阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A trans-Canada train trip is an adventure that will stay with you for a very long time. Here are some must-see places to visit along the way:
Vancouver
There’s a reason why Vancouver never fails to impress. It is really stunning, with plenty of green open spaces, mountains and ocean views. Plus, this west coast city also has a diverse live music and art scene, world-class museums and plenty of locally owned coffeehouses and creative restaurants.
Jasper
Jasper National Park is twice the size of Banff National Park, yet draws only around half the visitors, which means you’ll encounter fewer crowds on the stunning hiking paths through valleys, mountain passes and grasslands. Keep an eye out for elk, bighorn sheep and other wild local residents.
Québec City
Considered the crown jewel of French Canada, Quebec City is one of North America’s oldest and most remarkable settlements. The Old Town is like a living museum of narrow cobblestone streets, 17th and 18th century houses and churches. There’s more than a glimmer of old Europe in its classic pubs, sidewalk cafes and tidy square.
Montreal
Montreal is where all the fun happens. The city lives for the arts, with more than 90 festivals throughout the year and an impressive collection of museums, galleries and performance spaces. Add in architecture that will make you think you’re in Europe and one of the most diverse food scenes in North America, and you will have a recipe for a good time.
1. If you are interested in wildlife, which place will attract you
A. Vancouver. B. Jasper. C. Québec City. D. Montreal.
2. What can you do in Québec City
A. Visit a museum of cobblestones. B. Attend various festivals.
C. Enjoy a drink in a European-style pub. D. Walk across the vast grassland.
3. What do Vancouver and Montreal have in common
A. Attractive museums. B. Large quantities of wildlife.
C. A small crowd of visitors. D. Over 90 festivals every year.
B
A 25-year-old young man from Guinea biked across Africa, reached Cairo on September 5 and received a full scholarship to Al-Azhar University, one of the world’s oldest and most respected Sunni Muslim learning centers.
Mamadou Safaiou Barry lives in the West African nation of Guinea. He wanted to study Islamic theology (伊斯兰教神学) at a top school in Cairo, Egypt. Without money to pay for transport, Barry drew a map of Africa and headed out on a used bicycle for the trip across the continent, carrying only a change of clothes, a flashlight and a small tool.
Barry rode about 100 kilometers each day. He rode through Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Niger. He had to stop in N’Djamena, the Chadian capital, because of the ongoing Conflict in Sudan. He said he had already been detained three times-twice in Burkina Faso and once in Togo. There, security forces held him for nine days without charge before releasing him for $56. That was all of his money for the rest of the trip, he said.
Thousands of West Africans like Barry take risky journeys across the Sahara desert each year, searching for a better life. But many never make it. Nearly 500 people died or disappeared on West African migration routes last year, data from the International Organization for Migration shows.
Barry thought the risk was worth it. “If you have a dream, stay with it and be strong.” he said, “God will help you.”
Barry’s luck changed again in Chad. There, a local philanthropist (慈善家), who had read about his trip online, offered to fly him directly to Egypt and avoid the fighting in Sudan. After four months and travelling through 7 countries, he is in Cairo now and has received a full scholarship to Al-Azhar.
Barry intends to return to Guinea when his studies are complete, to spread the faith that has taken him so far. “When I return to my country, I would like to be someone who teaches Islam and tells people how to do good things,” he said.
4. Why did Barry start the journey across Africa
A. To search for a better life.
B. To explore different landscapes.
C. To escape the conflict in his home country.
D. To realize his dream of studying Islamic theology in Cairo.
5. What does Paragraph 4 function as
A. Background information. B. Detailed description.
C. Typical examples. D. Data analysis.
6. Which word can best describe Barry
A. Skilled. B. Gifted. C. Humorous. D. Determined.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Islam Spreading in Africa
B African Philanthropist Supporting a Young Man
C. Guinean Student Cycling across Africa for His Dream
D. African Young Man Surviving across the Sahara Desert
C
A study has found that a fifth of teenagers consume energy drinks under the impression that they are good for health.
The new research questioned almost 4,000 high school students about the energy drinks and found that boys were much more likely to drink them.
Australia requires companies to label their drinks as “not suitable for children”, yet the findings published in a journal showed many teens still believed the drinks were beneficial.
The energy drink market is expected to grow to a $72 billion by 2024 and reach $108.4 billion by 2031.
Separate market analysis showed teens who drink energy drinks were more likely to show anti-social behaviour including smoking, alcohol consumption and other things. Energy drink consumption was also found connected with headaches, stomachaches and especially insomnia, which is common among teens and makes them extremely sleepy and unable to concentrate on their study.
One 16-year-old girl said she did not make a habit of drinking the energy drinks, but sometimes bought one after school.
“I know they’re not great for you, but sometimes I get to the end of a school day and I am just very tired,” she said, “You get up at around 7 a.m., sit through a whole school day and then go home, only to study through to 11 p.m.—if you don’t have extra-curricular activities. It’s not something I recommend, but they taste good and sometimes I feel like I’d benefit from caffeine.”
Due to the fact that teenagers incorrectly believed energy drinks were beneficial for their health, the researchers suggested it was necessary to educate students on the health risks.
8. What do many teenagers think about energy drinks
A. Harmful. B. Healthy. C. Expensive. D. Unnecessary.
9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The popularity of energy drinks. B. The market value of energy drinks.
C. The bad effects of energy drinks. D. The production of energy drinks.
10. What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Sleeplessness. B. Loneliness. C. Carelessness. D. Forgetfulness.
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. The 16-year-old girl is addicted to energy drinks.
B. Boys are more likely to drink energy drinks than girls.
C. About 4,000 teenagers consume energy drinks every day.
D. Teenagers lack enough education about the risks of energy drinks.
D
Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats. Although previous studies have already suggested this finding, scientists from the University of Copenhagen wanted to research more deeply into whether cultural factors affected the results. Their findings are published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science.
In the survey across Denmark, Austria and the United Kingdom, 844 dog owners, 872 cat owners and 401 people who owned both dogs and cats were asked questions about their pets. Overall, the participants had higher attachment scores for dogs than for cats. Owners were more likely to insure (给……投保) their dogs and paid more to dogs’ treatment. However, the results differed dramatically across countries. For example, the United Kingdom’s results were in favor of dogs, although only slightly. Australia had a very clear preference for dogs. Emotional attachment to dogs was highest in Denmark. The Danes were also less likely to buy insurance for their cats, compared with their dogs.
“While people care more about their dogs than their cats in these countries, the degree of difference varied between countries,” Professor Peter Sandoe of the University of Copenhagen, the study’s first author, said in a press release. “It doesn’t therefore seem to be a universal phenomenon (现象) that people care much less about their cats than their dogs.”
The difference between countries may be due to cultural differences and attitudes toward pets, the study suggested. This may be the result of the country’s history with rural animals and how often they interacted with people. These factors may have influenced societal attitudes toward pets in modern times.
“Our study only looks at three countries in Europe,” professor Clare Palmer of Texas A&M University, a co-author of the paper, said in the press release. “It raises interesting questions regarding what comparative studies of other countries might find,” she went on. “Perhaps there are countries where the level of care for and attachment to cats is, in fact, higher than dogs ”
12. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To state a widely acknowledged fact.
B. To analyze the cause of a phenomenon.
C. To introduce the topic of a new study.
D To compare two different studies.
13. How did the researchers conduct their study
A. By asking questions.
B. By doing an experiment.
C. By collecting data online.
D. By keeping track of pet owners’ daily life.
14. What can we infer from Sandoe’s words
A. Not all the people in the world prefer dogs to cats.
B. People in the three surveyed countries prefer dogs to cats.
C. The levels of care for cats are the same as dogs in the world.
D. People in the world care less about their cats than their dogs.
15. What can we know from the passage
A. Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats.
B. Culture may influence people’s preference to dogs.
C. Pet owners should care about their cats as much as their dogs.
D. People hold different attitudes toward pets in three European countries.

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。
Hannah and I have been best friends since primary school and we spend almost every day with each other. Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We learn from each other, inspire each other and both get good grades at school.
Last Monday, our math teacher Miss Smith gave us a surprise math quiz. Some of my classmates felt worried and nervous but Hanna and I were confident and gave each other an encouraging smile before we got down to doing the quiz. After the quiz while others were complaining about the “surprise” and expressing their concern about the result, I laughed loudly, “It’s so easy! I’m sure to get a good grade!” Ironically (具有讽刺意味的), on Tuesday afternoon, Miss Smith told me after class that I had the lowest grade in the class. I couldn’t believe my ears. What a shame! How could I be so stupid to fail such a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I tried my best to hide my upset and pretended to be cheerful, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom, she looked into my eyes and asked, “What happened, Sarah ” With tears welling up, I admitted how badly I had one. “Hannah, please don’t tell anyone else,” I begged in a choked voice. She hugged me, saying she would keep my secret.
However, the next day morning, I noticed that some classmates were staring at me strangely and others whispering and chuckling (暗笑) as I came into the classroom. When I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “Stupid Sarah got a D!” A flush of shame and anger overwhelming me, I felt my face was burning. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!
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。
I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As it was time for math class, I walked back to the classroom slowly.

A 25-year-old young man from Guinea biked across Africa, reached Cairo on September 5 and received a full scholarship to Al-Azhar University, one of the world’s oldest and most respected Sunni Muslim learning centers.
Mamadou Safaiou Barry lives in the West African nation of Guinea. He wanted to study Islamic theology (伊斯兰教神学) at a top school in Cairo, Egypt. Without money to pay for transport, Barry drew a map of Africa and headed out on a used bicycle for the trip across the continent, carrying only a change of clothes, a flashlight and a small tool.
Barry rode about 100 kilometers each day. He rode through Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Niger. He had to stop in N’Djamena, the Chadian capital, because of the ongoing Conflict in Sudan. He said he had already been detained three times-twice in Burkina Faso and once in Togo. There, security forces held him for nine days without charge before releasing him for $56. That was all of his money for the rest of the trip, he said.
Thousands of West Africans like Barry take risky journeys across the Sahara desert each year searching for a better life. But many never make it. Nearly 500 people died or disappeared on West African migration routes last year, data from the International Organization for Migration shows.
Barry thought the risk was worth it. “If you have a dream, stay with it and be strong.” he said, “God will help you.”
Barry’s luck changed again in Chad. There, a local philanthropist (慈善家), who had read about his trip online, offered to fly him directly to Egypt and avoid the fighting in Sudan. After four months and travelling through 7 countries, he is in Cairo now and has received a full scholarship to Al-Azhar.
Barry intends to return to Guinea when his studies are complete, to spread the faith that has taken him so far. “When I return to my country, I would like to be someone who teaches Islam and tells people how to do good things,” he said.
4. Why did Barry start the journey across Africa
A. To search for a better life.
B. To explore different landscapes.
C. To escape the conflict in his home country.
D. To realize his dream of studying Islamic theology in Cairo.
5. What does Paragraph 4 function as
A. Background information. B. Detailed description.
C. Typical examples. D. Data analysis.
6 Which word can best describe Barry
A. Skilled. B. Gifted. C. Humorous. D. Determined.

A. Islam Spreading in Africa
B. African Philanthropist Supporting a Young Man

D. African Young Man Surviving across the Sahara Desert
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C

A study has found that a fifth of teenagers consume energy drinks under the impression that they are good for health.
The new research questioned almost 4,000 high school students about the energy drinks and found that boys were much more likely to drink them.
Australia requires companies to label their drinks as “not suitable for children”, yet the findings published in a journal showed many teens still believed the drinks were beneficial.
The energy drink market is expected to grow to a $72 billion by 2024 and reach $108.4 billion by 2031.
Separate market analysis showed teens who drink energy drinks were more likely to show anti-social behaviour, including smoking, alcohol consumption and other things. Energy drink consumption was also found connected with headaches, stomachaches and especially insomnia, which is common among teens and makes them extremely sleepy and unable to concentrate on their study.
One 16-year-old girl said she did not make a habit of drinking the energy drinks, but sometimes bought one after school.
“I know they’re not great for you, but sometimes I get to the end of a school day and I am just very tired,” she said, “You get up at around 7 a.m., sit through a whole school day and then go home, only to study through to 11 p.m.—if you don’t have extra-curricular activities. It’s not something I recommend, but they taste good and sometimes I feel like I’d benefit from caffeine.”
Due to the fact that teenagers incorrectly believed energy drinks were beneficial for their health, the researchers suggested it was necessary to educate students on the health risks.
8. What do many teenagers think about energy drinks
A. Harmful. B. Healthy. C. Expensive. D. Unnecessary.
9. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The popularity of energy drinks. B. The market value of energy drinks.
C. The bad effects of energy drinks. D. The production of energy drinks.
10. What does the underlined word “insomnia” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Sleeplessness. B. Loneliness. C. Carelessness. D. Forgetfulness.
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. The 16-year-old girl is addicted to energy drinks.
B. Boys are more likely to drink energy drinks than girls.
C. About 4,000 teenagers consume energy drinks every day.
D. Teenagers lack enough education about the risks of energy drinks.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现五分之一的青少年在饮用能量饮料时认为它们有益健康，但是能量饮料存在不良影响，青少年对能量饮料的危害缺乏足够的教育。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study has found that a fifth of teenagers consume energy drinks under the impression that they are good for health.(一项研究发现，五分之一的青少年在饮用能量饮料时认为它们有益健康)”可知，许多青少年认为功能饮料健康。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Separate market analysis showed teens who drink energy drinks were more likely to show anti-social behaviour, including smoking, alcohol consumption and other things. (另一项市场分析显示，饮用能量饮料的青少年更有可能出现反社会行为，包括吸烟、饮酒和其他行为。)”以及本段其他内容可知，第5段的主要内容是能量饮料的不良影响。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Energy drink consumption was also found connected with headaches, stomachaches and especially”以及后文“which is common among teens and makes them extremely sleepy and unable to concentrate on their study”可知，上文提到了饮用能量饮料会导致头痛、胃痛等身体上的不适，由此可推知insomnia也属于身体上的不适，结合后文insomnia会让他们极度困倦，无法集中精力学习，可推测insomnia意思是“失眠”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Due to the fact that teenagers incorrectly believed energy drinks were beneficial for their health, the researchers suggested it was necessary to educate students on the health risks.(由于青少年错误地认为能量饮料对他们的健康有益，研究人员建议有必要对学生进行健康风险教育)”可推知，青少年对能量饮料的危害缺乏足够的教育。故选D。
D
Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats. Although previous studies have already suggested this finding, scientists from the University of Copenhagen wanted to research more deeply into whether cultural factors affected the results. Their findings are published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science.
In the survey across Denmark, Austria and the United Kingdom, 844 dog owners, 872 cat owners and 401 people who owned both dogs and cats were asked questions about their pets. Overall, the participants had higher attachment scores for dogs than for cats. Owners were more likely to insure (给……投保) their dogs and paid more to dogs’ treatment. However, the results differed dramatically across countries. For example, the United Kingdom’s results were in favor of dogs, although only slightly. Australia had a very clear preference for dogs. Emotional attachment to dogs was highest in Denmark. The Danes were also less likely to buy insurance for their cats, compared with their dogs.
“While people care more about their dogs than their cats in these countries, the degree of difference varied between countries,” Professor Peter Sandoe of the University of Copenhagen, the study’s first author, said in a press release. “It doesn’t therefore seem to be a universal phenomenon (现象) that people care much less about their cats than their dogs.”
The difference between countries may be due to cultural differences and attitudes toward pets, the study suggested. This may be the result of the country’s history with rural animals and how often they interacted with people. These factors may have influenced societal attitudes toward pets in modern times.
“Our study only looks at three countries in Europe,” professor Clare Palmer of Texas A&M University, a co-author of the paper, said in the press release. “It raises interesting questions regarding what comparative studies of other countries might find,” she went on. “Perhaps there are countries where the level of care for and attachment to cats is, in fact, higher than dogs ”
12. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To state a widely acknowledged fact.
B. To analyze the cause of a phenomenon.
C. To introduce the topic of a new study.
D. To compare two different studies.
13. How did the researchers conduct their study
A. By asking questions.
B. By doing an experiment.
C. By collecting data online.
D. By keeping track of pet owners’ daily life.
14. What can we infer from Sandoe’s words
A. Not all the people in the world prefer dogs to cats.
B. People in the three surveyed countries prefer dogs to cats.
C. The levels of care for cats are the same as dogs in the world.
D. People in the world care less about their cats than their dogs.
15. What can we know from the passage
A. Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats.
B. Culture may influence people’s preference to dogs.
C. Pet owners should care about their cats as much as their dogs.
D. People hold different attitudes toward pets in three European countries.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于宠物主人更爱狗还是更爱猫的研究，研究发现，在丹麦、奥地利和英国，宠物主人更爱狗，但不同国家之间存在差异，这可能是由于文化差异和对宠物的态度造成的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Pet owners love their dogs more than their cats. Although previous studies have already suggested this finding, scientists from the University of Copenhagen wanted to research more deeply into whether cultural factors affected the results.(宠物主人爱狗胜过爱猫。虽然之前的研究已经提出了这一发现，但哥本哈根大学的科学家们想要更深入地研究文化因素是否会影响结果。)”可知，之前的研究已经表明宠物主人更爱狗，但来自哥本哈根大学的科学家们想更深入地研究文化因素是否会影响结果。结合下文对此进行的研究可推断出，作者写第一段的目的是介绍一项新研究的主题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the survey across Denmark, Austria and the United Kingdom, 844 dog owners, 872 cat owners and 401 people who owned both dogs and cats were asked questions about their pets. (在丹麦、奥地利和英国开展的这项调查中，844名狗主人、872名猫主人和401名既养狗又养猫的人被问及有关他们宠物的问题。)”可知，研究人员通过询问问题来进行他们的研究。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““While people care more about their dogs than their cats in these countries, the degree of difference varied between countries,” Professor Peter Sandoe of the University of Copenhagen, the study’s first author, said in a press release. “It doesn’t therefore seem to be a universal phenomenon (现象) that people care much less about their cats than their dogs.”(该研究的第一作者、哥本哈根大学的彼得·桑多教授在一份新闻稿中说：“虽然这些国家的人们更关心他们的狗而不是猫，但不同国家之间的差异程度各不相同。”“因此，人们对猫的关心远不如对狗的关心，这似乎并不是一个普遍现象。”)”可知，并不是世界上所有的人都更喜欢狗而不是猫。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The difference between countries may be due to cultural differences and attitudes toward pets, the study suggested. (研究表明，国家之间的差异可能是由于文化差异和对待宠物的态度。)”可知，文化可能会影响人们对狗的偏爱。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。
Hannah and I have been best friends since primary school and we spend almost every day with each other. Sometimes, other children say we are no fun because we are both very academic and like to study, but we like it that way. We learn from each other, inspire each other and both get good grades at school.
Last Monday, our math teacher Miss Smith gave us a surprise math quiz. Some of my classmates felt worried and nervous but Hanna and I were confident and gave each other an encouraging smile before we got down to doing the quiz. After the quiz while others were complaining about the “surprise” and expressing their concern about the result, I laughed loudly, “It’s so easy! I’m sure to get a good grade!” Ironically (具有讽刺意味的), on Tuesday afternoon, Miss Smith told me after class that I had the lowest grade in the class. I couldn’t believe my ears. What a shame! How could I be so stupid to fail such a simple math quiz!
Afterwards, I tried my best to hide my upset and pretended to be cheerful, but Hannah sensed something was wrong. When we went to wash our hands in the girls’ washroom, she looked into my eyes and asked, “What happened, Sarah ” With tears welling up, I admitted how badly I had one. “Hannah, please don’t tell anyone else,” I begged in a choked voice. She hugged me, saying she would keep my secret.
However, the next day morning, I noticed that some classmates were staring at me strangely and others whispering and chuckling (暗笑) as I came into the classroom. When I went to sit down, I was shocked to find a piece of paper on my desk that said, “Stupid Sarah got a D!” A flush of shame and anger overwhelming me, I felt my face was burning. I thought that Hannah must have told my classmates about my grade after promising not to. Everyone must have been laughing behind my back!

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph1
I was so angry that I went straight to Hannah. I shouted, trembling with rage, “It’s you that let out my secret!” “No, ...” Hannah tried to explain but I interrupted her, “From now on, we are not friends any more!” I stormed out of the classroom and ran to the playground. Sitting in a corner, I buried my face in the hands, tears running down between fingers. I still couldn’t believe I was betrayed by my best friend. As memories of moments we spent together poured into my mind, I couldn’t help wondering: did she really betray me
Paragraph 2
As it was time for math class, I walked back to the classroom slowly. Miss Smith was handing out the papers. The moment she saw me, she said, “Sarah, I’m sorry that I made a mistake. It was Hannah that reminded me to check your paper again. You got an A!” I was stunned, at a loss what to say. I turned to Hannah, seeing a warm smile on her face. It was then that I realized what matters was not whether I got an “A” or who wrote the note but the true meaning of friendship: trust and love!
