二、语言知识及运用 (共15小题, 共三节, 满分70分)
第一节 语法选择 (共15 小题, 每小题1分, 满分15分)
When you’re leaning 11 new language, there are a lot of things to remember: spelling rules, grammar rules, punctuation rules ...the list is endless. But there’s 12 that can help you: mnemonics (助记符号).
Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things. There are a variety of them, 13 rhymes, spelling acronyms (首字母缩略词) and sentence mnemonics.
Rhymes are a great way 14 things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America There’s a thyme to help you which goes like this, “ 15 fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people 16 that since they 17 young and never forget it!
Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence 18 on the letters of a target word. For example, the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word “because”, “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”. Notice how the 19 letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word “because”. This one 20 to remind you to include the “h” in the word “which”, “Which house is Cath’s house ” To spell Mississippi, a rhythm mnemonic is combined with a spelling one: “miss iss ippi”. And 21 you can’t remember the spelling of the word “mnemonics”, use this one “Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he is sick.”
Sentence mnemonics are also 22 . The following can help you with the difference between the words “principal” and “principle”, “A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between “deserts” (such as the Sahara) and “desserts” (such as Tiramisu), “A dessert has two sugars so it’s 23 but a desert only has one.” The two “sugars” mentioned in the sentence refer to the two s’s in the word “dessert”. Or this one to clear up the confusion between “stationery” and “stationary”, “The car is stationary. An envelope is stationery”.
You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too. For example, this one 24 help you with the position of adjectives, “Adjectives come before nouns just as ’A’ comes before ‘N’.” And this one can help you learn about the use of apostrophes (撇号), “Apostrophes show possession (拥有).”
Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not 25 inventing a few of your own!

三、阅读理解 (共20小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
One plus one equals two. There are 60 seconds in one minute Sixty minutes equals one hour. There are 24 hours in one day. One year includes 365 days. These are all basic facts that we know by heart. But have you ever stopped to think how numbers came into being and how they developed
It’s safe to say that our society would have never developed without numbers. However, the development of numbers is still a puzzle to us. That’s because when ancient people developed simple ways of counting, they didn’t leave any records behind.
It’s not difficult to guess that numbers and counting began with the number “1”, though ancient people probably didn’t call it “one.” They likely counted by ones and recorded by carving lines on a bone.
The earliest evidence of this is the Ishango Bone (伊尚戈骨), which was found in 1960 in Africa. The bone is believed to be more than 20,000 years old. It has many lines on it. The lines look like what we would call “tally marks” today. Scientists think those lines show how ancient people used numbers.
36. According to the article, we still don’t know ________.
A. the basic facts of numbers B. where numbers come from
C. how to count with numbers D. the importance of numbers
37. Why is the development of numbers a puzzle
A. Because people today are not smart enough to find it out.
B. Because people today can’t find any records of ancient ways of counting.
C. Because ancient people forgot to leave any records of their ways of counting.
D. Because ancient people didn’t record their ways of counting at all.
38. Where was the Ishango Bone found
A. In China. B. In Africa C. In Egypt D. In India
39. Which picture best stands for the phrase “tally marks” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. B. C. D.
40. Which of the following statements is true according to the article
A. The Inshango Bone was found 20,000 years ago.
B. There are many numbers on the Inshango Bone.
C. Numbers are important to a society’s development.
D. Ancient people carved lines on the stones as a way of counting.
B
A study in September has added excitement in the brain science area. In the study, volunteers had electrical stimulation (刺激) in their brains. The study found their memory and problem-solving abilities got better for at least a month. The stimulation was painless and could lead to future treatments (治疗) for memory. It can even help students with their future exams.
Volunteers in the study did better in both remembering words and working out memory-based problems. In the test, they wore a cap and it was connected to electrical currents (电流). Wearing the cap twenty minutes a day was enough to help people remember words better. The volunteers could retell more words a month later.
Working memory is connected to problem-solving and decision-making abilities. Low frequency (频率) stimulation of the brain can help boost working memory. For example, volunteers also did better in taking notes after the stimulation.
The brain training industries are worth millions of dollars. Players are interested in improving their abilities by doing memory exercises. The future is wide open if it is tested to be successful and safe in treatments.
41. According to Paragraph 2, who is likely to take the electrical shocks
A. A man who wants to remember everything. B. A boy who wants to get higher marks.
C. A woman who loves wearing caps. D. A girl who can solve problems quickly.
42. What did the volunteers do in the tests
A. They remembered the number of the words. B. They needed to retell the words after a month.
C. They got 30 minutes of electrical stimulation a day. D. They wore a cap that can help them with their exams.
43. What does the underlined word “boost” mean in the passage
A. make...weaker B. make...worse C. make...harder D. make...better
44. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs
A. The future of electrical stimulation is quite bright.
B. Lots of players show interest in brain training industries
C. Low frequency stimulation didn’t work on the volunteers.
D. The volunteers tested their working memory by taking notes.
45. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Working memory gets better when wearing caps.
B. Brain training industries spent millions of dollars.
C. The electrical stimulation helps people in memory.
D. All Students want electrical stimulation for exams.
C
What do you do when you need to look something up Go to the library Open an encyclopaedia Click on to the internet These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia. But how reliable (可靠) is it
There’s no denying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia. It attracts 78 million visitors every month, and the site is available (可用的) in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most comprehensive (综合的) resources available, and it’s got much more information than an ordinary, encyclopaedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add a new page. And you don’t need any formal training.
Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators (管理员) who check for false information. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, it’s also open to “vandals” (故意破坏公物的人).
Some of the damage is easy to notice. One prankster (恶作剧者) drew devil horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gate’s photo, while another edited Greek philosopher Plato’s biography to say he was a “Hawaiian weather man”.
But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Some of this misinformation has even appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim (牺牲者) to the pranks. For example, in an introduction for British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime hit “There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. He did no such thing. And in another article, it was reported that TV theme tune composer Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the song “Reach”. Once again, not true.
So, if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.
46. If you want to look something up on Wikipedia, you will find ________.
A. it is only available in English B. it has little useful information
C. you can only get the information online D. you need to go to a library to use it
47. According to the article, what is NOT an advantage enjoyed by Wikipedia over that of an ordinary encyclopaedia
A. It is available online in many different languages.
B. It may contain more false information than an ordinary encyclopaedia.
C. It has a team of administrators to check for false information.
D. It’s content can be updated every day.
48. The examples of the pranks are cited (引用) to ________.
A. let you know that false information is inevitable on the site
B. urge Wikipedia to set stricter controls over its contents
C. criticize the right that the public has to edit the contents on the site
D. demonstrate the downsides of public editing allowed by Wikipedia
49. It can be learned from the article that ________.
A. pranksters aren’t likely to edit the information about famous people
B. some mainstream newspapers also refer to the false information from Wikipedia
C. the public is not allowed by Wikipedia to edit the information about famous people
D. the Wikipedia administrators don’t work hard enough to check for false information on the site
50. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. We should not use Wikipedia.
B. The information from Wikipedia is not reliable.
C. We should not trust the information from Wikipedia.
D. We should make sure the information from Wikipedia is correct before deciding to use it.

Hello, everyone! We had an English Week in our school last month. I think our school life is interesting and attractive.
All the students and our English teachers took part in it. There were a lot of activities, such as singing English songs, watching English movies, putting on English short plays and a handwriting competition.
I took part in the handwriting competition. I wrote very carefully and luckily I got the first prize. It reminded me that it was very important to write well. What’s more, I participated in the English art show. This was my first time to act in public. I was very nervous. However, with the encouragement from the audiences, I successfully finished my task. From the activity, I deeply understood the charm of English and the importance of learning English. I think it is a good way to learn English.

When you’re leaning 11 new language, there are a lot of things to remember: spelling rules, grammar rules, punctuation rules ...the list is endless. But there’s 12 that can help you: mnemonics (助记符号).
Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things. There are a variety of them, 13 rhymes, spelling acronyms (首字母缩略词) and sentence mnemonics.
Rhymes are a great way 14 things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America There’s a thyme to help you which goes like this, “ 15 fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people 16 that since they 17 young and never forget it!
Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence 18 on the letters of a target word. For example, the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word “because”, “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”. Notice how the 19 letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word “because”. This one 20 to remind you to include the “h” in the word “which”, “Which house is Cath’s house ” To spell Mississippi, a rhythm mnemonic is combined with a spelling one: “miss iss ippi”. And 21 you can’t remember the spelling of the word “mnemonics”, use this one “Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he is sick.”
Sentence mnemonics are also 22 . The following can help you with the difference between the words “principal” and “principle”, “A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between “deserts” (such as the Sahara) and “desserts” (such as Tiramisu), “A dessert has two sugars so it’s 23 but a desert only has one.” The two “sugars” mentioned in the sentence refer to the two s’s in the word “dessert”. Or this one to clear up the confusion between “stationery” and “stationary”, “The car is stationary. An envelope is stationery”.
You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too. For example, this one 24 help you with the position of adjectives, “Adjectives come before nouns just as ’A’ comes before ‘N’.” And this one can help you learn about the use of apostrophes (撇号), “Apostrophes show possession (拥有).”
Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not 25 inventing a few of your own!

三、阅读理解 (共20小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
One plus one equals two. There are 60 seconds in one minute Sixty minutes equals one hour. There are 24 hours in one day. One year includes 365 days. These are all basic facts that we know by heart. But have you ever stopped to think how numbers came into being and how they developed
It’s safe to say that our society would have never developed without numbers. However, the development of numbers is still a puzzle to us. That’s because when ancient people developed simple ways of counting, they didn’t leave any records behind.
It’s not difficult to guess that numbers and counting began with the number “1”, though ancient people probably didn’t call it “one.” They likely counted by ones and recorded by carving lines on a bone.
The earliest evidence of this is the Ishango Bone (伊尚戈骨), which was found in 1960 in Africa. The bone is believed to be more than 20,000 years old. It has many lines on it. The lines look like what we would call “tally marks” today. Scientists think those lines show how ancient people used numbers.
36. According to the article, we still don’t know ________.
A. the basic facts of numbers B. where numbers come from
C. how to count with numbers D. the importance of numbers
37. Why is the development of numbers a puzzle
A. Because people today are not smart enough to find it out.
B. Because people today can’t find any records of ancient ways of counting.
C. Because ancient people forgot to leave any records of their ways of counting.
D. Because ancient people didn’t record their ways of counting at all.
38. Where was the Ishango Bone found
A. In China. B. In Africa C. In Egypt D. In India
39. Which picture best stands for the phrase “tally marks” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. B. C. D.
40. Which of the following statements is true according to the article
A. The Inshango Bone was found 20,000 years ago.
B. There are many numbers on the Inshango Bone.
C. Numbers are important to a society’s development.
D. Ancient people carved lines on the stones as a way of counting.

A study in September has added excitement in the brain science area. In the study, volunteers had electrical stimulation (刺激) in their brains. The study found their memory and problem-solving abilities got better for at least a month. The stimulation was painless and could lead to future treatments (治疗) for memory. It can even help students with their future exams.
Volunteers in the study did better in both remembering words and working out memory-based problems. In the test, they wore a cap and it was connected to electrical currents (电流). Wearing the cap twenty minutes a day was enough to help people remember words better. The volunteers could retell more words a month later.
Working memory is connected to problem-solving and decision-making abilities. Low frequency (频率) stimulation of the brain can help boost working memory. For example, volunteers also did better in taking notes after the stimulation.
The brain training industries are worth millions of dollars. Players are interested in improving their abilities by doing memory exercises. The future is wide open if it is tested to be successful and safe in treatments.
41. According to Paragraph 2, who is likely to take the electrical shocks
A. A man who wants to remember everything. B. A boy who wants to get higher marks.
C. A woman who loves wearing caps. D. A girl who can solve problems quickly.
42. What did the volunteers do in the tests

43. What does the underlined word “boost” mean in the passage
A. make...weaker B. make...worse C. make...harder D. make...better
44. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs
A. The future of electrical stimulation is quite bright.
B. Lots of players show interest in brain training industries
C. Low frequency stimulation didn’t work on the volunteers.
D. The volunteers tested their working memory by taking notes.
45. What is the main idea of this passage

What do you do when you need to look something up Go to the library Open an encyclopaedia Click on to the internet These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia. But how reliable (可靠) is it
There’s no denying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia. It attracts 78 million visitors every month, and the site is available (可用的) in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most comprehensive (综合的) resources available, and it’s got much more information than an ordinary, encyclopaedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add a new page. And you don’t need any formal training.
Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators (管理员) who check for false information. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, it’s also open to “vandals” (故意破坏公物的人).
Some of the damage is easy to notice. One prankster (恶作剧者) drew devil horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gate’s photo, while another edited Greek philosopher Plato’s biography to say he was a “Hawaiian weather man”.
But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Some of this misinformation has even appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim (牺牲者) to the pranks. For example, in an introduction for British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime hit “There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. He did no such thing. And in another article, it was reported that TV theme tune composer Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the song “Reach”. Once again, not true.
So, if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.
46. If you want to look something up on Wikipedia, you will find ________.
A. it is only available in English B. it has little useful information
C. you can only get the information online D. you need to go to a library to use it
47. According to the article, what is NOT an advantage enjoyed by Wikipedia over that of an ordinary encyclopaedia
A. It is available online in many different languages.
B. It may contain more false information than an ordinary encyclopaedia.
C. It has a team of administrators to check for false information.
D. It’s content can be updated every day.
48. The examples of the pranks are cited (引用) to ________.
A. let you know that false information is inevitable on the site
B. urge Wikipedia to set stricter controls over its contents
C. criticize the right that the public has to edit the contents on the site
D. demonstrate the downsides of public editing allowed by Wikipedia
49. It can be learned from the article that ________.
A. pranksters aren’t likely to edit the information about famous people
B. some mainstream newspapers also refer to the false information from Wikipedia
C. the public is not allowed by Wikipedia to edit the information about famous people
D. the Wikipedia administrators don’t work hard enough to check for false information on the site
50. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. We should not use Wikipedia.
B. The information from Wikipedia is not reliable.
C. We should not trust the information from Wikipedia.
D. We should make sure the information from Wikipedia is correct before deciding to use it.

Hello, everyone! We had an English Week in our school last month. I think our school life is interesting and attractive.
All the students and our English teachers took part in it. There were a lot of activities, such as singing English songs, watching English movies, putting on English short plays and a handwriting competition.
I took part in the handwriting competition. I wrote very carefully and luckily I got the first prize. It reminded me that it was very important to write well. What’s more, I participated in the English art show. This was my first time to act in public. I was very nervous. However, with the encouragement from the audiences, I successfully finished my task. From the activity, I deeply understood the charm of English and the importance of learning English. I think it is a good way to learn English.
