One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying."I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.1 told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty.My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming."Don’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room."If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say."What He's all right " He hung up and shouted upstairs."The hospital said we can bring Richard home!" "Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home.I downstairs.My sacks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

The more curious we are about a topic, the easier it is to remember not only information about that topic, but also other unrelated information shown at the same time. A study published in Neuron shows what happens inside our brains when our curiosity is sparked.
Participants in the study were asked to rate(评估) how curious they were to find out the answer to a specific question, such as “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean ” They were then placed in a magnetic resonance machine (磁共振机) that measures brain activity on the basis of changes in the blood flow when the brain is carrying out certain tasks. They saw the question again followed by the image of a person’s face and were asked to make a specific decision about the person. Finally, they were shown the answer to the question. After the scan, they completed a surprise test on the answers to the questions and also on their ability to recognize the faces shown during the scan.
The research published three key findings. Firstly, when curious to learn the answer to a question people were better at learning that information. The most surprising was that participants had greater recall of the completely irrelevant information—such as the face—shown at the same time. Secondly, when curiosity was encouraged, the research found that there was increased activity in the region of the brain related to memory. And lastly, there was increased activity in the region of the brain connected with reward when curiosity was encouraged.
Behavioral neuroscientist Jee Hyun Kim said more could be done to see whether the different levels of curiosity and different motivations(动机) from person to person have an effect on memory and learning.
Amy Reichelt, a psychology expert, said, “Encouraging curiosity is really important across all ages, from schools to the workplace, and curiosity is especially helpful to children who struggle at school.”
8．How did scientists learn about curiosity and the human brain
A．By showing people a picture of a dinosaur while they’re in a magnetic resonance machine.
B．By asking people to remember important events while they’re in a magnetic resonance machine.
C．By giving people quizzes and using a magnetic resonance machine to score each of the tests.
D．By asking people questions while a magnetic resonance machine measured their brain activity.
9．What does the underlined word “irrelevant” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Important. B．Unrelated. C．Detailed. D．Obvious.
10．What’s Amy Reichelt’s attitude towards curiosity in the passage
A．Disapproving. B．Cautious. C．Positive. D．Admiring.
11．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．The relationship between curiosity and motivations.
B．The influence curiosity has on memory and learning.
C．Motivations and rewards are more important than curiosity.
D．How rewards encourage curiosity across all ages in learning.

“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” wrote William Wordsworth, who suggested that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (茁壮成长) or don’t.
Before you start to work in your garden, it is necessary to have an idea for it. Thinking of what you want to grow in your garden and how to arrange it is a good first step in making your idea a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind garden is like a piece of white paper and the possibilities are endless.
No matter what plants you choose, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to improve the soil before planting. So, creating right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Luckily, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock (基石) better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.
You don’t have to be an expert gardener to understand the meaning of “You harvest what you sow”. When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It is a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it’s likely that you’ll experience pain in return; however, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.
A gardener’s truly hard work begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops will grow well and be finally ready to be harvested.
12．Why does the author quote William Wordsworth in paragraph 1
A．To sing the praises of gardening. B．To stress the importance of results.
C．To encourage everyone to plant seeds. D．To compare people’s life to gardening.
13．What is important before gardeners start to work in their gardens
A．Receiving some training in planting.
B．Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.
C．Having the courage to accept the worst result.
D．Doing research on the common local garden plants.
14．What does the author want to express in paragraph 4
A．Your quality of life depends on your action.
B．Your experience can help you understand plants better.
C．Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.
D．Your choice of soil is the most important part in your gardening.
15．Where can you read this article
A．In a science magazine. B．In a book on life advice.
C．From a daily newspaper. D．From a website on agriculture.

To celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday, Luke Fortune drove from a small town in Central Oregon to Portland, where he parked his car in a paid garage overnight. The next morning, he discovered that the car’s window had been smashed, along with his dreams for the future: His backpack and computer were gone.
“Everything important to me was on that computer,” said Fortune, 21, who is studying to become a paramedic(护理人员). “My classwork, every paper I’d written, and all the programs I needed for my paramedic tests. Every letter I was working on for job applications. I felt sick.”
Two days after the theft, another young man was standing outside his apartment, also in Portland. Masoud Almazrouei, 29, is an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates. He had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale. Only $200. Almazrouei, who had been in the United States for only a year, admits now that he was naive(天真). But he needed a computer, so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on. Within seconds, he saw files and photographs.
“I wondered who would sell a computer with all of this on it,” he said. “I realized it could be stolen.” Almazrouei found what appeared to be the owner’s cellphone number and called it.
“This guy with a thick accent told me he had my computer,” Fortune said. “He told me the story and said it was his fault. I thought it was a scam(骗局). I told him if he really had the computer, he should take it to the police.”
Soon after, a police officer called Fortune to say that a man had dropped the computer off and had said he was sorry. He passed along the man’s number.
注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of $200, the money he was out.

试卷第8页，共10页
参考答案：
1．D 2．D 3．D
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了4个非常有特色的音乐节的基本信息，如举办时间、地点、费用，不同音乐节的不同特色及音乐风格等等。
1．细节理解题。根据问题，将关键词定位到第二段“Moab Music Festival
”中，第二段提到该音乐节会举办16场演唱会，其中就包括Grotto Concert，而该音乐节的举办时间为8月29至9月9日，因此最佳参与时间为9月4日，故选D。
2．细节理解题。文中第三段最后一句提到“Competition tickets start at $18, and concert tickets at $23”比赛门票18元，演唱会门票23元，加起来一共41元，故选D。
3．推理判断题。文中介绍了4个音乐节的有关情况，音乐属于艺术这一主题，因此可以在与艺术相关的网站上浏览到相关信息。故选D。
4．A 5．D 6．C 7．C
【分析】这是一篇记叙。文章讲的是一份特殊的礼物。这份礼物是作者的弟弟Richard，Richard是妈妈送给作者的礼物。作者很开心能有一个玩伴。后来，Richard生病被送到了医院，作者的爸爸妈妈都以为Richard的病情很严重，结果却是虚惊一场。
4．细节理解题。根据第二段“On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richard...she put him in my lap, saying."I promised you a gift, and here it is."”可知，1958年9月11日，妈妈生下了理查德……她把他放在我膝上，说：“我答应给你一份礼物，就在这儿。所以作者在1958年9月11日有了一个弟弟。故选A项。
5．词句猜测题。根据“Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying"”可知，作者听到爸爸妈妈小声地提到了“不抱希望的”、“可怜的”、“临死的”等字眼，这让作者有一种不详的预感，作者担心弟弟Richard会出事。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第3段中带下划线的"ominous"一词可能是fearful“令人恐惧的”的意思。故选D项。
6．推理判断题。根据第四段“ As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.”可知，作者的父亲一边说着，眼里充满了泪水。作者以前从未见过父亲哭过。所以通过关键词“filled with tears”可以判断出父亲因为Richard的病情而变得很难过。故选C项。
7．主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.”可知，文章讲的是作者的一段精彩的记忆，这段记忆是关于他的弟弟Richard的，再根据“a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts”可知，短文主要讲的是一份特别的礼物。故选C项。
8．D 9．B 10．C 11．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了好奇心对记忆和学习的影响。
8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Participants in the study were asked to rate how curious they were to find out the answer to a specific question, such as: “What does the term ‘dinosaur’ actually mean ” They were then placed in a magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) machine that measures brain activity, based on changes in blood flow when the brain is performing certain tasks. They saw the question again followed by the image of a person’s face and were asked to make a specific decision about the person. Finally, they were shown the answer to the question. After the MRI scan, they completed a surprise test on the answers to the questions and also on their ability to recognize the faces shown during the scan.(参与研究的人被要求评价他们对某个特定问题的答案的好奇程度，比如：“‘恐龙’这个词到底是什么意思 ”然后，他们被置于一台磁共振成象机中，该机器可以根据大脑执行特定任务时血液流动的变化来测量大脑活动。他们再次看到了这个问题，接着是一个人的脸的图像，并被要求对这个人做出一个具体的决定。最后，他们看到了问题的答案。在核磁共振扫描后，他们完成了对问题答案的突击测试，也完成了对扫描过程中显示的面孔的识别能力)”由此可知，科学家通过询问人们问题，同时用核磁共振仪测量他们的大脑活动，以此来了解好奇心和人脑的。故选D。
9．词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Firstly, when curious to learn the answer to a question people are better at learning that information.(首先，当人们对一个问题的答案感到好奇时，他们更善于了解这个信息)”以及“Most surprising though was that participants had greater recall of the completely”和划线词后文“such as the face - shown at the same time”由此可知，实验结果表明，参与者对一个问题好奇时，会更善于了解这个信心，而对完全不相关的信息——比如脸——也能更好地回忆。故划线词意思为“无关的”。A. important重要的；B. unrelated无关的；C. detailed详细的；D. obvious明显的。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Amy Reichelt, a psychology expert, said both that ‘stimulating curiosity is really important across all ages, from schools to the workplace and to elderly care and that curiosity is especially helpful to children who struggle at school.’”(心理学专家Amy Reichelt说，“激发好奇心对各个年龄段的人都非常重要，从学校到工作场所，再到老人看护，而好奇心对在学校里挣扎的孩子尤其有帮助。”)可推知，Amy Reichelt对好奇心的态度是积极的。故选C。
11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The more curious we are about a topic, the easier it is to remember not only information about that topic, but also other unrelated information shown at the same time. A study published in Neuron shows what happens inside our brains when our curiosity is sparked.( 我们对一个话题越好奇，就越容易记住与这个话题有关的信息，也越容易记住同时出现的其他不相关的信息。发表在《神经元》杂志上的一项研究表明，当我们的好奇心被激发时，我们的大脑所发生的事情。)”根据倒数第二段“Behavioral neuroscientist Jee Hyun Kim said more could be done to see whether the different levels of curiosity and different motivations(动机) from person to person have an effect on memory and learning.”（行为神经科学家Jee Hyun Kim表示，可以做更多的工作来观察不同程度的好奇心和不同的动机是否会对记忆和学习产生影响。）可知，我们对一个话题越好奇，就越容易记住这个话题的有关信息，也更容易记住同时出现的其他不相关的信息。结合文章还介绍了这项研究开展的过程、这项揭示的三个关键发现以及人们对这项研究的一些看法。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了好奇心对记忆和学习的影响。故选B。
12．D 13．B 14．A 15．B
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者把人生比作种植花园，告诉我们人生就像做园艺，要做出好的规划，准备肥沃的土壤，选择正确的种子，精心培育，最后才有好的收获。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段““Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” wrote William Wordsworth, who suggested that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (茁壮成长) or don’t. (“你的头脑是一座花园；你的思想就是种子。收获的要么是花朵，要么是杂草，”威廉·华兹华斯写道，他认为园艺的过程反映了人类的生活。取决于我们在生活中“种”了什么，我们会茁壮成长还是不会茁壮成长。)”可知，园艺的过程与人类的生活相似，我们是否茁壮成长取决于我们在生活中“种”了什么。由此可推断，作者引用William Wordsworth的话是为了引入话题，即把人类的生活比作园艺。故选D项。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Before you start to work in your garden, it is necessary to have an idea for it. Thinking of what you want to grow in your garden and how to arrange it is a good first step in making your idea a fruitful reality. (在你开始你的花园工作之前，有必要对它有一个想法。想想你想在花园里种什么，如何安排，这是让你的想法成为富有成效的现实的第一步。)”可知，作者认为在开始打理花园之前，有必要对花园有一个设想，想一想希望在花园里种些什么，即有个好的规划很重要。故选B项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段的“if you plant ill seeds, it’s likely that you’ll experience pain in return; however, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love. (如果你种下了不好的种子，你很可能会经历痛苦的回报；然而，如果你种下善良和理解的种子，你的生活就会绽放出幸福和爱的花朵。)”由此可推断，作者想告诉我们，生活质量取决于我们的行动。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，作者以种植花园为喻，形象地论述了一个人生哲理：人生就像做园艺，要做出好的规划，准备肥沃的土壤，选择正确的种子，精心培育，最后才有好的收获。结合选项可推断，这篇文章可能来自一本关于人生建议的书。故选B项。
16．D 17．B 18．G 19．F 20．A
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。在我们的日常生活中，有些人喜欢抓住过去，像一张破唱片一样一遍又一遍地播放。反过来，他们生活在悔恨、愤怒和恐惧之中。文章介绍了他们也遵循的原则生活。
16．上文提示“在我们的日常生活中，有些人喜欢抓住过去，像一张破唱片一样一遍又一遍地播放。”承接上文，D项 They, in turn, live with regret, anger, and fear.（反过来，他们生活在悔恨、愤怒和恐惧之中。）切题。D项中的in turn“反过来”上下句构成一种转折。故选D。

47．Paragraph 1
Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of $200, the money he was out. Almazrouei refused. He said it was his mistake to buy the computer from someone he didn’t know and he was the one to shoulder the responsibility. More importantly, he said, it was his honor to return the property to the rightful owner. “I saw a photo of this man in his paramedic uniform,” Almazrouei said. “They help people. He is a good man. I don’t want my money back.”
Paragraph 2
A story about the two young men’s encounter made it to the local papers. Overnight, Almazrouei became a household name and received numerous compliments for his honesty and kindness. One day he got a call from the president of Portland State University, where Almazrouei is studying economics. Impressed with his student’s integrity, the president gave Almazrouei a new MacBook Pro. “We thought since you gave back the laptop, we should give you a laptop so that you’ll have one,” He told Almazrouei. “We’re very proud of you. It was a great story, and you did the right thing.”
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Luke Fortune驱车去看望他的女朋友时，车里的背包和电脑被盗，这让他很沮丧。而两天之后Masoud Almazrouei从陌生人那里以200美元买下了一台电脑，当他打开电脑时发现了电脑里的很多资料以及电脑主人的电话，他意识到这台电脑是偷来的，所以Almazrouei决定将电脑送到警察局。不久，警察给Luke Fortune打了电话，说一个男人把电脑放在了警察局，并留下了电话。故事续写由此展开。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Fortune打电话来感谢Almazrouei，并坚持要付给他200美元的酬金。”可知，第一段要着重续写Fortune和Almazrouei之间的对话，Almazrouei表明自己不会收下Luke Fortune的钱。
②由第二段首句内容“当地报纸刊登了这两个年轻人相遇的故事。”可知，第二段可描写Almazrouei因诚实而成为了家喻户晓的人物，可以展开适当联想，他的事迹很快所就读的波特兰州立大学校长得知，并给了他奖励和鼓励。
2.续写线索：感谢并支付报酬——拒绝收钱——媒体报道——家喻户晓——校长嘉奖
3.词汇激活
