I plan to donate the money to help students worldwide access higher education,” she said. “Students are the reason why I’m here, so I intend to use that to promote them and create a better future for them.”

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
8. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D. It is content-based.
9. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Chinese.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans.
D. The Russians.
10. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
11. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. 可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异，交谈中的沉默也可能表示固执、不安或担忧。所以作者认为谈话中的沉默是有文化特性的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing可知，许多印第安人珍视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话时突然停下来，暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是为了让别人思考。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据末段末句A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients 可知，了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种了解来帮助护理病人。所以作者建议护士要用沉默来治疗病人。故选D 。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups”可知， 沉默的含义因文化群体而异。以及先问介绍了在不同文化背景下谈话期间的沉默的不同含义。所以短文的最佳标题是“沉默意味着什么”。故选B 。
D
As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky. The appeal of fireworks could fade out with the growing use of drones (无人机)for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, a leader of Sky Magic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration last year, said the demand had increased dramatically. “We do think it’s going to be something ever-eye catching rather than being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there’s no fallout. In that sense, they’re a very good, sustainable option.” she said.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Drones have less an impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and the use of lithium batteries which are known not to be much that ‘green’,” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones tried to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were downsides. “Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. Therefore, it’s important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents.” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don’t conflict with each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s merely another tool to light the sky.” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
12. What does Howitt think about a drone display in paragraph 2?
A. It’s definitely an upward trend.
B. It’ll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C. It’s nothing but a temporary phenomenon.
D. It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.
13. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph?
A. Promoting the production of drones.
B. Diversifying the functions of drones.
C. Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.
D. Staging drone shows as an alternative.
14. What does the underlined word “downsides” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. prospect B. puzzles
C. weaknesses D. benefits
15. In which section of a website can we read this text?
A. Advertisement. B. Business.
C. Entertainment. D. Environment.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无人机用于灯光表演有许多优点，但是它可能给环境带来的影响。人们对无人机灯光表演有不同态度。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Howitt的话“the demand had increased dramatically. (需求急剧增加)”和“Drones are reusable and there’s no fallout. In that sense they’re a very good, sustainable option(无人机可以重复使用，而且不会产生放射性尘埃。从这个意义上说，它们是一个非常好的、可持续的选择)”可推知，Howitt认为无人机展示的发展呈上升的趋势。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Howitt的话“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if its just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on(我们发现烟花和无人机配合时效果非常好。但我们并没有真正把它看作是一个取代另一个。我们觉得它只是另一个工具，用来让天空生动起来，让你想对你正在上演的节目做些什么)”可知，Howitt认为无人机并不会取代烟花，建议把它作为一种选择。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public.(无人机也有自己的负面问题，比如吓到马或撞到鸟类，还可能对动物和公众造成干扰)”可知，此句是对前一句的进一步解释说明，本句主要是说无人机的缺点，所以可推知downsides是缺点的意思，与weaknesses意思相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了将无人机用于灯光表演的优点与它可能给环境带来的影响，以及人们对无人机灯光表演的态度，结合第三段“But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones couldalso pose environmental problems.(但并非所有人都同意。英国烟花协会发言人表示，无人机也可能造成环境问题)”推知，我们可能在网站与环境有关的部分读到这段文字。故选D项。

【答案】 ①. committed ②. herself ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。对比所给中文提示词和英文翻译，可知，需翻译部分为“献身于”，在英语中“献身于”为固定搭配，为commit oneself to，又根据句意知，空处应用现在完成时，空前已有has，所以commit应用过去分词形式，反身代词指的是张桂梅自己，用herself。故填①committed；②herself；③to。
57. 在国外学习期间，与家人保持联系成了他生活中的一部分。
________ ________ ________ ________family regularly has become part of his life while
studying abroad.

59. 出发远行时，一定要穿上合适的鞋子。
When________ ________on a long walk, always wear suitable shoes.
【答案】 ①. setting ②. out
【解析】
【详解】考查短语和省略。set out出发。本句为祈使句，省略主语。在when引导的时间状语从句中，若谓语部分含有be动词，而主语又跟主句主语相同或从句主语为it时，则从句中主语和be动词常一起省略。还原为：When you are setting out，故填setting out。

Sport has become an important form of entertainment, ________ ________ both men and women.
【答案】 ①. appealing ②. to
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查固定短语和非谓语动词。句意：体育运动已成为一种重要的娱乐形式，吸引着男男女女。根据中英文提示，需要翻译的设空部分为：吸引。appeal to为固定短语，意为“吸引”，句子已有谓语动词has become，空处需填非谓语动词作状语，sport和appeal to为逻辑主谓关系，需用现在分词形式。故填①appealing；②to。
61. 我的电脑出故障了，为了不耽误工作，我找人维修了。

67. 昨天晚上，是安的丈夫带她去了附近的一家医院。
________ ________Ann’s husband________took her to a nearby hospital last night.
【答案】 ①. It ②. was ③. who/that
【解析】

第三部分读后续写(满分25分)
68. 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。
Violet and Tilly were two sisters. Tilly was so stuck with her sister that she always followed her elder sister, Violet, everywhere. For example, when Violet was painting, she would paint by her side. Every time, Violet looked at her angrily. Couldn’t she find her own thing to do? This time, it was Tilly’s first week at gymnastics, while Violet had done gymnastics for the past two years.
Violet sat on the gym floor, waiting for her turn to do somersaults (翻筋斗). She frowned at her little sister across the room. Why couldn’t Tilly always find her own thing to do? “Violet, you’re up!” called Violet’s instructor, Miss Taylor. Violet came over and pushed off with her legs and straightened her arms. She did one, two, three somersaults. Miss Taylor clapped. “Perfect!”
Violet noticed that Tilly had stepped away from the younger group to watch Violet’s somersaults. “Tilly!” called Tilly’s instructor, Miss Brooke, from across the room. Tilly didn’t seem to hear. Not until she was called three times did she run back to her group. “ Your turn to do somersaults. ” Miss Brooke put an arm around her. Tilly walked to the mat with her face turning red like a tomato. She bent down to start a somersault. When she rolled, she fell heavily on the mat. Kids laughed in surprise at the noise.
Tilly stood uncomfortably and then ran towards the restroom. She was gone from the gym, as Violet had wanted. But it didn’t feel right. After telling Miss Taylor where she was going, Violet hurried to the restroom. She found Tilly crying hard. Violet put an arm around her sister. Seeing Violet, Tilly cried even harder. Tilly sniffed “I don’t want to do gymnastics any more.” She wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. This was Violet’s chance. If she said nothing to her sister, Tilly might quit gymnastics forever.

But Violet knew how excited Tilly had been about joining in gymnastics. Every time Tilly watched Violet doing somersaults at the gym, the big toothy smile was always on her face. So Violet decided to cheer her up. Casting a comforting smile at Tilly, she helped her sister wipe out tears from her cheeks. “You’re better at somersaults than I was on my first day of gymnastics. ” Violet explained how embarrassing her first somersault was. A smile took hold of Tilly when the amusing scene came to her.
Seeing a smile on Tilly’s face, Violet said, “What about giving it another try?” Tilly smiled a little more and made up her mind that she would not be a coward . “OK!” Picking up all her courage, Tilly walked back into the gym, where she did much practice and finally succeeded in doing somersaults perfectly under the guidance of Miss Taylor. Nobody could feel more on top of the world than her then. A bright smile spread across the little girl’s face. Gratitude to her elder sister filled her eyes.
