第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者出国留学，因繁重的学业失去自我，后来通过参加志愿者活动逐渐重拾自我的故事。
21. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The coursework wore me out... a shy girl”可知，学业压力使作者筋疲力尽，作者失去了往日的开朗，突然变得羞怯起来。故选A。
22. C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“I was a bit anxious before my first ride”可知，在开始志愿者工作之前，作者有点担心。下文提到那位女士像作者的奶奶一样与作者交谈，类似的事和乘客脸上的笑容激励作者继续做这份工作。由此可知，画线词应与anxious的含义形成对比，表示“镇定，泰然自若”，calmness与之含义相近。故选C。
23. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“all my fellows faced the same challenge... on top of everything”可知，作者发现像她一样，她的研究生同学在研究上也面临着困难，他们处境相同。be in the same boat“处境相同”。故选C。
B篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要教会人们如何原谅他人、原谅自己、和过去和解，让生活更快乐地继续下去。
24. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“It means letting go of your need for an apology.”可知，原谅意味着你不再需要（收到）道歉。故选D。
25. B 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，作者曾见过很多人错过了和别人恢复良好关系的机会，因为他们只是在等待可能永远都不会到来的道歉，还有一些人在对方早已远离他们的生活之后仍沉浸在愤怒中，因此作者建议可以原谅别人，先向别人握手言和。因此，如果你和朋友之间产生了嫌隙，你可以采取原谅的态度，主动和对方握手言和。故选B。
26. A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了人的一生中会遇到和他人争吵等许多不愉快的事。原谅意味着你能够坦然地面对以往的伤害和痛苦，继续前行。因此文章主要告诉我们学会如何原谅他人。故选A。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。科学家们发现地球比我们想象的要活跃得多，在我们的脚下有一个巨大的未被开发的生态系统，里面有大量的微生物。
27. D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions”可知，一些微生物已经存活了几千年，除了地震或火山爆发带来的变化外，它们很少移动，即它们几乎总是保持静止。故选D。
28. D 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics”可知，研究团队由来自52个国家的1200名科学家组成，他们来自地质学、微生物学、化学、物理学等多个领域。故选D。
29. B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig, the more life they find”可知，科学家们想知道生命能存在的极限深度，所以他们往深处钻。故选B。
30. A 标题概括题。阅读全文尤其是第一段内容可知，文章主要介绍了科学家们发现在我们脚下有一个巨大的生态系统，里面有大量的微生物，因此A项作本文标题最佳。故选A。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是我们的记忆偶尔会“断片”是正常的，并分析了我们记得和忘记某些事情的原因。
31. B 第一段结尾问道“是你的记忆力在衰退吗？”，接着第二段开头给出了答案，即“It’s not”（记忆力没有衰退），空后内容亦是在进一步解释，由此可知，空处也应与此相关，故B项“它正是在做它应该做的事情”符合语境。故选B。
32. C 空前提到记忆并不完美，我们的大脑并不是用来记住别人的名字、记住随后要做的某件事或记录我们经历的每件事的。空后提到，即使是最聪明的大脑，记忆也可能会出错。由此可知，空处应与大脑或记忆的不完美之处有关。C项“这些不完美只是大脑的‘出厂设置’”阐述了不完美的来源，符合语境。故选C。
33. A 根据本段内容，尤其是“You can only remember what you are concerned about”及“one major reason for forgetting... is lack of attention”可知，该段主要讲的是决定我们记得什么、忘记什么的因素中的一个，故A项“一个必要的因素是注意力”符合语境。A项中的“One”与第四段首句中的“The other”的对应关系亦是提示。故选A。
34. E 空前提到记不起词是最常见的记忆“故障”之一，空后提到发生这种事情的原因。由此可知，空处应还是在介绍记不起词这件事情，故E项“你试图想出一个词，但你不能在你的记忆中找到它”符合语境。故选E。
35. F 空前提到当你走进一个房间，突然不知道自己为什么在那里时，不要以为自己疯了或者患了阿尔茨海默病，你的记忆力也并不糟糕，回到你进入这个房间之前所在的房间并想象那里的线索。因此空处应是在说回到之前的房间并想象线索的结果，故F项“你刚刚十分困惑的东西会立即呈现出来”符合语境。故选F。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者学习并教别人折纸鹤的经历告诉我们，在教与学的过程中，老师需要具备一定的技能、耐心和热情，而学生要有学习兴趣，且学习任务要有意义。
36. C 根据下文中的“the simple paper form that magically moved its wings if I pulled the tail”可知，作者小时候对折纸鹤很着迷。absorbed“被……吸引住，极感兴趣的”，符合语境。be concerned in“与……有关联”；be occupied in“忙于”；be involved in“参加，参与”。

41. C 根据下文中的“they all their first paper-folding lesson from me”可知，学生们都不了解怎么折纸鹤。familiarity“了解，熟悉”，符合语境。

43. D 根据语境可知，在作者的指导下，几乎每个人都掌握了折纸鹤的窍门，但当他们看到作者做得非常流畅熟练而自己仍然做得很笨拙时，他们感到非常沮丧。get the hang of sth.“掌握……的要领，找到了诀窍”，符合语境。
44. A 参见上题解析。fluently“流畅熟练地”；casually“不经意地，随便地”；differently“不同地”；cautiously“谨慎地，小心地”。
45. C 根据上文中的“doing clumsily”和下文中的“Learning can be hard”可知，当我们刚开始学习一种技能时，这通常有点难。awkward“难对付的，难应付的”，符合语境。

49. B 有时，如果老师期望学生的进步速度超过他们的能力，就会产生脱节。disconnect“脱节”，符合语境。dislike“不喜欢，反感”；dishonour“耻辱，丢脸”；disapproval“不赞同，反对”。
50. D 参见上题解析。ready“准备好的”；willing“乐意，愿意”；sure“肯定的”；able“有能力的，能够”。
51. A 根据空前的“the teacher shows strong excitement but the students show no”可知，此处指学生没有表现出一点儿兴趣。interest“兴趣”，符合语境。respect“尊重”；confidence“信心”；talent“天赋”。
52. B 学习可能是困难的，但它也可以像咖啡因一样让人充满活力。energetic“充满活力的”，符合语境。
53. C 此处指的应是激发孩子的求知欲。curiosity“求知欲”，符合语境。confusion“困惑”；success“成功”；challenge“挑战”。
54. A 根据上文中的“setting off those sparks (火花)”及“tending the flame with love”可知，此处指用上面的方法，教育开始奏效。work“奏效，产生预期的效果”。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。众所周知，坚持长跑可以锻炼人的耐力，提高心肺功能，减肥塑身。但对于初次练习长跑的人来说，还应该注意方式方法，本文对此提出了一些建议。
56. However 考查连词。此处表示一开始长跑的想法会让人沮丧。然而，只要有足够的耐心和循序渐进的方法，你就能踏出坚实的步伐。前后两分句之间为转折关系，又有逗号隔开，应用however连接。故填However。注意首字母大写。
57. that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为“a solid pace”，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，应用that/which引导该从句。故填that/which。
58. based 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“a training schedule”与动词短语base on之间是被动关系，此处应用base的过去分词形式作后置定语。故填based。
59. to push 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式作“the urge”的定语。故填to push。
60. injury/being injured 考查词性转换或非谓语动词。此处表示跑步是一种存在受伤风险的运动。介词后接名词或动名词。故填injury/being injured。
61. yourself 考查代词。此处表示减少自己受伤的几率应用反身代词。故填yourself。
62. walking 考查非谓语动词。根据上文中的“between running and”可知，此处应与running形式上保持一致。故填walking。
63. minutes 考查名词的单复数。minute是可数名词，此处表示20分钟，应用其复数形式。故填minutes。
64. to 考查介词。固定搭配double...to...意为“使……加倍”。故填to。
fortably 考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“running”。故填comfortably。

第二节 读后续写
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
I suddenly thought of a friend who lived nearby. Without hesitation, I called him telling him about the situation. He readily said he would get some tools. Besides, he asked his neighbor, who had worked as a rescuer to come along with him. Minutes later, we managed to get the child out. Fortunately, there were only some minor injuries, but he was trembling with fear and cold, failing to speak any words. We immediately sent him to hospital. After he calmed down, he told us his parents’ phone number and we informed his parents at once.
Paragraph 2:
The parents of the child arrived at the hospital quickly. They were totally shocked to hear of what had happened. Knowing their son was safe, they walked to us, expressing their gratitude to us again and again and insisting on offering us some gifts. But we left secretly after everything was OK. It was a wonderful memory, one I will never forget. I was glad and proud that I had been part of that act. Though the wind continued when I went home, I felt much warmer.

W: Yes, I’ve got a master’s degree in drama. At the moment, I am hoping to get into a PhD program.
M: What excites you about drama
W: I find it’s a great way to study people. You learn how to read people through drama. So usually, I can understand what people are saying, even though they might be lying.
M: That’s very useful.
W: Yeah, it is. I mainly work as an English teacher, so I use a lot of drama in my classes, such as role-playing. And I ask my students to create mini-dramas. They really respond well to this type of instruction.

W: Really I didn’t know you liked those kinds of books. I thought they were for kids.
M: Most of them are. But in 1986, a really famous artist made a Spider-Man book that is for adults. It is very well written and it really impresses me.
W: What is so good about the Spider-Man story
M: Well, it’s about Spider-Man, but it’s also about society at the time. Things are never as simple as they seem.
W: Sounds interesting. What other stories like that do you like
M: I also like Watchmen by Alan Moore from 1987, and The X-Men by Chris Claremont from 1981. They also deal with adult themes.
Text 10
W: My friend Leo makes up weak excuses whenever there is something he doesn’t want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn’t want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn’t a convincing (有说服力的) one. Another time, he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck. She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He’d promised he’d help me move some furniture from my parents’ house to my new apartment. He was supposed to bring his truck over at about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine. At about 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he’d been getting a new set of tires put on his truck. I guess he’d forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends. I’m beginning to get tired of Leo’s excuses.绝密★启用前

第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 （共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.
I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving.
I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away.
As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear.
21. What led to the author becoming shy
A. The heavy academic burden.
B. Fearing to talk to strangers.
C. The loneliness of being abroad.
D. Being unfamiliar with the new school.
22. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3
A. Strength. B. Courage.
C. Calmness. D. Enthusiasm.
23. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A. She worked very hard on her research.
B. She experienced a sense of incompetence.
C. She was in the same boat as her schoolmates.
D. She regained connection with her friends.
B
Forgiving doesn’t mean saying the pain doesn’t matter or what the other person said or did was OK. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means letting go of your need for an apology. It means making peace with past hurt and pain. It means choosing to move on. All of this is easy to say, hard to do. But forgiveness can happen in a series of small steps over time.
Take your feelings seriously. Forgiving doesn’t mean shrugging your shoulders and saying “Oh, well.” Cry, feel sad, throw things hard, or write angry passages in your diary to get rid of some of the stress. Talk with trusted friends or family to ask for advice to help find solutions to your problems. You have the right to feel hurt and angry. But suffering these feelings over time does you great harm.
Make a difference in your life. I’ve seen that many miss the opportunity for getting back a good relationship with someone else because they just wait for the apology that may never come. Others stay stuck in anger long after the other person has stopped to be a part of their lives. Make a decision to make a difference for yourself. That may be forgiving or being the first to reach out to the other so that you can move on with your own life.
Forgive yourself and engage in positive self-talk. Although you may mainly blame the other person, it’s important to forgive yourself with positive self-talk. Feel certain that you can learn from this and move on. Tell yourself that you will survive this pain and that life will get better because you can make a choice to let go.
Try understanding the other. This doesn’t reduce your pain but may make what happened more understandable. Understanding doesn’t forgive hurtful behavior, but understanding can help to get rid of your anger and to forgive.
Realize that forgiveness benefits you most of all. The other person may never know about your forgiveness. But forgiving and letting go can lighten the load on your body and on your spirit.
24. What does forgiving mean according to the text
A. The pain the other person brought you isn’t very serious.
B. What the other person has said or done doesn’t hurt you.
C. You don’t care and have forgotten what happened to you.
D. You needn’t the other person to say sorry to you any more.
25. What should you do if you have a quarrel with your close friend according to paragraph 3
A. Wait for your friend’s apology.
B. Take the initiative to say hello to your friend.
C. Try your best to forget your problem.
D. Have positive self-talk.
26. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How to forgive other people.
B. Forgiveness is helpful for us all.
C. Understanding can help forgive others.
D. Life gets better if you choose to forgive.
C
Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world’s oceans. Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms (微生物). “It’s like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth,” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different. Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions. They’re just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics. A year before the conclusion of their study, they will present the findings before the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig, the more life they find. There is a temperature maximum — currently 122℃ — but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes, and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved (共同进化).
27. What do the scientists find about the underground organisms
A. They can’t reproduce and divide.
B. They’re the oldest living things.
C. Some of them consume no energy.
D. Some of them almost always keep still.
28. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 3
A. It lasts for around one year.
B. It is conducted in 52 countries.
C. It promotes technical development.
D. It involves efforts from multiple fields.
29. Why do the scientists drill deep
A. To break their previous record.
B. To find the depth limit of life.
C. To discover more ancient microorganisms.
D. To detect the highest subsurface temperature.
30. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Earth’s Depths Are Full of Life
B. Organisms Live Better Underground
C. Earth Is Far Beyond Human Exploration
D. Subsurface Life Differs from That on Land

Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It’s not. 31 Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to record everything we experience. 32 Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget
33 Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you’re exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus (刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. 34 Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation (激活) of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. 35
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t.
E. You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F. It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.

The idea of running long distances can be discouraging at first. 56 , with a lot of patience and a baby-step approach, you can steadily develop a solid pace 57 will last for longer and longer stretches, even while you chat with your running partner!
Whether you are only beginning to run or have already made a practice of it, design a training schedule 58 (base) on your current abilities. Forget “no pains, no gains.” Resist the urge 59 (push) yourself too hard or too fast. Keep your runs sensible and achievable, especially in the beginning.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was an evening in July. The skies were darker than normal. Rain fell in big drops, thunder crashed in and lightning flashed across the skies. I shook with cold and fear as I walked through the streams of muddy water. Cars moved slowly because of the traffic jam, while passers-by were rushing by, completely wet in the heavy rain.
Along the way, I saw some schoolchildren grasping their heavy schoolbags and heading home. As more thunder crashed and boomed, I also sped up. Near a crossing, some road repair work was left unfinished. Obviously the workers had left in a hurry because of the storm. There were a few warning signs but it was hard to see what they said and what was on the road. I took a pace towards them — there were pieces of wood and metal as well as a hole which now was half-covered with boards.
I carefully avoided the possible danger and moved on. Seconds later, I stopped as I heard some sounds. They sounded like crying. I turned around, held my breath and listened, trying to figure out where the sounds were coming from, but all I could hear was the wind and the rain. “Maybe it is just the wind,” I thought to myself and was about to leave.
“Help!” a loud and desperate scream came behind. Quickly, I turned back and traced the sound to where it had come from. My eyes fell on the place. It was horrible — one young child had fallen into the gaping hole in the road. My heart grew heavier. The boards had been moved away by the force of the rushing water and wind. I could barely see the child as it was dark all around me. I tried to save him, but all my efforts were in vain (徒劳). “Don’t panic!” I pretended to be calm and shouted at the top of my voice. “I’ll soon get you out of there.”
