Deaf people not only deserve respect, they deserve to be heard,” Marlee said.

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述聋人马利（Marlee）通过学校的帮助和自己的努力成为第一位获得奥斯卡奖的聋人女演员的故事。
【16题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：马利一岁半的时候聋了。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，谓语用一般过去时。故填became。
【17题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：她的父母把她送到了一所公立学校，在那里，马利很快就适应了这种生活。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词a public school在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【18题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在学校的帮助下，她成为第一位获得奥斯卡奖的聋人女演员。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词help和句子主语she是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式，表示被动。故填Helped。
B
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

【答案】19. whether
20. amazing
21. at
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述虽然不知道是否真的有人有照片记忆，但确实有一些人的记忆力超群。
【19题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：一个有照片记忆的人可以在多年后记住一张照片、一本书或一件事的每一个细节，但尚未证明是否有人真的有照片记忆。分析句子结构和意思可知，it是形式主语，空格处引导主语从句，从句基本成分完整，上下文需要“是否”的意思，所以用连词whether引导。故填whether。
【20题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，也有一些人确实有令人惊讶的记忆。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词amazing，意为“令人吃惊的”，作定语，修饰后面的名词memories。故填amazing。
【21题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们都很擅长在有限的时间内记住特定的事情。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定搭配be good at，意为“擅长”。故填at。

23. to break
24. accidentally
25. countries
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了一次性塑料袋的危害，应禁止使用。
【22题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：一次性塑料袋在扔掉之前最多使用几次。本文讲的是客观事实，应该用一般现在时，主语they即（Single-use plastic bags ）和谓语动词throw之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是they，故谓语动词用复数形式。故填are thrown。
【23题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：它们需要几百年的时间才分解。固定句型：It takes sb./sth. +一段时间+ to do sth.（花某人/物多长时间干某事），此处用动词不定式（to do ）作真正主语，It形式主语。故填to break。
【24题详解】
考查副词。句意：随着时间的推移，这些袋子分解成无数的小碎片，鱼可能会不小心吃掉其中一些。修饰动词eat用副词accidentally作状语，故填accidentally。
【25题详解】

A
If you don’t know what to watch in the coming holiday, here are the top movie search engines on the web. Some require little or no input before they give you titles, while others want to find out exactly what your interests are.
Rotten Tomatoes
Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other aspects to help it find the best movie for you. The quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations is changeable but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.
IMDb
IMDb automatically recommends similar films to the movie you search for instead of asking you to input ratings (评分) or to tell it what movies you like. At the bottom of the page, a “Recommendations” section will show you a variety of other films being displayed, based on information gathered from its database, which examines films to find similarities and differences.
Jinni
Whether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic search. You can enter words like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You won’t regret it!
Criticker
Instead of just allowing you to rate films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users’ lists and see which movies they like. Combining community and functionality, Criticker is a unique, yet worthwhile service to check out.
26. You can search for a movie based on your mood on ________.
A. Rotten Tomatoes and Jinni B. IMDb and Criticker
C. Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb D. Jinni and Criticker
27. IMDb is especially suitable for people who ________.
A. are too busy to watch films
B. clearly know their favorite films
C. don’t want to spend time rating films

D. To explain how to find the best online films.
【答案】26. A 27. C 28. D 29. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了几个电影搜索引擎。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other aspects to help it find the best movie for you(与其告诉烂番茄你喜欢哪部电影，不如告诉它你喜欢什么样的电影，你想看哪些演员，以及其他方面，帮助它找到最适合你的电影)”以及倒数第二段“Whether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all.( 无论你是想根据你的心情、可用时间还是评论来搜索电影，该网站都应有尽有)”可知，Rotten Tomatoes 和 Jinni这两个搜索引擎基于你的情绪，故选A项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“IMDb automatically recommends similar films to the movie you search for instead of asking you to input ratings (评分) or to tell it what movies you like.( IMDb会自动向你搜索的电影推荐类似的电影，而不是要求你输入评分或告诉它你喜欢什么电影)”可知，IMDb比较适合那些不愿意花时间评分的人，故选C项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of just allowing you to rate films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users.( Criticker不只是允许你对电影进行评分，而是将你的评分与其他用户的评分进行比较，看看你的品味与其他用户有多接近)”可知，Criticker的特别之处是能比较用户的评分，故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you don’t know what to watch in the coming holiday, here are the top movie search engines on the web.( 如果你不知道在即将到来的假期里该看什么，下面是网络上最热门的电影搜索引擎)”、“Rotten Tomatoes(烂番茄)”、“IMDb(互联网电影资料库)”、“Jinni”以及“Criticker”可知，本文的主要目的是介绍几个电影搜索引擎，故选C项。
B
Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After the host made a brief introduction, the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and the inability to fully extend his arms and legs, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes (义眼) and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Later, Patrick became a junior at the University of Louisville. His father attended classes with him and he made nearly all A’s. He was also a part of the marching band. He and his father did it together. They attended all the band practices and performances.
But even more than his unbelievable musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “life made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! It gave me the ability… the musical gift I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
30. What do we know about Patrick?
A. Patrick was born with poor eyesight.
B. Patrick could dance with his fingers.
C. Patrick could sing and play the piano.
D. Patrick introduced himself before the show.
31. According to the passage, Patrick’s father ________.
A. expected his son to be a great musician and singer
B. attended classes and band practices with him
C. was the leader of the marching band
D. taught him to play baseball
32. Which words can best describe Patrick?
A. Brave and outgoing. B. Talented and positive.
C. Creative and generous. D. Honest and determined.
33. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Interest is the best teacher.
C. Little kindness makes a great difference.
D. Life is about learning to dance in the rain.
【答案】30. C 31. B 32. B 33. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述帕特里克（Patrick）虽然天生看不见并且终生残疾但是仍坚持学习音乐的故事告诉我们要珍惜自己所拥有的东西。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After the host made a brief introduction, the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. (主持人简单介绍后，年轻的音乐家帕特里克·亨利·休斯先生坐在轮椅上被推上舞台，开始弹钢琴。他弹奏着优美的音乐，手指在琴键上翩翩起舞。然后他边弹边唱，唱得更美了。)”可知，帕特里克会弹钢琴，还会唱歌。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“His father attended classes with him and he made nearly all A’s. He was also a part of the marching band. He and his father did it together. They attended all the band practices and performances. (他的父亲和他一起上课，他几乎取得了所有的A。他也是行进乐队的一员。他和他父亲一起做的。他们参加了乐队的所有练习和演出。)”可知，帕特里克的父亲和他一起上课并参加了乐队的所有练习和演出。故选B。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But even more than his unbelievable musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “life made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! It gave me the ability… the musical gift I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”(但更让我感动的不仅是帕特里克令人难以置信的音乐天赋，还有他“感恩的态度”。在舞台上，在歌曲间隙，他向观众讲述了自己的生活，讲述了自己是多么的幸运。他说：“生活让我失明，无法行走。没什么大不了！它给了我能力……我拥有的音乐天赋……结识新朋友的绝佳机会。”)”可知，帕特里克很有音乐天赋，而且生活态度积极向上。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and the inability to fully extend his arms and legs, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes (义眼) and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”(帕特里克·亨利·休斯出生时没有眼睛，无法完全伸展胳膊和腿，这使他终身残疾。然而，小时候，他戴上了假眼，坐在轮椅上。在他一岁生日之前，他发现了这架钢琴。他妈妈说：“我可以在钢琴上弹奏任何音符，只要一两次尝试，他就会弹出来。”到他两岁生日时，他可以根据要求演奏简单的歌曲。他的父亲很兴奋。“我们可能不打棒球，但我们可以一起演奏音乐。”)”和第五段“But even more than his unbelievable musical talent, it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “life made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL!

C
Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school teacher, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking. He wrote some well-organized nonsense (谬论) on the blackboard. The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions. This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers. The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning (PEEL).
PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had discovered that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals: what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else. Students’ lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity.
Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works. Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they conflict with scientific explanations that are learned later. In fact, such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching. Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own. In a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own.
Clearly what was needed was to make students aware of their learning process, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with. In the class being taught by PEEL methods, there are some meaningful changes. Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment. The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected. This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress.
The PEEL researchers believed that their experiment would be proved valuable if the experiences of children and teachers in different classes using PEEL methods were similar. So far, all teachers and students who have worked with PEEL methods agree that their approach to teaching and learning has really changed. The students are far more ready to question what is presented to them, while the teachers have realized that the traditional methods are not good enough.
34. Why was PEEL carried out?
A. To ensure students higher test scores.
B. To encourage teachers to do scientific work.
C. To find the gap between what is taught and learnt.
D. To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals.
35. The underlined word “conflict” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. to match B. to disagree
C. to be satisfied D. to be unfamiliar
36. We can learn that in the PEEL classes, ________.
A. teachers don’t judge students’ ideas
B. students are given arranged activities
C. students focus on their real learning process
D. teachers don’t give usual scientific explanations
37. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To analyze the effects of PEEL.
B. To present a project called PEEL.
C. To call on teachers to join in PEEL.
D. To show students’ changes in PEEL.
【答案】34. D 35. B 36. C 37. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述提高有效学习项目（PEEL）。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had discovered that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals (PEEL是由墨尔本的一些教师和研究人员进行的，他们发现正常的教学方法很少能达到预期目标)”可知，一些教师和研究人员进行PEEL实验，是为了使得正常的教学方法能达到预期的目标。故选D。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they conflict with scientific explanations that are learned later. (他们自己的想法对他们来说仍然很重要，即使它们与后来学到的科学解释conflict。)”可知，这里指孩子们有自己的想法，但是可能会跟后来学到的科学解释不一致，所以conflict的意思是“不一致，相冲突”，和选项B意思一致。故选B。

细节理解题。根据第四段“Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment. The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected. This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress. (学生有更多的时间表达自己的观点，而老师不会立即做出判断。学生们被允许指导课堂上所做的事情，他们自己的想法总是受到尊重。这使他们关注实际的学习过程，并对自己的进步负责。)”可知，在PEEL课堂上，学生们会关注实际的学习过程。故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school teacher, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking. He wrote some well-organized nonsense (谬论) on the blackboard. The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions. This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers. The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning (PEEL). (高中老师Damien Hynes厌倦了告诉学生提问和思考他们在做什么，他决定做一个实验来测试他长期以来的想法。他在黑板上写了一些条理分明的胡言乱语。学生们只是简单地抄了一下，但很少有人问任何问题。这表明学生愿意相信老师给的任何东西。这个故事被重复，以支持提高有效学习项目（PEEL）。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍提高有效学习项目（PEEL）。故选B。

Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be the easy subject at school insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art brings money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert they are paying for the art product—music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don’t just want material things anymore they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people’s well-being. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development: encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.

A. they have both commercial and cultural values

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.

Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation’s experience. (此外，艺术可以将社区团结在一起，减少孤独感，让人们感到更安全。当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经历，并通过艺术品表达共同价值观，以纪念对一个国家的经历具有重要意义的事件时，他们之间就会建立起社会纽带。)”可知，艺术可以增强社会纽带。故选A。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. (艺术对人类生活至关重要，世界各国都在庆祝艺术，并将其用于各种目的。没有艺术的生活将是枯燥乏味的，因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍艺术对人类有重要意义，是我们不可或缺的社会生活的一部分。所以用D项“Art: A Blessing to Humankind”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选D。

第二节(共5小题;48-51题各2分，第52题5分，共13分)
阅读下而短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答，
Before ending up on a supermarket shelf, an avocado (牛油果) has produced 1.3 kilograms of carbon into the atmosphere. Its production alone uses 60 gallons of water. Despite this, the fruit will often be thrown away as household waste.
Household food waste is the result of mismanagement. If the food is better managed, much of the waste is avoidable. To reduce household food waste, a growing number of food sellers decide to remove date labeling, such as the “use by” or “best before” date, from some fresh food.

Past studies have confirmed the importance of date labelling. Almost 60% of western European consumers surveyed said they “always” check date labels while purchasing. But date labelling can cause problems. People’s failure to truly understand date labellling often leads to unreasonable decision making. Indeed, consumers commonly don’t accept eatable, but date-expired (过期的) food.
To get rid of date labelling is therefore a promising start. Without date labels, information that may affect consumers’ understanding of what is safe to eat is removed. Instead, consumers are encouraged to sense check fresh food items.
In the case of an avocado, the advice given to consumers is that when ripe (成熟的) it should have a “pleasant and slightly sweet smell” while the skin should be “dark green or brown”.
Information is also provided on how an avocado should look, taste, and feel when “overripe”. It is hoped that a better informed consumer will be less likely to blindly throw away food due to an expiration date.
48. What causes household food waste according to the passage?
________________________________________________________________
49. What do food sellers decide to do to reduce household food waste?
________________________________________________________________
50 Why can date labelling cause problems?
________________________________________________________________
51. How can consumers know what is safe to eat without date labels?

52. Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to reduce food waste in daily life? (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】48. Mismanagement.
49. Food sellers decide to remove date labeling, such as the “use by” or “best before” date, from some fresh food.
50. Date labelling often leads people to unreasonable decision making.
51. Without date labels, consumers can look, taste, and feel whether the food is safe to eat.
52. In order to reduce food waste in daily life, we can shop by planning weekly meals ahead and effectively, store fruits and vegetables in the correct way and even use fruit and vegetable peels to make food or fertilizer.

(但日期标签可能会带来问题。人们不能真正理解日期标注往往会导致不合理的决策。事实上，消费者通常不接受可吃但过期的食品。)”可知，日期标注往往会使人们做出不合理的决策。故答案为Date labelling often leads people to unreasonable decision making.
【51题详解】
根据第四段“Without date labels, information that may affect consumers’ understanding of what is safe to eat is removed. Instead, consumers are encouraged to sense check fresh food items. (如果没有日期标签，可能影响消费者对什么是安全食用的理解的信息就会被删除。相反，鼓励消费者对新鲜食品进行检测。)”，第五段“In the case of an avocado, the advice given to consumers is that when ripe (成熟的) it should have a “pleasant and slightly sweet smell” while the skin should be “dark green or brown”. (就鳄梨而言，给消费者的建议是，鳄梨成熟后应该有“令人愉快的微甜气味”，而表皮应该是“深绿色或棕色”。)”和最后一段“Information is also provided on how an avocado should look, taste, and feel when “overripe”. It is hoped that a better informed consumer will be less likely to blindly throw away food due to an expiration date. (还提供了鳄梨“过熟”时的外观、味道和感觉信息。人们希望，更知情的消费者不太可能因为保质期而盲目扔掉食物。)”可知，没有日期标签，消费者可以比较新鲜食品的外观和气味来进行检测。故答案为Without date labels, consumers can look, taste, and feel whether the food is safe to eat.
【52题详解】
本题是开放性试题，主要是问消费者们还有哪些方法可以减少食物浪费。比如：通过计划每周的饮食来有效地购物，以正确的方式储存水果和蔬菜；使用水果和蔬菜的果皮等。故答案为In order to reduce food waste in daily life, we can shop by planning weekly meals ahead and effectively, store fruits and vegetables in the correct way and even use fruit and vegetable peels to make food or fertilizer.
