文体属夹叙夹议：作者通过与一名高中生的对话，已发了她对“残疾”定义和残疾人现状的深刻思考。
My name is Stella Young. I grew up in a very small country town in Victoria. I had a very normal, low-key低调的kind of upbringing成长；教养（24）. I went to school; I hung out with my friends; I fought with my younger sisters. It was all very normal. And when I was 15, a member of my local community approached my parents and wanted to submit my name for a community achievement award. My parents said, “Hmm, that’s really nice, but there’s kind of (口头禅：似乎） one obvious problem with that. She hasn’t actually achieved anything.” And they were right. You know I went to school, I got good marks, and I had a very low-key after-school job in my mum’s hairdressing salon理发店.
Years later, I was on my second teaching round in a Melbourne high school, and I was about 20 minutes into a year-11 Legal Studies class when a boy put up his hand and said, “Hey Miss, when are you going to start your speech?”
And I said, “What speech?”
And he said, “You know, like, your motivational speaking. You know, when people in wheel chairs come to school, they usually say, like, inspirational stuff. It’s usually in the big hall.”
And that was the moment I realized that this kid had only ever experienceddisabled people as objects (工具）of inspiration.
For lots of us, disabled people are not our teachers or our doctors. We’re not real people. We are there to inspire. Yeah, we’ve been sold the lie that disability is a bad thing, and to live with a disability makes youexceptional异常的.（25）
It’s not a bad thing, and itdoesn’t make you exceptional. And in the past fewyears, we’ve been able to spread this lie even further through social media.
Life as a disabled person is actually somewhat difficult. We do overcome somethings. But they have nothing to do with our bodies(26). I use the term “disabled people”purposely, because I subscribe to what’s called the social model of disability. This model tells us that we are more disabled by the society that we live in than by our bodies and our diagnoses (诊断)(26).
I want to live in a world where we don’t havesuchlow expectations of disabled people that we are congratulated for getting out of bed and remembering our own names in the morning. I want to live in a world where we value disabled people’s real achievement. And I want to live in aworld where a year-11 kid in a Melbourne high school is notone bitsurprised that his new teacher is a wheelchair user.
24. What can we learn from Stella Young in the first paragraph?
A. She couldn’t get along well with her friends and sisters.
B.Shepl ayed a key role at her mum’s hair-dressing salon.
C.She received anaward for a great achievement.

议论文：主题----音乐家和音乐产业走入了歧途！
Music is a powerful thing.It awakens feelings and has the powerto bring people together. But today, artists are not known for their music, but for how flashy奢华的their clothingis and how many times their wealthy relatives can get them out of jail (监狱). And thus, their music is lost 迷失.
Pop and rap music has developed into a shallow, image-addicted迷恋形象的industry thatlines up with与…为伍 what the public wants to hear and see, removing the focus on the actual music. Mainstream主流的music is no longer composed of emotion, but instead, themes of money and fame（29）. Photos and rumors fly whilethe music isignored.
Not all musical groups or individual artists begin like this.Many of these artistsare original（28）and talented, but turn to the money side（29）. Often their songs are written by experts who know what is appealing to a certain age group, and the musicians’ faces can be seen on countless magazine covers. Soon their supposedly new and improved songs can be heard blasting out of car windows. But these songs are totally empty,lacking creativity and the original thirst of the artist to make an impact or convey (传递) a message（28/29）.
MTV is not helping. It plays only what the publicwants to hear. And unfortunately, the majority seems interested in eithersickly sweet甜腻得令人作呕,generic无商标的/粗制滥造的pop or stereotypical (刻板的), bleeped-out成噪音的rap. Kids and teens everywhere are swimming in these songs, which are often degrading对…贬低 to women and minorities, and inappropriate.
Almost all the girls in my dorm are addicted to the same songs. This was the case the previous year, and the year before that. Whenever I try to play music I enjoy, or introduce them to some decent正派/体面的 songs, they say that everyone except me likes their music.
Why do most teenagers only listen to pop and rap music when so many other types exist?（30）Maybe it’s because everywhere welook,weare bombarded with(被….轰炸)the same music: on the radio, on TV, on the computer. At school, pop and rap are discussed all the time. Perhaps they have never listened to anything else. Or maybepeer pressureis partof it (it?).
There is no solution to the “pop problem”. It’s called popular for a reason—many people enjoy it. There’s no easy way to change their views. My suggestion is not to buy music like this when you can explore something new (30).Expand yourhorizons.Digup your parents’ old records and CDs. You never know what you might find(30).
28. The author probably prefers________.
A. new pop songs meant for girls
B.original songs with deep meaning
C. catchy songs produced by popular singers
D.never-heard-before songs just recently discovered
29.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many artists trade creativity for wealth and fame.
B. The public is responsible for the existence of music.
C. MTV promotes the songs favored by women and minorities.
D. Musicians singing about money is an ineffective way to attract fans.
30. What is most probably the author’s suggestion for young people?A. Try to respect yourpeers’music tastes.
B. Deal with the “pop problem” patiently.
C. Expose yourself to various music styles.
D. Treasure the music from previous generations.

说明文：介绍美国航空航天局实施的双小行星重定向测试任务的意义和原理。
NASA will crash（用...去撞击） a spacecraf tinto anasteroid (小行星) to try to change its orbit,attempting to prevent humans going the same way as thedinosaurs.
Earth is constantly being disturbed by small pieces of debris (碎片), but they usually burn up or break up long before they hit the ground. Once in a while, however, something large enough to do significant damage makes impact. About 66 million years ago, one such crash is thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs. Someday, something similar could end human beings—unless we can find a way to tackle it.(31)
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (Dart)双小行星重定向测试 mission is the first attempt totest if such asteroidredirection is a realistic strategy: investigating whether a spacecraft can autonomously reach a target asteroid and intentionally crash into it, as well as measuringthe amount ofredirection. “If it works, it would be a big deal, because it would prove that we have the technical capability of protecting ourselves,” said JayTate, the director主任of the National Near Earth Object Information Center.
The 610kg Dart spacecraft is scheduled to be launched at the target—the Didymos system—a harmless pair of asteroids consisting of a 163-metre “moonlet小卫星”asteroid called Dimorphos that orbits a larger 780-metre asteroid called Didymos (Greek for “twin”). The plan is to crash the spacecraft into Dimorphos（32） when the asteroid system is at its closest to Earth—about 6.8 million miles away.
About 10 days before impact, a miniaturized微型的 satellite called LiciaCube will separate from the main spacecraft, enabling images of the impact tobe relayed backto Earth（33）. Combined with observations from ground-based telescopes, and an onboardcamera that will record thefinal momentsbefore the crash, these recordings will enable scientists to calculate the degree to which the impact has changed Dimorphos’s orbit. The expectation is that it will change the speed of the smaller asteroid by approximately 1% and reduce its orbit around the larger asteroid.
Then, in November2024 ,the European Space Agency’s Hera spacecraft will visit the Didymos system and conduct a further close-up analysis of the consequences of this snooker(斯诺克) game, recording details such as the precise makeup and internal structure of Dimorphos, and the size and shape of the hole left by Dart. Such details are vital for transforming asteroid redirection into a repeatable technique.
Even then, it is impossible that any single redirection strategy would be enough（34）.“The problem is that no two asteroids or comets are alike, and how you redirect one depends on a huge number of variables（变量）. There is no silver bullet杀手锏/灵丹妙药in this game. What you need is a whole folder of一揽子different redirection methods for different types of targets,（34）”said Tate.
So, while this may be one small step towards planetary protection, many more are likely to be necessary to avoid destruction.
31.What is the purpose of Paragraph2?
A.To examine the impact of dinosaurs’extinction.
B.To explain the necessity of launching a spacecraft.
C.To show the damage caused by small pieces of debris.
D.To highlight the crisis threatening human beings at present.
32. Which of the following pictures illustrates the mission?
-
32.答案：D （通过第4-5两段获取相关信息）
-
Sending impact data back to Earth.
-
Calculating the length of Dimorphos’s orbit.
-
Helping the satellite separate from the spacecraft.
-
Recording the scientists’ ground-based observations.
34.What does the underlined sentence “There is no silver bullet in this game” mean?
-
There is no challenge too big to overcome.
-
There is no possibility to satisfy NASA’s needs.
-
.There is no single so lution to the complex problem.
-
D.There is no strategy to help make an obvious decision.
第二节（共 5小题；每小题2分，共 10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
人类看到某些东西感到恶心的感受在人类进化和人类维持健康方面的积极意义。但也是一把双刃剑。
Usually when someone is disgusted恶心的 by something, he feels it is unpleasant and stays away from it, so disgust mostly protects people from getting sick. However, getting a little dirty can have its advantages. Studies show that kids under age one who physically interact with a dog will have a 13% reduction in the likelihood of developingasthma哮喘, a breathing problem.
In the late 1860s, Charles Darwin proposed提出that being disgusted could have adevelopmental purpose发展的目的.35 FHe guessed that the early humans most likely to feel disgusted survived to pass on their genes (基因), while the more nutritionally daring died off.
36 D It wasn’tuntil the early1990s, a time when gameshows eagerly slimed（对…泼洒粘液）contestants选手, that disgust got more attention in psychological and behavioral research. Since then,scientists have identified different types of disgust and have explored how they affect the way we behave.
The research shows that Darwin was basically right:disgust is a major part of the behavioral immune system that protects people from disease, a collection of actions influenced by some of the most natural reactions that keep our bodies in superior condition. We already know that not all germs(病菌) are bad for us. 37 A Science also tells us that getting a bit dirty helps people more readily fight disease.
G 39Disgust is part of society’s balance. Too little, and we might get sick.Too much of it can harm our health. Figuring out this complex problemcould help researchers understanda variety of human behaviors.
A. They work with our body to maintain a balance.
B. They were quite certain that being disgusted could benefit people.
C. Nobody is quite sure whether disgust is a positive or negative thing.
D. For many years afterward, though, scientists didn’t pay much attention to disgust.
E.What he means is that it’s also associated with dislike for unfamiliart hings, like food.
F. Disgust became advanced to prevent our ancestors from eating spoiled food that might kill them.
G. Researchers across fields continue to explore disgust so we can better understand our world and ourselves.
第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共 4小题；第 40、41题各 2分，第 42题 3分，第 43题 5分， 共 12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
简介一项关于能否轻易单方面终止与他人的对话的研究。
A new study asks the question: Do conversations end when people want them to?
The answer is no.
Thestudyincludedtwoparts.
The first part was an online survey that asked 806 people whether there was a moment recently they had wanted to end a conversation with a close friend and to estimate when that moment was in relation to when the talk reached its conclusion.The second part involved 252 people paired up with strangers in a lab to chat about whatever they felt like foranywhere between one and 45 minutes.
67 percent of the respondents in the first part of the study said they wanted the conversation to end before it actually did, and most had secretly wished the chat had been either 50 percent longer or 50 percent shorter than it was.
“Whateveryou think the other person wants, you maywellbe wrong,” says Adam Mastroianni, a psychology researcher at Harvard University and the study’s lead author. “So you might as well leave when it seems appropriate, because it’s better to be left wanting more than less.”
In the second part of the study, nearly 70 percent of the people reported wanting the conversation to be over before it ended. Just two percent of the conversationswrapped up（ended）at a time both people were happy with, and 30 percent of them ended whenone of the parties(其中一方) wanted.
The researchers also asked study participants to guess when their conversational partners had wanted to stop talking. Those guesses were wrong, either over or underestimating the other person’s desire to continue the talk, by about 64 percent of the conversation’s actual length.
Taken together, the results suggest that we aren’t very skilled at estimating each others’ desires about when to end a conversation.
Thalia Wheatley, a social psychologist at Dartmouth College says the findings are important,adding thatconversations are “an elegant expression of joint cooperation.” (对话是一种一起合作的优雅表达) However, she says, “It all falls apart (崩溃；瓦解)at the end because we just can’t figure out when to stop.”
Mastroianni says his takeaway is that trying to guess what someone you’rechattingwithwants is almost pointless (meaningless).“You really have no idea when the other person wants to go. So maybe, stop trying and just relax and enjoyt he conversation.”
40.Wherewerethetwopartsofthestudycarriedout?
41.In what way were theparticipants’guesses wrongin thesecondpart ofthestudy?
42. Please decide which partis false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
? It’s easy to find a propert ime to end a conversation with a close friend.
43. If you desire to end a conversation, would you tell the other person directly?Why or why not?(In about 40 words)
