【原文】W: So, I’ve been thinking, this summer holiday, I’d like to try renting a motorhome and exploring a bit
more.
M: A motorhome? You mean to spend the summer living in a car?
W: Yes, a motorhome. And no, it’s nothing like living in a car. These are proper vehicles with full size beds to sleep
in. Some even have kitchens. This way, we wouldn’t have to be locked into one place during our holiday. We’d be
able to visit more places and travel at our own pace. We’d probably save a lot of money as well.
M: I think my grandfather had a vehicle like that. It doesn’t sound that attractive to me.
W: Today’s motorhomes are completely different. These days, they’re equipped with all the modern comforts. I’ve
seen quite a few with solar panels that provide electricity when you’re stopped. This way, you can still use your
computer or charge your phone. And most even have Wi-Fi, so if the weather’s not great, you could stream videos.
M: I’m warming up to the idea. Keep talking.
W: Loads of people are committing to this trend full time. Check it out online. Lots of people stream videos of their
alternative lifestyles and actually earn a salary. Imagine having that kind of freedom to go anywhere you want and
work from anywhere in the world.
M: Okay, we can consider it. As long as the basic needs like toilet and showers are covered, I’m definitely in. Do
you think there will be enough room for my mountain bike? What about food delivery? Will we be able to order to
the motorhome? Will there be enough space for the dog? We wouldn’t want to leave him behind.
W: Slow down.Glad you’re excited about it. Let’s start by looking at what’s available first.
11.According to the woman, what benefit does travelling in a motorhome bring?
12.Which of the following is a feature of today’s motorhomes?
13.According to the woman, how do lots of people earn a salary with their motorhomes?
14.What is the man’s attitude towards a motorhome at the end of the conversation?

D．Establishing rules.
16．A．To push him or her to clean it next time.B．To prevent friction.

17．A．Doing time machine experiments is unsafe.
B．Nobody can bear the loud sound at late night.
C．Communication is key to living together in peace.
D．It is better to keep awkward experiences as a secret.
【答案】15．D 16．D 17．C
【原文】Today we’re going to talk about how to be or have a roommate. Here are three tips. Tip 1:Set rules early
on, right before you start to live under one roof. Who buys garbage bags? Who takes out the rubbish from the
kitchen and the bathroom? Are there Phone zones? Tip 2:Be generous. Listen, people is people, and when two
people live in a closed space, there’s going to be some friction. So every once in a while, do things that aren’t
expected of you. For example, maybe clean the bathroom for your roommate when he or she is having a stressful
time at school or work. This isn’t about being a pushover. It’s about giving the other person a bit of the same grace
that you’d like him or her to give to you. Tip 3:Keep the lines of communication open. You may assume that your
roommate is okay with all the late night explosions coming from your room because of your time machine
experiments, but it never hurts to tell him or her beforehand. It might be an awkward conversation, but here’s an
adulthood secret: awkwardness and unsafety are often the price of admission to make things more awesome.
15.What docs the speaker suggest doing before people start to have a roommate?
16.Why does the speaker suggest your cleaning the bathroom for your roommate under pressure?
17.What can we learn from Tip 3?
Questions 18 through 20 are bused on the following conversation.
18．A．Why we need to write down our plans.
B．Why some tasks or responsibilities matter.
C．Why it is necessary to spare time for handwriting.
D．Why we should let go of some unimportant things.
19．A．Be more motivated at work.
B．Reconsider the value of a task.
C．Fulfill our commitment to the community.
D．Raise our awareness of social responsibility.
20．A．Giving them up.
B．Assigning them to others.
C．Typing them down.
D．Adding to their meaningfulness.
【答案】18．A 19．B 20．A
【原文】I’m always asked this question: in the digital age, why is it necessary to make plans by writing them
down by hand? Well, even though it’s much easier and faster to type, writing enables us to slow down, which helps
us pause before we proceed. It gives us just enough time to ask a really important question: “ Is this task or
responsibility even worth the effort it will take to write down?” If the answer is yes, then this choice provides with
an opportunity to recommit to your task or responsibility. This means that you have to think about why it’s
important and remains meaningful, and that awareness can be really motivating. On the other hand, if the answer is
no, which means something is not important enough for the time it takes to write down, then chances are ,it’s not
adding a lot of value to your life. It’s probably just a distraction and you can let it go.
18.What is the speaker mainly talking about?
19.According to the speaker, what does the pause before we proceed enable us to do?
20.What does the speaker suggest doing with the tasks not worth writing down?

（新题材）The benefits of container gardening
Do you love gardening, but you don’t have a yard? If that’s the case, 21 (take) container gardening
into consideration. This method involves 22 (grow) plants in pots and containers rather than in the
ground. Container gardening is a great way to grow flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruit trees and more. There are many
advantages to this gardening method.
To begin with, you don’t need much space. A roof or any other outdoor area that receives direct sunlight will
work. In fact, a sunny, indoor kitchen windowsill(窗沿) is perfect for a few small plants, 23 gives you
easy access to herbs and vegetables as you prepare meals. The key is to choose a spot that receives a good deal of
sunlight.
Unless they’re too big or heavy, containers are portable. This allows you to move your plants inside if
necessary. Or you can move your plants into the shade 24 extremely hot days. Containers allow you to
place your plants 25 they’ll grow best.
With containers, you’re almost certain 26 (fill) them with productive soil. Using a good bag of
potting soil that contains the necessary nutrients for your plants is best. Here’s an important tip: Once 27
(stuff), large containers can get heavy. Therefore, it’s best to put them at a proper place before filling them.
One of the greatest benefits of container gardening is that little or no weeding 28 (require). For
plants in the ground, weeding is sometimes a daily or weekly requirement.
People also love the fact that almost 29 can be used as a container. You don’t need expensive pots
for containers. Wooden boxes, cans, tea kettles, old shoes and more will work. There’s no end to the number of
items that can be used. Just be sure to drill holes in the bottom of your containers for proper water discharge.
30 shows off your green fingers and your creativity is a container garden.

27．考查状语从句的省略。句意：一旦装满，大容器就会变得很重。本句为Once 引导状语从句的省略，
还原后为：Once large containers are stuffed，省略了主语和be 动词，用过去分词表被动。故填stuffed。
28．考查时态和语态。句意：一个最大的好处是，几乎不需要除草。空格处在句子中作谓语，陈述客观事
实，为一般现在时，且little or no weeding 与require 为被动关系。故填is required。

A hacker’s life
Have you ever locked yourself out of your home and had to try to break in? First, you get a sense of 31
in succeeding. But then comes the worrying realization that if you can break into your own place as a(n) 32
, a professional could do so five times faster. So you look at the weak point in your security and fix it. Well, that’s
more or less how the DefCon hackers conference works.
Every year passionate hackers meet at DefCon in Las Vegas to 33 their knowledge and
capabilities. Mention the word ‘hacker’ and many of us 34 a seventeen-year-old geek (怪人) sitting in
their bedroom, illegally hacking into the US’s defence secrets in the Pentagon ( 五角大楼). Or we just think
‘criminals’. But that is actually a misrepresentation of what most hackers do.
The activities and experiments that take place at DefCon have an enormous impact on our daily lives. These
are people who love the challenge of finding security gaps: computer 35 who can’t break the habit. They
look with great care at all kinds of systems, from the Internet to mobile communications to 36 door
locks. And then they try to hack them. In doing so, they are doing all of us a great service, because they pass on
their findings to the industries that design these systems, which are then able to 37 the security holes.
A typical example of this is when I attended a presentation on electronic door locks. Ironically, one of the
most secure locks they demonstrated was a 4,000-year-old Egyptian lock. But when it came to more modern
devices, the presenters revealed 38 weaknesses in several brands of electro-mechanical locks. A bio-lock
that uses a fingerprint scan for entry was 39 , easily, by a paper clip. (Unfortunately, although all the
manufacturers of the insecure locks were 40 not all of them responded.)
【答案】
31．B 32．I 33．A 34．K 35．H 36．D 37．C 38．F 39．E 40．J

hacking into the US’s defence secrets in the Pentagon (五角大楼)”可知，此处表示提到黑客时许多人想象的场

III.Reading Comprehension (共45 分。 41-45 每题1 分；56-70 每题2 分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D.
Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
（社会热点）Administrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, are trying to harmonize
tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard the murals (壁画), through innovative measures.
Sandstorms, rainfall and tourist visits constitute the most severe 41 to the UNESCO World Heritage
Site, said Wang Xiaowei, director of the Dunhuang Grottoes Monitoring Center at the Dunhuang Academy. Since
the Mogao Caves opened to the public in 1979, the number of visitors has been 42 at an average annual rate
of around 20 percent, reaching 2.15 million in 2019. “If you enter the caves during the 43 tourism months
of July, August and September, you’ll find it hard to breathe,” Wang said. The carbon dioxide and moisture (潮气)
breathed out by visitors increase inside the caves and cause damage to the murals, Wang said.
To preserve the caves, the duration of visits is 44 and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms.
To ensure visitors aren’t 45 when restrictions are in place, the center provides a digital exhibition, he said.
Currently, the center is being 46 to accommodate an additional 3,000 visitors on top of the existing capacity
of 6,000.
The Dunhuang Academy began 47 recording and storing images of murals and painted sculptures
over 30 years ago. The digitization project has successfully 48 over 200 caves, with a dedicated team of
110 experts currently undertaking the work. “Digital technology not only serves cultural tourism but also 49
a historical record for future generations,” said Ding Xiaosheng, deputy director of the Institute of Cultural
Heritage Digitization at the academy. Digitization also brings the wonders of the Mogao Caves to a 50
audience, according to Su Bomin, head of the Dunhuang Academy. “The Mogao Caves are 51 , and
transporting them is impossible,” Su said. “However, with digitization, we can perfectly copy Dunhuang art exactly
and show it worldwide, introducing Eastern culture to the world.”
In 2016, the Digital Dunhuang went live, sharing high-definition images and 52 tours of the most
beautiful 30 caves globally. Currently, visitors from 78 countries have 53 the murals, totaling over 16.8
million visits.
Su said Dunhuang can 54 diverse cultural exchanges through its cultural relics (遗迹). “By
digitizing these relics, we enable people worldwide to understand Dunhuang’s culture, thereby gaining a deeper
appreciation for China’s historical 55 to diverse cultural exchanges — that is, an idea of inclusivity, mutual
learning and a shared future,” he said.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
Soap bubbles (泡泡) are like little floating wonders. They’re light, delicate, and full of surprises. And, of
course, they shine with beautiful colours! But if you look closely, you’ll notice something odd — bubbles show
pink, green, yellow, and sometimes blue, but where are the other colours? Why don’t we see bright red, deep
purple, or warm orange floating in the air?
The secret behind a bubble’s colours lies in its thin film. The outer surface reflects light, and so does the
inner surface. Light moves like a wave in this situation. Just like ripples (涟漪) on a pond, the light reflected from
the inside travels a bit farther and may or may not match up with the light reflected from the outside. If the waves
strengthen each other, the colour of that wavelength becomes visible.
So far, so good — this process can create many colours. But where’s my red bubble?
The light waves spreading from the bubble contain all the colours of the rainbow. However, we don’t see
them separately because the soap film’s thickness often produces a mix of colours. Interestingly, the thickness that
enhances red also enhances violet (紫色). But instead of seeing both, we only see pink.
The violet wave ripples four times before exiting, while the red wave ripples three times. Yet, by the time
they leave the bubble, they meet. Pink seems like a single colour, but it doesn’t actually exist in the rainbow — our
brains create it by mixing red and violet.
If the bubble’s surface becomes slightly thinner, the red and violet waves cancel each other out, leaving only
green, which is a real rainbow colour. As the film gets even thinner, red and green appear together (both rippling
about twice), but blue disappears, so we see yellow instead.
We only see colours when the soap film is very thin — just one or two light wavelengths thick. This means
there are only a few possible colour combinations, and red alone isn’t one of them. So, no red bubbles for me.
It might be frustrating to hear, “That’s just how it is,” but in this case, I don’t mind. Every soap bubble
follows the same rules, no matter how or where it’s made. It’s actually comforting to see the universe working in
such a consistent way. Pink and green bubbles are simply nature’s design.
56．Light reflected from the outer and inner layers of a bubble interacts by ______.
A．combining into stronger light
B．either adding together or reducing each other
C．absorbing each other to make a single colour
D．passing through the bubble without changing
57．Why do we never see a perfectly red soap bubble?
A．Red light always mixes with other colours.
B．Red is too weak to be seen on a bubble’s surface.
C．The bubble’s surface absorbs red light completely.
D．The soap in the bubble prevents red light from reflecting.
58．What point does the writer make in the last paragraph?
A．It’s nice that the natural world is filled with uncertainties.
B．It’s good that the natural world follows clear scientific rules.
C．It’s sad that we do nothing to change the colours of soap bubbles.
D．It is frustrating to see the soap bubbles working in a consistent way.
59．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Why light is so appealing.
B．How soap bubbles are made.
C．How light creates wonders in nature.
D．Why some colours don’t appear in soap bubbles.
【答案】56．B 57．A 58．B 59．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是肥皂泡呈现颜色的原理，以及为什么我们看不到某些颜色（如红
色）的肥皂泡。
56．细节理解题。根据第二段“Just like ripples on a pond, the light reflected from the inside travels a bit farther
and may or may not match up with the light reflected from the outside. If the waves strengthen each other, the
colour of that wavelength becomes visible. (就像池塘里的涟漪一样，从内部反射出来的光线会多走一段距离，
可能与从外部反射出来的光线相遇，也可能不相遇。如果这两股波浪相互增强，那么那个波长的颜色就会
变得可见。)”可知，从气泡的外层和内层反射的光通过加或减相互作用。故选B。
57．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, we don’t see them separately because the soap film’s thickness often
produces a mix of colours. Interestingly, the thickness that enhances red also enhances violet. But instead of seeing
both, we only see pink. (然而，我们不能单独看到它们，因为肥皂膜的厚度经常会产生混合的颜色。有趣的
是，增强红色的厚度也增强了紫色。但我们看不到两者，只看到粉红色。)”可知，我们从来没有看到一个
完美的红色肥皂泡是因为红光总是和其他颜色混在一起。故选A。
58．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Every soap bubble follows the same rules, no matter how or where it’s made.
It’s actually comforting to see the universe working in such a consistent way. Pink and green bubbles are simply
nature’s design. (每个肥皂泡都遵循同样的规则，不管它是在哪里或如何制造的。实际上，看到宇宙以如此
一致的方式运行是令人欣慰的。粉色和绿色泡泡是大自然的设计。)”可知，作者在最后一段提出的观点是
自然界遵循明确的科学规则是件好事。故选B。
59．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“But if you look closely, you’ll notice something odd — bubbles
show pink, green, yellow, and sometimes blue, but where are the other colours? Why don’t we see bright red, deep
purple, or warm orange floating in the air? (但如果你仔细观察，你会发现一些奇怪的事情——气泡显示粉红
色、绿色、黄色，有时是蓝色，但其他颜色在哪里？为什么我们看不到鲜红色、深紫色或暖橙色在空中飘
浮？)”可知，本文主要讲的是肥皂泡呈现颜色的原理，以及为什么我们看不到某些颜色（如红色）的肥皂
泡，因此D 选项“Why some colours don’t appear in soap bubbles. (为什么有些颜色不出现在肥皂泡里。)”是
文章的主旨。故选D。
B
Li Lin, a senior high 3 student, is preparing an argumentative essay on sea exploration. He has collected
some texts for reference, two of which are shown below for his writing.
Text 1Exploring the sea usually means exploiting it, which has caused numerous problems and will
continue to cause more.
More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons (加仑) of
oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also harmful, killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in
our tap water. Mining for resources is damaging, especially in the Arctic. Climate change has led to less ice, which
means we can look for more fossil fuels(化石燃料) further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more, thus
worsening this negative cycle. Whales and dolphins are also overfished for their meat or for research. Although this
was banned in 1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy.
The sea stretches out immeasurably but it is more sensitive than we think. If we don’t protect it, future
generations will not forgive us.
Text 2To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents
may be concerned, but sea exploration matters to the future.
Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species will
improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new medicines, as well as new sources
of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may provide hints of events such as earthquakes. The population of
the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of
resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. The related environmental risks
should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we can have more options for
managing this balance.
60．Which of the following can be inferred from the texts?
A．Plastic pollution has directly contributed to the melting of Arctic ice.
B．Logging new species could lead to advancements in medicine and food production.
C．Overfishing has been completely stopped due to international bans introduced in 1982.
D．The population growth worldwide has reduced the need for deep-sea resources.
61．Before writing, Li Lin puts forward some questions. Which question CAN NOT Li Lin find the answer to
from the texts?
A．What’s the purpose of sea exploration?
B．How does sea exploration cause damage to the sea?
C．What benefits can sea exploration bring to other research fields?
D．What can we do to balance environmental protection and sea exploration?
62．If Li Lin is determined to write an essay based on opinions from both texts, which of the following will most
probably be the central theme of his essay?
A．Ways to improve the efficiency of sea development.
B．Technological breakthroughs in sea exploration.
C．Balance between the impact of sea exploration and its benefits.
D．Appeal to protect the sea from unsustainable exploration.
【答案】60．B 61．D 62．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕海洋探索的利弊进行了讨论，提出了正反两方的观点。文本1 主要
阐述了海洋探索可能带来的问题，如污染、资源破坏等，并强调了保护海洋的重要性。文本2 则强调了海
洋探索对于了解地球、管理资源以及寻找新资源的重要性，并提出了在环境风险与经济需求之间寻求平衡
的观点。
60．推理判断题。根据文章文本2 中的“It may enable us to discover new medicines, as well as new sources of
food and energy.(这可能使我们能够发现新的药物，以及新的食物和能源来源。)”可知，记录新物种可能有
助于我们发现新药以及新的食物和能源来源，因此可以推断出记录新物种可能推动医学和食品生产的发展。
故选B。
61．细节理解题。根据文章文本1 中“
More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon
spilled over 200 million gallons (加仑) of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also harmful, killing many
birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap water. Mining for resources is damaging, especially in the Arctic.

石燃料)”文章文本2 中的“Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources better.
Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new

大量的资源，不仅有石油和天然气，还有宝贵的矿物。相关的环境风险应与经济需求相平衡。希望随着技
术的进步，我们可以有更多的选择来管理这种平衡。)”可知，文本虽然提到了海洋探索可能带来的环境问
题，海洋探索的目的以及探索海洋的益处，但并未明确提出如何平衡这两者。由此可知，选项D“What can
we do to balance environmental protection and sea exploration?( 我们如何平衡环境保护和海洋探索？)”这个问
题不能从文本中找到直接答案。故选D。
62．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文本1 主要阐述了海洋探索可能带来的问题，如污染、资源破坏等，
并强调了保护海洋的重要性。文本2 则强调了海洋探索对于了解地球、管理资源以及寻找新资源的重要性，
并提出了在环境风险与经济需求之间寻求平衡的观点。因此，平衡这两方面的关系成为了文本的核心主题。
由此可知，如果李琳决定根据两篇文本中的观点写一篇文章，那么文章的中心主题最有可能是选项
C“Balance between the impact of sea exploration and its benefits. (海洋探索的影响与其带来的利益之间的平
衡)”。故选C。
C
The phrase “coin toss” is a classic equivalent to randomness. But since at least the 18th century,
mathematicians have suspected that even fair coins tend to land on one side slightly more often than the other.
Proving this tiny bias (偏见), however, would require hundreds of thousands of carefully recorded coin tosses,
making laboratory tests a nightmare.
František Bartoš, currently a Ph.D．candidate at the University of Amsterdam, became fascinated by this
challenge four years ago. He couldn’t round up enough volunteers to investigate it at first. “Nobody was stupid
enough to spend a couple of weekends tossing coins,” he says. But after he began his Ph.D．studies, he tried again,
recruiting 47 volunteers (many of them friends and fellow students) from six countries. Multiple weekends of coin
tossing later, the team had performed 350,757 tosses, breaking the previous record of 40,000.
The tossed coins, according to previous findings, landed with the same side facing upward as before the toss
50.8 percent of the time. The large number of throws allows statisticians to conclude that the nearly one percent
bias isn’t a fluke. “We can be quite sure there is a bias in coin tosses after this data set,” Bartoš says.
The leading theory explaining the subtle advantage comes from a 2007 physics study by statistician Persi
Diaconis and his colleagues, whose calculations predicted a same-side bias of 51 percent. From the moment a coin
is launched into the air, its entire path in the air — including whether it lands on heads or tails — can be calculated
by the laws of mechanics. The researchers determined that coins in the air barely turn around their symmetrical
axis (对称轴); instead they tend to move off-center unsteadily, which causes them to spend a little more time in the
air with their initial “up” side on top.
For day-to-day decisions, coin tosses are as good as random because a one percent bias isn’t perceptible with
just a few coin tosses, says another statistician who wasn’t involved in the new research. Still, the study’s
conclusions should eliminate any doubt that still exists regarding the coin toss’s slim bias.
It isn’t difficult to prevent this bias from influencing your coin-toss matches; simply concealing the coin’s
starting position before tossing it should do the trick. Alternatively, you can do away with tossing altogether by
shaking the coin between your palms. But if your friends are unaware of the tiny bias, you may as well benefit from
your slight advantage. After all, 51 percent odds beat a lot.
63．Why was it difficult to prove the tiny bias in coin tosses?
A．Because it required a large number of trials and loads of tests.
B．Because few scientists and researchers were interested in this topic.
C．Because scientists lacked the ability and technique to conduct this study.
D．Because previous researches failed many times and scientists lost confidence.
64．The meaning of the underlined word fluke in paragraph 3 most probably refers to something that ______.
A．happens by accident
B．can be planned in advance
C．occurs under specific conditions
D．can be gained by practice
65．What can we imply from the last paragraph?
A．This one percent bias matters little in real life.
B．We should rely on this one percent bias to help us.
C．Though unnoticeable, we may still take advantage of this bias.
D．Relying on the one percent bias to win a coin-toss match is unfair.
66．What is the best title of this passage?
A．Risk-takers? Experts recommend coin-toss matches.
B．Luck or Maths? Here’re some tips on tossing coins.
C．Coin collectors? There’re stories behind each coin.
D．Heads or Tails? Research suggests it’s not 50-50.
【答案】63．A 64．A 65．C 66．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了掷硬币存在偏差，难以证明是因为它需要大量的试验和大量的
测试。文章介绍了关于掷硬币正反面概率的研究以及发现。
63．细节理解题。根据第一段“Proving this tiny bias (偏见), however, would require hundreds of thousands of
carefully recorded coin tosses, making laboratory tests a nightmare.(然而，要证明这种微小的偏差，需要数十万
次仔细记录的抛硬币，这使得实验室测试成为一场噩梦)”可知，很难证明抛硬币时的微小偏差因为它需要
大量的试验和大量的测试。故选A。
64．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The tossed coins, according to previous findings, landed with the same side
facing upward as before the toss 50.8 percent of the time.(根据之前的研究结果，被扔出的硬币落地时，50.8%
的情况下与抛硬币前的一面朝上)”以及后文““We can be quite sure there is a bias in coin tosses after this data
set,” Bartoš says.(巴尔托夫斯基说:“我们可以非常肯定，在这个数据集之后，投掷硬币是有偏见的。”)”可
知，之前的研究结果让统计学家认为近1%的偏差不是偶然发生的。故划线词意思是“偶然发生”。故选
A。
65．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It isn’t difficult to prevent this bias from influencing your coin-toss matches;
simply concealing the coin’s starting position before tossing it should do the trick. Alternatively, you can do away
with tossing altogether by shaking the coin between your palms. But if your friends are unaware of the tiny bias,
you may as well benefit from your slight advantage. After all, 51 percent odds beat a lot.(要防止这种偏差影响你

在手掌之间摇晃，这样就完全不用扔硬币了。但是，如果你的朋友没有意识到这种微小的偏差，你也可以
从你的微小优势中受益。毕竟，51%的赔率已经很大了)”可知，虽然不明显，但我们仍然可以利用这种偏
差。故选C。

计算出来。研究人员确定，硬币在空气中几乎不绕其对称轴转动；相反，他们倾向于不稳定地偏离中心，
这导致他们在空中花更多的时间，他们最初的“向上”的一面在上面)”结合文章主要说明了掷硬币存在偏
差，难以证明是因为它需要大量的试验和大量的测试。文章介绍了关于掷硬币正反面概率的研究以及发现。
可知，D 选项“正面还是反面？研究表明，这并不是五五开”最符合文章标题。故选D。
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used
once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
Little Miss Mozart
An 11-year-old British composer earned comparisons with Mozart after her opera opened in Vienna to
enthusiastic applause. Alma Deutscher, who lived in Surrey with her parents, was already world-famous as a
violinist and pianist before her first full-length opera made its first performance on the Austrian stage.
67 Cinderella was a composer whom Deutscher described as “a bit like me”. Deutscher said much of
the musical inspiration behind Cinderella and other compositions came when her mind was elsewhere. During an
interview with NBC’s Today show, she explained that trying to create beautiful melodies on demand often resulted
in a blank mind. 68
The opera is two and a half hours long with the musical score running to 237 pages. 69 Deutscher
said the prince having to ask whose foot would fit the slipper didn’t make much sense. Lots of people might have
the same sized foot, but only one person could have written that melody.
Conductor Simon Rattle declared he was “absolutely bowled over” when he first saw her perform, but it was
Stephen Fry who first predicted that Deutscher could be this generation’s Mozart, after watching a video of her
performing online. 70 She said, “I love Mozart very much. He’s probably my favourite composer, but I
don’t really like it when people call me ‘Little Miss Mozart’ because I don’t like being called ‘little’. I’m very big,
and secondly, if I just wrote everything Mozart wrote again it would be boring. ”
A．However, it is not a comparison that the 11-year-old is particularly keen on.
B．Interestingly, it was often during unexpected moments that a beautiful melody suddenly came to her.
C．Deutscher’s most ambitious work has enabled the audience to see her talent.
D．Instead of the glass slipper of the fairytale, the prince looks for a lost melody he cannot quite remember.
E．The work reinvented the Cinderella fairytale to be set in an opera house ruled by a mean stepmother.
F．She never got nervous on stage, as she was just happy that people wanted to listen to her music.
【答案】67．E 68．B 69．D 70．A
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了一位11 岁的英国作曲家阿尔玛·多伊彻因为其音乐天赋被人称为
“小莫扎特”。
67．根据后文“Cinderella was a composer whom Deutscher described as “a bit like me”. Deutscher said much of
the musical inspiration behind Cinderella and other compositions came when her mind was elsewhere.(灰姑娘是一
位作曲家，多伊彻形容她“有点像我”。多伊彻说，《灰姑娘》和其他作品背后的很多音乐灵感都是在她
心不在焉的时候产生的)”可知，本句主要介绍这部作品的信息，结合后文提到了灰姑娘，可知作品与灰姑
娘有关。故E 选项“这部作品改编了灰姑娘的童话故事，故事发生在一个由刻薄的继母统治的歌剧院里”
符合语境，故选E。
68．根据上文“During an interview with NBC’s Today show, she explained that trying to create beautiful
melodies on demand often resulted in a blank mind.(在接受美国全国广播公司《今日秀》采访时，她解释说，
试图随心所欲地创作优美的旋律往往会导致大脑一片空白)”可知，上文提到她试图随心所欲地创作优美的
旋律，本句为本段最后一句，主要说明她是如何创作这些旋律的。故B 选项“有趣的是，她经常在意想不
到的时刻突然听到优美的旋律”符合语境，故选B。
69．根据上文“The opera is two and a half hours long with the musical score running to 237 pages.(歌剧全长两
个半小时，乐谱长达237 页)”以及后文“Deutscher said the prince having to ask whose foot would fit the slipper
didn’t make much sense. Lots of people might have the same sized foot, but only one person could have written
that melody.(多伊彻说，王子不得不问谁的脚适合这只鞋，这没有多大意义。很多人可能都有同样大小的脚，
但只有一个人能写出那样的旋律)”可知，后文提到王子询问鞋子的主人没有意义，推测本句是在说明王子
真正寻找的事物是旋律。故D 选项“王子找的不是童话里的水晶鞋，而是一段他不太记得的旋律”符合语
境，故选D。
70．根据上文“Conductor Simon Rattle declared he was “absolutely bowled over” when he first saw her perform,
but it was Stephen Fry who first predicted that Deutscher could be this generation’s Mozart, after watching a video
of her performing online.(指挥家西蒙·拉特尔宣称，当他第一次看到她的表演时，他“完全被震撼了”，但
斯蒂芬·弗莱在网上观看了她的表演视频后，第一个预测道，多伊彻可能成为这一代人的莫扎特)”以及后文
“She said, “I love Mozart very much. He’s probably my favourite composer, but I don’t really like it when people
call me ‘Little Miss Mozart’ because I don’t like being called ‘little’. I’m very big, and secondly, if I just wrote
everything Mozart wrote again it would be boring. ”(她说：“我非常喜欢莫扎特。他可能是我最喜欢的作曲家，
但我真的不喜欢别人叫我‘小莫扎特小姐’，因为我不喜欢别人叫我‘小’。我块头很大，其次，如果我
把莫扎特写的所有东西都重写一遍，那就太无聊了。”)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出这个孩子并不
喜欢别人把她和莫扎特进行比较。故A 选项“然而，这个11 岁的孩子并不是特别喜欢这样的比较”符合
语境，故选A。
IV.Summary Writing (共10 分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Tchaikovsky Cure for Worry
The 19th-century Russian composer Tchaikovsky was not a happy man. In his 5,365 letters to friends and
family, we find constant references to his sadness and anxiety. He had just one, temporary pain reliever for his
misery: “… a new idea awakens in me and begins to assume a definite form.”
Tchaikovsky’s experience is not abnormal. Modern research in neuroscience (神经科学) and psychology
reveals that active engagement in creative pursuits is an effective way to gain relief from negative emotions and see
the world in a much more positive way. At a time when mood disorders are exploding and less than a third of U.S.
adults believe that they are living up to their creative potential, this might be the simplest, easiest, and most natural
way for anyone to improve their life.
Neuroscientific research offers explanations of how creativity might lower negative emotion, and anxiety in
particular. In a fascinating 2015 study, neuroscientists observed people as they wrote poetry. They found that during
the idea-generation phase of writing, the medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶内侧皮层) is especially active. This is
the same part of the brain that is activated during meditation (an activity in which people sit still and focus on their
thoughts), which suggests that creative activity might have some of the same effects on stress as meditational
exercises do — thus why some anxious people routinely use it to treat themselves.
Yet, so many different creative outlets exist that the task of finding one that fits your personality and tastes
can be scary. One method I like to suggest, to help people find the ideal activity for them, is to start by categorizing
creative pursuits as public or private and inventive or interpretive. All you need is to know your personality type
and your preference. Outgoing people who prefer to interpret the works of others can try theater or classical music;
people who are shy might prefer studying poetry.

72．面对不公，他毫不犹豫地挺身而出，捍卫正义。(hesitate)(汉译英)
【答案】Facing injustice, he didn’t hesitate to step forward and defend justice.
【详解】考查非谓语动词和固定搭配。根据所给中文句子，“他”作主语，译为“he”，“毫不犹豫”根据
题干用hesitate，应是固定搭配：don’t hesitate to do 意为“毫不犹豫做某事”，描述已发生的事，用一般过
去时，“挺身而出”译为“step forward”，“捍卫正义”意为“defend justice”，“面对不公”译为“face
injustice”，和逻辑主语he 之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故译为：Facing injustice, he didn’t hesitate
to step forward and defend justice.
73．她极有绘画天赋，不知接下来会有何等佳作面世。(no telling) (汉译英)
【答案】She has a great talent for painting, and there is no telling what masterpieces will come next.
【详解】考查时态及宾语从句。句子描述了客观事实，主句应用一般现在时态。主语“她”应用She；表
示“极有绘画天赋”短语为has a great talent for painting；并列句用连词and 连接；“不知”可以翻译为
“there is no telling”；后面为what 引导的宾语从句，主语“何等佳作”可翻译为what masterpieces；根据句
意，宾语从句时态为一般将来时，情态动词用will；“面世”可翻译为will come next。故整句翻译为She
has a great talent for painting, and there is no telling what masterpieces will come next。
74．设计师将可持续理念融入历史建筑的修缮，既确保了该建筑符合环保要求，又保留其文化底蕴。
(integrate) (汉译英)
【答案】The designer integrated sustainable ideas into the restoration of historical buildings, ensuring that the
building not only meets environmental requirements but also retains its cultural heritage.
【详解】考查短语和时态。主语为单数名词designer；表示“将……融入……”短语为integrate sth.
into…；表示“可持续理念”为sustainable ideas；表示“历史建筑的修缮”为the restoration of historical
buildings；表示“确保”用动词ensure，与designer 构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语，后跟that 引导宾
语从句；主语为the building；表示“不仅……而且……”句型为not only…but also…；表示“符合环保要
求”翻译为meet environmental requirements；表示“保留其文化底蕴”为retains its cultural heritage。主句
为一般过去时，描述过去的事情；宾语从句为一般现在时，表示性质。故翻译为The designer integrated
sustainable ideas into the restoration of historical buildings, ensuring that the building not only meets
environmental requirements but also retains its cultural heritage.
75．在90 年代，这种疾病因其复杂性，曾被误诊为流感类疾病，如今人们已经认识到它是一种罕见的精神
障碍。(whose) (汉译英)
【答案】In the 1990s, this disease, whose complexity once led to its misdiagnosis as a flu-like illness, is now
recognized as a rare mental disorder.
【详解】考查定语从句和时态。句中“因其复杂性”根据题干要求，用定语从句表达，其中“其复杂性”
翻译为“whose complexity”；“曾被误诊为流感类疾病”用“once led to misdiagnosis as a flu-like illness”表
示，使用一般过去时；“如今人们已经认识到”用“is now recognized as”表示，使用现在时态，表述一种
现状；“在90 年代”翻译为“In the 1990s”；“一种罕见的精神障碍”用“a rare mental disorder”表达。故
译为：In the 1990s, this disease, whose complexity once led to its misdiagnosis as a flu-like illness, is now
recognized as a rare mental disorder.

【答案】
Festivals in China and Western Countries
Reporter: Xiao Xing
In my cross-cultural study on festivals, I have chosen the Spring Festival in China and Christmas in Western
countries for comparison.
The Spring Festival signifies the beginning of a new year and the hope for a bountiful harvest. It is
celebrated with family reunions, fireworks, and red envelopes which are filled with money. In contrast, Christmas
commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Westerners decorate trees, exchange gifts, and enjoy a feast with family
and friends.
These differences arise from the distinct cultural and religious backgrounds of China and the West. Chinese
culture emphasizes family unity and respect for ancestors, while Western culture focuses more on individuality and
religious beliefs. Despite these differences, both festivals highlight the importance of family gatherings and the
sharing of blessings.
Through this comparison, I’ve observed that while Chinese and Western cultures vary in many ways, they
also share a common appreciation for family bonds and festive celebrations.
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生根据给定的提纲，选择中国和西方国家各一个典型节日，从
至少两个方面进行对比，分析异同原因，并探讨节日所反映的中西文化的共性或差异。
【详解】1.词汇积累
选择：choose → select

意味着：signify → imply
尽管：despite → in spite of
2.句式拓展
