17. What activity does the speaker believe is best for losing weight

20. What type of music does the speaker suggest for exercising
A. Songs that are popular.
B. Songs with fast rhythm.
C. Songs you can sing along to.
【答案】17. C 18. A 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】If you are looking to lose weight, going to a gym can help you exercise more. Most gyms have trainers who can advise you on the best activities for your body type. Popular exercises include running and cycling but I think the best one for losing weight is rowing as it works out your entire body from head to toe.
Diet is also a key part of losing weight. Some people believe that they are equal, but I would say what you eat is more important than how much you exercise. The less you eat, the less fat you have to work off.
Cutting out sugary drinks and beer will also see you lose weight quicker. Drinking coffee one hour before exercising can increase the rate your body burns energy. Make sure to drink lots of water during and after a workout. If you are struggling to work out regularly, try and change your schedule to give yourself plenty of time at the gym. If you need motivation, listen to music with a fast beat, not your favorite songs or something you can sing along to. These will prevent you from focusing on the activity.

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B. Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
26. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
【答案】24 C 25. B 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。
C
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
28. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
29. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
30. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力，环保意识以及健康生活方式的Urban Sprouts花园项目，让学生种植蔬菜，对学生影响深远。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.(起初是这样的，艾比·哈拉米洛说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了“Urban Sprouts”学校花园项目。)”可知，艾比·哈拉米洛是Urban Sprouts的发起者。故选D。
29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.(她说。“他们来找我们，认为蔬菜很可怕，泥土很可怕，昆虫也很可怕。”虽然有些人一开始害怕昆虫，对泥土感到厌烦，但大多数人都渴望尝试新的东西。)”可知，项目之初，一些学生不喜欢园艺工作。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”(她补充说，该计划的好处不仅仅是营养。有些学生对园艺非常感兴趣，他们带回家种子开始自己的菜园。此外，在花园里工作似乎对Jaramillo的特殊教育学生有镇静作用，他们中的许多人都有情绪控制问题。“他们走了出去，”她说，“他们觉得成功。”)”可知，这个项目不仅给学生提供了有营养的食物，而且许多学生回家开创了自己的菜园，对有情绪控制问题的学生也起到了镇静作用，从而推知，该项目的影响是深远的。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.

This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a crucial new treatment for malaria. Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600,000 die from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.
Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.
One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”
32. Which of the following statements about artemisinin is NOT true according to the passage
A. It is an extract from sweet wormwood that can treat malaria.
B. It has improved people’s health.
C. It is a great discovery.
D. It has saved 100,000 lives a year in the world.
33. What’s the meaning of the underlined word
A. Determined. B. Bold and brave. C. Easy-going. D. Polite.
34. What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A. How was artemisinin discovered and tested to treat malaria
B. What contributions did Tu Youyou and her team members make
C. What was the childhood experience of Tu Youyou
D. Why did Tu Youyou decide to use the extract from sweet wormwood to treat malaria
35. According to Tu Youyou, what does the success of artemisinin prove
A. It is the effort of the whole team and traditional Chinese medicine.
B. It belongs to her hard work.
C. It turns out to be the great luck of her and her team.
D. It depends on the big support from the government.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. A

细节理解题。根据第一段“Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.(青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分，据信仅在非洲每年就能挽救10万人的生命)”可知，D选项“它每年在世界上挽救了10万人的生命”不正确。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties.

She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.(一份四世纪的医学文献建议用苦艾的提取物来治疗发烧。屠的团队测试了一组干艾叶，但没有发现任何效果。然后他们尝试煮沸新鲜的苦艾，并使用从中获得的液体来治疗疟疾，但这也不起作用。他们的项目卡住了。但是屠呦呦不服输。她再次分析了医学文献，偶然间，她发现了一句话，建议用另一种方法治疗艾草。她得出结论，将苦艾煮沸显然会破坏其药用特性。用较低的温度提取提取物，她发现了一种有效的物质。在失败了190多次之后，这支队伍终于在1971年取得了成功。屠呦呦和她的团队成员甚至坚持在自己身上测试药物，以确保它是安全的。后来，这种药物在疟疾患者身上进行了测试，其中大多数人都康复了。这种药物被称为青蒿素，很快成为治疗疟疾的标准药物)”可知，第三段的主旨是青蒿素是如何被发现和测试用于治疗疟疾的。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”(屠呦呦说，青蒿素的发现是一个团队的努力。当得知自己获得诺贝尔奖时，她说：“这荣誉不只是我一个人的。我身后有一个团队，还有我的国家的所有人民。这一成功证明了中医的巨大价值。这确实是中国科学研究和中医药传播到世界各地的荣誉。”)”可知，屠呦呦认为，青蒿素的成功是整个团队和中医的共同努力。故选A。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Did you take part in a camp this summer ___36___ To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.
Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals — opportunity, challenge and growth.
Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. ___37___ For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may even have the opportunity to meet famous journalists there.
___38___ You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书）to become a real lifeguard.
This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know you could do before. ___39___.
So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity Is it a challenge Will I grow
___40___ These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camp.
A. Challenge means you are given a task.
B. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.
C. Some camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability.
D. But what about friendship, fun and joy
E. There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same.
F. Of course, summer camps aren't all about adventure or study.
G It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. A 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章要求你选择最适合你的夏令营。也许你以前从未想过，但每一个伟大的夏令营都有同样的主要目标——机遇、挑战和成长。
【36题详解】
下文提示“要选择哪个阵营对你来说是最好的，首先你必须做一些研究。”承接下文，E项There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same.“有这么多夏令营，但并不是所有的夏令营都是一样的。”切题。该项中的not all of them are the same.与To choose which camp is best for you,相吻合。故选E。
【37题详解】
上文提示“机会意味着你有机会做一些特别的事情。”承接上文，G项It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity.“这也让你与众不同，因为其他孩子没有同样的机会。”切题。关键词opportunity。故选G。
【38题详解】
下文提示“你必须完成这项任务，并成功地克服挑战。”承接下文，A项Challenge means you are given a task.“挑战意味着你被赋予了一项任务。”切题。关键词Challenge和task。故选A。
【39题详解】
上文提示“这意味着看到你自己进步，学习新的东西，做一些你以前不知道你可以做的事情。”承接上文，B项It also means becoming more confident in yourself.“这也意味着你对自己更有信心。”切题。关键词also将上下句连在一起。故选B。
【40题详解】
上文提示“这是一个特殊的机会吗？这是一个挑战吗 我能长大吗 ”下文提示“当你在夏令营中有正确的目标时，这些都会自然而然地发生。”承接上下文，D项But what about friendship, fun and joy “但是友谊、乐趣和快乐呢？”切题。该项中的But用转折关系和上文连在一起；下文中的These指的就是该项内容what about friendship, fun and joy 故选D。
【点睛】做七选五时“当心文中小also”，also是“也”的意思，这就说明前文一定存在它的一个分支了，本题第4小题，前文交代“It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know you could do before.”虽然看上去很长的一句话，但是重点就三个单词“seeing yourself improve”，此时在空中填上“It also means becoming more confident in yourself.”，（关键词It also means becoming more confident）这样一对应就很工整了。当然“also”只是一个代表罢了，可以表示递进的词还有很多：what’ more, besides, in addition等等。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了今年12月，江苏的学生可能开始有一种新的支付学费的方式：e-CNY。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：到今年12月，江苏的学生可能会有一种新的支付方式：通过数字人民币(e-CNY)支付学费。分析句子结构，该句子谓语动词是will have，空处填非谓语动词。the way to do sth表示“做某事的方式”，所以空处填to pay作后置定语。故填to pay。
【57题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：根据江苏省教育厅最近发布的一项计划，这是因为江苏省将鼓励在其教育系统中使用e-CNY。分析句子结构，此处考查表语从句。由句意可知，江苏省将鼓励在其教育系统中使用e-CNY是江苏学生会有新的支付方式的原因，所以填because。故填because。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据江苏省教育厅最近发布的一项计划，这是因为江苏省将鼓励在其教育系统中使用e-CNY。分析句子成分，空处填非谓语动词，逻辑主语a plan和release之间是被动关系，所以填过去分词released，作后置定语。故填released。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意：学生可能会以数字人民币支付考试注册费和奖学金。分析句子成分，该空在句中作状语，所以填副词probably，修饰谓语动词will pay。故填probably。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：2014年，中国开始发行数字版人民币。分析句子成分，该空是句子的谓语动词。由时间词“in 2014”可知描述的是过去发生的事情，要用一般过去时，即started。故填started。
【61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：刘婷是一名苏州居民，苏州是中国人民银行于2020年4月宣布的首批电子人民币试点城市之一。根据空前提示“one of”可知，此处要用可数名词复数形式，即cities，表示“首批试点城市之一”。故填cities。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：刘婷告诉本报记者：“如果你想用e-CNY买东西，你只需要下载e-CNY应用程序并开设一个账户”。空后是可数名词单数account，在文中第一次出现，此处要填不定冠词，表泛指。account发音以元音音素开头，所以填an。故填an。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：接受e-CNY支付的电子商务平台将无法访问用户的个人信息。分析句子结构，此处考查限制性定语从句，修饰先行词E-commerce platforms，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：但是E-CNY支付可以将资金直接从买方转移到卖方，这将大大降低交易成本。由前文句意可知，支付宝和微信第三方支付平台在通过它们转账时需要收取一定的费用，后文描述E-CNY支付可以将资金直接从买方转移到卖方，前后句意构成转折关系，结合空格位置，此处填副词however，表示“然而，但是”。故填however。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：e-CNY的发展稳步推进。空前是冠词The，空后是介词of，所以该空填名词development，在句中作主语。故填development。

67. 请认真阅读以下故事并根据给出的末段首句完成整个段落，注意故事的完整性。
Last Saturday, Jordon was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about seven years old. When Jordon passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You are good at nothing. ”Jordon stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
Jordon was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Mary in middle school. He was often told that he was good at nothing. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Mary asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, Jordon handed in his story. But the next day to his surprise, the comment (评价) “well done” from Mrs Mary came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When Jordon read that, he almost burst into tears. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Mary the next morning. And again he was praised.
Jordon became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Mary to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected them for him and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, he was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published and became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Mary's encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：
续写词数应为80-100词左右；
续写内容为一段；
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Encouraged by his own life story, Jordon decided to do something for that boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Encouraged by his own life story, Jordon decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. He told her that what she had said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs Mary. The mother was ashamed. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid. She said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at them, Jordon felt relieved, hoping he could make some difference to the boy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jordon在散步时看到一个妈妈训斥自己的儿子笨，那个男孩看起来很沮丧，这让Jordon想起了上中学时他经常被告知他什么都不擅长，但是Mrs Mary有一天称赞了他所写的故事，这让Jordon高兴，后来他又受到了表扬，Mrs Mary总是为他纠正错误，并给他很好的建议来改进他所写的故事，他获得了信心，对未来充满了希望，后来还出版了书，成为了著名的作家，他把自己的成功归功于Mrs Mary的鼓励。
【详解】1.段落续写：
由本段首句内容“受到自己人生故事的鼓舞，乔丹决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知，本段可描写作者如何帮助男孩，纠正男孩妈妈的做法。
2.续写线索：和女士谈话——告诉女士Mrs Mary给自己鼓励的故事——女士认识到错误——女士感谢——女士离开——Jordon松了一口气

As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.
I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.
Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself.
Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me.
24. What made the author want to leave her hometown
A. Appeal of convenience in cities.
B Her dream of becoming a writer.
C. Outside prejudice against southerners.
D. Her desire for the northern accent.
25. How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother
A. Upset. B. Pleased. C. Ashamed. D. Surprised.
26. Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent
A. To prove herself right. B. To help Emily be a reporter.
C. To make herself influential. D. To protect Emily’s self-dignity.
27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Stay true to your roots. B. Never do things by halves.
C. Hold on to your dreams. D. Never judge a person by his accent.
C
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
28. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
29. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
30. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
D
This year’s Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Tu Youyou (co-winner), whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin, a crucial new treatment for malaria. Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600,000 die from it. Artemisinin has become a vital part of the treatment for malaria, and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.
Tu Youyou, a committed and patient scientist, was born in Ningbo, China, on 30 December 1930, and graduated from Peking University Medical School in 1955. After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists with the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers chosen. In the beginning, Tu Youyou went to Hainan, where malaria was more common, to study malaria patients. In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments that showed promise in the fight against malaria.
One medical text from the fourth century suggested using the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves but found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got stuck. However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence suggesting a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood apparently destroyed its medical properties. Using a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine was tested on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine, which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. Upon hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me, and all the people of my country. This success proves the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.”
32. Which of the following statements about artemisinin is NOT true according to the passage
A. It is an extract from sweet wormwood that can treat malaria.
B. It has improved people’s health.
C. It is a great discovery.
D. It has saved 100,000 lives a year in the world.
33. What’s the meaning of the underlined word
A. Determined. B. Bold and brave. C. Easy-going. D. Polite.
34. What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A. How was artemisinin discovered and tested to treat malaria
B. What contributions did Tu Youyou and her team members make
C. What was the childhood experience of Tu Youyou
D. Why did Tu Youyou decide to use the extract from sweet wormwood to treat malaria
35. According to Tu Youyou, what does the success of artemisinin prove
A. It is the effort of the whole team and traditional Chinese medicine.
B. It belongs to her hard work.
C. It turns out to be the great luck of her and her team.
D. It depends on the big support from the government.

67. 请认真阅读以下故事并根据给出的末段首句完成整个段落，注意故事的完整性。
Last Saturday, Jordon was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about seven years old. When Jordon passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You are good at nothing. ”Jordon stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
Jordon was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Mary in middle school. He was often told that he was good at nothing. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Mary asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, Jordon handed in his story. But the next day to his surprise, the comment (评价) “well done” from Mrs Mary came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When Jordon read that, he almost burst into tears. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Mary the next morning. And again he was praised.
Jordon became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Mary to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected them for him and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later he was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published and became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Mary's encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：
续写词数应为80-100词左右；
续写内容为一段；
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Encouraged by his own life story, Jordon decided to do something for that boy.
