In this new digital era, farmers are finding ways to evolve with the times while still holding fast to their traditions.
In the quiet and excluded parts of rural China, Xiang Qing, a man born in 1990, leads a life quite unlike the bustling (熙熙攘攘的) urban existence that defines modernity. His home is Guzhang county, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, which is located deep in western Hunan province. Xiang Qing and his 23-year-old nephew, Xiang Hong, jointly operate a video channel called “Shan Bai”. Through their videos, they showcase handicrafts and rural life in China, captivating (迷住) many young urban viewers.
“Life here unfolds at its own pace. We cultivate crops and vegetables and occasionally purchase meat at the market,” Xiang Qing said. “I’ve come across numerous comments from people who watch our videos while lying in bed at night after a busy day of work, finding them truly relaxing and comforting. I think it’s fantastic, and it’s in line with our initial intentions.”
Five years ago, Xiang Qing resigned from his job as a customer service representative in Shanghai and returned to his hometown in Guzhang county, embarking on (开始) a new journey as a video blogger. “Back in 2012, when I was a college student, film-making aroused my passion, and it has continued to be a profound and enduring interest,” he said.
Following in his uncle’s footsteps, Xiang Hong made the same life-altering decision. Having graduated from college last year, he also returned to his hometown in April from Changde, a city in Hunan, and ventured into the world of video production alongside his uncle.
Now their video channel Shan Bai bas attracted more than 59.8 million followers. Xiang Qing conceptualizes, films, and edits the videos himself. Xiang Hong serves as the video presenter. Long Lingling, Xiang Qing’s wife, manages the day-to-day operations of the video account, and other family members also contribute to the video production process in different ways.
24. Why do Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong take video bloggers as their career
A. To pursue personal fame and wealth. B. To financially support their whole family.
C. To continue their passion for film-making. D. To promote the lifestyle in their hometown.
25. What can we learn about Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong
A. Xiang Qing inspires Xiang Hong in career-making.
B. They quit their first job and altered to video making.
C. They reached a decision of returning to hometown together.
D. They engage in each step of the video production process.
26. Which of the following can best describe Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong
A. Devoted and creative. B. Humorous and optimistic.
C. Modest and responsible. D. Ambitious and demanding.
27. Where is the text most probably taken from

Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.
The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two kinds of memory tests are part of an intelligence test.
The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking. A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes.
The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
28. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “______”.
A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement
29. Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3
A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.
B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.
C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.
D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.
30. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in ______.
A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings
B. Facts About Cell Phone Use at School
C. Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens
D. Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems
D
Where do great musicians, great mathematicians and great sportspeople get their talent For decades now, we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest. But scientists now believe that there was a good deal of truth in what he said.
Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence - a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. But now it is accepted that our genes interact with their surroundings, getting turned on and off all the time. “There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,” explains Michael Meaney of McGill University. “And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes. They work alongside each other.”
How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. They could have turned out entirely different people. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”
32. What did Ted Williams think led to his success
A. His natural talent. B. His full commitment.
C. His modest personality. D. His extraordinary intelligence.
33. What did we widely believe during the 20 century
A. Intelligence has little to do with DNA.
B. Our genes interact with our environment.
C. The majority of us are of average intelligence.
D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
34. Why does the author mention “Lionel Messi” and “Lebron James” in paragraph 3
A. To clarify a viewpoint. B. To explain a rule.
C. To offer a solution. D. To make a prediction.
35. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with
A. Most of us are born to be average persons.
B. We could all be geniuses if working hard enough.
C. Genetic factors are more important than hard work.
D. Great talent is a combination of genes and practice.

Chris and Paul were good friends and on the same school basketball team, The Lions. They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA. After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one.
Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chirs’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points.

I think it’s fantastic, and it’s in line with our initial intentions.’(‘这里的生活以它自己的节奏展开。我们会种植农作物和蔬菜，偶尔也会在市场上买肉。’向清说，‘我看到很多人的评论，他们在忙碌的一天工作之后，晚上躺在床上看了我们的视频，觉得真的很放松和治愈。我认为这太棒了，这也符合我们最初的意图。’)”可知，他们成为视频博主的原因是为了推广自己家乡的生活方式，让观众们也能从视频中感受他们的日常生活，并获得一些放松的体验。故选D项。

Xiang Qing conceptualizes, films, and edits the videos himself. Xiang Hong serves as the video presenter. (现在，他们的视频频道Shan Bai已经吸引了5980多万粉丝。向清自己构思、拍摄和编辑视频。向洪担任视频主持人)”可知，向清和向洪选择了一条创新的道路来推广家乡，同时从他们对自己所做的视频的描述中，可以看出来他们是专心致力于这个工作并享受其中。故选A项。

30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear. (处理形状记忆能力的部位在右耳附近。)”可知，根据这项研究，使用手机对着右耳的青少年在记忆形状方面做得更差。故选C。

(在一项记忆力测试中，经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前的青少年得分更低。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究发现，经常将手机举到右耳前打电话的青少年在图形记忆测试中的得分较低，这一现象可能与手机辐射对大脑右侧记忆中心的潜在影响有关，因此本文最好的题目是D选项“Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems (青少年使用手机与记忆问题有关)”。故选D。
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了一人的基因对人的天赋起到作用，但是周围的环境和后天的努力也会有影响。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段中“When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest.

33.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. (在上个世纪，人们普遍认为，我们通过DNA从父母那里继承了许多特征，我们每个人都继承了固定的智力——固定的智商，我们大多数人都是平凡的)”可知，在20世纪，我们普遍相信我们大多数人的智力一般。故选C项。
34.推理判断题。根据第三段“How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. (这种关于基因作用的观点如何改变我们对个人天赋和能力的理解？这是否意味着基因不重要，我们都有成为莱昂内尔·梅西或勒布朗·詹姆斯那样的潜力？这样的说法完全违背理性。我们遗传的基因显然很重要，个体之间的基因差异也很重要。但同样不可否认的是，如果没有成千上万小时的训练，莱昂内尔 梅西(Lionel Messi)就不会成为现在的超级足球运动员，勒布朗 詹姆斯(Lebron James)也不会成为篮球巨星)”可知，作者提到“莱昂内尔·梅西”和“勒布朗·詹姆斯”是为了阐明一个观点。故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”(人才研究人员Kevin Rathunde对此表示赞同。他在《天才少年》一书中写道：“学业成绩优异的人不一定天生就比别人聪明，但基因确实很重要。最重要的是，他们通常更努力学习，更自律。”)”可知，Kevin Rathunde认为伟大的才能是基因和实践的结合。故选D项。
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一系列帮助人们开始艺术之旅的方法。
36.下文“It’s definitely not impossible, however. (然而，这绝对不是不可能的)”提到，成为自学成才的艺术家并非不可能，空处和下文是转折关系，故是讲述自学成才的艺术家虽然困难，但是并非不可能，C项“成为一名自学成才的艺术家并不容易”符合语境。故选C。
37.下文“Give yourself a foundation with art skills. Art fundamentals, like perspective, anatomy (解剖), and composition are important building blocks in your art career. These skills may seem basic, but they’ll make a big difference in your future art pieces. (给自己打下艺术功底。艺术基础，如透视、解剖和构图，是你艺术生涯中重要的组成部分。这些技能可能看起来很基本，但它们会对你未来的艺术作品产生很大的影响)”说明本段介绍的方法是注重基础，基础技能会对未来的艺术作品产生很大影响，A项中basics是关键词，A项“学习基础知识”引出下文内容，适合作为段落标题句。故选A。
38.上文“Search online for classes run by professional artists — these are great, hands-on ways to improve your skills. A lot of professional classes cost money. (在线搜索由专业艺术家开办的课程——这些都是提高你技能的好方法。很多专业课程都要花钱)”说明很多课程需要花钱，E项中classes是关键词，E项“然而，一些大学提供免费的艺术课程”与上文形成转折关系，进一步提供更优化的建议，符合题意。故选E。
39.上文“Inquire about feedback. (询问反馈)”以及下文“Friends or art acquaintances can be a big help. They can help point out areas of improvement, so you know what to focus on in the future. (朋友或艺术界的熟人可以提供很大帮助。他们可以帮助你指出需要改进的地方，这样你就知道未来要关注什么)”可知，本段介绍的方法是听取其他人的反馈和意见，F项“让另一双眼睛看看你的作品”具体介绍要让其他人看你的作品，承上启下，符合题意。故选F。
40.下文“Instead, love and accept your art for what it is instead of expecting it to be of professional caliber right away. (相反，要热爱并接受你的艺术，而不是期望它立即达到专业水平)”说明要热爱艺术，并接受你的艺术的程度，而不是期望它可以立刻达到专业的水平，D项“不要把你的艺术与真正的艺术家的艺术相比较”引出下文内容，说明只需要热爱艺术，不需要和专业水平的艺术家比较，符合题意。故选D。
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者某次求职失败，对方告诉作者的反馈是因为作者没有清楚地说明申请这个职位的目的，即对这份工作不感兴趣。于是从此作者开始仔细判断每一个工作空缺，以确保它真正符合自己兴趣。

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考答案：
How to Spend Time Properly
It’s my great honor to be here to deliver a speech. Time is more precious than any possessions. It is equal to everyone. How you spend that valuable time determines the quality of your life.
There are three rules for effective time management. Firstly, don’t try to work full-time and take a full load. Be reasonable about how much work you can do. Secondly, make a list of all the things that you need to get done in a given time. Put the tasks in order of importance and delete any unimportant items. Thirdly, avoid lack of focus. Personal phone calls and emails can easily disturb your workday progress.
Let’s make good use of time to make our life colorful and meaningful.
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“How to Spend Time Properly”为题，写一篇发言稿，说明恰当管理时间的意义，就如何恰当管理时间给出建议。

第二节
参考答案：
“You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee. The coach was very sad and told Chris that there were no more players. Then someone recommended Paul, but he said Paul couldn’t play. Meanwhile, another player also suggested letting Paul have a try. Then, Paul asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn’t let him down.
The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine.” Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practicing alone paid off. The other team couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, his team had won by two points. The coach was surprised at Paul’s performance. He smiled at Paul and said he’d earned his place on the team.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了克里斯和保罗这对好朋友都是篮球队队员，但是由于保罗不够高，他只能作为替补队员，在一次比赛中克里斯受伤无法继续比赛，在队友们的推荐下保罗上场展现了自己的实力，最终帮助球队赢得比赛的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“‘你不能再比赛了，’医生说，并把冰袋放在克里斯的膝盖上。”可知，第一段可描写克里斯不能比赛，大家推荐保罗上场。
②由第二段首句内容“教练表示同意，‘保罗，是让你发光的时候了。’”可知，第二段可描写保罗在赛场上发挥出色，帮助球队反败为胜。

【原文】
As a small child, I often wrote poems and short stories. My primary school teacher was impressed and would read my works to my classmates. I felt proud of my talent, and decided that one day I would become a famous writer. In high school, I continued to write and even started my first novel. I also wrote for the school newspaper, and for several years I had considered becoming a reporter. I began studying journalism and communication at university. But within a few months, I changed my mind. I was so busy with my studies that I didn’t have time to write fiction, and I really missed it. So, with the help of my professor, I changed my major and gained a literature degree, and I was much happier. After university, I got a job to write blogs for a small newspaper office. I continued my creative writing in my spare time and started to write science fiction. I often wondered if I’d ever finish it! But I was determined to succeed. It took me eight years in total to finish the fiction. And 2 months ago, I finally found a publisher for my book. It’s due to be published in 3 months! I can’t wait and I’m so glad that I never give up.

In this new digital era, farmers are finding ways to evolve with the times while still holding fast to their traditions.
In the quiet and excluded parts of rural China, Xiang Qing, a man born in 1990, leads a life quite unlike the bustling (熙熙攘攘的) urban existence that defines modernity. His home is Guzhang county, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, which is located deep in western Hunan province. Xiang Qing and his 23-year-old nephew, Xiang Hong, jointly operate a video channel called “Shan Bai”. Through their videos, they showcase handicrafts and rural life in China, captivating (迷住) many young urban viewers.
“Life here unfolds at its own pace. We cultivate crops and vegetables and occasionally purchase meat at the market,” Xiang Qing said. “I’ve come across numerous comments from people who watch our videos while lying in bed at night after a busy day of work, finding them truly relaxing and comforting. I think it’s fantastic, and it’s in line with our initial intentions.”
Five years ago, Xiang Qing resigned from his job as a customer service representative in Shanghai and returned to his hometown in Guzhang county, embarking on (开始) a new journey as a video blogger. “Back in 2012, when I was a college student, film-making aroused my passion, and it has continued to be a profound and enduring interest,” he said.
Following in his uncle’s footsteps, Xiang Hong made the same life-altering decision. Having graduated from college last year, he also returned to his hometown in April from Changde, a city in Hunan, and ventured into the world of video production alongside his uncle.
Now their video channel Shan Bai bas attracted more than 59.8 million followers. Xiang Qing conceptualizes, films, and edits the videos himself. Xiang Hong serves as the video presenter. Long Lingling, Xiang Qing’s wife, manages the day-to-day operations of the video account, and other family members also contribute to the video production process in different ways.
24. Why do Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong take video bloggers as their career
A. To pursue personal fame and wealth. B. To financially support their whole family.
C. To continue their passion for film-making. D. To promote the lifestyle in their hometown.
25. What can we learn about Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong
A. Xiang Qing inspires Xiang Hong in career-making.
B. They quit their first job and altered to video making.
C. They reached a decision of returning to hometown together.
D. They engage in each step of the video production process.
26. Which of the following can best describe Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong
A. Devoted and creative. B. Humorous and optimistic.
C. Modest and responsible. D. Ambitious and demanding.
27. Where is the text most probably taken from

Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go.
The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two kinds of memory tests are part of an intelligence test.
The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking. A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes.
The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
28. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “______”.
A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement
29. Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3
A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total.
B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones.
C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones.
D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.
30. According to the study, teens who use their phones to their right ears a lot do worse in ______.
A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings
B. Facts About Cell Phone Use at School
C. Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens
D. Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems
D
Where do great musicians, great mathematicians and great sportspeople get their talent For decades now, we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest. But scientists now believe that there was a good deal of truth in what he said.
Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence - a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. But now it is accepted that our genes interact with their surroundings, getting turned on and off all the time. “There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,” explains Michael Meaney of McGill University. “And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes. They work alongside each other.”
How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. They could have turned out entirely different people. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”
32. What did Ted Williams think led to his success
A. His natural talent. B. His full commitment.
C. His modest personality. D. His extraordinary intelligence.
33. What did we widely believe during the 20 century
A. Intelligence has little to do with DNA.
B. Our genes interact with our environment.
C. The majority of us are of average intelligence.
D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
34. Why does the author mention “Lionel Messi” and “Lebron James” in paragraph 3
A. To clarify a viewpoint. B. To explain a rule.
C. To offer a solution. D. To make a prediction.
35. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with
A. Most of us are born to be average persons.
B. We could all be geniuses if working hard enough.
C. Genetic factors are more important than hard work.
D. Great talent is a combination of genes and practice.

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。
Chris and Paul were good friends and on the same school basketball team, The Lions. They loved basketball very much and were both huge fans of the NBA. After school, when they weren’t playing on the court which was next to their building, they were watching a basketball game on TV. Chris’s favourite player was LeBron James. Paul’s favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, although they actually agreed that they were both champions.
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA. Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. He did not miss a single practice and participated in every training. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said firmly, “If Bogues could make it, why not me ”
Their coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. Chris always comforted him and encouraged him, telling him not to give up. However, Paul didn’t get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing against their main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn’t lost a single game. It would be a tough one.
Everyone of the Lions played to the best of their abilities. Suddenly, a player and Chris crashed into each other. Pain raced through Chirs’s body. His knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried. The last quarter was about to begin, and The Lions was behind by 10 points.

33.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. (在上个世纪，人们普遍认为，我们通过DNA从父母那里继承了许多特征，我们每个人都继承了固定的智力——固定的智商，我们大多数人都是平凡的)”可知，在20世纪，我们普遍相信我们大多数人的智力一般。故选C项。
34.推理判断题。根据第三段“How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. (这种关于基因作用的观点如何改变我们对个人天赋和能力的理解？这是否意味着基因不重要，我们都有成为莱昂内尔·梅西或勒布朗·詹姆斯那样的潜力？这样的说法完全违背理性。我们遗传的基因显然很重要，个体之间的基因差异也很重要。但同样不可否认的是，如果没有成千上万小时的训练，莱昂内尔 梅西(Lionel Messi)就不会成为现在的超级足球运动员，勒布朗 詹姆斯(Lebron James)也不会成为篮球巨星)”可知，作者提到“莱昂内尔·梅西”和“勒布朗·詹姆斯”是为了阐明一个观点。故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”(人才研究人员Kevin Rathunde对此表示赞同。他在《天才少年》一书中写道：“学业成绩优异的人不一定天生就比别人聪明，但基因确实很重要。最重要的是，他们通常更努力学习，更自律。”)”可知，Kevin Rathunde认为伟大的才能是基因和实践的结合。故选D项。

37.下文“Give yourself a foundation with art skills. Art fundamentals, like perspective, anatomy (解剖), and composition are important building blocks in your art career. These skills may seem basic, but they’ll make a big difference in your future art pieces.

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考答案：
How to Spend Time Properly
It’s my great honor to be here to deliver a speech. Time is more precious than any possessions. It is equal to everyone. How you spend that valuable time determines the quality of your life.
There are three rules for effective time management. Firstly, don’t try to work full-time and take a full load. Be reasonable about how much work you can do. Secondly, make a list of all the things that you need to get done in a given time. Put the tasks in order of importance and delete any unimportant items. Thirdly, avoid lack of focus. Personal phone calls and emails can easily disturb your workday progress.
Let’s make good use of time to make our life colorful and meaningful.

第二节
参考答案：
“You can’t play anymore,” the doctor said, putting an ice pack on Chris’s knee. The coach was very sad and told Chris that there were no more players. Then someone recommended Paul, but he said Paul couldn’t play. Meanwhile, another player also suggested letting Paul have a try. Then, Paul asked the coach to let him try and promised that he wouldn’t let him down.
The coach agreed, “Paul, it’s your time to shine.” Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he’d spent practicing alone paid off. The other team couldn’t keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn’t stop clapping and cheering. When the game ended, his team had won by two points. The coach was surprised at Paul’s performance. He smiled at Paul and said he’d earned his place on the team.

【原文】
As a small child, I often wrote poems and short stories. My primary school teacher was impressed and would read my works to my classmates. I felt proud of my talent, and decided that one day I would become a famous writer. In high school, I continued to write and even started my first novel. I also wrote for the school newspaper, and for several years I had considered becoming a reporter. I began studying journalism and communication at university. But within a few months, I changed my mind. I was so busy with my studies that I didn’t have time to write fiction, and I really missed it. So, with the help of my professor, I changed my major and gained a literature degree, and I was much happier. After university, I got a job to write blogs for a small newspaper office. I continued my creative writing in my spare time and started to write science fiction. I often wondered if I’d ever finish it! But I was determined to succeed. It took me eight years in total to finish the fiction. And 2 months ago, I finally found a publisher for my book. It’s due to be published in 3 months! I can’t wait and I’m so glad that I never give up.
