After a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Benjamin Blume began to attend Sam Houston State University, USA.But he felt there was something missing. That all changed when Blume attended a study program abroad. With the help of the staff at the Office of International Programs and the Veterans Resource Center (退伍老兵资源中心), he was able to take seven study trips abroad, visiting 19 countries in just three years.
Blume’s first stop was Leipzig, Germany for a German language program in the summer of 2018. Later that summer, Blume visited Australia as part of the stars and galaxy (星系) course. “There was a major eclipse (日食) in Australia that summer and it was an amazing thing to see,” Blume said. “We also visited Wyoming after leaving Australia for the same course to see the sky.”
In the fall of 2018, Blume took off again this time visiting Bern, Switzerland for a business course. Blume returned for the 2019 spring term before his next adventure that summer in Tokyo for a month-long economics trip. “Tokyo was quite the experience and like nothing I had seen before,” Blume said. “I had never experienced so much culture and history as I did there.”
Blume went from Tokyo back to Germany, this time visiting Aachen for an economics program. After returning to the US and staying for a month, Blume travelled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a three-week marketing program. Finally, Blume took his seventh and last study abroad trip to Auckland, New Zealand. “New Zealand was probably my favorite place to visit because the landscape is so diverse.” Blume added, “One day we hiked a glacier, which I had never done before. I also got to see where The Hobbit films were made.”

I’m 52, and as surprising as it may seem. I’m a gymnast. In a sport for young girls, I have found an unlikely path to joy. When I enter the gym, no matter how much stress I might be feeling, my mind clears and I forget my life. I think of nothing but what I am doing.
When I was 9, I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy. The coach had gray hair and wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm. He would say, “You are going to be a gymnast.” And I believed him. I vividly remember the first time I did a round off back handspring by myself, the weightlessness of it. I lived for Saturday mornings. I only ever did gymnastics recreationally — I didn’t even know real gyms existed — but I always loved it.
That long dormant love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. But I couldn’t make it through the warm-up at the first adult class I went. I felt bad during conditioning. I was the oldest person there. But that spark of memory glowed with possibility. I went back to class again, and again. It was hard and it was humbling. But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to.
There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill, that combination of speed, mechanics, timing, muscles, and bravery. There is an indescribable (不可言喻的) element, too, something like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics has brought the most delightful surprises — I keep getting better, overcoming what I thought were limits, amazing myself by what I can do. At a time in life when many things feel like they are sliding down the slope (斜坡) towards old, gymnastics is a gift of fluency and competence in motion. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16.
4.What inspired the author to love gymnastics when she was young
A.Her Saturday routine. B.The coach’s enthusiasm.
C.Her wish to be a gymnast. D.Pleasure from gymnastics.
5.What made the author go back to gymnastic classes in her forties
A.Her duty as a responsible parent. B.The desire to fit in with her daughter.
C.The strong urge to play with the bars. D.Her sweet memory of doing gymnastics.
6.Which of the following can describe the author’s personality
A.Faithful and easygoing. B.Humble and competent.
C.Passionate and persistent. D.Ambitious and considerate.
7.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Awake. B.Inactive. C.Deadly. D.Nameless.
C
From the roar of a crowd to the quiet of a library, sound and silence might seem like polar opposites. However, according to a new research, our brains perceive them in the same way. Silence may not be a sound, but scientists say we can truly hear it.
In this new study, researchers examined how people experience silence using well-known auditory illusions (错觉). The illusions are meant to test the perception of noise, but for the study, the team adapted them to measure people’s response to silence, instead.
“If you can get the same illusions with silences as you get with sounds, then that may be obvious that we literally hear silence after all.” Chaz Firestone, a co-author of the study and cognitive scientist at Johns Hopkins University, says in a statement.
In the study, participants were tricked by these “silence illusions” in a similar way to how people are typically fooled by the sound versions of the experiments.
The researchers prepared seven experiments and tested them on 1,000 study participants. In one experiment, researchers played a recording that sounded like background noise in a crowded place. In the first half of the recording, the background noise was interrupted by two separate periods of silence. In the second half, one continuous period of silence was inserted (嵌入). Researchers asked participants which silence felt longer- the combination of the first two periods of silence, or the second uninterrupted one. Most participants thought the continuous silence was longer, but it was actually the same length as the two shorter silences combined.
These results were consistent with previous research that examined auditory illusions, which used two separate sounds and one continuous sound. With that illusion, people also perceived the continuous sound as longer than the two separate ones together.
Similar findings across the seven experiments suggested that humans experience silence and sound in much the same way: They can distort (扭曲) our perception of time.
8.Why did researchers use auditory illusions in the new study
A.To help people perceive sounds. B.To test people’s adaptability to noise.
C.To measure how people respond to silence. D.To remind people to be quiet in the library.
9.What can we infer from paragraph 5
A.Illusions of silence fool people’s brains.
B.The three periods of silence are of the same length.
C.Sound is usually difficult for people to perceive.
D.Participants chose a recording and played it.
10.Where is this text most likely from
A.A diary. B.A journal. C.A novel. D.A guidebook.
11.What is the best title for the text
A.We can truly hear silence like a sound.
B.Sound and silence are actually the same.
C.Auditory illusions affect our perception ability.
D.Our brain has the ability to perceive sound and silence.
D
Computer games have seriously caught the attention of Mass Media. The increasing amount of games with violent scenes socks the society and makes it very aware of them. The fact that violent games cause violence in people is not even doubted by most people. Some say that the reason lies in games being too close to reality. But is it justified only according to the external similarity of these two worlds
Games originally are entertainment. Contemporary games are very realistic and for this reason they are a source of great experience for the player and develop the imagination. Games are more than entertainment. The research of the New York University led by Green and Bavelier claims that the player preferring active games get an improvement of some types of brain activity, related to processing of visual information. In particular, game players cope with problems of simultaneously (同时地) tracking several moving objects at the average level of 30% better than people who do not play active computer video games. A game is an abstraction. A player gets abstract tasks and acts according to abstract rules. Games are also the possibility to be whoever a person wants to be and to rest from the outside world for some time.
But what if a person gets so much excited with the game scenes that he becomes violent in reality Then, it proves that the games cause people to become violent. A psychologically healthy person will never confuse or connect these two different worlds. A game is a virtual world with visual images very similar to human. These images represent by themselves nothing but simple playing obstacles. A game may potentially give the opportunity to “destroy the obstacles” that may not be destroyed according to the rules, but it is more about personal choice whether to do it or not. This leads us to the conclusion that violence is not a consequence but the cause. People who originally tend to violence may get annoyed by games and perform violence in the “real world”. In this case violence in games is a simple justification of the violent nature of the player.
12.Which of the following best explains “sock” underlined in Para. 1
A.Transform. B.Strike. C.Interest. D.Confuse.
13.What can we learn from the research carried out by Green and Bavelier
A.Games can promote some kinds of brain activity.
B.Games can give people space to be themselves.
C.Games can be a source of great experience.
D.Games can help players solve problems.
14.Which of the following accounts for violence in real life
A.Abstract violent tasks. B.Violent visual images.
C.Realistic computer games. D.Individuals’ violent nature.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Violence: Not a Consequence of Games B.Violence: Not a Justification of Players
C.Games: The Violent Virtual Reality D.Games: The Cause of Violence

阅读下列短文,从短文的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to 16
FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. 17 Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media
Consider your own social media posts. 18 Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.
19 You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.
Learn to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter 20 And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy, all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.
A.If so, you are not alone.
B.Value your friends in real life.
C.Learn to appreciate the positives.
D.Why does it have such a stimulating effect
E.They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.
F.The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.
G.Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life

47.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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend was different from any other friends they had brought home. With a yellowish coat and tiny brown spots dropped across her nose, she was the cutest puppy I had ever seen.
When my husband got home that evening, he recognized the breed——a beagle puppy (猎兔犬), not more than twelve weeks old, he guessed. She ran to him right away and after dinner climbed into his lap to watch TV. By now the girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely. I tried to find seemingly logical reasons to explain my behavior.
By the end of the week, she was part of our family. We had named the puppy Molly. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time for the girls to take responsibility for another life, so they would learn the nurturing skills they’d need if they decided to become mommies when they grew up.
The following week, something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was asking for the return of a lost beagle puppy near our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook.
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。
Paragraph 1: Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad.

14.细节理解题。根据后一段“This leads us to the conclusion that violence is not a consequence but the cause. People who are originally prone to violence may get irritated by games and perform violence in the “real world”. In this case violence in games is a simple justification of the violent nature of the player(这使我们得出结论,暴力不是结果,而是原因。原本有暴力倾向的人可能会被游戏激怒,在“现实世界”中实施暴力。在这种情况下,游戏中的暴力只是为玩家的暴力本性辩护)”可知,现实中的暴力原因在于一个人的暴力天性。故选D项。

In this case violence in games is a simple justification of the violent nature of the player.(原本有暴力倾向的人可能会被游戏激怒,在“现实世界”中实施暴力。在这种情况下,游戏中的暴力只是为玩家的暴力本性辩护。)”可知,有暴力倾向的人本身就会因为游戏而被激怒并在现实生活中实施暴力行为,其根本原因不是由暴力游戏引起,所以A选项“暴力:不是游戏的结果”能概括全文内容,适合用作文章标题。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
【答案】16.A 17.D 18.G 19.C 20.E
【解析】16.根据前句“Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to (你是否经常感到生活离你而去,尤其是当你浏览社交媒体网站时,面对着朋友们正在做的所有令人兴奋的事情 )”及下一段“FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).(FOMO指的是别人的生活比我们自己的生活更优越的看法。它表现为一种强烈的嫉妒感,持续暴露在这种情绪下会削弱我们的自尊。)”可知,空处为承上启下句,即强烈的嫉妒感是很多人都有的感觉,引出下文对FOMO的介绍。所以选择项A“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样,你并不孤单。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
17.根据前句“While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. (嫉妒和缺乏自信似乎是人类的天性,而社交媒体似乎在火上浇油。)”和后文“Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体,以其固有的吸引力,让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面,而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实,但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知,空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用,以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect (为什么它有这样的刺激作用?)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
18.根据前句“Consider your own social media posts. (考虑一下你自己的社交媒体帖子。)”和后文“Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out. (其他人也是如此。而他们所隐藏的事实是,无聊、孤独和不愉快的家务是每个人生活中不可避免的一部分,你不是唯一一个被忽略的人。)”可知,呈现在社交媒体上一般都是经过选择过的,代表生活美好方面的。所以选择项G“Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life (你有没有选择过一些照片,让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论?)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
19.空处为本段主题句,根据后文“You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. (你可能不是高档派对的常客,也不是攀登令人眼花缭乱的高峰的人,但你有健康的身体,有居住的地方,有真正的朋友,他们会欣赏你在他们生活中的存在。)”可知,本段主要介绍要学会欣赏积极的事物。所以选择项C“Learn to appreciate the positives. (学会欣赏积极的事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
20.根据前句“We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter (我们每天都被别人完美的照片淹没,但说真的,这有什么关系呢 )”可知,我们不能社交媒体上的完美照片的影响,因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选择项E“They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show. (它们可能并不比最有趣的电视真人秀更真实。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

【答案】36.which 37.was listed 38.its 39.originally 40.as 41.length 42.to offer 43.greedy 44.or 45.wonders
【解析】36.考查定语从句。句意:作为中国古代文明的象征,长城是世界上最古老、最壮丽的人造景观之一,有着悠久的历史。分析句子结构和意思可知, has a long history是非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Great Wall,指物,在从句中作主语,用which引导。故填which。
37.考查谓语动词。句意:鉴于其卓越的建筑成就和显著的历史影响,长城于1987年被列为联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产,是中国第一个被列为世界文化遗产的长城。分析句子结构和意思可知,句中有时间状语in1987,此处应该用一般过去时,the Great Wall和动词list构成了逻辑上的动宾关系,所以本空要用一般过去时的被动语态,be动词用was。故填was listed。
38.考查代词。句意:见第2题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里需要用形容词性物主代词,修饰后面的名词kind,the first of its kind in China意为“中国的第一个此类项目”。故填its。
39.考查副词。句意:长城始建于2000多年前的西周时期,是一座功能强大的军事防御工事。分析句子结构和意思可知,本空要用副词originally来修饰谓语动词was built。故填originally。
40.考查动词短语。句意:见第4题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里考查动词短语serve as,意为“用作,充当”。故填as。
41.考查名词。句意:因为它的长度是21196.18公里,因此,它被广泛命名为“万里长城”。分析句子结构和意思可知,本空应该填long的名词形式,作主语。故填length。
42.考查非谓语动词。句意:长城是一个历史悠久的地方,有很多东西可以提供给你。分析句子结构和意思可知,have sth. to do是常见用法,意为“为某事要被做”,这里动词不定式用主动形式表达变动的意思。故填to offer。
43.考查形容词。句意:对于那些对它着迷并渴望了解它的人来说,你会发现关于它、历史发展、背景故事以及它的事实和数字的大量信息。分析句子结构和意思可知,本空需要填形容词greedy,和前面的are构成系表结构。故填greedy。
44.考查连词。句意:无论你是热爱历史的旅行者还是自然景观的爱好者,你都不会厌倦世界七大奇迹之一的长城。分析句子结构和意思可知,whether…or…是常见结构,意为“不管……还是……”。故填or。

第二节(满分25分)
47.【答案】Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I folded the newspaper, put it away in the drawer and tried to ignore what I saw. However, trapped in the dilemma of choice, I hesitated whether I should hide the truth. It was not long before my husband and daughters came home and started to have fun with Molly. At the sight of the scene that they were playing happily, I couldn’t help thinking about the owner’s sincere lost-dog ad. Though it would be pretty hard to part with Molly, my moral code told me to make the right choice.
I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy they were desperately seeking. I quickly dialed the number and then came a woman’s voice. After explaining the situation of Molly, I could feel the embarrassing silence in the phone. Suddenly, she broke the embarrassing air and suggested that our families should raise Molly together. My parting pain gave way to excitement on the spot. I couldn’t say a word to describe my gratitude. In the following days, my daughters accepted to give Molly back and kept playing with Molly. We all knew that we did the right thing.
【解析】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“相反,我假装没有看到广告。”可知,第一段可描写作者选择假装没见到广告后的内心活动,并结合第二段提示的内容,此处应描述矛盾的内心。
②由第二段首句内容“我心里知道,我必须打那个电话,看看我们的莫莉是不是他们拼命寻找的那只小狗。”可知,第二段可描写作者决定归还这只宠物狗时的心里状态,以及联系上失去宠物狗的主人后双方做了什么。
2.续写线索:假装没见到广告——内心受到谴责——打电话联系失主——双方决定共同照顾小狗——作者一家的感悟
