II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The internet and its cultural impact are most often viewed through the lens of the “tech bro”. Biographies, and memoirs about these big-tech bosses have shaped readers’ understanding of 21 the online world changes the offline one. But these books rarely mention the principal figures who have shaped the experience of being online: social-media influencers.
Influencers—the (usually female) people behind the most popular accounts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube—have large followings, often in the hundreds of thousands or millions. People like Jackie Aina, Matilda Djerf and Molly-Mae Hague earn a living from a combination of sponsored posts, commissions 22 (make) through associate links and by creating their own brands, from fake tan to eyeshadows.
Though they shape digital culture, too often influencers 23 (dismiss) as fame-hungry celebrities, who post about the details of their lives and mindlessly promote branded products for eye-watering sums. But a new crop of books takes the influencer industry 24 (seriously) by exploring the way social media’s most popular users are reshaping the global economy and changing what the average person views online.
Taylor Lorenz, 25 technology writer for the Washington Post, is a leading voice on social-media trends and internet culture. Her book, “Extremely Online”, argues that influencers hold huge power: “Tech founders may control the source code, 26 it is users who shape the product.” Charting the history of the influencer from the 1990s to today, Ms. Lorenz argues influencers rose by making fame and luxury less “sealed off”. Like reality-TV stars, early influencers created a new, niche sort of celebrity, popular enough 27 (draw) attention but still unrecognizable to most.
Ms. Lorenz makes the case that, despite its bad rap, influencing has “given more people the chance to benefit directly from their labor than at any other time in history”, 28 (entertain) readers with stories about “mommy bloggers” turning the pain of parenthood into six-figure businesses and teens becoming multi-millionaires through short comedy skits.
Some experts estimate as much as 90% of online content could be AI-generated by 2026. 29 the number of believable posts and photos produced by AI soars, influencers will face significantly more competition for internet users’ attention. No influencer, 30 skilled they have proved to be at using the internet to gain popularity and profits in the past, is guaranteed to retain any kind of influence in the next technological transformation.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A．contributors B．publisher C． conferences D．alternatives E. chalked F. passive G. general H. inherited I. completely J. duly K. order
Textbooks
Textbooks represent an 11 billion dollar industry, up from $8 billion in 2014. Textbook publisher Pearson is the largest 31 in the world. It costs about $I million to create a new textbook. A freshman textbook will have dozens of 32 , from subject-matter experts through graphic and layout artists to expert reviewers and classroom testers. Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways that 33 , such as open e-textbooks and open educational resources, simply do not. This connection happens not only by means of collaborative development, review and testing, but also at 34 where faculty regularly decide on their textbooks and curricula for the coming year.
It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks. But this can be 35 up to the excessively high cost of their books—which has increased over 1,000 percent since 1977. A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in 36 . But this does not mean the end of the textbook itself. While they may not be as dynamic(动态的)as an iPad, textbooks are not 37 or lifeless. From 1800 to the present day, textbooks have done this by raising questions for students to answer. That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to 38 questions.
Today’s psychology texts, for example, ask: “How much of your personality do you think you 39 ” while ones in physics say: “How can you predict where the ball you threw will land ” Experts observe that “textbooks come in layers, something like an onion.” For an active learner, choosing a textbook 40 can be an interactive experience. Readers proceed at their own pace.
III. Reading Comprehension (45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
“Blame My Brain” by Nicola Morgan, reviewed by Rosalie Warren
As someone who constantly blames my brain for all sorts of things (not my fault — my brain did it!), I was 41 by the title of Nicola Morgan’s book and only slightly disappointed to learn that it was 42 teenagers. Since I have many days when I feel that I am barely out of my teens (though the mirror, sadly, does not bear this out), I decided that the book might still be relevant to me, and indeed to my relationships with my no-longer-teenage children.
The subtitle is “The amazing teenage brain revealed” and amazing is, I soon 43 , exactly what the teenage brain is. I learned that one of the things that 44 to the brain in our early teenage years is a flurry of growth of the dendrites (connections between neurons), followed a few years later by a major pruning session where many of the relatively unused connections are culled and the remaining ones are strengthened and coated with a fatty myelin layer ready for adult life. Not 45 , all this activity is not without its downside for the person “within”, and it goes along way towards 46 why teenagers can be so difficult to live with and to cope with themselves.
There are also brain-based explanations of why teenagers need so much sleep, why they don’t tidy their rooms, why they come 47 when the rest of the world is going to sleep and why some of them, at least, are risk-takers. There’s stuff about alcohol and drugs and why such things are not good for the brain, but all of it is written in a very 48 and understanding way that I think teenagers will warm to.
Nicola Morgan is not a neurologist or a 49 scientist, but she clearly had done a great deal of research and 50 experts including Professor Simon Baron-Cohen and Professor Susan Greenfield, among many other eminent names in the field. Morgan has a gift for simplifying and explaining 51 subject matter with a light but precise touch, and she is careful to 52 between established facts and theories and speculations of her own and other people’s.
There’s plenty of humour and a good few well-deserved digs at the stupidity of parents and other well-meaning but misguided adults, which teenagers will 53 . There are diagrams, tests, photos relating to questions like What emotions can you recognize Do you 54 other emotions with anger What kind of thinker are you Which mental tasks do you find comparatively easy or difficult There’s also sound advice for addiction, self-harm, depression and other 55 illnesses, and some pointers towards recognizing when you may need to seek help.
The illustrations by Andy Baker are great, too. And oh yes — there’s some interesting discussion on the differences between girls’ brains and boys’, if there are any. You’ll have to read it to find out...
41．A．attracted B．interested C．invested D．introduced
42．A．intended to B．aimed at C．targeted by D．appealed to
43．A．defended B．dismissed C．discovered D．differed
44．A．happens B．projects C．evolves D．limits

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Late one night this spring, Justin Snider was riding the No. 2 in Manhattan when the train stopped. After about 15 minutes — with little information about the delay and no cell service — everyone in the car was getting restless. Suddenly, an inspiration struck. “I asked neighboring passengers if they wanted to hear some Shakespeare, and no one objected,” Mr. Snider said.
He had memorized Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” speech more than 15 years earlier to pass the time on a cross-country bike trip.
“I was definitely nervous because I’d never performed publicly before,” he said. Although his tired audience neglected to clap when he finished — they did applaud when the train started to move again — Mr. Snider was pleased that he didn’t forget a line.
Since ancient times, humans have memorized and recited poetry. Before the invention of writing, the only way to process a poem was to memorize it. Yet poetry memorization has become an outdated practice that many teachers and parents — not to mention students — consider too boring, mindless and just simply difficult for the modern classroom. Besides, who needs to memorize poetry when our smartphones can instantly call up nearly any published poem in the universe
In fact, the value of learning literature by heart — particularly poetry — has only grown. All of us struggle with reducing attention spans and a public sphere (领域) that is becoming a literary wasteland, without complex language or expressions of empathy beyond one’s own online chat bubble (聊天气泡).
Rimbaud once wrote :“The lindens smell good in the good June evenings! At times the air is so scented that we close our eyes.” “He wrote that poem when he was young, and he was talking about love. I related to him,” said Ms. Huggins, the winner of the national Poetry Out Loud contest, who recited Rimbaud’s Novel. “Reciting a poem will greatly help you express what you’re trying to say.”
It’s time for us to show we care about words again to rebuild our connection to human civilization so much broader than social media feeds.
56．Why did Justin Snider offer to recite Shakespeare
A．To show off his good memory.
B．To kill time on a delayed train.
C．To inspire passengers to learn poems.
D．To practice making a speech in public.
57．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A．Reciting poems isn’t a trend any more.
B．Modern students need poetry memorization.
C．Owning a poem is to store it in our smart phones.
D．The appearance of writing promotes poetry reciting.
58．What does Ms. Huggins think of reciting poetry
A．It can be a highly expressive act.
B．It is a matter of hard working practice.
C．It is a way to show empathy for others.
D．It can connect you with human civilization.
59．What is the author’s attitude to memorizing poems
A．Objective. B．Unclear.
C．Casual. D．Supportive.
B

People around the world take celebrating seriously, and many of them are willing to go to great effort and expense to plan and participate in public celebrations.
Exactly when and where human beings began coming together in public to celebrate as a group can date back to hunter-gatherer societies, when success in the never-ending search for food, clothing, and shelter must have aroused the need to celebrate together.
Besides the need for food and survival, there are records of religious parades dating back to 3000 B．C． Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays. The New York Times of October 28, 1917, summed it up by saying, “If you take the parades out of history, you have precious little history left.”
Of course, many modern celebrations are not connected to any religion. In the Internet era, electronic communication makes it possible to organize celebrations almost instantly. “Flash mobs” are a new way of gathering and celebrating. Secretly planned online, they bring together tens, hundreds, or thousands of individuals to perform some unusual or funny act in a public place. Flash mobs not only reflect the increased speed of communication but also a lighter attitude to celebration. No longer is public celebrating something necessarily linked to human survival, religion, or deep traditions.
This does not mean, however, that modern celebrations are not socially conscious. One striking image inspiring community spirit is Edwards’ photograph of crowds in Australia, who were gathering in the rain for a music festival to raise funds for wildfire relief. Throughout history, across countries and cultures, celebrations are always worth significant amount of time and money spent planning, preparing, organizing, and carrying out an event. The priority given to celebrating seems to put it alongside food, shelter, love, and freedom as a basic need of humanity.
63．According to the passage, which one of the following events can make celebrations happen
A．A business has made a huge profit. B．It has been sunny for a week.
C．Farmers harvest in the autumn. D．A new museum opens in the city center.
64．What does the underlined sentence (paragraph 3) imply
A．If there is no parade, human history will be more precious.
B．Students should be taught the importance of parades in history class.
C．Only parades can be recorded in history books.
D．Many significant historic moments featured a parade.
65．Which of the following best describes a flash mob
A．Four strangers meet at a concert and then decide to perform together in a public square.
B．Someone announces openly a series of performances to take place at school.
C．An online group plans and performs a dance in a crowded train station.
D．The number of people watching a street performer grows to several hundred.
66．Which of these is the best title for the passage
A．Why We Celebrate B．Celebration and Social Responsibility
C．Planning a Parade D．The Origin of Celebration
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.What Makes a Nobel Laureate
Are there any predictors that point to who will be selected as Nobel laureates
Is brilliance in childhood a predictor When the 2006 chemistry laureate, Roger Kornberg, was asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said, “A week in the lab.” 67 . Mario Capecchi (medicine, 2007) was an abandoned child on the streets of wartime Italy.
68 . Five of Enrico Fermi’s (physics, 1938) postdoctoral students went on to win the Nobel Prize. Otto Warburg (medicine, 1931) advised an American doctoral student, “If you wish to become a scientist, you must ask a successful scientist to accept you in his laboratory.”
Experts often recommend that people specialize in one field of work or research to maximize their chances of success. 69 If you look at the careers of Nobel Prize winners, you’ll find that they are unusually likely to be “creative polymaths.” That is, they purposely integrate formal and informal expertise from widely varied disciplines to yield new and useful ideas and practices.
There remains one quality that is essential. It is what Leon Lederman (physics, 1988) called “compulsive dedication.” 70 . Take Marie Curie (physics, 1903; chemistry, 1911) and her husband Pierre (physics, 1903). The Curies were assigned a shed with a leaking roof and a dirt floor, where they worked for years, freezing in winter and sweltering in summer. “And yet,” Marie Curie wrote in her biography of her husband, “it was in this miserable old shed that the best and happiest years of our life were spent, entirely dedicated to work.”
A．What distinguishes Nobel laureates is passion for their work, work that engages their hearts as well as their heads. B．But early privilege is not essential. C．The typical Nobel laureate in science is a male born into a middle-class family. D．In many Nobel laureates’ autobiographies, they pay tribute to an outstanding mentor. E．In fact, Nobel laureates are mostly down-to-earth and discreet. F．Yet recently published researches indicate that successful innovators take a broader path.
IV. Summary （10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Sport Tourism
Tourism is the world’s largest industry and is predicted to grow well into the years to come. Increasingly, the economic importance of tourism has been recognized by governments around the world. At the same time, the tourism industry has become more complicated in its development and marketing new forms of tourism. One of the fastest growing parts of the tourism industry is travel related to sport and physical activity. A recent survey found that while the traditional beach and sight-seeing vacations continue to predominate, 22% of those surveyed reported that opportunities to participate in sports were important when selecting a vacation.
The term sport tourism has been adopted in recent years to describe sport-related leisure travel. It is generally recognized that there are three broad categories of sport tourism. The first category, watching sporting events or Sports Event Tourism includes hallmark events such as FIFA World Cup Football Championships, and the Olympic games. Tournament sponsored by the Professional Golf Association or the World Tennis Association are also part of the spectator-centered sector of sport tourism.
The second type of sport tourism, celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism involves visiting famous sports-related attractions. Visits of the sports halls of fame fall into this category. Another form of celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism that has emerged in recent years is meeting famous sports personalities. The cruise industry has been experienced in this area. Sports theme cruise such as “the NBA basketball cruise” arrange for passengers to meet personalities from sports while on board.
Active participation is the third category of sports tourism. This is composed of individuals who travel to participate in golf, skiing, and tennis in particular, although other sports such as fishing, and scuba diving are popular in the US.

【原文】
Linda was running late. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Linda felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank and his girlfriend, Jennifer, were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But then they heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh my god, she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you!” His girlfriend screamed after him.
By the time Frank reached Linda, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. It was hard to lift her. But he managed to raise her to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge.

11.What was the most probable cause for Linda’s weakness

【原文】
Good evening! Now, I know many of you are excited about the idea of getting paid to travel the world and see the sights. But remember, traveling isn’t all fun and games. It is hard work too. I remember when I was in Egypt to look at the pyramids. Now, of course they are fascinating — they are over 4,000 years old — but remember, Egypt is mostly desert and the temperature is often over forty-five degrees! So, the weather can be a problem.
And several years later, I was traveling down the Yangtze River in China with some photographers, and we constantly had engine trouble with our boat, so we couldn’t steer along the 6,380-kilometer river. Instead, we had to abandon our journey after just 2,150, which was a major disappointment.
The last journey I want to tell you about was the most rewarding. We went to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. We backpacked for seventeen days through the jungles of Venezuela to get there. But when they finally came into view, with their breathtaking drop of 807 meters, it was incredible! So, remember, being a travel writer may sound like an amazing career, and it is certainly rewarding, but you have to be prepared for every possibility!
Questions:
18. What forced the speaker to stop his journey down the Yangtze River
19. What does the speaker think of his job
320. What might be the speaker’s career
II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The internet and its cultural impact are most often viewed through the lens of the “tech bro”. Biographies, and memoirs about these big-tech bosses have shaped readers’ understanding of 21 the online world changes the offline one. But these books rarely mention the principal figures who have shaped the experience of being online: social-media influencers.
Influencers—the (usually female) people behind the most popular accounts on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube—have large followings, often in the hundreds of thousands or millions. People like Jackie Aina, Matilda Djerf and Molly-Mae Hague earn a living from a combination of sponsored posts, commissions 22 (make) through associate links and by creating their own brands, from fake tan to eyeshadows.
Though they shape digital culture, too often influencers 23 (dismiss) as fame-hungry celebrities, who post about the details of their lives and mindlessly promote branded products for eye-watering sums. But a new crop of books takes the influencer industry 24 (seriously) by exploring the way social media’s most popular users are reshaping the global economy and changing what the average person views online.
Taylor Lorenz, 25 technology writer for the Washington Post, is a leading voice on social-media trends and internet culture. Her book, “Extremely Online”, argues that influencers hold huge power: “Tech founders may control the source code, 26 it is users who shape the product.” Charting the history of the influencer from the 1990s to today, Ms. Lorenz argues influencers rose by making fame and luxury less “sealed off”. Like reality-TV stars, early influencers created a new, niche sort of celebrity, popular enough 27 (draw) attention but still unrecognizable to most.
Ms. Lorenz makes the case that, despite its bad rap, influencing has “given more people the chance to benefit directly from their labor than at any other time in history”, 28 (entertain) readers with stories about “mommy bloggers” turning the pain of parenthood into six-figure businesses and teens becoming multi-millionaires through short comedy skits.
Some experts estimate as much as 90% of online content could be AI-generated by 2026. 29 the number of believable posts and photos produced by AI soars, influencers will face significantly more competition for internet users’ attention. No influencer, 30 skilled they have proved to be at using the internet to gain popularity and profits in the past, is guaranteed to retain any kind of influence in the next technological transformation.

21．how 22．made 23．are dismissed 24．more seriously 25．a 26．but 27．to draw 28．entertaining 29．As 30．no matter how
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了社交媒体影响者（即网红）在互联网文化中的重要性和影响。
21．考查宾语从句。句意：这些科技巨头的传记和回忆录塑造了读者对网络世界如何改变线下世界的理解。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，从句中结构完整，用连接副词引导，根据句意，表达“如何”之意，用how。故填how。
22．考查非谓语动词。句意：像Jackie Aina、Matilda Djerf和Molly-Mae Hague这样的人通过赞助帖子、通过关联链接获得的佣金以及创建自己的品牌(从晒黑产品到眼影)来谋生。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词earn，所以make用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语commissions之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填made。
23．考查动词时态和语态。句意：尽管网红塑造了数字文化，但他们往往被视为渴望名利的名人，他们在网上晒自己的生活细节，盲目地推销品牌产品，赚取令人瞠目结舌的收入。分析句子结构可知，dismiss作本句谓语，和主语influencers之间是被动关系，用被动语态，描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时。故填are dismissed。
24．考查副词。句意：不过，有一批新书更认真地看待网红行业，探讨了社交媒体上最受欢迎的用户如何重塑全球经济，以及如何改变普通人的网络观点。空处修饰空前的动词，用副词修饰，根据句意，此处表达“更认真地”之意，用比较级。故填more seriously。
25．考查冠词。句意：泰勒·洛伦兹是《华盛顿邮报》的科技作家，是社交媒体趋势和互联网文化方面的领军人物。writer意为“作家”，为可数名词，句中用的单数，前应用不定冠词修饰，technology是辅音音素开头，用a修饰。故填a。
26．考查连词。句意：她的书《极度在线》认为，影响者拥有巨大的权力：“科技创始人可能控制着源代码，但塑造产品的是用户。”根据前文“Tech founders may control the source code”以及后文“it is users who shape the product.”可知，两句是转折关系，用but连接。故填but。
27．考查非谓语动词。句意：像真人秀明星一样，早期的网红创造了一种新的、小众的名人，他们足够受欢迎，可以吸引注意力，但大多数人仍然认不出来。此处是固定搭配：enough to do sth.意为“足以做某事”。故填to draw。
28．考查非谓语动词。句意：洛伦兹认为，尽管名声不好，但影响力“让更多的人有机会从自己的劳动中直接受益，这是历史上任何时候都没有的”，她用一些故事来娱乐读者，比如“妈咪博主”把为人父母的痛苦变成了六位数的生意，以及青少年通过喜剧小品成为千万富翁。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词makes，所以entertain用非谓语动词，和逻辑主语Ms. Lorenz之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填entertaining。
29．考查时间状语从句。句意：随着人工智能制作的可信帖子和照片数量激增，网红们将面临更大的竞争，以吸引网民的注意力。分析句子结构可知，空处引导状语从句，根据句意，表达“随着”之意，应用as引导的时间状语从句，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填As。

Textbooks
Textbooks represent an 11 billion dollar industry, up from $8 billion in 2014. Textbook publisher Pearson is the largest 31 in the world. It costs about $I million to create a new textbook. A freshman textbook will have dozens of 32 , from subject-matter experts through graphic and layout artists to expert reviewers and classroom testers. Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways that 33 , such as open e-textbooks and open educational resources, simply do not. This connection happens not only by means of collaborative development, review and testing, but also at 34 where faculty regularly decide on their textbooks and curricula for the coming year.
It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks. But this can be 35 up to the excessively high cost of their books—which has increased over 1,000 percent since 1977. A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in 36 . But this does not mean the end of the textbook itself. While they may not be as dynamic(动态的)as an iPad, textbooks are not 37 or lifeless. From 1800 to the present day, textbooks have done this by raising questions for students to answer. That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to 38 questions.
Today’s psychology texts, for example, ask: “How much of your personality do you think you 39 ” while ones in physics say: “How can you predict where the ball you threw will land ” Experts observe that “textbooks come in layers, something like an onion.” For an active learner, choosing a textbook 40 can be an interactive experience. Readers proceed at their own pace.

“Blame My Brain” by Nicola Morgan, reviewed by Rosalie Warren
As someone who constantly blames my brain for all sorts of things (not my fault — my brain did it!), I was 41 by the title of Nicola Morgan’s book and only slightly disappointed to learn that it was 42 teenagers. Since I have many days when I feel that I am barely out of my teens (though the mirror, sadly, does not bear this out), I decided that the book might still be relevant to me, and indeed to my relationships with my no-longer-teenage children.
The subtitle is “The amazing teenage brain revealed” and amazing is, I soon 43 , exactly what the teenage brain is. I learned that one of the things that 44 to the brain in our early teenage years is a flurry of growth of the dendrites (connections between neurons), followed a few years later by a major pruning session where many of the relatively unused connections are culled and the remaining ones are strengthened and coated with a fatty myelin layer ready for adult life. Not 45 , all this activity is not without its downside for the person “within”, and it goes along way towards 46 why teenagers can be so difficult to live with and to cope with themselves.
There are also brain-based explanations of why teenagers need so much sleep, why they don’t tidy their rooms, why they come 47 when the rest of the world is going to sleep and why some of them, at least, are risk-takers. There’s stuff about alcohol and drugs and why such things are not good for the brain, but all of it is written in a very 48 and understanding way that I think teenagers will warm to.
Nicola Morgan is not a neurologist or a 49 scientist, but she clearly had done a great deal of research and 50 experts including Professor Simon Baron-Cohen and Professor Susan Greenfield, among many other eminent names in the field. Morgan has a gift for simplifying and explaining 51 subject matter with a light but precise touch, and she is careful to 52 between established facts and theories and speculations of her own and other people’s.
There’s plenty of humour and a good few well-deserved digs at the stupidity of parents and other well-meaning but misguided adults, which teenagers will 53 . There are diagrams, tests, photos relating to questions like What emotions can you recognize Do you 54 other emotions with anger What kind of thinker are you Which mental tasks do you find comparatively easy or difficult There’s also sound advice for addiction, self-harm, depression and other 55 illnesses, and some pointers towards recognizing when you may need to seek help.
The illustrations by Andy Baker are great, too. And oh yes — there’s some interesting discussion on the differences between girls’ brains and boys’, if there are any. You’ll have to read it to find out...

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Late one night this spring, Justin Snider was riding the No. 2 in Manhattan when the train stopped. After about 15 minutes — with little information about the delay and no cell service — everyone in the car was getting restless. Suddenly, an inspiration struck. “I asked neighboring passengers if they wanted to hear some Shakespeare, and no one objected,” Mr. Snider said.
He had memorized Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” speech more than 15 years earlier to pass the time on a cross-country bike trip.
“I was definitely nervous because I’d never performed publicly before,” he said. Although his tired audience neglected to clap when he finished — they did applaud when the train started to move again — Mr. Snider was pleased that he didn’t forget a line.
Since ancient times, humans have memorized and recited poetry. Before the invention of writing, the only way to process a poem was to memorize it. Yet poetry memorization has become an outdated practice that many teachers and parents — not to mention students — consider too boring, mindless and just simply difficult for the modern classroom. Besides, who needs to memorize poetry when our smartphones can instantly call up nearly any published poem in the universe
In fact, the value of learning literature by heart — particularly poetry — has only grown. All of us struggle with reducing attention spans and a public sphere (领域) that is becoming a literary wasteland, without complex language or expressions of empathy beyond one’s own online chat bubble (聊天气泡).
Rimbaud once wrote :“The lindens smell good in the good June evenings! At times the air is so scented that we close our eyes.” “He wrote that poem when he was young, and he was talking about love. I related to him,” said Ms. Huggins, the winner of the national Poetry Out Loud contest, who recited Rimbaud’s Novel. “Reciting a poem will greatly help you express what you’re trying to say.”
It’s time for us to show we care about words again to rebuild our connection to human civilization so much broader than social media feeds.
56．Why did Justin Snider offer to recite Shakespeare
A．To show off his good memory.
B．To kill time on a delayed train.
C．To inspire passengers to learn poems.
D．To practice making a speech in public.
57．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph
A．Reciting poems isn’t a trend any more.
B．Modern students need poetry memorization.
C．Owning a poem is to store it in our smart phones.
D．The appearance of writing promotes poetry reciting.
58．What does Ms. Huggins think of reciting poetry
A．It can be a highly expressive act.
B．It is a matter of hard working practice.
C．It is a way to show empathy for others.
D．It can connect you with human civilization.
59．What is the author’s attitude to memorizing poems
A．Objective. B．Unclear.
C．Casual. D．Supportive.
【答案】56．B 57．A 58．A 59．D
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者借Justin Snider 的经历，说明了背诵经典诗歌的好处。
56．推理判断题。根据第一段“Late one night this spring, Justin Snider was riding the No. 2 in Manhattan when the train stopped. After about 15 minutes — with little information about the delay and no cell service — everyone in the car was getting restless. Suddenly, an inspiration struck. “I asked neighboring passengers if they wanted to hear some Shakespeare, and no one objected,” Mr. Snider said.(今年春天的一个深夜，贾斯汀·斯奈德(Justin snyder)正在曼哈顿乘坐2号车，突然火车停了下来。大约15分钟后——几乎没有任何关于延迟的信息，也没有手机信号——车里的每个人都开始坐立不安。突然，一个灵感来了。“我问旁边的乘客是否想听一些莎士比亚的作品，没有人反对，”斯奈德说)”可知，Justin Snider主动提出背诵莎士比亚的作品是突然产生的灵感，是为了打发火车停车的无聊时间。故选B项。
57．细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“Yet poetry memorization has become an outdated practice that many teachers and parents — not to mention students — consider too boring, mindless and just simply difficult for the modern classroom. (然而，背诵诗歌已经成为一种过时的做法，许多老师和家长——更不用说学生了——认为这太无聊，太无脑，对现代课堂来说太难了。)”可知,背诵诗歌已经不再流行了。故选A项。
58．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Ms. Huggins 所说的话（最后一句）““Reciting a poem will greatly help you express what you’re trying to say.”(“背诵一首诗将极大地帮助你表达你想说的东西。”)”可知，她认为背诵诗歌有助于表达自己的想法。故选A项。
59．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s time for us to show we care about words again to rebuild our connection to human civilization so much broader than social media feeds.(是时候再次展示我们对文字的关注，重建我们与人类文明的联系，而不仅仅是社交媒体订阅)”可知，作者认为背诵诗歌能重建我们与人类文明的联系，所以作者对此应是持支持的态度。故选D项。

C
People around the world take celebrating seriously, and many of them are willing to go to great effort and expense to plan and participate in public celebrations.
Exactly when and where human beings began coming together in public to celebrate as a group can date back to hunter-gatherer societies, when success in the never-ending search for food, clothing, and shelter must have aroused the need to celebrate together.
Besides the need for food and survival, there are records of religious parades dating back to 3000 B．C． Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays. The New York Times of October 28, 1917, summed it up by saying, “If you take the parades out of history, you have precious little history left.”
Of course, many modern celebrations are not connected to any religion. In the Internet era, electronic communication makes it possible to organize celebrations almost instantly. “Flash mobs” are a new way of gathering and celebrating. Secretly planned online, they bring together tens, hundreds, or thousands of individuals to perform some unusual or funny act in a public place. Flash mobs not only reflect the increased speed of communication but also a lighter attitude to celebration. No longer is public celebrating something necessarily linked to human survival, religion, or deep traditions.
This does not mean, however, that modern celebrations are not socially conscious. One striking image inspiring community spirit is Edwards’ photograph of crowds in Australia, who were gathering in the rain for a music festival to raise funds for wildfire relief. Throughout history, across countries and cultures, celebrations are always worth significant amount of time and money spent planning, preparing, organizing, and carrying out an event. The priority given to celebrating seems to put it alongside food, shelter, love, and freedom as a basic need of humanity.
63．According to the passage, which one of the following events can make celebrations happen
A．A business has made a huge profit. B．It has been sunny for a week.
C．Farmers harvest in the autumn. D．A new museum opens in the city center.
64．What does the underlined sentence (paragraph 3) imply
A．If there is no parade, human history will be more precious.
B．Students should be taught the importance of parades in history class.
C．Only parades can be recorded in history books.
D．Many significant historic moments featured a parade.
65．Which of the following best describes a flash mob
A．Four strangers meet at a concert and then decide to perform together in a public square.
B．Someone announces openly a series of performances to take place at school.
C．An online group plans and performs a dance in a crowded train station.
D．The number of people watching a street performer grows to several hundred.
66．Which of these is the best title for the passage
A．Why We Celebrate B．Celebration and Social Responsibility
C．Planning a Parade D．The Origin of Celebration
【答案】63．C 64．D 65．C 66．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了古代和现在人们举行庆祝活动的原因以及一些庆祝活动方式。
63．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Exactly when and where human beings began coming together in public to celebrate as a group can date back to hunter-gatherer societies, when success in the never-ending search for food, clothing, and shelter must have aroused the need to celebrate together. (确切地说，人类作为一个群体在何时何地开始在公共场合聚在一起庆祝，这可以追溯到狩猎采集社会，当时在永无止境地寻找食物、衣服和住所方面的成功一定引起了共同庆祝的需要。)”可知，人类作为一个全体开始在公共场合聚集在一起庆祝可以追溯到狩猎采集社会，成功找到食物、住所时人们就会聚在一起庆祝；由此推知，当农民在秋天收获时就会举行庆祝活动。故选C。
64．推理判断题。根据第三段中划线句上文“Besides the need for food and survival, there are records of religious parades dating back to 3000 B.C. Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays. (除了食物和生存的需要，还有可以追溯到公元前3000年的宗教游行记录。游行也被用来展示军事力量和庆祝军事胜利；为吸引顾客参加马戏表演等活动向公众提供娱乐体验；或者庆祝民族联系和节日。)”可知，游行有着非常悠久的历史，公元前3000年就有宗教游行的记录，且许多场合都会有游行活动，它涉及到各个方面，如军事、娱乐、庆祝民族联系和节日等；由此可知，游行有着非常悠久的历史，许多重要的历史时刻都会有游行活动。由划线词所在句“The New York Times of October 28, 1917, summed it up by saying, “If you take the parades out of history, you have precious little history left.”(1917年10月28日的《纽约时报》总结道：‘If you take the parades out of history, you have precious little history left.’)”通过引用1917年10月28日《纽约时报》中的一句话“如果你把游行从历史中剔除，那么你的历史就所剩无几了。”进一步说明在人类历史中重要的时刻都会有游行活动。故选D。
65．细节理解题。根据第四段中““Flash mobs” are a new way of gathering and celebrating. Secretly planned online, they bring together tens, hundreds, or thousands of individuals to perform some unusual or funny act in a public place. (‘快闪族’是一种新的聚会和庆祝方式。他们在网上秘密策划，将数十人、数百人或数千人聚集在一起，在公共场所表演一些不寻常或有趣的行为。)”可知，“快闪族”是一个在网上进行策划，在约定好的公共场所聚集并表演一些不寻常或有趣的行为的网络群体；C选项“An online group plans and performs a dance in a crowded train station.(一个网络团体策划并在拥挤的火车站表演了一场舞蹈。)”最能描述“快闪族”。故选C。
66．主旨大意题。文章第一段“People around the world take celebrating seriously, and many of them are willing to go to great effort and expense to plan and participate in public celebrations.(世界各地的人们都很重视庆祝活动，他们中的许多人都愿意付出巨大的努力和费用来计划和参与公共庆祝活动。)”指出世界各地的人们都很重视庆祝活动，愿意付出巨大的努力和费用来计划和参与公共庆祝活动；结合第三段中“Besides the need for food and survival, there are records of religious parades dating back to 3000 B.C. Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays. (除了食物和生存的需要，还有可以追溯到公元前3000年的宗教游行记录。游行也被用来展示军事力量和庆祝军事胜利；为吸引顾客参加马戏表演等活动向公众提供娱乐体验；或者庆祝民族联系和节日。)”以及第五段中“This does not mean, however, that modern celebrations are not socially conscious. One striking image inspiring community spirit is Edwards’ photograph of crowds in Australia, who were gathering in the rain for a music festival to raise funds for wildfire relief.(然而，这并不意味着现代庆祝活动没有社会意识。爱德华兹拍摄的澳大利亚人群在雨中聚集在一起，参加一个音乐节，为野火救援筹集资金，这是一张激发社区精神的引人注目的照片。)”可知，本文主要阐述了在古代和现在人们都会付出巨大的努力和费用来举行庆祝活动的原因；A选项“Why We Celebrate(我们为什么要庆祝)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A。
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
What Makes a Nobel Laureate
Are there any predictors that point to who will be selected as Nobel laureates
Is brilliance in childhood a predictor When the 2006 chemistry laureate, Roger Kornberg, was asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said, “A week in the lab.” 67 . Mario Capecchi (medicine, 2007) was an abandoned child on the streets of wartime Italy.
68 . Five of Enrico Fermi’s (physics, 1938) postdoctoral students went on to win the Nobel Prize. Otto Warburg (medicine, 1931) advised an American doctoral student, “If you wish to become a scientist, you must ask a successful scientist to accept you in his laboratory.”
Experts often recommend that people specialize in one field of work or research to maximize their chances of success. 69 If you look at the careers of Nobel Prize winners, you’ll find that they are unusually likely to be “creative polymaths.” That is, they purposely integrate formal and informal expertise from widely varied disciplines to yield new and useful ideas and practices.
There remains one quality that is essential. It is what Leon Lederman (physics, 1988) called “compulsive dedication.” 70 . Take Marie Curie (physics, 1903; chemistry, 1911) and her husband Pierre (physics, 1903). The Curies were assigned a shed with a leaking roof and a dirt floor, where they worked for years, freezing in winter and sweltering in summer. “And yet,” Marie Curie wrote in her biography of her husband, “it was in this miserable old shed that the best and happiest years of our life were spent, entirely dedicated to work.”
A．What distinguishes Nobel laureates is passion for their work, work that engages their hearts as well as their heads. B．But early privilege is not essential. C．The typical Nobel laureate in science is a male born into a middle-class family. D．In many Nobel laureates’ autobiographies, they pay tribute to an outstanding mentor. E．In fact, Nobel laureates are mostly down-to-earth and discreet. F．Yet recently published researches indicate that successful innovators take a broader path.
【答案】67．B 68．D 69．F 70．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就得诺贝尔奖的条件展开说明，列举了诺贝尔奖得主的一些特性。
67．根据上文“Is brilliance in childhood a predictor When the 2006 chemistry laureate, Roger Kornberg, was asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said, “A week in the lab.”(童年时期的聪明才智是一种预测因素吗？当2006年化学奖得主罗杰·科恩伯格被问到他想要什么圣诞礼物时，他说：“在实验室里呆上一周。”)”以及后文“Mario Capecchi (medicine, 2007) was an abandoned child on the streets of wartime Italy.(马里奥·卡佩基（医学，2007）是战时意大利街头的一个被遗弃的孩子)”可知，后文马里奥·卡佩基的例子表明，小时候是个被遗弃的孩子，从而说明了小时候环境优越并不是可以预测得诺贝尔奖的因素，本句与上文构成转折关系。故B选项“但是早期特权不是必要的”符合语境，故选B。
68．根据后文“Five of Enrico Fermi’s (physics, 1938) postdoctoral students went on to win the Nobel Prize. Otto Warburg (medicine, 1931) advised an American doctoral student, “If you wish to become a scientist, you must ask a successful scientist to accept you in his laboratory.”(恩里科·费米（物理学，1938年）的五个博士后学生后来获得了诺贝尔奖。Otto Warburg（医学，1931年）对一位美国博士生说：“如果你想成为一名科学家，你必须让一位成功的科学家接受你进入他的实验室。”)”可知，后文提到恩里科·费米（物理学，1938年）的五个博士后学生后来获得了诺贝尔奖，即可推知恩里科·费米是这五个诺贝尔奖得主的导师。故D选项“在许多诺贝尔奖得主的自传中，他们赞扬一位杰出的导师”符合语境，故选D。
69．根据上文“Experts often recommend that people specialize in one field of work or research to maximize their chances of success.(专家们经常建议人们专注于一个领域的工作或研究，以最大限度地提高他们成功的机会)”以及后文“If you look at the careers of Nobel Prize winners, you’ll find that they are unusually likely to be “creative polymaths.” That is, they purposely integrate formal and informal expertise from widely varied disciplines to yield new and useful ideas and practices.(如果你看看诺贝尔奖得主的职业生涯，你会发现他们非常有可能是“有创造力的博学家”。也就是说，他们有意地整合来自广泛不同学科的正式和非正式的专业知识，以产生新的和有用的想法和实践)”可知，后文提到诺贝尔奖得主整合来自广泛不同学科的专业知识。由此可知，本句与上文专注于一个领域的工作或研究构成转折，指出要多方面发展。故F选项“然而，最近发表的研究表明，成功的创新者走的是更广阔的道路”符合语境，故选F。
70．根据后文“Take Marie Curie (physics, 1903; chemistry, 1911) and her husband Pierre (physics, 1903). The Curies were assigned a shed with a leaking roof and a dirt floor, where they worked for years, freezing in winter and sweltering in summer. “And yet,” Marie Curie wrote in her biography of her husband, “it was in this miserable old shed that the best and happiest years of our life were spent, entirely dedicated to work.”(比如玛丽·居里（物理学，1903年;化学，1911）和她的丈夫皮埃尔（物理学，1903）。居里夫妇被分配到一个屋顶漏水、地面肮脏的棚子里，他们在那里工作了好几年，冬天冻得要命，夏天闷热难耐。“然而，”玛丽·居里在她丈夫的传记中写道，“我们一生中最美好的、最快乐的时光，就是在这个悲惨的老棚子里度过的，我们把全部精力都投入到了工作中。”)”可知，后文居里夫人和丈夫的例子表明，他们把全部精力都投入到了工作中，对工作充满热情。故A选项“诺贝尔奖得主的与众不同之处在于他们对工作的热情，这种工作既投入了他们的头脑，也投入了他们的心灵”符合语境，故选A。
IV. Summary （10分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Sport Tourism
Tourism is the world’s largest industry and is predicted to grow well into the years to come. Increasingly, the economic importance of tourism has been recognized by governments around the world. At the same time, the tourism industry has become more complicated in its development and marketing new forms of tourism. One of the fastest growing parts of the tourism industry is travel related to sport and physical activity. A recent survey found that while the traditional beach and sight-seeing vacations continue to predominate, 22% of those surveyed reported that opportunities to participate in sports were important when selecting a vacation.
The term sport tourism has been adopted in recent years to describe sport-related leisure travel. It is generally recognized that there are three broad categories of sport tourism. The first category, watching sporting events or Sports Event Tourism includes hallmark events such as FIFA World Cup Football Championships, and the Olympic games. Tournament sponsored by the Professional Golf Association or the World Tennis Association are also part of the spectator-centered sector of sport tourism.
The second type of sport tourism, celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism involves visiting famous sports-related attractions. Visits of the sports halls of fame fall into this category. Another form of celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism that has emerged in recent years is meeting famous sports personalities. The cruise industry has been experienced in this area. Sports theme cruise such as “the NBA basketball cruise” arrange for passengers to meet personalities from sports while on board.
Active participation is the third category of sports tourism. This is composed of individuals who travel to participate in golf, skiing, and tennis in particular, although other sports such as fishing, and scuba diving are popular in the US.

V. Translation （15分）
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
72. 能接触到多种资源让学生们开拓了眼界。(access)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Having access to various resources has broadened students’ horizons.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、动词和时态。句子陈述过去的动过造成的影响，用现在完成时；“能接触，能使用”表达为have access to，此处作主语，用其动名词形式；“各种各样的资源”表达为various resources，作介词to的宾语；“拓展”表达为broaden，作谓语，用现在完成时；“学生的眼界”表达为students’ horizons，作broaden的宾语。综上，故翻译为Having access to various resources has broadened students’ horizons.
73. 虽然物理学家们进行了无数次尝试，但这个谜团直到最近才被解开。(remain)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The mystery remained unsolved until recently, despite the countless attempts made by physicists.
【解析】
【详解】考查系动词的用法和一般过去时。系动词remain意为“保持，仍然是”，根据句意“直到最近才被解开”可知，此处可将句意转化成“一直没有被解开直到最近”，且事情发生在过去，所以翻译为“remained unsolved until recently”。表示“虽然”可用despite，其后跟名词词组the countless attempts“无数次尝试”，其后用“物理学家们进行的”作attempts的后置定语，此处表被动，所以用过去分词，即 made by physicists。综上，状语部分译为despite the countless attempts made by physicists。再结合其它句意，故翻译为The mystery remained unsolved until recently, despite the countless attempts made by physicists.
74. 适当的放松一下自己有助于你提高学习效率，不要老是为此感到内疚。(guilty)
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Relaxing yourself appropriately can help you improve your learning efficiency. Don't always feel guilty about it.
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词和固定短语。根据句意可知，要把句子翻译成两个句子，“适当的放松”翻译成动名词短语relaxing yourself appropriately，做主语，情态can后接help构成谓语，help sb do sth，提高学习效率翻译为improve your learning efficiency。不要老是为此感到内疚翻译为祈使句的否定形式，对......感到内疚为feel guilty about。故翻译为：Relaxing yourself appropriately can help you improve your learning efficiency. Don't always feel guilty about it。
75. 多亏了政府提出的有利于保护环境的建议，濒临灭绝的野生动物的数量翻了不止一翻。（double）
_________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Thanks to the eco-friendly suggestions put forward by the government, the number of wild animals that are threatened with extinction is more than doubled.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态语态和定语从句。“多亏”表达为thanks to，“提出”表达为put forward，“有利于保护环境的建议”表达为the eco-friendly suggestions，“政府提出的”处理为修饰“建议”的后置定语，suggestions和put forward是被动关系，“野生动物的数量”表达为 the number of wild animals，“翻了不止一番”是主句谓语动词，表达为be more than doubled，“濒临灭绝的”可处理为修饰number的定语从句，从句缺少主语可用that引导，表达为that are threatened with extinction。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为Thanks to the eco-friendly suggestions put forward by the government, the number of wild animals that are threatened with extinction is more than doubled.
