A
From my hotel room window, I see an oversized billboard with his face on it: Jason, the Great Magician.
I absent-mindedly turn the pages of the phone book and come across a city map. Sipping my iced latté, I run my fingers along the streets from the hotel to the opera hall. Not more than a half-hour walk.
I glance at the clock. The show starts in one hour. Plenty of time! I gulp(大口吞咽) the last three sips of my latté and hop in the shower. Soon I’m on my way to the show, carrying a fancy black handbag and a genuine smile.
The billboard looks even more impressive from outside. The Great Jason’s eyes seem to be glancing through me. I shiver and walk faster. I feel like a child about to open her birthday presents.
The hall is dark when I come in; the show is about to begin. I make my way backstage just as the great magician puts on his top hat.
‘‘Daddy, I’m so glad to see you,” I say in a half-whisper. ‘‘I’m in town for the writer’s workshop, but I just couldn’t miss your show.” I give him a quick hug and go back into the seating area, leaving him with a startled smile. I settle down in the darkness, and the curtains open.
Magically, that show remains the Great Jason’s best performance to this day.
21. The underlined sentence indicates the writer is .
A. embarrassed and hesitant B. brave and determined
C. nervous and excited D. surprised and frightened
22. Why was the writer in town?
A. To go to the workshop. B. To visit the magician.
C. To enjoy the performance. D. To help people in need.
23. Who is Jason?
A. The person the writer will work with. B. The father of the writer.

When she was studying to become a scientist, Megan Strauss rode in a small airplane to study giraffes. While a pilot flew over the Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa, the researchers looked down carefully and counted giraffes.
“I am always amazed how easily we can spot warthogs(疣猪) and other small animals, yet we sometimes have trouble seeing giraffes. Giraffes are slender in shape, and they may not throw a good shadow,” says Dr. Strauss, who has since become a wildlife scientist.
The Serengeti is about the size of Vermont, a state in the northeastern US, so the scientists could not study the entire area. Instead, they surveyed three areas where giraffes were studied in the 1970s. As they expected, they saw far fewer of these animals.
To find out if lions had been killing more giraffes in recent years, the team looked at the survival of young giraffes. Lions kill more young giraffes than adults, but the team found no decrease in young giraffes’ survival after they are born, compared with the 1970s.
The team then looked at whether too many giraffes were being killed by parasites(寄生虫). The researchers counted parasite eggs in giraffe droppings, and they found too few to harm the giraffe population.
They looked into whether poachers(盗猎者) were killing too many giraffes. Two of the areas they studied are where giraffe meat is sometimes sold in local markets. Poachers catch more adult males than other giraffes. Researchers spotted too few males compared with females in those two areas, a sign of poaching.
When the food supply is short, the environment supports fewer giraffes and the females have
fewer young giraffes. A lot of new trees have grown in the Serengeti, but many are a type that giraffes do not like to eat. The researchers found fewer young giraffes today than in the 1970s compared with the number of adult females, a sign that food was in short supply.
Dr. Strauss is working on an environmental education program for Tanzania including books for students. These materials will educate Tanzanians and help them to help giraffes. As knowledge grows and changes are made, they hope the giraffe population will increase.
24. What did Dr. Strauss find while studying giraffes in the Serengeti?
A. It was too costly to study giraffes.
B. It was hard to spot giraffes from the air.
C. The number of giraffes had increased slowly.
D. Giraffes lived in smaller areas than in the 1970s.
25. How did the team study the lion-giraffe relationship?
A. By analyzing giraffe droppings.
B. By comparing young giraffes with adults.
C. By comparing male giraffes and females.
D. By surveying the survival of young giraffes.
26. What is Dr. Strauss doing to help giraffes?
A. She is founding a national park in Tanzania.
B. She is counting giraffes in the entire Serengeti.
C. She is educating students to write about giraffes.
D. She is raising environmental awareness in local people.
C
Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的). Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.
Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices. The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素). The
lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158℉ for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.
While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.
Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency. Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.
27. What does the underlined part “that feature” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Cheapness. B. Durability. C. Sustainability. D. Transparency.
28. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?
A. Dip the wood into a polymer.
B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.
C. Make the wood lignin-free.
D. Bake the wood for some time.
29. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.
B. Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.
C. The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.
D. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The bright future of the transparent wood.
B. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.
C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.
D. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.

Switching from childhood to adulthood can be challenging. 31. Work on not acting like a child by managing your emotions. With a little bit of practice, you will begin to see yourself acting more like an adult than a child.
● Accept responsibility for your actions.
You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional(故意的) or unintentional. 32. Failing to accept responsibility may seem like a good idea at the time, but in the long term it will not benefit you. For example, if you accidentally back into your neighbor’s car, let them know by writing them a note or knocking on their door. Then, correct your mistake by paying for the damage.
● Show people respect.
Respect your partner, family members, friends, and strangers. 33. As you grow up and mature, you should understand the concept of respect and why it is important. Giving respect will also give you more respect in return.
● Develop a way to handle conflict maturely.
When you are faced with a conflict, it is important to keep your emotions in check. Control your anger and avoid becoming aggressive. 34. Give yourself time to cool down if you are really angry. This will prevent you from saying and doing things that you shouldn’t do in the heat of the moment.
● Receive feedback(反馈) positively.
People learn and grow by receiving feedback and criticism from others. You should accept that you don’t know everything and that feedback from an expert is not meant to hurt you. It is meant to help you. For example, thoroughly read through your edits on your research paper. 35.
A. Take on adult responsibilities.
B. Often times, you may still feel like a child.
C. Children are often selfish and disrespectful.
D. It is a sign of maturity and respect for others.

第二节 概要写作(共25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Nowadays, it is most probable that you have an electronic device loaded with hundreds or even thousands of your favourite songs. At any moment in time, you can fill your headphones with the sounds of a particular song that suits your mood at that exact time.
Music is so common. But have you realized the power of it? Are you getting ready for a big soccer match or do you need to get excited? Maybe some hip hop with a strong beat will do the trick! Besides, you might be ready to study for a big exam the next day. To help you study better, a little bit of Mozart might make you remember things better.
We may all have been moved by particular songs that spoke to us in some situations. But is there any scientific evidence showing that music really has such effect on people? Of course, there is! Scientists have long recognized the power of music. Over the years, many studies have been done to examine in greater depth the nature and extent of the effects music has on people.
For example, scientists at the University of Missouri have found that listening to music can have positive effects on your mood. Their research gives scientific credibility(可靠性) to the behavior that many people have already experienced on their own: listening to upbeat music can brighten your day and boost your mood.
Other studies have shown that upbeat music isn’t the only type of music that can be helpful, however. When people are sad or have suffered a personal loss, sad music can be helpful because the tone and lyrics of the music can resonate(引起共鸣) with the listeners. Likewise, people under a lot of stress or experiencing upsetting situations can benefit from listening to angry music. Although angry music might not help you if you’re in a normal mood, its tone can benefit you when you are dealing with stressful and upsetting situations.

C
【答案】27-30 DBCA
【解析】这是一篇说明文。科学家们研究出了一种透明木头。文章介绍了制造这种木头的过程以及这种木头的特点和未来的应用。
28.词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).”可知,木头便宜、耐用、容易获得,最重要的是可循环利用。但是它不是透明的。而最后一句提到:由于科学家的努力,已经将“那个特点”添加到已有的特点单子里了。根据这个语境可以推知,科学家们把木头变成透明的了。“透明”也成为了它的一个特点。故选D项。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158℉ for four hours”可知,制造透明木头的过程之一是:将无木质素的木材浸泡在聚合物中,在158华氏度的温度下烘烤4小时。因此B选项提到的“减少聚合物的量”和原文不符。故B选项切题。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use”可知,现在,他们正在尝试提高制造工艺,使得透明材料制造起来更加合算,易于使用。由此推知,现在制造透明木头的成本仍然很高,需要降低成本。故C选项正确。
31.主旨大意题。最后一段介绍了透明木头将来在住宅、建筑物、太阳能电池板、环保等方面的应用。由此可知,最后一段主要介绍了透明木头的光明未来。故A选项正确。

58. 考查固定短语。句意:上周一需求的突然增加甚至导致了软件一度出现问题,它的服务已在中午恢复。lead to是固定短语,意为“导致”。故填to。
59. 考查定语从句。句意:上周一需求的突然增加甚至导致了软件一度出现问题,它的服务已在中午恢复。分析句子结构可知,逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,先行词是“software”,whose引导定语从句并在从句中作“service”的定语。故填whose。
60. 考查时态。句意:在此之前的几天,它的评分下降至1.3。此处可以表示“过去发生的事情”,应使用一般过去时;由“before that”可知,此处还可以表示“过去的过去”,使用过去完成时had dropped。故填dropped/had dropped。
61. 考查非谓语动词。句意:对于某些学生来说,他们本可以享受延长的假期,但现在不能了。extend是动词,在这里修饰“holiday”作定语,“holiday”承受“extend”的动作,因此应使用过去分词作定语。故填extended。
62. 考查主谓一致。句意:DingTalk和Tencent Meeting属于直播课程中使用的软件,这就是为什么它们获得较低评分的原因。as well as连接两个主语时,谓语动词的使用要看距离谓语动词远的那个主语,且句子表示的是一般事实,应使用一般现在时。故填is。
63. 考查冠词。句意:“谢谢你,DingTalk。你让我在假期又见到了老师”,这是一个一星评分的评论。此处表示泛指,意为“一个”一星级的评分,“1-star”的第一个发音为辅音音素,故使用不定冠词a。故填a。
64. 考查序数词。句意:“我会给你一个五星好评,分五次还清。”是另外一个对DingTalk的评价。该评论是对DingTalk的调侃,即把五星好评分成五次一星的评价,这是第一次进行评论,应使用序数词first。故填first。
65. 考查名词。句意:最近,Ding Talk发布了一个有趣的道歉卡通视频,以再次赢得其客户的支持。形容词funny修饰名词作定语,apologize是动词,它的名词是apology。故填apology。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 应用文写作(共15分)
【答案】
Dear Jack,
I admire your passion for the Chinese language and I’m more than happy to give you some help. Here is a popular four-word Chinese idiom which I think you might be interested in. It is called Shou Zhu Dai Tu which literally means to wait for a rabbit by a stump.
It is used to describe someone who is lazy and doesn’t want to work, so he sits around and waits for something good to happen. The idiom originated from the story of a farmer who witnessed a rabbit bump into a tree stump and die. This gave him the idea of waiting near the tree stump for more rabbits to kill themselves that way, so that he would be able to collect the rabbits and not have to work. The farmer waited for a long time but such a coincidence did not occur again. In the end he was ridiculed by everyone because it was such a foolish idea that it would never have worked.
My teachers often use this idiom to encourage students to put their best efforts into studying. I think it is equal to expressions like ‘‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” The lesson behind this idiom is—if we really long for something, we have to strive for it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
