第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第—节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每題所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The scars that Pat Pribble carried through life were formed nearly 50 years ago, caused by fellow students in Woodland, who picked on him because he was different.
Pat's parents had held him back in the seventh grade in secondary school, so he ended up in the same class as his younger brother, Leo. Forever the oldest kid in the class, Pat tried to fit in. He played sports. He went on dates. But he was always just not good enough for this; just not smart enough for that. Pat Pribble was a target.
After graduating, Pat drifted and lost his way. He was homeless, and he never married or had children. From a distance, with his long gray hair and beard, Pat appears tough, the kind of man you might cross the street to avoid. When talking with others, he shows a gentle side. He speaks quietly, measuring his words, careful to hide what he is thinking and feeling, as those were the very things others once seized upon to laugh at him.
Last November, as Carey planned for the 45th reunion in 2021, he decided to personally invite Leo. As the two men caught up on each other’s lives, Carey learned that Leo had terminal (晚期的) brain cancer and had only months to live. Leo then made one more request — everyone should also call Pat. And so they did. “Never underestimate (低估) people,” said Leo. “We’re all different now than when we were kids.” Leo passed away this past January. His former classmates had promised him that after he was gone they wouldn't lose track of Pat, and they have kept that promise. Healing wounds from the past has allowed Pat to look to the future. “I’ll be at the next reunion,” he says.
1. What does the underlined words “picked on him” mean in paragraph 1
A. treated him unkindly B. encouraged him enthusiastically
C. avoided him deliberately D. trusted him entirely
2. Pat Pribble was a target during his school time because of ________.
A. his family background B. his limited ability
C. his way of speaking D. his economic condition
3. What can we imply from Leo's words in the last paragraph
A. People have the potential for change.
B. People’s ability should be overestimated.
C. Kids tend to behave more badly than adults.
D. What his classmates had done was never forgiven.
B
War has long been understood as men’s business. The memoirs of generals and front-line soldiers compete for shelf space with edited collections of letters from soldiers and military histories largely written by men. This book is a good reminder that it is not only men who experience wars, and it is not only men who report on them. War reporters such as the Sunday Times’ Marie Colvin, killed in Syria covering the siege of Homs in 2012, have brought the realities of war into our homes.
Mackrell’s lively book tells the stories of six of the female reporters who reported on the Second World War. Some, such as Martha Gellhom and Lee Miller, are well known, others, like Virginia Cowles and Helen Kirkpatrick, now less so. Clare Hollingworth, the only British war reporter included here, filed the first eyewitness account of the German invasion of Poland in 1939.
Mackrell also tells the story of the war through their writing. As France fell in the early summer of 1940, Cowles travelled to Paris. Her description of the mass escape from that city as Nazi troops approached—think of noise and confusion, of the thick smell of petrol, of shouts, curses and tears—is still a vivid reminder of the impact of war today.
The women whose lives and work are recorded here regularly put their lives in danger—perhaps none more so than Sigrid Schultz, whose reports from Berlin conveyed the horror of Hitler's rule to an American audience. In 1945 she returned, with fellow reporters Kirkpatrick and Ed Murrow, to report on the liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp. Mackrell reveals the full extent of the danger faced by Schultz only at the end of this book. Like the copy by her subject, it is an essential read.
4. What makes it special about the book
A. It is a report of wars and their impacts.
B. It is a memoir of generals and front-line soldiers.
C. It is an edited collection of letters from soldiers.
D. It is a collection of stories about women war reporters.
5 What do we know about the female reporters
A. Marie Colvin worked and died in the World War II.
B. Clare Hollingworth was the first to report the German invasion of Poland.
C. Cowles' detailed description of her travel reminded readers of the war.
D. Sigrid Schultz may often risk her life while doing her job in Berlin.
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A. To advertise for a book about World War II.
B. To introduce a book about women reporters.
C. To provide guidance on becoming a good reporter.
D. To stress the importance of female reporter in history.
C
Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.
The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.
Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.
A cognitive (认知)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”
For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. People's memory gradually fails as they age.
B. People of different ages should play VR games.
C. Virtual reality changes people's memory.
D. Virtual reality improves older adults' memory.
8. What is Meredith Thompson's attitude toward the research
A. satisfied. B. enthusiastic.
C. cautious. D. concerned.
9. According to the scientists, the research needs to be improved due to ________.
A. the lack of financial support. B. the limited pool of participants.
C. the unsatisfying test performance. D. the impractical application in real world.
10. Where may the passage come from
A. A novel. B. A review.
C. A magazine. D. A guidebook.
第二节（共5个小题：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。
Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day littering (乱丢废物）is often taken lightly. But it’s more severe than we may think.
___11___This seems to be a completely harmless action due to the fact that if s part of a fruit—right Actually, no. A banana peel (皮）can take up to two years to decompose (分解)，and with a third of drivers admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel or a cigarette butt has a similar decomposing term to that of a banana. But tin and aluminium (铝）cans last up to 100 years. ____12____
It’s true that longer-lasting materials will damage the environment and its animals for longer. ____13____ For example, despite its fairly short decomposing term, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded (丢弃）in the UK every day. Besides，our annual littering, which has increased by 500 percent since the 1960s, has caused the UK*s rat population to increase by 60 million.
It’s not a cheap habit either: ____14____ So, ifs not surprising that if caught littering you could face a 20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you throw away something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. The punishments might seem severe. ____15____ So we still have some way to go in making sure people follow the rules.
To take back our beautiful countryside and cities we need to do more than simply not littering. We need to truly care more about the world around us.
A. Banana peels are among the most frequent littered stuff.
B. But fear of the environmental impact of litter is on the rise.
C. Imagine throwing a banana peel out of your car while driving.
D. UK taxpayers pay 500 million in order to keep our streets clean.
E. And plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles and plastic bags.
F. However, among the reported cases only 2,000 out of 825,000 were punished.
G. But we can't simply measure the seriousness of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Old Jim was without doubt the best hair stylist I’d ever known. He designed every haircut so artistically that it would be an understatement to say the magics created by him were “beautiful”. But there was one strange thing about his shop: there was no mirror in it, so customers were kept in suspense until they reached home.
I entered Old Jim’s hairdresser’s, sad and disappointed, having just been rejected a role in the school play. I was ordinary-looking and boring, and that’s why they didn’t want me — I was convinced. “I want to be beautiful,” I said to Old Jim, tears almost dropping. After having a haircut, I thanked him again and walked out through the door, his words remaining in my head: “There’s magic in your new hair. Now start your journey to beauty.”
Sunlight dropped down through the overlapping leaves above my head as I walked on the street. I shook my head but didn’t feel a difference. I could only slightly feel that something was different, like a little voice that had long been suppressed that desired to be heard.
Suddenly, I heard someone calling out to me. “Susan! Susan” I turned around. It was Jennifer, the most popular girl in the whole school. “It really is you, Susan. You look great today!” ‘Thanks.” Jennifer was everything I wanted to be. What a sweet victory to get such admiration from a girl like her! We had a conversation on school and parted at a crossing, where she turned left and I right.
As I walked, I could see a boy walking toward me. We went to the same school but hadn't talked to each other much. If it weren't for the new hair, I would have looked down and pretended not to see him. I had always been shy.
Paragraph 1:
But at that point, I intended to test out Old Jim’s magic.

The scars that Pat Pribble carried through life were formed nearly 50 years ago, caused by fellow students in Woodland, who picked on him because he was different.
Pat's parents had held him back in the seventh grade in secondary school, so he ended up in the same class as his younger brother, Leo. Forever the oldest kid in the class, Pat tried to fit in. He played sports. He went on dates. But he was always just not good enough for this; just not smart enough for that. Pat Pribble was a target.
After graduating, Pat drifted and lost his way. He was homeless, and he never married or had children. From a distance, with his long gray hair and beard, Pat appears tough, the kind of man you might cross the street to avoid. When talking with others, he shows a gentle side. He speaks quietly, measuring his words, careful to hide what he is thinking and feeling, as those were the very things others once seized upon to laugh at him.
Last November, as Carey planned for the 45th reunion in 2021, he decided to personally invite Leo. As the two men caught up on each other’s lives, Carey learned that Leo had terminal (晚期的) brain cancer and had only months to live. Leo then made one more request — everyone should also call Pat. And so they did. “Never underestimate (低估) people,” said Leo. “We’re all different now than when we were kids.” Leo passed away this past January. His former classmates had promised him that after he was gone they wouldn't lose track of Pat, and they have kept that promise. Healing wounds from the past has allowed Pat to look to the future. “I’ll be at the next reunion,” he says.
1. What does the underlined words “picked on him” mean in paragraph 1
A. treated him unkindly B. encouraged him enthusiastically
C. avoided him deliberately D. trusted him entirely
2. Pat Pribble was a target during his school time because of ________.
A. his family background B. his limited ability
C. his way of speaking D. his economic condition
3. What can we imply from Leo's words in the last paragraph
A. People have the potential for change.
B. People’s ability should be overestimated.
C. Kids tend to behave more badly than adults.
D. What his classmates had done was never forgiven.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了有能力的缺陷哥哥Pat Pribble与弟弟Leo与在同一班级读书，Pat很难融入群体并遭到同学们的攻击，心灵受到很大的伤害，多年后弟弟Leo得了癌症 ，他在去世前请求全班同学都给哥哥Pat打一个电话，邀请他参加同学会，并希望能借这次机会让Pat融入集体的感人故事。
【1题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The scars that Pat Pribble carried through life were formed nearly 50 years ago, caused by fellow students in Woodland, who picked on him because he was different.(Pat Pribble一生的创伤形成于近50年前，是由Woodland的同学造成的，因为他与众不同，他们常常picked on他) ”可知，50年前Pat Pribble还在Woodland读书时，他的同学给他造成了伤害，仅仅因为他与别人不一样，由此推知句中“picked on him”是指对他不友善，才最终给他造成伤害。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Forever the oldest kid in the class, Pat tried to fit in. He played sports. He went on dates. But he was always just not good enough for this; just not smart enough for that. Pat Pribble was a target.(Pat永远是班上最大的孩子，他努力去融入其它同学。他参加运动，去约会。但他总是这样不够好；那样不够聪明。帕特·普利布成为了同学们攻击的目标) ”可知，仅管Pat尽量想融入班级，但由于自身能力的缺陷，不但不能如愿，还成为了同学们攻击的目标。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Leo的话“‘Never underestimate (低估) people, ’ said Leo. ‘We’re all different now than when we were kids. ’(‘永远不要低估人,’Leo说。‘我们现在和小时候都不一样了。’)”可推知，Leo认为，因为与小时候相比，我们自己也发生了变化，所以人是会变化的，都有改变的潜质。故选A项。
B

In 1945 she returned, with fellow reporters Kirkpatrick and Ed Murrow, to report on the liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp. Mackrell reveals the full extent of the danger faced by Schultz only at the end of this book. Like the copy by her subject, it is an essential read.

A. It is a report of wars and their impacts.
B. It is a memoir of generals and front-line soldiers.
C. It is an edited collection of letters from soldiers.
D. It is a collection of stories about women war reporters.
5. What do we know about the female reporters
A. Marie Colvin worked and died in the World War II.
B. Clare Hollingworth was the first to report the German invasion of Poland.
C. Cowles' detailed description of her travel reminded readers of the war.
D. Sigrid Schultz may often risk her life while doing her job in Berlin.
6. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A. To advertise for a book about World War II.
B. To introduce a book about women reporters.
C. To provide guidance on becoming a good reporter.
D. To stress the importance of female reporter in history.

C
Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.
The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.
Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.
A cognitive (认知)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”
For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.
7. What is the passage mainly about
A. People's memory gradually fails as they age.
B. People of different ages should play VR games.
C. Virtual reality changes people's memory.
D. Virtual reality improves older adults' memory.
8. What is Meredith Thompson's attitude toward the research
A. satisfied. B. enthusiastic.
C cautious. D. concerned.
9. According to the scientists, the research needs to be improved due to ________.
A. the lack of financial support. B. the limited pool of participants.
C. the unsatisfying test performance. D. the impractical application in real world.
10. Where may the passage come from
A. A novel. B. A review.
C. A magazine. D. A guidebook.
【答案】7. D 8. C 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述是虚拟现实可以改善老年人的记忆。并介绍了研究的开展过程以及相关专家对此的看法。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(但是目前在科学报告上出版的研究报告表明虚拟现实可能帮助老年人根据具体细节回忆事实和事件)”以及接下来的描述可知，文章主要讲述的是虚拟现实可以改善老年人的记忆。故选D。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games.(Meredith Thompson，一位教育研究者，主要研究通过虚拟现实游戏学习，但没有参与新的研究。她说，长时间跟踪并看看这种游戏对长期记忆有什么作用是很棒的，并补充说，虚拟现实可以比其他游戏提供更多的参与)”可知，Meredith Thompson需要长时间跟踪观察。由此推知，她对这项研究的态度是谨慎的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”(Simons说，“这个结果在它被视为重大发现之前需要被重复测验，最好是在一个更大的群体中。”)”以及最后一段“For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.(Wais说，现在这个团队希望与类似规模的团队进行的研究将有助于筹集资金来在更多的参与者中测试游戏)”可知，科学家认为这个研究需要进一步改善是因为参与者的数量有限。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(但是目前在科学报告上出版的研究报告表明虚拟现实可能帮助老年人根据具体细节回忆事实和事件)”以及接下来的描述可知，这属于科学研究，所以我们可以推测本文是发表在某杂志上。故选C。

Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day, littering (乱丢废物）is often taken lightly. But it’s more severe than we may think.
___11___This seems to be a completely harmless action due to the fact that if s part of a fruit—right Actually, no. A banana peel (皮）can take up to two years to decompose (分解)，and with a third of drivers admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel or a cigarette butt has a similar decomposing term to that of a banana. But tin and aluminium (铝）cans last up to 100 years. ____12____
It’s true that longer-lasting materials will damage the environment and its animals for longer. ____13____ For example, despite its fairly short decomposing term, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded (丢弃）in the UK every day. Besides，our annual littering, which has increased by 500 percent since the 1960s, has caused the UK*s rat population to increase by 60 million.
It’s not a cheap habit either: ____14____ So, ifs not surprising that if caught littering you could face a 20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you throw away something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve. The punishments might seem severe. ____15____ So we still have some way to go in making sure people follow the rules.
To take back our beautiful countryside and cities we need to do more than simply not littering. We need to truly care more about the world around us.
A. Banana peels are among the most frequent littered stuff.
B. But fear of the environmental impact of litter is on the rise.
C. Imagine throwing a banana peel out of your car while driving.
D. UK taxpayers pay 500 million in order to keep our streets clean.
E. And plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles and plastic bags.
F. However, among the reported cases only 2,000 out of 825,000 were punished.
G. But we can't simply measure the seriousness of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime.
【答案】11. C 12. E 13. G 14. D 15. F

【44题详解】
考查强调句。句意：正是这种努力表达意思的过程，帮助学习者进行语言实验，并尝试在日常互动中学习的结构和词汇，看看是否有助于他们理解自己的信息。“It is+被强调部分+that（强调人是可用who）+句子其他成分”为强调句的基本句型，此处强调的是主语“this process of struggling to make meaning clear”，故填that。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处修饰structures and vocabulary，需用非谓语动词作定语，structures and vocabulary和learn逻辑动宾关系，需用过去分词形式。故填learnt/learned。

Old Jim was without doubt the best hair stylist I’d ever known. He designed every haircut so artistically that it would be an understatement to say the magics created by him were “beautiful”. But there was one strange thing about his shop: there was no mirror in it, so customers were kept in suspense until they reached home.
I entered Old Jim’s hairdresser’s, sad and disappointed, having just been rejected a role in the school play. I was ordinary-looking and boring, and that’s why they didn’t want me — I was convinced. “I want to be beautiful,” I said to Old Jim, tears almost dropping. After having a haircut, I thanked him again and walked out through the door, his words remaining in my head: “There’s magic in your new hair. Now start your journey to beauty.”
Sunlight dropped down through the overlapping leaves above my head as I walked on the street. I shook my head but didn’t feel a difference. I could only slightly feel that something was different, like a little voice that had long been suppressed that desired to be heard.
Suddenly, I heard someone calling out to me. “Susan! Susan” I turned around. It was Jennifer, the most popular girl in the whole school. “It really is you, Susan. You look great today!” ‘Thanks.” Jennifer was everything I wanted to be. What a sweet victory to get such admiration from a girl like her! We had a conversation on school and parted at a crossing, where she turned left and I right.
As I walked, I could see a boy walking toward me. We went to the same school but hadn't talked to each other much. If it weren't for the new hair, I would have looked down and pretended not to see him. I had always been shy.
Paragraph 1:
But at that point, I intended to test out Old Jim’s magic.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
But at that point, I intended to test out Old Jim’s magic. I waved at the boy with butterflies in my stomach. Hearing my greeting, he waved back, a slightly surprised smile crossing his lips. We continued our conversation on our separate ways. It all happened so naturally, without any of the awkwardness that usually accompanies meeting new people. I had never expected it to be so easy to surmount my shyness. I do look better with this new hair. I thought, a smile growing on my face. As I walked on briskly, my ears were filled with mellifluous songs from birds and rhythmic sounds of leaves dancing in the summer breeze.
Paragraph 2:
At the sight of home. I started to go faster, desperate to see my new hair in the mirror in my room. Now see what Old Jim’s magic had done! After a twenty-minute walk home, I was fresh, alive, and radiant with joy. I rushed upstairs, my heart pumping furiously. I couldn't wait to see my beautiful new hair. And here I stood in front of the mirror taken by surprise. My hair was bobbed, the bangs disheveled from running. In short, not much had been done, except for a tiny velvet bow over my left ear.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被学校的戏剧拒绝了一个角色，又伤心又失望，于是在发型师吉姆那里理了发，但是发型师的店里没有镜子。作者走出理发店后，感到自信并且勇敢地和自己喜欢的男孩打了招呼。作者最后回到家发现头上除了多了一个蝴蝶结，并没有什么不同。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“但那时，我想试试老吉姆的魔法。”可知，第一段可描写作者因为新发型的关系勇敢和男孩打了招呼，他们进行了交谈。
②由第二段首句内容“一看到家。 我开始加快速度，急切地想在房间镜子里看到我的新头发。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到自己新发型后的反应。
2.续写线索：作者尝试和男孩打招呼——两人进行了交谈——作者克服羞怯——作者回家看新发型——发现发型没有什么不同
