听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。18:32

Many students ask me abouthow to understand and enjoy the experience of concert going. So today, I’d liketo take some time to talk about it. First of all, a live concert is totallydifferent from listening to recordings. In a live performance, what isperformed, how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance. Theseexist only a short moment and can never be repeated. As an audience responds tothe excitement of such moments, feelings are exchanged between stage and hall.You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds performing groups.Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible, free or at arelatively low price and often of high quality. Announcements of such concertswill be found in the newspaper of our university. Performances outside theuniversity are announced in local newspapers. These concerts tend to be moreexpensive but discount tickets are often available for students. Those ticketscan usually be bought on the day or the night of the concert. You have a widechoice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internet. Ifpossible, prepare for a concert by listening to some of the works to beperformed and by reading about the musicians.

In myeveryday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways toreduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure ofinfluence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change.It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives.Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choicesthan, let’s say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lotlately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionallyproduced goods?

After doing some research, I have decided that some things are betternew and others are better used. Let me try to explain.

A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprintand the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our directemissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burningof fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. Thesecondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the wholelifecycle of products we use — those related to their production and breakdown.

Based on this understanding,we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint.Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint”group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid theadded production. However, for the car and the other appliances (设备) that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heardsomewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbonfootprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go forthe energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy thatgoes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon isworth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.

24. What is the text mainly about?

A. What appliances to buy to save energy.

B. What a carbon footprint means in ourlife.

C. How to identify different carbon footprints.

D. How to make eco-friendly lifestylechoices.

25. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?

A. It is related to our consumption of fuels.

B. It is made when we are buying theproducts.

C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.

D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.

26. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint accordingto the author?

A. Using second-hand textbooks.

B. Using old and expensive cars.

C. Buying new but cheap clothes.

D. Buying new wooden furniture.

27. “The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2produced in .

A. using the product

B.recycling the product

C. making the product

D. transporting the product

B篇[刘凯老师：语篇导读]新型环保产品和使用过的传统生产的产品，哪一种更能减少碳足迹呢？作者通过研究和对比给我们找到了答案：他们各有千秋。

24. D。主旨大意题。文章第一段中第四句Fortunately,nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices（幸运的是，现在更容易选择环保的生活方式)以及作者提出了一个问题is it better to buy neweco-friendly products or used traditionally produced ones?（买新型环保产品还是买使用过的传统生产的产品哪种更好？），而第二段是过渡段，研究表明有些时候是新型环保产品好，有时候是另一种更好。作者在接下来的段落就分析了这个答案是怎样找到的。由此可知，文章主要是围绕怎样选择更环保的生活方式展开的。故选D项。

25. D。隐含意义推测题。根据第三段中Thesecondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the wholelifecycle of products we use — those related to their production andbreakdown.(第二种碳足迹是对我们使用的产品在整个生命周期内的间接二氧化碳排放的测量，这些二氧化碳排放与产品的生产和分解有关) 可知，第二种碳足迹虽然不是我们直接产生的，但是也是我们使用的产品释放出来的，也是要归结到我们身上的。故选D项。

26. A。结论判断题。根据第四段中Thingslike dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group,so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production可知，像盘子，衣服和家具这样的物品是属于“第二种碳足迹”，所以这样的物品越少越好，我们应该注重用过的物品来避免额外的生产。二手书也是属于和衣服等可以二次使用的物品，符合题意。故选A项。

27. A。词句指代题。根据第四段中The mainconcern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new productsand whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product willmake once it gets to you. (这里主要关注的是制造新产品所消耗的能源以及一旦这种产品到达你的手中所产生的额外的碳足迹是否值得)可知，划线词组the footprint指代 “产品使用过程中产生的二氧化碳”。故选A项。

Magic is a form of entertainment that is basedon pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a speciallytrained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power todo things which are against the laws of nature.

Magic shows are entertaining as long as theaudience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usuallydepends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and,sometimes, on mechanical devices（机械装置）. Since magicperformance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. Themagician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and fromthinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audienceto draw false conclusions. The magician’s success depends on the fact that manythings seen by the eye are not the things that matter.

Two basic magic tricks are making objects seemto appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these twotricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts asmall ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cupto another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician,employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. Whiledoing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth withone hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to themagician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.

Another favourite trick is to cut or burnsomething, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is thatthe magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding itwhile the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appearwhole again by displaying (展示) another object that hasnot been cut or burned.

28. What is the author’s main purpose in writingthe text?

A. To promote a magic show.

B. To teach people to be magicians.

C. To explain the art of magic.

D. To praise the talents of magicians.

29. Which of the following is important for asuccessful magic trick?

A. Moving stage equipment.

B.Directing the audience’s attention.

C. Applying high technology.

D. Keeping the performance in secret.

30. What does the author focus on in the lasttwo paragraphs?

A. Providing examples.

B. Making a summary.

C. Drawing comparisons.

D. Explaining a concept.

31. What can we infer from the text?

A. Mechanical devices are expensive.

B. Mostmagicians employ assistants.

C. It takes practice to perform magic.

D. Small objects are magicians’ favourite.

28. C。写作目的题。通过对文章主旨大意的理解以及文章最后两端讲述的魔术技巧，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释魔法艺术。故选C项。

29. D。间接信息题。通过第二段Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does notdiscover how the tricks are done.（只要观众不知道魔术是如何表演的，魔术表演就很有趣。）以及“The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements ofhis hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.（魔术师必须防止人们注意到他的手的所有动作和思考他的设备的秘密部分。）可知，对演出保密对于魔术的成功很重要。故选D项。

The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.（例如，魔术师把一个小球放在几个杯子中的一个下面。然后球似乎从一个杯子跳到另一个杯子或改变颜色）以及最后一段the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quicklyhiding it while the audience watches something else.（魔术师通过在观众观看其他东西时迅速隐藏它，使被切割或烧毁的物体消失）可以推知，作者通过举例说明最后两段首的主题句。故选A项。

31. C。隐含意义推测题。通过文章第一段The magician is a specially trained actor.（魔术师是受过专门训练的演员）结合可推知，表演魔术需要练习。故选C项。

The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, itturned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some cancount, too.

Jennifer Vonk, of OaklandUniversity, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, setthree American black bears the task of distinguishing between numericallylarger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computerscreen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the moreheavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touchthe screen with their claws (爪子).

As the researchers report inAnimal Behavior, the bears did bestwith patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them alsotook up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears’distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting thedots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dotseven in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.

Moving patterns, where eachdot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. ButBrutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots evenwhen the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area ofthe dots at the same time.

It is not entirelysurprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face alot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, andso do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts.Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on theirfriends for help.

32. What task did thescientists set for the three bears?

A. Distinguishing different dot patterns.

B. Figuring out different colours of dots.

C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups.

D. Picking out the group with a larger number of dots.

33. For the bears, the taskwas easier when .

A. the coloured dots were moving slowly

B. the dot patterns were regular in shape

C. the dots followed a path on the screen

D. more dots covered a larger coloured area

34. What may explain thebears’ high degree of intelligence?

A. They learn skills from other animals.

B. They face life challenges on their own.

C. They feed on a diverse range of food.

D. They have complex social networks.

35. What can be a suitabletitle for the text?

A. Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours

B. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found

C. Three Bears Learned How to Count

Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popularnowadays, and for good reason. They can help you out in just about every areaof your life, whether it’s keeping fit, communicating with friends, or evenlearning a language. 36 Here’swhat you should think about before downloading an app for language learning.

• Learn from diversesources (not just apps)

Any seasoned languagelearner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is theworld which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources (来源) of information, from newspapers and books to TV, radio, music andeven real people. Would you limit yourself to one medium in your nativelanguage? 37

• Establish your purposeand plan your habits

Do you want to be fluent inweeks or are you in it for the brain training? The good apps are designed tohelp you fit your studies around your timetable. 38 These apps encourage habit building, because thesuccessful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.

语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自我

[刘凯老师：语篇导读]文章主要是关于学生该如何选择自己要上的学校的建议，虽然亲戚和同事可能有建议，但还是要自己做决定，充分考虑，保持开放的心态，把自己的教育放在首位。

56. including。考查介词。空格后跟名词family members and friends作宾语，应填介词including（包含……在内）。句意：像许多其他学生一样，你可能会有各种各样的人，包括家庭成员和朋友，为你的大学决定提供意见。

57. valuable。考查形容词。名词advice前需填形容词valuable作定语。句意：虽然许多你信任的亲戚和同龄人可能有非常有价值的建议，它可以帮助你做决定，但是最终的选择要你自己做出，也只能靠你自己做出。

58. satisfied。考查非谓语动词。此处为“make+宾语+宾补”结构，补充人应用过去分词satisfied作宾补。句意：只有你才能充分意识到大学哪些方面会让你真正感到快乐和满足，所以要把这一点放在心上。

59. to let。考查非谓语动词。此处为it作形式主语，不定式为真正主语。故填to let。句意：在你做决定的早期阶段，把一所特定的学校作为首选是很容易的，它甚至可能成为你的最佳选择——但一定要仔细评估每一所录取你的学校，因为你申请每一所学校都有特定的理由。

60. in/ during。考查介词。空格前面结构完整，说明空格需填介词与后面名词一起作状语，结合语境表示“在……中/期间”可用in/ during。句意：早期在你做决定的阶段，把一所特定的学校作为首选是很容易的。

61. that。考查定语从句。名词school后接一个句子，且空格作主语，应该是关系代词引导定语从句修饰先行词school，先行词指物，且school受every修饰，只能用关系代词that引导。句意：但一定要仔细评估每一所录取你的学校，因为你申请每一所学校都有特定的理由。

62. an。考查冠词。固定搭配keep an open mind保持开放心态。故填an。句意：一定要保持开放的心态。

63. specifically。考查副词。修饰后文介词短语for a high school relationship，应用副词specifically作状语。句意：不要专门为了一段高中恋情或者让别人开心而去一所学校上学。

64. or。考查连词。句意：不要专门为了一段高中恋情或者让别人开心而去一所学校上学。否定两个并列目的状语for a high school relationship和to make someone else happy应用连词or。

65. student’s。考查名词所有格。根据后文his or her own可知，空格提示词student与后文college experience构成所属关系，应填有生命的名词所有格形式student’s。句意：一个学生的大学经历是他或她自己的，学生必须把他或她的教育放在首位。

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。

Duringthis past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these thingshappened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One ofthose times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my bigJeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, aMexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.

Hesized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. Heconveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep,so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side ofthe road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.

Istarted taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tireiron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash downthe road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished thejob, and I was a very happy man.

Thetwo of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us towash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’ttake it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietlyas I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. Theywere in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next fewweeks. Then they would go home.

注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

WhenI was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.

Afterthey left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.

【刘凯老师分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年作者汽车出现了三次故障，大多数人都懒得帮忙，作者对此感到很厌烦。有一次，他的汽车又出故障了。他在路边求助了接近3个小时，但是没有人停下来帮忙。就在打算放弃的时候，一个过路的墨西哥家庭停下来，提供了帮助。

【刘凯老师详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“就在我要说再见的时候，女孩问我是否吃过午饭了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和墨西哥家庭一块儿吃午饭的过程。

②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。

2. 续写线索：[开端]问我是否吃过午饭。[故事发展]吃午餐——拿钱买水果——母亲送纸袋。[高潮]感谢——回家。[结局]发现东西——感悟。

3. 描写词汇：

行为类： had lunch；brought；led us to；It suddenly occurred to me that；immediately passed；we said goodbye to；sent。

情感类：ashamed；express my thanks；nodded with smile；showing my appreciation for；warmly；showed my great thanks again。

When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I'd had lunch. I'mashamed to say we didn't. ①She quickly brought me some solid foodand then led us to the back of their truck with loads of fruits in it.② It suddenly occurred to me that I could buy as much fruit aspossible to express my thanks instead of giving money. So I asked the littlegirl if I could buy some fruit. She nodded with smile but the man and his wifeimmediately passed me a large bottle of fresh fruit juicy. ③It was just at this moment that I cannot help showing myappreciation for such delicious lunch. ④When I was about to leave, the girl’smother warmly sent me a paper bag. I showed my great thanks again and we saidgoodbye to each other.

After theyleft, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. ⑤Inside was the money I offered just now. ⑥At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “Wehave only done something we should. Thanks forhaving a good day with you today, my dear friend.” ⑦With tears in my eyes, I started a car, thinking that I would never forget such an aid and determinedto offer a hand to whoever needed help if necessary.

【刘凯老师点评】本文按照一定的时间顺序进行动作描写，文章层次清楚，上下文连贯。①用and并列两个分句，使用with复合结构。②使用句型It suddenly occurred to me that和短语as much fruit as及instead of，突出动作节奏感。③应用强调句突出感情线描写。④用时间状语从句推动以时间顺序的故事发展。⑤巧用倒装句激发故事高潮。⑥At the same time连贯上下句，使用过去分词written by a girl和which引导从句作定语描写场景，适当借用直接引语体现故事真实感。⑦精准用独立主格结构作状语，分词thinking，determined渲染故事主题。
