My 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private school. It's only a small discount, but the scholarship means she’ll skip the waiting list—provided my husband and I can cover $ 20,000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead
I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. They'll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but that's not quite how it turned out.
During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And finally, it's decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn't be more pleased.
It's taken me a little longer, but now I’m content. More than my fancy private school education, it's my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget.
4. Why did the writer want her daughter to go to a private school at first
A. Because she wanted her daughter to receive the best education
B. Because her daughters potential was wasted at the public primary school
C. Because her daughter earned an academic scholarship
D. Because she wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list
5. What effect will a parent who is a terrible strain on a family have on the family according to the third paragraph
A. content B. disappointing C. encouraging D. stressful
6. From the passage we know that ________
A. her two children attended their local private primary school
B. it took a long time for her to make the final decision
C. the scholarship her daughter won could cover most of her school fees
D. the writer had a good job and a solid income
7. What does the passage indicate
A. Private school education is not as good as public school education
B. Rather than school education, family influences a person most
C. Finance should be taken into account when it comes to education
D. Parents should make every sacrifice for their children
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B

C
With the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently,food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China.
Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016，China amended (修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping (倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.
Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation (补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery,which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies.
If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting (排放)country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.
8. What does the underlined word “imperative”in paragraph 1 mean
A. Impractical. B. Hopeful. C. Costly. D. Urgent
9. What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method
A. It has been widely used in restaurants.
B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law.
C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste.
D. It has proved effective in 100 cities.
10. What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy
A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored.
B. Prices of production materials go up.
C. Investment in the supply chain increases.
D. Food waste during crop production gets serious.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste.
B. To call for action against food waste.
C. To assess the consequences of food waste.
D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。 文章介绍了中国食物浪费问题及其采取的措施，号召人们采取行动减少食物浪费。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“food waste is a great problem in China(食物浪费在中国是一个大问题)”以及本段中的数据“more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost(损失了超过该国粮食总产量的6%，即3500万公斤)”可知，食物浪费现象在中国很严重，因此解决这一问题很“紧急”。文末将食物浪费比作一个国家，并指出其是一个需要采取紧急行动的区域，因此推断选项中划线词与urgent意思相近。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.(中国正在使用一种叫做厌氧消化的良好的食品废物处理方法，这是一种将有机废物转化为沼气，沼气可以用作能源，也可以转化为生物燃料的过程)”可知，厌氧消化法( anaerobic digestion)是一种很好的处理餐厨垃圾的方法，它能将有机垃圾转化为沼气用作能源，或者将沼气转化为生物燃料。由此可推知，厌氧消化法是一种很环保的处理餐厨垃圾的方法。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation (补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery,which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain.(目前的农业补贴政策体系主要包括对农作物、生产材料、种子和农业机械的价格保障和补贴，导致地方政府关注作物生产，而不重视供应链的浪费)”可知，现行的农业补贴政策的结构导致地方政府对供应链中的浪费问题关注较少。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本文介绍了中国的食物浪费问题、中国应对食物浪费采取的措施以及其他解决食物浪费间题的办法，再结合最后一段中的“This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.( 食物浪费问题不是某个地方特有的问题，而是影响地球上每个生物的问题，因此必须采取紧急行动。)”可知，本文的主要目的就是号召人们采取行动，解决食物浪费问题。故选B。
D
Scientists have created a new app designed to identify dangerous mosquitoes based on sounds the insects make. The app, called Abuzz, is aimed at helping fight major diseases spread by mosquitoes.
Haripriya Vaidehi Narayanan is one of the researchers who helped develop the app. Narayanan told VOA that anyone with a mobile phone could use the app to identify mosquitoes. “If they see a mosquito around, they just take out their phone, open up the app, point their phone towards the mosquito and hit the record button,”she said. “Then, when the mosquito flaps its wings and starts flying around, it makes that noise, that annoying buzzing noise. That noise is what gets recorded by the Abuzz app.” she added.
Many diseases that mosquitoes carry do not have cures or vaccines. So, targeting the flying insects is the best way to control them. “The most important step is to know where the mosquitoes are,” Narayanan said.
Traditional methods for hunting mosquitoes are costly and can take a very long time. The process also requires labor-intensive trapping as well as trained scientists to identify the insects.
Manu Prakash is a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and a lead investigator on the project. He says that out of about 3,500 different mosquito species, only about 40 are dangerous to humans. Prakash says the goal of the project was to find out whether the mosquitoes around a person's house are just an annoyance, or whether they are possibly dangerous.
When mosquitoes move their wings up and down, they produce buzzing sounds. But each kind of mosquito makes a slightly different buzzing noise. The app records these sounds. Users of the app can get an answer by recording as little as one or two seconds of the buzzing sound. The app compares this recording to a collection of other recordings. It then predicts which species of mosquito it is most likely to be.
By making use of mosquito information worldwide, the app can help build maps of where dangerous mosquitoes are. This can help scientists and health officials identify areas where disease is likely to break out and where to target mosquito control.
12. Why is it important to locate mosquitoes
A. Because they are very small and hard to find.
B. Because diseases carried by them are a big problem.
C. Because mosquitoes flap their wings very quickly.
D. Because the buzzing noise of mosquitoes is annoying.
13. What will Abuzz do after it records the sound of a mosquito
A. Compare it to a database and identify its species.
B. Make a somewhat different buzzing noise.
C. Release some chemicals to kill the mosquito.
D. Draw a map of the place where the mosquito was.
14. In which way could Abuzz help people
A. It can help people control the number of mosquitoes.
B. It can help people avoid some species of mosquitoes.
C. It can help predict where mosquito-carried diseases are most likely to occur.
D. It can help record the mosquito hiding places very quickly.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Different Species of Mosquitoes in the World
B. New Ways to Fight Disease Caused by Mosquitoes
C. How to Identify Sounds Made by Different Mosquitoes
D. A New App That Can Identify Dangerous Mosquitoes
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。科学家开发了一款新的应用程序，可以根据蚊子发出的声音来识别危险的蚊子。这款名为Abuzz的应用旨在帮助对抗由蚊子传播的主要疾病。文章介绍了发明这一程序的原因以及程序的运作方式等信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Many diseases that mosquitoes carry do not have cures or vaccines. So, targeting the flying insects is the best way to control them. “The most important step is to know where the mosquitoes are,” Narayanan said.(许多蚊子携带的疾病没有治疗方法或疫苗。所以，定位飞虫是控制它们的最好方法。“最重要的一步是知道蚊子在哪里，”Narayanan说)”可知，定位蚊子很重要因为它们携带的疾病是一个大问题。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The app compares this recording to a collection of other recordings. It then predicts which species of mosquito it is most likely to be.(该应用程序将这段录音与其他录音的集合进行比较。 然后它预测出最可能是哪种蚊子)”可知，Abuzz录下蚊子的声音后会将其与数据库进行比较，并确定其物种。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“By making use of mosquito information worldwide, the app can help build maps of where dangerous mosquitoes are. This can help scientists and health officials identify areas where disease is likely to break out and where to target mosquito control.(通过利用世界各地的蚊子信息，这款应用程序可以帮助绘制危险蚊子所在的地图。这可以帮助科学家和卫生官员确定疾病可能爆发的地区和控制蚊子的目标)”可知，Abuzz可以帮助预测蚊子传播的疾病最有可能发生的地方，从而帮助人们。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have created a new app designed to identify dangerous mosquitoes based on sounds the insects make. The app, called Abuzz, is aimed at helping fight major diseases spread by mosquitoes.(科学家开发了一款新的应用程序，可以根据蚊子发出的声音来识别危险的蚊子。这款名为Abuzz的应用旨在帮助对抗由蚊子传播的主要疾病)”结合文章介绍了发明这一程序的原因以及程序的运作方式等信息。可知，D选项“一个可以识别危险蚊子的新应用程序”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了洪水的危害。
【41题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意：遭遇洪水是非常危险的。空格处用动名词作主语，根据语境可知，句子表示“被困在洪水中”，因此空格处用动名词的被动语态，即being done，catch的过去分词是caught，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Being caught。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：遭遇洪水是非常危险的。空格处用副词修饰形容词dangerous，incredible的副词是incredibly，意为“非常地”，故填incredibly。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：洪水和许多其他自然灾害一样，可能在没有任何预警的情况下发生。根据语境可知，句子表示“洪水像许多其他自然灾害一样，可能在没有任何预警的情况下发生”，因此空格处是“像”，即like，故填like。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当然，在洪水期间溺水是一种威胁，不仅因为水太多，流速太快，还因为水所携带的东西。threat是可数名词，意为“威胁”，表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，threat是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【45题详解】
考查现在进行时和主谓一致。句意：当然，在洪水期间溺水是一种威胁，不仅因为水太多，流速太快，还因为水所携带的东西。由前面的“it’s moving”可知，句子时态用现在进行时，主语the water是不可数名词，因此空格处是is carrying，故填is carrying。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意：此外，洪水还会造成停电、通讯中断、交通堵塞和大范围的破坏。widespread是形容词，修饰名词，destroy的名词是destruction，是不可数名词，意为“破坏”，故填destruction。
【47题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：而且，洪水本身并不是唯一需要解决的问题。根据语境可知，句子表示“洪水本身并不是唯一需要解决的问题”，因此空格处用反身代词，表示“它自己”，即itself，故填itself。
【48题详解】
考查不定式。句意：其后果可能同样致命，因为可能无法向该地区运送水和食物等基本物资。it be possible to do sth.是固定短语，意为“可能做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to deliver，故填to deliver。
【49题详解】
考查连词。句意：一旦发出洪水警告，立即寻求庇护。根据语境可知，句子表示“一旦发出洪水警告，立即寻求庇护”，因此空格处可以是“如果”if，也可以是“当......的时候”，即when，故填if/when。
【50题详解】
考查连词。句意：千万不要试图在洪水中行走、游泳或开车。swim和drive是两个并列的动作，且句子是否定句，否定句里的“和”用or，故填or。

My 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private school. It's only a small discount, but the scholarship means she’ll skip the waiting list—provided my husband and I can cover $ 20,000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead
I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. They'll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but that's not quite how it turned out.
During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't sacrifice everything for my precious girl. I explain that I want to be a positive role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And finally, it's decided. My daughter is going to the public school behind our home. She couldn't be more pleased.
It's taken me a little longer, but now I’m content. More than my fancy private school education, it's my family that shaped me. With high school now 25 years in the past, I can no longer remember the mathematical problems and Shakespearean quotes I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible to forget.
4. Why did the writer want her daughter to go to a private school at first
A. Because she wanted her daughter to receive the best education
B. Because her daughters potential was wasted at the public primary school
C. Because her daughter earned an academic scholarship
D. Because she wanted her daughter to skip the waiting list
5. What effect will a parent who is a terrible strain on a family have on the family according to the third paragraph
A. content B. disappointing C. encouraging D. stressful
6. From the passage we know that ________
A. her two children attended their local private primary school
B. it took a long time for her to make the final decision
C. the scholarship her daughter won could cover most of her school fees
D. the writer had a good job and a solid income
7. What does the passage indicate
A. Private school education is not as good as public school education
B. Rather than school education, family influences a person most
C. Finance should be taken into account when it comes to education
D Parents should make every sacrifice for their children
C
With the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently,food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China.
Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016，China amended (修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping (倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.
Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation (补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery,which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies.
If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting (排放)country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.
8 What does the underlined word “imperative”in paragraph 1 mean
A. Impractical. B. Hopeful. C. Costly. D. Urgent
9. What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method
A. It has been widely used in restaurants.
B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law.
C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste.
D. It has proved effective in 100 cities.
10. What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy
A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored.
B. Prices of production materials go up.
C. Investment in the supply chain increases.
D Food waste during crop production gets serious.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste.
B To call for action against food waste.
C. To assess the consequences of food waste.
D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste.
D
Scientists have created a new app designed to identify dangerous mosquitoes based on sounds the insects make. The app, called Abuzz, is aimed at helping fight major diseases spread by mosquitoes.
Haripriya Vaidehi Narayanan is one of the researchers who helped develop the app. Narayanan told VOA that anyone with a mobile phone could use the app to identify mosquitoes. “If they see a mosquito around, they just take out their phone, open up the app, point their phone towards the mosquito and hit the record button,”she said. “Then, when the mosquito flaps its wings and starts flying around, it makes that noise, that annoying buzzing noise. That noise is what gets recorded by the Abuzz app.” she added.
Many diseases that mosquitoes carry do not have cures or vaccines. So, targeting the flying insects is the best way to control them. “The most important step is to know where the mosquitoes are,” Narayanan said.
Traditional methods for hunting mosquitoes are costly and can take a very long time. The process also requires labor-intensive trapping as well as trained scientists to identify the insects.
Manu Prakash is a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and a lead investigator on the project. He says that out of about 3,500 different mosquito species, only about 40 are dangerous to humans. Prakash says the goal of the project was to find out whether the mosquitoes around a person's house are just an annoyance, or whether they are possibly dangerous.
When mosquitoes move their wings up and down, they produce buzzing sounds. But each kind of mosquito makes a slightly different buzzing noise. The app records these sounds. Users of the app can get an answer by recording as little as one or two seconds of the buzzing sound. The app compares this recording to a collection of other recordings. It then predicts which species of mosquito it is most likely to be.
By making use of mosquito information worldwide, the app can help build maps of where dangerous mosquitoes are. This can help scientists and health officials identify areas where disease is likely to break out and where to target mosquito control.
12. Why is it important to locate mosquitoes
A. Because they are very small and hard to find.
B. Because diseases carried by them are a big problem.
C. Because mosquitoes flap their wings very quickly.
D. Because the buzzing noise of mosquitoes is annoying.
13. What will Abuzz do after it records the sound of a mosquito
A. Compare it to a database and identify its species.
B. Make a somewhat different buzzing noise.
C. Release some chemicals to kill the mosquito.
D. Draw a map of the place where the mosquito was.
14. In which way could Abuzz help people
A. It can help people control the number of mosquitoes.
B. It can help people avoid some species of mosquitoes.
C. It can help predict where mosquito-carried diseases are most likely to occur.
D. It can help record the mosquito hiding places very quickly.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Different Species of Mosquitoes in the World
B. New Ways to Fight Disease Caused by Mosquitoes
C. How to Identify Sounds Made by Different Mosquitoes
D. A New App That Can Identify Dangerous Mosquitoes
