18. How many choices did the bees have in the experiment
A. One. B. Two. C. Three.

A. Bees are more thoughtful.
B. Bees are more hardworking.
C. Bees are hard to get along with.
【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Everyone knows that bees are busy. There is even a saying in English that one can be “as busy as a bee”. However, little is known about how bees play. Scientists have discovered one way that bees could relax after a busy day making honey—they play with balls. The scientists are from Queen Mary University of London. They did different tests on bees “playing” with different things. The insects particularly liked playing with small, wooden balls. The researchers said the way bees played was a little like how humans play. Younger bees rolled more balls than older bees, while adult males spent longer playing with balls than adult females. The ball-rolling bees are the first known insects to “play”. The researchers experimented on 45 bees in a specially designed test area. The bees were given two options. The first choice was to fly or walk directly to get a sugary treat. The second choice was to get to the treat by going around different coloured wooden balls. Most of the bees decided to play with the balls and then get their treat. A researcher said the experiments showed that bees are more thoughtful than people believed. She said: “Bees are a million miles from the mindless, unfeeling creatures they are traditionally believed to be.” She added that: “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complex than we might imagine.”

Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China’s busy capital city. Within its lively watercolors, traditional hutong, the grand Summer Palace, and the contemporary charm of Beijing’s Sanlitun and 798Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova, more famously known as Liuba Draws.
Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years, when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing. Since then, her affection for the city has been undeniable.
Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear (直线的). Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.
In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.
Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture.
24. What do the underlined words “commenced with” mean in paragraph 2
A. Improved. B. Began. C. Resisted. D. Assessed.
25. What do we know about Vladimirova from paragraph 3
A. She gave up her dream. B. She won many art prizes several years ago.
C. She was hardworking over her childhood. D. She delayed her artistic career.
26. Why does the author mention hutong
A. To praise Beijing’s architecture. B. To show the inspiration of Vladimirova’s art making.
C. To state the main contents of an art book. D. To advise tourists to visit Beijing.
27. Which statement best summarizes Vladimirova’s success
A. Curiosity works wonders. B. Hard work pays off in time.
C. The world is diverse and lively. D. Painting has no national boundaries.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了胡同里的外国艺术家俄罗斯插画师Liuba Vladimirova以及她用水彩为北京手绘的“纪念册”——《Liuba画北京》。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线部分所在句中的“Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years(弗拉基米罗娃从冰冷的西伯利亚城市伊尔库茨克到充满活力的北京的旅程始于她的大学时代)”可知，Vladimirova在上大学时来到北京；由划线部分所在从句“when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province(当时她commenced with一个学术交流项目，将她所在的俄罗斯大学与中国东北辽宁省沈阳的辽宁大学联系起来。)”以及下文“It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing.(正是在这一变革时期，她第一次踏上了北京的土地。)”可知，她由于在大学期间来到辽宁大学开始学术交流项目而有机会去北京；“she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang”表达的意思为“她开始了她的俄罗斯大学与沈阳辽宁大学的学术交流项目”，“commenced with”意为“开始”，与B选项began表达意思一致。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear (直线的). Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.( Vladimirova作为艺术家的道路远非直线的。Vladimirova从小就对绘画和绘画产生了热爱。然而，她追求不同的学术和专业路线，在大学学习中国和国际贸易，后来从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作，这些都与艺术界没有直接联系。然而，Vladimirova内心的艺术家仍然活着。)”可知，尽管Vladimirova从小就对绘画和绘画产生了热爱，但是她在大学学习中国和国际贸易，并从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作；由此可知，她一开始从事的是与艺术没有联系的工作，后来才从事艺术行业，她推迟了她的艺术生涯。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.(2015年，Vladimirova开始创作一系列以北京为中心的插图，并将其命名为“北京日历”。最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同。这些历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉。)”可知，最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同，历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉；由此可知，作者提到胡同是为了展示Vladimirova艺术创作的灵感。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture. (Vladimirova能够捕捉到这些隐藏的细微差异，可能是因为她作为一个‘局外人’——一个不在北京长大的人——的独特视角。这种全新的视角让她带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到这座城市，准备接受一种新的文化。)”可知，Vladimirova的展示北京的绘画之所以如此成功是她对这座城市充满好奇心，以一个“局外人”的身份带着全新的眼光和渴望的心来到北京，以全新的视角去接受一种新的文化；A选项“Curiosity works wonders.(好奇心能创造奇迹。)”能够最好地概括Vladimirova的成功。故选A。
C
Choosing the Right Resolution (决定)
Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.
To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat — the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.
Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.
As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.
If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.
In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.
28. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because .
A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans
B. it is focused too much on the result
C. it is dependent on too many things
D. it is based on actionable decisions
29. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because .
A. they obeyed all the general rules
B. they paid more attention to exams
C. they were motivated by their classmates
D. they were rewarded for reading some books
30. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal
A. “I’ll give up dessert.”
B. “I’ll study harder.”
C. “I’ll cut down my expense”
D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”
31. The writer strongly believes that we should .
A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome
B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them
C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits
D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章举例说明在我们制定目标的时候，应选择可以变成好习惯的具体行动，而不要过于笼统地注重结果。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To reach our goal of losing weight—the output, we need to control what we eat—the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. (为了达到减肥的目标——输出，我们需要控制我们的饮食——输入。也就是说，我们倾向于关心输出，而不是控制输入。这不是一种构建目标的好方法。)”和“Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. (创建一个专注于明确输入的目标可能比专注于结果更有效。)”可知，作者认为把减肥作为一个目标是错误的，因为过于注重结果。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. (例如，研究人员Roland Fryer想看看什么能最有效地激励孩子在学校表现得更好。在某些情况下，他根据输入给学生奖励，比如阅读某些书籍，而在其他情况下，奖励是基于输出，比如考试成绩。)”可知，在Roland Fryer的研究中，因为有些学生读了一些书而得到了奖励，所以他们比其他人做得更好。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch ” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.(与其下定决心减肥，不如尝试一个切实可行的决心：“我午饭不再吃甜点”或“我每天步行20分钟”。制定一个专注于明确输入的目标可能比专注于结果更有效)”及第三段“Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books on the other hand is a well-set task over which they have much more control.(弗莱尔的结论是，强化输入可能更有效，因为学生不知道如何在考试中取得更好的成绩，除了像“更努力地学习”这样的一般规则。另一方面，阅读某些书籍是一项很好的任务，他们有更多的控制权)”及文章倒数第二段“If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly if you want to spend more time with your family don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday.(如果你想减少开支，一个很好的目标是早上在家里煮咖啡，而不是去咖啡馆。这是一个明确的基于行动的目标，你可以很容易地衡量你的成功。少花钱不是一个目标，因为它太笼统了。同样，如果你想花更多的时间和你的家人在一起，不要止步于这个笼统的愿望。想一个可行的习惯，你可以采纳并坚持，比如每周三的家庭电影之夜。)”可知，作者认为比较具体可行的，注重过程的目标是好的目标，笼统泛泛，只注重结果的目标不是好目标，在四个选项中A项“我将放弃甜食”是具体的目标，其他都是笼统的目标。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. (同样，如果你想花更多的时间和家人在一起，不要止步于这个普遍的愿望。想一个你可以养成并坚持的可行习惯，比如每周三全家一起看电影。)”可知，作者建议我们应该选择可以变成好习惯的具体行动。故选C项。

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(顾客).
But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today ”
Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

A. until he was paid enough by Mrs. Smith.
B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear

Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it：“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently：“Take this to the butcher(屠夫)and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”(史密斯太太的狗饿了，但家里没有肉。考虑到没有更好的办法。史密斯太太拿了一张纸，在上面写了下面的话：“给我的狗半磅肉。”然后她把这张纸递给她的狗，温柔地说：“把这张纸拿给屠夫，他会给你今天的午餐。”)”可推断，史密斯太太对待狗非常好。故选C。

This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers(顾客)(第二天，狗正好在中午又来了。和往常一样，它嘴里叼着一张纸。这一次，屠夫连纸都没看一眼，把肉给了狗，因为他把狗当成了自己的顾客之一。)”以及第五段“But, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper.(但是，狗在四点钟又来了。同样的事情又发生了。更令肉贩吃惊的是，它在六点钟第三次来了，还带来了第三张纸。)”以及文章最后一段“Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!(他看了看那张纸，发现上面一个字也没有！)”可推断，这只小狗已经知道用空白的纸张去换肉，所以小狗知道史密斯太太给它纸会给它带来好处。故选B。
34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. (狗嘴里叼着那张纸，跑向肉店。它把纸给了屠夫。屠夫仔细地看了看，认出这确实是那位女士的笔迹，很快就照她说的做了。狗很高兴，立刻把肉吃光了。)”可知，屠夫在确认纸上的字是史密斯太太所写之后才把肉给了狗。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!(他看了看那张纸，发现上面一个字也没有！)”可知，屠夫最后发现纸上一个字都没有，而上文则告诉我们屠夫那天已经给了小狗两次肉了。由此推断，屠夫最后发现自己被这只聪明的狗给耍了。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever watched a silent television show and tried to predict how the characters were feeling according to their body language The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. ____36____. This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.
Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry. Did you clench (咬紧) your teeth Did your palms get sweaty when you were anxious In most cultures, these cues (线索) that reveal emotional states are quite common. But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. ____37____. In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand.
In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____38____.
So, what should we do Should we not use gestures at all Of course not. ____39____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.
____40____, you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!
A. It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
B. So, the next time you decide to travel to another country
C. When you flash the “OK” sign there, you’re asking for a fight.
D. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.
E. Even the smallest children can figure out when their mothers are mad.
F. Gestures are something that comes with the language of communication.
G. A general way of saying “Hello” in western culture is a brief handshake.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. C 39. F 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是肢体语言及不同地区肢体语言的差异。
【36题详解】
根据上文“The ability to understand people’s body language is a skill that’s almost born inside of us. (理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能。)”可知，上文告诉我们理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能，E项意为“即使最小的孩子也能知道妈妈什么时候生气了。”选项能够承接上文，举例说明理解他人肢体语言的能力几乎是我们天生的技能，即使最小的孩子也能通过肢体语言知道妈妈什么时候生气了。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据下文“In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand. (然而，在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，而不是握手。)”可知，下文告诉我们在印度，问候某人的理想方式是触摸他们的脚，G项意为“在西方文化中，说“你好”的一般方式是简短的握手。”选项能够引起下文，分别介绍了西方和印度问候某人的方式，西方是简短的握手，印度不是握手，而是触摸他们的脚。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). (例如，“OK”符号在印度被用作极好的符号，但在土耳其，这个符号被认为是冒犯性的。)”可知，上文告诉我们在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，C项意为“当你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。”选项能够承接上文，在土耳其，“OK”符号被认为是冒犯性的，你在那里闪烁“OK”标志时，你是在找茬打架。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据上文“So, what should we do Should we not use gestures at all Of course not. (那么，我们该怎么办？我们不应该使用手势吗？当然不是。)”可知，上文提出问题，既然各地的手势语不同，我们不应该使用手势吗？F项意为“手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。”选项能够承接上文，我们应该使用手势语，因为手势是伴随着交流语言而来的东西。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据下文“you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay! (你最好在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书，以便更好地与当地人互动，避免在逗留期间冒犯他们！)”可知，下文告诉我们可以通过在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，B项意为“所以，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时”，选项能够引起下文，下次你决定去另一个国家旅行时，先在谷歌上快速搜索，或者求助于一本综合性的书来了解当地人的肢体语言，以便更好地与当地人互动。故选B。

【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：因此，中国在生物多样性保护和荒野保护方面取得的成就对全球生物多样性保护的未来具有重要意义。设空处在句中作主语，根据谓语动词are，可知句子的主语应为复数的形式。故填achievements。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：至关重要的生物多样性，加上庞大的人口，促使政府重新考虑其保护区体系，并将一些荒野地区，如海南的热带雨林，转变为正式的国家公园。设空处在句中作非谓语，和句子的逻辑主语之间The vital biodiversity是逻辑的被动关系，设空处应用动词的过去分词的形式。故填combined。
【58题详解】

【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意见上题解析。根据空后的“of the Yellow River (黄河之滨)”可知，此处表示特指，应用定冠词。故填the。

67. 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。
I was a shy 13-year-old boy that year, afraid to speak before people and poor at communicating with others. My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week.
On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long period of time. The cat was so lovely.
However, one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a high-traffic road, and this cat didn’t have “street smarts”. I guessed he would probably die and wouldn’t be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it.
On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse.
Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, “If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again.” Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye.
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。
My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. Excited, I walked right up to him. While I carried him in my arms, he pushed his dirty face into mine. I wept with joy because I had found my cat. I turned around and took him to rush home. Seeing me carrying our cat, my mother was surprised. When I showed him to her, she said, “Just as I told you, a miracle may happen as long as you don’t give up.” This time, I nodded and smiled.
Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. “Maybe it’ll indeed change me if I stick to it.” I told myself while heading towards the restaurant. Still feeling a little tired and afraid while I was working that day, I was better than before. And I continued doing the job. Eventually, I miraculously found I dared to look directly at the customers and communicate with them with a confident smile. My parents were happy about my changes. When my job ended that summer, I wrote a sentence in my journal: “Don’t give up before a miracle happens.”

Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China’s busy capital city. Within its lively watercolors, traditional hutong, the grand Summer Palace, and the contemporary charm of Beijing’s Sanlitun and 798Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova, more famously known as Liuba Draws.
Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years, when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing. Since then, her affection for the city has been undeniable.
Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear (直线的). Since childhood Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China, none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.
In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing, properly named “The Beijing Calendar”. What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring (源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.
Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture.
24. What do the underlined words “commenced with” mean in paragraph 2
A. Improved. B. Began. C. Resisted. D. Assessed.
25. What do we know about Vladimirova from paragraph 3
A. She gave up her dream. B. She won many art prizes several years ago.
C. She was hardworking over her childhood. D. She delayed her artistic career.
26. Why does the author mention hutong
A. To praise Beijing’s architecture. B. To show the inspiration of Vladimirova’s art making.
C. To state the main contents of an art book. D. To advise tourists to visit Beijing.
27. Which statement best summarizes Vladimirova’s success
A. Curiosity works wonders. B. Hard work pays off in time.
C. The world is diverse and lively. D. Painting has no national boundaries.
C
Choosing the Right Resolution (决定)
Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.
To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat — the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.
Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.
As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.
If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.
In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.
28. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because .
A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans
B. it is focused too much on the result
C. it is dependent on too many things
D. it is based on actionable decisions
29. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because .
A. they obeyed all the general rules
B. they paid more attention to exams
C. they were motivated by their classmates
D. they were rewarded for reading some books
30. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal
A. “I’ll give up dessert.”
B. “I’ll study harder.”
C “I’ll cut down my expense”
D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”
31. The writer strongly believes that we should .
A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome
B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them
C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits
D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output
D

This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.

For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____38____.
So, what should we do Should we not use gestures at all Of course not. ____39____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.

67. 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。
I was a shy 13-year-old boy that year, afraid to speak before people and poor at communicating with others. My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week.
On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long period of time. The cat was so lovely.
However, one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a high-traffic road, and this cat didn’t have “street smarts”. I guessed he would probably die and wouldn’t be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it.
On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse.
Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, “If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again.” Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye.
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。
My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job.
