Macie Semrau, a 6-year-old girl from Eliot, Maine, seldom missed school. So, when she refused to even get dressed one day, her mother decided to allow her to stay home with her father Kyle and her 4-year-old brother Caleb. The family would later be extremely thankful that the little girl refused to leave after she found her father passed out in the basement.
After returning from his night work, Kyle was feeling light-headed. He told his wife Kate that he would be laying low for the day with their children. He finally made his way to the basement. Macie paid attention to her father’s condition when she heard him shouting, and she and Caleb went to have a look. Macie found her 37-year-old father was about to lose awareness (意识). She asked him for his phone’s passcode (密码) so she could unlock it. After successfully opening his phone, she found the local police department’s number and called the police.
Smith was floored by Macie’s decision-making and her ability to stay calm. The little girl listed the family’s Goodwin Road address while explaining that her father was in trouble. In the meantime, Caleb comforted his father. Thanks to Macie and Caleb, he was sent to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, where he required four liters of oxygen (氧气) and spent three days recovering.
“I’m very lucky, obviously because of my daughter and son and the police’s response” said Kate. “It was quick,” he added, mentioning that the police arrived just in two minutes thanks to Macie’s call. “It was unbelievable. I was in tears myself,” he said.
The Eliot Police Department also praised the young girl for her quick thinking and strong awareness. Eliot Police Chief Elliot Moya praised the Semraus for teaching their children about awareness of their surroundings (环境) as well as communication skills.

With a relatively small population, pandas are not out of the woods or the bamboo forest just yet. The biggest threat to the wild panda population is habitat loss. And while around 34%0f its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still vulnerable to natural disasters, such as wildfires. To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, developed by the Sichuan Forest and Grassland Administration and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province
The instant reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, alerting fire departments so they can react quickly, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology-facial recognition could help identify individual pandas more accurately. Each panda has a unique facial structure and hair pattern. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but computer programs are able to distinguish the differences.
The system collects data from over 600 cameras, drones (无人机) and satellites, which it stores in the cloud. Researchers use this data to monitor, track and study wildlife as well as detect wildfire hotspots. Because the cameras are used in remote areas where there is little or no electricity, the system is solar-powered and uses microwave transmission (传送), which doesn’t require cables (电缆).
The system assists 140000 forest rangers, grassland managers, conservationists and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it detected 651 wildfire hotspots, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year.
Despite its name, the Digital Panda System offers protection to more than just pandas. The system covers the Sichuan section of the newly established Giant Panda National Park. The park is home to most of China’s 1800 wild pandas along with a further 8,000 animal and plant species. In the future, the digital panda system could be extended across the sections of the national park that lie in Shanxi and Gansu provinces, creating more success stories for other endangered species.
8. Why was the Digital Panda System built
A. To record wildlife population.
B. To protect wild pandas from losing habitat.
C. To increase forest and grassland coverage.
D. To provide pandas with more bamboos as food.
9. What do we know about the system
A. Computer programs identify pandas by size.
B. The data collected is mainly stored in cameras.
C. Smart technology plays an important role in its operation.
D. The system fails to collect data in areas without access to electricity.
10. What is the purpose of listing figures in paragraph 4
A. To prove the effectiveness of the system.
B. To show the various functions of system.
C. To illustrate the data collection process of the program.
D. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the system.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The system aims at saving pandas only.
B. The system has already gone into service nationwide.
C. The system is likely to benefit other animals facing extinction.
D. The system offers protection to all the species in Sichuan Province.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章旨在介绍数字熊猫系统的运用对濒危物种的保护作用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, co- developed by the Sichuan government and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province.(为了保护熊猫栖息地，四川省森林和草原管理局和中国科技巨头华为共同开发的数字熊猫系统在四川省的森林和草原上得到了有效的使用)”可知，数字熊猫系统是为了保护野生大熊猫栖息地免于丧失。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The instant reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, alerting fire departments so they can react quickly, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology-facial recognition could help identify individual pandas more accurately. Each panda has a unique facial structure and hair pattern. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but computer programs are able to distinguish the differences.( 即时报告系统有助于在难以到达的地区发现野火，向消防部门发出警报，以便他们迅速作出反应，并监测野生动物。与此同时，另一项智能技术——面部识别可以帮助更准确地识别大熊猫个体。每只熊猫都有独特的面部结构和毛发图案。在人眼看来，它们覆盖着皮毛的脸看起来都是一样的，但计算机程序能够区分这些差异。)”可推断，智能技术在其运行中发挥着重要作用。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The system assists 140,000 forest rangers, grassland managers, conservationists and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it detected 651 wildfire hotspots, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year. (该系统为四川14万名护林员、草原管理者、自然资源保护人士和研究人员提供了帮助。在最初的五个月里，它发现了651个野火地点，与上年同期相比使森林火灾减少了71. 6%)”可推知，通过这些数字可以证明这个系统是非常有效的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the future, the digital panda system could be extended across the sections of the national park that lie in Shanxi and Gansu provinces, creating more success stories for other endangered species. (未来，数字熊猫系统可能会扩展到位于山西和甘肃省的国家公园，为其他濒危物种创造更多成功的故事。)”可知，该系统可能有利于其他濒临灭绝的动物。故选D项。

“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change, ” says Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development. This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day - a global teacher-led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a company producing daily chemical products.
Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity. By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grassroots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40, 000 schools from all around the world.
This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building up on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt is Good Qualitative Study said that children don’t know how to play without using technology.
Outdoor Classroom Day is making playing time happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign. 93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children’s creativity after playing outside and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.
Scientific studies show that real play - the active, physical, self-directed play - is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.
12. What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day
A. Have PE. classes on the playgrounds.
B. Have a day off and go playing anywhere.
C. Learn and play by using natural things outside.
D. Play on their own without the teachers’ guidance.
13. Why do children spend less time outdoors
A. Schools stop providing playgrounds.
B. Adults ignore the importance of playtime.
C. Parents prefer to homeschool their children.
D. Technology helps children learn better at home.
14. What’s the school teachers’ attitude towards the campaign
A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative.
15. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce an activity. B. To advertise a product.
C. To entertain the public. D. To persuade students to play.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项名为“Outdoor Classroom Day”的活动，这项活动旨在通过增加孩子的玩耍时间，来提高孩子的创造力，充分发挥他们的潜力。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity.(今年5月17日和11月1日举行的“户外课堂日”，将看到世界各地的学校从教室里面换到教室外面,把学习带到操场和其他地方，使玩耍时间成为学校一天的重要组成部分。这可能包括使用石头等自然物体来做算术，或者进行昆虫狩猎来激发好奇心。)”可知，在“户外课堂日”，孩子们把学习转移到教室外面，他们可以在这一天可以利用户外的自然事物学习和玩耍。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies , while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. (这有助于改变这样-种趋势，即许多学校出售或修建操场，减少玩耍时间，为学业腾出更多空间，而在家里，孩子们的生活越来越多地被旨在帮助他们学习的有组织的活动所占据。)”可知，学校会减少孩子们的玩耍时间，为学业腾出更多空间，家长认为学习比玩耍重要，会给孩子安排更多的旨在帮助他们学习的活动，由此可知，孩子们在户外的时间更少了，是因为成年人忽视了游戏时间的重要性。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children's creativity after playing outside, and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.(93%的受访教师认为孩子们在户外玩耍后创造力有所提高，97%的教师认为户外活动对孩子们充分发挥潜能是必要的。)”可知，多数教师认为在户外玩耍可以提高孩子的创造力，有助于充分发挥他们的潜能，由此可推断出，学校老师对这项活动的态度是积极的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读文章，结合第二段“Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity.

第二节 （共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）
语法填空
After starting a piggy bank (存钱罐) to save up for a snowmobile (摩托雪橇), one five-year- old girl didn’t hesitate (犹豫) to give ___36___ all away when she realized someone else needed the money more than she did.
This past October, Jackie noticed her 5-year-old granddaughter, Sunshine, ___37___ (empty) her piggy bank and was ___38___ (great) surprised when she found out ___39___ she planned to do with the money. She was taking it to school for milk. Jackie explained that she ___40___ (pay) for her milk for the month already. “I am taking milk money to school for my friend, because my friend’s mother doesn’t have money to buy milk, ___41___ I want my friend to get it, too,” Sunshine offered the ___42___ (explain). Since Sunshine’s act, Hausher, the teacher, started a GoFundMe account ___43___ (raise) money to pay for milk for her entire class for the ___44___ (two) term. In just a month, she’s raised over $ 13,500.
“The money will help Sunshine to make sure her friend get milk,” Jackie explained. “Thanks to Sunshine’s act of kindness for one student, it has grown so much that it now includes everyone, which ___45___ (make) me happy,” Hausher added.
【答案】36. it 37. emptying
38. greatly
39. what 40. had paid
41. but 42. explanation
43. to raise
44. second 45. makes
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jackie的孙女Sunshine把存钱罐中准备买摩托雪橇的钱取出来为付不起牛奶钱的朋友买牛奶的故事。
【36题详解】
考查代词。此处指代存钱罐中准备买摩托雪橇的钱，money为不可数名词，故填it。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。固定结构notice sb.doing sth.（注意到某人正在做某事），因为Sunshine与empty之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词，故填emptying。
【38题详解】
考查副词。空处修饰形容词surprised，所以要用副词，故填greatly。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句，作found out的宾语，且在宾语从句中作宾语，故填what。
【40题详解】
考查时态。Jackie解释说，她已经为Sunshine这个月的牛奶付了钱了。由时间状语already可知，谓语动词用完成式；因为主句的谓语动词为一般过去时，从句谓语表示的动作发生在主句谓语表示的动作之前，因此宾语从句的谓语动词应用过去完成时。故填had paid。
【41题详解】
考查连词。本句意思是：我的朋友的妈妈没有钱，但是我想让我的朋友也买牛奶。前后表示转折关系，故填but。
【42题详解】
考查名词。the为定冠词，后面要跟名词explanation“解释，理由”，作offered的宾语。故填explanation。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。Hasher老师知道了Sunshine的做法以后，在GoFundMe上注册一个账户来筹钱。此处应用不定式短语作目的状语。故填to raise。
【44题详解】
考查序数词。Hasher老师为她的整个班级筹钱以支付第二学期的牛奶费用。此处用the加序数词作定语。故填second。
【45题详解】
考查主谓一致。分析句子结构并根据语境可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，which指代前文的内容，看成整体，所以谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，故填makes。

That’s all. Thank you.
【答案】One possible version:
Be a Lifelong Reader
Hello, everyone! I am Li Hua, an enthusiastic reader.
It is a great shame that students nowadays have so little time for leisure reading as most of them are burdened with huge academic pressure. This invariably leads to their narrow scope of reading as well as highly restricted reading time.
As a veteran book lover, I will, no matter how busy I am, squeeze at least 15 minutes to read. Through reading, I am transported back to different dynasties and countries, enjoying a totally different lifestyle and meeting people I would never acquaint in real life. In a sense, reading offers me a safe harbor where I can escape from worries in real life, rest my soul and immediately get recharged.
Therefore, I would like to inspire every one of you to join me in pursuing the habit of lifelong reading, which I believe will benefit you on all fronts.
That's all. Thank you.

第二节 （满分 25 分）
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。
A few years ago, the company I worked for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I've always loved running, so I was really happy when I found out I lived next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn't take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn't have anything But one morning, my wife gave me a $ 10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging (慢跑) around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn't think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!”I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn't believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife my story. “You won't believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Paragraph 1
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked.

Paragraph 2:
For several days, I waited at the same spot.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】读后续写范文：
Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his “helplessness”on my mind. “How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth Why was it that the jogger gave me the money I still remember his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I met that jogger, but in vain.”
For several days, I waited at the same spot. But to my disappointment, he didn’t turn up. It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again. I, the “robber”, gave the $10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him and said, “Oh, it doesn’t matter.” Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth.

Macie Semrau, a 6-year-old girl from Eliot, Maine, seldom missed school. So, when she refused to even get dressed one day, her mother decided to allow her to stay home with her father Kyle and her 4-year-old brother Caleb. The family would later be extremely thankful that the little girl refused to leave after she found her father passed out in the basement.
After returning from his night work, Kyle was feeling light-headed. He told his wife Kate that he would be laying low for the day with their children. He finally made his way to the basement. Macie paid attention to her father’s condition when she heard him shouting, and she and Caleb went to have a look. Macie found her 37-year-old father was about to lose awareness (意识). She asked him for his phone’s passcode (密码) so she could unlock it. After successfully opening his phone, she found the local police department’s number and called the police.

With a relatively small population, pandas are not out of the woods or the bamboo forest just yet. The biggest threat to the wild panda population is habitat loss. And while around 34%0f its wild habitat is protected, these areas are still vulnerable to natural disasters, such as wildfires. To protect panda habitat, the Digital Panda System, developed by the Sichuan Forest and Grassland Administration and Chinese technology giant Huawei, was used effectively across forest and grasslands in Sichuan Province
The instant reporting system helps to detect wildfires in hard-to-reach areas, alerting fire departments so they can react quickly, as well as monitoring wildlife. Meanwhile, another smart technology-facial recognition could help identify individual pandas more accurately. Each panda has a unique facial structure and hair pattern. To the human eye, their fur-covered faces all look the same, but computer programs are able to distinguish the differences.
The system collects data from over 600 cameras, drones (无人机) and satellites, which it stores in the cloud. Researchers use this data to monitor, track and study wildlife as well as detect wildfire hotspots. Because the cameras are used in remote areas where there is little or no electricity, the system is solar-powered and uses microwave transmission (传送), which doesn’t require cables (电缆).
The system assists 140,000 forest rangers, grassland managers, conservationists and researchers in Sichuan. In its first five months of operations, it detected 651 wildfire hotspots, reducing forest fires by 71.6% compared to the same period the previous year.
Despite its name, the Digital Panda System offers protection to more than just pandas. The system covers the Sichuan section of the newly established Giant Panda National Park. The park is home to most of China’s 1800 wild pandas along with a further 8,000 animal and plant species. In the future, the digital panda system could be extended across the sections of the national park that lie in Shanxi and Gansu provinces, creating more success stories for other endangered species.
8. Why was the Digital Panda System built
A. To record wildlife population.
B. To protect wild pandas from losing habitat.
C. To increase forest and grassland coverage.
D. To provide pandas with more bamboos as food.
9. What do we know about the system
A. Computer programs identify pandas by size.
B. The data collected is mainly stored in cameras.
C. Smart technology plays an important role in its operation.
D. The system fails to collect data in areas without access to electricity.
10. What is the purpose of listing figures in paragraph 4
A. To prove the effectiveness of the system.
B. To show the various functions of system.
C. To illustrate the data collection process of the program.
D. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the system.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A The system aims at saving pandas only.
B. The system has already gone into service nationwide.
C. The system is likely to benefit other animals facing extinction.
D. The system offers protection to all the species in Sichuan Province.
D
“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change, ” says Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development. This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day - a global teacher-led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a company producing daily chemical products.

Scientific studies show that real play - the active, physical, self-directed play - is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.

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。
A few years ago, the company I worked for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I've always loved running, so I was really happy when I found out I lived next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.
Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers in the park, so usually I didn't take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn't have anything But one morning, my wife gave me a $ 10 bill and asked me to buy some bread on the way.
It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging (慢跑) around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn't think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of robbers in the park occurred to me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the $10 bill! Now!”I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn't believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.
I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to tell my wife my story. “You won't believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”
