It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!

Nasugraq Rainey Hopson is an author and illustrator (插图画家). She has written short stories and made art inspired by her I upiaq culture. The I upiaq people are native to Alaska, the US. Hopson’s first and only novel to date, Eagle Drums, is set in I upiaq tales about a great festival. The great festival is still celebrated locally today.
In the book, the hero Pina struggles with the suffering from losing his brothers, who have traveled to a nearby mountain and never returned. Pina decides to go to the same mountain, trying to uncover the facts, where he happens to meet Savik, who gives Pina a choice: To follow him or to meet the same fortune as his brothers. Pina’s decision takes himself on a journey that exposes himself to the dances and songs that are part of I upiaq culture. Eagle Drums describes aspects of I upiaq life as a world that doesn’t exist much in the current world, such as walking in the tundra (苔原) and imagining mythological beings and talking animals everywhere. It will definitely inspire the teen magical thinking in its beauty.
Hopson wants to write more I upiaq stories. “We have a lot of oral history and stories in our culture,” she says. Hopson explains that I upiaq people use their voices, facial expressions and movements to express emotions as they tell a story. “But you can’t do that when you’re writing,” she says. “It’s very uncomfortable, in a way, to have to write down something that is a performance.” But she’s up for the challenge.
Eagle Drums is for anyone who is looking for a vivid adventure. Hopson says that when I upiaq kids read her work, they get excited about seeing something from their own area and their own culture. Other kids who read her work tell Hopson they’re excited about experiencing a story they’ve never experienced before in a new place. “You know, that’s the best part, hearing feedbacks,” she says.
8. What do we know about Eagle Drums
A. It is based on the author’s culture. B. It is about a world-famous festival.
C. It is one of the author’s best novels. D. It is rich in illustrations on each page.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Eagle Drums
A. Its intention. B. Its background.
C. Its content. D. Its comment.
10. Why does Hopson think it uncomfortable to write I upiaq stories
A. The I upiaq people are poor performers
B. The I upiaq culture is too rich for words.
C. The I upiaq language is difficult to catch on.
D. The I upiaq stories are little known by people.
11. What is the text

Language function and the psychosocial well-being of patients and their families can be promoted with singing-based rehabilitation (康复). Group intervention provides opportunities for peer support while being simultaneously cost-effective.
Approximately 40% of stroke (中风) survivors experience aphasia (失语症). a difficulty to understand or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular (脑血管的) accident. In half of these cases, the language damage still continues one-year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness.
According to a recent study conducted at the University of Helsinki, singing-based group rehabilitation can support communication and speech production of patients and increase social activity even at the long-lasting stage of stroke. The hard work experienced among the family caregivers participating in the study also decreased remarkably. “Our study is the first where caregivers participated in rehabilitation and their psychological well-being was evaluated.” says Postdoctoral Researcher Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
Previous research has established that the ability to sing can be left even in severe aphasia. “Our study used a wide variety of singing elements, such as singing by a group of singers, melodic intonation treatment and tablet-assisted singing training.” clarifies Doctoral Researcher Anni Pitkǎniemi.
In melodic intonation therapy, speech production is practised gradually by using melody and rhythm to progress from singing towards speech production. In addition to speech treatment, melodic intonation treatment has been used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation.
According to the researchers, singing-based group rehabilitation should be used in health-care as part of aphasia rehabilitation. “In addition to training in speech production group based rehabilitation provides an excellent opportunity for peer support both for the patients and their families,” says Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
12. Which aspect of aphasia caused by stroke is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Its classification. B. Its structure. C. Its impact. D. Its process.
13 What is the finding of the study conducted at the University of Helsinki
A. Speech treatment is more effective for aphasia.
B. Sound can help improve language function in stroke survivors.
C. Social activity has no impact on the recovery of stroke survivors.
D. Singing-based group rehabilitation can reduce caregivers’ stress.
14. What does the author say about using music in aphasia rehabilitation
A. Singing is an ineffective method. B. Music treatment has been widely used.
C. Singing elements can support recovery. D. Singing alone is the only form of treatment.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Singing-based Rehabilitation B. The Benefits of Group Interventions
C. Promoting Social Activity and Well-being D. The Role of Peer Support in Language Recovery

The wooden door creaked open, an elderly lady cautiously stepped into the grocery store. With trembling hands, she lifted some candy bars and a bottle of water from the shelf and shakily walked towards the checkout. “That would be $15, ma’am!” the cashier, Mr Andrews, who was also the store owner, said with a smile.
“$15 That’s too much. I don’t have that much money,” the elderly lady said, and her face was filled with disappointment. She reached into the depths of her faded purse and searched for the change, only to realize all she had was her last $5… “I’ll just have the bottle of water, please,” she sadly said as she extended the coins to the cashier, then leaving the Tstore and sitting onto the wooden bench outside.
It was half past five in the snowy evening as Mr Andrews stepped out of the store, ready to call it a day. His eyes fell upon the elderly lady, who was still sitting on the bench, all alone and shivering (颤抖). She had been sitting there for the past five hours, and at first, Mr Andrews ignored her the few times he vaguely (模糊地) looked out the glass wall of his store. He had assumed the old lady had just retired on the bench for some rest or was waiting for someone. But something bothered him when he approached her and noticed her tear-stained face.
“Is everything alright, ma’am I saw you have been sitting here since afternoon… It’s getting late and colder…Are you waiting for someone Is there something I can do to help you ” he asked.
The elderly lady looked up at Mr Andrews. Tears wouldn’t stop flowing from her eyes, which worried Mr Andrews even more. “Ma’am Are you alright Do you mind telling me why you’re crying ” he asked, his tone heavy with concern as he sat beside the old lady. The old lady snapped away her tears and said her name was Rose. A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she looked at Mr Andrews.
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。

It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!

Nasugraq Rainey Hopson is an author and illustrator (插图画家). She has written short stories and made art inspired by her I upiaq culture. The I upiaq people are native to Alaska, the US. Hopson’s first and only novel to date, Eagle Drums, is set in I upiaq tales about a great festival. The great festival is still celebrated locally today.
In the book, the hero Pina struggles with the suffering from losing his brothers, who have traveled to a nearby mountain and never returned. Pina decides to go to the same mountain, trying to uncover the facts, where he happens to meet Savik, who gives Pina a choice: To follow him or to meet the same fortune as his brothers. Pina’s decision takes himself on a journey that exposes himself to the dances and songs that are part of I upiaq culture. Eagle Drums describes aspects of I upiaq life as a world that doesn’t exist much in the current world, such as walking in the tundra (苔原) and imagining mythological beings and talking animals everywhere. It will definitely inspire the teen magical thinking in its beauty.
Hopson wants to write more I upiaq stories. “We have a lot of oral history and stories in our culture,” she says. Hopson explains that I upiaq people use their voices, facial expressions and movements to express emotions as they tell a story. “But you can’t do that when you’re writing,” she says. “It’s very uncomfortable, in a way, to have to write down something that is a performance.” But she’s up for the challenge.
Eagle Drums is for anyone who is looking for a vivid adventure. Hopson says that when I upiaq kids read her work, they get excited about seeing something from their own area and their own culture. Other kids who read her work tell Hopson they’re excited about experiencing a story they’ve never experienced before in a new place. “You know, that’s the best part, hearing feedbacks,” she says.
8. What do we know about Eagle Drums
A. It is based on the author’s culture. B. It is about a world-famous festival.
C. It is one of the author’s best novels. D. It is rich in illustrations on each page.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Eagle Drums
A. Its intention. B. Its background.
C. Its content. D. Its comment.
10. Why does Hopson think it uncomfortable to write I upiaq stories
A. The I upiaq people are poor performers
B. The I upiaq culture is too rich for words.
C. The I upiaq language is difficult to catch on.
D. The I upiaq stories are little known by people.
11. What is the text

C A diary entry. D. A book review.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Hopson创作的小说《鹰鼓》，包括其创作基础、大致内容、作者创作的感受，以及读者的评价。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She has written short stories and made art inspired by her I upiaq culture. (她写短篇小说，并受到伊诺皮亚克文化的启发进行艺术创作)”和“Hopson’s first and only novel to date, Eagle Drums, is set in I upiaq tales about a great festival. (Hopson迄今为止的第一部也是唯一一部小说《鹰鼓》以伊诺皮亚克一个盛大节日的传说为背景)”可知，《鹰鼓》这部小说是以作者的文化为基础创作的。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“In the book, the hero Pina struggles with the suffering from losing his brothers, who have traveled to a nearby mountain and never returned. Pina decides to go to the same mountain, trying to uncover the facts, where he happens to meet Savik, who gives Pina a choice: To follow him or to meet the same fortune as his brothers. Pina’s decision takes himself on a journey that exposes himself to the dances and songs that are part of I upiaq culture. (在书中，主人公Pina与失去兄弟们的痛苦作斗争，他们去了附近的一座山，再也没有回来。Pina决定去同一座山，试图揭开真相，在那里他碰巧遇到了Savik，他给了Pina一个选择：跟随他或遭遇和他的兄弟一样的命运。Pina的决定让自己踏上了一段旅程，让自己接触到伊诺皮亚克文化的舞蹈和歌曲)”可知，此处介绍了小说的主要情节。再结合“Eagle Drums describes aspects of I upiaq life as a world that doesn’t exist much in the current world, such as walking in the tundra (苔原) and imagining mythological beings and talking animals everywhere. (《鹰鼓》将伊诺皮亚克的生活描述为一个在当今世界不太存在的世界，比如在苔原上行走，想象神话中的生物，到处都是会说话的动物)”可知，此处介绍了小说呈现的独特世界。因此，本段主要介绍的是小说的内容。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hopson explains that I upiaq people use their voices, facial expressions and movements to express emotions as they tell a story. “But you can’t do that when you’re writing,” she says. “It’s very uncomfortable, in a way, to have to write down something that is a performance.” (Hopson解释说，伊诺皮亚克的人在讲故事时，会用他们的声音、面部表情和动作来表达情感。“但是当你写作的时候，你不能这样做，”她说。“从某种程度上说，不得不把一场表演写下来，这是非常不舒服的。”)”可知，伊诺皮亚克的故事往往是通过生动的声音和肢体语言来呈现的，但是写作的时候，语言很难把这样丰富的文化表现出来，所以Hopson会觉得不舒服。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，文章围绕Hopson创作的小说《鹰鼓》展开，主要从其创作基础、大致内容、作者创作的感受以及读者的评价四个方面介绍了这部小说。因此，文章应该是一篇书评。故选D项。
D
Language function and the psychosocial well-being of patients and their families can be promoted with singing-based rehabilitation (康复). Group intervention provides opportunities for peer support while being simultaneously cost-effective.
Approximately 40% of stroke (中风) survivors experience aphasia (失语症). a difficulty to understand or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular (脑血管的) accident. In half of these cases, the language damage still continues one-year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness.
According to a recent study conducted at the University of Helsinki, singing-based group rehabilitation can support communication and speech production of patients and increase social activity even at the long-lasting stage of stroke. The hard work experienced among the family caregivers participating in the study also decreased remarkably. “Our study is the first where caregivers participated in rehabilitation and their psychological well-being was evaluated.” says Postdoctoral Researcher Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
Previous research has established that the ability to sing can be left even in severe aphasia. “Our study used a wide variety of singing elements, such as singing by a group of singers, melodic intonation treatment and tablet-assisted singing training.” clarifies Doctoral Researcher Anni Pitkǎniemi.
In melodic intonation therapy, speech production is practised gradually by using melody and rhythm to progress from singing towards speech production. In addition to speech treatment, melodic intonation treatment has been used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation.
According to the researchers, singing-based group rehabilitation should be used in health-care as part of aphasia rehabilitation. “In addition to training in speech production group based rehabilitation provides an excellent opportunity for peer support both for the patients and their families,” says Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.
12. Which aspect of aphasia caused by stroke is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Its classification. B. Its structure. C. Its impact. D. Its process.
13. What is the finding of the study conducted at the University of Helsinki
A. Speech treatment is more effective for aphasia.
B. Sound can help improve language function in stroke survivors.
C. Social activity has no impact on the recovery of stroke survivors.
D. Singing-based group rehabilitation can reduce caregivers’ stress.
14. What does the author say about using music in aphasia rehabilitation
A. Singing is an ineffective method. B. Music treatment has been widely used.
C. Singing elements can support recovery. D. Singing alone is the only form of treatment.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Singing-based Rehabilitation B. The Benefits of Group Interventions
C. Promoting Social Activity and Well-being D. The Role of Peer Support in Language Recovery
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness.(大约40%的中风幸存者会出现失语症。由于脑血管事故而造成的理解或产生口语或书面语的困难。在其中一半的病例中，语言损伤在中风后一年仍在继续。失语症对中风幸存者的功能和生活质量有广泛的影响，并容易导致社交孤独)”可知，第2段主要讨论了中风引起的失语的影响。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是一幅中国水墨画成为美国Cell Press杂志的封面。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一幅中国水墨画成为美国Cell Press杂志的封面，画中一个农民牵着一头牛过桥，后面跟着一个背着竹篮的男孩。basket是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，bamboo是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【37题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：除了桥下河水里的水母和莲花外，图中还突出了化学元素。化学元素是被突出，且句子描述客观事实，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语elements是复数，因此空格处是are highlighted，故填are highlighted。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它生动地描述了一种特殊酶被激活的过程——这是中国科研团队的最新突破。空格处是“介词+which/whom”引导的定语从句，先行词process意为“过程”，因此空格处用which，故填which。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：本研究对了解相关生物过程发展的内部合成过程具有重要意义。be of great significance相当于形容词significant，意为“意义重大的”，因此空格处是介词of，故填of。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这幅图是位于中国西南部四川省成都市的一家科研可视化服务提供商的众多作品之一。is是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，provider和base之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填based。
【41题详解】
考查不定式。句意：“我们最初的目标是在人们的脑海中形成一幅抽象概念的画面，并帮助科学研究人员以独特的方式展示他们的发现，”该公司的创始人Wang Yixi说。goal意为“目标”，用不定式作表语，因此空格处是不定式to form，故填to form。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：“我们最初的目标是在人们的脑海中形成一幅抽象概念的画面，并帮助科学研究人员以独特的方式展示他们的发现，”该公司的创始人Wang Yixi说。Wang Yixi是一个人，因此空格处是“创始人”，是founder，且要用单数，故填founder。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：到去年为止，王和他的团队已经在各个领域为学术论文提供了数千幅视觉作品。由By the last year可知，句子时态用过去完成时，即had come，故填had come。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：一般来说，期刊封面上有插图的论文被认为是那期期刊中最有价值的。generally speaking是固定短语，意为“一般来说”，因此空格处是generally，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Generally。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他把自己的画作看作是一篇科学论文的封面，每一幅画都应该反映核心内容和发现，从而让人们更多地关注论文本身。considers是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，用现在分词表自然而然的结果，故填drawing。

47. 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 wooden door creaked open, an elderly lady cautiously stepped into the grocery store. With trembling hands, she lifted some candy bars and a bottle of water from the shelf and shakily walked towards the checkout. “That would be $15, ma’am!” the cashier, Mr Andrews, who was also the store owner, said with a smile.
“$15 That’s too much. I don’t have that much money,” the elderly lady said, and her face was filled with disappointment. She reached into the depths of her faded purse and searched for the change, only to realize all she had was her last $5… “I’ll just have the bottle of water, please,” she sadly said as she extended the coins to the cashier, then leaving the Tstore and sitting onto the wooden bench outside.
It was half past five in the snowy evening as Mr Andrews stepped out of the store, ready to call it a day. His eyes fell upon the elderly lady, who was still sitting on the bench, all alone and shivering (颤抖). She had been sitting there for the past five hours, and at first, Mr Andrews ignored her the few times he vaguely (模糊地) looked out the glass wall of his store. He had assumed the old lady had just retired on the bench for some rest or was waiting for someone. But something bothered him when he approached her and noticed her tear-stained face.
“Is everything alright, ma’am I saw you have been sitting here since afternoon… It’s getting late and colder…Are you waiting for someone Is there something I can do to help you ” he asked.
The elderly lady looked up at Mr Andrews. Tears wouldn’t stop flowing from her eyes, which worried Mr Andrews even more. “Ma’am Are you alright Do you mind telling me why you’re crying ” he asked, his tone heavy with concern as he sat beside the old lady. The old lady snapped away her tears and said her name was Rose. A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she looked at Mr Andrews.

【答案】参考范文：
Rose began to explain what she had gone through. She had been living alone since her husband had passed away years ago. Then one day, a homeless dog came to her house by chance, who nobody came to claim in the following days. Naturally, Rose adopted him out of compassion and they had been keeping each other company since then. However, one night, the dog ran outside and never back. The bond Rose shared with the dog was too much for her to accept their separation. Therefore, Rose hanged out every day in the hope of finding the dog. That day was one of her routines in search of her dog. Getting lost and running out of money, Rose was at a loss,
Hearing that, Mr Andrews was determined to join Rose in finding her beloved dog. “Allow me to help you, ma’ am!” Mr Andrews said. “I’ ll help you find your dog.” “Thank you, dear… Thank you!” Rose cried like a little girl. Mr Andrews took out a sign with the words “Closed For 2 Days!” and hanged it on the front door of his store. He made a poster according to Rose’s description about her dog and attached it in the front of his car. They drove around the city for almost two days when finally good news came that her dog was sheltered by a kind family. Rose was more than appreciative for all those kind gestures.
