One cold morning in early 2015, Lauren Passell was on her way to work. Suddenly, she fell down on the sidewalk. As she tried to stand up, a stranger appeared from the crowd and knelt (跪下) beside her.
The woman introduced herself as Sharon Evans. As Evans helped Passell up, all Passell could think about was that she needed to get to work. But she was in terrible pain, and could hardly stand. Seeing this, Evans told Passell to stay still while she called a taxi.
“And I said, ‘No, you don’t have to do that. I’m sure you have places to be, I can do it.’ And honestly, the second time she said, ‘No, I’m getting you a taxi’ I thought, ‘Oh, thank you. I don’t think I can do this alone.’ ”
Once the taxi arrived, Evans got in with her. Passell tried to tell her that it wasn’t necessary. But Evans stuck to it. Once again, Passel was secretly relieved (如释重负) to have Evans’ help.
Evans didn’t just go to the hospital with Passell. She helped her fill out the paperwork, and even took Passell to the bathroom. Each time, Passell tried to advise Evans to leave, to get to work. And each time, Evans refused.
Once it was time for Passell to be seen by doctors, Evans left. It turned out that Passell’s condition was serious. The doctors told her she needed to have an operation (手术) — if not, she could have died due to the blood clots.
Passell not only recovered (恢复), but ran a half marathon the next year. “I might’ve died if Sharon hadn’t shown so much kindness. So thank you, Sharon, for saving my life. And I hope one day I can pick someone off the sidewalk, just like you did for me.”

C. She talked with her friend. D. She fell down and hurt herself.

She helped her fill out the paperwork, and even took Passell to the bathroom.(Evans不只是和Passell一起去了医院。她帮她填写了文件，甚至带Passell去了洗手间)”可知，Sharon Evans在路上救助了陌生人Lauren Passell，不要任何回报，由此可以推断Sharon Evans是善良和助人为乐的。故选C。

Dan Scarfe, the boss of a new company that has found a way to unlock conversation for deaf people, says the idea hit him over Christmas with his family last year.
Scarfe’s grandfather was 97 years old with hearing problems, so he had great trouble communicating with others in the family. This inspired (激励) Scarfe to find a solution so that his grandfather could “talk” with others. “My grandfather either sits in silence or watches TV all the time with subtitles (字幕),” said Scarfe.
Now, just six months later, his company, with the help of Augmented Reality Classes, has invented XRAI Glasses.
The XRAI Glasses are connected to a mobile phone. Our software receives a sound from the microphone on these glasses and sends it down to the phone. Then the phone turns the sound into subtitles. Finally the deaf people can understand it.
“As a deaf person myself, I think it brings us much convenience,” said Steve Crump, Founder and Chair, DeafKidz International. “When I tried on the glasses, the real time subtitles make me join others in their “talk”. I have never done it before. It’s perfect”.
Though XRAI Glasses haves been considered by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People as a game changer with the ability to change lives, the invention is not without its disadvantages. It can’t understand group conversations well when many people talk together. Scarfe said, “we are doing research to make the glasses serve deaf people better. Hopefully, they are available (上市) by September”.
8. What inspired Dan Scarfe to invent the XRAI glasses
A. Hoping to change the world. B. Noticing his grandpa’s condition.
C. Seeing many deaf people around him. D. Believing it as a way to make money.
9. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4
A. Where the XRAI Glasses are made. B. What the XRAI Glasses look like.
C. Why the ARAI glasses are popular. D. How the ARAI glasses work.
10. How did Steve Crump feel when trying on the XRAI glasses
A. Annoyed. B. Anxious. C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.
11. What do we know about the XRAI glasses
A. The XRAI glasses still need improvements.
B. The XRAI glasses are available to customers.
C. The XRAI glasses deal with group talking well.
D. The XRAI glasses can only be tested by the elderly.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述一家公司发明了XRAI眼镜，帮助聋哑人开启“对话”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Scarfe’s grandfather was 97 years old with hearing problems, so he had great trouble communicating with others in the family. This inspired (激励) Scarfe to find a solution so that his grandfather could ‘talk’ with others.(Scarfe的祖父97岁了，有听力问题，所以他和家里的其他人交流有很大的困难。这激发了Scarfe去寻找一个解决办法，这样他的祖父就可以和别人‘交谈’了)”可知，当Searfe看到 97岁的有听力问题的祖父很难与家里其他人交流时，这激发了他找一个解决方案，这样他的祖父就可以和其他人“交谈”。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The XRAI Glasses are connected to a mobile phone. Our software receives a sound from the microphone on these glasses and sends it down to the phone. Then the phone turns the sound into subtitles. Finally the deaf people can understand it.(XRAI眼镜与手机相连。我们的软件从眼镜上的麦克风接收声音并将其发送到手机上。然后手机会把声音转换成字幕。最终聋哑人能够理解)”可知，本段主要介绍将手机和XRAI眼镜连接，从而达到帮助聋哑人与他们“交谈”的目的。所以这一段话主要介绍XRAI眼镜的工作原理。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段话中“As a deaf person myself, I think it brings us much convenience(作为一名聋人，我认为它给我们带来了很多便利)”和“When I tried on the glasses, the real time subtitles make me join others in their ‘talk’. I have never done it before. It’s perfect(当我戴上这款眼镜时，实时字幕让我加入到其他人的‘谈话’中。我以前从来没有做过。它是完美的)”可知，Steve Crump很满意于XRAI眼镜。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段话中的“the invention is not without its disadvantages. It can’t understand group conversations well when many people talk together. Scarfe said, ‘we are doing research to make the glasses serve deaf people better.(但这项发明并非没有缺点。当很多人在一起说话时，它不能很好地理解小组对话。Scarfe说：‘我们正在进行研究，使眼镜更好地为聋哑人服务)”可知，XRAI眼镜不能很好地理解集体对话，所以他们正在进行研究，以使眼镜更好地为聋人服务，从而推断：XRAI眼镜仍然需要改进。故选A。
D
Every year, about 25, 000 plastic tents are thrown away after festivals in the Netherlands. That’s enough tents to get you from base camp to the top of Everest (珠穆朗玛) if you set up a tent every metre of the way. These plastic tent not only cause a lot of pollution to the environment, but they also have to be dealt with.
Into this situation stepped the KarTent. It’s a good solution to the plastic tent problem. The KarTent is a cardboard (纸板) tent. It is put up for you at the beginning of the festival and when the festival is over, the makers pick it up, take it away and recycle it into other products. No more plastic, no more waste. The production of one KarTent produces half the CO2 of a plastic tent. In the past, about thirty different materials were used to produce a tent. It may take hundreds of years to biodegrade (降解) the materials. However, to produce a KarTent, only one material is needed. It’s cardboard.
The tent is the brainchild of three Dutch businessmen: Jan Portheine, Wout Kommer, and Timo Krenn. After working on a cardboard beach hut, architect Jan started to look for other ways to use the skills he had learned, “In a meeting I met Wout and we found pictures of tents being left behind at festivals, and that’s how the idea started.”
Perhaps next time you’re at a festival you won’t have to look out across the sea of plastic, instead you’ll see the cardboard tents being neatly put into a truck and taken away to be recycled.
12. Why is Everest mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To compare the Netherlands with it. B. To introduce a famous place for us to visit.
C. To offer the wonderful place to put up tents. D. To show the pollution caused by plastic tents.
13. What is KarTent made of
A. Plastic. B. Wood. C. Cardboard. D. Glass.
14. Who should be responsible for the recycle of a KarTent
A. The campers themselves. B. The makers of the tents.
C. The workers of festivals. D. The inventors of the tents.
15. What does the underlined word “brainchild” in the third paragraph mean
A. A creative idea. B. A kind of illness.
C. A clever child. D. A special experience.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了解决塑料帐篷污染的好办法——KarTent。它由纸板制成，在节日开始的时候为使用者准备好，当节日结束的时候，制造商把它捡起来，带走，再循环利用到其他产品中。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Every year, about 25, 000 plastic tents are thrown away after festivals in the Netherlands. That’s enough tents to get you from base camp to the top of Everest(珠穆朗玛) if you set up a tent every metre of the way.(在荷兰，每年大约有25000个塑料帐篷在节日结束后被扔掉。如果你每隔一米都搭一个帐篷，那么这些帐篷足够你从大本营到珠穆朗玛峰的顶峰了)”可知，如果你每隔一米就搭一个帐篷，25000个塑料帐篷足够把你从大本营带到珠穆朗玛峰峰顶，这样能形象地说明塑料帐篷带来了环境污染。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, to produce a KarTent, only one material is needed. It’s cardboard.(然而，生产KarTent只需要一种材料。这是纸板)”可知，制造 KarTent的唯一材料，就是纸板。故选C。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“we found pictures of tents being left behind at festivals, and that’s how the idea started(我们发现了一些在节日中被遗弃的帐篷的照片，这就是这个想法的起源)”中的idea可以推断，brainchild指“创新想法”。故选A。

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。
My brother Joe and I no longer live in the same state, but I make sure to give Joe a call every Christmas. In fact, I will never forget a Christmas when I was seven and Joe was five. I’ve kept a secret about that Christmas for 20 years. Now hearing Joe’s voice makes me feel guilty (内疚的) about it all over again. I think he probably doesn’t even remember it.
When we were kids, Joe almost drove me “crazy”! If Mom brought home my favorite yogurt, Joe would make sure to eat it before I got a chance. When our parents gave us each our own basketball, Joe insisted on playing with mine instead of his own.
That Christmas when I was seven, I was determined to teach him a lesson. At that time I was old enough that I no longer believed in Santa, but I knew Joe did. I couldn’t stand him thinking Santa had put him on the “nice” list when I knew he’d been naughty (淘气的) all year.
One day before Christmas, I put on my winter jacket and headed over to our neighbor’s backyard. It was filled with rocks. To me they really looked like coal (煤炭). I was sure that they’d look like coal to Joe too. I filled a lot of the rocks into the pockets of my winter jacket, brought them up to my room and hid them under my bed. Then I waited.
That morning, I got up early, went downstairs secretly and put the rocks into the red stocking with Joe’s name on it. I watched Joe take down his heavy stocking, lay it on the living room floor.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Looking at the gift inside, Joe’s smile disappeared suddenly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I said on the phone, “Hey, Joe, do you remember that Christmas morning when you were five …your stocking…”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Looking at the gift inside, Joe’s smile disappeared suddenly. His face turned red. He didn’t cry or complain. He stayed completely silent. He wouldn’t even look at anyone else in the room. As I watched, my own expectation turned to something like regret. Joe put his whole stocking aside, hiding it so our parents wouldn’t see how “Santa” had treated him. I’d never told anyone what I’d done. But it still troubled me, even all these years later. I must tell him the truth when I called him this Christmas.
I said on the phone, “Hey, Joe, do you remember that Christmas morning when you were five … your stocking…” Joe said, “Coal! Of course I remember! Wow, you really frightened me that time.” To my relief, my brother burst out laughing. “I was embarrassed!” he added. “I waited until everyone had left the room. Then I took the rocks outside. I didn’t want Mom and Dad to know I was naughty!” “I guess if either of us should get coal in a Christmas stocking that year it must be me,” I said. It felt so good to say it, even if Joe never mentioned it. It turned out Joe’s forgiveness — even all these years later — was the best stocking present I could have wished for.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小时候弟弟Joe总是“欺负”作者，于是作者决定在圣诞节时教训一下Joe，Joe对于圣诞老人深信不疑，作者把很多像煤炭的石头放进了Joe的长筒袜里。

One cold morning in early 2015, Lauren Passell was on her way to work. Suddenly, she fell down on the sidewalk. As she tried to stand up, a stranger appeared from the crowd and knelt (跪下) beside her.
The woman introduced herself as Sharon Evans. As Evans helped Passell up, all Passell could think about was that she needed to get to work. But she was in terrible pain, and could hardly stand. Seeing this, Evans told Passell to stay still while she called a taxi.
“And I said, ‘No, you don’t have to do that. I’m sure you have places to be, I can do it.’ And honestly, the second time she said, ‘No, I’m getting you a taxi’ I thought, ‘Oh, thank you. I don’t think I can do this alone.’ ”
Once the taxi arrived, Evans got in with her. Passell tried to tell her that it wasn’t necessary. But Evans stuck to it. Once again, Passel was secretly relieved (如释重负) to have Evans’ help.
Evans didn’t just go to the hospital with Passell. She helped her fill out the paperwork, and even took Passell to the bathroom. Each time, Passell tried to advise Evans to leave, to get to work. And each time, Evans refused.
Once it was time for Passell to be seen by doctors, Evans left. It turned out that Passell’s condition was serious. The doctors told her she needed to have an operation (手术) — if not, she could have died due to the blood clots.
Passell not only recovered (恢复), but ran a half marathon the next year. “I might’ve died if Sharon hadn’t shown so much kindness. So thank you, Sharon, for saving my life. And I hope one day I can pick someone off the sidewalk, just like you did for me.”

Dan Scarfe, the boss of a new company that has found a way to unlock conversation for deaf people, says the idea hit him over Christmas with his family last year.
Scarfe’s grandfather was 97 years old with hearing problems, so he had great trouble communicating with others in the family. This inspired (激励) Scarfe to find a solution so that his grandfather could “talk” with others. “My grandfather either sits in silence or watches TV all the time with subtitles (字幕),” said Scarfe.
Now, just six months later, his company, with the help of Augmented Reality Classes, has invented XRAI Glasses.
The XRAI Glasses are connected to a mobile phone Our software receives a sound from the microphone on these glasses and sends it down to the phone. Then the phone turns the sound into subtitles. Finally the deaf people can understand it.
“As a deaf person myself, I think it brings us much convenience,” said Steve Crump, Founder and Chair, DeafKidz International. “When I tried on the glasses, the real time subtitles make me join others in their “talk”. I have never done it before. It’s perfect”.
Though XRAI Glasses haves been considered by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People as a game changer with the ability to change lives, the invention is not without its disadvantages. It can’t understand group conversations well when many people talk together. Scarfe said, “we are doing research to make the glasses serve deaf people better. Hopefully, they are available (上市) by September”.
8. What inspired Dan Scarfe to invent the XRAI glasses
A. Hoping to change the world. B. Noticing his grandpa’s condition.
C. Seeing many deaf people around him. D. Believing it as a way to make money.
9. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4
A. Where the XRAI Glasses are made. B. What the XRAI Glasses look like.
C. Why the ARAI glasses are popular. D. How the ARAI glasses work.
10. How did Steve Crump feel when trying on the XRAI glasses
A. Annoyed. B. Anxious. C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.
11. What do we know about the XRAI glasses
A. The XRAI glasses still need improvements.
B. The XRAI glasses are available to customers.
C. The XRAI glasses deal with group talking well.
D. The XRAI glasses can only be tested by the elderly.

Every year, about 25, 000 plastic tents are thrown away after festivals in the Netherlands. That’s enough tents to get you from base camp to the top of Everest (珠穆朗玛) if you set up a tent every metre of the way. These plastic tent not only cause a lot of pollution to the environment, but they also have to be dealt with.
Into this situation stepped the KarTent. It’s a good solution to the plastic tent problem. The KarTent is a cardboard (纸板) tent. It is put up for you at the beginning of the festival and when the festival is over, the makers pick it up, take it away and recycle it into other products. No more plastic, no more waste. The production of one KarTent produces half the CO2 of a plastic tent. In the past, about thirty different materials were used to produce a tent. It may take hundreds of years to biodegrade (降解) the materials. However, to produce a KarTent, only one material is needed. It’s cardboard.
The tent is the brainchild of three Dutch businessmen: Jan Portheine Wout Kommer, and Timo Krenn. After working on a cardboard beach hut, architect Jan started to look for other ways to use the skills he had learned, “In a meeting I met Wout and we found pictures of tents being left behind at festivals, and that’s how the idea started.”
Perhaps next time you’re at a festival you won’t have to look out across the sea of plastic, instead you’ll see the cardboard tents being neatly put into a truck and taken away to be recycled.
12. Why is Everest mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To compare the Netherlands with it. B. To introduce a famous place for us to visit.
C. To offer the wonderful place to put up tents. D. To show the pollution caused by plastic tents.
13. What is KarTent made of
A Plastic. B. Wood. C. Cardboard. D. Glass.
14. Who should be responsible for the recycle of a KarTent
A. The campers themselves. B. The makers of the tents.
C. The workers of festivals. D. The inventors of the tents.
15. What does the underlined word “brainchild” in the third paragraph mean
A. A creative idea. B. A kind of illness.
C. A clever child. D. A special 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。
My brother Joe and I no longer live in the same state, but I make sure to give Joe a call every Christmas. In fact, I will never forget a Christmas when I was seven and Joe was five. I’ve kept a secret about that Christmas for 20 years. Now hearing Joe’s voice makes me feel guilty (内疚的) about it all over again. I think he probably doesn’t even remember it.
When we were kids, Joe almost drove me “crazy”! If Mom brought home my favorite yogurt, Joe would make sure to eat it before I got a chance. When our parents gave us each our own basketball, Joe insisted on playing with mine instead of his own.
That Christmas when I was seven, I was determined to teach him a lesson. At that time I was old enough that I no longer believed in Santa, but I knew Joe did. I couldn’t stand him thinking Santa had put him on the “nice” list when I knew he’d been naughty (淘气的) all year.
One day before Christmas, I put on my winter jacket and headed over to our neighbor’s backyard. It was filled with rocks. To me they really looked like coal (煤炭). I was sure that they’d look like coal to Joe too. I filled a lot of the rocks into the pockets of my winter jacket, brought them up to my room and hid them under my bed. Then I waited.
That morning, I got up early, went downstairs secretly and put the rocks into the red stocking with Joe’s name on it. I watched Joe take down his heavy stocking, lay it on the living room floor.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Looking at the gift inside, Joe’s smile disappeared suddenly.

I said on the phone, “Hey, Joe, do you remember that Christmas morning when you were five …your stocking…”
