celebrate a historic event.BTo advertise a special cruise.CTo introduce a travel agency.DTo explain a natural phenomenon.BCathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak（皮艇）down the Potomac River,continuing her voyage,the latest of her solo trips on major waterways.It was tough,but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else,empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the now.“Im in the moment,looking at the waves.”said Brennan.The journey is a minimalist style:sleeping bag,small tent,rain jacket,change of clothes,first aid kit,apples and cheese sticks.When shes thirsty,she scoops water from the rivers and pumps it through a filter.“I always drink the river,”she says.Brennan loves being on the rivers,seeing the bald eagles above,deer on the banks and a fascinating array of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes.However,every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and eat a cheeseburger.She ll also check in with her husband John,who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home.“Hes my virtual Sherpa with benefits,”Brennan says,laughing.She has a phone with her but rarely calls or texts anyone.Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder that sends them her location every 10minutes or so.Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and shes not reckless.Brennan grew up on a lake and was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age.When going through rough rapids,she watches the weather carefully.She is cautious about where she camps and who is around her.She has packed up her gear and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe.Surely,she is alone on these journeys but she isnt lonely.She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us.24What can be learned about Cathy Brennan from paragraph 1?AShe longs for calmness.BShe seeks inner peace.CShe is fond of travelling.DShe is tired of everyday housework.25Why does Brennan regard her husband as“virtual Sherpa with benefits”?ABecause he keeps track of her.BBecause he arranges the route for her.CBecause he accompanies her on the river.DBecause he contacts her with calls and texts.26What does the underlined word“reckless”in paragraph 4 mean?ACautious.BFearless.CAmbitious.DThoughtless.27How is Brennans kayak trip according to the passage?AOdd and instructive.BRomantic and thrillingCCostly and relaxingDTough and rewarding.C“Medicine,law,business,engineering,these are noble pursuits,and necessary to sustain life.But poetry,beauty,romance,love,these are what we stay alive for.”This is dedicated to my first-year self four years ago,who was addicted to getting good grades,and failed to seek the happiness found in everything else that college has to offer.Like some people,I grew up with a family that value d academics over all else,who gave you a little extra love when you were doing great in your classes,and took it away when you didnt.As a result,my self-worth became tied to my academic success.As an international student,I sometimes felt our parents didnt quite understand the heavy academic weight.There is a difference between trying to always better yourself for yourself,and simply putting too much on your plate until you burn out from attempting to live up to certain expectations.We should all strive to do the former,but unfortunately our mindsets have been always wired to follow the latter.I used to believe school killed the creative spirit inside all of us,but as I get older and further into my academic career,I find that it is we who make the choice to kill that creative spirit.I am definitely not saying that you should throw your GPA out of the window and go painting all day.However,we should all try to develop a long-sighted perspective on how we want to shape our lives.Take some classes on topics that youre genuinely interested in learning about,not just passing.Join clubs or work on projects that resonate with you and push you beyond your boundaries.And most of all,accept the fact that failure and loss are sometimes inevitable in life.I promise you,when you look back at these four years,you will not remember the good grades or the bad grades,but you will hold in your memory the connections you made with people,the things that inspired you to create and the times you learned something special.And so I ask you now,what do you want to get out of college?28Who is the author of the passage?AA professor.BA freshman.CA parent.DA graduate.29What did the authors parents stress most on his college life?ASeeking happiness.BGetting good grades.CBuilding self-worth.DDeveloping various interests.30What is bettering ourselves for according to the author?ATo be a better self.BTo realize our dreams.CTo push our boundaries.DTo live up to others expectations.31Which of the following may the author probably agree with?AAcademic growth helps to promote creativity.BStudents themselves have a say in their hobbies.CFailures can be avoided with more efforts put in.DSchool is to blame for killing students creativity.DChildren may learn new words better when they learn them in the context of other words they are just learning according to a new research from the University of East Anglia.Researchers investigated how 18-24-month-olds learn new words in the con text of words they already know well and those they dont.The findings help explain how children learn new words and suggest a new way that parents and carers could help boost language development.Previous research suggests that when children hear a word they do not know and see an object they have never seen in the con text of some objects that they can already name,such as a toy or a ball,they guess that the new word refers to the new thing.Dr.Larissa Samuelson from the university wanted to know if the strength of a childs knowledge of familiar things how well they know what“cars”or“balls”are,for example mattered for learning new words and remembering them.They asked 82 children to take part in the study and carry out two experiments among them.And then they got some really surprising findings.“We had expected that a stronger knowledge of familiar words would be better for learning new words,but we found the opposite was true.”Dr Samuelson said.“This new study suggests another way we might be able to help boost childrens ability to remember new word-object links-by teaching them in the context of other things that they are just learning.”It seems counterintuitive,but it is perhaps because the less well-known items dont compete with the new words as much.If they learn new words in the context of playing with well-known items such as a ball or book,they dont process the new word as much.32What is the purpose of the new research?ATo challenge the findings of previous studies.BTo observe the process of childrens learning.CTo better understand childrens word learning.DTo compare childrens different learning styles.33What can be inferred from Dr.Samuelsons words?ATheir findings are out of expectation.BTheir research should focus on children.CWe should be more patient with children.DWe need to provide guidance on learning.34What does the underlined word“counterintuitive”mean in the last paragraph?AConsistent.BEncouraging.CImpractical.DUnreasonable.35What does the text mainly tell us?ALess familiar words help children learn better.BWord-object links contribute to better learning.CNew research finds the secrets of raising children.DChildren learn better with the help of their parents第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，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。You may have seen them standing alone in a farmers field.With thin arms and a strange smile,they stand guard over the crops day and night.36 Scarecrows have been around since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians.Back then,farmers covered wooden frames with net s to protect wheat fields.37 Around 2500 BCE,the Greeks made the first human-like scarecrows.They added a face which was similar to that of the Greek god Priapus.38 The Romans later copied this design and brought it to Europe.Centuries after the Romans marched through Europe,people around the world were creating their own scarecrows.In Japan,scarecrows were shaped like people in raincoats and straw hats.In Germany,scarecrows were made to look like witches.39 In the oldest book of Japanese literature,The Kojiki,a scarecrow named Kuebiko appears.Though he cant walk,Kuebiko is a kind of all-knowing god.In the mid-19th century,writer Nathaniel Hawthorne brought scarecrows into literature with the short story“Feathertop.”I n this tale,a witch who prays to the Devil brings a scarecrow to life.Then there is the most famous scarecrow.His name is simply“Scarecrow,”and he appears in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.In the childrens novel,Scarecrow joins Dorothy,Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion on an adventure to meet the wizard of the magical land of Oz.40 Aside from these examples,scarecrows have featured in rock songs and as characters in comic books.On Halloween,they are brought out as scary decorations.Both practical and creepy,scarecrows continue to capture our imagination.AScarecrows appear everywhere in the world.BWe can never ignore the influence of stories about scarecrow.CThey are scarecrows,whose job has gone unchanged for thousands of years.DThey would hide in the wheat,and then jump out to scare birds into their nets.EThis was thought to be scary enough to keep birds away from their precious fields.FThroughout the years,scarecrows have made many appearances in popular culture.GScarecrow has appeared in films and plays around the world since the release of the book.第三部分第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分）分）第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。I grew
