In 1975, a San Diego homemaker named Marjorie Rice came across a column in Scientific American about
tiling（瓷砖）. There is a problem which has interested mathematicians since ancient Greek times. After Rice's
chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. "I thought
she was just drawing casually（随意）," her daughter Kathy said. But Rice who took only one year of math in
high school, was actually discovering never-before-seen patterns.
Born in Florida, she loved learning and particularly her brief exposure to math, but tight budget and social
culture prevented her family from even considering that she might attend college. "For Rice, math was a pleasure,"
her son David once said.
Rice gave one of her sons a subscription to Scientific American partly because she could read it carefully
公众号《全元高考》while the children were at school. When she read Gardner's column about tiling as she later recalled in an
interview: "I thought it must be wonderful that someone could discover these beautiful patterns which no one had
seen before." She also wrote in an essay, "My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every
detail of it. Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months
discovered a new type."
Astonished and delighted, she sent her work to Gardner, who sent it to Doris, a tiling expert at Moravian
College. Doris confirmed that Rice's finding was correct.
Later, Rice declined to lecture on her discoveries, citing shyness, but at Doris's invitation, she attended a
university mathematics meeting, where she was introduced to the audience. Rice still said nothing of her
achievements to her children, but they eventually found out as the awards mounted.
24. Why did Rice often draw shapes in the kitchen?
A. To become a mathematician. B. To explore the secret of tiling.
C. To fill her leisure time. D. To show her passion for drawing.
25. What can we learn about Rice from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. She longed to start a column. B. She was rejected from a college.
C. She was good at designing patterns. D. She succeeded in developing a system.
26. What is the text mainly about?
A. The magic of math. B. The efforts of Rice.
C. The humility of Rice. D. The patterns of tiling.
27. What can we learn from the Rice's experience?
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Practice makes perfect.

Researchers have long known that the brain links kinds of new facts, related or not, when they are learned
about the same time. For the first time, scientists have recorded routes in the brain of that kind of contextual
memory, the frequent change of thoughts and emotions that surrounds every piece of newly learned information.
The recordings, taken from the brains of people awaiting surgery for epilepsy（癫痫）, suggest that new
memories of even abstract facts are encoded（编码） in a brain-cell order that also contains information about
what else was happening during and just before the memory was formed.
In the new study, doctors from the University of Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt University took recordings from
a small piece of metal implanted in the brains of 69 people with severe epilepsy. The implants allow doctors to
pinpoint the location of the flash floods of brain activity that cause epileptic happening. The patients performed a
simple memory task. They watched a series of nouns appear on a computer screen, and after a brief disturbance
recalled as many of the words as they could, in any order. Repeated trials, with different lists of words, showed a
predictable effect: The participants tended to remember the words in groups, beginning with one and recalling those
that were just before or after.
This pattern, which scientists call the contiguity effect, is similar to what often happens in the card game
concentration, in which players try to identify pairs in a row of cards lying face-down. Pairs overturned close are
often remembered together. The way the process works, the researchers say, is something like reconstructing a
公众号《全元高考》night's activities after a hangover: remembering a fact (a broken table) recalls a scene (dancing), which in turn
brings to mind more facts, like the other people who were there.
Sure enough, the people in the study whose neural（神经） updating signals were strongest showed the most
striking pattern of remembering words in groups. "When you activate one memory, you are reactivating a little bit
of what was happening around the time the memory was formed, and this process is what gives you that feeling of
time travel," said Dr Michael J. Kahana.
28. What does "contextual memory" refer to according to the text?
A. Memories about the past facts.
B. Unrelated facts linked together.
C. Ideas and feelings around new facts.
D. New facts encoded into brain alone.
29. What is the purpose of studying patients with epilepsy?
A. To track the brain activity of contextual memory.
B. To find the brain activity causing epilepsy.
C. To show the formation of memory.
D. To test the new cure for epilepsy.
30. What do the underlined words "contiguity" mean in paragraph 4?
A. Implication. B. Similarity. C. Contrast. D. Neighborhood.
31. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The feature of the research method. B. The category of the research subjects.
C. A brief summary of the research process. D. A further explanation of the research results.
D
Nowadays, the world is slowly becoming a high-tech society and we are now surrounded by technology.
Facebook and Twitter are innovative tools; text messaging is still a somewhat existing phenomenon and even e-
mail is only a flashing spot on the screen when compared with our long history of snail mail. Now we adopt these
tools to the point of essentialness, and only rarely consider how we are more fundamentally affected by them.
Social media, texting and e-mail all make it much easier to communicate, gather and pass information, but
they also present some dangers. By removing any real human engagement, they enable us to develop our abnormal
self-love without the risk of disapproval or criticism. To use a theatrical metaphor（隐喻）, these new forms of
communication provide a stage on which we can each create our own characters, hidden behind a fourth wall of
tweets, status updates and texts. This unreal state of unconcern can become addictive as we separate ourselves a
safe distance from the cruelty of our fleshly lives, where we are imperfect, powerless and insignificant. In essence,
we have been provided not only the means to be more free, but also to become new, to create and project a more
perfect self to the world. As we become more reliant on these tools, they become more a part of our daily routine,
and so we become more restricted in this fantasy.
So it is that we live in a cold era, where names and faces represent two different levels of closeness, where
working relationships occur only through the magic of email and where love can start or end by text message. An
environment such as this reduces interpersonal relationships to mere digital exchanges.
Would a celebrity have been so daring to do something dishonorable if he had had to do it in person?
公众号《全元高考》Doubtful. It seems he might have been lost in a fantasy world that ultimately convinced himself into believing the
digital self could obey different rules and regulations, as if he could continually push the limits of what's acceptable
without facing the consequences of "real life."
32. What can we know about new communication tools?
A. Destroying our life totally. B. Posing more dangers than good.
C. Helping us to hide our faults. D. Replacing traditional letters.
33. What is the potential threat caused by the novel communication tools?
A. Sheltering us from virtual life. B. Removing face-to-face interaction.
C. Leading to false mental perception. D. Making us rely more on hi-tech media.
34. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Technologies have changed our relationships.
B. The digital world is a recipe for pushing limits.
C. Love can be better conveyed by text message.
D. The digital self need not take responsibility.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Addiction to the Virtual World B. Cost of Falling into Digital Life
C. Interpersonal Skills on the Net D. The Future of Social Media
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。
One of my bad habits is saying "busy" when people ask me how I'm doing. Sometimes it's because I actually
am busy, but other times it's because that's what I think I'm supposed to say. That's what important or promoted
people say. 36 So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time?
In 2016, researchers conducted a study to figure it out. 37 And interestingly, these status attributions
（归属） are heavily influenced by our own beliefs. In other words, the more we believe that one has the
opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who always skip leisure and
work are of higher standing.
That's why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there's a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in
meetings, emails, and stress, then they're probably a big deal. 38 According to a recent study, one in five
highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.
39 It sounds self-righteous （自以为是） and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like "I have limited
access to email" and "I'll respond as soon as I get back" sound like you're being held against your will from
working as opposed to making the most of your time off.
That's why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next
long weekend or trip. 40 Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and
talking about how busy they are, and so do leaders.
A. Actually, leading a busy life can be avoidable.
B. But working long hours doesn't drive better results.
C. A person of high status feels tired when promoted.
D. Busy people are found to be those with high social rank.
公众号《全元高考》E. You can share you won't be checking the mailbox till you return.
F. This culture of busyness is making it hard to find work-life balance.
G. Personally, I'm going to stop saying "busy" when people ask me how I am.

Last year, my friend, Kydee Williams, and I started a non-profit project because we wanted to do charity work
differently. Thus, The Pop-Up Care Shop was 41 .
TPUCS is a traveling shop of 42 donated goods for people in need. During the holidays, we 43

with hope as well as bring a little holiday cheer to our local communities. 45 any project or movement
wasn't easy. Brainstorming and coming up with cool ideas was the 46 part, but actually bringing those
ideas to life can seem almost 47 at times. However, there were lessons about 48 that we didn't
fully realize until we started this journey.
From our experience, we learned smaller shelters, especially those in less-commercialized areas were often
49 when it came to getting community support. Actually, they were typically more 50 to new and
creative ideas and would greatly welcome 51 who offered help. Under our inspiration, many 52
people devoted themselves to non-profit work. Many shelters are understaffed and the staff overworked. Working
directly with them helped us 53 the specific needs of the shelter.
While material things like food, clothes, money, and shelter can help people survive, what 54 helps
people live is the intangible（无形） necessities like love, presence, patience. Even though we can't help every
single person in the world, we can 55 a world of difference for at least one person.

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。
It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination
— the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he
had to have one. He's been walking the neighbor's dog ever since then to earn money to realize his little dream. He
was so excited and hardly noticing the world around him. Maybe that's why he tripped over the legs of a homeless
woman, who was sitting on the sidewalk, her back against the wall. He murmured（低语） "sorry" and moved on
to his destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron
Man, and many more— all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
"You like these, true believer?"
公众号《全元高考》Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. "Y-yes ... Yes,
they're awesome!" answered Tommy. "They're strong and fast and help other people a lot..." the boy looked at
figurines in admiration. "I wish I could be a superhero too."
"Then become one!" said the old man.
"How?" Tommy asked in surprise. "I don't have any superpowers."
"And why would you need them?" the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted
（蹲下） and put his hands on Tommy's arms. "Did you know, that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled
husband? She's been working hard and taking care of him for years. I've never heard a word of complaint from her.
And this person—" he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. "He's a firefighter; he's saved countless
lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be."
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. "You don't need a superpower to be a hero for someone
else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart."
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time.

Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. Finally, he raised his head. "So I am
supposed to ..." he stopped mid-sentence when he realized that he was alone. He turned his head left and right, but
the old man was nowhere to be seen. Tommy sighed heavily —he already had an idea of what he should do. He
looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. "Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please," he
said.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the
woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. "Thank you," she whispered. Tommy
bowed his head, turned around and went back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run.
Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. When he finally stopped, he was breathing heavily,
but he didn't feel tired. He smiled happily—it was a wonderful feeling. And nothing could stop it.

W: How is your broken leg after the operation?
M: Oh, Dr. Smith, it's recovering well. Yesterday I managed to get to the school and go back. The medicine you
gave me really works.
W: That's not bad. It's only a month since the accident on the field.
(Text 2)
M: Jenny, after you finish those reports, can you start arranging a meeting and ordering some paper for the
company?
W: OK, no problem. I should be able to get started in a couple of hours.
(Text 3)
公众号《全元高考》M: Have you seen this author's latest best-seller?
W: I've just finished it.
M: Oh, what do you think of it?
W: It was a great improvement over the last one.
(Text 4)
W: I'm sorry. When did you see her last?
M: We walked into the grocery store together. Then I followed someone thought was her. But when I caught up
with her, I realized she wasn't my mother.
W: Don't worry. I'll make an announcement to call her to the front desk.
(Text 5)
M: Hi, I'd like to make a toy donation.
W: Oh, great! Thanks. Wow, these are great toy cars!
M: Yeah, they were my son's. There are 30 of them in that bag. They cost £5 each, if you buy them new!
(Text 6)
W: Why are you going to the top floor of the science building with a basketball and a volleyball, Leonardo? That
looks very strange.
M: We have to recreate Galileo's famous study for physics class. Alessandro is standing at the bottom with a watch
waiting for me to drop them.
W: Cool! Which one do you think will hit the ground first?
M: Don't you know? Galileo proved that they'll hit the ground at the same time, even though the basketball is
heavier. I did it once, but the watch fell, so I have to do it again.
(Text 7)
W: Have you seen my garden yet? It's my first time growing one and, so far, it's going really well. I didn't have any
time before, but I decided it was time to develop a new hobby.
M: That sounds interesting. What are you growing?
W: Mostly fruits and some grains because I don't like eating most vegetables. I know vegetables and grains are
healthier than fruits but they definitely don't taste as good.
M: That's true! So, what are you doing right now?
W: I'm just watering the strawberry plants and the orange tree. I also wanted to grow a pear tree, but the dry climate
here is not right for it.
M: That sounds really cool.
W: Maybe you can have a try in your garden as well.
M: I'll consider it.
(Text 8)
W: Please put your name there. Thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed your vehicle during your trip.
M: I did. I parked it right there outside the window, by the sign in your parking lot.
W: We have already inspected it. It looks good, with no damage or any other issues. Please wait here while I get
your initial security payment.

still 20 minutes away, so take your time. We'll be here for a while.
公众号《全元高考》W: All right. We have a question, sir. Would you be OK with receiving your money in Canadian dollars?
M: Actually, we are flying to Australia before going back to America. Can you do Australian dollars?
W: Unfortunately not, but I'm sure you can change money at the airport.

M: I know it has been hard hiking through this river valley in the mud and the rain, but it is worth it to see a view
like that, isn't it?
W: Yeah, it, s amazing! The sun has finally come out. It lights up the entire valley in all sorts of shades of green.
That waterfall is the most unique one that I've ever seen until now.
M: Beautiful, isn't it? The water is surrounded by a rainbow! There's not blue water in sight!
W: Just red, yellow and orange! It looks like the colors are dancing as the water pours down.
M: Shall we sit down here? I've packed us an amazing lunch. We can have a bite to eat and enjoy that beautiful
view.
W: Great idea. Wow! Egg sandwiches on brown bread! I love those!
M: I know you do. I've been working with you long enough to know what your favorite sandwiches are! After all,
we have lunch together every weekday.
W: Right, before we eat, let's take a picture. Come on, stand close to me with the waterfall in the background…
smile…Here we go!
M: Can we eat now? I'm starving. We need our strength to walk back to the town yet!
W: Oh yes! I forgot about that!

Good morning, all of my fellow Barlow High School students! It's Jenny back again with the daily
announcements. Today, we have an emergency fire preparation drill starting in just two hours. The bell will ring at
9:55 a. m., which means you'll have five minutes to get out of the classrooms, library, or cafeteria and into the
parking lot in front of the school. The top two classes that organize the most quickly and neatly will be awarded our
safety prize. At 2:00 p. m., before the end of the school day, Headmaster Jones will announce the winners of the
recent charity competition. Over 100 students, including myself, have participated in gathering donations and
funding from people and businesses in the community to help our school. We've all seen this school suffer from a
lack of funding during the recent economic crash. But thanks to an admirable group of student body members, we'll
start to turn that problem around. The top ten students to bring in funding for the school will each receive a prize for
their contribution, but this award will be kept a surprise until 2:00 p. m. For now, that's all from me. The next
speaker is your headmaster with important information on this week's storm and our homecoming football game.
Go Eagles!
