A
June 18 is the birthday of my late sister Tanya. She would have been 49 years old this year, but that's increasingly difficult for me to imagine. She is frozen in time at 37.
Tanya died more than a decade ago and the wound left by her loss has healed into a scar (疤痕). It's a big scar. You can't know me for very long without discovering my scar. Trust me; if you haven't found it on your own, I will point it out to you. I want you all to know that she existed, and that she mattered.
When we first lose a loved one, we ask, “How will I live without you ” and wounds are open and weeping. We don't know how we'll cope with the pain. But then the wounds form scars, and we learn to live with our new skins.
“How can I remember you ” we ask.
So many people are hesitant to talk about my sister. It is as though mentioning her will remind me that she is dead, and upset my balance when I am so stable and happy. But I never forget my sister, not for a moment.
And so I love it when people mention Tanya's name. Occasionally, I come across one of her friends, and they casually bring up a memory, and it is like a gift.
So if you have friends who have lost loved ones, please don't avoid talking about their loved one. You won't remind them of their loss, because it is always there. They haven't forgotten their scar. They just don't point it out to you.
Instead, try to reassure (使安心) them their loved one is not forgotten. Ask questions about the deceased (逝去的）person's life. Keep them alive in the only way you can after a person is gone, with your words and your memories.
I love hearing from friends on my sister's birthday, It makes her present, despite her absence. It reminds us all that she was here. She walked this earth. She was loved, and she mattered. And on June 18,I embrace (欣然接受) my scar.
21. What does “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The death of the author's sister.
B. The author's sister's birthday.
C. The “scar" in the author's heart.

22. How does the author feel when people mention her sister
A. She becomes upset about it.
B. She worries that she must defend her sister.
C. She doesn't know how to deal with it.
D. She is happy to be reminded of her sister.
23. What does the author advise us to do when talking to those who lost loved ones
A. Avoid talking about the person who died.
B. Keep them company as long as you can.
C. Help them to forget their painful scars.

Global warming does more than just kill plant species-it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.
Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller... to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.
There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect the changes in temperature...,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.
To understand it, they investigated the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20℃. These stems become considerably longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.
28. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research
A. To study the negative effects of global warming.
B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming.
C. To observe how global warming affects plant growth.
D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants.
B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.
C Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.
D. High temperatures decrease crop production.
30. What do we know about PIF4
A. It mainly exists in the cress seedlings.
B. It works differently at different temperatures.
C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.
D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.
31. Who will probably benefit most from the findings
A. Farmers. B. Botanists.
C. Researchers. D. Environmentalists.
D
Uber has picked Melbourne as the first city outside of the United States to test its flying taxis.
Test flights in the Australian city will begin next year with a goal of commercial ride-hailing (打车) services by 2023, it announced on Tuesday.
“We will see other Australian cities following soon after,” Susan Anderson, Uber's regional manager for Australia, said at the company's annual flying car conference in Washington DC.
Melbourne will be the third city to host trials of Uber's flying taxis, after Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, the electric taxis will be flown by a pilot.
Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies racing to make flying vehicles a reality. Other big names in the business include Rolls Royce and Boeing.
Even as it works on developing autonomous, electric flying vehicles–which are still several years away-Uber is taking its service to the skies in other ways.
The company will start a helicopter service on July 9, taking passengers from Manhattan to JFK Airport in eight minutes. It says customers who buy the roughly $200 ticket will save an hour of travel time during rush hour.
But the rollout (首次展示) of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in cities following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.
A helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Manhattan building on June 10, killing the pilot. This deadly accident came weeks after a helicopter crash in the Hudson River. There were no deaths in that incident.
“For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do,” said Eric Allison, Uber's head of Elevate.
Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-hailing service.
“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation (飞行) ride-share network that is safe, quiet and green,” Anderson said.
32. What can we learn about the flying taxis from the text
A. Most flying taxis are self-driving.
B. The flying taxi was first tried out in Melbourne.
C. Flying taxis could be used in Australia in several years.
D The flying taxis turned out to be a failure in America.
33. Why does the author mention Uber's helicopter service
A. To further introduce NASA's cooperation with Uber.
B. To show the challenges facing the flying taxi service.
C. To explain why Uber's technology stands out.
D. To describe the development of Uber's flying services.
34. What is the author's major concern about flying taxis
A. Safety. B. Management. C. Side effects. D. Affordability.
35. What is the author's attitude toward the flying taxi
A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Optimistic.

【解析】
【原文】W: The purpose of giving may be similar from place to place, but the tradition of giving varies from country to country. In today’s programme, let’s learn about the unique traditions of giving around the world. Here in the US, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding or holiday. However, in certain European countries like Germany, they think a knife presented as a gift will completely end your friendship. There’s a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom’s tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then “buy” these tie slices in exchange for cash. It’s a fun way to give money to the bride and groom that leaves guests with a wedding souvenir. In addition to a visit from Santa, Italian kids have their stockings filled by a witch on January 6th. Interestingly, gifts are not exchanged between or within companies. Australia is known for its friendliness and informality, so a business notebook or coffee cup would be a perfect gift for a business meeting. At trade shows, T-shirts, ties or baseball caps are perfect souvenirs. Okay, that’s all for today’s program. Have a nice day.
第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
June 18 is the birthday of my late sister, Tanya. She would have been 49 years old this year, but that's increasingly difficult for me to imagine. She is frozen in time at 37.
Tanya died more than a decade ago and the wound left by her loss has healed into a scar (疤痕). It's a big scar. You can't know me for very long without discovering my scar. Trust me; if you haven't found it on your own, I will point it out to you. I want you all to know that she existed, and that she mattered.
When we first lose a loved one, we ask, “How will I live without you ” and wounds are open and weeping. We don't know how we'll cope with the pain. But then the wounds form scars, and we learn to live with our new skins.
“How can I remember you ” we ask.
So many people are hesitant to talk about my sister. It is as though mentioning her will remind me that she is dead, and upset my balance when I am so stable and happy. But I never forget my sister, not for a moment.
And so I love it when people mention Tanya's name. Occasionally, I come across one of her friends, and they casually bring up a memory, and it is like a gift.
So if you have friends who have lost loved ones, please don't avoid talking about their loved one. You won't remind them of their loss, because it is always there. They haven't forgotten their scar. They just don't point it out to you.
Instead, try to reassure (使安心) them their loved one is not forgotten. Ask questions about the deceased (逝去的）person's life. Keep them alive in the only way you can after a person is gone, with your words and your memories.
I love hearing from friends on my sister's birthday, It makes her present, despite her absence. It reminds us all that she was here. She walked this earth. She was loved, and she mattered. And on June 18,I embrace (欣然接受) my scar.

Global warming does more than just kill plant species-it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.
Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller... to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.
There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect the changes in temperature...,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.
To understand it, they investigated the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,) seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems at 20℃. These stems become considerably longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.
28. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research
A. To study the negative effects of global warming.
B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming.
C. To observe how global warming affects plant growth.
D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants.
B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.
C. Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.
D. High temperatures decrease crop production.
30. What do we know about PIF4
A. It mainly exists in the cress seedlings.
B. It works differently at different temperatures.
C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.
D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.
31. Who will probably benefit most from the findings
A. Farmers. B. Botanists.
C. Researchers. D. Environmentalists.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。全球变暖不仅杀死了植物物种，还改变了植物的生长方式。有研究发现，全球变暖会导致农作物产量减少，且营养含量降低。文章还介绍了植物能够察觉温暖变化的原因是PIF4蛋白直接控制植物的生长。以及和研究人员发现了能够使高温下也能保持稳定的植物，并能生产许多农作物。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular processes of plant growth.In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.可知，Martin Luther大学的研究人员与Leibniz植物生物化学研究所(IPB)合作，发现了植物生长的分子过程。在科学期刊《当代生物学》上，他们介绍了他们关于高温植物生长的发现。这可能导致开发出能够抵御全球变暖的植物。由此判断出，为什么MLU和IPB的研究人员进行他们的研究是为了观察全球变暖如何影响植物生长。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When temperatures rise, plants grow taller... to cool themselves off. Their stalks become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.可知“当温度上升时，植物会长得更高……它们的茎变得更高，叶变得更窄，离得更远。然而，这使得植物总体上更加不稳定，”MLU的农业科学家Marcel Quint教授解释说。不稳定的植物在雨中弯得更快，产生的食物也更少，营养价值也更低。由此可知，温度升高最终会导致农作物产量减少，且营养含量降低，故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature.When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller.可知早期的研究表明，PIF4蛋白直接控制植物的生长，也依赖于温度。当天气寒冷时，PIF4不那么活跃，这意味着植物不能生长。在较高的温度下，PIF4激活生长促进基因，植物长高。由此可知，PIF4在不同的温度下工作不同。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The findings of the Halle group may help to breed plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.可知，Halle团队的研究发现可能有助于培育即使在高温下也能保持稳定的植物，并能生产许多农作物。由此可推知，农民最受益。故选A。
D
Uber has picked Melbourne as the first city outside of the United States to test its flying taxis.
Test flights in the Australian city will begin next year with a goal of commercial ride-hailing (打车) services by 2023, it announced on Tuesday.
“We will see other Australian cities following soon after,” Susan Anderson, Uber's regional manager for Australia, said at the company's annual flying car conference in Washington DC.
Melbourne will be the third city to host trials of Uber's flying taxis, after Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, the electric taxis will be flown by a pilot.
Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies racing to make flying vehicles a reality. Other big names in the business include Rolls Royce and Boeing.
Even as it works on developing autonomous, electric flying vehicles–which are still several years away-Uber is taking its service to the skies in other ways.
The company will start a helicopter service on July 9, taking passengers from Manhattan to JFK Airport in eight minutes. It says customers who buy the roughly $200 ticket will save an hour of travel time during rush hour.
But the rollout (首次展示) of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in cities, following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.
A helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Manhattan building on June 10, killing the pilot. This deadly accident came weeks after a helicopter crash in the Hudson River. There were no deaths in that incident.
“For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do,” said Eric Allison, Uber's head of Elevate.
Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-hailing service.
“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation (飞行) ride-share network that is safe, quiet and green,” Anderson said.
32. What can we learn about the flying taxis from the text
A. Most flying taxis are self-driving.
B. The flying taxi was first tried out in Melbourne.
C. Flying taxis could be used in Australia in several years.
D. The flying taxis turned out to be a failure in America.
33. Why does the author mention Uber's helicopter service
A. To further introduce NASA's cooperation with Uber.
B. To show the challenges facing the flying taxi service.
C. To explain why Uber's technology stands out.
D. To describe the development of Uber's flying services.
34. What is the author's major concern about flying taxis
A. Safety. B. Management. C. Side effects. D. Affordability.
35 What is the author's attitude toward the flying taxi
A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Optimistic.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文作者介绍了飞行出租车的发展和优势以及它所存在的安全问题。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段安德森说的话“We will see other Australian cities following soon after（我们很快就会看到澳大利亚其他城市效仿）”可知，飞行出租车可能在几年内在澳大利亚使用。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies racing to make flying vehicles a reality.（优步与美国国家航空航天局合作了名为Elevate的飞行出租车项目，是几家竞相让飞行交通工具成为现实的公司之一）”可推断，作者提到Uber的直升机服务是为了描述Uber飞行服务的发展。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“But the rollout (首次展示)of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in cities, following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.（但最近几周，纽约市发生了两起事故，人们对城市空中交通增加的安全担忧给这项服务的推出蒙上了阴影）”可知，关于飞行出租车，作者最关心的是安全问题。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。本文作者介绍了飞行出租车的发展和优势以及它所存在的安全问题.所以作者对飞行出租车的态度是客观的。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，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。
Do you often listen to music at loud volumes You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization(WHO).
Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noises for long periods of time, WHO said.____36____
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (dB,分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
____37____ Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞）in our inner ears. These cells detect sounds. However, listening to loud noises for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die._____38_____
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. ____39____For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, it may sound uncomfortably loud.
WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. ____40____.
A. This is what causes hearing loss.
B. But this can depend on where you are.
C. Loud noises are harmful to the inner ear.
D. There are different ways to protect your hearing.
E. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.
F. Young people are more sensitive to different sounds than elder people.
G. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了听大音量音乐的习惯对听力有害。世界卫生组织称超过10亿的年轻人在听力方面存在问题，因为他们长时间大音量听歌等。长时间聆听大音量的声音可能会造成某些细胞的死亡。这就是人们听力损失的原因。
【36题详解】
第一段第二句提到“You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing”（你应该知道这样的习惯对你的听力有害）第一段通过询问是否有听大音量的习惯展开下文，后文里应提到一些不好的习惯，同时第二段提到“Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noises for long periods of time”（超过10亿的年轻人由于长时间听大音量的噪音而面临听力损失的风险）由此判断后文中应提到具体的伤害听力的行为。G项“听大声的音乐或观看大声的电视节目会伤害你的听力”符合语境，其中的“Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes”都是损害听力的行为，符合第二段最后一句引起下文的作用，故选G。
【37题详解】
该空处需选择一句段首总起句。第四段第二句提到“Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells(听毛细胞）in our inner ears.”（我们大多数人出生时内耳中大约有16000个听毛细胞）可知，本段主要讲述大音量对内耳的伤害。C项“大噪音对内耳有伤害”符合语境，其中the inner ear与后文一致，故选C。
【38题详解】
该空处需选择一句段尾总结句。前文“listening to loud noises for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die.”（长时间听大噪音会使这些细胞工作过度，导致其中一些细胞死亡）提到了听毛细胞死亡的原因，A项“这就是造成听力损失的东西”复合语境，“hearing loss”是关键词，与上文构成明显的因果关系，故选A。
【39题详解】
该段段首句提到“Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud.”（有些人可能认为他们的音乐不是那么大声）并在后文中列举了两个地点“subway”（地铁）和“a quiet place”（一个安静的地方），由此判断在不同地方的音量给人的感觉有所不同。B项“但这取决你所在的地方”符合语境，其中的but与上下文是转折关系，且该选项中的“where you are”对应后文中的两个地点。故选B。
【40题详解】
最后一段第一句提到“WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week.”（世界卫生组织表示，大多数声音的“安全水平”是低于80分贝，每周持续40小时）由此可知，E项“80分贝的音量大致相当于地铁的噪音。”符合语境，其中的“A level of 80 decibels”与前文中提到的“80 decibels”一致，且E项是对前文safe level的解释说明。故选E。
第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分45分）
第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
