Johnny Agar had always dreamed of competing in triathlons (铁人三项赛) as an athlete. Unfortunately, he’d been diagnosed with cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪) shortly after he was born. This disorder makes it difficult for the now-28-year-old to get around. However, he and his father are proving that where there’s a will — and a lot of love — there’s a way!
Jeff Agar, 59, is helping Johnny experience life to the fullest by entering triathlons by his side. As a team, they’ve completed over 200 races, including a full ironman triathlon that required them to swim, bike and run 140 miles in just 17 hours.
“I’m not a fan of triathlon,” Jeff joked. “I’m doing it not because I love it. This is Johnny’s dream and I’m giving him the legs and the power to do it.” Although Jeff typically provides the majority of the manpower, it was important for Johnny to cross the finish line on his own legs. “Walking in races was my way of telling Dad, ‘Okay, I’m not just going to say thank-you anymore; I’m going to actually put words into action,’” Johnny said.
Johnny and his dad now form Team Agar, using their story and the power of motivational speaking to inspire others. “When we completed that 140-mile Ironman together, it had an amazing impact on many people who had seen our story. We began to see that competing isn’t just about us crossing the finish line; it’s about helping others leave uncertainty in the dust — even those facing greater obstacles than we did.”
Earlier this month, they received some incredible news. They were invited to compete in one of the toughest triathlons: the Ironman World Championship! What made the occasion even more special was a pre-recorded video message from Johnny’s idol, athlete Peyton Manning. “Rumor has it that you’re a big fan of mine,” Peyton said, “I’m a big fan of yours as well! You guys are incredible; you’re a true inspiration.”
4. What can we learn about Jeff from the text
A. He has a great passion for triathlons.
B. He is upset about Johnny’s severe illness.
C. He goes all out to help his son achieve his ambition.
D. He crosses the finish line with his son in competitions.
5. Why did Jeff and Johnny set up Team Agar
A. To give motivation to other people. B. To encourage more people to join them.
C. To make themselves more competitive. D. To participate in more competitions as a team.
6. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Peyton will record more videos of Johnny and Jeff.
B. Jeff and Johnny have influenced people positively.
C. Johnny and Jeff have been getting along well with Peyton.
D. Peyton has provided Johnny with material assistance.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Old Father’s Love for Triathlons
B. A Disabled Competitor Works Wonders
C Dad Helps Son With Cerebral Palsy Achieve His Dream
D. Great Achievements Made by Dad and Son in Sports
C
You’ve heard the phrase “home for the holidays”, but I would like to introduce a new phrase: hygge for the holidays. A hygge holiday is all about peaceful, quiet and cozy(温暖舒适的) surroundings. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it Holiday hygge is easy and comforting. Most people are already doing at least some of these simple hygge holidays without even knowing it.
Hygge is a Danish word originally coming from an old Norwegian word meaning well-being and protection from the outside harm. It’s known that winters in Denmark are severe and last long. The concept of hygge has been used by Danish people to keep themselves mentally positive in the dark winter season and fill their homes with comfort and love.
Hygge is a very important word to Danish people, often used to describe what their culture is all about and it is not necessarily a thing, something you can buy, but rather more of something you feel. Hygge really is a reflection of one aspect of Danish living, and, happily, in the last five years the concept of hygge has made its way to the US and many other countries. I mean what’s not to like about nurturing(培育)peace and quiet and coziness
Here are some more descriptive words for hygge: comfort, familiarity, friendship, laughter, and even seasonal homemade food and drinks. While it is possible to achieve hygge any time of the year with hygge activities-an outdoor BBQ with friends and a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge, it is most commonly associated with the colder months because of its ability to lift one’s spirits during dark winter months.
Hygge is the most suitable for the November and December holiday season because it’s all about peaceful and cozy surroundings that fill you with contentment. There is indeed something you can do to bring holiday hygge into your home this season.
8. Why do Danish people choose a hygge holiday
A. To deal with cold and long winters. B. To follow the latest holiday trend.
C. To fight against nature physically. D. To spend more time with their family.
9. How does the author find hygge
A. It reflects Danish living totally. B. It is mainly about some feeling.
C. It is limited to Denmark and the US. D. It represents ancient Danish culture
10. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A. People do hygge in more ways. B. Hygge is preferred in summertime.
C. Hygge is still perfect for winter. D. People access hygge in certain time.
11. What might the author go on to talk about
A. Ways of hygge celebrations. B. Tips on achieving hygge.
C. Different opinions about hygge D. Benefits of bringing hygge into home.
D
More than 3,400 years after two ancient Egyptians were laid to rest, the jars of food left still smell sweet. A team of analytical chemists and archaeologists (考古学家) has analysed these smells to help identify the jars’ contents. The study shows how the exploration of smell can enrich our understanding of the past.
The 1906 discovery of the undisturbed tomb (墓穴) of Kha and Merit symbolized an important stage in Egyptology. The tomb remains the most complete non-royal ancient one ever found in Egypt, showing important information about how high-ranking individuals were treated after death.
Unusually for the time, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb resisted the temptation to open the sealed containers even after they were sent to the Egyptian Museum. The contents of many of these containers are still unknown, although there are some clues, says analytical chemist Ilaria Degano. “From taking with the museum keeper we knew there were some fruity smells in the display cases,” she says.
Degano and her colleagues placed various artefacts (人工制品) inside plastic bags for several days to collect some of the chemical substances they released. Then the team used a special machine to identify the components of the smells from each artefact. They found some chemicals associated with dried fish, and some chemicals common in fruits. The findings will feed into a larger project to reanalyse the tomb’s contents and produce a more comprehensive picture of burial customs for non-royals that existed when Kha and Merit died, about 70 years before Tutankhamun became the Egyptian ruler.
Aside from showing more about past civilizations, ancient smells could make museum visits more inviting. Usually, people admire exhibits with their eyes in museums. “Smell is a relatively unexplored gateway to the collective past for museum visitors,” says Cecilia Bembibre at University College London. “It has the potent alto allow us to experience the in a more emotional, personal way, through our nose.”
12. What can we describe the 1906 discovery of Kha and Merit’ tomb as
A. A landmark in Egyptology. B. A turning point in human history.
C. A breakthrough in archaeology. D. A mirror of ancient non-royal life.
13. What does the underlined word “temptation” mean in paragraph 3
A. Pressure. B. Ambition. C. Desire. D. Tendency.
14. Degano and her colleagues placed things inside plastic bags to .
A. protect them from harm B. gather their smells
C. test the special machine D. back up a larger project
15. What can the ancient smells do for museum visitors according to Bembibre
A. They bring them back to the past.
B. They give them emotional support.
C. They change their view on civilizations.
D. They add to their experience.

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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar(项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost—and—found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience(良心)was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone.

I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly.

Johnny Agar had always dreamed of competing in triathlons (铁人三项赛) as an athlete. Unfortunately, he’d been diagnosed with cerebral palsy (大脑性瘫痪) shortly after he was born. This disorder makes it difficult for the now-28-year-old to get around. However, he and his father are proving that where there’s a will — and a lot of love — there’s a way!
Jeff Agar, 59, is helping Johnny experience life to the fullest by entering triathlons by his side. As a team, they’ve completed over 200 races, including a full ironman triathlon that required them to swim, bike and run 140 miles in just 17 hours.
“I’m not a fan of triathlon,” Jeff joked. “I’m doing it not because I love it. This is Johnny’s dream and I’m giving him the legs and the power to do it.” Although Jeff typically provides the majority of the manpower, it was important for Johnny to cross the finish line on his own legs. “Walking in races was my way of telling Dad, ‘Okay, I’m not just going to say thank-you anymore; I’m going to actually put words into action,’” Johnny said.
Johnny and his dad now form Team Agar, using their story and the power of motivational speaking to inspire others. “When we completed that 140-mile Ironman together, it had an amazing impact on many people who had seen our story. We began to see that competing isn’t just about us crossing the finish line; it’s about helping others leave uncertainty in the dust — even those facing greater obstacles than we did.”
Earlier this month, they received some incredible news. They were invited to compete in one of the toughest triathlons: the Ironman World Championship! What made the occasion even more special was a pre-recorded video message from Johnny’s idol, athlete Peyton Manning. “Rumor has it that you’re a big fan of mine,” Peyton said, “I’m a big fan of yours as well! You guys are incredible; you’re a true inspiration.”
4. What can we learn about Jeff from the text
A. He has a great passion for triathlons.
B. He is upset about Johnny’s severe illness.
C. He goes all out to help his son achieve his ambition.
D. He crosses the finish line with his son in competitions.
5. Why did Jeff and Johnny set up Team Agar

C. To make themselves more competitive. D. To participate in more competitions as a team.
6. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Peyton will record more videos of Johnny and Jeff.
B. Jeff and Johnny have influenced people positively.
C. Johnny and Jeff have been getting along well with Peyton.
D. Peyton has provided Johnny with material assistance.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text

C. Dad Helps Son With Cerebral Palsy Achieve His Dream
D. Great Achievements Made by Dad and Son in Sports
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I’m doing it not because I love it. This is Johnny’s dream and I’m giving him the legs and the power to do it.(我这么做不是因为我喜欢。这是约翰尼的梦想，我要给他双腿和力量去实现它)”可知，杰夫竭尽全力帮助儿子实现他的抱负。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Johnny and his dad now form Team Agar, using their story and the power of motivational speaking to inspire others.(约翰尼和他的父亲现在组成了Team Agar，用他们的故事和励志演讲的力量来激励他人)”可知，杰夫和约翰尼成立Team Agar是为了给别人动力。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“What made the occasion even more special was a pre-recorded video message from Johnny’s idol, athlete Peyton Manning. “Rumor has it that you’re a big fan of mine,” Peyton said, “I’m a big fan of yours as well! You guys are incredible; you’re a true inspiration.”(让这个场合更加特别的是约翰尼的偶像，运动员佩顿·曼宁预先录制的视频。“据说你是我的超级粉丝，”佩顿说，“我也是你的超级粉丝!你们太不可思议了；你真是个鼓舞人心的人。”)”可推知，作者在最后一段想表达杰夫和约翰尼对人们产生了积极的影响。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Jeff Agar, 59, is helping Johnny experience life to the fullest by entering triathlons by his side.

You’ve heard the phrase “home for the holidays”, but I would like to introduce a new phrase: hygge for the holidays. A hygge holiday is all about peaceful, quiet and cozy(温暖舒适的) surroundings. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it Holiday hygge is easy and comforting. Most people are already doing at least some of these simple hygge holidays without even knowing it.
Hygge is a Danish word originally coming from an old Norwegian word meaning well-being and protection from the outside harm. It’s known that winters in Denmark are severe and last long. The concept of hygge has been used by Danish people to keep themselves mentally positive in the dark winter season and fill their homes with comfort and love.
Hygge is a very important word to Danish people, often used to describe what their culture is all about and it is not necessarily a thing, something you can buy, but rather more of something you feel. Hygge really is a reflection of one aspect of Danish living, and, happily, in the last five years the concept of hygge has made its way to the US and many other countries. I mean what’s not to like about nurturing(培育)peace and quiet and coziness
Here are some more descriptive words for hygge: comfort, familiarity, friendship, laughter, and even seasonal homemade food and drinks. While it is possible to achieve hygge any time of the year with hygge activities-an outdoor BBQ with friends and a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge, it is most commonly associated with the colder months because of its ability to lift one’s spirits during dark winter months.
Hygge is the most suitable for the November and December holiday season because it’s all about peaceful and cozy surroundings that fill you with contentment. There is indeed something you can do to bring holiday hygge into your home this season.
8. Why do Danish people choose a hygge holiday
A. To deal with cold and long winters. B. To follow the latest holiday trend.
C. To fight against nature physically. D. To spend more time with their family.
9. How does the author find hygge
A. It reflects Danish living totally. B. It is mainly about some feeling.
C. It is limited to Denmark and the US. D. It represents ancient Danish culture
10. What message is conveyed in paragraph 4
A. People do hygge in more ways. B. Hygge is preferred in summertime.
C. Hygge is still perfect for winter. D. People access hygge in certain time.
11. What might the author go on to talk about
A. Ways of hygge celebrations. B. Tips on achieving hygge.
C. Different opinions about hygge D. Benefits of bringing hygge into home.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种度假模式——“hygge for the holidays”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It’s known that winters in Denmark are severe and last long. The concept of hygge has been used by Danish people to keep themselves mentally positive in the dark winter season and fill their homes with comfort and love. (众所周知，丹麦的冬天非常寒冷，而且持续时间很长。丹麦人用hygge这个概念来让自己在黑暗的冬季保持积极的心态，让他们的家充满舒适和爱。)” 可知，丹麦人选择hygge这样的度假方式是为了应对寒冷漫长的冬季。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Hygge is a very important word to Danish people, often used to describe what their culture is all about and it is not necessarily a thing, something you can buy, but rather more of something you feel. (Hygge对丹麦人来说是一个非常重要的词，经常用来描述他们的文化，它不一定是一件东西，你可以买到的东西，更多的是你感受到的东西。)” 可知，作者认为这种度假方式重在感觉。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While it is possible to achieve hygge any time of the year with hygge activities-an outdoor BBQ with friends and a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge, it is most commonly associated with the colder months because of its ability to lift one’s spirits during dark winter months. (虽然在一年中的任何时候都可以通过hygge活动来实现hygge——和朋友一起户外烧烤，和家人在星空下看电影都是夏季hygge的好例子，但它通常与寒冷的月份联系在一起，因为它能够在黑暗的冬季提振一个人的精神。)”可知，虽然现在在一年中的任何时候都可以进行hygge活动，但作者强调的是这种度假方式仍然最适合冬季。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There is indeed something you can do to bring holiday hygge into your home this season. (在这个季节，你确实可以做一些事情来给家里带来节日的舒适。)”可推断出作者接下来可能会介绍一些能帮助你把hygge带回家，即获取hygge的方法。故选B。
D
More than 3,400 years after two ancient Egyptians were laid to rest, the jars of food left still smell sweet. A team of analytical chemists and archaeologists (考古学家) has analysed these smells to help identify the jars’ contents. The study shows how the exploration of smell can enrich our understanding of the past.
The 1906 discovery of the undisturbed tomb (墓穴) of Kha and Merit symbolized an important stage in Egyptology. The tomb remains the most complete non-royal ancient one ever found in Egypt, showing important information about how high-ranking individuals were treated after death.
Unusually for the time, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb resisted the temptation to open the sealed containers even after they were sent to the Egyptian Museum. The contents of many of these containers are still unknown, although there are some clues, says analytical chemist Ilaria Degano. “From taking with the museum keeper we knew there were some fruity smells in the display cases,” she says.
Degano and her colleagues placed various artefacts (人工制品) inside plastic bags for several days to collect some of the chemical substances they released. Then the team used a special machine to identify the components of the smells from each artefact. They found some chemicals associated with dried fish, and some chemicals common in fruits. The findings will feed into a larger project to reanalyse the tomb’s contents and produce a more comprehensive picture of burial customs for non-royals that existed when Kha and Merit died, about 70 years before Tutankhamun became the Egyptian ruler.
Aside from showing more about past civilizations, ancient smells could make museum visits more inviting. Usually, people admire exhibits with their eyes in museums. “Smell is a relatively unexplored gateway to the collective past for museum visitors,” says Cecilia Bembibre at University College London. “It has the potent alto allow us to experience the in a more emotional, personal way, through our nose.”
12. What can we describe the 1906 discovery of Kha and Merit’ tomb as
A. A landmark in Egyptology. B. A turning point in human history.
C. A breakthrough in archaeology. D. A mirror of ancient non-royal life.
13. What does the underlined word “temptation” mean in paragraph 3
A. Pressure. B. Ambition. C. Desire. D. Tendency.
14. Degano and her colleagues placed things inside plastic bags to .
A. protect them from harm B. gather their smells
C. test the special machine D. back up a larger project
15. What can the ancient smells do for museum visitors according to Bembibre
A They bring them back to the past.
B. They give them emotional support.
C. They change their view on civilizations.
D. They add to their experience.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项对埃及古墓食物罐的研究，研究表明，对气味的探索可以丰富我们对过去的理解。

细节判断题。根据第二段中“The 1906 discovery of the undisturbed tomb (墓穴) of Kha and Merit symbolized an important stage in Egyptology. (1906年发现的未被破坏的Kha和Merit墓标志着埃及学的一个重要阶段)”可知，1906年Kha和Merit墓的发现是埃及学的里程碑。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“The contents of many of these containers are still unknown, although there are some clues, says analytical chemist Ilaria Degano. (分析化学家Ilaria Degano说，尽管有一些线索，但许多容器的内容物仍然未知)”说明许多容器没有被打开，不知道里面的内容，从而推知划线词句“Unusually for the time, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb resisted the temptation to open the sealed containers even after they were sent to the Egyptian Museum. (在当时不同寻常的是，发现陵墓的考古学家抵制住了打开密封容器的temptation，即使这些容器已经被送往埃及博物馆)”其中划线词汇意思是“想法，欲望”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Degano and her colleagues placed various artefacts (人工制品) inside plastic bags for several days to collect some of the chemical substances they released. Then the team used a special machine to identify the components of the smells from each artefact. (Degano和她的同事们把各种各样的文物放在塑料袋里几天，收集它们释放的一些化学物质。然后，该团队使用一种特殊的机器来识别每个人工制品的气味成分)”可知，Degano和她的同事们把东西放在塑料袋里是为了收集它们的气味。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Bembibre所说“Smell is a relatively unexplored gateway to the collective past for museum visitors. (对于博物馆游客来说，嗅觉是通往集体过去的一扇相对未被探索的大门)”以及“It has the potent alto allow us to experience the in a more emotional, personal way, through our nose.(它有强大的中音，让我们通过鼻子以一种更感性、更个人的方式体验世界)”可推知，古老的气味有增加博物馆游客体验的作用。故选D项。

It’s time to sharpen your knife skills. Grocery stores offer pre-cut vegetables, which is a wonderful innovation for the short-on-time among us. But if you are able, buying a whole vegetable will save you some money-and your produce will last longer if you don’t cook it immediately.

Most kitchen cleaning work can be handled without products that have powerful but damaging chemicals which come in plastic containers and put eco-unfriendly substances into the air and near your food.____19____ You can use baking soda(小苏打)to clean counters, sinks, and stovetops. Lemon juice, essential oils, and even large pieces of sea salt for cleaning can also help with your cleaning routine.
Share with your local food pantry. A quick online search or phone call can put you in touch with your local food pantry. Learn what they need most and seek out items in your pantry that are not yet past their best-before date or that you aren’t likely to use in the near future.____20____ Both sides will get a benefit.

【导语】本文是说明文。本文就环保食品储藏室问题给出应对策略，倡导健康、环保生活方式。
【16题详解】
由上文“Everyone wants to keep their kitchen clean and have a healthy pantry (食品储藏室) that offers healthy food options year-round. (每个人都想保持厨房清洁，有一个健康的食品储藏室，全年提供健康的食品选择。)”可知，下面要说跟“食品储藏室”有关的话题。G项“But could you also pay some attention to keeping an eco-friendly pantry (但你能不能也注意保持一个环保的食品储藏室？)”能承接上文，符合题意。且与上文中的“You already do so much for your family’s health (你已经为家人的健康付出了这么多。)”形成转折关系，且其中的“keeping an eco-friendly pantry”能引出下文的几种做法。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据段落主旨句“You can smarten up your storage (你可以把你的储物柜变得更聪明。)”和空前的“you can store pepper, grains, and other pantry foods in glass containers. (你可以用玻璃容器储存胡椒、谷物和其他食品。)”可知，本段介绍的是关于食物储存的建议，并提到尽可能使用玻璃容器，因此空处应与玻璃容器有关。故F项“The see-through material will show you when things are running low (透明材料会在电量不足时向您显示)”能承接上文，符合题意。F项中的“The see-through material”指的正是前面提到的玻璃容器。故选F。
【18题详解】
空处是段落主旨句。通读本段落“Some foods, like tomatoes, should never be refrigerated, while others, like cucumbers, stay fresh longer if they’re stored in cold conditions. Knowing where each food is happy will help you use your cooling equipment to maximum benefit. (有些食物，如西红柿，不应该冷藏，而其他食物，如黄瓜，如果储存在寒冷的条件下，可以保持新鲜更长时间。了解每一种食物在什么地方最好吃，可以帮助你最大限度地利用冷却设备。)”可知，本段讲述了保存食物的温度。A项“You should manage storage temperatures. (你应该控制储存温度)”可以概括本段主旨。故选A。
【19题详解】
由上文“Clean up your cleaning products. Most kitchen cleaning work can be handled without products that have powerful but damaging chemicals which come in plastic containers and put eco-unfriendly substances into the air and near your food. (清理你的清洁产品。大多数厨房清洁工作都可以不使用含有强力但具有破坏性的化学物质的产品，这些化学物质装在塑料容器中，会把对环境不友好的物质释放到空气中和食物附近。)”可知，下面要说跟“如何选择清洁产品”有关的话题。故D项“Seek out some simple and mild solution “recipes”. (找出一些简单温和的解决方案“诀窍”。)”能承接上文，符合题意。空后“You can use baking soda(小苏打)to clean counters, sinks, and stovetops. Lemon juice, essential oils, and even large pieces of sea salt for cleaning can also help with your cleaning routine. (你可以用小苏打来清洁柜台、水槽和灶台。柠檬汁，精油，甚至大块的海盐也可以帮助你清洁。)”说明可以使用什么。D项中的“simple and mild”与上文中的“powerful but damaging”形成对比，且“recipes”呼应下文列举的清洁方法。故选D。
【20题详解】
由上文“Share with your local food pantry. A quick online search or phone call can put you in touch with your local food pantry. Learn what they need most and seek out items in your pantry that are not yet past their best-before date or that you aren’t likely to use in the near future. (与当地的食品储藏室分享。快速上网搜索或打个电话就可以联系到当地的食品储藏室。了解他们最需要的是什么，并在你的食品储藏室里找出那些尚未超过最佳食用日期或近期不太可能使用的食品。)”可知，空处应与空前环保所带来的的好处有关，故选E项“You’ll be reducing your waste and feeding your neighbors at one go.(你在减少浪费的同时又可以给邻居提供食物)”能承接上文，符合题意。且空后的“Both sides (双方)”指的就是E项中的“You”和“your neighbors”。故选E。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国改变世界的“新四大发明”：高速铁路、电子支付、共享自行车和在线购物。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：中国通过“新四大发明”——高速铁路、电子支付、共享单车和网上购物——再次证明了自己改变世界的能力。分析句子结构并由空前的prove可知，空处作宾语，应用名词形式ability，此处为不可数名词。故填ability。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据北京外国语大学“一带一路”研究院的一项调查显示，这与中国的高科技创新有关，科技创新提高了人们的生活质量。本句为限制性定语从句，先行词为innovation，为物，在从句中作主语，所以应用which或that引导。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：据北京外国语大学“一带一路”研究院的一项调查显示，这与中国的高科技创新有关，科技创新提高了人们的生活质量。分析句子可知，空处用非谓语动词作定语，且和逻辑主语survey之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填made。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“我的钱包不用了。”一名大学生说，他还补充说，“甚至卖煎饼的人也在使用移动支付。”分析句子可知，student为可数名词，此处表示泛指一个学生，university首字母为辅音音素。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“我的钱包不用了。”一名大学生说，他还补充说，“甚至卖煎饼的人也在使用移动支付。”分析句子可知，空处为非谓语动词作状语，主语student与add之间为主动关系，故用动词的现在分词形式作状语。故填adding。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：自行车本身并不新鲜，但自行车共享的运行模式是基于卫星导航系统、移动支付、大数据和其他高技术。分析句子可知，base是谓语动词，base和句子主语the operating mode之间是被动关系，且描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语表示单数概念。故填is based。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：世界卫生组织驻华代表Bernhard Schwartlander表示，由于中国在鼓励创新方面投入了大量资金，中国逐渐进入一个新的创新时代。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to encourage。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：手机也是如此，中国在各种方面都处于领先地位，比如社交消息应用微信。分析句子可知，此空应填副词作状语，修饰后面的形容词。故填extremely。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：她说，手机也是如此，中国在各种方面都处于领先地位，比如社交消息应用微信。分析句子可知，这里考查a variety of表示“各种各样的”，为固定搭配。故填of。
【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：中国拥有世界上最大的移动设备应用量。根据空前的the以及空后的in the world可知， 空处应用最高级形式。故填largest。

【答案】参考范文：
Dear Jack,
I am Li Hua, a member of the English club. I am writing to give some advice on the weekly activity held by our English club.
For now, the only activity every week is watching an English movie, which is beneficial for students to practice their listening and learn about foreign cultures. However, it is not an effective way for students to improve their oral English. Therefore, I suggest that we add an English Forum after watching movies, where students can express their feelings and opinions freely about the plots, or the characters from the movie.
Hopefully, my advice can be taken into consideration and the club members can have a better time joining our club.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar(项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost—and—found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience(良心)was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone.

I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. With butterflies in my stomach, I dialed the telephone number. Secretly I prayed no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she immediately wanted to come over. I said that my daughters love it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her a few days before. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and Molly was barking. I opened the door, forcing myself to face it.
I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Molly started wagging its tail and barking excitedly as if it had recognized someone familiar. Surprised and excited, the woman told me that she couldn’t sleep well without it and thanked us for keeping her dog for these days. She offered to give me some cash as a reward, but I refused. After she took Molly away, I cracked a smile. I knew I had done the right thing―that puppy was exactly where she belonged．
