B(字数331)
The photographs that Scilla took as a 16-year-old girl on the streets of London in 1955 stayed largely in her album (相册) over the years. Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.
Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories.
Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.
Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.
Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.”
4. What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year
A. He taught her how to use a camera.
B. He took her to visit London streets.
C. He found a new way to treat her disease.
D. He recreated photos of London she had taken.
5. What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla
A. It inspired her to take photos. B. It made her think of her teenage days.
C. It encouraged her to travel across London. D. It raised her confidence to fight off illness.
6. What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Troubled. B. Interested. C. Experienced. D. Disappointed.
7. What is the best title of this passage
A. A teenager sensed the great changes of London.
B. An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease.
C. A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun.
D. A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。16岁的Philip Loveday为患有阿尔茨海默氏症的祖母Scilla重新拍摄伦敦街头的照片，唤醒了她少年时的记忆。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures.(在过去的一年里，16岁的Philip Loveday一直在首都重访祖母走过的路，仔细地重新拍摄这些照片)”和第三段中的“Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages.(Philip拍了一些新照片，看起来就像很久以前的那些，然后把它们放进了一本新相册里。Scilla的旧相册的每一页都被复制并放进新的相册里，菲利普的新照片在相反的两页上)”可知，过去一年，Philip去他外婆当年在伦敦拍过照的地方重新拍照，来更新她的相册。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.(Philip的母亲Catherine Loveday说，Scilla对新专辑很满意，这张专辑让她回到了十几岁的时候)”可知，Philip的母亲说，看到外孙的作品后Scilla非常喜悦，想起了自己的少女时代。故选B。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下划线所在句及下文“how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.(……现代伦敦与祖母拍摄的城市的对比，Philip和他的妈妈开始到伦敦市中心旅行。在旅途中，他们有了重新拍摄照片的想法)”可知，Philip和他妈妈去伦敦市中心旅行是为了对比一下伦敦的现在与过去，拍摄了很多照片。说明他对伦敦过去的样子非常感兴趣。absorbed意为“感兴趣的”，故选B。
7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.(Scilla现在已经83岁了，她自己冲洗的黑白照片被一名十几岁的摄影师发现后，又重新焕发了生机)”以及第二、三段内容可知，Philip的祖母得了阿尔茨海默病，他去外婆16岁时拍过照的地方重拍照片，并做成相册送给她以唤起她的记忆。D项“一名少年的照片帮助他恢复了祖母的记忆”为最佳标题，故选D。
C(字数333)
My kitchen may be the best kitchen on the planet. That is because when I look out of its window can see the west side of Grandeur Peak. Grandeur Peak is one of the most attractive mountains in central Wasatch, with its animals, trees, morning clouds, evening sunset, and the mountain’s paragliders (滑翔伞运动员).
The number of paragliders flying above Grandeur Peak has grown over the past 15 years, so much so that they have become part of the mountain. But during the past year they have largely disappeared. Some paragliders told me that the wind became too strong to fly in. The wind is too strong! Is this another character of our changing climate (气候) Will paragliding be a sport affected by a warming planet Utah has been much windier in the past few years. For me, a scientist who studies living things, it is easy to believe that our future will be windier. This year it’s getting super-hot, and the planet is warming faster than scientists expected. I can’t help but worry that the future of paragliding in Utah is not bright.
I’m writing to the brave people who fly from Grandeur Peak with beautiful wings. I want you to join Clean The Dam Air, a group that’ s working hard to fight climate change and air pollution — I’m part of it too. We are introducing a measure, which aims to remove the state sales tax (税) on grocery store food and put a carbon tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in its place: gas, electricity produced from fossil fuels, and natural gas. The goal isn’t to make taxes higher. The idea is to encourage everyone to reduce their use of fossil fuels. So, paragliders, join us. Now is the time to take care of our planet. If we succeed, then Utah can be an example to others in fighting climate change.
8. Why does the author mention his kitchen
A. To share his love of cooking dishes.
B. To bring back his memories of paragliding.
C. To introduce Grandeur Peak’s paragliding.
D. To describe his adventures around Grandeur Peak.
9. What happened in the past year
A. The author saw less paragliding. B. Few people visited Grandeur Peak.
C. Air pollution became serious in Utah. D. Strong winds stopped people going outside.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of paragliding in Utah
A. Uncaring. B. Supportive. C. Positive. D. Worried.
11. What did the author call on paragliders to do
A. Buy those foods that are taxed less.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。作者在第一段“My kitchen may be the best kitchen on the planet. That is because when I look out of its window can see the west side of Grandeur Peak. Grandeur Peak is one of the most attractive mountains in central Wasatch, with its animals, trees, morning clouds, evening sunset, and the mountain’s paraglides.(我的厨房可能是世界上最好的厨房。那是因为当我向窗外望去时，可以看到宏伟峰的西侧。宏伟的山峰是瓦萨奇中部最具吸引力的山脉之一，它的动物，树木，早晨的云，傍晚的日落，和山上的滑翔伞)”中描述了自己厨房窗外的美景，并在最后提到可以看到山上的滑翔伞。根据第二段中“The number of paragliders flying above Grandeur Peak has grown over the past 15 years, so much so that they have become part of the mountain.But during the past year they have largely disappeared. (在过去的15年里，在君爵峰上空飞行的滑翔伞的数量有所增加，以至于它们已经成为了这座山的一部分。但在过去的一年里，它们基本上消失了)”和下文内容可知，作者在文中讨论了气候变化对滑翔伞运动的影响。由此推知，作者在第一段中用厨房窗外的景致作铺垫，其目的是为了引出君爵峰的滑翔伞，进而带出下文的话题。故选C项。
【9题详解】

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This year it’s getting super-hot, and the planet is warming faster than scientists expected. I can’t help but worry that the future of paragliding in Utah is not bright.(今年变得超级热，地球变暖的速度比科学家预期的要快。我不禁担心犹他州滑翔伞运动的未来并不光明)”可知，由于气候变化影响，作者觉得犹他州滑翔伞运动的前景并不光明，感到担忧。故选D项。

Now is the time to take care of our planet.(我们正在引入一项措施，旨在取消杂货店食品的州销售税，并对化石燃料征收碳税：汽油、化石燃料和和天然气产生的电力。我们的目标不是提高税收。这个想法是为了鼓励每个人减少使用化石燃料。所以，滑翔伞爱好者们，加入我们吧。现在是时候保护我们的星球了)”可知，作者呼吁滑翔伞运动员和他一起支持一项关于征税的计划。故选C项。
D(字数367)
Hang your tongue out of your mouth while your eyes look upwards Breathe loudly and use your hands to pull your head in every way. This is yoga (瑜伽) for your face.
Fumiko Takatsu, creator of the Face Yoga Method, has written six books on face yoga and has been practicing facial exercises for about 15 years. Takatsu, 50, said she came up with the idea of facial exercises after a car accident when she was 35 years old, which left her face out of its proper position. Around the same time, Takatsu said she began to notice signs of aging, but gave up using creams and beauty treatments after they became too expensive.
Koko Hayashi, 39, a face yoga instructor in Los Angeles, said she first heard of face yoga by discovering Takatsu’s work. Hayashi said she had a chin implant (下巴植入体) when she was 27 years old, but took it out because it misshaped her face. “That’s why I’m so interested in more natural beauty instead of plastic surgery (整形手术),” Hayashi said. Like others who practice facial exercises, Hayashi believes it can fix signs of aging and help reduce wrinkles (皱纹).
The question that often pops up when someone mentions face yoga is, “Does it actually work ” A study out of Northwestern University found that the exercises may help middle-aged women.
“This is a pilot study that suggests that there might be some factors of face exercise that can be helpful to at least certain patients in improving certain signs of aging,” said Dr. Murad Alam from Northwestern University.” But we need more studies to better understand exactly how much exercise is necessary to have any benefit, whether it works for men and women of different ages, and then how much exercise is needed to keep that benefit.”
Medical reporter Dr. Jennifer Ashton said that she is not sure whether face yoga works and that any benefits are most likely going to be up to the person trying it. “If you feel better after trying face yoga, it may be something you should keep doing,” she said.
12. What made Takatsu decide to create the Face Yoga Method
A. An unexpected car accident. B. Great interest in doing yoga.
C. Unaffordable beauty treatments. D. Unsatisfactory effects of creams.
13. What do we know about Hayashi
A. She wrote a book about face yoga. B. She followed in Takatsu’s footsteps.
C. She had a plastic surgery two years ago. D. She had always admired natural beauty.
14. What can be inferred from Alam’s words
A. The study is helpful but more research is needed.
B. Face yoga is more suitable for women than men.
C. Face yoga needs much too exercise to bring benefits.
D. The study is well-designed but the findings are worthless.
15. What does Ashton think of face yoga
A. Its key point is keeping exercising.
B. It can stop all kinds of signs of aging.
C. Its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
D. Its effectiveness depends on personal feelings.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Koko Takatsu创立的面部瑜伽法及其影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Takatsu, 50, said she came up with the idea of facial exercises after a car accident when she was 35 years old, which left her face out of its proper position.(50岁的Takatsu说，她35岁时发生了一场车祸，导致她的脸失去了正确的位置，之后她萌生了面部运动的想法)”可知，Takatsu在35岁的时候遭遇了一场车祸，这使她萌生了进行面部锻炼的想法，随后便创造了面部瑜伽方法。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“Koko Hayashi, 39, a face yoga instructor in Los Angeles, said she first heard of face yoga by discovering Takatsu’s work.(39岁的Koko Hayashi是洛杉矶的一名面部瑜伽教练，她说自己是在发现Takatsu的作品时第一次听说面部瑜伽的)”以及“‘That’s why I’m so interested in more natural beauty instead of plastic surgery (整形手术),’ Hayashi said.(‘这就是为什么我对自然美如此感兴趣，而不是整形手术，’Hayashi说)”可知，Hayashi是一位面部瑜伽教练，在读到Takatsu的作品后了解到面部瑜伽，并开始崇尚自然美。由此可推知，Hayashi是效仿Takatsu开始练习和教授面部瑜伽的。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容“‘This is a pilot study that suggests that there might be some factors of face exercise that can be helpful to at least certain patients in improving certain signs of aging,’ said Dr. Murad Alam from Northwestern University. ‘But we need more studies to better understand exactly how much exercise is necessary to have any benefit, whether it works for men and women of different ages, and then how much exercise is needed to keep that benefit.’(西北大学的Murad Alam博士说：‘这是一项初步研究，表明面部运动可能有一些因素，至少对某些患者改善某些衰老迹象有帮助。但我们需要更多的研究来更好地了解到底需要多少运动才能产生任何益处，它是否适用于不同年龄的男性和女性，以及需要多少运动才能保持这种益处。’)”可知，Alam指出，尽管他们的研究表明面部锻炼可能对某些患者有帮助，但是仍需更多的研究来更好地了解面部瑜伽的益处，故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Medical reporter Dr. Jennifer Ashton said that she is not sure whether face yoga works and that any benefits are most likely going to be up to the person trying it.(医学记者Jennifer Ashton博士说，她不确定面部瑜伽是否有效，任何好处都很可能取决于尝试它的人)”可知，Ashton 认为，面部瑜伽是否有效最有可能取决于尝试者自己的个人感受。故选D。

Hello everyone, Today, I’d like to talk about responsible camping.
Camping is fun, but not everyone practices responsible camping. Some campers leave their trash behind. Some damage plants, disturb wildlife, and even leave their campfires unattended, posing risks to nature and other campers. We should say no to irresponsible camping behavior.
Please remember, “Leave nothing but happiness.” This means when we go camping, we should clean up after ourselves and respect the environment. This way, we can ensure that nature stays beautiful for everyone.
So, let’s camp with care and leave behind only positive memories. Thank you!

B(字数331)
The photographs that Scilla took as a 16-year-old girl on the streets of London in 1955 stayed largely in her album (相册) over the years. Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.
Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories.
Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.
Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.
Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.”
4. What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year
A. He taught her how to use a camera.
B. He took her to visit London streets.
C. He found a new way to treat her disease.
D. He recreated photos of London she had taken.
5. What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla
A. It inspired her to take photos. B. It made her think of her teenage days.
C. It encouraged her to travel across London. D. It raised her confidence to fight off illness.
6. What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Troubled. B. Interested. C. Experienced. D. Disappointed.
7. What is the best title of this passage
A. A teenager sensed the great changes of London.
B. An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease.
C. A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun.
D. A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory.
C(字数333)
My kitchen may be the best kitchen on the planet. That is because when I look out of its window can see the west side of Grandeur Peak. Grandeur Peak is one of the most attractive mountains in central Wasatch, with its animals, trees, morning clouds, evening sunset, and the mountain’s paragliders (滑翔伞运动员).
The number of paragliders flying above Grandeur Peak has grown over the past 15 years, so much so that they have become part of the mountain. But during the past year they have largely disappeared. Some paragliders told me that the wind became too strong to fly in. The wind is too strong! Is this another character of our changing climate (气候) Will paragliding be a sport affected by a warming planet Utah has been much windier in the past few years. For me, a scientist who studies living things, it is easy to believe that our future will be windier. This year it’s getting super-hot, and the planet is warming faster than scientists expected. I can’t help but worry that the future of paragliding in Utah is not bright.
I’m writing to the brave people who fly from Grandeur Peak with beautiful wings. I want you to join Clean The Dam Air, a group that’ s working hard to fight climate change and air pollution — I’m part of it too. We are introducing a measure, which aims to remove the state sales tax (税) on grocery store food and put a carbon tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in its place: gas, electricity produced from fossil fuels, and natural gas. The goal isn’t to make taxes higher. The idea is to encourage everyone to reduce their use of fossil fuels. So, paragliders, join us. Now is the time to take care of our planet. If we succeed, then Utah can be an example to others in fighting climate change.

9. What happened in the past year
A. The author saw less paragliding. B. Few people visited Grandeur Peak.
C. Air pollution became serious in Utah. D. Strong winds stopped people going outside.

Hang your tongue out of your mouth while your eyes look upwards. Breathe loudly and use your hands to pull your head in every way. This is yoga (瑜伽) for your face.
Fumiko Takatsu, creator of the Face Yoga Method, has written six books on face yoga and has been practicing facial exercises for about 15 years. Takatsu, 50, said she came up with the idea of facial exercises after a car accident when she was 35 years old, which left her face out of its proper position. Around the same time, Takatsu said she began to notice signs of aging, but gave up using creams and beauty treatments after they became too expensive.
Koko Hayashi, 39, a face yoga instructor in Los Angeles, said she first heard of face yoga by discovering Takatsu’s work. Hayashi said she had a chin implant (下巴植入体) when she was 27 years old, but took it out because it misshaped her face. “That’s why I’m so interested in more natural beauty instead of plastic surgery (整形手术),” Hayashi said. Like others who practice facial exercises, Hayashi believes it can fix signs of aging and help reduce wrinkles (皱纹).
The question that often pops up when someone mentions face yoga is, “Does it actually work ” A study out of Northwestern University found that the exercises may help middle-aged women.
“This is a pilot study that suggests that there might be some factors of face exercise that can be helpful to at least certain patients in improving certain signs of aging,” said Dr. Murad Alam from Northwestern University.” But we need more studies to better understand exactly how much exercise is necessary to have any benefit, whether it works for men and women of different ages, and then how much exercise is needed to keep that benefit.”
Medical reporter Dr. Jennifer Ashton said that she is not sure whether face yoga works and that any benefits are most likely going to be up to the person trying it. “If you feel better after trying face yoga, it may be something you should keep doing,” she said.
12. What made Takatsu decide to create the Face Yoga Method
A. An unexpected car accident. B. Great interest in doing yoga.
C. Unaffordable beauty treatments. D. Unsatisfactory effects of creams.
13. What do we know about Hayashi
A. She wrote a book about face yoga. B. She followed in Takatsu’s footsteps.
C. She had a plastic surgery two years ago. D. She had always admired natural beauty.
14. What can be inferred from Alam’s words
A. The study is helpful but more research is needed.
B. Face yoga is more suitable for women than men.
C. Face yoga needs much too exercise to bring benefits.
D. The study is well-designed but the findings are worthless.
15. What does Ashton think of face yoga
A. Its key point is keeping exercising.
B. It can stop all kinds of signs of aging.
C. Its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
D. Its effectiveness depends on personal feelings.
