Five-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia(阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn't try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn't like school. Usually, his mind drifted—to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family's garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses.
At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn't a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and created tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.
At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.
Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, "Success isn't about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it's about persevering and achieving your dreams."
Willard Wigan, micro-sculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG.
24. Which of the following best describes Willard's teacher?
A. Sympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless.
25. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants?
A. Because he had a love for little things.
B. Because he was absent-minded in class.
C. Because he wouldn't have to struggle at school.
D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant.
26. What can we infer from the text?
A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream.
B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work.
C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time.
D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school.
27. Which of the following may Willard agree with?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Success belongs to those who don't give up.
C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals.
D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work.
C
We human beings haven't been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.
Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.
Luckily, we've realized that we shouldn't kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.
28. Why do people kill animals?
A. Animals cause endless trouble.
B. They kill animals for something they need.
C. Animals destroy their natural balance.
D. They kill animals to control their number.
29. The example that farmers killed hawks shows that .
A. there are too many rats and mice
B. animals are very beautiful and interesting
C. animals are good food resources
D. every kind of animal is very important in nature
30. What can be learned from this text?
A. Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems.
B. The endangered animals should be kept away from people.
C. People cared much about animals because they relied on them.
D. The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the future of endangered animals?
A. Doubtful B. Uncaring C. Optimistic D. Negative
D
Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal(语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.
Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture(姿势). It actually developed as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are communicating many messages to others every day without even using words. For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word "no" instead of actually saying the word. Or, you might give a "thumbs(拇指) up" to show that you like or agree with something.
But now that we are spending more time online, we may not have as many in-person interactions as before. Because of this, our means of non-verbal communication has changed, but is still an important way to express our thoughts.
Our "digital body language" is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. Instead of using voice messages, we can video chat with our friends to show them our smiling face. Another way to express our emotions digitally is through emojis(表情符号). When we are communicating online, we are only revealing the content and leaving out tones and facial expressions. That's when emojis can help in communication.
Whether using video chat to show our expression or sending an emoji, don't forget the importance of digital body language and non-verbal communication.
32. What does the author mean by saying "Humans are very social creatures"?
A. Humans like living in groups. B. Humans need to communicate.
C. Humans depend on each other. D. Humans differ from other beings.
33. Why are the two examples mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To explain how to express no.
B. To prove how much one likes something.
C. To demonstrate how to communicate messages.
D. To show how much we underestimate body language.
34. What makes digital body language more and more important?
A. The way of communication. B. The voice messages we use.
C. The time we spend online. D. The invention of emojis.
35. How can emojis help in communication?
A. By revealing the content. B. By helping us video chat.
C. By expressing our emotions. D. By leaving out facial expressions.

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。
I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my songs, so when the annual winter recital was canceled, I was disappointed. I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.
My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. "You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living," my mom suggested brightly. "I'm sure the seniors there who do not have families visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs."
I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.
My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming days, I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old classics.
When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables though, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage.
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。
Paragraph 1:
As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. _____________________________________________________________________

Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. ________

解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"At school...His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.(在学校……他的艺术水平提高了，对小事物的喜爱也开始在他心中滋长。)"可知，Willard在上学的时候发现了一种制作更好艺术品的方法。故选D。
27.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段"But he says, "Success isn't about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it's about persevering and achieving your dreams."(但他说："成功不是物质上的东西，比如一块昂贵的手表或一枚昂贵的戒指；这是关于坚持和实现你的梦想。")"可知，Willard可能会同意的说法是成功属于那些不放弃的人。故选B。
C
28.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat"可知，我们为了动物的皮毛、羽毛或肉而猎杀它们。所以人们捕杀动物是为了获取他们需要的东西。故选B。
29.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature."可知，每种动物都在自然界的平衡中占有一席之地。所以农民杀死老鹰的例子表明每种动物在自然界中都很重要。故选D。
30.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems."可知，杀死任何一种动物都会导致很多问题。所以从这篇文章中我们能学到杀死一种动物会引起一些新的问题。故选A。
31.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段"Luckily, we've realized that we shouldn't kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws"可知，幸运的是，我们意识到我们不应该再捕杀动物了。人们正在努力拯救那些很快就会灭绝的动物。政府还通过了保护濒危动物的法律。事实上，很多国家都通过了这样的法律。通过关键词"Luckily，shouldn't kill animals, save, passed such law, protect"可以判断出，作者对濒危动物的未来持乐观态度。故选C。
D
32.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段"Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal(语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.(人类是非常社会化的生物。除了口头交流，我们还利用自己的身体帮助我们更好地表达自己的想法和感受。这种非语言交流被称为肢体语言)"可知，作者说"人类是非常社会化的生物"是想表达：作为社会化的生物，人类是需要交流的，人类会使用口头语言和肢体语言，达到交流的目的。故选B。
33.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段"For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word 'no' instead of actually saying the word. Or, you might give a 'thumbs(拇指) up' to show that you like or agree with something. (例如，你可以把你的头从一边移到另一边来表达'不'这个词，而不是真正说出这个词。或者，你可以'竖起大拇指'来表明你喜欢或同意某件事)"可知，作者通过这两个例子，证明本段的主题句"In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are communicating many messages to others every day without even using words (事实上，肢体语言是如此普遍，你甚至可能没有意识到，你每天不用语言就和别人交流了很多信息)"，由此推知，第三段中提到这两个例子是为了证明我们是多么低估肢体语言。故选D。
34.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一、二句"Our 'digital body language' is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. Instead of using voice messages, we can video chat with our friends to show them our smiling face. (随着我们交流方式的改变，我们的'数字肢体语言'正变得越来越重要。我们不再使用语音信息，而是和我们的朋友视频聊天，向他们展示我们的笑脸)"可知，由于交流方式的改变，在线交流中可以使用视频聊天来进行信息交流，所以数字肢体语言变得越来越重要。故选A。
35.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段"Another way to express our emotions digitally is through emojis(表情符号). When we are communicating online, we are only revealing the content and leaving out tones and facial expressions. That's when emojis can help in communication. (另一种数字表达情绪的方式是通过表情符号。当我们在网上交流时，我们只显示内容，省去了语气和面部表情。那时，表情符号可以帮助交流)"可知，表情符号可以弥补纯文字交流的不足，让对方知道，你在表达这些文字时的情感，有利于交流。故选C。
第二节
答案：36-40 CEFAG
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了真朋友的意义。
36.根据上文"True friends are hard to find."(真正的朋友很难找。)可知，找到真正的朋友很难。根据下文"Only then will we have a valuable friendship."(只有这样，我们才能拥有宝贵的友谊。)承接空处可知，这样就有了真正的友谊。所以空处应说明找到真朋友的具体方式。选项C"我们应该用心去找"，指出了用心找朋友是找到真朋友的方式，与下文逻辑相符。故选C。
37.根据下文"Through good times or bad times, they will stand by your side. They will not leave you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you without trying to change you.

38.根据上文"True friends will keep your secrets as you will keep theirs. "(真正的朋友会保守你的秘密，就像你会保守他们的秘密一样。)可知，真朋友会保守你的秘密，这样会给你安全感。因而，空处可以承接上文，讲述你和你信任的人讲话，就不用担心。选项F"如果你和你信任的人说话"，与下文"you don't have to worry about what you may say wrong. "(你不必担心你会说错什么。)在意义上逻辑相符。故选F。
39.根据上文"Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend you must be a true friend as well. "(友谊是一条双行道。要找到一个真正的朋友，你也必须是一个真正的朋友。)可知，要找到真朋友，你必须也是一个真正的朋友。所以空处承接上文，讲述真正的朋友要做什么。选项A"当你的朋友需要帮助的时候陪在他们身边"，论述了真朋友要在朋友需要时陪在他们身边，符合题意。故选A。
40.根据上文"You will find that there is nothing more valuable than having a true friend by your side to share life with. Just as someone puts it"(你会发现没有什么比拥有一个真正的朋友在你身边分享生活更有价值的了。就像有人说的那样)可知，空处是对本段内容的总结，讲述真正的朋友是最有价值的，是值得珍视的。选项G"世界上没有什么比真正的友谊更值得珍视了"，符合题意。故选G。

解析：本文一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今的社会更加多样化，我们应该重视差异，尊重差异，对差异持开放态度，努力创造一个和平的世界。
56.考查副词比较级。句意：如今，我们的教室、邻里和社区比以往任何时候都更加多样化。根据下文中的than可知，此处应该用much的比较级形式。故填more。

第四部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear David,
I'm writing to tell you that our school’s reading club is looking for new members. I sincerely invite you to join it.
The club aims at encouraging students to form good reading habits. It started last month. Every Wednesday afternoon, there's a reading activity, where we can read well-known books for an hour. After that, some members will recommend books. Frankly speaking, these activities have helped improve our reading ability and broaden our horizons over the month. Besides, if you join us, you can improve your Chinese and make new friends here.
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano? I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, "This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous." Almost immediately, there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone. With everything ready, I took a deep breath and commenced my performance.
Paragraph 2:
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to animatedly dance about the room. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I' m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled, leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most.

B
Five-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia(阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn't try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn't like school. Usually, his mind drifted—to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family's garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses.
At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn't a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and created tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.
At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.
Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, "Success isn't about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it's about persevering and achieving your dreams."
Willard Wigan, micro-sculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG.
24. Which of the following best describes Willard's teacher?
A. Sympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless.
25. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants?
A. Because he had a love for little things.
B. Because he was absent-minded in class.
C. Because he wouldn't have to struggle at school.
D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant.
26. What can we infer from the text?
A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream.
B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work.
C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time.
D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school.
27. Which of the following may Willard agree with?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Success belongs to those who don't give up.
C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals.
D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work.
C
We human beings haven't been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.
Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.
Luckily, we've realized that we shouldn't kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.
28. Why do people kill animals?
A. Animals cause endless trouble.
B. They kill animals for something they need.
C. Animals destroy their natural balance.
D. They kill animals to control their number.
29. The example that farmers killed hawks shows that .
A. there are too many rats and mice
B. animals are very beautiful and interesting
C. animals are good food resources
D. every kind of animal is very important in nature
30. What can be learned from this text?
A. Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems.
B. The endangered animals should be kept away from people.
C. People cared much about animals because they relied on them.
D. The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the future of endangered animals?
A. Doubtful B. Uncaring C. Optimistic D. Negative
D
Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal(语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.
Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture(姿势). It actually developed as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are communicating many messages to others every day without even using words. For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word "no" instead of actually saying the word. Or, you might give a "thumbs(拇指) up" to show that you like or agree with something.
But now that we are spending more time online, we may not have as many in-person interactions as before. Because of this, our means of non-verbal communication has changed, but is still an important way to express our thoughts.
Our "digital body language" is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. Instead of using voice messages, we can video chat with our friends to show them our smiling face. Another way to express our emotions digitally is through emojis(表情符号). When we are communicating online, we are only revealing the content and leaving out tones and facial expressions. That's when emojis can help in communication.
Whether using video chat to show our expression or sending an emoji, don't forget the importance of digital body language and non-verbal communication.
32. What does the author mean by saying "Humans are very social creatures"?
A. Humans like living in groups. B. Humans need to communicate.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my songs, so when the annual winter recital was canceled, I was disappointed. I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.
My mom had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. "You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living," my mom suggested brightly. "I'm sure the seniors there who do not have families visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs."
I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.
My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming days, I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old classics.
When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables though, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. _____________________________________________________________________

第二部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
21.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段"And today our focus is Travelling with a Bike. (今天我们的重点是骑自行车旅行。)"可知，这篇文章可能是写给自行车旅行者的。故选B。
22.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据BIKES ON THE TRAIN中"Bicycles can be taken on s-tog lines for free but you can't take bikes through Nørreport station during peak hours. (可以将自行车免费带上s-tog线，但在高峰时段不能通过Nørreport站。)"可知，高峰时间s-tog列车上可以免费携带自行车。故选A。
23.答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据BIKES ON THE BUS中"You can bring a bike on a bus but each bus is limited to two bikes, even if there is much space. Generally, people do not travel with their bikes on buses in Copenhagen. (你可以带一辆自行车上公共汽车，但每辆公共汽车仅限两辆自行车，即使有很大的空间。一般来说，在哥本哈根人们不携带自行车乘公共汽车。)"可知，在公共汽车上携带自行车不能得到保证。故选C。
B
24.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段"Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia(阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn't try to help him.(不幸的是，他的老师对阅读障碍一无所知，这是一种会使字母和数字混淆的学习障碍。她没有试图帮助他。)"可知，Willard的老师帮不上他忙，可以用unhelpful来描述。故选B。
25.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant.(Willard对那些蚂蚁特别好奇。他觉得自己和它们一样—渺小而微不足道。)"可知，Willard对给蚂蚁建房子感兴趣是因为他觉得他和蚂蚁一样，都不重要。故选D。
26.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"At school...His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.(在学校……他的艺术水平提高了，对小事物的喜爱也开始在他心中滋长。)"可知，Willard在上学的时候发现了一种制作更好艺术品的方法。故选D。
27.答案：B

C
28.答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段"We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat"可知，我们为了动物的皮毛、羽毛或肉而猎杀它们。所以人们捕杀动物是为了获取他们需要的东西。故选B。
29.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature."可知，每种动物都在自然界的平衡中占有一席之地。所以农民杀死老鹰的例子表明每种动物在自然界中都很重要。故选D。
30.答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段"Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems."可知，杀死任何一种动物都会导致很多问题。所以从这篇文章中我们能学到杀死一种动物会引起一些新的问题。故选A。
31.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段"Luckily, we've realized that we shouldn't kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws"可知，幸运的是，我们意识到我们不应该再捕杀动物了。人们正在努力拯救那些很快就会灭绝的动物。政府还通过了保护濒危动物的法律。事实上，很多国家都通过了这样的法律。通过关键词"Luckily，shouldn't kill animals, save, passed such law, protect"可以判断出，作者对濒危动物的未来持乐观态度。故选C。
D
32.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段"Humans are very social creatures. In addition to verbal(语言的) communication, we also use our bodies to help us better express our thoughts and feelings. This non-verbal communication is known as body language.(人类是非常社会化的生物。除了口头交流，我们还利用自己的身体帮助我们更好地表达自己的想法和感受。这种非语言交流被称为肢体语言)"可知，作者说"人类是非常社会化的生物"是想表达：作为社会化的生物，人类是需要交流的，人类会使用口头语言和肢体语言，达到交流的目的。故选B。
33.答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段"For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word 'no' instead of actually saying the word. Or, you might give a 'thumbs(拇指) up' to show that you like or agree with something. (例如，你可以把你的头从一边移到另一边来表达'不'这个词，而不是真正说出这个词。或者，你可以'竖起大拇指'来表明你喜欢或同意某件事)"可知，作者通过这两个例子，证明本段的主题句"In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are communicating many messages to others every day without even using words (事实上，肢体语言是如此普遍，你甚至可能没有意识到，你每天不用语言就和别人交流了很多信息)"，由此推知，第三段中提到这两个例子是为了证明我们是多么低估肢体语言。故选D。
34.答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一、二句"Our 'digital body language' is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. Instead of using voice messages, we can video chat with our friends to show them our smiling face. (随着我们交流方式的改变，我们的'数字肢体语言'正变得越来越重要。我们不再使用语音信息，而是和我们的朋友视频聊天，向他们展示我们的笑脸)"可知，由于交流方式的改变，在线交流中可以使用视频聊天来进行信息交流，所以数字肢体语言变得越来越重要。故选A。
35.答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段"Another way to express our emotions digitally is through emojis(表情符号). When we are communicating online, we are only revealing the content and leaving out tones and facial expressions. That's when emojis can help in communication. (另一种数字表达情绪的方式是通过表情符号。当我们在网上交流时，我们只显示内容，省去了语气和面部表情。那时，表情符号可以帮助交流)"可知，表情符号可以弥补纯文字交流的不足，让对方知道，你在表达这些文字时的情感，有利于交流。故选C。
第二节
答案：36-40 CEFAG
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了真朋友的意义。
36.根据上文"True friends are hard to find."(真正的朋友很难找。)可知，找到真正的朋友很难。根据下文"Only then will we have a valuable friendship."(只有这样，我们才能拥有宝贵的友谊。)承接空处可知，这样就有了真正的友谊。所以空处应说明找到真朋友的具体方式。选项C"我们应该用心去找"，指出了用心找朋友是找到真朋友的方式，与下文逻辑相符。故选C。
37.根据下文"Through good times or bad times, they will stand by your side. They will not leave you alone when things get difficult. They will accept you without trying to change you. They will bring new and exciting things into your life and make it richer."(无论顺境逆境，他们都会站在你身边。当事情变得困难时，他们不会独自留下你。他们会接受你，而不是试图改变你。他们会给你的生活带来新的、令人兴奋的东西，让你的生活更加丰富多彩。)可知，真朋友不在乎你的境况，总会站在你身边。因而作为本段的主题句，可以描述什么是真朋友。选项E"真正的朋友是一个永远在你身边的人。"语义符合。故选E。
38.根据上文"True friends will keep your secrets as you will keep theirs. "(真正的朋友会保守你的秘密，就像你会保守他们的秘密一样。)可知，真朋友会保守你的秘密，这样会给你安全感。因而，空处可以承接上文，讲述你和你信任的人讲话，就不用担心。选项F"如果你和你信任的人说话"，与下文"you don't have to worry about what you may say wrong. "(你不必担心你会说错什么。)在意义上逻辑相符。故选F。
39.根据上文"Friendship is a two-way street. To find a true friend you must be a true friend as well. "(友谊是一条双行道。要找到一个真正的朋友，你也必须是一个真正的朋友。)可知，要找到真朋友，你必须也是一个真正的朋友。所以空处承接上文，讲述真正的朋友要做什么。选项A"当你的朋友需要帮助的时候陪在他们身边"，论述了真朋友要在朋友需要时陪在他们身边，符合题意。故选A。
40.根据上文"You will find that there is nothing more valuable than having a true friend by your side to share life with. Just as someone puts it"(你会发现没有什么比拥有一个真正的朋友在你身边分享生活更有价值的了。就像有人说的那样)可知，空处是对本段内容的总结，讲述真正的朋友是最有价值的，是值得珍视的。选项G"世界上没有什么比真正的友谊更值得珍视了"，符合题意。故选G。

58.考查主谓一致。句意：不同的肤色、语言、身体能力和服装是我们每天经历的多样性的一些类型。分析句式结构可知，该句主语是多个名词构成的，故此处谓语动词应该用复数形式。故填are。
59.考查词性转换。句意：正如玛雅·安杰洛所说："在多样性中存在着美和力量。"分析句式结构可知，and在此处连接两个名词，故应该用strong的名词形式。故填strength。
60.考查固定搭配。句意：这意味着尊重他人，向他人学习，重视我们的差异，发现我们的共同点。mean在此处意为"意味着"，故用动词-ing形式作宾语，构成固定搭配mean doing sth.。故填valuing。
61.考查介词。句意：同上。此处用固定短语have…in common意为"在……有共同之处"符合语境。故填in。
62.考查被动语态。句意：宽容的反义词是封闭思想。争论、打架和战争都是由于不时的封闭思想造成的。根据下文中的from time to time及主语和谓语之间的被动关系可知，此处应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are caused。
63.考查定语从句。句意：相比之下，对差异持开放态度的人将创造一个更和平的世界，并在生活中拥有更好的机会，无论是教育、工作还是友谊方面。分析句式结构可知，此处是先行词为humans的定语从句，先行词指人且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词who/ that来引导定语从句。故填who/ that。
64.考查冠词。句意：所以拥有宽容会让我们的生活变得更好，让世界变得更美好。根据句意可知，此处应该用不定冠词a修饰名词place，表泛指。故填a。
65.考查固定搭配。句意：差异是人类的精神，我们应该学会尊重它。learn作及物动词时，其后可接动词不定式作宾语，构成固定搭配learn to do sth.。故填to respect。
第四部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear David,
I'm writing to tell you that our school’s reading club is looking for new members. I sincerely invite you to join it.
The club aims at encouraging students to form good reading habits. It started last month. Every Wednesday afternoon, there's a reading activity, where we can read well-known books for an hour. After that, some members will recommend books. Frankly speaking, these activities have helped improve our reading ability and broaden our horizons over the month. Besides, if you join us, you can improve your Chinese and make new friends here.
I'm looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano? I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, "This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous." Almost immediately, there was scattered applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug in the piano and set the microphone. With everything ready, I took a deep breath and commenced my performance.
Paragraph 2:
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to animatedly dance about the room. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped theirs toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I' m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. It ended up being a blessing in disguise that the recital was canceled, leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most.
