It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.
I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.
My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.
4. Which word can best describe the author’s daughter
A. Wealthy. B. Thoughtful. C. Easy-going. D. Humorous.
5. Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet
A. It cost too much. B. It was looking dirty.
C. There was not enough room for his new coat. D. It was not sent to someone in need.
6. What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old
A. Telling his daughter. B. Buying a new one soon.
C. Donating it to charity. D. Sending something else to charity.
7. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Giving fills our wants. B. Love is the key to joy.
C. The more you give, the more you lose. D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者分享了自己处理两件穿旧了的冬季外套的经历，表达了自己对于处理欲望的感悟：真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予，一个人给予的越多，拥有的也就越多。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift. (我并不是真的需要一件新的，但我想要一件，有一天我不经意地向女儿提起了这件事。她是一个如此亲切、和善的女孩，我应该猜到接下来会发生什么。几个星期后，她送给我一件新的冬季外套作为礼物)”可知，作者的女儿在他不经意地提到想要一件冬季外套后，很快就给他送了一件作为礼物。由此可知，女儿是体贴的。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. (然而，每天当我打开衣柜的时候，总有一些事情困扰着我。在寒冷的冬天，我那件旧的但仍然很好的外套就这么坐在那里，没有给任何人保暖，这似乎是一种遗憾)”结合下文作者把旧衣服捐到慈善机构可知，作者看到旧外套感到遗憾，是因为自己没把这件衣服送去帮助有需要的人。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. (它的状况太糟糕了，甚至无法捐赠给慈善机构)”和“I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead. (我真的不需要新的，也许我可以找点别的东西捐给慈善商店)”可知，第二件旧外套糟糕到无法捐赠，于是作者决定找别的物品送往慈善机构。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have. (拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生曾经说过：“欲望是一个成长中的巨人，‘拥有’的外套永远不足以覆盖它。”也许对付我们的欲望最好的办法就是给予。毕竟，爱给我们带来了最大的快乐。你付出的越多，你拥有的也就越多)”可知，作者引用了爱默生的名言，阐明人的欲望是无法通过拥有被完全满足的，并强调应用给予、爱和付出去对付欲望。由此可知，作者想说的是能真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予。故选A项。
C
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact(互动) online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Recently researchers have found that too much time on social media may have some negative effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the mere time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When watching social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络欺凌) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
8. What effect does social media have according to the recent research
A. It enables people to make more friends on the Internet.
B. It increases unhappiness for people using it too much.
C. It makes people have much more wonderful lives.
D. It helps people to have a better knowledge of the world
9. Why are people worried when they post positive stories
A. They fear others mislead their posts.
B. They think others have happier lives.
C. They fear they may be cyber bullied by others.
D. They fear others have no interest in the stories.
10. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By giving causes. B. By listing figures.
C. By making comparison. D. By describing process.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. Persuading people to disconnect from the Internet.
B. Introducing the convenience social media creates.
C. Describing the threats caused by social media.
D. Telling us to balance online and offline lives.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了社交媒体的流行以及对人们生活的影响，并提醒人们用正确的心态去对待社交媒体所展示的内容。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the mere time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.(他们测量了人们在观看社交媒体网站前后的态度和感受。他们发现，人们花在社交媒体上的时间越长，他们就越不开心)”可知，如果人们过度使用社交媒体，人们会不快乐。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying” where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them. (即使是那些发布正面故事和图片的人，他们也会感到压力和担忧。他们帖子上的“点赞”和评论数量会让他们对自己的受欢迎程度感到焦虑。当然，还有“网络欺凌”的问题，当其他人对他们发表负面或残酷的评论时，人们会成为网络欺凌的受害者)”可知，发布积极故事的人们也会害怕遭遇其他人的网络欺凌。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“There are a number of reasons for this.(这个的原因有很多)”以及段落内容可知，本段主要介绍了人们使用社交媒体时间越长越不开心的原因，即作者是通过给出原因来展开第三段的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture.(这项研究向我们表明，在我们的线上和线下生活之间找到平衡是很重要的。我们不必为了过上幸福的生活而与互联网断开连接，但我们应该意识到，我们看到的图片和读到的故事只是更大图景的一部分)”可知，作者写这篇文章是为了提醒读者平衡线上和线下生活，这是很重要的。故选D。
D
Every year, as many as 50, 000 elephants in Africa are killed illegally for their tusks (象牙). Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.
Even though it’s against the law, African elephants have long been killed by criminals for their tusks. Other people, called “traffickers”, buy the tusks and transport them out of the country on a ship. The traffickers re-sell the tusks for even more money, usually in Asia. Elephant tusks can sell for about $1, 000 a kilogram.
In the past, it was hard to catch the criminals. Usually by the time the dead animals were found, the illegal hunters had been far away. And when traffickers were caught with elephant tusks, it was impossible to say where the tusks came from. Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.
Several years ago, scientists led by Dr. Samuel Wasser figured out a new way to solve the problem. Using elephant waste, they built a list of the DNA of almost all elephants in Africa.
Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from. This information can trigger quick action in the country where the animals were killed. It can also help the police discover patterns in the ways the illegal hunters and traffickers work.
Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.
12. Why do scientists use DNA information from elephants
A. To improve the health of elephant tusks.
B. To keep track of the illegal dealers.
C. To protect elephants against natural disasters.
D. To research into elephants’ habits.
13. What may make illegally hunted elephant tusks hard to find
A. The way they are transported.
B. The lack of tracking technology.
C. The difficulty in catching criminals.
D. The various tricks of illegal hunters.
14. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. start with B. result from C. hold back D. lead to
15. Which of the following reflects Dr. Wasser’s opinion about the DNA method
A. It can make all criminals have nowhere to hide.
B. It can scare away potential illegal hunters.
C. It can be widely used in wildlife protection.
D. It can make elephant tusk sales unprofitable.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了科学家改进了DNA方法，使之能够与象牙匹配，并帮助追踪贩卖象牙的罪犯。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.(现在科学家们已经改进了DNA方法，使他们能够匹配象牙，并帮助追踪贩卖象牙的罪犯)”可知，科学家使用大象的DNA信息是为了追踪那些非法交易象牙的人。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.(象牙贩子通常狡猾地将它们藏在其他货物的运输中。这意味着被非法猎杀而来的象牙只有10%被发现)”可知，非法猎取的象牙以隐蔽的方式进行运输，使其很难被发现。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from.(现在，当在另一个国家的船只上发现象牙时，DNA测试可以显示它们来自哪里)”可知，DNA测试可以显示象牙来自哪里。由此可推知，划线词所在句意为：这些信息可以在动物被杀的国家引发迅速的行动，trigger意为“引发，促使”，故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.(Wasser博士希望，利用大象的DNA信息追踪非法猎杀野生动物的方法，将很快被采用，以帮助保护其他种类的动物，并瓦解更多的犯罪团伙)”可知，Wasser博士认为DNA测试的方法可以广泛应用于野生动物保护。故选C项。

(所以走出去，为别人做一些事情，即使是很小的事情（例如，为别人开门，为别人的饮料买单，对陌生人微笑和打招呼等等），看看你的一天是如何变化的)”建议去为他人做一些善事，因此G项“Oftentimes when we do things for other people, we are the ones that benefit.

47. 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 my childhood, my teacher Mrs. Hunter announced that our class would complete a pen-friend project. We would write letters to children in some African countries to make friends with them. So all of us needed to bring stationery (信纸) to school the next day.
Finding some beautiful stationery which was designed with lovely cartoon characters, such as Minnie Mouse and Snow White in the store, I asked my mother to buy it for me. At the store, we learned that a pack of ten pieces of such stationery cost close to seven dollars.
“You’ll have to use common paper,” my mother said. Then, she bought a pack of cheap common paper for me. Obviously, there weren’t any cartoon characters on the paper, so I was upset and disappointed. At that time, I didn’t know my mother was facing some financial (财政的) problems and was trying hard to support the family.
That night, my mother, a lover of schedules, sent me to the bed at the usual time of 9：30. But then instead of going to bed as she normally did, she remained in the living room. When I didn’t hear the voice of a news host through the TV, I wondered what exactly kept my mother up past her bedtime. Walking up to her I found she bent beneath our single lamp, sketching (画素描). When I asked what she was drawing, my mother just covered the page with her arms and ordered me to return to my bed. A week ago, I had begged her for a new box of crayons and she refused. Now I wanted beautiful stationery and she refused again. That night, I lay in bed looking at the moon, believing I was the unluckiest girl in the world.
The next morning, my mother’s eyes were black-ringed, and she looked so tired while preparing the breakfast of oatmeal (燕麦糊) in the kitchen. “Drink it before school,” she said, pointing at the food.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
“I don’t want any,” I said unhappily, still upset she didn’t buy beautiful stationery for me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
“Mom, the cartoon characters are so beautiful”I said, with a smile.“Thank you.”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
“I don’t want any, “I sad unhappily, still upset she didn’t buy beautiful stationery for me. She carried two bowls of oatmeal to the table, “I suppose you don’t want any of the common stationery, either,” a faint smile flashing across her lips. Hearing her words, I immediately noticed a pack of paper next to my bowl. I stepped closer to the table and picked it up without delay, surprisingly seeing other pretty cartoon characters on every piece of paper. Only then did I realize Mom had stayed up to make the drawing.
Paragraph 2:
“Mom, the cartoon characters are so beautiful,” I said with a smile, “Thank you.” Looking at her black-ringed and tired eyes, I felt a great sense of guilt welling up my heart at the thought of my attitude to my mother, tears blurring my eyes. I held the beautiful stationery and walked to my mother, hugging her tightly, “I’m so sorry and thank you for what you have done for me. I am the luckiest girl in the world.” Hearing this, my mother smiled with relief, patting my back gently.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小时候，作者完成一个笔友项目，他们要写信给一些非洲国家的孩子，和他们交朋友，作者想要一些漂亮的信纸，上面有可爱的卡通人物，但是作者的妈妈只给她买了一包便宜的普通纸，作者为此不开心，但妈妈却熬夜给信纸画上卡通人物的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容““我不想要，”我不高兴地说，仍然为她没有给我买漂亮的文具而难过。”可知，第一段可描写作者仍然为没有买漂亮的信纸而不高兴，但是发现每张纸上画商了其他漂亮的卡通人物。
②由第二段首句内容““妈妈，这些卡通人物真漂亮，”我笑着说，“谢谢你。””可知，第二段可描写作者意识到妈妈熬夜画了这些画后，倍感愧疚，对妈妈表达感谢。
2.续写线索：仍然不开心——发现了普通纸上画有卡通人物——意识到妈妈是熬夜画的——很愧疚——表达感谢

It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.
I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.
My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.
4. Which word can best describe the author’s daughter
A. Wealthy. B. Thoughtful. C. Easy-going. D. Humorous.
5. Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet
A. It cost too much. B. It was looking dirty.
C. There was not enough room for his new coat. D. It was not sent to someone in need.
6 What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old
A. Telling his daughter. B. Buying a new one soon.
C. Donating it to charity. D. Sending something else to charity.
7. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Giving fills our wants. B. Love is the key to joy.
C. The more you give, the more you lose. D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants.
C
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact(互动) online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.
However, many people have concerns about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Recently researchers have found that too much time on social media may have some negative effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the mere time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.
There are a number of reasons for this. When watching social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading. For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feeling depressed. They might think their lives are worse in comparison. Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying”(网络欺凌) where people become victims of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.
The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realize that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.
8. What effect does social media have according to the recent research
A. It enables people to make more friends on the Internet.
B It increases unhappiness for people using it too much.
C. It makes people have much more wonderful lives.
D. It helps people to have a better knowledge of the world
9. Why are people worried when they post positive stories
A. They fear others mislead their posts.
B. They think others have happier lives.
C. They fear they may be cyber bullied by others.
D. They fear others have no interest in the stories.
10. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By giving causes. B. By listing figures.
C. By making comparison. D. By describing process.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. Persuading people to disconnect from the Internet.
B. Introducing the convenience social media creates.
C. Describing the threats caused by social media.
D. Telling us to balance online and offline lives.

Every year, as many as 50, 000 elephants in Africa are killed illegally for their tusks (象牙). Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.
Even though it’s against the law, African elephants have long been killed by criminals for their tusks. Other people, called “traffickers”, buy the tusks and transport them out of the country on a ship. The traffickers re-sell the tusks for even more money, usually in Asia. Elephant tusks can sell for about $1, 000 a kilogram.
In the past, it was hard to catch the criminals. Usually by the time the dead animals were found, the illegal hunters had been far away. And when traffickers were caught with elephant tusks, it was impossible to say where the tusks came from. Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.
Several years ago, scientists led by Dr. Samuel Wasser figured out a new way to solve the problem. Using elephant waste, they built a list of the DNA of almost all elephants in Africa.
Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from. This information can trigger quick action in the country where the animals were killed. It can also help the police discover patterns in the ways the illegal hunters and traffickers work.
Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.
12. Why do scientists use DNA information from elephants
A. To improve the health of elephant tusks.
B. To keep track of the illegal dealers.
C. To protect elephants against natural disasters.
D. To research into elephants’ habits.
13. What may make illegally hunted elephant tusks hard to find
A. The way they are transported.
B. The lack of tracking technology.
C. The difficulty in catching criminals.
D. The various tricks of illegal hunters.
14. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. start with B. result from C. hold back D. lead to
15. Which of the following reflects Dr. Wasser’s opinion about the DNA method
A. It can make all criminals have nowhere to hide.
B. It can scare away potential illegal hunters.

47. 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 my childhood my teacher Mrs. Hunter announced that our class would complete a pen-friend project. We would write letters to children in some African countries to make friends with them. So all of us needed to bring stationery (信纸) to school the next day.
Finding some beautiful stationery which was designed with lovely cartoon characters, such as Minnie Mouse and Snow White in the store, I asked my mother to buy it for me. At the store, we learned that a pack of ten pieces of such stationery cost close to seven dollars.
“You’ll have to use common paper,” my mother said. Then, she bought a pack of cheap common paper for me. Obviously, there weren’t any cartoon characters on the paper, so I was upset and disappointed. At that time, I didn’t know my mother was facing some financial (财政的) problems and was trying hard to support the family.
That night, my mother, a lover of schedules, sent me to the bed at the usual time of 9：30. But then instead of going to bed as she normally did, she remained in the living room. When I didn’t hear the voice of a news host through the TV, I wondered what exactly kept my mother up past her bedtime. Walking up to her I found she bent beneath our single lamp, sketching (画素描). When I asked what she was drawing, my mother just covered the page with her arms and ordered me to return to my bed. A week ago, I had begged her for a new box of crayons and she refused. Now I wanted beautiful stationery and she refused again. That night, I lay in bed looking at the moon, believing I was the unluckiest girl in the world.
The next morning, my mother’s eyes were black-ringed, and she looked so tired while preparing the breakfast of oatmeal (燕麦糊) in the kitchen. “Drink it before school,” she said, pointing at the food.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
“I don’t want any,” I said unhappily, still upset she didn’t buy beautiful stationery for me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
“Mom, the cartoon characters are so beautiful”I said, with a smile.“Thank you.”
