I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.
My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.
To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.
Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better.
What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.
This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it.
24. It seems that the author’s high school life is anything but ______.
A. memorable B. impressive C. tiring D. bitter

C. The author had no time for other hobbies other than study.
D. The author won a lot of prizes in competitions during high school.
26. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of the author’s dormitory life

【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章回顾了作者刚刚过去的高中生活。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.(当我回忆起我难忘的高中生活时，我感到幸福和印象深刻。)”和第三段第一句话“To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it.(说实话，我的高中生活很累，但我真的很享受。)”可知，作者的高中生活难忘、令人印象深刻又很累，但并不痛苦。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.(我的父母和老师一直要求我把学习放在第一位。在那个时候，我早上5:30起床，很晚才睡觉，以便有更多的学习时间来复习我在一天中学到的东西。除了学习，我还参加了一些活动，如英语演讲比赛，书法比赛等。)”可知，作者一直将学习放在第一位，每天五点半起床，很晚才睡，除了学习还要参加英语演讲比赛、书法比赛等活动，说明作者在高中是一个很勤奋的学生。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.(更重要的是，宿舍生活也值得一提。由于住在离家很远的地方，我在高中第一学期结束时变得相当独立。我的室友和我作为一个团队每天做一些清洁。我们如同家人一样，在一起生活得很愉快，我的社交能力也逐渐提高了。)”可知，宿舍生活让作者变得独立，团队协作和社交能力也提高了，而住得离家远不是宿舍生活带来的好处。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.(就在六个月前，我告别了高中生活，现在我是一名大学新生。然而，我的高中生活的记忆是如此的新鲜，我觉得好像就在昨天。)”以及全文内容可知，本文作者是一名大学生，在介绍自己刚刚过去的高三生活，文章最有可能出现在一个大学作文网站上。故选C项。

My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts (烟头) for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.
At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray (烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our boomtown--in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!
Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.
At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America
Now there are even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we have done. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better an cleaner place for animals, plants and people.
One day, it will be.
28. What did the writer think about the cigarette butts
A. They made the town smelly. B. They made the town dirty.
C. They made the town tidy. D. They made the town unique.
29. What did they do to stop people dropping butts
A. They picked up the cigarette butts.
B. They stopped people buying cigarettes.
C. They gave ashtrays to the smokers.
D. They drew pictures of town scenery.
30. What can we learn about the text
A. No companies wanted to support them.
B. There are only 45 “No Butts About It” groups.
C. Alice and I like to be on newspapers and win prizes.
D. They believe the Earth will be better and cleaner.
31. What can be the best tide for the text

Last week, Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”. People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring.
Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.
This month, about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there.
There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.
32. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week
A. Because people wanted to save money.
B. Because people liked the dark night.
C. Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise.
D. Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way.
33. What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese
A. move to a new place B. stay at the same place
C. sleep in winter D. lay eggs
34. Today we have fewer birds because ________.
A. lots of birds are often ill B. people kill lots of birds
C. there are fewer places for birds D. other animals eat them
35. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. All birds fly to warmer places every year.
B. Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn.
C. Some birds can fly a long way to other countries.
D. About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了芝加哥为了帮助鸟类进入它们的冬眠家园，成为美国第一个加入“熄灯计划”的城市，详细地介绍了鸟类迁徙的原因和面临的问题等。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.”（人们关掉了城市最高建筑的灯，这样成千上万的鸟就可以回到它们的冬天的家。）和第二段中“Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.(高楼上的灯光太亮了，鸟儿可能会误以为是星星。这意味着他们找不到回家的路)”可知，人们关掉在城市的高楼的灯光，是为了使成千上万的鸟儿能够找到回家的路，即他们担心鸟儿会迷路。故选D项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries.”（有些鸟能飞很长的路。有时他们飞往其他国家）可以猜测出划线单词migrate为“迁徙”的意思，与A项move to a new place“搬到一个新的地方”，意思一致。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.”（我们今天的鸟类更少了，因为鸟类栖息的地方更少了。）可知，今天我们的鸟儿更少，是因为留给鸟类栖息的地方少了。故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate.”（世界上大约有9000种鸟类，大约有600种鸟类迁徙。）可知，并不是所有的鸟类都要迁徙的，只有部分是迁徙的，所以A选项的陈述是错误的。故选A项。

【40题详解】
空格处是本段的主题句，由空后的“Communicating through social media, video chats, email or other technological means can be a great way for your loved one to stay in touch with friends and family members.(通过社交媒体、视频聊天、电子邮件或其他技术手段交流，对你所爱的人来说是与朋友和家人保持联系的好方法。)”可知，本段主要讲的是利用科技手段来与人接触，B选项“Encourage connection via technology.(鼓励通过技术建立联系。)”说明了要鼓励老年人通过技术与他人建立联系，因此概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选B。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：10月18日，世界各国领导人齐聚北京，参加一个引人注目的论坛，庆祝“一带一路”倡议提出十周年。由空后的序数词tenth可知，设空处应该用定冠词。故填the。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意：论坛被认为对“一带一路”建设至关重要。空后important为形容词，应该用副词修饰形容词。故填extremely。
【58题详解】
考查时态。句意：中国国家主席习近平在开幕式上致辞。根据句子结构和上下文语境，陈述过去事情，设空处为谓语动词的过去式。故填gave。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他还宣布了中国为支持“一带一路”高质量合作将采取的八大举措，包括绿色发展和科技进步等。设空处用不定式表示目的。故填to support。
【60题详解】

【61题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：到目前为止，“一带一路”倡议已成为世界上规模最大的国际合作平台。结合句意，表示“最大的”，用形容词最高级形式。故填largest。

【65题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：毫无疑问，“一带一路”倡议在未来将继续在世界上发挥其重大作用。There is no doubt that …意为“毫无疑问”，that引导同位语从句，对doubt的内容进行说明，在句中只起连接作用，不作任何句子成分，无词汇意义。故填that。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成一篇完整的短文。
Long long ago, there lived a girl named Eat. She was a good girl, but she never liked her name because all the kids made fun of her name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, so Eat never really had friends. She played alone all the time.
One day, Eat went to her favorite place near the river behind her house, where she always spoke to the river. On that day, when talking to the river, she said, “You are so lucky, as you can travel to different places and always be with your friends — ducks, turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t be alone anymore.”
When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stones and tried to skip (打水漂) them across the river. However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfect stone. She held it tightly (紧紧地) in her fingers, and said to the river, “Oh, dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish for a dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Eat waved her arm back and threw the stone with full strength.
She watched the stone skip once, twice... and to her surprise, the stone went on skipping and finally, on the seventh skip, made it across the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Eat was totally amazed. She could not just believe her eyes.
Her happiness were disturbed (打断) when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Eat looked around and found a little girl was rolling down towards her. Eat hurried to get up to help. However, she lost her balance and fell off, too.
The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Eat pulled herself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding (流血). She said gently to the little girl, “It will be alright. My house is nearby, let me help you. My mother will take care of the wound.”

Paragraph 2:
The little girl looked at Eat and asked, “What is your name ”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Once they arrived at her house, Eat called out, “Mom, help! Someone is injured”. On hearing this, Eat’s mother came quickly with the first-aid box. She made the little girl sit on the sofa and started cleaning the wound. She cleaned her knee, applied medicine to the wound, and wrapped it with bandages, which made the girl relaxed. She then asked the girl where she lived. The girl replied that she had just moved here. All the houses looked so similar that she mixed them up. Eat was surprised and felt a bit of joy, thinking about her wish.
Paragraph 2:
The little girl looked at Eat and asked, “What is your name ” Eat froze and was scared to tell her name. However, Eat’s mother replied, “Her name is Eat and I am glad she could help you.” On hearing this, the little girl began to laugh. Eat felt sad and was near to tears. Just then, the girl stopped laughing and sincerely apologized, “I am sorry, but it is so funny as my name happens to be Run.” Eat was surprised and almost broke into laughter herself. Her wish for the river had come true, and now she had a very good friend named Run.

I waved goodbye to my senior high school life just six months ago and now I am a college freshman. However, my memory of high school life is so fresh that I feel as if it were only yesterday.
My senior high school is called Yantai No. 1 Middle School with a long history, which can date back to 1931. When I recall my memorable high school life, I feel blissful and impressed.
To be honest, my senior high school life was very tiring but I really enjoyed it. I was asked to put study in the first place all the time by both my parents and my teachers. At that time, I got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to bed late in order to have more study time to review what I had learned in the day. In addition to study, I also took part in some activities like English speech contests, calligraphy competitions and so on.
Our class was like a big family. I got along well with my classmates. We always discussed issues of all kinds after class. I made many friends in the family and we still keep in touch with each other after we graduated. Luckily, my teachers were also very enthusiastic and friendly. We were seen as their children. They not only taught us knowledge but told us how to do better.
What’s more, dormitory life is also worth mentioning. Living far away from my home, I became quite independent by the end of the first semester at senior high. My roommates and I worked as a team to do some cleaning every day. We had a good time living as a family together, and my social skills were gradually improved.
This is my high school life, busy but fulfilling. I will never forget it.

My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts (烟头) for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.
At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray (烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our boomtown--in parks, by beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!
Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays to give to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didn’t have to drop butts.
At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America
Now there are even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we have done. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better an cleaner place for animals, plants and people.
One day, it will be.

Last week, Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”. People turned off the lights in the city’s tallest buildings, so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes. Every year in autumn, some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south, and come back the next spring.
Lights mean danger to birds. Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky. Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars. This means they cannot find the right way to go home.
This month, about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter. Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons. Many birds cannot live in the cold, so they fly to warmer places. But there are other reasons, too. Birds need to look for food in the south. Another reason is that they want to have baby birds. Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year, so they fly back there.
There are about 9,000 kinds of birds in the world, and about 600 kinds of birds migrate. Some birds can fly a very long way. Sometimes they fly to other countries. We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.
32. Why did people in Chicago turn off their lights last week
A. Because people wanted to save money.
B. Because people liked the dark night.
C. Because people were a afraid that birds would make much noise.
D. Because people were a afraid that birds would lose their way.
33. What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese
A. move to a new place B. stay at the same place
C. sleep in winter D. lay eggs
34. Today we have fewer birds because ________.
A. lots of birds are often ill B. people kill lots of birds
C. there are fewer places for birds D. other animals eat them
35. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. All birds fly to warmer places every year.
B. Some birds have to fly to warmer places in autumn.
C. Some birds can fly a long way to other countries.
D About 600 kinds of birds migrate in the world.

Long long ago, there lived a girl named Eat. She was a good girl, but she never liked her name because all the kids made fun of her name. She ran away from everybody who laughed at her name, so Eat never really had friends. She played alone all the time.
One day, Eat went to her favorite place near the river behind her house, where she always spoke to the river. On that day, when talking to the river, she said, “You are so lucky, as you can travel to different places and always be with your friends — ducks, turtles, fishes, and plants. I wish I had more friends and wouldn’t be alone anymore.”
When she was bored talking to the river, she picked up some stones and tried to skip (打水漂) them across the river. However, she failed most of the time. Finally, she found a perfect stone. She held it tightly (紧紧地) in her fingers, and said to the river, “Oh, dear river, if I could skip this stone all the way across, I would wish for a dear friend just like you.” Saying this, Eat waved her arm back and threw the stone with full strength.
She watched the stone skip once, twice... and to her surprise, the stone went on skipping and finally, on the seventh skip, made it across the river onto the shore of the opposite side. Eat was totally amazed. She could not just believe her eyes.
Her happiness were disturbed (打断) when she heard footsteps coming towards her. Eat looked around and found a little girl was rolling down towards her. Eat hurried to get up to help. However, she lost her balance and fell off, too.
The little girl was crying and holding her knee. Eat pulled herself and went close to the girl, whose knee was bleeding (流血). She said gently to the little girl, “It will be alright. My house is nearby, let me help you. My mother will take care of the wound.”
注意：
