A
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADIID(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

Winslow Homer was the second of the three sons of Henrietta Benson Homer and Charles Savage Homer. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1836 and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His father was an importer of tools and other goods. His mother was a painter. Winslow got his interest in drawing and painting form his mother. But his father also supported his son’s interest. Once, on a business trip to London, Charles Winslow bought a set of drawing facsimiles (摹本) for his son to copy. Young Winslow used these to develop his early skill.
Winslow’s older brother Charles went to Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The family expected Winslow would go, too. But, at the time, Harvard didn’t teach art. So Winslow’s father found him a job as an ass istant in the trade of making and preparing pictures for print media. At 19, Winslow learned the process of lithography (平版印刷术), which was the only formal training that Winslow ever received in art.
In 1859, Winslow Homer moved to New York City to work for Harper’s Weekly. Homer also started to paint seriously. He hoped to go to Europe to study painting. But, something cropped up that would change the direction of Winslow Homer’s artistic work. Harper’s Magazine would send him to draw pictures of the biggest event in American history since independence. It was the American Civil War between the Union and the rebel (反叛的) southern states.
Winslow Homer went to Washington, D. C., in 1861. He drew pictures of the campaign of Union Army Major General George B. McClellan the next year. His pictures of the war showed many ways that conflicts affect people.
1.Who had the same interest as Winslow according to the text
A.His father. B.His mother. C.His teacher. D.His brother
2.Why didn’t Winslow go to Harvard University
A.He didn’t want to go there. B.He wasn’t admitted to Harvard University.
C.He couldn’t learn art in Harvard University. D.His family had no money to send him there.
3.The underlined phrase “cropped up” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”.
A.appeared B.remained C.followed D.interrupted
4.How does the text develop
A.By comparison. B.In order of time. C.By giving examples. D.By questioning the points.
C
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project

D
Some people are like homing pigeons: Drop them off anywhere, and they'll find their way around. Other people, though, can't tell when they’re holding a map upside down. Are the directionally challenged just bad learners
Not all of your navigational(导航的) skills are learned. Research shows that your sense of direction is innate. An innate ability is something you are born with. Your brain has special navigational neurons-head-direction cells,place cells,and grid cells(网格细胞)—and they help programme your inside compass when you're just a baby.
In 2010, scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats neural activity in their brains. Although the rats were newborns,the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells (which help them recognize the direction they're facing) were fully grown and developed, The rats, it seemed, were born with a sense of direction. And they hadn't even opened their eyes yet.
Humans, of course, are not rats. But the hippocampus-the brain area we use for navigation is similar in most mammals. If the rat's compass develops this way, then it s likely that a human's compass does, too.
If we're born with a sense of direction, then why are some people so good at getting lost The scientists found that the two other cells place and grid cells —developed within the first month. Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind, while grid cells help us navigate now and unfamiliar places. The two cells work together, and that's where the trouble might be.
People who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. Monitoring their brains, the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they were- even without landmarks. According to researcher Michael Kahana,differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.
1.What did the 2010 research find
A.Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions.
B.Rats' hippocampus is different from that of humans.
C.Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes.
D.Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups.
2.What do we know about our navigational neurons
A.Place cells let us know how to read a map.
B.Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to.
C.They help us use a compass when we lose our way.
D.Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells.
3.Why are some people so good at getting lost
A.They can’t remember landmarks. B.Their grid cells can't work very well.
C.They are unfamiliar with new places. D.Their ability to follow directions is poor.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.Human navigational skills. B.The compass in rats' body.
C.Why grid cells are useful. D.How homing pigeons work.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。续写词数应为150左右。
Fifteen years ago, I was born in a big family. I had been taught that money couldn't buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. As much as my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences.
As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师), but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts accompanied by women in their designer dresses with matching handbags and shoes.
My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our hand-me-down clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this revealed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the big old red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them.
I never stopped those fantasies, even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. As a result, I constantly felt ashamed. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my poverty was embarrassingly apparent on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sister's old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her like a shadow. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party.
However, I grew upset as I couldn't afford a gift.____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节
答案：carrots; shiny/shining; so; myself; earlier; to cook; searched; swept; where; a
解析：本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了16年前的戒指失而复得的故事。
①考查名词单复数。根据上文的"a handful of"可知,此处表示一把小胡萝卜,所以应用carrot的复数形式。
②考查形容词。根据上文的"a"及下文的名词"object" 可知,此处需要用形容词作定语修饰名词,故填shiny或shining。
③考查固定结构。Pahlsson的尖叫声是如此响亮以至于她的女儿从房子中跑了出来。此处是so... that...结构,表示"如此……以至于……"。
④考查代词。根据语境可知,hurt这一动作的发出者和承受者为同一人,故应用I的反身代词形式,意为"她认为我伤了我自己",故填 myself。
⑤考查副词的比较级。此处表示"16年前",故填earlier"……之前,先前"。
⑥考查不定式。此处不定式表示"目的",意为"去掉钻戒以做饭",故填to cook。
⑦考查动词的时态。根据本段的基本时态为一般过去时及语境可知,此处应用一般过去时表示发生在过去的动作,故填searched。
⑧考查过去分词。根据上文的"got"及语境可知,此处应填sweep的过去分词形式swept,意为"被扫进"。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the garden,在从句中充当地点状语,故填where。
⑩考查冠词。此处表示"一个奇迹",所以需要用不定冠词a表泛指。

Body language varies from culture to culture. For instance, when talking to the elderly in China, we usually look down to avoid eye contact as sign of respect. On the other hand, some gestures have the same meaning. We favour shaking hands, smiling or nodding the head to greet someone, just as you do.
I hope my introduction can be helpful to you. Wish you good journey.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
However, I grew upset as I couldn't afford a gift. It would be embarrassing to be present without a gift, but her insistence put me in a dilemma. Ultimately, I accepted her invitation against my will. I was wondering what to do when the values my parents taught me flashed across my mind. "Why not make a gift by myself " I made a toy with materials on hand and put it into a box. Finally, the big day came.
When she opened the gift box, my heart missed a beat. On seeing the toy, the boys and girls froze with surprise and then burst into laughter. I lowered my head in shame, tears streaming down my cheeks. At this moment, Julie came over and hugged me tightly, saying it was the best gift that she had ever received. I brightened up at her words and was fully aware that money couldn't buy everything. It was our friendship that really mattered I would cherish this moment forever.

A
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADIID(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis

Winslow Homer was the second of the three sons of Henrietta Benson Homer and Charles Savage Homer. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1836 and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His father was an importer of tools and other goods. His mother was a painter. Winslow got his interest in drawing and painting form his mother. But his father also supported his son’s interest. Once, on a business trip to London, Charles Winslow bought a set of drawing facsimiles (摹本) for his son to copy. Young Winslow used these to develop his early skill.
Winslow’s older brother Charles went to Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The family expected Winslow would go, too. But, at the time, Harvard didn’t teach art. So Winslow’s father found him a job as an ass istant in the trade of making and preparing pictures for print media. At 19, Winslow learned the process of lithography (平版印刷术), which was the only formal training that Winslow ever received in art.
In 1859, Winslow Homer moved to New York City to work for Harper’s Weekly. Homer also started to paint seriously. He hoped to go to Europe to study painting. But, something cropped up that would change the direction of Winslow Homer’s artistic work. Harper’s Magazine would send him to draw pictures of the biggest event in American history since independence. It was the American Civil War between the Union and the rebel (反叛的) southern states.
Winslow Homer went to Washington, D. C., in 1861. He drew pictures of the campaign of Union Army Major General George B. McClellan the next year. His pictures of the war showed many ways that conflicts affect people.
1.Who had the same interest as Winslow according to the text
A.His father. B.His mother. C.His teacher. D.His brother
2.Why didn’t Winslow go to Harvard University
A.He didn’t want to go there. B.He wasn’t admitted to Harvard University.
C.He couldn’t learn art in Harvard University. D.His family had no money to send him there.
3.The underlined phrase “cropped up” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”.
A.appeared B.remained C.followed D.interrupted
4.How does the text develop
A.By comparison. B.In order of time. C.By giving examples. D.By questioning the points.

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean

Some people are like homing pigeons: Drop them off anywhere, and they'll find their way around. Other people, though, can't tell when they’re holding a map upside down. Are the directionally challenged just bad learners
Not all of your navigational(导航的) skills are learned. Research shows that your sense of direction is innate. An innate ability is something you are born with. Your brain has special navigational neurons-head-direction cells,place cells,and grid cells(网格细胞)—and they help programme your inside compass when you're just a baby.
In 2010, scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats neural activity in their brains. Although the rats were newborns,the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells (which help them recognize the direction they're facing) were fully grown and developed, The rats, it seemed, were born with a sense of direction. And they hadn't even opened their eyes yet.
Humans, of course, are not rats. But the hippocampus-the brain area we use for navigation is similar in most mammals. If the rat's compass develops this way, then it s likely that a human's compass does, too.
If we're born with a sense of direction, then why are some people so good at getting lost The scientists found that the two other cells place and grid cells —developed within the first month. Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind, while grid cells help us navigate now and unfamiliar places. The two cells work together, and that's where the trouble might be.
People who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. Monitoring their brains, the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they were- even without landmarks. According to researcher Michael Kahana,differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.
1.What did the 2010 research find
A.Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions.
B.Rats' hippocampus is different from that of humans.
C.Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes.
D.Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups.
2.What do we know about our navigational neurons
A.Place cells let us know how to read a map.
B.Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to.
C.They help us use a compass when we lose our way.
D.Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells.
3.Why are some people so good at getting lost
A.They can’t remember landmarks. B.Their grid cells can't work very well.
C.They are unfamiliar with new places. D.Their ability to follow directions is poor.
4.What is the text mainly about
A.Human navigational skills. B.The compass in rats' body.
C.Why grid cells are useful. D.How homing pigeons work.

Fifteen years ago, I was born in a big family. I had been taught that money couldn't buy everything ever since I was a little kid. My parents are the most hard-working people I have ever seen. As much as my parents tried to teach me these values, some could only be learned through personal experiences.
As a child, I would sit in the church trying to concentrate on the words of the priest (牧师), but my attention was soon attracted by the shining gold and the diamonds worn by the Saturday churchgoers. As my eyes began to wander, I noticed men dressed in their tailored suits and shirts accompanied by women in their designer dresses with matching handbags and shoes.
My family, on the other hand, was the opposite of rich. Our hand-me-down clothes had been washed so many times that the colors had become dull and lifeless. Although this revealed the money struggles of our large family, our faces were always washed and hair neatly combed. When sitting on the big old red and white truck after the service, I pictured the lives led by those driving their brand-new cars, wishing I would be one of them.
I never stopped those fantasies, even when I was in middle school. Since it was a private school, most of the children came from wealthy families. As a result, I constantly felt ashamed. Although I could hide my lack of wealth at school by wearing our school uniforms, my poverty was embarrassingly apparent on weekends with my classmates wearing designer jeans and I had no choice but to wear my sister's old jeans. I never fitted in with my classmates. To my relief, there was only one girl named Julie who opened her heart to me. I was attached to her like a shadow. Soon, her birthday was approaching. Julie invited me to attend her birthday party.
However, I grew upset as I couldn't afford a gift.____________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

⑧考查过去分词。根据上文的"got"及语境可知,此处应填sweep的过去分词形式swept,意为"被扫进"。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the garden,在从句中充当地点状语,故填where。
⑩考查冠词。此处表示"一个奇迹",所以需要用不定冠词a表泛指。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear Tom,
Hearing that you will come to China, I’d like to extend my warmest welcome.
Body language varies from culture to culture. For instance, when talking to the elderly in China, we usually look down to avoid eye contact as sign of respect. On the other hand, some gestures have the same meaning. We favour shaking hands, smiling or nodding the head to greet someone, just as you do.
I hope my introduction can be helpful to you. Wish you good journey.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
However, I grew upset as I couldn't afford a gift. It would be embarrassing to be present without a gift, but her insistence put me in a dilemma. Ultimately, I accepted her invitation against my will. I was wondering what to do when the values my parents taught me flashed across my mind. "Why not make a gift by myself " I made a toy with materials on hand and put it into a box. Finally, the big day came.
When she opened the gift box, my heart missed a beat. On seeing the toy, the boys and girls froze with surprise and then burst into laughter. I lowered my head in shame, tears streaming down my cheeks. At this moment, Julie came over and hugged me tightly, saying it was the best gift that she had ever received. I brightened up at her words and was fully aware that money couldn't buy everything. It was our friendship that really mattered I would cherish this moment forever.
