M：Hey, Linda, did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year W：Not yet, are there a lot of changes M：There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we are now able to choose how many meals a week we want and can contract just for that amount. We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning, but we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twenty one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get each week marked on it. W：That's a big change, Tom, and a complicated system. M：Yeah, but it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat. W：So what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time M：It's better for them too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is. W：I see. It still sounds rather complicated. M：True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten meal plan. W：Why is that M：Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten meal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price. And I won't be paying for meals I don't usually eat.

Right, women's positions in the United States have changed. In the past, in many families in the United States, the husband had a job and supported his family. His wife worked at home doing the cooking, the washing, and the house cleaning and raising the children. After World War Ⅱ， it became necessary for more women to find work outside the home in order to make more money. But women were expected to accept jobs that did not pay very much money. This was because women had not received enough education when they were young. It was also because many believed that women could not do things as well as men. In those days women were to make their husbands happy by running a comfortable home.
18．When did most of the American women begin to work outside
A．After the First World War.
B．After the Second World War.
C．After the Civil War.
答案：B
19．What did women in the United States use to do
A．House keeping. B．Farm work.
C．Nursing work.
答案：A
20．Why were women paid less than men in the past
A．They only knew how to do house keeping.
B．They had limited education.
C．They were weaker than men.
答案：B

Transportation shapes the world: along with communications, it forms a global net that connects person to person, city to city, and country to country. Transportation routes as well as vehicles are vital to the functioning and spread of every civilization.
A country's economy depends on reliable transportation. Cities spread out along roads, rivers, and rails, so does information. Until the 20th century, these routes were confined to land or water. With the invention of powered flight, the air became an open road as well. The earliest way of traveling was undoubtedly by foot, and humans' earliest means of transporting goods was carrying loads on their back or head. By 4000 BC, people were using domesticated animals for transport, a method greatly improved in some parts of the world by the invention of the wheel, probably first developed around 3500 BC.
Until the 19th century, animals were the engines of land transportation. But with the invention of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, railroads and automobiles revolutionized travel and trade. More than 600 million cars and trucks travel the world today.
Water has always been a fast and efficient mode of travel, and even today it remains a primary mover of heavy goods. The importance of waterways to human civilization can be seen on any map: almost all of the world's major cities are located on coastlines or rivers. As early as 7000 BC, people were building canoes; long distance ships were common by 3000 BC. Until the 1950s, ships were the chief means of overseas passenger travel.
Although the Montgolfier brothers took flight in balloons in the 18th century, air travel was not practical until the invention of powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. Within ten years, the commercial air transportation business had begun.
Since the 20th century, high speed rail has become another convenient way of travel. Today, two thirds of the world's high speed rail track is in China, which measures nearly 30，000 kms, and this is expected to reach 38，000 kms in the future.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交通随着技术的发展而不断进步，并列举了水路、火车、航空以及高铁这几种交通方式的发展。
24．Why does the writer mention the location of the world's major cities
A．To encourage more people to move to big cities.
B．To explain why boats and ships continue to be irreplaceable.
C．To recommend water as a convenient and cheap form of transportation.
D．To emphasize the contribution of water transport to human development.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Water has always ... or rivers.”可知，水路一直是一种快捷高效的运输方式，即使在今天，它仍然是重型货物的主要运输方式。水路对人类文明的重要性可以在任何地图上看到：世界上几乎所有的主要城市都位于海岸线或河流上。由此可推知，作者提到世界主要城市的位置，是为了强调水运对人类发展的贡献。故选D。
25．What can we learn about air travel
A．Balloons used to be one popular way of air travel.
B．The Montgolfier brothers invented powered flight.
C．The invention of airplanes helped popularize air travel.
D．Air travel became widespread soon after the balloon was invented.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，尽管在18世纪，Montgolfier (蒙戈菲耶)兄弟就用气球来飞行，但是直到1903年Wright (莱特)兄弟发明了动力飞机，航空旅行才变得实用起来。不到十年，商业航空运输业务开始了。由此可知，飞机的发明促进了航空旅行的普及。故选C。
26．What is the total length of high speed rail track in the world today
A．About 57，000 kms.
B．About 45，000 kms.
C．About 38，000 kms.
D．About 30，000 kms.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Today, two thirds ... in the future.”可知，如今，世界上三分之二的高速铁路在中国，总长近3万公里，预计未来这一数字还将达到3.8万公里。由此可推知，当今世界高速铁路的总长度约(3除以2/3)4.5万公里。故选B。
27．What is the passage mainly about
A．Technological advancements in transport over time.
B．The influence of economic activities on transportation.
C．The relationship between transportation and information flows.
D．Reasons why land and sea transportation routes were important.
答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了随着技术的发展，水路、火车、航空以及高铁这几种交通方式不断进步。故选A。
C
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”．
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了互联网给人类记忆的方式带来的影响。
28．The passage begins with two questions to ________．
A．introduce the main topic
B．show the author's attitude
C．describe how to use the Internet
D．explain how to store information
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。第一段中的“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.(专家们想知道，互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆，以及如何改变我们的记忆。)”是本文的中心话题，由此可推知，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。故选A。
29．What can we learn about the first experiment
A．Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B．The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C．The first group did not try to remember the information.
D．The second group did not understand the information.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People in the first group ... try to remember it.(第一组的人知道他们可以再次找到信息，所以他们没有试图记住它。)”可知，第一组没有试图记住信息。故选C。
30．In transactive memory, people ________．
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organize information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“When people use ... called ‘transactive memory (交互记忆)’．”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。故选D。
31．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A．We are using memory differently.
B．We are becoming more intelligent.
C．We have poorer memories than before.
D．We need a better way to access information.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人类的记忆产生的影响是它改变了人类使用记忆力的方式。故选A。
D
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine__through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章通过对比纸质阅读与数字阅读的差异和效果，强调纸质阅读对深度学习和记忆的重要性。
32．What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Seem unlikely to last.
B．Seem hard to explain.
C．Become ready to use.
D．Become easy to notice.
答案：D
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“When reading texts ... this finding.”可知，当阅读几百字或更多字的文本时，纸质阅读通常比屏幕阅读更能取得良好的学习效果，接着谈到大量的研究证实了这一发现。所以画线短语所在部分意为“当实验人员从提出简单的任务转向需要抽象思维的任务时，纸质阅读的好处尤其明显”，由此可推知，画线短语表示“显而易见”。故选D。
33．What does the shallowing hypothesis assume
A．Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B．Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C．People select digital texts randomly.
D．Digital texts are suitable for social media.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“which are often not so serious”以及“devote less mental effort”可知，在对待电子文本的时候，读者通常不是很严肃，同时比阅读纸质文本时投入的精力要少，即读者对电子文本不是很重视。故选A。
34．Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers
A．They can hold students' attention.
B．They are more convenient to prepare.
C．They help develop advanced skills.
D．They are more informative than text.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Audio (音频) and video ... to these technologies”可知，音频和视频比文字更吸引人，所以大学教师越来越多地改用这些技术。故选A。
35．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B．Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C．Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D．Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, for maximizing learning ... when they contain identical words.”可知，教育工作者不应该认为所有媒体的效果是一样的。由此可推知，本文主要介绍了纸质阅读在学习效果方面相较于数字阅读的优势，暗示了纸质文本在教育中是不能完全被取代的。故选C。
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。
The history of writing instruments, with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.
The handy sharpened stone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24，000 BC, the cave man started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of his cave. __36__ Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.
Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6，000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paperlike material called papyrus. The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus”．
__37__ Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reed pen perfect for the papyrus. __38__ And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎) into an early form of a fountain pen.
Another writing instrument that remained active in history for a long period was the quill (鹅毛) pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. __39__ For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.
When writers had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence, man's inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument. __40__
A．Now something was needed to write upon the papyrus.
B．The papyrus became the most popular material at that time.
C．Swan feathers were of a high quality, being rare and most expensive.
D．Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.
E．This led to the development of the modern fountain pen in the 19th century.
F．These were mostly the stems of grasses, especially from the bamboo plant.
G．These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了书写工具的发展历史。
36．答案：G
解析：上文“Around 24，000 BC ... of his cave.”提到大约公元前24，000年，穴居人开始用石头在洞穴的墙上画画。因此，G项(这些图画展示了日常生活中的事件，如种植庄稼或打猎的胜利。)承接上文，说明穴居人的画的具体内容。故选G。
37．答案：A
解析：下文提到不能用骨头或金属棒在纸莎草纸上书写，以免纸莎草纸被划破，因此，A项(现在需要某个东西在纸莎草纸上写。)引出下文。故选A。
38．答案：F
解析：上文提到埃及人创造了一种芦苇笔，完美地用于纸莎草纸。因此，F项(这些主要是草的茎，尤其是竹子的茎。)承接上文，说明芦苇笔用的材料。故选F。
39．答案：C
解析：上文提到鹅毛笔，因此，C项(天鹅羽毛质量很好，既稀有又昂贵。)承接上文，符合本段主旨。故选C。
40．答案：E
解析：上文提到当作家们有了更好的墨水和纸张，书法已经发展成为一种艺术形式和日常生活的一部分时，人类的创造性再一次转向改进书写工具。因此，E项(这推动了19世纪现代钢笔的发展。)承接上文，与上文构成因果关系。故选E。

61．答案：is based
解析：考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。本句中主语the operating model和谓语动词base之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；be based on意为“以……为基础”，且本句描述客观事实，应用一般现在时；主语为单数，助动词应用is。故填is based。

[精彩范文]
China in 100 Years
I frequently dream about life in China in one hundred years.
In the future, people will probably invent more robots to do all kinds of things for them. For example, by using robots, it is not necessary for people to do housework and can save more time to enjoy themselves. Besides, almost everyone wants to fly into the sky, which will possibly come true in one hundred years. What's more, people may go to work or travel by private spaceship. It is very convenient and there is no need to worry about the traffic jam.
I believe it will be more prosperous.
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。
Sara Savick remembers one special Easter when she was nine years old. Her parents gave her a baby duckling in a yellow basket.
“Mom said later that she bought the little duck because she felt sorry for it，” recalled Sara. The people at the pet store colored the feathers pink for Easter. Sara named the duck Pinky.
Sara's mother really didn't think the baby duck would survive very long. But to her surprise, Pinky grew and got stronger and stronger. Soon, the little duckling was a healthy, hungry duck with white feathers.
“We fed Pinky oatmeal, cooked and uncooked, and small pieces of vegetables，” said Sara. Pinky lived inside the house with Sara and her family. She specially fancied taking baths with Sara. Everyone treated Pinky as a family member.
But just when everything appeared to be perfect, the night of the “talk” came. Sara's Mom and Dad sat her down, explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life, with other ducks. It was not natural for ducks to live indoors with a family, her father told her. He added Pinky needed to swim in ponds and do all the same things that ducks in the wild do.
Sara started to cry, knowing what was going to happen. Sara's parents decided to take Pinky to a park, which was two miles away. There was a pond with a lot of other ducks. Pinky would have the chance to live a natural life and Sara could still visit her.
The big day came, Sara and her parents put Pinky in a box and drove to the park. Sara said that Pinky did not look happy; maybe Pinky was convinced that she was a human, not a duck.
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。
Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara's father. The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn't believe her eyes!
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Sara (萨拉)收到了一个复活节的礼物——一只小鸭子，给其起名为Pinky (皮尼克)。随着Pinky的长大，父母认为它应该和其他正常的鸭子一样生活，于是决定放生它。一家人怀着不舍和担忧将Pinky放生在了2英里外的池塘。Sara会作何感受？第二天Sara看向窗外，不敢相信自己的眼睛，她看到了什么？
[精彩范文]
Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara's father. But he tried to convince Sara that Pinky was fine. Walking towards the car, Sara looked over her shoulder and saw Pinky standing alone. The other ducks were swimming around in circles, looking at Pinky. To Sara, it seemed that they were trying to identify the strange animal. They didn't recognize Pinky as a duck. Worried about Pinky, Sara dreamed of Pinky being bullied by other ducks the whole night.
The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn't believe her eyes! There was Pinky, happily walking around on the grass. Thrilled at what she saw, she kept asking herself, “How did she make it？” After all, it was two miles away and she managed to walk back through the city street. Incredible! But her parents drove Pinky back to the pond again regardless of her request. The following morning, there was Pinky again on the grass! Seeing Pinky again, her father, waving his arms about wildly, moved his lips without saying anything. Meanwhile, Sarah, overjoyed, hugged Pinky tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

M：Hey, Linda, did you get that letter about the new options for food service next year
W：Not yet, are there a lot of changes
M：There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we are now able to choose how many meals a week we want and can contract just for that amount. We still have to pay the whole year at the beginning, but we can choose to buy seven, ten, fourteen or twenty one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get each week marked on it.
W：That's a big change, Tom, and a complicated system.
M：Yeah, but it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don't have to pay for meals they don't eat.
W：So what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time
M：It's better for them too, because the more meals you contract for, the cheaper each one is.
W：I see. It still sounds rather complicated.
M：True. It took me several hours to figure it out. I decided to go with the ten meal plan.
W：Why is that
M：Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten meal plan gives me lunch and dinner every weekday at a fairly low price. And I won't be paying for meals I don't usually eat.
11．What are the speakers talking about
A．How much money they spend on meals.
B．The changes of the food service in the school.
C．The changes of food in the dining hall.

B．He doesn't like them.

Right, women's positions in the United States have changed. In the past, in many families in the United States, the husband had a job and supported his family. His wife worked at home doing the cooking, the washing, and the house cleaning and raising the children. After World War Ⅱ， it became necessary for more women to find work outside the home in order to make more money. But women were expected to accept jobs that did not pay very much money. This was because women had not received enough education when they were young. It was also because many believed that women could not do things as well as men. In those days women were to make their husbands happy by running a comfortable home.
18．When did most of the American women begin to work outside
A．After the First World War.
B．After the Second World War.
C．After the Civil War.
19．What did women in the United States use to do
A．House keeping. B．Farm work.
C．Nursing work.
20．Why were women paid less than men in the past
A．They only knew how to do house keeping.
B．They had limited education.
C．They were weaker than men.

Transportation shapes the world: along with communications, it forms a global net that connects person to person, city to city, and country to country. Transportation routes as well as vehicles are vital to the functioning and spread of every civilization.
A country's economy depends on reliable transportation. Cities spread out along roads, rivers, and rails, so does information. Until the 20th century, these routes were confined to land or water. With the invention of powered flight, the air became an open road as well. The earliest way of traveling was undoubtedly by foot, and humans' earliest means of transporting goods was carrying loads on their back or head. By 4000 BC, people were using domesticated animals for transport, a method greatly improved in some parts of the world by the invention of the wheel, probably first developed around 3500 BC.
Until the 19th century, animals were the engines of land transportation. But with the invention of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, railroads and automobiles revolutionized travel and trade. More than 600 million cars and trucks travel the world today.
Water has always been a fast and efficient mode of travel, and even today it remains a primary mover of heavy goods. The importance of waterways to human civilization can be seen on any map: almost all of the world's major cities are located on coastlines or rivers. As early as 7000 BC, people were building canoes; long distance ships were common by 3000 BC. Until the 1950s, ships were the chief means of overseas passenger travel.
Although the Montgolfier brothers took flight in balloons in the 18th century, air travel was not practical until the invention of powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. Within ten years, the commercial air transportation business had begun.
Since the 20th century, high speed rail has become another convenient way of travel. Today, two thirds of the world's high speed rail track is in China, which measures nearly 30，000 kms, and this is expected to reach 38，000 kms in the future.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交通随着技术的发展而不断进步，并列举了水路、火车、航空以及高铁这几种交通方式的发展。
24．Why does the writer mention the location of the world's major cities
A．To encourage more people to move to big cities.
B．To explain why boats and ships continue to be irreplaceable.
C．To recommend water as a convenient and cheap form of transportation.
D．To emphasize the contribution of water transport to human development.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Water has always ... or rivers.”可知，水路一直是一种快捷高效的运输方式，即使在今天，它仍然是重型货物的主要运输方式。水路对人类文明的重要性可以在任何地图上看到：世界上几乎所有的主要城市都位于海岸线或河流上。由此可推知，作者提到世界主要城市的位置，是为了强调水运对人类发展的贡献。故选D。
25．What can we learn about air travel
A．Balloons used to be one popular way of air travel.
B．The Montgolfier brothers invented powered flight.
C．The invention of airplanes helped popularize air travel.
D．Air travel became widespread soon after the balloon was invented.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，尽管在18世纪，Montgolfier (蒙戈菲耶)兄弟就用气球来飞行，但是直到1903年Wright (莱特)兄弟发明了动力飞机，航空旅行才变得实用起来。不到十年，商业航空运输业务开始了。由此可知，飞机的发明促进了航空旅行的普及。故选C。
26．What is the total length of high speed rail track in the world today
A．About 57，000 kms.
B．About 45，000 kms.
C．About 38，000 kms.
D．About 30，000 kms.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Today, two thirds ... in the future.”可知，如今，世界上三分之二的高速铁路在中国，总长近3万公里，预计未来这一数字还将达到3.8万公里。由此可推知，当今世界高速铁路的总长度约(3除以2/3)4.5万公里。故选B。
27．What is the passage mainly about
A．Technological advancements in transport over time.
B．The influence of economic activities on transportation.
C．The relationship between transportation and information flows.
D．Reasons why land and sea transportation routes were important.
解析：主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了随着技术的发展，水路、火车、航空以及高铁这几种交通方式不断进步。故选A。
C
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”．
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了互联网给人类记忆的方式带来的影响。
28．The passage begins with two questions to ________．
A．introduce the main topic
B．show the author's attitude
C．describe how to use the Internet
D．explain how to store information
解析：推理判断题。第一段中的“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.(专家们想知道，互联网是否正在改变我们的记忆，以及如何改变我们的记忆。)”是本文的中心话题，由此可推知，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。故选A。
29．What can we learn about the first experiment
A．Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B．The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C．The first group did not try to remember the information.
D．The second group did not understand the information.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People in the first group ... try to remember it.(第一组的人知道他们可以再次找到信息，所以他们没有试图记住它。)”可知，第一组没有试图记住信息。故选C。
30．In transactive memory, people ________．
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organize information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“When people use ... called ‘transactive memory (交互记忆)’．”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。故选D。
31．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A．We are using memory differently.
B．We are becoming more intelligent.
C．We have poorer memories than before.
D．We need a better way to access information.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人类的记忆产生的影响是它改变了人类使用记忆力的方式。故选A。
D
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine__through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章通过对比纸质阅读与数字阅读的差异和效果，强调纸质阅读对深度学习和记忆的重要性。
32．What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Seem unlikely to last. B．Seem hard to explain.
C．Become ready to use. D．Become easy to notice.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“When reading texts ... this finding.”可知，当阅读几百字或更多字的文本时，纸质阅读通常比屏幕阅读更能取得良好的学习效果，接着谈到大量的研究证实了这一发现。所以画线短语所在部分意为“当实验人员从提出简单的任务转向需要抽象思维的任务时，纸质阅读的好处尤其明显”，由此可推知，画线短语表示“显而易见”。故选D。
33．What does the shallowing hypothesis assume
A．Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B．Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C．People select digital texts randomly.
D．Digital texts are suitable for social media.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“which are often not so serious”以及“devote less mental effort”可知，在对待电子文本的时候，读者通常不是很严肃，同时比阅读纸质文本时投入的精力要少，即读者对电子文本不是很重视。故选A。
34．Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers
A．They can hold students' attention.
B．They are more convenient to prepare.
C．They help develop advanced skills.
D．They are more informative than text.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Audio (音频) and video ... to these technologies”可知，音频和视频比文字更吸引人，所以大学教师越来越多地改用这些技术。故选A。
35．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B．Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C．Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D．Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, for maximizing learning ... when they contain identical words.”可知，教育工作者不应该认为所有媒体的效果是一样的。由此可推知，本文主要介绍了纸质阅读在学习效果方面相较于数字阅读的优势，暗示了纸质文本在教育中是不能完全被取代的。故选C。
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。
The history of writing instruments, with which humans have recorded and conveyed thoughts and feelings, is the history of civilization itself. This is how we know about our ancestors and their life.
The handy sharpened stone was adapted into the first writing instrument. Around 24，000 BC, the cave man started drawing pictures with the stone onto the walls of his cave. __36__ Walls at the Apollo site in Namibia are believed to be the oldest rock paintings to date.
Before paper came along, people used clay or wax tablets on which they wrote with sharp objects such as metal sticks or bones. Around 6，000 years ago, the Egyptians invented the first paperlike material called papyrus. The word “paper” actually comes from the word “papyrus”．
__37__ Bones or metal sticks were no longer useful as the papyrus could not be scratched. So the Egyptians created a reed pen perfect for the papyrus. __38__ And thus, ancient Egyptians transformed bamboo stems (茎) into an early form of a fountain pen.
Another writing instrument that remained active in history for a long period was the quill (鹅毛) pen. Introduced around 700 AD, the quill was a pen made from a bird feather. Goose feathers were most common. __39__ For making fine line drawings, crow feathers were the best.
When writers had better inks and paper and handwriting had developed into both an art form and an everyday occurrence, man's inventive nature once again turned to improving the writing instrument. __40__
A．Now something was needed to write upon the papyrus.
B．The papyrus became the most popular material at that time.
C．Swan feathers were of a high quality, being rare and most expensive.
D．Bamboo stems were better and much more expensive than goose feathers.
E．This led to the development of the modern fountain pen in the 19th century.
F．These were mostly the stems of grasses, especially from the bamboo plant.
G．These drawings showed events in daily life like the planting of crops or hunting victories.

China in 100 Years
I frequently dream about life in China in one hundred years.
In the future, people will probably invent more robots to do all kinds of things for them. For example, by using robots, it is not necessary for people to do housework and can save more time to enjoy themselves. Besides, almost everyone wants to fly into the sky, which will possibly come true in one hundred years. What's more, people may go to work or travel by private spaceship. It is very convenient and there is no need to worry about the traffic jam.
I believe it will be more prosperous.
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。
Sara Savick remembers one special Easter when she was nine years old. Her parents gave her a baby duckling in a yellow basket.
“Mom said later that she bought the little duck because she felt sorry for it，” recalled Sara. The people at the pet store colored the feathers pink for Easter. Sara named the duck Pinky.
Sara's mother really didn't think the baby duck would survive very long. But to her surprise, Pinky grew and got stronger and stronger. Soon, the little duckling was a healthy, hungry duck with white feathers.
“We fed Pinky oatmeal, cooked and uncooked, and small pieces of vegetables，” said Sara. Pinky lived inside the house with Sara and her family. She specially fancied taking baths with Sara. Everyone treated Pinky as a family member.
But just when everything appeared to be perfect, the night of the “talk” came. Sara's Mom and Dad sat her down, explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life, with other ducks. It was not natural for ducks to live indoors with a family, her father told her. He added Pinky needed to swim in ponds and do all the same things that ducks in the wild do.
Sara started to cry, knowing what was going to happen. Sara's parents decided to take Pinky to a park, which was two miles away. There was a pond with a lot of other ducks. Pinky would have the chance to live a natural life and Sara could still visit her.
The big day came, Sara and her parents put Pinky in a box and drove to the park. Sara said that Pinky did not look happy; maybe Pinky was convinced that she was a human, not a duck.
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。
Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara's father. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn't believe her eyes! ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Sara (萨拉)收到了一个复活节的礼物——一只小鸭子，给其起名为Pinky (皮尼克)。随着Pinky的长大，父母认为它应该和其他正常的鸭子一样生活，于是决定放生它。一家人怀着不舍和担忧将Pinky放生在了2英里外的池塘。Sara会作何感受？第二天Sara看向窗外，不敢相信自己的眼睛，她看到了什么？
[精彩范文]
Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara's father. But he tried to convince Sara that Pinky was fine. Walking towards the car, Sara looked over her shoulder and saw Pinky standing alone. The other ducks were swimming around in circles, looking at Pinky. To Sara, it seemed that they were trying to identify the strange animal. They didn't recognize Pinky as a duck. Worried about Pinky, Sara dreamed of Pinky being bullied by other ducks the whole night.
The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn't believe her eyes! There was Pinky, happily walking around on the grass. Thrilled at what she saw, she kept asking herself, “How did she make it？” After all, it was two miles away and she managed to walk back through the city street. Incredible! But her parents drove Pinky back to the pond again regardless of her request. The following morning, there was Pinky again on the grass! Seeing Pinky again, her father, waving his arms about wildly, moved his lips without saying anything. Meanwhile, Sarah, overjoyed, hugged Pinky tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
