Africa-bound! And only seven hours left of a 19-hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair.
At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible.
After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English.
Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good
One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move.
All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward.The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight.
When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.”
That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club.
And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference.
24.What was the author’s unique challenge during this volunteer experience
A.Overcoming physical limitations.
B.Adapting to a new cultural environment.
C.Managing a long-term solo commitment.
D.Dealing with the harsh weather conditions.
25.How did the author feel in the first few weeks in South Africa

B.Satisfied with the progress made.
C.Uncertain about the effectiveness of his help.
D.Frustrated by the children’s lack of cooperation.
26.What was the turning point in the author’s relationship with the children

B.The author’s initial arrival in the village.
C.The author’s first teaching session.
D.The author’s struggle with the wheelchair.

As mankind puts the world’s largest living structure at risk, economists have come up with a new solution: put a price tag on it. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is bigger than Japan, visible from space and one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth. But it’s also at risk because of climate change, agricultural runoff, coastal development and illegal fishing.
Debate over its use is often polarized between strict protection and open development: champions of the former argue for its huge value and the latter very little. That’s partly why the Great Barrier Reef Foundation asked Deloitte Access Economics to value it. It came up with a value of AU $ 56 billion (US $ 43 billion) based on an asset supporting tens of thousands of jobs and which contributes AU $ 6.4 billion to the economy.
“Valuing nature in monetary terms can effectively inform policy settings and help industry, government, the scientific community and the wider public understand the contribution of the environment ... to the economy and society,” the Deloitte report said.
To assess the risks, scientists have been exposing coral communities to future ocean temperatures and carbon dioxide levels over long periods. The results show how the precious services to the ecosystem that reefs provide will change as the oceans get warmer. And that’s a direct threat to the region’s economy.
But the need to protect the Great Barrier Reef goes beyond dollars and cents. Its traditional owners have a connection over 60, 000 years, and its ecological and environmental functions are deeply rooted in their culture, the report says. Such values can’t just be put to numbers, it said.;
28.What might be the best title for the passage
A.What is the Great Barrier Reef
B.How much is the Great Barrier Reef worth
C.How to protect the Great Barrier Reef
D.Why is Great Barrier Reef at risk ;
29.The underlined word “polarized” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by .
A.popular B.similar C.divided D.heated;
30.Which of the following statements is NOT true
A.Australia’s Great Barrier Reef can be seen from space.
B.The reefs provide precious services to the ecosystem.
C.The need to protect the Great Barrier Reef goes beyond money.
D.All the people have agreed on the strict protection of the Great Barrier Reef.;
31.What’s the author’s attitude to the protection of the Great Barrier Reef
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving. C.Indifferent. D.Critical.
In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live concert lives on. People still fill sweaty basements to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together. They are also dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, from Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the experiment, participants lay in an MRI (核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain that process emotions. In the live condition pianists were instructed to change their playing in order to drive the activity in one of these regions known as the amygdala.
The results, just published in the journal PNAS, showed that live music had far more emotional impact. Whether the music was happy or sad, listening to the pianist playing in a dynamic way generated more activity in both the amygdala and other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network.
The study was far from reconstructing the real experience of a concert, and the authors noted that the live music ended up sounding quite different from the recorded tracks, which may have driven some of the differences in participant’s brain activity. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate the real concert experience with everything but the artist — ABBA Voyage is a social, immersive show performed entirely by pre-recorded hologram avatars (全息图). But without Benny’s (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room, it will never quite match the real thing.;
32.What caused the scientists to study music listeners’ brain response
A.People’s preference to recorded music. B.The important social function of concerts.
C.The changeable characteristic of live music. D.The easy accessibility of streaming services.;
33.How did the researchers carry out the experiment
A.By clarifying a concept. B.By making a comparison.
C.By analyzing previous data. D.By referring to another study.;
34.Why does live music feel better than recorded music
A.It offers a more traditional and raw sound. B.It engages the brain’s emotion centers more.
C.It fosters a sense of community and shared energy. D.It guarantees a deeper understanding of the music.;
35.What do we know from the last paragraph
A.The artists will be replaced by technology soon.
B.The immersive audio makes live music special.
C.The study recreated the experience of a real concert.
D.It is vital for musicians to read the audiences’ mind.
How to Stop Worrying about Being Perfect for Once
Hey, you. Perfectionist! Aren’t you tired I have some breaking news. You don’t have to be perfect all the time. The truth is, sometimes good enough is good enough. And you can relax a little bit. 36
36. Don’t jump to judgment.
We tend to focus on what’s going wrong in our work and lives over what’s going right. 37 So you don’t have to be so eager to put yourself down as a parent, employee, student, friend. Instead, just accept yourself as you are and focus on what is good.

39. 40
They don’t. We’re all just doing our best. And no one is doing anything perfectly. I joke that if you know the perfect family, it just means you don’t actually know them well enough. It’s true. Try to find any perfect person. I bet you my life savings you won’t be able to.

67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show ” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two The talent show for the food bank ” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

This, however, is not the most popular hobby, either. So, what is the most popular hobby in America Most surprisingly, the most popular hobby with the largest group of people is home gardening.

26.推理判断题。根据第六段“Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. (我从眼角看到孩子们向我跑来。两个年纪最大的抓住车把,其他人推着我往前走)”和第八段的“That echoed in my ears all day.(那些话在我耳边回响了一整天。)”以及最后一段的“And the day after that, it became our little routine.

I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa.( 第二天,这就成了我们的日常。他们帮我越多,我就越容易帮到他们。孩子们和我很亲密。我在非洲的那一年并不孤单。)”可知,孩子们自发的帮助是作者与南非孩子们关系转变的关键时刻。作者的轮椅陷入泥潭,孩子们跑来帮助他时,他们之间的关系开始有了质的变化。孩子们的行动不仅帮助作者摆脱了困境,也象征着他们之间互助的开始。故选A;
27.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. (他们帮我越多,我就越容易帮到他们。孩子们和我很亲密。我在非洲的那一年并不孤单。一点也不。我主动联系了我正在帮助的人,而他们反过来又成为了我的支持。我比以往任何时候都更加意识到,任何人,即使是坐在轮椅上,都可以带来改变)”可知,这篇文章的中心主题是互助的变革力量。作者通过自己的经历展示了即使在面临身体障碍和孤立无援的情况下,通过与他人的相互支持,也能实现个人成长和共同发展。故选B。

【解析】28.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“As mankind puts the world’s largest living structure at risk, economists have come up with a new solution: put a price tag on it.(当人类危及全世界最大的活体结构时,经济学家想出了一个新的解决方案:为这个结构贴上价格标签。)”可知,首段第一句话点明了文章主旨,当人类危及全世界最大的活体结构时,经济学家想出了一个新的解决方案:为这个结构贴上价格标签;结合文章下文内容可知,文章主要讨论如何为大堡礁估价的问题,B选项“How much is the Great Barrier Reef worth (大堡礁值多少钱?)”为最佳标题,故选B;
29.词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Debate over its use(关于其使用的争论)”以及后文的内容“between strict protection and open development: champions of the former argue for its huge value and the latter very little(在严格保护和开放发展之间:前者的支持者认为其价值巨大,而后者则很少)”可知,对于大堡礁的使用的辩论经常趋于两级化,一方主张严格保护,认为认为其价值巨大,另一方主张开发,认为其价值很少。划线词polarized意为“两极分化的,有分歧的”,与“divided”意思相近,故选C;
30.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is bigger than Japan, visible from space and one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth.(澳大利亚的大堡礁比日本大,从太空可以看到,是地球上最复杂的生态系统之一。)”可知,澳大利亚的大堡礁从太空可以看到,故A项正确;根据文章第四段“The results show how the precious services to the ecosystem that reefs provide will change as the oceans get warmer.(研究显示了,随着海洋变暖,珊瑚礁为生态系统提供的宝贵服务将会如何变化。)”可知,大堡礁为生态提供了宝贵的服务,故B项正确;根据文章最后一段“But the need to protect the Great Barrier Reef goes beyond dollars and cents.(但是保护大堡礁的需要远远超出了美元和美分。)”可知,保护大堡礁的需要远远超过了金钱,故C项正确;根据文章第二段“Debate over its use is often polarized between strict protection and open development(大堡礁的使用的辩论经常趋于两级化:一方主张严格保护;另一方主张开发)”可知,对于大堡礁的使用呈两级分化,故D项错误。故选D;
31.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But the need to protect the Great Barrier Reef goes beyond dollars and cents. Its traditional owners have a connection over 60, 000 years, and its ecological and environmental functions are deeply rooted in their culture, the report says. Such values can’t just be put to numbers, it said.(不过,保护大堡礁的必要性已经超越了金钱上的意义。报道指出,它的传统主人拥有一项超过六万年的链接,其生态与环境功能也深植于它们的文化里。报道说,这种价值是无法以数字来表达的。)”可知,作者认为保护大堡礁是无法用金钱去估计的,因此对大堡礁的保护持支持态度。故选A。

【解析】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together. They are also dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.(音乐会是一种沉浸式的社交体验,人们一起听音乐,感受音乐。他们也是动态的——艺术家可以根据人群的反应来调整他们的演奏)”以及第三段“It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, from Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music.(苏黎世大学和奥斯陆大学的神经科学家们正是因为这最后一种差异,才开始研究人们听音乐时大脑的反应)”可知,现场音乐多变的特点导致科学家们研究音乐听众的大脑反应。故选C;
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“In the experiment, participants lay in an MRI (核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.(在实验中,参与者躺在核磁共振扫描仪上,戴着耳机听音乐,而钢琴家则被安排在房间外面。作为一种反馈,钢琴师被展示了参与者的实时大脑活动。在录音条件下,参与者听预先录制的相同曲调)”可知,研究人员通过比较进行实验。故选B;
34.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The results, just published in the journal PNAS, showed that live music had far more emotional impact. Whether the music was happy or sad, listening to the pianist playing in a dynamic way generated more activity in both the amygdala and other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network.(刚刚发表在《美国科学院院刊》上的研究结果表明,现场音乐对情感的影响要大得多。无论音乐是快乐的还是悲伤的,听钢琴家以一种动态的方式演奏,都会在杏仁核和大脑情绪处理网络的其他部分产生更多的活动)”可知,现场音乐比录制音乐感觉更好因为它更能调动大脑的情感中心。故选B;
35.细节理解题。根据最后一段“But without Benny’s (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room, it will never quite match the real thing.(但如果没有本尼(乐队成员)解读房间气氛的能力,它永远不会与真实的东西完全匹配)”可知,对音乐家来说,读懂听众的心思是至关重要的。故选D。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国著名的剧作家、翻译家和作家杨绛的生平;
【解析】56.考查冠词。句意:她属于中国文学中一个独特而美丽的存在。existence意为“存在”,是可数名词,此处表示泛指,需用不定冠词,unique是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此要用a。故填a;
57.考查动词不定式。句意:她是第一位将塞万提斯的西班牙语小说《唐吉诃德》翻译成中文的中国学者,在当时,她的翻译被誉为是在忠实的基础上对原作的再创造。分析句子可知,此处为the first…to do sth,意为“第一个做某事的……”,所以此处为动词不定式作后置定语。故填to translate;
58.考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:她是第一位将塞万提斯的西班牙语小说《唐吉诃德》翻译成中文的中国学者,在当时,她的翻译被誉为是在忠实的基础上对原作的再创造。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,根据时间状语at that time可知,本句应为一般过去时;又因主语translation和honor之间为被动关系,所以空处应为一般过去时的被动语态结构,translation在本句中看作单数,谓语动词为单数形式。故填was honored;
59.考查介词。句意:她是第一位将塞万提斯的西班牙语小说《唐吉诃德》翻译成中文的中国学者,在当时,她的翻译被誉为是在忠实的基础上对原作的再创造。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语on the basis of“在……的基础之上”。故填on;
60.考查副词。句意:杨绛,1911年出生在一个富裕的家庭,原名杨季康。由副词修饰动词可知,此处为副词originally作状语修饰动词name。故填originally;

62.考查动词时态。句意:除了翻译作品,她还创作了许多戏剧、小说和散文。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,根据语境可知,此处为陈述过去发生的事情,为一般过去时。author编写,创造,此处为动词。故填authored;
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:1984年出版的短篇小说《老王》被选入教材。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰novel,novel和write为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式。故填written;
64.考查名词。句意:1986年,由于她在《堂吉诃德》中的成就,她获得了西班牙著名的文艺勋章——智慧国王阿方索十世勋章。根据空前的for可知,此处为名词形式,又此处表示不止一个成就,因此用复数形式。故填achievements;
65.考查定语从句。句意:2003年,她的畅销书《我们仨》在两个月内销量超过18万册。分析句子可知,此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词We Three在从句中作sales的定语成分,用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。

Dear Jim,
I am delighted to know you are interested in the sports meeting of my school. I am writing to share with you some relevant details about it.
Lasting two days, the annual sports meeting was held on the school playground last weekend, when the weather was pleasant and mild. There were a wide range of sports events, among which track and field made up a greater part. During the sports meeting, all the athletes spared no effort to compete for the honor of their classes. Besides the competitive games, some wonderful performances were put on as well, adding happiness and excitement to the atmosphere. In addition, what touched me most was the class relay races where each participant cooperated and tried their best to dash towards the finishing line.
We really had great fun during the sports meeting. Do you have the similar school sports event Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

67.【答案】
I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself.
Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person.
【分析】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向,不爱交际。偶然一次机会,学校组织学生参加才艺表演,同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加,这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕,Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台,面对紧急情况,作者只能自己独立完成表演。
【详解】1、 段落续写:
①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知,作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措,再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知,此时妈妈一定会及时出现,安慰作者并给作者勇气,让作者能独立完成表演。
②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知,作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张,但是作者天生有副好嗓子,随着表演深入,这种紧张感会消失,并且精彩地完成表演。
