William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.
Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”
However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.
4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips
A. Pleasant. B. Conventional C. Challenging. D. Dangerous.
5. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Visit. B. Avoid. C. Compare. D. Evaluate.
6. What problem does the family meet when traveling
A. They have scheduling conflicts.
B. They suffer from a tight budget.
C. They are faced with language barriers.
D. They hold different educational ideas.
7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text
A. Toughness is the best assistant of will. B. Man who travels far knows more.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is no royal road to learning.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍著名长城专家、自然资源保护主义者威廉﹒林赛(William Lindesay)和他的妻子吴琪(Wu Qi)通过环游世界,为他们的儿子提供了一个独特的成长环境。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. (他们的大多数旅行似乎都远非放松——在炎热干燥的沙漠中进行文化研究,53公里的新西兰徒步旅行,一天攀登三座英国山顶,以及从北京到莫斯科的六天火车旅行。)”可知,林赛他们一家人的旅行很有挑战性。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. (许多人认为这个家庭一定很富有,能够负担得起他们的全球旅行费用,但事实并非如此。林赛说,他们只是选择把钱花在旅行上,尽可能eschew昂贵的酒店和餐馆。林赛提到莫斯科之行就是一个例子。他们没有从火车站乘出租车去旅馆,而是乘地铁去了。)”可知,林赛一家人并不是很富有,他们没有从火车站乘出租车去旅馆,而是乘地铁去了。所以,他们应该是尽可能避开昂贵的酒店和餐馆。所以,eschew的意思应该是“避开”,和选项B意思一致。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. (然而,他们的旅程可能会持续数周或数月,有时与孩子的学业不一致。吴琪记得有一次林赛让他们的大儿子请假,让他们去纽约做45天的巡回演讲。因此,儿子错过了期末考试。这样的事情一直困扰着这个家庭。)”可知,林赛他们一家人的旅行会和孩子的学习安排不一致。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. (林赛非常重视在课堂外学习,他说孩子们可能在学校考试中得分很高,但真正的考试是在不同语言、文化和政治结构的遥远国度里外出旅行。他说:“你只能在街上变得有街头智慧。只有看到世界,你才能变得有世俗智慧。”)”可知,在林赛看来,只有远行才能让人更有智慧。故选B。
C
It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical (热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming.
Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination (授粉) to waste disposal (处理). We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. Fitness levels most likely decline quickly and there may not be much we can do about it.
Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. Unfortunately, the tropics also hold the large majority of species on the planet.
We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the “fitness levels” of different species. “Fitness” was determined by indicators such as population growth rates and physical performance for different creatures.
We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. The direct effects of climate change on the organisms (生物体) we studied appear to depend a lot more on the organisms’ flexibility than on the amount of warming in the area where they lived.
As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict.
8. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Global warming. B. Living in the tropics.
C. Killing polar bears off. D. Insects becoming extinct.
9. Why are tropical species more likely harmed by climate change
A. The fitness of crops they feed on is declining.
B. They can hardly stand up to temperature changes.
C. Their living environment has been greatly damaged.
D. The amount of warming is not steady in the tropics.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The significance of the research.
B. The challenge facing the researchers.
C. Predictions about the impacts of global warming.
D. Suggestions on how to preserve tropical regions.
11. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice.
C. To report a coming event. D. To present a research result.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,全球变暖会导致热带昆虫的灭绝。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination (授粉) to waste disposal (处理). (热带地区的昆虫已经生活在其温度范围的极限,任何进一步的温度升高都可能很快杀死它们。This将是热带栖息地的一场重大灾难,从授粉到废物处理,热带栖息地的一切都依赖昆虫)”可知,热带栖息地的维护有赖于热带昆虫,可得出热带昆虫的灭绝是热带栖息地的一场重大灾难,This指代“Insects becoming extinct (热带昆虫灭绝)”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. (我们发现,热带地区平均气温仅上升1℃或2℃就足以对多种重要昆虫的生存产生重大而有害的影响)”和第三段中的“Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. (许多热带物种只能接受很窄的温度范围,因为它们经历的气候全年都相当稳定)”可知,许多热带物种只能接受很窄的温度范围,温度仅上升1℃或2℃就可能带来巨大灾难,说明热带物种几乎经不起温度的变化。故选B项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由最后一段“As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict. (这项研究证实,除了对昆虫的危险外,全球变暖还会带来其他后果,也可能对热带地区,尤其是粮食作物产生严重影响。我们的研究只关注温度变化的影响,但变暖也会改变降雨模式。这些变化对许多热带生物来说可能更重要,比如植物,但它们更难预测)”可知,最后一段不仅说了全球变暖对热带昆虫的不利影响,还表明全球变暖会影响到热带地区的植物(但很难预测),段落大意对应C项“关于全球变暖影响的预测”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical (热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming. (根据我的研究,我很清楚,由于全球变暖,热带昆虫而不是北极熊可能是首批灭绝的物种)”,第二段中的“We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. (我们发现,热带地区平均气温仅上升1℃或2℃就足以对多种重要昆虫的生存产生重大而有害的影响)”,第三段中的“Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. (现在,我们的研究表明,与寒冷气候下的物种相比,气温上升对它们的危害更大)”,第四段中的“We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the “fitness levels” of different species. (我们使用了1950年至2000年50年期间的每日和每月全球温度,并将其与显示不同物种“健康水平”的数据进行了比较)”,第五段中的“We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. (我们发现,即使移入阴凉处也无助于昆虫)”和最后一段中的“As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. (这项研究证实,除了对昆虫的危险外,全球变暖还会带来其他后果,也可能对热带地区,尤其是粮食作物产生严重影响)”可知,文章介绍了全球变暖对热带昆虫影响的研究结果(即热带昆虫灭绝),本文在展示研究结果。故选D项。
D
A new study proves when their teenagers cut back on social media use, they seem to feel better about themselves. Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University, conducted the study. She said the research came from her own personal experiences. “I couldn’t help but compare myself when I was using social media, making me unsatisfied with my self-image.” Thai says. Although she was aware that social media posts often presented images that can be unrealistic in real life, it still had a negative impact on her. So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reduced time on social media would increase self-confidence in body image.
They hired a few hundred volunteers, aged 14-18, all of whom had experienced signs of anxiety or depression, which could make them easier to be affected by social media. Half of the teens were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media freely, which averaged about three hours per day. The researchers gave the teens surveys at the beginning and end of the study. It included statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.”
Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance satisfaction improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5 point scale. “This may seem like a small change, but any change in such a short period of time is striking,” the authors say.
“This research showed promising results that weight and appearance confidence can improve when people cut back on social media use,” wrote Thai. Thai says it’s encouraging that teens were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks. It’s also worth experimenting this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders.
12. What inspired Thai to do the research
A. Her major. B. Online posts. C. Her experience. D. Social pressure.
13. What do the volunteers have in common
A. Family background. B. Mental problems. C. Learning abilities. D. Body shape.
14. What did Thai think of the result of their study
A. It proved their expectation. B. It made them disappointed.
C. It changed their first idea. D. It needed further study.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Higher confidence, more image satisfaction B. Less social media use, less image anxiety
C. To be a social media addict or not D. Social media, love at first sight
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究证明,当青少年减少社交媒体的使用时,他们似乎对自己感觉更好。文章主要介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“She said the research came from her own personal experiences.(她说,这项研究来自她自己的个人经历)”可知,个人经历激发了Thai做这项研究。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They hired a few hundred volunteers, aged 14-18, all of whom had experienced signs of anxiety or depression, which could make them easier to be affected by social media.(他们雇佣了几百名年龄在14-18岁之间的志愿者,他们都有焦虑或抑郁的迹象,这可能使他们更容易受到社交媒体的影响)”可知,志愿者的共同点是有心理问题。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reduced time on social media would increase self-confidence in body image.(因此,Thai和一组研究人员决定测试减少在社交媒体上的时间是否会增加对身体形象的自信)”最后一段““This research showed promising results that weight and appearance confidence can improve when people cut back on social media use,” wrote Thai. Thai says it’s encouraging that teens were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks.(Thai写道:“这项研究显示了令人鼓舞的结果,当人们减少社交媒体的使用时,体重和外表的信心就会得到改善。”Thai说,青少年愿意减少看屏幕的时间,即使只有三周,这是令人鼓舞的)”可知,Thai认为他们的研究结果证明了他们的预期。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study proves when their teenagers cut back on social media use, they seem to feel better about themselves.(一项新的研究证明,当青少年减少社交媒体的使用时,他们似乎对自己感觉更好)”结合文章主要介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。可知,B选项“减少社交媒体使用,减少形象焦虑”最符合文章标题。故选B。

第二节短文填空(共10小题,每小题1. 5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
A Bite of China
No trip would be complete without experiencing the local food culture. Actually, China has various kinds of delicious food, ____36____(include) a wide variety of local snacks(小吃).
Without a doubt, for the majority of the foreigners I contacted, and myself included, Peking Duck, Dim Sum, Mongolian Hot Pot were the favorite Chinese ____37____(dish). China is a place ____38____ the food is not only delicious, but the ____39____ (cheap) I’ve ever found.
On my last night in Beijing ____40____ returning to the States, I went to a Peking Duck restaurant that had been suggested for me to try. What a beautiful place! Splendid woodblock prints on the walls, fresh flowers in the vases on the table, ____41____(attract) silverware (镀银餐具) and beautiful chopsticks. I was handed ____42____ menu and found most of the prices ____43____ (be) especially low for the high quality of the food. The duck came in whole or half, along with all the little decorations that you know if you’ve ever eaten Peking Duck—a little tortilla (玉米饼) to put the sliced duck and vegetables in, chopped onion and sauce.
Anyway, I ended up ordering a whole duck and thought I’d just take the rest back to my hotel ____44____(eat) later if I couldn’t finish it. Unbelievably, in the end there was none of the whole duck _____45_____ (leave) on the plate. Umm, yummy!
【答案】36. including
37. dishes 38. where
39. cheapest
40. before 41. attractive
42. a 43. were
44. to eat 45. left
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己在中国的美食体验。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:事实上,中国有各种各样的美食,包括各种各样的当地小吃。结合句意和句子结构可知,此处缺少介词,构成短语including sth.译为“包括……”。故填including。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:毫无疑问,对我接触的大多数外国人来说,包括我自己在内,北京烤鸭、点心、蒙古火锅都是我们最喜欢的中国菜。分析句子结构可知,此处需要使用名词作表语,dish可数名词,结合句意,不止一道中国菜,要使用可数名词dish的复数。故填dishes。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国是一个食物不仅美味,而且是我所见过的最便宜的地方。分析句子结构可知,此处使用了限制性定语从句。先行词为a place指地点,在从句中作地点状语,要使用关系副词where。故填where。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意上一题。分析句子结构以及句意“而且是我所见过的最便宜的地方”可知,定冠词the后要使用形容词的最高级形式作表语。故填cheapest。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:在我返回美国前在北京的最后一个晚上,我去了一家被推荐去尝尝的北京烤鸭店。分析句子结构以及空格后的动名词returning可知,此处需要填入介词。再结合句意可知,此处表达“在我返回美国前在北京的最后一个晚上”,所以用介词before来表示“在……之前”。故填before。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:多美的地方啊!墙上有精美的木版画,桌上花瓶里有鲜花,漂亮的银器和漂亮的筷子。修饰名词silverware需要用形容词作定语。故填attractive。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:有人递给我一份菜单,我发现相较于食物的高品质,大部分的价格都特别低。分析句子结构以及句意“有人递给我一份菜单”可知,menu可数名词单数表泛指,前边缺少不定冠词,menu以辅音音素开头。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查时态及主谓一致。句意见上一题。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语动词。再结合上文“was handed”可知,句子陈述过去发生的事实需要用一般过去时。主语most of prices为复数,be动词也要用复数形式。故填were。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:不管怎样,我最后点了一整只鸭子,我想如果我吃不完的话,我会把剩下的打包回去吃。分析句子结构可知,本句中已含有谓语动词且没有连接词,此处需要使用非谓语动词。结合句意“我会把剩下的带回我的酒店吃”可知,这里要使用不定式作目的状语。故填to eat。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:令人难以置信的是,最后盘子里一整只鸭子一点都没剩。句中已有一个谓语动词was,且没有连接词,此处使用非谓语动词。非谓语动词leave与逻辑主语duck之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词,作后置定语,故填left。
第三节 课文单句语法填空(共10小题,每小题一分)
46. The path before you leads to a world full of ________ (挑战): a new environment, new knowledge and new ways of thinking. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】challenges
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:你们面前的道路通向一个充满挑战的世界:一个新的环境,新的知识和新的思维方式。根据汉语提示可知应用名词challenge,作宾语,此处数量大于一应用复数。故填challenges。
47. ________ (不幸地),Your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】Unfortunately##Unluckily
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:不幸的是,你的父母并不总是同意,这让你感到不快乐。句中用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。根据汉语提示及句意,故填Unfortunately/Unluckily。
48. Our health experts will be glad to tell you what steps you can take ________ (improve) your situation. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to improve
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我们的健康专家将很乐意告诉您可以采取哪些措施来改善您的状况。what引导的宾语从句谓语为can take,此处为非谓语动词,take steps to do sth. (采取措施做某事),应用improve“改善”的不定式形式,作目的状语。故填to improve。
49. It is completely normal to struggle with the stress ______ parent-child tensions create. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】that##which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:与亲子关系紧张所产生的压力作斗争是完全正常的。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少宾语,先行词stress是物,因此空格处是关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
50. Recently we ________ (argue) with each other a great deal. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】have argued
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:最近我们彼此争论了很多次。由Recently可知,句子时态是现在完成时,主语we是复数,因此空格处用have argued。故填have argued。
51. By setting goals now, you know________ you are going in life and can work hard to get there. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意:现在设定目标,你就知道自己的人生目标,并能努力实现目标。引导宾语从句,从句缺少地点状语,故用where。故填where。
52. This will remind you of what you are working for and keep you ________ (focus). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】focused
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:这会提醒你工作的目的,让你保持专注。观察句子可知,空处缺少you的宾语补足语,focused翻译为:注意力集中的,符合题意。故填:focused。
53. Just ________ a baby kangaroo must learn to protect itself when it leaves its mother’s pocket, I will have to learn to protect myself when I grow up. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】as
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意:就像袋鼠宝宝离开妈妈的口袋时必须学会保护自己一样,我长大后也必须学会保护好自己。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里需要连词as,引导方式状语从句,意为“正如,就像”。故填as。
54. He is anxious about his skin because it has started to become very ________ (oil). (所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】oily
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:他很担心他的皮肤,因为它开始变得很油了。空格处用形容词作表语,oil的形容词是oily,意为“油腻的”,故填oily。
55. I’ll also need to be very careful about ________ (balance) my schoolwork and hobbies. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】balancing
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意:我还需要非常小心地平衡我的学业和爱好。介词about后需接动名词作宾语。故填balancing。

57. 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。
Polly Goodman, 82-year-old, was a rich old woman. Her husband was a businessman and left her a large fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself. The only problem was that her son who was a doctor busy with his work seldom had time to visit her, leaving her living lonely.
One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their mother calling out to them. “Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!”
Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face.
“Hi, I’m Polly. I live by the beach.” Polly said.
The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell. Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left.
When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn’t with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their mother s company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home. Out of curiosity and care Polly decided to follow them to their house.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Upon arrival, the kids invited Polly inside.

Polly took the mother to the hospital her son worked in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Upon arrival, the kids invited Polly inside. The moment Polly stepped into the house, she was shocked to see the house in a mess with toys scattered everywhere on the floor. Meanwhile, she spotted Lydia lying in the sofa, coughing heavily. Seeing Polly approaching, Lydia struggled to sit up but failed. Apparently, Lydia was seriously sick and needed immediate treatment. When asked why she didn’t go to hospital, Lydia explained she was too weak to drive. Out of sympathy, Polly offered to drive her to the hospital.
Polly took the mother to the hospital her son worked in. Having learned about the situation through the phone called by Polly, her son helped contact doctors. After a careful medical check, Lydia was told she had to stay in hospital for days, which worried her a lot, for her kids were too young to stay at home alone. Polly comforted her that she would take care of the kids. Hearing that, Lydia was so deeply moved that she could say nothing. She hugged Polly tightly to express her sincere gratitude.

It can be really hard to learn a language well without living in a country full of native speakers! You have to find something interesting! Here’s the solution: TV Series.
Game of Thrones
You should really start watching it. The language is beautiful and easy to understand. Drama, love and good characters mark the show and there are actors from all around the world. You won’t know what’s going to happen at the ending. This is a must-see!
Sherlock
A British masterpiece. Is there any language learner who has not heard of Sherlock Holmes and his friend John Watson The writers placed the stories into London in the 21st century, so it’s basically a modern version of the original stories. Here you have everything that an English language learner could wish for: British accents, good acting, long and interesting conversations with a lot of humour.
Friends
Everybody knows Friends, which couldn’t be missed off of this list. With many different accents to be heard and lots of dialects, this is the perfect show for English learners. The plot is relatively simple to understand. Six friends battle with tough jobs, complicated relationships and life in Manhattan, New York. In parts of the show there are also British accents to listen to and learn.
How I Met Your Mother
It is one of the most successful situation comedies in the United States, attracting the audience all around the world. It’s about the life of five friends that live in New York, focusing on their work and their favorite free time activity: sitting in their favorite bar. You get to know many modern American expressions and can enjoy a lot of dialects that make the show even more interesting.

B
William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.
Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”
However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.
4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips
A. Pleasant. B. Conventional C. Challenging. D. Dangerous.
5. What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Visit. B. Avoid. C. Compare. D. Evaluate.
6. What problem does the family meet when traveling
A. They have scheduling conflicts.
B. They suffer from a tight budget.
C. They are faced with language barriers.
D. They hold different educational ideas.
7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the text
A. Toughness is the best assistant of will. B. Man who travels far knows more.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. There is no royal road to learning.
C
It is quite clear to me, based on my research, that tropical (热带的) insects rather than polar bears could be among the first species to become extinct as a result of global warming.
Insects in the tropics are already living at the limit of their temperature range and any further increases could quickly kill them off. This would be a major disaster for tropical habitats, which rely on insects for everything from pollination (授粉) to waste disposal (处理). We have found that a rise in average temperatures in the tropics of just 1℃ or 2℃ could be enough to bring about a significant and harmful effect on the survival of a wide variety of important insects. Fitness levels most likely decline quickly and there may not be much we can do about it.
Many tropical species can only accept a narrow range of temperatures because the climate they experience is pretty steady throughout the year. Now our study shows that they will be harmed by rising temperatures more than species in cold climates. Unfortunately, the tropics also hold the large majority of species on the planet.
We used daily and monthly global temperatures from the 50-year period between 1950 and 2000 and compared them against data showing the “fitness levels” of different species. “Fitness” was determined by indicators such as population growth rates and physical performance for different creatures.
We found that even moving into the shade did not help the insects. The direct effects of climate change on the organisms (生物体) we studied appear to depend a lot more on the organisms’ flexibility than on the amount of warming in the area where they lived.
As well as the danger for insects, the research confirms that there will be other consequences of global warming that could also have a serious impact on tropical regions, particularly on food crops. Our research focused only on the impact of changes in temperature, but warming also will change rainfall patterns. These changes could be more important for many tropical organisms, such as plants, but they are harder to predict.
8. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Global warming. B. Living in the tropics.
C. Killing polar bears off. D. Insects becoming extinct.
9. Why are tropical species more likely harmed by climate change
A. The fitness of crops they feed on is declining.
B. They can hardly stand up to temperature changes.
C. Their living environment has been greatly damaged.
D. The amount of warming is not steady in the tropics.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. The significance of the research.
B. The challenge facing the researchers.
C. Predictions about the impacts of global warming.
D. Suggestions on how to preserve tropical regions.
11. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice.
C. To report a coming event. D. To present a research result.
D
A new study proves when their teenagers cut back on social media use, they seem to feel better about themselves. Helen Thai, a doctoral student in psychology at McGill University, conducted the study. She said the research came from her own personal experiences. “I couldn’t help but compare myself when I was using social media, making me unsatisfied with my self-image.” Thai says. Although she was aware that social media posts often presented images that can be unrealistic in real life, it still had a negative impact on her. So, Thai and a team of researchers decided to test whether reduced time on social media would increase self-confidence in body image.
They hired a few hundred volunteers, aged 14-18, all of whom had experienced signs of anxiety or depression, which could make them easier to be affected by social media. Half of the teens were asked to reduce their social media to 60 minutes a day for three weeks. The other half continued to use social media freely, which averaged about three hours per day. The researchers gave the teens surveys at the beginning and end of the study. It included statements such as “I’m pretty happy about the way I look,” and “I am satisfied with my weight.”
Among the group that cut social media use, the overall score on appearance satisfaction improved from 2.95 to 3.15 on a 5 point scale. “This may seem like a small change, but any change in such a short period of time is striking,” the authors say.
“This research showed promising results that weight and appearance confidence can improve when people cut back on social media use,” wrote Thai. Thai says it’s encouraging that teens were willing to cut back screen time, even for three weeks. It’s also worth experimenting this approach with other groups, such as people with or at risk of eating disorders.
12. What inspired Thai to do the research
A. Her major. B. Online posts. C. Her experience. D. Social pressure.
13 What do the volunteers have in common
A. Family background. B. Mental problems. C. Learning abilities. D. Body shape.
14. What did Thai think of the result of their study
A. It proved their expectation. B. It made them disappointed.
C. It changed their first idea. D. It needed further study.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Higher confidence, more image satisfaction B. Less social media use, less image anxiety
C. To be a social media addict or not D. Social media, love at first sight

57. 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。
Polly Goodman, 82-year-old, was a rich old woman. Her husband was a businessman and left her a large fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself. The only problem was that her son who was a doctor busy with his work seldom had time to visit her, leaving her living lonely.
One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their mother calling out to them. “Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!”
Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face.
“Hi, I’m Polly. I live by the beach.” Polly said.
The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell. Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left.
When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn’t with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their mother s company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home. Out of curiosity and care Polly decided to follow them to their house.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
