第一节（满分 15 分）
A possible version:
Good morning, everyone! Our school plans to transform our school library into an online
platform to meet the needs of digital learning. I’d like to express my opinion on this proposal.
I believe this transformation requires careful consideration. While digital libraries are
convenient, many students are likely to miss the charm of physical books. Physical libraries
foster deep reading, critical thinking, and unexpected discoveries. Removing physical books
might put students at a disadvantage who learn best in a traditional environment.
Thus, I suggest a combination of both means — a mixed model. It’s a wise idea to
digitize textbooks and journals for easy access, but keep classic literature in print in the
meantime.
Thanks for listening!(112 words)

第二节 （满分 25 分）
A possible version:
The team of volunteers came forward to help, with a desire to make a difference.
Equipped with brooms and mops, they immediately got down to work. It took them hours to
completely clean up the poop of Homer, wash the dirty carpet and build a new railing for the
stairs. When they finally put everything in order, the volunteers decided that they would also
come up with a plan for further support. They posted the pictures of Mr. Ronald and his
newly decorated house on social media, gave a detailed description of the situation and
appealed to more people to offer a helping hand. (89 词)
Seeing the post from the Internet, more people joined in, donating their time and
resources. They even organized a schedule to take turns to visit Mr. Ronald weekly, ensuring
he had all the support he needed to maintain his home and chasing away his loneliness. The
busy and cheerful volunteers moved Mr. Ronald to tears. He couldn’t help but thank them
over and over again. Seeing the brand new house and the grateful face of Mr. Ronald,
Mulvihill was amazed how her single act of kindness rippled outward and ended up with
something remarkable. (79 词)

W: Annie and I used to go biking together, so I thought she would appreciate it.

M: So how long did the trip take

Welcome everyone to our radio program today. We’re going to talk about how technology is
changing the way music is made. In the past, musicians only use pen and paper to write their
music. But now, with computer and phone apps, creating music has become much easier.
Musicians can simply sing a song, and then these apps will turn it into musical notes. And that’
s not all. These modern apps have some really cool functions. When musicians make mistakes,
these apps also allow them to edit their music with just a few taps on the screen. They can
move things around, try out different sounds, and create music like they’re in a recording
place, all from their phones. So even though some musicians still like to write music by hand,
technology has really changed the game. It’s an exciting time to be a musician, with so many
new possibilities waiting to be explored.

The Best Exhibitions to See in Hong Kong
With a large number of independent galleries exhibiting something unique and appealing,
Hong Kong has tens of exhibitions happening at any moment. Here are the major ones you can’t
miss.
3
Building for Life
This is the first major review of Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the greatest architects of the 20th and
21st centuries. The exhibition takes an expanded and closer look at his practice through six
themes representing areas of focus and approaches throughout his high-profile career.
Young Stars in Hong Kong
Sponsored by the Simon Suen Foundation, the exhibition features 39 recent works by five
talented Hong Kong artists under 40. The exhibition celebrates creativity and shows the mixture
of Chinese and Western artistic elements, providing a platform to highlight local culture and
emerging artistic talent.
The Augmented Exhibition
To celebrate the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the exhibition will combine
AR(augmented reality) technology with historical artifacts to bring the 850-year story of
Notre-Dame to life. Visitors can explore milestones such as royal weddings and Napoleon’s
coronation （加冕礼）through the interactive HistoPad.
Fashioning Imagination
The exhibition is the first in East Asia dedicated to Guo Pei, a 58-year-old Chinese haute
couture（高级时装）designer known for her continuous haute couture collections in Paris. One
of her most famous pieces is Rihanna’s “Yellow Empress”dress from the 2015 Met Gala, which
brought the designer international fame. The exhibition will feature over forty attractive pieces,
diving into her imaginative world of beautiful Eastern and Western influences.
21. Which exhibition will you visit if you are interested in architecture
A. Building for Life. B. Young Stars in Hong Kong.
C. Fashioning Imagination. D. The Augmented Exhibition.
22. What do the Young Stars in Hong Kong and Fashioning Imagination have in common
A. They are created by young artists. B. They show local culture in Hong Kong.
C. They attract visitors with technology.D. They combine Eastern and Western elements.
23. In what column can this text probably be found
A. Architecture. B. Figures. C. Culture. D. Reviews.
B
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.” is an old saying my
4
fourth-grade teacher once told me. I grew up thinking as long as people didn’t physically hurt
each other, hurtful words were to be tolerated, but I changed my mind after reading Linda O’
Connell’s story, Two Little Words with a Big Impact. She discussed two words: “and” and “but”,
and explained how “but” can be one of the most destructive words.
Then I realized I had been hurt by the word “but”, and that I had wounded others, too, by
using the word thoughtlessly. For example, when I was a teacher and edited my students’ stories,
I would always say their content was good, but then I would add comments such as “but you need
to make your characters more realistic.” I could have said, “Your content is good and making
your characters more believable will make it even better.”
In setting up guidelines for commenting on writers, I realize we need to praise each other,
make helpful remarks, and then praise each other again, without using the word “but.” 1
remember a college professor who said, “There is no such thing as constructive criticism.
Criticism is criticism.” She has now passed on, but her words remain with me always.
My fourth-grade teacher’s quote was aimed at what she thought was harmless playground
teasing, but even teasing hurts. Today, we can read sad news related to many stories where people
have been terribly hurt by ugly words and suffered a lot. Now I realize the importance of thinking
before speaking, even to avoid seemingly unimportant words like “but”. Sticks and stones break
our bones, but thoughtless words also do harm. They can leave marks for a lifetime.
24. What changed the author’s attitude to hurtful words
A. A teacher’s advice. B. His personal experience.
C. A college professor’s words. D. A story by Linda O’Connell.
25. What message does the example in Paragraph 2 convey
A. The author used “but” too often. B. The author could tolerate criticism.
C. The misuse of “but” can hurt others. D. Realistic characters are needed in writing.
26. Which words can best describe the author
A. Honest and warm-hearted. B. Devoted and co-operative.
C. Optimistic and open-minded. D. Caring and self-reflective.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. The benefits of learning from mistakes.
B. The long-lasting effect of hurtful words.
5
C. The importance of using words thoughtfully.
D. The difference between physical and emotional harm.
C
Ball-rolling bumblebees have become the first known insects to “play,” researchers say. The
scientists recorded these tiny fliers operating wooden balls again and again in a series of new
experiments.
Animal play means animals repeatedly engaging in behavior that does not provide them with
food, shelter or another immediate benefit, which is widely observed in mammals and birds, but
no record was found in insects. It is one piece of the puzzle when determining whether a group of
animals is sentient（有感知力的）— whether its members have inner feelings or experiences.
“Our experiments can tell us something more about whether insects are sentient,” says Galpayage,
a researcher in Lars Chittka’s lab.
In the experiment, members in the lab set up a system that let bumblebees move in an
obstacle-free path leading directly to a sugary solution in a feeding area. Along the path’s sides,
the researchers placed small wooden balls of varying colors and patterns. Bees could access the
sugary solution without touching the balls at all. Over 54 hours, the team observed each of the
experiment’s 45 bees contributing to 910 total ball-rolling actions. Some bees returned again and
again, moving the balls in various patterns. The researchers found that feeding and ball-rolling
activities happened at different times and frequencies. Younger bees and male bees were
especially interested in rolling the balls.
While these results illustrate play behavior in the bees, Galpayage says, the research does
not show specific motivation for it. Determining what the insects are playing for, for instance,
would require analyzing which neurotransmitters（神经递质）activate during ball rolling.
“We haven’t had a good grasp yet on what the relationship is between sentience and
different behaviors,” says Heather Browning, an animal welfare expert. Evidence for many
different characteristics, such as play behavior, complex brain structure and learning ability
“raises the probability of sentience.” This study, Browning adds, “seems to be pointing in that
direction.”
28. What’s the purpose of the experiment
A. To confirm insects’ inner feelings. B. To compare insects and mammals.
6
C. To prove the benefits of play behavior. D. To study the reasons for play behavior.
29. How did researchers get the result of the experiment
A. By blocking bees from the feeding area.
B. By analyzing bees’ interactions with balls.
C. By observing bees in the wild for 54 hours.
D. By training bees to remove balls from the path.
30. How does Heather Browning find the experiment
A. Impractical. B. Complex. C. Thoughtful. D. Instructive.
31. What’s the best title for this text
A. Bumblebees Can Roll Balls B. Bumblebees Just Wanna Have Fun
C. Bumblebees Provide Inspiration for Us D. Bumblebees Are as Smart as You Think
D
There’s an enormous amount of personal health information people now feed or tap into
digital monitors, health apps, search engines and other online tools. If the same information were
provided in your doctor’s office, your privacy would be safeguarded. But that’s not how the
digitized health world works.
Instead, we have an ecosystem of misuse in which health technology companies operate
largely outside the law that requires doctors and other medical personnel, hospitals and insurers
to protect an individual’s health information.
That means technology companies can — and do — dig your digital data for clues about
your health status, searching for information like prescriptions you have purchased and other
health services you might have sought, and potentially link this information to your name,
address, email address and other personally identifying information. The data can then be used by
platforms including Facebook and Google to help advertisers target promotions or other
communications to you.
It’s a gaping hole in health privacy protections that comes from the privacy law, which
protects interactions between patients, medical professionals and insurers but does not, in most
cases, protect patient health data that is recorded on new technologies.
Closing the patient privacy gap can — and should — be a priority for lawmakers. The
consequences of digital exposure for those seeking reproductive services have drawn significant
7
concern and attention. These worries are reasonable. But reproductive care is only one area of
health services where private patient information is digitally disclosed.
Therefore, lawmakers must take action to protect the privacy of people who are now online
for all manners of personal, professional and other reasons. Until then, a narrowly targeted
approach that protects health privacy may be politically easier to come into effect. The explosion
of digital health technology and the dramatic increase in its use in the past few years require it
greatly.
32. What can we learn about the present situation of the digitized health world
A. Personal health data is used for other purposes.
B. Personal health information is difficult to identify.
C. Targeted promotions are used to improve people’s health.
D. Medical personnel protect the personal health information well.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards the present privacy law
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Cautious. D. Uncertain.
34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. The spread of health service. B. People’s privacy.
C. A narrowly targeted approach. D. The explosion of digital technology.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To advocate improvement in the privacy law.
B. To report cases of illegal information exposure.
C. To explain how the digitized health world works.
D. To introduce a debate on the effect of technology.

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，
Laura Mulvihill, a volunteer at the community center, felt the ride was probably very unusual
when she picked up 89-year-old Ronald Dembner from the Veteran’s Hospital in Henry County,
Georgia. It was obvious that he was struggling and in bad shape. But it wasn’t until they arrived
at his home that her worst doubts were confirmed. Expecting to be greeted by family members,
she was greeted by something out of a nightmare（噩梦）episode of Hoarders instead.
Mr. Ronald’s home was covered with rubbish. The kitchen was crowded with old, dirty
dishes and leftovers. The carpets were smelly and worn, with visible tracks of dirt. The walls
were covered with cobwebs（蜘蛛网）in the corners. To make the situation worse, the room smelt
absolutely terrible, and there was no railing（扶手）on the stairs. Hardly could anyone imagine
that a man should live in such a poor condition.
After talking with Mr. Ronald, Mulvihill learned that all of Ronald’s family members had
passed away, he had no one to assist him. Even the home care nurses had stopped coming to visit
as a result of the extremely awful living conditions. He was completely alone, except for his dog,
Homer, who had taken to pooping（排便）in the house. Although he was unable to clean up the
house by himself, he didn’t dare to reach out for help, for fear of being forced to a nursing home
12
and losing his dog.
Horrified by what she witnessed, Mulvihill decided to take matters into her own hands. She
knew it would take a team to make things right, so she called her friends and family members one
by one and told them about the situation. Luckily, she found 10 warm-hearted people offering to
help. The team was eventually formed.
