7、story of America from 1945 to the 1960s：loud，cocky(自大的)，aggressively new.【语篇解读】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是人与社会之文学、艺术与体育。本文是一篇书评，此书主要介绍了电吉他发明和推广的两大功臣。而作者赞美了书籍作者的写作技巧和在音乐方面的专业性。1What is Stratocaster famous for?AIts main functions.BIts wide application.CIts professional designer.DIts unique sound and form.D推理判断题。根据
8、第一段的“the Stratocaster not only redefined the sound of American music，but also immediately became an astonishing piece of design”以及下文描述的Stratocaster是Fender将原有的电吉他的外形进行了改进后制造出来的情况可知，Stratocaster的音色不仅重新定义了美国音乐，它本身也是一件令人吃惊的设计品。可见它是因其独特的声音和外形而闻名的。2What similarity did Fender and Paul share?AHaving a brigh
9、t personality.BEarning a reputation as a pop star.CBeing ready to put ideas into practice.DConcentrating on rocknroll all their life.C细节理解题。根据第三段的“What they shared was that they both dared to try out crazy ideas.They wereuntrained men who could build or fix almost anything，Port observes”可知，Fender和Pa

11、writing style to a musicians ear”和“Ports descriptions of their different sounds are the most accurate I have ever read”可知，Port在这本书中能够精准地描述相关的音乐知识，作为熟悉电吉他的作者也称赞Port在书中所展现的专业知识。4What is the text meant to do?ARecommend a good book.BSpread electric guitars.CAdvocate rocknroll.DHonor two musicians.A写作意图题
12、。阅读全文可知，本文是一篇书评。首段通过讨论人们常见的电吉他形象引出话题，第二段简要介绍书的作者和内容，第三段又回到书中主要呈现的人物，最后一段从写作风格和专业性上赞扬了这本书。由此推知，此文的主要目的是为了推荐这本书。BThis July my husband and I decided to move both our kids，aged 14 and 10，from their previous schools to a new international school thats located in our neighborhood.It wasnt an easy decision
13、.We knew switching schools would be a challenge for our kids.Put two kids in the same situation and they react and feel differently.Nina，outgoing and talkative，has no problem making new friends and adjusting to(适应) the new school.It took her less than a week to say，“This school is great.I like it.”E
14、verywhere she goes，shes surrounded by friends.It took Michael months to say，“I guess this is fine.”Before that，he complained about everything.Hes sensitive and quite hard on himself.Words of encouragement need to be told on a daily basis.To make our children comfortable before，during，and after the m
15、ove，we included them in our plan from the beginning.Theyre big enough to take part in decisionmaking activities.We researched，compared，and asked questions.We listed everything about their old schools and the new one，and we discussed every item.We were open with them from the start.Our kids knew what
16、 was going on and what was about to happen.They had time to prepare themselves.They trusted us.Communicating with their new teachers was also important.For the first three months，we kept an eye on our childrens academic(学业的) performance and their social life.If we discovered a drop in their grades o
17、r any unusual behavior，we were quick to arrange appointments with their teachers.We dont aim to be helicopter parents，but it doesnt mean we let them go completely.Balancing this role is hardthe older the kid，the harder it getsbut its not impossible.The key is to listen first，and act second.【语篇解读】语篇类
18、型是夹叙夹议文，主题语境是教育。作者讲述了自己一家人是如何帮助两个孩子应对转校问题的。5Why were the children probably moved into a new school?AThe old school is not good enough.BThey wanted to make more new friends.CThe new school is conveniently located near their home.DThe outgoing child can help the shy one in the same school.C细节理解题。根据第一段
19、的a new international school thats located in our neighborhood可知，作者的孩子们转校的一个原因可能就是新学校离家特别近，非常方便。6How did the parents help the children deal with switching schools?ABy tolerating their behavior in school.BBy choosing the best teachers for them.CBy encouraging them to enjoy social life.DBy having open
20、communication with them.D推理判断题。根据第三段可知，为了帮助孩子们适应转校，作者和丈夫从一开始就与他们商讨转校的利弊，让他们有充分的准备。也就是说，为了帮助孩子们处理转校问题，父母与他们开诚布公地交流。7What might the underlined phrase“helicopter parents” in the last paragraph refer to?AParents who pay very close attention to their children.BParents who send their children to school in
21、 person.CParents who talk too much rather than take action.DParents who listen to their children all the time.A词义猜测题。阅读最后一段可知，划线短语与该句的we let them go completely是父母对待孩子态度的两个极端，所以“直升机父母”指的是那些密切关注孩子一举一动的父母，与完全放养孩子的父母形成对比。CWhat kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying？We are going to guess tha
22、t they are probably not painted bright red or yellow.But maybe they should be.Imagine.You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam.You have two rooms to choose from.One is a pale blue，and the other is a bright red.Which one do you settle into for study？Is one going to get your brain fired up for le
23、arning，or let you relax into a best state of concentration?According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia，it might be best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information.It might sound strange，since we often think of pale roomssoft blues or light greensas re
24、laxing，or even reassuring(令人安心的)And they seem to be：The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm，while bright colors increased heart rate.But calming and relaxing，it turns out，may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowled

26、d to greater concentration.While this might seem only surprising，the finding gets into a rather controversial area of psychological(心理学的) study.The YerkesDodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance，while too much stress negatively affects it.The higher heart ra
27、te and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.【语篇解读】语篇类型是说明文，主题语境是心理研究。根据澳大利亚科廷大学的研究，当你想要记忆大量信息的时候，最好在色彩明亮的房间里待着。8What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph?AFew people like bright red or yellow.BPale
28、colors are connected with good grades.CLightcolored rooms make you feel nervous.DBrightcolored rooms are not good for studying.D推理判断题。根据第一段的“We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow”可知，人们普遍的观点是：色彩明亮的房间不利于学习。9What might directly affect the research results accordi
29、ng to Paragraph 2?AParticipants preferences in colors.BHow participants reacted to colors.CTime participants spent in the rooms.DWhat participants read in the rooms.B细节理解题。根据第二段的“The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm，while bright colors incr
30、eased heart rate”可知，直接影响研究结果的是参与者对颜色的反应。10What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University?AMost people know how to make use of colors.BStress is needed when you want to concentrate.CThe higher the stress，the better your performance.DBeing relaxed is very important to people studying.B推理判断题
31、。根据第二和第三段可知，科廷大学的研究说明，放松的环境并不一定是最好的学习环境，而色彩明亮的房间可以制造适当的压力，让人们学习时能够更加集中注意力。11Whats the main idea of the text?AFindings about peoples favourite room colors.BRoom colors can affect ones academic performance.CBrightcolored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.DLightcolored rooms help people feel relaxed
32、into work.B推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying？”可知，文章与适合学习的房间颜色有关，然后在第二段中介绍 Curtin 大学的相关研究，研究人员发现色彩艳丽的房间让人感到压力，却更能让人集中注意力，最后一段则介绍初步结论适当压力会让人取得好成绩。即房间的颜色会影响学习成绩。B项“房间的颜色会影响一个人的学习成绩”，符合文意。A项“关于人们最喜欢的房间颜色的研究发现”，C项“色彩鲜艳的房间会创造一种沉重的氛围”，D项“浅色房间有助于人们在工作中感到放松”，均不正确。故正确答案
33、为B。DThe term“liberal bubble”(自由泡沫) suggests that people usually surround themselves with those who hold similar opinions to them.Think about your own social media platforms(社交媒体平台)who your Facebook friends are，and who you follow on Instagram and Twitter.You probably share a lot of opinions with most
34、，if not all，of them.However，if youre used to everyone agreeing with you all the time，it becomes difficult to have a good conversation with someone who disagrees.The world is full of experiences，realities，and history.It would be naive(幼稚的) to believe that only your views are correct.We should always
35、make space for the possibility that someone who looks different might have something valuable to offer the world.Carefully listening and being curious about different perspectives，in most cases，can help build bridges instead of walls.We all benefit when we listen carefullyeven if we finally conclude
36、 that we disagree.The world we live in is increasingly divided，especially on social media，which means that for most，the only opinions we hear are ones that agree with our own thoughts.So how can we have productive discussions with people who think differently than us？First，follow people who dont loo

38、 they do or say something you might push back on at the beginning.As far as having productive discussions，dont try to win others over to your side.Just listen to each other.Respect your differences.Another way is to join a club or organization where many people have different views and are willing t
39、o debate with love.【语篇解读】语篇类型是议论文，主题语境是社会文化。人们习惯与自己观点一致的人为伍，这种倾向会让人们陷入思维和见识的局限性。如何与意见不同的人交流？本文给出了一些建议。12What are people very likely to do when communicating on the Internet?AIgnore views that disagree with theirs.BFall into the trap of poor conflicting opinions.CFollow various friends on different p
40、latforms.DShare their opinions with people who disagree.A推理判断题。根据第一段的“You probably share a lot of opinions with most，if not all，of them.”可知，人们往往在社交媒体平台上关注的都是与自己观点相同的人，即他们习惯于忽视与自己的观点不一致的观点。13What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?AHow to make sure your views are correct.BThe reasons why people have
41、different views.CThe importance of being exposed to different views.DHow to communicate with people who disagree.C推理判断题。阅读第二段可知，本段主要讨论了倾听不同观点的益处，强调了接触不同观点的重要性。14What does a productive discussion mean according to the text?AThe two sides always reach an agreement.BThe other finally agrees with your t
42、houghts.CYou discuss with people who are wiser than you.DYou get valuable information during the discussion.D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，所谓的具有创造性的讨论指的就是在讨论的过程中仔细倾听对方不同的观点，尊重不同，不在乎讨论的结果。也就是说，要在讨论中得到有价值的新的信息。15What does the text suggest people do about having productive discussions?AKeep away from social media.BGe
43、t involved in others daily lives.CAvoid expressing your own opinions.DRealize why people behave in a certain way.D推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Itll help you understand where people are coming from when they do or say something you might push back on at the beginning”可知，为了进行具有创造性的讨论，文章建议人们要理解持有不同观点的人为什么会做一些或说一些你原本会
44、拒绝的事情。即了解他们为什么会这样表现。.阅读七选五(共5小题； 每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分)By thinking and using habits like great scientists，we can learn how to change our way of thinking and come up with new ideas. 16 Constantly ask questions.One thing that curious young children always do with their parents is ask questions.“Why is the

49、活。本文介绍了如何培养像科学家一样的思维。16E本文介绍了如何培养像科学家一样的思维，E项引出下文。17D空前列举了经常问问题的表现，这种表现是说明他们想要学习的愿望，故选D项。18F本段主旨为分享你的成果，以及根据空后讲到科学家在了解了别人的实验发现后通常会找到解决方法可知，对于科学家来说，分享研究成果是重要的。19C本段主要讲了第一次尝试很少会成功，但是要从失败中吸取教训。C项与本段内容吻合，总领该段。20B空前提到科学家喜欢挑战传统思想，空后提到生活中你也应该挑战传统、挑战设想，所以B项“我们也应该做一样的事”符合逻辑。.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)Sometimes，
