The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.
21．Which festival is held in Louisiana
A．Interceltic Festival. B．Roskilde Music Festival.
C．Newport Folk Festival. D．New Orleans Jazz Festival.
22．Who started Newport Folk Festival
A．Joan Baez. B．Bob Dylan. C．George Wein. D．Mahalia Jackson.
23．What do the last two festivals have in common
A．They include some sports. B．They emphasize one type of music.
C．They donate all their profits. D．They last for the same period of time.
B
As a young woman, Pei Aimin, now 49, hid her natural gift for writing, hoping nobody in her farming village would notice and accuse her of neglecting (忽视) work and family.
That was the way of things when Pei was young in her village. In the past, girls often dropped out of school at an early age to get married and settle into the regular routines of rural life.
A few, like Pei, however, yearned for a wider world and looked for ways to express themselves. Pei began to write in middle school and mailed her stories to publishers. Two of them were published, one in a newspaper, another in a magazine.
After her marriage, she had to create secret opportunities. Sometimes she would water useless land just so she could read or write outdoors without being observed. Sometimes she sat under a tree, expressing her feelings on paper until somebody came, and she would hurriedly hide the papers and pen.
“Few women in my village could read or write, “Pei said. “All my family members thought it was a waste of time.”
After reading and writing like that for years, Pei took everyone by surprise when she published a book, Diary of Aunt Vole. It is a collection of 365 short diary entries that describe the natural scenery of the northwestern countryside, the daily routine of the local people, and interesting things that happened in the village.
Pei said she hoped the book would help readers understand that farm work consists of both hardship and fun.
Now Pei’s family no longer objects to her hobby. “Although women in the village still don’t read, many have changed their minds about it,” Pei said. “Learning, after all, is useful.”
24．What do the underlined words “yearned for” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Desired. B．Avoided. C．Found. D．Left
25．What did Pei have to do in order to write
A．Become a publisher.
B．Tell harmless lies.
C．Drop out of school.
D．Hide from other people.
26．How did people in her village feel when Pei published her book
A．Proudly B．Doubtful. C．Surprised. D．Pleased.
27．What role does Pei want her book to play
A．Inspire students to study hard.
B．Show the real life on the farm.
C．Encourage more women to read.
D．Attract people to the countryside.
C
Recently, I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard. I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories (配饰) a friend gave me. It occurred to me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead ”
For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing.
After shopping with my friends that time, I began to proceed to use the “birdcage effect”. I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk, and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration. When everything was ready, I started writing again.
But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible!
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The application of the “birdcage effect” in life.
B．The necessity of using the “birdcage effect” in life.
C．The turning point of the author’s idea on the “birdcage effect”.
D．The author’s conflict with her friend over the “birdcage effect”.
29．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience
A．To recall her delightful days at school.
B．To explain the reason for her love with writing.
C．To confirm the positive of the “birdcage effect”.
D．To prove her knowledge of the “birdcage effect”.
30．How can we make use of the “birdcage effect” positively
A．By realizing this effect has two sides.
B．By promoting our personal consumption.
C．By recognizing this effect is not so terrible.
D．By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect Confidently
B．Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our Goals
C．The Birdcage Effect: Influence on Consumer Behavior
D．The Birdcage Effect: How to Use It to Your Advantage
There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.
It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity
Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.
It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.
Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.
As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!
32．What do people tend to think of minority languages
A．Valueless. B．Time-honored. C．Informal. D．Stable.
33．How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author
A．We can discover drugs in a much safer way.
B．We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.
C．We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.
D．We can learn how to protect plants and animals.
34．Why does the author mention the Second World War
A．To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.
B．To prove the value of minority languages.
C．To show wars’ role in preserving a language.
D．To explain ways to conserve some languages.
35．What would be a suitable title for the text
A．Are majority languages worth valuing
B．Are we willing to save dying languages
C．Should endangered languages be saved
D．Is the future of minority languages bright

Your Brain Was Made For Walking
If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do 36 .
Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. 37 A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside — versus on a treadmill (跑步机) — produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. 38
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation (停滞), the antithesis of energy. 39 Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.
40 Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A．In fact, you probably do it every day.
B．Physical movement is unintentional.
C．Without energy, you can’t wonder or create.
D．So why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking
E．That is why walking with a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.
F．Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas.
G．Disconnecting from multimedia increases performance on all problem-solving tasks.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
An awkward experience
I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Raine. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn’t afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go.
So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn’t want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking “Who And where ” loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat.
To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn’t help but overhear(偷听) their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn’t have given in to Raine’s suggestion.
注意：
1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began.

Paragraph 2:
To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling.

【原文】Good afternoon, everybody, and thank you for giving me your time today. Firstly I’d like to talk to you about the kind of people we’re looking for at Pacific Clothing, and finally I’d like to tell you what we offer you if you come to work for us. All kinds of people work in a wide range of jobs in the clothing industry, from drivers to office workers and artists. Right now we’re on the lookout for scientists, particularly to work with the dyes we use to colour cloth. And to design the patterns and choose the colours which are going to appeal to consumers, we have a strong design team. We’re not looking for any new designers at present but chances may arise in the future. However, at the moment we are looking for engineers to work in the production department. And we’re currently employing accountants. They’re not usually associated with fashion but let me tell you, they perform a vital task. But that’s not to say that, if you have qualifications in another field, for example, sales, we won’t be needing someone like you in the future.

The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.
21．Which festival is held in Louisiana
A．Interceltic Festival. B．Roskilde Music Festival.
C．Newport Folk Festival. D．New Orleans Jazz Festival.
22．Who started Newport Folk Festival
A．Joan Baez. B．Bob Dylan. C．George Wein. D．Mahalia Jackson.
23．What do the last two festivals have in common
A．They include some sports. B．They emphasize one type of music.
C．They donate all their profits. D．They last for the same period of time.
【答案】21．D 22．C 23．A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个著名的音乐节。
21．推理判断题。根据New Orleans Jazz Festival中“Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts. (长期以来，参与者一直在以路易斯安那州的本土美食、艺术和工艺品为特色的摊位和展览旁欣赏最新的热门歌手)”可知，新奥尔良爵士音乐节中的摊位和展览以路易斯安那州的本土东西为特色。由此可知，该音乐节在路易斯安那州举办。故选D项。
22．细节理解题。根据Newport Folk Festival中“Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. (纽波特民谣音乐节是美国最古老的音乐节之一，由乔治·韦恩于1959年创立，以向世界介绍琼·贝兹和鲍勃·迪伦等人而闻名)”可知，纽波特民谣音乐节的创办者是乔治·韦恩。故选C项。
23．细节理解题。根据Interceltic Festival中“While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports. (在强调音乐和舞蹈的同时，为期十天的节日也为凯尔特艺术、食物和饮料、戏剧、文学和体育提供了丰富多彩的表达平台)”和Roskilde Music Festival中“With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults. (湖中游泳、现场滑板公园和一年一度的“裸跑”活动，使该活动赢得了为期一周的成年人夏令营的美誉)”可知，这两个音乐节都包含了体育方面的活动。故选A项。
B
As a young woman, Pei Aimin, now 49, hid her natural gift for writing, hoping nobody in her farming village would notice and accuse her of neglecting (忽视) work and family.
That was the way of things when Pei was young in her village. In the past, girls often dropped out of school at an early age to get married and settle into the regular routines of rural life.
A few, like Pei, however, yearned for a wider world and looked for ways to express themselves. Pei began to write in middle school and mailed her stories to publishers. Two of them were published, one in a newspaper, another in a magazine.
After her marriage, she had to create secret opportunities. Sometimes she would water useless land just so she could read or write outdoors without being observed. Sometimes she sat under a tree, expressing her feelings on paper until somebody came, and she would hurriedly hide the papers and pen.
“Few women in my village could read or write, “Pei said. “All my family members thought it was a waste of time.”
After reading and writing like that for years, Pei took everyone by surprise when she published a book, Diary of Aunt Vole. It is a collection of 365 short diary entries that describe the natural scenery of the northwestern countryside, the daily routine of the local people, and interesting things that happened in the village.
Pei said she hoped the book would help readers understand that farm work consists of both hardship and fun.
Now Pei’s family no longer objects to her hobby. “Although women in the village still don’t read, many have changed their minds about it,” Pei said. “Learning, after all, is useful.”
24．What do the underlined words “yearned for” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Desired. B．Avoided. C．Found. D．Left
25．What did Pei have to do in order to write
A．Become a publisher.
B．Tell harmless lies.
C．Drop out of school.
D．Hide from other people.
26．How did people in her village feel when Pei published her book
A．Proudly B．Doubtful. C．Surprised. D．Pleased.
27．What role does Pei want her book to play
A．Inspire students to study hard.
B．Show the real life on the farm.
C．Encourage more women to read.
D．Attract people to the countryside.
【答案】24．A 25．D 26．C 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是现年49岁的Pei Aimin年轻时就隐藏了自己的写作天赋，在不被人注意的情况下创作出版了《田鼠姨妈日记》的故事。
24．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“In the past, girls often dropped out of school at an early age to get married and settle into the regular routines of rural life.(在过去，女孩往往在很小的时候就辍学结婚，适应农村的常规生活。)”可知，那时候女孩子们小时候就辍学结婚开始农村的常规生活，结合划线单词前的“A few, like Pei, however(然而，像Pei这样的少数人)”可知，像Pei这样的少数人应是与其他女孩不同，根据划线单词后的并列句“and looked for ways to express themselves.(并寻找表达自己的方式)”可知，她们在寻找表达自己的方式，结合划线单词后的“a wider world(一个更广阔的世界)”可知，此处表达的是她们渴望一个更广阔的世界，所以，划线单词的意思与“渴望”意义相近。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Sometimes she would water useless land just so she could read or write outdoors without being observed. Sometimes she sat under a tree, expressing her feelings on paper until somebody came, and she would hurriedly hide the papers and pen.(有时她会给荒地浇水，这样她就可以在不被人注意的情况下在户外读书或写作。有时她坐在树下，在纸上表达自己的感受，直到有人来，她会赶紧把纸和笔藏起来。)”可知，她会在不被人注意的情况下读书或写作，看到有人的时候，会将纸和笔藏起来，为了写作她需要躲避他人。故选D项。
26．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“After reading and writing like that for years, Pei took everyone by surprise when she published a book, Diary of Aunt Vole.(在这样的阅读和写作多年之后，Pei出版了一本书《田鼠姨妈日记》，让所有人都大吃一惊。)”可知，在这样的背景下阅读和写作，还出版了一本书，这让所有人大吃一惊。故选C项。
27．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Pei said she hoped the book would help readers understand that farm work consists of both hardship and fun.( Pei说，她希望这本书能帮助读者理解，农活既有艰辛，也有乐趣。)”可知，Pei希望这本书能让更多的人了解农场的真实生活。故选B项。
C
Recently, I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard. I remember buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories (配饰) a friend gave me. It occurred to me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead ”
For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing.
After shopping with my friends that time, I began to proceed to use the “birdcage effect”. I bought a small fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk, and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration. When everything was ready, I started writing again.
But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible!
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The application of the “birdcage effect” in life.
B．The necessity of using the “birdcage effect” in life.
C．The turning point of the author’s idea on the “birdcage effect”.
D．The author’s conflict with her friend over the “birdcage effect”.
29．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience
A．To recall her delightful days at school.
B．To explain the reason for her love with writing.
C．To confirm the positive of the “birdcage effect”.
D．To prove her knowledge of the “birdcage effect”.
30．How can we make use of the “birdcage effect” positively
A．By realizing this effect has two sides.
B．By promoting our personal consumption.
C．By recognizing this effect is not so terrible.
D．By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect Confidently
B．Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our Goals
C．The Birdcage Effect: Influence on Consumer Behavior
D．The Birdcage Effect: How to Use It to Your Advantage
【答案】28．C 29．C 30．D 31．D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及我们该如何在生活中恰当地利用它。
28．主旨大意题。第二段首句““Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead ”(“鸟笼效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。几周前，我和朋友一起去购物。有的说，她想买一支好的写字笔，搭配姐姐送给她的精致笔记本，让她爱上记读书笔记，从而爱上读书，而不仅仅是读书。我开玩笑说她一定是受了“鸟笼效应”的影响。但朋友笑道：“为什么不用‘鸟笼效应’来代替呢？”)”可知，朋友告诉作者可以反向使用“鸟笼效应”，作者第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用，由此可知，第二段主要讲述了作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法有了改变，第三段第一句话“For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). (第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用)”也是提示，说明作者对“鸟笼效应”的看法发生了改变，故选C。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, this can’t help but remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in love with writing.(不过，这不禁让我想起了中学时代，我似乎运用了“鸟笼效应”。有一天路过一家书店，我买了一本杂志，看到杂志上刊登的征稿启事，我就开始急切地开始写作，从此我就爱上了写作)”可知，作者运用了“鸟笼效应”的结果是自己爱上了写作，这是“鸟笼效应”给作者带来的积极影响，由此可推知，作者提到她的中学经历的是为了证实“鸟笼效应”的积极作用。故选C。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. (如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟笼”，我们可以明确自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。)”可知，我们可以通过指导我们的行为去实现合理的目标以此来积极利用“鸟笼效应”，故选D。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中““Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. (“鸟笼效应”是指当你有一天得到一件物品时，你会准备更多的东西来搭配它。)”，第三段中“For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). (第一次听说“鸟笼效应”可以反向使用)”和最后一段“But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the opposite way Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible!(但如何才能在很多事情上摆脱“鸟笼效应”，甚至反过来利用“鸟笼效应”呢？生活中难免会出现各种各样的“鸟笼”，但我们可以区分它们。如果不符合实际情况，就是“负面鸟笼”，那么我们就要学会及时止损，保持一颗抛弃、分离的心。如果是一个激励我们向上发展的“积极的鸟笼”，我们可以明确自己的目标，适当的购物或装饰，激励自己朝着目标前进。这时候你就会发现“鸟笼效应”其实并没有那么可怕！)”可知，文章主要介绍了“鸟笼效应”以及我们该如何在生活中恰当地利用它，D项“鸟笼效应：如何利用它来对你有利”适合作文章标题，故选D。
D
There are close to 7, 000 languages spoken on Earth. However, it’s estimated that by the end of this century, up to 50% of them may be lost.
It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity
Speakers of endangered languages often live in remote areas with unique landform. It is quite common for these languages to distinguish between hundreds more types of plants and animals than those known to modern science. For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine.
It was once believed that the limits of one’s language defined the limits of one’s thought. This theory, called the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis (假说), has been largely rejected in favor of the improved version, which assumes that the language we speak does not set the limits of our thoughts, but it does direct our focus in certain ways. For example, English is a tense-based language. It’s nearly impossible to talk about doing something without specifying the time — i. e. I went to the party(past), I’m going to the party(present), or I’ll go to the party (future). This differs from Chinese, where it’s perfectly reasonable to say, “I go to the party” without defining the “when”. Thus, part of the richness of language is that it allows us to organize the world in so many unique ways.
Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war.
As we’ve already seen, minority languages are valuable for many practical reasons. In conclusion, I’d say the short answer is yes — dying languages are certainly worth saving!
32．What do people tend to think of minority languages
A．Valueless. B．Time-honored. C．Informal. D．Stable.
33．How can we benefit from endangered languages according to the author
A．We can discover drugs in a much safer way.
B．We don’t have to rely on modern medicine.
C．We can acquire a broad knowledge of nature.
D．We can learn how to protect plants and animals.
34．Why does the author mention the Second World War
A．To correct the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis.
B．To prove the value of minority languages.
C．To show wars’ role in preserving a language.
D．To explain ways to conserve some languages.
35．What would be a suitable title for the text
A．Are majority languages worth valuing
B．Are we willing to save dying languages
C．Should endangered languages be saved
D．Is the future of minority languages bright
【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了少数语言以及一些濒危的语言被看作是感情用事，但却举例论证濒危的语言对社会在历史上以及现在带来的好处。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). (人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要被视为感情用事的。)”可知，少数语言被视为进步的障碍，是没有价值的，故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, in Southeast Asia, some tribes have discovered the medicinal properties of over sixty-five hundred plant species. This has led to many of landmark achievements in medicine. (例如，在东南亚，一些部落已经发现了6500多种植物的药用特性。这带来了医学上许多里程碑意义的成就。)”可知，一些濒危的语言可以帮助人们在特定的领域拓宽知识，故我们可以通过濒危的语言来拓宽自然的知识，故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Some languages categorize the world in ways so different from our own that they are difficult to conceptualize (概念化). The United States employed native Navajo speakers to create a system of message coding during the Second World War. The Japanese were never able to break it, and the “code talkers” are often cited today as having helped decide the outcome of the war. (一些语言以与我们截然不同的方式将世界分类，以至于很难将它概念化。二战期间，美国故用了以纳瓦霍语为母语的人来创建一个信息编码系统。日本人从来没能破解它，今天人们常常引用“密码通话员”，因为它帮助了决定这场战争的结果。)”可知，文章提到二战是为了证明纳瓦霍语在二战中起到的关键性的作用，使得日本人无法破解，从而带来了战争的胜利，故其是为了证明一些少数语言的价值，故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“It’s commonly thought that majority languages tend to be valued for being useful and for promoting progress, while minority languages are seen as barriers to progress, and the value placed on them is seen mainly as sentimental (感情用事的). But is sentimentality really the only motivation for preserving language diversity ( 人们普遍认为，多数语言往往因有用和促进进步而受到重视，而少数语言则被视为进步的障碍，对它们的重视主要被视为感情用事的。但是感情用事真的是保持语言多样性的唯一动机吗？)”可知，文章提出了少数语言以及一些濒危的语言被看作是感情用事，文章从第三段举例论证濒危的语言对社会在历史上以及现在带来的好处，故C项“濒危语言应该被保存下来吗？”符合文章标题，故选C。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your Brain Was Made For Walking
If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too What if the secret was something you already knew how to do 36 .
Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster. 37 A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside — versus on a treadmill (跑步机) — produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. 38
But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation (停滞), the antithesis of energy. 39 Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.
40 Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.
A．In fact, you probably do it every day.
B．Physical movement is unintentional.
C．Without energy, you can’t wonder or create.
D．So why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking
E．That is why walking with a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.
F．Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas.
G．Disconnecting from multimedia increases performance on all problem-solving tasks.
【答案】36．A 37．F 38．E 39．C 40．D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了走路对创造力的积极影响，并提供了相关研究和数据支持。作者强调了走路的运动性和环境性对于激发创造力的重要性，并鼓励读者将走路作为实现创造力目标的起点。
36．根据下文第二段“Get walking!(开始步行)”、第三段“The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.(步行的运动方面显然是关键)”以及最后一段“Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.(步行不仅仅是为了锻炼身体。为奇迹而走)”可知，本文主要讲的是每个人每天都在做的“走路”这件事。由此可知，A项“In fact, you probably do it every day.(事实上，你可能每天都这样做)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。
37．根据下文“A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.(斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，与坐着相比，参与者走路时的创造力提高了81%)”可知，此处上下文说的是行走和产生想法之间有联系。由此可知，F项“Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas(研究人员已经找到了行走和产生创造性的想法之间的联系)”能够衔接下文，符合语境。故选F项。
38．根据上文“Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement.(我们的创造性思维是由身体运动激发的)”可知，此处上下文说的是运动激发创造性思维。由此可知，E项“That is why walking with a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking(这就是为什么和朋友一起散步，或者独自一人散步会激发创造性思维)”能够承接上文，符合语境。故选E项。
39．根据上文“Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation (停滞), the antithesis of energy.(在室内，你更有可能陷入停滞，与活力形成对立)”以及下文“Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.(只要走出去，你就走出了你习惯的环境和舒适区，如果你想打开你的思维，接受新的可能性，这是必要的)”可知，空白处表示的含义是呆在室内会使能量陷入停滞，导致没有想象与创造。由此可知，C项“Without energy, you can’t wonder or create(没有能量，你就不能想象或创造)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。
40．根据下文“Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks.(在接下来的四周里，与周围环境更紧密地接触)”可知，本段说的是要设定目标。由此可知，D项“So why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking ( 那么，为什么不从走路开始设定一个创造性的目标呢？)”符合本段主旨，适合本段主旨句。故选D项。
第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

I love and enjoy playing the piano. So when the recital (音乐演奏会) was 41 , I was disappointed. I had expected it for long and already 42 my best songs.
However, Mom turned this 43 into something worthwhile. “You should 44 at Carriage House Manor. I’m sure the 45 there would really appreciate the music.” To me, this was a win-win situation because not only would I play more songs, but I have the chance to 46 the residents, some of whom tragically didn’t have families.
The much-anticipated day 47 arrived. Stepping into the dining area, I saw several gray-haired people seemingly enjoying a dinner and the 48 . Despite on-going conversations at tables, 49 still hung like a dark cloud in the room. After introductions, I sat down in front of the piano, butterflies in my stomach. But my 50 melted away as I played on.
The dinner hour flew by. One woman got up and began to cheerfully 51 about the room to the beat of the 52 while others snapped their fingers (打响指). I was 53 to see how music brought big smiles to their faces.
Calling off the recital was a blessing because it led to us 54 the gift of music with those who needed it most. Go spread 55 whenever possible.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国加大了保护和修复长江流域环境的政策力度，采取措施治理工农业污染物，保护草地和湿地。
56．考查介词。句意：中国加大了保护和恢复长江周边环境的政策力度，采取了一系列措施来治理工农业污染物，保护草原和湿地。分析句子可知，空格处构成固定短语put sth in place = put in place sth表示“实施，实现，把……放到合适的位置”。故填in。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：由17个中央政府部门联合发布的一份政策文件承诺，将优先采取措施，全面展示长江流域地区的保护。分析句子结构可知，设空处作后置定语修饰名词短语A policy document，A policy document与动词release构成逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填released。
58．考查副词。句意：由17个中央政府部门联合发布的一份政策文件承诺，将优先采取措施，全面展示长江流域地区的保护。修饰动词exhibit应用副词comprehensively，故填comprehensively。
59．考查形容词。句意：该政策文件遵循了政府在2020年颁布的10年长江捕鱼禁令，以应对生物多样性的下降。设空处作定语修饰名词biodiversity，应用形容词declining，表示“越来越少的、不断下降的”。故填declining。
60．考查动词时态。句意：尽管长江水质有所改善，但近年来非点源污染的增加仍是一个主要问题。分析句子可知，空格处是谓语部分，根据时间状语in recent years应使用现在完成时，主语是the rise，助动词用has，故填has emerged。
61．考查定语从句。句意：该文件强调需要一个系统的方法，这将需要建立长期机制来防止被污染水体的回归。设空处引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词a systemic approach，在从句作主语，指物，故填which。
62．考查形容词比较级。句意：污染治理是另一个优先事项，因为政府希望对化工厂排放的污染物进行更严格的控制，并提倡化肥和农药的更高的使用效率。根据上文tighter，可知此处空格应填形容词比较级，故填higher。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了恢复长江水生生物的多样性，该文件称，国家将建立一个濒危动物监测系统，并制定行动计划来拯救它们，并将做更多的工作来加强河流的连通性。分析句子可知，空格处应填不定式表示目的，“为了恢复长江水生生物多样性”，设空处位于句首，首字母大写，故填To restore。
64．考查冠词。句意：为了恢复长江水生生物的多样性，该文件称，国家将建立一个濒危动物监测系统，并制定行动计划来拯救它们，并将做更多的工作来加强河流的连通性。分析句子可知，空格处缺少冠词，此处泛指“一个行动计划”，应填不定冠词，空后action起始音是元音元素，应填不定冠词an，构成短语make an action plan表示“制定一个行动计划”。故填an。
65．考查动词时态语态。句意：为了恢复长江水生生物的多样性，该文件称，国家将建立一个濒危动物监测系统，并制定行动计划来拯救它们，并将做更多的工作来加强河流的连通性。分析句子可知，that more work _____(do) to enhance the connectivity of rivers为says的第二个宾语从句；设空处在从句中作谓语，主语work与动词do之间是被动关系，根据第一个宾语从句that the country will establish a monitoring system for endangered animals and make an action plan to save them的时态，第二个宾语从句也应用一般将来时，此处应使用一般将来时的被动语态，故填will be done。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
An awkward experience
I was walking along the road to school one day and I met my friend Raine. He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn’t afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go.
So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn’t want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking “Who And where ” loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat.
To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn’t help but overhear(偷听) their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn’t have given in to Raine’s suggestion.
注意：
1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【答案】范文
Soon the lights were turned of and the movie began. However, I didn’t enjoy the movie at all for fear of being spotted. I sank my body further into my seat, praying that they wouldn’t notice me. Every now and then I would steal glances at them. Every time they chatted in a whisper, my heart was pounding violently. Thankfully, after what seemed years, the movie came to an end and the lights came on. I waited anxiously until my aunt and uncle left the cinema. I let out a sigh of relief, dashed for the door and tried to make a quick exit with Raine.
To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling. When they called out my name, I was so embarrassed that I lowered my head with a burning face, unsure of what to do. They walked up to me and my aunt asked why I was absent from school patiently. Palms sweating, I stammered out an excuse but they seemed unconvinced. Patting my shoulder gently, my uncle promised, “We won’t tell your father but hope that you won’t skip school again.” I nodded my head in great shame. From then on, this awkward experience kept reminding me of the importance of honesty and responsibility in my life. /This experience has taught me that sometimes we need to make a tough decision to do what is right.
