35、。CFull stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic experts.Teenagers and those in their early twenties, classified as Generation Z, have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages witho
36、ut full stops. Linguistic experts are now investigating why teens interpret a correctly-punctuated text as a signal of annoyance.The debate became active again after writer Rhiannon Cosslett tweeted: “Older people, do you realise that ending a sentence with a full stop conies across as sort of abrup
37、t and unfriendly to younger people in a message?” Genuinely curious. That caused crime novelist Sophie Hannah to reply: “Just asked 16-year-old son apparently this is true. If he got a message with full stops at the end of sentences? Hed think the sender was weird, mean or too blunt.”According to ex
38、perts, youngsters used to communicating electronically break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than using a full stop, which they use only to signal they are annoyed. Some have said the full stop is unnecessary when used in texting because the message is ended just
39、by sending it.Linguist Dr Lauren Fonteyn of Leiden University in Holland tweeted: “If you send a text message without a full stop, its already obvious that youve concluded the message. So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling
40、intonation (语调) or negative tone. Make your sentence an open end. and it will make friends online very happy and relaxed. So full stops could be unnecessary in most cases.”Professor David Crystal? one of the worlds leading language experts, argues that the usage of full stops is being “revised in a
41、really fundamental way”. In his book, Making a Point, he says that the punctuation mark has become an “emotion marker” which warns the recipient (接受者) that the sender is angry or annoyed.8.

42、rd.9. Why do the Generation Z dislike full stops when texting?A. Full stops end the conversation awkwardly.B. Full stops make messages more boring.C.

Will full stops be replaced in messages?B. Does a full stop really conclude a message?C. How do full stops make recipients embarrassed?D. How do
44、we understand punctuation marks in messages?【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了在社交媒体交流中使用“句号”会让年轻人感到害怕,因为它们会被解读为愤怒的信号。【8题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后面“as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic experts(根据语言学家的说法,因为它们被解读为愤怒的表现)”可知,they指的是上文中的Full stops。由此可知,年青人认为是Full stops在表达愤怒
45、,所以看到Full stops时,他们很可能会感到害怕。故选A项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Full stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic experts.(根据语言学家的说法,在社交媒体交流中使用“句号”会让年轻人感到害怕,因为它们会被解读为愤怒的信号)”和第二段中的“Linguistic experts are now investigating
46、 why teens interpret a correctly-punctuated text as a signal of annoyance.(语言专家正在研究为什么青少年会把标点符号正确的文本解读为一种恼怒的信号)”可知, Z一代不喜欢发信息时用句号是因为句号被认为是发件人恼怒的表达。故选D项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中Dr Lauren Fonteyn 的话“Make your sentence an open end and it will make friends online very happy and relaxed. So full stops could b
47、e unnecessary in most cases.(让你的句子成为一个开放式的结尾,这会让网上的朋友们非常开心和放松。所以在大多数情况下,句号可能是不必要的)”可推知,Dr Lauren Fonteyn对用full stops来结束句子持否定或消极态度。故选C项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Full stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic exp
48、erts.( 根据语言学家的说法,在社交媒体交流中使用“句号”会让年轻人感到害怕,因为它们会被解读为愤怒的信号)”及下文介绍可知,文章主要介绍了在社交媒体交流中使用“句号”会让年轻人感到害怕的现象及原因。由此可知,B项“Does a full stop really conclude a message?(句号真的能结束信息吗?)”适合做本文最佳标题,用问句的方式提出话题,吸引读者通过阅读找出答案的。故选B项。DWhen we drive between two similar mature woodlands,we notice that one is crowded with beauti
49、ful flowers while the other has none. Why dont wildflowers spread from one forest to another?It depends on how the seeds are spread. If seeds are spread by wind, the flowers can turn up almost anywhere. Plants with berries are often spread by birds or small mammals so they are pretty well distribute
50、d. But for plants that are planted by ants, roads can be an obstacle (障碍). So can competition. Wildflower seeds would not last long if they merely ripened and fell to the forest floor. Those seeds that were not eaten by birds and small mammals would grow into tiny shoots ill-equipped to compete with
51、 their parent plants. A young plant has a much better chance at survival if its seed is carried away from the parents. In the case of flowers such as trillium and violets, ants spread and plant the seeds.The seeds of these wildflowers are coated with a fleshy globe called an elaiosome filled with oi
52、ls and sometimes sugars. These must be irresistible. Consequently, ants pull them into their nests to be consumed or fed to their young. The actual seeds have extremely hard shells much too hard for ants to eat, so the tidy creatures desert the seeds in one of their underground tunnels. Underground,
53、 the wildflower seeds may develop and begin the long process of reaching maturity and blooming.Researchers have documented ants dragging seeds as far as 70 yards. It is unthinkable that our forest ants would go across a road, a plowed field, or even a lawn. Wildflowers can spread by stems and runner
54、s, but asphalt (沥青) can stop their spread. Ecologists are starting to talk more and more about “wildlife corridors (走廊) providing passage for wildlife across artificial obstacles such as dams, roads and railways” and when they do, we tend to think of large mammals or migrating birds. But small creat
55、ures need wildlife corridors too. Ants, turtles and squirrels need to move between woodlots, because in the process of feeding themselves these creatures are making our forests sustainable.12. According to the text,the young plants have greater survival chances when the seeds_.A. fall to the forest
56、floorB. are deserted in a shady placeC. arent eaten by birds or mammalsD. grow away from their parent plants13. What can we learn about elaiosome from paragraph 3?A. Its lacking in nutrition.B. Its coated with soft shells.C. Its a tasty treat for ants.D. Its often deserted outside the ant nest.14. W
57、hat are wildlife corridors used to do?A. Spread flower seeds faster.B. Raise small creatures.C. Assist wildlife to cross roads.D. Provide food for the migrating birds.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Thank ants for wildflowersB. Discover wildflowers treasuresC. Protect the environment
58、for wildflowersD. Develop new species of wildflowers【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了蚂蚁和其他一些小动物在植物种子传播中所起的作用。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“A young plant has a much better chance at survival if its seed is carried away from the parents.(如果幼苗的种子被从父母身边带走,它有更好的生存机会)”可知,如果种子远离母本,幼苗的生存机会会大得多。故选D
59、。13题详解】推断判断题。根据第三段的“The seeds of these wildflowers are coated with a fleshy globe called an elaiosome filled with oils and sometimes sugars. These must be irresistible. Consequently, ants pull them into their nests to be consumed or fed to their young.(这些野花的种子上覆盖着一个肉质球体,被称为elaiosome,里面满是油,有时还有糖。这些一定
60、是不可抗拒的。因此,蚂蚁会把它们拉进巢穴,以便吃掉或喂养它们的幼崽)”可知,蚂蚁把elaiosome拖到巢里吃掉或用来喂养幼蚁。由此推知,elaiosome对于蚂蚁来说是一顿美味大餐。故选C。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Ecologists are starting to talk more and more about “wildlife corridors (走廊) providing passage for wildlife across artificial obstacles such as dams, roads and railways” and when they
61、 do, we tend to think of large mammals or migrating birds.( 生态学家们开始越来越多地谈论“野生动物走廊为野生动物跨越水坝、公路和铁路等人工障碍提供通道”,而当他们这样做时,我们往往会想到大型哺乳动物或候鸟)”可知,野生动物走廊主要是为协助野生动物横穿道路设计的。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Researchers have documented ants dragging seeds as far as 70 yards.(研究人员已经记录了蚂蚁可以把种子拖70码远)”以及其它内容可知,文章讲述了蚂蚁在野花的种子传
62、播过程中功不可没。因此当我们看到野花,我们应该感谢那些小小的蚂蚁,因此推断A项“因为野花感谢蚂蚁”为最佳标题。故选A。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。Team effectiveness refers to the system of getting people in a company or institution to work together effectively.

64、ten a recipe for disaster.The interest that the group has in the project strongly influences its effectiveness. If the job is too easy or too difficult? or if the rewards for achieving the end result do not seem worth the effort, the team may end up working half-heartedly. _18_ Working towards a spe
65、cific goal improves the effectiveness of a team significantly.Sometimes, groups end up making decisions which they know are not in the best interest of the project. _19_ Conflict is innate (天生的)to any work done in groups. So it should be taken as part of the challenge rather than as something to be
66、avoided by compromising._20_ As conflicts arise, it is important to know how to deal with them. Teams should decide what is allowed and what is not, how the team will deal with disagreements, and whether open discussion is favored or whether the group will vote on major decisions. Knowing what to ex

One way to improve team effectiveness is to agree beforehand on a code of conduct.【答案】16. E 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. G【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了团队成员间如何协作才能提高工作效率。【16题详解】下文“
69、How effective a team is depends in part on bringing together people who have different skills that somehow complement (互补)each other”介绍团队的效率在一定程度上取决于聚集具有不同技能的人,从而相互补充,E项内容“一个团队的有效性是由许多因素决定的。”与下文内容存在解释关系,下文具体论述一个团队的效率取决于多种因素。故选E。【17题详解】前文“How effective a team is depends in part on bringing together p
70、eople who have different skills that somehow complement (互补)each other”介绍团队的效率在一定程度上取决于聚集具有不同技能的人,从而相互补充,F项内容“这可以包括不同的技术能力或沟通技巧。”与本空前一句内容存在指代关系,this指代前一句的different skills that somehow complement each other。故选F。【18题详解】后文“Working towards a specific goal improves the effectiveness of a team significant
71、ly.”说明朝着特定目标努力可以显著提高团队的效率。A项内容与后一句内容存在因果关系:任务应该有一个清晰的结果,因为朝具体的目标工作会极大地提高团队效率。故选A。【19题详解】前文“Sometimes, groups end up making decisions which they know are not in the best interest of the project.”说明有时,小组最终会做出他们知道不符合项目最佳利益的决定。B项内容与前一句内容存在解释关系,说明这样做的目的只是让计划持续进行。故选B。【20题详解】下文“Teams should decide what is
72、allowed and what is not, how the team will deal with disagreements, and whether open discussion is favored or whether the group will vote on major decisions. Knowing what to expect and having the plan will make the process of working in group much easier.(团队应该决定什么是允许的,什么是不允许的,团队将如何处理分歧,是否支持公开讨论,或者小组
73、是否会对重大决定进行投票。知道会发生什么和制定计划将使团队工作的过程变得更加容易)”可知,本段主要讲事先对一些行为准则达成一致对提高团队效率很重要。G项“提高团队效率的一种方法是事先同意行为准则。”与本段内容吻合,总领该段。故选G。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。As a child, I learned what it was like to make every dollar stretch (省着花),convinced that, financially,

95、生于唐代(618-907年),以画马而闻名,他画的马不仅形似而且神韵俱到。分析句子结构可知,空格处是and并列句中谓语动词,根据语境和前一分句时态可判断应使用一般过去时态,且主语是第三人称单数代词he,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式,再结合句意和提示词可知应使用固定短语be known for(因而出名),综上应填入was known。故填was known。【37题详解】考查连词和固定搭配。句意:韩干,著名的马画家,生于唐代(618-907年),以画马而闻名,他画的马不仅形似而且神韵俱到。not onlybut also(不仅而且)为固定搭配。故填but。【38题详解】考查代词。句意:这匹“火
96、性子马”,它的眼里燃烧着火焰,脚根本停不下来,被称为“血汗马”。分析可知空格处应使用形容词性物主代词作定语,修饰后面的名词词组burning eyes and dancing feet。故填its。【39题详解】考查冠词。句意:这种敏感、精确的绘画,以细腻的墨迹为特征,是与全彩绘画相对的“白花”(白色)。句中example是可数名词单数,泛指,所以前面应使用不定冠词,又因example的音标是以元音音素开头,所以应使用不定冠词an。故填an。【40题详解】考查定语从句和非谓语动词。句意:后期的“白描”指的是不加阴影的描线,如北宋时期李公林的绘画。本句中as是关系代词引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先
97、行词line drawing without shading,定语从句“as is seen in the paintings of”中省略了be动词is,只保留过去分词seen。类似的结构有很多,比如:as imagined 正如想象的那样;as planned 正如计划的那样。故填seen。【41题详解】考查形容词。句意:后来的所有者和专家在这幅画中和其边缘上添加了各种印章和铭文,这是中国人收藏和欣赏的一个显著特征。分析可知空格处为形容词作定语,修饰名词painting。故填attractive。【42题详解】考查谓语动词。句意:后来的所有者和专家在这幅画中和其边缘上添加了各种印章和铭文,
98、这是中国人收藏和欣赏的一个显著特征。分析句子结构可知,本句是主系表结构,空格处连系动词是句中谓语动词,结合上下文可知应使用一般现在时态,又因主语seals and inscriptions是可数名词复数形式,综上可知应填入be动词的复数形式are。故填are。【43题详解】考查名词。句意:虽然收藏者用这种方式来表达自己的欣赏有时有点过于热衷,但后来欣赏者的印章和评论也记录了一件艺术品的传播过程,为艺术品对后世产生的无尽影响提供了生动的证据。分析句子结构可知空格处为句子主语,应使用名词,再根据空格后are可判断是可数名词复数,结合句意和提示词可知应填入collectors“收藏者”。故填coll
99、ectors。【44题详解】考查介词和固定短语。句意:虽然收藏者用这种方式来表达自己的欣赏有时有点过于热衷,但后来欣赏者的印章和评论也记录了一件艺术品的传播过程,为艺术品对后世产生的无尽影响提供了生动的证据。in this mannaer(以这种方式)为固定短语,根据句意可知这里指的是收藏者用添加印章和铭文的方式来表达自己的喜爱之情。故填in。【45题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然收藏者用这种方式来表达自己的欣赏有时有点过于热衷,但后来欣赏者的印章和评论也记录了一件艺术品的传播过程,为艺术品对后世产生的无尽影响提供了生动的证据。分析句了成分可知has served是主句谓语动词,record
100、是非谓语动词作has served的宾语,record表示“产生效果或结果”时,后面用动词不定式作宾语。故填to record。第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)46. 你校学生会为了提高同学们的英语水平,准备成立英语角。请你用英语写一则通知,邀请同学们参加,内容包括:1.设立英语角的目的;2.活动安排。注意:1.写作词数应为80左右:2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Notice_The Student Union【答案】One possible version;NoticeTo enrich our school life and improve our spo
