Scottsdale, Arizona
With over 300 days of sunshine and boundless outdoor activities, Arizona is an outdoor heaven for all ages. Book this massive 5-bedroom desert house, and spend days hiking. Then cool off back at home in your private pool overlooking the mountains. If you’re working from home, you can soak in some pretty evenings and desert sunsets. When you’re not enjoying a barbecue in the backyard, walk into Scottsdale’s modern downtown district for dinner.
The Catskills New York
Surround yourself with nature while you work-from-home at this quiet and private, 4-acre red cottage in the Catskills region. The charming 2-bedroom house has a huge industrial kitchen, private hot tub and a barbecue. When you have to go back to civilization, the lovable mountain town of Woodstock is just 10 minutes away.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Scottsdale, Arizona部分的“With over 300 days of sunshine and boundless outdoor activities, Arizona is an outdoor heaven for all ages.(超过300天的阳光和无边无际的户外活动，Arizona州是所有年龄的户外天堂。)”可知，Scottsdale是户外运动的好地方。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据San Antonio, Texas部分的“The house on its own is excellent, but what is close to downtown San Antonia is like a cherry on top.(房子本身就很好，但靠近圣安东尼亚市中心的地方就像锦上添花一样。)”，Carmel-by-the-Sea, California部分的“You’ll have both the beach and town within walking distance.(海滩和城镇都在步行范围内。)”，Scottsdale, Arizona部分的“When you’re not enjoying a barbecue in the backyard, walk into Scottsdale’s modern downtown district for dinner.(如果你不喜欢在后院烧烤，那就走进斯科茨代尔的现代闹市区吃晚餐。)”和The Catskills, New York部分的“When you have to go back to civilization, the lovable mountain town of Woodstock is just 10 minutes away.(当你不得不回到文明世界，可爱的山城伍德斯托克只有10分钟的路程。)”可知，这四套出租房的共同之处在于它们在城镇或市中心附近。故选D。
B
The next time you’re in a town or city, see if you can spot some street art. Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and can be all sorts of things including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers and posters. Graffiti(涂鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both.
It’s important to understand that if you want to do street art in public, such as on a wall or in a park, you must have permission from whoever owns that space. You can’t just spray paint on any wall, and you must not create anything that is rude or that could upset other people.
To get involved, it’s always best to join a street art group or street art workshop. The artist helping will provide the right paints and protective equipment (masks, gloves, sheets to cover the ground), and will show you how to plan your art, how to paint on a large surface and how to make your ideas come to life.
Sophie Wheeler runs Graft, in Bristol, England. Graft holds graffiti and street art workshops. “Graffiti art is fantastic for kids,” she says. “There are no rules—you can create whatever patterns, words or characters pop into your imagination.”
If you can’t find an art group, then maybe your school art teacher can help. They could invite a street artist to visit and do a workshop. If you have a dull, blank space at school, such as a wall by a playground or a corridor, then why not suggest a mural? Besides colourful patterns, the artist often wants to create something to make people think about an issue such as climate change or perhaps to celebrate the life of a local hero.
The beauty of street art is that it doesn’t have to stay forever; it can be easily painted over, making a blank space again for new art.
4. What can we learn about graffiti from Paragraph 1?
A. It is the same as murals. B. It includes stickers and posters.
C. It only uses pictures. D. It shares something with other street art forms.
5. What does the author advise before doing street art?
A. Establishing street art workshops.
B. Selecting public places as you like.
C. Making protective equipment by yourself.
D. Considering the appropriateness of your works.
6. What do Sophie Wheeler’s words mean about graffiti?
A. It is in desperate need of rules. B. It is limited to certain patterns.
C. It encourages creativity. D. It appeals to children only.
7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Street art often carries a message.
B. Heroes affect the life of the public greatly.
C. Street art attracts people because it lasts long.
D. Climate change is the hottest topic among street artists.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种街头艺术表现形式——涂鸦，以及它的作用和意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and can be all sorts of things including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers and posters. Graffiti(涂鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both. (街头艺术通常展示在墙上或建筑物上，可以是各种各样的东西，包括壁画(墙上的大画)、贴纸和海报。涂鸦是类似的，但它使用文字或图片，或两者兼有)”可知，涂鸦与其他街头艺术形式有一些共同点。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s important to understand that if you want to do street art in public, such as on a wall or in a park, you must have permission from whoever owns that space. You can’t just spray paint on any wall, and you must not create anything that is rude or that could upset other people.(重要的是要明白，如果你想在公共场所做街头艺术，比如在墙上或公园里，你必须得到那个空间所有者的许可。你不能随便在任何墙壁上喷漆，你也不能创造任何粗鲁的东西，或者可能会让别人不高兴的东西)”可知，做街头艺术，作者建议应当考虑作品的适当性。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Sophie Wheeler所说“There are no rules—you can create whatever patterns, words or characters pop into your imagination. (没有规则——你可以创造你想象中出现的任何图案、单词或字符)”可知，Sophie Wheeler认为涂鸦能够鼓励创造力。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Besides colourful patterns, the artist often wants to create something to make people think about an issue such as climate change or perhaps to celebrate the life of a local hero. (除了色彩斑斓的图案，艺术家还经常想创作一些东西，让人们思考气候变化等问题，或者庆祝当地英雄的一生)”可知，街头艺术通常带有某种主题思想。故选A项。
C
I started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years ago!—and since then, the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right?
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown with competition and doubt.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.
And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.
This summer, I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.
8. What can we learn about the author’s experience from Paragraph 1?
A. He probably spent two months in playing the piano.
B. He began to play the piano when he was 15 years old.
C. He thought it necessary to start playing the piano early.
D. He committed himself to the piano not for financial factors.
9. Which of the following words best describes the author’s relationship with the piano?
A. Bittersweet. B. Harmonious. C. Painful. D. Passive.
10. What inspired the author to learn the guitar?
A. His teacher’s constant encouragement. B. His desire for a new relationship with music.
C. His interest in strings rather than keys. D. His talent for playing musical instruments.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Practice makes perfect B. Love cannot be forced
C. Love is a thing that grows D. There is no end to learning
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己学习乐器的经历说明爱是能够种植培养的。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right? (这是对一件我甚至不打算从中赚钱的东西的巨大投入，所以一定有值得坚持的东西，对吗?)”可知，作者投身于钢琴并非出于经济原因，没打算从中赚钱。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. (简单的猜测是，我对音乐和钢琴的爱一直是如此纯粹，以至于我不忍心让它们离开。然而，实际情况比这要复杂一些。我学钢琴很吃力。)”以及最后一段中“The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. (我对钢琴的爱恨情仇既是种植下的也是逐渐增长的。)”可知，作者和钢琴的关系是苦乐参半的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This summer, I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. (今年夏天，我开始学吉他。我有意地想要自己学习——这只是为了我自己，与音乐建立一种新的关系。)”可知，作者渴望与音乐建立一种新的关系而学习吉他。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. (我对钢琴的爱恨情仇既是种植下的也是逐渐增长的。如果你也学会了恨你曾经爱过的东西——或者你从未选择过的东西——记住：只要付出努力，它可以被连根拔起，而爱则可以在它的原地建立一个家。)”可知，本文中，作者通过自己学习乐器的经历说明爱是能够种植培养的。选项C“爱是一种种植的东西。”符合主题，适合做标题。故选C项。
D
The next time someone asks you to stop sharing your fun facts about rare coins, or teases you about your love for Norse mythology(北欧神话), tell them you’re working on your brain health.
According to a new study that examined memory in expert birdwatchers, having expert knowledge in a subject helps us memorize new information.
This is because, while forgetting often happens when similar memories interfere(干扰) with each other, expert knowledge provides a mental organizational structure that helps us keep new items that we want to learn distinct from each other.
“Unlike memory functions that tend to decrease with age, expert knowledge often continues to accumulate as we get older. This makes it an area of strength in older adults that we may be able to control and use to mitigate age-related memory decline and improve quality of life for this group,” says Dr. Erik Wing, a postdoctoral fellow at Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute.
To study the effects of expert knowledge on memory, Dr. Wing and his team took in local bird experts from community organizations such as the Toronto Ornithological Club and Toronto Field Naturalists.
To identify how knowledge changes mental organization, participants were shown sets of bird images and asked to arrange them visually on the screen according to perceived similarity.
Most experts tended to group birds based on specific features, such as the structure of the beak(喙) or the shape of the tail, even for bird species that they had never seen before. In contrast, some of the experts based their grouping on more superficial(粗浅的) features like color.
Next, the researchers tested participants’ memory. The researchers found that those who grouped birds based on specific features performed better in the memory task than those who grouped birds based on color.
While we can’t all be birdwatching experts, we are all experts in something—whether it’s sports, the Lord of the Rings trilogy or our own family and social network. In other words, we may all be able to benefit from the memory boost that expert knowledge can provide, regardless of our age.
12. Why does having expert knowledge enable us to memorize new information better?
A. It reminds people to share hobbies.
B. It records the influence of fun facts.
C. It helps reduce confusion between new items.
D. It prevents the change of a mental structure.
13. What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Confirm. B. Delay. C. Preserve. D. Follow.
14. What did Dr. Wing and his team do in their research?
A. They conducted interviews with local bird experts.
B. They carefully grouped birds based on different features.
C. They made an experiment in the Toronto Ornithological Club.
D. They compared participants’ performances in the memory task.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the possibility of getting memory boost?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Cautious.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一项研究鸟类观察专家记忆力的新研究，在某一领域拥有专业知识有助于我们记忆新信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This is because, while forgetting often happens when similar memories interfere(干扰) with each other, expert knowledge provides a mental organizational structure that helps us keep new items that we want to learn distinct from each other.(这是因为，当相似的记忆相互干扰时，往往会发生遗忘，而专业知识提供了一种心理组织结构，帮助我们将想要学习的新事物区分开来)”可知，专业知识有助于将要学习的新事物区别开，减少它们之间的混淆，因此能让我们更好地记忆新信息。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前“This makes it an area of strength in older adults that we may be able to control(这使它成为老年人的一个优势领域)”及后面“improve quality of life for this group(提高这一群体的生活质量)”可知，专业知识是老年人的一个优势，也许能够控制和利用它来缓解与年龄有关的记忆衰退，从而提高这一群体的生活质量，所以mitigate意为“减缓”。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Next, the researchers tested participants’ memory. The researchers found that those who grouped birds based on specific features performed better in the memory task than those who grouped birds based on color.(接下来，研究人员测试了参与者的记忆力。研究人员发现，那些根据特定特征对鸟类进行分组的人比那些根据颜色对鸟类进行分组的人在记忆任务中表现得更好)”可知，研究人员发现根据鸟类特征进行分组的人表现更好，说明Wing博士及其团队在研究中将参与者的表现进行了比较。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In other words, we may all be able to benefit from the memory boost that expert knowledge can provide, regardless of our age.(换句话说，无论年龄大小，我们都可能受益于专业知识所提供的增强记忆力的能力)”可知，作者对于提高记忆力的可能性持积极态度。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Insects have an important role as part of the living planet, and they make up four-fifths of all animal species. But what difference do they make to our lives?
Insects as a problem
____16____We plant crops which some insect species love, and they thrive on them. That’s when we start to call them pests.
Humans have caused some insect species to be moved from one part of the world to another—deliberately or by accident. If the introduced insect species has no natural enemies in their new home, they can become a real problem. A recent UK example is the Harlequin ladybird, which has found its way to Britain and eats other ladybirds.
Some insects can sting, bite, or transmit disease to humans.____17____Mosquitoes, for example, gain nourishment by sucking blood, and in the process they can transmit diseases, such as malaria.
So, when it comes to insects, its important to understand the consequences of human actions.
Insects as an opportunity
Insects are very important as pollinators(传粉者). Bees are perhaps the best example of this. ____18____Pollination is needed before many crops and fruits that we eat can be formed.
Insects are also useful as models in scientific research. The Fruit Fly is a good example. It breeds rapidly, and can produce very many generations per year in the laboratory, so it is ideal for the study of evolution.____19____
Insects can be useful to the gardener too—ladybirds, for example, are the gardeners’ friend because they eat aphids. Hoverflies and wasps also hunt and kill other insects for food in the garden. These species are called predators(捕食者).
____20____
A. Without them, many crops would fail.
B. Many insect species compete with us for food.
C. And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!
D. Many of these have been caused by human activities.
E. Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.
F. Many pests can be controlled by spraying with chemical pesticides.
G. In fact, many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了昆虫是地球生命的重要组成部分，它们占所有动物物种的五分之四，以及它们对我们人类的生活带来的影响。
【16题详解】
根据下文“We plant crops which some insect species love, and they thrive on them. That’s when we start to call them pests.”（我们种植一些昆虫喜欢的作物，它们在这些作物上茁壮成长。这时我们才开始叫它们害虫。）提出为什么昆虫作为一种害虫。结合选项B项Many insect species compete with us for food.（许多昆虫种类与我们争夺食物。）引起下文的话题，因为昆虫与我们争夺食物，所以我们才开始叫它们害虫。上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
【17题详解】
上文“Some insects can sting, bite, or transmit disease to humans.”（有些昆虫会叮人、咬人或将疾病传播给人类。）提到昆虫会叮人、咬人。下文“Mosquitoes, for example, gain nourishment by sucking blood, and in the process they can transmit diseases, such as malaria.”（例如，蚊子通过吸血获得营养，在这个过程中它们会传播疾病，如疟疾。）为具体举出例子说明昆虫叮咬的原因。结合选项E项Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.（有时有人开玩笑说，这是因为他们觉得我们好吃。）为上下文的承上启下，起到上下文语意衔接作用。故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“Insects are very important as pollinators. Bees are perhaps the best example of this.”（昆虫是非常重要的传粉者。蜜蜂可能是最好的例子。）说明昆虫的作用。下文“Pollination is needed before many crops and fruits that we eat can be formed.”（我们吃的许多作物和水果在形成之前都需要授粉。）为具体作用发挥到人类生活中。故可推断空格处内容为说明这些昆虫的重要性。结合选项A项Without them, many crops would fail.（没有它们，许多作物就会歉收。）符合此推断内容，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【19题详解】
由该空格处位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“Insects are also useful as models in scientific research. The Fruit Fly is a good example. It breeds rapidly, and can produce very many generations per year in the laboratory, so it is ideal for the study of evolution.”（昆虫在科学研究中也是有用的模型。果蝇就是一个很好的例子。它繁殖迅速，在实验室里每年可以繁殖很多代，因此是研究进化的理想选择。）主要讲的是昆虫是研究进化的理想选择。结合选项G项In fact, many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.（事实上，如果没有它，许多基因发现就无法实现。）与上文所说内容一致，为总结该段内容。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Insects can be useful to the gardener too—ladybirds, for example, are the gardeners’ friend because they eat aphids. Hoverflies and wasps also hunt and kill other insects for food in the garden. These species are called predators.”（昆虫对园丁也很有用，比如瓢虫，它们是园丁的朋友，因为它们吃蚜虫。食蚜蝇和黄蜂也在花园里猎杀其他昆虫作为食物。这些物种被称为掠食者。）可知，主要讲的是昆虫也会吃掉其它的昆虫，说明捕食关系。结合选项C项And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!（别忘了昆虫也可以被人类吃掉！）说明人类也会吃掉昆虫，也是说明一种物种之间的捕食关系。上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
ALEX pedaled his bike along the country lane that led to his house. As he rounded a bend, the tips of the cattails that grew around Johnson’s Pond came into view. His dad took him canoeing there sometimes, and Alex loved it. The pond was always so alive with activity. Frogs croaked along the shore, dragonflies hunted among the cattails, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) basking(晒太阳) on sunny rocks.
Alex was curious about the turtles he saw. One week, when it was too rainy to go canoeing, he and his dad went to the library to check out books on turtles. Alex learned that turtles don’t have warm blood like people do. That’s why they have to sit in the sun to warm themselves. Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day. He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.
Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead. It looked like a big gray rock. But it was a funny place for a rock to be.
And then, as Alex watched, the rock started to move.
When he rode his bike up to get a closer look, he saw that it wasn’t a rock at all. It was a large turtle crawled its way across the road. It had a bony, beak-shaped mouth and a long, jagged tail. Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
He also knew not to get too close. He had read that a snapping turtle has a powerful bite even though it doesn’t have teeth. It could even bite off someone’s finger. He stood at a distance and watched the turtle move slowly over the road.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching. The turtle was still only halfway across the road. Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up to move it safely to the grass. What could he do?
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Thinking fast, he started jumping up and down and waving both hands wildly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To make the warning sign, Alex hurried back home and started his work with some leftover wood and paint.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Thinking fast, he started jumping up and down and waving both hands wildly. “Stop! Stop!” he cried. The car slowed to a stop, and the driver stuck his head out of the window with a puzzled look. Alex darted forward and pointed at the moving turtle. “I’m just trying to save it.” he explained. With an understanding smile, the driver applauded his efforts. Seeing the car pulling away, Alex was lost in deep thoughts. “Maybe I could put up a sign to warn people there were turtles crossing the road,” he said to himself.
To make the sign Alex hurried back home and found some leftover wood and paint. He hammered nails into the wood to make a flat board, after which he painted a vivid picture of a turtle in the middle and added “Slow! Turtles Crossing” at the bottom. He had completed all his work when Dad arrived home, who offered to carry the sign to the spot. Together they fixed the sign into the ground by the side of the road. With their work done, they both breathed a sigh of relief and headed home with great satisfaction.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alex沿着乡间小路骑自行车回家时，看到有一只啮龟在路上慢慢移动，他在书上读到过，啮龟的咬合力很强，甚至能咬掉人的手指，所以他不能把它捡起来安全地转移，这时一辆汽车驶来，啮龟还在半路上，他能怎么办呢？
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他快速地思考着，开始上蹿下跳，疯狂地挥舞着双手。”可知，第一段可描写Alex示意司机停车，并想出立牌子提醒人们的办法。
②由第二段首句内容“为了制作标牌，Alex匆忙赶回家，找到了一些剩余的木头和油漆。”可知，第二段可描写Alex回家制作牌子并和爸爸一起钉在路边的地上。
2.续写线索：
司机停车——解释原因——想出办法——回家制作牌子——把牌子钉在路边——满足
3.词汇激活

When you’re not enjoying a barbecue in the backyard, walk into Scottsdale’s modern downtown district for dinner.
The Catskills New York
Surround yourself with nature while you work-from-home at this quiet and private, 4-acre red cottage in the Catskills region.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Carmel-by-the-Sea, California的“Charming Carmel has world-class restaurants, art galleries and wine tasting rooms.(迷人的Carmel有世界一流的餐厅，艺术画廊和葡萄酒品尝室。)”可知，Carmel-by-the-Sea适合艺术爱好者，故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Scottsdale, Arizona部分的“With over 300 days of sunshine and boundless outdoor activities, Arizona is an outdoor heaven for all ages.(超过300天的阳光和无边无际的户外活动，Arizona州是所有年龄的户外天堂。)”可知，Scottsdale是户外运动的好地方。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据San Antonio, Texas部分的“The house on its own is excellent, but what is close to downtown San Antonia is like a cherry on top.(房子本身就很好，但靠近圣安东尼亚市中心的地方就像锦上添花一样。)”，Carmel-by-the-Sea, California部分的“You’ll have both the beach and town within walking distance.(海滩和城镇都在步行范围内。)”，Scottsdale, Arizona部分的“When you’re not enjoying a barbecue in the backyard, walk into Scottsdale’s modern downtown district for dinner.(如果你不喜欢在后院烧烤，那就走进斯科茨代尔的现代闹市区吃晚餐。)”和The Catskills, New York部分的“When you have to go back to civilization, the lovable mountain town of Woodstock is just 10 minutes away.(当你不得不回到文明世界，可爱的山城伍德斯托克只有10分钟的路程。)”可知，这四套出租房的共同之处在于它们在城镇或市中心附近。故选D。
B
The next time you’re in a town or city, see if you can spot some street art. Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and can be all sorts of things including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers and posters. Graffiti(涂鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both.
It’s important to understand that if you want to do street art in public, such as on a wall or in a park, you must have permission from whoever owns that space. You can’t just spray paint on any wall, and you must not create anything that is rude or that could upset other people.
To get involved, it’s always best to join a street art group or street art workshop. The artist helping will provide the right paints and protective equipment (masks, gloves, sheets to cover the ground), and will show you how to plan your art, how to paint on a large surface and how to make your ideas come to life.
Sophie Wheeler runs Graft, in Bristol, England. Graft holds graffiti and street art workshops. “Graffiti art is fantastic for kids,” she says. “There are no rules—you can create whatever patterns, words or characters pop into your imagination.”
If you can’t find an art group, then maybe your school art teacher can help. They could invite a street artist to visit and do a workshop. If you have a dull, blank space at school, such as a wall by a playground or a corridor, then why not suggest a mural? Besides colourful patterns, the artist often wants to create something to make people think about an issue such as climate change or perhaps to celebrate the life of a local hero.
The beauty of street art is that it doesn’t have to stay forever; it can be easily painted over, making a blank space again for new art.
4. What can we learn about graffiti from Paragraph 1?
A. It is the same as murals. B. It includes stickers and posters.
C. It only uses pictures. D. It shares something with other street art forms.
5. What does the author advise before doing street art?
A. Establishing street art workshops.
B. Selecting public places as you like.
C. Making protective equipment by yourself.
D. Considering the appropriateness of your works.
6. What do Sophie Wheeler’s words mean about graffiti?
A. It is in desperate need of rules. B. It is limited to certain patterns.
C. It encourages creativity. D. It appeals to children only.
7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Street art often carries a message.
B. Heroes affect the life of the public greatly.
C. Street art attracts people because it lasts long.
D. Climate change is the hottest topic among street artists.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种街头艺术表现形式——涂鸦，以及它的作用和意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Street art is often displayed on walls or buildings and can be all sorts of things including murals (large paintings on a wall), stickers and posters. Graffiti(涂鸦) is similar but it uses words or pictures or both. (街头艺术通常展示在墙上或建筑物上，可以是各种各样的东西，包括壁画(墙上的大画)、贴纸和海报。涂鸦是类似的，但它使用文字或图片，或两者兼有)”可知，涂鸦与其他街头艺术形式有一些共同点。故选D项。

I started playing the piano when I was around four years old—that was 15 years ago!—and since then, the longest I haven’t touched piano keys was probably two months. This was an enormous amount of devotion to something that I wasn’t even planning to make money off of it—so there must have been something worth holding on to, right?
The easy guess is that I was always so purely in love with music and piano that I couldn’t bear to let them go. However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. I struggled a lot with piano. I felt pressure to improve, innovate, and be the best in order to prove something to others. The seed of my musical interest was grown with competition and doubt.
It’s difficult to learn to love something that you didn’t choose in the first place. But somehow, sometime, love grew. And by high school, it was strong enough that I found the strength to hold on tighter, dig further, and find something of my own to grow. In a way, I had to start over.
And so, I took a pause. I switched teachers, and got incredibly lucky with one who encouraged me and helped me tunnel into what I loved, not what I was told I should learn. Anything I had was good enough to be loved.
This summer, I started learning the guitar. I deliberately wanted to learn on my own—this was just for me, to form a new relationship to music. Even though my guitar skills are miles lower than my piano skills, I feel I can express myself even more wholly through strings than keys. There’s just something about doing it all for myself that has helped me heal the damages to my relationship to music.
The love and hate I’ve had for the piano were both planted and grown. If you too have learned to hate something you once loved—or something you never chose—remember that with dedication, it can be uprooted, and love can make a home in its place. There is always time. There is always room.

D
The next time someone asks you to stop sharing your fun facts about rare coins, or teases you about your love for Norse mythology(北欧神话), tell them you’re working on your brain health.
According to a new study that examined memory in expert birdwatchers, having expert knowledge in a subject helps us memorize new information.
This is because, while forgetting often happens when similar memories interfere(干扰) with each other, expert knowledge provides a mental organizational structure that helps us keep new items that we want to learn distinct from each other.
“Unlike memory functions that tend to decrease with age, expert knowledge often continues to accumulate as we get older. This makes it an area of strength in older adults that we may be able to control and use to mitigate age-related memory decline and improve quality of life for this group,” says Dr. Erik Wing, a postdoctoral fellow at Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute.
To study the effects of expert knowledge on memory, Dr. Wing and his team took in local bird experts from community organizations such as the Toronto Ornithological Club and Toronto Field Naturalists.
To identify how knowledge changes mental organization, participants were shown sets of bird images and asked to arrange them visually on the screen according to perceived similarity.
Most experts tended to group birds based on specific features, such as the structure of the beak(喙) or the shape of the tail, even for bird species that they had never seen before. In contrast, some of the experts based their grouping on more superficial(粗浅的) features like color.
Next, the researchers tested participants’ memory. The researchers found that those who grouped birds based on specific features performed better in the memory task than those who grouped birds based on color.
While we can’t all be birdwatching experts, we are all experts in something—whether it’s sports, the Lord of the Rings trilogy or our own family and social network. In other words, we may all be able to benefit from the memory boost that expert knowledge can provide, regardless of our age.
12. Why does having expert knowledge enable us to memorize new information better?
A. It reminds people to share hobbies.
B. It records the influence of fun facts.
C. It helps reduce confusion between new items.
D. It prevents the change of a mental structure.
13. What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Confirm. B. Delay. C. Preserve. D. Follow.
14. What did Dr. Wing and his team do in their research?
A. They conducted interviews with local bird experts.
B. They carefully grouped birds based on different features.
C. They made an experiment in the Toronto Ornithological Club.
D. They compared participants’ performances in the memory task.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the possibility of getting memory boost?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Cautious.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一项研究鸟类观察专家记忆力的新研究，在某一领域拥有专业知识有助于我们记忆新信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This is because, while forgetting often happens when similar memories interfere(干扰) with each other, expert knowledge provides a mental organizational structure that helps us keep new items that we want to learn distinct from each other.(这是因为，当相似的记忆相互干扰时，往往会发生遗忘，而专业知识提供了一种心理组织结构，帮助我们将想要学习的新事物区分开来)”可知，专业知识有助于将要学习的新事物区别开，减少它们之间的混淆，因此能让我们更好地记忆新信息。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前“This makes it an area of strength in older adults that we may be able to control(这使它成为老年人的一个优势领域)”及后面“improve quality of life for this group(提高这一群体的生活质量)”可知，专业知识是老年人的一个优势，也许能够控制和利用它来缓解与年龄有关的记忆衰退，从而提高这一群体的生活质量，所以mitigate意为“减缓”。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Next, the researchers tested participants’ memory. The researchers found that those who grouped birds based on specific features performed better in the memory task than those who grouped birds based on color.(接下来，研究人员测试了参与者的记忆力。研究人员发现，那些根据特定特征对鸟类进行分组的人比那些根据颜色对鸟类进行分组的人在记忆任务中表现得更好)”可知，研究人员发现根据鸟类特征进行分组的人表现更好，说明Wing博士及其团队在研究中将参与者的表现进行了比较。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In other words, we may all be able to benefit from the memory boost that expert knowledge can provide, regardless of our age.(换句话说，无论年龄大小，我们都可能受益于专业知识所提供的增强记忆力的能力)”可知，作者对于提高记忆力的可能性持积极态度。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Insects have an important role as part of the living planet, and they make up four-fifths of all animal species. But what difference do they make to our lives?
Insects as a problem
____16____We plant crops which some insect species love, and they thrive on them. That’s when we start to call them pests.
Humans have caused some insect species to be moved from one part of the world to another—deliberately or by accident. If the introduced insect species has no natural enemies in their new home, they can become a real problem. A recent UK example is the Harlequin ladybird, which has found its way to Britain and eats other ladybirds.
Some insects can sting, bite, or transmit disease to humans.____17____Mosquitoes, for example, gain nourishment by sucking blood, and in the process they can transmit diseases, such as malaria.
So, when it comes to insects, its important to understand the consequences of human actions.
Insects as an opportunity
Insects are very important as pollinators(传粉者). Bees are perhaps the best example of this. ____18____Pollination is needed before many crops and fruits that we eat can be formed.
Insects are also useful as models in scientific research. The Fruit Fly is a good example. It breeds rapidly, and can produce very many generations per year in the laboratory, so it is ideal for the study of evolution.____19____
Insects can be useful to the gardener too—ladybirds, for example, are the gardeners’ friend because they eat aphids. Hoverflies and wasps also hunt and kill other insects for food in the garden. These species are called predators(捕食者).
____20____
A. Without them, many crops would fail.
B. Many insect species compete with us for food.
C. And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!
D. Many of these have been caused by human activities.
E. Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.
F. Many pests can be controlled by spraying with chemical pesticides.
G. In fact, many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. C
【解析】

【16题详解】
根据下文“We plant crops which some insect species love, and they thrive on them. That’s when we start to call them pests.”（我们种植一些昆虫喜欢的作物，它们在这些作物上茁壮成长。这时我们才开始叫它们害虫。）提出为什么昆虫作为一种害虫。结合选项B项Many insect species compete with us for food.（许多昆虫种类与我们争夺食物。）引起下文的话题，因为昆虫与我们争夺食物，所以我们才开始叫它们害虫。上下文语意连贯。故选B项。
【17题详解】
上文“Some insects can sting, bite, or transmit disease to humans.”（有些昆虫会叮人、咬人或将疾病传播给人类。）提到昆虫会叮人、咬人。下文“Mosquitoes, for example, gain nourishment by sucking blood, and in the process they can transmit diseases, such as malaria.”（例如，蚊子通过吸血获得营养，在这个过程中它们会传播疾病，如疟疾。）为具体举出例子说明昆虫叮咬的原因。结合选项E项Sometimes it is joked that this is because they find us tasty.（有时有人开玩笑说，这是因为他们觉得我们好吃。）为上下文的承上启下，起到上下文语意衔接作用。故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“Insects are very important as pollinators. Bees are perhaps the best example of this.”（昆虫是非常重要的传粉者。蜜蜂可能是最好的例子。）说明昆虫的作用。下文“Pollination is needed before many crops and fruits that we eat can be formed.”（我们吃的许多作物和水果在形成之前都需要授粉。）为具体作用发挥到人类生活中。故可推断空格处内容为说明这些昆虫的重要性。结合选项A项Without them, many crops would fail.（没有它们，许多作物就会歉收。）符合此推断内容，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【19题详解】
由该空格处位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“Insects are also useful as models in scientific research. The Fruit Fly is a good example. It breeds rapidly, and can produce very many generations per year in the laboratory, so it is ideal for the study of evolution.”（昆虫在科学研究中也是有用的模型。果蝇就是一个很好的例子。它繁殖迅速，在实验室里每年可以繁殖很多代，因此是研究进化的理想选择。）主要讲的是昆虫是研究进化的理想选择。结合选项G项In fact, many genetic discoveries couldn’t have been made without it.（事实上，如果没有它，许多基因发现就无法实现。）与上文所说内容一致，为总结该段内容。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Insects can be useful to the gardener too—ladybirds, for example, are the gardeners’ friend because they eat aphids. Hoverflies and wasps also hunt and kill other insects for food in the garden. These species are called predators.”（昆虫对园丁也很有用，比如瓢虫，它们是园丁的朋友，因为它们吃蚜虫。食蚜蝇和黄蜂也在花园里猎杀其他昆虫作为食物。这些物种被称为掠食者。）可知，主要讲的是昆虫也会吃掉其它的昆虫，说明捕食关系。结合选项C项And don’t forget insects can also be eaten by man!（别忘了昆虫也可以被人类吃掉！）说明人类也会吃掉昆虫，也是说明一种物种之间的捕食关系。上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear editor,
Knowing that our school newspaper is collecting English slogans for the Science&Technology Festival to be held in December, I’m writing to recommend mine, which I believe can fully reveal the theme.
“Science and technology brightens our life” is the one I choose since technological advances have brought us tremendous benefits. For instance, we’re now living comfortably and conveniently in houses equipped with various intelligent home appliances. Besides, our working efficiency has been dramatically increased with the help of the Internet.
I would appreciate it if you can take my slogan into account. Wish this festival a huge success!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
ALEX pedaled his bike along the country lane that led to his house. As he rounded a bend, the tips of the cattails that grew around Johnson’s Pond came into view. His dad took him canoeing there sometimes, and Alex loved it. The pond was always so alive with activity. Frogs croaked along the shore, dragonflies hunted among the cattails, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) basking(晒太阳) on sunny rocks.
Alex was curious about the turtles he saw. One week, when it was too rainy to go canoeing, he and his dad went to the library to check out books on turtles. Alex learned that turtles don’t have warm blood like people do. That’s why they have to sit in the sun to warm themselves. Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day. He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.
Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead. It looked like a big gray rock. But it was a funny place for a rock to be.
And then, as Alex watched, the rock started to move.
When he rode his bike up to get a closer look, he saw that it wasn’t a rock at all. It was a large turtle crawled its way across the road. It had a bony, beak-shaped mouth and a long, jagged tail. Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
He also knew not to get too close. He had read that a snapping turtle has a powerful bite even though it doesn’t have teeth. It could even bite off someone’s finger. He stood at a distance and watched the turtle move slowly over the road.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching. The turtle was still only halfway across the road. Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up to move it safely to the grass. What could he do?

【答案】One possible version:
Thinking fast, he started jumping up and down and waving both hands wildly. “Stop! Stop!” he cried. The car slowed to a stop, and the driver stuck his head out of the window with a puzzled look. Alex darted forward and pointed at the moving turtle. “I’m just trying to save it.” he explained. With an understanding smile, the driver applauded his efforts. Seeing the car pulling away, Alex was lost in deep thoughts. “Maybe I could put up a sign to warn people there were turtles crossing the road,” he said to himself.
To make the sign Alex hurried back home and found some leftover wood and paint. He hammered nails into the wood to make a flat board, after which he painted a vivid picture of a turtle in the middle and added “Slow! Turtles Crossing” at the bottom. He had completed all his work when Dad arrived home, who offered to carry the sign to the spot. Together they fixed the sign into the ground by the side of the road. With their work done, they both breathed a sigh of relief and headed home with great satisfaction.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alex沿着乡间小路骑自行车回家时，看到有一只啮龟在路上慢慢移动，他在书上读到过，啮龟的咬合力很强，甚至能咬掉人的手指，所以他不能把它捡起来安全地转移，这时一辆汽车驶来，啮龟还在半路上，他能怎么办呢？
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他快速地思考着，开始上蹿下跳，疯狂地挥舞着双手。”可知，第一段可描写Alex示意司机停车，并想出立牌子提醒人们的办法。
②由第二段首句内容“为了制作标牌，Alex匆忙赶回家，找到了一些剩余的木头和油漆。”可知，第二段可描写Alex回家制作牌子并和爸爸一起钉在路边的地上。
2.续写线索：
司机停车——解释原因——想出办法——回家制作牌子——把牌子钉在路边——满足
3.词汇激活

①呼喊：cry/shout
②称赞：applaud/praise
