More than 35 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural (农村的) India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 5-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district from a bird's-eye view. He thought, "On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station"—and there it was. "And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain"—and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. "There's something about me," he thought—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, "My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion(核聚变). I just didn't know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her."
1.Why was Brierley separated from his family about 35 years ago
A.He got on a train by mistake. B.He got lost while playing in the street.
C.He was taken away by a foreigner. D.He was adopted by an Australian family.
2.How did Brierley find his hometown
A.By analyzing old pictures. B.By travelling all around India.
C.By studying digital maps D.By spreading his story via his book.
3.What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview
A.His love for his mother. B.His reunion with his mother.
C.His long way back home. D.His memory of his hometown.
B
By day, Robert Titterman is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterman is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot," Mr Titterman explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterman said. "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's absorbed in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
4.What should Titterman be able to do to be a page turner
A.Read music. B.Play the piano. C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
5.Which of the following best describes Titterman's job on stage
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
6.What does Titterman need to practise
A.Counting the pages. B.Recognizing the "nodding".
C.Catching falling objects. D.Performing in his own style.
7.Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst page turner"
A.He has very poor eyesight. B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music. D.He forgets to do his job.
C
Most New Yorkers wouldn't dream of eating a fish from New York Harbor. But it hasn't always been that way. When Henry Hudson entered New York Harbor in 1609, he had to sail the Half Moon around 220,000 acres of oyster reefs(生蚝礁), which had fed the local Lenape people for generations. But all that changed due to overharvesting and a flood of pollution in the water. The oyster reefs disappeared, and the harbor became a no-go zone in New Yorkers' minds.
But today, a team of high school students, scientists and volunteers are working to change that. "Through the work of restoring(使恢复) a billion oysters, we hope to reintroduce the harbor into the awareness of New Yorkers," says Pete Malinowski, director of the Billion Oyster Project, which aims to re-establish oyster reefs in the harbor.
Much of the pollution in the harbor today comes from the overflow of sewage (污水), which occurs when heavy rain destroys the city's combined sewage system, leaving waste water flowing into the harbor. Sewage contains a lot of nitrogen (氮), an important nutrient (滋养物) for plants and animals. But too much nitrogen brings too much seaweed, which draws oxygen out of the water to create so-called dead zones.
Oysters are more than just a popular food. They also help clean the water. They can remove nitrogen and absorb it into their shells and tissue. Near oyster reefs, the water is often clearer.
The goal of the Billion Oyster Project is to have 1 billion oysters in the harbor by 2035. They still probably won't be safe to eat. But the project is using this effort to educate the next generation of New Yorkers about the harbor and to inspire interest in restoring and protecting it.
8.What can we infer about oysters in 1609
A.They were got rid of by Henry Hudson. B.They were raised by the Lenape people.
C.They were very rich in New York Harbor. D.They were disliked by most New Yorkers.
9.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The causes of a dirty New York Harbor.
B.The outdated sewage system in New York.
C.The important nutrient for plants and animals.
D.The overgrowth of sea plants in New York Harbor.
10.How do oysters clean up water
A.By eating sea plants. B.By taking in nitrogen.
C.By drinking waste water. D.By absorbing oxygen from the air.
11.What is the purpose of the Billion Oyster Project
A.To improve New York's sewage system.
B.To restore the oyster business in New York.
C.To raise people's awareness of New York Harbor.
D.To encourage students in research on sea creatures.
D
Margaret Mead, one of the most famous anthropologists (人类学家) in the world, was born in the USA in 1901, the oldest of five children. Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist. After studying psychology as an undergraduate, Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology. Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as "laboratories" that would reveal ways of living that the modem world had forgotten about but needed to remember.
Having travelled to Samon, a few tiny volcanic, tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones. For example, Americans tend to think of men as productive, sensible, and aggressive, while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful, and nurturing. But in her 1935 book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe, both men and women were peaceful and nurturing, while among the Mundugumor tribe, men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.
Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings, or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors. Rather, it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual’s psychological make-up. "We must recognize," she reminded her readers, "that beneath the superficial(表面上的) classifications of sex and race, the same potentialities always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them."
She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century. People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in 1978. A year later, the president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.
12.What can we learn about Mead from the text
A.She was influenced by her mother to be an anthropologist.
B.She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.
C.She believed isolated cultures could expose forgotten ways of living to the modem world.
D.She discovered modem societies are less strict in gender roles than primitive ones.
13.It can be inferred from Mead’s study in tribes that _________.
A.the world is filled with separate cultures
B.no gender characteristics are ever simply "human nature"
C.knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own
D.social standards are responsible for individual's development
14.What does the underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refer to
A.Shared potential among humans. B.Classifications of gender and race.
C.Social expectations and norms. D.Individual's psychological make-up.
15.What's the passage mainly about
A.The difference between men and women. B.The recommendation of Mead's book.
C.The introduction to a great anthropologist. D.The groundwork for each individual's make-up.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 16_________ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 17_________ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 18_________ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
19_________ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the comer to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $ 18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 20_________ When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.

第二节
答案：16-20：FCGEA
解析：本文主要讲述了作者夫妇两人在巴黎居住的感受。首先,作者介绍了她住的房子;其次,说明了巴黎人生活非常精致的原因;最后,说明法国人对待生活的态度,相较于工作效率他们更看重生活品质。
16上文"My husband and I just spent a week in Paris."说明了背景;下文"So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard."是空格处的结果,因此空格处需要填原因。根据F项"Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians."可知,作者要在巴黎住下来,所以需要租房子,两句构成因果关系。故选F项。
17上文"The place wasn't entirely authentic, though."是段落的中心句,说明第二段主要内容是讲解公寓的情况;下文提到了楼宇和电梯的情况。C项"There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed."提到了厨房和床,这些都属于公寓的配置。故选C项。
18上文"...they eat great food and never gain weight"提及了食物;下文"French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs."说明法国的草莓很好吃。结合上下文可知,因为法国的食物质量很高,所以不用吃很多就能很满足,同时吃得少也就不会发胖了。G项"The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy."符合语境。故选G项。
19第四段主要描述了作者夫妻去采购了食物,买了草莓。下文"My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!"说明法国的水果好吃但是也很贵。选项E "That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do."承接了上一段关于法国人吃得好但是不胖的话题,同时引起下文,给出了法国人吃得少的另一个原因:物价贵。故选E项。
20根据上文"In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency. You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded."可知,上文说明了法国人对待工作不是很积极且咖啡馆里顾客很多;下文"When do these people work "是一个问句,说明本句属于过渡句,承接上文说明咖啡馆里造成客人拥挤的情况,A选项中的"customers"符合咖啡馆的情境设定,同时讲述了不是所有的客人都是游客,那么意味着大部分人都是当地人,符合下文的提问。故选A项。
第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：21-25.ACDBA; 26-30.CBADB; 31-35.ADBBD
解析：21.句意:每年我都会在日历上圈出春天的第一天,这样它就不会悄悄溜走。unnoticed未注意的;unrequested未被要求的;unrealistic非现实的;unchallenged没有异议的。根据下文"Spring comes when it's good and ready; sometimes well before...sometimes well after.",可知,春天的到来或早或迟,很容易在不经意间溜走。故选A项。
22.句意:我不确定为什么要依靠日历来宣布春天的到来,因为它和这件事没有什么关系。put away把……收起来;learn about了解;depend on依靠;make up构成。根据后文"since it has so little bearing on the matter"可知,此处是指作者不明白既然春天和日历没什么关系,为什么大家还要依靠日历。故选C项。
23.句意:春天有时按时到来;有时早来,有时晚来。working工作的;closing关闭的;equipped配备的;appointed约定的,指定的。根据上文"circle the first day of spring on our calendar"及"Spring comes when it's good and ready; sometimes well before...sometimes well after."可知,大家都先在日历上做记号,标注日期。但是有时春天按时到来,有时在指定日期前来,有时在指定日期后来。故选D项。
24.多年来,我们镇都是由Leon和Jo Martin提示春天的到来。ignored忽视;indicated表明,暗示;celebrated庆祝;interrupted插嘴。根据“It was as 7 an indication of spring as any calendar"可知,Leon和Jo Martin可以暗示我们春天来了。故选B项。
25.句意:每年他们都会在他们的招牌上张贴“Now Hiring(现在开始招租)”的字样。post张贴,宣布;receive接收;exchange交换;coin创造。根据"the words 'Now Hiring' on their sign"可知,Leon和Jo Martin把写着"Now Hiring"字样的牌子张贴在招牌上。故选A项。
26.句意:我路过时,会看到Leon和Jo Martin正在为春季开业做准备。searching搜索;charging控告,收费;readying准备;demanding要求。根据"'Now Hiring' on their sign"可知,Leon和Jo Martin挂上这个提示牌是为春季开业做准备。故选C项。
27.这种春天的暗示如同日历一样准确。general普通的;accurate精确的;casual随意的;invisible看不见的。结合上下文可知,此处是指Leon和Jo Martin春季开门营业的时间就如同Dairy Queen的作用一样,能精确地提示春天的到来。故选B项。
28.在Dairy Queen被卖给外地的某个团队之后,这个店面全年开业。这影响了我们的昼夜节律。open打开的;neat干净的;stylish时髦的;fresh新鲜的。根据"it threw off our town's circadian rhythms"可知,原来Dairy Queen只有招租时才提示镇民春天要来了,而卖出去之后却起不到提示春天到来的作用了,可推测新店和Dairy Queen开业的时间不一样。故选A项。
29.句意:幸运的是,当Johnston的杂货店停止出售扫雪机,开始卖割草机时,那就预示着冬天要过去了。Naturally自然地;Surprisingly惊奇地;Specifically特有地;Fortunately幸运地。根据"that's a pretty good 11 winter's grip has loosened"可知,它可以提示冬天要过去了,春天要来了,所以人们觉得很幸运。故选D项。
30.句意同上。admits承认;ceases停止;considers考虑;suggests建议。根据"starts selling lawn mowers...winters grip has loosened"可知,杂货店开始卖割草机,预示冬天过去,所以不卖扫雪机了。故选B项。
31.句意同第9题。sign迹象;chance机会;function功能;preparation准备。根据"starts selling lawn mowers"可知,商店已经开始卖割草机了,所以预示着春天要来了。故选A项。
32.句意:但是我们可以设想一下,如果Johnston的杂货店不尽职责,那么我们就意识不到春天到了。clear清楚的;guilty愧疚的;worthy值得的;unaware无意识的。由语境可知选D项。
33.句意:当第一片树叶在秋天枯干落到地上时,Bill会穿上他的棕色卡哈特大衣,直到明年春天才脱下来。Although虽然;When当……时;Because因为;Until直到……为止。根据句意可知,此处用when引导时间状语从句。故选B项。

第二节：
答案：called; undesirable; themselves; Rescuers; broke; remaining; a; are believed; where; to
解析：本文是一篇说明文。在新西兰南岛的北端,有一个长长的沙洲,叫做永别沙洲,在这里经常有鲸鱼因搁浅而死亡。
36考查过去分词。句意:在新西兰南岛的北端,有一个长长的沙洲,叫做永别沙洲。动词call意为“叫做”和逻辑主语a long bar of sand构成动宾关系,应用过去分词做后置定语。故填called。
37考查形容词。句意:这个地区很有名,却是因为一个不受欢迎的原因。修饰名词reason应用形容词,且根据"I's a hotspot of whale stranding."可知,此处应用负面性质的形容词。故填undesirable。
38考查反身代词。句意:鲸鱼搁浅在海滩上。结合语境可知,此处宾语和主语所指相同,即鲸鱼,故宾语用反身代词。故填themselves。
39考查名词复数。句意:救援人员花了几个小时试图让它们浮起来,但有100只死亡。结合句子结构和句意可知,此处应用指人的名词rescuer“救援者”做主语。结合语境可知,救援人员不止一人,故用复数形式。故填Rescuers。
40考查一般过去时。句意:没有水的支持,它们身体的重量破坏了它们的肌肉。分析句子结构可知,此处是句子的谓语动词,且指过去发生的事,应用一般过去时。故填broke。
41考查形容词。句意:剩下的鲸鱼被志愿者用水桶和铁锹尽可能地给水和保持舒适。修饰名词whales应用形容词。形容词remaining意为“剩下的”,符合语境。故填remaining。
42考查不定冠词和固定搭配。句意:在“公众”成员的帮助下,鲸鱼第二次浮了起来,现在人们认为鲸鱼已经回到了海上。结合句意可知,表示“再次,又一次”应用a second time。故填a。
43考查被动语态和一般现在时。句意同上。此处为and连接的并列句的谓语动词,动词believe和主语the whales构成动宾关系,且根据时间状语now可知,应用一般现在时,主语whales是复数,be动词用are。故填are believed。
44考查定语从句。句意:像永别角这样的海滩可能是最著名的鲸鱼死亡之地。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,关系词代替先行词place在从句中充当地点状语,应用关系副词where。故填where。
45考查介词和固定搭配。句意:从各方面来看,这些鲸鱼似乎是由于游得太靠近海岸而自杀的。表示“靠近”应用be close to。故填to。

第二节
答案：
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too. "What a wonderful plan! I will give you a hand!" she said, with a bright smile spreading across her face. Soon they hurried to see Bernard and told him the plan excitedly. Hearing that, Bernard jumped wildly with joy. Then the four kids took out a big box of corn sent by Uncle John. Mrs. Meredith took the lead to make paper bags. John and Bernard were busy in popping the corn while Harry and Clara put the popcorn into each bag. Every one was fully devoted to their jobs. Soon, all the paper bags were full of hot, sweet popcorn and the delicious smell filled the air in the yard.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He visited his neighbors from door to door to sell his popcorn. In spite of struggling to make ends meet, people in the community were willing to buy some popcorn to support Bernard's small business. For weeks, the quiet neighborhood turned into hustle and bustle, as long as the children doing their popcorn business. Through everyone's effort, the situation in Bernard's family gradually turned around. The Meredith family's love, through the sweet aroma of popcorn, floated all around the community.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
More than 35 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural (农村的) India. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 5-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn't help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn't know his town's name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program's satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town's central business district from a bird's-eye view. He thought, "On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station"—and there it was. "And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain"—and there it was. Everything just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. "There's something about me," he thought—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, "My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was like a nuclear fusion(核聚变). I just didn't know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her."
1.Why was Brierley separated from his family about 35 years ago
A.He got on a train by mistake. B.He got lost while playing in the street.
C.He was taken away by a foreigner. D.He was adopted by an Australian family.
2.How did Brierley find his hometown
A.By analyzing old pictures. B.By travelling all around India.
C.By studying digital maps D.By spreading his story via his book.
3.What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview
A.His love for his mother. B.His reunion with his mother.
C.His long way back home. D.His memory of his hometown.
B
By day, Robert Titterman is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterman is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot," Mr Titterman explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand," Mr Titterman said. "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner," she laughed. "He's absorbed in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
4.What should Titterman be able to do to be a page turner
A.Read music. B.Play the piano. C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
5.Which of the following best describes Titterman's job on stage
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
6.What does Titterman need to practise
A.Counting the pages. B.Recognizing the "nodding".
C.Catching falling objects. D.Performing in his own style.
7.Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst page turner"
A.He has very poor eyesight. B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music. D.He forgets to do his job.
C
Most New Yorkers wouldn't dream of eating a fish from New York Harbor. But it hasn't always been that way. When Henry Hudson entered New York Harbor in 1609, he had to sail the Half Moon around 220,000 acres of oyster reefs(生蚝礁), which had fed the local Lenape people for generations. But all that changed due to overharvesting and a flood of pollution in the water. The oyster reefs disappeared, and the harbor became a no-go zone in New Yorkers' minds.
But today, a team of high school students, scientists and volunteers are working to change that. "Through the work of restoring(使恢复) a billion oysters, we hope to reintroduce the harbor into the awareness of New Yorkers," says Pete Malinowski, director of the Billion Oyster Project, which aims to re-establish oyster reefs in the harbor.
Much of the pollution in the harbor today comes from the overflow of sewage (污水), which occurs when heavy rain destroys the city's combined sewage system, leaving waste water flowing into the harbor. Sewage contains a lot of nitrogen (氮), an important nutrient (滋养物) for plants and animals. But too much nitrogen brings too much seaweed, which draws oxygen out of the water to create so-called dead zones.
Oysters are more than just a popular food. They also help clean the water. They can remove nitrogen and absorb it into their shells and tissue. Near oyster reefs, the water is often clearer.
The goal of the Billion Oyster Project is to have 1 billion oysters in the harbor by 2035. They still probably won't be safe to eat. But the project is using this effort to educate the next generation of New Yorkers about the harbor and to inspire interest in restoring and protecting it.
8.What can we infer about oysters in 1609
A.They were got rid of by Henry Hudson. B.They were raised by the Lenape people.
C.They were very rich in New York Harbor. D.They were disliked by most New Yorkers.
9.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The causes of a dirty New York Harbor.
B.The outdated sewage system in New York.
C.The important nutrient for plants and animals.
D.The overgrowth of sea plants in New York Harbor.
10.How do oysters clean up water
A.By eating sea plants. B.By taking in nitrogen.
C.By drinking waste water. D.By absorbing oxygen from the air.
11.What is the purpose of the Billion Oyster Project
A.To improve New York's sewage system.
B.To restore the oyster business in New York.
C.To raise people's awareness of New York Harbor.
D.To encourage students in research on sea creatures.
D
Margaret Mead, one of the most famous anthropologists (人类学家) in the world, was born in the USA in 1901, the oldest of five children. Her father was a professor of finance and her mother was a sociologist. After studying psychology as an undergraduate, Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology. Mead was particularly interested in primitive communities because she believed that such isolated cultures could serve as "laboratories" that would reveal ways of living that the modem world had forgotten about but needed to remember.
Having travelled to Samon, a few tiny volcanic, tropical islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones. For example, Americans tend to think of men as productive, sensible, and aggressive, while women are often told they're more light-hearted, peaceful, and nurturing. But in her 1935 book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, Mead studied tribes in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe, both men and women were peaceful and nurturing, while among the Mundugumor tribe, men and women were both ruthless and aggressive.
Mead's striking conclusion is that it isn't gender that makes women curl their hair or listen to people's feelings, or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors. Rather, it's the social expectations and norms that have laid the groundwork for each individual’s psychological make-up. "We must recognize," she reminded her readers, "that beneath the superficial(表面上的) classifications of sex and race, the same potentialities always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them."
She is regarded as one of the most influential social scientists of the last century. People around the world mourned the death of Margaret Mead in 1978. A year later, the president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, honored the social scientist with America's highest award for civilians.
12.What can we learn about Mead from the text
A.She was influenced by her mother to be an anthropologist.
B.She majored in psychology and anthropology as an undergraduate.
C.She believed isolated cultures could expose forgotten ways of living to the modem world.
D.She discovered modem societies are less strict in gender roles than primitive ones.
13.It can be inferred from Mead’s study in tribes that _________.
A.the world is filled with separate cultures
B.no gender characteristics are ever simply "human nature"
C.knowing another culture will help us reflect on our own
D.social standards are responsible for individual's development
14.What does the underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refer to
A.Shared potential among humans. B.Classifications of gender and race.
C.Social expectations and norms. D.Individual's psychological make-up.
15.What's the passage mainly about
A.The difference between men and women. B.The recommendation of Mead's book.
C.The introduction to a great anthropologist. D.The groundwork for each individual's make-up.

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 16_________ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked. 17_________ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes," in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame I don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 18_________ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
19_________ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the comer to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $ 18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 20_________ When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

第二节
答案：16-20：FCGEA
解析：本文主要讲述了作者夫妇两人在巴黎居住的感受。首先,作者介绍了她住的房子;其次,说明了巴黎人生活非常精致的原因;最后,说明法国人对待生活的态度,相较于工作效率他们更看重生活品质。
16上文"My husband and I just spent a week in Paris."说明了背景;下文"So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard."是空格处的结果,因此空格处需要填原因。根据F项"Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians."可知,作者要在巴黎住下来,所以需要租房子,两句构成因果关系。故选F项。
17上文"The place wasn't entirely authentic, though."是段落的中心句,说明第二段主要内容是讲解公寓的情况;下文提到了楼宇和电梯的情况。C项"There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed."提到了厨房和床,这些都属于公寓的配置。故选C项。
18上文"...they eat great food and never gain weight"提及了食物;下文"French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs."说明法国的草莓很好吃。结合上下文可知,因为法国的食物质量很高,所以不用吃很多就能很满足,同时吃得少也就不会发胖了。G项"The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy."符合语境。故选G项。
19第四段主要描述了作者夫妻去采购了食物,买了草莓。下文"My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!"说明法国的水果好吃但是也很贵。选项E "That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do."承接了上一段关于法国人吃得好但是不胖的话题,同时引起下文,给出了法国人吃得少的另一个原因:物价贵。故选E项。
20根据上文"In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency. You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded."可知,上文说明了法国人对待工作不是很积极且咖啡馆里顾客很多;下文"When do these people work "是一个问句,说明本句属于过渡句,承接上文说明咖啡馆里造成客人拥挤的情况,A选项中的"customers"符合咖啡馆的情境设定,同时讲述了不是所有的客人都是游客,那么意味着大部分人都是当地人,符合下文的提问。故选A项。
第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：21-25.ACDBA; 26-30.CBADB; 31-35.ADBBD
解析：21.句意:每年我都会在日历上圈出春天的第一天,这样它就不会悄悄溜走。unnoticed未注意的;unrequested未被要求的;unrealistic非现实的;unchallenged没有异议的。根据下文"Spring comes when it's good and ready; sometimes well before...sometimes well after.",可知,春天的到来或早或迟,很容易在不经意间溜走。故选A项。
22.句意:我不确定为什么要依靠日历来宣布春天的到来,因为它和这件事没有什么关系。put away把……收起来;learn about了解;depend on依靠;make up构成。根据后文"since it has so little bearing on the matter"可知,此处是指作者不明白既然春天和日历没什么关系,为什么大家还要依靠日历。故选C项。
23.句意:春天有时按时到来;有时早来,有时晚来。working工作的;closing关闭的;equipped配备的;appointed约定的,指定的。根据上文"circle the first day of spring on our calendar"及"Spring comes when it's good and ready; sometimes well before...sometimes well after."可知,大家都先在日历上做记号,标注日期。但是有时春天按时到来,有时在指定日期前来,有时在指定日期后来。故选D项。
24.多年来,我们镇都是由Leon和Jo Martin提示春天的到来。ignored忽视;indicated表明,暗示;celebrated庆祝;interrupted插嘴。根据“It was as 7 an indication of spring as any calendar"可知,Leon和Jo Martin可以暗示我们春天来了。故选B项。
25.句意:每年他们都会在他们的招牌上张贴“Now Hiring(现在开始招租)”的字样。post张贴,宣布;receive接收;exchange交换;coin创造。根据"the words 'Now Hiring' on their sign"可知,Leon和Jo Martin把写着"Now Hiring"字样的牌子张贴在招牌上。故选A项。
26.句意:我路过时,会看到Leon和Jo Martin正在为春季开业做准备。searching搜索;charging控告,收费;readying准备;demanding要求。根据"'Now Hiring' on their sign"可知,Leon和Jo Martin挂上这个提示牌是为春季开业做准备。故选C项。
27.这种春天的暗示如同日历一样准确。general普通的;accurate精确的;casual随意的;invisible看不见的。结合上下文可知,此处是指Leon和Jo Martin春季开门营业的时间就如同Dairy Queen的作用一样,能精确地提示春天的到来。故选B项。
28.在Dairy Queen被卖给外地的某个团队之后,这个店面全年开业。这影响了我们的昼夜节律。open打开的;neat干净的;stylish时髦的;fresh新鲜的。根据"it threw off our town's circadian rhythms"可知,原来Dairy Queen只有招租时才提示镇民春天要来了,而卖出去之后却起不到提示春天到来的作用了,可推测新店和Dairy Queen开业的时间不一样。故选A项。
29.句意:幸运的是,当Johnston的杂货店停止出售扫雪机,开始卖割草机时,那就预示着冬天要过去了。Naturally自然地;Surprisingly惊奇地;Specifically特有地;Fortunately幸运地。根据"that's a pretty good 11 winter's grip has loosened"可知,它可以提示冬天要过去了,春天要来了,所以人们觉得很幸运。故选D项。
30.句意同上。admits承认;ceases停止;considers考虑;suggests建议。根据"starts selling lawn mowers...winters grip has loosened"可知,杂货店开始卖割草机,预示冬天过去,所以不卖扫雪机了。故选B项。
31.句意同第9题。sign迹象;chance机会;function功能;preparation准备。根据"starts selling lawn mowers"可知,商店已经开始卖割草机了,所以预示着春天要来了。故选A项。
32.句意:但是我们可以设想一下,如果Johnston的杂货店不尽职责,那么我们就意识不到春天到了。clear清楚的;guilty愧疚的;worthy值得的;unaware无意识的。由语境可知选D项。
33.句意:当第一片树叶在秋天枯干落到地上时,Bill会穿上他的棕色卡哈特大衣,直到明年春天才脱下来。Although虽然;When当……时;Because因为;Until直到……为止。根据句意可知,此处用when引导时间状语从句。故选B项。
34.句意同上。hangs up挂断(电话);pulls on穿;gives away捐赠;shows off炫耀。根据"doesn't remove it until next spring"可知,大衣直到第二年春天才脱下来,那么之前应是一直穿着的。故选B项。
35.句意:从小我就认识Bill,所以我熟知他的习惯。family家庭;business商业;hobbies爱好;habits习惯。根据"I've known Bill since we were very young"可知,从小“我"就认识Bill,所以“我”了解他换衣服的习惯。故选D项。
第二节：
答案：called; undesirable; themselves; Rescuers; broke; remaining; a; are believed; where; to
解析：本文是一篇说明文。在新西兰南岛的北端,有一个长长的沙洲,叫做永别沙洲,在这里经常有鲸鱼因搁浅而死亡。
36考查过去分词。句意:在新西兰南岛的北端,有一个长长的沙洲,叫做永别沙洲。动词call意为“叫做”和逻辑主语a long bar of sand构成动宾关系,应用过去分词做后置定语。故填called。
37考查形容词。句意:这个地区很有名,却是因为一个不受欢迎的原因。修饰名词reason应用形容词,且根据"I's a hotspot of whale stranding."可知,此处应用负面性质的形容词。故填undesirable。
38考查反身代词。句意:鲸鱼搁浅在海滩上。结合语境可知,此处宾语和主语所指相同,即鲸鱼,故宾语用反身代词。故填themselves。
39考查名词复数。句意:救援人员花了几个小时试图让它们浮起来,但有100只死亡。结合句子结构和句意可知,此处应用指人的名词rescuer“救援者”做主语。结合语境可知,救援人员不止一人,故用复数形式。故填Rescuers。
40考查一般过去时。句意:没有水的支持,它们身体的重量破坏了它们的肌肉。分析句子结构可知,此处是句子的谓语动词,且指过去发生的事,应用一般过去时。故填broke。
41考查形容词。句意:剩下的鲸鱼被志愿者用水桶和铁锹尽可能地给水和保持舒适。修饰名词whales应用形容词。形容词remaining意为“剩下的”,符合语境。故填remaining。
42考查不定冠词和固定搭配。句意:在“公众”成员的帮助下,鲸鱼第二次浮了起来,现在人们认为鲸鱼已经回到了海上。结合句意可知,表示“再次,又一次”应用a second time。故填a。
43考查被动语态和一般现在时。句意同上。此处为and连接的并列句的谓语动词,动词believe和主语the whales构成动宾关系,且根据时间状语now可知,应用一般现在时,主语whales是复数,be动词用are。故填are believed。
44考查定语从句。句意:像永别角这样的海滩可能是最著名的鲸鱼死亡之地。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,关系词代替先行词place在从句中充当地点状语,应用关系副词where。故填where。
45考查介词和固定搭配。句意:从各方面来看,这些鲸鱼似乎是由于游得太靠近海岸而自杀的。表示“靠近”应用be close to。故填to。

第二节
答案：
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too. "What a wonderful plan! I will give you a hand!" she said, with a bright smile spreading across her face. Soon they hurried to see Bernard and told him the plan excitedly. Hearing that, Bernard jumped wildly with joy. Then the four kids took out a big box of corn sent by Uncle John. Mrs. Meredith took the lead to make paper bags. John and Bernard were busy in popping the corn while Harry and Clara put the popcorn into each bag. Every one was fully devoted to their jobs. Soon, all the paper bags were full of hot, sweet popcorn and the delicious smell filled the air in the yard.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He visited his neighbors from door to door to sell his popcorn. In spite of struggling to make ends meet, people in the community were willing to buy some popcorn to support Bernard's small business. For weeks, the quiet neighborhood turned into hustle and bustle, as long as the children doing their popcorn business. Through everyone's effort, the situation in Bernard's family gradually turned around. The Meredith family's love, through the sweet aroma of popcorn, floated all around the community.
