Florence, a 17-year-old senior student in high school, was busy composing (创作) a song. She plans to publish an album (音乐专辑) with three other music lovers whom she met at the 2016 Campus Singing Competition. Edward, 18, is another one of the four students to make their own album. Actually he was the one who came up with this fun idea in the first place.
“Everyone loves music. Being a good way to express our feelings and emotions, music can tell something about who we are and our experience of the world. We hope we can use our music to touch our peers (同龄人),” Edward said.
The album includes 15 songs on three themes-love, campus life and youth, with pop and electronic music styles. The inspiration for the songs came from the students’ lives. Take the song Sea of Tranquility for example—it was written by Edward during a flight back to Chengdu after he took part in the China High School Biology Olympiad in summer. “The sky is clear and the ground looks small from the plane. This scene makes me feel calm and peaceful,” Edward explained.
The songs were created one by one with the efforts of the four writers. But a challenge soon appeared. The students found that they didn’t have enough money to produce the album. So to cut down their costs, they used an iPad and headphones to record the songs in an empty classroom on the weekend.
Apart from reducing their costs, they also tried to raise money through crowdfunding on the Internet. They raised more than 7,000 dollars before the album was published in October. “Thanks to all the supporters, we’ll keep working on our own music,” Edward said.
4. Why did Edward and his music team make the album
A. To earn money. B. To be famous.
C. To influence young people. D. To make friends.
5. What can we know about the songs from the album
A. They were written by Edward.
B. They are based on students’ lives.
C. They are quite different in style.
D. They are mainly about friendship.

【16题详解】
空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子，根据下文讲述的三种睡觉姿势对健康的影响可知，空格处的句子应该提到睡觉姿势对人的健康的影响，所以F项“Here, this article reveals exactly how your sleep position is affecting your health.（在这里，这篇文章揭示了你的睡眠姿势是如何影响你的健康的）”填入空格处，可以引起下文，符合题意。故选F项。
【17题详解】
空格前的句子“Often our body naturally moves to this position, which is linked to when we were in the womb in the foetal(胎儿的) position.（我们的身体通常会自然地移动到这个姿势，这与我们在子宫里的胎儿姿势有关）”是说侧卧而睡与胎儿的姿势有关，而空格后的句子“It offers a number of benefits to your body, from promoting healthy spine alignment(脊椎对齐) which can help to prevent back pain to reducing heartburn and snoring.（它对你的身体有很多好处，从促进健康的脊柱，可以帮助防止背痛，到减少胃灼热和打鼾）”却是在说侧卧而睡对健康的好处，前后句子之间缺少过渡，所以空格处的句子应该起到过渡作用，过渡到讲述侧卧而睡对健康的影响上来。所以B项“Sleeping on your side is probably the best position（侧卧可能是最好的睡姿）”填入空格处，可以起到这种过渡作用。故填B项。
【18题详解】
空格前的句子“When you’re sleeping on your back, it’s easy to keep alignment and to also evenly distribute your weight.（当你平躺着睡觉时，很容易保持身体的直线，也很容易平均分配你的体重）”是说，平躺着睡觉对身体的好处，空格处的句子也应该涉及平躺着睡的好处，所以A项“This also helps to prevent any neck and back pain.（这也有助于预防颈部和背部疼痛）”填入空格处，可以顺接上文的内容。故选A项。
【19题详解】
空格前的句子“Sleeping on your stomach is the least common sleeping position. （趴着睡是最不常见的睡姿）”是说趴着睡是最不常见的睡姿，空格后的句子“And those who sleep on their stomach could put themselves at risk of a less restful night’s sleep. The stomach offers the least amount of back support and can increase pressure on the spine which may cause pain once you wake up.（那些趴着睡的人可能会让自己晚上睡得不那么安稳。胃对背部的支撑最少，而且会增加脊椎的压力，醒来后可能会引起疼痛）”又说趴着睡对健康的不良影响，所以空格处的句子也应该是说趴着睡的弊端，所以D项“There are more negatives to this position compared to positives.（这种姿势的坏处比好处要多）”填入空格处，和上下文是顺接关系，符合题意。故选D项。
【20题详解】
空格后的句子“You should consider various factors such as if you snore or suffer sleep problems, or if you often have back and neck pain.（你应该考虑各种因素，比如你是否打鼾或有睡眠问题，或者你是否经常背部和颈部疼痛）”是说，你的睡觉姿势可能受各种因素的影响，与个人的具体情况有关，空格处的句子也应该提到相关内容，所以E项“Determining the sleeping position for you is personal preference.（睡姿是个人喜好决定的）”填入空格处，和下文是顺接关系。故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍茶的历史和中国人喝茶的习俗。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这也是一个更好地享受生活的方式。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格后面的名词way是可数名词单数，这里表示泛指，“一个”的意思，第一个音素是辅音音素，所以用a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：关于茶的发现的故事取决于你问的人，但我们知道中国人从5000年前的神农氏开始就一直在喝茶。分析句子结构和意思可知，____2____ are about the discovery of tea是定语从句，先行词是Stories，在从句中做主语，指物。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：通常，茶被认为是药用的，是日常生活的中心，因此中国的一句古老的谚语将茶与柴米油盐酱醋一起列为每天早上要收集的七种重要东西。分析句子结构和意思可知，句子主语tea和谓语动词believe是被动关系，这句话描述的是现在的事实，所以谓语用一般现在时的被动语态结构，主语是tea，be动词用is。故填is believed。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：见第3题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，修饰后面的名词life，意为“日常的”。故填daily。
40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：茶在中国社会传统上有三个主要目的：彰显地位、凝聚人心、增进健康。分析句子结构和意思可知，空格前面有three修饰，所以名词用复数形式。故填purposes。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：在古代，“贡茶”是皇帝专用的。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词，修饰谓语动词was kept，意为“专门地”。故填specially。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：给客人一杯茶来欢迎他们是很常见的。分析句子结构和意思可知，It是形式主语，后面用动词不定式短语作真正的主语。故填to give。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：它意味着充当一种媒介，通过它，人们可以更接近自然。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查固定搭配act as，意为“充当”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：见第8题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词的比较级，表示“更加近的”意思。故填closer。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在大自然中喝茶将创造与环境的精神联系，并使人们感到放松。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词，作表语，意为“放松的”。故填relaxed。

One day, when I was 7 years old, my father was standing in line to buy tickets for the circus for me.
And there was only one family in front of us. I was deeply impressed by them. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
I could sense that they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my hero.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.”
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually, we were not wealthy in any sense. So, I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

【答案】One possible version:
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir. This fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He held my dad’s hands and received the bill with tears in his eyes. He said gratefully, “Thank you so much. This means a lot to me and my family.” That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. We didn’t go to the circus that night. When I asked my father why he did so, he said, “My child, it was a heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a handout, but we should appreciate what we have obtained from life and catch every opportunity to help others. We didn’t go to the circus tonight, but we did a great thing,” he added. Hearing my father’s words, I smiled happily.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文讲述了作者小时候和父亲一起去看马戏，排队买票时他们前面只有一个家庭，这个家庭有八个孩子，孩子们很兴奋地讨论即将看到的马戏表演，很明显这一家从未看过马戏。孩子们的父亲在得知他们全家一起看马戏需要付的票价时尴尬地发现自己没有足够的钱。这时作者的父亲把自己的20美元掏出来扔在地上，告诉这位男土这是他掉的钱，这位男士明白了一切，非常感激。

Florence, a 17-year-old senior student in high school, was busy composing (创作) a song. She plans to publish an album (音乐专辑) with three other music lovers whom she met at the 2016 Campus Singing Competition. Edward, 18, is another one of the four students to make their own album. Actually he was the one who came up with this fun idea in the first place.
“Everyone loves music. Being a good way to express our feelings and emotions, music can tell something about who we are and our experience of the world. We hope we can use our music to touch our peers (同龄人),” Edward said.
The album includes 15 songs on three themes-love, campus life and youth, with pop and electronic music styles. The inspiration for the songs came from the students’ lives. Take the song Sea of Tranquility for example—it was written by Edward during a flight back to Chengdu after he took part in the China High School Biology Olympiad in summer. “The sky is clear and the ground looks small from the plane. This scene makes me feel calm and peaceful,” Edward explained.
The songs were created one by one with the efforts of the four writers. But a challenge soon appeared. The students found that they didn’t have enough money to produce the album. So to cut down their costs they used an iPad and headphones to record the songs in an empty classroom on the weekend.
Apart from reducing their costs, they also tried to raise money through crowdfunding on the Internet. They raised more than 7,000 dollars before the album was published in October. “Thanks to all the supporters, we’ll keep working on our own music,” Edward said.

One day, when I was 7 years old, my father was standing in line to buy tickets for the circus for me.
And there was only one family in front of us. I was deeply impressed by them. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
I could sense that they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my hero.”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right.”
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually, we were not wealthy in any sense. So, I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
