When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was
inside. He started with toys and oven broke a computer, which made his parents not too pleased. As
he got older, he shifted from breaking things to building things, which greatly comforted his parents.
In middle school, he started working on projects in his kitchen laboratory, and his first project was
making biofuels.
Although Jaggi’s parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy, he
remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually, his parents came around
and started supporting his dreams. Jaggi’s interest continued as he grew up, but he focused more on
solving real problems, especially those related to the environment.
At 17, Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate, a company that uses
technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people’s
idea that going green is expensive, by making available a series of affordable products that are easy
to use. Through Ecoviate, he designed products that could contribute to a greener future. One of his
notable inventions was the “CO2ube”, a device that could be attached to vehicle tailpipes to reduce
carbon emissions, and it’s available to many people at low prices. He also created a smartwatch that
changed body heat into energy, which can be used to power up the watch as well as mobile phones.
Young Jaggi, now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics, has
become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly. However, Jaggi’s
vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products. He plans to launch an online platform
through Ecoviate, which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get
actively involved in innovation and invention. Students can submit a science project online, and talk
about the help that they need to make the project a reality.
4. What can we learn about Jaggi from Paragraph 1?
A. He was curious by nature. B. He dreamed to be an engineer.
C. He always annoyed his parents. D. He was addicted to playing toys.
5. Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “came around” in Paragraph 2?
A. Won out. B. Changed their minds.
C. Walked around. D. Paid a visit.
6. What drove Jaggi to develop affordable and user-friendly products?
A. His love for greener devices. B. His pursuit of academic career.
C. His desire to make a difference. D. His hope to boost green industry.
7. Why does Jaggie plan to launch an online platform?
A. To promote smart products.
B. To empower young inventors.
C. To provide eco-themed courses.
D. To offer environmentalists funds.C
US forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by 2070, suggesting that forests could
worsen global warming instead of easing it, a new Agriculture Department report says.
US forests currently absorb 11 percent of US carbon emissions (释放), equal to the combined
emissions from 40 coal power plants. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon
will start declining after 2025 and that forests could emit up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a
year as their emissions from decaying (腐烂) trees go beyond their carbon absorption.
The prediction suggests that this will require the US to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net
zero, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science. “Eleven percent of our domestic
emissions. That is a really significant portion,” Riley said. “As we work to decarbonize, forests are
one of the greatest tools available. If we were to lose that, it means the US will contribute that much
more” in emissions. The report also assesses and predicts the extent of renewable resources provided
by the nation’s forests and undeveloped landscapes, including farmlands, wetlands and grasslands.
According to the report, the loss of carbon absorption is driven in part by natural disasters which
are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. Development in forested areas,
which the report predicts will continue to increase, is having the same effect as people increasingly
move to the so-called wildland urban areas. Aging forests also contribute as older, mature trees
absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same species, and the US forests are rapidly aging.
More aggressive forest management can help by cutting down a small portion of aging forests to
make ways for younger trees that absorb more carbon. A thorough study of each forest should be
done before removing older trees, Riley said.
8. Why could US forests become a “substantial carbon source”?
A. They fail to absorb enough carbon.
B. They begin to emit carbon increasingly.
C. They may emit more carbon than absorb.
D. Mature trees outnumber young trees.
9. Which of the following may Lynn Riley agree with?
A. US forests have lost their role in carbon absorption.
B. It is urgent for the US to reduce carbon emissions.
C. The US has contributed to 11% carbon emissions.
D. The loss of forests contributes to less carbon emissions.
10. What leads to the loss of carbon absorption?
A. Improper tree species.
B. Removal of aging trees.
C. Decreasing urban development.
D. Frequent severe natural disasters.
11. Which could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Aging Forests —a Major Emitter of Carbon.
B. Growing Forests —a Solution to Carbon Emissions.
C. Reducing Forests —a Threat to Global Warming.
D. Decaying Forests —a Consequence of Global Warming.D
Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my
main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my
eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result -- but a recent paper makes
me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it
draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing. According to this view, we have two
ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive （直觉的）, relying on natural ability and
feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical, involving the use of
logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the
material step by step. For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of
these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the following question: How many
animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark（方舟）? If you answered two, you were probably
only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-
zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it
was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form-seeing vs
hearing-of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answering these
kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were
spoken out loud, rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that
needs logical study. For this reason, I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my
ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while
my critical mind takes a break.
12. What does the author think of listening to audiobooks?
A. It is economical. B. It is demanding.
C. It is time-consuming. D. It is relaxing.
13. Which of the following best describes System 2 model?
A. Fairly reliable. B. Fully automatic.
C. Question-centered. D. Emotion-involved.
14. Why is the Ark mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a view.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To draw a conclusion.
15. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Ways of processing information differ.
B. Reading non-fiction books benefits.
C. Critical thinking is a must in reading.
D. Listening to books comes at a price.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多
余选项。
It’s obvious that our society favors the outgoing personality, so being introverted (内向的) has
always been seen as something that needs to be “fixed”. However, there is no fault in being
introverted. ____16____Introverts have hidden powers. ____17____. While others are busy chatting, introverts observe
things most-people are unaware of. Sometimes we can even read people. While it may seem
introverts are always zoned out, we’re actually analyzing and thinking of creative ideas to one day
share with you.
Introverts also keep the world balanced. In a world that can’t stop talking, the ability to listen to
what each other has to say is an important virtue that will assist us in building peaceful relationships
of understanding. ____18____. By listening to whatever people pour out, introverts help maintain
the order of the world.
Introverts can self-recharge. Though the outgoing may gain their energy through mixing in
crowds, introverts are self-recharging powerhouses. ____19____. Their energy is found through
loneliness.
____20____. In the noise of chatterboxes, their voices often get drowned out. There’s nothing
more disappointing to an introvert than finally taking advantage of a moment to speak, only to be

mind, an introvert will choose their thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones they think their
best to share. So next time, all you have to do is to be willing to listen.

B. And this is exactly what our introverts are born with.

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。
In a very cold January, a puppy wandered around Mr. Lacey’s house, where he lived with his
wife Mamie and their daughter Doris. Icicles (冰锥) hung three feet or more from the roofs of houses
and snow swallowed up cars.
The puppy had been abandoned, and it made its way down the road toward the Laceys’ small
house, with its ears down and trembling from shyness and cold. Doris, whose school had been called
off because of the snow, was clearing the steps when she spotted the puppy on the road.
“Come on, little dog!” she called it over. The puppy shyly wagged its tail when Doris
approached. As soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen, her mom, Mrs. Lacey, asked where
the dog came from. Mr. Lacey, who was cleaning his fingernails with his pocketknife at the table,
said, “I don’t know where it came from, but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the
puppy hard against her. She said nothing.
Because of the snowy weather, Mr. Lacey couldn’t take the puppy to the shelter right away. So,
it stayed in the basement, and Doris fed it leftovers, even though her mom didn’t want to waste food.
Doris thought the puppy was around six months old and would be quite noisy sometimes.
Surprisingly, the puppy behaved well, didn’t cry or make trouble in the basement, and only followed
Doris upstairs when she invited it. Doris often found it on the basement steps listening to the kitchen
talk and smelling the food. She felt the puppy wanted company.
Even after a week, Doris didn’t name the dog, knowing her parents wouldn’t let her keep it. Her
father made so little money that any pets were out of the question. Desperate to keep the dog, Doris
tried to convince her parents by praising the dog’s good behavior and expressing her love for it, but
her parents didn’t give a definite answer.
Despite her efforts, Doris secretly wished the bad weather would never go away, fearing the
puppy’s unavoidable trip to the shelter. However, nine days after the dog had arrived, the sun was
shining.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog and felt rather worried.

【46范文】Dear John,
How are you doing recently? I can’t wait to inform you of the relevant details that will definitely
attract you a lot.
To foster students’ correct outlook on labor, two courses, planting vegetables and traditional
crafts are available to students in each grade this year in our school. Full of curiosity, I take these
courses.
Making handicrafts is one of my favourite, where I gained a fundamental glimpse of essential
life skills such as sewing a button and knitting a scarf. It was surely a rewarding experience,
enriching my after-school life and helping me form the good habit of laboring. Most of the students
are fascinated by the courses because they offer an alternative to our busy school life. Not only can
we get relaxed but also we can gain a higher moral value on life.
Yours,
Li Hua
【读后续写】One possible version:
Doris knew it was time to say goodbye to the dog and felt rather worried. She was sitting alone
in the living room, hugging a pillow and rocking back and forth on the edge of a chair. She was
trying not to cry but she was not strong enough. Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of sadness.
Just as Doris was at her lowest, her parents appeared from the doorway. With a smile on Mrs.
Lacey’s face, she said, “Honey, Papa and I have agreed to keep the puppy as a part of our family.”
