【原文】M: Researchers in China have shown an ancient skull to the world for the first time. The skull could belong to a completely new species of humans that lived in Asia over 146,000 years ago.It could be from a group of humans that are the closest relatives to us. The researchers have nicknamed the person the skull came from “Dragon Man”. It was originally found by a Chinese worker in the city of Harbin in 1933 but was kept hidden at the bottom of his family's well. It stayed there for nearly 90 years. The man recently told his family about the skull before he died. His family located it and gave it to scientists.

Scientists say Dragon Man could greatly change our understanding of human evolution. They say he looked more like today's humans than any other members of the human family tree. The species Dragon Man belonged to is probably closer to modern-day humans than Neanderthals were. Researcher Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London described Dragon Man's group. He said, “From the winter temperatures in Harbin today, it looks like they were coping with even extreme cold than the Neanderthals.”

“They’re following me!” I thought to myself，as I watched the two young men on motorbikes slow down next to me as I drove. “Ignore them. They’ll go away.” I decided and turned my attention back to the road. As a woman living in a big city, such encounters were not new, but I was unusually disturbed by a strange sadness that day. I realized that whenever I stopped at a signal, the two bikers would also pause alongside, staring intently (热切地).

This continued through three traffic signals, leaving no room for doubt. I drove as fast as I could to stay ahead of them, but I couldn’t shake them off for the busy evening traffic. I finally reached home and released a sigh of relief until I realized that they had chased me all the way to my doorstep. Even scarier, they were now off the bike and at the gates, trying to talk to me.

Feeling safer on familiar ground, I turned back to tell them off. “Please don’t get us wrong,”

one of them said, his tone low and concerned. “We saw you weeping inside your car and wanted to make sure you were okay.”

I realized in an instant what must have happened. The men had seen me breaking down in my car and followed me out of concern. I thanked them sincerely. My emotions got better at the time. I never saw them again. But even more than 10 years later, I still am struck by their selfless concern for a stranger and remember them with gratitude.

25. Why did the bikers follow the woman? A. To ask for help.

C. To make sure that she was fine.

B. To have a talk with her. D. To find out where her home was. B. The road was crowded.

26. What made the bikers believe the woman was down? A. Her crying in her car. C. Her telling of her trouble.

B. Her unusual driving way. D. Her stop at every traffic signal.

27. What is the author’s attitude towards the two strangers? A. Admirable. C. Doubtful.

Schoolchildren across the United Kingdom will learn how to fend off loneliness. In January, British Prime Minister Theresa May appointed the first “minister of loneliness”. This week, her administration released an 84-page plan detailing the actions it will take to prevent loneliness. Starting in primary school, students will have lessons in “relationships education”.

Indeed, according to a recent report by the health-care company Cigna, nearly half of adults in the U.S. reported feeling alone. Marriage rates and religious-participation rates are also dropping and both are risk factors for social isolation and loneliness. The prevalence (普遍) of loneliness seems to be especially acute among young adults. One study found that Americans aged 21 to 30 reported feeling lonely twice as many days as adults aged 50 to 70. Studies suggest loneliness results in a variety of health issues, such as decreased immunity to viral infections, poor sleep, and cardiovascular (心血管的) issues．

The ideal school curriculum (课程) for teaching loneliness prevention would target social isolation as well as the cognitive processes that make people feel lonely. “Recognizing that it’s something that we need to take seriously for our health is a primary and critical step,” Holt- Lunstad says. She advocates for a sort of “social education” that would be put into existing health-education

curriculum to teach students how to build and maintain friendships and relationships. 28. How does Holt-Lunstad find the loneliness problem in the United States？ A. It is not serious and easy to deal with. B. It is serious and needs measures to control. C. It is not as serious as in the United Kingdom. D. It is more serious than it is in the United Kingdom.

29. What does the underlined word “acute” in paragraph 3 probably mean？ A. Popular. Frequent.

30. What result may loneliness cause？ A. Poor sleep.

C. Lower marriage rates. infections.

31. What is the best title for the text？ A. Finding the Cause of Loneliness. B. Learning to Fight Loneliness at School.

C. Loneliness — the Cause of Many Health Problems. D. Loneliness — a Serious Problem in Modern Society. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】

Starting in primary school, students will have lessons in “relationships education”.(英国的学童将学习如何抵御孤独。今年1月，英国首相特蕾莎·梅任命了首位“孤独大臣”。本周，她的政府发布了一份84页的计划，详细说明了将采取哪些行动来防止孤独。从小学开始，学生们将学习“关系教育”课程)”可知，文章介绍孤独成为了一个严重的问题，英美国家将在学校开设相关课程教学生如何保持友谊，克服孤独。由此可知，B项“在学校学习如何战胜孤独”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。

“It's possible to jump to happy endings a little too quickly,” says Laura King, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia. In her research with people who have experienced major life challenges, King has found that people whose stories gloss over（掩盖）conflict tend to become happier over the course of two years.

“The ability to take some time and experience grief（悲伤）or unhappiness improves your ability to appreciate the world in all its richness and complexity,” King says.

In one study, King asked parents to tell the story of discovering that their child had Down syndrome. Immediately after telling their stories and again two years later, the parents completed measures of subjective well-being. Researchers blind to the participants' test scores read their stories

and recorded the presence of foreshadowing（预示）and whether the stories had happy or sad beginnings and endings. The researchers also scored how vividly the stories illustrated conflict, struggle and exploration.

Two years later, the parents who had grown happier were the ones who had written stories with happy endings. “I knew everything would be all right,” one woman wrote. Another parent wrote, “I know my daughter is quite special. She's the closest I've come to an angel on Earth.”

However, only the parents who first vividly described their mixed feelings upon learning of their child's diagnosis grew happier. “I cried a lot,” wrote a parent. “The pain was so deep. I felt cheated. I could hardly function.” These were also the parents who later seemed best able to fully appreciate their children's gifts and limitations. 32. What did the study find?

A. People with sick child tend to be happier. B. People usually jump to happy endings too quickly. C. People who go through challenges may become happier. D. People need to suffer difficulty to be able to appreciate happiness. 33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Who the research focused on. B. Why researchers did the study. C. What benefit the finding will bring us. D. How researchers carried out the study.

34. What do parents have to do first to become happier? A. Preview what will happen to them. B. Describe their mixed feelings clearly. C. Write a story with a happy beginning. D. Take good care of their sick children. 35. What is the text? A. A news report. C. A travel guide.

【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】

B. A diary. D. A short story.

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。研究发现，经历过苦难的人更容易变得快乐。 【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段关键句“In her research with people who have experienced major life challenges, King has found that people whose stories gloss over conflict tend to become happier over the course of two years.”（在她对经历过重大生活挑战的人的研究中，金发现，在两年的时间里，那些在故事中淡化冲突的人往往会变得更快乐。）可知，研究发现经历过苦难的人更容易变得快乐。故选C项。

【33题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第三段关键句“In one study, King asked parents to tell the story of discovering that their child had Down syndrome. Immediately after telling their stories and again two years later, the parents completed measures of subjective well-being.”（在一项研究中，金要求父母讲述发现自己的孩子患有唐氏综合症的故事。在讲述完他们的故事后，父母们立即完成了主观幸福感的测量，两年后他们又完成了一次。）及“The researchers also scored how vividly the stories illustrated conflict, struggle and exploration.”（研究人员还对这些故事生动地描述了冲突、斗争和探索进行了打分。）可知，本段主要描述研究人员是如何开展此项研究的。故选D项。 【34题详解】

细节理解题。由文章最后一段关键句“However, only the parents who first vividly described their mixed feelings upon learning of their child's diagnosis grew happier.”（然而，只有那些第一次生动描述关于孩子诊断的复杂感受的父母，才变得更快乐。）可知，只有生动地描述内心感受的父母才能感到更快乐。故选B项。 【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段关键句“In her research with people who have experienced major life challenges, King has found that people whose stories gloss over conflict tend to become happier over the course of two years.”（在她对经历过重大生活挑战的人的研究中，金发现，在两年的时间里，那些在故事中淡化冲突的人往往会变得更快乐。）并结合下文引用说话者的观点及全文语言风格可知，本文为一篇新闻报道，说明了研究的一项发现：经历过苦难的人更容易变得快乐。 故选A项。

I’ll watch the squirrels in my backyard.(花时间和你的宠物在一起是一个很好的方式来放慢你的节奏，让你放松。它可以降低你的血压，帮助你控制焦虑或抑郁。当我感到压力时。我会在后院看松鼠)”可知，本段中作者建议和宠物相处能够让自己的心情平静下来，同时有降低血压等功效，作者自己就是这么做的，故A选项“花时间和动物在一起”符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】

根据上文“When I’m feeling stressed. I’ll watch the squirrels in my backyard. (当我感到压力时。我会在后院看松鼠)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，空前提到作者通过观看小松鼠减压，故本句与上文并列，都是在对和动物相处进行举例。故G选项“或者我会去附近的公园看狗一起玩耍”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】

根据上文“Tend to your plants. One day my friend left a spider plant sprout on my front stoop and I decided to try my hand at being a plant parent once again. I was surprised by the effect it had on

me.(照顾好你的植物。有一天，我的朋友在我家门前的门廊上留下了一株蜘蛛苗，我决定再一次尝试做一个植物家长。它对我产生的影响令我吃惊)”可知，本段的主旨是照顾植物，C选项中caring for my plant对应上文中Tend to your plants.。故C选项“我期待着每天照顾我的植物”符合语境，故选C。

Nice to hear from you! Indeed, with the development of modern science and technology, the computer has become a very useful tool to help people to write．People use computers much more

than before．And at the same time, they neglect handwriting．So some people have forgotten how to write Chinese characters and often make mistakes in writing．

As we all know Chinese handwriting has a long history．It is an important part of our excellent culture．Though the computer is widely used today, Chinese still need to grasp the skill of writing with hand．Not only is handwriting an art but it can stimulate our brain and prevent us from being distracted．Hoping you will love it forever!

第二节（满分25分）

67. 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。

It was a January afternoon. My wife, Savitri and I sat on the Sahyadri Express. As the train pulled out of the station, we could barely hide our excitement. We were finally on the way to a

honeymoon to Matheran! This was the first time we had enough savings to go on a trip together.

The train stopped at Neral, where we were forced out of our reverie (白日梦). As we stepped out and started making inquiries, we realized it was unlikely that we would find a train to take us to the misty hill station we had been dreaming of for months. The afternoon gradually settled into a pink dusk as we sat in a corner at the station, waiting for news of the train services as the cold winter breeze rattled (使紧张)our bones. We unwrapped some biscuits when a little girl, no more than five or six, went past us, screaming, “But I want food! I am hungry!”

Savitri's eyes turned to the girl’s family. Smiling, she called out-her name was Mehrunisa，we overheard-and asked her to seek her parent’s permission to accept biscuits from us. Left with no option, her family accepted, And we began chatting.

After several hours, the train finally arrived. We entered alongside. As the short uphill journey progressed, Savitri and I softly discussed our trouble. It seemed unlikely that our reservation at Ragdi Hotel would still be held. As the train arrived and we rose to bid the family goodbye, Mehrunisa’s father, Viraaz, suggested that he would accompany us to make sure that we had a place to spend the night. He had overheard our anxious exchange.

His family headed to their guesthouse and Viraaz came with us to look for a hotel. To no one’s surprise, Ragdi Hotel was packed with people. The manager offered assistance by placing a few beds in the coal storage room but the cold made it uninhabitable. A gradual dread(恐惧)started to appear in my mind. 注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Sensing our helplessness, Viraaz offered to put us up in their accommodation for the night. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our friendship has since continued for decades.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version：

Sensing our helplessness, Viraaz offered to put us up in their accommodation for the night. “It’ll be crowded and small but I hope you won’t mind,” he said. I was surprised at his generosity. Necessity forced us to agree and we set off by foot towards the guesthouse. Upon our arrival, Viraaz’s family worked tirelessly with supplies to make us feel at home — food was quickly heated and shared and blankets brought out for us. The guesthouse was filled to three times its usual capacity, but everyone managed.

Our friendship has since continued for decades. We phoned each other, traveled together several times and got together regularly. Viraaz even came to live with us in Ahmedabad when he shifted to the city. We frequently went fishing together on the weekend. It was quite a wonder that this rich friendship between families started with just a half-eaten packet of biscuits at a train station. We’ve been happy about it. 【解析】

【分析】本文以乘坐火车旅行为线索展开，讲述了作者和妻子一起乘坐火车去度蜜月，在火车上因为让一个女孩吃饼干结识了Viraaz一家，到达目的地之后，由于当地宾馆已满，无处可住，作者和妻子在Viraaz家的客房度过一夜，并从此结下深厚的友谊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“察觉到我们的无助，Viraaz提出让我们在他们的住处过夜。”可知，第一段可描写Viraaz一家慷慨积极地为作者两口提供居住服务。

②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，我们的友谊延续了几十年。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Viraaz一家的友好往来。

2.续写线索：积极不知疲倦地——干活准备——感谢——友谊发展——快乐——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类

①.干活：work/labour

②.聚会：got together/meet each other 情绪类

①. 积极不知疲倦地：positive attitude/positively/tirelessly ②. 快乐：be happy/feel joyful 【点睛】

[高分句型1]. Upon our arrival, Viraaz’s family worked tirelessly with supplies to make us feel at home — food was quickly heated and shared and blankets brought out for us. (运用了非谓语动词不定式作目的状语)

[高分句型2]. It was quite a wonder that this rich friendship between families started with just a half-eaten packet of biscuits at a train station. (that引导的主语从句，it作形式主语)
