A
Children’s Books
My Winter City by James Gladstone
A kid, his dad and their dog happily brave a downfall to go sledding across town. The boy notes the “windows
gone all steamy” on the bus, the “wilderness of footprints, crisscrossing, disappearing” on the sidewalks, the “light
powder pillows” when they make snow angels. Through the illustrations（插图） of the book, little children can
find each well-observed de tail of wintertime city life.
40pp.$19.95.（Ages 4 to 8.）
Bear Is Awake! An Alphabet Story by Hannah E. Harrison
A “big bear” wakes up in the middle of winter, leaves her den and shows up at a “cozy cabin,” where a girl is
annoyed, then inspired to take the bear into town to figure out how to help the creature get back to hibernation（冬
眠）. The final page has no words, just a proud look on the girl’s face: mission accomplished. The book lets even
pre-readers follow the alphabetical story through the expressive illustrations.
40pp.$17.99.（Ages 3 to 6.）
I Am Polar Bear by J. Patrick Lewis.
The book captures the majesty of the polar bear. Lewis has the creature tell us what he’s called in different
cultures, from the Inuit（“I am Nanuk”） to the Sami, who “refuse to speak my name for fear of offending me.”
The ending shows the polar bear float on a shrinking bit of ice, “losing hold.”
32pp. $18.99.（Ages 4 to 8.）
Snowy Race by April Jones Prince.
A girl gets to ride on her dad’s giant snowplow in this delightful rhyming tale. They race through the heavy
snow, but it’s not clear where they’re going until they arrive at the airport, where her mother is waiting. Prince’s
（“What Do Wheels Do All Day?”） text is intriguingly spare, letting Davenier’s （“The First Thing My Mama
Told Me”） soft lively wintertime scenes shine.
40pp.$18.99.（Ages 3 to 6.）
21．Which of the following books unfolds the winter city life?
A．My Winter City. B．Bear Is Awake! An Alphabet Story.

B
There’s nothing more refreshing than finding a young musician who talks about her developing career without
any artifice（欺骗） or anxiety. It’s simply a question of playing hard and persuading others that the journey is
worth taking.
As the first saxophonist to reach the final of BBC Young Musician in 2016, Jess Gillam was pleased to find
her schoolfriends watched and enjoyed her performance. Without her, they wouldn’t have heard a note and
probably wouldn’t have known the competition existed.
When she first joined the Carnival Band, a small town band, at 7, she realised it was a meeting point for
people from many different backgrounds. Saxophone in hand, she saw that there was a pathway to be followed that
would take people on a journey together who otherwise might not find common cause, and who — without the
thrill of music-making —couldn’t exploit （充分利用） their nature for music.
But here’s the bad news. Local authority funding fell away and there was no one to pick up the pieces. For the
generations behind her, there’s none of that opportunity she had to develop a love for music. Perhaps that’s one of
the reasons why she is so passionate about music education, which is to her a necessity.
“Music needs to be a given. It is part of education, but not an add-on.”
For anyone who gets tired of the head-scratching arguments about where music is going—and whether or not
audiences are going to shrink—a musician like Jess Gillam is an energising inspiration. She mentions her
excitement at performing with an orchestra which illustrates the richness of opportunity for talented young players.
Its 15th anniversary concert this year is living proof of the magic that can be reminded when young players get
together to express themselves with all the uninhibited （不受拘束的）enthusiasm of talented people who haven’t
yet been beaten down by too much career advice, or over-eager agents anxious to change them in a particular way.
When talking about music education in schools, she is incredible that anyone could think that it shouldn’t be at
the heart of the curriculum. She knows what it has done for her and hopes to pass it on.
24．What do we know about Jess Gillam?
A．She created a chance for her friends to approach music.
B．She believed only a band could unite music lovers.
C．She considered music-making an inborn competence.
D．She took over after her band was financially challenged.
25．Which does the underlined word “given” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Must. B．Bonus. C．Gift. D．Chance.
26．What does Jess Gillam probably agree with?
A．Further evidence is needed to support music education.
B．Music can only be individually appreciated.
C．Music allows young players to voice themselves freely.
D．Musicians are under the obligation to spread music.
27．Which can best describe Jess Gillam?
A．Ambitious and generous. B．Warm-hearted and modest.
C．Sensitive and devoted. D．Responsible and inspiring.
C
Dror Angel, a marine ecologist seeks to fight climate change by purposely sinking waste wood to the sea floor,
where carbon that the trees stored up while living can remain locked away for centuries. This initiative, led by
Israeli company Rewind, is part of a growing trend in carbon capture technologies seeking to draw carbon out of
the atmosphere.
Whereas some carbon capture schemes require expensive machines and complex chemistry, burying terrestrial
biomass（地球生物量） at sea is extremely simple: All it takes are tugboats, barges, and woody waste from
forestry and agriculture. The approach is favoured over other ocean-based carbon capture methods, such as growing
and sinking scawced. The advantage lies in the fact that the plant material is grown on land, reducing the risk of
robbing the surrounding waters of nutrients. Additionally, the existing infrastructure （基础结构） for terrestrial
biomass production makes it more practical at scale. And because woody plants are tough and unlikely to degrade
（降解）, they can effectively store carbon.
In the Black Sea, Rewind has one of the world’s great carbon burial sites. The sea is much saltier at the bottom
than at the top, so the two layers don’t mix much at all— one reason why very little oxygen makes it to the sea
floor. And because the layers don’t mix, any greenhouse gases that are produced will be locked in the depths for
hundreds or thousands of years.
However, critics raise concerns about potential drawbacks. The transportation of biomass on earth globally
may not be environmentally practicable. And removing terrestrial biomass from land could steal soil nutrients over
time. Additionally, as new uses for terrestrial biomass emerge, such as sustainable building materials or biochar
（生物炭）, the most environmentally friendly approach must be considered.
Dror Angel agrees that sinking terrestrial biomass has its limitations and challenges. But the urgency of carbon
removal demands that every possible scheme be explored thoroughly, and he says, “I think every idea deserves $1
billion of support to test it out.”
28．What is the purpose of the Rewind’s project?
A．To develop new marine ecosystems. B．To explore unknown marine species.
C．To trap carbon at sea. D．To store carbon for future use.
29．Which of the following advantages about the wooden-sinking method is not mentioned?
A．A decreased impact on marine ecology. B．A slim chance of breaking down.
C．Increased absorption of carbon. D．Great practice on a large scale.
30．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．The transportation of terrestrial biomass is harmless to the environment.
B．Carbon capture efforts need to be balanced with other environmental goals.
C．Terrestrial Biomass has no significant use other than carbon capture.
D．Burying terrestrial biomass is the best way to keep carbon.
31．What is the article’s tone towards the initiative led by Dror Angel and Rewind?
A．Skeptical. B．Objective. C．Ambiguous. D．Indifferent.
D
The clich（陈词滥调） of a knitter is a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force
pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots crashed a lot and “lap crafts” like knitting,
helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs while also helping to settle wounded minds. They were the cornerstone
（基石） of early occupational therapy （治疗）.
Today, millions of people around the world employ these same techniques. “They are closely associated with
our mental health,” says Janine Smith. Along with Deb McDonald, she co-owns Skein Sisters, a store in Sydney,
that sells supplies for knitting and crocheting. “I know that if I haven’t knitted for a few days, I really miss it. It’s
like meditation.”
Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff
University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted,
the calmer and happier they felt.
In reality, it is a “Flow”, which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihal as he wrote in
his book, “The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best moments usually
occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and
worthwhile.”
Shauna Richardson knows just how true this is. The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she
crocheted （钩织） three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. To complete the task, which
required nearly 38 miles of wool, she says she had to “zone everything out and sustain a state of mind driven by
rhythm and process.”
But smaller projects will also get you there. Even a simple knitting or crochet pattern requires attentiveness to
ensure that each stitch is made correctly. And if there’s not enough challenge in the straightforward, you can make
additions, from colour changes to textured stitches to highly complicated patterns.
The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed, three-quarters
of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget
their problems.
32．What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A．To give a definition. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To clarify a concept. D．To prove a finding.
33．On which occasion will a person experience “Flow”?
A．Playing computer games to one’s heart’s content.
B．Experiencing an aha moment all of a sudden.
C．Working on a technical challenge devotedly.
D．Being frequently distracted from the task.
34．What can you infer from the passage?
A．Challenges in knitting are made to add excitement.
B．Shanna Richardson likes nothing better than facing challenges in crocheting.
C．Smaller projects won’t contribute much to experiencing “Flow”.
D．Frequent knitters feel more capable of handling their thoughts and challenges.
35．What is the best title of the text?
A．Active Hands, Calm Minds. B．Unique therapy, Effective healing.
C．Skillful techniques, Organized thoughts. D．Simple knitting, Physical wellbeing.

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
Jenny was fourteen years old and always wore a bright smile. This may not seem that unusual except that she
suffered from cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）, a condition that left her muscles stiff（僵硬的）. Because she had
trouble speaking, it was this bright smile that reflected her true personality—a great kid. She used a walker（助行
架） most of the time. A lot of times people didn’t speak to her. Why? Who knows? Maybe it was because she
looked different and the rest of the students didn’t know how to approach her. Jenny usually broke the ice with
people she met with a big “Hi”.
The assignment was to recite three stanzas （诗节） of the poem “Don’t Quit”. I only made the assignment
worth ten points since I figured most of my students wouldn’t do it anyway. When I was in school and a teacher
assigned a ten-point homework assignment, I would probably have blown it off myself. So I wasn’t expecting much
from today’s teenagers either. Jenny was in the class, and I noticed a look on her face that was different from the
normal bright smile. The look was one of worry. Don’t worry, Jenny, I thought to myself, it’s only ten points.
The day the assignment came due arrived and as I went through my roster（花名册）my expectations were
met, as one by one each student failed to recite the poem. “Sorry, Mr. Krause,” was the standard reply. “It’s only
worth ten points anyway... right?” Finally, in frustration and half kidding, I announced that the next person who
didn’t recite the poem perfectly had to drop on the floor and give me ten push-ups. This was an old discipline
technique from my days as a physical education teacher.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To my surprise, Jenny was next.
But she crawled（爬） back up with her walker and continued the poem.
