Some books are action-packed, urging readers to turn the page and find out what happens next. Other books invite readers to engage with the characters and pull readers into their stories. Wonder, by R. J. Palacio, is the latter. In fact, very little “action” happens within its pages, yet its anti-bullying and self-acceptance message is well received by readers.
Auggie feels like an ordinary boy but his face is what scares kids and makes people stare. After reconstructive surgeries, Auggie is sent to a mainstream school. Though the idea terrifies Auggie, he bravely gives it a go. Students laugh at him and start a game called Plague, in which people “catch” a “disease” once touching Auggie. However, Auggie does make close friends: Summer, who likes Auggie for who he is, and Jack, who starts out as Auggie’s “assigned” friend. Later, a “war” starts at school, with popular boys against Auggie and his friends. Luckily, through thick and thin, Auggie manages to fit in at school.
It’s the straightforward manner in which Palacio approaches her topic that makes this an excellent book. Auggie might have an extraordinary face, but he’s a regular kid, and that makes him relatable (引起共鸣的). Palacio also shifts her point of view, telling the story through the eyes of characters other than Auggie. This allows readers to know other characters and their standpoint, like Auggie’s sister who talks about the way her brother takes up the family’s attention.
Even though Wonder is recommended for children, the book’s theme makes it interesting for a wider audience. Palacio thought of the idea for Wonder when she and her children were on vacation. While there, they saw a young girl who had a condition similar to Auggie’s. Her children reacted impolitely, which got Palacio thinking about what the girl went through on a daily basis and how she could have better taught her children to respond to similar situations.
4. Which aspect of the book is talked about in paragraph 1
A. Its characters. B. Its readers.
C. Its storyline. D. Its feature.
5. What can be inferred about the game Plague
A. It may reveal students’ medical conditions.
B. It may put Auggie in an awkward situation.
C. It may be approved by the teaching staff.
D. It may help others get familiar with Auggie.
6. Which contributes to making the book excellent
A. The direct and clear delivery of the theme.
B. The contrary positions taken by its characters.
C. The relatable characters with regular looks.
D. The vivid description of the teenage period.
7. What inspired the author to write the book
A. A case study about girls. B. An official business trip.
C. A previous life experience. D. A rare incident in school.
C
When Christopher Mazurek realizes he’s dreaming, it’s always the small stuff that tips him off. The first time it happened, Mazurek was a freshman at Northwestern University. In the dream, he found himself in a campus dining hall. It was winter, but Mazurek wasn’t wearing his favorite coat. “I realized that, OK, if I don’t have the coat, I must be dreaming,” Mazurek says. That epiphany (顿悟) rocked the dream like an earthquake. “Gravity shifted, and I was flung down a hallway that seemed to go on for miles,” he says. “My left arm disappeared, and then I woke up.”
Most people rarely if ever realize that they’re dreaming while it’s happening, which is known as lucid (清醒的) dreaming. But some enthusiasts have developed techniques to become self-aware in their sleep and even wrest some control over their dream selves and settings.
Other lucid dreamers have used their personal virtual realities to explore their subconscious minds for insights or feast on junk food without real-world consequences. But now, scientists have a new job for lucid dreamers: To explore their dreamscapes and report out in real time. “The special thing about lucid dreaming is that you can get even closer to dream content and in a much more controlled and systematic fashion,” says Martin Dresler, a cognitive neuroscientist. Lucid dreamers who can perform assigned tasks and communicate with researchers during a dream open up ideal opportunities to study an otherwise untouchable field. They are like the astronauts of the dream world, serving as envoys (使者) to the mysterious inner spaces created by sleeping minds.
So far, tests in very small groups of lucid dreamers suggest that the strange realities we visit in sleep may be experienced more like the real world than imagined ones. With more envoys participating, researchers hope to find out how sleeping brains construct their complex, often unusual plots and set pieces. Besides satisfying age-old curiosity, this work may point to new ways to treat nightmares. Lucid dream studies could also offer clues about how dreams contribute to creativity, controlling emotions or other cognitive jobs — helping solve the grand mystery of why we dream.
8. What made Christopher Mazurek realize he was dreaming
A. He obtained a favorite coat by himself.
B. He found himself wearing the wrong clothes.
C. He noticed part of his left arm disappeared.
D. He had an accident in the hallway.
9. What can we know about lucid dreaming
A. People can have some control in lucid dreaming.
B. It’s all about exploring subconscious thoughts.
C. Dreamers can do whatever they want in lucid dreaming.
D It enables researchers to serve as envoys to sleeping minds.
10. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. How dreamers take advantage of lucid dreams.
B. Why people can realize they are dreaming.
C. How researchers make use of lucid dreamers.
D. Why astronauts can serve as envoys to the inner spaces.
11. What potential benefits do lucid dream studies offer according to the article
A. Treating nightmares and satisfying curiosity.
B. Solving the mystery of why we sleep.
C. Developing ways to improve creativity.
D. Controlling negative emotions.
D
Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry). You’re attracted by the performer on stage as he conveys his deepest thoughts to the room:
Today I bought you flowers,
How strange meanings can change,
What was once a symbol of joy is now one of pain,
A universal language for when you don’t know what to say.
The crowd is attentive but far from silent. Throughout the performance, you hear clapping and cheers, expressing approval of specific lines. And then the poem ends with thunderous applause and the poet returns to his seat. The performance has ended, but its energy continues to exist throughout the night.
Spoken word events are far from your standard poetry reading. Many people today think of poetry as a silent, individual act but it actually started as an oral (口头的) tradition. Before mass literacy, poems and stories were shared verbally and performed to the public. In modern times, mass media provided audiences with alternative means of entertainment and the art of storytelling declined. The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots.
The spoken word helps people achieve healing and emotional balance. It shares many benefits with written poetry, including helping us organize our thoughts, process our emotions and promote self-reflection. However, it’s not just the sharing of poetry that is healing. It’s the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry. Poets can be themselves in this safe space, where they avoid being judged and laughed at. The feeling of healing also applies to audience members who relate to the poet’s words. Hearing someone who is going through the same feelings or experiences that you are going through or have experienced in the past can make you feel less alone and more connected to others, knowing that the struggles are shared.
The spoken word is an unbelievably accessible art form. There are very few rules, and the form is interpreted fairly broadly. As long as you are performing an original piece which doesn’t include any offensive (冒犯的) content, it will be accepted at a spoken word event.
12. Why is the scene of a performance mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To draw readers’ attention to the spoken word.
B. To call on audience to participate in the event.
C. To inform the content of a spoken word event.
D. To highlight the importance of spoken word poetry.
13. What does the word “verbally” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. In private. B. On stage.
C. In spoken words. D. With enthusiasm.
14. What’s the core of spoken word poetry according to the passage
A. The sharing of individual poems among performers.
B. The same feelings and experiences connecting people.
C. The promotion of self-reflection and emotional balance.
D. The extent of relationships between the poets and audience.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. Reading Aloud in Public B. More Than Poetry Reading
C. A New Kind of Spoken Events D. The Popularity of the Spoken Word

●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.

Ava, a fifth-grader, longed for a cell phone like her peers but had to wait until she was thirteen. To persuade her parents, she penned an essay, demonstrating she was mature enough for a cell phone. Her parents, impressed, gave her an old phone.
“Ava,” her dad said seriously, “a cell phone isn’t just for fun and games. It’s a significant responsibility. You must keep your phone secure. You must silence it in public spaces. You must...” He listed all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone. But Ava, too busy with choosing the perfect wallpaper, downloading apps, and chatting with her best friend Sarah, only half-listened.
Over the weekend, Sarah’s mom took the girls to a movie. Normally Ava avoided horror films, but Sarah’s pleading words with funny memes (表情包) had somehow convinced Ava that the movie might actually be enjoyable. Before the movie started, Sarah’s mom instructed the girls to silence their phones out of respect for others. As the movie’s tension built, Ava found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable. “I need to go to the bathroom,” Ava whispered to Sarah.
After the movie, while waiting for Sarah’s mom to fetch the car, Ava felt a sinking feeling. “I can’t find my phone!” she shrieked, patting down all of her pockets. Panic-stricken, Ava searched her bag, yet her phone seemed to have vanished. Ava got into the car, her stomach in knots.
“Are you going to tell your parents ” Sarah whispered to Ava on their ride back. Ava was silent, her mind racing with the consequences. She could envision her parents’ disappointed faces and harsh words. She feared that this incident might lead to her parents taking away the privilege of having a phone altogether.
As they arrived, Ava climbed out of the car and trudged home, her heart heavy with what had happened.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Some books are action-packed, urging readers to turn the page and find out what happens next. Other books invite readers to engage with the characters and pull readers into their stories. Wonder, by R. J. Palacio, is the latter. In fact, very little “action” happens within its pages, yet its anti-bullying and self-acceptance message is well received by readers.
Auggie feels like an ordinary boy but his face is what scares kids and makes people stare. After reconstructive surgeries, Auggie is sent to a mainstream school. Though the idea terrifies Auggie, he bravely gives it a go. Students laugh at him and start a game called Plague, in which people “catch” a “disease” once touching Auggie. However, Auggie does make close friends: Summer, who likes Auggie for who he is, and Jack, who starts out as Auggie’s “assigned” friend. Later, a “war” starts at school, with popular boys against Auggie and his friends. Luckily, through thick and thin, Auggie manages to fit in at school.
It’s the straightforward manner in which Palacio approaches her topic that makes this an excellent book. Auggie might have an extraordinary face, but he’s a regular kid, and that makes him relatable (引起共鸣的). Palacio also shifts her point of view, telling the story through the eyes of characters other than Auggie. This allows readers to know other characters and their standpoint, like Auggie’s sister who talks about the way her brother takes up the family’s attention.
Even though Wonder is recommended for children, the book’s theme makes it interesting for a wider audience. Palacio thought of the idea for Wonder when she and her children were on vacation. While there, they saw a young girl who had a condition similar to Auggie’s. Her children reacted impolitely, which got Palacio thinking about what the girl went through on a daily basis and how she could have better taught her children to respond to similar situations.
4. Which aspect of the book is talked about in paragraph 1
A. Its characters. B. Its readers.
C. Its storyline. D. Its feature.
5. What can be inferred about the game Plague
A. It may reveal students’ medical conditions.
B. It may put Auggie in an awkward situation.
C. It may be approved by the teaching staff.
D. It may help others get familiar with Auggie.
6. Which contributes to making the book excellent
A. The direct and clear delivery of the theme.
B. The contrary positions taken by its characters.
C. The relatable characters with regular looks.
D. The vivid description of the teenage period.
7. What inspired the author to write the book
A. A case study about girls. B. An official business trip.
C. A previous life experience. D. A rare incident in school.

When Christopher Mazurek realizes he’s dreaming, it’s always the small stuff that tips him off. The first time it happened, Mazurek was a freshman at Northwestern University. In the dream, he found himself in a campus dining hall. It was winter, but Mazurek wasn’t wearing his favorite coat. “I realized that, OK, if I don’t have the coat, I must be dreaming,” Mazurek says. That epiphany (顿悟) rocked the dream like an earthquake. “Gravity shifted, and I was flung down a hallway that seemed to go on for miles,” he says. “My left arm disappeared, and then I woke up.”
Most people rarely if ever realize that they’re dreaming while it’s happening, which is known as lucid (清醒的) dreaming. But some enthusiasts have developed techniques to become self-aware in their sleep and even wrest some control over their dream selves and settings.
Other lucid dreamers have used their personal virtual realities to explore their subconscious minds for insights or feast on junk food without real-world consequences. But now, scientists have a new job for lucid dreamers: To explore their dreamscapes and report out in real time. “The special thing about lucid dreaming is that you can get even closer to dream content and in a much more controlled and systematic fashion,” says Martin Dresler, a cognitive neuroscientist. Lucid dreamers who can perform assigned tasks and communicate with researchers during a dream open up ideal opportunities to study an otherwise untouchable field. They are like the astronauts of the dream world, serving as envoys (使者) to the mysterious inner spaces created by sleeping minds.
So far, tests in very small groups of lucid dreamers suggest that the strange realities we visit in sleep may be experienced more like the real world than imagined ones. With more envoys participating, researchers hope to find out how sleeping brains construct their complex, often unusual plots and set pieces. Besides satisfying age-old curiosity, this work may point to new ways to treat nightmares. Lucid dream studies could also offer clues about how dreams contribute to creativity, controlling emotions or other cognitive jobs — helping solve the grand mystery of why we dream.
8. What made Christopher Mazurek realize he was dreaming
A. He obtained a favorite coat by himself.
B. He found himself wearing the wrong clothes.
C. He noticed part of his left arm disappeared.
D. He had an accident in the hallway.
9. What can we know about lucid dreaming
A. People can have some control in lucid dreaming.
B. It’s all about exploring subconscious thoughts.
C. Dreamers can do whatever they want in lucid dreaming.
D. It enables researchers to serve as envoys to sleeping minds.
10. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. How dreamers take advantage of lucid dreams.
B. Why people can realize they are dreaming.
C. How researchers make use of lucid dreamers.
D. Why astronauts can serve as envoys to the inner spaces.
11. What potential benefits do lucid dream studies offer according to the article
A. Treating nightmares and satisfying curiosity.
B. Solving the mystery of why we sleep.
C. Developing ways to improve creativity.
D. Controlling negative emotions.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A
D
Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry). You’re attracted by the performer on stage as he conveys his deepest thoughts to the room:
Today I bought you flowers,
How strange meanings can change,
What was once a symbol of joy is now one of pain,
A universal language for when you don’t know what to say.
The crowd is attentive but far from silent. Throughout the performance, you hear clapping and cheers, expressing approval of specific lines. And then the poem ends with thunderous applause and the poet returns to his seat. The performance has ended, but its energy continues to exist throughout the night.
Spoken word events are far from your standard poetry reading. Many people today think of poetry as a silent, individual act but it actually started as an oral (口头的) tradition. Before mass literacy, poems and stories were shared verbally and performed to the public. In modern times, mass media provided audiences with alternative means of entertainment and the art of storytelling declined. The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots.
The spoken word helps people achieve healing and emotional balance. It shares many benefits with written poetry, including helping us organize our thoughts, process our emotions and promote self-reflection. However, it’s not just the sharing of poetry that is healing. It’s the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry. Poets can be themselves in this safe space, where they avoid being judged and laughed at. The feeling of healing also applies to audience members who relate to the poet’s words. Hearing someone who is going through the same feelings or experiences that you are going through or have experienced in the past can make you feel less alone and more connected to others, knowing that the struggles are shared.
The spoken word is an unbelievably accessible art form. There are very few rules, and the form is interpreted fairly broadly. As long as you are performing an original piece which doesn’t include any offensive (冒犯的) content, it will be accepted at a spoken word event.
12. Why is the scene of a performance mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To draw readers’ attention to the spoken word.
B. To call on audience to participate in the event.
C. To inform the content of a spoken word event.
D. To highlight the importance of spoken word poetry.
13. What does the word “verbally” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. In private. B. On stage.
C. In spoken words. D. With enthusiasm.
14. What’s the core of spoken word poetry according to the passage
A. The sharing of individual poems among performers.
B. The same feelings and experiences connecting people.
C. The promotion of self-reflection and emotional balance.
D. The extent of relationships between the poets and audience.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. Reading Aloud in Public B. More Than Poetry Reading
C. A New Kind of Spoken Events D. The Popularity of the Spoken Word
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B

I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. ___16___ I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool.

●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
●___20___ Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging.

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。
Ava, a fifth-grader, longed for a cell phone like her peers but had to wait until she was thirteen. To persuade her parents, she penned an essay, demonstrating she was mature enough for a cell phone. Her parents, impressed, gave her an old phone.
“Ava,” her dad said seriously, “a cell phone isn’t just for fun and games. It’s a significant responsibility. You must keep your phone secure. You must silence it in public spaces. You must...” He listed all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone. But Ava, too busy with choosing the perfect wallpaper, downloading apps, and chatting with her best friend Sarah, only half-listened.
Over the weekend, Sarah’s mom took the girls to a movie. Normally Ava avoided horror films, but Sarah’s pleading words with funny memes (表情包) had somehow convinced Ava that the movie might actually be enjoyable. Before the movie started, Sarah’s mom instructed the girls to silence their phones out of respect for others. As the movie’s tension built, Ava found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable. “I need to go to the bathroom,” Ava whispered to Sarah.
After the movie, while waiting for Sarah’s mom to fetch the car, Ava felt a sinking feeling. “I can’t find my phone!” she shrieked, patting down all of her pockets. Panic-stricken, Ava searched her bag, yet her phone seemed to have vanished. Ava got into the car, her stomach in knots.
“Are you going to tell your parents ” Sarah whispered to Ava on their ride back. Ava was silent, her mind racing with the consequences. She could envision her parents’ disappointed faces and harsh words. She feared that this incident might lead to her parents taking away the privilege of having a phone altogether.
As they arrived, Ava climbed out of the car and trudged home, her heart heavy with what had happened.
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。
The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then her parents drove Ava back to the cinema. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. She knew she had to tell them about the lost phone, but words stuck in her throat. Recalling the trust they had put in her with the phone, Ava felt a pang of distress as she prepared to confess. “I…I’ve lost my phone.” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Her father’s brow furrowed. “Did it perhaps fall from your pocket during the movie Or could it have… ” Her mother inquired anxiously. When Ava admitted that, in her panic, she had forgotten to go back and search properly or ask for help, her parents exchanged a silent glance. “Accidents happen.” Her father assured her. “We’ll figure this out together.”
Then her parents drove her back to the cinema. They went to the reception desk and asked the cinema staff for help. It turned out that someone had turned the phone in to the front desk. They took the phone back. With a voice choked by emotion, Ava apologized to her father, “I know I messed up, Dad.” Placing a hand on her shoulder, her father told Ava that maturity wasn’t just about having a phone or not, but about how she handled situations, especially when they went wrong. “It comes along with a sense of responsibility. Remember to be responsible for your phone!” Her mother added, putting the phone back into Ava’s hand. As she held the device, she felt the familiar weight, a weight more significant than before.

Some books are action-packed, urging readers to turn the page and find out what happens next. Other books invite readers to engage with the characters and pull readers into their stories. Wonder, by R. J. Palacio, is the latter. In fact, very little “action” happens within its pages, yet its anti-bullying and self-acceptance message is well received by readers.
Auggie feels like an ordinary boy but his face is what scares kids and makes people stare. After reconstructive surgeries, Auggie is sent to a mainstream school. Though the idea terrifies Auggie, he bravely gives it a go. Students laugh at him and start a game called Plague, in which people “catch” a “disease” once touching Auggie. However, Auggie does make close friends: Summer, who likes Auggie for who he is, and Jack, who starts out as Auggie’s “assigned” friend. Later, a “war” starts at school, with popular boys against Auggie and his friends. Luckily, through thick and thin, Auggie manages to fit in at school.
It’s the straightforward manner in which Palacio approaches her topic that makes this an excellent book. Auggie might have an extraordinary face, but he’s a regular kid, and that makes him relatable (引起共鸣的). Palacio also shifts her point of view, telling the story through the eyes of characters other than Auggie. This allows readers to know other characters and their standpoint, like Auggie’s sister who talks about the way her brother takes up the family’s attention.
Even though Wonder is recommended for children, the book’s theme makes it interesting for a wider audience. Palacio thought of the idea for Wonder when she and her children were on vacation. While there, they saw a young girl who had a condition similar to Auggie’s. Her children reacted impolitely, which got Palacio thinking about what the girl went through on a daily basis and how she could have better taught her children to respond to similar situations.
4. Which aspect of the book is talked about in paragraph 1
A. Its characters. B. Its readers.
C. Its storyline. D. Its feature.
5. What can be inferred about the game Plague
A. It may reveal students’ medical conditions.
B. It may put Auggie in an awkward situation.
C. It may be approved by the teaching staff.
D. It may help others get familiar with Auggie.
6. Which contributes to making the book excellent
A. The direct and clear delivery of the theme.
B. The contrary positions taken by its characters.
C. The relatable characters with regular looks.
D. The vivid description of the teenage period.
7. What inspired the author to write the book
A. A case study about girls. B. An official business trip.
C. A previous life experience. D. A rare incident in school.

Most people rarely if ever realize that they’re dreaming while it’s happening, which is known as lucid (清醒的) dreaming. But some enthusiasts have developed techniques to become self-aware in their sleep and even wrest some control over their dream selves and settings.
Other lucid dreamers have used their personal virtual realities to explore their subconscious minds for insights or feast on junk food without real-world consequences. But now, scientists have a new job for lucid dreamers: To explore their dreamscapes and report out in real time. “The special thing about lucid dreaming is that you can get even closer to dream content and in a much more controlled and systematic fashion,” says Martin Dresler, a cognitive neuroscientist. Lucid dreamers who can perform assigned tasks and communicate with researchers during a dream open up ideal opportunities to study an otherwise untouchable field. They are like the astronauts of the dream world, serving as envoys (使者) to the mysterious inner spaces created by sleeping minds.
So far, tests in very small groups of lucid dreamers suggest that the strange realities we visit in sleep may be experienced more like the real world than imagined ones. With more envoys participating, researchers hope to find out how sleeping brains construct their complex, often unusual plots and set pieces. Besides satisfying age-old curiosity, this work may point to new ways to treat nightmares. Lucid dream studies could also offer clues about how dreams contribute to creativity, controlling emotions or other cognitive jobs — helping solve the grand mystery of why we dream.

Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry). You’re attracted by the performer on stage as he conveys his deepest thoughts to the room:
Today I bought you flowers,
How strange meanings can change,
What was once a symbol of joy is now one of pain,
A universal language for when you don’t know what to say.
The crowd is attentive but far from silent. Throughout the performance, you hear clapping and cheers, expressing approval of specific lines. And then the poem ends with thunderous applause and the poet returns to his seat. The performance has ended, but its energy continues to exist throughout the night.
Spoken word events are far from your standard poetry reading. Many people today think of poetry as a silent, individual act but it actually started as an oral (口头的) tradition. Before mass literacy, poems and stories were shared verbally and performed to the public. In modern times, mass media provided audiences with alternative means of entertainment and the art of storytelling declined. The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots.
The spoken word helps people achieve healing and emotional balance. It shares many benefits with written poetry, including helping us organize our thoughts, process our emotions and promote self-reflection. However, it’s not just the sharing of poetry that is healing. It’s the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry. Poets can be themselves in this safe space, where they avoid being judged and laughed at. The feeling of healing also applies to audience members who relate to the poet’s words. Hearing someone who is going through the same feelings or experiences that you are going through or have experienced in the past can make you feel less alone and more connected to others, knowing that the struggles are shared.
The spoken word is an unbelievably accessible art form. There are very few rules, and the form is interpreted fairly broadly. As long as you are performing an original piece which doesn’t include any offensive (冒犯的) content, it will be accepted at a spoken word event.
12. Why is the scene of a performance mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To draw readers’ attention to the spoken word.
B. To call on audience to participate in the event.
C. To inform the content of a spoken word event.
D. To highlight the importance of spoken word poetry.
13. What does the word “verbally” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. In private. B. On stage.
C. In spoken words. D. With enthusiasm.
14. What’s the core of spoken word poetry according to the passage
A. The sharing of individual poems among performers.
B. The same feelings and experiences connecting people.
C. The promotion of self-reflection and emotional balance.
D. The extent of relationships between the poets and audience.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. Reading Aloud in Public B. More Than Poetry Reading
C. A New Kind of Spoken Events D. The Popularity of the Spoken Word

Ava, a fifth-grader, longed for a cell phone like her peers but had to wait until she was thirteen. To persuade her parents, she penned an essay, demonstrating she was mature enough for a cell phone. Her parents, impressed, gave her an old phone.
“Ava,” her dad said seriously, “a cell phone isn’t just for fun and games. It’s a significant responsibility. You must keep your phone secure. You must silence it in public spaces. You must...” He listed all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone. But Ava, too busy with choosing the perfect wallpaper, downloading apps, and chatting with her best friend Sarah, only half-listened.
Over the weekend, Sarah’s mom took the girls to a movie. Normally Ava avoided horror films, but Sarah’s pleading words with funny memes (表情包) had somehow convinced Ava that the movie might actually be enjoyable. Before the movie started, Sarah’s mom instructed the girls to silence their phones out of respect for others. As the movie’s tension built, Ava found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable. “I need to go to the bathroom,” Ava whispered to Sarah.
After the movie, while waiting for Sarah’s mom to fetch the car, Ava felt a sinking feeling. “I can’t find my phone!” she shrieked, patting down all of her pockets. Panic-stricken, Ava searched her bag, yet her phone seemed to have vanished. Ava got into the car, her stomach in knots.
“Are you going to tell your parents ” Sarah whispered to Ava on their ride back. Ava was silent, her mind racing with the consequences. She could envision her parents’ disappointed faces and harsh words. She feared that this incident might lead to her parents taking away the privilege of having a phone altogether.
As they arrived, Ava climbed out of the car and trudged home, her heart heavy with what had happened.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150 个左右;

Some books are action-packed, urging readers to turn the page and find out what happens next. Other books invite readers to engage with the characters and pull readers into their stories. Wonder, by R. J. Palacio, is the latter. In fact, very little “action” happens within its pages, yet its anti-bullying and self-acceptance message is well received by readers.
Auggie feels like an ordinary boy but his face is what scares kids and makes people stare. After reconstructive surgeries, Auggie is sent to a mainstream school. Though the idea terrifies Auggie, he bravely gives it a go. Students laugh at him and start a game called Plague, in which people “catch” a “disease” once touching Auggie. However, Auggie does make close friends: Summer, who likes Auggie for who he is, and Jack, who starts out as Auggie’s “assigned” friend. Later, a “war” starts at school, with popular boys against Auggie and his friends. Luckily, through thick and thin, Auggie manages to fit in at school.
It’s the straightforward manner in which Palacio approaches her topic that makes this an excellent book. Auggie might have an extraordinary face, but he’s a regular kid, and that makes him relatable (引起共鸣的). Palacio also shifts her point of view, telling the story through the eyes of characters other than Auggie. This allows readers to know other characters and their standpoint, like Auggie’s sister who talks about the way her brother takes up the family’s attention.
Even though Wonder is recommended for children, the book’s theme makes it interesting for a wider audience. Palacio thought of the idea for Wonder when she and her children were on vacation. While there, they saw a young girl who had a condition similar to Auggie’s. Her children reacted impolitely, which got Palacio thinking about what the girl went through on a daily basis and how she could have better taught her children to respond to similar situations.
4. Which aspect of the book is talked about in paragraph 1
A. Its characters. B. Its readers.
C. Its storyline. D. Its feature.
5. What can be inferred about the game Plague
A. It may reveal students’ medical conditions.
B. It may put Auggie in an awkward situation.
C. It may be approved by the teaching staff.
D. It may help others get familiar with Auggie.
6. Which contributes to making the book excellent
A. The direct and clear delivery of the theme.
B. The contrary positions taken by its characters.
C. The relatable characters with regular looks.
D. The vivid description of the teenage period.
7. What inspired the author to write the book
A. A case study about girls. B. An official business trip.
C. A previous life experience. D. A rare incident in school.

When Christopher Mazurek realizes he’s dreaming, it’s always the small stuff that tips him off. The first time it happened, Mazurek was a freshman at Northwestern University. In the dream, he found himself in a campus dining hall. It was winter, but Mazurek wasn’t wearing his favorite coat. “I realized that, OK, if I don’t have the coat, I must be dreaming,” Mazurek says.

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。
Ava, a fifth-grader, longed for a cell phone like her peers but had to wait until she was thirteen. To persuade her parents, she penned an essay, demonstrating she was mature enough for a cell phone. Her parents, impressed, gave her an old phone.
“Ava,” her dad said seriously, “a cell phone isn’t just for fun and games. It’s a significant responsibility. You must keep your phone secure. You must silence it in public spaces. You must...” He listed all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone. But Ava, too busy with choosing the perfect wallpaper, downloading apps, and chatting with her best friend Sarah, only half-listened.
Over the weekend, Sarah’s mom took the girls to a movie. Normally Ava avoided horror films, but Sarah’s pleading words with funny memes (表情包) had somehow convinced Ava that the movie might actually be enjoyable. Before the movie started, Sarah’s mom instructed the girls to silence their phones out of respect for others. As the movie’s tension built, Ava found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable. “I need to go to the bathroom,” Ava whispered to Sarah.
After the movie, while waiting for Sarah’s mom to fetch the car, Ava felt a sinking feeling. “I can’t find my phone!” she shrieked, patting down all of her pockets. Panic-stricken, Ava searched her bag, yet her phone seemed to have vanished. Ava got into the car, her stomach in knots.
“Are you going to tell your parents ” Sarah whispered to Ava on their ride back. Ava was silent, her mind racing with the consequences. She could envision her parents’ disappointed faces and harsh words. She feared that this incident might lead to her parents taking away the privilege of having a phone altogether.
As they arrived, Ava climbed out of the car and trudged home, her heart heavy with what had happened.
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。
The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then her parents drove Ava back to the cinema. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. She knew she had to tell them about the lost phone, but words stuck in her throat. Recalling the trust they had put in her with the phone, Ava felt a pang of distress as she prepared to confess. “I…I’ve lost my phone.” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Her father’s brow furrowed. “Did it perhaps fall from your pocket during the movie Or could it have… ” Her mother inquired anxiously. When Ava admitted that, in her panic, she had forgotten to go back and search properly or ask for help, her parents exchanged a silent glance. “Accidents happen.” Her father assured her. “We’ll figure this out together.”
Then her parents drove her back to the cinema. They went to the reception desk and asked the cinema staff for help. It turned out that someone had turned the phone in to the front desk. They took the phone back. With a voice choked by emotion, Ava apologized to her father, “I know I messed up, Dad.” Placing a hand on her shoulder, her father told Ava that maturity wasn’t just about having a phone or not, but about how she handled situations, especially when they went wrong. “It comes along with a sense of responsibility. Remember to be responsible for your phone!” Her mother added, putting the phone back into Ava’s hand. As she held the device, she felt the familiar weight, a weight more significant than before.
