When my son was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival in our town. He didn’t come home at lunch time, phoning instead to tell me he was fine and had found a few days’ work helping out at an exhibit. He turned up for supper as usual however after he finished work.
I asked him how he had managed at lunch and he told me he had made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores (杂务).
I was glad he had found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, these are just normal everyday people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself,” he said.
So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had directed me to. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn’t thought this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it’s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.”
What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.
4. From the first paragraph we know that .
A. the author’s son could live on his job at the exhibit
B. the author’s son disliked meeting his parents at home
C. the author’s son usually made his appearance at supper

A. they were content with his work
B. they needed a worker to do the chores
C. they wanted to treat him to lunch
D. they wanted him to help the twins with homework
6. The author was worried about the new friends her son made because .
A. she feared the people at the carnival were not friendly to her son
B. her son simply believed in strangers
C. she thought people traveling in a carnival were not so reliable
D. the carnival was not an occasion for children
7. Which proverb may the author agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Don’t judge a person by his looks. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Love me, love my dog. D. It is a matter of opinion.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者的儿子曾经在一场嘉年华会上帮忙，结识了一些新朋友，其中有一对连体双胞胎，但是在作者的儿子看来这并不重要，他认为他们只是普通人，他看到的是很难买到合适的衣服的人们，还有擅长厨艺年轻人。由此，作者感悟到如何看待人或事物是一个观点问题。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“He turned up for supper as usual however after he finished work.(然而，他干完活以后像往常一样来吃晚饭)”可知，作者的儿子通常在家里吃晚饭时露面。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their exhibit on the first day and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores (杂务).(他们付了他几美元，请他共进午餐，作为他第一天帮助他们布置展览的回报，他们希望他第二天再来帮忙做其他杂务)”可知，双胞胎及其父母希望作者的儿子帮助他们第二天再来帮忙做其他杂务。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I was glad he had found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. (我很高兴他找到了新朋友，但是有点担心那些可能在嘉年华旅行的人)”及最后一段前两句“What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. (别人首先从一个人身上看到的东西在孩子看来并不重要。在我看到连体双胞胎的地方，他看到的是很难买到合适的衣服的人们，还有擅长厨艺年轻人)”可知，作者担心儿子是因为她认为在嘉年华旅行的人不可靠。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. (别人首先从一个人身上看到的东西在孩子看来并不重要。在我看到连体双胞胎的地方，他看到的是很难买到合适的衣服的人们，还有擅长厨艺年轻人)”可知，作者认为自己的儿子和自己看待这对连体双胞胎的方式和角度不同，这导致了不同的观点。由此推知，作者会认同如何看待人或事物是一个观点问题。故选D。
C
After 195 countries in two years, one traveler has become the first black woman to visit every country in the world. Jessica Nabongo ended her journey in the Seychelles, off the coast of East Africa—just as she said she would be on “Good Morning, America” back in March. Friends and family joined her in the Seychelles to celebrate the incredible achievement.
Nabongo was born and raised in Detroit by Ugandan-immigrant parents. She has been traveling internationally since she was four. In addition to her U.S. passport, Nabongo carries a Ugandan passport, which helped her gain access to different nations around the world.
The idea to visit every country on earth came to her in February 2017. At that point, she had visited about 60 countries. But Nahango didn’t tell anyone her plan, at least not at first. Nabango did some research and discovered that she could become the first black woman to visit every country. “I didn’t want anyone to beat me to it,” she said.
Nabongo had been writing a travel blog since 2009, before social media was so prevalent, as a way to keep family and friends updated. Today, she documents much of her travel on Instagram, where she has almost 200,000 followers who have watched her journey around the world.
What makes it to her Instagram is just a part of her life. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Seasoned traveler as she was, she got ripped off(被敲诈) during her journey when exchanging her money for the local currency. More often than not, though, people tried to be helpful, especially when Nahongo would tell them what she was trying to accomplish.
Through her travels, Nabongo broke down barriers about many countries, particularly those that people are afraid to visit, and highlighted(突出) the countries that are often unseen and overlooked.
8. What can we learn about Jessica Nabongo?
A. She was born in Uganda.
B. She started her journey from East Africa.
C She used to be a broadcaster.
D. She made history in touring the world.
9. What benefited Jessica Nabongo a lot during her journey?
A. Holding American citizenship.
B. Having many loyal followers.
C. Owning two different passports.
D. Getting support from the government.
10. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Commercial. B. Widespread. C. Promising. D. Addictive.
11 What does the author imply by giving examples in Paragraph 5?
A. Learning a foreign language is a necessity.
B. The residents were unfriendly to tourists.
C. Photos on the social media are misleading.
D. The journey was a mixture of joy and bitterness.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了世界上第一位访问每个国家的黑人女性Jessica Nabongo的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After 195 countries in two years, one traveler has become the first black woman to visit every country in the world.Jessica Nabongo ended her journey in the Seychelles, off the coast of East Africa”（在两年内访问了195个国家之后，一位旅行者成为了世界上第一位访问每个国家的黑人女性。Jessica Nabongo 在东非海岸的塞舌尔结束了她的旅程。）可知，Jessica Nabongo成为了世界上第一位访问每个国家的黑人女性，即她在环游世界中创造了历史。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Nabongo was born and raised in Detroit by Ugandan-immigrant parents. She has been traveling internationally since she was four. In addition to her U.S. passport, Nabongo carries a Ugandan passport, which helped her gain access to different nations around the world.”（Nabongo在底特律出生长大，父母是乌干达移民。她从四岁起就开始国际旅行。除了美国护照之外，Nabongo还携带了一本乌干达护照，这有助于她进入世界各地的不同国家。）可知，拥有美国护照和乌干达护照，有助于她进入世界各地的不同国家。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Today, she documents much of her travel on Instagram, where she has almost 200,000 followers who have watched her journey around the world.”(如今，她在 Instagram 上记录了自己的大部分旅行，在那里有近20万粉丝观看了她的环球之旅。)可知，她在网上分享自己的旅行经历，有近20万粉丝观看。说明Instagram这种社交媒体是很受欢迎的。因而划线词此处指“受欢迎的，流行的”，选项B.“分布广泛的”，意思与划线词相当，符合题意，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. Seasoned traveler as she was, she got ripped off(被敲诈) during her journey when exchanging her money for the local currency. More often than not, though, people tried to be helpful, especially when Nahongo would tell them what she was trying to accomplish.”（这些经历的背后有很多故事。尽管她是一个经验丰富的旅行者，但她在旅途中把钱兑换成当地货币时被骗了。然而，大多数情况下，人们试图提供帮助，尤其是当 Nahongo 告诉他们她正在努力实现的目标时。）可推知，Nahongo的旅途是苦乐参半的。故选D。
D
As a woman who goes outside almost every day, I’m used to people looking at me for all kinds of different reasons. In certain cases, it can be harder to tell who’s looking where: on a crowded train, or across a packed bar. If you’re unsure if a person is noticing you, there’s a little trick that I have found to be very effective: It’s called mirroring.
In a 1999 study, psychologists defined mirroring as “nonconscious mimicry (无意识模仿)of the postures, facial expressions and other behaviors of one’s interaction partners”. It’s long been used as a strategy that successful people can employ strategically to show their engagement (参与度) during job interviews or at work. They believe when done on purpose, mirroring can help people understand each other’s ideas or feelings very well.
It’s a proven method. In an experiment, volunteers were asked for their opinions about a series of advertisements. A member of a research team mirrored half the participants, taking care not to be too obvious. A few minutes later, the researcher “accidentally” dropped six pens on the floor. Participants who had been mimicked were two to three times more likely to pick up the pens. The study concluded that mimicry had not only increased goodwill towards the researcher, but also contributed to an increased social orientation (取向) in general.
If you want to know how to figure out if a person is looking at you, just throw out some kinds of gestures and see who copies you. But not everyone uses mirroring to figure out who’s making eyes at who. My years of experience of analyzing the messages sent consciously and unconsciously by the human body has left me with particularly good powers of observation. However, the average person has not had the same chance to improve this skill.
Of course, once you’ve figured out who’s watching you, it’s up to you and the watcher to decide what happens next. Not everybody watches with intent or enjoys getting hit on in public, so knowing how to react properly is very necessary.
12. What can we learn about mirroring from Paragraph 2?
A. It can benefit communication.
B. It helps people get out of bad habits.
C. People find it hard to apply at work.
D. Psychologists just started researching it recently.
13. What does the result of the study in Paragraph 3 show about purposeful mirroring?
A. It is beneficial for building teamwork.
B. It makes interaction partners less active.
C. It makes interaction partners more confused.
D. It has positive influences on interaction partners.
14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Some people have doubts about the effects of mirroring.
B. It is unnecessary for average people to master the skills of mirroring.
C. The author can use mirroring to read people’s body language well.
D. Average people lack the good ability to observe their surroundings.
15. What would the author probably like to talk about in the next paragraph?
A. Ways to draw people’s attention in public.
B. Reasons for people hating being watched by others.
C. Advice on dealing with situations where you are watched.
D. The importance of paying attention to one’s body language.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了对镜像这一策略的研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s long been used as a strategy that successful people can employ strategically to show their engagement (参与度) during job interviews or at work. They believe when done on purpose, mirroring can help people understand each other’s ideas or feelings very well.(长期以来，这一策略一直被成功人士用来在面试或工作中有策略地展示自己敬业精神。他们相信，如果是有意为之，镜像可以帮助人们更好地理解彼此的想法或感受)”可知，长期以来，这一策略一直被使用，被人们认为可以帮助人们更好地理解彼此的想法或感受。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In an experiment, volunteers were asked for their opinions about a series of advertisements. A member of a research team mirrored half the participants, taking care not to be too obvious. A few minutes later, the researcher “accidentally” dropped six pens on the floor. Participants who had been mimicked were two to three times more likely to pick up the pens.The study concluded that mimicry had not only increased goodwill towards the researcher, but also contributed to an increased social orientation (取向) in general.(在一个实验中，志愿者被问及他们对一系列广告的看法。一个研究小组的成员模仿了一半的参与者，注意不要太明显。几分钟后，研究人员“不小心”把六支钢笔掉在了地板上。被模仿的参与者拿起钢笔的可能性是其他人的两到三倍。研究得出结论，模仿不仅增加了对研究人员的好感，而且有助于增加一般的社会取向)”可知，研究结果表明，有意的模仿对其他的成员会有积极的影响。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“If you want to know how to figure out if a person is looking at you, just throw out some kinds of gestures and see who copies you. But not everyone uses mirroring to figure out who’s making eyes at who. My years of experience of analyzing the messages sent consciously and unconsciously by the human body has left me with particularly good powers of observation. However, the average person has not had the same chance to improve this skill.(如果你想知道如何判断一个人是否在看着你，只要抛出一些手势，看看谁在模仿你。但不是每个人都用镜子来分辨谁在看谁。我多年来分析人体有意识和无意识发出的信息的经验使我具有特别好的观察力。然而，一般人没有同样的机会来提高这项技能)”可知，作者有着人体有意识和无意识发出的信息的经验，使得作者具有特别好的观察力。可推知，作者通过观察人们的行为，可以解读人们的肢体语言。选项C.“作者能够很好地运用镜像来解读人们的肢体语言。”，符合题意，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, once you’ve figured out who’s watching you, it’s up to you and the watcher to decide what happens next. Not everybody watches with intent or enjoys getting hit on in public, so knowing how to react properly is very necessary.(当然，一旦你知道谁在监视你，接下来会发生什么就取决于你和监视者了。不是每个人都有目的地观看或喜欢在公共场合被搭讪，所以知道如何正确反应是非常必要的)”可知，这里提出了要知道对于监视该如何正确反应，因而接下来的段落应该描述相关的建议。选项C.“处理被看着的情况的建议”，符合题意，故选C。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
False Memories or Parallel (平行的) Realities?
Here is a common situation: You’re talking with someone about an event, only to discover that you both remember things quite differently. Usually, you’d put it down to a poor memory, but what if it wasn’t just one person who remembered things differently? What if it was millions?
In fact, this isn’t a “what if” situation. It’s known as the Mandela Effect, and it was first noticed in 2009 by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome. Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s. ___16___ Actually, he'd been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.
Broome was so shocked at this that she started an investigation. ___17___ People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoken. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (it’s southeast ). So what in the world is going on?
___18___ In each reality, history is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another. Therefore, those who remember Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s aren’t wrong. They’re just remembering events from their original reality.
More likely, however, is that the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information. ___19___ Many people remember Pikachu’s tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellow. “Aha!” you cry. “Parallel realities!” Probably not. Consider instead that people often ignore unfamiliar details and transform information to make it more understandable. In the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips. ___20___
All things considered, if you’re stuck arguing win someone about whose version of events is correct, it may indeed be easier to agree that neither of you is wrong. You just come from different realities.
A. Before we explain let’s look at an example.
B. It turns out she wasn’t the only one who’d experienced this.
C. If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger socially.
D. The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.
E. Some claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in one of many parallel realities.
F. Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.
G. As more incidents of the Mandela effect continue to occur, perhaps more research into the origins will tell us the causes.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了曼德拉效应的发现以及相关研究和其产生的原因。
【16题详解】
上文“Broome was chatting with people about the South African activist Nelson Mandela, and she commented how sad it was that he had died in prison in the 1980s（布鲁姆和人们聊起了南非社会活动家纳尔逊·曼德拉，她说曼德拉在20世纪80年代死于狱中是多么令人悲伤。）”说明在布鲁姆记忆中曼德拉80年代死于狱中，下文“Actually, he'd been released in 1990, become president of South Africa, and died in 2013.（实际上，他在1990年被释放，成为南非总统，并于2013年去世。）”说明事实上曼德拉并不像布鲁姆记忆中的那样死于狱中，F项“Many in her group agreed, while others mentioned that Nelson Mandela had not died in prison.（她所在小组的很多人都同意这一观点，而其他人则提到，纳尔逊·曼德拉并没有死在监狱里。）”说明对曼德拉死亡时间这件事情的两种不同的观点，承上启下，符合语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
下文“People have memories of movies that never existed, and famous words that were never spoken. There is even a group who clearly recall seeing maps showing that New Zealand was northeast of Australia (it’s southeast ).（人们对从未存在过的电影有记忆，对从未说过的名言有记忆。甚至有一群人清楚地记得看到地图显示新西兰在澳大利亚的东北部(它在东南)。）”介绍了一些其他的有关错误记忆的例子，D项“The story of Nelson Mandela is not the only example of this type of false group memory.（纳尔逊·曼德拉的故事并不是这种错误群体记忆的唯一例子。）”引出下文，说明有关错误记忆的例子，符合语境，故选D项。
【18题详解】
上一段段末“So what in the world is going on?（那么到底发生了什么？）”以提问的方式引出下文对曼德拉效应产生原因的解释，下文“In each reality, history is shaped by different events, and the Mandela Effect occurs when some of us shift from one reality to another.（在每个现实中，历史是由不同的事件塑造的，当我们中的一些人从一个现实转向另一个现实时，曼德拉效应就发生了。）”说明曼德勒效应产生可能是由于不同的现实，E项“Some claim the Mandela Effect happens because we live in one of many parallel realities.（一些人声称，曼德拉效应的出现是因为我们生活在许多平行的现实中。）”作为段首，承上启下，引出“多个平行现实”这一概念，说明有些人认为的曼德拉效应产生的原因，和下文中“从一个现实转向另一个现实”相衔接，符合语境。故选E项。
【19题详解】
上文“More likely, however, is that the Mandela Effect has to do with how our brains store information.（然而，更有可能的是，曼德拉效应与我们大脑储存信息的方式有关。）”提出了另一种曼德拉效应产生的原因，下文“Many people remember Pikachu’s tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellow…Probably not…In the Pikachu example, his tail may not have a black tip, but his ears certainly do. Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips.（许多人都记得皮卡丘的尾巴末端有一个黑色的尖，但实际上它总是黄色的……或许不是……在皮卡丘的例子中，它的尾巴可能没有黑色的尖，但它的耳朵肯定有。因此，人们误以为它的耳朵和尾巴都是黑色的。）”以皮卡丘的例子说明曼德拉效应产生的另一个原因可能是人们信息存储的问题，A项“Before we explain let’s look at an example.（在解释之前，让我们看一个例子。）”承上启下，引出下文的例子。故选A项。
【20题详解】
上文“Many people remember Pikachu’s tail having a black tip on the end of it, when in fact it was always yellow…Thus, both his ears and tail are misremembered as having black tips.（许多人都记得皮卡丘的尾巴末端有一个黑色的尖，但实际上它总是黄色的……因此，人们误以为它的耳朵和尾巴都是黑色的。）”说明人们对皮卡丘形象的错误记忆是由于人们对信息的错误处理，C项“If several people make these memory errors, the false memory gets stronger socially.（如果一些人犯了这些记忆错误，错误的记忆就会在社会上变得更强。）”说明为什么很多人会有一个群体的错误记忆，承接上文，符合语境。故选C项。

As we all know, such scientists as Tu You you has made great contributions to our country and set a good example to them.
Tu Youyou, awarded Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, made the discovery of artemisinin. It is one of the worldˈs most effective malaria-fighting drug, therefore greatly improved the health of numerous people. Besides, she shows many good qualities. For instance, despite of failure, she still worked hardly to overcome the difficulties, and she remains modest after gaining worldwide recognize. All these are how we can learn from her.
In conclusion, she is an admirable scientist and I hope we will be inspiring.
【答案】1.has→have
2.them→us
3.awarded后添加the
4.drug→drugs
5.improved→improving
6.删除of
7.hardly→hard
8.recognize→recognition
9.how→what
10.inspiring→inspired
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家屠呦呦的发现及其重要意义。
【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：我们都知道，像屠呦呦这样的科学家为我们的国家做出了巨大的贡献，为我们树立了一个很好的榜样。此处主语为scientists，助动词应用have。故has改为have。
2.考查代词。句意：我们都知道，像屠呦呦这样的科学家为我们的国家做出了巨大的贡献，为我们树立了一个很好的榜样。此处指为“我们树立了一个很好的榜样”应用代词us。故them改为us。
3.考查冠词。句意：屠呦呦，诺贝尔生理学或医学奖获得者，发现了青蒿素。此处Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine为专有名词，前面需用定冠词。故awarded后添加the。
4.考查名词的数。句意：它是世界上最有效的抗疟疾药物之一，因此大大改善了许多人的健康。drug为可数名词，此处为one of+形容词最高级+名词复数形式。故drug改为drugs。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意：它是世界上最有效的抗疟疾药物之一，因此大大改善了许多人的健康。分析句子结构可知improve与逻辑主语drugs构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故improved改为improving。
6.考查固定用法。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。despite后直接跟名词，没有despite of用法。故删除of。
7.考查副词。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。修饰动词work应用副词hard，hardly表示“几乎不”不符合语境。故hardly改为hard。
8.考查名词。句意：例如，尽管失败，她仍然努力克服困难，并在获得世界认可后保持谦虚。作宾语，应用名词recognition，不可数。故recognize改为recognition。
9.考查表语从句。句意：这些都是我们可以从她身上学到的。引导表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指事物应用what。故how改为what。
10.考查形容词。句意：总之，她是一位令人钦佩的科学家，我希望我们能受到鼓舞。修饰人应用-ed结尾形容词inspired；inspiring用于修饰物，表示“令人鼓舞的”不符合语境。故inspiring改为inspired。
第二节书面表达(满分 25 分)
52. 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友 Tom 最近给你来信，请根据下面信中所提的问题予以回信并提供相关建议。
Dear Li Hua,
How’s everything? Do you remember last time you asked me to visit your hometown in the future? I was so thrilled at the idea that I signed up for a Chinese course at school.
However, it is not as easy as I thought. Chinese uses a writing system that is unfamiliar to English speakers. Chinese doesn’t have an alphabet (字母) like we do. There are thousands of characters. That means have a lot of memorizing to do. And characters are just part of the learning. I suddenly feel at a loss.I was wondering if you could offer me some practical advice about this.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Tom
