第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分45分）
第一节（共13小题；每小题2.5分，满分32.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water (停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I. tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start---there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal---that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck——of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.
21. Why did the author decide to write a novel
A. Because she hated her previous jobs.
B. Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so.
C. Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature.
D. Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel.
22. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3m can
A. She suddenly lost confidence. B. She became more stubborn.
C. She became fess stubborn. D. She gradually gained confidence.
23. Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel
A. An agent who she signed with.
B. A publisher who she once worked for as an assistant.
C. An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents.
D. An assistant she once worked with.
24. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer
A. Difficult but thrilling. B. Interesting and smooth.
C. Tough but rewarding. D. Complicated and fruitless.
B
Eric Ashby’s fascination with nature began at an early age. His first article, Bird Photography: an Ideal Hobby for Boys, was published when he was just 16 and illustrated with photographs that he’d taken.
His interest in photography had been sparked four years earlier in 1930, when the wildlife photographer Cherry Kearton came to Southsea, Ashby’s home town, to present a show of his work. The 12-year-old Ashby saw the show and immediately started saving his pocket money to buy a camera for filming wildlife in the nearby New Forest. But Ashby’s films did not reach the public due to the World War II.
In 1953, he and his wife Eileen moved to Badger (獾) Cottage, in the heart of the New Forest. It was here that Ashby perfected the techniques that would make him famous through the new medium of television. His patience and technical knowledge allowed him to film badgers at their holes during daylight — the first time this behaviour had ever been captured on camera.
In 1961. at the age of 43, Ashby finally got his big break, when the BBC showed his 45-minute film The Unknown Forest. The film had taken four years to make and received a very positive response from viewers. The nature writer Richard Mabey was hugely impressed and remarked that the film “changed the standards for home-grown wildlife documentaries”.
After the film was shown, he was given the nickname “the silent watcher”. The nickname not only stuck, it became the title of his second film.
In 1963, Ashby made the first British wildlife film in colour, although it took four years before The Major appeared in its full glory, as the BBC did not broadcast (播放) in colour until 1967.
He was awarded the Royal Geographical Society’s Cherry Kearton Medal and Award in 1975 and in 1992received an MBE. He died, aged 85, on 6 February 2003, but his legacy lives on.
25. What does the underlined word “sparked” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Revived. B. Inspired. C. Assessed. D. Increased.
26. What might lead to the success of his 1961 film
A. Unique scenes and the new medium TV. B. Animal knowledge and new standards.
C. The positive response from viewers. D. The recommendation from a nature writer.
27. What can be learned from Paragraph 6
A. The Major took Ashby 4 years to make. B. The Major was not broadcast on BBC.
C. The Major was another success for Ashby. D. The Major was the first color film in the UK.
28. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Award Winner B. A Silent Watcher C. The Life of a Badger D. The Story in a Forest
C
Trying to figure out if your friend is angry You may look at his or her face. However, a new study finds when people are at the peak of joy or despair, their body language is a more reliable indicator of their emotions than their face.
“You can’t tell from the face alone if something good is going on or bad going on. When people see the faces alone, they’re kind of lost,” said Julliel Hievet, a psychologist at the Hebrew University. “The body maintains a clear signal of positive and negative.”
Hicvet also noted that most researches on reading emotions focused on the face. A few studies had shown people rely on body language to read emotions when it conflicts with someone’s fa cial expression, but those studies used trained actors in poses.
His research team wanted to see how people use body language to read intense emotions. To do so, his team gathered dozens of images of outstanding tennis players at the moment they won or lost critical points in competitions like the U. S. Open. They showed three groups of 15 participants images of just the face, just the body, or both together, and asked the viewers whether the images showed positive or negative emotions.
People who saw the body—with or without the face—accurately distinguished whether the player was happy or distraught. Those who viewed just the faces failed to do so.
The team also transformed winning faces onto losing bodies and vice versa (反之亦然), and found the body cues determined whether viewers thought the players had won.
The findings don’t rule out the face from all emotional indicators, he said. “But when things become very intense, the good and the bad combine together, and it’s hard to tell if it’s positive or negative,” he added.
Interestingly, when people saw a body and face together, they said they made judgments based on facial expression. “People use information from the body and then they read it into tbc face,” Hicvet said.
29. What is the finding of the new study
A. You cannot tell one’ s emotions from the face.
B. People thought they make judgments from the body.
C. Body can better reflect intense emotions than face.
D. Facial expressions tend to be different in joy and despair.
30. Why are other studies mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To summarize the previous studies. B. To prove the value of facial expression.
C. To introduce similar findings of other studies. D. To show the limitation of existing studies.
31. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Research method. B. Research background.
C. Research results. D. Research application.
32. The underlined word “distraught” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. excited B. upset C. shocked D. indifferent
33. What does Hievet’s quote in the last paragraph suggest
A. People are unaware of using body language to read emotions.
B. People read more information from facial expressions
C. People may think it hard to read intense emotions.
D. People can distinguish emotions from body and facial expression.

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known 34 “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Get eight hours of sleep. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels 35
Engage in volunteer work 36 Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Shamma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
37 A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that health y people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart discase six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: “If you’re catting a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.” 38
A. These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health.
B. Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress.
C. Volunteering might even increase your physical activity.
D. Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
E. Eat breakfast.
F. Eat healthy food rich in protein and fiber but low in fat and sugar
G. But others may not have crossed your mind.

Some people are just doomed (注定) to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities.
At the start of the meeting, David was standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and be really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group.
The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team.
The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this important beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place.
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。
Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless.

After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him.

【答案】
Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. In the whole process, David was active and creative. His behavior and attitude also influenced other students in the team. They collected more than 2,000 cans of food in just two hours, which set a new school record. They all felt happy. After that, David led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the homeless, and then, a third one. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, in which David’s picture was up for doing something greater.
After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. He fully demonstrated his ability. All the teachers were surprised. They found that great changes were taking place on David. After he graduated from college, he opened his own company, where most workers were local people from his community. He proved his ability by his actions. From David’s story, we firmly believe that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending and once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.

Text 9 采访 “涂鸦先生”
W: Good evening. Our guest today is Artist Sam Cox, or “Mr. Doodle”. He is famous for his signature doodles. Welcome Mr. Doodle. It’s amazing that you’ve covered your house with your signature doodles. Our audience is curious about it.
M: Well, the bedroom is actually the first room that I started. I doodled a different theme based on the purpose of each room, including food in the kitchen, clouds in the “thinking room”, the ocean in the bathroom and so on.
W: When did you start to draw pictures
M: When I was about one year old. My mother taught my brother and I to paint. As a teenager, I drew small comics about the subject with my friends. By the age of 25, I had chosen to be a full-time graffiti artist.
W: How do you describe your work
M: It’s just such a great process. I just make myself completely involved in this free-flowing state of creation, and experience the joy of creation.
W: Do you have any plans for the future
M: I want to build a “graffiti town” by doodling more houses in the area to further spread my creativity. You know this house was just the beginning of my childhood dream of doodling an entire planet.
W: Sounds great. Thank you very much for coming, and for bringing us so much.
Text 10 以实际行动保护生物多样性
W: Most young people like to enjoy playing on their smartphones in their spare time. But Li Ruxue is different. He often does some research in a forest and isolates himself from the outside world. In his college years, Li actively took part in field research with his teachers. After graduation, he joined a gibbon protection organization, where one of his major responsibilities was picking up gibbon feces. Through analyzing the DNA from the feces, researchers can protect them better. So over the past four and a half years, Li has followed gibbons and collected their feces for researchers. Though the work is a bit tiring, it’s meaningful for him. He has never regretted his choice or felt alone. Like Li, Chu Wenwen has also worked to protect animals. As her father is engaged in wildlife research, Chu has long been surrounded by wild animals. After graduating from university in 2017, she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps. She thinks she is lucky to live in such a great era when young people can fulfill their aspirations, and the country strongly supports the nature conservation.
Both Li Ruxue and Chu Wenwen set an example to our young generation. We should do our part like them and take part in the action of protecting animals.

七选五【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍三种人们意想不到的促进心脏健康的方法。
【34题详解】
根据前文“As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.(多达80%的过早的心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的。有些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的。)”和后文““A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.(加拿大心脏和中风基金会发言人、预防心脏病专家贝丝·艾布拉姆森博士说：“从长远来看，日常生活中的一个小改变可能会产生巨大的影响。”)”可知，一些健康的生活方式是众所周知的，但其它的或许你不会想到，前后句之间为转折关系。所以选择项G“But others may not have crossed your mind.(但你可能没想过其它的。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【35题详解】
根据前文“If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels. (如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平。)”可知，没有充足的睡眠会导致身体健康问题，当然也会对心脏健康产生影响。所以选择项A“These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health. (这些因素都会对心脏和血液健康产生影响。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【36题详解】
根据本段中心句“Engage in volunteer work.(参加志愿者工作。)”和后文“Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. 'We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,' adds Sharma. 'Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.'(2016年发表在《心身医学》上的一项研究表明，生活的目标感与心脏病和中风的较低可能性有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”沙玛补充说。“志愿活动让你走出家门，建立社交网络。”)”可知，参加志愿者活动，可以减少孤独感，缓解压力，从而预防心脏病的发生。所以选择项B“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. (为他人做好事可以帮助你提升自尊，缓解压力。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
这里是本段的小标题。根据后文“A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: 'If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,' says Abramson. (《美国心脏病学会杂志》最近的一项研究发现，不吃早餐的健康人6年后患心脏病的可能性几乎是那些吃丰盛早餐的人的三倍。一个可能的原因是：“如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你稍后就不太可能感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择，”艾布拉姆松说。)”可知，本段主要介绍吃早餐对心脏的好处。所以选择项E“Eat breakfast. (吃早餐。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据前文“We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. (作为健康生活方式的一部分，我们需要均衡饮食。)”可知，这里对均衡饮食作了具体的说明。所以选择项D“Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. (选择全麦，低脂的早餐，包括水果。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。

第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分45分）
第一节（共13小题；每小题2.5分，满分32.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water (停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I. tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start---there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal---that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck——of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.
21. Why did the author decide to write a novel
A. Because she hated her previous jobs.
B. Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so.
C. Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature.
D. Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel.
22. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3m can
A. She suddenly lost confidence. B. She became more stubborn.
C. She became fess stubborn. D. She gradually gained confidence.
23. Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel
A. An agent who she signed with.
B. A publisher who she once worked for as an assistant.
C. An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents.
D. An assistant she once worked with.
24. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer
A. Difficult but thrilling. B. Interesting and smooth.
C. Tough but rewarding. D. Complicated and fruitless.
B
Eric Ashby’s fascination with nature began at an early age. His first article, Bird Photography: an Ideal Hobby for Boys, was published when he was just 16 and illustrated with photographs that he’d taken.
His interest in photography had been sparked four years earlier in 1930, when the wildlife photographer Cherry Kearton came to Southsea, Ashby’s home town, to present a show of his work. The 12-year-old Ashby saw the show and immediately started saving his pocket money to buy a camera for filming wildlife in the nearby New Forest. But Ashby’s films did not reach the public due to the World War II.
In 1953, he and his wife Eileen moved to Badger (獾) Cottage, in the heart of the New Forest. It was here that Ashby perfected the techniques that would make him famous through the new medium of television. His patience and technical knowledge allowed him to film badgers at their holes during daylight — the first time this behaviour had ever been captured on camera.
In 1961. at the age of 43, Ashby finally got his big break, when the BBC showed his 45-minute film The Unknown Forest. The film had taken four years to make and received a very positive response from viewers. The nature writer Richard Mabey was hugely impressed and remarked that the film “changed the standards for home-grown wildlife documentaries”.
After the film was shown, he was given the nickname “the silent watcher”. The nickname not only stuck, it became the title of his second film.
In 1963, Ashby made the first British wildlife film in colour, although it took four years before The Major appeared in its full glory, as the BBC did not broadcast (播放) in colour until 1967.
He was awarded the Royal Geographical Society’s Cherry Kearton Medal and Award in 1975 and in 1992received an MBE. He died, aged 85, on 6 February 2003, but his legacy lives on.
25. What does the underlined word “sparked” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Revived. B. Inspired. C. Assessed. D. Increased.
26. What might lead to the success of his 1961 film
A. Unique scenes and the new medium TV. B. Animal knowledge and new standards.
C. The positive response from viewers. D. The recommendation from a nature writer.
27. What can be learned from Paragraph 6
A. The Major took Ashby 4 years to make. B. The Major was not broadcast on BBC.
C. The Major was another success for Ashby. D. The Major was the first color film in the UK.
28. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An Award Winner B. A Silent Watcher C. The Life of a Badger D. The Story in a Forest
C
Trying to figure out if your friend is angry You may look at his or her face. However, a new study finds when people are at the peak of joy or despair, their body language is a more reliable indicator of their emotions than their face.
“You can’t tell from the face alone if something good is going on or bad going on. When people see the faces alone, they’re kind of lost,” said Julliel Hievet, a psychologist at the Hebrew University. “The body maintains a clear signal of positive and negative.”
Hicvet also noted that most researches on reading emotions focused on the face. A few studies had shown people rely on body language to read emotions when it conflicts with someone’s fa cial expression, but those studies used trained actors in poses.
His research team wanted to see how people use body language to read intense emotions. To do so, his team gathered dozens of images of outstanding tennis players at the moment they won or lost critical points in competitions like the U. S. Open. They showed three groups of 15 participants images of just the face, just the body, or both together, and asked the viewers whether the images showed positive or negative emotions.
People who saw the body—with or without the face—accurately distinguished whether the player was happy or distraught. Those who viewed just the faces failed to do so.
The team also transformed winning faces onto losing bodies and vice versa (反之亦然), and found the body cues determined whether viewers thought the players had won.
The findings don’t rule out the face from all emotional indicators, he said. “But when things become very intense, the good and the bad combine together, and it’s hard to tell if it’s positive or negative,” he added.
Interestingly, when people saw a body and face together, they said they made judgments based on facial expression. “People use information from the body and then they read it into tbc face,” Hicvet said.
29. What is the finding of the new study
A. You cannot tell one’ s emotions from the face.
B. People thought they make judgments from the body.
C. Body can better reflect intense emotions than face.
D. Facial expressions tend to be different in joy and despair.
30. Why are other studies mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To summarize the previous studies. B. To prove the value of facial expression.
C. To introduce similar findings of other studies. D. To show the limitation of existing studies.
31. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Research method. B. Research background.
C. Research results. D. Research application.
32. The underlined word “distraught” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. excited B. upset C. shocked D. indifferent
33. What does Hievet’s quote in the last paragraph suggest
A. People are unaware of using body language to read emotions.
B. People read more information from facial expressions
C. People may think it hard to read intense emotions.
D. People can distinguish emotions from body and facial expression.

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known 34 “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Get eight hours of sleep. “When you’re not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels 35
Engage in volunteer work 36 Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Shamma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
37 A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that health y people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart discase six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: “If you’re catting a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,” says Abramson. “We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.” 38
A. These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health.

Some people are just doomed (注定) to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities.
At the start of the meeting, David was standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and be really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group.
The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team.
The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this important beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place.
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。
Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless.

After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him.

【答案】
Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. In the whole process, David was active and creative. His behavior and attitude also influenced other students in the team. They collected more than 2,000 cans of food in just two hours, which set a new school record. They all felt happy. After that, David led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the homeless, and then, a third one. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, in which David’s picture was up for doing something greater.
After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. He fully demonstrated his ability. All the teachers were surprised. They found that great changes were taking place on David. After he graduated from college, he opened his own company, where most workers were local people from his community. He proved his ability by his actions. From David’s story, we firmly believe that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending and once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.

Text 10 以实际行动保护生物多样性
W: Most young people like to enjoy playing on their smartphones in their spare time. But Li Ruxue is different. He often does some research in a forest and isolates himself from the outside world. In his college years, Li actively took part in field research with his teachers. After graduation, he joined a gibbon protection organization, where one of his major responsibilities was picking up gibbon feces. Through analyzing the DNA from the feces, researchers can protect them better. So over the past four and a half years, Li has followed gibbons and collected their feces for researchers. Though the work is a bit tiring, it’s meaningful for him. He has never regretted his choice or felt alone. Like Li, Chu Wenwen has also worked to protect animals. As her father is engaged in wildlife research, Chu has long been surrounded by wild animals. After graduating from university in 2017, she decided to follow in her father’s footsteps. She thinks she is lucky to live in such a great era when young people can fulfill their aspirations, and the country strongly supports the nature conservation.
Both Li Ruxue and Chu Wenwen set an example to our young generation. We should do our part like them and take part in the action of protecting animals.

七选五【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍三种人们意想不到的促进心脏健康的方法。
【34题详解】
根据前文“As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.(多达80%的过早的心脏病是可以通过选择特定的生活方式来预防的。有些策略，如锻炼和控制体重，是众所周知的。)”和后文““A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run,” says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.(加拿大心脏和中风基金会发言人、预防心脏病专家贝丝·艾布拉姆森博士说：“从长远来看，日常生活中的一个小改变可能会产生巨大的影响。”)”可知，一些健康的生活方式是众所周知的，但其它的或许你不会想到，前后句之间为转折关系。所以选择项G“But others may not have crossed your mind.(但你可能没想过其它的。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【35题详解】
根据前文“If we’re short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels. (如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平。)”可知，没有充足的睡眠会导致身体健康问题，当然也会对心脏健康产生影响。所以选择项A“These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health. (这些因素都会对心脏和血液健康产生影响。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【36题详解】
根据本段中心句“Engage in volunteer work.(参加志愿者工作。)”和后文“Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. 'We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,' adds Sharma. 'Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.'(2016年发表在《心身医学》上的一项研究表明，生活的目标感与心脏病和中风的较低可能性有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”沙玛补充说。“志愿活动让你走出家门，建立社交网络。”)”可知，参加志愿者活动，可以减少孤独感，缓解压力，从而预防心脏病的发生。所以选择项B“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. (为他人做好事可以帮助你提升自尊，缓解压力。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
这里是本段的小标题。根据后文“A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: 'If you’re eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices,' says Abramson. (《美国心脏病学会杂志》最近的一项研究发现，不吃早餐的健康人6年后患心脏病的可能性几乎是那些吃丰盛早餐的人的三倍。一个可能的原因是：“如果你吃了一顿合适的早餐，你稍后就不太可能感到饥饿，也不太可能做出糟糕的食物选择，”艾布拉姆松说。)”可知，本段主要介绍吃早餐对心脏的好处。所以选择项E“Eat breakfast. (吃早餐。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据前文“We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. (作为健康生活方式的一部分，我们需要均衡饮食。)”可知，这里对均衡饮食作了具体的说明。所以选择项D“Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. (选择全麦，低脂的早餐，包括水果。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
