A
To involve viewers completely, an entirely new art form is developing. It surrounds visitors with images and sounds. Sometimes unnoticeable smells are added to draw people in through yet another sense. These immersive (沉浸式的) exhibits are projected and can even change with interaction.
Monet's Garden: The Immersive Experience
A massive, immersive exhibition celebrating French artist Claude Monet will be shown in downtown New York in November, promising visitors a multisensory experience. Visitors will be greeted by pleasant smells of water lilies floating in the air and learn much about Monet, who developed from a gifted but slightly traditional landscape painter into a master of the Impressionism.
TheBlu
TheBlu, which started as a home application, is presented at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Museum lovers virtually observe a big blue whale and a whale fall where a dead whale's bones have become an undersea ecosystem. “We aim for the right level of awe (敬畏). No cheap scares. No shark jumps out at you，” says Rowell, one of the app developers. “Exploration is the heart of what ‘TheBlu’ is.”
Particle (微粒) Mirror
The Museum of Science, Boston has used the latest tech to excite visitors and inspire life long learning. Opened this year, “Particle Mirror” inspires an interest in physics. Visitors are led through nine scenes interacting with a changing variety of spots, all following the laws of physics. For example, in the “snow” scene, visitors can collect the falling particles or sweep them off the floor. Particles set off different musical sounds when pushed.
Vitality in Running
This immersive art exhibition is an interactive multi media one focusing on the culture of the Yongding River, known as the “Mother River of Beijing”. This exhibition is made up of various sections including “Flowing”， “Dawn”， “Legend”， “Coexistence”， “Fire and Dreams”， and “Four Seasons”. The exhibition feeds its visitors' souls by presenting the beauty of art through interaction with visitors by means of the latest technologies.
21．Which exhibition most attracts a physics lover

To create “Washed Up: Transforming a Trashed Landscape”， Alejandro Durán gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka'an, Mexico's largest federally protected reserve. The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yet every day, plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores (岸). These materials inspired Durán to create a series of environmental art pieces, which he records with photos and videos.
I had the opportunity to speak with Durán. Durán was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn. He said that he's been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years, and the work is ongoing. “The project will tell me when to stop.”
Each piece can convey a vastly different mood, from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes. “I'm making art，” said Durán. “It comes from the context and my moods. You can't say, ‘only make something dark.’” The work reflects and plays with natural forms, exploring how humans influence the environment. The colorful and playful images can be much attention grabbing. “Beauty is a hook (钩子) to attract people's attention，” said Durán.
In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem, Durán is also involved in educational programs and helps to organize beach clean ups. He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka'an, and has identified objects from 50 different countries. Although there's no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea, their labels show the global nature of the problem.
24．What does Alejandro Durán do with the trash
A．He moves it away.
B．He collects and burns it.
C．He turns it into a form of art.
D．He puts it together for people to see.
25．What does Alejandro Durán mean by “The project will tell me when to stop” in Paragraph 3
A．He will stop the project soon.
B．It's hard to carry on the project.
C．He will go on with the project.
D．The project is important to him.
26．Alejandro Durán runs the project mainly to ________．
A．recycle the trash
B．change his career
C．clean up the beach
D．raise public awareness about pollution
27．What is the text mainly about
A．Plastic pollution in the ocean.
B．An artist creating environmental art.
C．The global nature of the pollution problem.
D．Mexico's largest federally protected reserve.

Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.
Theatrical art forms in many other counties do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer doesn't speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment. It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.
Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made lightly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China's national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!
28．Beijing Opera is ________．
A．unpopular in north China
B．only developed from the local drama “Huiban”
C．a much larger Chinese opera form
D．a Chinese traditional drama art form
29．According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT mentioned
A．Beijing Opera is a kind of entertainment.
B．An opera singer neither dances nor speaks on stage usually.
C．Only old people are interested in Beijing Opera.
D．Mei Lanfang was the first one to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners.
30．After watching Beijing Opera for the first time, the traveler felt ________．
A．busy B.nervous
C.interested D.uneasy
31．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．
A．Beijing Opera B.Huiban
C.an opera singer D.a modern play

In 2015, Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana. Outside the couple's fourth floor apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to his job, but they never spoke.
One day, Peterson was reading a book about the power of love. Inspired by the book's compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris. He fell on hard times and ended up living on the street. “But his story inspired me.” Peterson recalled later. Peterson found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait.
Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on painting portraits of the homeless. Working from a black and white photo, Peterson chooses colors inspired by life story, creating a portrait. He showed one man winning his battle with alcoholism, for example, by changing the colors from a sad blue to a brilliant red. Peterson sells the picture—signed by both subject and artist—for a few thousand dollars, putting half for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.
“I've made so many mistakes thinking. I knew what people wanted，” Peterson says, “Then I realized: Why don't we just ask them？” Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent？” When the check was delivered, “they both wept in my arms，” Peterson recalls.
In the eight years since Faces of Santa Ana was established, Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now，’” Peterson says, “I didn't know that would happen.”
32．Which of the following best describes Peterson
A．Imaginative. B．Optimistic.
C．Persuasive. D．Caring.
33．Why did Peterson think he had made so many mistakes
A．He sold the pictures for money.
B．He helped the homeless back home.
C．He helped Kimberly finance her daughter.
D．He didn't realize people's specific needs.
34．What does the author indicate in the last paragraph with others
A．The buyers liked making friends with others.
B．Peterson's behavior made a difference to the buyers.
C．The homeless would contact the buyers with similarities.
D．Everyone would be grateful to Peterson for his great work.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．A Nonprofit Organization
B．The Man Realizing His Art Dream
C．Kind Buyers Helping the Homeless
D．The Man Painting Portraits for the Homeless

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Should you listen to music when you work Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing in the background. __36__ It just depends on what sort of work you're doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks. They included an easy task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, whereas others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instrumental tracks. __37__
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. __38__ Contrarily, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.
__39__ Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less engaged during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off to sleep. Music might give us the extra boost we need to get refreshed. __40__ Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.
A．What should we make of these findings
B．Several key findings emerged from our study.
C．However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources.
D．Our research has found that the effects of work may depend on our personalities.
E．We want to develop a more comprehensive framework that could be applied broader.
F．However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task.
G．Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.

Our apartment was located on Rue de la Calade, a __45__ street in the center of the city. It was __46__—with stone floors, well kept rooms, and friendly neighbors. Our first day in Arles was spent walking around and just getting a feel of the area. We had __47__ our apartment for three weeks!
The first day's __48__ we took outside of Arles was to St Remy, where Van Gogh once lived in a mental hospital while still painting some of his most beloved __49__. Today you can visit all the places that he painted at, although they aren't as completely unchanged as they used to be. St Remy is a beautiful little town, though—lots of places to __50__．
My family and I took a day tour to the Camargue, a nearby nature __51__， which is France's wild west, our last week in Arles. We got the __52__ we had booked through the Arles tourist office, which can sometimes be __53__. The tour was, although a little long, beautiful in every way. If in the South of France, I __54__ recommend visiting the Camargue.
So overall, Arles and the South of France is excellent. __55__ stopping for some days!

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。
Lily has finally become a good dancer now, all thanks to Shanda's presence. Of all the people in Lily's life, Shanda in particular stands out. As Lily thinks of Shanda, a smile spreads across her face. She feels loved and grateful more than ever that she has such a teacher and friend.
Eleven years of dance and going on twelve that year, she doubted it would end up like any other year. She might be stuck in any empty spot and didn't know what to do with her next dance move. Little did she know that year would change her completely.
That year, Lily felt lucky that Shanda would choreograph (编舞) for her dance. Lily expected to work with Shanda, a young talented dancer, to have an okay dance, but she never expected she would have such an impressive impact on her way to dance.
The moment Lily walked into the marble－floored, wall to wall mirrored room, she already felt like Shanda had faith in her. Shanda smiled at her with appreciative eyes. In the following days, Shanda always encouraged her, “Work to the best of your ability and keep going.” When she wanted to give up, Shanda told her that the real importance of dance was to love it.
Through their hard work and devotion, not only did Lily's ability to dance grow, but also their friendship deepened. Shanda became more than a teacher to Lily. She was also a close friend that Lily could turn to for anything. Shanda gave her encouragement when Lily needed it the most, and Shanda was always there to cheer Lily up when she felt down.
As the year quickly came to an end, it was high time for Lily to show her dance to the audience. As she walked to the backstage filled with other dancers warming up and expecting their performance, she prayed for a good performance that would convey her improvement. The rhythmic music before her rang in her ears. She waited anxiously for her turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the hostess announced “Lily”.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Lily had butterflies in her stomach as she stepped onto the big stage. Lily felt very excited when the hostess asked her to make a speech.

Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have totally different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly and peaceful environment. Each summer, 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work. Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build little wooden houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or drawing. Others just sit around and talk with the adults. Each teenager can choose his own way to spend his free time. When people live together, they should have rules. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
To involve viewers completely, an entirely new art form is developing. It surrounds visitors with images and sounds. Sometimes unnoticeable smells are added to draw people in through yet another sense. These immersive (沉浸式的) exhibits are projected and can even change with interaction.
Monet's Garden: The Immersive Experience
A massive, immersive exhibition celebrating French artist Claude Monet will be shown in downtown New York in November, promising visitors a multisensory experience. Visitors will be greeted by pleasant smells of water lilies floating in the air and learn much about Monet, who developed from a gifted but slightly traditional landscape painter into a master of the Impressionism.
TheBlu
TheBlu, which started as a home application, is presented at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Museum lovers virtually observe a big blue whale and a whale fall where a dead whale's bones have become an undersea ecosystem. “We aim for the right level of awe (敬畏). No cheap scares. No shark jumps out at you，” says Rowell, one of the app developers. “Exploration is the heart of what ‘TheBlu’ is.”
Particle (微粒) Mirror
The Museum of Science, Boston has used the latest tech to excite visitors and inspire life long learning. Opened this year, “Particle Mirror” inspires an interest in physics. Visitors are led through nine scenes interacting with a changing variety of spots, all following the laws of physics. For example, in the “snow” scene, visitors can collect the falling particles or sweep them off the floor. Particles set off different musical sounds when pushed.
Vitality in Running
This immersive art exhibition is an interactive multi media one focusing on the culture of the Yongding River, known as the “Mother River of Beijing”. This exhibition is made up of various sections including “Flowing”， “Dawn”， “Legend”， “Coexistence”， “Fire and Dreams”， and “Four Seasons”. The exhibition feeds its visitors' souls by presenting the beauty of art through interaction with visitors by means of the latest technologies.

To create “Washed Up: Transforming a Trashed Landscape”， Alejandro Durán gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka'an, Mexico's largest federally protected reserve. The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yet every day, plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores (岸). These materials inspired Durán to create a series of environmental art pieces, which he records with photos and videos.
I had the opportunity to speak with Durán. Durán was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn. He said that he's been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years, and the work is ongoing. “The project will tell me when to stop.”
Each piece can convey a vastly different mood, from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes. “I'm making art，” said Durán. “It comes from the context and my moods. You can't say, ‘only make something dark.’” The work reflects and plays with natural forms, exploring how humans influence the environment. The colorful and playful images can be much attention grabbing. “Beauty is a hook (钩子) to attract people's attention，” said Durán.
In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem, Durán is also involved in educational programs and helps to organize beach clean ups. He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka'an, and has identified objects from 50 different countries. Although there's no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea, their labels show the global nature of the problem.

Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.
Theatrical art forms in many other counties do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer doesn't speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment. It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.
Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made lightly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China's national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

In 2015, Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana. Outside the couple's fourth floor apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to his job, but they never spoke.
One day, Peterson was reading a book about the power of love. Inspired by the book's compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris. He fell on hard times and ended up living on the street. “But his story inspired me.” Peterson recalled later. Peterson found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait.
Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on painting portraits of the homeless. Working from a black and white photo, Peterson chooses colors inspired by life story, creating a portrait. He showed one man winning his battle with alcoholism, for example, by changing the colors from a sad blue to a brilliant red. Peterson sells the picture—signed by both subject and artist—for a few thousand dollars, putting half for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.
“I've made so many mistakes thinking. I knew what people wanted，” Peterson says, “Then I realized: Why don't we just ask them？” Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent？” When the check was delivered, “they both wept in my arms，” Peterson recalls.
In the eight years since Faces of Santa Ana was established, Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now，’” Peterson says, “I didn't know that would happen.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Brian Peterson (布莱恩·彼得森)受到启发，与一个无家可归的人Matt Faris (马特·法里斯)结识并为其画像，从而成立了一个非营利组织，为无家可归者绘制肖像画的故事。
32．Which of the following best describes Peterson
A．Imaginative. B．Optimistic.
C．Persuasive. D．Caring.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Inspired by ... introduce himself.”以及下文提到的Peterson帮助无家可归的人使用卖画所得重新站起来可推知，Peterson是一个关怀他人的人。故选D。
33．Why did Peterson think he had made so many mistakes
A．He sold the pictures for money.
B．He helped the homeless back home.
C．He helped Kimberly finance her daughter.
D．He didn't realize people's specific needs.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I've made so many ... just ask them？”可知，Peterson认为他犯错误的原因是他曾经没有意识到人们具体的需求。故选D。

A．The buyers liked making friends with others.
B．Peterson's behavior made a difference to the buyers.
C．The homeless would contact the buyers with similarities.
D．Everyone would be grateful to Peterson for his great work.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Should you listen to music when you work Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing in the background. __36__ It just depends on what sort of work you're doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks. They included an easy task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, whereas others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instrumental tracks. __37__
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. __38__ Contrarily, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.
__39__ Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less engaged during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off to sleep. Music might give us the extra boost we need to get refreshed. __40__ Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.
A．What should we make of these findings
B．Several key findings emerged from our study.
C．However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources.
D．Our research has found that the effects of work may depend on our personalities.
E．We want to develop a more comprehensive framework that could be applied broader.
F．However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task.
G．Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过实验来讨论工作的时候该不该听音乐。
36．答案：G
解析：根据上文“Some will say they love it ... with music playing in the background.(有些人会说他们喜欢它，声称它能提高他们的表现；其他人会说他们不能在有背景音乐的情况下有效地工作。)”和下文“It just depends on what sort of work you're doing.(这要看你在做什么工作了。)”可知，工作中能否听音乐，取决于所做的工作，所以说以上两种说法都有可取之处。G项(有趣的是，我们的研究发现，这两种观点都可能是正确的。)承上启下。故选G。
37．答案：B
解析：根据上文的实验过程及下文的实验发现可知，设空处应总结实验获得的收获。B项(我们的研究得出了几个关键的发现。)符合语境。故选B。
38．答案：F
解析：根据上文“We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task.”可知，听简单的音乐或不听音乐的参与者在简单任务上的表现都差不多；根据下文的内容可知，与没听音乐的人相比，听音乐的人在更难的任务上表现得更差，不管音乐的复杂性或音量大小。由此可知，设空处应对听复杂音乐的情况进行讨论。F项(然而，听复杂音乐的参与者在简单任务上表现最好。)符合语境。故选F。
39．答案：A
解析：根据下文“Not surprisingly, we typically need to ... require more brainpower.(毫不奇怪，当我们执行简单的任务时，我们通常需要更少的脑力资源，而要求更高的任务需要更多的脑力。)”可知，此处是对实验发现进行分析总结。A项(我们应该如何理解这些发现？)引出下文。故选A。
40．答案：C
解析：根据下文“Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.(听音乐可能会变得过犹不及。所以我们必须在音乐类型和任务类型之间取得平衡。)”可知，执行复杂任务不适合听音乐，因为执行复杂任务本身就需要消耗更多精力。C项(然而，困难的任务已经需要我们大量的脑力资源。)符合语境。故选C。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

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。
Lily has finally become a good dancer now, all thanks to Shanda's presence. Of all the people in Lily's life, Shanda in particular stands out. As Lily thinks of Shanda, a smile spreads across her face. She feels loved and grateful more than ever that she has such a teacher and friend.
Eleven years of dance and going on twelve that year, she doubted it would end up like any other year. She might be stuck in any empty spot and didn't know what to do with her next dance move. Little did she know that year would change her completely.
That year, Lily felt lucky that Shanda would choreograph (编舞) for her dance. Lily expected to work with Shanda, a young talented dancer, to have an okay dance, but she never expected she would have such an impressive impact on her way to dance.
The moment Lily walked into the marble－floored, wall to wall mirrored room, she already felt like Shanda had faith in her. Shanda smiled at her with appreciative eyes. In the following days, Shanda always encouraged her, “Work to the best of your ability and keep going.” When she wanted to give up, Shanda told her that the real importance of dance was to love it.
Through their hard work and devotion, not only did Lily's ability to dance grow, but also their friendship deepened. Shanda became more than a teacher to Lily. She was also a close friend that Lily could turn to for anything. Shanda gave her encouragement when Lily needed it the most, and Shanda was always there to cheer Lily up when she felt down.
As the year quickly came to an end, it was high time for Lily to show her dance to the audience. As she walked to the backstage filled with other dancers warming up and expecting their performance, she prayed for a good performance that would convey her improvement. The rhythmic music before her rang in her ears. She waited anxiously for her turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the hostess announced “Lily”.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Lily had butterflies in her stomach as she stepped onto the big stage. Lily felt very excited when the hostess asked her to make a speech.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了舞蹈选手Lily (莉莉)与亦师亦友的Shanda (珊达)之间发生的故事。在Lily的舞蹈生涯中，是Shanda给了Lily跳舞的勇气、灵感以及对舞蹈的真正理解，到了Lily要表演的时刻，女主持人叫到Lily的名字。她是如何表演的？她有什么感想？
[精彩范文]
Lily had butterflies in her stomach as she stepped onto the big stage. Excitement and nervousness ran through her body, disturbing yet inspiring her. Seeing Shanda smiling brightly in the audience, she calmed down a bit. Determination to succeed convinced her that she couldn't give up. With the dance music on, she danced to it in harmony, showing that she hadn't spent a year in vain. To her surprise, she danced with heart and soul, standing out from all the participants. She finally won the championship, and the whole audience applauded warmly.
Lily felt very excited when the hostess asked her to make a speech. With the gold medal in hand, she said loudly, “I owe my success to Shanda. She taught me better dance movements and techniques. More importantly, she taught me the true love of dance. It struck me what Shanda said about dance—dance for dance itself, to get away from all your problems, and to get away from reality. I come to know what dance really means now.” With happy tears running down her cheeks, she rushed down to Shanda, giving her a big hug.

M：Do you mean to tell me not to care for modern art Not any of it
W：That's right. I don't understand it and I don't like it.
M：That's a very narrow－minded viewpoint. If you don't understand it, how can you say that you don't like it
W：Perhaps I am a little conservative. I really can't keep pace with so many changes nowadays. So, I just can't imagine that the modern artist is really serious.
M：I won't argue with you, but I think you're being unfair. The modern artist is different from the traditional artist in his work.
W：Are you trying to tell me these strange paintings mean anything A child could paint better than that.
M：I guess there's no point in discussing the matter any further. You have your opinion and I have mine.
W：I agree there are two sides to everything, but this time I see only one of them.
M：Well, I'm attempting to explain that the modern artist is trying to get across his personal feelings about the world around him.
W：Then he should keep his feelings to himself.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
To involve viewers completely, an entirely new art form is developing. It surrounds visitors with images and sounds. Sometimes unnoticeable smells are added to draw people in through yet another sense. These immersive (沉浸式的) exhibits are projected and can even change with interaction.
Monet's Garden: The Immersive Experience
A massive, immersive exhibition celebrating French artist Claude Monet will be shown in downtown New York in November, promising visitors a multisensory experience. Visitors will be greeted by pleasant smells of water lilies floating in the air and learn much about Monet, who developed from a gifted but slightly traditional landscape painter into a master of the Impressionism.
TheBlu
TheBlu, which started as a home application, is presented at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Museum lovers virtually observe a big blue whale and a whale fall where a dead whale's bones have become an undersea ecosystem. “We aim for the right level of awe (敬畏). No cheap scares. No shark jumps out at you，” says Rowell, one of the app developers. “Exploration is the heart of what ‘TheBlu’ is.”
Particle (微粒) Mirror
The Museum of Science, Boston has used the latest tech to excite visitors and inspire life long learning. Opened this year, “Particle Mirror” inspires an interest in physics. Visitors are led through nine scenes interacting with a changing variety of spots, all following the laws of physics. For example, in the “snow” scene, visitors can collect the falling particles or sweep them off the floor. Particles set off different musical sounds when pushed.
Vitality in Running
This immersive art exhibition is an interactive multi media one focusing on the culture of the Yongding River, known as the “Mother River of Beijing”. This exhibition is made up of various sections including “Flowing”， “Dawn”， “Legend”， “Coexistence”， “Fire and Dreams”， and “Four Seasons”. The exhibition feeds its visitors' souls by presenting the beauty of art through interaction with visitors by means of the latest technologies.

To create “Washed Up: Transforming a Trashed Landscape”， Alejandro Durán gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka'an, Mexico's largest federally protected reserve. The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yet every day, plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores (岸). These materials inspired Durán to create a series of environmental art pieces, which he records with photos and videos.
I had the opportunity to speak with Durán. Durán was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn. He said that he's been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years, and the work is ongoing. “The project will tell me when to stop.”
Each piece can convey a vastly different mood, from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes. “I'm making art，” said Durán. “It comes from the context and my moods. You can't say, ‘only make something dark.’” The work reflects and plays with natural forms, exploring how humans influence the environment. The colorful and playful images can be much attention grabbing. “Beauty is a hook (钩子) to attract people's attention，” said Durán.
In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem, Durán is also involved in educational programs and helps to organize beach clean ups. He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka'an, and has identified objects from 50 different countries. Although there's no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea, their labels show the global nature of the problem.

Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It was especially popular in south China during the 18th century.
Theatrical art forms in many other counties do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer doesn't speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment. It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.
Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made lightly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China's national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

A．Beijing Opera is a kind of entertainment.
B．An opera singer neither dances nor speaks on stage usually.
C．Only old people are interested in Beijing Opera.
D．Mei Lanfang was the first one to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage”和“including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment”，以及第三段中的“Mei Lanfang ... was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners”可知，C项(只有老人才对京剧感兴趣。)未在文中提及。故选C。
30．After watching Beijing Opera for the first time, the traveler felt ________．

31．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．

In 2015, Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana. Outside the couple's fourth floor apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to his job, but they never spoke.
One day, Peterson was reading a book about the power of love. Inspired by the book's compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris. He fell on hard times and ended up living on the street. “But his story inspired me.” Peterson recalled later. Peterson found himself asking if he could paint Faris's portrait.
Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on painting portraits of the homeless. Working from a black and white photo, Peterson chooses colors inspired by life story, creating a portrait. He showed one man winning his battle with alcoholism, for example, by changing the colors from a sad blue to a brilliant red. Peterson sells the picture—signed by both subject and artist—for a few thousand dollars, putting half for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.
“I've made so many mistakes thinking. I knew what people wanted，” Peterson says, “Then I realized: Why don't we just ask them？” Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent？” When the check was delivered, “they both wept in my arms，” Peterson recalls.
In the eight years since Faces of Santa Ana was established, Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now，’” Peterson says, “I didn't know that would happen.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Brian Peterson (布莱恩·彼得森)受到启发，与一个无家可归的人Matt Faris (马特·法里斯)结识并为其画像，从而成立了一个非营利组织，为无家可归者绘制肖像画的故事。
32．Which of the following best describes Peterson
A．Imaginative. B．Optimistic.
C．Persuasive. D．Caring.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Inspired by ... introduce himself.”以及下文提到的Peterson帮助无家可归的人使用卖画所得重新站起来可推知，Peterson是一个关怀他人的人。故选D。
33．Why did Peterson think he had made so many mistakes
A．He sold the pictures for money.
B．He helped the homeless back home.
C．He helped Kimberly finance her daughter.
D．He didn't realize people's specific needs.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I've made so many ... just ask them？”可知，Peterson认为他犯错误的原因是他曾经没有意识到人们具体的需求。故选D。
34．What does the author indicate in the last paragraph with others
A．The buyers liked making friends with others.
B．Peterson's behavior made a difference to the buyers.
C．The homeless would contact the buyers with similarities.
D．Everyone would be grateful to Peterson for his great work.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He's discovered ... that would happen.”可推知，Peterson的行为对购买者产生了影响，让他们改变了看待无家可归的人的态度。故选B。
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．A Nonprofit Organization
B．The Man Realizing His Art Dream
C．Kind Buyers Helping the Homeless
D．The Man Painting Portraits for the Homeless
解析：标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Peterson通过为无家可归的人绘制肖像画，来帮助他们的故事。因此D项(为无家可归者画肖像的人)最适合作为文章标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Should you listen to music when you work Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they cannot work effectively with music playing in the background. __36__ It just depends on what sort of work you're doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab with a variety of tasks. They included an easy task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and recalling the partner to each word. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, whereas others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instrumental tracks. __37__
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. __38__ Contrarily, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn't listen to any music.
__39__ Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less engaged during easier tasks, there's a greater risk of drifting off to sleep. Music might give us the extra boost we need to get refreshed. __40__ Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.
A．What should we make of these findings
B．Several key findings emerged from our study.
C．However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our mental resources.
D．Our research has found that the effects of work may depend on our personalities.
E．We want to develop a more comprehensive framework that could be applied broader.
F．However, participants who listened to complex music performed best on the easy task.
G．Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these perspectives can be true.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过实验来讨论工作的时候该不该听音乐。
36．答案：G
解析：根据上文“Some will say they love it ... with music playing in the background.(有些人会说他们喜欢它，声称它能提高他们的表现；其他人会说他们不能在有背景音乐的情况下有效地工作。)”和下文“It just depends on what sort of work you're doing.(这要看你在做什么工作了。)”可知，工作中能否听音乐，取决于所做的工作，所以说以上两种说法都有可取之处。G项(有趣的是，我们的研究发现，这两种观点都可能是正确的。)承上启下。故选G。
37．答案：B
解析：根据上文的实验过程及下文的实验发现可知，设空处应总结实验获得的收获。B项(我们的研究得出了几个关键的发现。)符合语境。故选B。
38．答案：F
解析：根据上文“We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task.”可知，听简单的音乐或不听音乐的参与者在简单任务上的表现都差不多；根据下文的内容可知，与没听音乐的人相比，听音乐的人在更难的任务上表现得更差，不管音乐的复杂性或音量大小。由此可知，设空处应对听复杂音乐的情况进行讨论。F项(然而，听复杂音乐的参与者在简单任务上表现最好。)符合语境。故选F。
39．答案：A
解析：根据下文“Not surprisingly, we typically need to ... require more brainpower.(毫不奇怪，当我们执行简单的任务时，我们通常需要更少的脑力资源，而要求更高的任务需要更多的脑力。)”可知，此处是对实验发现进行分析总结。A项(我们应该如何理解这些发现？)引出下文。故选A。
40．答案：C
解析：根据下文“Listening to music can become overkill (过犹不及). So we have to strike a balance between the type of music and the type of task.(听音乐可能会变得过犹不及。所以我们必须在音乐类型和任务类型之间取得平衡。)”可知，执行复杂任务不适合听音乐，因为执行复杂任务本身就需要消耗更多精力。C项(然而，困难的任务已经需要我们大量的脑力资源。)符合语境。故选C。

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。
Lily has finally become a good dancer now, all thanks to Shanda's presence. Of all the people in Lily's life, Shanda in particular stands out. As Lily thinks of Shanda, a smile spreads across her face. She feels loved and grateful more than ever that she has such a teacher and friend.
Eleven years of dance and going on twelve that year, she doubted it would end up like any other year. She might be stuck in any empty spot and didn't know what to do with her next dance move. Little did she know that year would change her completely.
That year, Lily felt lucky that Shanda would choreograph (编舞) for her dance. Lily expected to work with Shanda, a young talented dancer, to have an okay dance, but she never expected she would have such an impressive impact on her way to dance.
The moment Lily walked into the marble－floored, wall to wall mirrored room, she already felt like Shanda had faith in her. Shanda smiled at her with appreciative eyes. In the following days, Shanda always encouraged her, “Work to the best of your ability and keep going.” When she wanted to give up, Shanda told her that the real importance of dance was to love it.
Through their hard work and devotion, not only did Lily's ability to dance grow, but also their friendship deepened. Shanda became more than a teacher to Lily. She was also a close friend that Lily could turn to for anything. Shanda gave her encouragement when Lily needed it the most, and Shanda was always there to cheer Lily up when she felt down.
As the year quickly came to an end, it was high time for Lily to show her dance to the audience. As she walked to the backstage filled with other dancers warming up and expecting their performance, she prayed for a good performance that would convey her improvement. The rhythmic music before her rang in her ears. She waited anxiously for her turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the hostess announced “Lily”.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

[精彩范文]
Lily had butterflies in her stomach as she stepped onto the big stage. Excitement and nervousness ran through her body, disturbing yet inspiring her. Seeing Shanda smiling brightly in the audience, she calmed down a bit. Determination to succeed convinced her that she couldn't give up. With the dance music on, she danced to it in harmony, showing that she hadn't spent a year in vain. To her surprise, she danced with heart and soul, standing out from all the participants. She finally won the championship, and the whole audience applauded warmly.
Lily felt very excited when the hostess asked her to make a speech. With the gold medal in hand, she said loudly, “I owe my success to Shanda. She taught me better dance movements and techniques. More importantly, she taught me the true love of dance. It struck me what Shanda said about dance—dance for dance itself, to get away from all your problems, and to get away from reality. I come to know what dance really means now.” With happy tears running down her cheeks, she rushed down to Shanda, giving her a big hug.
