But she won’t be taking the exam for herself. Since 2007, she has helped hundreds of visually challenged students take exams by acting as their scribe (抄写员), reading them the questions and then writing down the answers they give. When Ms. Nagaraj was growing up in Bangalore, the IT capital of India, her father lost his job after a back injury. The family suddenly found itself struggling. She thought she’d have to drop out of school. Luckily, her mother managed to raise enough money to educate her through high school. Today, she’s a project coordinator for an IT firm. One day, as she was helping a few visually damaged children cross the road, it struck her how difficult even everyday tasks could be for them, let alone finishing their education. Ms. Nagaraj wanted to help those children. In India, most children with sight challenges do not have access to specialized schooling. Even for those who attend mainstream classes, timed exams — key for Indian educational institutions, where scores are especially important — present additional difficulties. “Many of them balk at the thought of writing exams and drop out,” says Ms. Sundararaman, a local education expert. “And so, their education comes to a sudden stop, midway.” Having a scribe can be the difference between passing and failing. Over the past 12 years, word about Ms. Nagaraj’s work has spread — so much that she now gets requests from people from all over India. She has also set up a network of volunteers that posts requests through a WhatsApp group. Ms. Nagaraj is keenly aware of ongoing challenges, chief of which is that, every once in a while, she has to refuse requests from students to give them the answers during exams. Another challenge is to expand the circle of scribes. Despite these, she is very grateful for having the opportunity to help others. “I have no complaints. Actually, I feel very blessed,” she says. 4. What do we know about Ms. Nagaraj from paragraph 2? A. She suffered from a back injury. B. She struggled to finish her high school. C. She raised enough money from an IT firm. D. She had to work to help support her family. 5. What does the underlined word “balk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Become hesitant. B. Feel unsatisfied. C. Are hopeful. D. Are surprised. 6. What challenge does Ms. Nagaraj have to overcome? A. The limited number of scribes. B. The large quantity of exams to take. C. The request to copy answers in the exam. D. The building of a network of volunteers. 7. What’s the text mainly about? A. An Indian woman breaking the record in taking exams. B. The importance of setting up an organization for scribes. C. The problems of students dropping out of school in India. D. An Indian woman helping disabled children by being a scribe. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 本文为一篇记叙文。主要讲述了印度妇女 Nagaraj 女士致力于做志愿抄写员，帮助视觉有障 碍的学生在考场上读题和记录答案，使他们得以继续接受教育的故事。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She thought she’d have to drop out of school. Luckily, her mother managed to raise enough money to educate her through high school.(她以为她得退学了。幸运的 是，她的母亲设法筹到了足够的钱供她读完高中)”可知，Nagaraj 艰难地完成了高中学业， 故选 B。 【5 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In India, most children with sight challenges do not have access to specialized schooling. Even for those who attend mainstream classes, timed exams — key for Indian educational institutions, where scores are especially important — present additional difficulties.(在印度，大多数有视力障碍的儿童没有机会接受专业教育。即使是那些参加主流 课程的学生，计时考试也会带来额外的困难。计时考试是印度教育机构的关键，分数尤其重 要)”以及后文“And so, their education comes to a sudden stop, midway.( 就这样，他们的教育 突然中途就中断了)”可知，对于视觉有障碍的学生来说，考试中如果没有抄写员的帮助， 很难完成考试，尤其在考试分数对教育机构很重要的情况下，因此他们对参加笔试就会变得 很犹豫，进而辍学。故画线词意思为“变得犹豫”。故选 A。 【6 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Another challenge is to expand the circle of scribes.( 另一个挑 战是扩大抄写员的圈子)”可推知，Nagaraj 女士必须克服的挑战是抄写员的数量有限。故选 A。 【7 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Next week, Pushpa Nagaraj will appear for her 720th exam. But she won’t be taking the exam for herself. Since 2007, she has helped hundreds of visually challenged students take exams by acting as their scribe ( 抄 写 员 ), reading them the questions and then writing down the answers they give.(下周，Pushpa Nagaraj 将参加她的第 720 次考试。但她不 是自己参加考试。自 2007 年以来，她已经帮助数百名视力有缺陷的学生参加考试，充当他 们的抄写员，为他们朗读问题，然后写下他们给出的答案)”结合文章主要讲述了印度妇女 Nagaraj 女士致力于做志愿抄写员，帮助视觉有障碍的学生在考场上读题和记录答案，使他 们得以继续接受教育的故事。可知，文章主要内容是一个印度妇女当抄写员帮助残疾儿童。 故选 D。 C If you learned about Thanksgiving in an American elementary school, chances are that the holiday is in honor of how the Pilgrim（清教徒）of Plymouth, Mass, celebrated the harvest by enjoying a dinner with their friendly Indian neighbors. This story is inspired by a real 1621 meal, which reflects neither the 17th century nor the 21st century understanding of it. An 1889 novel that described Thanksgiving as an outdoor feast became a best-seller. The growing ad industry helped spread popular images of the tale. By the 1920s, Thanksgiving was the most talked-about holiday in U.S. classrooms. The parts that made the colonists（殖民者）look bad were left out. However, many classrooms are beginning to change. And on a recent Saturday morning in Washington D.C., about two dozens teachers went to the National Museum of the American Indian to learn a better way to teach the Thanksgiving story. When Gokey, the museum’s teacher-services worker, explained that early Thanksgivings celebrated the burning of a Pequot village in 1637 and the killing of Wampanoag leader Massasoit’s son, listeners felt shocked. “I look back now and realize I was teaching a lot of wrong facts and ideas,” Tonia Parker, a second-grade teacher told TIME. Teachers like the ones at the workshop know that change is coming, and state social-studies standards increasingly encourage students to look at history from multiple angles. Moreover, teaching a better lesson about thankfulness is something anyone can support. At the workshop in Washington, after learning something new, participants learned to say Wado. That Cherokee word means “Thank you”. 8. What did Americans learn about Thanksgiving from the elementary school? A. It was first celebrated in 1889. B. It was a family feast for the Pilgrims. C. It reflected the real history of the 17th century. D. It showed the friendship between the Pilgrims and Indians. 9. Why did some teachers go to the National Museum of the American Indian? A. To confirm the importance of the holiday. B. To prepare for the changing of the classroom. C. To find a more appropriate way to teach Thanksgiving. D. To correct their misunderstanding about Thanksgiving. 10. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. Wado means “Thank you ”in Cherokee. B. Lessons about thankfulness are increasingly popular. C. Participants at the workshop learned to support each other. D. Students are encouraged to see history from different aspects. 11. What would be the best title of the text? A. The Importance of Thanksgiving Education B. Thanksgiving: a Holiday with a Hidden Truth C. Thanksgiving: a Holiday Popularized by a Novel D. The Reform of Education in American Classrooms 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇新闻报道，介绍了美国课堂对感恩节的来历讲述并不正确，原先教材省略了历史上 殖民者对美国印第安人的残忍行径，因此导致学生对感恩节来历的了解不准确和全面，最近， 大约有二十多位老师前往美国印第安人国家博物馆去学习一种更好的教感恩节故事的方法。 【8 题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“If you learned about Thanksgiving in an American elementary school, chances are that the holiday is in honor of how the Pilgrim of Plymouth, Mass, celebrated the harvest by enjoying a dinner with their friendly Indian neighbors.”（ 如果你在美国的小学里学 到了感恩节的故事，你可能知道的是这样的感恩节： 为了纪念清教徒与友好的印第安人庆 祝丰收）可知 ，感恩节展示了清教徒和印第安人之间的友谊，故选 D。 【9 题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“about two dozens teachers went to the National Museum of the American Indian to learn a better way to teach the Thanksgiving story. ”（大约 有二十多位老师前往美国印第安人国家博物馆去学习一种更好的教感恩节故事的方法）可 知，这些老师去美国印第安人国家博物馆是为了找一种更合适的方法来教感恩节故事。故选 C 项。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。由第五段“and state social-studies standards increasingly encourage students to look at history from multiple angles.”（国家社会学习标准越来越鼓励 学生从多个角度看待历史）可知，学生被鼓励从不同的角度看待历史。故选 D。 【11 题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了美国课堂对感恩节的来历讲述并不正确，原先 教材省略了历史上殖民者对美国印第安人的残忍行径，因此导致学生对感恩节来历的了解不 准确和全面，最近，大约有二十多位老师前往美国印第安人国家博物馆去学习一种更好的教 感恩节故事的方法。因此，本文的最佳标题是：感恩节，一个隐藏了历史真相的节日。故选 B。 【点睛】 D Late in 1876, William Orton received advice from Alexander Graham Bell who offered to sell Orton his new invention, the telephone, for $100,000. Orton turned him down. “Why,” he laughed, “would any person want to use this ugly thing when he can have a clear written message sent to any large city in the United States?” Hmmm. My point is: things that you don’t think will catch on sometimes do. Keep that in mind, for a moment, while I tell you that this season’s most popular party dressing trend is renting your dress, rather than buying it. The idea for Girl Meets Dress was born when former fashion PR Anna Bance realized that the practice of lending designer dresses to stars to wear once for an event could be applied to ordinary people. Ten years on, Girl Meets Dress has more than 4,000 pieces to hire.“Sometimes you want to take an Uber; sometimes you want to drive your own car,” says Bance. In the same way, she predicts “half of women’s wardrobes are going to move into the cloud”. Girl Meets Dress is simple to use: no need to subscribe, you can try on up to three dresses and only pay for the one you wear, and two-night dress hire costs between £19 and £119 depending on the dress itself. For her university ball, recent fashion graduate Lotti Martin-Fuller spent £20 on renting a dress worth £100. “I’ve always felt guilty about consuming fast fashion,” she says, “but also wanted to be up-to-date with fashion. As a student, I didn’t have £100 to spend on a dress I might never wear again.” Hirestreet’s founder Isabella West reports that youthful renters are proud to tell people their dress is hired. Right now, demand is more than supply. Rent your dress. The planet will love you for it. 12. Why is the example of Bell used in the first paragraph? A. To describe Bell’s invention. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To stress the importance of the telephone. D. To compare the telephone with the telegraph. 13. Why did Anna Bance start Girl Meets Dress? A. To catch up with the fashion. B. To help women borrow clothes from stars. C. To collect different types of designer dresses. D. To enable ordinary women to borrow designer dresses. 14. Which of the following is true about Girl Meets Dress? A. It is simple to subscribe. B. It charges between £19 and £119. C. It offers over 4,000 dresses to choose from. D. It requires you to pay for the one you try on. 15. What is the author’s attitude to renting dresses? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 本文为说明文，以 William Orton 拒绝 Alexander Bell 的新发明引入话题：现在不流行的东 西将来可能会流行。作者进而介绍了这一季最流行的聚会打扮趋势是租礼服而不是买礼服。 【12 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“My point is: things that you don’t think will catch on sometimes do.（我的观点是：你不认为会流行的东西有时会发生。）”，结合下文讲述的租用 礼服的新趋势，可推知，第一段中使用的贝尔的例子是为了引出本文的主题——现在流行不 起来的东西将来可能会流行。故选 B。 【13 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The idea for Girl Meets Dress was born when former fashion PR Anna Bance realized that the practice of lending designer dresses to stars to wear once for an event could be applied to ordinary people.（当前时装公关 Anna Bance 意识到，把设计师设计 的服装借给明星们，让他们参加某个活动时穿一次，这种做法也可以适用于普通人时，她就 产生了“Girl Meets Dress”的想法。）”可知，Anna Bance 产生“Girl Meets Dress”的想法是 为了让普通女性可以借到名牌服装。故选 D。 【14 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话“Ten years on, Girl Meets Dress has more than 4,000 pieces to hire.（十年来，Girl Meets Dress 有 4000 多件出租。）”和最后一句话“Girl Meets Dress is simple to use: no need to subscribe, you can try on up to three dresses and only pay for the one you wear, and two-night dress hire costs between £19 and £119 depending on the dress itself. (Girl Meets Dress 使用简单:不需要订阅，你可以试穿三件衣服，只付你穿的那一件，租用两晚的礼服的 费用在 19 英镑到 119 英镑之间，取决于礼服本身。)”可知，Girl Meets Dress 提供 4000 多 件礼服供你选择。故选 C。 【15 题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Rent your dress. The planet will love you for it.（租你的衣服。 这个星球会因此爱上你的）” 可推知，作者支持租礼服。故选 A。 第二节 (共 5 小题. 每小题 2.5 分. 满分 12.5 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。 Have you ever splashed out (花大笔钱) on a present for someone you love, spending far more than you would on yourself? ____16____. Splashing out on close relatives may be related to evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary psychology claims that, given the level of familiarity, relatives will usually be given more. ____17____. “Since my close relatives share more genes with me, natural selection has selected for the way of investing in close relatives,” says Sigal Tifferet. Our emotional intelligence (or EQ) may also play a role in determining the extent to which we splash out. Those with higher EQ spent more money on gifts for others, especially people they were close to. ____18____. “The idea is that people with higher emotional understanding can better predict their own emotions, as well as those of the receiver,” Pillai says. ___19___. Experts have recognized plenty of others reasons, from cheering someone up to the self-interested. One interesting finding was that married couples in the US, where the divorce rate is high, gave more gifts to each other than married couples in Japan, where the divorce rate is relatively low. Yet if we splash out on friends or relatives, that may be nothing compared to what we spend on our kids. Again, this may be partly down to evolution — a desire by the old generation to help descendants(后代). Research suggests that the lower your income, the bigger part of it you spend on children, compared to more wealthy families. ____20____. A. If so, you’re not alone B. Besides, presents are given to cheer people up C. And they experienced greater happiness doing so D. Then a better prediction of emotions is made possible E. That’s because children’s needs are seen as somewhat fixed F. And the reason lies in our unconscious drive to spread our genes G. Of course, it’s not just down to evolution or EQ that we give presents 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【分析】 本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了人们倾向于为心爱的人花大笔钱买礼物的几个原因。 【16 题详解】 根据首句“Have you ever splashed out (花大笔钱) on a present for someone you love, spending far more than you would on yourself?”（你是否曾经花大笔钱为你喜爱的人买礼物，花的钱远 比花在你自己身上的多？）这个问句可知，在下文里需要有个回答，A 项的“If so ,you are not alone”(如果是这样，不是只有你会这样做。)符合语境逻辑。故选 A。 【17 题详解】 根据空格后文句子“Since my close relatives share more genes with me, natural selection has selected for the way of investing in close relatives,”（因为我的近亲与我享有更多的基因，自然 选择已经选了这个为近亲投资的方式）可知，本句是上一句中的“原因”的具体内容，所以 F 项中的“reason”和“genes”与空格后句子的“since”和“genes”相呼应，符合语境逻辑。故选 F。 【18 题详解】 根据空格前句子“Those with higher EQ spent more money on gifts for others, especially people they were close to.”（那些情商更高的人花更多的钱给他人买礼物，尤其是给他们亲密的人） 及空格后句子“The idea is that people with higher emotional understanding can better predict their own emotions, as well as those of the receiver,” （有观点认为：情商更高的人能更好地预 测他们自己的情感，而且还能更好地预测那些接受者的情感）中的两个形容词比较级 “more ”“better”可知，C 项“And they experienced greater happiness doing so”（通过这样做， 他们能体会到更大的快乐）中的比较等级“greater”符合语境逻辑，they 指代的就是上下文 中的“情商更高的人”。故选 C。 【19 题详解】 根据空格后句子“Experts have recognized plenty of others reasons，from cheering someone up to the self-interested.”（专家们已经认识到许多别的理由，从鼓舞别人到自我的兴趣）可知，这 说明送人礼物这一行为不只是因为情商高，还有其他原因，G 项“Of course, it’s not just down to evolution or EQ that we give presents”（当然，我们赠人礼物的行为不只归因于进化或情商） 符合语境逻辑。故选 G。 【20 题详解】 根据空格前一句“Research suggests that the lower your income, the bigger part of it you spend on children, compared to more wealthy families.”（研究表明：与富裕的家庭相比，你收越低时， 你花在孩子们上的部分就越大）可知，E 项“That’s because children’s needs are seen as somewhat fixed”（那是由于孩子们的需求被看作是某种固定的东西）是对前一句“你收越低 时，你花在孩子们上的部分就越大”的解释。E 项中的 children’s needs 与上一句中的 children 相一致。故选 E。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节. 满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项。 Once there lived a farmer possessing a land along the Atlantic coast.

Stepping outside the house, they saw flowers smiling in the sunshine and butterflies dancing in the garden. The family survived on growing seasonal plants. While they lived a very happy life, Daisy did not love the wonderful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move to the city and enjoy the urban life. She had a fantasy to go shopping, try on fashionable dresses, watch movies, and eat in fancy restaurants and cafes. However, there was hardly any chance that Daisy’s family would move to the city as they had everything in the village. One day, Daisy felt asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her deceased (已故的) grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her grandmother granted (同意给予) her a wish. Daisy requested her that she would love to enjoy the city life as she always desired. Grandmother understood the desire of Daisy, but still wanted to convince her that peaceful village life was better than city life. She told Daisy, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?” Daisy, without hearing the concerns, asked her grandmother to grant the wish. The grandmother granted her the wish but with a condition. Daisy was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to village. Daisy agreed. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Daisy then found herself in the city with her friends. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, she woke up as her brother was calling her for lunch. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Daisy then found herself in the city with her friends. They went to see a movie and shopped in a mall. For a moment Daisy was thrilled at the brand-new world, seeing people in stylish clothes and skyscrapers everywhere. Yet the excitement didn’t last long, because she noticed the city was filled with noise-making automobiles which gave off smelly exhaust gases. She even heard some people yelling at each other. “There was no peace, no silence; city life was fast and rushing,” Daisy thought. Suddenly, she woke up as her brother was calling her for lunch. Recalling what happened in the dream, Daisy realized that her peaceful village life was so wonderful that she didn’t need to envy those who lived in the crowded city. At lunch, Daisy shared the dream. “City life can be luring to people, for they have easy access to entertainment facilities and better infrastructure. But here I have the chance to appreciate the sounds the world makes without being bothered by noisy vehicles and people,” she told her family. 【解析】 【分析】 本文以事件发展的先后顺序为线索而展开，主要介绍了和家人住在乡村的小女孩一心想要去 城市生活，有一天梦见了祖母答应帮自己完成这个愿望，但只能在城市待六个小时。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句内容“Daisy 发现自己和朋友们在城里”可知，该段可续写 Daisy 在城里 的所见、所闻、所感。 ②根据第二段首句内容“突然，当她哥哥叫她吃午饭时，她醒了”可知，该段主要续写 Daisy 苏醒后对城市生活和乡村生活的新认识。 2.续写线索：Daisy 发现自己和朋友们在城里——对城市生活感到激动——注意到城市充满 了制造噪音的汽车，释放难闻的废气以及大喊大叫的人们——梦醒了——不再羡慕城市生活 ——Daisy 分享这个梦——住在乡村可以不用被嘈杂的车辆和人群所打扰 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①注意到：notice/take notice of/be aware of ②打扰：bother/disturb/interfere with 情绪类： ①激动：be thrilled at/be excited about/be in high spirits ②羡慕：envy/be jealous of/be envious of/green-eyed monster 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Yet the excitement didn't last long, because she noticed the city was filled with noise-making automobiles which gave off smelly exhaust gases.（because 引导原因状语从 句；which 引导限制性定语从句） [高分句型 2] Recalling what happened in the dream, Daisy realized that her peaceful village life was so wonderful that she didn't need to envy those who lived in the crowded city.（现在分词结构 作状语；what 引导宾语从句；第一个 that 引导宾语从句；so...that 引导结果状语从句；who 引导限制性定语从句）
