My name is Joan MacDonald, and I am 75 years old. Five years ago I was overweight. I had to take medicine for high blood pressure and my arthritis (关节炎) was extremely painful. I often felt so tired that I had difficulty walking up and down stairs. I got emotional easily as well, and I was in great need of a change.
My daughter Michelle came to me and offered me the chance to work out with her that winter. I would be taking part in an online group with other women who were all working to change their habits and take the best possible care of themselves.
With the guidance of Michelle and the team of women, I learned how to use an iPhone for the first time in my life. It was unbelievably hard work, and there were many days when I was in tears over technology but I never gave up. I renewed my gym membership, created balanced meals, moved around with confidence in the gym and I understood the importance of lifting heavy weight.
My motto (座右铭) was, “I don’t expect my changes are very fast. I am to go at my own pace.” I think it human nature to wonder whether we are on the right path or not, especially on a long journey. With the months flying by I could see that we were all changing. My confidence in the gym was growing. We were all cheering each other on.
I’m now five years into my journey. I can honestly say that I am a different woman than I was when I started out. I just love connecting with other women and men who are also choosing to live a healthier lifestyle.
If you wish to get your health improved, I can tell you that it is not an easy journey to go on. However, it is well worth it. I hope my story can give you the confidence.
4. What made the author realize she had to change
A. The guidance of her daughter. B. Her own health condition.
C. Her friends’ encouragement. D. The modern technology.
5. Why did Joan MacDonald cry
A. Her arthritis made her very painful. B. She couldn’t be able to use her iPhone.
C. Her daughter didn’t live together with her. D. She had a bad relationship with her friends.
6. Which word can best describe how Joan MacDonald’s progressed
A. Steadily. B. Quickly. C. Suddenly. D. Hardly.
7. What message does the author try to tell us
A. Praise makes good men better. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. It’s never too late to get changed. D. One hour today is worth two tomorrow.
C
For most of human history, the stars shone brightly in a dark night sky. But today, cities and towns, increasingly lit by artificial light at night, dramatically reduce the visibility of stars.
Satellite data suggests that light pollution has been increasing in many parts of the world over the last decade. However, satellites miss the blue light of LEDs (发光的二极管), which are commonly used for outdoor lighting, resulting in an underestimate of light pollution.
An international citizen science project called Globe at Night (环球夜景) aims to measure how everyday people’s view of the sky is changing. The data shows that the night sky got, on average, 9.6% brighter every year. For many people, the night sky today is twice as bright as it was eight years ago. The brighter the sky, the fewer stars you can see. If this trend continues, a child born today in a place where 250 stars are visible now would only be able to see 100 stars on his/her 18th birthday.
The main factors leading to increasing brightness of the night sky are industrialization and the growing use of LEDs for outdoor lighting. The loss of dark skies threatens our ability as astronomers to do good science. But everyday people feel this loss too. Starry night skies have inspired artists, writers, musicians and philosophers for thousands of years. Light pollution also has a bad effect on the daily cycle of light and dark that plants and animals use to adjust their lifestyle. Two-thirds of the world’s key biodiversity (生物多样性) areas are affected by light pollution.
Individuals and their communities can make simple changes to reduce light pollution. The secret is using the right amount of light, in the right place and at the right time. Making outdoor lights shine downward, using lights that give out more yellow-colored light instead of white light and putting on light timers can all help reduce light pollution. A view of about 2,500 stars in a truly dark sky might convince you that dark skies are a resource worth saving.
8. How is the first paragraph mainly developed
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By reaching a conclusion. D. By raising a question.
9. What do the figures in the third paragraph indicate
A. The light pollution is getting more serious.
B. The night sky today gets darker than before.
C. It’s difficult to imagine a child’s fast growth.
D. LEDs are commonly used for outdoor lighting.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The bad effects of light pollution. B. The factors causing light pollution.
C. The functions of starry night skies. D. Key biodiversity areas in the world.
11. What is the purpose of writing this text
A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To suggest a solution.
C To remember a scientist. D. To increase public awareness.
D
According to a new study released Wednesday, human activity has now gone past six of nine planetary boundaries, which are ways to measure the stability and livability of Earth for humans. The study published in the journal Science Advances represents the third update of the planetary boundary framework carried out by 29 scientists from eight different countries.
The planetary boundaries concept identifies nine global priorities relating to human—caused changes to the environment. The concept sets boundaries on how much we can allow ourselves to impact not only the climate but also other global processes that can support modern civilization. Respecting these safety boundaries would minimize the risk of human activities setting off a dramatic and potentially irrecoverable change in global environmental conditions.
Crossing six boundaries does not necessarily mean a disaster to follow, but it is a clear warning signal. “We can regard it as we do our own blood pressure,” said the study lead author Katherine Richardson of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. “A blood pressure over 120 is not a guarantee of a heart attack but it increases the risk of one. For our own and our children’s sakes we need to reduce the pressure on these six planetary boundaries.”
As pressure on the planet increases and vital boundaries are being violated, we don’t know how long we can keep turning against these key boundaries before combined pressures lead to irrecoverable change and harm.
Richardson likens the framework to a bank statement—“it tells us how much of various resources of the Earth system we can allow ourselves to use without greatly increasing the risk in the overall environmental conditions we experience on Earth.”
According to Richardson, the study shows that focusing on climate alone will not solve the climate crisis; it must be seen together with the biodiversity crisis. Life is what makes this planet unique and it is the interactions between land, ocean, atmosphere and life that together provide conditions upon which our societies depend.
There is still time to prevent disasters, but we must take action, not next year or next month but now.
12. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Our planet is safe enough to live on.
B. Man puts our environment in great danger.
C. The environmental stability can be ensured.
D. The earth we live on is in a healthy condition.
13. What does the underlined word “minimize” mean in the second paragraph
A. Reduce. B. Increase. C. Reconsider. D. Challenge.
14. What does the writer mention a blood pressure over 120 to indicate
A. Blood pressure is an important indicator in measuring physical health.
B. Breaking six boundaries is certain to result in environmental disasters.
C. Crossing boundaries is a clear warning against damaging environment.
D. Paying attention to the behavior towards environment is very important.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The nine planetary boundaries we should never go past
B. How much of various resources of the Earth system we can use
C. The ideal conditions upon which our humans depend to survive
D. Immediate actions should be taken to protect the environment

The Right Thing to Do
“Today’s test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” Miss Natasha announced to the class.
Miss Natasha collected everyone’s test papers, and then cleared her throat to announce the results as she distributed the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about what their scores might be.
Ali and Bob had been competitors since class one and each year it was always one of the two that came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between them both, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter, 18,” announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, “Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19… and lastly Alia, 15.”
Once Miss Natasha had distributed (分发) all of the test papers in class, everyone soon realized that Ali had beaten Bobby one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. However, if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
After considering the situation, he decided to keep quiet and went home. However, he kept thinking about it all evening. Should he or shouldn’t he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn’t tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn’t tell the teacher about it and stayed top of the class, he would have taken a title that should have belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would no longer be top of the class. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

My daughter Michelle came to me and offered me the chance to work out with her that winter. I would be taking part in an online group with other women who were all working to change their habits and take the best possible care of themselves.
With the guidance of Michelle and the team of women, I learned how to use an iPhone for the first time in my life. It was unbelievably hard work, and there were many days when I was in tears over technology but I never gave up. I renewed my gym membership, created balanced meals, moved around with confidence in the gym and I understood the importance of lifting heavy weight.
My motto (座右铭) was, “I don’t expect my changes are very fast. I am to go at my own pace.” I think it human nature to wonder whether we are on the right path or not, especially on a long journey. With the months flying by I could see that we were all changing. My confidence in the gym was growing. We were all cheering each other on.
I’m now five years into my journey. I can honestly say that I am a different woman than I was when I started out. I just love connecting with other women and men who are also choosing to live a healthier lifestyle.
If you wish to get your health improved, I can tell you that it is not an easy journey to go on. However, it is well worth it. I hope my story can give you the confidence.
4. What made the author realize she had to change
A. The guidance of her daughter. B. Her own health condition.
C. Her friends’ encouragement. D. The modern technology.
5. Why did Joan MacDonald cry
A. Her arthritis made her very painful. B. She couldn’t be able to use her iPhone.
C. Her daughter didn’t live together with her. D. She had a bad relationship with her friends.
6. Which word can best describe how Joan MacDonald’s progressed
A. Steadily. B. Quickly. C. Suddenly. D. Hardly.
7. What message does the author try to tell us

For most of human history, the stars shone brightly in a dark night sky. But today, cities and towns, increasingly lit by artificial light at night, dramatically reduce the visibility of stars.
Satellite data suggests that light pollution has been increasing in many parts of the world over the last decade. However, satellites miss the blue light of LEDs (发光的二极管), which are commonly used for outdoor lighting, resulting in an underestimate of light pollution.
An international citizen science project called Globe at Night (环球夜景) aims to measure how everyday people’s view of the sky is changing. The data shows that the night sky got, on average, 9.6% brighter every year. For many people, the night sky today is twice as bright as it was eight years ago. The brighter the sky, the fewer stars you can see. If this trend continues, a child born today in a place where 250 stars are visible now would only be able to see 100 stars on his/her 18th birthday.
The main factors leading to increasing brightness of the night sky are industrialization and the growing use of LEDs for outdoor lighting. The loss of dark skies threatens our ability as astronomers to do good science. But everyday people feel this loss too. Starry night skies have inspired artists, writers, musicians and philosophers for thousands of years. Light pollution also has a bad effect on the daily cycle of light and dark that plants and animals use to adjust their lifestyle. Two-thirds of the world’s key biodiversity (生物多样性) areas are affected by light pollution.
Individuals and their communities can make simple changes to reduce light pollution. The secret is using the right amount of light, in the right place and at the right time. Making outdoor lights shine downward, using lights that give out more yellow-colored light instead of white light and putting on light timers can all help reduce light pollution. A view of about 2,500 stars in a truly dark sky might convince you that dark skies are a resource worth saving.
8. How is the first paragraph mainly developed
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By reaching a conclusion. D. By raising a question.
9. What do the figures in the third paragraph indicate
A. The light pollution is getting more serious.
B. The night sky today gets darker than before.
C. It’s difficult to imagine a child’s fast growth.
D. LEDs are commonly used for outdoor lighting.
10. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The bad effects of light pollution. B. The factors causing light pollution.
C. The functions of starry night skies. D. Key biodiversity areas in the world.
11. What is the purpose of writing this text
A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To suggest a solution.
C. To remember a scientist. D. To increase public awareness.

According to a new study released Wednesday, human activity has now gone past six of nine planetary boundaries, which are ways to measure the stability and livability of Earth for humans. The study published in the journal Science Advances represents the third update of the planetary boundary framework carried out by 29 scientists from eight different countries.
The planetary boundaries concept identifies nine global priorities relating to human—caused changes to the environment. The concept sets boundaries on how much we can allow ourselves to impact not only the climate but also other global processes that can support modern civilization. Respecting these safety boundaries would minimize the risk of human activities setting off a dramatic and potentially irrecoverable change in global environmental conditions.
Crossing six boundaries does not necessarily mean a disaster to follow, but it is a clear warning signal. “We can regard it as we do our own blood pressure,” said the study lead author Katherine Richardson of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. “A blood pressure over 120 is not a guarantee of a heart attack but it increases the risk of one. For our own and our children’s sakes we need to reduce the pressure on these six planetary boundaries.”
As pressure on the planet increases and vital boundaries are being violated, we don’t know how long we can keep turning against these key boundaries before combined pressures lead to irrecoverable change and harm.
Richardson likens the framework to a bank statement—“it tells us how much of various resources of the Earth system we can allow ourselves to use without greatly increasing the risk in the overall environmental conditions we experience on Earth.”
According to Richardson, the study shows that focusing on climate alone will not solve the climate crisis; it must be seen together with the biodiversity crisis. Life is what makes this planet unique and it is the interactions between land, ocean, atmosphere and life that together provide conditions upon which our societies depend.
There is still time to prevent disasters, but we must take action, not next year or next month but now.
12. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Our planet is safe enough to live on.
B. Man puts our environment in great danger.
C. The environmental stability can be ensured.
D. The earth we live on is in a healthy condition.
13. What does the underlined word “minimize” mean in the second paragraph
A. Reduce. B. Increase. C. Reconsider. D. Challenge.
14. What does the writer mention a blood pressure over 120 to indicate
A. Blood pressure is an important indicator in measuring physical health.
B. Breaking six boundaries is certain to result in environmental disasters.
C. Crossing boundaries is a clear warning against damaging environment.
D. Paying attention to the behavior towards environment is very important.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The nine planetary boundaries we should never go past
B. How much of various resources of the Earth system we can use
C. The ideal conditions upon which our humans depend to survive
D. Immediate actions should be taken to protect the environment
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲研究发现，人类活动现在已经超过了九个行星边界中的六个，这是对人类发展一个明确的警告信号。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“According to a new study released Wednesday, human activity has now gone past six of nine planetary boundaries, which are ways to measure the stability and livability of Earth for humans. (根据周三发布的一项新研究，人类活动现在已经超过了九个行星边界中的六个，这是衡量地球对人类的稳定性和宜居性的方法。)”可知，人类活动现在已经超过了九个行星边界中的六个，这使地球的稳定性和宜居性受到严重挑战，即人类使我们生存的环境处于极端危险之中。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段“The concept sets boundaries on how much we can allow ourselves to impact not only the climate but also other global processes that can support modern civilization. Respecting these safety boundaries would minimize the risk of human activities setting off a dramatic and potentially irrecoverable change in global environmental conditions.(这一概念为我们不仅能在多大程度上影响气候，还能影响其它支持现代文明的全球进程设定了界限。尊重这些安全边界将最大限度地minimize人类活动在全球环境条件中引发巨大且可能无法恢复的变化的风险。)”推知，尊重这些安全边界将会“减少”风险，因此猜测minimize表示“减少”的意思。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“Crossing six boundaries does not necessarily mean a disaster to follow, but it is a clear warning signal. “We can regard it as we do our own blood pressure,” said the study lead author Katherine Richardson of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. ‘A blood pressure over 120 is not a guarantee of a heart attack but it increases the risk of one. For our own and our children’s sakes we need to reduce the pressure on these six planetary boundaries.’(跨越六个界限并不一定意味着灾难的到来，但这是一个明确的警告信号。该研究的主要作者、丹麦哥本哈根大学的凯瑟琳·理查森说:“我们可以把它看作是我们自己的血压。”“血压超过120并不能保证心脏病发作，但会增加患心脏病的风险。”为了我们自己和我们的孩子，我们需要减少对这六个地球边界的压力。”)”可知，文章把地球边界比作血压，血压超过120，突发心脏病的风险便会增加，这是对身体健康状况的一个警示信号，而逾越边界红线便是对人类破坏环境的警示。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“According to a new study released Wednesday, human activity has now gone past six of nine planetary boundaries, which are ways to measure the stability and livability of Earth for humans. The study published in the journal Science Advances represents the third update of the planetary boundary framework carried out by 29 scientists from eight different countries.(根据周三发布的一项新研究，人类活动现在已经超过了九个行星边界中的六个，这是衡量地球对人类的稳定性和宜居性的方法。这项发表在《科学进展》杂志上的研究是来自八个不同国家的29名科学家对行星边界框架进行的第三次更新。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲人类活动现在已经逾越了9条地球边界红线中的6条，人类活动已经对环境造成了极大的破坏，严重影响了地球的稳定性和宜居性，保护环境刻不容缓。因此D项“应立即采取行动保护环境”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Dogs have a different way of seeing the world compared to human beings. As a result of this they heavily rely on their body language to pass their different messages across to people.(与人类相比，狗有一种不同的看待世界的方式。因此，他们严重依赖他们的肢体语言将不同的信息传递给别人)”结合后文主要解释了狗的肢体语言想要传递的信息，故E选项“往下读，看看你的狗狗想告诉你什么”符合语境，故选E。

【18题详解】
根据后文“When you see your dog making sad faces while you are leaving, it might feel sad. Don’t worry too much because your little pet knows very well that you will definitely be back.(当你看到你的狗在你离开的时候做着悲伤的表情，它可能会感到悲伤。不要太担心，因为你的小宠物很清楚你一定会回来的)”可知，后文提到了离开时狗感到悲伤，可知是离开家。故F选项“把宠物留在家里感到内疚是很正常的”符合语境，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Dogs like to lay on people’s feet during dinner time or when people are watching TV.(狗喜欢在晚餐时间或人们看电视的时候趴在人们的脚上)”以及后文“However, it’s just their way of showing you some loyalty (忠诚) and how close they want to get to you. This is a behavior that they obtained from their ancestors long ago.(然而，这只是他们向你展示忠诚的方式，以及他们想要接近你的方式。这是他们很久以前从祖先那里遗传来的行为)”可知，后文与本句构成转折关系，可推测本句是在说明对狗趴在脚上的行为，人类有负面情绪。故A选项“这可能会有点烦人”符合语境，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“You should feel honoured when a dog rests against you for support while it’s hanging around the place.(当狗狗在你身边闲逛时，你应该感到荣幸)”以及后文“Don’t take it as being lazy. The next time your dog does this, just allow them to show their love in this way.(不要认为这是懒惰。下次你的狗狗这样做的时候，就允许他们用这种方式表达他们的爱)”可知，本句主要解释狗在身边闲逛代表的意义，故B选项“对狗来说，这等于拥抱”符合语境，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。
The Right Thing to Do
“Today’s test score will decide who has topped the class, so be ready,” Miss Natasha announced to the class.
Miss Natasha collected everyone’s test papers, and then cleared her throat to announce the results as she distributed the test papers among the students. Everyone was nervous about what their scores might be.
Ali and Bob had been competitors since class one and each year it was always one of the two that came first in the class. This year, there was tough competition between them both, and they eagerly awaited the results.
“Peter, 18,” announced Miss Natasha as she handed him his paper, “Eric, 16, Ali, 20, Bob, 19… and lastly Alia, 15.”
Once Miss Natasha had distributed (分发) all of the test papers in class, everyone soon realized that Ali had beaten Bobby one mark and topped the class. Everyone congratulated him and Ali was happy.
As Ali was about to put his paper in his bag, he noticed that by mistake Miss Natasha had given him two marks for an incorrect answer. He was shocked. He rechecked his answers and realized that all his answers were correct except for that one. However, if he informed Miss Natasha about it, he would not only lose two marks but also his first position.
After considering the situation, he decided to keep quiet and went home. However, he kept thinking about it all evening. Should he or shouldn’t he tell Miss Natasha about it He thought that it had been already done, and no one would notice if he didn’t tell anyone, but then another thought crossed his mind. If he didn’t tell the teacher about it and stayed top of the class, he would have taken a title that should have belonged to Bob.
This situation put Ali in a hard position. His parents always taught him to do the right thing, but doing the right thing here meant he would no longer be top of the class. He remembered how everyone cheered for him and congratulated him in class.
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。
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all.

After hearing his mother’s words, he finally made up his mind.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
He knew that by informing the teacher about it, he would lose it all. As he fought with his thoughts, his mum asked him, “What’s the matter ” “Mum, what if doing the right thing would mean you would lose something ” he asked in reply. “Son, if it is the right thing to do, then I am sure you will be rewarded for it. A wrong thing may seem attractive at first, but if it is wrong, it will hurt us someday,” his mum said. “My son, you are a brave and honest boy so just do what you think is right,” his mum continued.
After hearing his mother’s words, he finally made up his mind. The next day in class, Miss Natasha announced, “Today Ali has done what only a few of us would have the courage to do. He came to me and told me that I had mistakenly given him two marks and he was right about it, so the first position goes to Bob, not Ali.” Everyone, even Bob, was surprised by this development. After the class, Bob asked Ali, “Why did you do that ”Ali simply replied, “Because it was the right thing to do.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ali和Bob一直是竞争对手，这一次Ali以一分的优势胜过了Bob，成为班上第一。但Ali在收拾卷子时却发现Natasha小姐改错了一个题，Ali如果把这件事告诉Natasha小姐，他不仅会失去两分，而且还会失去第一名的位置，Ali犹豫不决。最后在妈妈的建议下，Ali第二天还是告诉了Natasha小姐分数改错了的事情，将第一的位置让给了Bob。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他知道如果把这件事告诉老师，他就会失去一切。”可知，第一段可描写Ali和妈妈的对话，妈妈告诉Ali要相信做正确的事情会得到回报，一件错误的事情一开始可能看起来很吸引人，但如果它是错误的，有一天它会伤害我们。
②由第二段首句内容“听了母亲的话，他终于下定决心了。”可知，第二段可描写Natasha小姐在班上宣布了Ali告诉她分数改错的事情，把第一名让给了Bob。
2.续写线索：Ali思想斗争——妈妈讲道理——妈妈鼓励做正确的事情——Ali说出真相——第一名让给了Bob
