第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)

FUR, FINS & FEATHERS
Wildlife-watching can turn a day outdoors into a wide-eyed family adventure. Here are four of the best UK experiences this spring.
Ponies on Exmoor
Exmoor National Park is a haven for wildlife, with the area’s native ponies a highlight. Some animals wander around the park, and you will likely see them on four-wheel-drive vehicle adventures. For very young children, don’t miss the Exmoor Pony Center, near Dulverton, home to around 20 native ponies.
Puffins on Skomer Island
Skomer might be less than a mile off the Pembrokeshire coast but arriving on this rocky, dramatic island still feels like landing on a distant shore. During breeding season(April to early July), you can expect to spot puffins, but there’s plenty more for families to enjoy, too. However, visitor numbers are capped each day, so book your boat trip well ahead of time.
Eagles and Otters on Mull
The inner Hebridean Island of Mull has superb birdwatching certificates and a rich marine life, too. Keep your eyes on the sky for golden and white-tailed eagles — the former a Highland icon, the latter the UK’s largest bird of prey. The coast, meanwhile, is home to shy but spellbinding otters(水獭). Mull Magic offers themed wildlife tours, including the Otter Detective Walk, the Eagle Walk and Birds, Beaches & Butterflies.
Seals in Norfolk
The county’s coastline is famous for its seals, with three key locations allowing you to admire colonies from a responsible distance. Hunstanton is a good bet in the summer months, and Horsey Beach is an excellent option for seeing baby seals during the winter breeding seasons, but Blakeney Points is the best year-round choice, with both harbor and grey seals seen in large numbers. Various operators run family-friendly bout trips from nearby Morston Quay, with departures throughout the year.

When presented with a Make-A-Wish grant, most 13-year-old boys would buy a gaming system or take a trip to Disney World. But Abraham Olagbegi is not like most teens.
Abraham is recovering from a bone marrow transplant resulting from a rare genetic blood disorder. Last year was a scary time for him and his family, but the transplant was successful, and he’s now on a path to good health. When he found out he was qualified for Make-A-Wish, he shocked everyone with his request.
“I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments and he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’” said Miriam Olagbegi. Abraham’s mother. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham? You could do a lot... Are you sure that you don’t want a PlayStation?’”
Abraham’s whole family thought it was a great idea, especially since they’ve tried to teach their kids to give freely and openly to others whenever possible. In the 13-year-old’s words, “My parents always teach us that it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”
Make-A-Wish granted Abraham’s special request, spending a day in September handing out free plates of food to people experiencing homelessness in Jackson, Mississippi. Local businesses donated all of the food and supplies, and together they managed to feed about 80 people.
Abraham said seeing the gratitude on their faces made his wish come true. Now, the Make-A-Wish team will continue Abraham’s program named Abraham’s Table every month.
“We’re just very excited to be able to continue this program. It’s just so rewarding,” Miriam said. “If I was out there on the streets, having no home, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to instill(灌输) in my kids and we just try to pay it forward by doing what we were raised to do.”
4. What is Abraham’s Make-A-Wish?
A. Having a PlayStation.
B. Helping the homeless.
C. Visiting Disney World.
D. Recovering from a rare disease.
5. How did Miriam feel when hearing Abraham’s request?
A. Relieved.
B. Concerned.
C. Curious.
D. Amazed.
6. Which of the following can best describe Abraham?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Outgoing and determined.
C. Sympathetic and generous. D. Hard-working and careful.
7. What inspired Abraham to make such a special wish?
A. His parents’ influence. B. People’s grateful look.
C. The desire to set a good example. D. The eagerness to establish a program.
While saying no can be empowering and liberating to some, for others it can be frightening or uncomfortable. We feel that we must go along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted. However, there are benefits to the word “no”. Saying no can create more mental health stability and build your self-esteem and confidence. Saying no may be a difficult thing to do, but there are ways to make the process a bit more acceptable and effective.
The sandwich method, an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives, is helpful for you to feel natural and authentic to say no. Tell the person something positive followed by the no and end with something supportive or positive. For example. “Thank you for inviting me. I really appreciate you including me and being thoughtful; however, I won’t be able to make it. I would still really enjoy meeting up with you. I’ll look at my schedule for some dates I’m available, so we can spend some time together.”
It’s also important to keep in mind that saying no to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of no. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy.
We all have various roles in our work, parenting, and social obligations. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is important to your health and well-being. Consider setting boundaries around goals you have for yourself. For example, if one of your goals is to create better balance between work and life, you may say no to a call or meeting outside your normal working hours.
Using some of the techniques outlined above, you may not find it a big deal to say no.
8. What is an advantage of saying no?
A.You might become more powerful.
B. You will be more socially accepted.
C. You are likely to feel self-confident.
D. You can stabilize your physical health.
9. Which of the following agrees with the sandwich method?
A. To follow 2 praises with a criticism.
B. To make a refusal between 2 layers of praise.
C. To state something negative and give 2 proposals.
D. To introduce an idea, give examples and draw a conclusion.
10. What is the author’s attitude to saying no?
A. Doubtful.
B. Objective.
C. Favorable.
D. Opposed.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Art of Saying No B. The Skill of Communication
C. The Importance of Saying No D. The Concept of Sandwich Method
When using the Internet to fill-in gaps in one’s own knowledge — people believe they’re smarter and have a better memory than others, and incorrectly predict that they’ll perform better on future knowledge tests they take without Internet access, according to the new research.
“When we’re constantly connected to knowledge, we mistake the Internet’s knowledge for our own,” says Adrian Ward of the University of Texas. “Besides, the Google search process is also much like searching your own memory, which might cause people to confuse information found online with information in their own heads.”
To investigate that, Ward, in the first experiment, got participants to answer ten general knowledge questions either on their own or using online search. Then, they reported how confident they were in the ability to find information by using external sources, and in their own ability to remember information. Participants who used Google answered more questions correctly and were also more confident in their own memory.
In a second experiment, participants were made to answer the same ten general knowledge questions either on their own or using the online searching engine. Then, Ward told them they’d take second knowledge test without using any outside sources. Those who completed the first knowledge test with Google thought they’d know significantly more when forced to rely on their own memory in the future — suggesting they attributed their initial performance to their own knowledge, not to the fact they were using Google.
In a final experiment, participants were made to answer knowledge questions on their own, using Google, or with a version of Google that delayed search results by 25 seconds. Unlike those who used standard Google, participants who used “slow Google” weren’t more confident in their internal knowledge and didn’t predict higher performance on future tests. This suggests that in a world in which searching online is often faster than using our memory, we may know less but think we know more.
Ward says that the research has major implications for education, as students might devote less time and energy to gaining knowledge if they already feel knowledgeable. “Maybe we can use our limited cognitive resources in a more effective and efficient way,” Ward says.
12. How does Adrian Ward draw his conclusions?
A. By carrying out a series of experiments.
B. By referring to previous related research.
C. By comparing ways of using the Internet.
D. By analyzing the effects of Internet access.
13. What does the underlined word “attributed” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Compared.
B. Owed.
C. Referred.
D. Devoted.
14. What can we infer about the Internet according to the research?
A. It can improve one’s mental development.
B. It can affect the way we think about ourselves.
C. It can make one become smarter academically.
D. It can change our view of our own intelligence.
15. What will the author do in the next paragraph?
A. Show more experiments. B. Give some suggestions.
C. Provide a certain theory. D. Analyze a real-life phenomenon.

第五部分 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My grandfather had started experiencing major problems with his left eye due to his old age. He had visited the hospital on many occasions to seek treatment, but his condition was not getting any better. Finally, his doctor told him the only way left was to go for eye surgery as a way of trying to correct the abnormality with the eyes.
Since it was a weekend and I had no classes on that day, I thought it would be a good idea to accompany my grandfather to the hospital rather than to stay home and be bored despite the fear I had of surgeries and hospitals in general.
My uncle drove us to the hospital. After ensuring that my grandfather had checked in, he had to leave for an important appointment. Luckily, there were several helpful nurses available to offer any assistance that my grandfather required, and the doctors were very friendly. Even though things were taking their natural course, the situation was tearing me apart. I guessed the nurses sensed the high level of nervousness that both my grandfather and I had at that moment. They talked to us nicely so that we ended up relaxing and seeing the surgery as something normal and nothing to worry much about.
Before long, both my grandfather and I felt relaxed and ready for the surgery, as we forgot the high degree of nervousness we had felt just a few moments earlier. I have always had this fear of doctors and injections so even as I began to relax, thoughts of the upcoming surgery were drilling my mind. I knew the surgery would be more serious than the injections that I feared so much as well. In an hour or so, I was just sitting on the couch and waiting while the nurses were preparing my grandfather for the surgery.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
All of a sudden, a cup of coffee appeared before my eyes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
After only an hour, my grandfather was wheeled out with a bandage on the operated eye.

这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了“雪容融”的设计者及其形象特征和寓意。
1.考查名词。句意:姜宇帆的灵感来自她家乡浓厚的节日氛围,那里到处都是红灯笼。分析句子结构,结合设空前的定冠词the可知,设空处需填入名词inspiration作宾语,且为不可数名词。故填inspiration。
2.考查定语从句关系词。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为hometown,在从句中作地点状语,因而用where引导。故填where。
3.考查状语从句连接词。句意:虽然设计过程充满挑战,但她真心希望灯笼能温暖世界,照亮人们的梦想。根据句意可知,主从句之间存在转折关系,因而可以用although/though/while来引导状语从句,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Although/Though/While。
4.考查副词。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,设空处修饰动词hoped,因而需用副词形式。故填truly。

9.考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。分析句子结构可知,设空处需填入非谓语动词,作patterns的后置定语, 动词take与patterns之间是动宾关系,因而用过去分词形式表示被动。故填taken。

读后续写
【答案】
All of a sudden, a cup of coffee appeared before my eyes. Looking up, I found she was an old nurse with shiny gray curly hair and a kind smile. At the first sight, I was impressed since she looked very much like my grandmother. Then she told me it was my twisted hands and helpless look that caught her attention. Not knowing what to do, she decided to cheer me up with hot cappuccino. Tears blurred my eyes. I accepted the cup and took a sip, feeling a surge of warmth running through me. Of course, her coffee didn’t change a thing in my current situation, but having someone so selflessly supporting me was always something that warmed my heart.
After only an hour, my grandfather was wheeled out with a bandage on the operated eye. He was conscious and in very good mood. I could not forget the look on my grandfather’s face and the feeling of relief he expressed, knowing that the problem with his eye was finally over. At that very moment, my fear of doctors vanished, and I began appreciating the important role that doctors played in everyday life. That was the moment I decided that I wanted to be a doctor, with the nurse’s words lingering in my head:“You can’t save every patient, but the way you respond to this person can ease the illness.”
