Some places are to be appreciated and visited during the winter months, with fresh layers of snow transforming already beautiful landscapes into wonderlands. Read on to discover these winter resorts around the world that are enough to wake you up.
Gullfoss Waterfall, Iceland
The falls are especially impressive in winter. It has two impressive layers, reaching up to 36 feet and 69 feet, and it’s quite dramatic to see the golden light reflected off its steep water at sunset. If you want to catch a sight of the polar lights on your trip, you can also see it from September to mid-April in Iceland.

Tromso is a charming fishing village and energetic university town. Located on the Norwegian Sea off the northern coast of Norway, Tromso is particularly suitable for winter holidays as it is a popular gateway to the Arctic Circle.

For many years, Croatian-American recording artist Nenad Bach toured the world performing with famous musicians like Bono and Pavarotti. Everything came to a stop in 2010, however, when Nenad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease — a progressive disease that affects a person’s movement.
“I love music,” he said. “When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010, I didn’t know what it was. Five years later, I couldn’t even play the guitar.”
One day, a friend of Nenad’s asked him to play ping-pong with him, and Nenad said yes. The effects were immediate and positive: he woke up the next day filled with a “desire to live”, and his physical and mental issues had improved. Encouraged, he kept playing.
For months he told everyone around him about how ping-pong was helping his Parkinson’s, but his praise fell on deaf ears. Finally, he took matters into his own hands and started hosting Ping Pong Parkinson’s events at the Westchester Table Tennis Center in Pleasantville, New York. Once the events attracted enough attention, he started an organization called Ping Pong Parkinson (PPP) in March 2017.
PPP hopes to encourage people living with Parkinson’s to play ping-pong for its benefits. In addition to promoting social connectivity, PPP also says that it increases neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) which creates new neural pathways in the brain. Nenad has seen evidence of this with his own eyes many times in the past years. He said that their “facial expression changes from when they arrive until they leave. In addition, some people start walking again.”
Nenad has made spreading the word about the power of ping-pong his new life’s work! He hopes others will take up the sport and see the same improvements he’s enjoyed since the first time he picked up a paddle (乒乓球拍).
24. What happened to Nenad in 2015
A His disease got worse. B. He learned to perform.
C. He began to play the guitar. D. His acting journey ended.
25. What caused Nenad to have hopes for life again
A. Organizing social events. B. Taking his mind off his work.
C. Setting up Ping Pong Parkinson. D. Playing ping-pong with his friend.
26. What was people’s attitude to Nenad’s words about ping-pong at first
A. Uncertain. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Curious.
27. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Nenad’s fighting against Parkinson
B. The benefits of playing ping-pong
C. The severity of Parkinson’s disease
D. The sporting experience of Nenad
C
Tea culture is varied in different countries by the way tea is made and drunk, and by the places for tea drinking. How to make tea may be different. According to the ways of making tea, tea is classified (分类) into white tea, green tea, black tea, etc. And how to prepare tea may be different, too. In Tibet, tea is commonly boiled with salt and butter. People may drink tea at home or in public, for example, at tea houses.
As part of culture, tea has a relationship with history, health, education, communication and so on. It is commonly used at social activities. For example, afternoon tea is a British custom. Families or friends can communicate with each other while having afternoon tea.
Tea has remained a way of daily life in China and drinking tea has a lot of advantages. It makes people less tired, clears heat in the human body and helps people lose weight.
Chinese people are good at using tea to make other things delicious. Tea, originally (最初) served as a medicine in ancient times, is now not just a kind of drink, but also excellent seasoning (调味品). Here are two delicious dishes made with tea:
Tea Eggs: You can find them cooked and sold in street markets in almost every city in China. Dragon Well Tea Shrimp (龙井虾仁). It’s one of the most well-known dishes in Hangzhou. Before you drink tea, please check the following tips:

Though fireworks (烟花) on bonfire night bring joy to many people, it is likely to be a night of fright and pain for the UK’s geese (鹅).
Research by Anglia Ruskin University has found that fireworks displays (表演) cause wild birds to suffer significant pain, and researchers have recommended that displays should not take place in areas with large wildlife populations. A study, published in the journal Conservation Physiology, is one of the first carried out into the effects of fireworks on wildlife. It found that the heart rate (率) of geese increases by 96% when they are influenced by fireworks displays.
The study involved 20 wild grey lag geese fitted with recorders to record their heart rate and body temperature, which are measures of physiological stress. Claudia Wascher, who led the research, found that the average heart rate increased from 63 to 124 beats per minute, and their average body temperature increased from 38℃ to 39℃, in the first hour of fireworks displays. It took the geese about five hours before the birds displayed normal body temperatures, with average readings returning by 5 am.
“Ours is one of the first scientific studies to examine whether fireworks disturb wildlife. There have been previous studies showing that fireworks can cause anxiety in pets, for example in dogs, but little research has been done into how animals in the wild react. We need to carry out further research to conclusively tell whether the geese are reacting to the noise or the light pollution from the fireworks, or a combination of both. Many people get a lot of enjoyment from fireworks but it’s important that we consider animals both pets and wildlife — whenever planning a display,” Wascher said.
32. What advice do researchers give according to the findings of the study
A. Geese should be protected especially at night.
B. Great attention should be paid to the UK’s geese.
C. Fireworks displays should be held without harming wildlife.
D. Fireworks displays should take place to bring joy to people.
33. Why were 20 wild grey lag geese fitted with recorders
A. To compare the heart rates between them.
B. To make them safe and sound in the wild.
C. To keep their body temperature normal.
D. To measure their physiological stress.
34. How long do the geese need to get over the effect of fireworks displays on body temperature
A. About five hours. B. About four hours.
C. About two hours. D. About one hour.
35. What may Wascher’s further research about
A. The relations between light pollution from fireworks and geese.
B. The effects of noise and light pollution from fireworks on geese.
C. Whether fireworks influence other wild animals.
D. The influence of a display on pets and wildlife.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning to pronounce English words correctly can be one of the hardest parts of learning English. Here are some tips to help you pronounce even the difficult English words correctly.
Learn to listen. Before you learn how to speak, you’ll need to learn how to listen. ___36___ Did the speaker sleep or slip Did he hurt his chin (下巴) or his shin If you can hear the difference, it will be easier to speak the difference.
___37___ When you speak, you move your mouth. How you move your mouth affects how you pronounce a word. The first step to correcting your mouth shape is to notice it and pay attention. There are a few ways you can check that your mouth and lips are making the correct shape, for example, using a mirror (镜子). ___38___
Pay attention to your tongue (舌头). The main difference between rice and lice is in your tongue. When you speak, you move your tongue to make sounds. You probably didn’t even notice that, since you do it without thinking. To improve your English pronunciation, it’s a good idea to check what your tongue is doing. Some difficult sounds for non-native speakers to make are the letters “L” and “R”, and the sound “TH”. ___39___
Break words down into sounds. Words are made up of syllables (音节), or parts. The word “syllable”, for example, has three syllables: syl-la-ble. ___40___ To check how many syllables a word has, place your hand flat just under your chin. Say the word slowly. Each time your chin touches your hand, that’s a syllable.
Pronunciation is important for you to learn English well. Just remember: Practice makes perfect!
A. Notice how your mouth and lips move.
B. You can even write the word down in parts.
C. Pronouncing them correctly is all in the tongue!
D. Some sounds can be hard to tell apart when you’re listening.
E. Turning words into parts can make them easier to pronounce.
F. Listen to someone speak and write down what they are saying.
G. This is by far the simplest way to tell what your mouth is doing while you talk.

It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence.

【原文】W: Come to my office, Billy. Look at your messy hair. This is the third time you have been late for class within this week. And every time you went in, you disturbed the teacher’s class.
M: Sorry, Miss. I didn’t mean to do that, but it was my alarm clock that didn’t wake me up.
W: That is not a proper excuse. You could set it ahead of the exact time so that you could have got up earlier and not have been late.
M: I did that, but it seemed useless when I found the batteries had run out after I woke up this morning. I rushed to school and luckily, my neighbour Mr. Green gave me a hand and took me to school with his car.
W: So you could have made it. But you were still late for class.
M: The thing is, when I got off, I found I had left my bag in his car. And it was too late to get it back when I realized that. I went straight to the nearest shop and gave him a call. I waited for five minutes before Mr. Green drove back.
W: Finally, he gave you your bag and you came to the classroom and you were already 15minutes late for class at that time. Is that all
M: Miss, you seem to know the entire story. May I go back to class now Otherwise I will be late for the following class.

M: No, not really.
W: There is a penthouse room for 400 a night.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: For millions of Americans, the most wonderful day of the year is December 25 Christmas.
For one thing, it marks the end of the busy time of year. Many people need a rest after weeks of buying gifts, going to parties, organizing travel and getting their homes ready for the holiday. With all this, it is often said that Christmas has lost its meaning as the birthday of Jesus Christ. Some churches in the United States have called off Christmas Day services, so people can spend the day with their families. Another important part of the Christmas season is music. Among traditional carols, one of the most popular is “Silent Night”. But not all Americans celebrate Christmas. And even those who do might not celebrate it as a religious holiday. This is true of Christians as well as non-Christians. Still, they treat it as a special day.
And it is hard to think of anyone that Christmas is more special for than children. Of course, this has a lot to do with the tradition of a kindly old man with a big belly and a bright red suit. Children know Santa Claus as the one who leaves gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve.

For many years, Croatian-American recording artist Nenad Bach toured the world performing with famous musicians like Bono and Pavarotti. Everything came to a stop in 2010, however, when Nenad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease — a progressive disease that affects a person’s movement.
“I love music,” he said. “When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010, I didn’t know what it was. Five years later, I couldn’t even play the guitar.”
One day, a friend of Nenad’s asked him to play ping-pong with him, and Nenad said yes. The effects were immediate and positive: he woke up the next day filled with a “desire to live”, and his physical and mental issues had improved. Encouraged, he kept playing.
For months he told everyone around him about how ping-pong was helping his Parkinson’s, but his praise fell on deaf ears. Finally, he took matters into his own hands and started hosting Ping Pong Parkinson’s events at the Westchester Table Tennis Center in Pleasantville, New York. Once the events attracted enough attention, he started an organization called Ping Pong Parkinson (PPP) in March 2017.
PPP hopes to encourage people living with Parkinson’s to play ping-pong for its benefits. In addition to promoting social connectivity, PPP also says that it increases neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) which creates new neural pathways in the brain. Nenad has seen evidence of this with his own eyes many times in the past years. He said that their “facial expression changes from when they arrive until they leave. In addition, some people start walking again.”
Nenad has made spreading the word about the power of ping-pong his new life’s work! He hopes others will take up the sport and see the same improvements he’s enjoyed since the first time he picked up a paddle (乒乓球拍).
24. What happened to Nenad in 2015
A. His disease got worse. B. He learned to perform.
C. He began to play the guitar. D. His acting journey ended.
25. What caused Nenad to have hopes for life again
A. Organizing social events. B. Taking his mind off his work.
C. Setting up Ping Pong Parkinson. D. Playing ping-pong with his friend.
26. What was people’s attitude to Nenad’s words about ping-pong at first
A. Uncertain. B. Favorable. C. Uninterested. D. Curious.
27. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Nenad’s fighting against Parkinson
B. The benefits of playing ping-pong
C. The severity of Parkinson’s disease
D. The sporting experience of Nenad
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Nenad被诊断患有帕金森病，和朋友打乒乓球激发了他活下去的欲望，并成立了一个名为乒乓帕金森(PPP)的组织，希望鼓励患有帕金森症的人为了自身利益打乒乓球。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010, I didn’t know what it was. Five years later, I couldn’t even play the guitar (当我在2010年被诊断出患有帕金森症时，我不知道这是什么病。五年后，我连吉他都不会弹了)”可推知，2015年的Nenad的病恶化了。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One day, a friend of Nenad’s asked him to play ping-pong with him, and Nenad said yes. The effects were immediate and positive: he woke up the next day filled with a “desire to live”(一天，尼纳德的一个朋友邀请他和他一起打乒乓球，尼纳德答应了。效果是直接和积极的：他第二天醒来时充满了“活下去的欲望”，他的身体和精神问题都有所改善)”可知，和他的朋友打乒乓球让Nenad重新对生活有了希望。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。文章第四段讲到“For months he told everyone around him about how ping-pong was helping his Parkinson’s, but his praise fell on deaf ears. (几个月来，他告诉身边的每个人乒乓球是如何帮助他治疗帕金森氏症的，但他的称赞无人理睬)”可推知，当初人们对Nenad关于乒乓球的话是不感兴趣。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了Nenad被诊断患有帕金森病，和朋友打乒乓球激发了他活下去的欲望，并成立了一个名为乒乓帕金森(PPP)的组织，希望鼓励患有帕金森症的人为了自身利益打乒乓球。文章倒数第二段讲到“PPP hopes to encourage people living with Parkinson’s to play ping-pong for its benefits. (PPP希望鼓励患有帕金森症的人为了自身利益打乒乓球)”可知，这篇文章最好的标题是：Nenad在和帕金森做斗争。故选A。

Though fireworks (烟花) on bonfire night bring joy to many people, it is likely to be a night of fright and pain for the UK’s geese (鹅).
Research by Anglia Ruskin University has found that fireworks displays (表演) cause wild birds to suffer significant pain, and researchers have recommended that displays should not take place in areas with large wildlife populations. A study, published in the journal Conservation Physiology, is one of the first carried out into the effects of fireworks on wildlife. It found that the heart rate (率) of geese increases by 96% when they are influenced by fireworks displays.
The study involved 20 wild grey lag geese fitted with recorders to record their heart rate and body temperature, which are measures of physiological stress. Claudia Wascher, who led the research, found that the average heart rate increased from 63 to 124 beats per minute, and their average body temperature increased from 38℃ to 39℃, in the first hour of fireworks displays. It took the geese about five hours before the birds displayed normal body temperatures, with average readings returning by 5 am.
“Ours is one of the first scientific studies to examine whether fireworks disturb wildlife. There have been previous studies showing that fireworks can cause anxiety in pets, for example in dogs, but little research has been done into how animals in the wild react. We need to carry out further research to conclusively tell whether the geese are reacting to the noise or the light pollution from the fireworks, or a combination of both. Many people get a lot of enjoyment from fireworks but it’s important that we consider animals both pets and wildlife — whenever planning a display,” Wascher said.
32. What advice do researchers give according to the findings of the study
A. Geese should be protected especially at night.
B. Great attention should be paid to the UK’s geese.
C. Fireworks displays should be held without harming wildlife.
D. Fireworks displays should take place to bring joy to people.
33. Why were 20 wild grey lag geese fitted with recorders
A. To compare the heart rates between them.
B. To make them safe and sound in the wild.
C. To keep their body temperature normal.
D. To measure their physiological stress.
34. How long do the geese need to get over the effect of fireworks displays on body temperature
A. About five hours. B. About four hours.
C. About two hours. D. About one hour.
35. What may Wascher’s further research about
A. The relations between light pollution from fireworks and geese.
B. The effects of noise and light pollution from fireworks on geese.
C. Whether fireworks influence other wild animals.
D. The influence of a display on pets and wildlife.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】

Learning to pronounce English words correctly can be one of the hardest parts of learning English. Here are some tips to help you pronounce even the difficult English words correctly.
Learn to listen. Before you learn how to speak, you’ll need to learn how to listen. ___36___ Did the speaker sleep or slip Did he hurt his chin (下巴) or his shin If you can hear the difference, it will be easier to speak the difference.
___37___ When you speak, you move your mouth. How you move your mouth affects how you pronounce a word. The first step to correcting your mouth shape is to notice it and pay attention. There are a few ways you can check that your mouth and lips are making the correct shape, for example, using a mirror (镜子). ___38___
Pay attention to your tongue (舌头). The main difference between rice and lice is in your tongue. When you speak, you move your tongue to make sounds. You probably didn’t even notice that, since you do it without thinking. To improve your English pronunciation, it’s a good idea to check what your tongue is doing. Some difficult sounds for non-native speakers to make are the letters “L” and “R”, and the sound “TH”. ___39___
Break words down into sounds. Words are made up of syllables (音节), or parts. The word “syllable”, for example, has three syllables: syl-la-ble. ___40___ To check how many syllables a word has, place your hand flat just under your chin. Say the word slowly. Each time your chin touches your hand, that’s a syllable.
Pronunciation is important for you to learn English well. Just remember: Practice makes perfect!
A. Notice how your mouth and lips move.
B. You can even write the word down in parts.
C. Pronouncing them correctly is all in the tongue!
D. Some sounds can be hard to tell apart when you’re listening.
E. Turning words into parts can make them easier to pronounce.
F. Listen to someone speak and write down what they are saying.
G. This is by far the simplest way to tell what your mouth is doing while you talk.
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. G 39. C 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习正确发音的重要性，并给出了一些方法来帮助学习者正确发音。
【36题详解】
上文“Learn to listen. Before you learn how to speak, you’ll need to learn how to listen. (学会倾听。在你学会如何说话之前，你需要学会如何倾听。)”提到了人在学会如何说话之前，需要学会如何倾听。下文“Did the speaker sleep or slip Did he hurt his chin or his shin (说话的人是睡着了还是滑倒了 他伤到了下巴还是胫骨 )”提到了有些词是难以分辨的，引出D项(当你在听的时候，有些声音很难区分。)承接上文，引出下文的具体容易听混的例子。故选D项。
【37题详解】
下文“When you speak. you move your mouth. How you move your mouth affects how you pronounce a word.(当你说话的时候。你动你的嘴。你嘴巴的移动方式会影响你发音的方式。)”提到了嘴的移动会影响到发音，因此A项(注意你的嘴和嘴唇是如何移动的。)作为本段的话题句是合适的，是具体的正确发音的做法之一。故选A项。
【38题详解】
上文“There are a few ways you can check that your mouth and lips are making the correct shape, for example, using a mirror.(有几种方法可以检查你的嘴和嘴唇的形状是否正确，例如，用镜子。) ”举例说明如何练习发音，G项(到目前为止，这是判断你说话时嘴在做什么的最简单的方法。)承接上文，this指的是镜子练习的方法。故选G项。
【39题详解】
前文“Pay attention to your tongue. The main difference between rice and lice is in your tongue. When you speak, you move your tongue to make sounds. You probably didn’t even notice that, since you do it without thinking. To improve your English pronunciation, it’s a good idea to check what your tongue is doing. Some difficult sounds for non-native speakers to make are the letters “L” and “R”, and the sound “TH”. (注意你的舌头。米饭和虱子的主要区别在于你的舌头。当你说话时，你移动舌头来发出声音。你可能根本没有注意到，因为你是不假思索地做的。为了提高你的英语发音，检查你的舌头在做什么是一个好主意。对于非英语国家的人来说，发字母“L”和“R”以及“TH”是比较困难的。) ”提到了发音时舌头的重要性，因此C项(正确的发音全在舌头上！)与段首句首尾呼应，故选C项。
【40题详解】
上文“Break words down into sounds. Words are made up of syllables, or parts. The word “syllable”, for example, has three syllables: syl-la-ble. (把单词分解成声音。单词是由音节或部分组成的。例如，单词“syllable”有三个音节:syl-la-ble。)”提到了把单词分解成不同的声音部分，即按音节划分整个单词，因此E项(把单词分成部分可以使它们更容易发音。)说明了那样做的原因，故选E项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了小熊猫的外貌特征、生活环境和饮食习惯，并指出它们目前所面临的危险。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：它的体长约为50 - 65厘米，前腿比后腿略短，这使得它走路时有点摇摇摆摆的样子。作主语应用名词length，意为“长度”，不可数。故填length。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：它的体长约为50 - 65厘米，前腿比后腿略短，这使得它走路时有点摇摇摆摆的样子。分析句子，设空处使用形容词作表语，句中than为比较级的标志。故填shorter。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：小熊猫生活在有岩石和树木的地方。空处引导定语从句修饰先行词area，在从句中作状语，表示“在这个地方”，应用关系副词where。故填where。
【59题详解】
考查语态。句意：它很温和，很容易被关在动物园里。分析句子。设空处置于情态动词之后，故使用动词原形。且句中it(指小熊猫)与keep之间是被动关系，故使用含情态动词的被动语态。故填be kept。
【60题详解】
考查分数表达法。句意：小熊猫大约三分之二的食物是竹子。分数的表达为：分子用基数词，分母用序数词，分子超过一，分母用复数形式；句中表示“三分之二”用two thirds。故填thirds。

考查副词。句意：小熊猫可以和其他熊猫和平共处。修饰动词live应用副词peacefully，意为“和平地”。故填peacefully。

【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：这些动物也被非法猎杀，它们的数量在过去的四十年里下降了50%。修饰动词hunt应用副词illegally。故填illegally。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意：这些动物也被非法猎杀，它们的数量在过去的四十年里下降了50%。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，根据in the past forty years可知为现在完成时，主语the number of them为第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has dropped。
第三节 单词拼写(共5小题;每题1分，共5分)
根据括号单词或者汉译写出单词和短语的正确形式，每空一词。
66. I’m _______by their beauty.(strike)(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】struck
【解析】
【详解】考查被动语态。句意：我们被它们的美所吸引。根据空白处后“by their beauty”可知主语I和谓语strike为被动关系，空前有I'mZ，故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填struck。
67. Every tree that is cut down is a part of the habitat of animals such as these koalas. In this way a lot of animal homes _________ ________ _______!(destroy) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】 ①. are ②. being ③. destroyed
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：每一棵被砍伐的树都是考拉等动物栖息地的一部分。就这样，许多动物的家园被摧毁了！句子陈述目前正在发生的事情，应用现在进行时。主语animal homes为复数，且与destroy之间为被动关系，所以现在进行时的被动语态，be动词使用are。故填are being destroyed。
68. At age 50, she found herself out of work and _______ at home with only her computer to keep her company.(stick) (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】stuck
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：50岁时，她发现自己失业了，只能待在家里，只有电脑陪伴着她。空处是宾语补足语，动词“stick”和宾语“herself”之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补，故填stuck。
69. Don’t post comments or ______ ______anything. (点击)(根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. click ②. on
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。句意：不要发表评论或点击任何东西。根据汉语意思提示可知，此处为动词短语click on“点击”，满足句意要求，结合空前or连接的Don’t助动词可知，应为动词原形。故分别填click；on。
70. If we do not, more species will become extinct and our own future will be _______ (danger). (所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】Dear Daniel,
I’m very sorry to hear that a conflict occurred between you and your mother because of your Internet addiction.
In my opinion, you should apologize to your mother. Although the Internet plays an important role in modern life, we can’t ignore its harm. Many students spend much time on the Internet, which may result in poor health and affect their study. Worse still, students may also have less communication with the real world.
You’d better take some exercise to keep fit or do some reading for fun. Only in this way can you live and study happily and healthily.
Yours
Li Hua

72..第二节 读后续写 (满分25分)
72. 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。
It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side .
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .”
【解析】
【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了 ’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。
②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。
2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。
3.词汇激活：
