Robert was born on August 9, 1910 in the Netherlands. His mother came from a family of musicians and piano
manufacturers, a fact that greatly influenced Robert’s life. His father was a physician in army, a position which
required frequent foreign postings. The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This
experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages.
Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He
studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the
instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were
unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art,
and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends.
In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous（匿名的）18th-century Chinese novel that
would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated.
The novel, titled Four Great Strange Cases of Empress Wu’s Reign, was a fictional account of the deeds of
Judge Dee, one of the heroes of traditional Chinese detective fiction, and was set in the 7th-century Tang Dynasty.
Fascinated, Robert not only translated the novel into English, he also did some research on the history of Chinese
Penal Code and other legal literature of the period. It was not until 1949 that Robert was able to publish his
translation —Dee Goong An: Three Murder Cases Solved by Judge Dee. Robert’s Chinese mysteries comprise over
10 novels and short-story volumes, recording the career of Chinese detective called Di Renjie. Interestingly,
the tales first found fame in oriental（东方的）editions, before being translated into English in 1957.
Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in
the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated
the purpose of fiction.
24．What inspired Robert’s love for oriental culture?
A．His language competence.
B．His previous stay in East Asia.
C．His mother’s good family background.
D．His father’s professional medical knowledge.
25．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A．Robert’s passion for China. B．Robert’s music proficiency.
C．Robert’s early achievements. D．Robert’s learning experiences.
26．What contributed to Robert’s fame?
A．He introduced western civilization to China.
B．He polished an existing Chinese fiction style.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司C．He spread Chinese literature to a wider audience.
D．He conducted research on famous Chinese detectives.
27．Which of the following can best describe Robert’s translations?
A．Vivid and faithful. B．Dramatic and realistic.
C．Accurate and humorous. D．Imaginary and accessible.
C
The Merriam-Webster dictionary puts it simply: “birdbrain: a stupid person”. Well, some birds are having
the last laugh with that one.
For animals, the ability to solve problems with multiple tools is a rare talent, which was reported
only in chimpanzees（大猩猩）. But now, a study conducted by Osuna-Mascaró’s team adds Goffin’s
cockatoos（small white parrots）to the “Dean’s List”, too.
Inspired by the chimpanzees which fish for white ants via tools, the team tasked the cockatoos with
fishing for a kind of nu t in three experiments. Firstly, the researchers made a box containing a nut
which was covered by a transparent membrane（薄膜）. Once a cockatoo broke it through with a sharp
stick, the bird would need to use a straw（麦秆）to reach the nut. The birds were supplied with the two
tools.
Seven of the 10 cockatoos figured it out, with two completing the task within 35seconds on their
first attempt! Since the cockatoos don’t have similar foraging（觅食的）requirements in the wild, there is
no chance that they can adapt their tool-using strategies to the task naturally.
Next, the team mixed up the boxes and randomly presented each bird with a box with the membrane or a box
without. The birds were given the same two tools. As a result, all the cockatoos mastered the test quickly and were
able to recognize when a single tool was sufficient and when two tools were required.
However, the birds showed an interesting behavior beyond the researchers’ expectations. “When they chose
between which tool to use, they were picking one up, releasing it, then picking up the other one, and so on,” says
Osuna-Mascaró. “It is worthwhile to figure this out in future.”
Subsequently, the researchers evaluated the birds’ transportation ability while carrying tools in different
situations. Most cockatoos carried the two tools together when they were presented with a box having the
membrane. “I’ve seen birds combining objects playfully, but they rarely transport more than one object together
in their normal behavior,” says one biologist. “We feel that, in terms of technical cognition and tool use, birds
have been underestimated. Maybe it’s time for dictionary editors to justify birds.”
28．What is the common feature of the animals in the “Dean’s List”?
A．Exceptional social behavior.
B．The ability to recognize objects.
C．Strong adaptability to the environment.
D．The intelligence to use tools purposefully.
29．What’s the purpose of employing membrane in the first experiment?
A．To prevent the nut from falling off.
B．To pose a challenge to the cockatoos.
C．To increase the visual appeal of the box.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司D．To encourage competition among the cockatoos.
30．What can we learn about the cockatoos from the second experiment?
A．They can employ tools correspondingly.
B．They can identify the order of the boxes.
C．They can memorize the location of each nut.
D．They can prioritize the boxes with the membrane.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．How do Goffin’s cockatoos use tools in the wild?
B．Why did we use to underestimate birds’ intelligence?
C．Goffin’s cockatoos beat off chimpanzees in using tools
D．Goffin’s cockatoos break down the “birdbrain” prejudice
D
I read a lot of nonfiction, mostly books about current issues. The topics vary but most of the books share a
common feature. When I come to the last chapter —the one where solutions are supposed to be offered—I’m
usually left disappointed. Most authors fall back on “I’ve laid out the problem, you fix it.” When solutions are
offered, they usually call for strong action by the government, which, these days, is useless.
So I was excited when I recently read Jonathan Haidt’s new book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great
Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness.
Haidt, a social psychologist from New York University, shows how the play-based childhood began to decline
in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the phone-based childhood in the early 2010s. As
teens traded in their flip phones（翻盖手机）for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online
soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family dived.
He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this great rewiring of childhood has interfered with
children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from addiction to loneliness, social
comparison, and perfectionism.
What stands out in Haidt’s book is his commitment — along with many other educators, parents and
community groups —to addressing the shortage of free play and the excess of social media. This eye-opening book
is a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves.
Solutions range from parents setting limits on their children’s use of smartphones, to groups of parents cooperating
so their children won’t feel rejected by kids living in a phone-centered world.
To all the local schools, parents and agencies already working to let kids be kids, I say thanks, and keep up the
good work. To everyone else interested in the subject, I urge you to read Haidt’s book and check out the many
resources and groups he cites. If people don’t push for change, then tech companies driven by data
collection and ad revenue（收入）will continue to rule kids’ lives, rather than parents and local
communities.
32．Why do most books about current issues disappoint the author?
A．They explore the same topic.
B．They justify government actions.
C．They fail to offer practical solutions.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司D．They lack a full review of the situation.
33．The underlined part in paragraph 4 means the shift in kids’ energy and attention from ______.
A．flip phones to smart ones
B．the physical world to the virtual one
C．academic studies to stylish entertainments
D．over-protected childhood to care-free adulthood
34．What is the highlight of The Anxious Generation?
A．It offers fresh insight into social media.
B．Its content is well received by children.
C．It will influence collective decision-making.
D．Its author suggests ways to fix the problems.
35．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A．Issue a warning. B．Recommend a book.
C．Express gratitude. D．Present an argument.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
Loving your own body is often easier said than done. Do you know that 70% of women between the ages of
18-30 dislike their bodies? 36 45% say they are dissatisfied with their bodies too. There are countless ways
you can work on body positivity, and you’ll have to find out what works for you.
Think healthier, not skinnier
When you’re making meals, or when you’re hitting the gym, don’t set your fitness goals according to a
number you’d like to see on the scale. Exercise and a healthy diet shouldn’t be a punishment. 37 So,
instead of thinking about how much your body weighs, or how it’s shaped, think about all the amazing things it can
do.
Surround yourself with positivity
Negative messages about body image are all around us. According to one study, participants who spent more
time on social media were more likely to develop a negative body image and eating disorders. 38 Look for
positive people, people who practice self-love, and people who will encourage you to be who you are.
Focus on the things you like about yourself
Every time a negative thought about your body pops into your mind, counter it with something positive. Try
making lists of the things you like about your body. And not just how it looks, but the things it allows you to do.
39 We naturally tend to look for our dissatisfactions and overlook the good things. To break out of that way of
thinking, it will take daily repetition. Just keep at it.
Stop comparing yourself to others
40 One person is beautiful in one way, and the next person in some other way. And isn’t that how it
should be? Imagine how boring it would be if there were only one way to be, and to feel, beautiful. Comparing
yourself to others can leave you feeling like you don’t look the way you should, but you’re not supposed to look
like someone else; you’re supposed to look like you.
A．List it all out.
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司B．Pick up a new hobby.
C．And men aren’t much better off.
D．People come in all shapes and sizes.
E．So, try to cut out the negativity that you can.
F．Often we project our own insecurities onto others.
G．It is one way we show respect and appreciation for our bodies.

and if you had not 52 me, I would never have gone to college.”
I know how 53 one teacher can impact the life of a person who does not believe in himself. We may

“Thank you,” I feel a 55 that will accompany me for the rest of my life.

学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司阅读下面材料，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。
“You don’t want that one,” the shelter volunteer said. “He’s broken.”
“Broken?” I asked. Had I heard her correctly? The minute I’d walked into the animal shelter’s cat room, the
little black creature had been one step behind me, my shadow. I wasn’t an expert, but he seemed friendly.
“He’s been a stray（流浪的动物）since birth,” the volunteer explained. “He doesn’t like anyone—
not other cats, not people. It’s nearly impossible for him to be fully domesticated（驯养）.”
“I want to adopt him,” I said.
“Really? But why?” she asked, obviously confused.
“Because he needs a home,” I said. Then under my breath, “and because I’m broken too.”
I filled out the paperwork and left with him that afternoon. Back at home, I let him out of the carrier so he
could explore. I watched as this little cat smelled every inch of the house. Eventually, his curiosity satisfied, he
settled in my lap. I reached out a hesitant hand to pet him. He purred（猫发出呜呜声）.
“Look, I’m going to be honest with you,” I said. “I’ve only been able to love two people in my entire life—
my brother and one friend.” Though he wasn’t looking at me, the cat’s ears were pointed in my direction. I knew
he was listening. “You shouldn’t expect me to love you. I don’t know how.” I continued. He lowered his
head and closed his eyes, his body growing heavy. Then he drifted（进入某种状态）off to sleep.
It took me a week to come up with a name for him. I finally settled on Mr. Bojangles —Bo for short—after the
song about a homeless man who, even after being arrested, remained happy and optimistic. The name fit this cat.
Even when he was “behind bars” at the shelter, Bo had been meowing and purring, like he was trying to cheer
me up.
As he adjusted to life with me, he got more talkative. More often than not, I found myself talking back:
“Meow!”
“Good morning, Bo.”
“Meow!”
“Yes, I’m home.”
“Meow. Meow!”
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。
By the time a month passed, we’d settled into a routine.
The word “love” seemed too big for Bo—until the day I came home and collapsed into bed, weeping.
