As the lyrics to Taylor Swifs hit song “Bad Blood” go: “Cause, baby, now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love.” It'’s a song about falling out of friendship, but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old, Barnard was diagnosed with Diamon Blackfin Anemia, or DBA, and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植)and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,” she said. “So, so far we've tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.”
After a 9-year wait, Bamard got her own match —through her own foundation. But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid. The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma. She received surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was dificult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “My survival instinct just kicked in. I was trying to do anything that I could to survive. So, of course, it was scary but in my mind, I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister's future weddings. I wanted to play games and run again,” she said.
Her survival instinct-combined with Taylor Swift helped her through her operation, where doctors cut her cancer out, and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.
41. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift's song “Bad Blood”
A. To stress the power of music.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To show Taylor Swift’s popularity.
D. To state Taylor Swift’s song is a hit.
42. What is Hallie Barnard’s original motivation for creating Hallie's Heroes
A. To raise money for her heroes.
B. To treat her rare blood disorder.
C. To help other children with DBA.
D. To have an operation for her cancer.
43. What does the underlined phrase “kicked in” in paragraph 5 mean
A. begin to play a role B. disappear
C. speed up D. break down
44. Which of the following can best describe Hallie Barnard
A. Strong-minded and selfish B. Hard-working and patient.
C. Kind and optimistic. D. Outgoing and helpful.
45. What's the best title for the text
A. ‘Bad Blood’ Inspired More People
B. Hallie's Heroes: a Useful Foundation
C. Taylor Swift: a Popular Singer with Teens
D. A Cancer Survivor Helped Others Find Matches
C
Team-building exercises have become popular for managers trying to increase organizational and team harmony and productivity. Unfortunately, many employees are angry about compulsory bonding and often regard these exercises as a nuisance (烦事).
A paper published this week by University of Sydney researchers in Social Networks has reported participants' feelings about team-building intervention (干预), revealing ethical implications in forcing employees to take part.
“Many people see team building activities as a waste of time, so we decided to look in more depth at what's behind this,” said the paper's lead researcher, Dr Peter Matous.
“Teams are formed combined and restructured. Staff are relocated and office spaces redesigned. All this is done with the aim of improving workplace efficiency, collaboration and cohesion. But does any of this work ” said Dr Matous.
The study found that team-building exercises which focused on the sharing of and intervening into personal attitudes and relationships between team members were considered too rude and nosy (爱打听), although the researchers say some degree of openness and vulnerability (脆弱) is often necessary to make deep, effective connections with colleagues.
"Some participants were against team-building exercises because they were indirectly compulsory. They didn't welcome management's interest in their lives beyond their direct work performance," said Matous. "Many people don't want to be forced into having fun or making friends, especially not on top of their busy jobs. They feel management is being too nosy or trying to control their lives too much."
In this study the researchers recommended a self-disclosure (表露) approach where participants were guided through a series of questions that allowed them to increasingly disclose personal information and values. The method is well-tested and has been shown to increase interpersonal closeness. However, to be successful it must be voluntary.
The researchers said there are numerous schools of thought that propose differing psychological methods for strengthening relationships. “With caution, many relational methods to improve teams and organizations can be borrowed from other fields. The question is how to apply them effectively to strengthen an entire collective, which is more than just the sum of individual relationships,” said Dr Matous.
46. Why are many employees opposed to team-building exercises
A. They consider such exercises annoying.
B. They deem these exercises counter-productive.
C. They see such exercises as harmful to harmony.
D. They find these exercises too demanding.
47. What did Dr Matous and his team do to find out whether team-building activities would improve productivity
A. They relocated team leaders and their offices.
B. They rearranged the staff and office spaces.
C. They redesigned the staffs work schedules.
D They reintroduced some cohesive activities.
48. What did the study by Matous’ team find about some team-building exercises
A. They were intended to share personal attitudes and relationships.
B. They indirectly added to the vulnerability of team members.
C. They always strengthened connections among colleagues.
D. They were regarded as a violation of employees' privacy.
49 How can the self-disclosure approach succeed in increasing interpersonal closeness
A. By allowing participants freedom to express themselves.
B. By applying it to employees who volunteer to participate.
C. By arranging in proper order the questions participants face.
D. By guiding employees through a series of steps in team building.
50. What does Matous think of the various psychological methods borrowed from other fields for strengthening relationships
A. They must be used in combination for an entire collective.
B. They prioritize some psychological aspects over others.
C. They place too much stress on individual relationships.
D. They have to be applied cautiously to be effective.
D
Having a rival (对手) can keep you committed to achieving your goals and enhance your overall performance. But before you go out and find an entrepreneur (创业者) to outcompete(胜出), it’s important to understand and avoid the traps that often come with rivalry. After all, competitive rivalry can also make it difficult for you to make a decision and increase your willingness to take risks, behaviors that can ultimately hurt your venture’s (风险项目) success.
Finding someone you’re committed to outcompeting can be a great way to stay focused on your goals and push your venture to the next level. But when you’re intently focused on outperforming your rivals, you may begin to develop a “win-at-all-costs” mentality (心态) that causes you to ignore how you achieve success. One group of researchers, for example, examined the link between rivalry and unethical(不道德的) behavior. They found that when people compete against their rivals, they are more willing to behave unethically to win. But such behavior may damage your reputation and strain(使……紧张) relationships important to your success. One way to avoid this trap is to stop and reflect on what’s important. While outperforming your rivals may provide short-term benefits, the loss of your integrity(正直) will have long-term consequences.
One reason having a rival can enhance your venture’s performance is that it creates a level of excitement that drives you to work harder. But this eagerness to win may also hurt your venture’s success particularly when it causes you to make impulsive, insensible decisions. But it’s possible to avoid such costly mistakes by making a habit of engaging in critical thinking, such as considering opposing viewpoints and conducting cost-benefit analyses, especially for those decisions that are complex and can determine the future of your venture.
The sense of eagerness that comes with having a rival can not only cause you to make poorer decisions, but it can also lead you to take greater risks that put your venture in great dangers. One way you can overcome the risk-inducing (诱发) effects of rivalry that stand to endanger your venture’s success is to remain attentive to your emotional state and actively monitor how such feelings are affecting your decision-making.
51. How can competitive rivalry benefit entrepreneurs according to the passage
A. By enabling them to outcompete other entrepreneurs.
B. By enabling them to make their venture a success.
C. By helping them to reach long-term goals.
D. By helping them to stay goal-oriented.
52. What is one of the traps entrepreneurs may often fall into when competing with rivals
A. They may adopt strategies that are bound to ruin their venture.
B. They may depend on unethical means to outperform their rivals.
C. They may be too eager to succeed while ignoring the huge labor cost.
D. They may be intently focused on winning at the current market level.
53. What are entrepreneurs advised to do to avoid traps that often accompany rivalry
A. Think very carefully about what really matters.
B. Prioritize obtaining immediate benefits.
C. Estimate the long-term consequences.
D. Reflect on what successes are achievable.
54. How can entrepreneurs avoid making impulsive and insensible decisions
A. By engaging themselves in critical reasoning.
B. By developing a habit of keeping their integrity.
C. By criticizing themselves for previous poor performances.
D. By stopping themselves from being too excited about their successes.
55. How can entrepreneurs overcome the risk-inducing effects of rivalry
A. By paying close attention to their current performance.
B. By taking steps that stand to endanger their rivals’ success.
C. By monitoring how their decision-making impacts their mentality.
D. By keeping their emotions in check to avoid making poor decisions.

More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him — so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station” — and there it was.” And on the lef-hand side you should see a big fountain” — and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. “There’s something about me,” he thought-and it took him a few seconds but he finally reminisced about what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion (核聚变). I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”

【详解】考查非限定性定语从句。句意：在我们班级中，有50名学生，在高考英语考试中，其中一半的学生达到了140分或以上。 分析句子可知，这个句子是个定语从句，A和D均错误，因为包含了them，它可以充当主语，从而使得横线后的句子成为一个独立句子，两个独立句子不可以被逗号直接连接；C选项正确，half和先行词之间是所属关系，应用介词of，故选C项。
13. Chris heard a woman’s voice in the background, but she couldn’t________ what she was saying.

【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：克里斯听到背景中有一个女人的声音，但她听不清她在说什么。A. take back收回；B. set aside留出；C. keep off（使）不接近，避开某一话题；D. make out理解，看清，听清。根据“what she was saying”可知，她听不清她在说什么。故选D项。
14. The forbidden city is believed ________ in the Ming dynasty over 600 years ago.
A. to have been built B. to have built
C. being built D. built
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：紫禁城被认为建于600多年前的明朝。be believed to do sth.意为“被认为做某事”，动词与句子的逻辑主语The forbidden city为动宾关系，所以需要使用被动语态，且动词不定式的动作发生在is believed之前，所以需要使用动词不定式的完成时。故选A。
15. The big prize will be awarded to ________ wins the first place in the English speech competition.
A. wherever B. whoever C. whatever D. whomever
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句连接词词义辨析。句意：在英语演讲比赛中获得第一名的人将获得大奖。A. wherever在任何地方；B. whoever无论是谁；C. whatever无论什么；D. whomever无论谁。分析句子可知，设空处引导宾语从句作be awarded to的宾语，同时在后面的从句中作主语，再根据句意可知，这里主语指人，故用whoever，表示“任何人，无论谁”。故选B项。

As the lyrics to Taylor Swifs hit song “Bad Blood” go: “Cause, baby, now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love.” It'’s a song about falling out of friendship, but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old, Barnard was diagnosed with Diamon Blackfin Anemia, or DBA, and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植)and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie’s Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,” she said. “So, so far we've tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.”
After a 9-year wait, Bamard got her own match —through her own foundation. But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid. The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma. She received surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was dificult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. “My survival instinct just kicked in. I was trying to do anything that I could to survive. So, of course, it was scary but in my mind, I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister's future weddings. I wanted to play games and run again,” she said.
Her survival instinct-combined with Taylor Swift helped her through her operation, where doctors cut her cancer out, and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.
41. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift's song “Bad Blood”
A. To stress the power of music.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To show Taylor Swift’s popularity.
D. To state Taylor Swift’s song is a hit.
42. What is Hallie Barnard’s original motivation for creating Hallie's Heroes
A. To raise money for her heroes.
B. To treat her rare blood disorder.
C. To help other children with DBA.
D. To have an operation for her cancer.
43. What does the underlined phrase “kicked in” in paragraph 5 mean
A. begin to play a role B. disappear
C. speed up D. break down
44. Which of the following can best describe Hallie Barnard
A. Strong-minded and selfish B. Hard-working and patient.
C. Kind and optimistic. D. Outgoing and helpful.
45. What's the best title for the text
A. ‘Bad Blood’ Inspired More People
B. Hallie's Heroes: a Useful Foundation
C. Taylor Swift: a Popular Singer with Teens
D. A Cancer Survivor Helped Others Find Matches
【答案】41. B 42. B 43. A 44. C 45. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个小女孩很小就被诊断患有一种罕见的血液疾病。在很不容易等到配型成功可以换骨髓时，又被发现腿部长了骨肉瘤。历经磨难，但是她积极地想活下去。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It's a song about falling out of friendship, but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard, who was born with a rare blood disorder, the song holds a much deeper meaning.(这是一首关于友谊破裂的歌，但对14岁的海莉·巴纳德来说，这首歌有着更深的含义，她出生时患有一种罕见的血液疾病)”可知，作者是想通过这首歌介绍小女孩与疾病作斗争的过程这一主题。这首歌影响了小女孩的生活。故填B项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植)and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie's Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life,…(唯一能患DBA活下来的方法就是骨髓移植，而巴纳德非常需要骨髓移植。但她知道还有成千上万的其他病人也是如此。所以，几年前她决定为此做点什么，创建了她自己的基金会：哈莉的英雄。她说：“一开始我只是自私地想要救我的命…)”可知，巴纳德创建这个基金会的初衷是为自己找到匹配的骨髓，治疗自己的病。故选B项。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“The recovery was dificult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful.( 康复过程是困难的，但哈莉说她一直抱有希望)”及下文“I was trying to do anything that I could to survive.(我在尽我所能活下去)”可知，巴纳德想要活下去并为此而努力，划线部分是一个动词短语作谓语，其主语是survival instinct(求生本能)，由此可以推测，该短语意思是求生本能发挥作用，激励着她为活下去而努力。故选A项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“So, so far we've tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.(到目前为止，我们已经对8000人进行了测试，发现了300多个匹配项)”及倒数第二段“The recovery was dificult, but Hallie said she stayed hopeful. ‘My survival instinct just kicked in. I was trying to do anything that I could to survive. So, of course, it was scary but in my mind, I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister's future weddings. I wanted to play games and run again,’she said.(恢复是困难的，但哈莉说她一直抱有希望。‘我的生存本能开始发挥作用了。我在尽我所能活下去。所以，当然这很可怕，但在我心里，我只是想着参加我姐姐未来的婚礼。我想玩游戏，再跑一次，’她说)”可知，她创建了一个基金会，并帮助了很多患者找到配型成功的骨髓；并且她患上这么严重的病，却还一直积极地想办法活下去。由此可知，这个女孩很善良，并且积极乐观。故选C项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植)and Barnard was desperate for one. But she knew thousands of other patients are, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation: Hallie's Heroes. ‘It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant,’ she said. ‘So, so far we've tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.’(唯一能让DBA活下来的方法就是骨髓移植，而巴纳德非常需要骨髓移植。但她知道还有成千上万的其他病人也是如此。所以，几年前她决定为此做点什么，创建了她自己的基金会：哈莉的英雄。她说：‘一开始我只是自私地想要救我的命，但后来我们意识到还有很多其他的孩子需要骨髓移植。到目前为止，我们已经对8000人进行了测试，发现了300多个匹配项。’)”可知，本文主人公巴纳德是癌症患者幸存者，并且很重要的是，她还创建了基金会为血液病患者寻找匹配的骨髓，这是本文的主题。故选D项。
C
Team-building exercises have become popular for managers trying to increase organizational and team harmony and productivity. Unfortunately, many employees are angry about compulsory bonding and often regard these exercises as a nuisance (烦事).
A paper published this week by University of Sydney researchers in Social Networks has reported participants' feelings about team-building intervention (干预), revealing ethical implications in forcing employees to take part.
“Many people see team building activities as a waste of time, so we decided to look in more depth at what's behind this,” said the paper's lead researcher, Dr Peter Matous.
“Teams are formed, combined and restructured. Staff are relocated and office spaces redesigned. All this is done with the aim of improving workplace efficiency, collaboration and cohesion. But does any of this work ” said Dr Matous.
The study found that team-building exercises which focused on the sharing of and intervening into personal attitudes and relationships between team members were considered too rude and nosy (爱打听), although the researchers say some degree of openness and vulnerability (脆弱) is often necessary to make deep, effective connections with colleagues.
"Some participants were against team-building exercises because they were indirectly compulsory. They didn't welcome management's interest in their lives beyond their direct work performance," said Matous. "Many people don't want to be forced into having fun or making friends, especially not on top of their busy jobs. They feel management is being too nosy or trying to control their lives too much."
In this study the researchers recommended a self-disclosure (表露) approach where participants were guided through a series of questions that allowed them to increasingly disclose personal information and values. The method is well-tested and has been shown to increase interpersonal closeness. However, to be successful it must be voluntary.
The researchers said there are numerous schools of thought that propose differing psychological methods for strengthening relationships. “With caution, many relational methods to improve teams and organizations can be borrowed from other fields. The question is how to apply them effectively to strengthen an entire collective, which is more than just the sum of individual relationships,” said Dr Matous.
46. Why are many employees opposed to team-building exercises
A. They consider such exercises annoying.
B. They deem these exercises counter-productive.
C. They see such exercises as harmful to harmony.
D. They find these exercises too demanding.
47. What did Dr Matous and his team do to find out whether team-building activities would improve productivity
A. They relocated team leaders and their offices.
B. They rearranged the staff and office spaces.
C. They redesigned the staffs work schedules.
D. They reintroduced some cohesive activities.
48. What did the study by Matous’ team find about some team-building exercises
A. They were intended to share personal attitudes and relationships.
B. They indirectly added to the vulnerability of team members.
C. They always strengthened connections among colleagues.
D. They were regarded as a violation of employees' privacy.
49. How can the self-disclosure approach succeed in increasing interpersonal closeness
A. By allowing participants freedom to express themselves.
B. By applying it to employees who volunteer to participate.

Having a rival (对手) can keep you committed to achieving your goals and enhance your overall performance. But before you go out and find an entrepreneur (创业者) to outcompete(胜出), it’s important to understand and avoid the traps that often come with rivalry. After all, competitive rivalry can also make it difficult for you to make a decision and increase your willingness to take risks, behaviors that can ultimately hurt your venture’s (风险项目) success.
Finding someone you’re committed to outcompeting can be a great way to stay focused on your goals and push your venture to the next level. But when you’re intently focused on outperforming your rivals, you may begin to develop a “win-at-all-costs” mentality (心态) that causes you to ignore how you achieve success. One group of researchers, for example, examined the link between rivalry and unethical(不道德的) behavior. They found that when people compete against their rivals, they are more willing to behave unethically to win. But such behavior may damage your reputation and strain(使……紧张) relationships important to your success. One way to avoid this trap is to stop and reflect on what’s important. While outperforming your rivals may provide short-term benefits, the loss of your integrity(正直) will have long-term consequences.
One reason having a rival can enhance your venture’s performance is that it creates a level of excitement that drives you to work harder. But this eagerness to win may also hurt your venture’s success, particularly when it causes you to make impulsive, insensible decisions. But it’s possible to avoid such costly mistakes by making a habit of engaging in critical thinking, such as considering opposing viewpoints and conducting cost-benefit analyses, especially for those decisions that are complex and can determine the future of your venture.
The sense of eagerness that comes with having a rival can not only cause you to make poorer decisions, but it can also lead you to take greater risks that put your venture in great dangers. One way you can overcome the risk-inducing (诱发) effects of rivalry that stand to endanger your venture’s success is to remain attentive to your emotional state and actively monitor how such feelings are affecting your decision-making.
51. How can competitive rivalry benefit entrepreneurs according to the passage
A. By enabling them to outcompete other entrepreneurs.
B By enabling them to make their venture a success.
C. By helping them to reach long-term goals.
D. By helping them to stay goal-oriented.
52. What is one of the traps entrepreneurs may often fall into when competing with rivals
A. They may adopt strategies that are bound to ruin their venture.
B. They may depend on unethical means to outperform their rivals.
C. They may be too eager to succeed while ignoring the huge labor cost.
D. They may be intently focused on winning at the current market level.
53 What are entrepreneurs advised to do to avoid traps that often accompany rivalry
A. Think very carefully about what really matters.
B. Prioritize obtaining immediate benefits.
C. Estimate the long-term consequences.
D. Reflect on what successes are achievable.
54. How can entrepreneurs avoid making impulsive and insensible decisions
A. By engaging themselves in critical reasoning.
B. By developing a habit of keeping their integrity.
C. By criticizing themselves for previous poor performances.
D. By stopping themselves from being too excited about their successes.
55. How can entrepreneurs overcome the risk-inducing effects of rivalry
A. By paying close attention to their current performance.
B. By taking steps that stand to endanger their rivals’ success.
C. By monitoring how their decision-making impacts their mentality.
D. By keeping their emotions in check to avoid making poor decisions.

第一节、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him — so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station” — and there it was.” And on the lef-hand side you should see a big fountain” — and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. “There’s something about me,” he thought-and it took him a few seconds but he finally reminisced about what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion (核聚变). I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”
56. Why did Brierley get on the train in front of him (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What made Brierley move to Tasmania from India (No more than 12 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
58. How did Brierley manage to find his hometown in India (No more than 10words)

59. What does the underlined part mean in Para.5 (No more than 2 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
60. How are you inspired by Brierley’s words in an interview Please explain in your own words.(No more than 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Because he thought his brother might be on the train.
57. Being adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
OR: (That) he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
OR: (That) an Australian family adopted him and brought him there.
58. By using a digital mapping program.
OR: With the help of a digital mapping program.
OR: He searched in a digital mapping program’s satellite pictures.
OR: By studying digital maps.
59. Remembered/Thought of/Brought back.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Saroo Brierley在印度走失后，被澳大利亚家庭收养并移居塔斯马尼亚。成年后，他通过数字地图程序的卫星图片，历经多年寻找，最终成功找到了自己位于印度的家乡，并与母亲重逢，展现了对家庭的深切思念和爱。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on. (当他醒来发现自己独自一人时，这个四岁的孩子认为他的兄弟可能在他面前看到的火车上，所以他上了车。)”可知，Saroo在醒来后发现自己独自一人，他推测他的兄弟可能在之前看到的火车上，因此他决定上车寻找。这个决定是基于他对孩子可能去向的猜测。故答案是Being adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania. OR: (That) he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania. OR: (That) an Australian family adopted him and brought him there.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania. (在那里，他被一个澳大利亚家庭收养，并被带到塔斯马尼亚。)”可知，Saroo在孤儿院被一个澳大利亚家庭收养，随后被带往塔斯马尼亚。这个过程中，他被收养是移居发生的关键原因。故答案是Being adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. (然后他找到了一个数字地图程序。他花了好几年时间在程序的卫星图片中寻找他的家乡。)”可知，Saroo通过一个数字地图程序，花费多年时间在该程序的卫星图片中寻找他的家乡。他利用这个工具进行了长时间的搜索，最终成功定位到了家乡。故答案是By using a digital mapping program. OR: With the help of a digital mapping program. OR: He searched in a digital mapping program’s satellite pictures. OR: By studying digital maps.
【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第四段“And there it was. (它就在那里。)”可知，在这里，Saroo在数字地图上找到了他记忆中的地标——火车站和喷泉，这触发了他的回忆，意味着他找到了他的家乡。划线部分指的是他记忆中的景象与卫星图片中的景象相匹配的瞬间。故答案是Remembered/Thought of/Brought back.
【60题详解】
开放题。根据第五段“I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. (我不知道该说什么，因为我从未想过能见到我的母亲会成为现实。)”可知，Saroo表达了他对于能再次见到母亲的震惊和情感的强烈冲击，他从未想过这一幕会成为现实。这反映了他对家庭的深切思念和爱。这种情感的力量提醒我们珍视家人的重要性。故答案是I am inspired by his love and longing for his mother, because such quality can help us value our family.
