On January 14, 2006, Ben Keene received an email that changed his life. He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.
From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.
With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.
The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.
Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.
The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc. Ben has supported and guided thousands of people to set up impactful businesses on a limited budget.
4. What is Tribewanted
A. A voting software. B. An island adventure project.
C. An employment plan. D. An eco-community in virtual and real worlds.
5. Which phrase may best replace the underlined “sprung to life”
A. passed on. B. came into being.
C. got involved. D. struggled to survive.
6. What might be Ben’s intention of joining Escape the City
A. To seek funds for his Tribewanted.
B. To call for investment in remote islands.
C. To support people to launch influential businesses.
D. To help ambitious businessmen to change careers.
7. In which column can you read this text
A. Inspiring people. B. Connected lives.
C. Inventive solutions. D. Global business.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是Ben Keene建立了Tribewanted,这是一个生态友好的可持续社区,同时存在于互联网的虚拟世界和一个实际的荒岛上以及他加入的Escape the City,也说明了这两个社区的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.(在那里,本与人共同创立了Tribewanted,这是一个生态友好的可持续社区,同时存在于互联网的虚拟世界和一个实际的荒岛上。)”可知,Tribewanted是一个虚拟和现实世界的生态社区。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured(这个想法引起了人们的兴趣,随着岛屿租赁的确定)”可知,在引起了人们的兴趣,确定了岛屿租赁之后,这个虚拟社区开始活跃起来,划线短语sprung to life的意思是“开始产生,开始活跃起来”,和came into being意思相近,故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.(Tribewanted的想法是在网上招募一群相似的人,然后前往斐济的Vorovoro岛,与当地土著部落一起建立一个可持续发展的社区。)”和最后一段“From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world.(从那里,Ben加入了Escape the City,这是一个全球性的社区,其使命是帮助一百万人做对他们和世界都重要的工作,激励成千上万有才华的职业转换者和雄心勃勃的商人迈出飞跃,将他们的想法发布到世界上。)”可知,本文主要讲的是Ben Keene建立了Tribewanted,这是一个生态友好的可持续社区,同时存在于互联网的虚拟世界和一个实际的荒岛上以及他加入的Escape the City,这两个社区对人都有激励作用,因此本文可以在鼓舞人们的栏目读到。故选A。
C
About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.
“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!
I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much thought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.
These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.
The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).
8. Which might be the reason for the author to remove Uber Eats
A. Her passion for cooking. B. Her boredom with online ordering.
C. Her preference for another app. D. Her concern for its negative impacts.
9. What does the author think of cooking
A. Addictive and money-saving. B. Cheap and convenient.
C. Time-consuming but rewarding. D. Motivating but stressful.
10. What does “the process” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.
B. Adapting to life free of delivery apps.
C. Getting into a healthy eating habit.
D. Rediscovering the fun of cooking.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. My Order Never Arrived
B. Why Uber Eats Gets Less Active
C. What Delivery Apps Can Not Offer Me
D. The Convenience Was Not Worth The Cost
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己删除外卖APP的原因,来表明便利性不值得付出代价的观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them’ was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!(餐馆勉强生存。一份报纸的头条新闻是“送货应用程序会杀死他们”,这是探讨这些科技公司不公平的注册策略和收取高额费用的众多报道之一。此外,有报道称送货骑手的工作条件恶劣,导致悲剧性事故,甚至死亡。这真是让人难以忍受啊!)”以及第三段中“I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since.(我删除了这款应用,从那以后再也没用过它,也没用过它的任何竞争对手)”可知,担心其负面影响可能是作者删除 Uber Eats的原因。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money.(在慵懒的夜晚,我发现我仍然可以使用手头上的任何食材做出令人满意的饭菜。这个方法也为我节省了很多钱)”以及第四段“These changes have cost me one thing — time.(这些改变让我损失了一件事——时间)”可知,作者认为烹饪费时但是有益。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词义理解题。根据第三段“I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since.(我删除了该应用程序,从那以后就没有使用过它,也没有使用过它的任何竞争对手)”以及最后一段中“The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (这个过程让我思考技术进步如何节省我们的时间,但时间用来做什么呢?对我来说,答案通常就是更多的工作时间,或者更多的上网时间。自己做饭感觉就像收回了我为那些远没有营养的东西而放弃的时间)”可知,The process指的是适应没有送货应用程序的生活。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.(大约两个月前,我从手机上删除了Uber Eats。不是因为我不喜欢使用它。我爱它。然而,就像大多数廉价的现代奢侈品一样,也存在隐性成本)”以及第二段中“On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money.(在慵懒的夜晚,我发现我仍然可以使用手头上的任何食材做出令人满意的饭菜。这个方法也为我节省了很多钱)”可知,本文是在讲作者为什么删除外卖APP,便利性不值得付出的代价。由此可知,D项“The Convenience Was Not Worth The Cost(便利性不值得付出代价)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。
D
According to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry Perhaps not since high school.
Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.
Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.
Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction.
12. What does paragraph 1 focus on
A. The opinion of U.S. adults about art.
B. The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.
C. The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.
D. The connection between everyday experiences and art.
13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion
A. Art reveals the nature of life. B. Art gives way to material pursuits.
C. Life without art is meaningless. D. Background music is a kind of art.
14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5
A. Art awakes people’s talents. B. Art improves physical health.
C. Art brings us closer to nature. D. Art makes life fuller and happier.
15. What might be the best title
A. Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury B. Art: A Bridge, Not a Barrier
C. Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D. Art: A Pleasure, Not a Burden
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术这种现象以及艺术的重要性,艺术应该是一种生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.(根据美国艺术协会的说法,超过三分之二的美国成年人说艺术“让我超越了日常经历”。尽管如此,2017年只有30%的人参加了任何类型的音乐会;23%的人参观了艺术博物馆;6%的人参加了文学活动。只有不到一半的人积极创作艺术)”可知,第一段主要讲的是就艺术而言,价值观和行为之间的不匹配。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake.(很多时候,我们让现实生活阻碍了艺术,相比之下,艺术显得微不足道。但这是一个错误)”可知,艺术让位于物质追求是错误的想法。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.(想想当你听到一段音乐想哭的时候。或者回忆起当你盯着一个精致的栩栩如生的雕塑时你的心跳。很有可能是它刺激了突然的觉醒,就像呼吸了烟雾弥漫的空气后,肺部吸入纯氧后的休克一样)”可推知,作者在第5段想表达的是艺术使生活更充实、更快乐。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction.(如果你是那些认为艺术是“体验和参与的纯粹乐趣”的人中的一员,你可能会像在外面吃饭或跳伞一样看待它:在你有限的时间和金钱预算中,它是一种奢侈品。因此,它可能会像其他小爱好一样受到同样的对待。不要犯这种错误。把艺术看作是锻炼或睡眠:是充满深刻满足感的生活的必需品)”可知,文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术这种现象以及艺术的重要性,艺术应该是一种生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。由此可知,A选项“Art: A Habit, Not a Luxury(艺术:一种习惯,而不是奢侈品)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Crab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. ___16___ However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.
With no one there to get them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. ___17___”
Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.
But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: ___18___ In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.
___19___ Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.
Chloé Dubois, head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ ___20___ There aren’t many examples of programs like this.”
A. It’s a real win-win.
B. The Mississippi program is a pioneer.
C. It just becomes this awful cycle of death.
D. Shrimpers are informed of basic knowledge of fishing.
E. In the meantime, the Mississippi program is expanding.
F. That’s good news for crab fishers’ chances of pulling in a good catch.
G. A $5 reward is paid to shrimpers to collect and recycle abandoned crab traps.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是废弃蟹笼的危害和解决方案。
【16题详解】
空前“Crab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out.(蟹笼的工作原理是这样的:螃蟹爬进去,但不爬出来。)”说明蟹笼可以抓住螃蟹,空格处应该接着说这有什么好处,F选项“That’s good news for crab fishers’ chances of pulling in a good catch.(这对捕蟹者来说是个好消息,因为他们有机会捉到好蟹。)”承接上文,说明了用蟹笼对捕蟹者的好处,与下文“However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.(然而,当蟹笼在海里丢失时,它们就会对各种动物构成威胁。)”构成转折关系;因此,F选项符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
空前“Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die.(海洋生物陷入了陷阱。最终,它们不能吃东西,所以就死了,然后其他海洋生物就被它们吸引了。它们落入陷阱,然后就死了。)”说的是一些生物的死亡会带来另一些生物的死亡,是一种恶性循环,C选项“It just becomes this awful cycle of death.(这就变成了可怕的死亡循环。)”承接上文,说明上文所说的内容是一种不好的循环,符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
空前“But a group in Mississippi has found a solution(但密西西比州的一个组织找到了一个解决方案)”说明密西西比州的一个组织找到了一个解决方案,空格处应该说明这个解决方案的具体内容,G选项“A $5 reward is paid to shrimpers to collect and recycle abandoned crab traps.(捕虾者收集和回收废弃的捕蟹笼可以获得5美元的奖励。)”阐述了这种回收捕蟹笼的解决方案,因此承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
19题详解】
空后“Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.(野生动物更安全了,水更干净了,捕虾人遇到的捕蟹笼越来越少,这是一个明显的趋势。)”说明野生动物和人都更安全了,是双赢的局面,A选项“It’s a real win-win.(这是一个真正的双赢。)”说明了后文内容所说是一个双赢的局面,故选A。
【20题详解】
空后“There aren’t many examples of programs like this.(这样的项目并不多见。)”说明这种项目部多见,B选项“The Mississippi program is a pioneer.(密西西比项目是一个先锋。)”说明这个项目是先锋,也就是不太多见的意思,和空后描述一致,因此符合语境,故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的神农架林区的多样化的自然景观。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2016年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产,神农架林区被广阔的森林覆盖,培育了无数的植物和动物,以及代代相传的传说和故事。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作状语,又因为提示词nurture和主语之间是主动关系,所以用非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语。故填nurturing。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰空格前的名词,又因为pass和legends and stories之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填passed。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:自然环境在很大程度上没有受到破坏,这使游客有机会欣赏独特的美景。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,先行词是整个主句是物,且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词which来引导非限制定语从句。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:前往神农架的游客可以在离神农架所有景区最近的木峪镇安顿下来。分析句意再根据空格后的名词Shennongjia可知,此处用介词to作后置定语表示“前往”神农架的游客。故填to。

【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。根据空格后的形容词sick可知,定冠词the+形容词表示一类人,所以此处用the sick表示“病人”。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:位于木榆市的神农架自然历史博物馆是一个纪念神农的博物馆,展示了2000多种植物。根据上文的and和provides可知,and连接两个并列动词,且本句的主是第三人称单数形式,所以此处用动词的第三人称形式,同时与上文provides并列。故填displays。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:神农架提供了多种选择。根据空格前的a variety of可知,此处应该用名词的复数形式options,表示各种各样的观点。故填options。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:沿着楼梯可以看到不同的景色:竹海、石林和长满鲜花和绿色植物的高原草地,攀登永远不会无聊。分析句式结构可知,此处用形容词作表语,又因为主语The climb是物,所以用形容词boring修饰物表示“令人厌烦的、无聊的”故填boring。

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Ben,
I understand your feelings. Sometimes we joke too much without realizing the potential impact on others. Here are some tips to help you strike a balance.
Firstly, keep an eye on the reactions of your partners. If a joke lands poorly, stop and adjust your behavior accordingly. And put yourself in others’ shoes and consider how your jokes might affect them. Do remember to avoid targeting individuals, and be mindful of sensitive topics. If necessary, offer a sincere apology for any offense caused by your jokes.
Humor is a powerful tool, but it’s important to use it wisely. I hope these suggestions will be of some help to you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
范例2:
Dear Ben,
Humor is a powerful tool in strengthening bonds, but it should never come at the cost of hurting others. Therefore, it’s vital to strike a balance.
If you think it may offend others, it’s best to avoid making that joke. If you unintentionally make a joke that offends someone, why not apologize sincerely and tell them you didn’t mean to cause harm. Additionally, actively engaging in meaningful conversations and putting yourself in your friends’ shoes will enable you to tell jokes more appropriately.
By being mindful of your jokes, I believe you will build a positive connection with your friends. Best wishes!
Li Hua
范例3:
Dear Ben,
Cheer up, my friend! Even comedians bomb on stage sometimes, right
It’s awesome that you’re self-aware and open to making adjustments. Try sensing the mood of the conversation and being sensitive to your classmates’ reactions. Remember a good laugh is enjoyable, but timing is crucial. Take a moment to reflect on your interactions and consider sharing your concerns with your classmates; they’ll likely to appreciate your honesty. Remember, it’s all about timing. Keep smiling and adapting — you’ll find the right balance! Stay funny, stay cool!
Best,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Mystery of the “Unfriendly” Neighbor
Every morning, Mai would pass her neighbor’s fence with Chó, a German shepherd. For her, walking by Mr. Groll’s yard was the best part of their morning walk and also the worst. It was the best part because the roses along the way seemed to greet them through their scents, “Good morning, Chó,” “Hello, Mai!”. Then the worst part — the unfriendly shape nearby: Mr. Groll. Every time, Mai would offer a polite greeting to Mr. Groll, and Chó, being friendly, would thump (拍打) her tail. Typically, there was no response. Still, Mai knew he was there, watching behind his fence. He sounded out of breath, and the gate swung nervously in his hand.
“Why does Mr. Groll ignore me ” It remained a mystery to Mai. Was he afraid of her because she was blind Disabilities sometimes scared grown-ups. Then Mai remembered: the previous day, she heard him playing with her friend Jimmy, who was in a wheelchair.
Maybe Mr. Groll didn’t like Vietnamese (越南的) neighbors. Some folks were said to dislike people from faraway places. No, that couldn’t be it. Every Saturday Mr. Groll and Mai’s big brother, Lien, helped each other with yard work. They were friends.
Well, then, Mai thought: “Maybe he doesn’t like me because I’m a girl.” Then she remembered her friend Jana. Mr. Groll would respond happily to her greeting. Mai’s heart twisted: “Mr. Groll likes Jimmy. And Lien. And Jana. But not me and Chó...”
“Me and Chó!” An idea brightened Mai’s mystery. Maybe she did know why Mr. Groll didn’t talk to her!
“Down,” Mai ordered, letting go of Chó’s harness (拴狗绳). Surprised, Chó flopped to the ground. Mai attached her harness to a post, and felt her way along the fence cautiously.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答;
3. 参考问题(无需作答)。
① Was Mr. Groll a real unfriendly neighbor If not, how would he show his friendliness to Mai
② How can you make your writing agree with the fact that Mai is blind
Paragraph 1: The gate squeaked (嘎吱作响) open. “Mai! Be careful!”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: But being scared of dogs wasn’t funny.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范例1:
The gate squeaked open. “Mai! Be careful!” Mr. Groll’s startled voice steadied Mai’s courage while his hand steadied her elbow. “You... you can please solve my mystery,” Mai stammered. Then she took a deep breath.“It isn’t because I’m blind that you don’t like me. Or because I am a girl from Vietnam.” Mai sighed. “ It’s Chó who scares you when we walk by. That’s why you are shaking even now.” Mr. Groll’s large voice shrank. “I like you, Mai. And Chó, too. But up close, Chó scares my words away.” His breath sounded thin as a worn-out blanket. “A German shepherd is a very big dog,” he said in a voice that told Mai he thought Mai would laugh at him.
But being scared of dogs wasn’t funny. Mai told Mr. Groll, “Your fear of Chó may be big, but friendship is bigger. We will e with me.” Mai then heard a smile in Mr. Groll’s voice. “OK”, he said, “I trust you, my friend.” “Friend! He called me. We are friends!”, hearing that, excitement flooded Mai. She led him back to Chó, and told Mr. Groll how gentle Chó was. Then she took Mr. Groll’s hand in hers and guided it to Chó’s head. Hesitantly, Mr. Groll petted Chó’s ears. Friendly Chó — good Chó — thumped her tail. And the mystery was solved; their new friendship began.
范例2:
The gate squeaked open. “Mai! Be careful!” Mai froze for a moment, realizing that Mr. Groll was genuinely concerned about her safety. Mai smiled, realizing that her assumptions were incorrect. It wasn’t about disability, nationality, or gender. There must be more to his silence than unfriendliness. The Mai asked hopefully, “Mr. Groll, you never respond to me. But it doesn’t mean you dislike me, right ” “Of course not!” Mr. Groll began to share his own struggles. “You see, I’ve always been scared of dogs. It’s a childhood fear that stuck with me,” he admitted, in a shy voice.
But being scared of dogs wasn’t funny. Mai wanted to help him overcome his fear. “Chó is a gentle and friendly e along. I’d like to introduce you to her.” Mai said to Mr. Groll. After a moment of hesitation, Mr. Groll agreed and walked towards Chó, carrying Mai by the arm. As they approached, Chó thumped his tail against the ground. Mr. Groll sounded out of breath. Mai held Chó by the harness on his back, “Chó won’t hurt you!” Then came a sigh of relief. Mai smiled and invited Mr. Groll to pet Chó. “Maybe next time.” They laughed loud and friendly Chó thumped his tail.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述Mai每次和德国牧羊犬Chó经过邻居Groll先生院子的篱笆时,Mai和Groll先生打招呼,他都不理睬Mai。Mai以为他不喜欢女孩或者不喜欢远处来的人。但事实证明不是这样,Groll先生不和Mai打招呼的真相是Groll害怕狗。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“大门吱吱地开了。“Mai!小心!””可知,第一段可描写Groll先生不和Mai打招呼的真相。
②由第二段首句内容“但是怕狗一点也不好笑。”可知,第二段可描写Mai帮Groll先生克服对狗的恐惧。
2. 续写线索:Mai请求Groll先生解开谜团——Mai说出自己的想法——Groll先生承认自己害怕——Mai答应帮助Groll先生——Mai告诉Groll先生Chó很温柔——Groll先生不再害怕Chó——新友谊开始
3. 词汇激活

On January 14, 2006, Ben Keene received an email that changed his life. He had just taken a sip of hot tea when the message popped up, and Keene did a double-take at the subject line: “A TRIBE IS WANTED”.
From there, Ben co-founded Tribewanted, an eco-friendly sustainable community existing in the virtual world of the internet and on an actual desert island at the same time.
With huge media interest, the courageous and bold idea could have had enormous consequences for tourism. The idea behind Tribewanted was to recruit (招募) a group of similar people online before heading to the Fijian Island of Vorovoro to build a sustainable community alongside the local native tribe.
The idea was swept along with a flood of interest, with the island lease (租约) was secured, the virtual community sprung to life. All major decisions on the island were voted on by an online tribe that anyone around the world could join. The idea was so exciting that the journey was turned into a 5 part BBC series “Paradise or Bust” and a book, Tribewanted.
Ben spent 10 years building and expanding Tribewanted beyond the crowdfunded sustainable-tourism villages on an island in Fiji, to a beach in Sierra Leone and a farm in Umbria. He faced challenges including a fire sweeping through the island in the first week of the project, a military coup (政变), and a hurricane that threatened to destroy the emerging village. Online disagreements also made decision making hard and pushed the project to the edge.
The project survived, and for a while, thrived. From there Ben joined Escape the City, a global community with the mission to help one million people to do work that matters to them and the world, inspiring thousands of talented career changers and ambitious businessmen to take the leap and launch their ideas into the world. Ben led the Escape school team for 5 years, and became a business advisor and guider at Virgin Startup, and Zinc.

About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats from my phone. Not because I didn’t like using it. I loved it. Like most cheap, modern luxuries though, there are hidden costs.
“Restaurants are barely surviving. Delivery apps will kill them” was a headline in a newspaper, one of many stories exploring the unfair sign-up strategies and high fees taken by these tech companies. Moreover, there were reports about bad working conditions for delivery riders, leading to tragic accidents, even deaths. That’s truly unbearable!
I deleted the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering online, now I either cook something or get takeaway nearby. Cooking better food has been a great motivation for me. On lazy nights, I’ve discovered that I can still make a satisfying meal by using whatever ingredients I have on hand. This approach has also saved me much money. As with lots of online shopping, I’d been ordering food without much thought about the cost. Cooking is almost always cheaper and so is old-school takeaway.
These changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that they meet the needs of the convenience-seeking, time-starved individuals. But rather than adding to my stress, having to plan meals again somehow made life less so. Some days it’s been a good motivation to stop work earlier, and engage in activities like going to the shops, or start chopping onions. Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.
The process has made me think about how technological advances do save us time, but time for what For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had given up for things far less nourishing (有营养的).

A Addictive and money-saving. B. Cheap and convenient.

A. Reflecting on the influence of hi-tech.
B. Adapting to life free of delivery apps.
C. Getting into a healthy eating habit.
D. Rediscovering the fun of cooking.

According to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art — we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry Perhaps not since high school.
Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier.
Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality.
Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in,” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don’t make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction.
12. What does paragraph 1 focus on
A. The opinion of U.S. adults about art.
B. The types of art that U.S. adults engage with.
C. The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art.
D. The connection between everyday experiences and art.
13. What is a mistaken idea in the author’s opinion
A. Art reveals the nature of life. B. Art gives way to material pursuits.
C. Life without art is meaningless. D. Background music is a kind of art.
14. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5
A. Art awakes people’s talents. B. Art improves physical health.
C. Art brings us closer to nature. D. Art makes life fuller and happier.
15. What might be the best title
A. Art: A Habit Not a Luxury B. Art: A Bridge, Not a Barrier
C. Art: A Decoration, Not a Reality D. Art: A Pleasure, Not a Burden

Crab traps (蟹笼) work like this: crabs crawl in, but they don’t crawl out. ___16___ However, when traps get lost at sea, they become a threat to all sorts of animals.
With no one there to get them back, the traps continue to fish, says a researcher. “Marine life gets into the trap. Eventually, they can’t eat so they die, and then other marine life becomes attracted to it. They get into the trap, and they die. ___17___”
Abandoned crab traps harm wildlife and affect other fishers, especially shrimpers (捕虾者). Large and heavy crab traps get caught in shrimping nets, tearing them open or blocking them from catching shrimp. Helpless shrimpers, with nowhere to put the smelly traps, generally just throw them back, continuing the cycle.
But a group in Mississippi has found a solution: ___18___ In just three years, the program has removed almost 3,000 crab traps from Mississippi waters. Crab traps are marked, and those that are still in good condition are returned to their owners, while traps that are too broken down are recycled.
___19___ Wildlife is safer, the water is cleaner and there’s been a clear trend that shrimpers are encountering fewer traps.
Chloé Dubois head of a nonprofit focused on marine debris (废弃物), calls it “a great success story.” Dubois says there have been programs historically very successful at recycling waste products at the end of their life cycle. But in the ghost fishing and marine debris field, she says, “ ___20___ There aren’t many examples of programs like this.”
A. It’s a real win-win.
B. The Mississippi program is a pioneer.
C. It just becomes this awful cycle of death.
D. Shrimpers are informed of basic knowledge of fishing.
E. In the meantime the Mississippi program is expanding.
F. That’s good news for crab fishers’ chances of pulling in a good catch.
G. A $5 reward is paid to shrimpers to collect and recycle abandoned crab traps.

The Mystery of the “Unfriendly” Neighbor
Every morning, Mai would pass her neighbor’s fence with Chó, a German shepherd. For her, walking by Mr. Groll’s yard was the best part of their morning walk and also the worst. It was the best part because the roses along the way seemed to greet them through their scents, “Good morning, Chó,” “Hello, Mai!”. Then the worst part — the unfriendly shape nearby: Mr. Groll. Every time, Mai would offer a polite greeting to Mr. Groll, and Chó, being friendly, would thump (拍打) her tail. Typically, there was no response. Still, Mai knew he was there, watching behind his fence. He sounded out of breath, and the gate swung nervously in his hand.
“Why does Mr. Groll ignore me ” It remained a mystery to Mai. Was he afraid of her because she was blind Disabilities sometimes scared grown-ups. Then Mai remembered: the previous day, she heard him playing with her friend Jimmy, who was in a wheelchair.
Maybe Mr. Groll didn’t like Vietnamese (越南的) neighbors. Some folks were said to dislike people from faraway places. No, that couldn’t be it. Every Saturday Mr. Groll and Mai’s big brother, Lien, helped each other with yard work. They were friends.
Well, then, Mai thought: “Maybe he doesn’t like me because I’m a girl.” Then she remembered her friend Jana. Mr. Groll would respond happily to her greeting. Mai’s heart twisted: “Mr. Groll likes Jimmy. And Lien. And Jana. But not me and Chó...”
“Me and Chó!” An idea brightened Mai’s mystery. Maybe she did know why Mr. Groll didn’t talk to her!
“Down,” Mai ordered, letting go of Chó’s harness (拴狗绳). Surprised, Chó flopped to the ground. Mai attached her harness to a post, and felt her way along the fence cautiously.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
