Take the following rail routes and feast your eyes with impressive views.
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling, India
Built by British rulers, the railway was used to transport tea, rice and other produce up and down the Himalayan foothills. Today, it’s a hit with Indian families on weekend breaks and rail fans keen to watch traffic slowly stop as the train crosses the road, rushing past fruit stalls within arm’s reach. On a clear day, passengers will be treated to views of Mount Kanchenjunga, its snowy peak turning peach in the late-afternoon light.
Qinghai-Xizang Railway
Xining to Lhasa, China
Connecting Xining in Qinghai province to Lhasa in Xizang, this 22-hour journey is the highest rail route in the world. Lakes shine like molten metal and yaks (牦牛) eat grass up the slopes before the light chills to a blue glow from the icy sides of the Kunlun Mountains closing in around the carriages.
The Skeena
Jasper to Prince Rupert, Canada
With the ice-glazed tops of the Canadian Rockies sparkling all around it, the train curls out of Alberta past the Rockies’ highest peak-the majestic Mount Robson-followed by the Cariboo Mountains, at the foot of which lie green lakes as still as glass. From a panoramic view, passengers can keep eyes on black and grizzly bears, white-tailed deer, elk and moose, as well as bald eagles diving through the air.
Bernina Express
Chur, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy
Short but very sweet, a journey on the Bernina Express takes four hours to wind its way from the city of Chur in the Swiss Alps down to the Italian city of Tirano. Running on a narrow track that includes 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, the train swings around pine-filled valleys and vertical rock faces.
1. Where should you go for the world’s highest railway
A. India. B. China. C. Canada. D. Italy.
2. Which route can give passengers a nice view of various animals
A. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. B. Qinghai-Xizang Railway.
C. The Skeena. D. Bernina Express.
3. What do the four routes have in common
A. They are newly built. B. They cover a long journey.
C. They are high-speed railways. D. They go past high mountains.
B
It only takes one wrong step near a lake in the winter for disaster to happen. Pepper, the dog and his mom found that out the hard way.
The two of them were taking a morning walk in Chicago along Lake Michigan when Pepper, a 7-year-old dog, got free of its rope, slipped on some rocks, and fell onto the ice sheets of the lake. As Pepper tried to climb back up to his human owner, the ice around him broke, and he began floating (漂浮) away!
Since the water was so cold, Pepper should be saved as soon as possible. As Fire Deputy District Chief Jason Lach said, hypothermia (a serious medical condition caused by very low temperature) can start within several minutes. Thankfully, firefighters were already nearby practicing underwater ice dives.
Just 10 minutes later, 40 rescue (救援) workers arrived, along with fire department vehicles and a helicopter. By the time the officials in the helicopter noticed Pepper, he and his ice float were 500 feet out into the lake. Firefighter Chris Iverson dove into the water and swam out to Pepper. Chris calmed the dog down and tied him to a safety sling (吊索). Meanwhile, firefighter Emerson Branch swam out with a rapid deployment craft, which he and Chris used to bring Pepper safely to shore. The rescue only took about 15 minutes. When the firefighters reached dry land with Pepper, they dried him using a towel and played the pass-the-dog to get him back to his human owner.
Caretakers at Veterinary Emergency Group Hospital made sure Pepper was OK. But Jason hopes his rescue will be a lesson for others. “The dog was good, warmed up to its owner, and went on its happy way,” Jason said. “But stay off the ice. It’s never safe, …Step into a hole, and you’re out of sight.”
4. What happened to Pepper one morning
A. He lost his owner. B. He was trapped in a lake.
C. He got missing suddenly. D. He was covered by ice sheets.
5. What seemed to be the first danger to Pepper
A. The cold water. B. Poor medical conditions.
C. Rescue equipment shortage. D. The changeable temperature.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. The rescue lasted about an hour. B. Pepper got to the shore alone.
C. The rescue was highly effective. D. Pepper reacted calmly all the time.
7. What is Jason’s suggestion
A. No going near the ice. B. No walking dogs by a hole.
C. Taking good care of pets. D. Warming up well before exercise.
C
Two hours of screen time a day is enough to “dumb down” children or result in depression or physical illness, a global study has found.
The global study analyzed data measuring screen time, physical activity, mental health indicators and physical illness reported by 577, 000 children aged 11, 13 and 15 from 42 rich countries. It found that screen time—not including school work—averaged 6. 3 hours for boys and 5. 4 hours for girls.
The Australian-led study shows girls experience unhealthiness after just two hours watching screens including television, social media or online gaming. However, boys are more likely to be physically active, they can safely spend twice as much time on screens each day before suffering health problems.
Dr Khan said too much time spent watching TV, gaming or on social media could lead to “reduced learning abilities”. “If you spend more time on screens you are likely not to do well in your study performance.”
“We also found there were some benefits during the first hour of daily screen use, but bad effects on mental health kick in after 75 minutes in girls and 105 minutes in boys,” Dr Khan said. The solution to mental health the study found was an hour of physical activity, and no more than two hours a day using screens, apart from schoolwork. That is to say, children need to balance screen time with “green time” outdoors. Children who exercise or play outdoors regularly are healthier and happier, the study shows.
Melbourne dad, Tom Hindhaugh, said he tried to reduce screen time for his son, Patrick, 13. “Clearly we need those screens for homeschooling. Technology is the necessary way kids can communicate and hang out with each other,” he said. “But we need to get children outside and moving. Physical activity is the key for their health, whether it’s walking, riding a bike or kicking the football.”
8. What does the study focus on about children
A. Their screen time. B. Their health habits.
C. Their gender difference. D. Their school performance.
9. What can be learned from the study
A. Boys perform no better in study than girls.
B. Boys are better at physical activity than girls.
C. Girls spend more time on school work than boys.
D. Girls are more likely to suffer ill-health than boys.
10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. The balance of school work. B. The proper time of daily screens.
C. The advantage of green time. D. The necessity of regular activities.
11. Why is Melbourne dad mentioned
A. To express parents’ concern. B. To show a successful example.
C. To support the writer’s opinion. D. To present an education method.
D
There is a new kind of robot called Rubion which can smartly tell ripe (成熟的) strawberries, picking them without bruising them and putting them into its basket. It sounds impossible but it is true. Its appearance is not only an answer to the labor shortage in the agricultural industry, but it also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce, which in the end benefits the consumer.
It has been a fact that the labor shortage in the agricultural industry. But for Octinion Technology the focus is clearly on adding quality. “Thanks to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available—these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower”, says Tom Coen, CEO of the Octinion Technology Group. “The consumer will also notice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and show less bruising.”
Introducing robots into an industry where almost everything gets done by hand is more of a revolution (变革) than evolution. It needs close group action with all partners. Tom Coen says, “Not only have we been working together with growers and test centers across the world for the past few years, but breeders (培育者) have been active in being part of the technological developments.”
In 2022, a team of Belgian engineers started the development of the robot. In the meanwhile Octinion wasn’t the only company presenting an idea. Product Manager Laura Guillaume says it’s not a surprise that the company from Leuven is the first to actually present a commercial product. “By developing the robot from the beginning, we are able to make it practical in greenhouses or tunnels.” Octinion plans to develop harvesting robots for other crops in the future.
12. What does the underlined word “bruising” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Taking advantage of. B. Losing track of.
C. Having a bad effect on. D. Making no harm to.
13. What can the robot help a grower do
A. Find a close partner. B. Pick a skilled worker.
C. Make a market survey. D. Fix a right harvest time.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the robot’s introduction
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Worried.
15 What can be the best title for the text
A. Robots Can Solve Labour Shortage B. Robots Can Create Many Possibilities
C. Harvesting Methods Are Worth Improving D. Modern Agriculture Needs New Equipment

“Who did this ” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done but also what our teacher may have found out. “Who did this ” asked my teacher once more. She wasn't really asking, she was demanding an answer. She seldom became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I had not done it on purpose. It was caused by an errant (失手的) throw of a baseball. I was working on my baseball. It needed more work. Why did it have to be me It wasn't really my fault. To be honest, I was the poor guy with the bad luck. Hundreds of terrible results came across my mind. If I admitted the guilt (罪过), I would be in lots of huge trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn't even get enough pocket money. “My father is going to get angry with me,” I thought, “even he will give me a lesson.” I was not willing to raise my hand at all, but there seemed something mysterious to force me to put it up. I told the truth. “I did it.” I said no more. It was hard enough saying what I had done.
My teacher went to one of our library shelves and took down a brand-new book about sports. She then began walking straight towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me and she was going to use that book to do that.

It only takes one wrong step near a lake in the winter for disaster to happen. Pepper, the dog and his mom found that out the hard way.
The two of them were taking a morning walk in Chicago along Lake Michigan when Pepper, a 7-year-old dog, got free of its rope, slipped on some rocks, and fell onto the ice sheets of the lake. As Pepper tried to climb back up to his human owner, the ice around him broke, and he began floating (漂浮) away!
Since the water was so cold, Pepper should be saved as soon as possible. As Fire Deputy District Chief Jason Lach said, hypothermia (a serious medical condition caused by very low temperature) can start within several minutes. Thankfully, firefighters were already nearby practicing underwater ice dives.
Just 10 minutes later, 40 rescue (救援) workers arrived, along with fire department vehicles and a helicopter. By the time the officials in the helicopter noticed Pepper, he and his ice float were 500 feet out into the lake. Firefighter Chris Iverson dove into the water and swam out to Pepper. Chris calmed the dog down and tied him to a safety sling (吊索). Meanwhile, firefighter Emerson Branch swam out with a rapid deployment craft, which he and Chris used to bring Pepper safely to shore. The rescue only took about 15 minutes. When the firefighters reached dry land with Pepper, they dried him using a towel and played the pass-the-dog to get him back to his human owner.
Caretakers at Veterinary Emergency Group Hospital made sure Pepper was OK. But Jason hopes his rescue will be a lesson for others. “The dog was good, warmed up to its owner, and went on its happy way,” Jason said. “But stay off the ice. It’s never safe, …Step into a hole, and you’re out of sight.”
4. What happened to Pepper one morning
A. He lost his owner. B. He was trapped in a lake.
C. He got missing suddenly. D. He was covered by ice sheets.
5. What seemed to be the first danger to Pepper
A. The cold water. B. Poor medical conditions.
C. Rescue equipment shortage. D. The changeable temperature.
6. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. The rescue lasted about an hour. B. Pepper got to the shore alone.
C. The rescue was highly effective. D. Pepper reacted calmly all the time.
7. What is Jason’s suggestion
A. No going near the ice. B. No walking dogs by a hole.
C. Taking good care of pets. D. Warming up well before exercise.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The two of them were taking a morning walk in Chicago along Lake Michigan when Pepper, a 7-year-old dog, got free of its rope, slipped on some rocks, and fell onto the ice sheets of the lake. As Pepper tried to climb back up to his human owner, the ice around him broke, and he began floating (漂浮) away!(他们俩早上在芝加哥沿着密歇根湖散步时，7岁的狗狗Pepper挣脱了绳子，在一些岩石上滑倒，掉进了湖的冰盖上。当Pepper试图爬回它的人类主人身边时，它周围的冰破裂了，它开始飘走!)”可知，Pepper挣脱了绳子，在岩石上滑倒，掉进了密歇根湖的冰层上。因此，他被困在湖里。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Since the water was so cold, Pepper should be saved as soon as possible. As Fire Deputy District Chief Jason Lach said, hypothermia (a serious medical condition caused by very low temperature) can start within several minutes.(因为水太冷了，Pepper应该尽快获救。正如消防副区长杰森·拉赫所说，体温过低(一种由极低温度引起的严重疾病)可以在几分钟内开始)”可知，由于水非常冷，Pepper需要尽快被救出。因此，他面临的第一个危险是冷水。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Just 10 minutes later, 40 rescue (救援) workers arrived, along with fire department vehicles and a helicopter. By the time the officials in the helicopter noticed Pepper, he and his ice float were 500 feet out into the lake. Firefighter Chris Iverson dove into the water and swam out to Pepper. Chris calmed the dog down and tied him to a safety sling (吊索). Meanwhile, firefighter Emerson Branch swam out with a rapid deployment craft, which he and Chris used to bring Pepper safely to shore. The rescue only took about 15 minutes. When the firefighters reached dry land with Pepper, they dried him using a towel and played the pass-the-dog to get him back to his human owner.(仅仅10分钟后，40名救援人员赶到，同时赶到的还有消防车和一架直升机。当直升机上的工作人员注意到Pepper的时候，他和他的浮冰已经离湖500英尺了。消防员克里斯·艾弗森跳入水中，游向Pepper。克里斯让狗安静下来，把它拴在安全吊带上。与此同时，消防员艾默生·布兰奇(Emerson Branch)带着一艘快速部署艇游了出来，他和克里斯用这艘船把Pepper安全带到了岸边。救援只花了大约15分钟。当消防队员带着Pepper到达干燥的陆地时，他们用毛巾把它擦干，然后扮演传递狗的角色，把它送回它的主人身边)”可知，救援只花了大约15分钟，所以营救非常有效。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Caretakers at Veterinary Emergency Group Hospital made sure Pepper was OK. But Jason hopes his rescue will be a lesson for others. “The dog was good, warmed up to its owner, and went on its happy way,” Jason said. “But stay off the ice. It’s never safe, …Step into a hole, and you’re out of sight.”(兽医急救医院的看护人员确认了Pepper的情况。但Jason希望这次救援能给其他人带来教训。“狗狗状态良好，回到主人身边取暖，然后继续开心地玩耍去了，”Jason说。“但要远离冰面，那从来都不安全……一旦踏入冰洞，你就可能消失不见。”)”可知，Jason强调了冰上的危险性，并建议人们“不要靠近冰，它从来都不安全”。这是他对这次救援事件的教训总结，也是他对公众的安全建议。故选A项。
C
Two hours of screen time a day is enough to “dumb down” children or result in depression or physical illness, a global study has found.
The global study analyzed data measuring screen time, physical activity, mental health indicators and physical illness reported by 577, 000 children aged 11, 13 and 15 from 42 rich countries. It found that screen time—not including school work—averaged 6. 3 hours for boys and 5. 4 hours for girls.
The Australian-led study shows girls experience unhealthiness after just two hours watching screens including television, social media or online gaming. However, boys are more likely to be physically active, they can safely spend twice as much time on screens each day before suffering health problems.
Dr Khan said too much time spent watching TV, gaming or on social media could lead to “reduced learning abilities”. “If you spend more time on screens you are likely not to do well in your study performance.”
“We also found there were some benefits during the first hour of daily screen use, but bad effects on mental health kick in after 75 minutes in girls and 105 minutes in boys,” Dr Khan said. The solution to mental health the study found was an hour of physical activity, and no more than two hours a day using screens, apart from schoolwork. That is to say, children need to balance screen time with “green time” outdoors. Children who exercise or play outdoors regularly are healthier and happier, the study shows.
Melbourne dad, Tom Hindhaugh, said he tried to reduce screen time for his son, Patrick, 13. “Clearly we need those screens for homeschooling. Technology is the necessary way kids can communicate and hang out with each other,” he said. “But we need to get children outside and moving. Physical activity is the key for their health, whether it’s walking, riding a bike or kicking the football.”
8. What does the study focus on about children
A. Their screen time. B. Their health habits.
C. Their gender difference. D. Their school performance.
9. What can be learned from the study
A. Boys perform no better in study than girls.
B. Boys are better at physical activity than girls.
C. Girls spend more time on school work than boys.
D. Girls are more likely to suffer ill-health than boys.
10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. The balance of school work. B. The proper time of daily screens.
C. The advantage of green time. D. The necessity of regular activities.
11. Why is Melbourne dad mentioned
A. To express parents’ concern. B. To show a successful example.
C. To support the writer’s opinion. D. To present an education method.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章基于一项全球性的研究，讨论了儿童每天面对屏幕的时间对其身心健康的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Two hours of screen time a day is enough to “dumb down” children or result in depression or physical illness, a global study has found.(一项全球研究发现，每天看两小时屏幕足以让孩子“变笨”，或导致抑郁或身体疾病)”可知，这项研究关注儿童屏幕时间。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The Australian-led study shows girls experience unhealthiness after just two hours watching screens including television, social media or online gaming. However, boys are more likely to be physically active, they can safely spend twice as much time on screens each day before suffering health problems.(这项由澳大利亚主导的研究表明，女孩在看电视、社交媒体或在线游戏两小时后就会出现不健康状况。然而，男孩更有可能进行身体活动，他们可以安全地每天花两倍的时间在屏幕上，而不会出现健康问题)”可知，能从这项研究中了解到在同样的屏幕时间条件下，女孩比男孩更容易患疾病。故选D项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段““We also found there were some benefits during the first hour of daily screen use, but bad effects on mental health kick in after 75 minutes in girls and 105 minutes in boys,” Dr Khan said. The solution to mental health the study found was an hour of physical activity, and no more than two hours a day using screens, apart from schoolwork. That is to say, children need to balance screen time with “green time” outdoors. Children who exercise or play outdoors regularly are healthier and happier, the study shows.(汗博士说：“我们还发现，每天看屏幕的第一个小时会有一些好处，但女孩看屏幕75分钟、男孩看屏幕105分钟后，对心理健康的不良影响就会显现出来。”研究发现，心理健康的解决方案是每天锻炼一小时，除了功课，使用屏幕的时间不超过两小时。也就是说，孩子们需要平衡屏幕时间和户外“绿色时间”。研究显示，经常在户外运动或玩耍的孩子更健康、更快乐)”可知，本段主要讲述了每天看屏幕的适当时间。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“The solution to mental health the study found was an hour of physical activity, and no more than two hours a day using screens, apart from schoolwork. That is to say, children need to balance screen time with “green time” outdoors. Children who exercise or play outdoors regularly are healthier and happier, the study shows.(研究发现，心理健康的解决方案是每天锻炼一小时，除了功课，使用屏幕的时间不超过两小时。也就是说，孩子们需要平衡屏幕时间和户外“绿色时间”。研究显示，经常在户外运动或玩耍的孩子更健康、更快乐)”和最后一段“Melbourne dad, Tom Hindhaugh, said he tried to reduce screen time for his son, Patrick, 13. “Clearly we need those screens for homeschooling. Technology is the necessary way kids can communicate and hang out with each other,” he said. “But we need to get children outside and moving. Physical activity is the key for their health, whether it' walking, riding a bike or kicking the football.”(墨尔本一位名叫汤姆·欣德豪的父亲说，他试图减少儿子13岁的帕特里克看屏幕的时间。“显然，我们在家上学需要这些屏幕。科技是孩子们相互交流和闲逛的必要方式，”他说。“但我们需要让孩子们出去活动。体育活动是他们健康的关键，无论是散步、骑自行车还是踢足球。”)”推知，此处提到墨尔本爸爸是为了支持上文作者提出的观点。故C项。
D
There is a new kind of robot called Rubion which can smartly tell ripe (成熟的) strawberries, picking them without bruising them and putting them into its basket. It sounds impossible but it is true. Its appearance is not only an answer to the labor shortage in the agricultural industry, but it also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce, which in the end benefits the consumer.
It has been a fact that the labor shortage in the agricultural industry. But for Octinion Technology the focus is clearly on adding quality. “Thanks to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available—these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower”, says Tom Coen, CEO of the Octinion Technology Group. “The consumer will also notice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and show less bruising.”
Introducing robots into an industry where almost everything gets done by hand is more of a revolution (变革) than evolution. It needs close group action with all partners. Tom Coen says, “Not only have we been working together with growers and test centers across the world for the past few years, but breeders (培育者) have been active in being part of the technological developments.”
In 2022 a team of Belgian engineers started the development of the robot. In the meanwhile Octinion wasn’t the only company presenting an idea. Product Manager Laura Guillaume says it’s not a surprise that the company from Leuven is the first to actually present a commercial product. “By developing the robot from the beginning, we are able to make it practical in greenhouses or tunnels.” Octinion plans to develop harvesting robots for other crops in the future.
12. What does the underlined word “bruising” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Taking advantage of. B. Losing track of.
C. Having a bad effect on. D. Making no harm to.
13. What can the robot help a grower do
A. Find a close partner. B. Pick a skilled worker.
C. Make a market survey. D. Fix a right harvest time.
14. What is the author’s attitude to the robot’s introduction
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Worried.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Robots Can Solve Labour Shortage B. Robots Can Create Many Possibilities
C. Harvesting Methods Are Worth Improving D. Modern Agriculture Needs New Equipment
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种名为Rubion的新型机器人，它能够智能地识别成熟的草莓，采摘时不会损伤草莓，并将其放入篮子中。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“which can smartly tell ripe (成熟的) strawberries, picking them(它可以聪明地识别成熟的草莓)”和后文“but it also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce(而且还使种植者能够提高产品的质量)”可知，机器人能识别成熟的时间且能帮助种植者提高产品质量。因此猜测它能完好的摘取草莓，推知bruising应是“损伤”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Thanks to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available—these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower”, says Tom Coen, CEO of the Octinion Technology Group.(“多亏了机器人，我们有了这么多的可能性，远远超过了人类所能做的。收成预测、根据市场需求采摘、在浆果成熟的时候采摘而不是等到有工人的时候采摘——这些只是种植者现在可以做到的一些例子。”Octinion技术集团的首席执行官Tom Coen说)”可知，机器人能根据市场需求采摘、在浆果成熟的时候采摘，即能确定一个合适的收获时间。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Introducing robots into an industry where almost everything gets done by hand is more of a revolution (变革) than evolution.(将机器人引入一个几乎所有工作都由手工完成的行业与其说是进化，不如说是一场革命)”可知，作者认为将机器人引入农业是一场革命，所以是支持的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is a new kind of robot called Rubion which can smartly tell ripe (成熟的) strawberries, picking them without bruising them and putting them into its basket. It sounds impossible but it is true. Its appearance is not only an answer to the labor shortage in the agricultural industry, but it also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce, which in the end benefits the consumer.(有一种叫做Rubion的新型机器人，它可以聪明地识别成熟的草莓，在不碰伤的情况下采摘草莓，然后把它们放进篮子里。这听起来不可能，但却是真的。它的出现不仅解决了农业劳动力短缺的问题，而且还使种植者能够提高产品的质量，最终使消费者受益)”可知，本文主要讲述了Rubion这样的机器人引入农业领域为种植者带来了许多新的可能性，包括提高作物质量、增加效率、解决劳动力短缺问题以及惠及消费者。所以B项“Robots Can Create Many Possibilities(机器人可以创造许多可能性)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。

(根据最近的一项研究，大多数人坚信很多想象力已经消失了。)”及下文“Everyone has imagination, but most of us forget how to make use of it once we become older and older. (每个人都有想象力，但是一旦我们变得越来越老，我们中的大多数人就会忘记如何利用它。)”可知，大多数人认为他们想象力已经消失，但是实际上，这个观点是错误的，多数人只是随着年龄的增长忘记了如何利用想象力。B选项“In fact, they are mistaken.(事实上，他们错了。)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
上文“Creativity isn’t always concerned with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time typically think of creative ways to solve problems.(创造力并不总是与伟大的艺术作品或想法有关。人们在工作和空闲时间通常会想出创造性的方法来解决问题。)”指出创造力并不总是与伟大的艺术作品或想法有关，人们在工作和生活中会想出创造性的办法解决问题；结合第二段主旨句“Make connections.(建立联系)”、第三段主旨句“Set no limits.(不要设限)”以及第四段中的第5小题设空处可知，下文提出了如何三个激发想象力的方法；E选项“Here are some ways to fire your imagination.(这里有一些方法可以激发你的想象力。)”能够总领下文，符合语境。故选E。

由主旨句“Make connections.(建立联系)”以及下文“Then find an image, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas associated with candles and then connect the ideas with the job you have to do.(然后找一个图像，比如一支蜡烛。写下所有与蜡烛有关的想法，然后将这些想法与你要做的工作联系起来。)”可知，此处通过举例来阐述建立联系的步骤，设空处为第一步，由“then connect the ideas with the job you have to do”可知第一步要先考虑一下自己要做的工作；F选项“Think about the problem to solve or the job to do.(考虑要解决的问题或要做的工作。)”符合语境；选项中的“the job to do”与下文中的“the job you have to do”相呼应。故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“Set no limits. Imagine that normal limitations do not exist. (不要设限。想象正常的限制不存在。)”指出不要给自己设限，想象正常的限制不存在；下文“If your aim is to learn to ski, for instance, you can now practice skiing every day. Now apply this to reality.(例如，如果你的目标是学习滑雪，你现在可以每天练习滑雪。现在把它应用到现实中。)”举例说明可以结合自己所设定的目标开始实施行动；因此，首先要不给自己设限，思考自己的新的目标；选项G“Consider your goal and the new possibilities carefully.(仔细考虑你的目标和新的可能性。)”符合语境。故选G。
【20题详解】
文章结构分析，设空处为本段主旨句；由下文“Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good writers always use this technique. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions. As an old saying goes, the best fishermen think like fish!(从不同的角度看问题。优秀的作家总是使用这种技巧。小说作家常常把自己想象成书中的人物。如果你的目标涉及到其他人，设身处地地为他们着想。正如一句老话所说，最好的渔夫像鱼一样思考!)”可知，本段主要讲述的是把自己想象成别人，从他人的角度思考问题；A选项“Be someone else.(成为别人！)”建议把自己想象成别人，能够概括本段大意，适合作为主旨句。故选A。

第二节 读后续写（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。
“Who did this ” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. “Who did this ” asked my teacher once more. She wasn't really asking, she was demanding an answer. She seldom became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I had not done it on purpose. It was caused by an errant (失手的) throw of a baseball. I was working on my baseball. It needed more work. Why did it have to be me It wasn't really my fault. To be honest, I was the poor guy with the bad luck. Hundreds of terrible results came across my mind. If I admitted the guilt (罪过), I would be in lots of huge trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn't even get enough pocket money. “My father is going to get angry with me,” I thought, “even he will give me a lesson.” I was not willing to raise my hand at all, but there seemed something mysterious to force me to put it up. I told the truth. “I did it.” I said no more. It was hard enough saying what I had done.
My teacher went to one of our library shelves and took down a brand-new book about sports. She then began walking straight towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me and she was going to use that book to do that.
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。
Paragraph 1
“I know how you like baseball, so this book is for you.” she said as she stood looking down at my guilty face.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
What she did was really beyond my expectation!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
“I know how you like baseball, so this book is for you.” she said as she stood looking down at my guilty face. “Here is that book about sport that you are always checking out. It is yours.” Hearing this, I lowered my head, wondering whether she was teasing me. As I was expecting a storm of criticism, she continued, “Anyway it’s time we got a new one for the school. The book is yours and you will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you because you told the truth.”
Paragraph 2
What she did was really beyond my expectation! I wasn’t being punished for breaking the window and I was getting my very own sport book which I loved so much that I could hardly put it down when I picked it up. You can imagine the mixed feelings of guilt and joy I had at that moment. The book is now gone, so is my wonderful teacher. All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me---honesty is the best policy.
