Look, I’m not a happy crier. I might cry at songs about leaving and missing someone; I might cry at books where things don’t work out; I might cry at movies where someone dies. I’ve just never really understood why people get all choked up over happy, inspirational things. But Michelle Obama’s kindness and empathy (同情) changed that. This book had me in tears for all the right reasons.
This is not really a book about politics, though political experiences obviously do come into it. It’s a shame that some will dismiss this book because of a difference in political opinion, when it is really about a woman’s life. About growing up poor and black on the South Side of Chicago; about getting married and struggling to maintain that marriage; about motherhood; about being thrown into an amazing and terrifying position.
I hate words like “inspirational” because they’ve become so overdone and cheese (俗气的), but I just have to say it —Michelle Obama is an inspiration. I had the privilege of seeing her speak at The Forum in Inglewood, and she is one of the warmest, funniest, smartest, down-to-earth people I have ever seen in this world.
And yes, I know we present what we want the world to see, but I truly do think it’s genuine. I think she is someone who really cares about people —especially kids— and wants to give them better lives and opportunities.
She’s obviously intelligent, but she also doesn’t gussy up her words. She talks straight, with an openness and honesty rarely seen. She’s been one of the most powerful women in the world, she’s been a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, she’s had her own successful career, and yet she has remained throughout that same girl —Michelle Robinson—from a working class family in Chicago.
I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t benefit from reading this book.
5. What is the main focus of Michelle’s book
A. Her political experiences and opinions. B. Her personal life and experiences.
C. Her achievements as a powerful woman. D. Her efforts to motivate others.
6. Why does the author dislike the word “inspirational”
A. It is overused and insincere. B. It reminds them of cheese books.
C. It is associated with political opinions. D. It is inapplicable to Michelle Obama.
7. What does the underlined phrase “gussy up” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Forgets. B. Regret. C. Beautify. D. Swallow.
8. Which of the following can best describe Michelle Obama’s character
A. Bossy and aggressive B. Humble and honest.
C. Distant and image-loving. D. Ambitious and career-driven.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了Michelle Obama的书描述她的个人生活与经历，作者在读完这本书后，因Michelle Obama善良和同理心而流泪。作者高度赞扬了Michelle Obama，她是作者在这个世界上见过的最热情、最有趣、最聪明、最脚踏实地的人之一。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is not really a book about politics, though political experiences obviously do come into it. It’s a shame that some will dismiss this book because of a difference in political opinion, when it is really about a woman’s life. About growing up poor and black on the South Side of Chicago; about getting married and struggling to maintain that marriage; about motherhood; about being thrown into an amazing and terrifying position.(这并不是一本真正关于政治的书，尽管其中显然包含政治经历。遗憾的是，有些人会因为政治观点的不同而对这本书不屑一顾，而实际上这本书实际上是关于一位女性的生活。关于在芝加哥南区贫穷和黑人的成长；关于结婚并努力维持婚姻；关于母性；关于被扔到一个令人惊奇和可怕的位置。)”可知，这本书并不是一本真正关于政治的书，而是关于Michelle这位女性生活的书，介绍了她的成长，个人生活以及经历，由此可推知，这本书是在描述她的个人生活与经历，故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I hate words like “inspirational” because they’ve become so overdone and cheese(我讨厌“鼓舞人心”这样的词，因为它们已经变得过分使用而且俗气)”可知，作者讨厌“inspirational”这个词，是因为这个词已经被过多使用且俗气，即这个词很虚伪，故选A。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“She talks straight, with an openness and honesty rarely seen.(她说话直来直去，带着罕见的坦诚和诚实)”可知，她说话很真诚，直来直去，不会夸夸其谈，即不会美化自己的语言，由此可知，画线短语gussy up意为“美化”，与C项“Beautify.(美化)”意思一样，故选C。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“She’s obviously intelligent, but she also doesn’t gussy up her words. She talks straight, with an openness and honesty rarely seen. (她显然很聪明，但她也不夸夸其谈。她说话直率，带着罕见的开放和诚实。)”可知，Michelle Obama很真诚，根据该段中“She’s been one of the most powerful women in the world, she’s been a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, she’s had her own successful career, and yet she has remained throughout that same girl —Michelle Robinson—from a working class family in Chicago.(她是世界上最有权势的女性之一，她毕业于普林斯顿大学和哈佛法学院，她拥有自己成功的职业生涯，但她始终是那个来自芝加哥工人阶级家庭的女孩——米歇尔·罗宾逊。)”可知，她虽然很成功，但是仍然不忘初心，这说明她很谦虚，故选B。
C
A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that young children between the ages of 3 and 5 can improve their musical abilities, especially in understanding musical pitches (音高) , when learning Mandarin, compared to those who speak English.
This research challenges the idea that our mental abilities are entirely separate from each other. It suggests that the skills children learn in one area can influence their learning in another. This raises-questions about how our mental abilities relate to each other.
The study involved two experiments with similar groups of Mandarin and English learners, totaling 180 children. They were tested on tasks related to pitch (high or low notes)and timbre (音色) (the quality of sound). Both groups performed similarly on the task related to timbre. However, Mandarin speakers performed better than English speakers on tasks related to pitch.
Mandarin is a tonal language, which means the tone (音调) used when saying a word can change its meaning, not just add emphasis. For example, the Mandarin word “ma” can mean “mother,” “horse,” “hem (麻),” or “scold,” depending on how it’s spoken. This focus on pitch helps young Mandarin speakers understand musical pitches better. Since both language and music involve changes in pitch, the study aimed to find out if understanding pitch in language is different from understanding it in music. The results suggest that experience with understanding musical pitches can also help in understanding language pitches, and vice versa.
While learning Mandarin might offer an advantage due to its tonal nature, it’s important to note that the study doesn’t suggest replacing music lessons with language lessons or the other way around. Learning another language has many benefits, and music education remains important for musical skills.
In summary, this is an extremely valuable research, highlighting the connections between cognitive (认知的) skills and emphasizes the value of exposing children to different languages and providing them with musical education for their overall development.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the concept of musical pitches.
B. To offer the research result to be discussed.
C. To present the University of California San Diego.
D. To share a fact about children’s language development.
10. What is the challenged idea according to paragraph 2
A. The benefits of musical education. B. The difficulty of learning Mandarin.
C The separation of children’s skills. D. The importance of speaking English.
11. What is compared between Mandarin and English learners
A. Tonal perception. B. Language abilities.
C. Musical performances. D. Knowledge development.
12. What is the advantage of learning Mandarin
A. Improving mental health. B. Replacing music education.
C. Developing musical abilities. D. Bettering timbre perception.
13. What is the author’s attitude towards this study
A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
【答案】9. B 10. C 11. A 12. C 13. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了加州大学圣地亚哥分校最近的一项研究表明，与那些说英语的孩子相比，3至5岁的孩子在学习普通话时可以提高他们的音乐能力，尤其是在理解音高方面。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that young children between the ages of 3 and 5 can improve their musical abilities, especially in understanding musical pitches , when learning Mandarin, compared to those who speak English.(加州大学圣地亚哥分校最近的一项研究表明，与那些说英语的孩子相比，3至5岁的孩子在学习普通话时可以提高他们的音乐能力，尤其是在理解音高方面。)”可知，第一段的写作目的是为了提供研究结果供讨论。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This research challenges the idea that our mental abilities are entirely separate from each other.(这项研究挑战了我们的心理能力是完全独立的这一观点。)”可知，被挑战的观点是儿童技能的分离能力。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They were tested on tasks related to pitch (high or low notes)and timbre(the quality of sound). Both groups performed similarly on the task related to timbre. However, Mandarin speakers performed better than English speakers on tasks related to pitch.( 他们接受了与音高(高音或低音)和音色(声音质量)有关的测试。两组在音色相关的任务上表现相似。然而，说普通话的人比说英语的人在音高相关的任务上表现得更好。)”和文章第五段“While learning Mandarin might offer an advantage due to its tonal nature(虽然学习普通话可能会因为它的调性而有优势)”可知，汉语学习者和英语学习者有调性认知的比较。故选A。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that young children between the ages of 3 and 5 can improve their musical abilities, especially in understanding musical pitches , when learning Mandarin, compared to those who speak English.(加州大学圣地亚哥分校最近的一项研究表明，与那些说英语的孩子相比，3至5岁的孩子在学习普通话时可以提高他们的音乐能力，尤其是在理解音高方面。)”和第四段“This focus on pitch helps young Mandarin speakers understand musical pitches better.(这种对音高的关注有助于说普通话的年轻人更好地理解音乐的音高。)”可推知，学习普通话的优势是有助于发展音乐能力。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In summary, this is an extremely valuable research, highlighting the connections between cognitive skills and emphasizes the value of exposing children to different languages and providing them with musical education for their overall development.(总之，这是一项非常有价值的研究，突出了认知技能之间的联系，强调了让孩子接触不同语言的价值，并为他们提供全面发展的音乐教育。)”可推知，作者对这项研究的态度是赞成的。故选B。

C. has been repaid D. was repaid
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：不要担心，你现在付出的努力在以后一定会有所回报。根据句子末尾出现的时间状语later in life意为在以后的生活中，可以判断为将来时态，主语The hard work与谓语为被动关系。故选A。
35. I still remember the farm ________ my parents worked ten years ago.
A. when B. that C. where D. which
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我仍然记得十年前我父母工作的那个农场。分析句子结构可知，此处为连词引导的定语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，所以使用关系副词，先行词the farm意为“农场”表地点，所以使用where。故选C项。
36. When I am travelling, I always take something in case I am hungry.
A. to eat B. eaten C. eating D. eat
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当我旅行时，我总是带些吃的东西以防我饿了。分析句子结构可知eat在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处修饰不定代词something，应用不定式作后置定语。故选A。

A will have B. have
C. had D. had had
【答案】B
【解析】

38. The reason ________ he didn’t come was that he was held up in a traffic jam.
A. why B. what C. which D. that
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：他之所以没有来，是因为堵车了。________he didn’t come是定语从句，修饰先行词the reason，且关系词在从句中作原因状语，应用关系副词why引导定语从句，故选A。
39. Was it through your English teacher, ______ likes literary works, ______ you got to know the Bronte sisters
A. who; who B. who; which C. that; which D. who; that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和强调句。句意：你是通过你那个喜欢文学作品的老师而了解勃朗特姐妹的吗？根据句子分析可知，空1：此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为 your English teacher，指人，且定语从句中缺少主语，故应用who引导；空2：此处为强调句的一般疑问句，句式为was it+被强调部分+that+其他，此处强调through your English teacher，故填that。故选D。
40. -That can't be! They______for forty minutes but no one has scored a goal yet．
-Too bad! It's almost half-time．
A. had played B. played
C. have been playing D. were playing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查现在完成进行时。句意：——那不可能！他们已经四十分钟了还没有人进球。——太糟糕了，时间快过一半了。根据for forty minutes 可知他们已经进行了四十分钟了还没进球，再根据下句 It's almost half-time可知还要进行下去，所以要用现在完成进行时表示“表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作，并且还将持续下去”的动作，所以C符合语境，故选C。
41. He must be from a rich family, ______ can be seen from his dressing.
A. that B. as C. it D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：正如从他的穿着所见，他一定是来自一个富裕的家庭。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整句话，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词as引导，表示“正如”之意，故选B。
42. Water is really crucial to us human beings, ______ we couldn’t live.
A. without it B. without that C. without which D. if not
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：水对我们人类来说是至关重要的，没有它我们就无法生存。根据常识可知，没有水我们无法生存，“没有”用without，先行词Water是物，因此空格处用without which引导定语从句，故选C。
43. George _________ too far. His coffee is still warm.
A. must have gone B. might have gone
C. can’t have gone D. needn’t have gone
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词+have done。句意：乔治不可能走得太远。他的咖啡仍然是温的。can’t have done一定不可能做了某事；must have done过去一定做了某事；might have done过去可能做了某事；needn’t have done过去本不必做某事。故选C。
【点睛】熟练掌握情态动词的用法，对准确理解语法填空、完形填空、阅读理解、听力理解中含有情态动词的句子是很有益处的，并且在写作中也可能会用到情态动词。因此，我们应当学好情态动词，尤其要掌握好常用情态动词的用法。“情态动词+have done”的用法：情态动词无论是表达“推测和可能性”，还是表达“虚拟”这一概念，只要是表达过去已经发生的事情，一律用“情态动词+have done”这一结构；表达现在或将来发生的事情，用“情态动词+动词/系动词原形”。注意不同的情态动词和have done搭配的含义。表示推测的can have done一般用于疑问句和否定句中。
44. The old man asked the military officer everything ______ he saw at the front.
A. that B. which C. what D. all what
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：老人问军官他在前线看到的一切。分析句子可知，这里考查定语从句，先行词everything，为不定代词，在从句中作宾语，所以关系词只能用that。故选A项。
45. Football is fun enough________millions of people.

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：足球的精彩程度足以吸引数百万的人。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：sth.+be+形容词+to do意为“某物做……是……”。故选C项。
46. I am writing to apply for a volunteer of the Chinese Painting Exhibition _______ next month.
A. to be held B. being held C. held D. is to be held
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我写信想要申请成为下个月要举行的中国画画展的一名志愿者。分析句子结构，空格处作后置定语；结合句中时间状语next month可知，该空格处应使用动词不定式，描述将来发生的动作，且提示动词hold“举行”与其逻辑主语Exhibition之间为被动关系，应使用to be done形式，意为“下个月举办的中国画画展”，故选A。
47. The man hurried to the airport, only ________ the plane had already taken off.
A. to find B. to be found C. finding D. found
【答案】A

第三节 读后续写(满分15分)
65. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During the 25 years we’ve lived in our home, many cats have appeared on my porch (门廊), gazing through the glass door, silently begging for food. Well, what can I do Certainly not ignore their lovely faces. Even as my husband says “Don’t feed these cats, Caren,” I am opening the door, with cat food bag in hand. These cats usually stay a few days, maybe a couple months before disappearing into the woods.
One evening while feeding the horses, I saw something move. I turned just in time to glimpse a black tail disappearing under our shed (小棚). Later, I saw a skinny young cat sneak around and finish the leftovers. The next time I saw her, she had a companion, a black male cat. I made sure to put out enough food for the both of them.
Pretty soon, they were appearing at dinnertime with our other cats. I named them Minnie and Freddy. I would give them food in separate containers, but they would walk up and down until I went back inside. Then, with no human near, they would devour their meals. This went on for a couple of weeks. One day, Freddy didn’t show up. We never saw him again.
But Minnie kept sticking around our room, dividing time between the shed and the porch. She was no longer skinny and looked quite nicely. I congratulated myself on her newfound health. However, she kept gaining weight —especially around her middle. Yup, she was pregnant (怀孕的).
注意：续写词数应为90词左右。
We fixed up a small place in the shed for Minnie.

Look, I’m not a happy crier. I might cry at songs about leaving and missing someone; I might cry at books where things don’t work out; I might cry at movies where someone dies. I’ve just never really understood why people get all choked up over happy, inspirational things. But Michelle Obama’s kindness and empathy (同情) changed that. This book had me in tears for all the right reasons.
This is not really a book about politics, though political experiences obviously do come into it. It’s a shame that some will dismiss this book because of a difference in political opinion, when it is really about a woman’s life. About growing up poor and black on the South Side of Chicago; about getting married and struggling to maintain that marriage; about motherhood; about being thrown into an amazing and terrifying position.
I hate words like “inspirational” because they’ve become so overdone and cheese (俗气的), but I just have to say it —Michelle Obama is an inspiration. I had the privilege of seeing her speak at The Forum in Inglewood, and she is one of the warmest, funniest, smartest, down-to-earth people I have ever seen in this world.
And yes, I know we present what we want the world to see, but I truly do think it’s genuine. I think she is someone who really cares about people —especially kids— and wants to give them better lives and opportunities.
She’s obviously intelligent, but she also doesn’t gussy up her words. She talks straight, with an openness and honesty rarely seen. She’s been one of the most powerful women in the world, she’s been a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, she’s had her own successful career, and yet she has remained throughout that same girl —Michelle Robinson—from a working class family in Chicago.
I don’t think there’s anyone who wouldn’t benefit from reading this book.
5. What is the main focus of Michelle’s book
A. Her political experiences and opinions. B. Her personal life and experiences.
C. Her achievements as a powerful woman. D. Her efforts to motivate others.
6. Why does the author dislike the word “inspirational”
A. It is overused and insincere. B. It reminds them of cheese books.
C It is associated with political opinions. D. It is inapplicable to Michelle Obama.
7. What does the underlined phrase “gussy up” in paragraph 5 mean
A Forgets. B. Regret. C. Beautify. D. Swallow.
8. Which of the following can best describe Michelle Obama’s character
A Bossy and aggressive B. Humble and honest.
C. Distant and image-loving. D. Ambitious and career-driven.
C
A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals that young children between the ages of 3 and 5 can improve their musical abilities, especially in understanding musical pitches (音高) , when learning Mandarin, compared to those who speak English.
This research challenges the idea that our mental abilities are entirely separate from each other. It suggests that the skills children learn in one area can influence their learning in another. This raises-questions about how our mental abilities relate to each other.
The study involved two experiments with similar groups of Mandarin and English learners, totaling 180 children. They were tested on tasks related to pitch (high or low notes)and timbre (音色) (the quality of sound). Both groups performed similarly on the task related to timbre. However, Mandarin speakers performed better than English speakers on tasks related to pitch.
Mandarin is a tonal language, which means the tone (音调) used when saying a word can change its meaning, not just add emphasis. For example, the Mandarin word “ma” can mean “mother,” “horse,” “hem (麻),” or “scold,” depending on how it’s spoken. This focus on pitch helps young Mandarin speakers understand musical pitches better. Since both language and music involve changes in pitch, the study aimed to find out if understanding pitch in language is different from understanding it in music. The results suggest that experience with understanding musical pitches can also help in understanding language pitches, and vice versa.
While learning Mandarin might offer an advantage due to its tonal nature, it’s important to note that the study doesn’t suggest replacing music lessons with language lessons or the other way around. Learning another language has many benefits, and music education remains important for musical skills.
In summary, this is an extremely valuable research, highlighting the connections between cognitive (认知的) skills and emphasizes the value of exposing children to different languages and providing them with musical education for their overall development.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the concept of musical pitches.
B. To offer the research result to be discussed.
C To present the University of California San Diego.
D. To share a fact about children’s language development.
10. What is the challenged idea according to paragraph 2

第三节 读后续写(满分15分)
65. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During the 25 years we’ve lived in our home, many cats have appeared on my porch (门廊), gazing through the glass door, silently begging for food. Well, what can I do Certainly not ignore their lovely faces. Even as my husband says “Don’t feed these cats, Caren,” I am opening the door, with cat food bag in hand. These cats usually stay a few days, maybe a couple months before disappearing into the woods.
One evening while feeding the horses, I saw something move. I turned just in time to glimpse a black tail disappearing under our shed (小棚). Later, I saw a skinny young cat sneak around and finish the leftovers. The next time I saw her, she had a companion, a black male cat. I made sure to put out enough food for the both of them.
Pretty soon, they were appearing at dinnertime with our other cats. I named them Minnie and Freddy. I would give them food in separate containers, but they would walk up and down until I went back inside. Then, with no human near, they would devour their meals. This went on for a couple of weeks. One day, Freddy didn’t show up. We never saw him again.
But Minnie kept sticking around our room, dividing time between the shed and the porch. She was no longer skinny and looked quite nicely. I congratulated myself on her newfound health. However, she kept gaining weight —especially around her middle. Yup, she was pregnant (怀孕的).
注意：续写词数应为90词左右。
We fixed up a small place in the shed for Minnie.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, our family grew not only with Minnie but also with her adorable babies, creating a harmonious and loving environment for all of us to cherish(珍惜).
