at school，the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work.There was homework to do，sport to play and fun to have.But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience.When I was a teenager I had a paper round：delivering newspapers to people’s homes.I then progressed to a Saturday job in a supermarket：stacking shelves and working at the checkout.‎ Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13，and many children do take up part-time jobs.It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage(成人仪式).It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV(简历).Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their money.‎ Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on.A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employer’s organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment，but despite this，recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.‎ So，does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not.Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school，and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results and a good job in the long term.However，Geoff Barton，general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders，told BBC News that “Properly regulated(控制的) part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality，it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.‎ 语篇解读　本文为一篇议论文。研究和调查表明，适当的兼职会让学生们学会独立、获取阅历、为将来工作做好准备，同时还要在做兼职和有足够的时间学习和休息之间取得平衡。‎ ‎58.How did the author feel about doing part-time jobs on weekends when he was a teenager?‎ A.Unwilling. B.Interested.‎ C.Delighted. D.Angry.‎ 答案　A 解析　观点态度题。根据第一段第一句“When you were at school，the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work.”可知，作者认为当你在学校的时候，你可能最不想做的事情就是周末去上班。故作者的态度是不情愿的，选A。‎ ‎59.Which of the following may NOT be the benefit of school children’s doing part-time jobs?‎ A.Learning to be independent.‎ B.Gaining some life experience.‎ C.Being prepared for future jobs.‎ D.Spending what they earn as they like.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience”，第二段中的“It’s a taste of independence...it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults”及第三段中的“not participating in part-time work...being ill-prepared for full-time employment”可知，兼职会让学生学会独立、获取生活阅历和为将来工作做好准备。故选D项。‎ ‎60.What does the underlined word “deleterious” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A.Valuable. B.Harmful.‎ C.Necessary. D.Impossible.‎ 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的调研内容可知，该研究表明，雇主们一直将年轻人对全职工作准备不足归咎于他们在上学时没有做兼职工作。故学生不做兼职工作可能对以后的生活有害，选项B符合题意。‎ C Feeding birds is a popular way to watch wildlife.But experts say it might put wild birds at risk.‎ Feeding birds is not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions.Feeders(喂食器) can definitely help birds get through that kind of weather.But most birds eat insects and show little interest in bird feeders.For those birds，we can grow native plants in a natural environment.Birds which are fond of eating seeds will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby.This lets them feed and then fly to protective areas，such as in trees.‎ The most common mistake people make with their bird feeders is that they put feeders in places where birds are easily frightened by passers-by，risk being hurt by cats，or risk flying into windows.‎ So set up a bird feeder at least one meter away from a window.That way，if a bird gets frightened，it won’t get killed when it hits the glass.Owners of cats should keep them inside home so they can’t hurt the birds.‎ Some birds are more aggressive at feeders.They eat a lot and do not leave much food for other birds.A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.This can also increase the number and diversity of birds in your neighborhood.But don’t feed wild birds anything salty，like potato chips，or food that could choke them，like bread.‎ Pay attention to food quality and freshness.Unprotected food left too long in feeders will turn moldy(发霉)，which can kill wildlife.‎ Another word of advice：Always provide a supply of clean water for birds，but use care when ‎ looking for the right birdbath.If the birdbaths are too deep for birds，putting a few large stones in the water can give the birds a place to sit.‎ 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，人们在喂鸟的时候无意中会给鸟儿带来危险，文章具体解释了这些危险并提出了安全喂鸟的建议。‎ ‎61.What’s the most common mistake about feeding birds?‎ A.Putting feeders in improper places.‎ B.Providing food in inappropriate time.‎ C.Leaving feeders unprotected.‎ D.Supplying dirty and deep water.‎ 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知人们在喂鸟的时候，最常见的错误是把喂鸟器放在错误的地方，这样给鸟儿带来了很多危险。故A项正确。‎ ‎62.Which of the following may not be suitable for feeding birds?‎ A.Seeds. B.Bread. C.Fruit. D.Insects.‎ 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“But don’t feed wild birds anything salty，like potato chips，or food that could choke them，like bread.”可知，作者建议人们不要喂给鸟儿薯条和面包，因为这些食物不适合喂鸟。故B项正确。‎ ‎63.The author advises helping more birds by .‎ A.increasing the number of feeders B.cleaning the birds with clean water C.putting more large stones in the feeders D.keeping aggressive birds away from the feeders 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段第三句“A solution is to put the food in more than one place by using different kinds of seeds or fruits.”可知，作者建议我们把食物放在多个地方，并提供不同种类的食物。这样做，自然是要增加喂鸟器的数量。故A项正确。‎ ‎64.What is the text mainly about?‎ A.Problems with bird feeding.‎ B.Where to place bird feeders.‎ C.Popular ways of protecting wild birds.‎ D.How to feed wild birds safely and healthily.‎ 答案　D 解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段内容可知，本文主要讲述的是喂鸟会给鸟儿带来一定的危险；第三段介绍了具体的危险，后四段里提出具体的安全喂鸟的建议。故D项符合本文中心思想。‎ D I hung another ornament(装饰品) on the tree when my husband，John，was on his way to get another box of decorations.I’d never been crazy about Christmas. John and the kids had always done their best to make me happy with the holiday spirit，but this Christmas their efforts would be especially hopeless.‎ My salary as a teacher had decreased. John’s government salary was frozen.There wasn’t much money to go around，and presents were just a dream.John put on a brave face as usual，and the kids acted like it was no big deal.But for me that brought back memories of my childhood.I’d never forget how embarrassed I’d felt when we returned from the Christmas break back in elementary school.‎ ‎“I got the delicious food for Christmas！” one of my friends shouted in the lunchroom.“I got the clothes！”another girl said，standing up to show her green blouse, matching a beautiful skirt and shiny new shoes.Everyone cheered.I looked down at the cafeteria table，pretending to be absorbed in my bread.“And what did you get，Lori？” someone asked.‎ ‎“So many presents，I can’t remember！” I lied. My parents gave us plenty of love，but love was the only thing we had.Mom and Dad always had a hard time living within their means，and the situation was even worse then than that now.Christmas presents were practical: a book，or a game for the whole family to share.I felt shame at lying to my friends，but I didn’t know how to tell them the truth.What if they felt sorry for me？I couldn’t bear it.‎ By the time I married John, I’d long since decided Christmas just wasn’t for me.John had never heard of such a thing.“How can you not like Christmas？” he wanted to know.“Too much pressure，too many expectations and too big a disappointment，” I said.And I felt exactly the same way now，only worse.‎ I looked down at the tree skirt.Empty，just like Christmas when I was growing up.“What’s wrong？” John asked.“Nothing，” I said.I was lying to him just like I’d lied to my friends in the school lunchroom.“Can you pass me another ornament？” I asked John.“Sure，” he said，digging in the box.“But first let me find a place of honor for my favorite one.” He searched the tree for just the right branch to hold the delicate red glass bulb(电灯泡) with the “Merry Christmas”writing. It was a precious reminder of his childhood，and he took great pleasure in hanging it on our tree every year.‎ ‎“I’ll never forget all the trouble you took replacing it when it broke，”John said.What else could I have done？I had never known anything to upset my husband so much—especially at Christmastime.The tree had fallen over and several ornaments broke，but this one was unique.It was fine if I didn’t have any Christmas spirit.I was used to that.But John was a different story ‎ altogether.He took a step back to admire the replacement I’d finally found after endlessly searching on foot and surfing the Internet. It was an exact replacement for the ornament he loved! I had worked hard to make things right for John.And I did it because I loved to see my Christmas-loving husband full of holiday joy.No cutback or salary freeze could take that joy away.No wrapped gift under the tree could match it.And that’s what made us rich today, even if our tree skirt sat empty of presents.I adjusted one of the tree lights so it was directly on John’s beloved ornament.The words on it shone.‎ After all this time, I finally understood its message.Christmas was the season to celebrate the love I had for my husband，my family，or those who loved us all.How could anyone not like Christmas?‎ 语篇解读　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的工资降低了，她丈夫的政府薪金也被冻结了，这让这个圣诞节蒙上了阴影。作者由此联想到自己儿时贫穷的圣诞节更觉沮丧，但是在家人的努力之下，作者终于明白圣诞节的意义不是在于金钱，而在于对家人的爱。‎ ‎65.The writer expected a cold Christmas that winter because of .‎ A.the cold weather B.her kids’ reluctance C.the financial difficulty D.her husband’s unemployment 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but this Christmas their efforts would be especially hopeless”和第二段中的“My salary as a teacher had decreased.John’s government salary was frozen...But for me that brought back memories of my childhood.”可知，那时作者的工资降低了，她丈夫的政府薪金也被冻结了，所以经济相当困难，更不用说圣诞礼物之类的东西。尽管丈夫和孩子们都情绪高涨，但作者还是觉得那个圣诞节不会很快乐。‎ ‎66.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 imply?‎ A.It’s difficult for the writer’s parents to make ends meet.‎ B.It’s hard for the writer’s family to separate from each other.‎ C.The writer’s parents always spent less on Christmas presents.‎ D.The writer’s parents were worried about the coming of Christmas.‎ 答案　A 解析　句意理解题。根据文中关于作者儿时家庭状况的描写及画线部分后面的“and the situation was even worse then than that now”可知，画线部分表示的应是小时候作者的家庭在经济上有困难，他们只能量入为出，勉强维持生计。故选A。make ends meet意为“使收支相抵，勉强维持生计”。‎ ‎67.What was the writer ashamed of in the school lunchroom?‎ A.Being laughed at by her classmates.‎ B.Receiving no Christmas gifts.‎ C.Being born into a poor family.‎ D.Lying to her classmates.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I felt shame at lying to my friends”可知，作者因对朋友的不诚实而感到羞愧。故选D。‎ ‎68.Why did the

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。‎ Have you ever been so absorbed in a conversation at a party that you failed to notice that someone new is standing only six inches away from you，trying to get your attention？It’s possible that you were so distracted that you didn’t notice someone approaching you.But it’s also entirely likely that you were experiencing change blindness.‎ Change blindness is a phenomenon that occurs when a person is unable to notice visual changes in their environment，despite the fact that they are often rather obvious.In cases of change blindness，the person isn’t failing to notice small or insignificant changes，but will probably miss big changes，like someone standing next to them waving their hand.‎ Early experiments with change blindness focused largely on memory and perception when viewing pictures.For example，a person might be shown a photograph of a street scene in Egypt and told to memorize the image.Following that，they would be shown the same picture with certain elements added or taken away and asked to identify what’s different.Very often the individual could recall the larger aspects of the picture but couldn’t recognize the smaller changes.‎ In the 1990s，researcher Daniel Simons conducted a fascinating study into change blindness that many people find unbelievable.In Simons’ study，he asked participants to watch a video of a basketball being passed around between several people，with a particular focus on the basketball itself.When the experiment was over，Simons found that a large number of participants were so focused on watching the basketball being passed around that they failed to notice a man in a gorilla suit jumping around in front of the camera.‎ It’s important to note that the change in Simons’ video wasn’t subtle；the gorilla is very obviously taking up much of the frame.Simons concluded that participants were experiencing inattentive blindness，which is when a person fails to notice a major change because they are so focused on another task.In this case，because participants were asked to focus on the movement of the basketball，their brains prioritized that task in order to do it properly，thereby missing the other things happening in the video.‎ In the case of Simons’ study，participants engaged what’s referred to as attentive selection，which is when a person selects certain things to focus on in order to achieve a task and filters out anything that is unrelated to the objective.‎ There are a number of theories about what causes a person’s inability to recognize obvious changes in their environment，but most agree that the phenomenon is related to sensory processing.Broadly speaking，our brains have a limited capacity to detect and process everything in our environment.Instead，what the brain does is choose certain things to process，evaluate and store，‎ which allows other things to be missed or filtered out.‎ In simple terms，change blindness has a great deal to do with where a person directs their attention.In the case of the gorilla and the basketball，people focused their attention almost exclusively on one thing，which caused them to miss other elements or changes.Given that attention is often at the root of change blindness，a person’s age or mental and physical health can influence how well they will notice changes in stimuli.‎ Title：Change

‎71.答案　Definition/Concept 解析　根据第二段内容及右侧表格的内容可知此处是change blindness的定义或概念。故填Definition/Concept。‎ ‎72.答案　unnoticed 解析　根据第二段第一句的“when a person is unable to notice visual changes”中的unable to notice以及第二句内容可知填unnoticed。‎ ‎73.答案　focus 解析　根据第三段第一句“Early experiments with change blindness focused largely on memory and perception when viewing pictures.”可知，早期实验的焦点是记忆和认知能力，故填focus。‎ ‎74.答案　poor 解析　根据第三段末句“Very often the individual could recall the larger aspects of the picture but couldn’t recognize the smaller changes.”可知，个体不能辨认那些小的变化，在此方面不擅长，故填poor。‎ ‎75.答案　moving 解析　根据第四段中“he asked participants to watch a video of a basketball being passed around between several people”可知，实验时让参加者们看互相传递篮球的视频，由此可知是“运动的”篮球，故填moving。‎ ‎76.答案　escaped 解析　根据第四段的“participants were so focused on watching the basketball being passed around that they failed to notice a man in a gorilla suit jumping around in front of the camera”可知，人们太专注于篮球，却没注意从相机前跳过的穿着大猩猩服装的人。此处指逃离他们的视线，根据failed to notice可知填escaped。‎ ‎77.答案　priority 解析　根据第五段的“their brains prioritized that task in order to do it properly”可知，为了正确地完成任务，他们的大脑优先注意这个任务。此处指“优先，首选”，根据prioritized故填priority。‎ ‎78.答案　Causes

blindness has a great deal to do with where a person directs their attention”中的has a great deal to do with可知是“有关，相关”之意，故填related/linked。‎ 第五部分　书面表达(满分25分)‎ ‎81.请认真阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Li Jiang，15 May，Sunny Today，I was excited to have finished my homework although we had much more than usual.In English reading，I met several new words that caused me trouble in understanding the passage，but unlike many of my classmates，I didn’t search for answers online.My mother was very happy because she always tells me not to use the Internet to find keys.‎ Su Hua，15 May，Sunny This morning，Mr Li praised me for my nice performance in maths homework.Some of the classmates admired me with their smiles，but some gave me sneering looks.In fact，I felt much ashamed because yesterday I

students turn to the Internet for answers to their problems when doing their homework，while some who are more disciplined just turn a deaf ear to it.‎ From my point of view，relying on the Internet to solve our problems can have bad impacts on us.On the one hand，since we always settle the troubles by searching for solutions online，we would become very lazy and don’t bother to think up answers by ourselves，which would hold back the development of creative thinking.On the other hand，the answers online may be inaccurate or wrong.If we use them without thinking the credibility of them，we may make serious mistakes someday.‎ Thus，when we come across some difficulties，we’d better try our best to find possible solutions.If we make great efforts and still can’t come up with answers，then we can search for solutions online.But we should question the correctness of these answers before we adopt them.‎
