Angela Guzman was born in Bogota, Colombia. At the age of 8, she moved to a tiny island in South Florida. The contrast was pretty vast. She didn’t speak any English, so she met with lots of challenges. At school, she would get stuck because she couldn’t understand or be understood. She thought, “Well, everyone understands a picture! Why don’t I start drawing to communicate ” That was what she did. She tried hard to create pictures to show her meanings exactly, and then she became known as the artist in the classroom, from third grade through her whole years of secondary schooling. Later she chose to study design in college.
When Angela began her work in a big company, she was tasked with designing emojis — the company’s very first. At first, she intended to refuse the task because she had no idea what the word meant and what emojis would be used for. Her mentor said that the emoji was an icon (图标), an image, or a type of illustration, sharing joy, surprise, anger, fear, sorrow, love and so on.
Angela then began to study microexpressions of humans and simplify or exaggerate (夸大) them in an illustrative manner. For example, the eyebrows make a V in anger and an upside down V in surprise. When she designed object emojis, she often turned to real-life items. She went to the party supply store, buying party poppers (派对烟花) to watch how the colorful paper pieces came out, and how light reflected off them. They were hard to capture, but Angela tried to make it.
Later, the tiny icons Angela and her mentor created were born and soon used by millions of people. When people praised Angela for her emoji design, she replied, “Actually, it’s an experience that teaches me a lot. One major thing is empathy (共鸣) for communities worldwide. I pay close attention to the symbolism of color and the cultural symbolism overall. I think the cultural questions are important. For example, how do we make sure that every culture, every accent, or every person that speaks to these devices feels included That was something I struggled with early on. This kind of thinking allowed my mind to be inclusive and mindful of everyone who would use the product.”
4. What can we learn about Angela’s childhood
A. She had a hidden talent for language.
B. She was always on the move with her family.
C. She often held views different from her classmates.
D. She was good at communicating through drawing.
5. How did Angela get inspiration for her emoji design
A. By diving into real life. B. By referring to some popular emojis.
C. By gaining related knowledge of emojis. D. By seeking help from experienced people.
6. What mainly led to Angela’s success according to Paragraph 4
A Her mentor guided her in every detail. B. Her design was inclusive of varied cultures.
C. She introduced color elements to her works. D. She had a thoughtful attitude towards the poor.
7. Which of the following can best describe Angela
A. Adventurous and kind. B. Devoted and creative.
C. Generous and positive. D. Humorous and considerate.
C
“The pursuit of perfection is the tenet (信条) of my. life.” Magee rushed home crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example in recent years. Perfectionism is a universal cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, and deliberate self-harm. The constant stress of competitiveness and comparison can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.
If a person is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.
Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”
8. Which of the following best explains “shattered” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Delighted. B. Frightened. C. Frustrated. D. Amused.
9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of Magee’s inferiority
A. The unhealthy comparisons. B. The A-plus confirmation.
C. The perfectionism phenomenon. D. The sense of competitiveness.
10. What may Magee agree with finally
A. It’s cool to be perfect. B. It’s fine to be imperfect.
C. It’s important to get an A-plus. D. It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Perfectionism is killing our health.
B. Perfectionism is a growing cultural phenomenon.
C. Accepting one’s imperfection is becoming a trend.
D. Imperfection is temporary and perfection is forever.
D
Diseases spread in many ways. An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But what if those surfaces could clean themselves
Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now they’ve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact. The idea is simple. Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the handle. In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.
Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17-year-old Sum Ming (Simon) Wong. He and schoolmate Kin Pong (Michael) Li, 18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs. After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) is known to kill bacteria. It’s already used in many products, from paints to desserts. To make their covering, the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder.
Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet (紫外线的) light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within. To make sure the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass. Each end fits into a bracket (托架). Inside one of the brackets is a strong light-emitting diode (LED). From it comes UV light. And here’s the interesting and praisable part: The power that makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.
The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13 (about 81 yuan) to build.
12. Why does the author mention the ways diseases spread at the beginning
A. To explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectively.
B. To demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectly.
C. To remind readers of the importance of cleaning their hands.
D. To help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading.
13. What can we know about Michael and Simon’s door handle
A. It is too expensive for ordinary families. B. It is powered by the movement.
C. It works better at night than daytime. D. It is made of a metal absorbing UV light.
14. How does the LED work during the process
A. By producing titanium dioxide to kill bacteria.
B. By supplying enough power to the handle system.
C. By directing the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface.
D. By providing UV light to help titanium dioxide work better.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Michael and Simon’s door handle system
A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Enthusiastic. D. Disappointed.

根据短文内容，从文后所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余。
We’ve all experienced peer pressure (同伴压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they’re just curious about trying something new. ____16____
It’s hard to be the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it
____17____ If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. ____18____ You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
____19____ You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. ____20____
A. Choose your friends carefully.
B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.
C. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.
D. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.
E. It may be because they were all born to be confident.
F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.
G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t like.

“Wow, these trees are so tall!” William shouted excitedly, while walking with his classmates in a forest near his school. They were on a field trip to the forest as part of a science lesson.
Over there, they met the forester（护林人）, Victor. When William learned Victor lived in a simple wooden house there for years, he laughed at him with his friends.
Then, they passed by an entrance to a cave. William wanted to explore inside the cave, but his teacher didn’t allow it. “I’ll come back here,” he thought. On the way back to school, he remembered the exact location of the cave.
The next day, William asked his four friends to the cave together. They told their parents they would go to the library and return home in the evening. None of the teenagers told their parents about their plan to visit the cave.
When the teenagers reached the cave, they left their school bags outside to reduce the burden. One by one, they entered the cave. Just when they took a few steps inside, some rocks from the cave wall fell and blocked the entrance.
“How are we going to get out now ” one of the teenagers Sarah shouted. William had an idea and said, “Maybe we can try digging through the fallen rocks with our hands to reach the entrance.” But realizing getting out of the cave only by their hands was impossible, they had great fear. The sun was about to go down. The teenagers started calling for help, but nobody could hear them. The teenagers were losing hope.
Victor happened to pass by the entrance to the cave, and five school bags caught his attention. He also heard some sounds coming from inside the cave. “Who’s in there ” Victor shouted.
“I’m William! We came here yesterday with our teacher!” William replied instantly. “Help us, please! We are stuck! Sarah can’t breathe here because of fear.”
“Okay, calm down, children!” Victor said. “I’ll help you get out!”
注意：

Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Buffalo, USA标题下的最后一句话“Doing this, the authorities are hoping to make the city beautiful again without spending money.(通过这样做，当局希望不用花钱就能让这座城市再次美丽起来)”可知，水牛城的当局提供人们1美元的房子是因为他们想让这座城市不用花钱变得更美丽，更有吸引力。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Liverpool, UK标题下的最后一句话“If you want to buy such a house, it has to be your first deal on buying property (不动产).(如果你想买这样的房子，这必须是你购买房产的第一笔交易)”可知，在利物浦购买1美元的房子，你必须是首次购房。故选C。

Angela Guzman was born in Bogota, Colombia. At the age of 8, she moved to a tiny island in South Florida. The contrast was pretty vast. She didn’t speak any English, so she met with lots of challenges. At school, she would get stuck because she couldn’t understand or be understood. She thought, “Well, everyone understands a picture! Why don’t I start drawing to communicate ” That was what she did. She tried hard to create pictures to show her meanings exactly, and then she became known as the artist in the classroom, from third grade through her whole years of secondary schooling. Later she chose to study design in college.
When Angela began her work in a big company, she was tasked with designing emojis — the company’s very first. At first, she intended to refuse the task because she had no idea what the word meant and what emojis would be used for. Her mentor said that the emoji was an icon (图标), an image, or a type of illustration, sharing joy, surprise, anger, fear, sorrow, love and so on.
Angela then began to study microexpressions of humans and simplify or exaggerate (夸大) them in an illustrative manner. For example, the eyebrows make a V in anger and an upside down V in surprise. When she designed object emojis, she often turned to real-life items. She went to the party supply store, buying party poppers (派对烟花) to watch how the colorful paper pieces came out, and how light reflected off them. They were hard to capture, but Angela tried to make it.
Later, the tiny icons Angela and her mentor created were born and soon used by millions of people. When people praised Angela for her emoji design, she replied, “Actually, it’s an experience that teaches me a lot. One major thing is empathy (共鸣) for communities worldwide. I pay close attention to the symbolism of color and the cultural symbolism overall. I think the cultural questions are important. For example, how do we make sure that every culture, every accent, or every person that speaks to these devices feels included That was something I struggled with early on. This kind of thinking allowed my mind to be inclusive and mindful of everyone who would use the product.”

“The pursuit of perfection is the tenet (信条) of my. life.” Magee rushed home crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”
Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example in recent years. Perfectionism is a universal cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, and deliberate self-harm. The constant stress of competitiveness and comparison can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.
If a person is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.
Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”
8. Which of the following best explains “shattered” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Delighted. B. Frightened. C. Frustrated. D. Amused.
9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of Magee’s inferiority
A The unhealthy comparisons. B. The A-plus confirmation.
C. The perfectionism phenomenon. D. The sense of competitiveness.
10. What may Magee agree with finally
A. It’s cool to be perfect. B. It’s fine to be imperfect.
C. It’s important to get an A-plus. D. It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Perfectionism is killing our health.
B. Perfectionism is a growing cultural phenomenon.
C. Accepting one’s imperfection is becoming a trend.
D. Imperfection is temporary and perfection is forever.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上A-而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子前一句话“So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure.(所以，对马吉来说，那个A-感觉像是一个失败)”以及后一句话“In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.(在那一刻，我觉得我作为一个人的自我价值远远低于如果我得了A或A+的话)”可知，在考试中Magee得了A-让她觉得这是一个失败，而且自我价值感大大的降低了。由此可知，当时她感觉到自己很有挫败感，划线的单词意为“挫败的”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数后两句话“High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, and deliberate self-harm. The constant stress of competitiveness and comparison can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.(高度完美主义与抑郁、焦虑和蓄意的自我伤害有关。竞争和攀比的持续压力也会让人们感到压力，头痛和失眠)”可知，不健康的对比，完美主义现象和竞争感是导致Hailey Magee自卑的原因，所以“对A-成绩的确认”并不是Magee自卑的原因。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”(最终，Magee明白了她必须放手一点，让自己展现出所有的不完美。她最终学会了相信自己可以出现，而不是完美，并且仍然感到自己受到了重视。“我可以不完美，一切都可以好起来！”)”可知，小女孩 Hailey Magee 最终接受了自己的不完美。由此推知，她最终同意了“不完美也没关系”这个观点。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段最后两句话“High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, and deliberate self-harm. The constant stress of competitiveness and comparison can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.(高度完美主义与抑郁、焦虑和蓄意的自我伤害有关。竞争和攀比的持续压力也会让人们感到压力，头痛和失眠)”以及第三段第三、四句话““It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with the Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.(临床心理学家Sherry说：“这是一个真正的问题——这些社交媒体图片最终成为人们可以与自己进行比较的标准，完美主义者总是试图攀比。”。攀比从未如此困难，因为今天我们不断被其他人生活中看似完美的画面轰炸)”可知，本文主要讲的是完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。故选A。
D
Diseases spread in many ways. An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But what if those surfaces could clean themselves
Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now they’ve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact. The idea is simple. Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the handle. In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.
Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17-year-old Sum Ming (Simon) Wong. He and schoolmate Kin Pong (Michael) Li, 18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs. After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) is known to kill bacteria. It’s already used in many products, from paints to desserts. To make their covering, the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder.
Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet (紫外线的) light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within. To make sure the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass. Each end fits into a bracket (托架). Inside one of the brackets is a strong light-emitting diode (LED). From it comes UV light. And here’s the interesting and praisable part: The power that makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.
The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13 (about 81 yuan) to build.
12. Why does the author mention the ways diseases spread at the beginning
A. To explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectively.
B. To demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectly.
C. To remind readers of the importance of cleaning their hands.
D To help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading.
13. What can we know about Michael and Simon’s door handle
A. It is too expensive for ordinary families. B. It is powered by the movement.
C. It works better at night than daytime. D. It is made of a metal absorbing UV light.
14. How does the LED work during the process
A. By producing titanium dioxide to kill bacteria.
B. By supplying enough power to the handle system.
C. By directing the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface.
D. By providing UV light to help titanium dioxide work better.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Michael and Simon’s door handle system
A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Enthusiastic. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Diseases spread in many ways. An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But what if those surfaces could clean themselves (疾病以多种方式传播。感染者可以对附近的人咳嗽或打喷嚏，也可以通过握手传播细菌。但有时我们会间接感染细菌。例如，病人接触门把手时可能会留下细菌或病毒。但如果这些表面可以自我清洁呢？)”以及第二段“Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now they’ve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact.(来自香港的两名青少年也问了自己同样的问题。现在他们发明了一种门把手，可以杀死接触的细菌)”可推知，作者一开始提到疾病传播的方式是为了帮助描述一项防止疾病传播的新发明。故选D。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet (紫外线的) light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within.(西蒙说，二氧化钛在紫外线照射下杀死细菌的效果最好。紫外线存在于阳光中。但紫外线不会自然照射到室内把手或夜间使用的任何东西上，所以这些青少年从室内照亮门把手)”可知，LED被放置在托架内是为了提供紫外线帮助二氧化钛更好地工作。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.(在实验室测试中，他们的系统杀死了大约99.8%的细菌，这些细菌传播到覆盖着他们材料的实验室盘子上)”以及倒数第二段“And here’s the interesting and praisable part: The power that makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.(有趣且值得称赞的是：使紫外线发光的能量来自于开门和关门。然后，门上的电力通过电线输送到门把手内部的LED上)”可推知，作者对这项发明的态度很热情。故选C。

We’ve all experienced peer pressure (同伴压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they’re just curious about trying something new. ____16____
It’s hard to be the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it
____17____ If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don’t want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. ____18____ You want friends who will support you when you’re in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
____19____ You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. ____20____
A. Choose your friends carefully.
B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.
C. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.
D. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.
E. It may be because they were all born to be confident.
F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.
G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t like.

下文“You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. (你可以从同龄的人身上学到很多东西。他们可以教你高超的足球技巧，也可以教你做数学作业的最佳方式)”说明同龄人身上有很多的有点，我们可以从中学习。空处引出下文，C项中的“peer pressure isn’t completely bad”和下文中的“learn a lot from people of your own age”相呼应。说明同龄人的压力并不是完全不好，也可以让我们从同龄人身上学到很多的东西。故选C。
【20题详解】
上文“So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed and guilty. (所以，找一些有相似兴趣的朋友。记住，友谊不是沮丧和内疚)”说明需要找一些有共同兴趣的人，拒绝沮丧和内疚。空处是前句的反面，D项中的“It”指代前文中“friendship”，说明友谊不是让人沮丧和内疚的，而是分享经历和享受乐趣的。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了第一个在线菜地分配市场AllotMe提出了快速扩张的计划。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：第一个在线菜地分配市场AllotMe提出了快速扩张的计划。介词for后应用名词expansion(不可数)作宾语。故填expansion。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该计划由Conor Gallapher于去年5月提出，旨在解决城市中可用花园空间不足的问题，以应对城市中不断增长的需求，特别是在伦敦，在那里，等待分配用地的清单长达40年。seek to do sth“设法做某事，试图做某事”是固定句型。故填to address。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：同上。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为London，是地点名词，在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。

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。
“Wow these trees are so tall!” William shouted excitedly, while walking with his classmates in a forest near his school. They were on a field trip to the forest as part of a science lesson.
Over there, they met the forester（护林人）, Victor. When William learned Victor lived in a simple wooden house there for years, he laughed at him with his friends.
Then, they passed by an entrance to a cave. William wanted to explore inside the cave, but his teacher didn’t allow it. “I’ll come back here,” he thought. On the way back to school, he remembered the exact location of the cave.
The next day, William asked his four friends to the cave together. They told their parents they would go to the library and return home in the evening. None of the teenagers told their parents about their plan to visit the cave.
When the teenagers reached the cave, they left their school bags outside to reduce the burden. One by one, they entered the cave. Just when they took a few steps inside, some rocks from the cave wall fell and blocked the entrance.
“How are we going to get out now ” one of the teenagers Sarah shouted. William had an idea and said, “Maybe we can try digging through the fallen rocks with our hands to reach the entrance.” But realizing getting out of the cave only by their hands was impossible, they had great fear. The sun was about to go down. The teenagers started calling for help, but nobody could hear them. The teenagers were losing hope.
Victor happened to pass by the entrance to the cave, and five school bags caught his attention. He also heard some sounds coming from inside the cave. “Who’s in there ” Victor shouted.
“I’m William! We came here yesterday with our teacher!” William replied instantly. “Help us, please! We are stuck! Sarah can’t breathe here because of fear.”
“Okay, calm down, children!” Victor said. “I’ll help you get out!”

【答案】Victor immediately called the first-aid center and rushed home. After a little while, Victor got back to the entrance with a shovel and a flashlight. “Hey! I’m back!” he shouted, assuring the kids that he would rescue them. Then, he began digging through the rocks at the entrance. It wasn’t easy for one man to dig through the rocks, but he was trying his best. Meanwhile, William and his friends tried to stay calm and told Sarah not to worry. A few minutes later, William and his friends could see the flashlight shine through the cave’s entrance, which made them excited.
Soon, the teenagers walked outside the cave and took a deep breath in the fresh air. Fortunately, Sarah felt better. Just then, medical workers arrived and examined the children carefully to make sure they were OK. William looked at Victor who was worn out and regretted making fun of him when they first met. He apologized to the great forester and thanked him for rescuing him and his friends. Later, the teenagers’ parents arrived and were grateful to Victor for his timely rescue. Also, the teenagers promised their parents they wouldn’t lie and take such a dangerous adventure again.
