2、eart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a timekiller.

Should I keep going?”A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress.
4、 Lately, though, Ive come to believe hed want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in somebody else. Its time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids dont hold back because theyre afraid to fa

Theyre waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief
6、will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts:“Dont worry; youll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.1We learn from the text that the autho

9、【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者的父亲通过一封信告诉作者对他的爱与信任,这种爱与信任让作者在生活中取得了很大的进步。因此作者鼓励父母亲给孩子鼓励与信任。1A细节理解题。根据文章前两段第一句“My father was 44 and knew he wasnt going to make it to 45Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart(我父亲当时44岁,他知道自己活不到45岁从我12岁第一次读到他的信的那天起,他的一些话就深深地印在了我的心里)”可
10、知,作者年幼时失去了父亲。故选A项。2D推理判断题。根据第三段最后三句“Theyre only afraid of failing us. They dont worry about being disappointed. Their fearas mine was until my fathers letteris of being a disappointment.”可知,“我”的孩子很担心没有符合“我们”的期望值,而“我”却没有这样的担心,由此判断出父亲的信让“我”不害怕让父母亲失望。故选D项。3C细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“I always knew my parents love
11、d me.”可知,“我”很清楚地知道父母亲很爱“我”。所以“他确信他的父母爱他”。故选C项。BWhen a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesnt care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.

20、ange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.

31、ents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer for traveling businessmen it is as likely to be found in school bags(许多家长开始意识到手机不再是为旅行的商人准备的它很可能是在书包里被找到)”引出话题。由此可知,作者讲述Lucy的故事是为了告诉读者英国父母如何接受青少年拥有手机的真相。故选B项。9D细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Her parents gave in.”可知,Lucy的父母做出让步,给她买了手机,因此D项“Lucy does
32、not get the mobile phone she wants(Lucy没有得到她想要的手机)”与原文不符。故选D项。10C词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句“The interview with 2,019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favor the text messaging service because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch (对2019名7至16岁的年轻人的采访发现,他们喜欢短信服务是因为这是一种保持联系的秘密方式)”可知,短信服务给青少年们提供一种秘密的交

Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to se
36、e whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?There is certainly some wellestablished research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that child
37、ren attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (声学) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, su
38、ch as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores.“Everything points to a bad impact of
39、the noise on childrens performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is and the volume. In a series of
40、 studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested peoples creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises such as coffeeshop chatter and constructionsite drilling at different volumes. They found that people were more cr

Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks,
42、 the socalled Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests its hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears
43、 to be that you enjoy what youre hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound even listening to a Stephen King novel then you do better. It doesnt matter about the music,” he says.So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhanc

49、Cnegative Dsupportive【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。气味和声音可以对学习、表现和创造力产生影响。一些学校正在尝试,看看引入音乐、噪音和气味是否能提高成绩。12C推理判断题。由第一段第一句话“Some schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results(一些学校正在把音乐、噪音和好闻的气味注入教室,看是否能提高考试成绩)”可知,后面的四个问题都是由第一句话引出,目的在于抓住读者的注意力,激发他们继续阅读的好奇心。故选
50、C项。13C推理判断题。由第三段的“When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores.”和第四段的“Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on childrens performance, in numeracy, in literacy,
51、and in spelling, says Shield.”可推断出,噪音对孩子有害,我们应该为孩子创造一个更平静的环境。故选C项。14C细节理解题。由第五段的“They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low(他们发现,当背景噪音处于中等水平时,人们比音量较低时更有创造力)”可知,适当的背景噪音可以提高创造力。故选C项。15D推理判断题。由最后一段的“So, it seems that schoo

But never fear(如果你的友谊要持续很长一段时间,你只需要接受事情总是会变化的这一事实。但不要害怕)”和下文“Here is

63、 different versions of yourself. That can mean that sometimes, a friend is only present for a certain chapterand that is OK(在漫长的一生中,你会经历很多不同版本的自己。这意味着有时候,朋友只会在某一章节出现这也没关系)”可知,该空引出下文,说明朋友并非永恒不变的。故选A项。第二部分语言运用(30分)第一节(每小题1分,满分15分)Every day, Tim in his car would pass by Eric, who had been homeless for

83、r考查副词。句意:然而,我没有那样做。结合上下文语境可知为转折关系,故用however,句首字母要大写。故填However。40in考查介词。短语in ones thirties表示“在某人三十几岁时”。故填in。41had passed考查动词时态。此处pass发生figured之前,即“过去的过去”,应用过去完成时。故填had passed。42was考查主谓一致。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Jack,且先行词在从句中作主语,是单数形式。故填was。43simply考查副词。修饰后面整个句子应用副词。故填simply。44to rest考查不定式。分析句子结构可知rest在句中做非谓语
84、动词,且此处做目的状语,应用不定式。故填to rest。45longer考查比较级。句意:我们计划平均每天步行20英里,休息几天,所以我们预计步行需要6个月的时间,意识到可能需要更长时间。表示“比六个月更长”,所以用比较级。故填longer。第三部分写作(40分)第一节(满分15分)你校开展了“敬重父母”的活动,请你根据以下内容要点为某英文报写一则报道。1宗旨:尊敬父母是中华民族的传统美德(moral value)之一;2现状:大多数同学都是独生子女,只看重自己,不顾及父母;3决定:开展“敬重父母”的活动;4措施:制定了十条规定,提出要求。如:要记住父母的生日;父母进门要和他们打招呼等。注意:
