A Room of One’s Own
This essay by English writer Virginia Woolf is based on several lectures given to two women’s colleges at Cambridge University in 1928. In the essay, Woolf describes that it’s circumstance not talent alone, that allows men to be more successful at writing. Women, in other words, spend so much time cooking, cleaning, and tending to their children that they have no time left for art. To write well, therefore, a woman must have a “room of her own”. While on its surface, this essay appears to be only about writing, it is actually about wealth and class, freedom and confinement, and the power struggle between sexes.
The Art of War

Consisting of 13 chapters, each dealing with a separate aspect about how to fight a war, the book has been translated into every major language and has thousands of editions. For centuries, it has been used to train world leaders for its detailed study of military strategies and effective leadership.

Maggie, a girl of thirteen years old, lived on the west coast of the United States. She had never experienced an earthquake before; she only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was common at her school. Her family had made plans as well in case of a natural disaster.
One day, Maggie arrived home from school at the usual time. However, it was not the same as usual. She was home alone. Her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway and her dad was to arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
After finishing her homework, Maggie felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat: Just then she felt a shake, then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing of many things were deafening, and Maggie hugged herself in fear.
After what seemed like a very long time the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. And there was the smell of natural gas in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was and how to turn it off. Dad had ever shown her before.
Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was then almost unrecognizable. Walls had fallen down and many things in the room were in a mess. As Maggie approached the open basement door, she could see the steps. Carefully she made her way down into the dark basement.
While placing her feet firmly on the floor, Maggie felt a sudden pain as a large wood hit her head and shoulder. She fell unconscious onto a pile of boxes. An hour later, she woke up and found her parents beside her. She was happy that she was still alive!

The cultivation of plants by ants is more widespread than previously realized, and has evolved on at least 15 separate occasions.
There are more than 200 species of ant in the Americas that farm fungi (真菌) for food, but this trait evolved just once sometime between 45 million and 65 million years ago. Biologists regard the cultivation of fungi by ants as true agriculture appearing earlier than human agriculture because it meets four criteria: the ants plant the fungus, care for it, harvest it and depend on it for food.
By contrast, while thousands of ant species are known to have a wide variety of interdependent relationships with plants, none were regarded as true agriculture. But in 2016, Guillaume Chomicki and Susanne Renner at the University of Munich, Germany, discovered that an ant in Fungi cultivates several plants in a way that meets the four criteria for true agriculture.
The ants collect the seeds of the plants and place them in cracks in the bark of trees. As the plants grow they form hollow structures called domain that the ants nest in. The ants defecate (排便) at designated absorptive places in these domain, providing nutrients for the plant. In return, as well as shelter, the plant provides food in the form of fruit juice.
This discovery prompted Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships to see if there are other examples of plant cultivation that have been overlooked. “They have never really been looked at in the framework of agriculture,” says Chomicki, who is now at the University of Sheffield in the UK. “It’s definitely widespread.”
The team identified 37 examples of tree-living ants that cultivate plants that grow on trees, known as epiphytes (附生植物). By looking at the family trees of the ant species, the team was able to determine on how many occasions plant cultivation evolved and roughly when. Fifteen is a conservative estimate, says Campbell. All the systems evolved relatively recently, around 1million to 3 million years ago, she says.
Whether the 37 examples of plant cultivation identified by the team count as true agriculture depends on the definitions used. Not all of the species get food from the plants, but they do rely on them for shelter, which is crucial for ants living in trees, says Campbell. So the team thinks the definition of true agriculture should include shelter as well as food.
8. According to biologists, why is ant-fungus cultivation considered as a form of true agriculture
A. Because it occurred earlier than human agriculture.
B. Because it fulfills the standards typical of agricultural practices.
C. Because it redefines the four criteria for true human agriculture.
D. Because it is less common than previously thought.
9. What motivated Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships
A. They determined on new family trees of the ant species.
B. They overlooked some tree-living ants that provided nutrients for the plants.
C. They never studied the ant-plant relationships within the context of agriculture.
D. They never identified any an t species that engaged in cultivation of fungi.
10. Which of the following statements is supported by the team's findings according to the passage
A. Ants’ cultivation of plants is limited to a few specific species.
B. The cultivation of fungi by ants is considered the earliest form of agriculture.
C. True agriculture in ants involves only food-related interactions with plants.
D. Ants have independently cultivated plants on at least 15 distinct occasions.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. The evolution of ants in the plant kingdom.
B. The widespread occurrence of ant-plant cultivation.
C. The discovery of a new ant species engaging in agriculture.
D. The contrast between ant agriculture and human agriculture.
D
Adults are often embarrassed about asking for help. Its an act that can make people feel sensitive. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal (泄露) that you may be lost. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.
To learn more about how children think about seeking help, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.
Children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. They could still conceive of (想象) situations in which the kid who wanted to seem smart would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
We also found that they recognize several more behaviors that might make a child appear less smart in front of fellow kids, such as admitting to failure or modestly downplaying successes. Children are therefore acutely aware of several ways in which a person’s actions might make them appear less clever in the eyes of others.
However, a number of solutions can be found to help children. Our Gist instinct may be to motivate seeking help by emphasizing its educational benefits. But reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. For example, instructors could create activities in which each student becomes an “expert” on a different topic, and then children must ask one another for help to master all of die material. If seeking help is understood as a commonplace classroom activity, kids may be less likely to think of it as indicative (表明) of one’s ability.
Seeking help could even be framed as socially desirable. After all, asking for help often benefits not just die help seeker but also others listening in who have similar questions or struggles.
12. What feature do the adults and young children share
A. They seldom ask for directions.
B. They are afraid of being laughed at.
C. They hesitate to seek assistance.
D. They regard themselves as incompetence.
13. What conclusion can be drawn from the research
A. Teachers should praise kids for seeking assistance.
B. Assistance only works when sought privately,
C. It seems possible that children themselves are not struggling.
D. Children care deeply about the way others think about them.
14. How does the author explain the solution in Paragraph 5
A. By making a comparison. B. By referring to an example.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By telling a school story.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why Kids Are Afraid to Ask for Help.
B. Seeking Help Makes Kids Feel Uncomfortable.
C. Unwillingness to Seek Help Stop Academic Progress.
D. How Can We Help Children Overcome the Barrier,

He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn’t know why he was home instead of Mom but I was young and the only one of my friends who had their dad around. I considered myself very lucky.
Dad did so many things for me during my grade school years. He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at my house instead of the usual bus stop that was six blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
As I got a little older, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he wasn’t going to give up. In high school and no longer able to go home for lunch, I began taking my own. Dad would get up a little earlier and make it for me. The outside of the sack might be covered with a heart inscribed with “Dad-n-Angie K. K.”. Inside there would be a napkin (餐巾纸) with that same heart or an “I love you.”
I used to hide my lunch so no one would see the bag or read the napkin but that didn’t last long. One of my friends saw the napkin one day, grabbed it, and passed it around the lunch room. My face burned with embarrassment. To my astonishment, the next day all my friends were waiting to see the napkin. From the way they acted, I thought they all wished they had someone who showed them that kind of love. I felt so proud!
When I left home for college, I thought the messages would stop. But my friends and I were glad that his gestures continued. I began getting letters almost every Friday. The front-desk staff always knew who the letters were from. Many times the envelopes were addressed in crayon, and along with the enclosed letters were usually drawings of our cat and dog, stick figures of him and Mom.

The ants defecate (排便) at designated absorptive places in these domain, providing nutrients for the plant. In return, as well as shelter, the plant provides food in the form of fruit juice.
This discovery prompted Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships to see if there are other examples of plant cultivation that have been overlooked. “They have never really been looked at in the framework of agriculture,” says Chomicki, who is now at the University of Sheffield in the UK. “It’s definitely widespread.”
The team identified 37 examples of tree-living ants that cultivate plants that grow on trees, known as epiphytes (附生植物). By looking at the family trees of the ant species, the team was able to determine on how many occasions plant cultivation evolved and roughly when. Fifteen is a conservative estimate, says Campbell. All the systems evolved relatively recently, around 1million to 3 million years ago, she says.
Whether the 37 examples of plant cultivation identified by the team count as true agriculture depends on the definitions used. Not all of the species get food from the plants, but they do rely on them for shelter, which is crucial for ants living in trees, says Campbell. So the team thinks the definition of true agriculture should include shelter as well as food.
8. According to biologists, why is ant-fungus cultivation considered as a form of true agriculture
A. Because it occurred earlier than human agriculture.
B. Because it fulfills the standards typical of agricultural practices.
C. Because it redefines the four criteria for true human agriculture.
D. Because it is less common than previously thought.
9. What motivated Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships
A. They determined on new family trees of the ant species.
B. They overlooked some tree-living ants that provided nutrients for the plants.
C. They never studied the ant-plant relationships within the context of agriculture.
D. They never identified any an t species that engaged in cultivation of fungi.
10. Which of the following statements is supported by the team's findings according to the passage
A. Ants’ cultivation of plants is limited to a few specific species.
B. The cultivation of fungi by ants is considered the earliest form of agriculture.
C. True agriculture in ants involves only food-related interactions with plants.
D. Ants have independently cultivated plants on at least 15 distinct occasions.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. The evolution of ants in the plant kingdom.
B. The widespread occurrence of ant-plant cultivation.
C. The discovery of a new ant species engaging in agriculture.
D. The contrast between ant agriculture and human agriculture.
【答案】8 B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了蚂蚁种植植物的行为比我们想象的要广泛。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Biologists regard the cultivation of fungi by ants as true agriculture appearing earlier than human agriculture because it meets four criteria: the ants plant the fungus, care for it, harvest it and depend on it for food.(生物学家认为蚂蚁培育真菌是比人类农业出现得更早的真正农业,因为它符合四个标准:蚂蚁种植真菌,照顾真菌,收获真菌并依赖它作为食物。)”可知,生物学家认为蚂蚁培育真菌被认为是一种真正的农业形式,因为它符合四个标准:蚂蚁种植真菌,照顾真菌,收获真菌并依赖它作为食物,这四个标准是农业的实践标准,即蚂蚁培育真菌符合典型的农业实践标准。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But in 2016, Guillaume Chomicki and Susanne Renner at the University of Munich, Germany, discovered that an ant in Fungi cultivates several plants in a way that meets the four criteria for true agriculture.( 但在2016年,德国慕尼黑大学的(Guillaume ChomickiSusanne Renner发现,真菌中的一只蚂蚁以一种符合真正农业的四个标准的方式培育了几种植物)”和第五段中“This discovery prompted Chomicki and others to review the literature on ant-plant relationships to see if there are other examples of plant cultivation that have been overlooked. “They have never really been looked at in the framework of agriculture,” says Chomicki(这一发现促使Chomicki和其他人回顾蚂蚁—植物关系的文献,看看是否还有其他植物栽培的例子被忽视。“它们从来没有真正在农业的框架内被看待,”Chomicki 说)”可知,这一发现指的是真菌中的一只蚂蚁以一种符合真正农业的四个标准的方式培育了几种植物,蚂蚁—植物关系以前从未真正在农业的框架内被看待,而这一发现是首次在农业的框架内看待蚂蚁—植物的关系,它促使了Chomicki和其他人回顾蚂蚁—植物关系的文献,由此可推知,蚂蚁—植物关系以前从未真正在农业的框架内被看待,这促使Chomicki和其他人回顾蚂蚁—植物关系的文献,故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The cultivation of plants by ants is more widespread than previously realized, and has evolved on at least 15 separate occasions.(蚂蚁种植植物的情况比以前认识到的更为广泛,至少已经发生了15次不同的进化。)”和倒数第二段中“By looking at the family trees of the ant species, the team was able to determine on how many occasions plant cultivation evolved and roughly when. Fifteen is a conservative estimate, says Campbell. (通过观察蚂蚁种类的族谱,研究小组能够确定植物栽培演化的次数和大致时间。坎贝尔表示,十五是一个保守的估计。)”可知,蚂蚁在至少15个不同的场合独立培育植物。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“The cultivation of plants by ants is more widespread than previously realized, and has evolved on at least 15 separate occasions.(蚂蚁种植植物的情况比以前认识到的更为广泛,至少已经发生了15次不同的进化。)”可知,文章主要介绍了蚂蚁种植植物的行为比我们想象的要广泛,B项“蚂蚁栽培的广泛发生。”适合做文章标题,故选B。
D
Adults are often embarrassed about asking for help. Its an act that can make people feel sensitive. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal (泄露) that you may be lost. Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.
To learn more about how children think about seeking help, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.
Children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. They could still conceive of (想象) situations in which the kid who wanted to seem smart would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
We also found that they recognize several more behaviors that might make a child appear less smart in front of fellow kids, such as admitting to failure or modestly downplaying successes. Children are therefore acutely aware of several ways in which a person’s actions might make them appear less clever in the eyes of others.
However, a number of solutions can be found to help children. Our Gist instinct may be to motivate seeking help by emphasizing its educational benefits. But reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. For example, instructors could create activities in which each student becomes an “expert” on a different topic, and then children must ask one another for help to master all of die material. If seeking help is understood as a commonplace classroom activity, kids may be less likely to think of it as indicative (表明) of one’s ability.
Seeking help could even be framed as socially desirable. After all, asking for help often benefits not just die help seeker but also others listening in who have similar questions or struggles.
12. What feature do the adults and young children share
A. They seldom ask for directions.
B. They are afraid of being laughed at.
C. They hesitate to seek assistance.
D. They regard themselves as incompetence.
13. What conclusion can be drawn from the research
A. Teachers should praise kids for seeking assistance.
B. Assistance only works when sought privately,
C. It seems possible that children themselves are not struggling.
D. Children care deeply about the way others think about them.
14. How does the author explain the solution in Paragraph 5
A. By making a comparison. B. By referring to an example.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By telling a school story.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Why Kids Are Afraid to Ask for Help.
B. Seeking Help Makes Kids Feel Uncomfortable.
C. Unwillingness to Seek Help Stop Academic Progress.
D. How Can We Help Children Overcome the Barrier,
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了孩子害怕寻求帮助原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Seeking someone’s assistance can make you feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.”(寻求他人的帮助会让你觉得自己在宣扬自己的无能。新的研究表明,出于同样的原因,年幼的孩子在学校里也不会寻求帮助,即使他们需要帮助。)可知,孩子和成人一样都害怕寻求帮助,故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“We also found that they recognize several more behaviors that might make a child appear less smart in front of fellow kids, such as admitting to failure or modestly downplaying successes.Children are therefore acutely aware of several ways in which a person’s actions might make them appear less clever in the eyes of others.”(我们还发现,他们意识到更多的行为可能会让孩子在其他孩子面前显得不那么聪明,比如承认失败或谦虚地淡化成功。因此,孩子们敏锐地意识到,一个人的行为可能会在很多方面让自己在别人眼中显得不那么聪明。)可知,孩子们非常在意别人对他们的看法,故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“For example, instructors could create activities in which each student becomes an “expert” on a different topic, and then children must ask one another for help to master all of die material.”(例如,教师可以创建活动,让每个学生成为不同主题的“专家”,然后孩子们必须相互寻求帮助,以掌握所有的材料。)可知,第五段是通过举例子来解释解决方案的,故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段中“New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.”(新的研究表明,出于同样的原因,年幼的孩子在学校里也不会寻求帮助,即使他们需要帮助。)和第二段中“To learn more about how children think about seeking help, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story.”(为了更多地了解儿童对寻求帮助的想法,我们询问了576名年龄在4到9岁之间的儿童,让他们预测一个故事中两个孩子的行为。)可知,本文主要介绍了孩子害怕寻求帮助的原因,故选A。

【分析】本文为议论文,首先提出两个关于水的不同观点:饮水能改善健康状况与记忆;饮水并不等同于健康,水合作用是体内电解质与水的平衡。然后从四方面对后者展开论证。
【16题详解】
根据空前“how much water do you need to drink ”引出本段话题:你需要喝多少水。然后提出许多人对此的看法,并被专家否定了。后面对比不同人的需水量,说明了体重及其进行的活动不同,需水量不同,故选D项。
【17题详解】
从空后“heart condition”“ kidney stones”(肾结石)“ A person taking diuretic drugs(利尿药)”“ vomiting or diarrhea”(呕吐或腹泻)可看出,该段主要在说需水量与个人身体健康状况有关,此空为该段主旨句,故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据空后“You also get water from what you eat.”该句表明人们可以从吃的事物中获取水,其中“also”,说明前面已经提出了一个人体中水的来源,G项“any drink can add water to your system.”符合要求,且与第一句“Water is a better choice than sugary sodas or fruit juices.”连贯,“any drink”与“sugary sodas or fruit juices”对应,故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据空前“Your body will tell you if you are hydrated enough.”(你的身体会告诉你体内的水是否充足。)“You don't have to think about it or add up the ounces you drink.”(你不必思考这个问题也不必增加喝水量。)你口渴的时候就是身体在给你信号,所以你在这个时候喝水就可以了,不必专门去考虑体内的水是否充足,A项符合,故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空后“add electrolytes to stay healthy”表明电解质有利健康,说明电解质在人体内有重要作用,B项符合,“They”对应“Electrolytes”,“vital”对应“essential”,故选B项。

【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:他偷偷地擦去脸上的眼泪,好像他没有受到失败的影响。分析句子可知,此处为as if引导的方式状语从句,结合句意可知,“他悄悄擦掉眼泪,好像没有受到失败的影响”的言下之意是“他受到了失败的影响”,所以为虚拟语气,结合主句动词wiped可知,此处为对过去事实相反的虚拟语气,与为过去完成时;主语he与affect为被动关系,且本句含否定意义,故填hadn’t been affected。

第三部分 写作
第一节(满分25分)
61. 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。
He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn’t know why he was home instead of Mom, but I was young and the only one of my friends who had their dad around. I considered myself very lucky.
Dad did so many things for me during my grade school years. He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at my house instead of the usual bus stop that was six blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
As I got a little older, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he wasn’t going to give up. In high school and no longer able to go home for lunch, I began taking my own. Dad would get up a little earlier and make it for me. The outside of the sack might be covered with a heart inscribed with “Dad-n-Angie K. K.”. Inside there would be a napkin (餐巾纸) with that same heart or an “I love you.”
I used to hide my lunch so no one would see the bag or read the napkin, but that didn’t last long. One of my friends saw the napkin one day, grabbed it, and passed it around the lunch room. My face burned with embarrassment. To my astonishment, the next day all my friends were waiting to see the napkin. From the way they acted, I thought they all wished they had someone who showed them that kind of love. I felt so proud!
When I left home for college, I thought the messages would stop. But my friends and I were glad that his gestures continued. I began getting letters almost every Friday. The front-desk staff always knew who the letters were from. Many times the envelopes were addressed in crayon, and along with the enclosed letters were usually drawings of our cat and dog, stick figures of him and Mom.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Then the time came when I decided to come home because he was growing sicker.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It was during this time that Dad became stricken with cancer. When the letters didn’t come on Friday, I knew that he had been sick and wasn’t able to write. He used to get up at 4:00 a.m. So he could sit in the quiet house and do his letters. If he missed his Friday delivery, the letters would usually come a day or two later. But they always came. My friends used to call him “Coolest Dad in the Universe”.
Then the time came when I decided to come home because he was growing sicker. And I knew that our time together was limited. Those were the hardest days to go through. To watch this man, who always acted so young, age passed his years. In the end he didn’t recognize who I was. Even though I knew it was due to his illness, it still hurt that he couldn’t remember my name. I was alone with him in his hospital room a couple of days before he died. We held hands and watched TV. As I was getting ready to leave, he said,“Angie, I love you.”
