W: I understand.
M: Or you can have a vote on the issue with your family if you really can’t decide.
W: I guess I should respect my son’s opinion and talk to him. Thanks, Leo.

【答案】18. B 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man-made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year, but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the 1860s. Everybody was excited by this new material because it was cheap. Poor workers were able to buy clothes made of plastic. This kind of clothes were uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Moreover, it was easy to dry. Poor mothers, who had not been able to afford toys for their children, were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious disadvantage. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily, and when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What’s worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down so it causes serious pollution. We now use the term “white pollution” to refer to plastic pollution.

And traditional street sellers still use their hands to shave ice in the summer. They then add syrup(糖浆) to the ice in flavors like green tea, strawberries, grapes and melons. You can get it in the places such as restaurants, coffee shops and soon.
Raspado, Mexico
While snow cones are made using much sweet syrup, rasp a dos have real fruits or fresh fruit juice. The treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts, which sell a range of fruit-based shaved ice. Sellers make a mixture of a raspado and a milkshake called “eskimo” using milk, condensed milk, fresh seasonal fruit, sugar, vanilla and ice.
Dondurma, Türk iye
Is there an ice cream that doesn’t melt(融化) Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma is. Locals also call it Maras dondurma, which is believed to come from the city and region of Maras. Dondurma is made with goat milk, sugar, mastic and salep. The Turkish usually buy their dondurma from streets.
Frozen Custard, US
Frozen custard is the typical American ice cream which is a mixture of milk, cream, sugar and eggs. It is dense because it’s made in a machine that doesn’t let air into it. Americans usually have a choice between vanilla or chocolate. They can also go for a mixture of the two.

Matthew has retired. He used to be working in a sawmill (锯木厂). Cutting and piling wood for 8 hours a day had caused his fingers to be injured and bleed all year round. Outside his job, he enjoyed watching baseball games and he was glad that he had more time for it after he retired. In Matthew’s eyes, baseball was a game including details, mental sharpness, and great patience, and he thought instructing young men needed the same abilities.
There were boys on the high school baseball team playing in the neighborhood and Matthew was their regular visitor. Whether on summer evenings under the lights or in the mid-afternoon sun, he was always the one to appear on time. In the beginning, he simply sat and watched them. After a good play, Matthew would give them a praising sign, and a mistake would earn his smile, which meant, “You’ll get another chance!” He communicated with the boys in such a way.
Gradually, the boys got used to Matthew’s presence and became familiar with him. They were curious about his tough hands. He talked about his adventures of working in the forest. They were long and inspiring stories, all about friendship, helping each other, and remaining hopeful even though experiencing hardship, and also about how a boy grew into a man.
Matthew would take time to show them some basic skills to some slow learners and took the trouble to repeat each detail until the players were skillful. What Matthew taught was deeply rooted in the boys’hearts and they could play wonderfully in the races.
Time flew. Matthew thought he was too old to teach them anything. It was time for him to leave. However, the boys told Matthew that his fighting spirit had long been part of their team. Nearly everyone on the team learned to expect a little more from themselves as long as Matthew was there.
24. What did Matthew think of the baseball game
A. It took plenty of patience. B. It needed a lot of strength.
C. It must be based on interest. D. It called for sharp movements.
25. How did Matthew exchange with the boys at first

A. He developed the children’s love for the forests.
B. He taught them the skills of making good friends.
C. He helped them keep positive during their growth.
D. He made them learn to search for new adventures.
27. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Matthew’s skills weren’t recognized by the boys.

C. The boys thought Matthew became less patient later.
D. The boys learned more baseball skills from Matthew.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self- confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others, ”one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
28. What is the purpose of praise groups
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
29. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
30. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A. A way of making new friends. B. A kind of medicine.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
31. What is the author’s attitude to praise groups
A. Objective B. Critical.
C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了一种叫作“夸夸群”的交流形式在中国社交媒体上流行起来。这些聊天群提供了一个平台， 让人们能够得到赞美和鼓励。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.(这些聊天群为人们提供了一个接受赞美和鼓励的平台，而这些在日常生活中往往是缺乏的)”和第四段第一句“Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. (夸夸群的出现，是中国人寻求和接受日常生活中可能缺乏的赞美和鼓励的一种方式)”可知，夸夸群旨在给人们带来希望和快乐。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.(看到这些赞美，孟忍不住笑了，并表示希望以后也能发布这样高质量的赞美)”可推知，Meng对夸夸群的服务是满意的。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Those who support the groups, see them as an”以及后文“to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet”可知，那些支持 praise groups的人认为它们是一种药物，可以消除与互联网上发生的事情相关联的极度不好的情绪。故划线词意思是“一种药”。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.(但是人生的旅程是漫长的，当没有人提供帮助的时候，我们只能依靠自己来面对一些意想不到的情况)”可知，作者对夸夸群的态度既没有反对，也没有支持，只是客观地做了评价。故选A。

When Gayle Macdonald reached the summit (顶峰) in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range earlier this year, she didn’t just stop and take in the moment. Instead, she did what a great many people would do—she looked for the best spot to take a selfie (自拍) for her social media accounts. Gayle even admitted that she moved dangerously close to the edge while doing so. It was after that moment that she decided to quit social media.
“I was like ‘this has got to stop,’ ” recalls Gayle. “Taking a photo used to be the first thing I thought about when I got out of the car. Thinking all the time about creating content and worrying about what to say, were taking up too much head space and getting me down.”
Social media can be addictive for many reasons, the main one being that it is a form of escapism, especially for the younger generation. It’s simply a way of connecting without connection, and it’s a 24/7 comfort blanket of company for many. For many of us, most of our time is spent on social media. One global study found that the average person spends 2 hours and 29 minutes per day on such apps and websites. While some people might think that this is a bad habit that they should cut down on, for others it’s an actual addiction that they need help to overcome.
Hilda Burke, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师), says there’s now more widespread awareness about how much time people are spending on social media. “This is now easily to figure up, as most phones show you the breakdown of how you’re spending your time online,” she says. “Seeing how it all adds up can serve as a powerful wake-up call.” She advises that people quitting social media should let all their friends know, so they don’t continue to try to contact you via the sites.
Burke welcomes the fact that more people are quitting social media. It’s likely that we’re eventually starting to realize the damage it can cause to our relationships, mental health and our experience of real-world moments.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By providing research results. B. By describing a process.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example.
33. What may Gayle think of her frequently updating posts on social media
A. Energy-consuming. B. Fashionable. C. Inspiring. D. Eye-catching.
34. Where can you find the reasons for teenagers’ addiction to social media
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Teenagers Are Addicted To Social Media
B. People Quit Using Social Media To Post Selfies
C. There Is Really More To Life Than Posting Selfies
D. Social Media Affects Physical And Mental Health
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讨论了社交媒体对人们的影响以及如何戒掉社交媒体。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When Gayle Macdonald reached the summit (顶峰) in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range earlier this year, she didn’t just stop and take in the moment.

Gayle even admitted that she moved dangerously close to the edge while doing so. It was after that moment that she decided to quit social media. (今年早些时候，当Gayle Macdonald到达西班牙内华达山脉的顶峰时，她并没有停下来享受这一刻。相反，她做了很多人都会做的事——为自己的社交媒体账号找一个最好的自拍地点。Gayle甚至承认，在这样做的时候，她很危险地靠近了悬崖边缘。就在那一刻之后，她决定退出社交媒体。)”以及下文内容可知，文章举例来引出本文的主题，即社交媒体让人上瘾，人们需要克服对社交媒体的上瘾。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I was like ‘this has got to stop,’ ” recalls Gayle. “Taking a photo used to be the first thing I thought about when I got out of the car. Thinking all the time about creating content and worrying about what to say, were taking up too much head space and getting me down.” (Gayle回忆道：“我当时想，‘这一切必须停止。’过去，我下车后想到的第一件事就是拍照。一直想着创作内容，担心该说什么，这些占据了我太多的头脑空间，让我很沮丧。”)”可知，Gayle认为自己频繁更新社交媒体上的帖子太浪费精力。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Social media can be addictive for many reasons, the main one being that it is a form of escapism, especially for the younger generation. (社交媒体让人上瘾的原因有很多，最主要的原因是它是一种逃避现实的方式，尤其是对年轻一代来说。)”可知，文章第三段分析了青少年对社交媒体上瘾的原因。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Burke welcomes the fact that more people are quitting social media. It’s likely that we’re eventually starting to realize the damage it can cause to our relationships, mental health and our experience of real-world moments. ( Burke对越来越多的人放弃社交媒体表示欢迎。很可能我们最终开始意识到它会对我们的人际关系、心理健康和现实世界的体验造成伤害。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是社交媒体会消耗人们的精力，容易让人上瘾，我们要克服对社交媒体的依赖，多发现生活中身边的事情。故选C。

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。
Sometimes an act of kindness can mean a lot in life.
Three years ago I worked for a few weeks as a doctor in a new dental clinic (牙科诊所) at Victor Harbor, to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was a rush driving to the new clinic and getting used to the clinical environment.
As it was all new to me, I took off my gold rings: my wedding ring, and one that was an anniversary (周年纪念日) gift from my husband. I put them in a tissue (纸巾) and placed them beside my computer. During my lunch break, I noticed the tissue and thought that it did not look very clean and threw it into the rubbish bin. I went about my work and my day went well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive. At the very first day at the clinic, I did a good job, busy but fruitful. So I felt more than proud. When it was time to get off work, I changed my clothes and went out of the clinic, thinking nothing of the ring.
Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that my rings were missing. I felt the heat in my body rise, my face burning red. I felt sick to my stomach. I spent an hour or so making calls, trying to find my rings. The first people I called were my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few phone numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic, and she told me that the bins had already been collected. I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my rings. It mattered much to me and now as if I lost a precious thing and my feelings were beyond words.
注意：

But about two hours later, I received an amazing phone call.

Three days later, I finally got a chance to thank the cleaner face to face.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
But about two hours later, I received an amazing phone call. The cleaner had gone through the bins and found my rings! I was so thankful to her, someone who had taken the trouble to go through the bins—which is not a pleasant task—to find my priceless ring. I worked at that clinic the following day, so I bought chocolates to thank this wonderful person. On arriving the clinic, my manager gave the ring to me. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet the cleaner as she was at work elsewhere that day.
Three days later, I finally got a chance to thank the cleaner face to face. After a tiring day, I was about to leave as usual when I met a cleaner by accident, who came to collect the bins at the clinic. With much curiosity, I quickly came up to her, and asked whether she was the cleaner who had found my rings. The cleaner, wearing dirty overalls, stood in front of me and said yes. Excited and relieved, I expressed my deep gratitude to her again and again. She just told me it was not a big deal. Finally, she left, wearing a bright smile on her face. And that smile would stay in my memory forever.

Raspado, Mexico
While snow cones are made using much sweet syrup, rasp a dos have real fruits or fresh fruit juice.

Frozen Custard, US
Frozen custard is the typical American ice cream which is a mixture of milk, cream, sugar and eggs. It is dense because it’s made in a machine that doesn’t let air into it. Americans usually have a choice between vanilla or chocolate. They can also go for a mixture of the two.

Matthew has retired. He used to be working in a sawmill (锯木厂). Cutting and piling wood for 8 hours a day had caused his fingers to be injured and bleed all year round.

In Matthew’s eyes, baseball was a game including details, mental sharpness, and great patience, and he thought instructing young men needed the same abilities.
There were boys on the high school baseball team playing in the neighborhood and Matthew was their regular visitor. Whether on summer evenings under the lights or in the mid-afternoon sun, he was always the one to appear on time. In the beginning, he simply sat and watched them. After a good play, Matthew would give them a praising sign, and a mistake would earn his smile, which meant, “You’ll get another chance!” He communicated with the boys in such a way.
Gradually, the boys got used to Matthew’s presence and became familiar with him. They were curious about his tough hands. He talked about his adventures of working in the forest. They were long and inspiring stories, all about friendship, helping each other, and remaining hopeful even though experiencing hardship, and also about how a boy grew into a man.
Matthew would take time to show them some basic skills to some slow learners and took the trouble to repeat each detail until the players were skillful. What Matthew taught was deeply rooted in the boys’hearts and they could play wonderfully in the races.

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self- confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others, ”one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.

When Gayle Macdonald reached the summit (顶峰) in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range earlier this year, she didn’t just stop and take in the moment. Instead, she did what a great many people would do—she looked for the best spot to take a selfie (自拍) for her social media accounts. Gayle even admitted that she moved dangerously close to the edge while doing so. It was after that moment that she decided to quit social media.
“I was like ‘this has got to stop,’ ” recalls Gayle. “Taking a photo used to be the first thing I thought about when I got out of the car. Thinking all the time about creating content and worrying about what to say, were taking up too much head space and getting me down.”
Social media can be addictive for many reasons, the main one being that it is a form of escapism, especially for the younger generation. It’s simply a way of connecting without connection, and it’s a 24/7 comfort blanket of company for many. For many of us, most of our time is spent on social media. One global study found that the average person spends 2 hours and 29 minutes per day on such apps and websites. While some people might think that this is a bad habit that they should cut down on, for others it’s an actual addiction that they need help to overcome.
Hilda Burke, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师), says there’s now more widespread awareness about how much time people are spending on social media. “This is now easily to figure up, as most phones show you the breakdown of how you’re spending your time online,” she says. “Seeing how it all adds up can serve as a powerful wake-up call.” She advises that people quitting social media should let all their friends know, so they don’t continue to try to contact you via the sites.
Burke welcomes the fact that more people are quitting social media. It’s likely that we’re eventually starting to realize the damage it can cause to our relationships, mental health and our experience of real-world moments.

34. Where can you find the reasons for teenagers’ addiction to social media
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Teenagers Are Addicted To Social Media
B. People Quit Using Social Media To Post Selfies
C. There Is Really More To Life Than Posting Selfies
D. Social Media Affects Physical And Mental Health

Sometimes an act of kindness can mean a lot in life.
Three years ago I worked for a few weeks as a doctor in a new dental clinic (牙科诊所) at Victor Harbor, to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was a rush driving to the new clinic and getting used to the clinical environment.
As it was all new to me, I took off my gold rings: my wedding ring, and one that was an anniversary (周年纪念日) gift from my husband. I put them in a tissue (纸巾) and placed them beside my computer. During my lunch break, I noticed the tissue and thought that it did not look very clean and threw it into the rubbish bin. I went about my work and my day went well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive. At the very first day at the clinic, I did a good job, busy but fruitful. So I felt more than proud. When it was time to get off work, I changed my clothes and went out of the clinic, thinking nothing of the ring.
Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that my rings were missing. I felt the heat in my body rise, my face burning red. I felt sick to my stomach. I spent an hour or so making calls, trying to find my rings. The first people I called were my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few phone numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic, and she told me that the bins had already been collected. I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my rings. It mattered much to me and now as if I lost a precious thing and my feelings were beyond words.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

But about two hours later, I received an amazing phone call.
