At just 21 years old, Cai has topped Chinese music charts with multiple singles.‎ On July 26, KUN released his newest single Young. Within just 20 seconds, it reached a million sales.‎ KUN wrote the song to share his understanding of youth. He mixed R&B and electronic beats (节拍) to make it more cheerful. A reviewer wrote on QQ Music, “When you listen to the song, you just seem to go back to youth again.”‎ The song was an early birthday present to himself which he celebrated on Aug 2. KUN also hopes that he always has the courage to pursue (追求) his love of music, no matter what people think. “My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them.” he told the Global Times.‎ Indeed, KUN has written and produced most of his songs on his own. “I want every piece of my ‎ work to have my own spirit in it,” he told music website Soundigest, “I feel more enjoyment when I'm performing my own work.”‎ Although KUN loves performing onstage, when the lights go down, he prefers to fall back into his own world and darkness at night. “I always get inspired when it's quiet, late at night”, he told I-D magazine, “It's a great moment for me to create new things. Sometimes, I can write songs with a melody (旋律) I heard in a dream.”‎ To develop his introspection (反思) and find new inspiration, KUN attends different kinds of musical performances — from festivals to opera houses. “I just like to do everything, all for my music, all for my art,” he told I-D.‎ With such talent and dedication to music, it seems that KUN will continue to make his mark in the competitive Chinese music industry.‎ ‎21. What do we know about KUN's newest single?‎ A. It earns him a birthday present. B. It makes people feel happy and energetic.‎ C. It shows how he pursues his dream.  D. It combines jazz and electronic music.‎ ‎22. What does KUN usually do to get inspiration for music?‎ A. He goes to music shows. B. He talks to famous singers.‎ C. He attends music classes.   D. He finds melodies in his dreams.‎ ‎23. Which would best describe KUN?‎ A. Courageous and patient. B. Talented and humorous.‎ C. Hardworking and creative. D. Optimistic and outgoing.‎ B A long time ago, and still in some countries today, the dollar and penny did not even exist. Actually, trading a cow for two pigs is still the norm (常态) for many cultures. So how is it that we get to use paper and coins?‎ The biggest challenge for ancient cultures was to have a system that would allow people to exchange products with each other. However, the problem came up when one person was in need of something immediately that they didn’t have a product to trade. For example, a farmer that needed wheat only had fruit to exchange but the fruit wasn’t ready to hand over for another two months. This is what started the idea of a “common currency”. The farmer could buy what he needed with “currency” and just as important; the value of the goods he was exchanging was standardized. He did not have to worry about giving anything in return now or later; his deal was complete. Thus “money” was born.‎ Over time, each country has developed its own currency and something that might cost 1,000,000 lire in one country might be 1 dollar in the US currency. Most countries also frequently use powerful political people as the “face” of their currency. The US currency is the best example of this. Can you name all the presidents that currently appear on not only paper money but also coins?‎ The real excitement, however, is the future of how we buy things. People have started to use debit cards (借记卡) that allow you to pay using your bank account rather than cash. That has given way to something called Mondex. Mondex allows you to “wave” your card past any special device that can read these cards. You no longer have to insert, swipe (刷) and then punch in numbers, which could cause security problems.‎ ‎24. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1?‎ A. To introduce the topic of the text. ‎ B. To explain what money was like in history.‎ C. To tell us that there was no money long ago.‎ D. To compare the difference between a cow and two pigs.‎ ‎25. The farmer had an idea of using currency when ___________.‎ A. he had a product to exchange B. he had made a lot of money C. he had nothing to trade for what he needed D. he would harvest his fruit ‎26. Mondex is a kind of card which can ___________.‎ A. keep you safe if you are in trouble B. save you a large amount of money C. help you trade safely and conveniently D. make you happy whenever you are bored ‎27. What does this passage mainly talk about?‎ A. The evolution of payment. B. The trade in ancient times.‎ C. The use of money in the world. D. New ways of payment.‎ C We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively(被动地). We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.‎ We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.‎ Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor(谣言).‎ Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.‎ That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping(打上标记)it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.‎ This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _______.‎ A. doing a medical experiment B. solving a math problem C. visiting an exhibition D. doing scientific reasoning ‎29. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.‎ A. active learning B. knowledge C. communication D. passive learning ‎30. The author mentions the game Rumor to show that _____.‎ A. a message may be changed when being passed on ‎ B. a message should be delivered in different ways C. people may have problems with their sense of hearing D. people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor ‎31. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Active learning is less important. B. Passive learning may not be reliable.‎ C. Active learning occurs more frequently. D. Passive learning is not found among scholars.‎ D My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.‎ Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going?”‎ A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail. They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their fear—as mine was until my father’s letter — is of being a disappointment.‎ Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me: That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts: “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.‎ ‎32. We learn from the passage that the author .‎ ‎ A. lost his father when he was young ‎ B. worked hard before he read his father’s letter ‎ C. asked his father’s permission to believe in himself ‎ D. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do ‎33. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Children need their parents’ letters.‎ ‎ B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.‎ ‎ C. His children’s fear of failure held them back.‎ ‎ D. His father’s letter removed his fear of failing his parents.‎ ‎34. Which of the following is TRUE of the author?‎ ‎ A. He got no access to success. B. He wrote back to his father at 12.‎ ‎ C. He was sure his parents loved him. D. He once asked his father about the letter.‎ ‎35. The main purpose of the passage is to . ‎ A. describe children’s thinking B. answer some questions children have ‎ C. stress the importance of communication D. advise parents to encourage their children 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ One of the great benefits of being able to record sound is to make books available for listening.

Everyone respected him and many people came to him asking for advice.‎ His son , however, was very lazy and wasted his time sleeping. The years passed, and time faded the youth of the wise man. He recognized the need to give something to his son so that he could take care of himself and his family.‎ One day, he called his son to his room and said, “ My son , you are no more a kid now . I want you to find the real purpose of your life .”‎ Then he handed his son a bag. The son opened the bag. Inside were some food, a little money and a map. His father continued, "I want you to go and find a treasure. I have drawn a map of the place where the treasure is hidden. You need to go and find it."‎ The son loved this idea. The next day, he set out on a journey to find the treasure. He had to travel really far across forests and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with money.‎ Finally, after a long year, he reached his destination. He searched and searched, but found nothing. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure. By the third day, he was so tired that he decided to leave.‎ On his way back, he met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time he stayed a few days with them and helped them in some way or another. He realized how nice they had been to a stranger who had nothing to offer them in return.‎ ‎ When he reached home , he realized it had been two years since he left the place.

To my surprise, many of them expressed their disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time at university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, many of them told me they got up at 6:00 in the morning and studied until 10:00 at night. Most of the time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the college entrance examination.‎ Once they enter university, in my opinion, the students should not be expected to devote all their waking hours to studying. They should also take an active part in school activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in accumulating experience for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new-found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’ s why they were not happy.‎ To those students, my advice was: get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.‎ 评分标准 ‎（1）评分原则 ‎1. 本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。‎ ‎2. 评分时，先根据所续写短文的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量、确定或调整档次，最后给分。‎ ‎3. 词数少于130的，从总分中减去2分。‎ ‎4. 评分时，应主要从以下四个方面考虑：‎ ‎(1) 与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度；‎ ‎(2) 内容的丰富性和对所标出关词语的应用情况；‎ ‎(3) 应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性；‎ ‎(4) 上下文的连贯性。‎ ‎5. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个重要方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑。‎ ‎6. 如书写较差以致影响交际，可将分数降低一个档次。‎ ‎（2）各档次的给分范围和要求 档次 ‎             描述 第五档 ‎(21—25)‎ ‎— 与所给短文融洽度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理。‎ ‎— 内容丰富，应用了5个以上短文中标出的关键词语。‎ ‎— 所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达。‎ ‎— 有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。‎ 第四档 ‎(16—20)‎ ‎— 与所给短文融洽度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理。‎ ‎— 内容比较丰富，应用了5个以上短文中标出的关键词语。‎ ‎— 所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但不影响意义表达。‎ ‎— 比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。‎ 第三档 ‎ ‎(11—15)‎ ‎— 与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。‎ ‎— 写出了若干有关内容，应用了4个以上短文中标出的关键词语。‎ ‎— 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义的表达。‎ ‎— 应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文内容连贯。‎ ‎— 与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接。‎ ‎— 写出了一些有关内容，应用了3个以上短文中标出的关键词语。‎ 第二档 ‎ ‎(6—10)‎ ‎— 语法结构单调，词汇项目有限，有些语法结构和词汇方面的错误，影响了意义的表达。‎ ‎— 较少使用语句间的连接成分，全文内容缺少连贯性。‎ 第一档 ‎ ‎(1—5)‎ ‎— 与所给短文和开头语的衔接较差。‎ ‎— 产出内容太少，很少使用短文中标出的关键词语。‎ ‎— 语法结构单调，词汇项目很有限，有较多语法结构和词汇方面的错误，严重影响了意义的表达。‎ ‎— 缺乏语句间的连接成分，全文内容不连贯。‎ ‎0‎ 白卷、内容太少无法判断或所写内容与所提供内容无关。‎
