asked her about working again,she would tell me to focus on achieving my dream.I knew she had once dreamed for herself.For years,I watched het effortlessly light up conversations with both strangers and family.Her empathy and ability to reach the heart could make anyone laugh,even when the story itself did not apply to them at all.Mom,have you ever thought about being a stand-up comedian?It is too late for me,son,she responded,laughing at the idea.I could not bear to watch her struggle between ambition and doubt.Her birthday was coming up.Although I had already bought her a present,I knew what I actually wanted to give her.I placed little notes of encouragement inside the present.I asked my family and 更多全科无水印试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司her friends to do the same.Eventually I had collected 146 notes,and each with the same sentiment:You are humorous,full of life,and ready to take on the stage.On the day of her birthday,my mom unwrapped my present.She was not surprised as she had hinted at it for long.But then she saw those little notes.She started to weep with her hands full of notes.She could not believe the support was real.Within two months,my mom gave her first performance in a New York comedy club.I have read the notes countless times with my mom.They are framed and line the walls of her new office space that she rented with the profits she made from working as a professional comedian.For many parents,their childrens careers are their greatest accomplishment,but for me my moms is mine.24.What was the attitude of the authors mother to working women?A.She was curious about their income.B.She admired what work brought them.C.She felt indifferent to working women.D.She appreciated their ambitions in finance.25.According to the author,what makes his mother a good comedian?A.Her effort in making friends.B.Her talent to bring people joy.C.Her curiosity about working women.D.Her desire for financial independence.26.How did his mother feel when reading the notes on her birthday?A.Amazed and hesitant.B.Sad and disappointed.C.Moved and encouraged.D.Delighted and proud.27.What is the authors greatest accomplishment?A.Supporting Moms

onomatopoeia（拟声词）.But what if the way a word sounds could arouse some other feature of an object,like its shape?Marcus Perlman,a lecturer at the University of Birmingham,says that a century ago,linguists（语言学家）insisted that the words of objects dont necessarily sound like the very things.Theres nothing doggy-sounding about the word dog or catlike-sounding about the word cat.But theres plenty 更多全科无水印试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司of evidence now proving it false.To further explore this connection,Perlman and his colleagues turned to something called the bouba/kiki effect.What it is about is that when you see two shapes-one looks like a cloud,kind of roundish,and the other one is more spiky（尖形的）,like a star-and when youre asked to say which one is bouba,you will be more likely to point to a rounded one and,for kiki,to a spiky one.One explanation for the effect could be the appearance of the letters.The round shape of b-o-u-b-a might arouse the sense of roundness.But what happens when you dont see the words but hear them?In a following test,participants were told to look at the two shapes and then listen to the sound:either bouba or kiki.Whatever their native language is,most participants said the rounder shape was bouba and the spiky one was kiki.This suggests that the effect seems to be driven by some correspondence（对应关系）between the spoken words and the shapes,which might bring us closer to how the first words came.28.What may Marcus Parlman believe about the words of objects?A.Words sounding like objects dont exist.B.Words dont have to sound like objects.C.Words of objects are difficult to understand.D.Words pronunciation is connected to objects.29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The distinction between various shapes.B.The explanation of the bouba/kiki effect.C.The comparison between bouba and kiki.D.The introduction to the bouba/kiki effect.30.Which shape may the participants choose after hearing the bauba sound?A.A star.B.A circle.C.A pyramid.D.A diamond.31.What is suggested in the text?A.Different languages may have the same origins.B.The word bouba or kiki can be found in languages.C.The effect may help understand the origin of language.D.The secret of language formation has been discovered.D更多全科无水印试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司We all sometimes behave in ways that seem to conflict with our goals and intentions.One person might wish to spend more time with family but instead find themselves mindlessly browsing social media.Another may repeatedly ignore their alarm and miss their morning workout.If we only had more willpower,the conventional wisdom goes,we could eat healthier,exercise regularly,and spend more time with loved ones.However,in Determined:A Science of Life without Free Will,scientist Robert Sapolsky argues that such choices are actually determined by factors beyond our control.Sapolsky demonstrates in his book how various factors influence our intentions and actions.He describes scientific evidence that those influences may occur minutes,hours,or days before our actions;some may even begin years earlier.For example,people raised in a collectivist culture tend to avoid obstacles（障碍）when walking whereas those raised in independent cultures will remove the obstacles.In particular,Sapolsky argues against the claim that luck evens（均等）out over time,with fortune and misfortune striking most people in equal measure,an idea favored by others.Instead,he provides convincing examples that many who are born unlucky have little chance of getting ahead.Although Sapolsky is careful not to confuse determinism with the inability to affect change in the world,his unclear attitude toward how determinism might coexist with free will is one of the books weak points.Nonetheless,this book is.worth reading.Better yet,pair it with Kevin Mitchells book Free Agents:How Evolution Gave Us Free Will,which makes the opposite argument,and then,decide for yourself whether you had a choice to do so or it was all predetermined.32.How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph?A.By giving examples.B.By listing statistics.C.By raising arguments.D.By drawing conclusions.33.According to Sapolsky,what determine（s）our choices and actions?A.Level of willpower.B.Random luck.C.Uncontrollable elements.D.Conventional wisdom.34.What does the underlined word collectivist mean?更多全科无水印试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司A.Low-esteemed.B.Determined.C.Self-centered.D.Cooperative.35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Exploration on Free WillB.Wisdom in Decision MakingC.Views on Determinism and Free WillD.Conflicts between Goals and Choices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。Shopping in the sales feels like a subtle way to spend.Lower prices naturally equal money saved.36 Sometimes you think youre getting a bargain,but actually youre paying more than you need to.So,follow the tips below and youll hopefully be on the right track.Only buy essentials.You might have been tempted to buy a much higher item than you actually need,simply because were dazzled by the size of the discount.So despite the savings made on the full price item,its actually a huge waste of cash.37 You can even have a need note which you add to regularly,allowing you to focus your shopping during the sales.38 Just because theres a sale running with a lower price,doesnt mean you can scramble for the goods immediately.If you can wait,some price history websites are a great way to get a sense of any regularly occurring price variations.Certain items will have a life cycle too.Christmas cards and decorations are bargains in January while TVs tend to be at their lowest prices in the early summer when the newer models are released.39 So this is only a strategy for non-essentials.Check for alternatives.Finally,even if you think youve got the best price out there-or at least one youre happy to pay-its worth checking youre not overpaying still when compared to similar products.40 .That could mean staying away from high-end brands,looking for secondhand items or trying a different but similar style.A.Time when you buy.更多全科无水印试卷尽在网盘群，请关注公众号：高中试卷君学科网（北京）股份有限公司B.Compare prices now.C.Sadly,there are tricks played by retailers.D.Its easy to get caught up in sales and spend when you dont need to.E.The best way to avoid this is to create a must-have list before shopping.F.There may well be cheaper substitutes that do the same job but cost less.G.But you might have fewer options to choose from,or will even miss out.第二部分语言运用（共两节,满分 30分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分,满分 15分）My grandmother suffers from Alzheimers disease.Seeing her condition worsen over time,and knowing I could do nothing,created a
