It’s 4:30 in the morning. Behind a forest, the sun begins to lighten the sky with bright and warm tones. The national bird of Honduras, scarlet macaws (红金刚鹦鹉), which have colorful feathers, groom (理毛) each other as they wait for Anayda Pantin Lopez who has devoted the last 12 years to protecting them.
Pantin and her husband. Santiago Lacuth Montoya, live in a small village called Mabita. where most of its villagers protect these birds and the rest of the wildlife surrounding them. Twice a day, Pantin prepares food for 40 to 60 scarlet macaws that come to her village for feedings. She also cares for several other birds at a rescue center, or chicks that fall down from their nests, until they can fly freely.
Years ago, Lacuth supported the family by selling mac aw eggs and chicks as pets—not realizing it would have a detrimental impact on the bird population. At that time, the hunting and sale of wild species was legal and thousands of scarlet macaws disappeared.
However, when Lacuth learned the number of scarlet macaws was sharply decreasing, he decided to become a guardian of them. He tried to convince other hunters to follow in his footsteps. Eventually, other Mabita residents joined Lacuth and Pantin’s efforts. “For many years the scarlet macaws helped me provide for my family. Now it was my turn to help them.” Lacuth said.
“The Mabita project is very impressive because of the commitment of Pantin and Lacuth and the entire community,” says LoraKim Joyner, founder of One Earth Conservation. In 2014, additional funds came from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and England’s Darwin Foundation stepped in to support the conservation and community engagement efforts.
Since the project began, the scarlet macaw population has grown from 500 to more than800. “Now we have seen that the number of these birds has increased,” said Pantin. “But that does not change our goal, which is to continue caring for them so that our children and grandchildren can have the opportunity to enjoy everything that nature gives us.”
4. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. The young birds are waiting for their mother.
B. The trees in the forest grow very well.
C. Scarlet macaws live comfortably and safely.
D. Scarlet macaws are trying to feed themselves.
5. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Meaningful. B. Harmful.
C. Possible. D. Small.
6. Why did Lacuth change his behavior
A. To protect other hunters from harm.
B. To encourage other villagers to live better.
C. To improve the quality of life for his family.
D. To stop the number of scarlet macaws decreasing.
7. What can be inferred about the Mabita project from the last paragraph
A. Its efforts have paid off. B. Its goal has changed.
C. It will attract more volunteers. D. It will continue to build schools for children.
C
People who routinely eat a lot of red meat may be increasing their risk of developing Type2 diabetes (糖尿病), according to a new study. Processed red meats, like bacon and hot dogs, are linked to an even higher risk.
Researchers tracked the eating habits of more than 200,000 people engaged in long-term health studies for up to 36 years and found that those who regularly consumed a lot of red meat—more than a serving per day—had a significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
“When we looked at the women and men who consumed the most red meat compared to the least, we found about a 50% increase in risk,” says study author Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The results were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
It turned out that the participants in the study who consumed high amounts of red meat also had higher body weight. They consumed more calories (热量) and were less physically active compared with those who consumed the least red meat.
Given that, in the US, only about 4% of people are identified as vegetarians and only 1%vegans, it’s not realistic to think that people will give up red meat altogether. So how much red meat is OK to consume US dietary guidelines don’t clearly state an amount, but a recent review of observational studies suggests it’s reasonable to limit daily consumption of unprocessed red meat to 50 to 100ms to prevent high blood pressure and heart diseases. Willett’s recommendation goes even further. “A limit of one serving per week of red meat would be reasonable for people wishing to improve health and well-being.” Willett says.
Given the large body of evidence that links too much red meat consumption to increased risks of heart disease and cancer, Christopher Gardner, a food scientist at Stanford University, points out that recommendations to limit the consumption of red meat, particularly processed red meat, have been made by many national and global health organizations.
8. How did the researchers draw their conclusion
A. By asking questions. B. By referring to former studies.
C. By making comparisons. D. By carrying out experiments.
9. Which word may best describe someone who eats lots of red meat according to the study
A. Healthy. B. Active. C. Crazy. D. Fat.
10. Which of the following is Willett’s advice
A Eating red meat only once a week. B. Replacing red meat with vegetables.
C. Consuming much unprocessed red meat. D. Eating a small amount of red meat every day.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Healthy Diets Are a Must B. Too Much Red Meat May Cause Illness
C. A Good Habit Is the Key to Living Well D. Red Meat Is Beneficial to Our Health
D
Smart and highly sensitive (灵敏的), a new soft sensor developed by UBC (University of British Columbia) and Honda researchers opens the door to a wide range of applications in robotics and prosthetics (假肢).
When applied to the surface of prosthetic or robotic arms, the sensor skin provides touch sensitivity and flexibility, making it possible for difficult tasks to be completed by machines, such as picking up a piece of soft fruit. The sensor is also soft to the touch, like human skin, which helps make human interactions safer and more lifelike.
“Our sensor uses weak electric fields to sense objects, even at a distance, much as touchscreens do. But unlike touchscreens, this sensor is soft and can detect (检测) forces into and along its surface,” explained Dr. John Madden, senior study author and a professor of electrical and computer engineering who leads the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory at UBC.
The UBC team developed the technology in cooperation with Frontier Robotics, Honda’s research institute. Honda has been innovating in humanoid robotics since the 1980s, and developed the well-known ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) robot. It has also developed devices to assist walking and the emerging Honda Avatar Robot.
“Dr. Madden’s lab has significant expertise in flexible sensors and we’re happy to cooperate with this team in developing touch sensors that can be applied to robots.” said Mr. Ishizaki Ryusuke, one of the study’s lead authors and chief engineer at Frontier Robotics.
Dr. Madden said. “Human skin has a hundred times more sensing point s on a fingertip than our technology does, making it easier to light a match or sew. As sensors continue to develop to be more skin-like, and can also detect temperature and even damage, there is a need for robots to be smarter about which sensors to pay attention to and how to respond. Developments in sensors and artificial intelligence will need to go hand in hand.”
12. What do we know about the new sensor
A. Its surface feels soft. B. It is far from sensitive.
C. Its interaction with humans seems unsafe. D. It is unable to pick up a piece of fruit.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new sensor
A. Its types. B. Its structures.
C. Its advantages. D. Its directions for use.
14 What is Mr. Ishizaki Ryusuke’s attitude toward the UBC team
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Human skin is easily hurt. B. A fingertip has few sensing points.
C. Sensors can light matches easily. D. Robots need further improvement.

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。
The whole city was quiet when my van (面包车) pulled up to a cafe. It was 8:00 am and the businesses wouldn’t be open for another three hours. When the students studying film production jumped out of the van and began unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading.
I learned a long time ago that I was just the driver and was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need advice and help. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions and helping each other. Anything else that I might be able to tell them was not required and unwelcome. Sometimes, that made me feel a bit sad.
Emptied of its movie-related contents, the van now became the place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys so that if anything was needed I could open the van.
Knowing that I could find a corner somewhere and finish reading the book, I got out of the van and looked for a place to sit down. It was early, but the California sun was already beating down, and I didn’t want to sit in the heat. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away. I saw a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more people. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the other end.
The man looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty and his hair was messy. I soon smelled the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of blacked-out teeth.
We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood and walked in front of me. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右:
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man.

It’s 4:30 in the morning. Behind a forest, the sun begins to lighten the sky with bright and warm tones. The national bird of Honduras, scarlet macaws (红金刚鹦鹉), which have colorful feathers, groom (理毛) each other as they wait for Anayda Pantin Lopez who has devoted the last 12 years to protecting them.
Pantin and her husband. Santiago Lacuth Montoya, live in a small village called Mabita. where most of its villagers protect these birds and the rest of the wildlife surrounding them. Twice a day, Pantin prepares food for 40 to 60 scarlet macaws that come to her village for feedings. She also cares for several other birds at a rescue center, or chicks that fall down from their nests, until they can fly freely.
Years ago, Lacuth supported the family by selling mac aw eggs and chicks as pets—not realizing it would have a detrimental impact on the bird population. At that time, the hunting and sale of wild species was legal and thousands of scarlet macaws disappeared.
However, when Lacuth learned the number of scarlet macaws was sharply decreasing, he decided to become a guardian of them. He tried to convince other hunters to follow in his footsteps. Eventually, other Mabita residents joined Lacuth and Pantin’s efforts. “For many years the scarlet macaws helped me provide for my family. Now it was my turn to help them.” Lacuth said.
“The Mabita project is very impressive because of the commitment of Pantin and Lacuth and the entire community,” says LoraKim Joyner, founder of One Earth Conservation. In 2014, additional funds came from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and England’s Darwin Foundation stepped in to support the conservation and community engagement efforts.
Since the project began, the scarlet macaw population has grown from 500 to more than800. “Now we have seen that the number of these birds has increased,” said Pantin. “But that does not change our goal, which is to continue caring for them so that our children and grandchildren can have the opportunity to enjoy everything that nature gives us.”
4. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. The young birds are waiting for their mother.
B. The trees in the forest grow very well.
C. Scarlet macaws live comfortably and safely.
D. Scarlet macaws are trying to feed themselves.

People who routinely eat a lot of red meat may be increasing their risk of developing Type2 diabetes (糖尿病), according to a new study. Processed red meats, like bacon and hot dogs, are linked to an even higher risk.
Researchers tracked the eating habits of more than 200,000 people engaged in long-term health studies for up to 36 years and found that those who regularly consumed a lot of red meat—more than a serving per day—had a significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
“When we looked at the women and men who consumed the most red meat compared to the least, we found about a 50% increase in risk,” says study author Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The results were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
It turned out that the participants in the study who consumed high amounts of red meat also had higher body weight. They consumed more calories (热量) and were less physically active compared with those who consumed the least red meat.
Given that, in the US, only about 4% of people are identified as vegetarians and only 1%vegans, it’s not realistic to think that people will give up red meat altogether. So how much red meat is OK to consume US dietary guidelines don’t clearly state an amount, but a recent review of observational studies suggests it’s reasonable to limit daily consumption of unprocessed red meat to 50 to 100ms to prevent high blood pressure and heart diseases. Willett’s recommendation goes even further. “A limit of one serving per week of red meat would be reasonable for people wishing to improve health and well-being.” Willett says.
Given the large body of evidence that links too much red meat consumption to increased risks of heart disease and cancer, Christopher Gardner, a food scientist at Stanford University, points out that recommendations to limit the consumption of red meat, particularly processed red meat, have been made by many national and global health organizations.
8. How did the researchers draw their conclusion
A. By asking questions. B. By referring to former studies.
C. By making comparisons. D. By carrying out experiments.
9. Which word may best describe someone who eats lots of red meat according to the study
A. Healthy. B. Active. C. Crazy. D. Fat.
10. Which of the following is Willett’s advice
A. Eating red meat only once a week. B. Replacing red meat with vegetables.
C. Consuming much unprocessed red meat. D. Eating a small amount of red meat every day.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Healthy Diets Are a Must B. Too Much Red Meat May Cause Illness
C. A Good Habit Is the Key to Living Well D. Red Meat Is Beneficial to Our Health
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B

Smart and highly sensitive (灵敏的), a new soft sensor developed by UBC (University of British Columbia) and Honda researchers opens the door to a wide range of applications in robotics and prosthetics (假肢).
When applied to the surface of prosthetic or robotic arms, the sensor skin provides touch sensitivity and flexibility, making it possible for difficult tasks to be completed by machines, such as picking up a piece of soft fruit. The sensor is also soft to the touch, like human skin, which helps make human interactions safer and more lifelike.
“Our sensor uses weak electric fields to sense objects, even at a distance, much as touchscreens do. But unlike touchscreens, this sensor is soft and can detect (检测) forces into and along its surface,” explained Dr. John Madden, senior study author and a professor of electrical and computer engineering who leads the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory at UBC.
The UBC team developed the technology in cooperation with Frontier Robotics, Honda’s research institute. Honda has been innovating in humanoid robotics since the 1980s, and developed the well-known ASIMO (Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) robot. It has also developed devices to assist walking and the emerging Honda Avatar Robot.
“Dr. Madden’s lab has significant expertise in flexible sensors and we’re happy to cooperate with this team in developing touch sensors that can be applied to robots.” said Mr. Ishizaki Ryusuke, one of the study’s lead authors and chief engineer at Frontier Robotics.
Dr. Madden said. “Human skin has a hundred times more sensing point s on a fingertip than our technology does, making it easier to light a match or sew. As sensors continue to develop to be more skin-like, and can also detect temperature and even damage, there is a need for robots to be smarter about which sensors to pay attention to and how to respond. Developments in sensors and artificial intelligence will need to go hand in hand.”
12 What do we know about the new sensor
A. Its surface feels soft. B. It is far from sensitive.
C. Its interaction with humans seems unsafe. D. It is unable to pick up a piece of fruit.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new sensor
A. Its types. B. Its structures.
C. Its advantages. D. Its directions for use.
14. What is Mr. Ishizaki Ryusuke’s attitude toward the UBC team
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
15. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Human skin is easily hurt. B. A fingertip has few sensing points.
C. Sensors can light matches easily. D. Robots need further improvement.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:数字化是21世纪的一个主要特征,代表着社会向数字技术在生活各个领域的广泛应用转变。分析句子结构,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代先行词Digitalization在从句中作主语,所以应用which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意参考上题。area为可数名词,其前有various修饰,所以应用名词复数。故填areas。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,专家指出,过多地使用社交媒体被认为会对心理健康产生负面影响。have a negative influence on/upon意为“对……有消极影响”,为固定搭配。故填on/upon。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:心理健康研究与治疗中心的Julia Brailovskaia博士领导的这项研究的结果清楚地表明,人们每天将社交媒体的使用时间减少30分钟,并将这段时间用于体育活动,可以显著改善他们的心理健康。分析句子结构,主句的谓语是showed,所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语the study和lead之间是动宾关系,所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填led。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意参考上题。根据句意并分析句子结构,“cut their social media use by 30 minutes a day”和“used this time for physical activity”之间是并列关系,应用and连接。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意参考第4题。空处应用副词修饰动词improve。significantly意为“显著地”。故填significantly。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:参与者在两周内每天用锻炼代替社交媒体30分钟,取得了强有力的效果。空处作主句的谓语;根据从句中的replaced并结合上下文时态可知,这是发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填had。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Brailovskaia博士说:“这向我们表明,不时减少我们的在线可用性并回归我们的人类根源是多么重要。”分析句子结构,how引导了一个宾语从句,从句是“it is+adj.+to do...”句型,其中it作形式主语,不定式是真正主语。本句中形容词vital置于how之后。故填to reduce。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些措施可以很容易地应用到人们的日常生活中,它们是完全免费的,同时,它们帮助我们在数字时代保持快乐和健康。空处应用形容词,作定语修饰lives。daily“日常的”符合题意。故填daily。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意参考上题。at the same time意为“同时”。故填the。

Hello, everyone! I’m honored to give a speech here on what I can do for the class.

In addition, when our classmates need help, I never refuse to lend a hand. For example, when some students lack motivation to learn, I am always ready to encourage them.

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。
The whole city was quiet when my van (面包车) pulled up to a cafe. It was 8:00 am and the businesses wouldn’t be open for another three hours. When the students studying film production jumped out of the van and began unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading.
I learned a long time ago that I was just the driver and was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need advice and help. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions and helping each other. Anything else that I might be able to tell them was not required and unwelcome. Sometimes, that made me feel a bit sad.
Emptied of its movie-related contents, the van now became the place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys so that if anything was needed I could open the van.
Knowing that I could find a corner somewhere and finish reading the book, I got out of the van and looked for a place to sit down. It was early, but the California sun was already beating down, and I didn’t want to sit in the heat. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away. I saw a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more people. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the other end.
The man looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty and his hair was messy. I soon smelled the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of blacked-out teeth.
We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood and walked in front of me. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.”

Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly. “For what ” I questioned. He looked at the ground as he whispered, “Usually people won’t even look at me, let alone sit by me. Thank you for treating me like a human being.” I honestly didn’t know what to say as he turned, picked up a small, dirty backpack and walked quickly around the corner. I was shocked. I hadn’t done anything spectacular; I just shared a bench.
After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man. To me, I just wanted a place to sit out of the sun. We were no different, no matter who we were, what we did in our lives or where we laid our heads at night. Both of us just wanted to be treated like a human being. Thinking of the man’s sincere expression, I felt a wave of warmth through me.
【解析】
【分析】本文讲述了作者在等待孩子们拍摄的过程中,想找一个地方看书。可是阳光太灼热,他想找一个遮阴处。看到不远处有一张公园的长凳,从而走上前去坐在长凳的一端。长凳另一端坐着一位全身散发着臭味的流浪汉。但是作者并没有离开,而是对着流浪汉微笑。流浪汉感受到了尊重,对作者说了一声“谢谢”。
【详解】段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“听到他的话,我惊讶地抬起头来。”可知,作者对流浪汉说“谢谢”感到很困惑和惊讶。所以第一段可描写作者询问对方“为什么对他说谢谢”,以及阐明流浪汉说谢谢的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“几秒钟后,我意识到我的行为对这个男人真的有意义。”可知,作者终于反应过来这个男人说谢谢的原因。所以第二段可描写他的行为对这位流浪汉具有重大的意义。
续写线索:疑惑→解释→惊讶→感悟
