Many have had the same thought as Shannon St. Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weather forecast—that they have time to finish their jobs. As the director of finance at the First Nations University of Canada, she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting.
As she was leaving, the winter snow began to fall. Taking a dirt road for better traction (牵引) on her tires, she quickly became lost, with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window. After a while she stopped and called 911.
“The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm. I waited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in,” she wrote in a Face-book post.
“Would the gas tank last until morning What if I was hit by another vehicle What if I didn’t make it home at all ” St. Onge wondered.
Determined to ensure the safest end, she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign, and then found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing through—warning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin.
That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr., a retired rescuer, got a call about St. Onge’s situation. He went out to find her, on foot, since he couldn’t manage to start his tractor.
On the way he found three other stranded (被困) vehicles. He walked the quarter mile there and back, and led the helpless cars one by one to his home. Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house, where they ate and laughed, and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.
4. Why did St. Onge take a dirt road
A. She was familiar with it. B. She could refuel on the road.
C. She took the dirt road to save time. D. She thought dirt road could increase traction.
5. What did the operator advise St. Onge to do
A. Wait out the storm. B. Find a warm place.
C. Ask Bouvier for help. D. Write her condition in a Facebook post.
6. What does the underlined word “plight” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Wrong turn. B. Poor sense of direction.
C. Difficult situation. D. Bad weather.
7. Which of the following can best describe Bouvier
A. Patient and gifted. B. Brave and selfless.
C. Proud and determined. D. Adventurous and ambitious.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一名80岁的老人徒步穿过暴风雪营救人的感人故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Taking a dirt road for better traction (牵引) on her tires, she quickly became lost, with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window.(为了提高轮胎的牵引力，她走上了一条土路，很快就迷路了，摇下的车窗外看不到路的边缘)”可知，St. Onge选择土路是为了增加车子的牵引力。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm.(接线员记下了我的信息，告诉我等待暴风雪过去，因为我的油箱还满着，我也还很暖和)”可知，接线员建议St. Onge等待暴风雪过去。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“After a while she stopped and called 911.(过了一会儿，她停下来打了911)”及第四段St. Onge的担心“Would the gas tank last until morning What if I was hit by another vehicle What if I didn't make it home at all (油箱能撑到早上吗？如果我被另一辆车撞了怎么办？如果我根本回不了家呢？)”可知，她遇到了麻烦，被困在了路上，由此可推知，划线词plight的含义是“困境”。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr., a retired rescuer, got a call about St. Onge’s situation. He went out to find her, on foot, since he couldn’t manage to start his tractor.(就在那时，80岁的退休救援人员Andre Bouvier Sr.接到了St. Onge救援情况的电话。他步行出去找她，因为他无法启动拖拉机)”可知，80岁的Andre Bouvier Sr.接到电话还毅然去救援，说明他是勇敢的；根据最后一段最后一句“Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house, where they ate and laughed, and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.(Bouvier让幸存者们睡在他的房子里，他们在那里吃喝谈笑，第二天早上Bouvier打扫了车道后他们就离开了)”可知，他是无私的。故选B。
C
Could the secret to a good night’s sleep be a pencil and paper Researchers at Baylor University published a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology that claims writing a to-do list helps people get to sleep faster.
“There are two schools of thought about this,” The lead researcher, Scullin said. “One is that writing about the future would lead to increased worry about unfinished tasks and delay sleep, while writing about completed activities would not trigger worry. The alternative hypothesis(假设) is that writing a to-do list will offload those thoughts and reduce worry. ”
To test the hypotheses, researchers invited 57 men and women between ages 18 and 30 to spend one weeknight in a controlled sleep lab and they were divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Five minutes before bedtime, each participant was instructed to complete a short writing exercise. The first group wrote about anything they needed to remember to do in the upcoming days, while the other wrote about tasks they had completed during the previous days. When the exercise was done, participants went to bed.
Researchers measured each participant’s brain activity overnight using a technique called polysomnography (睡眠多项生理检查), which records eye movement, muscle activity and other biological changes.
The researchers found that the participants who wrote to-do lists fell asleep an average of 9 minutes faster than those who wrote about already-accomplished tasks. While 9 minutes may not seem like a lot of extra shut-eye, it’s comparable to the improvement seen in clinical trials for some sleep medications, Scullin told Time magazine.
Scullin noted that while the sample size was appropriate for an experimental, laboratory-based polysomnography study, a larger future study would be of value. “Measures of personality, anxiety, and depression might moderate the effects of writing on falling asleep, and that could be explored in an investigation with a larger sample, ” he said. “We recruited healthy young adults, and so we don’t know whether our findings would generalize to patients with sleeplessness, though some writing activities have previously been suggested to benefit such patients. ”
8. What does the word “trigger” in Paragraph Two mean
A. Reduce. B. Rid. C. Control. D. Cause.
9. What’s the difference between the experimental group and the control group
A. The content of their writing exercises.
B. The age and gender of the participants.
C. The sleeping hours of the participants.
D. The measuring method of brain activity.
10. What can we know about the effect brought by writing a to-do list before bed
A. It shows no improvement.
B. It makes falling asleep harder.
C. It is similar to taking sleep medications.
D. It helps to lengthen the sleeping hours.
11. What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph
A. To analyze the cause of the experiment.
B. To state the limitation of the experiment.
C. To show the significance of the experiment.
D. To criticize the drawback of the experiment.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。一项研究表明，写待办事项清单有助于人们快速入睡，本文介绍了这项实验研究，并说明了其实验结果和局限性。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“One is that writing about the future would lead to increased worry about unfinished tasks and delay sleep, while writing about completed activities would not trigger worry.(一种是，写关于未来的事情会增加对未完成任务的担忧，并推迟睡眠时间，而写已经完成的事情不会trigger担忧。)”可以推测，写已经完成的事情不会像写关于未来的事情那样会导致对未完成任务的担忧，因此，trigger与cause同义，表示“导致、引发”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The first group wrote about anything they needed to remember to do in the upcoming days, while the other wrote about tasks they had completed during the previous days.(第一组写下未来几天需要记住的事情，而另一组写下前几天完成的任务。)”可知，实验组和对照组在他们写作练习的内容方面不一致。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers found that the participants who wrote to-do lists fell asleep an average of 9 minutes faster than those who wrote about already-accomplished tasks.While 9 minutes may not seem like a lot of extra shut-eye, it’s comparable to the improvement seen in clinical trials for some sleep medications, Scullin told Time magazine.(研究人员发现，写任务清单的参与者比写已经完成任务的参与者平均快9分钟入睡。斯卡林在接受《时代》杂志采访时表示，虽然9分钟的睡眠时间似乎并不多，但它与一些睡眠药物的临床试验中看到的改善效果相当。)”可知，睡前写待办事项清单的影响类似于服用安眠药物的效果。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Measures of personality, anxiety, and depression might moderate the effects of writing on falling asleep, and that could be explored in an investigation with a larger sample(对性格、焦虑和抑郁的测量可能会缓和写作对入睡的影响，这可以通过更大的样本进行调查来探索)”及“We recruited healthy young adults, and so we don’t know whether our findings would generalize to patients with sleeplessness(我们招募了健康的年轻人，所以我们不知道我们的发现是否适用于失眠患者)”可知，文章最后一段描述了实验中部分要素的影响，因此，需要更大的样本来进行调查探索，因此，文章最后一段旨在告诉我们实验的局限性。故选B项。
D
The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12,2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.
But the ash didn’t stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks (砖) a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.
“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let’s transform this into opportunity.”
The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.
12. What can be learned about Taal Volcano
A. It attracts more and more settlers. B. It becomes inactive.
C. It is covered with ash completely. D. It causes damage to the locals.
13. What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila
A. To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B. To save sacks for factories to use.
C. To set up a factory for making bricks. D. To build communities for people from disasters.
14. Which can best describe Dimaguila’s plan
A. Creative but expensive. B. Environmentally and economically.
C. Helpful but challenging. D. Interesting and practical.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Taal Lake is in danger. B. Taal Volcano is popular.
C. Disasters hits Philippines. D. People turn ash into treasure.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was quiet for years until January 12,2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home. (直到2020年1月12日火山爆发之前，这里一直很安静。从那时起，火山周围的城市被火山灰覆盖，许多人被迫离开家园。)”可知，塔尔火山对当地人造成损害。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks(麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks(砖) a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities. (Binan市长Walfredo Dimaguila命令该市居民收集灰烬，并将其装入麻袋，运往每天可生产5000块砖的国有工厂，将其变成砖，用于重建受损社区。)”可知，Walfredo Dimaguila建议人们收集火山灰进行循环利用。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth (当巴丹加斯(塔尔所在的地区)恢复时，这些砖块不仅可以用来建造学校、社区会堂和生计中心，还可以帮助处理地球的灰烬污染。)”可知，Dimaguila的计划既环保又经济。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks(麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks(砖) a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Susan wasn’t doing well enough at school before, or at least she wasn’t confident about herself. She wished she could do better here in her new school.
“Who would like to present your understanding of the poem ” Mr. Lee, the literature teacher, looked around the classroom. Susan lowered her head to avoid the teacher’s eyes. She was afraid to be laughed at if she made a mistake.
“Kara ” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Susan raised her head a bit. Of course Kara got the answer right again. Everyone clapped their hands, and Susan gave a quick look at Kara with admiration. Kara noticed her and gave back her a smile. Susan felt warm.
Soon, sadness filled Susan’s heart again. She hadn’t made any friends of her own so far. She felt so lonely that she really hoped someone like Kara would come up and call her a friend. Also, how she wished she were Kara, who was the most popular girl in school-always surrounded by several boyfriends, best friends and others. Kara was like shining sunshine.
Then, still in the class, some old memories crossed Susan’s mind. Growing up on a farm near a big forest, Susan lived every day to the fullest on the farm with Grandpa, fishing in the river, setting a camp fire, climbing the tallest trees and making friends with the lovely creatures in the forest. Grandpa would hug her and call her “my sunshine”. The old man was always proud of his little girl and Susan was sure she was the queen of the forest. She smiled at all her thoughts.
Literature class finally ended, and all the students headed for the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Kara, of course, was the best player. Beside her, Susan felt like very small and awkward. Today, however, the gym teacher led the students to a big tree in the yard and said, “Everyone! You’re going to climb this tree today. Just try your best.” Hearing the teacher’s words, Susan lit up.
Many of the classmates tried but failed, including Kara. Then came her turn.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Susan stepped forward and got close to the tree. She appeared calm but was extremely excited. She climbed the tree very fast and reached the tree top within what seemed a few seconds, effortlessly. As she reached the top, she glanced down at her fellow students below. After she came down from the tree, the students all cheered for her. The students all asked her the reason why she was so skilled at climbing the tree. Susan told them her story in the forest.
Paragraph 2:
With everyone cheering for her skillful climb and interesting stories, Kara came up. Kara looked at Susan, eyes wide with admiration. Kara hugged Susan, telling her that she was very smart and energetic. Kara expressed her wish to be a friend of her. Susan nodded her head, agreeing to make friends with Kara. Everybody cheered. Susan knew she would be different from that day on. She gained great confidence, which inspired her to actively participate and move towards success!

Many have had the same thought as Shannon St. Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weather forecast—that they have time to finish their jobs. As the director of finance at the First Nations University of Canada, she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting.
As she was leaving, the winter snow began to fall. Taking a dirt road for better traction (牵引) on her tires, she quickly became lost, with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window. After a while she stopped and called 911.
“The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm. I waited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in,” she wrote in a Face-book post.
“Would the gas tank last until morning What if I was hit by another vehicle What if I didn’t make it home at all ” St. Onge wondered.
Determined to ensure the safest end, she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign, and then found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing through—warning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin.
That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr., a retired rescuer, got a call about St. Onge’s situation. He went out to find her, on foot, since he couldn’t manage to start his tractor.
On the way he found three other stranded (被困) vehicles. He walked the quarter mile there and back, and led the helpless cars one by one to his home. Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house, where they ate and laughed, and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.
4 Why did St. Onge take a dirt road
A. She was familiar with it. B. She could refuel on the road.
C. She took the dirt road to save time. D. She thought dirt road could increase traction.
5 What did the operator advise St. Onge to do
A. Wait out the storm. B. Find a warm place.
C. Ask Bouvier for help. D. Write her condition in a Facebook post.
6. What does the underlined word “plight” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Wrong turn. B. Poor sense of direction.
C. Difficult situation. D. Bad weather.
7. Which of the following can best describe Bouvier
A. Patient and gifted. B. Brave and selfless.
C. Proud and determined. D. Adventurous and ambitious.
C
Could the secret to a good night’s sleep be a pencil and paper Researchers at Baylor University published a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology that claims writing a to-do list helps people get to sleep faster.
“There are two schools of thought about this,” The lead researcher, Scullin said. “One is that writing about the future would lead to increased worry about unfinished tasks and delay sleep, while writing about completed activities would not trigger worry. The alternative hypothesis(假设) is that writing a to-do list will offload those thoughts and reduce worry. ”
To test the hypotheses, researchers invited 57 men and women between ages 18 and 30 to spend one weeknight in a controlled sleep lab and they were divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Five minutes before bedtime, each participant was instructed to complete a short writing exercise. The first group wrote about anything they needed to remember to do in the upcoming days, while the other wrote about tasks they had completed during the previous days. When the exercise was done, participants went to bed.
Researchers measured each participant’s brain activity overnight using a technique called polysomnography (睡眠多项生理检查), which records eye movement, muscle activity and other biological changes.
The researchers found that the participants who wrote to-do lists fell asleep an average of 9 minutes faster than those who wrote about already-accomplished tasks. While 9 minutes may not seem like a lot of extra shut-eye, it’s comparable to the improvement seen in clinical trials for some sleep medications, Scullin told Time magazine.
Scullin noted that while the sample size was appropriate for an experimental, laboratory-based polysomnography study, a larger future study would be of value. “Measures of personality, anxiety, and depression might moderate the effects of writing on falling asleep, and that could be explored in an investigation with a larger sample, ” he said. “We recruited healthy young adults, and so we don’t know whether our findings would generalize to patients with sleeplessness, though some writing activities have previously been suggested to benefit such patients. ”
8. What does the word “trigger” in Paragraph Two mean
A. Reduce. B. Rid. C. Control. D. Cause.
9. What’s the difference between the experimental group and the control group
A The content of their writing exercises.
B. The age and gender of the participants.
C. The sleeping hours of the participants.
D. The measuring method of brain activity.
10. What can we know about the effect brought by writing a to-do list before bed
A. It shows no improvement.
B. It makes falling asleep harder.
C. It is similar to taking sleep medications.
D. It helps to lengthen the sleeping hours.
11. What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph
A. To analyze the cause of the experiment.
B. To state the limitation of the experiment.
C. To show the significance of the experiment.
D. To criticize the drawback of the experiment.
D
The area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12,2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.
But the ash didn’t stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks (砖) a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.
“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let’s transform this into opportunity.”
The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.
12. What can be learned about Taal Volcano
A. It attracts more and more settlers. B. It becomes inactive.
C. It is covered with ash completely. D. It causes damage to the locals.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Susan wasn’t doing well enough at school before, or at least she wasn’t confident about herself. She wished she could do better here in her new school.
“Who would like to present your understanding of the poem ” Mr. Lee, the literature teacher, looked around the classroom. Susan lowered her head to avoid the teacher’s eyes. She was afraid to be laughed at if she made a mistake.
“Kara ” the teacher asked instead. Oh, perfect, Susan raised her head a bit. Of course Kara got the answer right again. Everyone clapped their hands, and Susan gave a quick look at Kara with admiration. Kara noticed her and gave back her a smile. Susan felt warm.
Soon, sadness filled Susan’s heart again. She hadn’t made any friends of her own so far. She felt so lonely that she really hoped someone like Kara would come up and call her a friend. Also, how she wished she were Kara, who was the most popular girl in school-always surrounded by several boyfriends, best friends and others. Kara was like shining sunshine.
Then, still in the class, some old memories crossed Susan’s mind. Growing up on a farm near a big forest, Susan lived every day to the fullest on the farm with Grandpa, fishing in the river, setting a camp fire, climbing the tallest trees and making friends with the lovely creatures in the forest. Grandpa would hug her and call her “my sunshine”. The old man was always proud of his little girl and Susan was sure she was the queen of the forest. She smiled at all her thoughts.
Literature class finally ended, and all the students headed for the gym. The class had been playing basketball. Kara, of course, was the best player. Beside her, Susan felt like very small and awkward. Today, however, the gym teacher led the students to a big tree in the yard and said, “Everyone! You’re going to climb this tree today. Just try your best.” Hearing the teacher’s words, Susan lit up.
Many of the classmates tried but failed, including Kara. Then came her turn.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
Susan stepped forward and got close to the tree.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
With everyone cheering for her skillful climb and interesting stories, Kara came up.
