I stood outside my front door catching my breath. After a lazy Christmas holiday, I had to recover from climbing stairs with carry-on bags and a suitcase. I looked up and blinked. Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”.
Google Translate told me I would be arrested(抓捕) if I entered, so I didn’t. Finally, I called my rental agent. He went to the police station for more details.
My agent returned with authorization(授权) to enter. Not only were my files undisturbed, but so were the TV and printer. The burglars had taken a few items from the top drawer as well as a small amount of foreign currency in the bottom drawer. Somehow they hadn’t found the jewelry box in the third drawer.
I was in shock. My agent’s words were fuzzy(含混不清的), something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police.
Then one day, I remembered that I’d left another jewelry box in the flat. My heart sank as I thought of another locket that had been in that box, a gold engraved one with a picture of my late honey Grandma inside. When I realized the box was missing, the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried.
At the end of January, I received a registered letter from the police. The burglar hadn’t been found, and the case was closed. I slept with my purse by my bed. I hid my laptop when I showered. And then another challenge rose. I was unexpectedly fired.
Then one July night, I reached into my third drawer, pulled out my jean shorts, and heard a small thud. I looked down and blinked: It was the tiny jewelry box I thought had been stolen six months earlier.
Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. I started to cry.
24. What did the red tape across the writer’s door mean
A. There was a burglary(入室偷盗) here. B. The house couldn’t be entered freely.
C. The rent had to be paid quickly. D. The rental agent advertised for the house.
25. What did the agent promise to do
A. To fix the locks the next day. B. To report the burglary to the police.
C. To have an iron security gate fixed. D. To pay for missing things for the writer.
26. Which can best show the change of the author’s feeling after she learned of the burglary
A. puzzled→ anxious→ relaxed. B. shocked→ sad→ nervous.
C. shocked→ hopeless→ hopeful. D. puzzled→ relieved→ confident.
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. Red Tape B. A Jewelry Box C. “Lost” Smile D. Grandma’s Advice
C
A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.
A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl(珍珠鸡) of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel（多级的） societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing(揭露) the faults in that assumption.
These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to keep their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.
Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.
The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.
And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals (哺乳动物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.
According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at — no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.
“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.
28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study
A. The guineafowl’s social behavior. B. Previous assumptions about birds.
C. His interest in animal brainpower. D. The faults in earlier research.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The research subjects. B. The research methods.
C. The research findings. D. The research equipment.
30. What can be learned from the passage
A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.
B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.
C. Birds keep social order by travelling in combined groups.
D. Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.
B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.
C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.
D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.
D
You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.
When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish-eradicating their hunger-and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.
But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation
Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情).The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To explain a concept. B. To bring in a new viewpoint.
C. To introduce the background. D. To put up an example.
33. What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Getting rid of. B. Paying attention to.
C. Making up for. D. Putting up with.
34. What should we do first for those in disasters
A. Get them to think straight. B. Improve their confidence.
C. Give them long term advice. D. Teach them a new skill.
35. Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A. Live and learn. B. Never teach a fish to swim.
C. Put yourself in others’ shoes. D. Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.

“I’ll bet Anjali knows. Right, Anjali Why don’t you show us since you’re the star student,” Deepak taunted (奚落).
Anjali was confused. She wasn’t trying to show off. She was just playing tabla (印度塔不拉鼓), like everyone else. And why was Deepak being so mean lately Is it because tabla is a boy’s thing She didn’t care that people thought it was a boys’ instrument. Anjali knew there was no such thing. She danced her fingers across the tabla to perform the composition in confusion. “Ugh!” Anjali heard someone groan(呻吟;哼哼), and she stopped playing.
“I guess I don’t know it that well after all,” Anjali said sheepishly(窘迫的) to the teacher, Mr. Zakir. Her stomach was doing flip-flops(翻腾). That wasn’t true. Not even a little. Mr. Zakir’s eyes narrowed. He looked like he was about to say something, but changed his mind. “The recital (演奏会) is next week, everyone. Keep practicing. I will be announcing who will get to perform onstage with me at my next concert!” Anjali had dreamed of a moment like that. She wanted to win the opportunity, but she needed to sort things(妥善处理) straight with Deepak first.
As the class was dismissed, Anjali hurried over to Deepak. When she finally made eye contact with him, he purposely looked away and walked off. The next day at school, Anjali overheard(偶然听到) Deepak whispering to Mary. “People are only interested because she’s the only girl in tabla class and they want her to feel special. She’s not that good—” Anjali was furious(暴怒). She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She took some deep breaths but couldn’t relax. Her heart was pounding:
“It’s not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl playing tabla. I make mistakes too, but I work really hard. Maybe he should too. He should be less mean and practice more.”
“If I play in this concert, no one will talk to me again. He will turn everyone against me.”
“I don’t want to see a tabla or hear a tabla or play a tabla EVER AGAIN!!” Anjali yelled at the mirror. It was quiet for a moment. She believed it was one of her darkest days ever.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall.

Paragraph 1:
Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall. One of them illustrated with several instruments and a quote “Never dim your light.” For that very moment, Anjali thought about how she was mesmerized the first time she saw someone playing tabla, by the beautiful sounds he was creating with his hands. She knew that tabla was meant for her. When the day of the recital finally arrived, Anjali was determined to do her very best, regardless of the outcome. She was not going to let anyone make her feel bad, whether it was for being good at something or for being a girl. And as expected, she delivered a flawless performance.
Paragraph 2:
After the recital, Deepak walked up to Anjali. “Very impressive.” He remarked awkwardly that he was just jealous because tabla should be a boy’s instrument. Anjali shrugged, “You know there is no such thing.” As Anjali took one last look at the stage, she felt such a relief. Under the spotlight was the set of tabla, glittering on the stage just as she did a few minutes earlier. Among countless compliments and congratulations from the audience, Anjali heard a little sweet voice, “Bravo, Anjali!!” She turned to find a little girl looking up at her. “I didn’t know girls could play tabla,” she said. “Girls can do everything boys do,” Anjali beamed, “Never dim your light”.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Anjali是印度塔不拉鼓班上唯一的女生，虽然她很努力，但是她受到了Deepak的奚落，Anjali告诉老师Mr. Zakir自己不是很会塔不拉鼓，Mr. Zakir通知下周会有独奏会，叫同学们继续练习，Anjali一直梦想着这样的时刻，她想赢得这个机会，但她需要先和Deepak把事情理清楚，她偶然听到了Deepak和玛丽的窃窃私语，他们认为人们对Anjali感兴趣只是因为Anjali是手鼓课上唯一的女孩，Anjali觉得如果自己在这场音乐会上演奏，就没有人会再和自己说话了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“走出浴室，Anjali看到墙上一些鼓舞人心的海报。”可知，第一段可描写Anjali看到海报后的一些想法以及她参加了音乐会。
②由第二段首句内容“演奏会结束后，Deepak走向Anjali。”可知，第二段可描写Deepak向Anjali道歉以及Anjali的事情对其他人的鼓舞。
2.续写线索：想起第一次听到塔不拉鼓的情形——决定尽力——表演很完美——Deepak道歉——Anjali如释重负——一个小女孩受到鼓舞
3.词汇激活
行为类
①想起：think about/think of
②决定：be determined to do/decide to do
③评述：remark/comment
情绪类
①尴尬：awkwardly/embarrassedly
②笑：beam/grin
【点睛】[高分句型1] For that very moment, Anjali thought about how she was mesmerized the first time she saw someone playing tabla, by the beautiful sounds he was creating with his hands. (由how引导的宾语从句，the first time引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] He remarked awkwardly that he was just jealous because tabla should be a boy’s instrument.(由that引导的宾语从句和because引导的原因状语从句)

M: It's eighty cents. Don't use bills. Drop the exact fare into the money box after getting on the
bus.
W: Will it cost for the transfer
M: Yes. When you get on the transfer bus, just show the bus driver your ticket. You will only have to pay ten more cents.
W:That's good.
M: You can take a seat now. And when you're ready to get off, remember to press the button near your seat.
W: How far ahead of time do I need to ring the bell for you to stop the bus
M: One minute is OK.
(Text9)
W: I have finished typing your statement. Could you take a look and see if there are any
mistakes
M: Officer, you've misunderstood some of my points. I witnessed the accident at 7:00 in the morning, not in the afternoon. And I saw the accident today on July, 2nd, not yesterday.
W: Please correct them clearly for me. Anyway, because we have recorded our conversation, you
don't have to worry about the mistakes.
M: And I would say the student was holding something like a mobile phone, but I'm not sure. The driver made a sound to warn the student several times not only twice, but the student didn't pay any attention. And I would say the speed of the car was high instead of too high. You know, the student would have died if the speed had been too high.
W: Yes. You have to select your words carefully.
M: And the student was not unconscious right after the accident. Instead, she cried after the accident. I think the other information is correct.
(Text 10)
You can have the same neighbours for years and you love them; or you think you love them.
And you hope they love you. But do you ever really understand them Charlie Kemp and his
family lived next door to me for fifteen years. We were good friends for all that time.I enjoy
friendship—I’m sure it’s the best thing in the world. And friendship with the Kemps was
easy because they seemed to welcome it.
They were interesting and intelligent people, but they were always in some sort of trouble. It was usually illness or accident, but there were other things too. For example, their house caught fire twice; and twice the whole family slept in mine. They were always losing things—money, keys, a watch, a camera. Pictures fell off the walls; the children fell out of bed...I used to wake in the mornings and think:“What will happen to them today”
One day I lit a fire in my garden and was burning some rubbish. After a time Charlie Kemp came out of his house and walked up the road.“Morning, Charlie,”I said.“Lovely day,isn't it ”He smiled at me and nodded. I went on with my work. Twenty minutes later a policeman arrived. He walked into my garden and said, “You’ll have to put that fire out. Your neighbor has complained to us. He does not like the smell.”“My neighbour ”I said.“Yes.”The policeman took out his notebook and read.“Charlie Kemp.He lives next door,doesn't he ”
D篇
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段You've heard an old Chinese saying before：Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day；teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However，we can have a different understanding about it.（你以前听过一句中国古话：授之以鱼不如授之以渔。你现在甚至可能在点头表示同意。然而，我们可以有一个不同的理解。）可知，第一段是为了引入新的观点——对"授之以鱼不如授之以渔"的不同理解，故选B。
33. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文When a person is starving，that's not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish（当一个人在挨饿的时候，那不是给他灌输知识的时候，而是先给他一条鱼。）可知，当一个人挨饿时，先给他一条鱼，这样能消除他的饥饿，由此可知，划线单词"eradicating"意为"消除"，与A项"Getting rid of. （摆脱）"意思相近，A．Getting rid of去除；B．Paying attention to关注；C．Making up for弥补；D．Putting up with忍受。故选A。
34. 细节理解题。根据三段中People meeting with personal disasters don't have the ability to think straight.Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person's situation？（遇到个人灾难的人没有直接思考的能力。他们的神经可能会受到刺激。他们的信心可能根本不存在。你能想象处在那种情况下会是什么样子吗？）和第四段中Instead，it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance.Once their ears，heart and mind open，you'll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.（相反，帮助他们恢复情绪平衡更有意义。一旦他们的耳朵，心灵和头脑打开，你将有机会教一个新的技能。）可知，那些处在灾难中的人们没有信心，所以为了帮助他们，我们首先要做的是帮助他们恢复情绪，即增强他们的信心，故选B。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中The other is empathy （共情）.The more successful you are，the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson. （另一个是共情。你越成功，就越难想象成为失败的人是什么样子。试着在授之以渔课之前为情感接受创造一个安全的环境。）可知，作者建议我们要产生共情，即要换位思考，站在别人的角度考虑。故选C。

I stood outside my front door catching my breath. After a lazy Christmas holiday, I had to recover from climbing stairs with carry-on bags and a suitcase. I looked up and blinked. Red tape crossed the door. I didn’t understand Hungarian, but the one English word said enough: “POLICE”.
Google Translate told me I would be arrested(抓捕) if I entered, so I didn’t. Finally, I called my rental agent. He went to the police station for more details.
My agent returned with authorization(授权) to enter. Not only were my files undisturbed, but so were the TV and printer. The burglars had taken a few items from the top drawer as well as a small amount of foreign currency in the bottom drawer. Somehow they hadn’t found the jewelry box in the third drawer.
I was in shock. My agent’s words were fuzzy(含混不清的), something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making a list for the police.
Then one day, I remembered that I’d left another jewelry box in the flat. My heart sank as I thought of another locket that had been in that box, a gold engraved one with a picture of my late honey Grandma inside. When I realized the box was missing, the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried.
At the end of January, I received a registered letter from the police. The burglar hadn’t been found, and the case was closed. I slept with my purse by my bed. I hid my laptop when I showered. And then another challenge rose. I was unexpectedly fired.
Then one July night, I reached into my third drawer, pulled out my jean shorts, and heard a small thud. I looked down and blinked: It was the tiny jewelry box I thought had been stolen six months earlier.
Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up. I started to cry.
24. What did the red tape across the writer’s door mean
A. There was a burglary(入室偷盗) here. B. The house couldn’t be entered freely.
C. The rent had to be paid quickly. D. The rental agent advertised for the house.
25. What did the agent promise to do
A. To fix the locks the next day. B. To report the burglary to the police.
C. To have an iron security gate fixed. D. To pay for missing things for the writer.
26. Which can best show the change of the author’s feeling after she learned of the burglary
A. puzzled→ anxious→ relaxed. B. shocked→ sad→ nervous.
C. shocked→ hopeless→ hopeful. D. puzzled→ relieved→ confident.
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. Red Tape B. A Jewelry Box C. “Lost” Smile D. Grandma’s Advice
C
A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.
A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl(珍珠鸡) of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel（多级的） societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing(揭露) the faults in that assumption.
These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to keep their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.
Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.
The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.
And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals (哺乳动物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.
According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at — no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.
“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.
28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study
A. The guineafowl’s social behavior. B. Previous assumptions about birds.
C. His interest in animal brainpower. D. The faults in earlier research.
29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The research subjects. B. The research methods.
C. The research findings. D. The research equipment.
30. What can be learned from the passage
A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.
B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.
C. Birds keep social order by travelling in combined groups.
D. Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.
B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.
C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.
D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.
D
You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.
When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish-eradicating their hunger-and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.
But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation
Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情).The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To explain a concept. B. To bring in a new viewpoint.
C. To introduce the background. D. To put up an example.
33. What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Getting rid of. B. Paying attention to.
C. Making up for. D. Putting up with.
34. What should we do first for those in disasters
A. Get them to think straight. B. Improve their confidence.
C. Give them long term advice. D. Teach them a new skill.
35. Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A. Live and learn. B. Never teach a fish to swim.
C. Put yourself in others’ shoes. D. Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.

“I’ll bet Anjali knows. Right, Anjali Why don’t you show us since you’re the star student,” Deepak taunted (奚落).
Anjali was confused. She wasn’t trying to show off. She was just playing tabla (印度塔不拉鼓), like everyone else. And why was Deepak being so mean lately Is it because tabla is a boy’s thing She didn’t care that people thought it was a boys’ instrument. Anjali knew there was no such thing. She danced her fingers across the tabla to perform the composition in confusion. “Ugh!” Anjali heard someone groan(呻吟;哼哼), and she stopped playing.
“I guess I don’t know it that well after all,” Anjali said sheepishly(窘迫的) to the teacher, Mr. Zakir. Her stomach was doing flip-flops(翻腾). That wasn’t true. Not even a little. Mr. Zakir’s eyes narrowed. He looked like he was about to say something, but changed his mind. “The recital (演奏会) is next week, everyone. Keep practicing. I will be announcing who will get to perform onstage with me at my next concert!” Anjali had dreamed of a moment like that. She wanted to win the opportunity, but she needed to sort things(妥善处理) straight with Deepak first.
As the class was dismissed, Anjali hurried over to Deepak. When she finally made eye contact with him, he purposely looked away and walked off. The next day at school, Anjali overheard(偶然听到) Deepak whispering to Mary. “People are only interested because she’s the only girl in tabla class and they want her to feel special. She’s not that good—” Anjali was furious(暴怒). She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She took some deep breaths but couldn’t relax. Her heart was pounding:
“It’s not my fault that people make a big deal about a girl playing tabla. I make mistakes too, but I work really hard. Maybe he should too. He should be less mean and practice more.”
“If I play in this concert, no one will talk to me again. He will turn everyone against me.”
“I don’t want to see a tabla or hear a tabla or play a tabla EVER AGAIN!!” Anjali yelled at the mirror. It was quiet for a moment. She believed it was one of her darkest days ever.

Paragraph 1:
Stepping out of the bathroom, Anjali saw some inspiring posters on the wall. One of them illustrated with several instruments and a quote “Never dim your light.” For that very moment, Anjali thought about how she was mesmerized the first time she saw someone playing tabla, by the beautiful sounds he was creating with his hands. She knew that tabla was meant for her. When the day of the recital finally arrived, Anjali was determined to do her very best, regardless of the outcome. She was not going to let anyone make her feel bad, whether it was for being good at something or for being a girl. And as expected, she delivered a flawless performance.
Paragraph 2:
After the recital, Deepak walked up to Anjali. “Very impressive.” He remarked awkwardly that he was just jealous because tabla should be a boy’s instrument. Anjali shrugged, “You know there is no such thing.” As Anjali took one last look at the stage, she felt such a relief. Under the spotlight was the set of tabla, glittering on the stage just as she did a few minutes earlier. Among countless compliments and congratulations from the audience, Anjali heard a little sweet voice, “Bravo, Anjali!!” She turned to find a little girl looking up at her. “I didn’t know girls could play tabla,” she said. “Girls can do everything boys do,” Anjali beamed, “Never dim your light”.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Anjali是印度塔不拉鼓班上唯一的女生，虽然她很努力，但是她受到了Deepak的奚落，Anjali告诉老师Mr. Zakir自己不是很会塔不拉鼓，Mr. Zakir通知下周会有独奏会，叫同学们继续练习，Anjali一直梦想着这样的时刻，她想赢得这个机会，但她需要先和Deepak把事情理清楚，她偶然听到了Deepak和玛丽的窃窃私语，他们认为人们对Anjali感兴趣只是因为Anjali是手鼓课上唯一的女孩，Anjali觉得如果自己在这场音乐会上演奏，就没有人会再和自己说话了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“走出浴室，Anjali看到墙上一些鼓舞人心的海报。”可知，第一段可描写Anjali看到海报后的一些想法以及她参加了音乐会。
②由第二段首句内容“演奏会结束后，Deepak走向Anjali。”可知，第二段可描写Deepak向Anjali道歉以及Anjali的事情对其他人的鼓舞。
2.续写线索：想起第一次听到塔不拉鼓的情形——决定尽力——表演很完美——Deepak道歉——Anjali如释重负——一个小女孩受到鼓舞
3.词汇激活
行为类
①想起：think about/think of
②决定：be determined to do/decide to do
③评述：remark/comment
情绪类
①尴尬：awkwardly/embarrassedly
②笑：beam/grin
【点睛】[高分句型1] For that very moment, Anjali thought about how she was mesmerized the first time she saw someone playing tabla, by the beautiful sounds he was creating with his hands. (由how引导的宾语从句，the first time引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] He remarked awkwardly that he was just jealous because tabla should be a boy’s instrument.(由that引导的宾语从句和because引导的原因状语从句)

W:So 5 then
M: Didn't I tell you Alexander said he and his sister will also come with us.
(Text 3)
W: Why do you plan to move out of the apartment

(Text 4)
W: Can you take me to the Fairyland Railway Station quickly I'm afraid I won't be in time for my
train to Manchester.

(Text 5)
W: I really enjoyed myself at the party.
M: But you hardly said a word all evening, and you didn't even dance once.
W: I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
(Text 6)
M: I'm so sorry I'm late. You must have been here waiting for me for some time now. Sorry if I've made you late.By the way, I'm Daniel and I'm a student at university.

The driver made a sound to warn the student several times not only twice, but the student didn't pay any attention. And I would say the speed of the car was high instead of too high. You know, the student would have died if the speed had been too high.
W: Yes. You have to select your words carefully.
M: And the student was not unconscious right after the accident. Instead, she cried after the accident. I think the other information is correct.
(Text 10)
You can have the same neighbours for years and you love them; or you think you love them.
And you hope they love you. But do you ever really understand them Charlie Kemp and his
family lived next door to me for fifteen years. We were good friends for all that time.I enjoy
friendship—I’m sure it’s the best thing in the world. And friendship with the Kemps was
easy because they seemed to welcome it.
They were interesting and intelligent people, but they were always in some sort of trouble. It was usually illness or accident, but there were other things too. For example, their house caught fire twice; and twice the whole family slept in mine. They were always losing things—money, keys, a watch, a camera. Pictures fell off the walls; the children fell out of bed...I used to wake in the mornings and think:“What will happen to them today”
One day I lit a fire in my garden and was burning some rubbish. After a time Charlie Kemp came out of his house and walked up the road.“Morning, Charlie,”I said.“Lovely day,isn't it ”He smiled at me and nodded. I went on with my work. Twenty minutes later a policeman arrived. He walked into my garden and said, “You’ll have to put that fire out. Your neighbor has complained to us. He does not like the smell.”“My neighbour ”I said.“Yes.”The policeman took out his notebook and read.“Charlie Kemp.He lives next door,doesn't he ”
D篇
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段You've heard an old Chinese saying before：Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day；teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However，we can have a different understanding about it.（你以前听过一句中国古话：授之以鱼不如授之以渔。你现在甚至可能在点头表示同意。然而，我们可以有一个不同的理解。）可知，第一段是为了引入新的观点——对"授之以鱼不如授之以渔"的不同理解，故选B。
33. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文When a person is starving，that's not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish（当一个人在挨饿的时候，那不是给他灌输知识的时候，而是先给他一条鱼。）可知，当一个人挨饿时，先给他一条鱼，这样能消除他的饥饿，由此可知，划线单词"eradicating"意为"消除"，与A项"Getting rid of. （摆脱）"意思相近，A．Getting rid of去除；B．Paying attention to关注；C．Making up for弥补；D．Putting up with忍受。故选A。
34. 细节理解题。根据三段中People meeting with personal disasters don't have the ability to think straight.Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person's situation？（遇到个人灾难的人没有直接思考的能力。他们的神经可能会受到刺激。他们的信心可能根本不存在。你能想象处在那种情况下会是什么样子吗？）和第四段中Instead，it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance.Once their ears，heart and mind open，you'll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.（相反，帮助他们恢复情绪平衡更有意义。一旦他们的耳朵，心灵和头脑打开，你将有机会教一个新的技能。）可知，那些处在灾难中的人们没有信心，所以为了帮助他们，我们首先要做的是帮助他们恢复情绪，即增强他们的信心，故选B。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中The other is empathy （共情）.The more successful you are，the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson. （另一个是共情。你越成功，就越难想象成为失败的人是什么样子。试着在授之以渔课之前为情感接受创造一个安全的环境。）可知，作者建议我们要产生共情，即要换位思考，站在别人的角度考虑。故选C。
