I was talking to my friend Sandy about our children. Sandy had recently moved into the neighborhood with her four kids: Jane, Joe, Christopher, and her youngest, eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed happy to have kids nearby, until she saw our dog, Sam.
Sam, our shiny black dog, loved to play with the kids and protect them. But Sandy had a fear of dogs, and she started to back away as Sam approached. I grabbed Sam’s collar and made him sit, trying to ease Sandy’s discomfort.
Sandy mentioned that she needed to get her kids ready to go to their grandmother’s house. Just then, her door opened and her kids rushed out. Sandy shouted at them to stay away from Sam.
The kids huddled (蜷缩) around their mom, looking at Sam cautiously (谨慎地). Emma, my daughter, showed the kids how to approach a dog slowly and properly. The kids were won over by Sam’s friendly nature, but I knew it would take some time for Sandy to change her viewpoint.
After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn’t go near our neighbors without me present. One day, when the kids were playing across the street, I noticed the eighteen-month-old baby heading towards a small hill. I saw a car approaching and shouted to everyone to watch the baby. Without hesitation, Sam rushed out the door and ran across the street towards the baby. He ran to the boy in time to gently push the baby away from the oncoming car. The kids cheered, completely unaware of the danger. They thought Sam had come to play.

Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. ____19____.

【17题详解】
根据上文“Express more, explain less.(多表达，少解释)”以及后文“We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it.

This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall.(把段落限制在三句话以内。如果你要在文件或电子邮件中写下你的想法，试着把段落缩短到三句话或更少。这会让读者更容易理解你的观点，因为他们需要处理的内容更少。因为你写的是简短、直接的要点，而不是长篇幅的文章，你可能会发现自己写得不够全面)”可知，本段的建议是“把段落限制在三句话以内”，这是一种写作规则，本句为本段最后一句，说明这种写作规则的好处。故F选项“每个人都能从这个写作规则中受益”符合语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own, writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut.(听听你自己说的话。不管你对自己的文章复习了多少遍，写出来，听到它大声地说出来总能找出要删减的地方)”可知，上文提到了大声地阅读自己的文章，来找出需要删减的地方，G选项中read it aloud对应上文hearing it aloud。故G选项“你可以自己大声朗读来找出单词”符合语境，故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了10岁的熊谷久太在摔跤运动中的出色表现和他对摔跤的热爱以及他的训练情况。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：10岁的熊谷久太在所有参加比赛的年轻摔跤手中脱颖而出。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，空白处在定语从句中作主语指人，又因先行词被不定代词all修饰，所以使用关系代词that引导定语从句，故填that。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：他体重85公斤。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语he为单数第三人称，谓语动词使用单数第三人称形式，故填weighs。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：他庞大的体型和良好的体能使他非常适合这项运动。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作主语，使用名词，故填fitness。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：特别是，他击败了远在英国的竞争对手。分析句子结构，in particular为固定短语，含义为“特别”，符合句意，胡填In。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：熊谷久太是个沉默寡言的害羞男孩。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做宾语，使用名词，根据空白处上文few可知空白处应填名词的复数形式，故填words。
【41题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：和比我年龄大的人比赛很有趣。根据上文“people(人们)”以及下文“me(我)”可知，此处是要把两者进行比较，使用形容词的比较级，故填older。
42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：目标是提高灵活性和速度，这是摔跤所需要的两件事。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做表语，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to build。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：熊谷久太从六岁起就被要求参加这项训练，他没有遇到任何困难。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，根据时间状语since about the age of six可知本句表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响，谓语动词使用现在完成时的被动语态，故填has been demanded。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，give way to为固定短语，含义为“让步”，符合句意，故填to。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在赢得第一场比赛后，熊谷久太的父亲认为熊谷久太可能在摔跤方面有着特殊的天赋。分析句子结构，根据上文介词after可知空白处应填动名词，故填winning。

I was talking to my friend Sandy about our children. Sandy had recently moved into the neighborhood with her four kids: Jane, Joe, Christopher, and her youngest, eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed happy to have kids nearby, until she saw our dog, Sam.
Sam, our shiny black dog, loved to play with the kids and protect them. But Sandy had a fear of dogs, and she started to back away as Sam approached. I grabbed Sam’s collar and made him sit, trying to ease Sandy’s discomfort.
Sandy mentioned that she needed to get her kids ready to go to their grandmother’s house. Just then, her door opened and her kids rushed out. Sandy shouted at them to stay away from Sam.
The kids huddled (蜷缩) around their mom, looking at Sam cautiously (谨慎地). Emma, my daughter, showed the kids how to approach a dog slowly and properly. The kids were won over by Sam’s friendly nature, but I knew it would take some time for Sandy to change her viewpoint.
After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn’t go near our neighbors without me present. One day, when the kids were playing across the street, I noticed the eighteen-month-old baby heading towards a small hill. I saw a car approaching and shouted to everyone to watch the baby. Without hesitation, Sam rushed out the door and ran across the street towards the baby. He ran to the boy in time to gently push the baby away from the oncoming car. The kids cheered, completely unaware of the danger. They thought Sam had come to play.

When you go on vacation next time, make sure to take lots of pictures of the wildlife you sec. These photos can help save different types of wildlife because of a new field called “imageomies”. Imageomies uses computers to study pictures of wildlife and learn information from them.
Until recently scientists didn’t have the technology to analyze (分析) the data in wildlife photos. But now, machine learning and computer vision are helping researchers unlock valuable information hidden in these images.
There are platforms where people can share their wildlife photos, like cBird, iNaturalist and Wildbook. These platforms help scientists keep track of different species and create databases. If you have rare (稀有的) photos of wildlife, it’s a good idea to share them on these platforms.
Scientists have limited time and resources to study all endangered wildlife in the world. By using artificial intelligence (人工智能) to analyze public photos, we can learn more about different species and their behaviors. This technology can even help us find things in photos that humans might miss.
It’s important to use the collected information responsibly and protect it from poachers (偷猎者). If we do that, imageomies can not only help save wildlife but also contribute to other fields like medicine and agriculture.
8. How can imageomies help scientists study wildlife
A. By offering information from wildlife. B. By analyzing the data in wildlife photos.
C. By analyzing the trend of human population. D. By knowing the origin of biological processes.

In the past generations, our ancestors (祖先) lived with the simplest way. When science and technology materialize, there are various developments in the world that change and improve the way of living of people. As years go by, more and more innovations (创新) were created by applying the ideas of science and technologies. Most of these have positive effects on the society but some of these are harmful in certain ways. However, the importance of science and technology can’t be denied.
Science and innovation have mainly affected society, and their effect is developing. It makes life simpler and makes people more gainful. This change has positive and negative effects. The benefit is making life simpler while the other side is that it makes individuals needy and lazier. By making life simpler, science has allowed man to seek for cultural concerns to improve human conditions.
Science and technology can shape the general public we live in very well and can make us feel simpler, safer and increasingly gainful. However, it also can be used wrongly, which can harm many blameless lives. We must think for our own progress as well as for the improvement of each person of this planet that we call our own home.
In short, science and innovation have made a great contribution to our lives. They may also be related to us greatly. In this way, their effects will depend on how we follow up on them. In addition, if we see the more brilliant side of innovation, it is the foundation of national construction.
