2. a
3. creative
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了，作者小时候太专注于绘画技巧，画技却未提高让作者很痛苦，在11年级时，作者画自己喜欢的东西，这让作者明白要相信自己的创造性天赋和找寻生活中快乐的时刻。

【1题详解】
考查动词不定式。

分析语境可知，此处表目，意为“为了”，所以用动词不定式（to do）。

故填to improve。

【2题详解】
考查冠词。

分析语境可知，此处指“在一本素描本上”，表泛指，用不定冠词a。

故填a。

【3题详解】
考查形容词。

名词talents需要形容词修饰，所以此空用形容词。

故填creative。

B
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。

在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

However, preparation and safety always come first. You must do warm-up exercises before playing and you can't lose concentration during the movements.
【答案】4. showing
5. where
6. safer
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章讲述了，蹦床运动在中国青少年中很受欢迎，但在玩蹦床时还是要提前热身并注意安全。

【4题详解】
考查现在分词。

此句已有谓语are regularly uploaded且无连词，此空用非谓语动词，名词短语Short videos 和动词show是逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词（doing）表主动做名词Short videos的后置定语。

故填showing。

【5题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。

此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是any other competitive sports，指地点，在从句中做状语，所以用关系副词where。

故填where。

【6题详解】
考查比较级。

由语境可知，此处指蹦床与足球、篮球、网球或任何其他经常发生各种伤害的竞技运动相比，它相对地更安全，所以用形容词比较级。

9. why10. for
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。

文章讲述了，因为孤独、压力和没时间交朋友，中国年轻人养宠的越来越多，养宠可以排解孤独、减轻压力和改善健康状况。

【7题详解】
考查时态和语态。

此处缺乏谓语动词，讲的是客观事实，所以用一般现在时，主语China's urban pet consumer market（单数）和动词expect是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，be expected to do意为“被期望做……”故填is expected。

【8题详解】
考查时态。

此处缺乏谓语动词，由Nowadays和语境可知，此处指中国年轻人正在承受着更大的孤独和压力，所以用现在进行时（am/is/are doing），表“正在……”，主语young people是复数。

故填are suffering。

【9题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。

explain后面接了一个宾语从句，由语境可知，此处指原因，所以用引导词why。

故填why。

【10题详解】

What are some of your favourite memories of the University?
In preparation for each 50th reunion, members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.
Here's a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.
Phyllis Jo Baunach
“...I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.
Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and- directed plays, and
the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”
Paul Boehm
“... many sweet and lasting memories—five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris's Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Ellen Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, “How about oceanography?” So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi（the famous climate scientist）, which awakened my environmental justices, and changed my professional direction.”
Farel Vella McClure
“...I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact, I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master's degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his offices in New York to see the “master” at work.”

B
Early February, I was flying up to Ohio. Well prepared, I had everything in my favour—fuel for five hours, charts in order, my flight plan on my lap, and a beautiful clear sky.
I was wrong.
I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada. I knew all about them―how an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.
That morning, the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about the time I got to the airport. Chicago was some 400 miles from my destination—not a factor, or so I thought. That was the first hint I missed.
The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I did the check and everything was in the green. So I told him no. Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan. I checked everything. All was fine. I ignored that hint. I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently. The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.
The first blast of turbulence（气流）struck my plane. I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.
After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles, I realized fuel was now an issue. So was landing. I called Flight Following. We figured out the airport I could land.
The engine stopped. So did my heart. There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude. I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank. The engine quit for a second time. I declared an emergency. I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane. Luckily, it worked. Then, the engine quit for the last time. I was a glider now. I made a long lazy spiral descent. Down I went. I stopped at the very end of the runway.
I made so many mistakes, missed so many clues, and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind. I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different. I will never forget the sound of that silence.
I flew home the next day Older. Wiser. Humbler. Lucky.
34. We can know from the passage that Alberta Clippers ______.
A. can bring snowstorms
B. are quick-moving air masses.
C. are violently changing air pressure
D. can lead to a sudden temperature drop
35. What mainly led to the author's missing all the hints?
A. His lack of flying experience.
B. His poor preparation for the journey.
C. His misjudgement about the air mass.
D. His overconfidence in his piloting skills.
36. Which is the right order of the events?
a. I declared an emergency.
b. My airplane was running out of fuel.
c. I insisted on carrying on my flight plan.
d. I was thrown to the roof by the violent air mass.
e. I slightly banked my airplane and made a landing.
A. dcbea
B. dceba
C. cdabe
D. cdbae
37. The passage describes ______.
A. a rewarding training
B. a narrow escape
C. a painful exploration
D. a serious accident
【答案】34. B 35. C 36. D 37. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了，作者在糟糕的天气条件下，坚持飞行，错估天气状况，又遭遇飞机没油和飞机引擎不转，经历了一次死里逃生的飞行经历。

【34题详解】
细节理解题。

由第三段中的“I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada. I knew all about them―how an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.”（我听说Alberta Clippers从加拿大来了。

我对它们了如指掌——整个空气团以每小时60英里的速度流动。

），可知Alberta Clippers是快速移动的气团。

故选B项。

【35题详解】
细节理解题。

由第五段中的“I ignored that hint. I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently.”（我忽略了这个暗示。

我被平稳的空气和有限的经验
愚弄了，认为快速移动的空气团没有剧烈的变化。

），可知是作者对气团的错误判断使他忽略了暗示。

故选C 项。

【36题详解】
细节理解题。

按事件顺序，c——第五段中的“So I told him no.”（所以我告诉不调整飞行计划。

），d——第六段中的“I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.”（我被摔在顶上，然后侧身撞在窗户上，鼻子上的力量太大，我开始流血。

），b——倒数第三段中的“I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank.”（我的左油箱没油了，而我的右油箱只有一点油。

），a——倒数第三段中的“I declared an emergency.”（我宣布了紧急情况。

），e——倒数第三段中的“I was told that I might get another few minutes of fuel if I gently banked the airplane. Luckily, it worked.”（有人告诉我，如果我轻轻地把飞机倾斜起来，我可能再得到几分钟的燃油。

幸运的是，它成功了。

）及“I stopped at the very end of the runway.”（我在跑道的尽头停了下来。

），可知事件的正确顺序为cdbae。

故选D项。

【37题详解】
主旨大意题。

由第六段中的“The first blast of turbulence（气流）struck my plane. I got slammed into the roof, and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.”（我的飞机受到了第一次气流的冲击。

我被摔在顶上，然后侧身撞在窗户上，鼻子上的力量太大，我开始流血。

），倒数第三段中的“I had run out of fuel in the left tank, and only a little in my right tank. The engine quit for a second time. I declared an emergency.”（我的左油箱没油了，而我的右油箱只有一点油。

我宣布了紧急情况。

）及“I stopped at the very end of the runway.”（我在跑道的尽头停了下来。

），和最后一段“I flew home the next day. Older. Wiser. Humbler. Lucky.”（第二天我就飞回家了。

年纪大了。

C
There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I'm much more impatient with her when I'm filming Sherlock.”
Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coined the term “post-dramatic stress disorder” to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied,” he writes.
A recent finding doesn't involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers’ sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical
attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events.
After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self-knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they'd given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term “confident” was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend's personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re-rating oneself.
“By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person” said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging, especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too. The challenge of improving ourselves—or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive light—might be a little easier than we thought. By roleplaying or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.
“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are.”
