第四部分 写作
第一节 应用文
参考范文:
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I’m Li Hua from Class one Senior one. I’ve read your notice for hosts of the English Festival. I’m writing this letter to apply to be one.
Firstly, I have a good command of English, particularly spoken English, so I can express myself clearly and freely. Besides, I am out-going and confident, which makes it easy for me to communicate with other hosts and performers. In addition, I have experience in being a host, so I think I’m qualified for it.
I would be grateful if you could give me an opportunity. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写 参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
“Uhhh ... just some Sugar Babies,” I replied, still not skilled in telling lies. “Sugar Babies Where did you get the money to buy them ” My mother expressed the doubt in her mind, clearly not knowing what exactly had happened. “I ... uh ... didn’t really buy them.” After the five words came out of my mouth, she understood everything. Rather than just going into Grandmother’s house, she began backing out of my grandmother’s driveway and drove back to Cottle’s!
Paragraph 2:
After pulling into Cottle’s parking lot, my mother took me into the store. Within minutes, she managed to find the store manager. “Tell Mr. Proulx what you did!” she said in a loud voice. Ashamed, I admitted what I had done and apologized. Mr. Proulx accepted my apology along with the money paid for the sweets and explained the serious consequences it would bring if I did it again. What an experience! Thank you all for keeping me from a life of crime.
附:习题解析
A篇
本文是应用文。文章介绍了四个欧洲优秀的节日。
21. 细节理解题。根据Carnival of Venice部分的“There is a water parade, a grand ball with old and modern music, and a popularity contest for best mask design.(有水上游行,有古老和现代音乐的盛大舞会,还有最佳面具设计的人气比赛)”可知,在威尼斯狂欢节,人们可以设计不同的面具。故选B。
22. 细节理解题。根据Carnival of Venice部分的“The Carnival of Venice, which began in 1979”;Glastonbury Festival部分的“Held in Somerset, England, since the 1970s, the festival is a major part of the British culture.(自20世纪70年代以来,这个节日在英国的萨默塞特举行,是英国文化的重要组成部分)”;Tomorrowland部分的“First organized in 2005”以及Sziget Festival部分的“Started in 1993”可知,Tomorrowland历史最短。故选A。
23. 细节理解题。根据Carnival of Venice部分的“There is a water parade, a grand ball with old and modern music, and a popularity contest for best mask design.(有水上游行,有古老和现代音乐的盛大舞会,还有最佳面具设计的人气比赛)”;Glastonbury Festival部分的“ Major pop act performers are invited to perform and headline.(主要的流行艺人被邀请表演并成为头条新闻)”;Tomorrowland部分的“ For the music lovers, Tomorrowland is one of the largest electronic music festivals which takes place in Belgium. (对于音乐爱好者来说,Tomorrowland是比利时最大的电子音乐节之一)”以及Sziget Festival部分的“The festival features the non-stop party and amazing live concerts.(节日的特色是不间断的派对和令人惊叹的现场音乐会)”可知,四个节日的共同之处是它们都与音乐有关。故选B。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名还未出生时便被诊断患有脊椎裂且出生时只有2%的大脑未受囊肿影响的男孩Noah经历十数次手术后,打破了其无法活下来的医学预言并庆祝9岁生日的故事。
24. A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“His life is pretty normal, which is astonishing considering doctors didn’t even expect Noah to survive his birth.”可知,他的生活很正常,鉴于医生甚至没有想到Noah能活下来,所以至今已经九岁的Noah的生活是令人吃惊的。故选A。
25. A 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“Noah has gone through 11 surgeries so far and there are many more to come”和“everyone’s expectations”可知,到目前为止,Noah已经经历了11次手术,接下来还会有更多的手术,但他已经超出了所有人的预期。由此可推知,画线词应意为“超出,超过”,与A项意思相近。故选A。
26. B 观点态度题。根据第五段和第七段内容可知,他的母亲Michelle说道:“他们告诉我们他可能无法讲话,听不见,也不能吃东西,或(做)任何事情。但我看见他会看时间、阅读、做数学(题)并热爱科学。他能够谈论太阳系。他有着不可思议的梦想。他每天都会做一些让我印象深刻的事,我为他感到非常自豪。我会尽我所能帮助他,并永远陪伴在他身边。”由此可推知,母亲对Noah的未来的态度是积极的。故选B。
27. C 标题概括题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了一名患有严重疾病的男孩Noah拥有惊人的毅力,打破了其无法活下来的医学预言,还庆祝了自己9岁生日的故事。因此C项是本文的最佳标题。故选C。
C篇
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍WebConserva在哥伦比亚的San Lucas发起了保护当地生态环境的项目并取得了一定的成效。
28. 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,San Lucas是哥伦比亚最原始的地方之一,有数千种动植物,但是金矿开采和古柯种植对它的生态系统造成了严重的破坏。为了限制该地区被过度开发,WebConserva发起了这一项目。由此可推知,该项目的目的是保护该地区的生物多样性,故选D项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2016, the Colombian government signed…As a result, more land became accessible for use…almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015”可知,2016年,哥伦比亚结束多年内战,这使得更多土地可以被开采使用,毁林现象出现,森林面积大幅度减少。故选B项。
30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle”可知,Barajas的咖啡种植园充当了一道把养牛场和野生动物隔开的屏障,如此一来,他就不用为了保护牛而杀死野生动物了。由此可推知,他的种植园既保护了牛,又保护了野生动物。故选A项。
31. 词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part.”可知,Barajas是参与这个项目的成员之一,现在他不再砍伐森林和捕杀野生动物,再结合最后一段中的“I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals(我正照顾着环境,森林和动物)”可知,他现在已经把自己看成这片土地的守护者。由此推知,划线词意为“守护者”,与guardian同义。故选C项。
D篇
这是一篇说明文,主要说明了音乐对人大脑和心理的所能够产生的积极影响。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.(最近的一项研究表明,早产婴儿在听音乐时疼痛感减轻,进食量增加。)”可知音乐有助于减轻早产儿的痛苦。故选A。
33. 词句猜测题。根据划线部分第四段第一句的转折关系,以及“Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.(参与者被要求通过一些听力测试。音乐家比非音乐家能更好地听到声音,而且这种差异随着年龄的增长而变得更加明显。这意味着,即使在嘈杂的环境中,70岁的音乐家也比50岁的非音乐家听力更好。)”可知,因此划线词所在句子的意思为“虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失,但它确实可以延缓听力的丧失”,即划线词stave off意为“延缓”。故选C。
34. 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.(问题是,音乐可以帮助人们从心脏病发作或心脏手术中恢复,降低血压,减慢心跳速度,减少焦虑。听高质量的音乐能产生积极的情绪,促进血液流动,扩张血管,从而促进整个心血管系统的快速恢复。)”可知,音乐可以修补一颗破碎的心,是因为它对人体系统的工作有积极的影响。故选A。
35. 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.(继续阅读,了解音乐的神奇力量。)”;第二段第一句“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.(最近的一项研究表明,早产婴儿听音乐时疼痛感减轻,进食量增加。)”;第三段第二句“Music can help recover from brain injuries.( 音乐有助于脑损伤的康复。)”;第四段第一句“Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing.(虽然音乐不能使耳聋消失,但它确实可以延缓听力的丧失。)”;第五段第一句“Besides, music mends a broken heart. (此外,音乐能抚平破碎的心。)”可知,本文主要说明音乐对人身体和心理的积极影响。因此,本文的最佳标题为D选项“How music affects our mind and body(音乐如何影响我们的身心)”,故选D。
第二节 七选五
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助你关心的人应对严重疾病的一些建议。
36. F 上文讲当你在乎的某个人患了重病或者正在应对某种危及生命的疾病时,你可能不知道该说些什么或做些什么;下文讲你怎样才能提供最好的支持呢?F项“你爱的人可能在遭受一些痛苦的情绪”承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
37. G 上文讲你可以提供具体的帮助,即使只是在治疗期间或治疗之后陪他们坐着。G项“有时候,你能做的最重要的事就是在那里(陪在他们身边)”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
38. C 上文讲当你与患重病者交谈时,感到尴尬或不知道说什么是正常的;下文讲让他们去表达他们正在经历的事而不去评判他们。C项“但通常真正重要的是倾听对方(的心声)”承上启下,符合语境。故选C。
39. D 下文讲你越了解你所爱的人的诊断结果和治疗方案,你就会准备地越充分,进而提供帮助。但这并不意味着你应该告诉这个人他们应该做什么或不应该做什么,除非他们专门询问你的意见或想要知道你研究的内容。D项“让自己了解疾病,但不要给出建议”引出下文,符合语境。故选D。
40. B 下文讲你不能只在诊断时提供支持,你的支持在治疗前和治疗后同等重要。B项“有些疾病可能需要长期治疗”引出下文,符合语境。故选B。

Noah Wall recently celebrated his ninth birthday. The little boy from Cumbria, England, uses a wheelchair to get around. He’s extremely smart and loves learning about the solar system. His life is pretty normal, which is astonishing considering doctors didn’t even expect Noah to survive his birth.
His mom, Michelle Wall, was pregnant when tests revealed that her little one had spina bifida (脊椎裂). When they performed more tests, a scan of Noah’s head showed a cyst (囊肿) that was destroying his brain.
Michelle and her husband Rob prayed for a wonder. On the day Noah was born, he let out a huge cry the moment he appeared to let his parents know that their little guy wasn’t going down without a fight!
Scans showed that just 2 percent of Noah’s brain had survived the cyst in his head. Seven weeks after birth, he received an operation to close the opening in his spine and place a shunt (分流管) in his head to lead fluid (积液) away from his brain. Yet Noah is not mentally disabled. In fact, he’s impressively clever! At 9, he is physically active and dreams of becoming an astronaut someday.
“They told us he might not be able to speak, hear, eat, or anything,” Michelle said. “But I see he can tell the time, read, do maths and love science. He can talk about the solar system. He has unbelievable dreams.”
Noah has gone through 11 surgeries so far and there are many more to come, but he has already exceeded everyone’s expectations — in every possible way!
“Every single day he does something that impresses me,” Michelle said. “I’m so extremely proud of him. I will help him all I can and always be there for him.”
Noah! What a wonderful reminder of the importance of keeping hope alive.
24. Why is the nine-year-old Noah Wall’s life astonishing

C. His full recovery created a great wonder.
D. He will live through 11 operations.

26. What is the mother’s attitude to Noah Wall’s future

In Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.
The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have done much damage to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors(加工者) from around the country.
Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.
To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $ 77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee farm makes a barrier(屏障) between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.
Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be a steward of the land. "I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals," he said.
28. Why does WebConserva set up the project
A. To help local farmers make money. B. To expand areas of coffee growing.
C. To link processors with coffee growers. D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.
29. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over
A. Colombia helped many needy families.
B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.
C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.
D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.
30. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation
A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.
B. A substitute for hunting of wild animals.
C. A barrier between man and wild animals.
D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.
31. What does the underlined word "steward" mean in the last paragraph
A. farmer B. developer C. guardian D. explorer
D
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经系统的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
32. How does music affect preterm babies
A. It helps reduce their pain. B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems. D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
33. What does the underlined phrase “stave off ” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A. 导致 B. 增强 C. 延缓 D. 促进
34. Why can music mend a broken heart
A. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
35. What may be the best title for the text
A. Who can benefit from music B. The best time to listen to music
C. The way to choose quality music D. How music affects our mind and body

When someone you care about has suffered a serious health event or is dealing with a life-threatening illness, it can be difficult to know what to say or do. 36 How can you best offer your support These tips can help:
Offer your support. Your friend or loved one may be unwilling to ask for help, but it’s support from people like you that can make all the difference in their recovery. Offer to help with a specific task, even if it’s simply to sit with them during or after treatment. 37
Listen. When you talk to someone with a serious illness, it’s natural to feel awkward or not know what to say. 38 Allow them to express what they’re going through without judging them.
39 The more you know about your loved one’s diagnosis (诊断) and treatment, the better prepared you’ll be to help. But that doesn’t mean you should tell the person what they should or shouldn’t do, unless they specifically ask for your opinion or want to know what you’ve researched. Treatment decisions are finally always up to your loved one, so be supportive even if you don’t always agree.
Stay connected. 40 You can’t just provide support at the time of diagnosis and then let your attention go. Your support can be just as important after treatment as it is before.
A. Encourage your loved one to keep calm.
B. Some illnesses can involve long-term treatment.
C. But often what really counts is to listen to the person.
D. Educate yourself about the illness but don’t give advice.
E. All you need to do is to present your determined attitude.

G. Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is to be there.

After taking the lesson, I now understand the difficulty of calligraphy and that it will take efforts and commitment 65 (master) this art form. Yet, I am grateful to learn such a special Chinese tradition.

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。
The Belfast, Maine of my youth was not the coastal tourist village that it is today. At the time, McDonald’s hadn’t yet moved into town. Before the supermarket existed, Cottle’s, a food market where Mr. Proulx worked as the manager, was the only place where my mother could do her once-a-week shopping. Because we lived a few miles from Belfast, we’d usually combine the grocery trip with a visit to see my grandmother who always had cookies ready for us.
On one particular shopping day at Cottle’s, I stood behind my mother as she was unloading the grocery cart (购物车) and checking her items out at the register. The candy that displayed on either side of me were full of Life Savers, Clark Bars, Sugar Babies — you name it!
“Can I get some candies ” I asked. My mother rarely veered (转向) from her list so I wasn’t surprised with her response “No.” But I really wanted that candy!
I reached for a Sugar Baby package. My mother didn’t notice. So I thought she probably wouldn’t notice if I put them into my pocket. No one noticed my action — not my mother, not the cashier — no one! I did it! Wow! My very first shoplifting experience! How easy! How rewarding! Got my candy and didn’t need one penny to get it!
I sat in the back seat as my mother drove across the bridge to where my grandmother lived. Slowly, so as not to make any unnecessary noise, I opened my prize and carefully slipped a Sugar Baby into my mouth. No one piece of candy ever tasted so good!
Finally we pulled into my grandmother’s driveway. As I prepared to open my car door, I confidently slipped a few more Sugar Babies into my mouth.
“Keith, what have you got in your mouth ” I looked up at the rearview mirror (后视镜) and could see my mother’s eyes staring back at me. “I asked you a question! What have you got in your mouth ”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Uhhh ... just some Sugar Babies,” I replied, still not skilled in telling lies._______________

After pulling into Cottle’s parking lot, my mother took me into the store. ________________
