A fashion blogger in her late 70s proved that fashion is for all ages as she showcased different styles and outfits on social media.
For Candace Leslie Cima, aging is inescapable but it shouldn’t keep older people in a box, especially when it comes to beauty and fashion. That she’s old doesn’t mean she can’t wear beautiful and stylish clothes. This is what Cima always tells people when they question her fashion statement.
Cima’s journey to challenging aging began when she created her social media account at 72. She wanted to know what influencers were like and discovered there weren’t many of them in her age group. This inspired her to create her own fashion blog and upload fashion videos on social media platforms.
Cima grew her social media presence through her ongoing documentation called “Life in My 70s”. Her videos became famous on the Internet and gained millions of views. One of her most popular videos had 7.5 million views while the other one had 5.6 million views.
A lot of her viewers were amazed by her creativity in mixing and matching different fashion pieces. Others admired her for looking really good at her age and wearing whatever she wanted. One of the commenters wrote, “If I’m not like this when I am older, then I don’t ever want to be 75.”
Apart from uploading fashion videos, Cima is also devoted to her fashion blog where she writes about fashion and aging. Her blog’s goal is to inspire women from all walks of life and to remind them that aging is a natural but beautiful process that no one should be scared of. She wants to inspire women to accept these changes and look at them positively.
“The only way that view is going to change is that we as older women show them that aging is a gift, something to be accepted, value d and shared,” the fashion blogger wrote.
24. Which of the following reflects Cima’s opinion on aging
A. It keeps older people in a box.
B. It does not affect the pursuit of beauty.
C. It means no beautiful and stylish clothes.
D. It limits the fashion choices of the elderly.
25. Why did the author mention Cima’s videos
A. To show her popularity. B. To inspire others to follow her.
C. To prove her viewpoints. D. To recommend them to readers.
26. What suggestions does Cima give to women
A. Accepting what you are like. B. Reviewing your way of life.
C. Doing whatever you want to. D. Being positive about getting old.
27. What can we learn from Cima’s story
A. Getting old doesn’t mean you have to accept it.
B. No one can disappoint you except yourself.
C. Every stage of life can be beautiful and brilliant.
D. We must seek victory in defeat and hope in despair.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
28. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water.
D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
30. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen.
31. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The importance of wildlife protection.
B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C. The purpose to show the handbag.
D. The harm IWT caused.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在伦敦动物园的爬行动物馆举办了这个展览，展示用鳄鱼皮做的手提包，以引起游客对非法野生动物贸易对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade. (在过去的75年里，超过80%的暹罗鳄已经消失。许多像这只这样的暹罗鳄，因为它们的皮被非法野生动物贸易的一部分而被猎杀)”可知，牌子上说这个手提包是用来游泳的，因为它是用鳄鱼皮做的。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. (暹罗鳄原产于东南亚部分地区，是极度濒危的动物，在野外几乎已经灭绝。由于狩猎和栖息地的丧失，它们现在近99%的原始活动范围内消失了)”可知，本段主要讲述的是使暹罗鳄濒临灭绝的原因。故选D。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线处“The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was (在动物园展出的那个特别的手提包)”以及“at a UK airport (在英国机场)”可知，这只在动物园展出的手提包是在英国机场查封的，划线处和A项：Seized(逮住，查封)含义接近。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. (我们在伦敦动物园的爬行动物馆举办了这个展览，以引起游客对非法野生动物贸易(IWT)对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注)”可知，塔普利的话旨在引起游客对非法野生动物贸易对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注。由此可知，他的意思就是展示手提包的目的上。故选C。

Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves (牵涉) a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development, “said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child. “
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebee Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way, “said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity, “Brier concluded.
32. Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A. To test their guess. B. To check their health.
C. To offer alternative explanation. D. To record their mental conditions.
33. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By doing survey on teachers.
B. By eliminating other factors.
C. By analyzing and comparing data.
D. By organizing physical activities.
34. What does Brier think of the results
A. They have broad prospect.
B. They need further testing.
C. They are beyond his imagination.
D. They are in line with his expectation.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Kids will benefit from organized sport
B. Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust
C. Organized sport promotes emotional conditions
D. School education is critical for child development
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. 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结果，该研究表明小时候参加有组织的体育活动的孩子在12岁时出现情绪问题的可能性较小。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.(研究人员对一组刚出生的孩子进行了长期跟踪调查，以研究从6岁到10岁持续参加有组织的体育运动是否会降低他们在12岁时出现情绪困扰、焦虑、害羞和社交退缩的风险。他们的目标是通过排除可能提供另一种解释的已有儿童或家庭条件，尽可能严格地检验这个问题。)”可知，研究人员对一组刚出生的孩子进行了长期跟踪调查是为了检测研究人员的猜想，也就是从6岁到10岁持续参加有组织的体育运动是否会降低他们在12岁时出现情绪困扰、焦虑、害羞和社交退缩的风险。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebee Longitudinal Study of Child Development.

At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school. (为了做到这一点，Brier和他的团队检查了1997年或1998年出生的一组儿童的数据，这些儿童是魁北克儿童发展纵向研究的一部分。从6岁到10岁，母亲们报告了她们的孩子是否参加了有组织的体育活动。12岁时，老师报告了孩子们在学校的情绪困扰、焦虑、害羞和社交退缩的程度。)”可知，研究人员通过分析和比较研究数据从而得出结论。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way,” said Brier.( Brier说：“研究结果显示，在6岁至10岁期间经常参加体育锻炼的孩子在12岁时出现这些问题的几率比那些不经常参加体育锻炼的同龄人要少。”)”可知，Brier认为这些结果和最初的猜测是一致的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段““Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brier concluded.(“让孩子们积极参与有组织的体育运动似乎能促进全球发展。这种参与似乎在社会情感层面上是有益的，而不仅仅是因为身体上的好处。在小学和高中之间的关键阶段，情绪上不那么痛苦对孩子来说是无价的好处，因为他们即将进入一个更大的世界，面临更大的学术挑战。这项研究支持了目前父母鼓励孩子参与体育活动的指导方针。”Brier总结说。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是坚持有组织的运动可以帮助孩子适应各种变化。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了“Pin the Tail on the Donkey”这个游戏，包括需要的东西和玩游戏的步骤。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Have you heard of the game ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’ (你听说过‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’这个游戏吗？)”可知，空处应是介绍这个游戏，D项“这是一种西方游戏，主要用于孩子们的聚会”符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Generally, you need a large picture of a donkey without a tail and pictures of the donkey’s tail. You’ll also need a blindfold. Besides, you need to prepare a pin for each tail so that kids can attach the tails to the donkey.(一般来说，你需要一张没有尾巴的驴的大照片和驴尾巴的照片。你还需要一个眼罩。此外，你需要为每条尾巴准备一个别针，这样孩子们就可以把尾巴固定在驴身上)”可知，本段主要讲述玩游戏需要准备的东西，E项“要玩这个游戏，你需要准备特定的物品”符合语境，为本段主题句，故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“The area had better be flat, without objects like big stones on the ground.(这个地方最好是平坦的，地上不能有大石头之类的东西)”提到玩游戏的场地最好平坦、没有石头，B项“否则，孩子们可能会摔倒受伤”说明上文的原因，符合语境，故选B。
【39题详解】
根据上文“One at a time, blindfold the kid. hand him the tail you’ve labeled for him, and turn him slowly around at the starting point.(把你标记好的尾巴递给他，在起点慢慢地把他转过来)”和下文“All other players should keep out of the blindfolded kid’s way as he makes his way to the wall.(当这个蒙着眼睛的孩子向墙走去时，所有其他的球员都应该离他远点)”可知，上文提到把孩子转过来，下文提到这个孩子向墙的方向走去，故空处是说给孩子指明墙的方向，G项“把他准确地指向墙上驴的照片，然后退后一步”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
上文“The kid should walk with his arms outstretched and place the tail as soon as he touches the wall.(孩子走路时应该张开双臂，一碰到墙就把尾巴放好)”提到孩子碰到墙就把尾巴放好，结合下文“Then gather everyone to examine the picture and identify the winner — the player who has made the best attempt to pin the tail on the donkey in the proper position.(然后召集所有人来检查这张照片，并确定谁是获胜者——谁在适当的位置上试了最大的努力把尾巴钉在驴身上)”可知，孩子把尾巴放在墙上就完成了游戏，等所有孩子都这样完成了游戏再把所有人聚在一起看看谁是获胜者，F项“重复这个过程，直到所有的孩子都轮流玩游戏”符合上下文逻辑关系，故选F。

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。
A co-worker invited my husband and me to his son’s wedding reception. We’d worked in the same office with the gentleman for several years. Although neither of us had met his son, we felt like we knew him from listening to his dad talk about him so often.
We arrived at the dinner center and walked into a gorgeously decorated ballroom. I glanced around for fellow co-workers, hoping they’d saved us a seat, but didn’t recognize a soul. Scanning the room again, I zeroed in on the gift table and a small white box for wedding cards. I walked over and put my envelope into the box before joining my husband at the open bar to enjoy a big meal.
The wedding party danced in, and the happy couple greeted guests as they made their way to the head table filled with beautiful flowers. The bride groom shook hands with us and thanked us for sharing their special day. My husband remarked, “You sure look like your dad.” I nodded in agreement and added, “Same personality, too.” The bride groom smiled knowingly. “That’s what they all say.”
We found two seats at an empty table and then joined the long buffet (自助餐) line that stretched past an open doorway. I looked up just as a woman from our office and her husband walked by. Stepping out of line, I stretched my neck and watched them enter the ballroom down the hall. In a slight panic, I told my husband that we were at the wrong reception and we had to go. He asked, “What about the card ”
We shyly made our way to the gift table. My eyes looked left and right, waiting for nobody coming close. Hands shaking, I tried to lift the metal clasp (搭扣) on the small box. It wouldn’t move. I leaned in closer and knocked over a tall, thin box covered with bright silver paper, causing it to turn over forward. From out of nowhere, a man appeared by my side and caught the present before it hit the floor.

【答案】参考范文：
He asked in a cold voice, “What can I do for you ” That’s it! When all else fails, tell the truth. Faster than a magician whipping a rabbit out of a hat, I pulled the invitation from my purse. By the time I finished explaining that I’d already placed my card in the box before I realized that we were at the wrong reception, the man’s icy stare had slowly melted. He opened the lid and smiled, “My son and his wife will get a kick out of this.”
After what seemed like forever, I found the envelope. Heat spread from my neck to my cheeks as I dug through the pile looking for the envelope and held it up for inspection. Then I rushed over to join my partner-in-crime who had conveniently hidden his six-foot-five body behind a big and thick post. I grabbed his hand and said, “Come on, Clyde. Let’s make our escape.” He said, “Right behind you. I just hope we make it in time for the main course downstair.”

A fashion blogger in her late 70s proved that fashion is for all ages as she showcased different styles and outfits on social media.
For Candace Leslie Cima, aging is inescapable but it shouldn’t keep older people in a box, especially when it comes to beauty and fashion. That she’s old doesn’t mean she can’t wear beautiful and stylish clothes. This is what Cima always tells people when they question her fashion statement.
Cima’s journey to challenging aging began when she created her social media account at 72. She wanted to know what influencers were like and discovered there weren’t many of them in her age group. This inspired her to create her own fashion blog and upload fashion videos on social media platforms.
Cima grew her social media presence through her ongoing documentation called “Life in My 70s”. Her videos became famous on the Internet and gained millions of views. One of her most popular videos had 7.5 million views while the other one had 5.6 million views.
A lot of her viewers were amazed by her creativity in mixing and matching different fashion pieces. Others admired her for looking really good at her age and wearing whatever she wanted. One of the commenters wrote, “If I’m not like this when I am older, then I don’t ever want to be 75.”
Apart from uploading fashion videos, Cima is also devoted to her fashion blog where she writes about fashion and aging. Her blog’s goal is to inspire women from all walks of life and to remind them that aging is a natural but beautiful process that no one should be scared of. She wants to inspire women to accept these changes and look at them positively.
“The only way that view is going to change is that we as older women show them that aging is a gift, something to be accepted, value d and shared,” the fashion blogger wrote.
24. Which of the following reflects Cima’s opinion on aging
A. It keeps older people in a box.
B. It does not affect the pursuit of beauty.
C. It means no beautiful and stylish clothes.
D. It limits the fashion choices of the elderly.
25. Why did the author mention Cima’s videos
A. To show her popularity. B. To inspire others to follow her.
C. To prove her viewpoints. D. To recommend them to readers.
26. What suggestions does Cima give to women

Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
28. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water.
D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
30. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen.
31. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The importance of wildlife protection.
B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C. The purpose to show the handbag.
D. The harm IWT caused.
D
Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves (牵涉) a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development, “said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child. “
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebee Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way, “said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity, “Brier concluded.
32. Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A. To test their guess. B. To check their health.
C. To offer alternative explanation. D. To record their mental conditions.
33. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By doing survey on teachers.
B. By eliminating other factors.
C. By analyzing and comparing data.
D. By organizing physical activities.
34. What does Brier think of the results
A. They have broad prospect.
B. They need further testing.
C. They are beyond his imagination.
D. They are in line with his expectation.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Kids will benefit from organized sport
B. Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust
C. Organized sport promotes emotional conditions
D. School education is critical for child development

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。
A co-worker invited my husband and me to his son’s wedding reception. We’d worked in the same office with the gentleman for several years. Although neither of us had met his son, we felt like we knew him from listening to his dad talk about him so often.
We arrived at the dinner center and walked into a gorgeously decorated ballroom. I glanced around for fellow co-workers, hoping they’d saved us a seat, but didn’t recognize a soul. Scanning the room again, I zeroed in on the gift table and a small white box for wedding cards. I walked over and put my envelope into the box before joining my husband at the open bar to enjoy a big meal.
The wedding party danced in, and the happy couple greeted guests as they made their way to the head table filled with beautiful flowers. The bride groom shook hands with us and thanked us for sharing their special day. My husband remarked, “You sure look like your dad.” I nodded in agreement and added, “Same personality, too.” The bride groom smiled knowingly. “That’s what they all say.”
We found two seats at an empty table and then joined the long buffet (自助餐) line that stretched past an open doorway. I looked up just as a woman from our office and her husband walked by. Stepping out of line, I stretched my neck and watched them enter the ballroom down the hall. In a slight panic, I told my husband that we were at the wrong reception and we had to go. He asked, “What about the card ”
We shyly made our way to the gift table. My eyes looked left and right, waiting for nobody coming close. Hands shaking, I tried to lift the metal clasp (搭扣) on the small box. It wouldn’t move. I leaned in closer and knocked over a tall, thin box covered with bright silver paper, causing it to turn over forward. From out of nowhere, a man appeared by my side and caught the present before it hit the floor.

1. 续写词数应为150左右;
