书面表达（一）
In Paris Olympic Games, numerous occasions left deep impressions on me. What is the most
striking is the performance given by one of our peers---- the 17-year-old Quan Hongchan, who
won the gold medal again in diving after Tokyo Olympics with her exceptional skills. One of her
movements has even been referred to as the standard one officially.
After knowing how she prepared for the Olympics, it dawns on me that whatever pressure we
have, we might as well focus attention on what we should do now. Only by doing this can we
achieve the goals in our heart based on our hard work, patience and persistence.
All in all, efforts will definitely pay off in time.
书面表达（二）
Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange
but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that
her hands were so rough. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was also the first time he had
realized that it was the mother's rough hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his
graduation, academic excellence and his future. After cleaning his mother's hands, the youth
quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a
very long time.
The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer's office. "What have you done and learned,
young man ” Jimmy answered with tears in his eyes, "I cleaned my mother's hands and all the
remaining clothes." The lady nodded, "Please share something with me." The youth said, "Firstly,
I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today.
Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it
is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of
family relationship." The interviewer smiled, "This is what I am looking for to be my manager.
You are hired. Congratulations!"

答案详解及听力原文
阅读理解
A 篇【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了城市花园是社区的宝贵资产。它们为种植
可持续粮食提供绿色空间，建立社区凝聚力等等。
22. D.细节理解题。根据文章“Gotham Greens(哥谭镇蔬菜)”部分中的“It is using high-tech
greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable.(该公司正在
使用带有太阳能电池板的高科技温室，以确保种植的食物是健康和可持续的。)”可知，它
使用了高科技温室种植健康的食物。故选 D 项。
23. A.推理判断题。根据文章“Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students(巴尔的摩城市园艺与
学生)”部分中的“Many of these kids don’t have access to green spaces, and have never had the
opportunity to grow food.(这些孩子中的许多人没有机会接触绿色空间，也从来没有机会种植
食物。)”可知，来这里进行园艺活动的孩子从来没有接触过农作，也从来没有机会尝试种
植食物，由此可以推测出，该城市花园能向学生提供第一手的耕作经验。故选 A 项。
23.C.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Urban gardens are valuable assets to communities. They
provide green spaces to grow sustainable food, build community unity, make new friends, connect
with the earth, and much more.(城市花园是社区的宝贵资产。他们提供绿色空间来种植可持续
的食物，建立社区团结，结交新朋友，与地球联系等等。)”可知，文章主要讲的是城市花
园对城市人们的影响。由此可以推出，后文提到的四个城市花园都对城镇居民来说很重要。
故选 C 项。
B 篇 【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要围绕作者对其儿子阅读习惯（偏爱漫画或
图解小说）的看法和担忧展开，表达了自己的观点。
24. A 观点态度题。根据文章第一段中的“As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at
my son’s comics, considering them just picture books.（作为古典文学博士，我对儿子的漫
画不屑一顾，认为它们只是图画书。）”可知，作者对漫画非常不屑。故选A。
25. C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“But my view is that language is unique. The
complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely
lost when graphics take their place.（但我的观点是，语言是独一无二的。文字所能传达的
复杂情节、情感和内心想法等细节，在图形取代它们的位置时肯定会消失。）”可知，作
者认为图形不能表达文字所能传达出的复杂情节、情感和内心想法等。故选C。
26.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that
comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any
novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc.（我儿子为他的选择辩护得很好。他的观点是，漫
画是文学或足够接近文学，它们确实包含了任何小说的许多基本元素：情节、背景故事、
对话等。）”可知，作者的儿子认为漫画是文学或足够接近文学，两者非常相似，都有基
本元素：情节、背景故事、对话等。故选B。
27. C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant (不
情愿的) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids.
In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation (碎片化 ) reading, we are all losing the
ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome.（虽然这是帮助刚开始阅读的或不情
愿的读者养成更好的阅读习惯的好方法，但我不确定这对大一点的孩子来说是否适用。
在一个从碎片化阅读中获得即时满足感的时代，我们都在失去专注于较长文本的能力，
这令人担忧。）”以及最后一段“My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want
him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically,
which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for Do his comic books have such
power （我儿子正处于学业和情感发展阶段。我希望他阅读一些对他有挑战性的东西，
迫使他进行深入和批判性的思考，这将有助于他的进步。这不就是读书的目的吗？他的
漫画书有这样的影响力吗？）”可推测，作者写这篇文章是为了和读者分享其自己儿子只
阅读漫画的担忧。故选C。
C 篇【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍光污染正在夺走我们的夜空，使得星星在我们眼
前消失。
28. B 词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句“In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be
able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night.（在一望无际的天空中，在一个
晴朗、黑暗的夜晚，人类的肉眼应该能够看到几千颗星星）”以及画线词上文
“Unfortunately, growing light pollution has”可知，人类的肉眼本来可以看到几千颗星星，
不幸的是，日益严重的光污染却使人们不能欣赏夜景。故画线词意思是“使……不能”。
故选 B。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of
human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an
impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nightly spectacle (壮观 ) is
evident in ancient cultures.（此外，可见星星的损失是人类文化遗产的巨大损失。直到最
近，历史上的人类都能看到令人印象深刻的星空，这种夜间奇观的影响在古代文化中很
明显）”可知，可见星星的缺失会导致较少的夜间天空文化元素。故选 D。
30. C 细节理解题。根据第五段内容“Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky
glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500
nanometers (纳米 )..... But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at
nighttime.”可知，人类的眼睛在夜间对这些较短的波长更敏感。故选 C。
31. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing
evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help
protect the starry night sky.（全球夜间数据集对于我们持续评估天空辉光的变化是必要的，
我们鼓励任何可以参与的人来帮助保护星空）”可推断，Walker 期望会有更多的参与者
加入。故选 D。
D 篇【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了过度控制对心理健康的影响。虽然过度控制的
人具备的特质通常被社会所重视，但他们可能面临难以适应变化、社交孤立和孤独等问题。
过度控制的人应该不要总是控制自己的需求，要更好地表达情感并与他人沟通，
32. A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Being under controlled or over controlled is neither good nor
bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations.(受到控
制或过度控制既不好也不坏，因为我们大多数人的心理都很灵活，能够适应不同的情况)”
可知，心理灵活性使人们能够在生活中灵活地适应不同的情况。因此，心理灵活性有助于人
们有效地适应变化。故选 A。
33. B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Unfortunately, over control isn't talked about as much. This
may be because over controlled characteristics - such as persistence, the ability to make plans
and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions - are often highly
regarded in our society. (不幸的是，过度控制并没有被谈论那么多。这可能是因为过度控制
的特征--比如坚持、制定计划并坚持下去的能力、追求完美和控制情绪的能力--在我们的社
会中往往受到高度重视)”可知，过度控制的人的特征(如坚持不解、制订并坚持执行计划的
能力、追求完美和控制情绪)通常在我们的社会中受到高度重视，由此可推知，过度控制的
个性符合社会价值观，所以很少被提及。故选 B。
34.D 推理判断题。根据第五段“They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and
struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and
rarely smile or cry. Together these may make a person more likely to experience social
isolation and loneliness.(他们可能会对他人产生嫉妒的苦涩情绪，并在许多社交场合努力放
松和享受乐趣。他们也可能较少使用手势，很少微笑或哭泣。这些因素加在一起可能会使一
个人更容易经历社会孤立和孤独)”可知，过度控制的人可能很难适应各种变化，可能不太
愿意接受新体验，可能对他人产生苦涩的嫉妒情绪，也可能难以在社交场合中放松和享受乐
趣。这些因素可能使他们更容易经历社交孤立和孤独。由此可以推断出，过度控制的人可能
拥有较差的社交支持网。故选 D
35.B.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“lt helps over controlled people by teaching them how to let
go of the need to always be in control, be more open about theire motions, better communicate
with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations.(它帮助过度控制的人，教会他们
如何放下总是控制自己的需要，更开放地对待自己的情绪，更好地与他人沟通，在不断变化
的情况下更灵活)”可知，Lynch 针对过度控制问题研发了一种治疗方法，教过度控制的人如
何不要总是控制自己的需求，更加开放地表达情感，与他人更好地沟通，并在不断变化的情
况下更具灵活性。由此可推知，Lynch 给过度控制的人的建议包括“更多地与他人互动”这
一条。故选 B。
七选五
【解析】文章大意：本文为说明文。主题语境为人与自我。接受批评常常很难，作者就此提
出建议：接受不完美，真诚感谢建议，别找借口，听取他人意见，避免阻碍自我提升。
36. 答案 B
本题考查上下文衔接。
根据语境可知，此句引领下文（四条建议），第一段为引子，接下来四段为正文，也即就如
何解决该问题提出的建议、解决措施等。
37. 答案 D
本题考查上下文衔接。
本段建议“接受自己不是完美的"，且上句直接说：人人都有缺点，所以 D 项如果你看不到自
己的缺点，那就说明你没有仔细、认真地剖析自己，符合语境。
38. 答案 E
本题考查上下文衔接。
E 项中的“heard similar comments”与本段中的“the feedback...some truth to those words"以
及本段标题内容关联，围绕的是别人对你的评论、批评是否中肯。
39. 答案 A
本题考查段落主题句。
本空为段落主题，A 项中 “Thank the person” “for being honest”分别与本段中的：“to thank
the person” 和 “delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and
clear”相照应。
40.答案 G
本题考查上下文衔接。
G 项中的"you cut them off""to prove you are perfect"分别与本段中的“If you get defensive and
make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means”
以及本段首句 “Stop making excuses”相对应。
完形填空
【解析】作者在一次旅行途中放弃了习惯性做法，尝试与旁人交谈，从而结识了一位出版商，
成功出版了自己的书。作者认为人人都可以像他一样勇于尝试和冒险，这样可能拥有好运。
41.D. 本题可利用逻辑关系解题。句中 “I would put on my headphones and go to sleep”与下一
句中 “I decided to take a little risk” 形成鲜明的对比，前者是惯常做法，后者是这一天突破习
惯的做法。typically 通常；（typically 熟义为典型地，此处为通常）。
42.B. 根据句意，此处为转折关系，故选 B。
43.A. 根据上文的 “broke the silence”可知，作者开启了交谈，再结合下文 a fascinating
conversation。故选 A。
44.C. 根据第五段最后一句中的 “over a million books had been sold around the world.”可知，
这是一位出版商。故选 C。
45.D. 根据第一段中的 “on this particular day, I decided to take a little risk”可知，作者尝试以
一次冒险，主动开启谈话。后文提到的 “sharing with a book proposal”是作者的又一次冒险。
故选 D。
46.A. 根据文意 “He read it,but politely”可知是拒绝之意。decline 拒绝；maintain 维持，保持。
故选 A。
47.B. 根据文意 “That didn’t_______.”可知这次冒险没有成功。work out 进展顺利；turn out
被证明是，结果是；stand out 突出，出众；run out 用完。故选 B。
48.D. 根据后面 “inviting him to my class”可知，作者向他发出了邀请。reach out to sb.与某人
取得联系；lose contact with sb.与某人失去联系；argue with sb.与某人争论。故选 D。
49.A．根据后面 “He expressed a desire to meet these students.” 可判断是吸引注意力。 oppose
反对。故选 A。
50.D. 根据后面的 for 可判断选 D。
51.B. 根据本段结尾可知，此前被这位出版商拒绝的方案如今被他的编辑看中并出版售出上
百万册，因此可知此前人生发生了出乎意料的转折。unexpected 出乎意料的；intentional 有
意的。故选 B。
52.A. 根据 “that I had showed his boss a year earlier”可知，这是之前给他的老板看过的 book
proposal,因此是同一个方案。updated 更新的；dated 过时的。故选 A。
53.C. 根据句意。这趟旅程并非单纯幸运，而是源自一系列的勇敢尝试。result from 起因于。
故选 C.
54.B. 根据句意。故选 B.
55.D. 根据句意。作者通过这个故事想告诉读者，要用于尝试一些小的冒险，做出一点改变，
就也有可能增加好运的可能。故选 D。

M: Now, Mrs. Franks, I just like to read your statement back to you, and then you can write
your name on it.
W: Fine.
M: I was standing in front of the Second National Bank building at about 8:50 am, I saw a
small red car heading for the cross roads of Churchill Avenue, and York Road, it was coming
towards me along Churchill Avenue at about 40 miles per hour. The traffic lights on York Road
changed to green, and a delivery lorry began to move forward at about 5 miles per hour. The
driver of the car probably didn’t see that his traffic light has changed from orange to red, and ran
into the side of the lorry.
W: That’s correct.
