From five -wheeled cycles and rockets to a lioness and flintlock pistols (手枪),the award-winning Postal Museum offers a surprising and entertaining half day out for all ages. See a restored Mail Coach that thundered across 1800s Britain, get up close to the only existing sheets of the world5 s first postage stamp, the Penny Black, and explore Mail Rail—one of London's hidden gems—with a 15-minute ride through the underground tunnels of the Post Office5 s own 100-year-old railway. Forget what you think you know about the post and visit one of London's newest museums to discover just what it took to keep us all in touch. Know Before You Go • Mail Rail is a miniature railway designed to carry post, not people. As such, it's not suitable for everyone and we^re unfortunately unable to accommodate wheelchair users on the ride itself. • The Postal Museum is open 10am-5pm every day (closed at Christmas). • Please ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes before the end of the one-hour Mail Rail timeslot shown on your ticket. Failure to arrive on time may result in being - 31 - unable to ride Mail Rail. • Re-entry is permitted any time between 10am and 4:30pm on the date stated on the ticket. 36. A visitor to the Postal Museum will have the chance to . A. take the restored Mail Coach B. ride Mail Rail for 15 minutes C. get a copy of the Penny Black D. hear an unusual story of the post 37. From the advertisement, we can know that . A. re-entry is not permitted during the opening hours B. the museum reduces the opening hours at Christmas C. unpunctual visitors may not get the most out of the tour D. wheelchair users cannot ride Mail Rail without attendance 【答案】36. B 37. C 【解析】 这是一篇应用文。主要讲述了一条有关英国邮政铁路博物馆的广告。介绍了博物馆以及需要注意的事项。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二行末尾“and explore Mail Rail——one of London’s hidden gems——with a 15-minute ride through the underground tunnels of the Post Office’s own 100-year-old railway.”可知,参观者有机会体验乘坐15分钟Mail Rail的列车。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后的注意事项第三点“Failure to arrive on time may result in being unable to ride Mail Rail.”可知,不守时的游客没法完全体验这个旅程。故选C。 B According to new health guidelines, even a minute or two of physical exercise is better than nothing: just walking upstairs and down again, before continuing your otherwise entirely sofa-based afternoon of crisps and television, makes for a healthier life than if you hadn' t bothered. The previous recommendation was for a - 31 - 10-minute minimum, but for years’ the general direction of research has been toward the conclusion that there is no minimum at all. This doesn51 just go for exercise^ either. Five minutes in nature can boost your mental health; and while one daily serving of vegetables may be too few, it's definitely preferable to zero. If you are wondering whether or not some tiny but healthful activity is worth it, the answer^ almost always, is yes. It' s a little strange actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is better than nothing. For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves. Human bodies aren't digital devices, and health generally isn't a matter of reaching fixed thresholds (门槛);what is good for the organism in large quantities is usually good in smaller ones, too. The real reason for the debate is not that the facts are in dispute (争议).It's that information is dangerous. When public bodies recommend^ say, a 10-minute minimum, it's because they worry that if they don't, people who might otherwise have exercised for 10 minutes will stop after two. Even this column risks making things worse. If you had truly been planning to spend all day on the sofa, perhaps I have inspired you to take a five-minute walk; but if there is a chance that you would have gone to the gym for an hour, reading these words might persuade you to settle for the stroll (散步)instead. Ideally, we would stop thinking about healthy behaviours in terms of minimums: within reason, you should be doing as much exercise as you can, not as little as you can get away with—while remembering that nothing is too minor to be not worth the bother. This is a sensible approach to much of life, I would say, from being a good friend or paying attention to your kids, to saving money or reducing your environmental impact. However much you do9 it will never be enough. But that is not a reason to do nothing—on the contrary^ it' s a reason to do something. 38. Tiny healthy actions are worthwhile because • A. they contribute to good habits and health B. they provide abundant choices for fitness - 31 - C. they add a new dimension to people, s lives D. they are easily conducted in people5 s daily lives 39. Why don public bodies recommend a minimum time for exercise? A. People have their own concept of time. B. It contradicts with new health guidelines. C. There is a lack of scientific research on it. D. People may misinterpret its real intentions. 40. What does the writer want to stress in the passage? A. Life lies in movement. B All roads lead to Rome. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Anything is better than nothing. 【答案】38. A 39. D 40. D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了有关运动对身体健康的好处,即使是少量的运动都值得我们去做。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“For one thing, it's a good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves.”可知,小的健康行为是值得的,因为它们有助于良好的习惯和健康。结合选项,故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据根据倒数第二段“but if there is a chance you would have chance that you would have gone to the gym for an hour,reading these words might persuade you to settle for the stroll instead.”可知如果人们了解到了最低运动时间,可能原本能去一小时健身房的人也会变成散个步就结束了。可以选出D选项人们会错误地理解给出最低运动时间的真正意图。结合选项,故选D。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“It' s a little strange actually, that this is even a topic of debate. Of course anything is better than nothing. For one thing, it's a - 31 - good start for building habits. For another, tiny actions are valuable in themselves.”可知,作者强调,首先,这是培养习惯的一个良好开端。另一方面,微小的行为本身也是有价值的。故选D。 C We like to think that the human mind is special. One sign of our superiority is self-awareness, which is generally seen as the peak of consciousness. Only a select group of species has passed the test of being able to recognise themselves in a mirror. Most, including elephants, apes and dolphins, are smart. But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror test——a classic experiment used to judge self-awareness in animals. What are we to make of this? Admittedly^ the mirror test is a questionable way of probing (探究)the minds of other animals. But the finding does fit with a new idea that the ability to recognise oneself is more related to an animal’s lifestyle than to its brain size. Self-awareness is likely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by this way of thinking, it is nothing more than an accidental by-product of evolution^ a simulation (模拟)created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of complexity. The cleaner wrasse lives on coral reefs and provides a service by biting parasites (寄 生虫)off the scales of bigger fish gently, a delicate relationship that may require insight into the minds of its clients. Such “theory of mind” has long been seen as another cornerstone of human mental superiority. The possibility that fish possess it is not, however, the only threat to our human exceptionalism (例外).It may not be long before computers give us a run for our money , too. Researchers have created a set of tests to look for theory of mind in artificial intelligence— and some systems are on the point of passing. No AIs have passed the tests yet, but one got extremely close. We probably don't need to worry about robots - 31 - that can recognise themselves in mirrors. But we might want to be more open to the idea that human intelligence isn't quite as special as we like to think. 41. What can we learn from the mirror test? A. Mammals have a more adaptive body system. B. A species of fish is capable of self-recognition. C. The human mind is just as special as expected. D. Humans have reached the peak of consciousness. 42. According to the passage, self-awareness . A. is formed during evolution by chance B. corresponds with the size of the brain C. isn't a hall of mirrors but a simulation D. reflects the typical mental complexity 43. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably means " A. bring us huge profits B. cost us a lot of money C. have great control over us D. challenge our exceptionalism 44. What' s the main idea of the passage? A. Fish possess no level of intelligence. B. Humans are not unique in intelligence. C. AIs will be able to understand our thoughts. D. Self-awareness is a big mystery of the mind. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了多种动物和人工智能也可能拥有自我意识和自我认知,人类的思想智慧已不再像人类认为的那样独特。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But now a little fish, the cleaner wrasse has become the first fish ever to pass the mirror test——a classic experiment used to judge self-awareness in animals.”可知,一种名为“cleaner - 31 - wrasse”的鱼通过了题干中所提到的”mirror test”,而上文提到通过此测试就证明该物种有自我认知力。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Self-awareness is likely to occur in creatures whose survival is dependent on reading the minds of others. In fact, by this way of thinking, it is nothing more than an accidental by-product of evolution^ a simulation (模拟)created by the brain, or even just a hall of mirrors giving the illusion of complexity.”可知,自我意识是在进化过程中偶然形成的。故选A。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“The possibility that fish possess it is not, however, the only threat to our human exceptionalism (例外).It may not be long before computers give us a run for our money , too.”可知,“鱼不是人类唯一的威胁”,可推测人工智能也会成为威胁,“give sb a run for his money”是固定表达,意思是“与某人竞争、一比高下”。故选D。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了多种动物和人工智能也能拥有自我认知能力,即侧面证明人类思想的独特性受到冲击,其他选项都较为片面,故选B。 D For me, Christmas was always complicated. As a child, it was joyful, yet a bit bittersweet. On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengali (孟加拉)father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration. To five-year-old me, the idea that someone might not love Christmas was unbelievable. It was years before I realised that my father’ s own childhood had been a Santa-free zone. I was vaguely aware of the Bengali equivalent (等同物)to Christmas. Every September or October, airmail parcels would arrive, and ambitious plans were hatched to acquire syrupy cottage-cheese dumplings. But for me this was an addition to 25 December^ not a substitution. Matters were further complicated by my father's job. After going to medical school in Kolkata, he had got a posting as a junior doctor at a hospital in Glasgow, where he met my mother, a nurse.(She gave up work after having children.) He often had - 31 - to work on Christmas Day, which would make Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to work with Dad and see actual Santa visiting sick children on the wards. As the years went by, though, my father began to accept Christmas. He was promoted to consultant, so he didn't have to work on the day. Everyone was joyful. Somehow, the more Dad engaged with Christmas, the more I disliked it. It was as if happy atmosphere was one of the infectious diseases he specialised in—I had caught a terminal case” while he had gone on to make a full recovery. Things probably became worse in adulthood by the fact that bad events had a habit of happening to me at Christmas: losing a job, a breakup, a health emergency. My symptoms worsened and I gave up on sending cards or putting up decorations. But then, one day everything changed. In October 2012, my father died. He had been in good health; nothing could have prepared us for such a loss. I have no memory of Christmas that year, except that it was the worst of my life. During that period,one of the only things that kept me sane (理智的)was weekly choir (唱诗班)practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir knows, Christmas is non-negotiable. So I dragged myself out on that freezing night. The lights were sparkling; London had never looked so beautiful. I was totally lost in the music, so I started dancing, laughing and doing jazz hands, carrying on like the naughty 15-year-old chorister I had been at school. It was then that a woman approached me. "Hi,” she faltered (支吾),“You were wonderful up there—I wanted to thank you.” I made a joke about how we didn't sound as out of tune as normal, but she shook her head. “No, I wanted to thank you." I couldn't think what she meant. "Things aren't so good for me at the moment,” she told me. I looked at her more closely. What I saw in the woman5 s watery blue eyes was grief. It dawned on me then that while I missed my father very much, the loss had come after 48 years of his devoted attention. What I had was a rare gift. Because of it, I would find my way back to myself. Not everyone was that lucky. - 31 - But the woman was still talking. “Seeing you up there having such a good time, it made me realise I've forgotten how to enjoy myself.” She made a show of jazz hands: "I'm going to remember to do this.” Six years on, I am the one buying wrapping paper in July and making my own Christmas cards. It might sound strange, but that generous conversation somehow gave me permission to get back to the serious business of enjoying life——and Christmas. Not only was it what my father would have wanted, but doing so could have a positive impact on others—even perfect strangers. 45. Christmas was complicated for the author as a child because . A. it was celebrated at a different time B. her parents couldn't afford decorations C. her parents had their own social customs D. it was reduced to being abandoned in his family 46. What was to blame for the author s tense parental relationship at Christmas? A. Mum's loss of job. B. A junior doctor's workload. C. Dad's absence from Christmas. D. Children' s curiosity about Santa. 47. Why did the author have a negative feeling towards Christmas in her youth? A Her father' s change touched her. B. She matured and lost interest in it. C. She was infected with an incurable disease. D. Her misfortunes always came with Christmas. 48. What does the author mean by saying "Christmas is non-negotiable” in Paragraph 7? A. She changed her attitude towards Christmas. B. She was fascinated with the merry atmosphere. C. Her father’ s sudden death was a heavy blow to her. D. She had to join in the celebration as a choir member. - 31 - 49. Why was the woman grateful to the author? A. She was inspired by the author. B. The author made her feel lucky. C. The author taught her how to dance. D. They were both in the same situation. 50. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. The woman' s remarks helped the author regain passion for life. B. The author makes Christmas gifts with paper to make a living. C. The author fails to live up to her father' s high expectations. D. Positive mind made little difference to people's well-being. 【答案】45. C 46. C 47. D 48. D 49. A 50. A 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者由于家庭因素和生活因素不喜欢圣诞节、消极生活,直到唱诗班小组的温暖际遇最终让她重拾对生活的热情。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“On the one hand, there was my Scottish mother, who went all -out for tradition. On the other hand, there was my Bengali (孟加拉)father. He was a reluctant participant in our Christmas celebration.”可知,母亲”go all-out”全力以赴庆祝圣诞,而父亲是”reluctant participant”不庆祝圣诞,可知作者的家长有各自不同的风俗习惯。故选C。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“He often had to work on Christmas Day, which would make Mum angry. My sister and I were largely unaware of this tension, thrilled to go to work with Dad and see actual Santa visiting sick children on the wards.”可知,作者的父亲总在圣诞节当天工作,导致母亲生气,所以”parental tension”的原因是父亲圣诞节的缺席。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“Things probably became worse in adulthood by the fact that bad events had a habit of happening to me at Christmas: losing a job, a breakup, a health emergency. My symptoms worsened and I gave up on sending cards or putting - 31 - up decorations.”可知,一些不快的事如”break-up, losing a job”总在圣诞节发生,导致作者对圣诞节产生了更多负面情绪。故选D。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第七段中“During that period,one of the only things that kept me sane (理智的)was weekly choir (唱诗班)practice. However, as anyone who has ever been in a choir knows, Christmas is non-negotiable.”可知,”non-negotiable”意为”不容商量的“,根据上下文,根据唱诗班的传统,圣诞节是必须要庆祝的。D选项有”不得不“的含义,能比其他项更为贴切的表达作者的心情。故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Seeing you up there having such a good time, it made me realise I've forgotten how to enjoy myself.” She made a show of jazz hands: "I'm going to remember to do this.”可知,女人说作者的快乐感染了她,提醒了她自己也要快乐起来。故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Six years on, I am the one buying wrapping paper in July and making my own Christmas cards. It might sound strange, but that generous conversation somehow gave me permission to get back to the serious business of enjoying life——and Christmas. Not only was it what my father would have wanted, but doing so could have a positive impact on others—even perfect strangers.”可知,看到当年与那位陌生女士的际遇使作者重燃对生活的希望,重新开始庆祝圣诞节。故选A。 第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文,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1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 The things we can really learn from books It's believed that everything you need to know you can find in a book. People have always received life-guiding wisdom from certain types of non-fiction, often from "self- help” books. But actually all sorts of books can carry this kind of wisdom. A random sentence in a thriller will give you unexpected insight. It is also believed that there is no book so bad that you can't find something of interest in it. That, actually, is a paraphrase (释义)from the Roman lawyer Pliny - 31 - the Younger, a viewpoint later adopted by Miguel de Cervantes in Don Quixote. Admittedly, neither Pliny nor Cervantes were subject to some of the weakest “sex and shopping” books from the 1980s, but people still think it mostly holds true. You can learn something from the very worst books—even if it is just how crass (粗鲁的)and base9 or boring and petty (琐碎的),or cruel and intolerant the human race can be. There is a proud tradition of extracting (摘录)lines from poetry and songs and using them in this way. But not everyone is a fan of cherry-picking odd passages from random books and using them to direct your life. Some people argue that lines from novels and plays are dependent on what surrounds them—that it's improper and self-serving to grab the odd line here and there. Others don't buy this. It ignores the way that your brain collects, refracts^ sorts and combines information. We can find meaning in everything—— and everything is fair game. We overschedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy; we keep up with hundreds of acquaintances but rarely see our best friends; we bombard ourselves with video clips and emails and instant messages; we even interrupt our interruptions. Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life in this world. We can't interrupt them; we can only interrupt ourselves while reading them. They speak to us, thoughtfully^ one at a time. They demand attention —they demand that we briefly put aside our work at hand and listen to someone else. You can rant (咆哮)against a book, scribble (涂鸦)in the margin, or even throw it out the window. Still, you won't change the words on the page. We all ask each other a lot of questions: "How did you sleep?” “Where did you go on your holidays?” But there’ s one question we should ask of one another a lot more often, and that is: "What are you reading?n When we ask one another that, we sometimes discover the ways we are similar; sometimes the ways that we are different. “What are you reading?”isn’t a simple question when asked with genuine curiosity; it' s really a way of finding out, “Who are you now and who are you becoming?

People have always received life-guiding wisdom from certain types of non-fiction, often from "self- help” books. But actually all sorts of books can carry this kind of wisdom. A random sentence in a thriller will give you unexpected insight”可知,所有知识你都能在书上找到,书带着这种知识且随便一句话就能给你意想不到的深刻见解。故填source(s)/ fountain(s)。 【52题详解】 词性转换题。根据第二段的第一句 “there is no book so bad that you cannot find something of interest in it”可知,此处应填interests/ benefits/ profits/ helps/ attracts。 【53题详解】 信息整合题。根据第三段“some people argue that…… 与 others do not buy this ”可知,这是对读书摘录的两种不同的看法,因此填attitudes/ responses/ reactions。 【54题详解】 信息捕捉题。根据第三段的第三句“lines from novels and plays are dependent on what surrounds them”可知,摘要不能离开书中背景,即上下文,故填context(s)。 【55题详解】 信息捕捉题。根据第三段倒数第二句“the way that your Brain collects, refracts, sorts and combines information”可知,大脑有能力去处理分析信息,故填handle/ process/ analyze/ analyse。 【56题详解】 信息捕捉题。根据第四段的第一句“we over-schedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy”可知,我们忙于各种交涉,根据固定搭配,故填engaged/ involved/ buried/ occupied/ lost。 【57题详解】 信息整合题。根据第五段文意,书能够使我们适应现代生活的脚步,敦促我们保持集中、安静倾听,无论我们怎样对待书,它上面的文字都不会改变,因此此段是在讲书的好处优点,故填Advantages/ Benefits/ Features/ Characteristics/ Strengths。 58题详解】 信息捕捉题。根据第五段第四句“they demand attention——……we put aside our work at - 31 - hand”可知,他们需要我们保持集中注意力,故填focused/ concentrated/ attentive。 【59题详解】 信息捕捉题。根据第五段第五句“you can rant against a book,scribble(涂鸦)in the margin, or even throw it out the window”可知,是我们如何对待这本书,故填treat/ handle。 【60题详解】 信息整合题。根据最后一段最后一句话“who are you now and who are you becoming,who are you”对应了我们要填的单词,而who are you becoming对应了ambition。你是谁,回答了你的身份,因此填identity/ identities。 第五部分 书面表达(满分25分) 61.请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。 Is youth lingo ruining the Chinese language? Young people often create their own language that goes beyond rigid linguistic rules. This year's latest slang (俚语) terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms (首字母缩略词). “Awsl,” in pinyin, for instance,means “Ah, wo si le” (Oh, I'm gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear. “Pyq” stands for “pengyou quan”,the social feed on the popular Chinese social media app WeChat, and “nsdd” stands for “ni shuo de dui” (you're right). Teens want to be different from their parents, so it's natural for them to create and use their own linguistic terms to show that. In doing so, young people are indeed driving linguistic change. They aren't the only factor influencing language development, but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate. Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of pinyin. As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them. The phenomenon has got a name in China: Character - 31 - amnesia (健忘症) 【写作内容】 1. 用约30个单词概述上文年轻人使用网络语言的现象; 2. 用约120个单词发表你的观点,内容包括: 谈谈你的看法,并用2〜3个理由或论据支撑你的看法。 【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句; 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称; 3. 不必写标题。 【评分标准】 内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Nowadays, young people often create some new slangs to differentiate themselves. However, with the rapid development of Internet lingo, many critics, especially the seniors, believe that the emergence of such lingo will damage the foundation of Chinese language. In my opinion, it is not necessary to worry about the new slang that will likely weaken the new generation’s capability of writing or remembering Chinese characters. There are two reasons. Firstly, the purpose of language is to convey ideas and share opinions. Thus, the prevailing youth lingo,as a more concise and efficient way of expression, is in fact an enrichment of modern Chinese language. Secondly, since every era has its own young generation,the youth lingo, can be a new indentity for young people ,cannot pollute or extinct Chinese language but by contrast, it may become an emblem or living fossil of this specific era. - 31 - To conclude, while language development is inevitable, Chinese internet lingo is unlikely to replace the existing use of Mandarin Chinese but will be enriching it by adding a new layer or dimension to it. 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇议论文。青少年希望与父母不同,所以他们自然会创造并使用自己的语言来表达这一点。年轻人这样做确实推动了语言的变化。它们并不是影响语言发展的唯一因素,但它们确实可以改变后代的交流方式。 【详解】第一步,明确任务。认真阅读命题,弄清任务和要求。很明显,任务一是“概括短文的内容要点”。注意:概括阶段并不需要加上个人的见解。任务二是“发表你的看法”。你可以同意或者反对文章观点,也可以对文章的各种观点进行折中。 第二步,概括转述所给的短文的大意。对短文进行概括是一个获取信息、加工信息的过程,需要严谥的思维和准确的表达能力,而且要使用自己的语言来表达,“不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子”。因此,“概括短文的内容要点”,实为客观简要地转述作者的观点、论据和结论。(Nowadays, young people often create some new slangs to differentiate themselves.
