Yue-Sai Kan was born in China. In 1972, she moved to New York. When Kan was a child, she was told by her father that she should always aim to (力争) be the first because no one remembered the second. What her father said has been a driving inspiration over the years for her to become a bestselling author and a successful businesswoman.
Her new book Be a Pioneer, which is the tenth she has written and her first Chinese-language autobiography (自传), was produced after three years, inspired by her father’s words.
When writing an autobiography, the biggest challenge is not how to present one’s life, but to remember it. To help with reconstructing her story, Kan asked many friends and colleagues she made over the years to write down their memories of her from earlier times. So besides featuring Kan’s own words, the new book is also filled with those of her friends’s, which gives Kan a new understanding of herself — a woman who works hard, studies hard. and the most important thing is that she is a woman filled with a sense of responsibility.
“My helper Stephanie mentioned that I was worried because we were running out of money for the company. My housekeeper reminded me that before the start of one of my events she found that I had fainted (晕倒) in the bathroom. I was so tired that I was getting sick. They know more about me than myself,” Kan says.
“Writing a book is a good business to be in, not so much to make money but to grow the brain. I believe what I do will benefit the world. All the things I have done in Be a Pioneer — my successes and my failures — can be a good example to young people in particular. That’s the main reason why I wrote the book,” adds Kan.
4. What can we know about Kan’s book Be a Pioneer
A. It took her 10 years to finish.
B. It is full of her father’s words.
C. It was completed with her friends’ help.
D. It tops the tenth on the bestseller list.
5. What is Kan’s difficulty in writing her autobiography
A. Being short of money. B. Having no supporters.
C. Having to write it in Chinese. D. Remembering her past.
6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. To tell Kan is weak in health.
B. To show Kan is a worried woman.
C. To report the path of writing is difficult.
D. To state how Kan’s story was reconstructed.
7. What is Kan’s book Be a Pioneer aimed at
A. Setting an example. B. Earning money.
C. Making herself popular. D. Proving herself to her father.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章概括了Yue-Sai Kan的成长经历以及她的新书《成为先锋》的写作背景和主题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To help with reconstructing her story, Kan asked many friends and colleagues she made over the years to write down their memories of her from earlier times. So besides featuring Kan’s own words, the new book is also filled with those of her friends’s, which gives Kan a new understanding of herself(为了帮助重建她故事，Kan请她多年来结识的许多朋友和同事写下他们对她早年的回忆。因此，除了收录Kan自己的话外，这本新书还收录了她朋友们的话，这让Kan对自己有了新的认识)”可知，她的新书《成为先锋》是在她朋友的帮助下完成的。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据第三段中“When writing an autobiography, the biggest challenge is not how to present one’s life, but to remember it. To help with reconstructing her story, Kan asked many friends and colleagues she made over the years to write down their memories of her from earlier times.(在写自传时，最大的挑战不是如何呈现一个人的生活，而是如何回想起生活。为了帮助重建她的故事，Kan请她多年来结识的许多朋友和同事写下他们对她早年的回忆)”可知，Kan写自传时遇到的困难是回忆自己的过去。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Kan的话“My helper Stephanie mentioned that I was worried because we were running out of money for the company. My housekeeper reminded me that before the start of one of my events she found that I had fainted (晕倒) in the bathroom. I was so tired that I was getting sick. They know more about me than myself,(我的助手斯蒂芬妮提到因为我们的公司快没钱了，所以我很担心。我的管家让我想起，在一个活动开始前，她发现我晕倒在浴室里。我太累了，都快生病了。他们比我更了解我自己)”可知，第四段中讲述了朋友斯蒂芬妮和管家如何让Kan回忆起了过去的事情，是为了说明了Kan重建自己故事的过程。故选D项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Kan的话“All the things I have done in Be a Pioneer — my successes and my failures — can be a good example to young people in particular. That’s the main reason why I wrote the book (我在《成为先锋》中所做的一切——我的成功和失败——都可以成为年轻人的好榜样。这就是我写这本书的主要原因)”可知，Kan的书《成为先锋》是为了树立榜样。故选A项。

A lot of people find it difficult to do exercise regularly, even though they know it’s good for their physical and mental (身心上的) health. Yet keeping on a workout routine doesn’t necessarily go to the gym or run around your neighborhood. Gardening is a great example of a popular hobby that can be used as a workout.
Nashville resident Tom Adkinson, 72, is on board with the idea of gardening to stay fit. He has three gardens, which he uses primarily to grow tomatoes, sweet banana peppers and okra. Like traditional exercise, Adkinson does a lot of preparation before gardening, and then he spends hours watering and weeding (除草) all three gardens, involving bending and stretching, which he compares to performing garden yoga.
“It is wise of Adkinson to do so. Even though gardening may not appear difficult, using the body in new ways can make you hurt if you don’t warm up beforehand,” said Zeller, who teaches at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County in New Jersey.
Working in your garden just two hours a week could improve your mood. And the communal gardening, which is done by a number of people as a group in communities and schools, provides social benefits that can reduce stress and help fight against loneliness and even dementia according to studies.
“With all these benefits, gardening for fitness will be a trend (趋势) in the coming year,” announced Mandal, CEO of the fitness coaching app Future, “Our users at Future have already been asking their coaches to add gardening and landscaping activities into their routines because it’s easy to get and fit into their lifestyle.”
8. What do the underlined words “on board with” mean in paragraph 2
A. In support of. B. At the risk of.
C. Under the control of. D. In opposition to.
9. What did Zeller probably suggest doing before gardening
A. Having a good rest.
B. Getting enough water ready.
C. Doing warm-up exercise.
D. Preparing tools for weeding.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Tips for gardening.
B. The benefits of gardening.
C. The process of garden management.
D. The difference between personal and group gardening.
11. Which activity may be added to the app Future according to Mandal
A. Running. B. Yoga. C. Gardening. D. Walking.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了园艺是一个用来锻炼的好方式。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的内容，尤其最后一句“...which he compares to performing garden yoga.（他把这比作“做花园瑜伽”）”可知，Tom Adkinson赞同通过园艺来保持健康的想法。由此可知，划线词意思为“支持、赞同”与“In support of”一致。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“泽勒在新泽西州开普梅县罗格斯大学合作推广中心任教，他说:“尽管园艺看起来并不难，但如果你事先不热身，以新的方式使用身体可能会让你受伤。””可推断，泽勒建议在做园艺之前要先热身。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段内容可知，每周在花园里花两个小时可以改善心情，减轻压力，帮助对抗孤独甚至痴呆症。故第四段主要介绍做园艺的好处。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““With all these benefits, gardening for fitness will be a trend(趋势)in the coming year,” announced Mandal, CEO of the fitness coaching app Future, “Our users at Future have already been asking their coaches to add gardening and landscaping activities into their routines because it’s easy to get and fit into their lifestyle.”（健身指导应用Future的首席执行官曼达尔宣布:“有了这些好处，园艺健身将在明年成为一种趋势。我们Future的用户已经要求他们的教练将园艺和景观美化活动添加到他们的日常生活中，因为这很容易融入他们的生活方式。”）”可知，园艺可能会添加到应用程序Future中。故选C。

Finding a California condor in the wild would be the most unusual treat. perhaps even more unusual than finding a wolf in Yellowstone National Park. In fact, the wolf was what opened my eyes to the fact that humans could bring an animal back to the place where it had disappeared.
In 1987, there were only 27 California condors left, none of which were in the wild, only in captive breeding programs, It was those breeding programs that contributed to their population rise, enough that by 1991 some of them could be freed into the wild.
Still, the hope of seeing a California condor, which remains an endangered species, is very low, let alone getting a photo of one. California condor population dropped mostly due to human factors, such as poaching and living areas destruction-these are challenges California condors still face today.
Although this is just a bird’s-eye view of the challenges California condors face and there are many others, it is part of why the opportunity to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team and their partners helping their recovery is so special to me as a photographer. I am not only able to photograph the birds in their wild living areas, but also understand and record how difficult the work is of those people on the front lines of the protection.
I am grateful for the work of the team, and my hope is that California condor population will continue to rise allowing future generations an opportunity I never had when I first got here-to look to the sky and see one flying around.
12. What helped the increase of the California condor population in 1987
A. Rules for hunters. B. Captive breeding programs.
C. The improved natural environment. D. The enlargement of wild living areas.
13. What does the author say about taking photos of a California condor in the wild
A. It is difficult. B. It is easy. C. It is boring. D. It is dangerous.
14. What did the author do when working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team
A. He guided ways for them. B. He made records by photos.
C. He helped the birds to recover. D. He rebuilt the birds’ living areas.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. New Way, New Hope B. Wolves and California Condors
C. A Photo of a California Condor D. The California Condor’s Coming Back
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了圈养繁殖项目促进了加州秃鹰数量的增加，而作者通过与美国鱼类和野生动物管理局合作，从事拍摄秃鹰的工作。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1987, there were only 27 California condors left, none of which were in the wild, only in captive breeding programs, It was those breeding programs that contributed to their population rise, enough that by 1991 some of them could be freed into the wild.(1987年，只剩下27只加州秃鹰，没有一只是在野外的，只有圈养繁殖项目。正是这些繁殖项目促进了它们的数量增长，到1991年，其中一些秃鹰可以被释放到野外)”可知，圈养繁殖计划促成了1987年加州秃鹰数量的增加。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Still, the hope of seeing a California condor, which remains an endangered species, is very low, let alone getting a photo of one.(尽管如此，看到加州秃鹰的希望非常渺茫，更不用说给它拍照了)”可知，作者认为在野外拍摄加州秃鹰很难。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I am not only able to photograph the birds in their wild living areas, but also understand and record how difficult the work is of those people on the front lines of the protection.(我不仅能够拍摄野生栖息地的鸟类，还能够了解和记录那些在保护第一线的人的工作有多困难)”可知，作者通过照片做记录与美国鱼类和野生动物管理局团队合作。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I am grateful for the work of the team, and my hope is that California condor population will continue to rise allowing future generations an opportunity I never had when I first got here-to look to the sky and see one flying around.(我很感激这个团队的工作，我希望加州秃鹰的数量能继续增加，让后代有机会看到天空中飞来飞去，这是我刚到这里时从未有过的)”结合文章主要介绍了圈养繁殖项目促进了加州秃鹰数量的增加，而作者通过与美国鱼类和野生动物管理局合作，从事拍摄秃鹰的工作。可知，D选项“加州秃鹰回来了”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文属于议论文。文章主要讨论了随着生活成本的上升，越来越多的成年子女搬回家与父母同住，这一现象给父母带来的既有机遇也有挑战。
【16题详解】
根据前文“With the rising cost of living, a growing number of adult children are moving back in with their parents. While lots of parents will enjoy the chance to spend more time with their grown-up children, having them move back in can also cause some problems.(随着生活成本的上升，越来越多的成年子女搬回家与父母同住。虽然很多父母会喜欢有机会花更多的时间和他们成年的孩子在一起，但让他们搬回来也会带来一些问题)”结合后文内容可知，后文讲述了父母和成年的孩子住在一起，应该怎么做，所以空处应是引出本文主题，A项“父母应该怎么做”承接上文，引出本文主题，符合文意。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据本文小标题“Sit down and talk(坐下来谈谈)”可知，本段主题是父母应该和孩子谈谈，所以E项“You’d better set a proper time for a family meeting(你最好定一个适当的时间开家庭会议)”符合本段主题，找时间让父母和孩子坐下来谈谈，并引出后文“Talk with your kids. Parents need to find out: How are they What would they like to happen in their life (和你的孩子谈谈。父母需要弄清楚:他们怎么样 他们希望在自己的生活中发生什么 )”。故选E项。
【18题详解】
分析设空，为本段小标题，根据后文“When things get heated, it can be easy to just storm off and not really hear each other out. But every effort needs to be made, on both sides, to properly listen. “As parents, you need a cool head,” suggests Landy. “Bring the conversation back to the matter at hand, and listen to your kids.”(当事情变得激烈时，很容易不理智，而不是真正倾听对方的意见。但双方都需要尽一切努力，适当地倾听。“作为父母，你需要一个冷静的头脑，”兰迪建议。“把谈话带回到手头的事情上，听听孩子们的意见。”)”可知，本段落的主题是“坐下来谈话”，而父母需要听听孩子们的意见。因此，C选项“Be prepared to listen patiently(准备好耐心倾听)”是符合该段落主题的，其中listen为同词复现。故选C项。
19题详解】
根据前文“At the moment, it feels as if no boundaries will lead to a sense of anger on your part. Consider what your boundaries look like.(此刻，感觉好像没有界限会让你感到愤怒。想想你的界限是什么样的)”以及后文“It’s important to check in with your kids on how things are going.(和你的孩子一起了解事情的进展是很重要的)”可知，F项“Work together to set basic rules and a timeline to be reviewed(一起商定基本原则并确定规则的修改期限)”承接上文，并引出下文，说明具体的做法。符合文意。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Landy suggests parents ask themselves what they need to feel happy and safe in their home—and the answer might be a difficult one to come to terms with. “It might mean that you need to ask your kids to leave,” she says.(兰迪建议父母们问问自己，他们需要什么才能在家里感到快乐和安全——答案可能很难接受。“这可能意味着你需要让你的孩子离开，”她说)”可知，G项“If you fear your kids get homeless, then address these fears directly(如果你担心你的孩子无家可归，那就直接解决这些恐惧)”是对前文的总结，其中担心你的孩子无家可归指的就是前文提到的需要让你的孩子离开，符合文意。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是友谊的重要性和如何应对失去的友谊。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：每个人都需要一份亲密的友谊，它能在生活中的顺境和逆境中给予我们支持。空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词friendship是物，因此空格处用关系代词which/that，故填which/that。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：朋友让我们远离孤独，给我们安全感，当事情不像我们想的那样结束时，他们会帮助我们。provide sb. with sth.是固定短语，意为“给某人提供某物”，因此空格处用介词with，故填with。
【38题详解】
考查动名词。句意：朋友让我们远离孤独，给我们安全感，当事情不像我们想的那样结束时，他们会帮助我们。end up doing是固定短语，意为“最终做某事”，因此空格处用动名词going。故填going。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：不幸的是，有时友谊既是快乐的源泉，也是痛苦的源泉。空格处用副词作状语，修饰整句话，unlucky的副词是unluckily，意为“不幸的是”，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Unluckily。
【40题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：就像任何关系一样，如果友谊的基础信任被任何一个朋友破坏了，我们会感到悲伤。if引导的是条件状语从句，描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，由by可知，句子用被动语态，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语trust是不可数名词，因此空格处是is broken。故填is broken。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：例如，如果你曾经告诉过一个亲密的朋友你的秘密，但他让别人知道了这个秘密，你可能会首先对友谊失去信任。first feeling意为“第一感觉”，此处表示泛指，前面要加不定冠词，first是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：当经历失去友谊的悲伤或孤独时，你可以走出去，活跃起来，这有助于你把注意力从失去的友谊中移开，或者你可以多关注自己。空格处用名词作宾语，sad的名词是sadness，意为“悲伤”，是不可数名词，故填sadness。
【43题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：当经历失去友谊的悲伤或孤独时，你可以走出去，活跃起来，这有助于你把注意力从失去的友谊中移开，或者你可以多关注自己。根据语境可知，此处表示“你可以多关注自己”，空格处意为“你自己”，用反身代词yourself，故填yourself。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：永远记住，牢固的友谊需要诚实和信任。空格处是句子是祈使句，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语friendship是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填requires。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意：即使你被你的朋友伤害了，忘记它，重新开始你的新生活也是明智的。it is wise of sb. to do是固定句型，意为“某人做某事是明智的”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，因此空格处是不定式to forget。故填to forget。

Yue-Sai Kan was born in China. In 1972 she moved to New York. When Kan was a child, she was told by her father that she should always aim to (力争) be the first because no one remembered the second. What her father said has been a driving inspiration over the years for her to become a bestselling author and a successful businesswoman.
Her new book Be a Pioneer, which is the tenth she has written and her first Chinese-language autobiography (自传), was produced after three years, inspired by her father’s words.
When writing an autobiography, the biggest challenge is not how to present one’s life, but to remember it. To help with reconstructing her story, Kan asked many friends and colleagues she made over the years to write down their memories of her from earlier times. So besides featuring Kan’s own words, the new book is also filled with those of her friends’s, which gives Kan a new understanding of herself — a woman who works hard, studies hard. and the most important thing is that she is a woman filled with a sense of responsibility.
“My helper Stephanie mentioned that I was worried because we were running out of money for the company. My housekeeper reminded me that before the start of one of my events she found that I had fainted (晕倒) in the bathroom. I was so tired that I was getting sick. They know more about me than myself,” Kan says.
“Writing a book is a good business to be in, not so much to make money but to grow the brain. I believe what I do will benefit the world. All the things I have done in Be a Pioneer — my successes and my failures — can be a good example to young people in particular. That’s the main reason why I wrote the book,” adds Kan.
4 What can we know about Kan’s book Be a Pioneer
A. It took her 10 years to finish.
B. It is full of her father’s words.
C. It was completed with her friends’ help.
D. It tops the tenth on the bestseller list.
5. What is Kan’s difficulty in writing her autobiography
A. Being short of money. B. Having no supporters.
C. Having to write it in Chinese. D. Remembering her past.
6. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4
A. To tell Kan is weak in health.
B. To show Kan is a worried woman.
C. To report the path of writing is difficult.
D. To state how Kan’s story was reconstructed.
7. What is Kan’s book Be a Pioneer aimed at
A. Setting an example. B. Earning money.
C. Making herself popular. D. Proving herself to her father.
C
A lot of people find it difficult to do exercise regularly, even though they know it’s good for their physical and mental (身心上的) health. Yet keeping on a workout routine doesn’t necessarily go to the gym or run around your neighborhood. Gardening is a great example of a popular hobby that can be used as a workout.
Nashville resident Tom Adkinson, 72, is on board with the idea of gardening to stay fit. He has three gardens, which he uses primarily to grow tomatoes, sweet banana peppers and okra. Like traditional exercise, Adkinson does a lot of preparation before gardening, and then he spends hours watering and weeding (除草) all three gardens, involving bending and stretching, which he compares to performing garden yoga.
“It is wise of Adkinson to do so. Even though gardening may not appear difficult, using the body in new ways can make you hurt if you don’t warm up beforehand,” said Zeller, who teaches at the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County in New Jersey.

Finding a California condor in the wild would be the most unusual treat. perhaps even more unusual than finding a wolf in Yellowstone National Park. In fact, the wolf was what opened my eyes to the fact that humans could bring an animal back to the place where it had disappeared.
In 1987, there were only 27 California condors left, none of which were in the wild, only in captive breeding programs, It was those breeding programs that contributed to their population rise, enough that by 1991 some of them could be freed into the wild.
Still, the hope of seeing a California condor, which remains an endangered species, is very low, let alone getting a photo of one. California condor population dropped mostly due to human factors, such as poaching and living areas destruction-these are challenges California condors still face today.
Although this is just a bird’s-eye view of the challenges California condors face and there are many others, it is part of why the opportunity to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team and their partners helping their recovery is so special to me as a photographer. I am not only able to photograph the birds in their wild living areas, but also understand and record how difficult the work is of those people on the front lines of the protection.
I am grateful for the work of the team, and my hope is that California condor population will continue to rise allowing future generations an opportunity I never had when I first got here-to look to the sky and see one flying around.
12. What helped the increase of the California condor population in 1987
A. Rules for hunters. B. Captive breeding programs.
C. The improved natural environment. D. The enlargement of wild living areas.
13. What does the author say about taking photos of a California condor in the wild
A. It is difficult. B. It is easy. C. It is boring. D. It is dangerous.
14. What did the author do when working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team
A. He guided ways for them. B. He made records by photos.
C. He helped the birds to recover. D. He rebuilt the birds’ living areas.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. New Way, New Hope B. Wolves and California Condors
C. A Photo of a California Condor D. The California Condor’s Coming Back
