Every year, countless individuals are impacted by cancer. Our goal is to walk away from cancer as we give strength to those fighting this life-threatening disease. Walk Cancer Away invites everyone to participate in our annual family friendly walk event and join together to share the strong will power found inside each of us with those around us. With each step we take, with each story shared, and with each donation made we are one step closer to finding a cure.

In many cases, their continued efforts have led to full remission of the cancer in patients. With the deepest gratitude we are thankful to all those who support and participate in the event each year, because without you this would not be possible.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了,澳洲大火肆虐,许多动物丧生,17岁的Ratelle在了解野生动物救援和救济机构需要针织袋子后,决定自己学习缝纫技术并做袋子捐给慈善机构。
1.主旨大意题。由第一段“When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire-ravaged(火灾肆虐的)Australia, she decided to do something about it.”(当Rachel Ratelle在火灾肆虐的澳大利亚看到一段新闻录像,一只被烧伤的考拉试图爬上一棵树到安全的地方,她决定做点什么。)和第二段“She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子)and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.”(她查阅了澳大利亚野生动物救援和救济机构,以了解他们最需要什么。除了捐款,许多组织还要求为在火灾中被烧毁或失去家园和父母的考拉和其他动物提供手工缝制的编织袋和包裹。),可知前两段主要讲是什么激发了Ratelle学习缝纫,说明她学习缝纫的原因/动机。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。由倒数第三段中的“"It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way," said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.”(Ratelle说,“它让我觉得我对世界做出了贡献,它表明了一个简单的善举是如何发挥巨大作用的。”,她希望将来能成为一名护士从业者。),可知Ratelle觉得自己对世界做出了贡献,可推断出当Ratelle收到FAWNA寄来的照片时,她感觉很自豪。故选C项。
3.词义猜测题。由倒数第二段中的“"I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated by natural disaster," she said.”(她说:“我计划用我的新缝纫技巧来帮助被自然灾害摧毁的动物和人们。”),根据help animals and people和natural disaster,可知此处指“帮助被自然灾害摧毁的动物和人们”,devastated在此处意为“Ruined(毁坏的)”。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。由最后一段中的“For Newberry, "It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves," she said.”(对于Newberry来说,“这是一个巨大的推动,使我们手工艺者、缝纫者意识到,我们可以做更多的事情,而不仅仅是为自己制造东西,”她说。),可知Newberry认为,手工艺者、缝纫者除了做衣服外,还有很多事情可以做,例如,做编织袋子给动物,可推断出手工艺者、缝纫者可以为动物提供更多帮助。故选D项。

本文讲述了作者在减肥上转变的心路历程,由最初的节食、不注重健康的减肥方式转变为了注重运动,对自我保持积极态度的减肥方式,最终作者获得了成功,也变得越来越开心,越来越健康。
1.B解析句意:我担心自己的体重,尝试每种我在网上读到的节食方法。根据上文的“I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV”可知,作者想要苗条,故此处用“体重”符合语境。
2.C解析after all“毕竟”;as long as“只要”;instead of“而非”;only if“只要……就”。根据下文的“Instead of saying ‘I want to lose three kilos’”可知,此处用“而非/而不是”符合语境。
3.D解析根据下文的“Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight”可知,此处用“健康的”符合语境。
4.B解析句意:我没想到一个字母就会有如此大的影响。结合上下文可知,此处是指作者按照文章里的说法去做了之后,自己有了很大改变,这些改变是她没有想到的。have no idea“没想到/不知道”。
5.C解析summary“总结”;fortune“运气,财富”;difference“不同”;chance“机会”。根据下文的“I became both happier and ”可知,作者改变方法后,她比以前更高兴了,故此处用“有影响”符合语境。make a difference“有影响,起作用”。
6.B解析句意:一旦我开始思考健康而非体重,事情开始改变了。lose“丢失”;change“改变”;survive“幸存”;suit“适合”。结合下文提到的内容可知,作者对待体重的态度发生了改变。
7.C解析句意:我会说“我想在8分钟里跑两千米”或者“我想做30个俯卧撑”,而非“我想减掉3千克”。根据“two kilometers in eight minutes”可知,此处用“跑”符合语境,故选C项。
8.B解析句意:没有删除我喜欢吃的食物,而是在餐食里添加了健康的食物。 take in“吸收”;cut out“切除,删除”;put off“推迟”;make up“组成,编造”。结合句意可知,此处是指作者没有停止吃那些自己喜欢但又不那么健康的食物。
9.A解析结合上下文可知,此处是指作者依然会吃不那么健康的食物。
10.B解析根据上文的“I added healthy foods to my meals”可知,此处用“加上”符合语境,add是原词复现,故选B项。
11.D解析句意:最后,我不再把自己和女演员以及模特作比较,也不再去寻找我的脸或身体的不足之处。根据上文的“I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible.”可以推断,作者经常把自己和演员及模特比较。
12.A解析look for“寻找”;get rid of“摆脱”;pass down“流传,继承”;manage to“设法做成”。结合句意可知,此处是指作者不想和演员及模特对比来寻找她自己的不足。
13.B解析句意:相反,我列出了一系列我喜欢自己的地方。 maintain“维持”;like“喜欢”;refuse“拒绝”;realize“意识,实现”。根据下文的“I became both happier...”可推断,作者开始欣赏自己,所以列出对自己感到喜欢的地方。
14.D解析句意:通过对自己和自己的身体保持积极向上的态度,我变得既高兴又健康。 inspired“受到启发的”;determined“有决心的”;ashamed“羞愧的”;positive“积极的”。根据“I became both happier...”可知,此处应选择一个正向的、感彩和happier一致的词。
15.C解析根据上文的“Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight”可知,此处用“更健康的”符合语境。
五:语法填空
1考查时态。句意:25岁的范玉佩早上7点就起床了,她打扫卫生,给院子里的花浇水,然后打开她的钧瓷制作工作室的门,准备开始新的一天的工作。根据连词and前面的cleans和waters可知,这里用一般现在时。主语是第三人称单数,动词用单数形式。故填opens。
2考查形容词比较级。句意:辞去了在北京的工作,和丈夫一起创办了自己的工作室,在她的家乡禹州市的神垕镇生活,对于范玉佩来说更开心了。根据句意可知,用形容词的比较级形式,much修饰比较级。故填happier。
3考查非谓语动词。句意:钧瓷是中国五大瓷器之一,可追溯到宋代,以其在窑中加热后颜色的变化而闻名。date back to追溯到,为不及物动词短语,date back to与其逻辑主语Jun porcelain之间是主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填dating。
4考查定语从句。句意:钧瓷是中国五大瓷器之一,可追溯到宋代,以其在窑中加热后颜色的变化而闻名。分析句子结构,4 is famous for its change of colors when heated in kilns. 是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Jun porcelain ,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,用关系代词which引导该从句,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
5考查时态和语态。句意:现在它(已经)被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。此句陈述客观事实,所以可以用一般现在时;也可以理解为到现在为止,已经被列为国家级非物质文化遗产,所以可以用现在完成时。主语it与list之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填is listed / has been listed。
6考查固定用法。句意:神垕镇是钧瓷之乡。the home to......的家乡,该用法是固定用法。故填 to。
7考查非谓语动词。句意:近日,禹州市当地政府出台了一系列措施来促进这类生产。这里用不定式作目的状语。故填to promote。
3考查代词。句意:他们把钧瓷生产与现代艺术结合起来,经常一起分享设计的想法。该空作句子主语,这里指代范玉佩和她的丈夫,所以用主格they,句子第一个单词首字母大写。故填They。
9考查名词的数。句意:他们把钧瓷生产与现代艺术结合起来,经常一起分享设计的想法。名词thought当“想法”讲时,为可数名词,根据designs可知用复数形式。故填thoughts。
10考查名词。句意:随着每天来神垕参观的游客越来越多,范玉佩相信钧瓷在未来会越来越受欢迎。定冠词the后接名词作宾语,且confidence是不可数名词。故填confidence。
