Playa de Benijo is one of the fascinating beaches in Tenerife. The surface is a large area of black sand with rocky areas mixed in between.

Boston University was always my dream,but when it came to making the decision,I had to be sure that I was confident in my choice. Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston,its strong education programs,and the comfortable community. One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year. I had wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember,after all.
After just six short weeks,I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University. At Boston University,I attended an education program—ED 100. Each Wednesday,I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom.
Although I was a secondary education major,working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students. It was tiring,but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths (长处) and a little bit about each student apart from their studies.
As the weeks went on,I found myself further involved in (参与) more classroom activities,often helping students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class,I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved learning from other teachers,and taking note of their excellent teaching skills,some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom.
The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed (确认) my desire to become an educator. I have passion to work with children. I can’t wait to have my own classroom of students. I’m so happy that I’ve made the right decision to choose Boston University.

With the rise of technology, we’re experiencing an important change in our lives. But what exactly are the differences between a modern lifestyle and a traditional lifestyle
A traditional lifestyle is often defined by cultural and social standards passed down through generations(几代人). However, the modern lifestyle is characterized by a more personal approach, where personal freedom is often more important than traditional standards.
But the differences between the two go much deeper than just cultural standards. The way we live our daily lives has also changed greatly. Modern lifestyles are often characterized by technology-driven convenience. On the other hand, traditional lifestyles favor(青睐)a more simple approach to daily living.
So what does it mean to live a modern lifestyle, and how does it differ from a traditional one The development of communication methods is a heated topic that gives us insights into the rich history of mankind. Letters were once the primary means of communicating across great distances, and they held a special place in people’s hearts, sharing news of loved ones. Writing a letter was so amazing as it required thoughtful consideration.
As time passed and technology advanced, communication methods changed, and today we live in an age controlled by instant(即时的)messaging and social media. While these tools offer speed and convenience, they have damaged the depth of our relationships.
In our modern lifestyle, we’re connected in a real-time way, but sometimes we feel more disconnected than ever before. The instant messages can leave us feeling anxious, while the art of face-to-face conversation is in danger of being lost.
But it’s not all bad news. Technology has brought us closer in many ways, providing new forms of communication. Video calls, for example, have made it possible to meet with loved ones from anywhere in the world, creating a sense of community that was once impossible.
8. What does the underlined word “defined” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Doubted. B. Inspired. C. Shaped. D. Contacted.
9. What does the author think of letters
A. They have been out of date. B. They meant a lot to loved ones.
C. They make us disconnected. D. They changed the way we read.
10. What does the author want to say by mentioning instant messaging
A. It is a must to build a sense of community.
B Advances in technology make the old suffer.
C. We should live up to parents’ expectations.
D. People are becoming cold and indifferent.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. How a Modern Life Differs from a Traditional One
B. How We Can Get into a Conversation with Others
C. What Makes Our Lives Change Greatly
D. What the Traditional Lifestyle Was Like
D
Travel is predicted to look extremely different in 2070.
Take airports for example, paperwork will be a thing of the past. Instead of paper passports,your information will be stored in the cloud. This type of technology won’t just include what we are familiar with today——like fingerprints or face scans—but also your heartbeat, as everyone’s heartbeat is unique.
There will be no need to check in. The facial recognition programme will instead be able to recognise you, match you with your booked flight and send messages to your phone as you walk through the airport without stopping.
Your bags, especially the heavy ones, will be sent directly from your train or taxi to the right plane. And that taxi will not be like the ones we know today. People will be expected to travel to the airport--and around their holiday destinations-in eVTOLs, which refers to électric air taxis that can take off and land without a runway.
As for the trouble of packing, 3D printers will provide perfect solutions. Simply provide your destination with your size using a body scan before you fly and, upon arrival, you will find a wardrobe(衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes. When you leave, these clothes will be recycled and. reprinted for the next tourist. Not only will this solve the problem of packing, but also make holiday fashion more environment-friendly.
While the predictions might seem unbelievable now, you only have to look back 50 years to realize it’s all possible. Think back to 1973 when smartphones were just a wild dream. “Google” seemed like a made-up word then, and notebook computers were still almost years away from being invented. Similarly, when we look forward to the next 50 years, the possibilities for development in technology for travel are endless.
12. What can we learn about the check-in at the airport in 2070
A. You’ll have to carry your paper passports.
B. It won’t need your heartbeat information.
C. You must stop to check the phone for boarding.
D. It is no longer needed because of the facial recognition programme.
13. When you get to the destination, .
A. your bag will be sent to you by taxi
B. a body scan will work out your size
C. the clothes of your size will be ready for you
D. your packing may do harm to the environment
14. Why does the author mention 1973 in the last paragraph
A. To prove the predictions are possible.
B. To show the inventions are necessary.
C. To list the achievements of the year.
D. To express the confidence for travel.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. A new type of air taxi.。 B. Prediction for future of travel.
C. The advantage of 3D prints. D. The solution to future packing.

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mai Lin wasn’t doing well enough at school, or at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She wished she could do better.
“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the history teacher said. “Who can tell us what caused the War of 1812 ” Mai Lin sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hoped the teacher wouldn’t call her name. They hadn’t studied the War of 1812 at her old school and she didn’t know the answer.
“Alison ” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Mai Lin thought. Of course Alison would have the answer. She seemed to have all the answers. Alison was the most popular girl in school – always surrounded by millions of boyfriends, best friends, and others. She was like a brilliant sun.
Mai Lin hadn’t made one or two friends of her own so far. Her old school was small and low-key, but a shy person like Mai Lin had a chance there. This new school, however, seemed as big as an airport to Mai Lin, and it seemed very hard to get around in it. She still got lost sometimes in the school.
Mai Lin frowned (皱眉) as Alison answered the teacher’s question. Alison probably never got lost, Mai Lin thought to herself. You could probably put Alison down in the middle of a desert, and within five minutes she’d be able to tell you the best way to get home.
History class finally ended, and Mai Lin headed for the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alison, who was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very good at it. Beside her, Mai Lin felt like a very small and foolish ant. Today, however, the gym teacher pointed to a thick rope hanging from the ceiling and said, “Everybody! You’re going to climb this rope today.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing the teacher’s words, Mai Lin smiled.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mai Lin stepped forward and got close to the rope

Boston University was always my dream,but when it came to making the decision,I had to be sure that I was confident in my choice. Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston,its strong education programs,and the comfortable community. One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year. I had wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember,after all.
After just six short weeks,I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University. At Boston University,I attended an education program—ED 100. Each Wednesday,I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom.
Although I was a secondary education major,working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students. It was tiring,but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths (长处) and a little bit about each student apart from their studies.
As the weeks went on,I found myself further involved in (参与) more classroom activities,often helping students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class,I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved learning from other teachers,and taking note of their excellent teaching skills,some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom.
The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed (确认) my desire to become an educator. I have passion to work with children. I can’t wait to have my own classroom of students. I’m so happy that I’ve made the right decision to choose Boston University.

With the rise of technology, we’re experiencing an important change in our lives. But what exactly are the differences between a modern lifestyle and a traditional lifestyle
A traditional lifestyle is often defined by cultural and social standards passed down through generations(几代人). However, the modern lifestyle is characterized by a more personal approach, where personal freedom is often more important than traditional standards.
But the differences between the two go much deeper than just cultural standards. The way we live our daily lives has also changed greatly. Modern lifestyles are often characterized by technology-driven convenience. On the other hand, traditional lifestyles favor(青睐)a more simple approach to daily living.
So what does it mean to live a modern lifestyle, and how does it differ from a traditional one The development of communication methods is a heated topic that gives us insights into the rich history of mankind. Letters were once the primary means of communicating across great distances, and they held a special place in people’s hearts, sharing news of loved ones. Writing a letter was so amazing as it required thoughtful consideration.
As time passed and technology advanced, communication methods changed, and today we live in an age controlled by instant(即时的)messaging and social media. While these tools offer speed and convenience, they have damaged the depth of our relationships.
In our modern lifestyle, we’re connected in a real-time way, but sometimes we feel more disconnected than ever before. The instant messages can leave us feeling anxious, while the art of face-to-face conversation is in danger of being lost.
But it’s not all bad news. Technology has brought us closer in many ways, providing new forms of communication. Video calls, for example, have made it possible to meet with loved ones from anywhere in the world, creating a sense of community that was once impossible.

C. They make us disconnected. D. They changed the way we read.
10. What does the author want to say by mentioning instant messaging
A. It is a must to build a sense of community.
B. Advances in technology make the old suffer.
C. We should live up to parents’ expectations.
D. People are becoming cold and indifferent.

Travel is predicted to look extremely different in 2070.
Take airports for example, paperwork will be a thing of the past. Instead of paper passports,your information will be stored in the cloud. This type of technology won’t just include what we are familiar with today——like fingerprints or face scans—but also your heartbeat, as everyone’s heartbeat is unique.
There will be no need to check in. The facial recognition programme will instead be able to recognise you, match you with your booked flight and send messages to your phone as you walk through the airport without stopping.
Your bags, especially the heavy ones, will be sent directly from your train or taxi to the right plane. And that taxi will not be like the ones we know today. People will be expected to travel to the airport--and around their holiday destinations-in eVTOLs, which refers to électric air taxis that can take off and land without a runway.
As for the trouble of packing, 3D printers will provide perfect solutions. Simply provide your destination with your size using a body scan before you fly and, upon arrival, you will find a wardrobe(衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes. When you leave, these clothes will be recycled and. reprinted for the next tourist. Not only will this solve the problem of packing, but also make holiday fashion more environment-friendly.
While the predictions might seem unbelievable now, you only have to look back 50 years to realize it’s all possible. Think back to 1973 when smartphones were just a wild dream. “Google” seemed like a made-up word then, and notebook computers were still almost years away from being invented. Similarly, when we look forward to the next 50 years, the possibilities for development in technology for travel are endless.
12. What can we learn about the check-in at the airport in 2070
A. You’ll have to carry your paper passports.
B. It won’t need your heartbeat information.
C. You must stop to check the phone for boarding.
D. It is no longer needed because of the facial recognition programme.
13. When you get to the destination, .
A. your bag will be sent to you by taxi
B. a body scan will work out your size
C. the clothes of your size will be ready for you
D your packing may do harm to the environment
14. Why does the author mention 1973 in the last paragraph
A. To prove the predictions are possible.
B. To show the inventions are necessary.
C. To list the achievements of the year.
D. To express the confidence for travel.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. A new type of air taxi.。 B. Prediction for future of travel.
C. The advantage of 3D prints. D. The solution to future packing.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对未来旅行的预测。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“There will be no need to check in. The facial recognition programme will instead be able to recognise you, match you with your booked flight and send messages to your phone as you walk through the airport without stopping. (不需要办理登机手续。替代的是,面部识别程序将能够识别你,将你与你预订的航班相匹配,并在你不停车地穿过机场时向你的手机发送信息。)”可知,因为有了面部识别程序,2070年的机场办理登机手续不再需要了。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Simply provide your destination with your size using a body scan before you fly and, upon arrival, you will find a wardrobe(衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes. (只需在起飞前通过身体扫描向目的地提供你的尺寸,到达目的地后,你就会发现一个装满3D打印衣服的衣橱。)”可知,当你到达目的地时,适合您尺寸的衣服会为您准备好的。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代诗歌的特点和外国人对其的解读难度。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:一千多年前写的古诗更简单,写的是人们喜欢的爱情、浪漫和自然等常见的东西。这里为从句谓语动词,根据时间状语“a thousand or more years ago”可知,本句时态为一般过去时;主语为“that”,即先行词“ancient poetry”,单数,和动词“write”之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was written。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:尽管宋朝之后的时代创作了许多诗歌,但人们认为诗人变得越来越学术化,难以理解,以至于现代中国人无法欣赏其风格和意义。分析句子成分可知,空处为形容词担当表语。故填academic。
【38题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:对于外国人来说,中国古诗更难理解。这里为本句谓语动词,根据下文可知,本句时态为一般现在时;主语为“ancient Chinese poetry”,单数,谓语动词用单数。故填is。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:对于外国人来说,中国古诗更难理解。非谓语动词担当主语补足语,用动词不定式形式;构成固定句型:主语+be + adj.+ to do sth.。故填to comprehend。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:其中一个原因是汉字本身的性质。这里为反身代词担当同位语,指的是“Chinese characters”。故填themselves。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一个汉字往往有多种含义,这使得汉译英成为阅读和理解中国诗歌的关键部分。这里为定语从句的关系词,代指主句一句话,在非限制性定语从句中担当主语。用which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:简而言之,好的翻译是充分理解中国诗歌的必要条件。修饰动词understand用副词形式。故填fully。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国古代诗歌的另一个值得注意的地方是,它受到儒家和道家思想的影响。非谓语动词作worth后的宾语,用动名词形式,构成固定搭配:be worth doing,意为“值得……”。故填noticing。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:除了爱情和爱人,中国古诗还关注友谊。修饰单数可数名词,表示泛指,用不定冠词。lover首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:在这方面,中国诗歌是关于诗人的,关于诗人的“意义”,而不是关于诗人周围发生的事情。名词the poet前用介词形式,意为“关于”,用about。故填about。

【答案】Dear David,
I am Li Hua, the monitor of Class 6 Grade 3. Knowing more sports events will be carried out in our extra-curricular activities, I’d like to recommend two events on behalf of my class.
Most of us consider jogging is suitable for both boys and girls. Not only will it benefit our health but also is helpful to shape our body. As for the group game, football is much more popular than others, especially among boys. All the members learn to cooperate with each other so that they build up important qualities like responsibility and teamwork.

第二节 (满分 25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mai Lin wasn’t doing well enough at school, or at least she wasn’t satisfied with herself. She wished she could do better.
“Let’s review the material we learned in the last unit,” the history teacher said. “Who can tell us what caused the War of 1812 ” Mai Lin sat at her desk, staring ahead. She hoped the teacher wouldn’t call her name. They hadn’t studied the War of 1812 at her old school and she didn’t know the answer.
“Alison ” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Mai Lin thought. Of course Alison would have the answer. She seemed to have all the answers. Alison was the most popular girl in school – always surrounded by millions of boyfriends, best friends, and others. She was like a brilliant sun.
Mai Lin hadn’t made one or two friends of her own so far. Her old school was small and low-key, but a shy person like Mai Lin had a chance there. This new school, however, seemed as big as an airport to Mai Lin, and it seemed very hard to get around in it. She still got lost sometimes in the school.
Mai Lin frowned (皱眉) as Alison answered the teacher’s question. Alison probably never got lost, Mai Lin thought to herself. You could probably put Alison down in the middle of a desert, and within five minutes she’d be able to tell you the best way to get home.
History class finally ended, and Mai Lin headed for the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Alison, who was as tall and thin and attractive as a tree, was very good at it. Beside her, Mai Lin felt like a very small and foolish ant. Today, however, the gym teacher pointed to a thick rope hanging from the ceiling and said, “Everybody! You’re going to climb this rope today.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing the teacher’s words, Mai Lin smiled.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mai Lin stepped forward and got close to the rope.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Hearing the teacher’s words, Mai Lin smiled. She knew what was coming. They’d done lots of physical fitness training at her old school and she was quite good at rope climbing. “Who’s first ” the teacher asked. “Alison ” To Mai Lin’s surprise, Alison turned as pale as the moon and shook her head. “She’s scared,” Mai Lin thought. “Perfect Alison was scared.” Suddenly Mai Lin heard her own voice saying, “I’ll do it.” Alison looked up at Mai Lin in great surprise, and all the other classmates seemed surprised, too. The teacher nodded and told Mai Lin to climb.
Paragraph 2:
Mai Lin stepped forward and got close to the rope. She appeared calm but was extremely excited. She climbed the rope very fast and reached the ceiling within what seemed a few seconds, effortlessly. As she reached the top, she glanced down at her fellow students below. Now it was Alison who appeared like a small ant. She saw Alison looking up, eyes wide with admiration. Mai Lin clung to the top of the rope for a moment longer and then headed down to join the class. Once she got on the ground, everybody cheered. Mai Lin knew she would be different from that day on.
