An amusement park in France has come up with an unusual way of picking up litter. They have trained crows (乌鸦) to pick up small pieces of litter in order to earn a reward (奖励).
Puy du Fou is the second most popular theme park in France. The park puts on historical shows about different periods of time. For example, they have had shows about the time of the Vikings and the time of the Romans.
For some of the shows, Puy du Fou uses trained birds. At times as many as 300 birds fly at the same time. One day Christophe Gaborit, who works with the birds, started wondering if birds could be trained to pick up litter. Several years ago, Mr. Gaborit began working with two rooks. Rooks are a kind of crow. They are known for being clever and for working well with humans.
Mr. Gaborit created a special box to train his crows. The box had two drawers. The crows were trained to put a piece of litter into one drawer. When they did that. Mr. Gaborit would slide a board to show a small treat for the crow in the other drawer.
Once the crows learned that they could get food by putting litter in the box, they became good at flying around and picking up small pieces of litter. They always seemed to want more food. Mr. Gaborit said that sometimes the rooks would try to trick him by bringing back something that was not litter, like a piece of wood.
This year, Mr. Gaborit and Puy du Fou decided that they should train more crows, so that they could help clean the park. Nicolas de Villiers, who ran the park, said that one of their reasons for doing this was to show “that nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment”.

A. To earn a treat. B. To gain their master’s love.
C. To exchange for money. D. To protect the environment.
29. How did Mr. Gaborit train his two crows

C. By showing them historical shows. D. By punishing wrong behaviors.

A. The rooks are very smart.
B. Wood is some kind of litter.
C. The rooks fly around to look for food.
D. Mr. Gaborit is strict with the trained birds.

Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or hopping over crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
An air taxi is a small aircraft that can carry people from place to place. Air taxis don’t need a long runway like planes do. They can go straight up and down, like a helicopter.
In June the FAA—the government group in charge of America’s skies—agreed to allow a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxi.
Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. But this is the first time that they’re testing a taxi that’s been built in a factory. Before that, all their taxis were made by hand.
By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. They’ve teamed up with Delta Air Lines to create a program to fly people from their homes to the airport. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride-sharing service in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi.
Compared with helicopters, Joby claims their taxis are cheaper. The company expects to charge about $3 a mile (1.6 kilometers) at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile.
Joby isn’t the only company to develop air panies around the world are working on similar vehicles. France even plans to use a few air taxis in Paris during next summer’s Olympic Games.
But there’s still a lot to do before air taxis become common. For one thing, governments need to make rules about where, when, and how these taxis can fly.
Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. The FAA says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”
32. What do the underlined words “hopping over” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Moving below. B. Walking across. C. Jumping into. D. Flying over.
33. What can we know about Joby’s air taxis
A. They are factory-made from the start.
B. They were developed several years ago.
C. They will offer service to passengers through the FAA.
D. They will be used during the next Olympic Games in Paris.
34. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Joby’s plan about air taxis. B. The history of Joby Aviation.
C. Air taxi team’s service promises. D. Instructions for using a new app.
35. In what way are air taxis better than helicopters
A. They are more comfortable. B. They are more intelligent.
C. They are cheaper. D. They are faster.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Joby Aviation公司正在研发的空中飞行出租车的各种优势，并且借此表达了未来对飞行汽车的乐观态度。

【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Compared with helicopters, Joby claims their taxis are cheaper. (Joby称，与直升机相比，他们的出租车更便宜)”可知，空中出租车与直升机相比更便宜，故选C项。

上文“As you add more fiber to your diet, make sure to drink plenty of water as well. (当你在饮食中添加更多的纤维时，一定要喝足够的水。)”建议同时要喝足够的水，选项G“它可以帮助纤维顺利通过你的消化系统”承接上文，说明水的作用是帮助纤维顺利通过你的消化系统。选项中It指上文中water，语义通顺，故选G项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了表情符号起源以及传播过程。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：表情符号在我们的日常生活中被广泛使用，已经成为一种重要的交流方式。可数名词way此处为泛指，用不定冠词修饰，且important是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：1999年，日本设计师Shigetaka Kurita在一个名为i-mode的移动互联网平台上创作了第一批表情符号。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Shigetaka Kurita，在从句作主语，指人，故填who。

考查非谓语动词。句意：1999年，日本设计师Shigetaka Kurita在一个名为i-mode的移动互联网平台上创作了第一批表情符号。分析句子结构可知call与逻辑主语platform构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填called。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Kurita试图开发一种简单让人们在短信中表达情感的方法。在way后用动词不定式作后置定语，意为“做某事的方法”。故填to express。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：随着表情符号的流行，它们面临着一个重大的技术障碍：早期的表情符号无法在不同的移动平台上发送，因为没有标准化的编码。作gain的宾语，应用名词popularity，不可数。故填popularity。
【61题详解】
考查语态。句意：随着表情符号的流行，它们面临着一个重大的技术障碍：早期的表情符号无法在不同的移动平台上发送，因为没有标准化的编码。主语与谓语构成被动关系，且could not后跟动词原形。故填be sent。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：这个问题在2010年由Unicode联盟解决，该联盟负责维护跨平台文本和符号的标准化编码。短语be responsible for表示“负责”。故填for。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意：由于它们起源于日本，许多早期的表情符号都反映了日本文化。修饰名词origins应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：随着它们在全球范围内的传播，新的汉字被添加进来，以解释文化差异，并提供一种更通用的交流方式。修饰动词spread应用副词globally，故填globally。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：用户在使用表情符号交流时还必须考虑文化敏感性，因为某些符号在不同的文化中可能有截然不同的含义。此处为状语从句的省略，且communicate与users构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填communicating。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The whole city was quiet when my van (面包车) pulled up to a cafe. It was 8:00 am and the businesses wouldn’t be open for another three hours. When the students studying film production jumped out of the van and began unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading.
I learned a long time ago that I was just the driver and was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need advice and help. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions and helping each other. Anything else that I might be able to tell them was not required and unwelcome. Sometimes, that made me feel a bit sad.
Emptied of its movie-related contents, the van now became the place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys so that if anything was needed I could open the van.
Knowing that I could find a corner somewhere and finish reading the book, I got out of the van and looked for a place to sit down. It was early, but the California sun was already beating down, and I didn’t want to sit in the heat. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away. I saw a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more people. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the other end.
The man looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty and his hair was messy. I soon smelled the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of blacked-out teeth.
We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood and walked in front of me. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly. “For what ” I questioned. He looked at the ground as he whispered, “Usually people won’t even look at me, let alone sit by me. Thank you for treating me like a human being.” I honestly didn’t know what to say as he turned, picked up a small, dirty backpack and walked quickly around the corner. I was shocked. I hadn’t done anything spectacular; I just shared a bench.
After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man. To me, I just wanted a place to sit out of the sun. We were no different, no matter who we were, what we did in our lives or where we laid our heads at night. Both of us just wanted to be treated like a human being. Thinking of the man’s sincere expression, I felt a wave of warmth through me.
【解析】
【分析】本文讲述了作者在等待孩子们拍摄的过程中，想找一个地方看书。可是阳光太灼热，他想找一个遮阴处。看到不远处有一张公园的长凳，从而走上前去坐在长凳的一端。长凳另一端坐着一位全身散发着臭味的流浪汉。但是作者并没有离开，而是对着流浪汉微笑。流浪汉感受到了尊重，对作者说了一声“谢谢”。
【详解】段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“听到他的话，我惊讶地抬起头来。”可知，作者对流浪汉说“谢谢”感到很困惑和惊讶。所以第一段可描写作者询问对方“为什么对他说谢谢”，以及阐明流浪汉说谢谢的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“几秒钟后，我意识到我的行为对这个男人真的有意义。”可知，作者终于反应过来这个男人说谢谢的原因。所以第二段可描写他的行为对这位流浪汉具有重大的意义。
续写线索：疑惑→解释→惊讶→感悟

Dr. Joseph Dituri also known as “Dr. Deep Sea”, has just finished an amazing adventure. For 100 days, the University of South Florida teacher lived in a small room underwater. He set a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. In his undersea room. Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface. Dr. Dituri believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes online, and he had chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries on social media. Dr. Dituri worked with other marine experts to figure out ways to protect and take care of the ocean. He said what he missed the most when he was underwater was sunshine.
Dr. Dituri was smiling when he returned to the surface. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was OK. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became half an inch (1.3 centimeters) shorter during his time in the higher pressure undersea. He was also able to sleep much better. His health greatly improved in a couple of other ways, too.
Dr. Dituri said his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows ” he said, “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set.”
24. What does Dr. Dituri think about the effect of high pressure on humans

An amusement park in France has come up with an unusual way of picking up litter. They have trained crows (乌鸦) to pick up small pieces of litter in order to earn a reward (奖励).
Puy du Fou is the second most popular theme park in France. The park puts on historical shows about different periods of time. For example, they have had shows about the time of the Vikings and the time of the Romans.
For some of the shows, Puy du Fou uses trained birds. At times as many as 300 birds fly at the same time. One day Christophe Gaborit, who works with the birds, started wondering if birds could be trained to pick up litter. Several years ago, Mr. Gaborit began working with two rooks. Rooks are a kind of crow. They are known for being clever and for working well with humans.
Mr. Gaborit created a special box to train his crows. The box had two drawers. The crows were trained to put a piece of litter into one drawer. When they did that. Mr. Gaborit would slide a board to show a small treat for the crow in the other drawer.
Once the crows learned that they could get food by putting litter in the box, they became good at flying around and picking up small pieces of litter. They always seemed to want more food. Mr. Gaborit said that sometimes the rooks would try to trick him by bringing back something that was not litter, like a piece of wood.
This year, Mr. Gaborit and Puy du Fou decided that they should train more crows, so that they could help clean the park. Nicolas de Villiers, who ran the park, said that one of their reasons for doing this was to show “that nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment”.

Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or hopping over crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.
An air taxi is a small aircraft that can carry people from place to place. Air taxis don’t need a long runway like planes do. They can go straight up and down, like a helicopter.
In June, the FAA—the government group in charge of America’s skies—agreed to allow a company called Joby Aviation to start testing their new air taxi.
Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. But this is the first time that they’re testing a taxi that’s been built in a factory. Before that, all their taxis were made by hand.
By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. They’ve teamed up with Delta Air Lines to create a program to fly people from their homes to the airport. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride-sharing service in the air. Just like you might use an app to order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi.
Compared with helicopters, Joby claims their taxis are cheaper. The company expects to charge about $3 a mile (1.6 kilometers) at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile.
Joby isn’t the only company to develop air panies around the world are working on similar vehicles. France even plans to use a few air taxis in Paris during next summer’s Olympic Games.
But there’s still a lot to do before air taxis become common. For one thing, governments need to make rules about where, when, and how these taxis can fly.
Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. The FAA says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”
32 What do the underlined words “hopping over” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Moving below. B. Walking across. C. Jumping into. D. Flying over.
33. What can we know about Joby’s air taxis
A. They are factory-made from the start.
B. They were developed several years ago.
C. They will offer service to passengers through the FAA.
D. They will be used during the next Olympic Games in Paris.
34. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Joby’s plan about air taxis. B. The history of Joby Aviation.
C. Air taxi team’s service promises. D. Instructions for using a new app.
35. In what way are air taxis better than helicopters
A. They are more comfortable. B. They are more intelligent.
C. They are cheaper. D. They are faster.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The whole city was quiet when my van (面包车) pulled up to a cafe. It was 8:00 am and the businesses wouldn’t be open for another three hours. When the students studying film production jumped out of the van and began unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading.
I learned a long time ago that I was just the driver and was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need advice and help. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions and helping each other. Anything else that I might be able to tell them was not required and unwelcome. Sometimes, that made me feel a bit sad.
Emptied of its movie-related contents, the van now became the place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys so that if anything was needed I could open the van.
Knowing that I could find a corner somewhere and finish reading the book, I got out of the van and looked for a place to sit down. It was early, but the California sun was already beating down, and I didn’t want to sit in the heat. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so paces away. I saw a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more people. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the other end.
The man looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were dirty and his hair was messy. I soon smelled the unpleasant smell of sweat on his body. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of blacked-out teeth.
We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood and walked in front of me. In a slightly shaky but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing his words, I raised my head surprisingly.

After several seconds, I realized my actions had truly meant something to this man.
