一、阅读理解
At this selection of five museums, more French will be heard and visitors might feel a sense of satisfaction when knowing they have arrived at a place that native Parisians also enjoy when going on a trip.
Museum of Natural History
Being a must-see spot in the museum at present, the Grand Gallery of Evolution dates back to the 1880s. Originally playing as a zoology building, it reopened to the public in 1994 after decades of ignorance. The entire museum displays more than 9,000 preserved animals and insects.
Museum of Music
The museum’s collection covers centuries of European classical music and instruments, with decorated pianos and hundreds of horns and string instruments. Live performances take place in the galleries of the museum every day. The museum provides two versions of its English-language audio guide, one for children and the other for adults.
Fairground Art Museum
At this museum, guides describe the history of Europe’s traveling fairs and explain signs that identify the origin of the country with a carousel horse. Reserve your tickets in advance on the museum’s website. Tours in French are offered several days a week all year round, and English-language tours are offered in the summer months.
Museum of Arts and Crafts
It was founded during the French Revolution to show its advanced science and technologies and has since received constant updates. Early planes, including the first to cross the English Channel, hang from the ceiling of one building. The collection has a huge range, with antique cars, early engines and elements (元素) used in the construction of the Statue of Liberty.
Museum of Magic
Each visit to this museum begins with a short performance of simple tricks, followed by a guided tour of the magic tools and objects on display in those 16th-century basements. This tour currently takes place in French, so English-speaking visitors may want to explore on their own with the help of English-language guidebooks available at the entrance.
1．What do we know about the Grand Gallery of Evolution
A. It was once inaccessible to the public.
B. It was first built around 30 years ago.
C. It studies all kinds of wildlife in nature.
D. It shows several thousand plant species.
2．What suggestion is given to visitors to the Fairground Art Museum
A. Choose a proper guide for your travel.
B. Learn some French before your travel.
C. Know the history of France in advance.
D. Book tickets beforehand at proper time.
3．What can we infer about the Museum of Arts and Crafts
A. It keeps many old collections.
B. It still keeps its original look.
C. It only provides French-speaking guides.
D. It’s a museum about magic tools and objects.
Are your childhood memories closely connected with cycling Perhaps you even remember the pride in getting your first bike on your birthday, complete with streamers (装饰彩纸条) coming out of the handlebars, and the excitement of coasting down the tallest hill in town When we were children, biking gave us independence, a sense of self, adventure and excitement, but city biking poses challenges to us when we are adults.
Obviously, biking brings a number of benefits to the riders, but why aren’t there more bikers on city roads Goodordering, a company that designs bags to suit modern active lifestyles, conducted a survey and found out that the number one factor preventing people from biking to work was the realization of road safety”—sharing the road with cars can be dangerous.
Omar Bakhshi, a UK-based developer, experienced this first-hand. A car brushed against him while he was cycling, leaving him with an injury that impacted his taste and smell for life. Bakhshi realized what happened to him wasn’t unusual. Because bikers often experience close encounters (相撞) with cars, Bakhshi set out to make the roads safer for urban cyclists to use.
His company, Tether, is launching a small sensor that goes on a bike’s handlebars. As the biker rides through the city, the device projects (投影) a “safety zone” of lights onto the pavement. The hope is that these lights will force car drivers to sit up and pay attention to the rules of sharing the road. If cars get too close to the biker’s personal space, the lights will start shining.
What makes Bakhsh’s device different from similar devices on the market is its smart features. Tether’s device collects data from close encounters with cars and then the data is organized into a central database. The data can be accessed by bikers to determine which streets are safer for cyclists and choose a route to avoid areas that have a large number of close encounters with cars.
4．How does the author lead readers to the topic
A. By introducing an exciting biking trip.
B. By comparing the past and the present.
C. By describing his favorite exercise in cities.
D. By listing some popular birthday gifts for children.
5．What can we say about Omar Bakhshi according to Paragraph 3
A. He stressed the importance of teamwork.
B. His company faced a lot of challenges at first.
C. He was advised by many bikers to develop a cycling device.
D. His biking experience inspired him to improve cycling safety.
6．How does Tether’s device work
A. It guides the biker and warns car drivers.
B. It reduces the harm caused by an accident.
C. It enables car drivers to see traffic lights clearly.
D. It reminds the biker to share special lanes with other bikers.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Cycling Makes A Better World
B. Road Safety Problems in The UK
C. A Man Has Realized His Childhood Dream.
D. New Technology Improves Your Cycling Safety
For centuries, people in Baltic nations have used ancient amber (琥珀) for medical purposes. Even today, babies are given amber necklaces to help relieve teething pain, and people put the amber powder in some medicines for its special effects.
Now, scientists have found substances (物质) that help explain amber’s medical effects and that could lead to new medicines to fight antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) diseases. Each year in the US, at least 2.8 million people get antibiotic-resistant diseases, leading to around 35,000deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We knew from previous research that there were substances in Baltic amber that might lead to new antibiotics, but they had not been systematically explored,” says Elizabeth Ambrose, the main investigator of the project. “We have now identified several substances in Baltic amber that show activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”
Ambrose’s interest originally came from her Baltic heritage. While visiting her family in Lithuania, she collected some amber and heard stories about its medical uses. Ambrose and a graduate student Connor McDermott, who is at the University of Minnesota, analyzed commercially available Baltic amber samples, in addition to some that Ambrose had collected.
“One major challenge was getting a fine powder from the amber,” McDermott explains. Through trial and error, he finally got it. Then some substances were identified. Because these .substances are difficult to deal with, the researchers bought pure samples and sent them to a company that tested their activity against nine bacterial species, some of which are known to be antibiotic-resistant. “The most important finding is that these substances are active against gram-positive bacteria,” McDermott says.
“Moving forward with these results makes us elated,” Ambrose says. “Some newly discovered substances are probably the source of new medicines, especially for treating diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria, which are increasingly becoming resistant to known antibiotics.” As scientists study the active properties of other traditional medicines from around the world, it’ll be great to see other findings.
8．What’s the finding of the new study
A. Medical effects of amber lack scientific bases.
B. Amber can be used for curing some mental illnesses.
C. Antibiotic-resistant diseases have caused many deaths.
D. Substances in amber can help fight drug-resistant bacteria.
9．What caused Ambrose to conduct the research on amber
A. A cultural exchange program at college.
B. The success of former amber researchers.
C. The traditional belief in its medical value.
D. Her determination to contribute to medicine.
10．Why did the researchers turn to a company
A. To acquire better amber.
B. To seek technical support.
C. To raise funds for their research.
D. To mass-produce their new medicine.
11．What does the underlined word “elated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Confused. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
Tsunamis are one of the most terrifying natural phenomena that the world suffers. The series of waves generated by the displacement (位移) of a large volume of water can be caused by several events, including earthquakes, underwater explosions and landslides. Once triggered (引发), a tsunami can hit the coast within minutes and its destructive power can be enormous.
At present, early warning systems rely on measuring the movement of dart buoys (浮标), which record changes in the sea level, or assessing the bottom water pressure of the developing tsunami. But they require the tsunami to physically reach the measurement location. The buoys could be fixed in the deep ocean, but this requires an unrealistically big number of buoys. Or people can fix the buoys along the shoreline, but due to the high speed of the tsunami, this method may leave no warning time for people on the land.
Instead, there is a new system — using sound waves to predict tsunamis. Sound waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction in which the tsunami will travel. The sound signals come from changes in pressure, so what we actually analyze is a series of data on how the pressure is changing over time. Though buoys also show changes in pressure, the tsunami front must actually reach the buoys to inform us that there is an increase in the water surface. By using underwater microphones, however, we only need to catch the sound signals.
Though the idea of using sound waves to predict tsunamis has been put forward previously, the key to our idea is a new mathematical method that can be used to analyze these recorded sound signals in near real-time. Once this is worked out, we can not only warn people of a tsunami but also more accurately estimate its size long before it reaches the shoreline.
12．From Paragraph 1, we know ______.
A. what can trigger off tsunamis
B. how to predict tsunamis effectively
C. why tsunamis are the worst natural disaster
D. how to protect the coastal areas from tsunamis
13．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The dart buoys. B. The changes in the sea level.
C. The changes in water pressure. D. The present early warning systems.
14．What can we infer about the new warning system from Paragraph 3
A. It has high accuracy. B. It can increase warning time.
C. It can monitor changeable sea levels. D. It can adapt to various water wave conditions.
15．In which column of a newspaper may the passage appear
A. Survival Stories. B. Disaster Rescue. C. Scientific Invention. D. Natural Environment.
二、七选五

六、读后续写
34．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the telephone rang in the police station that day, no one there imagined they would receive an unusual call. Most calls reported illegal actions or emergencies, but this one was quite different.
“Hello,” a woman said in a weak voice. “I wonder if you can help me. I can’t leave the house, and I haven’t eaten for three days.” The operator was surprised but he asked for her name and address, and soon two police officers, Steve and Garret, were sent to deal with the case.
To their surprise, the address took them to a beautiful house with a big garden in a pricey neighborhood. Steve and Garret began to think the call might be a trick. With doubts, they rang the doorbell. After quite a while, a tiny old woman opened the door, with a bandage (绷带) roughly wrapped around her left arm.
Later, they knew the woman called Hilda Ross fell off a ladder (梯子) and that her left arm was injured. When asked why she didn’t go to the hospital, she said, “It’s just a sprain (扭伤). The only problem is that it hurts so much that I can hardly walk to the store to buy food. I didn’t ask neighbors for help since I just moved in weeks ago, neither knowing anyone nor having any friends here. My son David lives with me, but he’s on a business trip and won’t be back soon. So I had to look after myself. I didn’t tell my son about my situation because he just started a new job. I didn’t want to worry him.”
Clearly, Mrs Ross was very weak. So Steve and Garret offered to drive her to the hospital, but she refused, saying she didn’t want to trouble them so much and that she just hoped they could help her get some food with her money. However, they insisted on taking her to the hospital.
注意：
1.续写词数应为80左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, Mrs Ross agreed.

15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Instead, there is a new system — using sound waves to predict tsunamis. Sound waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction in which the tsunami will travel.(取而代之的是一种新的系统——利用声波来预测海啸。地震引起的声波传播速度比引发的海啸快得多。使用标准的水下麦克风，我们可以在海啸到来之前很久就记录下这些声波，而不管海啸将向哪个方向移动。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是一种利用声波来预测海啸的新的方法，因此可以出现在报纸的灾难救援栏目。故选B。
16．答案：①-⑤EGDFB

32．答案：①are holding②living③activities④a⑤and⑥simply⑦To celebrate⑧official⑨more charming⑩which
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，世界上越来越多的国家都在庆祝中国的春节。由Nowadays可知，句子时态用现在进行时，主语countries是复数，因此空格处是are holding，故填are holding。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：另外，不仅居住在国外的中国公民参加和享受这些活动，而且许多其他国家的人也参加和享受这些活动。句中已有谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，Chinese citizens和live之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作定语，故填living。
③考查名词的复数。句意：购物中心多年来一直在组织庆祝中国春节的活动，而音乐会和其他表演也证明了巨大的成功。activity是可数名词，不止一个活动，因此空格处用复数。故填activities。
④考查冠词。句意：购物中心多年来一直在组织庆祝中国春节的活动，而音乐会和其他表演也证明了巨大的成功。success (成功的事物)是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，big是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
⑤考查连词。句意：圣彼得堡中国新年音乐会门票售罄，90%的观众是俄罗斯本地人。空格前后两句话是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此空格处用并列连词and表并列。故填and。
⑥考查副词。句意：人们也发现了与庆祝活动互动的乐趣，而不仅仅是作为观众的一部分观看。空格处用副词作状语修饰动词watching，simple的副词是simply，意为“仅仅”，故填simply。
⑦考查非谓语动词。句意：为了庆祝这个节日，1000多名加纳初中学生上台表演中国歌曲和舞蹈。根据语境可知，句子表示“为了庆祝这个节日，1000多名加纳初中学生上台表演中国歌曲和舞蹈”，空格处用不定式表目的，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填To celebrate。
⑧考查形容词。句意：与此同时，自2016年以来，纽约市的学生已经能够享受中国春节的官方假期。空格处用形容词作定语，office的形容词是official，意为“官方的”，故填official。
⑨考查比较级。句意：春节比世界上任何一个节日都更有魅力，它正在成为一个全球性的欢乐和爱的庆祝活动。由than可知，空格处用形容词比较级more charming作表语，故填more charming。
⑩考查定语从句。句意：春节比世界上任何一个节日都更有魅力，它正在成为一个全球性的欢乐和爱的庆祝活动。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词The Spring Festival是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。

一、阅读理解
At this selection of five museums, more French will be heard and visitors might feel a sense of satisfaction when knowing they have arrived at a place that native Parisians also enjoy when going on a trip.
Museum of Natural History
Being a must-see spot in the museum at present, the Grand Gallery of Evolution dates back to the 1880s. Originally playing as a zoology building, it reopened to the public in 1994 after decades of ignorance. The entire museum displays more than 9,000 preserved animals and insects.
Museum of Music
The museum’s collection covers centuries of European classical music and instruments, with decorated pianos and hundreds of horns and string instruments. Live performances take place in the galleries of the museum every day. The museum provides two versions of its English-language audio guide, one for children and the other for adults.
Fairground Art Museum
At this museum, guides describe the history of Europe’s traveling fairs and explain signs that identify the origin of the country with a carousel horse. Reserve your tickets in advance on the museum’s website. Tours in French are offered several days a week all year round, and English-language tours are offered in the summer months.
Museum of Arts and Crafts
It was founded during the French Revolution to show its advanced science and technologies and has since received constant updates. Early planes, including the first to cross the English Channel, hang from the ceiling of one building. The collection has a huge range, with antique cars, early engines and elements (元素) used in the construction of the Statue of Liberty.
Museum of Magic
Each visit to this museum begins with a short performance of simple tricks, followed by a guided tour of the magic tools and objects on display in those 16th-century basements. This tour currently takes place in French, so English-speaking visitors may want to explore on their own with the help of English-language guidebooks available at the entrance.
1．What do we know about the Grand Gallery of Evolution
A. It was once inaccessible to the public.
B. It was first built around 30 years ago.
C. It studies all kinds of wildlife in nature.
D. It shows several thousand plant species.
2．What suggestion is given to visitors to the Fairground Art Museum
A. Choose a proper guide for your travel.

C. Know the history of France in advance.
D. Book tickets beforehand at proper time.
3．What can we infer about the Museum of Arts and Crafts

C. It only provides French-speaking guides.
D. It’s a museum about magic tools and objects.
Are your childhood memories closely connected with cycling Perhaps you even remember the pride in getting your first bike on your birthday, complete with streamers (装饰彩纸条) coming out of the handlebars, and the excitement of coasting down the tallest hill in town When we were children, biking gave us independence, a sense of self, adventure and excitement, but city biking poses challenges to us when we are adults.
Obviously, biking brings a number of benefits to the riders, but why aren’t there more bikers on city roads Goodordering, a company that designs bags to suit modern active lifestyles, conducted a survey and found out that the number one factor preventing people from biking to work was the realization of road safety”—sharing the road with cars can be dangerous.
Omar Bakhshi, a UK-based developer, experienced this first-hand. A car brushed against him while he was cycling, leaving him with an injury that impacted his taste and smell for life. Bakhshi realized what happened to him wasn’t unusual. Because bikers often experience close encounters (相撞) with cars, Bakhshi set out to make the roads safer for urban cyclists to use.
His company, Tether, is launching a small sensor that goes on a bike’s handlebars. As the biker rides through the city, the device projects (投影) a “safety zone” of lights onto the pavement. The hope is that these lights will force car drivers to sit up and pay attention to the rules of sharing the road. If cars get too close to the biker’s personal space, the lights will start shining.
What makes Bakhsh’s device different from similar devices on the market is its smart features. Tether’s device collects data from close encounters with cars and then the data is organized into a central database. The data can be accessed by bikers to determine which streets are safer for cyclists and choose a route to avoid areas that have a large number of close encounters with cars.
4．How does the author lead readers to the topic
A. By introducing an exciting biking trip.
B. By comparing the past and the present.
C. By describing his favorite exercise in cities.
D. By listing some popular birthday gifts for children.
5．What can we say about Omar Bakhshi according to Paragraph 3
A. He stressed the importance of teamwork.
B. His company faced a lot of challenges at first.
C. He was advised by many bikers to develop a cycling device.
D. His biking experience inspired him to improve cycling safety.
6．How does Tether’s device work
A. It guides the biker and warns car drivers.
B. It reduces the harm caused by an accident.
C. It enables car drivers to see traffic lights clearly.
D. It reminds the biker to share special lanes with other bikers.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Cycling Makes A Better World
B. Road Safety Problems in The UK
C. A Man Has Realized His Childhood Dream.
D. New Technology Improves Your Cycling Safety
For centuries, people in Baltic nations have used ancient amber (琥珀) for medical purposes. Even today, babies are given amber necklaces to help relieve teething pain, and people put the amber powder in some medicines for its special effects.
Now, scientists have found substances (物质) that help explain amber’s medical effects and that could lead to new medicines to fight antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) diseases. Each year in the US, at least 2.8 million people get antibiotic-resistant diseases, leading to around 35,000deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We knew from previous research that there were substances in Baltic amber that might lead to new antibiotics, but they had not been systematically explored,” says Elizabeth Ambrose, the main investigator of the project. “We have now identified several substances in Baltic amber that show activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”
Ambrose’s interest originally came from her Baltic heritage. While visiting her family in Lithuania, she collected some amber and heard stories about its medical uses. Ambrose and a graduate student Connor McDermott, who is at the University of Minnesota, analyzed commercially available Baltic amber samples, in addition to some that Ambrose had collected.
“One major challenge was getting a fine powder from the amber,” McDermott explains. Through trial and error, he finally got it. Then some substances were identified. Because these .substances are difficult to deal with, the researchers bought pure samples and sent them to a company that tested their activity against nine bacterial species, some of which are known to be antibiotic-resistant. “The most important finding is that these substances are active against gram-positive bacteria,” McDermott says.
“Moving forward with these results makes us elated,” Ambrose says. “Some newly discovered substances are probably the source of new medicines, especially for treating diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria, which are increasingly becoming resistant to known antibiotics.” As scientists study the active properties of other traditional medicines from around the world, it’ll be great to see other findings.
8．What’s the finding of the new study
A. Medical effects of amber lack scientific bases.
B. Amber can be used for curing some mental illnesses.
C. Antibiotic-resistant diseases have caused many deaths.
D. Substances in amber can help fight drug-resistant bacteria.
9．What caused Ambrose to conduct the research on amber
A. A cultural exchange program at college.
B. The success of former amber researchers.
C. The traditional belief in its medical value.
D. Her determination to contribute to medicine.
10．Why did the researchers turn to a company
A. To acquire better amber.
B. To seek technical support.
C. To raise funds for their research.
D. To mass-produce their new medicine.
11．What does the underlined word “elated” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Confused. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
Tsunamis are one of the most terrifying natural phenomena that the world suffers. The series of waves generated by the displacement (位移) of a large volume of water can be caused by several events, including earthquakes, underwater explosions and landslides. Once triggered (引发), a tsunami can hit the coast within minutes and its destructive power can be enormous.
At present, early warning systems rely on measuring the movement of dart buoys (浮标), which record changes in the sea level, or assessing the bottom water pressure of the developing tsunami. But they require the tsunami to physically reach the measurement location. The buoys could be fixed in the deep ocean, but this requires an unrealistically big number of buoys. Or people can fix the buoys along the shoreline, but due to the high speed of the tsunami, this method may leave no warning time for people on the land.
Instead, there is a new system — using sound waves to predict tsunamis. Sound waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction in which the tsunami will travel. The sound signals come from changes in pressure, so what we actually analyze is a series of data on how the pressure is changing over time. Though buoys also show changes in pressure, the tsunami front must actually reach the buoys to inform us that there is an increase in the water surface. By using underwater microphones, however, we only need to catch the sound signals.
Though the idea of using sound waves to predict tsunamis has been put forward previously, the key to our idea is a new mathematical method that can be used to analyze these recorded sound signals in near real-time. Once this is worked out, we can not only warn people of a tsunami but also more accurately estimate its size long before it reaches the shoreline.
12．From Paragraph 1, we know ______.
A. what can trigger off tsunamis
B. how to predict tsunamis effectively
C. why tsunamis are the worst natural disaster
D. how to protect the coastal areas from tsunamis
13．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The dart buoys. B. The changes in the sea level.
C. The changes in water pressure. D. The present early warning systems.
14．What can we infer about the new warning system from Paragraph 3
A. It has high accuracy. B. It can increase warning time.
C. It can monitor changeable sea levels. D. It can adapt to various water wave conditions.
15．In which column of a newspaper may the passage appear
A. Survival Stories. B. Disaster Rescue. C. Scientific Invention. D. Natural Environment.

六、读后续写
34．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When the telephone rang in the police station that day, no one there imagined they would receive an unusual call. Most calls reported illegal actions or emergencies, but this one was quite different.
“Hello,” a woman said in a weak voice. “I wonder if you can help me. I can’t leave the house, and I haven’t eaten for three days.” The operator was surprised but he asked for her name and address, and soon two police officers, Steve and Garret, were sent to deal with the case.
To their surprise, the address took them to a beautiful house with a big garden in a pricey neighborhood. Steve and Garret began to think the call might be a trick. With doubts, they rang the doorbell. After quite a while, a tiny old woman opened the door, with a bandage (绷带) roughly wrapped around her left arm.
Later, they knew the woman called Hilda Ross fell off a ladder (梯子) and that her left arm was injured. When asked why she didn’t go to the hospital, she said, “It’s just a sprain (扭伤). The only problem is that it hurts so much that I can hardly walk to the store to buy food. I didn’t ask neighbors for help since I just moved in weeks ago, neither knowing anyone nor having any friends here. My son David lives with me, but he’s on a business trip and won’t be back soon. So I had to look after myself. I didn’t tell my son about my situation because he just started a new job. I didn’t want to worry him.”
Clearly, Mrs Ross was very weak. So Steve and Garret offered to drive her to the hospital, but she refused, saying she didn’t want to trouble them so much and that she just hoped they could help her get some food with her money. However, they insisted on taking her to the hospital.
注意：
1.续写词数应为80左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, Mrs Ross agreed.

7．答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“His company, Tether, is launching a small sensor that goes on a bike’s handlebars. As the biker rides through the city, the device projects (投影) a “safety zone” of lights onto the pavement. The hope is that these lights will force car drivers to sit up and pay attention to the rules of sharing the road. If cars get too close to the biker’s personal space, the lights will start shining.(他的公司Tether正在推出一款安装在自行车车把上的小型传感器。当骑自行车的人在城市中骑行时，该装置会在人行道上投射出一个“安全地带”的灯光。他们希望这些信号灯能迫使汽车司机坐直身体，注意共享道路的规则。如果汽车太靠近骑自行车的人的私人空间，灯就会亮起来。)”以及最后一段“Tether’s device collects data from close encounters with cars and then the data is organized into a central database. The data can be accessed by bikers to determine which streets are safer for cyclists and choose a route to avoid areas that have a large number of close encounters with cars.(Tether的设备从与汽车的近距离接触中收集数据，然后将数据组织到一个中央数据库中。骑自行车的人可以访问这些数据，以确定哪些街道对骑自行车的人更安全，并选择一条路线，避开与汽车有大量近距离接触的区域。)”可知，文章主要介绍了Tether推出的一款安装在自行车车把上的小型传感器，该传感器可以帮助人们的骑行更安全。故选D。
8．答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Now, scientists have found substances (物质) that help explain amber’s medical effects and that could lead to new medicines to fight antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) diseases.(现在，科学家们已经发现了一些物质，可以帮助解释琥珀的医学作用，并可能导致对抗抗生素耐药性疾病的新药。)”以及““We knew from previous research that there were substances in Baltic amber that might lead to new antibiotics, but they had not been systematically explored,” says Elizabeth Ambrose, the main investigator of the project. “We have now identified several substances in Baltic amber that show activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”(“我们从之前的研究中知道，波罗的海琥珀中有可能导致新型抗生素的物质，但它们还没有被系统地探索过，”该项目的主要研究者Elizabeth Ambrose说。“我们现在已经在波罗的海琥珀中发现了几种对抗生素耐药细菌有活性的物质。”)”可知，科学家们在琥珀中发现了几种对抗生素耐药细菌有活性的物质，换句话说，琥珀中的物质可以帮助对抗耐药细菌。故选D。
9．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Ambrose’s interest originally came from her Baltic heritage. While visiting her family in Lithuania, she collected some amber and heard stories about its medical uses. Ambrose and a graduate student Connor McDermott, who is at the University of Minnesota, analyzed commercially available Baltic amber samples, in addition to some that Ambrose had collected.( Ambrose的兴趣最初来自她的波罗的海血统。在立陶宛探亲时，她收集了一些琥珀，并听到了关于琥珀医疗用途的故事。Ambrose和明尼苏达大学的研究生Connor McDermott分析了市售的波罗的海琥珀样本，以及Ambrose收集的一些样本。)”可知，Ambrose在立陶宛探亲时，听到了关于琥珀医疗用途的故事，即对其医学价值的传统信仰，这激励了Ambrose对琥珀进行研究。故选C。
10．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段““One major challenge was getting a fine powder from the amber,” McDermott explains. Through trial and error, he finally got it. Then some substances were identified. Because these substances are difficult to deal with, the researchers bought pure samples and sent them to a company that tested their activity against nine bacterial species, some of which are known to be antibiotic-resistant.( McDermott解释说：“一个主要的挑战是从琥珀中提取细粉末。经过反复试验，他终于弄明白了。然后确定了一些物质。由于这些物质难以处理，研究人员购买了纯样品，并将其送到一家公司，测试了它们对九种细菌的活性，其中一些已知具有抗生素耐药性。”)”可知，他们向一家公司求助是因为从琥珀中提取的一些物质难以处理，也就是向这家公司寻求技术支持。故选B。
11．答案：C
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文““Some newly discovered substances are probably the source of new medicines, especially for treating diseases caused by gram-positive bacteria, which are increasingly becoming resistant to known antibiotics.” As scientists study the active properties of other traditional medicines from around the world, it’ll be great to see other findings.(“一些新发现的物质可能是新药的来源，特别是用于治疗革兰氏阳性细菌引起的疾病，革兰氏阳性细菌对已知抗生素的耐药性越来越强。”当科学家们研究来自世界各地的其他传统药物的活性特性时，看到其他的发现将会很好。)”可知，这项发现对于治疗革兰氏阳性细菌引起的疾病有很多的帮助，由此可知，取得这些成果科学家们会感到“兴奋、高兴”。选项A“Confused(困惑的)”；选项B“Anxious(焦虑的)”；选项C“Excited(兴奋的)”；选项D“Disappointed(失望的)”。故选C。

13．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据第二段“At present, early warning systems rely on measuring the movement of dart buoys (浮标), which record changes in the sea level, or assessing the bottom water pressure of the developing tsunami. But they require the tsunami to physically reach the measurement location.(目前，早期预警系统依赖于测量记录海平面变化的浮标的运动，或者评估正在形成的海啸的底部水压。但它们需要海啸到达测量地点。)”可知，they指代的是现有的早期预警系统，故选D。
14．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction in which the tsunami will travel.(使用标准的水下麦克风，我们可以在海啸到来之前很久就记录下这些声波，而不管海啸将向哪个方向移动。)”可知，新的警告系统可以增加预警时间。故选B。
15．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Instead, there is a new system — using sound waves to predict tsunamis. Sound waves caused by an earthquake can travel much faster than the tsunami that has been triggered. Using standard underwater microphones, we can record these sound waves long before the tsunami arrives regardless of the direction in which the tsunami will travel.(取而代之的是一种新的系统——利用声波来预测海啸。地震引起的声波传播速度比引发的海啸快得多。使用标准的水下麦克风，我们可以在海啸到来之前很久就记录下这些声波，而不管海啸将向哪个方向移动。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是一种利用声波来预测海啸的新的方法，因此可以出现在报纸的灾难救援栏目。故选B。

32．答案：①are holding②living③activities④a⑤and⑥simply⑦To celebrate⑧official⑨more charming⑩which
解析：①考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，世界上越来越多的国家都在庆祝中国的春节。由Nowadays可知，句子时态用现在进行时，主语countries是复数，因此空格处是are holding，故填are holding。
②考查非谓语动词。句意：另外，不仅居住在国外的中国公民参加和享受这些活动，而且许多其他国家的人也参加和享受这些活动。句中已有谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，Chinese citizens和live之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作定语，故填living。
③考查名词的复数。句意：购物中心多年来一直在组织庆祝中国春节的活动，而音乐会和其他表演也证明了巨大的成功。activity是可数名词，不止一个活动，因此空格处用复数。故填activities。
④考查冠词。句意：购物中心多年来一直在组织庆祝中国春节的活动，而音乐会和其他表演也证明了巨大的成功。success (成功的事物)是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，big是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。

⑩考查定语从句。句意：春节比世界上任何一个节日都更有魅力，它正在成为一个全球性的欢乐和爱的庆祝活动。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词The Spring Festival是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。
