【原文】W: Welcome to the introduction to the London Tea Trade centre. Now, look at this picture. It's the London Tea Trade Centre. As you can see, it is on the north bank of the River Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has an average over four cups a day, or some one thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world's export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.
Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled teatasters before they are sold at each week's tea sale. It's amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.

My parents love tennis and they' re members of a tennis club. My older brother was really good at it and they supported him — taking him to lessons all the time. So when I announced I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up, I just intended for them to notice me. My mother laughed. She knew I couldn't possibly be serious, I was just a 4-year-old kid!
Later, I joined the club's junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, confident that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn't so successful. I didn't even want to be in the team photo because I didn't feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe I'd lost. I thought I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended well. I couldn't explain the result.
After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that I need the right attitude to be a winner. On court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I'll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.
At tournaments, it's impossible to avoid players who explode in anger. Lots of players can be negative, including myself sometimes. I felt angry and nearly broke my racket! But my coach has helped me develop ways to control those feelings. After all, the judges have a hard job and you just have to accept their decisions.
My coach demands that I train in the gym to make sure I'm strong right to the end of a tournament. I'm getting good results: my shots are more accurate and there's a chance that I could be a champion one day with hard work.

26. What does the author try to remember when he's on the court
A. Follow his game plan. B. Respect the other player.
C. Don't let the other player surprise him. D. Don't keep thinking about his mistakes.
27. What does the author say about his behaviour in tournaments
A. He tries to keep calm during the game. B. He broke his racket once when he was angry.
C. He stays away from players who behave badly. D. He found it difficult to deal with one judge's decisions.

Giant pandas are no longer endangered, Chinese officials have said, decades of work to save the creatures helped drive their population in the wild up to 1, 800. The species will be listed as vulnerable（易危物种）, Cui Shuhong, director of the Department of Natural Ecological Protection of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said at a press conference on Wednesday.
China has spent half a century attempting to boost the population of its famous animals, creating panda reserves across several mountain ranges in an effort to save them from extinction. They were taken off the endangered list by the International Union for Conservation of Nature（IUCN）in 2016, but that decision was not released by Chinese officials.
Since the 1970s, Chinese officials have worked on a campaign to drive up their numbers. To prevent habitat loss, officials created specially designed nature reserves in areas where their main food source, bamboo, is plentiful. In 2017, China announced plans for a 10,476- square-mile reserve, which is three times the size of Yellowstone National Park.
"China has established a relatively complete nature reserves system," Cui said on Wednesday as he announced the move. "Large areas of natural ecosystems have been systematically and completely protected, and wildlife habitats have been effectively improved."
Pandas are known in China as an umbrella species, which means experts believe measures to protect them would help protect other species, as well as the larger ecosystem. Cui added that the populations of some other rare and endangered species are gradually recovering as well. "The number of species such as Siberian tigers, Amur leopards, and Asian elephants has increased significantly." he said.
28. What have happened to giant pandas
A. They will never be protected in future. B. Their reserves will be decreasing sharply.
C. They were not listed as endangered species. D. They have to face the worsening situations.
29. What's the meaning of the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2
A. Increase. B. Maintain. C. Cancel. D. Reduce.
30. What's the area of Yellowstone National Park
A. 3,492 square meters. B. 3,492 square miles. C. 5,238 square miles. D. 5,238 square meters.
31. What can we know about an umbrella species
A. They can improve the production of umbrellas. B. Protecting it means endangering other species.
C. They are not at the top of food chain in nature. D. Protecting it is beneficial to a larger ecosystem.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国一直在采取措施保护大熊猫，大熊猫已经不再是濒危物种。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Giant pandas are no longer endangered, Chinese officials have said”（中国官员已经表示，大熊猫已不再濒临灭绝）以及“The species will be listed as vulnerable”（该物种将被列为易危物种）可知，大熊猫不再被列为濒危物种。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“creating panda reserves across several mountain ranges in an effort to save them from extinction.”（在多个山脉建立大熊猫保护区，以拯救它们免于灭绝）可知，中国建立保护区拯救大熊猫，使它们不会灭绝，所以中国花了半个世纪的时间使大熊猫的数量增长，推测划线单词表示“使增长”，与increase 同义。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2017, China announced plans for a 10,476- square-mile reserve, which is three times the size of Yellowstone National Park.”（2017年，中国宣布了10476平方英里保护区的计划，其面积是黄石国家公园的三倍。）可知，中国的保护区的面积是10476平方英里，是黄石国家公园的三倍，所以黄石国家公园的面积是3492平方英里。故选B项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Pandas are known in China as an umbrella species, which means experts believe measures to protect them would help protect other species, as well as the larger ecosystem.”（大熊猫在中国被称为保护伞物种，这意味着专家认为保护大熊猫的措施将有助于保护其他物种以及更大的生态系统。）可知，保护这种保护伞物种有利于更大的生态系统。故选D项。
D
Throwing a rock into a calm body of water creates a ripple (涟漪) effect across the calm pond, until those ripples reach the edge of the water. It can be a beautiful experience and it also explains how our actions affect other people. When we display love and kindness to others, the feeling ripples out to people in our inner circle, and the impact of our actions extends out further. The same logic also applies to hate or anger. It is important that we should begin being more thoughtful about our actions and words.
Love can reach so many different people, making it a powerful force in the world. Hate has the same effect. The world would be a better place if we learn to love and show kindness to others instead of anger. We can't always control what others do, but we have power over our actions and contribute our own ripples into the world.
We don't always know the impact that our actions have on others. There will be times when you are angry. Some people may feel a sense of temporary relief when they throw a rock of hate into the world, but that feeling usually changes into shame and anger towards oneself eventually. Hate hurts yourself and the world in the meanwhile. I recommend walking away for a while when you feel angry. Kindness is like perfume (香水). Spreading love and kindness not only has positive effects on others but also on ourselves. You get to enjoy it, and the people around you can enjoy it too. Personally, I feel my best when I help others and I feel my worst when I've made someone upset. When we put kindness into the world, we'll feel thankfulness, sympathy, and understanding. Let my kindness guide my decisions and this allows love and connection to ripple out into the world.
It's important that we take care of ourselves when we show love and kindness to others. When we love ourselves we're then able to love others. And when we let this love and kind- ness guide our decisions, the world will become more beautiful.
32. Why does the author mention the experience of throwing a rock into a pond
A. To teach us how to make big ripples. B. To introduce the topic of this text.
C. To see how the ripples spread in water. D. To share an interesting experience.
33. What does the author advise you to do when you are angry
A. Find a place to think over what has happened. B. Talk about your problems with someone else.
C. Stop those ripples of anger from spreading. D. Avoid seeing the person making you angry.
34. How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A. By referring to a theory. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving some examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
35. Which of the following can be the best tile for the text
A. Hate usually leads to shame and anger in the end B. Anger has a similar effect on our actions to kindness
C. Kindness or anger ripples out to other people nearby D. Love and kindness make the world much more beautiful
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文通过引用向水面扔石头激起涟漪的事实，进而类比引出生活中同样的行为也会影响到其他人。最终提出爱和善良会变得更美好。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It can be a beautiful experience and it also explains how our actions affect other people.”（它可以是一个美好的经历，也可以解释我们的行为如何影响其他人。）及“The same logic also applies to hate or anger. ”（同样的逻辑也适用于仇恨和愤怒。）可知，这是通过具体的事例：向池塘里扔石子激起涟漪，来说明类似的生活中的行为是可以影响其他人的。所以此处的事例列举是为了引出本文的话题。选项B与文意相符，故选B。
【33题详解】
推理理解题。根据第二段中“The world would be a better place if we learn to love and show kindness to others instead of anger. We can't always control what others do, but we have power over our actions and contribute our own ripples into the world.”（如果我们学会爱他人，善待他人，而不是愤怒，这个世界将会变得更美好。我们不能总是控制别人的所作所为，但我们对自己的所作所为拥有控制权，并为世界贡献自己的影响力。）可推知，当我们有了消极的情绪时，我们应该把自己的情绪控制住，选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据本段中“Hate hurts yourself and the world in the meanwhile. I recommend walking away for a while when you feel angry. Kindness is like perfume（香水）. Spreading love and kindness not only has positive effects on others but also on ourselves.”（仇恨会伤害你自己，同时也伤害整个世界。我建议当你生气的时候离开一段时间。善良就像香水。传播爱和善良不仅对他人有积极的影响，对我们自己也有积极的影响。）比较了当你把仇恨和善良传播给周围人的不同影响，所以本段主要是以做比较的手法来发展段落的选项B与文意相符，故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，本文在第一段通过引用向水面扔石头激起涟漪的事实，进而类比引出生活中同样的行为也会影响到其他人。第二段解释说爱和讨厌就是同样的行为结果。第三段利用对比的手法提出传播爱和善良不仅对他人有积极的影响，对我们自己也有积极的影响。你可以享受，你周围的人也可以享受。最后一段说明当我们爱自己的时候，我们就能爱别人。当我们让爱和善良指引我们的决定，世界将变得更加美好。所以本文主要论述了爱和善良会变得更美好。选项D与文意相符，故选D。

Simplicity is a lifestyle that takes away the unimportant things in your life. It removes or changes those things that cause you to feel stressed out, and allows you to absolutely focus on what’s important. Of course, no one can suddenly lead a simple life.____36____. Here are three excellent reasons.

When you’re satisfied, you don’t care if what you’re doing is popular or what society says you should do.____39____.
Simplicity helps you enjoy small things. When you choose to live a simple lifestyle, you’ll slow down your life and enjoy its little moments in an absolutely new way.____40____. Remember, though life is hard sometimes, slow down your life and enjoy little things that can bring you joy.

根据前句“Simplicity helps you feel content and happy.(简单让你感到满足和快乐)”和后句“It gives you a strong sense of freedom and warmth. (它给你一种强烈的自由和温暖的感觉。)”可知，这里陈述过简单的生活会给人以满足感，给人以平静。所以选择项A“Contentment is a satisfying calm (知足是一种令人满足的平静)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据本段首句“Simplicity helps you feel content and happy.(简单让你感到满足和快乐)”和前文“They do what they need to do peacefully. When you’re satisfied, you don’t care if what you’re doing is popular or what society says you should do. (他们会平静地做他们需要做的事。当你满足的时候，你不关心你所做的是否受欢迎，或者社会认为你应该做什么)”可知，过简单的生活会不在乎别人而安心做自己的事情，只会让自己满意。所以选择项E“In other words, simplicity helps you feel satisfied (换句话说，简单让你感到满足)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据前句“When you choose to live a simple lifestyle, you’ll slow down your life and enjoy its little moments in an absolutely new way. (当你选择过一种简单的生活方式时，你会放慢你的生活节奏，以一种全新的方式享受生活中的点点滴滴)”可知，欣赏日落或在雨中散步是生活中的点点滴滴的一部分。所以选择项G“You’ll feel free to enjoy a sunset or go for a walk in the rain (你可以尽情欣赏日落或在雨中散步)”符合上下文语境。故选G。

I have changed a lot since I take up running. Before I started running, I seldom did exercise. As a result of, I often fell ill. Once I was very weak that I fell down when having a P. E. class. From now on, I decided to exercise to make me strong. I kept running every morning whenever the weather was like. After running for half year, I found that I seldom caught a cold and I was much healthy than before. So far, I've learned that exercise is extreme important. It not only improves my health but also make me feel more relaxed.
【答案】1. take → took
2. 删除of
3. very → so
4. now → then
5. me → myself
6. whenever → whatever
7. year前加a
8. healthy → healthier
9. extreme → extremely
10. make → makes
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过比较我锻炼前后的健康表现，说明锻炼不仅能改善我的健康，还能让我感觉更放松。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：自从我开始跑步以来，我变了很多。since“自从”，其后的时间状语从句用一般过去时，主句的时态为现在完成时。所以此处take要改为took，故take改为took。
2.考查固定短语。句意：因此，我经常生病。短语：as a result“因此，结果”，常在句中作状语；as a result of“由于……结果”，其后要跟名词。结合本句句意，此处应为状语，故删除of。
3.考查so...that...的句型。句意：有一次我很虚弱，上体育课的时候摔倒了。固定句型：so...that...“如此……以至于……”为结果状语从句。所以very改为so。故very改为so。
4.考查短语。句意：从那时起，我决定锻炼身体，让自己变得强壮。根据句意，此处指在那次体育课之后，我决定锻炼身体。所以时间应为“那时”，故now改为then。
5.考查反身代词。句意同上。当主语和宾语为同一个人时，宾语要用反身代词。本句中我决定锻炼身体想使我自己变得强壮。所以me改为myself。故me改为myself。
6.考查让步状语从句。句意：不管天气如何，每天早上我都要跑步。固定句型：What's the weather like “天气怎么样？此处指不管天气怎样我都会跑步，表示泛指，所以要用whatever引导让步状语从句，作like的宾语。故whenever改为whatever。
7.考查冠词。句意：跑了半年后，我发现自己很少感冒，而且比以前更健康了。短语：half a year“半年”为固定结构，所以此处应在year前加a。故year前加a。
8.考查比较级。句意同上。结合句中than可知，healthy此处要用比较级healthier，故healthy改为healthier。
9.考查副词。句意：到目前为止，我已经知道锻炼是非常重要的。important“重要的”为形容词，所以前面应用副词来修饰，extreme“及其，非常”为形容词，其副词形式为extremely。故extreme改为extremely。
10.考查主谓一致。句意：它不仅能改善我的健康，还能让我感觉更放松。not only...but also...“不但……而且……”，为并列结构，所以本句中make的单复数应该和句子主语it保持一致，所以make改为makes。故make改为makes。

My parents love tennis and they' re members of a tennis club. My older brother was really good at it and they supported him — taking him to lessons all the time. So when I announced I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up, I just intended for them to notice me. My mother laughed. She knew I couldn't possibly be serious, I was just a 4-year-old kid!
Later, I joined the club's junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, confident that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn't so successful. I didn't even want to be in the team photo because I didn't feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe I'd lost. I thought I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended well. I couldn't explain the result.
After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that I need the right attitude to be a winner. On court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I'll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.
At tournaments, it's impossible to avoid players who explode in anger. Lots of players can be negative, including myself sometimes. I felt angry and nearly broke my racket! But my coach has helped me develop ways to control those feelings. After all, the judges have a hard job and you just have to accept their decisions.
My coach demands that I train in the gym to make sure I'm strong right to the end of a tournament. I'm getting good results: my shots are more accurate and there's a chance that I could be a champion one day with hard work.

Giant pandas are no longer endangered, Chinese officials have said, decades of work to save the creatures helped drive their population in the wild up to 1, 800. The species will be listed as vulnerable（易危物种）, Cui Shuhong, director of the Department of Natural Ecological Protection of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said at a press conference on Wednesday.
China has spent half a century attempting to boost the population of its famous animals, creating panda reserves across several mountain ranges in an effort to save them from extinction. They were taken off the endangered list by the International Union for Conservation of Nature（IUCN）in 2016, but that decision was not released by Chinese officials.
Since the 1970s, Chinese officials have worked on a campaign to drive up their numbers. To prevent habitat loss, officials created specially designed nature reserves in areas where their main food source, bamboo, is plentiful. In 2017, China announced plans for a 10,476- square-mile reserve, which is three times the size of Yellowstone National Park.
"China has established a relatively complete nature reserves system," Cui said on Wednesday as he announced the move. "Large areas of natural ecosystems have been systematically and completely protected, and wildlife habitats have been effectively improved."
Pandas are known in China as an umbrella species, which means experts believe measures to protect them would help protect other species, as well as the larger ecosystem. Cui added that the populations of some other rare and endangered species are gradually recovering as well. "The number of species such as Siberian tigers, Amur leopards, and Asian elephants has increased significantly." he said.
28. What have happened to giant pandas
A. They will never be protected in future. B. Their reserves will be decreasing sharply.
C. They were not listed as endangered species. D. They have to face the worsening situations.
29. What's the meaning of the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2
A. Increase. B. Maintain. C. Cancel. D. Reduce.
30. What's the area of Yellowstone National Park
A. 3,492 square meters. B. 3,492 square miles. C. 5,238 square miles. D. 5,238 square meters.
31. What can we know about an umbrella species
A. They can improve the production of umbrellas. B. Protecting it means endangering other species.
C. They are not at the top of food chain in nature. D. Protecting it is beneficial to a larger ecosystem.

Throwing a rock into a calm body of water creates a ripple (涟漪) effect across the calm pond, until those ripples reach the edge of the water. It can be a beautiful experience and it also explains how our actions affect other people. When we display love and kindness to others, the feeling ripples out to people in our inner circle, and the impact of our actions extends out further. The same logic also applies to hate or anger. It is important that we should begin being more thoughtful about our actions and words.
Love can reach so many different people, making it a powerful force in the world. Hate has the same effect. The world would be a better place if we learn to love and show kindness to others instead of anger. We can't always control what others do, but we have power over our actions and contribute our own ripples into the world.
We don't always know the impact that our actions have on others. There will be times when you are angry. Some people may feel a sense of temporary relief when they throw a rock of hate into the world, but that feeling usually changes into shame and anger towards oneself eventually. Hate hurts yourself and the world in the meanwhile. I recommend walking away for a while when you feel angry. Kindness is like perfume (香水). Spreading love and kindness not only has positive effects on others but also on ourselves. You get to enjoy it, and the people around you can enjoy it too. Personally, I feel my best when I help others and I feel my worst when I've made someone upset. When we put kindness into the world, we'll feel thankfulness, sympathy, and understanding. Let my kindness guide my decisions and this allows love and connection to ripple out into the world.
It's important that we take care of ourselves when we show love and kindness to others. When we love ourselves, we're then able to love others. And when we let this love and kind- ness guide our decisions, the world will become more beautiful.
32. Why does the author mention the experience of throwing a rock into a pond
A. To teach us how to make big ripples. B. To introduce the topic of this text.
C. To see how the ripples spread in water. D. To share an interesting experience.
33. What does the author advise you to do when you are angry
A. Find a place to think over what has happened. B. Talk about your problems with someone else.
C. Stop those ripples of anger from spreading. D. Avoid seeing the person making you angry.
34. How is the third paragraph mainly developed
A. By referring to a theory. B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving some examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
35. Which of the following can be the best tile for the text
A. Hate usually leads to shame and anger in the end B. Anger has a similar effect on our actions to kindness
C. Kindness or anger ripples out to other people nearby D. Love and kindness make the world much more beautiful
