When Schauna Austin was 20 years old, she lost her husband in a car crash. Unable to raise a baby alone, she made a difficult decision during pregnancy — to place her baby for adoption. She gave birth to a child she named Riley, and held him for 72 hours straight. “It was perfect,” Austin said, holding her new baby. “I knew I would have him for a short time, so I made every minute count. I didn’t sleep for three days until the time came to let him go.”
Her Riley became another family’s Steven. Like most closed adoptions, a firewall went up between Austin and Steven’s new parents — no communication whatsoever. But that only lasted about a week. Adoptive mother Jennifer Schoebinger and her husband, Chris Schoebinger, said they had no interest in excluding the birth mother. “You know, you can’t have too many people loving you, right Why couldn’t he be both of ours ” Chris Schoebinger said.
So, year after year, they sent Austin piles of pictures and bound books detailing Steven’s every major and minor milestones. The Schoebingers said they did this so that when Austin and their son were ready, they could pick up right where they left off. The two reunited when Steven was 7 years old. Austin taught him how to fish, and they have kept in contact ever since. Austin felt blessed beyond words, and Steven felt he got the best of both worlds.
Steven is now 26, married, and with a baby boy of his own. Much to the delight of Austin, he named the child Riley. “I think the lesson we learned is that sometimes we create barriers where barriers don’t need to be. And when we pull down those barriers, we really find love on the other side,” Chris Schorbinger said.
That love on the other side has continued to grow. The families spend Thanksgiving as one, and will of course be getting together again in the days ahead.

B. They contacted Austin as soon as they took Steven in.

Decades after landing on the Moon, people are looking to travel to another world — Mars. But why have humans not been to Mars yet
The answer lies in the fact that a trip to Mars is extremely complicated. So far, nearly two-thirds of Mars missions have met with some failure or misfortune. And those are just robotic! It gets more crucial when it comes to sending people to Mars! Mars is about 150 times farther than the Moon, which means more added fuel, bigger capsules and bigger rockets. Those challenges make a trip to Mars different from landing on the Moon.
Since Mars is so far away and turns around the Sun at a different rate from Earth, scientists must time launches very precisely. Mission planners have to wait until the best opportunity when the planets are in the correct orbital alignment (排成直线). The window for a successful launch opens up only every couple of years. While it may be possible to cut the travel time down to a month or two by using advanced technology, once on the surface of Mars, the astronauts will need to wait until Earth and Mars are correctly aligned again before returning.
There is another problem. How do the travelers guarantee the supply of enough oxygen, water and food Growing plants that produce both food and oxygen is a good start. However, this means that should the plants die, things will go wrong. Astronauts could take food, water, and oxygen along, but enough supplies for the entire trip will add weight and size to the spacecraft. One possible solution might be to send materials to be used on Mars ahead, and let them wait until the humans get there.
Still, the plans are theoretical. Over the coming two decades, mission planners hope to close the gap between theory and reality. Maybe then, human can actually send astronauts to Mars on long-term missions of exploration.
28. What do we know about the previous visits to Mars
A. They all turned out to be a big failure.
B. They were all guided and managed by robots.
C. They showed it’s difficult for humans to go there.
D. They proved it’s popular to send humans there.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about
A. The distance between Mars and Earth.
B. The traveling routines of Earth and Mars.
C The effect of technology on journey to Mars.
D. The time of journeying between Earth and Mars.
30. How can humans get enough materials for survival on Mars
A. By sending them to Mars ahead of time.
B. By planting a variety of plants on Mars.
C. By carrying enough supplies for the trip.
D. By using the existing materials on Mars.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the trip to Mars
A. Unclear. B. Hopeful. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
D
Almost everyone gossips. And a new study finds that people spend about 52 minutes per day, on average, talking to someone about others who are not present
But here’s the surprise: Despite the assumption that most gossip is trash talk, the study finds the majority of gossip is nonjudgmental chat.
“People love to talk about others,” says Jeremy Cone, a psychologist at Williams College. “Think about your own conversations with a family member or friend: You talk about everyday things that keep you connected. You share your daughter got her driver’s license or your uncle has a kidney stone. Much of it is just documenting facts.”
Of course, the study also finds that some gossip is negative or mean-spirited. About 15% of the gossip included some type of negative judgement.
But even negative gossip can serve a purpose, as more research has found.
“I think gossiping can be a smart thing to do,” says Elena Martinescu who has studied gossip in the workplace. “It allows people to keep track of what’s going on and form social connection with other people.”
Research has shown that gossip can help build group cohesion (凝聚力) and cooperation. “When you gossip, you can keep track of who is contributing to the group and who's being selfish,” Martinescu explains. “And by sharing this information, you can exclude those group members who are social loafers (游手好闲的人).”
“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for,” Martinescu says.
So, say, for instance, you were criticized for always arriving at work late. Hearing that gossip about yourself may motivate you to want to be on time.
Of course, this isn’t a license to be loose lips or to repeat baseless claims that can damage someone’s reputation unfairly. But confiding (吐露个人隐私) in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person — even when they’re negative — may be helpful.
32. Why do people often gossip according to Jeremy Cone
A. Because gossip can satisfy their curiosity. B. Because they can share social information.
C. Because they want to correct others’ mistakes. D. Because spreading negative facts is unavoidable.
33. In Elena Martinescu’s opinion, what can people benefit from gossip
A. People can be improved in an all-round way. B. People can get rid of immoral behavior rapidly.
C. People can be kept informed of others' privacy. D. People can change their behavior for the better..
34. Which of the following statements is right according to the text
A. It is plain to see that people gossip all the time.
B. Based on the study, the majority of gossip is trash talk.
C It’s advisable that we turn a deaf ear to negative gossip.
D. It’s likely that gossip helps us know more about one's quality.
35. What conclusion can we draw about gossip
A. Gossip is the last thing people could do. B. Gossip should be advocated by the society.
C. Gossip may not be as harmful as it sounds. D. Gossip is the best way to build social bonds.

A competition about Versailles literature (凡尔赛文学) was carried out on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature
____36____ It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵族化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year.

So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night.” are some examples of Versailles literature.
The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. ____38____ Most researchers concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity.
“____39____ People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “____40____”
A. And respond with sincere pity for their complaints.
B. Having too many houses, how can I decide which one to decorate
C. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
D. The key factor that makes the two groups of people different is sincerity.
E. Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace or with literature.
F. However, studies show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work.
G. The intention is to show off things of materialistic values, yet pretending that’s not the point.

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句到最后一句“So far, nearly two-thirds of Mars missions have met with some failure or misfortune. And those are just robotic! It gets more crucial when it comes to sending people to Mars! Mars is about 150 times farther than the Moon, which means more added fuel, bigger capsules and bigger rockets. Those challenges make a trip to Mars different from landing on the Moon.(到目前为止，近三分之二的火星任务遭遇了一些失败或不幸。这些还都是机器人！在将人类送上火星的问题上，这一点变得更加重要！火星的距离大约是月球的150倍，这意味着需要更多的燃料、更大的太空舱和更大的火箭。这些挑战使得火星之旅不同于登陆月球。)”可知，从之前的火星之旅中我们可以了解到人类很难到达那里。故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Since Mars is so far away and turns around the Sun at a different rate from Earth, scientists must time launches very precisely.(由于火星离太阳很远，而且绕太阳旋转的速度与地球不同，科学家必须非常精确地计算发射的时间。)”和最后一句“While it may be possible to cut the travel time down to a month or two by using advanced technology, once on the surface of Mars, the astronauts will need to wait until Earth and Mars are correctly aligned again before returning.(虽然使用先进的技术有可能将旅行时间缩短到一两个月，但一旦到达火星表面，宇航员就需要等到地球和火星再次正确对齐后才能返回。)”可知，第三段主要是讲在地球和火星之间旅行的时间。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“One possible solution might be to send materials to be used on Mars ahead, and let them wait until the humans get there.(一种可能的解决方案是提前把火星上使用的物资送过去，让它们等待人类到达那里。)”可知，人类可以通过提前将物资送到火星上的方式来在火星上获得足够的生存资源。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, the plans are theoretical. Over the coming two decades, mission planners hope to close the gap between theory and reality. Maybe then, human can actually send astronauts to Mars on long-term missions of exploration.(不过，这些计划只是理论上的。在接下来的二十年里，任务规划者希望缩小理论与现实之间的差距。也许到那时，人类真的可以派宇航员去火星进行长期的探索任务。)”可知，作者对火星之旅的态度是充满希望的。故选B。
D
Almost everyone gossips. And a new study finds that people spend about 52 minutes per day, on average, talking to someone about others who are not present
But here’s the surprise: Despite the assumption that most gossip is trash talk, the study finds the majority of gossip is nonjudgmental chat.
“People love to talk about others,” says Jeremy Cone, a psychologist at Williams College. “Think about your own conversations with a family member or friend: You talk about everyday things that keep you connected. You share your daughter got her driver’s license or your uncle has a kidney stone. Much of it is just documenting facts.”
Of course, the study also finds that some gossip is negative or mean-spirited. About 15% of the gossip included some type of negative judgement.
But even negative gossip can serve a purpose, as more research has found.
“I think gossiping can be a smart thing to do,” says Elena Martinescu who has studied gossip in the workplace. “It allows people to keep track of what’s going on and form social connection with other people.”
Research has shown that gossip can help build group cohesion (凝聚力) and cooperation. “When you gossip, you can keep track of who is contributing to the group and who's being selfish,” Martinescu explains. “And by sharing this information, you can exclude those group members who are social loafers (游手好闲的人).”
“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for,” Martinescu says.
So, say, for instance, you were criticized for always arriving at work late. Hearing that gossip about yourself may motivate you to want to be on time.
Of course, this isn’t a license to be loose lips or to repeat baseless claims that can damage someone’s reputation unfairly. But confiding (吐露个人隐私) in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person — even when they’re negative — may be helpful.
32. Why do people often gossip according to Jeremy Cone
A. Because gossip can satisfy their curiosity. B. Because they can share social information.
C. Because they want to correct others’ mistakes. D. Because spreading negative facts is unavoidable.
33. In Elena Martinescu’s opinion, what can people benefit from gossip
A. People can be improved in an all-round way. B. People can get rid of immoral behavior rapidly.
C. People can be kept informed of others' privacy. D. People can change their behavior for the better..
34. Which of the following statements is right according to the text
A. It is plain to see that people gossip all the time.
B. Based on the study, the majority of gossip is trash talk.
C. It’s advisable that we turn a deaf ear to negative gossip.
D. It’s likely that gossip helps us know more about one's quality.
35. What conclusion can we draw about gossip
A. Gossip is the last thing people could do. B. Gossip should be advocated by the society.
C. Gossip may not be as harmful as it sounds. D. Gossip is the best way to build social bonds.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对八卦进行了一个客观的评价，我们可能想象不到八卦也有其好处。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段Jeremy Cone的话“Think about your own conversations with a family member or friend: You talk about everyday things that keep you connected. You share your daughter got her driver’s license or your uncle has a kidney stone. Much of it is just documenting facts.（想象一下你和家人或者朋友的对话：你们谈论让你们保持联系的日常事务。你的女儿拿到驾照了或者你叔叔得了肾结石。其中大部分只是记录事实）”可知，Jeremy Cone认为八卦是保持日常社交联系，分享信息的一种方式，故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段Martinescu的话“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for（我们也发现，消极的八卦能让人改正他们被批评的行为）”可知，在Elena Martinescu看来，有时候八卦会让你正确看待自己的不足，从而改变不好的某些行为或习惯。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第一段“But confiding（吐露个人隐私）in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person—even when they're negative—may be helpful.（但是吐露朋友、同事的隐私，并和另外一个人分享印象也许是有帮助的）”以及文章倒数第三段“When you gossip, you can keep track of who is contributing to the group and who's being selfish,（当你八卦是，你可以了解到谁对团队做了贡献，谁更自私）”可知，八卦极有可能让我们更了解一个人的品质。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合根据倒数第三段“We also found negative gossip makes people likely to repair the aspects of their behavior that they were criticized for（我们也发现，消极的八卦能让人改正他们被批评的行为）”和最后一段“But confiding (吐露个人隐私) in your friends and colleagues and sharing impressions about another person—even when they’re negative—may be helpful.（但是向你的朋友和同事倾诉，分享对另一个人的印象，即使他们是消极的，可能会有帮助）”可推知，八卦有时也有好处，可能并不像听起来那么有害。故选C。
第二节(每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A competition about Versailles literature (凡尔赛文学) was carried out on Sina Weibo recently. So what is Versailles literature
____36____ It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵族化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year. Known as humblebragging (谦虚的吹牛), it is a boast disguised as a complaint. “____37____” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night.” are some examples of Versailles literature.
The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. ____38____ Most researchers concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity.
“____39____ People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers,” said Francesca Gino.
So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back “Just pretend you don’t get whatever it is they try to show off,” a netizen advised. “____40____”
A. And respond with sincere pity for their complaints.
B. Having too many houses, how can I decide which one to decorate
C. I’m fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
D. The key factor that makes the two groups of people different is sincerity.
E. Actually, the term has nothing to do with the French palace or with literature.
F. However, studies show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy does not work.
G. The intention is to show off things of materialistic values, yet pretending that’s not the point.
【答案】36. E 37. B 38. F 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了“凡尔赛文学”。
【36题详解】
第一段中“So what is Versailles literature (那么什么是凡尔赛文学呢？)”提出问题，什么是凡尔赛文学？结合空后“It came from The Rose of Versailles, a Japanese manga series about aristocratic (贵族化的) life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century, and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year.(这个词来源于日本漫画《凡尔赛玫瑰》，这是一部讲述18世纪末法国凡尔赛宫贵族生活的漫画，该词今年早些时候由一位中国网红创造)”可知，第二段是回答上文的问题，解释什么是凡尔赛文学，E项“实际上，这个词与法国宫殿或文学没有任何关系”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据空后“and ‘I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night.’ are some examples of Versailles literature.(‘我以为我今天早上瘦了。当我意识到这是因为我摘下了我男朋友昨晚给我的大钻戒时，我很失望。’是一些凡尔赛文学的例子)”可知，空处是凡尔赛文学的例子，B项“房子太多了，我怎么决定装修哪一间呢？”符合语境，故选B。
【38题详解】
根据上文“The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one’s successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars.(学者们表示，谦虚的吹牛背后的心理学原理是，既想让自己的成功得到认可，又想让别人喜欢自己)”可知，谦虚的吹牛是想让自己的成功得到认可，又想让别人喜欢自己，结合下文“Most researchers concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity.(大多数研究人员从他们的研究中得出结论，谦虚的吹牛者比直率的吹牛者被认为更消极，因为前者不真诚)”可知，谦虚的吹牛者不真诚，效果消极，所以空处与上文形成转折关系，F项“然而，研究表明，谦虚的吹牛作为一种自我推销策略并不奏效”符合语境，故选F。
【39题详解】
上一段中“Most researchers concluded from their research that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former’s insincerity.(大多数研究人员从他们的研究中得出结论，谦虚的吹牛者比直率的吹牛者被认为更消极，因为前者不真诚)”提到，谦虚的吹牛者和直率的吹牛者效果不同，根据下文“People don’t like braggers, but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers(人们不喜欢吹牛的人，但他们至少认为他们比谦虚的吹牛者更真诚)”可知，本段是解释上文的原因，D项“使这两类人不同的关键因素是真诚”符合语境，故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“So, how can we annoy humblebraggers back (那么，我们怎样才能惹恼那些谦虚的吹牛者呢)”可知，空处是关于如何应对谦虚的吹牛者，A项“对他们的抱怨报以真诚的同情”符合语境，故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了国际志愿者日。
【56题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：它由联合国于1985年成立。根据时间状语in 1985可知，此处应该用一般过去时；句子主语it与动词establish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此应该用被动语态。故填was established。

“This Radio Two.This is the one o'clock news.A she wolf escaped from the Dorford Zoo this morning and is believed to be still at large in the Dorford area.If hungry the wolf might be dangerous.If anyone sees this animal, please inform the nearest police-station.”
Mrs.Clarke switched the radio off: she wanted to make her middy lunch before her baby woke up.She pushed the pram(婴儿车)into the garden, left it under a tree out of the sun and went into the kitchen.
Then minutes later she came to the back door to see if everything was all right.A big dog was standing by the pram looking at the baby.“That’s the Johnson’s dog.I’ve told them they ought to keep that great animal in their own garden.Those dogs are a bit too much like wolves.”Then Mrs.Clarke went cold.“Wolves.What have I heard about wolves ”She was sure she had heard something about an escaped wolf on the radio.She looked hard at the creature by the pram—and the more she looked the more certain she became.It wasn’t the dog from next door.Like it, but different.It was as big as the dog, but the color was greyer and it looked thinner.
At this moment the creature put its front legs on the side of the pram and looked at the sleeping baby, licking its face.The baby woke up and began to cry quietly.
Mrs.Clarke wanted to scream, but she knew it would be wrong to do that.What should she do “Inform the police,” the radio had said.But that meant leaving the garden and going to the telephone near the front door.She was sure that somehow she must get the wolf away from the prom.The she remembered the piece of meat she had bought.It was on the kitchen table.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Very quietly she slipped into the kitchen and came back with the meat.The wolf was still standing over the pram licking the baby’s face.She threw the meat into a corner under a tree well away from the pram.As the meat hit the ground the wolf looked round.It hesitated for a moment, then left for the meat and began to eat it.Mrs.Clarke stole to the pram and immediately picked up the baby and ran into the kitchen as fast as possible.She sank down into a chair, crying with relief.
Holding the baby to her in the kitchen, she telephoned the police.When the police arrived she told them what had happened, and took them to the kitchen window.The wolf was lying on the grass, still eating the meat.The police said they had sent for a man from the zoo and would arrive in a minute.Five minutes later, two men from the Dorford Zoo came with a net and a small cage.Before long the wolf was safely in the cage and taken away, the rest of the meat still in its mouth.
【解析】
【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了克拉克太太听到收音机里说一只母狼从多尔福德动物园逃了出来，把收音机关掉了，她想在孩子醒来之前做午饭。她把婴儿车推到花园里，把它放在一棵树下，避开阳光，然后走进厨房。几分钟后，她来到后门看看是否一切都好。一只大狗站在婴儿车旁看着婴儿。突然，她想到了收音机里的内容，这不是狗，而是一只狼，婴儿醒了，在小声哭泣，克拉克夫人想尖叫，但她知道那样做是不对的。最终她想起了自己买的那块肉。
