M: Well, it’s not a good idea to eat less. You should continue eating plenty of food, but concentrate on eating more healthy food, like fruits and vegetables.
W: So no hamburgers and hot dogs
M: Not too many, and you should try to do a bit more exercise.
W: I’m busy at my job from morning to night, and I cant afford to go to a gym.
M: You don’t have to go to a gym. Just walking more would help. Whenever you do walk, try to walk more quickly than you usually do. Whenever you take a bus, try getting off one stop early and walking the rest of the way. You could also try taking the stairs sometimes instead of the elevator.
W: That’s a good idea.
M: Don’t lose heart! Just keep trying, and you’ll certainly manage to lose weight.

【原文】Sydney is one of Australia's oldest, largest and liveliest cities with a population of more than three million. It is a colorful, modern city but it is also a place of natural beauty with green parkland and perhaps the world's most beautiful deep water harbor. Besides modern buildings and roads, the city has many places of historical interest. For example, Mr. Masquerade's Chair, the area called the Rocks dating back to the early nineteenth century, and attractive rows of houses in Paddington are all close to the harbor and the city center.
Sydney has many other attractions of great interest to tourists, such as a zoo, the Koala Bear Park and the Sydney Opera House, located at the water's edge. Many people say that the Opera House is one of the most outstanding examples of beautifully designed modern buildings in the world. There is also an excellent transportation network around the city, including an underground railway, buses and taxis, so it is easy to get around the city. Sydney's pleasant climate also makes it an attractive tourist destination. The average temperature in summer is just a little above 20℃, and in winter not below 12℃.

Before the exams began, God told me in my mind several times, “Don’t cheat.” But I did not listen because I knew it was not easy for me to get good marks in exams. Taking out my notebook, I copied the answers from it and passed the exams with very good marks.
I felt guilty and ashamed and asked God to forgive me, which I thought was all I needed to do to give me peace. Using my good exam results I went on further with my education. Studying in Kwara State College of Education, I could not have peace in my mind, thinking, “You have done wrong. The result is not yours.”
At last I went to the leaders of my church to ask for help, who told me that it is not enough to say sorry to God. I must show that I am sorry by putting right what I did wrong. For me, that meant telling the principal of the college that I cheated in the exams and that I should not have got into the college. I wrote a letter to him, telling him what I had done and took the letter to the principal’s office and gave it to his secretary, who read it first. “If this gets to the principal you will go to prison, ” she said, “Go away and think about it.”
I went back to the church leaders and told them what the secretary said and they said I must still go to the principal. So the next day, I went back to the secretary, who took me to see the principal this time. To my surprise, he told me not to be afraid but to go to the person who was in charge of the exams. I did as required and that person let me take the exams again. I passed! Now I am back at the college, but, more important, God has taken away the feelings of guilt and I have peace in my mind.
24. What does the writer tell us with the story
A. Why he cheated in a exam.
B. Why he wrote to the principal.
C. How he recovered a peaceful mind.
D. How he prepared for the college entrance exam.
25. What played the most important part in correcting what the writer did wrong
A. Working hard at his lessons. B. Doing as the church leaders said.
C. Going to the church to say sorry to God. D. Communicating with the school leaders.
26. How did the principal react when the writer saw him
A. He was good to him. B. He was angry with him.
C. He refused to accept his apology. D. He thought he had done nothing wrong.
27. What finally helped the writer feel good again
A. His generosity. B. His tolerance. C. His hard work. D. His honesty.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】

C
The word “inquiry” (or enquiry) comes from the Latin words “in”, or “inward”, and “quaere”, which is the verb “to question”. So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into something. It has the quality of getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you haven’t been able to see before.
When you begin an inquiry, you are deliberately setting out to search for what you don’t know. You have to have the confidence to say that you might be able to figure it out for yourself. And in that process, you get a sense of real excitement and energy. That energy is both part of, and contributes to, what we often call “engagement(参与)”. But in order to use inquiry to answer your question, you have to become good at knowing what you don’t know. I would argue that that’s exactly the opposite of what happens in schools. Classrooms focus on what you do know (or are supposed to know) and leave you unprepared to deal with the things you don’t know.
In some ways, we are all surrounded by a bubble(气泡) of the known. When you “know” something, you identify how your model of the world fits with and explains what you see. Living in the bubble of the known is comfortable and comforting. You see what you know, and you know what you see. But to do inquiry, you have to get good at always looking for the boundaries of your knowledge, and at the limitations and contradictions within what is known. That is what scientists do. They are always looking for the limits, the boundaries and the points at which their theories fail to explain the world. Scientists, basically, are always looking for that “door” from the known to the unknown, where they can press forth and push and, in a sense, expand the bubble of the known. Inquiry is the action you take when you deliberately challenge the limits of your knowledge.
28. What does the writer want to tell us
A The meaning of inquiry. B. The way to make an inquiry.
C. The method of classroom teaching. D. The limitation of classroom teaching.
29. From the first paragraph, we can see the word “inquiry”
A. has different meanings B. comes from the English language
C. has little to do with asking questions D. means exploring deeper into something
30. To be good at inquiry, you should be good at ___.
A. asking for help from others B. knowing what you don’t know
C. staying focused in the classroom D. understanding what is taught to you
31. What does the underlined word “where” refer to
A. The door to the unknown. B. Within the bubble.
C. In the real world. D. In the world of the unknown.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了inquiry（探究）的含义，从字面含义到内在含义，作者指出要进行探究，你必须善于寻找你知识的边界，以及已知知识中的局限和矛盾。探究是当你有意挑战你的知识极限时所采取的行动。
28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The word “inquiry” (or enquiry) comes from the Latin words “in”, or “inward”, and “quaere”, which is the verb “to question”. So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into something. It has the quality of getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you haven’t been able to see before.(“inquiry”（或inquiry）一词来自拉丁语“in”，即“向内”，以及动词“quaere”，即“询问”。所以探究不仅仅是提出问题，它是对事物的追问。它有一种进入某样东西的品质，更深入，所以你可以看到你以前看不到的东西)”以及最后一段“Inquiry is the action you take when you deliberately challenge the limits of your knowledge.(探究是当你有意挑战你的知识极限时所采取的行动)”可推知，第一段说明了inquiry的字面含义，最后一段说了inquiry的内在含义，即作者想告诉我们探究的意义。故选A。
29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The word “inquiry” (or enquiry) comes from the Latin words “in”, or “inward”, and “quaere”, which is the verb “to question”. So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into something. It has the quality of getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you haven’t been able to see before.(“inquiry”（或enquiry）一词来自拉丁语“in”，即“向内”，以及动词“quaere”，即“询问”。所以探究不仅仅是提出问题，它是对事物的追问。它有一种进入某样东西的品质，更深入，所以你可以看到你以前看不到的东西)”可知，“inquiry”这个词意思是更深入地探索某事。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When you begin an inquiry, you are deliberately setting out to search for what you don’t know.(当你开始探究的时候，你是在刻意地去寻找你不知道的东西)”以及“But in order to use inquiry to answer your question, you have to become good at knowing what you don’t know.(但是为了用探究来回答你的问题，你必须善于知道你不知道的东西)”可知，要善于探究，就要善于知道自己不知道的事情。故选B。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Scientists, basically, are always looking for that “door” from the known to the unknown”可知，此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词“door” from the known to the unknown，在从句中作地点状语，即科学家们一直在寻找从已知到未知的“门”，在通往未知的大门那里他们可以向前推进，在某种意义上，扩大已知的泡沫。故where指的是“通往未知的大门”。故选A。
D
When you walk with a backpack, do you know how the things inside move from side to side Now scientists have figured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.
Picture a pendulum(摆锤) fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side. The pack’s weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to side as you walk. Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement, and produces electrical current to charge a battery.
Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to measure the flow of O2 and CO2. When the volunteers were walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load, the device did not significantly affect their metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of acceleration they’d feel in a regular pack, which might mean greater comfort for a long hike. And the device did produce a steady trickle(涓流) of electricity. If you up the load to 45 pounds, it could fully charge a smartphone only after 12 hours. The details are in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
The device produces electricity from human movement and has been identified as a workable solution to providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices. It is particularly useful to those who work in remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack for their exploration.
But here’s a real conundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds. The researchers say that’s about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries. So they hope that more research lets them lighten the load so that they can ensure the pack charges your phone up without weighing you down.
32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. How the device works. B. What the device looks like.
C. Who the device is designed for. D. Why scientists designed the device.
33. What can we know about the device from Paragraph 3
A. It was useless for a long walk.
B. It failed to produce steady electricity.
C. It harvested energy as the volunteers walked.
D. Royal Society Open Service conducted the study of the device.
34. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in the last paragraph mean
A. bond. B. problem. C. decision. D. method.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Finding Smarter Alternatives to Batteries B. How Can the Movement of Backpack Help
C. Charging Batteries When Carrying Backpacks D. Searching for New Ways to Charge Your Phone
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以用来发电的背包，介绍了工作原理以及存在的问题。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Picture a pendulum(摆锤) fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side. The pack’s weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to side as you walk. Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement, and produces electrical current to charge a battery.(想象一个钟摆固定在背包框架上，两边都有弹簧来稳定。背包的重量与钟摆相连，所以当你走路时钟摆会左右摆动。然后，由摆动运动驱动机器，产生电流给电池充电)”可知，第二段主要讲了设备的工作原理。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“When the volunteers were walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load, the device did not significantly affect their metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of acceleration they’d feel in a regular pack, which might mean greater comfort for a long hike. And the device did produce a steady trickle(涓流) of electricity.(当志愿者带着20磅的负重轻微摆动时，与固定负重时相比，该设备对他们的代谢率没有显著影响。事实上，能量收集包减少了他们在普通背包中感受到的加速度，这可能意味着长距离徒步旅行更舒适。而且这个装置确实产生了稳定的电流)”可知，这个设备在志愿者行走时收集能量。故选C。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“It is particularly useful to those who work in remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack for their exploration.(这对那些在偏远地区工作的人特别有用，因为这些人经常在背包里携带很多重物进行探险)”以及划线词后文“the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds. The researchers say that’s about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries.

第二节 (满分 25 分)
67. 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。
In the first and second grades, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even if I knew someone well. I was even quieter with strangers, and so I wasn’t very good at meeting new people. I was afraid that I would do or say something wrong.
So in our school’s annual grand play, I usually sat in a secluded (僻静的) corner to watch the performance alone. I hoped to sit in the background and watch the actors sweat in front of all those pairs of eyes.
One day in the third grade, my teacher Mrs. Sally called me into her office and said, “Oh, Mary, you re great at memorizing things, and you have such a sweet personality. Perfect for Jenny! ‘ But I bowed my head and dared not speak. The teacher saw this and then said, “Of course, plenty of girls would love the role, and I could find somebody else. But I hope you could try it for me. I had you in mind for Jenny while writing the play! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It’s your choice.”
My mind was spinning (快速旋转) faster than the windmill (风车) on the school playground. Mrs. Sally, whom I loved and admired, wanted me to play this role. She believed in me. My eyes moved across the room to a poster I had never noticed before. It showed a shooting star and read, “If you reach for the stars, you might at least grab a piece of the moon.” I looked into Mrs. Sally’s shining blue eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll try.” I realized it was time to throw off my shy mask and show the world who I really was.
In the following five months, the teacher taught me how to set, put on makeup, memorize lines, create costumes and so on. Gradually, I mastered (掌握) my lines and songs.
注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；
2、请按如下格式作答。
The big day came at last.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed my nervousness.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The big day came at last. I jogged all the way to the backstage of the school hall. Cameras were lighting up in all directions. Looking back on five months practise, I seemed to have confidence in myself. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring and outgoing person who had been hidden all along. However, when I was about to go on stage, my heart was pounding so hard that my throat tightened and my knees felt weak.
At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed that my nervousness. “It doesn’t matter how you do tonight,” she said. “You’ve already shown how wonderful you are.” Looking into Mrs Sally’s shining blue eyes, I calmed down and then walked onto the stage with his warm words like a ray of sunshine. When I finished my performance, the audience burst into applause. The scene made me feel myself floating in an ocean of happiness. I knew that all this was due to the encouragement from my teacher, who helped me find the confidence to succeed.

Before the exams began, God told me in my mind several times, “Don’t cheat.” But I did not listen because I knew it was not easy for me to get good marks in exams. Taking out my notebook, I copied the answers from it and passed the exams with very good marks.
I felt guilty and ashamed and asked God to forgive me, which I thought was all I needed to do to give me peace. Using my good exam results I went on further with my education. Studying in Kwara State College of Education, I could not have peace in my mind, thinking, “You have done wrong. The result is not yours.”
At last I went to the leaders of my church to ask for help, who told me that it is not enough to say sorry to God. I must show that I am sorry by putting right what I did wrong. For me, that meant telling the principal of the college that I cheated in the exams and that I should not have got into the college. I wrote a letter to him, telling him what I had done and took the letter to the principal’s office and gave it to his secretary, who read it first. “If this gets to the principal you will go to prison, ” she said, “Go away and think about it.”
I went back to the church leaders and told them what the secretary said and they said I must still go to the principal. So the next day, I went back to the secretary, who took me to see the principal this time. To my surprise, he told me not to be afraid but to go to the person who was in charge of the exams. I did as required and that person let me take the exams again. I passed! Now I am back at the college, but, more important, God has taken away the feelings of guilt and I have peace in my mind.

The word “inquiry” (or enquiry) comes from the Latin words “in”, or “inward”, and “quaere”, which is the verb “to question”. So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into something. It has the quality of getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you haven’t been able to see before.
When you begin an inquiry, you are deliberately setting out to search for what you don’t know. You have to have the confidence to say that you might be able to figure it out for yourself. And in that process, you get a sense of real excitement and energy. That energy is both part of, and contributes to, what we often call “engagement(参与)”. But in order to use inquiry to answer your question, you have to become good at knowing what you don’t know. I would argue that that’s exactly the opposite of what happens in schools. Classrooms focus on what you do know (or are supposed to know) and leave you unprepared to deal with the things you don’t know.
In some ways, we are all surrounded by a bubble(气泡) of the known. When you “know” something, you identify how your model of the world fits with and explains what you see. Living in the bubble of the known is comfortable and comforting. You see what you know, and you know what you see. But to do inquiry, you have to get good at always looking for the boundaries of your knowledge, and at the limitations and contradictions within what is known. That is what scientists do. They are always looking for the limits, the boundaries and the points at which their theories fail to explain the world. Scientists, basically, are always looking for that “door” from the known to the unknown, where they can press forth and push and, in a sense, expand the bubble of the known. Inquiry is the action you take when you deliberately challenge the limits of your knowledge.
28. What does the writer want to tell us
A. The meaning of inquiry. B. The way to make an inquiry.
C. The method of classroom teaching. D. The limitation of classroom teaching.
29. From the first paragraph, we can see the word “inquiry”
A. has different meanings B. comes from the English language
C. has little to do with asking questions D. means exploring deeper into something
30. To be good at inquiry, you should be good at ___.
A. asking for help from others B. knowing what you don’t know
C. staying focused in the classroom D. understanding what is taught to you
31. What does the underlined word “where” refer to
A. The door to the unknown. B. Within the bubble.
C. In the real world. D. In the world of the unknown.
D
When you walk with a backpack, do you know how the things inside move from side to side Now scientists have figured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.
Picture a pendulum(摆锤) fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side. The pack’s weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to side as you walk. Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement, and produces electrical current to charge a battery.
Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to measure the flow of O2 and CO2. When the volunteers were walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load, the device did not significantly affect their metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of acceleration they’d feel in a regular pack, which might mean greater comfort for a long hike. And the device did produce a steady trickle(涓流) of electricity. If you up the load to 45 pounds, it could fully charge a smartphone only after 12 hours. The details are in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
The device produces electricity from human movement and has been identified as a workable solution to providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices. It is particularly useful to those who work in remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack for their exploration.
But here’s a real conundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds. The researchers say that’s about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries. So they hope that more research lets them lighten the load so that they can ensure the pack charges your phone up without weighing you down.
32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. How the device works. B. What the device looks like.
C. Who the device is designed for. D. Why scientists designed the device.
33 What can we know about the device from Paragraph 3
A. It was useless for a long walk.
B. It failed to produce steady electricity.
C. It harvested energy as the volunteers walked.
D. Royal Society Open Service conducted the study of the device.
34. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in the last paragraph mean
A. bond. B. problem. C. decision. D. method.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Finding Smarter Alternatives to Batteries B. How Can the Movement of Backpack Help
C. Charging Batteries When Carrying Backpacks D. Searching for New Ways to Charge Your Phone

67. 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。
In the first and second grades, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even if I knew someone well. I was even quieter with strangers, and so I wasn’t very good at meeting new people. I was afraid that I would do or say something wrong.
So in our school’s annual grand play, I usually sat in a secluded (僻静的) corner to watch the performance alone. I hoped to sit in the background and watch the actors sweat in front of all those pairs of eyes.
One day in the third grade, my teacher Mrs. Sally called me into her office and said, “Oh, Mary, you re great at memorizing things, and you have such a sweet personality. Perfect for Jenny! ‘ But I bowed my head and dared not speak. The teacher saw this and then said, “Of course, plenty of girls would love the role, and I could find somebody else. But I hope you could try it for me. I had you in mind for Jenny while writing the play! If you really don’t want to, I won’t force you. It’s your choice.”
My mind was spinning (快速旋转) faster than the windmill (风车) on the school playground. Mrs. Sally, whom I loved and admired, wanted me to play this role. She believed in me. My eyes moved across the room to a poster I had never noticed before. It showed a shooting star and read, “If you reach for the stars, you might at least grab a piece of the moon.” I looked into Mrs. Sally’s shining blue eyes and said, “Okay, I’ll try.” I realized it was time to throw off my shy mask and show the world who I really was.
In the following five months, the teacher taught me how to set, put on makeup, memorize lines, create costumes and so on. Gradually, I mastered (掌握) my lines and songs.
注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；
2、请按如下格式作答。
The big day came at last.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed my nervousness.
