The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters.
Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled—to sell his entire collection at an auction.
Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
The poor-quality painting didn’t receive any bidders... except one — the old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer read from the will, “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over.

“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices(设备)in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn't show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction.” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet(平板电脑)(59%)and work a mobile phone(57%)more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces(鞋带)(53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
8. According to Professor Greenfield,using digital media in education leads to ______.
A. being in bad terms with family members
B. making more mistakes when taking exams
C. falling far behind others in all schoolwork
D. failing to relate to other people's emotions
9. Scientists think the results of Greenfield's experiment ______.
A. are alarming for people B. are far from perfect
C. are quite surprising D. need to be improved
10 What can we know from the text?
A. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
B. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
C. Students living without screens did much better in studies.
D. Most of the UK children couldn't tie their shoe laces.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Stay away from the Internet B. Here comes a digital world!
C. Screens do harm to emotions D. How people become addicted?
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了科学家对于人们长期接触电子产品造成的影响的测试。通过对不同组学生不同的活动以后的情感测试,得出结果:长期接触电子产品会让人缺失一些情感因素以及降低对他人的理解能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices(设备)in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California,"losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.”(加州大学的Patricia Greenfield说:“许多人只关注数字设备在教育中的好处,却忽视了其代价。失去理解他人情绪的能力是代价之一。”可知,根据Greenfield教授的说法,在教育中使用数字设备会导致无法理解他人的情感。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中 “The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us “(研究人员说,从某种意义上说,这项研究并不完美。但是科学家说,这项研究仍然是对我们的一个警告)可知,科学家们认为Greenfield教授的实验结果给人警告。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.”“只工作不玩耍,聪明孩子也变傻。”但现在科学家们还提醒我们另一个警告:过度玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变傻。以及最后一段“The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet(平板电脑)(59%)and work a mobile phone(57%)more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces(鞋带)(53%)!”结果令人惊讶:他们的孩子在使用平板电脑(59%)和使用手机(57%)时比系鞋带(53%)更自信!可推知,过多地使用数字设备引发了一些担忧。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中 “But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. “(但是现在科学家们又给了我们另一个警告:玩太多的智能手机和电脑也会让你变得迟钝。)结合文章主要讲述了科学家对于人们长期接触电子产品造成的影响的测试。通过对不同组学生不同的活动以后的情感测试,结果显示:长期接触电子产品会让人缺失一些情感因素以及降低对他人的理解能力。故A选项“电子设备屏幕影响孩子的情感”最符合文章标题。故选C。
D
The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at-Hebron High School in Texas. However, when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.
While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by more than a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott estimates that as many as 100000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools. She said the US government has designated(指定) Mandarin as a “critical need” language and provided professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security(安全) and economic competitiveness,” Abbott said.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors(赞助) Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
12. Thomas Cheatham decided to study Mandarin instead of Latin because the thought______.
A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin
B. Mandarin might help him learn more about Chinese food.
C. Mandarin could enable him to make more friends online
D. Mandarin could have more advantages in his future career
13. The underlined word “proficiency” in Paragraph 4 probably. means“________”.
A. strong interest B. great skill C. lack of practice D. a level of difficulty
14. Which of the statements below is TRUE according to the passage
A. Americans are considering China as a great economic competitor.
B. Chinese is the most popular second language in the US.
C. American students are only studying Chinese in public schools.
D. The Confucius Institute at the University of Texas is the first one in the US.
15. What is the main idea of the article
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The influence of China’s growing power on Americans.
C. The benefits of learning Mandarin for Americans.
D. How Confucius Institutes in the US help promote Mandarin.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Thomas Cheatham学习汉语的例子说明了汉语在美国学生中越来越受欢迎的现象,许多专家认为,精通一门全世界10亿人使用的语言将使美国学生在全球经济中占据优势。美国各地有多达10万名学生在公立和私立学校学习普通话。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.(虽然这是一门很难掌握的语言,但这位计划学习计算机工程的初中生认为,这对他的职业生涯很重要)”可知,Thomas Cheatham学习普通话的原因是普通话可以帮助他未来的职业发展。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students the edge in the global economy(一门全世界超过10亿人使用的语言将使美国学生在全球经济中占据优势)”可知,许多专家认为,只有精通对一门全世界10亿人使用的语言才会美国学生在全球经济中占据优势。即所猜词的意思为“精通”,所以B项great skill(高超的技巧)满足题意。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast(人们正把中国视为我们的下一个经济竞争对手,对汉语的兴趣也在迅速增长)”可知,美国正在把中国视为下一个经济竞争对手。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin. (与此同时,中国政府在美国多个州设立孔子学院,传播中国语言和文化。例如,德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校孔子学院设立孔子学院已有10年。它资助了当地21所公立和私立学校的孔子课堂,成千上万的学生在那里学习普通话)”结合文章主要通过Thomas Cheatham学习汉语的例子说明了汉语在美国学生中越来越受欢迎的现象,许多专家认为,精通一门全世界10亿人使用的语言将使美国学生在全球经济中占据优势。美国各地有多达10万名学生在公立和私立学校学习普通话。即本文想要表达汉语在美国学生中越来越受欢迎。故选A。

But sometimes just acting bravely is enough to stop a bully.(尽你所能,避免霸凌者。当然,你不能躲起来或逃课。但如果你能选择不同的路线,避开坏孩子,那就去做吧。抬头挺胸,要勇敢。当你害怕另一个人时,你可能并不觉得自己勇敢。但有时只要勇敢地行动,就足以阻止一个恶霸)”可知,后文主要说明要勇敢地行动,不要给霸凌者欺负你的机会,故G选项“不要给霸凌者机会”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Talk to someone you trust if you are bothered by a bully.(如果你被欺负了,和你信任的人谈谈)”以及后文“Make a plan to walk with a friend or two on the way to school, recess, lunch, or wherever you think you might meet the bully.(制定一个计划,和一两个朋友一起在上学、课间休息、午餐或任何你认为可能会遇到霸凌者的地方散步)”可知,上文假定了情境是你遭受了霸凌,后文提到建议做好计划以和朋友同行去任何可能遭受霸凌的地方,即借助朋友的力量来避免被霸凌。故F选项“如果你想避免被霸凌,两个人比一个人更好”符合语境,故选F。

【答案】curiosity
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:这封信不是写给他的,但他出于好奇把它拆开了。根据空格前的名词out of可知,此处填入名词curiosity构成固定短语out of curiosity(出于好奇)。故填curiosity。

【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意:当我进入实验室时,他们正在辩论是否要继续这个实验。固定句型“sb. was/were doing when……”译为“某人正在做某事这时……”,即要用过去进行时。主语they是复数,且与谓语动词debate是主动关系。故填were debating。
57. The new museum ________(schedule)to be completed at the end of this year is under construction. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】scheduled
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:预计今年年底完工的新博物馆正在建设中。句子谓语动词为is,所以动词schedule要以非谓语动词形式出现。非谓语动词schedule与其逻辑主语the new museum之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填scheduled。
58. When the cherry blossoms bloom (v.开花,绽放) in spring, the campus of Wuhan University will become one of the most crowded tourist ________(attract) in China. (所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】 preference
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查名词和固定短语。句意:她从来不知道我偏爱乡村生活。不定冠词a后需接可数名词单数,所以此处需用prefer的名词preference“偏爱”,have a preference for…偏爱……,固定短语。故填preference。

【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m very glad to have received your letter. Now I’d like to introduce my school life as follows.
My school is not big but beautiful. The clean campus is full of life with students hurrying to class or playing sports on the playground. We study in a five-storey building shaped like an open book, where every classroom is equipped with air-conditions, a computer, and a very big screen.
My teachers have left me a deep impression. Some of them are strict with us; others are kind and patient. They are all professional and willing to give us any help we need.
I feel excited about the brand-new life in senior high. In the meanwhile, having more homework and thus less spare time makes me a little stressed. But I feel hopeful of achieving my goals in such an excellent school.
Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unluckily the son died in his late teens.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald’s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters.
Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled—to sell his entire collection at an auction.
Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
The poor-quality painting didn’t receive any bidders... except one — the old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer read from the will, “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over.
4. The English Baron Fitzgerald was________.
A. a museum director B. a master of art
C. an art collector D. an artist
5. Why did the old servant bid for the painting of Fitzgerald’s son
A. He served Fitzgerald’s son and loved him. B. He saw that no one bid for it.
C He knew the content of the will. D. He found it cheap for him to buy
6. What kind of person was the old servant
A. Proud. B. Kind. C. Foolish. D. Clever.
7. Which of the following is the best title of this passage
A. The Auction B. The Painting of the Son
C. The Servant at the Auction D. One Painting for All

“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices(设备)in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn't show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction.” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet(平板电脑)(59%)and work a mobile phone(57%)more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces(鞋带)(53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
8. According to Professor Greenfield,using digital media in education leads to ______.
A. being in bad terms with family members
B. making more mistakes when taking exams
C. falling far behind others in all schoolwork
D. failing to relate to other people's emotions

The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at-Hebron High School in Texas. However, when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends.
While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by more than a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy. “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott estimates that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools. She said the US government has designated(指定) Mandarin as a “critical need” language and provided professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security(安全) and economic competitiveness,” Abbott said.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors(赞助) Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
12. Thomas Cheatham decided to study Mandarin instead of Latin because the thought______.
A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin
B. Mandarin might help him learn more about Chinese food.
C. Mandarin could enable him to make more friends online
D. Mandarin could have more advantages in his future career
13. The underlined word “proficiency” in Paragraph 4 probably. means“________”.
A. strong interest B. great skill C. lack of practice D. a level of difficulty
14. Which of the statements below is TRUE according to the passage
A Americans are considering China as a great economic competitor.
B. Chinese is the most popular second language in the US.
C. American students are only studying Chinese in public schools.
D. The Confucius Institute at the University of Texas is the first one in the US.
15. What is the main idea of the article
A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B. The influence of China’s growing power on Americans.
C. The benefits of learning Mandarin for Americans.
D. How Confucius Institutes in the US help promote Mandarin.
