The pwer f “seeing”
A spn-billed sandpiper (勺嘴鹬) steps int the frame, heading straight fr a small bug placed there. It swallws its fd with its spn-shaped beak.
The perfrmance is fr Jel Sartre, funder f Pht Ark, a persnal effrt t dcument animals arund the wrld.
The critically endangered bird, f which there are fewer than 1,000 individuals in the wild, is the 13,000th species Sartre has phtgraphed in 16 years. His gal is 20,000.
Befre he started Pht Ark, Sartre spent mre than a decade wrking as a phtgrapher fr Natinal Gegraphic, mainly cvering cnservatin stries in the field. He had seen wildlife decreasing firsthand, but felt like the public wasn’t interested.
Sartre thught f a new way t inspire peple. He picked up his camera and set abut taking shts f wildlife-but rather than recrding animals in the wild, he wanted t phtgraph them utside their natural habitat. He visited zs, aquariums and rehabilitatin (康复) centers and phtgraphed prtraits f individual animals against a white r black backdrp (背景幕).
“This allws yu t lk them in the eye and see that there’s great beauty there and that they are wrth saving,” he said. “We are primates and we respnd t eye cntact abve all else.”
The respnse has indeed been huge. Sartre has mre than 1.6 millin fllwers n Instagram and a best-selling series f Pht Ark bks. Part f the prceeds (收益) frm his bks ges t fund n-the-grund cnservatin effrts.
Gary Ward wh wrks at Lndn Z where Sartre has sht befre, said, “Seeing is the first step t caring, and caring is the first step t cnservatin actin.”
By chsing animals utside their natural habitat, Sartre admits he will nly shw a small part f the wrld’s wildlife. Accrding t the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature, there are mre than 2 millin described species n the planet, and he plans t phtgraph just 1% f them. But ding s allws him t sptlight species that are already extinct in the wild, and thse that wuld be difficult t take prtraits f in their natural habitat. It als enables him t sht in a cntrlled envirnment, meaning the animal can be kept safe and cmfrtable, with zkeepers r carers n hand t advise n its behavir.
4. What is Sartre ding at the beginning f the text?
A. He is feeding a bird.B. He is training a bird.
C. He is phtgraphing a bird.D. He is studying a bird’s behavir.
5. What des Sartre aim t d with his Pht Ark?
A. Make a recrd f cnservatin stries.
B. Braden his experience in saving animals.
C. Gather infrmatin n endangered species.
D. Raise peple’s awareness f prtecting wildlife.
6. What is Gary Ward’s attitude twards Sartre’s wrk?
A. Unclear.B. Apprving.C. Dubtful.D. Objective.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Why Sartre fcuses n animals in human care.
B. Why Sartre can’t cver all animals in the wrld.
C. The benefits f wrking with zkeepers r carers.
D. The difficulties f phtgraphing animals in the wild.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。当代著名自然摄影师乔尔·萨尔托雷发起了“影像方舟”的计刻，即在全球濒危野生动物消失前，留下它们珍贵的影像。他希望以影像的力量唤起大家共同关注，助力守护濒危野生动物。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A spn-billed sandpiper steps int the frame, heading straight fr a small bug placed there. It swallws its fd with its spn-shaped beak.(一只勺嘴鹬走进镜头，直奔放在那里的一只小虫子。它用匙形喙吞咽食物。)”可知，萨尔托雷在拍摄一只鸟，故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“He had seen wildlife decreasing firsthand, but felt like the public wasn’t interested.(他亲眼目睹了野生动物的减少，但觉得公众对此不感兴趣)”和第五段第一句“Sartre thught f a new way t inspire peple.(萨尔托雷思考了一种激励人们的新方式)”可知，萨尔托雷在拍摄时发现许多野生动物正在减少，但是发现大众并不感兴趣，所以他成立了Pht Ark，其目的是唤起大家共同的关注，提高人们保护野生动物的意识，故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Seeing is the first step t caring, and caring is the first step t cnservatin actin.(看到是关爱的第一步，关爱是保护行动的第一步。)”可推断出加里·沃德对萨尔托雷拍摄动物引起大众关注这种行为是持支持赞成的态度，故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But ding s allws him t sptlight species that are already extinct in the wild, and thse that wuld be difficult t take prtraits f in their natural habitat. It als enables him t sht in a cntrlled envirnment, meaning the animal can be kept safe and cmfrtable, with zkeepers r carers n hand t advise n its behavir(这样做可以让他关注那些已经在野外灭绝的物种，以及那些在自然栖息地难以拍摄肖像的物种。它还使它能够在受控的环境中拍摄，这意味着动物可以保持安全和舒适，动物园管理员或看护人员随时为它的行为提供建议)”可知最后一段主要讲的是为什么萨尔托雷关注人类护理中的动物，故选A项。
C
It is a self-evident fact that music study bsts yur artistic ability, but have yu thught f that yur academic perfrmance is actually hugely benefited? Music study has been linked t academic achievements in many studies and serius music training is reprted t be assciated with success in many ther fields. I hpe yu wuld nt be t surprised t hear that many utstanding prfessinals in industries frm tech t finance t media are fund t be amateur musicians and playing music as their regular past-times.
The phenmenn extends beynd the widely-knwn math-music assciatin. Strikingly, many high achievers tld me music pened up the pathways t creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens ther qualities: Cllectin-the ability t listen, a way f thinking that jins tgether separate ideas, and the pwer t fcus n the present and the future at the same time.
It is in this cntext that the cnnectin between math and music grabs the mst attentin. Bth are at heart mdes f expressin. Bruce Kvner, the funder f the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxtn Assciates, says he sees similarities between his pian playing and investing strategy; as he says, bth “relate t pattern cgnitin, and sme peple extend these patterns acrss different senses”.
Fr Rger McNamee, whse Elevatin Partners is perhaps best knwn fr its early investment in Facebk, “music and technlgy have met and befriended,” he says. He became expert n Facebk by using it t prmte his band, Mnalice, and nw is fcusing n vide by live-streaming its cncerts. He says musicians and tp prfessinals share “the almst desperate need t dive deep”. This capacity f getting int smething in a real way seems t unite tp perfrmers in music and ther fields.
“I’ve always believed the reasn I’ve gtten ahead is by utwrking ther peple,” he says. It’s a skill learned by “playing that sl ne mre time, wrking n that ne little sectin ne mre time,” and it translates int “wrking n smething ver and ver again, r duble-checking r triple-checking.” He adds, “there is nthing like music t teach yu that eventually if yu wrk hard enugh, it des get better. Yu see the results.” That’s an bservatin wrth remembering at a time when music as a serius pursuit is in decline in this cuntry.
8. Based n the passage, music training can enhance all f the fllwing abilities EXCEPT
A. handling the present with a lng-range visinB. thinking frm ther peple’s perspective
C. listening t different pinins patientlyD. identifying cnnectin between different ideas
9. Which f the fllwing is cnsidered bearing similarities with music?
A. Hedge fund.B. Patterns.C. Different senses.D. Mathematics.
10. What des Rger McNamee mean by saying “music and technlgy have met and befriended”?
A. Musical techniques are directly used in managing business.
B. Advanced technlgy makes sund better than befre.
C. Facebk has becme a platfrm fr prmting music albums.
D. Technlgy has increased the channels by which music is prmted.
11. What des the underlined wrd “bservatin” in the last paragraph refer t?
A. The claim that music is the key t success.
B. The belief that results determine the value f music.
C. The idea that hard wrk keeps getting yu ahead.
D. The prpsal that ne shuld pursue music seriusly.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍音乐的价值，音乐与很多领域都有关系，所以文章建议我们要认真追求音乐。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens ther qualities: Cllectin-the ability t listen, a way f thinking that jins tgether separate ideas, and the pwer t fcus n the present and the future at the same time.(他们的经验表明，音乐训练还能提高其他素质：收集——倾听的能力，将不同想法结合在一起的思维方式，以及同时关注现在和未来的能力。)”可知，音乐训练可以提高：用长远的视野思考来处理现在的能力，耐心地听取不同意见的能力，找出不同想法之间联系的能力，B项“从别人的角度思考”没有提到，故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It is in this cntext that the cnnectin between math and music grabs the mst attentin. Bruce Kvner, the funder f the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxtn Assciates, says he sees similarities between his pian playing and investing strategy; as he says, bth “relate t pattern cgnitin, and sme peple extend these patterns acrss different senses”.(正是在这种背景下，数学和音乐之间的联系最受关注。对冲基金Caxtn Assciates的创始人布鲁斯•科夫纳（Bruce Kvner）表示，他发现自己的钢琴演奏和投资策略之间存在相似之处；正如他所说，两者“都与模式认知有关，有些人将这些模式扩展到不同的感官”。)”可知，该段用布鲁斯•科夫纳（Bruce Kvner）的例子来表明音乐与数学之间的相似之处，钢琴演奏与投资策略相似，钢琴演奏涉及的是音乐，投资策略涉及数学方面的知识，且二者都与模式认识有关，由此可知，音乐与数学之间有相似之处，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He became expert n Facebk by using it t prmte his band, Mnalice, and nw is fcusing n vide by live-streaming its cncerts. He says musicians and tp prfessinals share “the almst desperate need t dive deep”. This capacity f getting int smething in a real way seems t unite tp perfrmers in music and ther fields.(他通过使用Facebk来宣传自己的乐队Mnalice，成为了Facebk方面的专家。现在，他通过直播其音乐会来关注视频。他表示，音乐家和顶级专业人士都有“几乎迫切需要深度挖掘”的共同点。这种真正进入某个领域的能力似乎将音乐和其他领域的顶级演奏者联合在了一起。)”可推知，技术和音乐相互作用，结合选项可推知，罗杰·麦克纳米所说的“音乐和科技相遇并成为朋友”指的是技术增加了音乐推广的渠道。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“He adds, “there is nthing like music t teach yu that eventually if yu wrk hard enugh, it des get better. Yu see the results.”(他补充道:“没有什么比音乐更能教会你，如果你足够努力，最终会变得更好。你看到了结果。”)”和划线单词所在句子“That’s an bservatin wrth remembering at a time when music as a serius pursuit is in decline in this cuntry.(在这个国家，当音乐作为一种严肃的追求正在衰落时，这是一个值得记住的bservatin 。)”可知，音乐能教会人们很多，没有什么比音乐更能教会你，所以应该认真追求音乐，但是音乐作为一个严肃的追求正在这个国家衰落，所以我们应该记住这样一个建议：一个人应该认真追求音乐，由此可知，划线单词“bservatin”指的是认真追求音乐的建议，故选D。
D
D rewards really bring desirable results? Three researchers, psychlgists Mark Lepper, David Greene, and Richard Nisbett, watched a classrm f preschlers fr several days and identified the children wh chse t spend their “free play” time drawing. Then they cnducted an experiment t test the effect f rewarding an activity these children clearly enjyed.
The researchers divided the children int three grups. The first was the “expected-award” grup. They shwed each f these children a “Gd Player” certificate decrated with a blue ribbn and featuring the child’s name and asked if the child wanted t draw in rder t receive the award. The secnd grup was the “unexpected-award” grup. Researchers asked these children simply if they wanted t draw. If they decided t, when the sessin ended, the researchers handed each child ne f the “Gd Player” certificates. The third grup was the “n-award” grup. Researchers asked these children if they wanted t draw, but neither prmised them a certificate at the beginning nr gave them ne at the end.
Tw weeks later, back in the classrm, teachers set ut paper and markers during the preschl’s free play perid while the researchers secretly bserved the students. Children previusly in the “unexpected-award” and “n-award” grups drew just as much, and with the same relish as they had befre the experiment. But children in the first grup-the nes wh’d expected and then received an award-shwed much less interest and spent much less time drawing. Even tw weeks later, thse appealing prizes-s cmmn in classrms-had turned play int wrk.
Based n the research, cntingent (连带的) rewards-if yu d this, then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple. “If-then” rewards require peple t sacrifice sme f their autnmy. They’re n lnger fully cntrlling their lives. And that can spring a hle in the bttm f their mtivatinal bucket, draining an activity f its enjyment.
Other researchers fund similar results with adults. These insights prved s surprising, which called int questin a standard practice f mst cmpanies and schls: prmising and giving rewards, especially material nes, t desirable behavirs and results. As ne leading behaviral science textbk puts it, “Peple use rewards expecting t gain the benefit f increasing anther persn’s mtivatin and behavir, but in s ding, they ften bear the unintentinal and hidden cst f weakening that persn’s inner mtivatin tward the activity.”
12. It can be inferred frm the passage that Lepper, Greene, and Nisbett’s experiment was designed t ensure that ________.
A. all children wh were part f the expected-award grup were nt distracted by the prmise f an award while drawing
B. all children wh participated in the experiment were knwn t enjy drawing
C. all children wh displayed equal levels f enthusiasm fr drawing wuld be gruped tgether
D. all children wh did nt receive an award wuld maintain their mtivatin t draw
13. The underlined wrd “relish” mst nearly means ________.
A. diversityB. flavrC. pleasureD. style
14. Based n the passage, which f the fllwing activities wuld mst likely affect peple’s inner mtivatin in a negative way?
A. Orally encurage students wh have helped in grup prjects.
B. Offer sheets f paper academic reprts t students abut their perfrmance f the semester.
C. Prmise t award students financially wh used t cntribute t the class activities vluntarily.
D. Shw gratitude t yur family members fr their uncnditinal lve.
15. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Enjy painting, enjy lifeB. D the best, expect the least
C. Practice self-cntrl t achieve mreD. Award: mtivatinal r nt?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过实验证明了奖励可能会给内部动机带来负面影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“D rewards really bring desirable results? Three researchers, psychlgists Mark Lepper, David Greene, and Richard Nisbett, watched a classrm f preschlers fr several days and identified the children wh chse t spend their “free play” time drawing. (奖励真的能带来理想的结果吗?心理学家马克·莱珀、大卫·格林和理查德·尼斯贝特这三位研究人员对一间教室的学龄前儿童进行了几天的观察，并找出了那些选择在“自由玩耍”时间画画的孩子)”可知，三个心理学家的实验对象是闲暇时间会选择画画的小孩。由此推知，他们的实验要确保参与的所有孩子都喜欢画画。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Children previusly in the “unexpected-award” and “n-award” grups drew just as much, and with the same relish as they had befre the experiment. (之前在“意外奖励”组和“没有奖励”组的孩子画的画和实验前一样多，也一样有relish)”中的“as they had befre the experiment”并结合第一段提到实验对象都是喜欢画画的孩子可知，“意外奖励”组和“没有奖励”组的孩子画的画且与实验前一样对画画感兴趣。因此猜测，relish意为“兴趣，乐趣”，与pleasure同义。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“But children in the first grup-the nes wh’d expected and then received an award-shwed much less interest and spent much less time drawing.(但是第一组的孩子——那些期待并得到奖励的孩子——表现出更少的兴趣，花更少的时间画画)”和第四段的“Based n the research, cntingent (连带的) rewards-if yu d this, then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple.(根据这项研究，偶然的奖励——如果你做了这个，你就会得到那个——对人们有显著的负面影响)”可知，从实验的结果我们可以看出，被承诺了奖励的孩子，画画时间明显缩短，兴趣减弱，即奖励政策会削弱人们对本身很愿意做的事情的内在动机。由此推知，C项“承诺对过去自愿为课堂活动做出贡献的学生给予经济奖励”很有可能对孩子的内部动机带来负面影响。故选C。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合倒数第二段的“Based n the research, cntingent (连带的) rewards-if yu d this, then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple.(根据这项研究，偶然的奖励——如果你做了这个，你就会得到那个——对人们有显著的负面影响)”以及最后一段的“Peple use rewards expecting t gain the benefit f increasing anther persn’s mtivatin and behavir, but in s ding, they ften bear the unintentinal and hidden cst f weakening that persn’s inner mtivatin tward the activity.(人们期望通过奖励来增加另一个人的动机和行为，但在这样做的过程中，他们往往承担了削弱那个人对活动的内在动机的无意和隐藏的成本)”可知，本文通过实验证明了奖励可能会给内部动机带来负面影响。D项“奖励：激励与否？”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者通过亲身经历和与农民交谈，逐渐理解了祖父母那一代人对食物的看法和价值观，以及可持续农业的重要性。同时，文章还介绍了再生农业的概念和实践。
【16题详解】
上文“My grandparents were always busy with fd. My grandmther culd pull ut the feathers f a chicken in less than half an hur. They picked vegetables frm their garden. Animal fat was saved. (我的祖父母总是忙着做吃的。我奶奶可以在不到半小时的时间里拔完鸡的羽毛。他们从菜园里采摘蔬菜。动物的脂肪被保存下来。)”例举了祖父母忙于食物的各种习惯，B项“And any leftver meat was cut up fr pies.(剩下的肉被切碎用来做馅饼。)”也是他们的一种习惯，与上文构成并列关系。特别与“Animal fat was saved.”一句联系紧密，表明了他们节约的生活态度。故选B项。
【17题详解】
上文“I finally began t understand my grandparents.(我终于开始理解我的祖父母了。)”讲我理解了祖父母，D项“I began t understand the wrk that we tk fr granted.(我开始理解我们认为理所当然的工作。)”承接上文，具体说明理解了什么。同时“I began t understand...”是句式的复现。故选D项。
【18题详解】
上文“My grandparents’ generatin spent a third f their incme n fd. (我祖父母那一代把收入的三分之一花在食物上。)”说明祖父母花在食物上的费用，A项“We spend less than a tenth.(我们只花了不到十分之一。)”说明我们自己在食物上的支出，形成对比关系，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【19题详解】
上文“But until I began talking t the farmers arund me, I had nt understd the human csts faced by thse asked t prduce milk sld fr less than bttled water.(但直到我开始与周围的农民交谈，我才明白那些被要求生产比瓶装水还便宜的牛奶的人所面临的人力成本。)”提出问题：农民面临的人力成本问题，下文“Called “regenerative farming”, it was being driven by a new generatin f farmers trying t find a new kind f pwer in the face f lss f climate change and rising fuel and transprt csts.(它被称为“再生农业”，是由新一代农民推动的，面对气候变化的损失和不断上涨的燃料和运输成本，他们试图找到一种新的能源。)”给出被称为“regenerative farming(再生农业)”的办法，G项“Then I came acrss a farming refrm that sught t change this traditinal system.(然后，我发现了一个试图改变这种传统制度的农业改革。)”承上启下，引出下文中的“regenerative farming(再生农业)”，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【20题详解】
下文“Thse plants and animals wrked tgether t help the sil becme rich again. They kept living rts in the grund all year rund, building up the sil’s bilgy and taking in carbn.(这些植物和动物共同帮助土壤再次变得肥沃。它们常年把活着的根埋在地下，增强土壤的生物功能，吸收碳。)”解释了新的植物和动物共同改善土壤的技术，是对F项“New technlgy helped these farmers raise a diversity f crps and farm animals.(新技术帮助这些农民种植了多种作物和饲养了多种家畜。)”的进一步说明，解释了“a diversity f crps and farm animals”的作用，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

【答案】36. a 37. exchanges
38. has been translated
39. making 40. t
41. lived 42. when
43. varius
44. enrich 45. launched
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了汉学家Giuffre将《论语》翻译为马耳他语，加强了中国和马耳他之间的文化交流。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：《论语》的马耳他汉学家、译者塞尔瓦托·朱弗雷表示，《论语》是世界文学的典范，《论语》的马耳他文版的出版将进一步促进中马两国的文化交流。可数名词example在句中表示“一个典型/范例”，泛指，fine发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：《论语》的马耳他汉学家、译者塞尔瓦托·朱弗雷表示，《论语》是世界文学的典范，《论语》的马耳他文版的出版将进一步促进中马两国的文化交流。提示词作宾语，用名词exchange，结合常识，文化交流是多元的，用复数名词。故填exchanges。
【38题详解】
考查固定句型和时态语态。句意：这是这本书第一次被翻译成马耳他语。It+is/was+the time+that+sb. has/had dne sth.为固定句型，表示“这是某人第几次做某事”，该句型主句中be动词是is时，从句中谓语动词用has/have dne，be动词是was时，从句中谓语动词用had dne，本句中是“It is the first time that...”，所以从句中应使用现在完成时has/have dne结构；又因动词translate与主语the bk之间是被动关系，所以应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是单数名词，助动词用has。故填has been translated。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Giuffre花了大约两年的时间让这本书与马耳他读者见面。spend sme time (in) ding...是固定搭配，意为“花……时间做……”，用动名词作介词宾语。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：Giuffre花了大约两年的时间让这本书与马耳他读者见面。(be) accessible t...是固定搭配，意为“对……易使用的/易得到的”。故填t。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：马耳他语版完整地介绍了孔子的生平、他生活的时代、他的教义以及书中提到的关键概念、术语、名字和人物。分析句子可知，live(生活)是定语从句中谓语动词，与主语he之间是主动关系，结合句意，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态。故填lived。
【42题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意：2017年，中国山东友谊出版社邀请马耳他SKS出版社参加在山东省举行的孔子研讨会，由此产生了翻译该书的想法。根据句意，“China’s Shandng Friendship Publishing Huse invited Malta’s SKS Publishers t attend a seminar (研讨会) n Cnfucius in 2017 in Shandng prvince.”是想法产生的时间，用从属连词when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：该活动以不同语言的各种出版物为特色，SKS出版社希望以马耳他语版本丰富该系列。提示词作定语修饰名词publicatins，用形容词varius作定语，意为“各种各样的”。故填varius。
【44题详解】
考查动词。句意：该活动以不同语言的各种出版物为特色，SKS出版社希望以马耳他语版本丰富该系列。want后跟动不定式作宾语，结合不定式符号t，空格处用动词原形enrich，意为“使丰富”。故填enrich。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这本书的出版得到了马耳他图书基金的部分资助，该基金是由马耳他国家图书委员会和马耳他中国文化中心发起的。分析句子可知，launch(发起)作后置定语修饰名词initiative，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语initiative之间是被动关系，且“initiative”这一动作已经完成，所以应用过去分词，表示被动和完成。故填launched。

The teacher replied, “When I swed its seed, I did everything right fr it. I watered it, fertilized it, sprayed it with pesticide (杀虫剂) . I tk great care f it but it still died.” He stpped fr a while and then said, “Ding wrk is the same... N matter hw hard yu try, yu cannt decide what happens in the end. Hwever, yu can cntrl thse things in yur hands. Just d yur best!”
Ramu asked, “But if there is n guarantee f success then what’s the use f ding anything?”
The teacher said, “Yu’d better nt think like that...”
“What’s wrng with that... I have given s much hard wrk, s much mney, s much time; if success is nly a matter f chance, then what is the use f ding s much?” said Ramu and he was abut t leave.

Ramu asked. “Why are yu shwing me this?” Just then the teacher said. “These tmates are the result f nt giving up n grwing plants.

At that very mment, Ramu read the lessn f success. He understd what he had t d nw and left with a different idea. He cnducted sme market research and started a new business.

【解析】

②由第二段首句内容“就在那一刻，拉穆懂得了成功的道理。”可知，第二段可描写拉穆重新振作，继续创业。
2.续写线索：展示西红柿——讲述成功的道理——重整旗鼓开始创业——哲理感悟

The pwer f “seeing”
A spn-billed sandpiper (勺嘴鹬) steps int the frame, heading straight fr a small bug placed there. It swallws its fd with its spn-shaped beak.
The perfrmance is fr Jel Sartre, funder f Pht Ark, a persnal effrt t dcument animals arund the wrld.
The critically endangered bird, f which there are fewer than 1,000 individuals in the wild, is the 13,000th species Sartre has phtgraphed in 16 years. His gal is 20,000.
Befre he started Pht Ark, Sartre spent mre than a decade wrking as a phtgrapher fr Natinal Gegraphic, mainly cvering cnservatin stries in the field. He had seen wildlife decreasing firsthand, but felt like the public wasn’t interested.
Sartre thught f a new way t inspire peple. He picked up his camera and set abut taking shts f wildlife-but rather than recrding animals in the wild, he wanted t phtgraph them utside their natural habitat. He visited zs, aquariums and rehabilitatin (康复) centers and phtgraphed prtraits f individual animals against a white r black backdrp (背景幕).
“This allws yu t lk them in the eye and see that there’s great beauty there and that they are wrth saving,” he said. “We are primates and we respnd t eye cntact abve all else.”
The respnse has indeed been huge. Sartre has mre than 1.6 millin fllwers n Instagram and a best-selling series f Pht Ark bks. Part f the prceeds (收益) frm his bks ges t fund n-the-grund cnservatin effrts.
Gary Ward wh wrks at Lndn Z where Sartre has sht befre, said, “Seeing is the first step t caring, and caring is the first step t cnservatin actin.”
By chsing animals utside their natural habitat, Sartre admits he will nly shw a small part f the wrld’s wildlife. Accrding t the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature, there are mre than 2 millin described species n the planet, and he plans t phtgraph just 1% f them. But ding s allws him t sptlight species that are already extinct in the wild, and thse that wuld be difficult t take prtraits f in their natural habitat. It als enables him t sht in a cntrlled envirnment, meaning the animal can be kept safe and cmfrtable, with zkeepers r carers n hand t advise n its behavir.
4. What is Sartre ding at the beginning f the text?
A. He is feeding a bird.B. He is training a bird.
C. He is phtgraphing a bird.D. He is studying a bird’s behavir.
5. What des Sartre aim t d with his Pht Ark?

C. Gather infrmatin n endangered species.
D. Raise peple’s awareness f prtecting wildlife.

It is a self-evident fact that music study bsts yur artistic ability, but have yu thught f that yur academic perfrmance is actually hugely benefited? Music study has been linked t academic achievements in many studies and serius music training is reprted t be assciated with success in many ther fields. I hpe yu wuld nt be t surprised t hear that many utstanding prfessinals in industries frm tech t finance t media are fund t be amateur musicians and playing music as their regular past-times.
The phenmenn extends beynd the widely-knwn math-music assciatin. Strikingly, many high achievers tld me music pened up the pathways t creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens ther qualities: Cllectin-the ability t listen, a way f thinking that jins tgether separate ideas, and the pwer t fcus n the present and the future at the same time.
It is in this cntext that the cnnectin between math and music grabs the mst attentin. Bth are at heart mdes f expressin. Bruce Kvner, the funder f the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxtn Assciates, says he sees similarities between his pian playing and investing strategy; as he says, bth “relate t pattern cgnitin, and sme peple extend these patterns acrss different senses”.
Fr Rger McNamee, whse Elevatin Partners is perhaps best knwn fr its early investment in Facebk, “music and technlgy have met and befriended,” he says. He became expert n Facebk by using it t prmte his band, Mnalice, and nw is fcusing n vide by live-streaming its cncerts. He says musicians and tp prfessinals share “the almst desperate need t dive deep”. This capacity f getting int smething in a real way seems t unite tp perfrmers in music and ther fields.
“I’ve always believed the reasn I’ve gtten ahead is by utwrking ther peple,” he says. It’s a skill learned by “playing that sl ne mre time, wrking n that ne little sectin ne mre time,” and it translates int “wrking n smething ver and ver again, r duble-checking r triple-checking.” He adds, “there is nthing like music t teach yu that eventually if yu wrk hard enugh, it des get better. Yu see the results.” That’s an bservatin wrth remembering at a time when music as a serius pursuit is in decline in this cuntry.

细节理解题。根据第二段中“And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens ther qualities: Cllectin-the ability t listen, a way f thinking that jins tgether separate ideas, and the pwer t fcus n the present and the future at the same time.(他们的经验表明，音乐训练还能提高其他素质：收集——倾听的能力，将不同想法结合在一起的思维方式，以及同时关注现在和未来的能力。)”可知，音乐训练可以提高：用长远的视野思考来处理现在的能力，耐心地听取不同意见的能力，找出不同想法之间联系的能力，B项“从别人的角度思考”没有提到，故选B。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It is in this cntext that the cnnectin between math and music grabs the mst attentin. Bruce Kvner, the funder f the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxtn Assciates, says he sees similarities between his pian playing and investing strategy; as he says, bth “relate t pattern cgnitin, and sme peple extend these patterns acrss different senses”.(正是在这种背景下，数学和音乐之间的联系最受关注。对冲基金Caxtn Assciates的创始人布鲁斯•科夫纳（Bruce Kvner）表示，他发现自己的钢琴演奏和投资策略之间存在相似之处；正如他所说，两者“都与模式认知有关，有些人将这些模式扩展到不同的感官”。)”可知，该段用布鲁斯•科夫纳（Bruce Kvner）的例子来表明音乐与数学之间的相似之处，钢琴演奏与投资策略相似，钢琴演奏涉及的是音乐，投资策略涉及数学方面的知识，且二者都与模式认识有关，由此可知，音乐与数学之间有相似之处，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He became expert n Facebk by using it t prmte his band, Mnalice, and nw is fcusing n vide by live-streaming its cncerts.

This capacity f getting int smething in a real way seems t unite tp perfrmers in music and ther fields.(他通过使用Facebk来宣传自己的乐队Mnalice，成为了Facebk方面的专家。现在，他通过直播其音乐会来关注视频。他表示，音乐家和顶级专业人士都有“几乎迫切需要深度挖掘”的共同点。这种真正进入某个领域的能力似乎将音乐和其他领域的顶级演奏者联合在了一起。)”可推知，技术和音乐相互作用，结合选项可推知，罗杰·麦克纳米所说的“音乐和科技相遇并成为朋友”指的是技术增加了音乐推广的渠道。故选D。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“He adds, “there is nthing like music t teach yu that eventually if yu wrk hard enugh, it des get better. Yu see the results.”(他补充道:“没有什么比音乐更能教会你，如果你足够努力，最终会变得更好。你看到了结果。”)”和划线单词所在句子“That’s an bservatin wrth remembering at a time when music as a serius pursuit is in decline in this cuntry.(在这个国家，当音乐作为一种严肃的追求正在衰落时，这是一个值得记住的bservatin 。)”可知，音乐能教会人们很多，没有什么比音乐更能教会你，所以应该认真追求音乐，但是音乐作为一个严肃的追求正在这个国家衰落，所以我们应该记住这样一个建议：一个人应该认真追求音乐，由此可知，划线单词“bservatin”指的是认真追求音乐的建议，故选D。

D rewards really bring desirable results? Three researchers, psychlgists Mark Lepper, David Greene, and Richard Nisbett, watched a classrm f preschlers fr several days and identified the children wh chse t spend their “free play” time drawing. Then they cnducted an experiment t test the effect f rewarding an activity these children clearly enjyed.
The researchers divided the children int three grups. The first was the “expected-award” grup. They shwed each f these children a “Gd Player” certificate decrated with a blue ribbn and featuring the child’s name and asked if the child wanted t draw in rder t receive the award. The secnd grup was the “unexpected-award” grup. Researchers asked these children simply if they wanted t draw. If they decided t, when the sessin ended, the researchers handed each child ne f the “Gd Player” certificates. The third grup was the “n-award” grup. Researchers asked these children if they wanted t draw, but neither prmised them a certificate at the beginning nr gave them ne at the end.
Tw weeks later, back in the classrm, teachers set ut paper and markers during the preschl’s free play perid while the researchers secretly bserved the students. Children previusly in the “unexpected-award” and “n-award” grups drew just as much, and with the same relish as they had befre the experiment. But children in the first grup-the nes wh’d expected and then received an award-shwed much less interest and spent much less time drawing. Even tw weeks later, thse appealing prizes-s cmmn in classrms-had turned play int wrk.
Based n the research, cntingent (连带的) rewards-if yu d this, then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple. “If-then” rewards require peple t sacrifice sme f their autnmy. They’re n lnger fully cntrlling their lives. And that can spring a hle in the bttm f their mtivatinal bucket, draining an activity f its enjyment.
Other researchers fund similar results with adults. These insights prved s surprising, which called int questin a standard practice f mst cmpanies and schls: prmising and giving rewards, especially material nes, t desirable behavirs and results. As ne leading behaviral science textbk puts it, “Peple use rewards expecting t gain the benefit f increasing anther persn’s mtivatin and behavir, but in s ding, they ften bear the unintentinal and hidden cst f weakening that persn’s inner mtivatin tward the activity.”
12. It can be inferred frm the passage that Lepper, Greene, and Nisbett’s experiment was designed t ensure that ________.
A. all children wh were part f the expected-award grup were nt distracted by the prmise f an award while drawing
B. all children wh participated in the experiment were knwn t enjy drawing
C. all children wh displayed equal levels f enthusiasm fr drawing wuld be gruped tgether
D. all children wh did nt receive an award wuld maintain their mtivatin t draw
13. The underlined wrd “relish” mst nearly means ________.
A. diversityB. flavrC. pleasureD. style
14. Based n the passage, which f the fllwing activities wuld mst likely affect peple’s inner mtivatin in a negative way?
A. Orally encurage students wh have helped in grup prjects.
B. Offer sheets f paper academic reprts t students abut their perfrmance f the semester.
C. Prmise t award students financially wh used t cntribute t the class activities vluntarily.
D. Shw gratitude t yur family members fr their uncnditinal lve.
15. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Enjy painting, enjy lifeB. D the best, expect the least
C. Practice self-cntrl t achieve mreD. Award: mtivatinal r nt?

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过实验证明了奖励可能会给内部动机带来负面影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“D rewards really bring desirable results? Three researchers, psychlgists Mark Lepper, David Greene, and Richard Nisbett, watched a classrm f preschlers fr several days and identified the children wh chse t spend their “free play” time drawing. (奖励真的能带来理想的结果吗?心理学家马克·莱珀、大卫·格林和理查德·尼斯贝特这三位研究人员对一间教室的学龄前儿童进行了几天的观察，并找出了那些选择在“自由玩耍”时间画画的孩子)”可知，三个心理学家的实验对象是闲暇时间会选择画画的小孩。由此推知，他们的实验要确保参与的所有孩子都喜欢画画。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Children previusly in the “unexpected-award” and “n-award” grups drew just as much, and with the same relish as they had befre the experiment. (之前在“意外奖励”组和“没有奖励”组的孩子画的画和实验前一样多，也一样有relish)”中的“as they had befre the experiment”并结合第一段提到实验对象都是喜欢画画的孩子可知，“意外奖励”组和“没有奖励”组的孩子画的画且与实验前一样对画画感兴趣。因此猜测，relish意为“兴趣，乐趣”，与pleasure同义。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“But children in the first grup-the nes wh’d expected and then received an award-shwed much less interest and spent much less time drawing.(但是第一组的孩子——那些期待并得到奖励的孩子——表现出更少的兴趣，花更少的时间画画)”和第四段的“Based n the research, cntingent (连带的) rewards-if yu d this, then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple.(根据这项研究，偶然的奖励——如果你做了这个，你就会得到那个——对人们有显著的负面影响)”可知，从实验的结果我们可以看出，被承诺了奖励的孩子，画画时间明显缩短，兴趣减弱，即奖励政策会削弱人们对本身很愿意做的事情的内在动机。由此推知，C项“承诺对过去自愿为课堂活动做出贡献的学生给予经济奖励”很有可能对孩子的内部动机带来负面影响。故选C。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合倒数第二段的“Based n the research, cntingent (连带的) rewards-if yu d this, then yu’ll get that-had significant negative effect n peple.(根据这项研究，偶然的奖励——如果你做了这个，你就会得到那个——对人们有显著的负面影响)”以及最后一段的“Peple use rewards expecting t gain the benefit f increasing anther persn’s mtivatin and behavir, but in s ding, they ften bear the unintentinal and hidden cst f weakening that persn’s inner mtivatin tward the activity.(人们期望通过奖励来增加另一个人的动机和行为，但在这样做的过程中，他们往往承担了削弱那个人对活动的内在动机的无意和隐藏的成本)”可知，本文通过实验证明了奖励可能会给内部动机带来负面影响。D项“奖励：激励与否？”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。

38. has been translated
39. making 40. t
41. lived 42. when
43. varius
44. enrich 45. launched
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了汉学家Giuffre将《论语》翻译为马耳他语，加强了中国和马耳他之间的文化交流。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：《论语》的马耳他汉学家、译者塞尔瓦托·朱弗雷表示，《论语》是世界文学的典范，《论语》的马耳他文版的出版将进一步促进中马两国的文化交流。可数名词example在句中表示“一个典型/范例”，泛指，fine发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：《论语》的马耳他汉学家、译者塞尔瓦托·朱弗雷表示，《论语》是世界文学的典范，《论语》的马耳他文版的出版将进一步促进中马两国的文化交流。提示词作宾语，用名词exchange，结合常识，文化交流是多元的，用复数名词。故填exchanges。
【38题详解】
考查固定句型和时态语态。句意：这是这本书第一次被翻译成马耳他语。It+is/was+the time+that+sb. has/had dne sth.为固定句型，表示“这是某人第几次做某事”，该句型主句中be动词是is时，从句中谓语动词用has/have dne，be动词是was时，从句中谓语动词用had dne，本句中是“It is the first time that...”，所以从句中应使用现在完成时has/have dne结构；又因动词translate与主语the bk之间是被动关系，所以应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是单数名词，助动词用has。故填has been translated。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Giuffre花了大约两年的时间让这本书与马耳他读者见面。spend sme time (in) ding...是固定搭配，意为“花……时间做……”，用动名词作介词宾语。故填making。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：Giuffre花了大约两年的时间让这本书与马耳他读者见面。(be) accessible t...是固定搭配，意为“对……易使用的/易得到的”。故填t。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：马耳他语版完整地介绍了孔子的生平、他生活的时代、他的教义以及书中提到的关键概念、术语、名字和人物。分析句子可知，live(生活)是定语从句中谓语动词，与主语he之间是主动关系，结合句意，讲述过去的事情用一般过去时态。故填lived。
【42题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意：2017年，中国山东友谊出版社邀请马耳他SKS出版社参加在山东省举行的孔子研讨会，由此产生了翻译该书的想法。根据句意，“China’s Shandng Friendship Publishing Huse invited Malta’s SKS Publishers t attend a seminar (研讨会) n Cnfucius in 2017 in Shandng prvince.”是想法产生的时间，用从属连词when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：该活动以不同语言的各种出版物为特色，SKS出版社希望以马耳他语版本丰富该系列。提示词作定语修饰名词publicatins，用形容词varius作定语，意为“各种各样的”。故填varius。
【44题详解】
考查动词。句意：该活动以不同语言的各种出版物为特色，SKS出版社希望以马耳他语版本丰富该系列。want后跟动不定式作宾语，结合不定式符号t，空格处用动词原形enrich，意为“使丰富”。故填enrich。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这本书的出版得到了马耳他图书基金的部分资助，该基金是由马耳他国家图书委员会和马耳他中国文化中心发起的。分析句子可知，launch(发起)作后置定语修饰名词initiative，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语initiative之间是被动关系，且“initiative”这一动作已经完成，所以应用过去分词，表示被动和完成。故填launched。

Ramu started a business with great enthusiasm but just after a few mnths his business went under. Time passed but Ramu didn’t start any new wrk. His teacher gt t knw abut his situatin and called him t his hme.
The teacher asked, “Why dn’t yu start sme ther wrk?”

“What’s the pint f ding wrk, when I can’t be sure f success?” Ramu replied with a bit f annyance.
The teacher tk Ramu t a rm and shwed him a dead tmat plant. Ramu was cnfused and said, “It’s dead. Why are yu shwing it t me?”
The teacher replied, “When I swed its seed, I did everything right fr it. I watered it, fertilized it, sprayed it with pesticide (杀虫剂) . I tk great care f it but it still died.” He stpped fr a while and then said, “Ding wrk is the same... N matter hw hard yu try, yu cannt decide what happens in the end. Hwever, yu can cntrl thse things in yur hands. Just d yur best!”
Ramu asked, “But if there is n guarantee f success then what’s the use f ding anything?”
The teacher said, “Yu’d better nt think like that...”
“What’s wrng with that... I have given s much hard wrk, s much mney, s much time; if success is nly a matter f chance, then what is the use f ding s much?” said Ramu and he was abut t leave.

At that very mment, Ramu read the lessn f success.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He tk Ramu t anther rm and pened the dr. There was a pile f big red tmates lying there. Ramu asked. “Why are yu shwing me this?” Just then the teacher said. “These tmates are the result f nt giving up n grwing plants. Similarly, if yu keep ding the right things, yur chances f getting success are greatly increased. But if yu give up because f ne r tw failures, life will reward yu with nthing.”
At that very mment, Ramu read the lessn f success. He understd what he had t d nw and left with a different idea. He cnducted sme market research and started a new business. N ne culd guarantee he wuld succeed this time but there was a chance. Like Ramu, many peple make their failure as a reasn fr nt trying further. It is true that n matter hw hard we try, we cannt cntrl the result. But it is als true that thse wh keep trying t get success will get it tmrrw if nt tday. Every failure is a step tward success.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ramu以满腔热情去创业，结果却失败了。自此之后他无所事事，觉得从事不能保证成功的事情毫无意义。老师得知他的情况后，用自己种西红柿的经历告诉他人生的道理……。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他把拉穆带到另一个房间，打开门。”可知，第一段可描写老师给拉穆看种活了的西红柿，并给他讲述了道理。
②由第二段首句内容“就在那一刻，拉穆懂得了成功的道理。”可知，第二段可描写拉穆重新振作，继续创业。
2.续写线索：展示西红柿——讲述成功的道理——重整旗鼓开始创业——哲理感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①展示：shw/display
②放弃：give up/quit
③理解：understand/cmprehend
情绪类

[高分句型2] He understd what he had t d nw and left with a different idea.(运用了连词what引导宾语从句 )
