动物体形变化的主要因素。最后两段提到Prof Adrian Lister持质疑观点， 认为人类体形变化主要与食物和资源变化有关，因此作者写文章的目的是介绍气候变化与人体尺寸之间的相关性。故选C。
D
There is no doubt, when you received the praise, you felt good—and when you received the criticism , you felt upset and wanted to reject it. Clearly, we don’t want to be seen as failures, so we’d rather shut our eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.
However, by doing our best to avoid being criticized, we allow ourselves to travel on a never-ending highway of mediocrity (平康). Without receiving negative feedback and criticisms from others, our growth stopped and our opportunities disappeared. Launched in 210, the Microsoft KIN smartphone only lasted on the market for 48 days despite its $ 1 billion development and marketing costs. It was only after the phone went on sale that it became quite obvious that most 15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iphones to the Microsoft KIN. If criticism and feedback had been received by the developing group while the phone was in development, Microsoft could have avoided the huge embarrassment and financial loss that occurred.
Just to be clear, I’m talking about constructive criticism. Feedback that helps to make you stronger. If you always think you’re right but don’t get feedback from anyone else, how do you know for sure that what you’re doing is any good? Listening and acting on honest views will tell you exactly what you’re doing well-and what you can do better. This type of feedback forces you to evaluate your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices and move you towards good ones.
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. Fortunately, you now have the keys to help you move away from seeking praise—to instead, seeking constructive criticism. And once you start putting these keys to use, you’ll unlock the doors to a whole new way of learning, developing and succeeding.
32．What does the first paragraph express?
A．The responses to positive and negative comments.
B．The true feelings of being praised or criticized.
C．The differences between praise and criticism.
D．The benefits of taking criticisms from others.
33．What lesson can we learn from the Microsoft KIN smartphone?
A．Too much money for developing is not a good thing.
B．Well preparation is an effective way to deal with problem.
C．Early criticism is necessary for future success.
D．Good opportunity is an important part in our growth.
34．What benefit can we get after receiving others’ feedback?
A．Giving us more confidence. B．Making us more cautious.
C．Encouraging us a lot. D．Making us better.
35．What is the main idea of the text?
A．How criticism makes people upset. B．When criticism and praise take effect.
C．Who need criticism instead of praise. D．Why criticism is better than praise.
【答案】32．A 33．A 34．D 35．D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者认为我们很多时候我们宁愿被赞扬毁掉，也不愿被批评拯救，应该明智地使用建设性的批评。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is no doubt, when you received the praise, you felt good—and when you received the criticism (批评), you felt upset and wanted to reject it. (毫无疑问，当你得到赞扬时，你感觉很好，当你受到批评时(批评), 你感到沮丧，想拒绝它)”可知，第一段讲的是人们对积极的和消极的评论的反应，故选A项。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“Launched in 210, the Microsoft KIN smartphone only lasted on the market for 48 days despite its $ 1 billion development and marketing costs. (微软KIN智能手机于210年推出，尽管其开发和营销成本高达10亿美元，但仅在市场上持续了48天)”可知，开发资金太多未必是一件好事，故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This type of feedback forces you to evaluate your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices and move you towards good ones. (这种类型的反馈迫使你评估自己的行为和工作方式。如果你明智地使用建设性的批评，它可以引导你远离糟糕的做法，并推动你走向好的做法)”可知，别人的这种反馈能让我们变得更好，故选D项。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. Fortunately, you now have the keys to help you move away from seeking praise—to instead, seeking constructive criticism. (我们大多数人的问题是，我们宁愿被赞扬毁掉，也不愿被批评拯救。幸运的是，你现在有了钥匙，可以帮助你从寻求赞扬转向寻求建设性的批评)”可知，文章主要讲了为什么批评好于表扬，故选D项。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
What is heritage? The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years.____36____ It can also be the customs, traditions, and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible(有形的), the natural, and the intangible.
____37____ It can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale, a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage. This can include bodies of water, plant life, landforms and more. One example is the Nile River.____38____ Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can’t feel through touch. Maybe you’ve read about forms of dance, like Flamenco dancing. You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands or holidays like Eid. These are all examples of intangible heritage. ____39____
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself, your family, and your ancestors. But it’s also important to learn about the heritage of others. ____40____ It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
A．They are treasures that can be touched.
B．What tangible items can be part of heritage?
C．However, heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.
D．Languages, holidays and customs also make the list.
E．Therefore, it’s difficult to protect them from fading away.
F．Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.

第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary,” said Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. Wu Liren has been maintaining such a “diary” of the Grand Canal____56____1978.
The 65-year-old painter from Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province, has been using ink and brush for more than 40 years____57____(record)the beauty of the arterial(干线的)waterway, the hospitality of local residents and the richness of culture____58____flows all the way.
Wu says memories and emotions run deep in his paintings, and these are far____59____ (important) than any technical perfection. “My art has always been about the Grand Canal. Sometimes I paint what I____60____ (see)in the past and sometimes I reproduce what I heard about people who lived by the canal,” he says.
Wu believes the Grand Canal is often compared with the West Lake, one of the most famous scenic____61____ (attraction)in Hangzhou. “The West Lake is seen as a beautiful treasure that needs to be cared for. But the Grand Canal is like our mother, who has watched us grow up, earn a living along her busy banks, leave her in search of a better future____62____return to her embrace later on,” he says.
Recently, Wu completed a 100-meter-long scroll(卷轴)painting of the canal’s Tangxi-Xixing stretch in Hangzhou. “I have actually painted the entire Grand Canal in Hangzhou, ____63____ (borrow) historical anecdotes from every dynasty,” Wu____64____ (proud)says. “The story of the canal needs to be told and the culture it represents must_____65_____ (pass)down.”
【答案】
56．since 57．to record 58．that/which 59．more important 60．saw 61．attractions 62．and 63．borrowing 64．proudly 65．be passed
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。杭州的一位画家吴理人用绘画的方式捕捉大运河的美丽并记录了与其相关的历史故事。
56．考查介词。句意：吴立仁从1978年起就一直保持着这样一本大运河的“日记”。因为主句的时态是现在完成进行时，所以此处用“since＋过去的一个时间点”作时间状语。故填since。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：这位来自浙江省杭州市的65岁画家，40多年来一直在用笔墨记录干线水道的美丽、当地居民的热情好客以及沿途文化的丰富。use sth to do sth意为“用某物做某事”，为固定用法。此处的动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to record。
58．考查定语从句。句意：这位来自浙江省杭州市的65岁画家，40多年来一直在用笔墨记录干线水道的美丽、当地居民的热情好客以及沿途文化的丰富。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词是culture，所以此处用关系代词 that或 which。故填that/which。
59．考查形容词的比较级。句意：吴说，记忆和情感在他的画中根深蒂固，这些远比任何技术上的完美都重要。根据空前的修饰词 far及空后的介词 than可知，此处用所给形容词的比较级形式。故填more important。
60．考查时态。句意：“我的艺术一直与大运河有关。有时我画我过去看到的，有时我复制我听到的关于住在运河边的人的故事，”他说。根据时间状语in the past及句意可知，此处用所给动词的过去式。故填saw。
61．考查名词的数。句意：吴先生认为，人们经常将大运河与杭州最著名的景点之一西湖相提并论。attraction此处意为“游览胜地”，为可数名词，又因为空前有 one of the most famous 修饰，所以此处用所给名词的复数形式。故填attractions。
62．考查连词。句意：“西湖被视为一个美丽的宝藏，需要被照顾。但大运河就像我们的母亲，她看着我们长大，在繁忙的两岸谋生，离开她去寻找更好的未来，后来又回到她的怀抱，”他说。根据句意可知，此处的动词短语为语义上顺承的并列关系，所以此处用并列连词 and。故填and。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：“我实际上画了整个杭州大运河，借用了每个朝代的历史轶事，”吴京自豪地说。分析句子成分可知，此处用非谓语动词。动词 borrow与其逻辑主语I存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处用所给动词的现在分词作状语。故填borrowing。
64．考查副词。句意：“我实际上画了整个杭州大运河，借用了每个朝代的历史轶事，”吴京自豪地说。此处用副词形式修饰谓语动词says。故填proudly。
65．考查被动语态。句意：运河的故事需要被讲述，它所代表的文化必须被传承下去。根据句意可知，动词短语pass down与主语the culture存在动宾关系，所以此处用被动语态，又因为空前有情态动词must，故此处用be passed。故填be passed。

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An A for Mrs. B
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth-grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B．informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. Only a few people behaved normally in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously waited for the class. After the bell rang, Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs. B called for our attention. She started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So, I’m in group three,I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Juliette, Rachel, Karina.” I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group—the boy who rarely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends.
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. B．She looked at me and knew what I was there for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why. . . ?” I started.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.”
I was stunned. I was confused. I was amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen.
“Will you help them?” she asked.
I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed.
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。
Para1:
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para2:
In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. Encouraged by their big smiles, I sat down and led the project. According to personal interests and what they were good at, I assigned them with different columns of the newspaper. Halfway through it, I felt myself enjoying the company of these three people. Gradually, I learned that Mauro had few friends because he was struggling with the English language; Juliette wore long skirts or dresses every day because of her religion; Rachel had a burning desire to be a fashion designer so she had a whole barrel of unique ideas. Finally, with our cooperation, our assignment was successfully finished.
In the end, Mrs. B gave us an A on that assignment. She announced to the whole class that the newspaper designed by our group was elaborately laid out and carefully edited, with rich cultural knowledge. Our joy and happiness were beyond description. After that semester ended, I always received a friendly hello from my group. Many years later, I didn’t recall anything about the newspaper, but I did feel fortunate to be given the opportunity to see in myself a potential that inspired my actions. It is Mrs B’s insight, vision and thoughtfulness that bring out the potential in four of her students. She is the one who truly deserves the grade A.
Possible version 2:
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat. Resilient student as I was, I knew that in all my academic years, this seminar got to be the hardest nut to crack. Even so, I felt relieved when I saw them beaming with delight at me. The very natural and heart-warming smiles could hardly be ignored. Following a few greetings, we plunged right into the task at hand. Some were brainstorming a string of brilliant ideas while others were investigating cultures on the Internet in an energy-draining yet worthwhile manner. Teaming up with one another, everyone shared their passion and wisdom individually and collectively.
In the end, Mrs B gave us an A on that assignment. It was thrilling to see our painstaking efforts finally paid off. We hugged tightly, sheer excitement radiating from our lightened cheeks. This cheerful episode lingered long after the project was completed, serving as a sweet reminder of my new friends. Additionally, the whole ordealalso set me reflecting on how conceited I had been to allow unreasonable grievances to dominate me in the first place. Thanks to Mrs. B, I’ve learned to appreciate others’ inner strengths as well as enlightening minds. As such, I believe grade A should ultimately belong to Mrs. B, a real mentor with a keen understanding of what education is meant for.
