W: You mean in the planning department? No, actually I’m running my own company.

B. They enjoyed themselves in the sea.
C. Their plane was forced to land shortly after takeoff.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines：
The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after takeoff. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise. And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.
第二部分 阅读理解(共三节，满分45分)
第一节 单项选择(共11小题;每小题2.5分，满分27.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it’s too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he sometimes wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can’t abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack’s or you might be a Jack. You’re now facing a wall. No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it’s time that you had to decide whether you’ll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it’s too late to start over? That is simply because you’re comparing yourself with others — younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don’t become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don’t let your life plateau (停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores. Don’t give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you’d better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities.
21. What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author?
A. Those leading a happy life. B. Those feeling trapped in current career.
C. Those longing to make a change. D. Those having a high ambition to work.
22. What does the underlined word “abide” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. expand. B. deserve. C. possess. D. tolerate.
23. What does the author advise us not to do?
A. Let life stand still. B. Enjoy the present job.
C. Have a small goal in life. D. Consider ourselves as a failure.
24. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Everyone Can Meet a Jack B. Don’t Try to Control Yourself
C. Never Think Change Is Too Late D. You Should Make Alteration Earlier
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 24. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟。然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.(然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了)”以及第二段最后一句“But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.(但他已经习惯了这种生活方式，觉得要放弃这种生活去实现新的抱负已经太晚了)”可知，作者在第一段提到有的人想改变，但觉得为时已晚，作者在第二段以Jack为例来说明他就属于这一类人。故选B。
【22题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“he has to choose to suck it up(他不得不选择忍受现状)”可知，Jack认为对他来说，改变的风险太大，所以无论他是否可以忍受，他都不得不选择忍受现状，下文的suck it up意为“逆来顺受，忍受”。由此推知，abide的意思是“忍受”。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Don’t let your life plateau (停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores. (不要让你的生活停滞不前，浪费在日常琐事上)”可知，作者建议我们不要让生活停滞不前，即不要让生活静止。故选A。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start. (然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了)”直接点明文章中心，每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟，然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。故本文的标题是“永远都不要认为改变为时已晚”故选C。
B
The “little voice in your head” can be your worst critic and greatest supporter. It’s been known to help with directions, give advice, and even remind you to put potatoes on the grocery list.
But does everyone have an inner monologue? For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case — not everyone processes life in words and sentences.
“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound,” said Helene Loevenbruck, a senior neurolinguistics researcher at CNRS.
With true inner speech, you almost “hear” your inner voice, she told Live Science. You’re aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.
This long-held assumption was first challenged in the late 1990s by Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper. Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.
Perhaps the participant wrote down, “I need to buy some bread.” He would then ask if that’s what they actually thought. “Or did you think ‘bread’? Or were you hungry?” Loevenbruck explained. After several meetings, participants got better at articulating (流利连贯地表达) their true thoughts, she said. Eventually, this method revealed that some people had inner speech every time the device beeped. But others had less inner speech than usual, and some didn’t have inner speech at all. They experienced images, sensations and emotions, but not a voice or words.
The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症) sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either, Loevenbruck noted.
25. What was previously assumed about the inner monologue?
A. It rarely existed in humans. B. It could help solve all kinds of problems.
C. It was something everyone was born with. D. It was used mainly to criticize or support oneself.
26. What does Loevenbruck say about an inner monologue?
A. It lacks tone and intonation. B. It is delivered in public.
C. It can convey emotions. D. It can be heard by others.
27. What did Hurlburt do in his study?
A. He used a beeper to note down participants’ inner speech.
B. He required participants to describe their grocery lists.
C. He placed something in participants’ heads to record their inner speech.
D. He checked participants’ notes and asked about their true thoughts.
28. Why do some people never experience an inner monologue?
A. They suffer serious brain damage. B. They cannot distinguish what they see.
C. They fail to mentally picture what they see. D. They misunderstand their true thoughts.
【答案】25. C 26. C 27. D 28. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。针对内心独白这一现象的认知进行了历史溯源，并通过实验证明这一现象并非所有人都会拥有这一事实。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case—not everyone processes life in words and sentences.(很长一段时间以来，人们认为内心的声音只是人类的一部分。但事实并非如此，不是每个人都用文字和句子来处理生活)”可知，人们以前认为内心独白是人类天生具有的一部分，每个人都拥有。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound.(说到内心独白，我们的意思是我们可以对自己说私人的话，而且是没有声音的)”以及第四段中“You’re aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.(你知道它的语气和语调。例如，声音可以“听起来”生气或担心)”可知，内心独白并不会发出声音，是对自己说的私人的话。但它有语气语调，你能意识到它们的存在，感受到其中带有的或愤怒或焦急的情绪。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper(传呼机). Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.( Hurlburt通过让参与者佩戴寻呼机来研究他们内心的话语。每当设备发出哔哔声时，他们必须写下在声音发出之前他们在脑海中所想或经历的事情)”可知，Hurlbert用传呼机控制被试者，让其写下自己内心的想法，对其进行详细的询问，并加以判断分析。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症) sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” (缺乏内心独白与一种叫做心盲症的疾病有关，有时也被称为“心灵之眼失明”)”以及“People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either.(经历心盲的人无法在脑海中描绘自己的卧室或母亲的脸。很多时候，那些没有经历过视觉化的人也没有经历过清晰的内心语言)”可知，有人不能体验内心独白是与心盲症有关系，即他们无法在脑海中描绘出他们所看到的。故选C。
C
Samsung Electronics America announced that Galaxy device owners can make their own repairs to the Galaxy S20 and S21 family of products, as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+, starting August 2nd.
Samsung is cooperating with iFixit, the leading online repair community, to deliver their Self-Repair program.

In addition to the convenience of these new self-repair options, Galaxy smartphone owners have a choice on how they can extend the life of their devices across Samsung’s expansive care options, including: Through Samsung’s perfect care network, customers have access to over 11,000 Samsung Mobile certified repair technicians in the U.S.
29. Who will do the repair work under the Self-Repair program?
A. The iFixit community. B. The Galaxy consumers.

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. ___32___“A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Get eight hours of sleep. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr.Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels.___33___
Engage in volunteer work.___34___ Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
___35___ A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: “If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.”___36___
A. Eat breakfast.
B. But others may not have crossed your mind.
C. Volunteering might even increase your physical activity.
D. These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health.
E. Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
F. Eat healthy food rich in protein and fiber but low in fat and sugar
G. Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. G 35. A 36. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍三种人们意想不到的促进心脏健康的方法。
【32题详解】
根据前文“As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.(多达80%的过早的心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的。有些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的。)”和后文““A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.(加拿大心脏和中风基金会发言人、预防心脏病专家贝丝·艾布拉姆森博士说：“从长远来看，日常生活中的一个小改变可能会产生巨大的影响。”)”可知，一些健康的生活方式是众所周知的，但其它的或许你不会想到，前后句之间为转折关系。所以选择项B“But others may not have crossed your mind.(但你可能没想过其它的。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【33题详解】
根据前文“If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels. (如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平。)”可知，没有充足的睡眠会导致身体健康问题，当然也会对心脏健康产生影响。所以选择项D“These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health. (这些因素都会对心脏和血液健康产生影响。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【34题详解】
根据本段中心句“Engage in volunteer work.(参加志愿者工作。)”和后文“Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. 'We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,' adds Sharma. 'Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.'(2016年发表在《心身医学》上的一项研究表明，生活的目标感与心脏病和中风的较低可能性有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”沙玛补充说。“志愿活动让你走出家门，建立社交网络。”)”可知，参加志愿者活动，可以减少孤独感，缓解压力，从而预防心脏病的发生。所以选择项G“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. (为他人做好事可以帮助你提升自尊，缓解压力。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【35题详解】
这里是本段的小标题。根据后文“A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: 'If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,' says Abramson. (《美国心脏病学会杂志》最近的一项研究发现，不吃早餐的健康人6年后患心脏病的可能性几乎是那些吃丰盛早餐的人的三倍。一个可能的原因是：“如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你稍后就不太可能感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择，”艾布拉姆松说。)”可知，本段主要介绍吃早餐对心脏的好处。所以选择项A“Eat breakfast. (吃早餐。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【36题详解】
根据前文“We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. (作为健康生活方式的一部分，我们需要均衡饮食。)”可知，这里对均衡饮食作了具体的说明。所以选择项E“Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. (选择全麦，低脂的早餐，包括水果。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了神州13号飞船安全返回地球，三位宇航员翟志刚、王亚平和叶光富分别描述了自己的感受，文章还提到他们在太空站所进行的科学和科普课堂。
【52题详解】
考查副词。句意：周六上午，神舟13号返回舱搭载了翟志刚、王亚平和叶光富三名中国宇航员，在完成打破纪录的六个月太空任务后安全返回地球。根据语境可知，此句意为“安全地着陆”，需要用副词来修饰动词landed作状语，故填safely。
【53题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：在现场等待的医疗小组确认三名宇航员身体健康后，中国宣布神舟十三号任务圆满成功。此句意为“宣布神州13号是一个巨大的成功”，success作Shenzhou-13 mission的宾语补足语，表示泛指，应用不定关系修饰，且complete的发音是辅音音素开头，故填a。
【54题详解】
考查介词。句意：在现场等待的医疗小组确认三名宇航员身体健康后，中国宣布神舟十三号任务圆满成功。be in good health意为“身体健康”，是固定短语。故填in。
【55题详解】
考查不定式。句意：翟志刚，这次任务的指挥官，是第一个走出太空舱的人，他微笑着向现场欢呼的人群挥手。当被修饰词前面有序数词时，要用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to come。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：他说他感觉很好。他后面跟着王，她是进入中国空间站的第一位中国女宇航员。根据语境可知，此句意为“紧随其后的是王亚平”，翟是“被跟随”，所以是被动语态，时态根据上下文是过去时，且主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数。故填was followed。
【57题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态。句意：叶光富最后从太空舱里出来。根据上下文可知，此处在陈述过去的事情，所以是一般过去时。故填exited。
【58题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：在为期6个月的空间站之旅中，宇航员确定了空间站建设的关键技术，包括航天器在轨换位和机械臂重载操作。形容词key修饰名词作confirmed的宾语，由“(involve) in-orbit transposition of spacecraft and robotic arm operation of heavy loads”可知用复数，故填technologies。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在为期6个月的空间站之旅中，宇航员确定了空间站建设的关键技术，包括航天器在轨换位和机械臂重载操作。分析句子结构可知，此处为分词短语作状语，动词involve和其逻辑主语之间technologies是主谓关系。故填involving。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：除了科学任务，宇航员还在空间站上进行了两次现场科学讲座，期间他们进行了各种实验，并回答了在地球上观看课堂的学生的问题。根据语境可知，用形容词修饰mission作定语。故填scientific。
61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：除了科学任务，宇航员还在空间站上进行了两次现场科学讲座，期间他们进行了各种实验，并回答了在地球上观看课堂的学生的问题。根据句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词lectures，关系词在从句中作介词during的宾语，用关系代词which。故填which。

【答案】 ①. express ②. their ③. appreciation ④. of
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式，动词和名词。根据中英文提示，空处缺少“表达对……欣赏”，express“表达”，appreciation“欣赏”，此处表示特指，加定冠词，of表示“……的”，分析句子可知，to是不定式符号，不定式短语作目的状语，根据上文的people可知，此处表示“人们的感激”，故用形容词性物主代词their，故填express their appreciation of。

第二节(满分25分)
73. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was our turn to open our presents this particular Christmas morning. The living room was already covered with torn wrapping paper. Obviously, the children could hardly wait to discover the hidden treasures, which they had expected for nearly a month. Now we adults sat around the room with our presents at our feet, slowly removing the paper, trying to maintain our dignity in front of the children.
My wife, Brenda, and her family have a tradition of getting each other gag (恶作剧) gifts. This always makes me a bit uneasy at Christmas or my birthday, never knowing what form of embarrassment lies waiting for me under the thin borders of the wrapping paper.
Recently, my six-year-old daughter Christy seemed to busy herself with something while I was playing computer video flight games. Now she was standing directly in front of me. The excitement of the moment just beamed across her face. It was everything she could do to keep herself from helping me rip the paper from each present. Finally, I came to the last gift and with my natural Sherlock Holmes ability, I concluded that this had to be the gag gift. With everyone looking on, I decided to go ahead and get it over with—just let them have their laugh—and I tore the paper and there it was a toy airplane about two inches long. Our holiday guests started giggling to themselves as I looked up to my wife with an unpleasant smile on my face and blurted out (脱口而出), “A toy airplane? Are you kidding me?”
Brenda gave me the look—that look that always tells me I have just said something wrong and should have given it a second thought. I had failed to look at the name tag before I opened the present to see who it was from. As I picked up the paper from the floor and read the name tag, my heart sank.
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。
On the tag were the letters that read, “To Dad, Love Christy”.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Staring at the gift, I suddenly thought of a way to cheer her up.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 On the tag were the letters that read, “To Dad, Love Christy”. Seeing her joy replaced by a look of total embarrassment and humiliation, I was seized by a strong sense of regret and pain. She slowly lowered her head down, seemingly praying that nobody would discover whom the gift came from. Without hesitation, I knelt down and embraced Christy tightly, trying to take back those words. I explained I had thought it was from Mom, but since it came from her, that made it different. However, no matter what I said , it could hardly remove the disappointment in her eyes and hurt in her heart. Confronted with the embarrassing situation, I was at a loss what to do.
Staring at the gift, I suddenly thought of a way to lift her up. I took that toy airplane in my hand, turned on its switch and flew the plane. At the sight of the flying plane, I yelled with excitement, which amused other children who eagerly asked for a try. My eyes resting on Christy, I deliberately ignored their enthusiasm, flying the plane around her. “Let me try it first!”. It wasn’t long before Christy believed it was really a charming gift and grabbed for the plane, a big smile radiating from her lightened face. From then on, I kept the little plane as a reminder of my girl’s love and also, the power of words.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: This is the 6 o’clock news for Tuesday 25 November. And first the headlines：
The government has promised to help the poor farmers in the northern part of the country who haven’t seen rain for nearly two years. And in Sydney a group of school children are successfully rescued from a plane which landed in the sea shortly after takeoff. Transport workers are on strike in Melbourne asking for a pay raise. And the strike may spread to other states.
Now let’s focus on the school children. They were travelling in a plane from Sydney to Queensland to take part in a musical concert. They found themselves swimming for the shore when their plane had to land in the sea just three minutes after taking off from Sydney Airport. The pilot managed to bring the aircraft and its 50 passengers down safely in the calm waters of Botany Bay where boats were able to come to the rescue of the children. It was a weekend, and there were hundreds of boats in the bay enjoying the good weather. This undoubtedly helped the rescue operation. The children said they owed their lives to the skill of the pilot. But the pilot replied modestly that it was all part of a day’s work. However, all their musical instruments were lost and they never got to play at their concert.
第二部分 阅读理解(共三节，满分45分)
第一节 单项选择(共11小题;每小题2.5分，满分27.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it’s too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he sometimes wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can’t abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack’s or you might be a Jack. You’re now facing a wall. No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it’s time that you had to decide whether you’ll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it’s too late to start over? That is simply because you’re comparing yourself with others — younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don’t become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don’t let your life plateau (停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores. Don’t give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you’d better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities.
21. What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author?
A. Those leading a happy life. B. Those feeling trapped in current career.
C. Those longing to make a change. D. Those having a high ambition to work.
22. What does the underlined word “abide” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. expand. B. deserve. C. possess. D. tolerate.
23. What does the author advise us not to do?
A. Let life stand still. B. Enjoy the present job.
C. Have a small goal in life. D. Consider ourselves as a failure.
24. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Everyone Can Meet a Jack B. Don’t Try to Control Yourself
C. Never Think Change Is Too Late D. You Should Make Alteration Earlier
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. A 24. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟。然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.(然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了)”以及第二段最后一句“But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.(但他已经习惯了这种生活方式，觉得要放弃这种生活去实现新的抱负已经太晚了)”可知，作者在第一段提到有的人想改变，但觉得为时已晚，作者在第二段以Jack为例来说明他就属于这一类人。故选B。
【22题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“he has to choose to suck it up(他不得不选择忍受现状)”可知，Jack认为对他来说，改变的风险太大，所以无论他是否可以忍受，他都不得不选择忍受现状，下文的suck it up意为“逆来顺受，忍受”。由此推知，abide的意思是“忍受”。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Don’t let your life plateau (停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores. (不要让你的生活停滞不前，浪费在日常琐事上)”可知，作者建议我们不要让生活停滞不前，即不要让生活静止。故选A。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start. (然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了)”直接点明文章中心，每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟，然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。故本文的标题是“永远都不要认为改变为时已晚”故选C。
B
The “little voice in your head” can be your worst critic and greatest supporter. It’s been known to help with directions, give advice, and even remind you to put potatoes on the grocery list.
But does everyone have an inner monologue? For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case — not everyone processes life in words and sentences.
“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound,” said Helene Loevenbruck, a senior neurolinguistics researcher at CNRS.
With true inner speech, you almost “hear” your inner voice, she told Live Science. You’re aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.
This long-held assumption was first challenged in the late 1990s by Russell Hurlburt, a psychologist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper. Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.
Perhaps the participant wrote down, “I need to buy some bread.” He would then ask if that’s what they actually thought. “Or did you think ‘bread’? Or were you hungry?” Loevenbruck explained. After several meetings, participants got better at articulating (流利连贯地表达) their true thoughts, she said. Eventually, this method revealed that some people had inner speech every time the device beeped. But others had less inner speech than usual, and some didn’t have inner speech at all. They experienced images, sensations and emotions, but not a voice or words.
The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症) sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either, Loevenbruck noted.
25. What was previously assumed about the inner monologue?
A. It rarely existed in humans. B. It could help solve all kinds of problems.
C. It was something everyone was born with. D. It was used mainly to criticize or support oneself.
26. What does Loevenbruck say about an inner monologue?
A. It lacks tone and intonation. B. It is delivered in public.
C. It can convey emotions. D. It can be heard by others.
27. What did Hurlburt do in his study?
A. He used a beeper to note down participants’ inner speech.
B. He required participants to describe their grocery lists.
C. He placed something in participants’ heads to record their inner speech.
D. He checked participants’ notes and asked about their true thoughts.
28. Why do some people never experience an inner monologue?
A. They suffer serious brain damage. B. They cannot distinguish what they see.
C. They fail to mentally picture what they see. D. They misunderstand their true thoughts.
【答案】25. C 26. C 27. D 28. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。针对内心独白这一现象的认知进行了历史溯源，并通过实验证明这一现象并非所有人都会拥有这一事实。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“For a long time, it was assumed that an inner voice was simply part of being human. But it turns out, that’s not the case—not everyone processes life in words and sentences.(很长一段时间以来，人们认为内心的声音只是人类的一部分。但事实并非如此，不是每个人都用文字和句子来处理生活)”可知，人们以前认为内心独白是人类天生具有的一部分，每个人都拥有。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“By inner monologue, we mean that we can have private speech that’s addressed to ourselves and that is carried out without any sound.(说到内心独白，我们的意思是我们可以对自己说私人的话，而且是没有声音的)”以及第四段中“You’re aware of its tone and intonation (语调). For example, the voice can “sound” angry or worried.(你知道它的语气和语调。例如，声音可以“听起来”生气或担心)”可知，内心独白并不会发出声音，是对自己说的私人的话。但它有语气语调，你能意识到它们的存在，感受到其中带有的或愤怒或焦急的情绪。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Hurlburt studied participants’ inner speech by asking them to wear a beeper(传呼机). Whenever the device beeped, they had to write down what they were thinking or experiencing in their mind just before the sound.( Hurlburt通过让参与者佩戴寻呼机来研究他们内心的话语。每当设备发出哔哔声时，他们必须写下在声音发出之前他们在脑海中所想或经历的事情)”可知，Hurlbert用传呼机控制被试者，让其写下自己内心的想法，对其进行详细的询问，并加以判断分析。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The lack of an inner monologue has been linked to a condition called aphantasia (心盲症) sometimes called “blindness of the mind’s eye.” (缺乏内心独白与一种叫做心盲症的疾病有关，有时也被称为“心灵之眼失明”)”以及“People who experience aphantasia can’t mentally picture their bedroom or their mother’s face. Many times, those who don’t experience visualizations don’t experience clear inner speech, either.(经历心盲的人无法在脑海中描绘自己的卧室或母亲的脸。很多时候，那些没有经历过视觉化的人也没有经历过清晰的内心语言)”可知，有人不能体验内心独白是与心盲症有关系，即他们无法在脑海中描绘出他们所看到的。故选C。
C

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. ___32___“A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Get eight hours of sleep. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr.Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels.___33___
Engage in volunteer work.___34___ Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
___35___ A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: “If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.”___36___
A. Eat breakfast.
B. But others may not have crossed your mind.
C. Volunteering might even increase your physical activity.
D. These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health.
E. Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
F. Eat healthy food rich in protein and fiber but low in fat and sugar
G. Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. G 35. A 36. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍三种人们意想不到的促进心脏健康的方法。
【32题详解】
根据前文“As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.(多达80%的过早的心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的。有些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的。)”和后文““A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.(加拿大心脏和中风基金会发言人、预防心脏病专家贝丝·艾布拉姆森博士说：“从长远来看，日常生活中的一个小改变可能会产生巨大的影响。”)”可知，一些健康的生活方式是众所周知的，但其它的或许你不会想到，前后句之间为转折关系。所以选择项B“But others may not have crossed your mind.(但你可能没想过其它的。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【33题详解】
根据前文“If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels. (如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平。)”可知，没有充足的睡眠会导致身体健康问题，当然也会对心脏健康产生影响。所以选择项D“These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health. (这些因素都会对心脏和血液健康产生影响。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【34题详解】
根据本段中心句“Engage in volunteer work.(参加志愿者工作。)”和后文“Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. 'We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,' adds Sharma. 'Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.'(2016年发表在《心身医学》上的一项研究表明，生活的目标感与心脏病和中风的较低可能性有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”沙玛补充说。“志愿活动让你走出家门，建立社交网络。”)”可知，参加志愿者活动，可以减少孤独感，缓解压力，从而预防心脏病的发生。所以选择项G“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. (为他人做好事可以帮助你提升自尊，缓解压力。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【35题详解】
这里是本段的小标题。根据后文“A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: 'If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,' says Abramson. (《美国心脏病学会杂志》最近的一项研究发现，不吃早餐的健康人6年后患心脏病的可能性几乎是那些吃丰盛早餐的人的三倍。一个可能的原因是：“如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你稍后就不太可能感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择，”艾布拉姆松说。)”可知，本段主要介绍吃早餐对心脏的好处。所以选择项A“Eat breakfast. (吃早餐。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【36题详解】
根据前文“We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. (作为健康生活方式的一部分，我们需要均衡饮食。)”可知，这里对均衡饮食作了具体的说明。所以选择项E“Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. (选择全麦，低脂的早餐，包括水果。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了神州13号飞船安全返回地球，三位宇航员翟志刚、王亚平和叶光富分别描述了自己的感受，文章还提到他们在太空站所进行的科学和科普课堂。
【52题详解】
考查副词。句意：周六上午，神舟13号返回舱搭载了翟志刚、王亚平和叶光富三名中国宇航员，在完成打破纪录的六个月太空任务后安全返回地球。根据语境可知，此句意为“安全地着陆”，需要用副词来修饰动词landed作状语，故填safely。
【53题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：在现场等待的医疗小组确认三名宇航员身体健康后，中国宣布神舟十三号任务圆满成功。此句意为“宣布神州13号是一个巨大的成功”，success作Shenzhou-13 mission的宾语补足语，表示泛指，应用不定关系修饰，且complete的发音是辅音音素开头，故填a。
【54题详解】
考查介词。句意：在现场等待的医疗小组确认三名宇航员身体健康后，中国宣布神舟十三号任务圆满成功。be in good health意为“身体健康”，是固定短语。故填in。
【55题详解】
考查不定式。句意：翟志刚，这次任务的指挥官，是第一个走出太空舱的人，他微笑着向现场欢呼的人群挥手。当被修饰词前面有序数词时，要用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to come。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：他说他感觉很好。他后面跟着王，她是进入中国空间站的第一位中国女宇航员。根据语境可知，此句意为“紧随其后的是王亚平”，翟是“被跟随”，所以是被动语态，时态根据上下文是过去时，且主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数。故填was followed。
【57题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态。句意：叶光富最后从太空舱里出来。根据上下文可知，此处在陈述过去的事情，所以是一般过去时。故填exited。
【58题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意：在为期6个月的空间站之旅中，宇航员确定了空间站建设的关键技术，包括航天器在轨换位和机械臂重载操作。形容词key修饰名词作confirmed的宾语，由“(involve) in-orbit transposition of spacecraft and robotic arm operation of heavy loads”可知用复数，故填technologies。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在为期6个月的空间站之旅中，宇航员确定了空间站建设的关键技术，包括航天器在轨换位和机械臂重载操作。分析句子结构可知，此处为分词短语作状语，动词involve和其逻辑主语之间technologies是主谓关系。故填involving。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：除了科学任务，宇航员还在空间站上进行了两次现场科学讲座，期间他们进行了各种实验，并回答了在地球上观看课堂的学生的问题。根据语境可知，用形容词修饰mission作定语。故填scientific。
61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：除了科学任务，宇航员还在空间站上进行了两次现场科学讲座，期间他们进行了各种实验，并回答了在地球上观看课堂的学生的问题。根据句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词lectures，关系词在从句中作介词during的宾语，用关系代词which。故填which。

【答案】 ①. express ②. their ③. appreciation ④. of
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式，动词和名词。根据中英文提示，空处缺少“表达对……欣赏”，express“表达”，appreciation“欣赏”，此处表示特指，加定冠词，of表示“……的”，分析句子可知，to是不定式符号，不定式短语作目的状语，根据上文的people可知，此处表示“人们的感激”，故用形容词性物主代词their，故填express their appreciation of。

【答案】 ①. speaks ②. volumes ③. about

68. 即使你似乎无法理解这首诗的真正含义，但是你总是可以说说这首诗在朗读时听上去如何。

第二节(满分25分)
73. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was our turn to open our presents this particular Christmas morning. The living room was already covered with torn wrapping paper. Obviously, the children could hardly wait to discover the hidden treasures, which they had expected for nearly a month. Now we adults sat around the room with our presents at our feet, slowly removing the paper, trying to maintain our dignity in front of the children.
My wife, Brenda, and her family have a tradition of getting each other gag (恶作剧) gifts. This always makes me a bit uneasy at Christmas or my birthday, never knowing what form of embarrassment lies waiting for me under the thin borders of the wrapping paper.
Recently, my six-year-old daughter Christy seemed to busy herself with something while I was playing computer video flight games. Now she was standing directly in front of me. The excitement of the moment just beamed across her face. It was everything she could do to keep herself from helping me rip the paper from each present. Finally, I came to the last gift and with my natural Sherlock Holmes ability, I concluded that this had to be the gag gift. With everyone looking on, I decided to go ahead and get it over with—just let them have their laugh—and I tore the paper and there it was a toy airplane about two inches long. Our holiday guests started giggling to themselves as I looked up to my wife with an unpleasant smile on my face and blurted out (脱口而出), “A toy airplane? Are you kidding me?”
Brenda gave me the look—that look that always tells me I have just said something wrong and should have given it a second thought. I had failed to look at the name tag before I opened the present to see who it was from. As I picked up the paper from the floor and read the name tag, my heart sank.
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。
On the tag were the letters that read, “To Dad, Love Christy”.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Staring at the gift, I suddenly thought of a way to cheer her up.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 On the tag were the letters that read, “To Dad, Love Christy”. Seeing her joy replaced by a look of total embarrassment and humiliation, I was seized by a strong sense of regret and pain. She slowly lowered her head down, seemingly praying that nobody would discover whom the gift came from. Without hesitation, I knelt down and embraced Christy tightly, trying to take back those words. I explained I had thought it was from Mom, but since it came from her, that made it different. However, no matter what I said , it could hardly remove the disappointment in her eyes and hurt in her heart. Confronted with the embarrassing situation, I was at a loss what to do.
Staring at the gift, I suddenly thought of a way to lift her up. I took that toy airplane in my hand, turned on its switch and flew the plane. At the sight of the flying plane, I yelled with excitement, which amused other children who eagerly asked for a try. My eyes resting on Christy, I deliberately ignored their enthusiasm, flying the plane around her. “Let me try it first!”. It wasn’t long before Christy believed it was really a charming gift and grabbed for the plane, a big smile radiating from her lightened face. From then on, I kept the little plane as a reminder of my girl’s love and also, the power of words.
