On the outside, 12－year－old Luna seems like your average kid.It’s not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect (缺陷 )called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open－heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion.But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a pair of shoes for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
“This is so incredible.I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I’d never thought I’d be able to design，”Luna said.She is one of the six patients from Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) who have partnered Saucony to design their own shoes to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would raise not only money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that’s being done at BCH，” says Chris, Saucony’s vice president.“Specifically，we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world.”
Luna’s design is fashion.“On the tongue, they digitalized one of my drawings, and then at the bottom it’s a really bright pink color, and on the inside, the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset，” she said.“Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoes is amazing.It__blows__my__mind．”
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children’s Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possibility” through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient’s heart condition.
“It feels really good to help people and it’s really something I can relate to，” says Luna.“The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is ‘Never give up’．There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you’re not alone.”
4．What can we learn from Chris’s words
A．It’s unwise to raise money.
B．It’s optional to seek donations.
C．It’s wonderful to study art.
D．It’s necessary to show kids’ talents.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Specifically，we wanted to give...with the world”可知，Chris说他们想给波士顿儿童医院的一些儿童提供一个与全世界分享自己的故事和天赋的机会，故D项正确。
5．What does Luna mean by “It blows my mind” in Paragraph 5
A．I’m overjoyed. B．I’m very serious.
C．My mind goes blank. D．My mind is racing.
答案 A
解析 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoes is amazing”可知，一想到世界各地的小孩都会穿着自己参与设计的鞋子，Luna感到这令人惊喜，画线句表示“这令我惊喜万分”，故A项正确。
6．Which of the following best describes Luna
A．Gifted and determined.
B．Generous and serious.
C．Grateful and helpful.
D．Creative and sensitive.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Luna has had three...in art and fashion”可以推断，Luna是一个坚强、意志坚定的小女孩；再根据第三段中的“She is one of the six patients ...to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign”可推知，Luna是波士顿儿童医院被选中的与Saucony合作设计鞋子的六个病人之一，由此可见她很有天赋，故A项正确。
7．What is the text mainly intended to do

Food made from atmospheric carbon could feed the world while helping to fight climate change，according to Solar Foods，a Finnish company founded in 2017.“We can collect CO2 anywhere，” said its CEO Pasi Vainika，whose company has developed a protein powder made using CO2.“That’s a strategic shift where raw materials are in the air.” The protein powder，called Solein，can be turned into meat and dairy substitutes or added to foods and shakes.
Solar Foods uses special units to pull CO2 from the atmosphere.To turn it into protein，microbes(微生物)，similar to those in the production of wine and yogurt，will be fed on it to grow and reproduce.During the process，water is split into hydrogen and oxygen.Along with a growth medium containing necessary minerals，the three gases are pumped in to feed the microbes.Harvested and dried，that remaining mixture becomes Solein—a yellow powder made up of single-cell protein，with a nutrient composition similar to wheat flour.
Solar Foods claims that Solein removes most of the emissions associated with modern agriculture，which is responsible for almost one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions.“One kilogram of Solein sends out 0.2 kilogram of CO2e(二氧化碳当量)．In comparison，beef herds produce around 100 kilograms and chicken 10 kilograms，”said Vainikka.“We can remove the climate impact of modern food systems on the planet，which today account for about 30 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.”He further stressed that while the company’s factories also require some land used for industrial farming，only about one-tenth of the land is needed compared to photosynthesis(光合作用)．“We could free up agricultural land to grow back forests，” he added，“and those remove carbon permanently from the atmosphere.”
Probably optimists are now contenting themselves with the pleasant scene of masses of trees absorbing CO2 on the planet.However，while that may sound great，Vainikka puts it right，“It can happen only if we produce enough Solein from CO2 to replace meat and dairy at a large scale.”And that still remains a long way to go.
8．What can we say about Solein
A．It is in the air.
B．It can be changed into meat.
C．It can take in CO2.
D．It is good for the environment.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，Solein 是利用收集的二氧化碳研制的一种蛋白质粉，能够被加工成肉、奶等的替代品，这有助于应对气候变化，从而实现保护环境的目的。所以该公司开发的产品对环境有利。故选D。
9．What are needed to produce Solein according to paragraph 2
A．Wine and water.
B．Water and minerals.
C．Microbes and yogurt.
D．Wine and microbes.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三、四句可知，微生物(用于发酵)、水(分解成氢气和氧气)和含有矿物质的生长培养基都是必备物质。故选B。
10．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Solein
A．Its present situation.
B．Its possible benefits.
C．Its production process.
D．Its potential drawbacks.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。第三段第一句为主题句，研究人员再通过对比说明，相同重量的蛋白质，Solein比牛肉和鸡肉产生更少的二氧化碳，因此会解放更多的耕地，用于退耕还林。故选B。
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Air Protein Produced，CO2 Reduced
B．Collecting Air，Removing CO2
C．Climate Changing，Danger Coming
D．Protect Earth，Save Ourselves
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。第一段概括介绍 Solar Foods 公司利用空气中的二氧化碳生产蛋白质粉 Solein 的基本信息；第二段介绍这一生产过程及所需物质；第三段阐述该技术的优势及长远意义；第四段主要介绍该技术的前景。综上，A项概括了文章大意——从空气中获取二氧化碳生产蛋白质Solein，减少二氧化碳。故选A。
D
There is something to be said for being a generalist，even if you are a specialist.Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole，well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize，to become experts.This requires commitment to a particular occupation，branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less.There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field.You may pursue training，degrees，or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty.But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten each night，then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends，or traveled to exciting places，meeting interesting people.Mastering one thing to the exclusion(排除) of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists，on the other hand，know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections.They are people of ability，talent，and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective(视角) into specific fields of expertise(专长)．The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor，one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but，once you explore their depths，you discover that they are.My editor Toni，who is also a writer，has edited several history books.She has decided to study Chinese history.Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter，she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy.“I don’t know where it will lead，but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life，of ourselves and the universe.Develop broad，general knowledge and experience.The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
To become a specialist，one may have to .
A．narrow his range of knowledge
B．avoid responsibilities at work
C．know more about the society
D．broaden his perspective on life
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，成为专家需要对特定的职业、研究领域的投入。成为专家的缺点是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越多。因此，要成为一名专家，了解到的知识领域会越来越少，会缩小一个人的知识范围。故选A。
13．The specialists mentioned in paragraph 3 tend to .
A．treasure their freedom
B．travel around the world
C．spend most time working
D．enjoy meeting funny people
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。第三段中提到“Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty...These specialists could work at the office until ten each night”，由此可知，这些专家往往花大部分的时间在工作上。故选C。
14．According to the author，a superior doctor is one who .
A．is fully aware of his talent and ability
B．is a pure specialist in medicine
C．should love poetry and philosophy
D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，这位既是诗人又是哲学家的医生是一位优秀的医生，他能给他的病人提供比良好的医术更多的东西。由此可知，作者认为一名优秀的医生可以将其他领域的知识运用到工作中。故选D。
15．What could be the best title for the passage
A．Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist
B．Specialist or Generalist：Hard to Decide
C．Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
D．Ways to Become a Generalist
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。第一段第一句提出观点，即使你是一个专家，也应该当一个通才；第二段第三句说明成为专家的不足之处是我们常常对越来越少的知识领域了解得越来越深；第四段说明当通才的优点。由此可知，作者认为应该当一个通才。故选A。
七选五。

1．答案 B

语法填空。
You may think，salt is just a simple cooking element.Actually，salt is much more than that.Without salt our muscles would not move，and our heart would not beat.Salt means life.
But do not think rubbing salt in a wound will help.Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound.To rub salt in a wound is an idiom that means to 1. (purpose) make a bad situation 2. (bad)．
Early 3. (explore) understood that if they could keep food fresh，they could travel longer distances.So they made good use of salt to preserve food and explored the world.
Salt was so important that it 4. (trade) pound-for-pound for gold in the past.
Today，people still use “to be worth one’s salt” 5. (describe) a person who is useful and valuable.A person might also be called “the salt of the earth”，6.__________ means he or she is dependable and trustworthy.
In many old stories，spilled salt is a sign 7. bad luck and trouble.Even today，if some people spill salt，then they will throw 8. over their shoulder.
They believe 9. (throw) salt behind them scares the devil.
But these stories about bad luck should be taken with a grain of salt.In other words，listen to a story or 10. explanation with suspicion and distrust.
1．答案 purposefully
解析 考查副词。修饰动词，应用副词形式。故填purposefully。
2．答案 worse
解析 考查形容词的比较级。根据“to rub salt in a wound(在伤口上撒盐)”可知，那么做会让事情变得更糟糕，因此应用形容词比较级worse。
3．答案 explorers
解析 考查名词。设空处在句中作主语，应用名词形式；根据空后的they可知，应用复数形式。故填explorers。
4．答案 was traded
解析 考查动词时态和语态。设空处在句中作谓语，和句子的主语it为被动关系；结合时间状语in the past可知，设空处应为一般过去时的被动语态。故填was traded。
5．答案 to describe
解析 考查非谓语动词。设空处在句中作非谓语，use sth. to do sth.意为“用……来做什么”。故填to describe。
6．答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词为“the salt of the earth”。故填which。
7．答案 of
解析 考查介词。a sign of bad luck意为“不幸的迹象”，故填of。
8．答案 it
解析 考查代词。设空处作throw的宾语，指代的是前面提到过的salt，不可数，因此用代词it来代替。故填it。
9．答案 throwing
解析 考查非谓语动词。设空处在宾语从句中作主语，应用动名词形式。故填 throwing。
10．答案 an
解析 考查冠词。与前面的a story并列，表示“一个解释”，而explanation的发音以元音音素开头，因此用an。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Probably，most of you had the feeling before，at least once—you had been waiting for a long time，yet being afraid of getting.It was exactly my state of mind before the first day at college.I had been working hard to pass the necessary tests and have my application to the undergraduate programme in management approved.And when the time had come for me to visit the college for the first day of the study，I couldn’t sleep all night because of being anxious about how to look good physically in front of the whole new world I was about to enter.However，the positive attitude and readiness to accept support from others helped a lot in a new environment.
It was Monday morning.Being too excited to sleep the night before，I came to the college half an hour earlier for the first lecture and was walking nervously through the hallway.About 15 minutes after I came，the hallway started to be full of students.Professors who walked on their business probably didn’t pay attention to me.I knew which hall to go to and had already checked that it was open.However，I was hesitant to enter the hall and sit there alone.People were moving around me as if they hadn’t seen me.I felt disappointed with the fact that I had nobody to talk to in the new and seemingly unfriendly place.
Suddenly，a well-dressed man who seemed to be in his late twenties approached me.He introduced himself as Mathews and asked whether I was lost and whether he could help me with anything.In that situation，I realized it was very kind of him and that he was exactly the person I wanted to ask in my thoughts a minute before，but then I was too nervous for a friendly chat.As a result，instead of welcoming the opportunity to make the first acquaintance(相识)，I told the man to mind his business and leave me alone since I was an adult capable of finding my class without anybody’s assistance.
注意：续写词数应为 150左右。
Luckily，the man didn’t seem to be angry.
Professor Mathews turned out to be an excellent speaker and the lecture went really well.
参考范文:
Luckily，the man didn’t seem to be angry.He just shrugged，smiled a bit and went to the room where my first lecture was about to take place.Quite a lot of people had entered the room，so I didn’t care about having an unhappy experience with one of my future peers.I was embarrassed，however，when I finally learned that the man to whom I had been rude minutes before was our professor of the first lecture.
Professor Mathews turned out to be an excellent speaker and the lecture went really well.After the class was dismissed，I came to him to apologize for my bad manners earlier in the day.Professor Mathews said that he was not unhappy and on his first day as the student of our college，he was afraid and nervous，too.The incident helped me realize that I should not let emotional strain and anxiety prevent me from communicating with people openly and pleasantly.Unit 1 单元测试

On the outside, 12－year－old Luna seems like your average kid.It’s not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect (缺陷 )called dextrocardia, Luna has had three open－heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion.But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a pair of shoes for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.
“This is so incredible.I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I’d never thought I’d be able to design，”Luna said.She is one of the six patients from Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) who have partnered Saucony to design their own shoes to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
“Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would raise not only money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that’s being done at BCH，” says Chris, Saucony’s vice president.“Specifically，we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world.”
Luna’s design is fashion.“On the tongue, they digitalized one of my drawings, and then at the bottom it’s a really bright pink color, and on the inside, the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset，” she said.“Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoes is amazing.It__blows__my__mind．”
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children’s Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possibility” through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient’s heart condition.
“It feels really good to help people and it’s really something I can relate to，” says Luna.“The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is ‘Never give up’．There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you’re not alone.”
4．What can we learn from Chris’s words
A．It’s unwise to raise money.
B．It’s optional to seek donations.
C．It’s wonderful to study art.
D．It’s necessary to show kids’ talents.
5．What does Luna mean by “It blows my mind” in Paragraph 5

C．Grateful and helpful.
D．Creative and sensitive.

Food made from atmospheric carbon could feed the world while helping to fight climate change，according to Solar Foods，a Finnish company founded in 2017.“We can collect CO2 anywhere，” said its CEO Pasi Vainika，whose company has developed a protein powder made using CO2.“That’s a strategic shift where raw materials are in the air.” The protein powder，called Solein，can be turned into meat and dairy substitutes or added to foods and shakes.
Solar Foods uses special units to pull CO2 from the atmosphere.To turn it into protein，microbes(微生物)，similar to those in the production of wine and yogurt，will be fed on it to grow and reproduce.During the process，water is split into hydrogen and oxygen.Along with a growth medium containing necessary minerals，the three gases are pumped in to feed the microbes.Harvested and dried，that remaining mixture becomes Solein—a yellow powder made up of single-cell protein，with a nutrient composition similar to wheat flour.
Solar Foods claims that Solein removes most of the emissions associated with modern agriculture，which is responsible for almost one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions.“One kilogram of Solein sends out 0.2 kilogram of CO2e(二氧化碳当量)．In comparison，beef herds produce around 100 kilograms and chicken 10 kilograms，”said Vainikka.“We can remove the climate impact of modern food systems on the planet，which today account for about 30 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.”He further stressed that while the company’s factories also require some land used for industrial farming，only about one-tenth of the land is needed compared to photosynthesis(光合作用)．“We could free up agricultural land to grow back forests，” he added，“and those remove carbon permanently from the atmosphere.”
Probably optimists are now contenting themselves with the pleasant scene of masses of trees absorbing CO2 on the planet.However，while that may sound great，Vainikka puts it right，“It can happen only if we produce enough Solein from CO2 to replace meat and dairy at a large scale.”And that still remains a long way to go.
8．What can we say about Solein
A．It is in the air.
B．It can be changed into meat.
C．It can take in CO2.
D．It is good for the environment.
9．What are needed to produce Solein according to paragraph 2
A．Wine and water.
B．Water and minerals.
C．Microbes and yogurt.
D．Wine and microbes.
10．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Solein
A．Its present situation.
B．Its possible benefits.
C．Its production process.
D．Its potential drawbacks.
11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Air Protein Produced，CO2 Reduced
B．Collecting Air，Removing CO2
C．Climate Changing，Danger Coming
D．Protect Earth，Save Ourselves

There is something to be said for being a generalist，even if you are a specialist.Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole，well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize，to become experts.This requires commitment to a particular occupation，branch of study or research.The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less.There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field.You may pursue training，degrees，or increasing levels of responsibility at work.Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty.But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom.These specialists could work at the office until ten each night，then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends，or traveled to exciting places，meeting interesting people.Mastering one thing to the exclusion(排除) of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists，on the other hand，know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections.They are people of ability，talent，and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective(视角) into specific fields of expertise(专长)．The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor，one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected.Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas.Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but，once you explore their depths，you discover that they are.My editor Toni，who is also a writer，has edited several history books.She has decided to study Chinese history.Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter，she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy.“I don’t know where it will lead，but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives.We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life，of ourselves and the universe.Develop broad，general knowledge and experience.The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
To become a specialist，one may have to .
A．narrow his range of knowledge
B．avoid responsibilities at work
C．know more about the society
D．broaden his perspective on life
13．The specialists mentioned in paragraph 3 tend to .
A．treasure their freedom
B．travel around the world
C．spend most time working
D．enjoy meeting funny people
14．According to the author，a superior doctor is one who .
A．is fully aware of his talent and ability
B．is a pure specialist in medicine
C．should love poetry and philosophy
D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
15．What could be the best title for the passage
A．Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist
B．Specialist or Generalist：Hard to Decide
C．Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
D．Ways to Become a Generalist

You may think，salt is just a simple cooking element.Actually，salt is much more than that.Without salt our muscles would not move，and our heart would not beat.Salt means life.
But do not think rubbing salt in a wound will help.Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound.To rub salt in a wound is an idiom that means to 1. (purpose) make a bad situation 2. (bad)．
Early 3. (explore) understood that if they could keep food fresh，they could travel longer distances.So they made good use of salt to preserve food and explored the world.
Salt was so important that it 4. (trade) pound-for-pound for gold in the past.
Today，people still use “to be worth one’s salt” 5. (describe) a person who is useful and valuable.A person might also be called “the salt of the earth”，6.__________ means he or she is dependable and trustworthy.
In many old stories，spilled salt is a sign 7. bad luck and trouble.Even today，if some people spill salt，then they will throw 8. over their shoulder.
They believe 9. (throw) salt behind them scares the devil.
But these stories about bad luck should be taken with a grain of salt.In other words，listen to a story or 10. explanation with suspicion and distrust.

Probably，most of you had the feeling before，at least once—you had been waiting for a long time，yet being afraid of getting.It was exactly my state of mind before the first day at college.I had been working hard to pass the necessary tests and have my application to the undergraduate programme in management approved.And when the time had come for me to visit the college for the first day of the study，I couldn’t sleep all night because of being anxious about how to look good physically in front of the whole new world I was about to enter.However，the positive attitude and readiness to accept support from others helped a lot in a new environment.
It was Monday morning.Being too excited to sleep the night before，I came to the college half an hour earlier for the first lecture and was walking nervously through the hallway.About 15 minutes after I came，the hallway started to be full of students.Professors who walked on their business probably didn’t pay attention to me.I knew which hall to go to and had already checked that it was open.However，I was hesitant to enter the hall and sit there alone.People were moving around me as if they hadn’t seen me.I felt disappointed with the fact that I had nobody to talk to in the new and seemingly unfriendly place.
Suddenly，a well-dressed man who seemed to be in his late twenties approached me.He introduced himself as Mathews and asked whether I was lost and whether he could help me with anything.In that situation，I realized it was very kind of him and that he was exactly the person I wanted to ask in my thoughts a minute before，but then I was too nervous for a friendly chat.As a result，instead of welcoming the opportunity to make the first acquaintance(相识)，I told the man to mind his business and leave me alone since I was an adult capable of finding my class without anybody’s assistance.
注意：续写词数应为 150左右。
Luckily，the man didn’t seem to be angry.
Professor Mathews turned out to be an excellent speaker and the lecture went really well.
