I grew up with the same group of kids from age 5 to age 12. We lived in the same community, shared the same schools and experienced all the ups and downs of that period.
Then I hit junior high and a whole new world opened up to me. It seemed everyone was there, friends from football teams and people from the summer workshop. They welcomed me, figuring that I had to be cool to know so many people. I was a different person with each new group of friends and began to distance myself from the “kindergarten group”.
However, it wasn’t long before these so-called new friends left me when they found out I really wasn’t cool enough to be there. This was one of the hardest times in my life. I felt alone and was very disappointed in myself. It was then, when I thought I had nowhere else to go, that I tried to make my way back into the “kindergarten group”. I organized a camp-out and invited them to come. I had thought they were going to be cold and exclude me as I had done to them. But they all turned up and we just picked up right where we left off. There was absolutely no hate, only comfort and an unexpected sense of belonging. They gave me room to grow and learn my own lessons, my own way, in my own time.
From them, I have learned two things: the type of friends I want, and the type of friend I want to be. We will all continue to grow separately together, all the while providing the unconditional love, understanding and support only friends like these are capable of.
4. How did the author feel about her school life according to Paragraph 2
A. Shocked. B. Upset. C. Curious. D. Happy.
5. Why did the author organize a camp-out
A. To make more friends.
B. To get close to nature.
C. To apologize to her friends.
D. To reconnect with her old friends.
6. What does the underlined word “exclude” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Cheat. B. Refuse. C. Warn. D. Attack.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Friend in Need.
B. My Kindergarten Group.
C Lessons in Friendship.
D. Friends in My New School.

My brother Jack’s childhood was completely influenced by his extreme picky eating. From three to about 14, he only ate chicken, peanut butter, apples, cereal, and sweets. We tried everything in the book, but none succeeded.
However, in the past three years, he has gone through an amazing change. Today, he will eat close to ten times the types of foods he was willing to try before. He is even willing to try new things; he constantly asks to order something different at a restaurant. I’ve often wondered what makes a person change so much.
Through some research, several factors come out. The first major player in our food preferences is innate (先天的), and it all starts with genetics. As humans, we all are likely to enjoy a few particular tastes for evolutionary (进化的) reasons.
However, genetics aren’t the only factor that explains why we enjoy or dislike particular foods. In fact, most of our preferences are actually learned, sometimes even before we are born. In one study, mothers regularly drank carrot juice late in the stages of their pregnancy (怀孕). After birth, these babies tended to enjoy carrot-flavored milk more than other babies.
Additionally, I believe that sometimes, cultural influences affect your willingness to try food, Possibly, my brother finally got so sick of having to be the one who needed a special order at a restaurant that he forced himself to try and like those things he was afraid of. It simply takes time. People will learn to adapt and realize their true tastes. An open mind is a positive thing, and most will develop an ever-expanding plate as they age.
8. What do we know about Jack’s eating habit before he was 14
A. He always ate too much.
B. He only ate certain foods.
C. He had no chance to try new food.
D. His family changed his eating habits.
9. Which word can best describe Jack’s change of eating habits
A. Surprising. B. Scary. C. Dangerous. D. Funny.
10. What does the study on pregnant mothers tell us
A. Our food preference can be learned.
B. Genetics influences food preference.
C. Eating habits can’t be changed very easily.
D. People enjoy certain foods for evolutionary reasons.
11. What suggestion does the author make about eating habits
A. Keep a healthy lifestyle.
B. Stick to what we like.
C. Understand the food culture.
D. Stay open and try something new.
D
The Gezhouba Dam is the world’s largest run-of-river hydropower (水力发电) station and the first large water control project in the Yangtze River. It will celebrate the 43rd anniversary (周年纪念) of its functioning in 2024. Since its functioning, nearly 600 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity has been produced in total. It is the largest water protection project independently designed, constructed and operated by China in the 20 century.
From the start of construction in 1970 to the functioning of the first generator unit in1981, to the completion of the whole project in December 1988, more than 100,000 hydropower specialists from all over the country, who set up base in the wilderness, carrying poles and pushing carts to overcome a series of significant technical problems, finally completed all the construction tasks with their blood and sweat.
Since its completion, the Gezhouba Dam has safely released more than 60 floods equal to 45,000 cubic meters per second on the Yangtze River, effectively reducing the pressure of downstream flood control operations and helping to protect the lives and belongings of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze.
“The successful construction and management of the Gezhouba Dam has provided valuable experience and played a role in training talent for the design, construction and operation of the Three Gorges Project and other super dams. Practice has proved that the Chinese are able to build and manage large water projects on the Yangtze River,” Xiang Ke, deputy director of the Gezhouba Hydropower Plant, said, “A new chapter of hydropower development for the Chinese people begins with the Gezhouba Dam, and we will continue our efforts to contribute to a brighter future in this field.”
12. What can we learn about the Gezhouba Dam
A. It started to function in 1991.
B. It is the world’s largest water control project.
C. Its completion is achieved without any foreign help.
D. It produces about 600 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
13. How long did the construction of the Gezhouba Dam take
A. 7 years. B. 11 years. C. 18 years. D. 43 years.
14. What is introduced about the Gezhouba Dam in the last paragraph
A. The process of building it.
B. The way to operate it.
C The reasons for constructing it.
D. The significance it has produced.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a famous hydropower station.
B. To explain the function of the Gezhouba Dam.
C. To present China’s determination in flood control.
D. To stress the importance of water control projects.
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
We can study language change using language corpora (语料库) like the Cambridge English Corpus, which contains a large collection of texts gathered over many years. ___16___
Changes in adverbial meaning. A large change in language that we recorded in our research is the change in terms of frequency (频率) of the adverb “literally”, which in the 2010s was almost ten times more frequent than in the 1990s, for example. ___17___ There has also been a notable change in meaning with the 2010s seeing much more metaphorical (比喻的) use of literally than before e.g. “oh I literally haven’t moved all day”. This is important, as if someone had not moved in the slightest for a whole day, then we might grow a little worried for them. This of course was not what the speaker meant. ___18___
Technology. Creativity in language often assumes creativity in the wider world. and technology is a great driver of this. Think about companies like WeChat or WhatsApp. which were founded in 2011 and 2009 respectively. In 2007, if you were to say “I’ll whatsapp you”, no one would have understood. ___19___ In fact, in the Now Corpus there are no examples of the word WhatsApp in 2010, while in 2018 there were over 50,000 examples.
___20___ The word “wicked”, for example, was originally used as a negative word. But a study shows that in spoken British English, wicked is used more positively like “well wicked” in the 2010s, An important thing to know is that if someone calls something wicked. it is not necessarily bad.
A. Changes in positive and negative words.
B. Changes in the position of words in a sentence.
C. Rather, the speaker was most likely to stress a fact.
D. Here are three findings from the study of such data.
E. However, frequency is not the only point of interest.
F. Fortunately language change is happening all around us.
G. But now the frequency of the word has increased sharply.

任务型阅读
War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted.
Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be.
46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。
write nurse attend like preparation argue goal career realize happy approach angry
In high school, I ______ all the required courses and made all ______ I could for being a nurse. I believed it was my ______ to heal the sick.
As graduation ______, I found that I wouldn’t be ______. doing nursing care in the future. I decided not to be a ______.
Then, I started to ______ that I’d been always loving writing and doing it well. I was determined to make writing my _______.
In late July, I told my mom I wanted to go to a ______ college instead of the famous nursing school. My mom disagreed with me and we ______ a lot.
47. What did the writer and her mom argue about

I grew up with the same group of kids from age 5 to age 12. We lived in the same community, shared the same schools and experienced all the ups and downs of that period.
Then I hit junior high and a whole new world opened up to me. It seemed everyone was there, friends from football teams and people from the summer workshop. They welcomed me, figuring that I had to be cool to know so many people. I was a different person with each new group of friends and began to distance myself from the “kindergarten group”.
However, it wasn’t long before these so-called new friends left me when they found out I really wasn’t cool enough to be there. This was one of the hardest times in my life. I felt alone and was very disappointed in myself. It was then, when I thought I had nowhere else to go, that I tried to make my way back into the “kindergarten group”. I organized a camp-out and invited them to come. I had thought they were going to be cold and exclude me as I had done to them. But they all turned up and we just picked up right where we left off. There was absolutely no hate, only comfort and an unexpected sense of belonging. They gave me room to grow and learn my own lessons, my own way, in my own time.
From them, I have learned two things: the type of friends I want, and the type of friend I want to be. We will all continue to grow separately together, all the while providing the unconditional love, understanding and support only friends like these are capable of.

They welcomed me, figuring that I had to be cool to know so many people. I was a different person with each new group of friends and began to distance myself from the “kindergarten group”.”（然后我上了初中，一个全新的世界向我敞开了大门。似乎每个人都在那里，足球队的朋友和夏季讲习班的人。他们欢迎我，认为我必须很酷才能认识这么多人。面对每一群新朋友，我都是一个不同的人，并开始与“幼儿园群”保持距离。）可推知，根据第二段，作者对她的学校生活感到好奇。故选C项。

My brother Jack’s childhood was completely influenced by his extreme picky eating. From three to about 14, he only ate chicken, peanut butter, apples, cereal, and sweets. We tried everything in the book, but none succeeded.
However, in the past three years, he has gone through an amazing change. Today, he will eat close to ten times the types of foods he was willing to try before. He is even willing to try new things; he constantly asks to order something different at a restaurant. I’ve often wondered what makes a person change so much.
Through some research, several factors come out. The first major player in our food preferences is innate (先天的), and it all starts with genetics. As humans, we all are likely to enjoy a few particular tastes for evolutionary (进化的) reasons.
However, genetics aren’t the only factor that explains why we enjoy or dislike particular foods. In fact, most of our preferences are actually learned, sometimes even before we are born. In one study, mothers regularly drank carrot juice late in the stages of their pregnancy (怀孕). After birth, these babies tended to enjoy carrot-flavored milk more than other babies.
Additionally I believe that sometimes, cultural influences affect your willingness to try food, Possibly, my brother finally got so sick of having to be the one who needed a special order at a restaurant that he forced himself to try and like those things he was afraid of. It simply takes time. People will learn to adapt and realize their true tastes. An open mind is a positive thing, and most will develop an ever-expanding plate as they age.
8. What do we know about Jack’s eating habit before he was 14
A. He always ate too much.
B. He only ate certain foods.
C. He had no chance to try new food.
D. His family changed his eating habits.
9. Which word can best describe Jack’s change of eating habits
A. Surprising. B. Scary. C. Dangerous. D. Funny.
10. What does the study on pregnant mothers tell us
A. Our food preference can be learned.
B. Genetics influences food preference.
C. Eating habits can’t be changed very easily.
D. People enjoy certain foods for evolutionary reasons.
11. What suggestion does the author make about eating habits
A. Keep a healthy lifestyle.
B. Stick to what we like.
C. Understand the food culture.
D. Stay open and try something new.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“My brother Jack’s childhood was completely influenced by his extreme picky eating. From three to about 14, he only ate chicken, peanut butter, apples, cereal, and sweets. We tried everything in the book, but none succeeded.”（我弟弟杰克的童年完全受他极端挑食的影响。从3岁到14岁，他只吃鸡肉、花生酱、苹果、麦片和糖果。书上说的我们都试过了，但没有一个成功。）可知，杰克14岁之前的饮食习惯是他只吃某些食物。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, in the past three years, he has gone through an amazing change. Today, he will eat close to ten times the types of foods he was willing to try before. He is even willing to try new things; he constantly asks to order something different at a restaurant. I’ve often wondered what makes a person change so much.”（然而，在过去的三年里，他经历了一个惊人的变化。今天，他吃的食物种类是他以前愿意尝试的近十倍。他甚至愿意尝试新事物；他在餐馆里总是要求点不同的菜。我经常想知道是什么让一个人改变这么多。）可推知，杰克饮食习惯的改变是令人惊讶的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“However, genetics aren’t the only factor that explains why we enjoy or dislike particular foods. In fact, most of our preferences are actually learned, sometimes even before we are born. In one study, mothers regularly drank carrot juice late in the stages of their pregnancy (怀孕). After birth, these babies tended to enjoy carrot-flavored milk more than other babies.”（然而，基因并不是解释我们喜欢或不喜欢某种食物的唯一因素。事实上，我们的大多数偏好都是后天习得的，有时甚至在我们出生前就习得了。在一项研究中，妈妈们在怀孕后期经常喝胡萝卜汁。出生后，这些婴儿往往比其他婴儿更喜欢胡萝卜味的牛奶。）可知，对孕妇的研究告诉我们的食物偏好是可以学习的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Additionally, I believe that sometimes, cultural influences affect your willingness to try food, Possibly, my brother finally got so sick of having to be the one who needed a special order at a restaurant that he forced himself to try and like those things he was afraid of. It simply takes time. People will learn to adapt and realize their true tastes. An open mind is a positive thing, and most will develop an ever-expanding plate as they age.”（另外，我相信有时候，文化影响会影响你尝试食物的意愿。可能，我弟弟终于厌倦了在餐馆里做那个需要特别点餐的人，他强迫自己尝试并喜欢上了那些他害怕的东西。这只是需要时间。人们将学会适应并认识到自己真正的品味。开放的心态是一件积极的事情，随着年龄的增长，大多数人的盘子都会不断扩大。）可推知，作者对饮食习惯，认为应该保持开放，尝试新事物。故选D项。

We can study language change using language corpora (语料库) like the Cambridge English Corpus, which contains a large collection of texts gathered over many years. ___16___
Changes in adverbial meaning. A large change in language that we recorded in our research is the change in terms of frequency (频率) of the adverb “literally”, which in the 2010s was almost ten times more frequent than in the 1990s, for example. ___17___ There has also been a notable change in meaning with the 2010s seeing much more metaphorical (比喻的) use of literally than before e.g. “oh I literally haven’t moved all day”. This is important, as if someone had not moved in the slightest for a whole day, then we might grow a little worried for them. This of course was not what the speaker meant. ___18___
Technology. Creativity in language often assumes creativity in the wider world. and technology is a great driver of this. Think about companies like WeChat or WhatsApp. which were founded in 2011 and 2009 respectively. In 2007 if you were to say “I’ll whatsapp you”, no one would have understood. ___19___ In fact, in the Now Corpus there are no examples of the word WhatsApp in 2010, while in 2018 there were over 50,000 examples.
___20___ The word “wicked”, for example, was originally used as a negative word. But a study shows that in spoken British English, wicked is used more positively like “well wicked” in the 2010s, An important thing to know is that if someone calls something wicked. it is not necessarily bad.
A. Changes in positive and negative words.
B. Changes in the position of words in a sentence.
C. Rather, the speaker was most likely to stress a fact.
D. Here are three findings from the study of such data.
E. However, frequency is not the only point of interest.
F. Fortunately language change is happening all around us.
G. But now the frequency of the word has increased sharply.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了语言随着时代在三个不同方面的改变。
【16题详解】
上文“We can study language change using language corpora (语料库) like the Cambridge English Corpus, which contains a large collection of texts gathered over many years.(我们可以使用语言语料库来研究语言的变化，比如剑桥英语语料库，它包含了多年来收集的大量文本。)”说明我们可以使用语料库来研究语言的变化，下文各段首句说明了语言的变化，因此推断项“以下是对这些数据的研究得出的三个结论。”符合语境，承上启下。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“A large change in language that we recorded in our research is the change in terms of frequency (频率) of the adverb “literally”, which in the 2010s was almost ten times more frequent than in the 1990s.(我们在研究中记录到的一个很大的语言变化是副词“literally”的频率变化，在2010年代，这个频率几乎是90年代的10倍。)”举例说明副词频率变化很大，下文“There has also been a notable change in meaning with the 2010s seeing much more metaphorical (比喻的) use of literally than before e.g. “oh I literally haven’t moved all day”.(意思也发生了显著变化，2010年代以来，“literally”的隐喻用法比以前多了很多，例如“哦，我真的一整天都没动”。)”说明了意思也发生了显著的变化，因此推断前后文说明了两件不同的事情，E项“然而，频率并不是唯一的兴趣点。”符合语境，连接前后文。故选E。
【18题详解】
上文“There has also been a notable change in meaning with the 2010s seeing much more metaphorical (比喻的) use of literally than before e.g. “oh I literally haven’t moved all day”. This is important, as if someone had not moved in the slightest for a whole day, then we might grow a little worried for them. This of course was not what the speaker meant.( 意思也发生了显著变化，2010年代以来，“literally”的隐喻用法比以前多了很多，例如“哦，我真的一整天都没动”。这一点很重要，就好像有人一整天都没有动过，然后我们可能会有点担心他们。这当然不是说话人的意思。)”说明使用这个副词，说话人并非是真的说一整天没有动过，因此推断C项“相反，演讲者更有可能强调一个事实。”符合语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
上文“In 2007, if you were to say “I’ll whatsapp you”, no one would have understood.( 2007年，如果你说“我会用WhatsApp联系你”，没人会理解。)”说明2007年人们还不理解这句话，下文“In fact, in the Now Corpus there are no examples of the word WhatsApp in 2010, while in 2018 there were over 50,000 examples.( 事实上，在Now语料库中，2010年没有WhatsApp这个词的例子，而在2018年有超过5万个例子。)”说明人们越来越经常使用这个词，因此推断G项“但现在这个词的频率急剧增加。”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
空处为段落小标题。下文“The word “wicked”, for example, was originally used as a negative word. But a study shows that in spoken British English, wicked is used more positively like “well wicked” in the 2010s, An important thing to know is that if someone calls something wicked. it is not necessarily bad.( 例如，“wicked”这个词最初是一个贬义词。但一项研究表明，在21世纪10年代的英式口语中，wicked的用法更积极，比如“well wicked”。要知道的重要一点是，如果有人说某事wicked。这并不一定是坏事)”说明本段讲述词汇的积极性和消极词性有所变化，因此推断A项“积极词汇和消极词汇的变化”概况段落主旨，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些公司正在开发实验室培育的牛肉、猪肉、家禽和海鲜，如果这种人造肉被广泛使用，可以减少许多饲养作为食物的动物的残忍待遇，也可以大大降低生产肉类的环境成本。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：实验室培育的肉类正在将这种想象变为现实。由空前that为代词可知，此处为名词形式，构成that imagination“那种想象”名词短语，同时也符合动词短语turn sth into sth“把某物变为某物”。故填imagination。
37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：实验室培育的肉，也被称为人造肉，可以减少对饲养动物的残酷对待。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰lab-grown meat，lab-grown meat和call为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填called。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：实验室培育的肉，也被称为人造肉，可以减少对饲养动物的残酷对待。分析句子可知，此处为关系代词which/that引导的定语从句，先行词为animals，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语成分。故填which/that。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：它还可以大大降低肉类生产的环境成本。由副词修饰动词可知，此处为副词greatly作状语修饰动词reduce。故填greatly。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：这种肉是通过首先从动物身上提取肌肉样本来生产的。分析句子可知，此处为谓语动词的填入，根据上下文时态可知，此处为一般现在时，主语The meat为不可数名词和动词produce为被动关系，所以为一般现在时的被动语态结构。故填is produced。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：据说，一头牛的肌肉样本可以生产出足够做8万个汉堡的肉。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语enough to do“足够做某事”，满足句意要求，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to make。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：但是，人造肉类必须克服一些困难，比如降低成本，并在肉类上市之前证明其安全性。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语a number of“大量的，许多”，满足句意要求。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：但是，人造肉类必须克服一些困难，比如降低成本，并在肉类上市之前证明其安全性。根据句意以及空前safety和空后the meat为名词可知，此处为介词of表示“……的”，构成前后名词的所属关系。故填of。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意：好消息是，尽管面临所有这些挑战，人造肉公司仍在继续努力。由空前these可知，此处为名词复数形式作宾语。故填challenges。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：如果他们能成功，人造肉可以使我们的生活方式比以前更环保、更有道德。由and连接的more ethical以及than可知，此处为形容词比较级形式。故填greener。
第四部分任务型阅读(共两节, 满分20分)
任务型阅读
War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations.
It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted.
Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be.
