Every November, as Thanksgiving Day approaches, one memory comes to my mind. At my big Turkish family’s get-togethers, baklava (果仁蜜饼) is the norm at the dessert table. There’s rolled baklava, nut-filled baklava and chocolate-dipped baklava.
One year, though, back when I was in high school, my cousin Johnny decided to change things up a bit. He showed up at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving with two items that had never been served before--apple pie and a can of cream.
Those two items caused one of the biggest arguments. I distinctly remember my mom and aunts whispering in the kitchen.
“Apple pie ” one of my aunts said. “What to do with this ”
I can still recall my mom’s puzzled expression at it all. If there’s one thing in this world my mom distrusts, it’s fruit-filled desserts, a no-no in our cuisine culture. “Why would you bake fruits into a dessert when you can eat them fresh ” she often says.
The cream only made things worse. My mom didn’t want to hurt Johnny’s feelings. In a true act of love, she put the pie out on the dining room table, accompanied by the cream. It went mostly untouched.
Nowadays, things are different. We actually have pie at Thanksgiving--my mom regularly makes pie (the fear of fruit-filled sweets continues, but desserts topped with fruits or nuts have been given the okay). We still laugh about the drama caused by Johnny’s apple pie. I’ll never forget it. It wasn’t just about the pie for me. Growing up, I sometimes felt like an outsider because of my culture. That Thanksgiving, though, was one of the first times I realized that my family’s oddness was actually a good thing. It’s what made us.
What about you Which Thanksgiving sticks out as your most memorable one
24. The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce ________.
A. the unique family tradition B. the background of the story
C. different kinds of baklava D. the customs of Thanksgiving Day
25. Johnny’s apple pie ________.
A. ruined the festival atmosphere B. challenged family traditions
C. resulted in a family quarrel D. contributed to a heavy meal
26. Which of the following is the best description of the author’s mom
A. Serious and honest. B. Generous and strict.
C. Humorous and caring. D. Considerate and flexible.
27. What does the underlined sentence “It’s what made us.” in Paragraph 7 imply
A. The author is at ease with his family members.
B. The author is aware of the importance of customs.
C. Cuisine culture helps shape our identity.
D. Culture shocks make a harmonious family.
C
People often recommend planting trees to make cities greener, cleaner and healthier. But during heat waves, city trees can actually increase air pollution. Indeed, a new study has found, up to 60 percent of the smoggy ozone in a city’s air on hot days may trace to chemicals emitted by trees. Galina Churkina, who works at Humboldt University of Berlin, and her team have confirmed it.
The findings might seem the opposite of what you would expect, notes Robert Young, an expert in city planting at the University of Texas at Austin. Indeed, he says, “Everything has multiple effects.” The new findings do not mean cities should discourage tree planting. Instead, cities may need stricter controls on other sources of pollution, such as tailpipeemissions from cars and trucks.
City trees soak up carbon dioxide, and at the same time they release oxygen into the air. But oxygen is far from the only gas that trees and certain other green plants release into the air. One of these chemicals is a hydrocarbon known as isoprene(异戊二烯). It can react with combustion(燃烧)pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides(氮氧化物)emitted by cars and trucks in cities. The result is the formation of ozone, a component of smog, which can irritate the lungs and cause airway diseases.
Churkina says her team is not surprised to see the seemingly contrary relationship between plants and pollution. She adds that its importance is quite amazing. “The results,” Churkina says, “suggest that city tree planting programs should not ignore the role this greenery may play in aggravating summer air pollution.” “Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if those cities also undertake plans to sharply cut vehicle pollution in summer and to increase their reliance on clean energy sources for electric power,” she says.
28. What does the new study find about city trees on hot days
A. City trees can reduce the smoggy ozone.
B. City trees may easily absorb heat waves.
C. City trees may cause more air pollution.
D. More city trees can make a city far better.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The harm ozone does to people in cities.
B. The way trees help the formation of ozone.
C. The chemicals green plants release into the air.
D. The benefits trees bring to the city environment.
30. What does the underlined word “aggravating” mean in the last paragraph
A. Worsening. B. Decreasing. C. Improving. D. Releasing.
31. Which of the following is suggested by Churkina
A. Planting more trees in cities.
B. Advocating using clean energy.
C. Improving people’s quality of life.
D. Banning vehicle pollution in summer.
D
Technology is starting to give us superpowers once reserved only for comic book heroes like Spider-Man and Superman. We now live in an age of human enhancement and related technology has captured the attention of the media and investors.
Some of these new technologies achieve their effects by means of electronic devices that connect our brains to external sources of knowledge, sensory data or physical power. We may not get chips implanted in our brains any time soon, but think about Google Glass--who needs an inserted chip when you can wear a computer on your head
Wearable technology doesn’t only come in the form of a pair of glasses. A Japanese laboratory is working on a more practical prototype (雏形) of a muscle suit than lron Man’s shiny armor (盔甲). The muscle suit, called an exoskeleton, enables the sick and elderly to move around more easily, New Scientist magazine reported. Coveting (觊觎) the powers of Spider-Man, the US military is working on a “Spider-Man suit” that not only lets wearers climb vertical walls, but also allows them to sense approaching objects without looking at or hearing them, according to an American military technology website.
But perhaps you favor more subtle powers like mind control or mind reading. This may one day come true as well. The most amazing human enhancement technologies that have come into reality are devices that interact directly with the human brain.
Q Sensor, created by scientists at MIT, is a wireless sensor that measures electricity conducted through the skin. It can detect whether people are bored, stressed or excited, and therefore has wide applications in research and therapy, the BBC reported.
Scientists envision neural implants that could allow humans to manipulate real-world objects with their mind--a power not unlike mind control. Slate magazine reported this might already be happening.
32. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. New technologies have brought us into a new era.
B. Superpowers of comic book heroes have been widely applied nowadays.
C. Human enhancement refers to the superpowers of the comic book heroes.
D. Spider-Man and Superman have captured the attention of the media and investors.
33. What can we know about Google Glass
A. It is implanted in our brains.
B. It is technology with inserted chips.
C. It is a device which makes us superheroes.
D. It is a technology that enhances human power.
34. Which of the following items does NOT involve wearable technology
A. Google Glass. B. The muscle suit.
C. Iron Man’s armor. D. The Spider-Man suit.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. Explore superpowers for human enhancement
B. Go beyond Iron Man’s shiny armor
C. Meet superheroes in real life
D Embrace the unknown world
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is well-known that food which is full of fat isn’t good for your heart. ____36____Australian researchers tested people with asthma(哮喘)before and after a high-fat meal or a low-fat meal. Then they found that the high-fat meal increased inflammation(炎症)and reduced the lung functions.
30 non-obese people with asthma took part in the study, as well as 16 obese adults. The non-obese volunteers received either a high-fat or low-fat meal, while the obese ones were all given a high-fat meal____37____The low-fat meal was 13 percent fat.
Four hours after the meal, the researchers found that the airway inflammation increased a lot and lung function was affected in those who had the high-fat meal. And these people saw just a 1 percent improvement in their lung function when they used their inhalers(吸入器)to treat asthma.____38____
“If these results can be tested again by further research, this suggests that reducing the amount of fatty food one eats may be useful for managing asthma,” said the study’s lead author, Lisa Wood, at the Hunter Medical Research Institute in New Lambton. “The number of people in the world with asthma has increased greatly over the past few decades.____39____”
Dr Thomas Leath, director at Scott & White Healthcare in Texas, said, “Eating fatty food can lead to obesity, and fat can certainly cause a small amount of inflammation. ____40____”He doubted whether the effect on lung function was great enough for people to notice, but said the study provided one more reason why people shouldn’t have high-fat diets.
A. And one reason is the high-fat Western diet.
B. Inflammation can be either short-lived or long-lasting.
C. But now a new study suggests that fatty meals may affect the lung function too.
D. But I’m surprised that one meal could do this.
E. The high-fat meal was 50 percent fat.
F. People are generally considered obese when their body mass index is over 30 kg/㎡.
G. Those who ate the low-fat meal saw a 4.5 percent improvement.

That’s a vast ____53____.
Today, I’ll be ____54____the Lionesses and the song “It’s coming home” will mean more this time around, because it’ll mean talented, skillful female footballers being ____55____into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she can also be a Lioness one day.

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。
Next to our house lived an old couple who, accustomed to country life, were unwilling to move to the city to live with their son and stuck in a lonely existence for many years. It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others, including their next-door neighbours.
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor (流言，传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support.
I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve doneto our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those e outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red, but her eyes.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath.

M: Sounds reasonable. We have to admit that there are many advantages of electric cars. They are energy efficient, good for the environment, and they don’t require as much maintenanceas traditional gas-powered cars.
W: Wow, you really know a lot about cars.
M: Ha-ha, I guess all men like cars.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: The 30-year-old chef Dieuveil Malonga has visited 38 of Africa’s 54 countries, bringing back ingredients that add taste and flavor to the dishes served at his restaurant. Food experts have largely ignored this continent’s cooking heritage, with not a single Michelin-starred restaurant to be found on the continent. But that may soon change, thanks to the efforts of chefs like Malonga, who founded Chefs in Africa — a website devoted to promoting the region’s rising stars. He stressed the diversity of African food, citing the example of Nigeria, where one can choose from more than 20 dishes on any given day.
Malonga was born near Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo. At 13, he moved to Germany, later joining a famous cooking school in Munster. After graduating, he trained at some of Germany’s top restaurants before moving to France to work. After falling in love with Rwanda, a country with a gentle climate — he opened a restaurant in 2020 there. The restaurant is not cheap. An average meal including drinks costs around $150 per person, but his customers are happy to pay for an experience that marries traditional African ingredients with modern techniques.

Every November, as Thanksgiving Day approaches, one memory comes to my mind. At my big Turkish family’s get-togethers, baklava (果仁蜜饼) is the norm at the dessert table. There’s rolled baklava, nut-filled baklava and chocolate-dipped baklava.
One year, though, back when I was in high school, my cousin Johnny decided to change things up a bit. He showed up at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving with two items that had never been served before--apple pie and a can of cream.
Those two items caused one of the biggest arguments. I distinctly remember my mom and aunts whispering in the kitchen.
“Apple pie ” one of my aunts said. “What to do with this ”
I can still recall my mom’s puzzled expression at it all. If there’s one thing in this world my mom distrusts, it’s fruit-filled desserts, a no-no in our cuisine culture. “Why would you bake fruits into a dessert when you can eat them fresh ” she often says.
The cream only made things worse. My mom didn’t want to hurt Johnny’s feelings. In a true act of love, she put the pie out on the dining room table, accompanied by the cream. It went mostly untouched.
Nowadays, things are different. We actually have pie at Thanksgiving--my mom regularly makes pie (the fear of fruit-filled sweets continues, but desserts topped with fruits or nuts have been given the okay). We still laugh about the drama caused by Johnny’s apple pie. I’ll never forget it. It wasn’t just about the pie for me. Growing up, I sometimes felt like an outsider because of my culture. That Thanksgiving, though, was one of the first times I realized that my family’s oddness was actually a good thing. It’s what made us.
What about you Which Thanksgiving sticks out as your most memorable one
24. The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce ________.
A. the unique family tradition B. the background of the story
C. different kinds of baklava D. the customs of Thanksgiving Day

People often recommend planting trees to make cities greener, cleaner and healthier. But during heat waves, city trees can actually increase air pollution. Indeed, a new study has found, up to 60 percent of the smoggy ozone in a city’s air on hot days may trace to chemicals emitted by trees. Galina Churkina, who works at Humboldt University of Berlin, and her team have confirmed it.
The findings might seem the opposite of what you would expect, notes Robert Young, an expert in city planting at the University of Texas at Austin. Indeed, he says, “Everything has multiple effects.” The new findings do not mean cities should discourage tree planting. Instead, cities may need stricter controls on other sources of pollution, such as tailpipeemissions from cars and trucks.
City trees soak up carbon dioxide, and at the same time they release oxygen into the air. But oxygen is far from the only gas that trees and certain other green plants release into the air. One of these chemicals is a hydrocarbon known as isoprene(异戊二烯). It can react with combustion(燃烧)pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides(氮氧化物)emitted by cars and trucks in cities. The result is the formation of ozone, a component of smog, which can irritate the lungs and cause airway diseases.
Churkina says her team is not surprised to see the seemingly contrary relationship between plants and pollution. She adds that its importance is quite amazing. “The results,” Churkina says, “suggest that city tree planting programs should not ignore the role this greenery may play in aggravating summer air pollution.” “Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if those cities also undertake plans to sharply cut vehicle pollution in summer and to increase their reliance on clean energy sources for electric power,” she says.
28. What does the new study find about city trees on hot days
A. City trees can reduce the smoggy ozone.
B. City trees may easily absorb heat waves.
C. City trees may cause more air pollution.
D. More city trees can make a city far better.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The harm ozone does to people in cities.
B. The way trees help the formation of ozone.
C. The chemicals green plants release into the air.
D. The benefits trees bring to the city environment.
30. What does the underlined word “aggravating” mean in the last paragraph
A. Worsening. B. Decreasing. C. Improving. D. Releasing.
31 Which of the following is suggested by Churkina
A. Planting more trees in cities.
B. Advocating using clean energy.
C. Improving people’s quality of life.
D. Banning vehicle pollution in summer.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明在热浪期间，城市树木实际上会增加空气污染。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“People often recommend planting trees to make cities greener, cleaner and healthier. But during heat waves, city trees can actually increase air pollution. Indeed, a new study has found, up to 60 percent of the smoggy ozone in a city’s air on hot days may trace to chemicals emitted by trees. Galina Churkina, who works at Humboldt University of Berlin, and her team have confirmed it.(人们经常建议植树使城市更绿、更清洁、更健康。但在热浪期间，城市树木实际上会增加空气污染。事实上，一项新的研究发现，在炎热的日子里，城市空气中高达60%的烟雾臭氧可能来自树木排放的化学物质。柏林洪堡大学的Galina Churkina和她的团队已经证实了这一点。)”可知，最新的研究表明城市树木实际上会增加空气污染。故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“City trees soak up carbon dioxide, and at the same time they release oxygen into the air. But oxygen is far from the only gas that trees and certain other green plants release into the air. One of these chemicals is a hydrocarbon known as isoprene(异戊二烯). It can react with combustion(燃烧)pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides(氮氧化物)emitted by cars and trucks in cities. The result is the formation of ozone, a component of smog, which can irritate the lungs and cause airway diseases.(城市树木吸收二氧化碳，同时向空气中释放氧气。但是氧气并不是树木和其他绿色植物释放到空气中的唯一气体。其中一种化学物质是一种被称为异戊二烯的碳氢化合物。它可以与燃烧污染物发生反应，例如城市中汽车和卡车排放的氮氧化物。其结果是形成臭氧，这是烟雾的一种成分，它会刺激肺部并导致呼吸道疾病。)”可知，第三段主要介绍的是城市树木是怎样形成臭氧的。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“But during heat waves, city trees can actually increase air pollution. Indeed, a new study has found, up to 60 percent of the smoggy ozone in a city’s air on hot days may trace to chemicals emitted by trees.

【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if those cities also undertake plans to sharply cut vehicle pollution in summer and to increase their reliance on clean energy sources for electric power,” she says.(她说：“只有当这些城市同时实施计划，大幅减少夏季车辆污染，并增加对清洁能源的依赖，增加更多的树木才能改善生活质量。”)”可知，Churkina建议大幅减少夏季车辆污染，并增加对清洁能源的依赖。故选B。
D
Technology is starting to give us superpowers once reserved only for comic book heroes like Spider-Man and Superman. We now live in an age of human enhancement and related technology has captured the attention of the media and investors.
Some of these new technologies achieve their effects by means of electronic devices that connect our brains to external sources of knowledge, sensory data or physical power. We may not get chips implanted in our brains any time soon, but think about Google Glass--who needs an inserted chip when you can wear a computer on your head
Wearable technology doesn’t only come in the form of a pair of glasses. A Japanese laboratory is working on a more practical prototype (雏形) of a muscle suit than lron Man’s shiny armor (盔甲). The muscle suit, called an exoskeleton, enables the sick and elderly to move around more easily, New Scientist magazine reported. Coveting (觊觎) the powers of Spider-Man, the US military is working on a “Spider-Man suit” that not only lets wearers climb vertical walls, but also allows them to sense approaching objects without looking at or hearing them, according to an American military technology website.
But perhaps you favor more subtle powers like mind control or mind reading. This may one day come true as well. The most amazing human enhancement technologies that have come into reality are devices that interact directly with the human brain.
Q Sensor, created by scientists at MIT, is a wireless sensor that measures electricity conducted through the skin. It can detect whether people are bored, stressed or excited, and therefore has wide applications in research and therapy, the BBC reported.
Scientists envision neural implants that could allow humans to manipulate real-world objects with their mind--a power not unlike mind control. Slate magazine reported this might already be happening.
32. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs
A. New technologies have brought us into a new era.
B. Superpowers of comic book heroes have been widely applied nowadays.
C. Human enhancement refers to the superpowers of the comic book heroes.
D. Spider-Man and Superman have captured the attention of the media and investors.
33. What can we know about Google Glass
A. It is implanted in our brains.
B. It is technology with inserted chips.
C. It is a device which makes us superheroes.
D. It is a technology that enhances human power.
34. Which of the following items does NOT involve wearable technology
A. Google Glass. B. The muscle suit.
C. Iron Man’s armor. D. The Spider-Man suit.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. Explore superpowers for human enhancement
B. Go beyond Iron Man’s shiny armor
C. Meet superheroes in real life
D. Embrace the unknown world
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. A

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is well-known that food which is full of fat isn’t good for your heart. ____36____Australian researchers tested people with asthma(哮喘)before and after a high-fat meal or a low-fat meal. Then they found that the high-fat meal increased inflammation(炎症)and reduced the lung functions.
30 non-obese people with asthma took part in the study, as well as 16 obese adults. The non-obese volunteers received either a high-fat or low-fat meal, while the obese ones were all given a high-fat meal____37____The low-fat meal was 13 percent fat.
Four hours after the meal, the researchers found that the airway inflammation increased a lot and lung function was affected in those who had the high-fat meal. And these people saw just a 1 percent improvement in their lung function when they used their inhalers(吸入器)to treat asthma.____38____
“If these results can be tested again by further research, this suggests that reducing the amount of fatty food one eats may be useful for managing asthma,” said the study’s lead author, Lisa Wood, at the Hunter Medical Research Institute in New Lambton. “The number of people in the world with asthma has increased greatly over the past few decades.____39____”
Dr Thomas Leath, director at Scott & White Healthcare in Texas, said, “Eating fatty food can lead to obesity, and fat can certainly cause a small amount of inflammation. ____40____”He doubted whether the effect on lung function was great enough for people to notice, but said the study provided one more reason why people shouldn’t have high-fat diets.
A And one reason is the high-fat Western diet.
B. Inflammation can be either short-lived or long-lasting.
C. But now a new study suggests that fatty meals may affect the lung function too.
D. But I’m surprised that one meal could do this.
E. The high-fat meal was 50 percent fat.
F. People are generally considered obese when their body mass index is over 30 kg/㎡.
G. Those who ate the low-fat meal saw a 4.5 percent improvement.
【答案】36. C 37. E 38. G 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了富含脂肪的食物对肺功能的害处。
【36题详解】
根据下文内容“Australian researchers tested people with asthma(哮喘)before and after a high-fat meal or a low-fat meal. Then they found that the high-fat meal increased inflammation(炎症)and reduced the lung functions.(澳大利亚研究人员在高脂肪餐或低脂肪餐前后对哮喘患者进行了测试。然后他们发现高脂肪食物会增加炎症并降低肺功能。)”可知，下文主要讲述的是高脂肪食物对肺功能的影响。选项C“But now a new study suggests that fatty meals may affect the lung function too.(但现在一项新的研究表明，高脂肪食物也可能影响肺功能。)”引出下文内容，指的都是高脂肪食物会影响肺功能。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据上文内容“30 non-obese people with asthma took part in the study, as well as 16 obese adults. The non-obese volunteers received either a high-fat or low-fat meal, while the obese ones were all given a high-fat meal(30名非肥胖的哮喘患者和16名肥胖的成年人参加了这项研究。不肥胖的志愿者吃高脂肪或低脂肪的食物，而肥胖的志愿者都吃高脂肪的食物。)”可知参加研究的志愿者所食用的食物分为高脂肪食物和低脂肪食物。而空后“The low-fat meal was 13 percent fat.(低脂肪的食物含有13%的脂肪。)”指的是低脂肪食物含脂肪量。由此推断，空处指的是高脂肪食物的含脂肪量。选项E“The high-fat meal was 50 percent fat.(高脂肪餐含有50%的脂肪。)”指的是高脂肪餐的含脂肪量。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据上文内容“Four hours after the meal, the researchers found that the airway inflammation increased a lot and lung function was affected in those who had the high-fat meal. And these people saw just a 1 percent improvement in their lung function when they used their inhalers(吸入器)to treat asthma.(饭后4小时，研究人员发现，那些吃高脂肪食物的人气道炎症增加了很多，肺功能也受到了影响。当这些人使用吸入器治疗哮喘时，他们的肺功能只有1%的改善。)”可知，上文主要介绍了研究的结果。研究表明，食用高脂肪食物的的人炎症增加，而使用吸入器治疗哮喘时，肺功能只有1%的改善。选项G“Those who ate the low-fat meal saw a 4.5 percent improvement.(那些吃低脂食物的人有4.5%的改善。)”延续上文内容，继续介绍研究结果，指的是吃低脂肪食物的人有4.5%的改善。故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文内容““If these results can be tested again by further research, this suggests that reducing the amount of fatty food one eats may be useful for managing asthma,” said the study’s lead author, Lisa Wood, at the Hunter Medical Research Institute in New Lambton.(该研究的主要作者、新兰姆顿亨特医学研究所的Lisa Wood说：“如果这些结果可以通过进一步的研究再次验证，这表明减少高脂肪食物的摄入量可能有助于控制哮喘。”)”可推断出，减少高脂肪食物的摄入有助于控制哮喘。而空前内容“The number of people in the world with asthma has increased greatly over the past few decades.(在过去的几十年里，世界上患有哮喘的人数大大增加。)”指的则是患哮喘的人数大大增加。由此可推断出，这是由于高脂肪食物的摄入增加。选项A“And one reason is the high-fat Western diet.(原因之一是西方的高脂肪饮食。)”符合上文内容，指出患哮喘的人数大大增加的原因之一就是西方的高脂肪饮食。故选A。
【40题详解】
空处为Dr. Thomas Leath的想法，根据空前内容“Eating fatty food can lead to obesity, and fat can certainly cause a small amount of inflammation.(吃高脂肪食物会导致肥胖，而脂肪肯定会引起少量炎症。)”可知，Dr. Thomas Leath认为脂肪会引起少量炎症。选项D“But I’m surprised that one meal could do this.(但我很惊讶一顿饭就能做到这一点。)”延续上文内容，指的是Dr. Thomas Leath知道脂肪会引起炎症，但是没想到一顿饭就有如此大的影响。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。由于对明清时期乡村建筑的出色保存，西递和附近的宏村被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产，文章对其具有历史特色的乡村建筑进行了介绍。
【56题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：2000年，因为对明清时期乡村建筑的出色保存，西递和附近的宏村被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产。动词短语date back意为“追溯到”，和系动词之间没有连词，和逻辑主语architecture构成主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填dating。
【57题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：此外，徽州房屋重视日光，这体现在开放的室内庭院的建筑上，这可以让阳光进入房间。动词allow意为“允许”，和系动词之间没有连词，和逻辑主语“open interior courtyards”构成主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式。故填allowing。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意：现在，走在那里的青石街道上，游客可以欣赏到独特的徽州风格的房子，白墙、黑瓦、分层的马头屋顶，感觉自己沉浸在一幅传统的中国水墨画中。“can appreciate”和“feel like”构成并列关系，所以应用连词and连接两个并列谓语。故填and。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意：16世纪，为纪念明朝官员胡文光，西递村入口处有一座象征性的牌坊，胡文光出生于西递村，为当地的教育和生计做出了巨大贡献。此处作定语应用形容词symbolic表示“象征性的”。故填symbolic。
【60题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。句意：16世纪，为纪念明朝官员胡文光，西递村入口处有一座象征性的牌坊，胡文光出生于西递村，为当地的教育和生计做出了巨大贡献。根据“in the 16th century”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词build意为“建立”，和主语构成被动关系。主语paifang为第三人称单数。故填was built。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：16世纪，为纪念明朝官员胡文光，西递村入口处有一座象征性的牌坊，胡文光出生于西递村，为当地的教育和生计做出了巨大贡献。official意为“官员”，为可数名词，此处“Ming Dynasty official”为第一次出现，所以应用不定冠词表示泛指。Ming的开头发音为辅音，所以不定冠词应用a。故填a。
62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：16世纪，为纪念明朝官员胡文光，西递村入口处有一座象征性的牌坊，胡文光出生于西递村，为当地的教育和生计做出了巨大贡献。make contributions to意为“对……做出贡献”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用名词复数contributions表示“贡献”作宾语。故填contributions。
【63题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意：正是当地人希望保护当地历史特色的愿望，使得这些建筑得以保存至今。lead to sb doing意为“导致某人做某事”，为固定搭配，动词preserve意为“保存”，和逻辑主语buildings构成被动关系，所以此处应用动名词的被动语态形式。故填being preserved。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：除了古老的民居和牌坊，还有一些宗祠，宗族会聚集在那里祭祀他们的祖先。在定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语，且先行词为ancestral halls，所以应用关系副词where。故填where。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意：这些徽州老建筑以其独特的市场价值，充分发挥着其独特的文化魅力。give full play to意为“充分发挥”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词to。故填to。

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。
Next to our house lived an old couple, who, accustomed to country life, were unwilling to move to the city to live with their son and stuck in a lonely existence for many years. It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others, including their next-door neighbours.
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor (流言，传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support.
I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose.
One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve doneto our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those e outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red, but her eyes.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath.

Paragraph 2:
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said. “We are sorry about the flowers. The girls will fix them and help weed the roses.” said Mom. My sisters and I looked at each other in horror, but Ruby smiled through her tears. “I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.” Soon both women were down on their knees examining the damaged bushes together.
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friendship was formed between the families. Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house, especially during countless birthdays, graduations and weddings. And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge.
