When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
4. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
5. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.
C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
6. What do we know about the “mini community library”
A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month.
7. Why did the author start to use the “library”
A. He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C. He found there were excellent free books.
D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段第五句“I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London.(我当时在伦敦我那狭小的合租房子里为我的剧本进行试演。)”可知，此处是指使“我”的合租房看起来更“年轻专业”一点，所以it代指“合租房”。故选B。

C
For millions of years, sea turtles (海龟) have been making the great journey from Costa Rican beaches to the ocean.
Female sea turtles come to shore to nest (筑巢) on the same beach where they were born. Scientists are not sure how sea turtles remember where they were born, but they believe that sea turtles can use the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) to help them find their way back. Mother sea turtles usually nest every two to three years, but they might lay two or three nests in one year.
Unlike most animals, the temperature inside the nest determines whether the turtles will be male or female. Warmer nests produce more female turtles. It can take from six weeks to two months for baby turtles to appear from the nest. Once they sense cooler nighttime temperatures, they will begin their perilous journey towards the sea. The little turtles’ journey to the ocean isn’t a leisurely walk on the beach. In fact,on some beaches, only 10 percent of them make it to the ocean.
Natural hunters are not the only threat to sea turtles. Humans and their activities have also severely reduced the number of sea turtles in the oceans. Fishing activities, boat traffic, artificial (人工的) lighting, and pollution are making the trip from beach to ocean difficult. Due to a variety of these threats, six out of seven sea turtle species worldwide are considered endangered or threatened.
While sea turtles may face several threats to their survival, there are many opportunities for humans to help them. For example, avoid fishing in waters that are known to have sea turtles. If you do accidentally hook (钓) a turtle, do not remove the hook. Instead, call local wildlife authorities to help with removal. Lights draw baby turtles away from the ocean. Turn off your lights at night when you are near a sea turtle nesting area. Another way to help sea turtles is to reduce your plastic use. Plastic litter is among the number one causes of deaths of sea turtles. Last, get involved with sea turtle protection efforts.
8. Which of the following are scientists unsure about
A. How often a sea turtle nests. B. What makes sea turtles male.
C. How sea turtles find their birthplace. D. Whether male sea turtles outnumber female ones.
9. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 3mean
A. Short. B. Emotional. C. Dangerous. D. Comfortable.
10. What can we infer about sea turtles from paragraph4
A. They are threatened to die out. B. They are primarily influenced by fishing.
C. They are well adapted to human activities. D. They are getting a lot of public attention.
11. What does the author suggest people do about sea turtle protection
A. Reduce plastic use effortfully. B. Light sea turtles’ way to the ocean.
C. Help baby sea turtles find their mothers. D. Remove any turtle they hook as soon as possible.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了海龟面临的威胁以及人类如何保护海龟。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists are not sure how sea turtles remember where they were born”（科学家们不确定海龟是如何记住它们出生的地方的。）可知，科学家不确定海龟是如何找到它们的出生地的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The little turtles’ journey to the ocean isn’t a leisurely walk on the beach. In fact,on some beaches, only 10 percent of them make it to the ocean.”（小海龟的海洋之旅并不是在海滩上悠闲地散步。事实上，在一些海滩上，只有10%的小海龟能成功进入了海洋。）可知，海龟进入大海的旅程是危险的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Due to a variety of these threats, six out of seven sea turtle species worldwide are considered endangered or threatened.”（由于各种各样的威胁的，全世界有七分之六的海龟物种被认为是濒危或受威胁的。）可知，海龟受到灭绝的威胁。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another way to help sea turtles is to reduce your plastic use. Plastic litter is among the number one causes of deaths of sea turtles.”（另一种帮助海龟的方法是减少塑料的使用。塑料垃圾是海龟死亡的头号原因之一。）可知，作者建议人们努力减少塑料的使用。故选A项。
D
These days, more people in Denmark are surviving serious heart attacks. Some of that good news is thanks to a smartphone app called Heartrunner.
Many heart attacks happen when people are not near doctors. The most serious type of heart attack is when the heart stops. In Denmark, the survival rate for people whose heart had stopped when they were not near doctors used to be 4%. In the past 20 years, it has risen to 16%. Denmark has seen a dramatic change in survival from heart attacks after it began recruiting (招募) volunteers and arming some of them with smartphone technology.
Denmark’s emergency number is 112. Call center workers can use Heartrunner to contact up to 20 volunteers within 1.1 miles of an emergency. Workers also send out an ambulance. They often tell the caller how to start CPR. Heartrunner sends an alert (警报) to volunteers. It asks, “Can you run ” If a person says yes, the app sends the address. If there is an AED nearby, the app tells volunteers where to find it.
More than 100,000 people in Denmark volunteer for Heartrunner. About 75% of them are not health care workers. That’s OK, said expert Freddy Lippert. “The patient is dead, and if you don’t do anything, nine out of 10 will be dead forever. The faster CPR begins, the better the chance of restarting the heart. In Denmark, everyday people responded faster than professionals to more than four in 10 heart attacks.”
Erik Kaxe, 81, lives in a small Danish town. Recently, his heart stopped. His wife called 112. The ambulance was sent. And the Heartrunner alert went out. Within minutes, 10 strangers who lived nearby showed up at their house. The ambulance came 17 minutes after the call. So many helpers showed up that they were able to do far more than just CPR. When the ambulance showed up, Kaxe was breathing again. He lived and is now back at home.
“Dying wasn’t difficult” he said. “But waking up is.”
12. What do the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2 show
A. Heartrunner has raised a lot of concern.
B. Heartrunner has made a big difference in Denmark.
C. An increasing number of people have suffered heart attacks.
D. Danish doctors have successfully improved heart attack survival rates.
13. How does Heartrunner work
A. It calls 112 immediately. B. It contacts an ambulance.
C. It sends helpers to victims. D. It sends alerts to AED owners.
14. What can we infer from Freddy Lippert’s words
A. Every minute counts for victims. B. Ambulances respond slowly in Denmark.
C. There is a serious lack of health care workers. D. Volunteers for Heartrunner should be professionals.
15. Why does the author mention Kaxe
A. To tell a touching story. B. To remind us to value life.
C. To show how Heartrunner saves lives. D. To teach us how to use the life-saving app.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了丹麦一个名为Heartrunner的智能手机应用程序，可以及时为心脏病患者提供帮助。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many heart attacks happen when people are not near doctors. The most serious type of heart attack is when the heart stops. In Denmark, the survival rate for people whose heart had stopped when they were not near doctors used to be 4%. In the past 20 years, it has risen to 16%. Denmark has seen a dramatic change in survival from heart attacks after it began recruiting (招募) volunteers and arming some of them with smartphone technology.(许多心脏病发作是在人们没有医生的情况下发生的。最严重的心脏病发作是心脏停止跳动。在丹麦，在没有医生的情况下心脏停止跳动的病人的存活率曾经是4%。在过去的20年里，这一比例上升到了16%。丹麦开始招募志愿者，并为其中一些人配备智能手机技术后，心脏病患者的存活率发生了巨大变化)”可知，第二段提到的数字说明了Heartrunner在丹麦产生了很大的影响。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Call center workers can use Heartrunner to contact up to 20 volunteers within 1.1 miles of an emergency. Workers also send out an ambulance. They often tell the caller how to start CPR. Heartrunner sends an alert (警报) to volunteers. It asks, “Can you run ” If a person says yes, the app sends the address. If there is an AED nearby, the app tells volunteers where to find it.(呼叫中心的工作人员可以使用Heartrunner在距离紧急情况1.1英里的范围内联系最多20名志愿者。工人们也派出了救护车。他们通常会告诉打电话的人如何开始心肺复苏术。Heartrunner向志愿者发送警报。它问：“你能过去吗？”如果有人说是，应用程序就会发送地址。如果附近有一台AED，应用程序会告诉志愿者去哪里找到它)”可知，Heartrunner向病人派遣助手来运作。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The patient is dead, and if you don’t do anything, nine out of 10 will be dead forever. The faster CPR begins, the better the chance of restarting the heart.(病人已经死亡，如果你什么都不做，十有八九会永远死去。心肺复苏开始得越快，重启心脏的机会就越大)”可推知，对受害者来说，每一分钟都很重要。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Recently, his heart stopped. His wife called 112. The ambulance was sent. And the Heartrunner alert went out. Within minutes, 10 strangers who lived nearby showed up at their house. The ambulance came 17 minutes after the call. So many helpers showed up that they were able to do far more than just CPR. When the ambulance showed up, Kaxe was breathing again. He lived and is now back at home.(最近，他的心跳停止了。他的妻子拨打了 112。救护车被派来了。同时，Heartrunner 警报响起。几分钟内，10 个住在附近的陌生人出现在他们家。救护车在接到电话 17 分钟后赶到。这么多的救援人员出现，他们能做的远不止心肺复苏。救护车赶到时，卡克斯已经恢复了呼吸。他活了下来，现在已经回到家中)”可推知，作者提到Kaxe是为了展示Heartrunner如何拯救生命的。故选C。

【16题详解】
根据上文“Sometimes it seems hard to try to make an impact on this world of ours. Often, students and their communities can begin by focusing on environmental changes. By making pretty simple changes schools can impact the earth in a positive way.(有时候，试图对我们的世界产生影响似乎很难。通常，学生和他们的社区可以从关注环境变化开始。通过做一些非常简单的改变，学校可以以积极的方式影响地球)”结合后文主要说明了学校保护环境的方法，故C选项“这里有一些方法来激励你的学校帮助保护我们的环境”符合语境，故选C。

【19题详解】
根据上文“Schools can encourage students to make purchases unharmful to the earth.(学校可以鼓励学生购买对地球无害的东西)”以及后文“Switching from pencils to pens can make a huge difference as well.

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。
There’s a lot that goes into moving to a new city. You’re house hunting in areas you aren’t familiar with, dragging all of your belongings around, trying to figure out which grocery store keeps your favourite noodles in stock, and wondering when you’ll ever find a new dentist. This was exactly what I went through when I settled in Chicago.
Every day, I was fully occupied, exhausted. I found my new city so big and unfriendly.
After graduating from college in May, I moved from the town of Oxford, Mississippi, to Chicago to start my full-time job. Typically, when I went through lots of change in my life, I had consistent faces around me: my family or my friends. This time, however, it was just me. And for someone who’s an introvert (内向的人), this was anything but easy.
Besides, the job itself was also something beyond my expectation. What I learnt in college was totally different from what I needed to do in the company. I worked longer hours to sort things out and couldn’t sleep well at night. It was a lot of change at once. It was too much. I was helpless.
What’s worse, my poor health added to the helplessness. Due to days of pressure, I had a physical problem. It seemed that I had to go to hospital for a thorough examination. It seemed a small challenge compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go wrong right from the beginning.
Not having a car or knowing the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get around. Although I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was obvious that I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly got on a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I had no choice but to get off the bus.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Para.1:
I had no choice but to get off the bus. Standing on the pavement, I felt totally at a loss. Strangers passed by, but I couldn’t gather the courage to ask for directions. Just at the moment, a middle-aged woman, instead of moving on, stopped to ask if I needed help. After I explained my situation to her, she pointed to a bus stop across the street. “No.5 bus will take you to the hospital.” she said kindly. I showed my thanks and hurried to the stop, where I waited for the bus restlessly.
Para.2:
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman. She waved her hand and offered to give me a ride. The smile on her face was so bright that I was nearly moved to tears. With gratitude filling my heart, I got in the car. “I see you’re not familiar with the city,” she chuckled. I told her about my helplessness in the new city along the way. “Don’t worry. Everything will work out here.” she comforted me when dropping me off at the hospital. Yes, everything would go fine, starting from making such an amazing friend.

When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
4. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
5. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.
C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
6. What do we know about the “mini community library”
A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month.
7. Why did the author start to use the “library”

D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

For millions of years, sea turtles (海龟) have been making the great journey from Costa Rican beaches to the ocean.
Female sea turtles come to shore to nest (筑巢) on the same beach where they were born. Scientists are not sure how sea turtles remember where they were born, but they believe that sea turtles can use the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) to help them find their way back. Mother sea turtles usually nest every two to three years, but they might lay two or three nests in one year.
Unlike most animals, the temperature inside the nest determines whether the turtles will be male or female. Warmer nests produce more female turtles. It can take from six weeks to two months for baby turtles to appear from the nest. Once they sense cooler nighttime temperatures, they will begin their perilous journey towards the sea. The little turtles’ journey to the ocean isn’t a leisurely walk on the beach. In fact,on some beaches, only 10 percent of them make it to the ocean.
Natural hunters are not the only threat to sea turtles. Humans and their activities have also severely reduced the number of sea turtles in the oceans. Fishing activities, boat traffic, artificial (人工的) lighting, and pollution are making the trip from beach to ocean difficult. Due to a variety of these threats, six out of seven sea turtle species worldwide are considered endangered or threatened.
While sea turtles may face several threats to their survival, there are many opportunities for humans to help them. For example, avoid fishing in waters that are known to have sea turtles. If you do accidentally hook (钓) a turtle, do not remove the hook. Instead, call local wildlife authorities to help with removal. Lights draw baby turtles away from the ocean. Turn off your lights at night when you are near a sea turtle nesting area. Another way to help sea turtles is to reduce your plastic use. Plastic litter is among the number one causes of deaths of sea turtles. Last, get involved with sea turtle protection efforts.
8. Which of the following are scientists unsure about
A. How often a sea turtle nests. B. What makes sea turtles male.
C. How sea turtles find their birthplace. D. Whether male sea turtles outnumber female ones.
9. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 3mean
A. Short. B. Emotional. C. Dangerous. D. Comfortable.
10. What can we infer about sea turtles from paragraph4
A. They are threatened to die out. B. They are primarily influenced by fishing.
C. They are well adapted to human activities. D. They are getting a lot of public attention.
11. What does the author suggest people do about sea turtle protection
A. Reduce plastic use effortfully. B. Light sea turtles’ way to the ocean.
C. Help baby sea turtles find their mothers. D. Remove any turtle they hook as soon as possible.
D
These days, more people in Denmark are surviving serious heart attacks. Some of that good news is thanks to a smartphone app called Heartrunner.
Many heart attacks happen when people are not near doctors. The most serious type of heart attack is when the heart stops. In Denmark, the survival rate for people whose heart had stopped when they were not near doctors used to be 4%. In the past 20 years, it has risen to 16%. Denmark has seen a dramatic change in survival from heart attacks after it began recruiting (招募) volunteers and arming some of them with smartphone technology.
Denmark’s emergency number is 112. Call center workers can use Heartrunner to contact up to 20 volunteers within 1.1 miles of an emergency. Workers also send out an ambulance. They often tell the caller how to start CPR. Heartrunner sends an alert (警报) to volunteers. It asks, “Can you run ” If a person says yes, the app sends the address. If there is an AED nearby, the app tells volunteers where to find it.
More than 100,000 people in Denmark volunteer for Heartrunner. About 75% of them are not health care workers. That’s OK, said expert Freddy Lippert. “The patient is dead, and if you don’t do anything, nine out of 10 will be dead forever. The faster CPR begins, the better the chance of restarting the heart. In Denmark, everyday people responded faster than professionals to more than four in 10 heart attacks.”
Erik Kaxe, 81, lives in a small Danish town. Recently, his heart stopped. His wife called 112. The ambulance was sent. And the Heartrunner alert went out. Within minutes, 10 strangers who lived nearby showed up at their house. The ambulance came 17 minutes after the call. So many helpers showed up that they were able to do far more than just CPR. When the ambulance showed up, Kaxe was breathing again. He lived and is now back at home.

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。
There’s a lot that goes into moving to a new city. You’re house hunting in areas you aren’t familiar with, dragging all of your belongings around, trying to figure out which grocery store keeps your favourite noodles in stock, and wondering when you’ll ever find a new dentist. This was exactly what I went through when I settled in Chicago.
Every day, I was fully occupied, exhausted. I found my new city so big and unfriendly.
After graduating from college in May, I moved from the town of Oxford, Mississippi, to Chicago to start my full-time job. Typically, when I went through lots of change in my life, I had consistent faces around me: my family or my friends. This time, however, it was just me. And for someone who’s an introvert (内向的人), this was anything but easy.
Besides the job itself was also something beyond my expectation. What I learnt in college was totally different from what I needed to do in the company. I worked longer hours to sort things out and couldn’t sleep well at night. It was a lot of change at once. It was too much. I was helpless.
What’s worse, my poor health added to the helplessness. Due to days of pressure, I had a physical problem. It seemed that I had to go to hospital for a thorough examination. It seemed a small challenge compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go wrong right from the beginning.
Not having a car or knowing the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get around. Although I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was obvious that I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly got on a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I had no choice but to get off the bus.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of me and it was the same woman.
