第一节(满分15分)
【参考范文】
I’m with a merry heart to introduce one of the most outstanding Chinese traditional cultures,which is the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
First of all,with a long history,Traditional Chinese Medicine,shortened as TCM,has experienced thousands of years of practice and development.Therefore,it is full of the wisdom of our Chinese ancestors.In addition,TCM is also a science,whose advantages are being more and more widely recognized by people.From my point of view,different from Western medicine,TCM aims at helping people strengthen their immunity and their body to heal itself,especially before the disease develops too long.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is well worth knowing by the whole world.
第二节(满分25分)
【参考范文】
On graduation day,I saw Kyle on the stage. I could see that he was nervous about his speech,so I smiled and shouted,“Come on,Kyle!” He looked at me gratefully and smiled too. As he started his speech,he cleared his throat and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents,your teachers,and your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.”
I just looked at Kyle with disbelief as he began to tell the story of the first day we met. He had planned to bury himself in books. That was why he carried all his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a big smile. “Thankfully,my friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome,popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. Not until that moment did I realize what I have saved. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture,you can change a person’s life.
【解析】
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A
体裁:应用文 主题语境:人与社会—招募志愿者教师援助非洲
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。通过一则广告,招募志愿者教师前往非洲马拉维Kapanda Community Day Secondary School和Mwaya Primary School协助当地教师授课。
21.D 细节理解题。根据文章“From 23 years old with a minimum of one year’s voluntary work experience.”可知,23岁以上至少有一年的志愿工作经验的人员。故选D。
22.C 细节理解题。根据文章“All subjects are taught in English.”和“Lessons are taught in English from Standard 5 upwards” 可知,两所学校都提供英文授课。故选C。
23.B 文章出处题。根据文章内容结构和结尾段的“Please go to the Application Process page,and then complete the online Enquiry Form if you are interested in becoming a volunteer teacher.”可知,本文是一篇招募志愿者教师的广告,故选B。
B
体裁:记叙文 主题语境:人与自然—厨师变废为宝,致力于解决食物浪费
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。厨师Rudolf Brand 致力于通过剩余的或有瑕疵的食材来制作高品质的食物,以转变人们对食物浪费的认识和态度。
24.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“He believes that with his dishes,he can have a big impact:not just on people’s taste buds(味蕾),but also on their way of thinking about food and food waste.”可知,他相信菜肴不仅可以满足人们的味蕾,还可以改变人们对食物和食物浪费的看法。故选A。
25.D 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“Rather than thinking about what new meals you want to cook,look at the remnants—what’s available,and then make a menu.This is what every chef should do.”可知,作为厨师,与其考虑想做什么新菜,不如看看剩下有什么可利用的,然后做一个菜单。因此remnants指的是“剩余部分”,故选D。
26.B 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“...is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin-starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the entire leg.In just three or four weeks,the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer.”可知,顶级米其林星级厨师只购买珍贵的肉块,而不是订购整条腿,导致农场里遗留了越来越多的食物山。故选B。
27.D 主旨大意题。根据文章可知,比起其他厨师浪费食物的做法,Rudolf接受质量稍差的产品不代表他的服务质量会降低,而是把它们变成盘子里高质量的食物,即“物尽其用”。A是“人多智广”;B是“积小利,成巨富”;C是“滴水穿石”,故选D。
C
体裁:说明文 主题语境:人与自我—肾上腺素激增,开启自我保护机制
【语篇导读】本文是一篇科普说明文。人们在生活中时常经历的诸如脸红、心跳加速、手心冒汗等强烈的感觉,被称为肾上腺素激增,是由压力、紧张或兴奋引起的。这种化学物质的释放能够帮助我们在危险的情形中迅速做出反应进而保护自己。
28.A 理解段落功能。由首段中“That intense feeling,also known as an adrenaline(肾上腺素)rush,is caused by stress,nervousness,or excitement.”可知,作者提到这种强烈的感受是为了引出文章的主题—adrenaline(肾上腺素)rush。故选A。
29.B 细节理解题。由第二段“The chemical helps you respond in high-risk situations—and even fight or flee.”可知,这种化学物质的释放能够帮助人类在高危的情形中做出例如反击或逃离的反应。故选B。
30.C 细节理解题。由第三段“The hormone floods into your bloodstream and jumps into action by connecting to adrenoceptors,which can be found in cells in almost every organ .When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once—more than 10 times higher than when you’re calm—it’s called an adrenaline rush.”可知,这种激素会涌入血液,并通过与几乎每个器官的细胞中都能找到的肾上腺素受体连接而迅速发挥作用。当这种化学物质大量产生时,就被称为肾上腺素激增。故选C。
31.C 理解段落主旨。由最后一段可知,这种肾上腺素的激增带来的每一个影响都是为了在危险的情况下保护你。例如:你的瞳孔可能会为了让更多的光线进入你的眼睛而扩大,进而使你看到更多的周围环境;你的大脑通过更快地工作来制定计划;你的心跳加快,向肌肉输送额外的血液,同时从肺部输送大量的氧气。因此,段落的主旨是通过例子来证明肾上腺素激发对于保护我们免受危险的积极意义,故选C。
D
体裁:议论文 主题语境:人与自我—最佳参与奖有助于帮助孩子建立自信
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。体育竞技比赛中,常常会颁发“优秀参与奖”,这不仅是一种安慰的手段,还能帮助孩子了解环境的期望和建立孩子的自信心。
32.D 推断理解题。根据第二段末尾句“Offering them a prize or medal as a form of positive reinforcement(正强化)can highlight the skills that the losers displayed and reinforce the sportsmanship that all the players displayed.” 可知作为一种积极的强化形式,给予幼年参赛者奖励可以突出失败者所展示的技能,并强化所有玩家所展示的体育精神。故选D。
33.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But what really makes a participation award worthwhile is the conversation that comes with it.‘As the caregivers around the children acknowledge their abilities,talents,and strengths,that’s the compass for how children learn about the expectations of the situation.’Pagone says.Pointing out what kids do well can also build their self-confidence.”可知,真正让参与奖有价值的是随之而来的和孩子的对话。当照顾者承认孩子的能力、天赋和优势时,既给孩子指明了环境的期望,还可以建立他们的自信。因此要选由衷地欣赏孩子,故选B。
34.C 观点态度题。根据文章末段“Positive reinforcement can also benefit older kids and adults,keeping them coming back to their hobby even after a tough practice or season,” 和“That lesson of celebrating the effort and not just the outcome remains important throughout a person’s life.”可知,积极的强化可以使年龄较大的孩子和成年人受益。同时,庆祝努力本身而不仅仅是关注结果,也是一个人的一生中重要的课题。故Kelly LaPorte对正向强化的态度是支持的“favorable”,故选C。
35.A 最佳标题题。根据整篇文章的内容和结构可知,开篇提出论点“安慰奖是否能提高孩子的自我价值感?”随后通过展示研究学家Emily Pagone的观点—承认孩子整个过程所表现出的努力是一种有效的正向强化,这种正向强化不仅能帮助孩子了解环境的期待,还能帮助他们建立信心。随后,又提出了反对的意见,即安慰奖会营造一种肤浅的奖励机制,不利于激发孩子内心的动机。最终,以Kelly LaPorte的观点结束文章,她认为诸如安慰奖的正向强化不仅对低龄段孩子有积极作用,对高龄段甚至成年人也是受益的,因为强调过程的努力比起注重单一的结果是我们一生的课程。因此文章的标题就是“是否应该有安慰奖”,故选A。
第二节
体裁:说明文 主题语境:人与自我—如何养成好习惯
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。每个人都有一些想要摆脱的坏习惯,它们会危害我们的精神和身体又非常根深蒂固,本文就提供了一些改变坏习惯、成就健康生活的方法。
36.G 段间承接关系。根据本空上文可知,坏习惯会影响我们的身心又难以觉察。下文列举了一些改变坏习惯的方法,故选G。
37.E 句间承接关系。本段的小标题是寻求合适的帮助。前句说到我们时常会独自面对坏习惯,后文说到还有专业的医生可以提供帮助,可知本句要接的是对上文的转折,我们忘了可以向周围的朋友和家人寻求帮助,故选E。
38.B 标题概括关系。根据本段内容可知,改掉坏习惯要用别的东西代替它,例如看太多电视可以用读书或锻炼来代替;任何能改变日程安排的事情都是有益的。因此段落的主旨就是养成一个新的习惯。故选B。
39.F 句间总分和并列关系。本段的段落主旨是养成新的习惯。此空上文是你可以开启一件计划已久的事,下文是或者你可以去一趟非常向往的旅行,可知此空填的是其中的一种选择,即也许你可以开始一个被搁置的项目。故选F。
40.C 段落主旨关系。本段讲述了无论我们想改掉什么习惯,都应该想象习惯改变后生活会变得多么美好。通过为未来设定目标,我们可以激励自己,并采取一种能实现这些目标的生活方式。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用

43.C 根据全文最后一句:这便是我的建议。由此可知此时侄子在征求叔叔的建议。故选advice,建议。

45.A 根据后文可知,此时叔叔想继续爬到山顶。故选top,山顶。
46.D 根据文意:侄子觉得很吃惊,但还是同意(爬到山顶)。故选surprised,意外的。
47.B 根据文意:经过很大的困难,叔侄二人终于爬到山顶。故选difficulty,困难。
48.A 根据后文可知,侄子不仅自己爬上来了,还把叔叔也拉了上来。虽然很困难,但侄子还是帮叔叔爬上了山顶,有时还把叔叔驮在肩上。故选dragged,拉,拽,驮。
49.B 根据文意:经过千辛万苦,终于爬到山顶,侄子开心地笑了。故选happily,开心地。
50.C 根据文意:叔叔问你记得这座山吗?“当然记得”,侄子点点头。故选nodded,点头。

While for many a chef,serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim,Rudolf Brand has an extra mission: fighting food waste.He believes that with his dishes,he can have a big impact: not just on people’s taste buds (味蕾),but also on their way of thinking about food and food waste.
With 22 years of experience,including Michelin starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam,he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career.So what is the best way to prevent this For him,it really comes down to one essential thing: “Rather than thinking about what new meals you want to cook,look at the remnants—what’s available,and then make a menu.This is what every chef should do.”
He’s clear on his solution: “Lose that fanciness,and look at the quality of the product and the flavor,” Rudolf explains.“There are too many chefs who are trying to be too fancy.They want to have only the biggest sea fish no matter what.Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage,only using the most delicate leaves and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste.
He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the entire leg.In just three or four weeks,the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer.“And that’s just one supplier,” he says.
While other chefs will only accept the best from their suppliers,if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits,Rudolf is still going to use it.“Just because I’ll accept produce of slightly lower quality it doesn’t mean I’m going to serve less quality.It’s my job to turn that into good quality food on the plate,” he says.

C.They are fined for wasting food. D.They sell produce at a low price.

You’ve probably felt it at some point in life: a red face,a huge heart,and a coating of sweat on your palms.That intense feeling,also known as an adrenaline (肾上腺素) rush,is caused by stress,nervousness,or excitement.
What happens to the body in any of those scenes is the same.“The special phenomenon begins in organs called adrenal glands(肾上腺).They secrete(分泌)the hormone adrenaline,preparing your body to take action”,says Alan Goodman,a professor of biological anthropology (人类学) at Hampshire College in Massachusetts.“The chemical helps you respond in high risk situations—and even to fight or flee.”
In fact,as soon as your brain senses danger,it tells your body to start making adrenaline.The hormone floods into your bloodstream and jumps into action by connecting to adrenoceptors,which can be found in cells in almost every organ.When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once—more than 10 times higher than when you’re calm—it’s called an adrenaline rush.
That flood has lots of noticeable effects,and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation.Your pupils might widen to let more light into your eyes so you can see more of your surroundings.Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan.Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles,also delivering a surge of oxygen from your lungs.All of these effects build up anxious feelings.That’s why it might seem as if your head is spinning,your thoughts are racing,or your heart is beating out of your chest.
28.Why is the strong feeling mentioned in Paragraph 1
A.To introduce the topic. B.To present research data.
C.To record an experience. D.To address healthy issues.
29.What can hormone adrenaline do
A.Relieve mental nervousness. B.Help react in risky situations.
C.Voice signals of blood disorder. D.Prevent the body from taking action.
30.When will an adrenaline rush happen
A.Our brain senses curiosity. B.Hormone floods into bones.
C.Adrenaline levels rise sharply. D.Chemicals are found in the cell.
31.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.The reason for anxious feelings. B.The effect of the brain on making plans.
C.The positive roles an adrenaline rush plays. D.The importance of recognizing headaches.

At the end of many sports tournaments and spelling bees,all the contestants are honored for their effort.But in a world where not everyone can be a winner,does getting a consolation (安慰) prize actually increase a child’s self worth
“When toddlers,preschoolers,and kindergartners compete,they don’t know the expectations adults have for them,” says Emily Pagone,an Illinois based psychologist and parenting coach.“Offering them a prize or medal as a form of positive reinforcement (正强化) can highlight the skills that the losers displayed and reinforce the sportsmanship that all the players displayed.”
But what really makes a participation award worthwhile is the conversation that comes with it.“As the caregivers around the children acknowledge their abilities,talents,and strengths,that’s the compass for how children learn about the expectations of the situation,” Pagone says.Pointing out what kids do well can also build their self confidence.
Still,there is one problem with this system: It creates a feedback loop of external motivation,driven by superficial bonus and praise.However,it’s valuable for students to play soccer not only because they’re seeking tokens to decorate their rooms,but also because they enjoy the sport.They won’t always get prizes for doing their best,so it’s crucial to build an inner desire to push through in challenging times.
For this reason,Pagone recommends transitioning away from participation awards around kindergarten or first grade.But not all experts agree that’s best.“Positive reinforcement can also benefit older kids and adults,keeping them coming back to their hobby even after a tough practice or season,” says Kelly LaPorte,clinical director of Naperville Counseling Center in Illinois.“That lesson of celebrating the effort and not just the outcome remains important throughout a person’s life.”
32.Why is a participation award important in Emily Pagone’s opinion
A.It satisfies parents’ high expectations.
B.It highlights the importance of fairness.
C.It relieves peer pressure in competition.
D.It recognizes all the contestants’ efforts.
33.Which of the following are caregivers suggested to do
A.Provide opportunities to draw a lesson.
B.Give their children heartfelt appreciation.
C.Show problem solving talents and abilities.
D.Encourage their kids with material rewards.
34.What is Kelly LaPorte’s attitude toward positive reinforcement
A.Critical. B.Unconcerned.
C.Favorable. D.Objective.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.Should Participation Awards Exist B.What Is a Positive Reinforcement
C.Strategies to Build Inner Motivation D.Why We Need Mutual Conversation

  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。
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on Friday He must really be a nerd(书呆子).”
I had quite a lot of plans on weekends, like parties and football games with my friends, so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw him fall down and his glasses go flying, with all the books landing on the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up, and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey,thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so we walked home together, talking all the way, and I carried half of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. As we would graduate soon, Kyle was valedictorian (致告别辞的学生代表) of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak.
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。
On graduation day, I saw Kyle on the stage.
I just looked at Kyle with disbelief as he began to tell the story of the first day we met.
