Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who set up her business AilieCandy in May 2015. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it ” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He suggested that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s agreement, she spent the next two years researching online to get a candy that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also went to dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. In the end, she succeeded in making a kind of candy product — CanCandy.
Quickly, CanCandy sells very good in the supermarket. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s popularity as a young entrepreneur. Moore is excited about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven by profit (利润). Moore wants to use her special talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
24. What did her father advise her when Moore wanted to start her own company
A. His father advised her to borrow money from the bank.
B. His father advised her to turn to her teacher for help.
C. His father advised her to reduce the sugar content in the candy.
D. His father advised her to do a survey and seek advice from dentists.
25. What is special about Moore’s CanCandy
A. It is delicious and friendly to teeth. B. It is colorful and well wrapped.
C. It has different shapes. D. It is tasty and colorful.
26. What does Moore expect from her business
A. To earn more profit. B. To make others happy.
C. To help disabled children. D. To make herself famous.

A. An Outstanding Teenage Dentist B. An Poor Entrepreneur
C. Moore’s AilieCandy D. A Responsible Teacher
C
The world’s animal populations have decreased by more than two-thirds since 1970, according to a recent research from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The London group provided information on 32,000 wildlife populations which included more than 5,000 species. The researchers found that population sizes had reduced by 69 percent on average. They said the loss of forests, human exploitation (开发) of the environment, pollution, and climate change were great causes of the loss. Land-use change is still the biggest threat (威胁) to wildlife. However, the researchers added, “if we cannot limit warming to 1.5℃, climate change is likely to become the primary cause of biodiversity (生物多样性) loss in the coming years.”
Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly affected. The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have reduced by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016.
These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population reduction can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s (生态系统) ability to function. Humans depend on a stable climate, predictable weather patterns, and productive farmland and fisheries to thrive (蓬勃发展), but the current trends are severe enough to threaten many life-sustaining systems.
Our future depends on reversing (扭转) the loss of nature just as much as it depends on addressing climate change. And you can’t solve one without solving the other. Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. If nothing changes, animal populations will undoubtedly continue to fall, driving wildlife to extinction and threatening the wholeness of the ecosystems on which we all depend.
28. Which may be the main cause of the decrease of the wildlife populations in the future
A. Illegal hunting. B. Global warming.
C. Land-use change. D. Environmental pollution.
29. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By listing data. B. By telling a story.
C By referring to a concept. D. By analyzing the causes.
30 Why does the author worry about current trends
A. Because the reduction of species will impact the ecosystem.
B. Because humans will be the biggest threat to the wildlife.
C. Because the increase of species’ population will threaten human beings.
D. Because the humans have been expecting to thrive.
31. Who plays the leading role in reversing the loss
A. Animals. B. Animal protection organizations.
C. Research teams. D. Human beings.
D
Capybaras (水豚) are group animals, so they do not like being alone. In fact, leaving a capybara alone is not only uncomfortable for the animal, but it can be harmful to their physical health, as well as their mental well-being. Capybaras love to talk to each other throughout the day. Groups of capybaras spend their days sunbathing along the edge of rivers, where they enjoy swimming together in the water. They spend half of their lives in the water.
Since they spend so much time around water, it makes sense that capybaras would come into contact with a wide variety of other animals who stop in for a drink. Capybaras are gentle and peaceful river animals who enjoy napping (小睡) along the water’s edge — and often do so with other animal species as well. You can find pictures all over the Internet of these lovely animals lying beside turtles, birds, ducks, rats, and even monkeys as they enjoy a nap by the water.
Capybaras are also known to be excellent and friendly taxis in the animal world. Birds and monkeys commonly stand on the back of a capybara for a ride as capybaras search for grass to eat. Sometimes capybaras even serve as boats for other animals, letting them sit on their heads as they swim through the water!
However, if you see a capybara lying on its side with a yellow-headed caracara (长腿兀鹰) stopped on its body, don’t panic just yet. Most likely the capybara is enjoying a nice spa day. Birds often make friends with capybaras and act as a natural cleaning service, picking off bugs (虫子) that live in the capybara’s fur. It’s a symbiotic (共生的) relationship, since the yellow-headed caracara also gets to enjoy eating a bunch of tasty bugs.
32. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about capybaras
A. Their life habits. B. Their survival skills.
C. Their appearance. D. Their risks in health.
33. Why does the author call capybaras “friendly taxis”
A. They search for food for birds and monkeys.
B. They carry their food by riding on another animal.
C. They allow other animals to stay on their backs or heads.
D. They guide other animals to swim through the water.
34. What does the author mean by saying “don’t panic just yet” in the last paragraph
A. The caracara won’t attack you.
B The capybara won’t suffer any injury.
C. The caracara may just take a break.
D. The capybara may be providing its cleaning service.
35. What is true about capybaras according to the passage
A. They hate lying beside lovely animals.
B. They enjoy swimming alone.
C. They are aggressive animals.
D. They can live in harmony with other animal species.

67. 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。
Ten years ago, I worked as a teacher in a kindergarten in a community. We had just read stories about heroes, and I had assigned my students to write an article or draw a picture about hero in their hearts. Everyone was sparing no efforts to create works such as scientists, firemen and astronauts. Some children had chosen to draw their family members, such as, their mothers or fathers.
Nevertheless, there was a boy in my class who had trouble with the task. Carl had touched my heart early in the school year. He had dark brown hair and wore his thick glasses. He looks like a younger version of Harry Pouter at best. . He often snorted (鼻息声) when he laughed, and the rest of the class would laugh along with him. Carl suffered from autism (自闭症), but that didn’t matter to me or his classmates. We all loved him just the way he was. He was full of wonderful stories and brought a special feeling to our classroom. I sat and watched as Daniel worked with Carl. Daniel had a wonderful way of interacting with Carl and he helped him find his hero. Within a few minutes, Carl quickly began drawing blue lines and curves on his paper — he was particularly fond of the color blue.
Finally, it was time for everybody to share their hero pictures. I listened as each student proudly stood in front of the class, picture held high, and described his or her hero. Several students described their heroes by giving them superhuman strength. It was finally Carl’s turn to share his hero. Carl stood up and anxiously placed his large blue stick-figured drawing in front of his face. He then quickly burst out that it was a picture of me. He added that I helped him learn things and then quickly sat back down. Tears began to form in the corner of my eyes, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was Daniel’s turn to share his picture, I was certain it would be a policeman.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Carl suddenly stood up, and put his arms up in the air as if he were going to take off and fly.

W: OK, thanks.

【答案】17. C 18. A 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【详解】Welcome to our museum! My name’s Greg and today I'll show you around the various collections we have here. First, we have a fine collection of the 20th and 21st century paintings, many by very well-known artists. This is also the collection that attracts the largest number of visitors, so it's best to go in early in the day, before the crowds arrive. Then there are the 19 th century paintings. Our museum was opened in the middle of that century, and several of the artists each donated one work—to get the museum started. So they’re of special interest to us. The sculpture gallery has a number of fine exhibits, but I’m afraid it’s currently closed for repair. You’ll need to come back next year to see it properly. Besides, there's the collection of coins. This is what you might call a focused, specialist collection, because all the coins came from this country and were produced between two thousand and a thousand years ago. And many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging their gardens, and donated to the museum! OK. Now I’d like to inform you of some more practical information. The restrooms and tea rooms …

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who set up her business AilieCandy in May 2015. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it ” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He suggested that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s agreement, she spent the next two years researching online to get a candy that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also went to dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. In the end, she succeeded in making a kind of candy product — CanCandy.
Quickly, CanCandy sells very good in the supermarket. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s popularity as a young entrepreneur. Moore is excited about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven by profit (利润). Moore wants to use her special talent to help others find their smiles.

The world’s animal populations have decreased by more than two-thirds since 1970, according to a recent research from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The London group provided information on 32,000 wildlife populations which included more than 5,000 species. The researchers found that population sizes had reduced by 69 percent on average. They said the loss of forests, human exploitation (开发) of the environment, pollution, and climate change were great causes of the loss. Land-use change is still the biggest threat (威胁) to wildlife. However, the researchers added, “if we cannot limit warming to 1.5℃, climate change is likely to become the primary cause of biodiversity (生物多样性) loss in the coming years.”
Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly affected. The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have reduced by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016.
These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population reduction can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s (生态系统) ability to function. Humans depend on a stable climate, predictable weather patterns, and productive farmland and fisheries to thrive (蓬勃发展), but the current trends are severe enough to threaten many life-sustaining systems.
Our future depends on reversing (扭转) the loss of nature just as much as it depends on addressing climate change. And you can’t solve one without solving the other. Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. If nothing changes, animal populations will undoubtedly continue to fall, driving wildlife to extinction and threatening the wholeness of the ecosystems on which we all depend.
28. Which may be the main cause of the decrease of the wildlife populations in the future
A. Illegal hunting. B. Global warming.
C. Land-use change. D. Environmental pollution.
29. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By listing data. B. By telling a story.
C. By referring to a concept. D. By analyzing the causes.
30. Why does the author worry about current trends
A. Because the reduction of species will impact the ecosystem.
B. Because humans will be the biggest threat to the wildlife.
C. Because the increase of species’ population will threaten human beings.
D. Because the humans have been expecting to thrive.
31. Who plays the leading role in reversing the loss
A. Animals. B. Animal protection organizations.
C. Research teams. D. Human beings.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据世界自然基金会最近的一项研究，自1970年以来，世界动物数量减少了三分之二以上。文章分析了背后的原因以及解决方案。
28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the researchers added, “if we cannot limit warming to 1.5℃, climate change is likely to become the primary cause of biodiversity (生物多样性) loss in the coming years.”(然而，研究人员补充说，“如果我们不能将变暖限制在1.5℃，气候变化很可能成为未来几年生物多样性丧失的主要原因。”)”可知，全球变暖可能是未来野生动物数量减少的主要原因。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly affected. The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have reduced by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016.(拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区的野生动物种群受到严重影响。研究表明，在过去的50年里，这些地区的人口减少了94%。河流和湖泊野生动物种群数量减少最多。自1970年以来，淡水种群平均减少了83%。例如，1994年至2016年间，巴西亚马逊河地区的粉红河豚数量下降了65%)”可推知，第3段通过列出数据展开。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population reduction can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s (生态系统) ability to function.(这些发现是一个危险信号，警告人们即将出现更大的系统故障。即使一个物种的数量减少也会影响到其他物种，最终影响到生态系统的功能)”可知，作者担心当前的趋势因为物种的减少会影响生态系统。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. (从个人到公司再到政府，每个人都可以在扭转这些趋势方面发挥作用)”可知，人类在扭转损失方面发挥了主导作用。故选D。
D
Capybaras (水豚) are group animals, so they do not like being alone. In fact, leaving a capybara alone is not only uncomfortable for the animal, but it can be harmful to their physical health, as well as their mental well-being. Capybaras love to talk to each other throughout the day. Groups of capybaras spend their days sunbathing along the edge of rivers, where they enjoy swimming together in the water. They spend half of their lives in the water.
Since they spend so much time around water, it makes sense that capybaras would come into contact with a wide variety of other animals who stop in for a drink. Capybaras are gentle and peaceful river animals who enjoy napping (小睡) along the water’s edge — and often do so with other animal species as well. You can find pictures all over the Internet of these lovely animals lying beside turtles, birds, ducks, rats, and even monkeys as they enjoy a nap by the water.
Capybaras are also known to be excellent and friendly taxis in the animal world. Birds and monkeys commonly stand on the back of a capybara for a ride as capybaras search for grass to eat. Sometimes capybaras even serve as boats for other animals, letting them sit on their heads as they swim through the water!
However, if you see a capybara lying on its side with a yellow-headed caracara (长腿兀鹰) stopped on its body, don’t panic just yet. Most likely the capybara is enjoying a nice spa day. Birds often make friends with capybaras and act as a natural cleaning service, picking off bugs (虫子) that live in the capybara’s fur. It’s a symbiotic (共生的) relationship, since the yellow-headed caracara also gets to enjoy eating a bunch of tasty bugs.
32. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about capybaras
A. Their life habits. B. Their survival skills.
C. Their appearance. D. Their risks in health.
33. Why does the author call capybaras “friendly taxis”
A They search for food for birds and monkeys.
B. They carry their food by riding on another animal.
C. They allow other animals to stay on their backs or heads.
D. They guide other animals to swim through the water.
34. What does the author mean by saying “don’t panic just yet” in the last paragraph
A. The caracara won’t attack you.
B. The capybara won’t suffer any injury.
C. The caracara may just take a break.
D. The capybara may be providing its cleaning service.
35. What is true about capybaras according to the passage
A. They hate lying beside lovely animals.
B. They enjoy swimming alone.
C. They are aggressive animals.
D. They can live in harmony with other animal species.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了水豚的生活习性。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Capybaras (水豚) are group animals, so they do not like being alone. In fact, leaving a capybara alone is not only uncomfortable for the animal, but it can be harmful to their physical health, as well as their mental well-being. Capybaras love to talk to each other throughout the day. Groups of capybaras spend their days sunbathing along the edge of rivers, where they enjoy swimming together in the water. They spend half of their lives in the water.(水豚是群居动物，不喜欢独处。事实上，让水豚独处不仅会让它们感到不舒服，而且可能会损害它们的身体健康和心理健康。水豚喜欢整天互相交谈。成群的水豚整天在河边享受日光浴，并一起在水中游泳。它们一生的一半时间是在水中度过的)”可知，第一段主要介绍了水豚的生活习性。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Birds and monkeys commonly stand on the back of a capybara for a ride as capybaras search for grass to eat. Sometimes capybaras even serve as boats for other animals, letting them sit on their heads as they swim through the water!(当水豚寻找草吃时，鸟类和猴子通常会站在水豚的背上骑行。有时，水豚甚至充当其他动物的船，让它们在水中游泳时坐在头上！)”可知，作者称水豚为“友好的出租车”，因为它们允许其他动物呆在它们的背上或头上“搭便车”。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, if you see a capybara lying on its side with a yellow-headed caracara (长腿兀鹰) stopped on its body, don’t panic just yet. Most likely the capybara is enjoying a nice spa day. Birds often make friends with capybaras and act as a natural cleaning service, picking off bugs (虫子) that live in the capybara’s fur. It’s a symbiotic (共生的) relationship, since the yellow-headed caracara also gets to enjoy eating a bunch of tasty bugs.(不过，如果你看到水豚侧卧，身上停着一只长腿兀鹰，请先不要惊慌。水豚很可能正在享受美好的水疗日。鸟类经常与水豚交朋友，并充当天然的清洁服务，捕食生活在水豚毛皮中的虫子。这是一种共生的关系，因为黄头卡拉卡拉也可以享受吃一堆美味的虫子的乐趣)”可推知，作者说“先别慌”，是因为人们会误认为水豚正在受到伤害，其实它们在啄水豚身上的虫子，水豚不会受到任何伤害。故选 B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Capybaras are gentle and peaceful river animals who enjoy napping (小睡) along the water’s edge — and often do so with other animal species as well.(水豚是一种性情温和、平静的河流动物，它们喜欢在水边小睡，而且也经常与其他动物一起小睡)”、第三段“Capybaras are also known to be excellent and friendly taxis in the animal world.(水豚在动物世界中也被认为是优秀且友好的出租)”、第四段“Birds often make friends with capybaras(鸟类经常与水豚交朋友)”可知，水豚能与其他动物和谐相处。故选 D。

【答案】Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you are upset about your appearance. I could understand such kind of feeling as it once happened to me. Now, I’m writing to give you some advice to help you get rid of the trouble.
First of all, you should build up your self-confidence. Only when you are confident will you overcome the fear of your look. Second, you should keep it in mind that one’s beauty lies in his spirit other than appearance outside. What really matters is having a positive value. Last but not the least, you’d better make the most of your gifts so as to improve and make up for your weaknesses, which as a result will promote your self-confidence.
Hopefully, my advice will be of great benefit to you. Looking forward to your good news.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Ten years ago, I worked as a teacher in a kindergarten in a community. We had just read stories about heroes, and I had assigned my students to write an article or draw a picture about hero in their hearts. Everyone was sparing no efforts to create works such as scientists, firemen and astronauts. Some children had chosen to draw their family members, such as, their mothers or fathers.
Nevertheless, there was a boy in my class who had trouble with the task. Carl had touched my heart early in the school year. He had dark brown hair and wore his thick glasses. He looks like a younger version of Harry Pouter at best. . He often snorted (鼻息声) when he laughed, and the rest of the class would laugh along with him. Carl suffered from autism (自闭症), but that didn’t matter to me or his classmates. We all loved him just the way he was. He was full of wonderful stories and brought a special feeling to our classroom. I sat and watched as Daniel worked with Carl. Daniel had a wonderful way of interacting with Carl and he helped him find his hero. Within a few minutes, Carl quickly began drawing blue lines and curves on his paper — he was particularly fond of the color blue.
Finally, it was time for everybody to share their hero pictures. I listened as each student proudly stood in front of the class, picture held high, and described his or her hero. Several students described their heroes by giving them superhuman strength. It was finally Carl’s turn to share his hero. Carl stood up and anxiously placed his large blue stick-figured drawing in front of his face. He then quickly burst out that it was a picture of me. He added that I helped him learn things and then quickly sat back down. Tears began to form in the corner of my eyes, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was Daniel’s turn to share his picture, I was certain it would be a policeman.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Carl suddenly stood up, and put his arms up in the air as if he were going to take off and fly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was Daniel’s turn to share his picture, I was certain it would be a policeman. But he surprised me when he proudly held up a picture of his friend Carl. He shared that Carl was his hero because he had this sickness that made it really hard to learn, but he was like Superman and was really smart. He had drawn a red cape on his cartoon-like picture of Carl and decorated the costume with a large red “C” on Carl’s chest.
Carl suddenly stood up, and put his arms up in the air as if he were going to take off and fly. He joyfully shouted out, “I’m Superman!” The entire class stood up and began striking Superman gestures, too. Within minutes, we were all laughing as though we had each truly discovered the secret of becoming superheroes. Teachers are tasked with a very important job, leading their children in discovering their own amazing qualities and helping them find their inner superhero.
