Text 5
W:Do you think we should get Steve a book for the new year

W: Morning,Mark.
M:⑩ Morning, Clara.How was your weekend
W:Great.⑩ I went to my grandpa's. He invited us to pick vegetables on his farm. My daughter had a great time there. What about you
M:Oh, I had a truly incredible experience. I dropped by a yard sale on Saturday and got several books.
W:Novels
M:A novel and two poetry collections. As I leafed through the novel, a piece of paper fell out. It was an air ticket from 2012. The flight was from Los Angeles to Chicago and the name on the ticket was Ashley Louis.
W:Was it
M:Yes. Ashley,my sister. In 2012, she lived in Los Angeles and her husband worked in Chicago. Both of them often flew between two cities. I asked the seller where he got the book. He said it was bought at a second-hand bookstore in Los Angeles three years ago. Last year, he and his family moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia.
W:So, all the way across the country, your sister's old book landed in your hands. That's really crazy.

Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.The program aims to help students develop science skills,environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast-food restaurants outnumber grocery stores.“The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says.“They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts' classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden.Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes.“We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition.Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens.Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's special education students,many of whom have emotional control issues.“They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”

Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations.Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智),wealth or faith of the subject.Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right.More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated.From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader.To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined.And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private,“off-line” activity.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过《阅读艺术:书籍爱好者的艺术》让我们看到了超越文化与时间的共同人性。网络化的生活中,电子书的推广并不能取代印刷书的使用,阅读印刷书仍然是完全私人的活动。
28.Where is the text most probably taken from
A.An introduction to a book.
B.An essay on the art of writing.
C.A guidebook to a museum.
D.A review of modern paintings.
A [推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段第一句“Reading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration...three hundred artworks from museums around the world.”可知,《阅读艺术:书籍爱好者的艺术》这本书里展示了来自世界各地博物馆的近300件艺术品,本文主要是对该书内容的介绍。故可以推知,本文最有可能摘自书的序言。]
29.What are the selected artworks about
A.Wealth and intellect. B.Home and school.
C.Books and reading. D.Work and leisure.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句内容可知,被选中的艺术品强调的是图书和阅读,故C项正确。]
30.What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Understand. B.Paint.
C.Seize. D.Transform.
A [词义猜测题。根据第二段尾句“These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments we can all relate to.”中的but表达的语境可知,这些场景可能是数百年前绘制的,但它们记录了我们都能理解的瞬间。故画线词意为“理解”,A项正确。]
31.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader
A.The printed book is not totally out of date.
B.Technology has changed the way we read.
C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D.People now rarely have the patience to read.
A [推理判断题。根据本文尾句“And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives...offers the chance of a wholly private,‘off-line’ activity.”可知,在我们日益网络化的生活中,我们所消费的信息被监控和跟踪,与之相反,印刷书仍然提供了一个完全私人的、“离线”活动的机会。该句强调了印刷书的价值,据此可知,作者提及电子书旨在说明印刷书并未完全过时,故A项正确。]
D
As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories.For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者通过对一项新的研究结果及其过程的描述向读者介绍了与大自然互动对人类健康的重要性,同时也指出要保护大自然。
32.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A.Pocket parks are now popular.
B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated.
D.People enjoy living close to nature.
B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find(城市居民越来越难以接触大自然)”以及“it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild(在一个城市里找到相对天然的地方是罕见的)”可知,在城市里很难接触大自然。故B项正确。]
33.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyze the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.
D [推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Across the 320 submissions,a pattern of categories...began to emerge.(在320份提交的材料中,一种被研究人员称为‘自然语言’的类别模式开始出现)”可知,研究人员这样做是为了从访客的总结材料中找出类别规律。故D项正确。]
34.What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5
A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.
C [推理判断题。根据第五段所列举的例子“the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying...a fountain on their lunch break”可知,年轻的职业人士周末可以在公园徒步旅行,工作日内可以沿着喷泉散步,用不同的形式去体验自然,即同样的与自然的互动体验会有不同的表现形式。故C项正确。]
35.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn
A.Language study.
B.Environmental conservation.
C.Public education.
D.Intercultural communication.
B [细节理解题。根据最后一段Kahn的话“And for that to happen,we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it(为了实现这一点,我们还需要保护自然,以便能与之互动)”可知,我们在与大自然互动之前需要保护大自然,故B项正确。]

As an artist who shares her journey on social media,I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer.I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner.So I've put together some good tips for starting an art journey.
·Start small.I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies.These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. 36 You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.
·Paint often and paint from life.There's no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.Whether you paint still lives, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 37
·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 38 Artistic growth can be a bit painful.Welcome to the club; we've all been there.I love taking on challenges.I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online.
· 39 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth.I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people.They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability.
·The journey you're on won't follow a straight path. 40 Push through, give it time and put in the effort.You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.
A.Get out of your comfort zone.
B.Make career plans and set goals.
C.Don't throw away your beginner art.
D.Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E.You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.
F.Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.
G.You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者以第一人称的口吻向自己的粉丝传授了初学者开启艺术之旅的一些技巧和建议。
36.C [空后一句讲到了“You'll want to look back on your journey to see how far you've come.(你会想要回顾自己的旅程,看看自己已经走了多远)”,因此空处应该会做一个关于“看什么来回顾”的铺垫,C项中的“your beginner art”可以帮助你看到自己从开始到现在走了多远,故C项符合语境。]
37.G [空处位于本段的结尾,空前一句讲到了“Whether you paint still lives,portraits,or landscapes,paint from life as much as possible.(无论你是画静物画、肖像画还是风景画,都要尽可能多地写生)”,G项“You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.(你将培养出只有重复才能得到的绘画肌肉记忆)”讲到这样做的目的和好处,承接上文,符合语境。]
38.A [根据本段的主旨句“Continually challenge yourself to try something new.”可知,本段主要围绕“不断挑战自我去尝试新事物”展开,且空后讲到了“Artistic growth can be a bit painful.(艺术之旅的成长有时会有些痛苦)”,A项“Get out of your comfort zone.(走出你的舒适区)”符合语境,且能引出下文,故选A项。]
39.D [结合本空的位置可知,本空考查段落主旨句。根据本段中的“Seeking and accepting constructive feedback is crucial...They make me feel valued and respected”可知,本段讲到了可以利用社交媒体寻求建设性的反馈以及这样做的好处,故D项“Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.(分享你的作品,如果这样做让你觉得舒服)”适合作本段的主旨句。]
40.E [空前一句“The journey you're on won't follow a straight path.(你的旅途不会一路平坦)”,而空后讲到了“Push through,give it time and put in the effort.(坚持下去,给它时间,付出努力)”,这是面对困境时的做法,因此空处应承接上一句,讲到旅途中的困难,故E项“You'll hit roadblocks, and you'll feel discouraged at times.(你会遇到障碍,有时你会感到沮丧)”符合语境。]

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”教熊猫饲养员讲英语的经历。
56.arrival [考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空处作介词before的宾语,跟在定冠词the的后面,需要用名词,arrive的名词形式是arrival。故填arrival。]
57.confident [考查形容词。根据空前的并列连词and可知,空处与空前的形容词comfortable并列,同作feel的表语,因此,空处也需要填形容词。故填confident。句意:自2017年6月以来,就在两只新大熊猫“梦梦”和“娇庆”到来之前,我一直在帮助动物园的熊猫饲养员更自在、更自信地讲英语。]
58.to/with [考查介词。根据下文中的“Not the pandas...They talk to the flood of international tourists”可知,此处是指“他们和谁说英语呢?”。故填to/with。]
59.the [考查冠词。空后为可数名词单数language,因此,空处考虑使用冠词起限定作用,根据language后的“used for the medical training instructions”可知,此处表特指,故填the。]
60.visiting [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作前置定语,修饰空后的“Chinese zookeepers”,visit与Chinese zookeepers之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,此处意为“来访的中国动物园管理员”,故填visiting。句意:他们要和蜂拥而来的国际游客,以及来访的中国动物园管理员交谈。这些动物园管理员会经常来为从中国借来的大熊猫做检查。]
61.interviews [考查名词复数。分析句子结构可知,空处作动词give的宾语,需要用名词。根据空后的“with international journalists”可知,空处表示复数意义,故填interviews。]
62.why [考查表语从句的引导词。根据句意“他们还需要随时准备好接受国际记者的英文采访。这就是他们需要一个英语老师的原因”可知,此处考查固定句型“This is why...”,故填why。]
63.Basically [考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处作副词修饰整个句子。由于本空位于句首,首字母需要大写,故填Basically。句意:那么,他们在学什么呢?总的说来,他们在学习如何描述大熊猫的生活。 ]
64.and [考查连词。分析句子结构可知,空前的“to watch...develop”和空后的“to see...home”结构相似,空处考虑使用连词。结合句意“能够关注大熊猫项目的发展并看着大熊猫在新的住处安顿下来是一种荣幸”可知,空处前后是语意上的并列关系,故填and。]
65.wished [考查动词时态。根据空前的“As a little girl”和空后的“when I grew up”和“Now,I'm living out that dream”可知,空处讲的是作者小时候的愿望,应用一般过去时,故填wished。句意:作为一个小女孩,我希望我长大后成为一名动物园管理员。]

Dear Ryan,
I'm Li Hua from Class 3.We're overwhelmed with excitement at the knowledge that an oral English class will be arranged for us.But learning that we'll be randomly paired to do the oral practice, I feel an urge to express my different voice, hoping that this wouldn't offend you.
To begin with, it couldn't be better if students with mixed levels of English could be grouped together deliberately rather than at random, so that we can help each other during our practice. Additionally, to ensure that our oral practice goes smoothly, I suggest that you put three to four students together, with one as the group leader, in which case we can communicate with each other at a great depth.
Should it be possible, I truly hope you can take my suggestions into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest.I said no without thinking.I did not love writing.My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language.Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts.No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply:“Because I love your stories.If you're willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere's horse as my subject.Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming.My story would come straight from the horse's mouth.Not a brilliant idea,but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else's choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately.I got tired.I had doubts.I wanted to quit.But, like Revere's horse, I kept going.I worked hard.I checked my spelling.I asked my older sister to correct my grammar.I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library.I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great.Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again.When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing.If I didn't win, I wouldn't care.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。

[参考范文]
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I still remember it was a Monday morning in spring, when my teacher called me to his office, telling me that I had taken first place in the writing contest, and that I was the only winner whose native language wasn't English. Dominated by an overwhelming sense of excitement and pride at his words, I simply stood there dumbfounded, and my feet, as if rooted to the ground, couldn't move a bit. The next day, I was presented with my award and a certificate at the ceremony.
I went to my teacher's office after the award
presentation. Giggling instantly with a broad smile spreading on his face,he told me that he was proud of my wonderful performance. It was at that moment that a warm surge of streams washed through my body, and the image of the horse emerged in my mind, encouraging me to continue writing. Indeed, I got a taste of victory and learned to pursue my dream with perseverance, whatever difficulties might arise.
