阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some places can create strong memories. The following special places are important to Americans who look to the past, but also are thinking of the future.
New Orleans Streetcars
Many American cities once had streetcars, but not anymore. Yet streetcars have been running in New Orleans for over 150 years. The Saint Avenue streetcar is said to be the oldest continuously operating streetcar in the world. Many residents have been riding the streetcars ever since they started high school. Most of them think it's a piece of history. They have these old cars, and they respect them, and they keep them running.
Historic Houses
Historic homes can interest people seeking to connect with the former occupants. A typical one is a very simple, white house in Virginia. This small house in Winchester, Virginia, opened its doors to the public in August. It was home to the singer Pasty Cline, who died at the age of 30. Babe Ruth is considered one of the greatest baseball players in history. He was born in a house in Baltimore, Maryland. With his house visitors are given plenty of opportunities to touch where Babe Ruth walked around.
Havre de Grace
Years ago, Americans used decoys (假肢) to hunt ducks and other waterbirds. Those days are gone. But collecting artful decoys is now popular. Havre de Grace is a town in the American state of Maryland, one part of which is famous for its wildlife. Captain Jobes is one of the top decoy carvers in Havre de Grace. Hunters use decoys to get ducks and geese to come close enough to shoot. The wooden birds are so highly respected here that Havre de Grace calls itself the decoy capital of the world. It also has a museum with more than 1，000 decoys. Most were handmade.
21．Which is the ideal place to know about Babe Ruth
A．New Orleans. B．Baltimore. C．Havre de Grace. D．Virginia.
22．What is famous in Havre de Grace
A．Streetcars. B．Historic Houses. C．Baseball. D．Decoys.
23．What do the objects mentioned in the context have in common
A．They remind people of the past. B．They have gone out of use.

A Rhode Island grower is the first in the world to achieve three records in the hobby of growing enormous foods.The three world records consist of the heaviest pumpkin and the longest gourd (葫芦).And now it includes the heaviest squash (南瓜).
Joe Jutras previously broke two records.Joe got his third last weekend when he broke the giant squash record.It weighed 2，118 pounds.This was at Frerichs Farm in Warren last Saturday.
His other titles came in 2006.That is when he broke the record for the longest gourd.It was a 126.5 inch gourd.In 2007, he broke the record for the largest pumpkin.It weighed in at 1，689 pounds.
Both__previous__records__have__since__been__surpassed. But Jutras is the only grower so far to break world records in the three most competitive categories.
“It feels great，” Jutras said Monday.“It's really been a goal of mine to try to achieve this.”
Jutras has been working on the three records for many years, since his pumpkin won.He was close to the goal a few years ago.But he failed.Now 62, Jutras recently retired from his work as a high end cabinet maker.He wants to devote more time to his hobby.
Jutras noted that others had won multiple world records for fruit and vegetables before.But they won in categories such as carrots that are not as competitive.
Jutras said his fruit is headed to New York City.It will be on display this month at the New York Botanical Garden.
Asked what he planned to do next, he said he's been thinking about the bushel gourd.
“I think the record now is about 279 pounds，” Jutras said.“That might be something I might want to get into a bit.”

Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life and city people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don't change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
28．What primary problem could vertical farming settle
A．Poor state of rural life. B．Shortage of food supply.
C．High costs for transporting crops. D．Environmental pollution.
29．What is the advantage of vertical farming
A．It can benefit transport industry. B．It requires little care.
C．It can produce organic food. D．It needs very low cost.
30．What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality
A．Farmable land. B．Light sources. C．Crop diseases. D．Climate conditions.
31．What can be the best title of the text
A．Future Food Needs B．Symbol of Urban Life
C．Farms of the Future D．Farming on Rooftops
D
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging free products.
However, before you rejoice in “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reaffirmed a principle：Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single use shopping bags, it can be tempting to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability Any bag you already own. This is true of many kinds of “green” products.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesn't seem to be that way”， said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption.”
“Owning every new green product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better，” said Helm.
32．Why does the writer mention green shopping habits
A．To call on a green lifestyle. B．To praise people's green efforts.
C．To introduce a social trend. D．To present a half true “green truth”．
33．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
B．Using any bag you have is the best bet.
C．Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
D．Growing cotton is actually far worse for the Earth.
34．What does the underlined “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The sense of achievement. B．The sense of happiness.
C．Psychological pressure. D．Environmental awareness.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Less is More B．The Greener, The Happier
C．Happiness Guarantee D．What Are Really Green Products

Know your circle

Identify and avoid wasting time and energy on the worthless people in your circle of five.
__38__
Once you identify the people who belong to your reference group, it is important to develop these relationships. __39__ Different individuals evolve at a different pace. The important part is to be aware of this living and changing “circle of five”. Let this circle of five motivate you, help you gain courage, and take the right actions.

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。
There is no school equal to a decent (体面的) home and no teacher equal to a virtuous (道德高尚的) parent.
There are two typical examples：Edison's mother and our mother. As you all know, Thomas Edison is one of the most outstanding scientists and inventors in the world. Unbelievably, young Tom was in school for only three months. It is said that he liked to ask strange questions, many of which have nothing to do with learning. His teacher didn't understand why he had so many strange questions. He didn't want to teach Tom any more. He asked Tom's mother to take the boy home. Tom's mother taught him to read and write, and she found him to be a very good pupil. He learned very fast and became very interested in science. It was she who played an important role in Edison's growth. Although we can't compare with Edison, our mother played a more important role in our growth than his mother. Our dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. For many years, he had been cautious and conscientious (认真的) towards work. Mom stayed home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no trouble in learning but my sister Catherine still could not read by fifth grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet (字母表).
My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some sort of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to get some help. Catherine made many friends at school and amazed everyone with her gift for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn't master reading skills. After all the testing was done, the school had my parents come in. They were told that based on the test results, they should just take Catherine home, which was very similar to Edison's experience. However, the biggest difference is that Edison was not stupid, and my sister really had learning disabilities.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

Tears of sadness ran down my dad's cheeks. ________________________________________________________________________

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无论是对地球的影响还是对自己的幸福感而言，减少消费比绿色消费更好。
32．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据第一段“For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.”以及第二段“By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reaffirmed a principle：Buying less beats buying ‘green’ stuff without effort.”可知，作者提到绿色购物习惯是为了呈现一种不太正确的绿色理念。
33．答案与解析：C 主旨大意题。根据第三段“It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet.”可知，第三段主要讲述了减少消费对地球更好。
34．答案与解析：B 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption.”可知，减少消费对于增加幸福感有影响，但是我们看不到绿色消费对幸福感的影响，所以画线单词that指代“幸福感”。
35．答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了无论是对地球的影响还是对自己的幸福感而言，减少消费比绿色消费更好，所以“少即是多”可以作为文章标题。

第一节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Jennifer Williams为了让山村孩子有书可以阅读，发起了捐书活动的故事。
41．答案与解析：D 当Jennifer成为弗吉尼亚州的一名小学教师时，她希望她的学生像她一样热爱阅读。根据文章第一句“It was Jennifer Williams's mother who read to her in her childhood and got her interested in books.”可知， Jennifer对阅读感兴趣，所以她也喜欢她的学生热爱阅读。
42．答案与解析：B 句意：但在早期，她意识到一些孩子接触书籍的机会有限。由第二段“give kids books.”可知，因为孩子们接触书籍的机会少，所以她要给孩子们一些书。
43．答案与解析：C 句意：对威廉姆斯来说，解决办法很简单：给孩子们书。根据前一段描述可知，因为一些孩子接触书籍的机会有限，所以Jennifer找到了解决方案——给孩子们书。
44．答案与解析：B 句意：2017年，她捐赠了900本二手儿童书籍。根据前文“give kids books.”可知，因为要给孩子们一些书，所以此处指她捐赠了900本二手儿童书籍。

46．答案与解析：D 句意：她说：“我想要做一些能够延续我的信仰、价值观和我的一切的事情。”A.shake摇动；B.maintain维持；C.evaluate估价；D.stretch延续。根据空前“I wanted to achieve something”可知， Jennifer想要做些事情延续自己的信仰和价值观。

49．答案与解析：B 由空前“in the bleachers (看台)”可知，此处需用on the field，在比赛场地与之对应。
50．答案与解析：D 句意：于是她开始行动，首先是呼吁朋友们捐书或出钱买书。根据后文“friends to donate books or money to buy books.”可知，此处指呼吁朋友们捐书或出钱买书。
51．答案与解析：B 句意：不久，随着威廉姆斯项目的消息传开，陌生人开始在她的前门放书。A.In a way在某种程度上；B.Before long不久以后；C.After all毕竟；D.Once and for all一劳永逸地。前一句提到，Jennifer呼吁朋友们捐书或花钱买，此处需用before long，表示不久后发生的事情。
52．答案与解析：C 由空后“leaving books on her front door.”可知，只有陌生人才会把捐赠的书放在门前。
53．答案与解析：C 句意：这些书一到货，威廉姆斯就把它们送到当地的学校和市内的小型免费图书馆。根据后文“Williams sends them to local schools and little free libraries around the city.”可知，捐赠的书来了，她会把书送到当地的学校和市内的小型免费图书馆。
54．答案与解析：A 句意：在过去的四年里，她已经捐出了78 000多本书——只要再捐出922 000本就能实现她的目标！根据前文“she has given away more than 78，000 books”可知，她已捐赠了很多书，所以空处需用副词only，表示只要再捐出922 000本就能实现她的目标！
55．答案与解析：D 根据前文“And she's not slowing down.”可知，Jennifer不会放慢捐书的节奏，因为这些书对孩子们太重要了。

Tearsofsadnessrandownmydad'scheeks. However, my mom's jaw was set in quiet determination. As they walked back to the car, she turned to him and said, “I know she's not stupid.” Soon after, my mom discovered a learning system that focused heavily on lesson repetition and building slowly on the previous exercises. She worked with Catherine for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our own. It was hard for both of them, but she often told crying Catherine, “Failure is not an option. You are going to learn to read, and we'll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read.”
Intime, Catherinegotit. By the time she graduated from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued improving and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school. Catherine came to love reading and writing. She became a very famous writer. A number of wonderful novels were published all over the country. Many of her major works were popular with the public and some books were translated into other languages. All of this was because of a wonderfully devoted mother who was absolutely the best teacher ever—for all four of us.

A
Some places can create strong memories. The following special places are important to Americans who look to the past, but also are thinking of the future.
New Orleans Streetcars
Many American cities once had streetcars, but not anymore. Yet streetcars have been running in New Orleans for over 150 years. The Saint Avenue streetcar is said to be the oldest continuously operating streetcar in the world. Many residents have been riding the streetcars ever since they started high school. Most of them think it's a piece of history. They have these old cars, and they respect them, and they keep them running.
Historic Houses
Historic homes can interest people seeking to connect with the former occupants. A typical one is a very simple, white house in Virginia. This small house in Winchester, Virginia, opened its doors to the public in August. It was home to the singer Pasty Cline, who died at the age of 30. Babe Ruth is considered one of the greatest baseball players in history. He was born in a house in Baltimore, Maryland. With his house visitors are given plenty of opportunities to touch where Babe Ruth walked around.
Havre de Grace
Years ago, Americans used decoys (假肢) to hunt ducks and other waterbirds. Those days are gone. But collecting artful decoys is now popular. Havre de Grace is a town in the American state of Maryland, one part of which is famous for its wildlife. Captain Jobes is one of the top decoy carvers in Havre de Grace. Hunters use decoys to get ducks and geese to come close enough to shoot. The wooden birds are so highly respected here that Havre de Grace calls itself the decoy capital of the world. It also has a museum with more than 1，000 decoys. Most were handmade.
21．Which is the ideal place to know about Babe Ruth
A．New Orleans. B．Baltimore. C．Havre de Grace. D．Virginia.

A Rhode Island grower is the first in the world to achieve three records in the hobby of growing enormous foods.The three world records consist of the heaviest pumpkin and the longest gourd (葫芦).And now it includes the heaviest squash (南瓜).
Joe Jutras previously broke two records.Joe got his third last weekend when he broke the giant squash record.It weighed 2，118 pounds.This was at Frerichs Farm in Warren last Saturday.
His other titles came in 2006.That is when he broke the record for the longest gourd.It was a 126.5 inch gourd.In 2007, he broke the record for the largest pumpkin.It weighed in at 1，689 pounds.
Both__previous__records__have__since__been__surpassed. But Jutras is the only grower so far to break world records in the three most competitive categories.
“It feels great，” Jutras said Monday.“It's really been a goal of mine to try to achieve this.”
Jutras has been working on the three records for many years, since his pumpkin won.He was close to the goal a few years ago.But he failed.Now 62, Jutras recently retired from his work as a high end cabinet maker.He wants to devote more time to his hobby.
Jutras noted that others had won multiple world records for fruit and vegetables before.But they won in categories such as carrots that are not as competitive.
Jutras said his fruit is headed to New York City.It will be on display this month at the New York Botanical Garden.
Asked what he planned to do next, he said he's been thinking about the bushel gourd.
“I think the record now is about 279 pounds，” Jutras said.“That might be something I might want to get into a bit.”

Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life and city people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.
By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth's population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don't change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.
Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.
Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.
Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn't be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light.
Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.
28．What primary problem could vertical farming settle
A．Poor state of rural life. B．Shortage of food supply.
C．High costs for transporting crops. D．Environmental pollution.
29．What is the advantage of vertical farming
A．It can benefit transport industry. B．It requires little care.
C．It can produce organic food. D．It needs very low cost.
30．What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality
A．Farmable land. B．Light sources. C．Crop diseases. D．Climate conditions.
31．What can be the best title of the text
A．Future Food Needs B．Symbol of Urban Life
C．Farms of the Future D．Farming on Rooftops
D
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging free products.
However, before you rejoice in “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reaffirmed a principle：Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single use shopping bags, it can be tempting to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability Any bag you already own. This is true of many kinds of “green” products.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesn't seem to be that way”， said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well being and decreased psychological distress, but we don't see that with green consumption.”
“Owning every new green product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better，” said Helm.
32．Why does the writer mention green shopping habits
A．To call on a green lifestyle. B．To praise people's green efforts.
C．To introduce a social trend. D．To present a half true “green truth”．
33．What's the main idea of Paragraph 3
A．The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
B．Using any bag you have is the best bet.
C．Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
D．Growing cotton is actually far worse for the Earth.
34．What does the underlined “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The sense of achievement. B．The sense of happiness.
C．Psychological pressure. D．Environmental awareness.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Less is More B．The Greener, The Happier
C．Happiness Guarantee D．What Are Really Green Products

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。
There is no school equal to a decent (体面的) home and no teacher equal to a virtuous (道德高尚的) parent.
There are two typical examples：Edison's mother and our mother. As you all know, Thomas Edison is one of the most outstanding scientists and inventors in the world. Unbelievably, young Tom was in school for only three months. It is said that he liked to ask strange questions, many of which have nothing to do with learning. His teacher didn't understand why he had so many strange questions. He didn't want to teach Tom any more. He asked Tom's mother to take the boy home. Tom's mother taught him to read and write, and she found him to be a very good pupil. He learned very fast and became very interested in science. It was she who played an important role in Edison's growth. Although we can't compare with Edison, our mother played a more important role in our growth than his mother. Our dad was an English teacher who taught high school students. For many years, he had been cautious and conscientious (认真的) towards work. Mom stayed home and homeschooled their four children. Three of us had no trouble in learning but my sister Catherine still could not read by fifth grade, and worse still, did not even know the alphabet (字母表).
My mother did some research and found that Catherine had some sort of learning disability. She sent Catherine to a public school to get some help. Catherine made many friends at school and amazed everyone with her gift for telling creative stories in class, but she still couldn't master reading skills. After all the testing was done, the school had my parents come in. They were told that based on the test results, they should just take Catherine home, which was very similar to Edison's experience. However, the biggest difference is that Edison was not stupid, and my sister really had learning disabilities.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

M: Young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and as a result they've lost their respect for their parents, teachers and elders in general.

M: It sounds that you are very close to your parents.

Tearsofsadnessrandownmydad'scheeks. However, my mom's jaw was set in quiet determination. As they walked back to the car, she turned to him and said, “I know she's not stupid.” Soon after, my mom discovered a learning system that focused heavily on lesson repetition and building slowly on the previous exercises. She worked with Catherine for four hours every morning while the rest of us studied on our own. It was hard for both of them, but she often told crying Catherine, “Failure is not an option. You are going to learn to read, and we'll both try! You have to learn to read! You will learn to read.”
Intime, Catherinegotit. By the time she graduated from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued improving and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school. Catherine came to love reading and writing. She became a very famous writer. A number of wonderful novels were published all over the country. Many of her major works were popular with the public and some books were translated into other languages. All of this was because of a wonderfully devoted mother who was absolutely the best teacher ever—for all four of us.
