After six years of improvement, Ye Olde Black Bear in Tewkesbury, UK will be open to customers. The pub, which was established in 1308, is believed to have once been visited by William Shakespeare. But while many people in the town are delighted that one of its most famous buildings and businesses has been revived, others living close to it have a different voice.
The house has a large open area at the back for hosting live music events, for which the City Council has decided to review (校审) the licence following complaints from the public. The pub said, on its Facebook page: “To review the longstanding licence of The Black Bear is placing it at risk of closure.” It urged its supporters to write letters of support which it would forward on to the council.
The council said, in a letter to residents living near the pub, that possible measures it might take included limiting outdoor entertainment at the site to six days a year, ending at 10:30 pm each time, and requiring a noise limiting device to be fixed. The pub is run by landlord Luke Haynes and his family, who say their research shows it is the oldest pub which has always been a pub in the UK.
Luke said allowing only six events a year would mean the pub would not survive financially, adding profits earned by staging live music sessions in the summer would enable the pub to get through the winter.
He said: “The support from the town has been absolutely great. It’s a very small number of people who are complaining. We’ve had huge support from our neighbours. I’m trying to work with the council to come up with solutions to this.”
The pub’s fans have gathered behind the bid to keep it going, with an online demand having been signed by more than 2,800 people. Georgie Smith, who started it, said: “We believe closing the Black Bear would be harmful to our community, both socially and economically. The importance of pubs in the UK cannot be overstated. They are part of our cultural heritage.”
4. What is the Black Bear
A. It’s a house where William Shakespeare once lived.
B. It’s a famous pub with a long history.
C. It’s a music band performing in the open air.
D. It’s an Internet company popular with customers.
5. What caused the council to review the licence of the Black Bear
A. The repairs of the historical house. B. The reopening without permits.
C. The complaints from some neighbours. D. The bad effects on children.
6. Which requirement from the council will have the worst effect
A. Ending events at 10:30 pm each time. B. Showing the licence to the public.
C. Fixing a noise limiting device. D. Holding only six events a year.
7. What does Georgie Smith suggest people do
A. Remember the importance of pubs. B. Protect the community.
C. Support the Black Bear online. D. Drink in the pub more often.
C
Fennec foxes (耳廓狐) are the smallest fox in the world, weighing between 0.6 to 1.5 kilograms and standing only 20 centimeters tall. They look so sweet that you can’t help but entertain the thought of taking one home.
Originally coming from North Africa, the fennec fox can live in a range of desert environments and can be found throughout the Sahara desert and east to Sinai. They prefer dry areas with desert grasses or scrub vegetation.
Their ears half as long as their body not only help to give off much heat from the desert without sacrificing precious water by sweating, but also help them listen for their meal underground. Once the fox locates a tasty meal, it uses all four of its feet to start digging. In the wild, fennec foxes are big fans of insects, specifically locusts and grasshoppers. But they actually feed on everything from birds and their eggs to mice and small rabbits, significantly bigger than them. Fennec foxes tend to hunt at night, and they don’t like company when they do it.
During the day, fennec foxes like to hide themselves in shady spots to avoid the heat. They’re expert burrowers (掘穴动物), digging out tunnels that can reach up to 10 meters in length. They usually dig a series of these tunnels, with multiple exits so they can make a quick getaway if they have to. They often live in family groups of up to 10. Scientists have even found instances of multiple family groups sharing one complex den.
It’s not encouraged for anyone to have a fennec fox as a pet. They need special care, housing, and a diet that the average person usually cannot provide. While fennec foxes are commonly trapped for sale in the domestic pet trade, their main predators are certain large varieties of African owl, so they should be included as a threatened Species in time.
8. What mainly attracts people to have a fennec fox as a pet
A. Its small size. B. Its good look.
C. That it eats a little. D. That it is friendly to humans.
9. How do fennec foxes look for their food
A. They use their ears to judge where food is. B. Their sweat can draw insects to them.
C They make good use of their eyes. D. They smell where food is.
10. What does the underlined word “multiple” mean in paragraph 4
A. Beautiful. B. Hidden. C. Small. D. Many.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. African owls should be killed. B. We should protect fennec foxes.
C. It’s necessary to raise the foxes at home. D. In the wild Fennec foxes are short of food.
D
Trapped in a sea of cars on an endless highway, have you ever daydreamed about your car taking off and flying over the road Imagine if you could just turn a switch and free yourself from the traffic jams!
Actually, just a decade and a half after the Wright Brothers took off in their airplane in 1903, other people began chasing the dream of a flying car. The pioneers never managed to develop a reliable flying car, and some even died testing their inventions. However, they proved that a car could be built to fly, and inspired a new group of roadable aircraft enthusiasts. With advances in lightweight material, computer modeling and computer-controlled aircraft, things are changing.
After a century of unfulfilled promises, flying cars are just around the corner. Moller’s latest design, the Skycar M400, is designed to take off and land vertically (垂直地) in small spaces. It can reach speeds of 400 mph, and has a range of 900 miles. The fuel mileage will be similar to that of a medium-sized car, getting 20 miles to the gallon. The initial cost of a Skycar will be about $1 million, but once it begins to be mass produced that price could come down to as low as $60,000.
The four-seat Skycar is powered by eight engines on the side of the vehicle. If one fails, the other engines can sustain flight. To make the Skycar safe and available to the general public, it is completely controlled by computers using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. In case of an accident, the vehicle will release a parachute and airbags to reduce the impact of the crash.
The mass availability of flying cars could be very exciting or very scary, depending on how you look at it. If proper safeguards are put in place, they could be the answer to our ever-worsening traffic jams. Flying cars allow us to live hundreds of miles farther from work but make it to the office within a few minutes.
12. Why did the pioneers failed to make a reliable flying car in the past
A. The government wasn’t in favour of the invention. B. They didn’t have modern technology.
C. There was no financial aid coming to them. D. Difficulties drove them to give up their dreams.
13. Which aspect of the Skycar M400 does the fourth paragraph focus on
A Its power. B. Its safety. C. Its size. D. Its usage.
14. According to the author, what role is the flying car most likely to play
A. To reduce traffic accidents. B. To get people amused.
C. To avoid traffic jams. D. To promote driving skills.
15. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage
A. The Future of Cars B. Flying to Work in Your Car
C. The Way to Avoid Traffic Jams D. Moller’s Great Invention

It is a challenging journey to change their lives for the best and get the healthiest they knew how to. Lexi and Danny lived their lives like most other young couples who fell in love with each other and then made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together. The couple spent a lot of time watching TV and going to different restaurants, and as you would imagine, the endless junk foods were their “go-to” choice. Though they would manage to lose some weight during the time, but before long, they would gain it back.
Lexi weighed a 485 pounds at the age of 25, a weight that was quite unbelievable to imagine. Danny, on the other hand, was also overweight himself even though he was 200 pounds less than Lexi. However, the sad part of everything was that they were both gaining more weight on what they already had with each passing day. Some of their daily activities, no matter how simple, became a real problem for the couple. They couldn’t go for walks or bicycle rides no matter how easy they were. However, in 2016 just after a year after the marriage, they decided to make a positive change in their life.
The couple decided to take on a challenge that would change their lives forever and for good! So many people make promises to themselves and others that they don’t really carry out but the couple were not about to do like the others. Theirs were destined (注定) to come to reality. They made a detailed plan to go on a diet and take exercise on a daily basis. At first, they thought the whole process would have been a piece of cake. As they pressed on, each passing day showed them that this challenge would not be a walk in the park. They got a gym membership to help out.
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。
The weight-losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them.

After six years of improvement, Ye Olde Black Bear in Tewkesbury, UK will be open to customers. The pub, which was established in 1308, is believed to have once been visited by William Shakespeare. But while many people in the town are delighted that one of its most famous buildings and businesses has been revived, others living close to it have a different voice.
The house has a large open area at the back for hosting live music events for which the City Council has decided to review (校审) the licence following complaints from the public. The pub said, on its Facebook page: “To review the longstanding licence of The Black Bear is placing it at risk of closure.” It urged its supporters to write letters of support which it would forward on to the council.
The council said, in a letter to residents living near the pub, that possible measures it might take included limiting outdoor entertainment at the site to six days a year, ending at 10:30 pm each time, and requiring a noise limiting device to be fixed. The pub is run by landlord Luke Haynes and his family, who say their research shows it is the oldest pub which has always been a pub in the UK.
Luke said allowing only six events a year would mean the pub would not survive financially, adding profits earned by staging live music sessions in the summer would enable the pub to get through the winter.
He said: “The support from the town has been absolutely great. It’s a very small number of people who are complaining. We’ve had huge support from our neighbours. I’m trying to work with the council to come up with solutions to this.”
The pub’s fans have gathered behind the bid to keep it going, with an online demand having been signed by more than 2,800 people. Georgie Smith, who started it, said: “We believe closing the Black Bear would be harmful to our community, both socially and economically. The importance of pubs in the UK cannot be overstated. They are part of our cultural heritage.”
4. What is the Black Bear
A. It’s a house where William Shakespeare once lived.
B. It’s a famous pub with a long history.
C. It’s a music band performing in the open air.
D. It’s an Internet company popular with customers.
5. What caused the council to review the licence of the Black Bear
A. The repairs of the historical house. B. The reopening without permits.
C. The complaints from some neighbours. D. The bad effects on children.
6. Which requirement from the council will have the worst effect
A. Ending events at 10:30 pm each time. B. Showing the licence to the public.
C. Fixing a noise limiting device. D. Holding only six events a year.
7. What does Georgie Smith suggest people do
A. Remember the importance of pubs. B. Protect the community.
C. Support the Black Bear online. D. Drink in the pub more often.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。英国蒂克斯伯里古老的Ye Olde Black Bear酒吧经过六年的修缮，将向顾客开放。虽然许多人对此感到开心，但也有人有不同的意见。遭到公众投诉后，该酒吧面临着关闭的风险，但酒吧有许多支持者为了让其运营下去而努力。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The pub, which was established in 1308, is believed to have once been visited by William Shakespeare.(这家酒吧成立于1308年，据信威廉·莎士比亚曾到访过。)”可推知，Black Bear是一家有着悠久历史的著名酒吧。故选B。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Luke said allowing only six events a year would mean the pub would not survive financially(卢克说，一年只允许举办六场活动意味着这家酒吧将无法在经济上生存)”可推知，市议会让这家酒吧一年只能举办六场活动，这会导致酒吧财务破产，这项要求会有最糟糕的影响。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Georgie Smith, who started it, said: ‘We believe closing the Black Bear would be harmful to our community, both socially and economically. The importance of pubs in the UK cannot be overstated. They are part of our cultural heritage.’发起网上签名活动的Georgie Smith说：‘我们认为关闭Black Bear会对我们的社区造成社会和经济上的伤害。酒吧在英国的重要性怎么强调都不为过。它们是我们文化遗产的一部分。’)”可知，Georgie Smith发起了网民在线签名要求，并认为这个酒吧非常重要，关闭它会对社区造成经济和社会上的伤害，由此可推测出，他建议人们在线支持Black Bear。故选C。

Fennec foxes (耳廓狐) are the smallest fox in the world, weighing between 0.6 to 1.5 kilograms and standing only 20 centimeters tall. They look so sweet that you can’t help but entertain the thought of taking one home.
Originally coming from North Africa, the fennec fox can live in a range of desert environments and can be found throughout the Sahara desert and east to Sinai. They prefer dry areas with desert grasses or scrub vegetation.
Their ears half as long as their body not only help to give off much heat from the desert without sacrificing precious water by sweating, but also help them listen for their meal underground. Once the fox locates a tasty meal, it uses all four of its feet to start digging. In the wild, fennec foxes are big fans of insects, specifically locusts and grasshoppers. But they actually feed on everything from birds and their eggs to mice and small rabbits, significantly bigger than them. Fennec foxes tend to hunt at night, and they don’t like company when they do it.
During the day, fennec foxes like to hide themselves in shady spots to avoid the heat. They’re expert burrowers (掘穴动物), digging out tunnels that can reach up to 10 meters in length. They usually dig a series of these tunnels, with multiple exits so they can make a quick getaway if they have to. They often live in family groups of up to 10. Scientists have even found instances of multiple family groups sharing one complex den.
It’s not encouraged for anyone to have a fennec fox as a pet. They need special care, housing, and a diet that the average person usually cannot provide. While fennec foxes are commonly trapped for sale in the domestic pet trade, their main predators are certain large varieties of African owl, so they should be included as a threatened Species in time.
8. What mainly attracts people to have a fennec fox as a pet
A. Its small size. B. Its good look.
C. That it eats a little. D. That it is friendly to humans.
9 How do fennec foxes look for their food
A. They use their ears to judge where food is. B. Their sweat can draw insects to them.
C. They make good use of their eyes. D. They smell where food is.
10. What does the underlined word “multiple” mean in paragraph 4
A. Beautiful. B. Hidden. C. Small. D. Many.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. African owls should be killed. B. We should protect fennec foxes.
C. It’s necessary to raise the foxes at home. D. In the wild Fennec foxes are short of food.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上最小的狐狸——耳廓狐
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“They look so sweet that you can’t help but entertain the thought of taking one home.(它们看起来如此甜美，以至于你忍不住想带一个回家。)”可知，好看的外观吸引人们养耳廓狐作为宠物。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Their ears half as long as their body not only help to give off much heat from the desert without sacrificing precious water by sweating, but also help them listen for their meal underground.(它们的耳朵只有身体的一半长，不仅能帮助它们从沙漠中散发出大量热量，而且不会因为出汗而牺牲宝贵的水分，还能帮助它们在地下寻找食物)”可知，它们用耳朵来判断食物在哪里。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词的下文“so they can make a quick getaway if they have to.(这样它们就能在必要时迅速逃离。)”可知，出口多才能迅速逃离，此处是指“许多”出口，所以推断划线词意思是“许多”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s not encouraged for anyone to have a fennec fox as a pet. They need special care, housing, and a diet that the average person usually cannot provide.(我们不鼓励任何人把耳廓狐狸当作宠物。它们需要特殊的照顾、住房和一般人通常无法提供的饮食。)”可推知，我们应该保护耳廓狐。故选B项。

Trapped in a sea of cars on an endless highway, have you ever daydreamed about your car taking off and flying over the road Imagine if you could just turn a switch and free yourself from the traffic jams!
Actually just a decade and a half after the Wright Brothers took off in their airplane in 1903, other people began chasing the dream of a flying car. The pioneers never managed to develop a reliable flying car, and some even died testing their inventions. However, they proved that a car could be built to fly, and inspired a new group of roadable aircraft enthusiasts. With advances in lightweight material, computer modeling and computer-controlled aircraft, things are changing.
After a century of unfulfilled promises, flying cars are just around the corner. Moller’s latest design, the Skycar M400, is designed to take off and land vertically (垂直地) in small spaces. It can reach speeds of 400 mph, and has a range of 900 miles. The fuel mileage will be similar to that of a medium-sized car, getting 20 miles to the gallon. The initial cost of a Skycar will be about $1 million, but once it begins to be mass produced that price could come down to as low as $60,000.
The four-seat Skycar is powered by eight engines on the side of the vehicle. If one fails, the other engines can sustain flight. To make the Skycar safe and available to the general public, it is completely controlled by computers using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. In case of an accident, the vehicle will release a parachute and airbags to reduce the impact of the crash.
The mass availability of flying cars could be very exciting or very scary, depending on how you look at it. If proper safeguards are put in place, they could be the answer to our ever-worsening traffic jams. Flying cars allow us to live hundreds of miles farther from work but make it to the office within a few minutes.
12. Why did the pioneers failed to make a reliable flying car in the past
A. The government wasn’t in favour of the invention. B. They didn’t have modern technology.
C. There was no financial aid coming to them. D. Difficulties drove them to give up their dreams.
13. Which aspect of the Skycar M400 does the fourth paragraph focus on
A. Its power. B. Its safety. C. Its size. D. Its usage.
14. According to the author, what role is the flying car most likely to play
A. To reduce traffic accidents. B. To get people amused.
C. To avoid traffic jams. D. To promote driving skills.
15. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage
A. The Future of Cars B. Flying to Work in Your Car
C. The Way to Avoid Traffic Jams D. Moller’s Great Invention
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B

推理判断题。根据第二段“With advances in lightweight material, computer modeling and computer-controlled aircraft, things are changing.(随着轻量化材料、计算机建模和计算机控制飞机的进步，情况正在发生变化)”可推知，先行者们没有制造出实用的飞行汽车是因为没有现代技术。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The four-seat Skycar is powered by eight engines on the side of the vehicle. If one fails, the other engines can sustain flight. To make the Skycar safe and available to the general public, it is completely controlled by computers using Global Positioning System(GPS) satellites. In case of an accident, the vehicle will release a parachute and airbags to reduce the impact of the crash.(四座的Skycar由车辆侧面的八个发动机提供动力。如果一个引擎坏了，其他引擎可以维持飞行。为了保证Skycar的安全，公众可以使用它，它完全由使用全球定位系统（GPS）卫星的计算机控制。如果发生事故，车辆将释放降落伞和安全气囊，以减少碰撞的影响)”可知，第四段关注的是Skycar M400的安全方面。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“If proper safeguards are put in place, they could be the answer to our ever-worsening traffic jams.(如果适当的安全措施到位，它们可能是我们日益恶化的交通堵塞的答案)”可知，飞行汽车最有可能发挥的作用是解决交通堵塞的问题。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍飞行汽车的性能、装备、各项指标以及其实用性；结合最后一段“Flying cars allow us to live hundreds of miles farther from work but make it to the office within a few minutes.(飞行汽车使我们可以住在离工作地点数百英里远的地方，但几分钟内就能到达办公室)”可知，B选项“开车去上班”最符合文章标题。故选B。

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。
It is a challenging journey to change their lives for the best and get the healthiest they knew how to. Lexi and Danny lived their lives like most other young couples who fell in love with each other and then made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together. The couple spent a lot of time watching TV and going to different restaurants, and as you would imagine, the endless junk foods were their “go-to” choice. Though they would manage to lose some weight during the time, but before long, they would gain it back.
Lexi weighed a 485 pounds at the age of 25, a weight that was quite unbelievable to imagine. Danny, on the other hand, was also overweight himself even though he was 200 pounds less than Lexi. However, the sad part of everything was that they were both gaining more weight on what they already had with each passing day. Some of their daily activities, no matter how simple, became a real problem for the couple. They couldn’t go for walks or bicycle rides no matter how easy they were. However, in 2016 just after a year after the marriage, they decided to make a positive change in their life.
The couple decided to take on a challenge that would change their lives forever and for good! So many people make promises to themselves and others that they don’t really carry out but the couple were not about to do like the others. Theirs were destined (注定的) to come to reality. They made a detailed plan to go on a diet and take exercise on a daily basis. At first, they thought the whole process would have been a piece of cake. As they pressed on, each passing day showed them that this challenge would not be a walk in the park. They got a gym membership to help out.
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。

Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The weight-losing lessons offered at the gym were not easy, a real challenge for them. At first, no matter what efforts they made, they couldn’t keep at the pace of the other people in the class, because of their huge weight. Especially for Lexi, she was unable to get through with the lessons. However, the encouragement and support from their friends and family led them to keep up. They worked as a team, supporting each other, so none of them would fail. They kept up on the journey to lose weight.
Paragraph 2:
Just after a month, they both felt so much better, and they were pleased with the way they looked. Of course, this new feeling gave them a lot of confidence to keep pushing to achieve the final goal they were working for. Before long, their efforts began to pay off. Lexi was dropping about 20 pounds and Danny 11 pounds per month. Now the couple both have a good shape and enjoy a happy life. To keep up the gain, they are still taking exercise every day, however busy they are. Importantly, they keep off junk foods.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lexi和Danny是一对年轻的夫妇，由于他们不健康的生活和饮食习惯，他们变得超重了。然而在结婚一年后，他们决定在生活中做出积极的改变，于是他们制订了详细的计划。一开始他们以为减肥是小菜一碟，但随着时间的推移，他们发现并不简单，后来他们去了健身房。健身房的课程很有挑战，但在亲朋好友和彼此的支持下，他们坚持了下来。一个月后他们发现自己有了积极的变化，也增加了信心，他们继续在减肥的道路上前进。现在他们有了好身材和幸福的生活，也养成了健康的生活和饮食习惯。

2. 段落续写：减肥课程很有挑战——他们跟不上其他人的节奏——亲朋好友和彼此的鼓励让他们继续下去——一个月后他们身材有了积极变化——增加了信心并决定继续下去——努力获得回报——有了好身材和幸福的生活，也养成了健康的生活和饮食习惯
