Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).
Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.
Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.
Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.
As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles.
Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”
4. Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To indicate the girl’s age. B. To imply a serious illness.
C. To show the shortage of toys and candies. D. To highlight the value of the wig.
5 What can be learned from the father’s words
A Hairstyle matters much. B. Sports benefit Mustafa.
C Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D. Mustafa’s treatment failed.
6. What led to Salam’s decision on the mission
A. His sympathy. B. Family support.
C. Government fund. D. Mustafa’s enthusiasm.
7. What kind of person is Salam according to the passage
A. Cautious and innovative. B. Inspiring and talented.
C. Sensitive and empathetic. D. Ambitious and sensible.
C
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷). In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Jun Yao, described the new invention as a “small-scale, man-made cloud”. Since the new device generates electricity from the air, the scientists call it “Air-gen”.
Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity- enough to power a small sensor. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air.
The scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity before, but those methods didn’t work for long, or were expensive to make. But in 2020, Dr Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special “nanowires” made from bacteria. That research led the scientists to the key discovery of the Air-gen: almost any material can create electricity in this way as long as it has nanopores (纳米孔) of the right size. This is important because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hope that the Air-gen will become an important green energy source.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy. But Dr Yao and his team are working on ways to make the Air-gen technology more powerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers could be piled on top of each other to create more electricity without taking up more space.
8. The Air-gen is invented ________.
A. to collect water droplets in the air. B. to generate electricity from bacteria.
C. to create a small-scale artificial cloud. D. to produce electricity from moisture.
9. How does the Air-gen device generate electricity
A. By using large charges in lightening. B. By changing sunlight into electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water droplets. D. By turning water into a usable energy source.
10. What is one potential concern raised by scientists about the Air-gen
A. It might not produce enough electricity. B. It has a negative impact on the environment.
C. It requires expensive materials to manufacture. D. It is less reliable than traditional power sources.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity from the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made cloud. D. Looking for green energy source.
D
Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the most important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it.”
One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.
Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptive to misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation (两极化) among them.
The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men—including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣) —and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.
She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the government to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.
12. What does the book mainly focus on
A. Promoting people’s insight into climate change.
B. Introducing presentation skills with TED talks.
C. Developing critical thinking through literature.
D. Sharing communication tips on climate change.
13. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book
A. Humorous but one-sided. B. Novel and interesting.
C. Well-based and workable. D. Serious and hard to follow.
14. How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”
A. By changing their political identity.
B. By challenging their fundamental beliefs.
C. By seeking common ground built on a shared interest.
D. By providing more facts about climate change.
15. What does the author intend to say by telling the story in paragraph 5
A. The shift to clean energy is unstoppable.
B. Conversations can influence climate decision-making.
C. Policymakers turn a blind eye to market changes.
D. We should call on people to prepare for the climate crisis.

We definitely have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices exist around. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society. ____17____
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the challenges they face. ____18____ Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
____19____ A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. ____20____ They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
A. Most people tend to insist that life should be fair.
B. There is no absolute fairness in life, but it’s relatively fair.
C. Life is full of examples of people who complain about life being unfair.
D. In fact, it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
E. But I disagree with the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world.
F. Stories like this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception.
G. It doesn’t matter whether we are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.

An Outdoor Trip That Speaks Louder Than A Regular Class
One day, as Jack, a science teacher, stressed the pressing need for protecting Tangerine Darters, a kind of fish, students in his class seemed uninterested and bored. Jack continued, but his students showed little enthusiasm.
He paused for a moment, allowing the silence to settle in the classroom. Then he went on in a different way.
“Imagine,” Jack began, his voice filled with passion, “the feeling of wading (趟水) through the clear shallow waters of Pigeon River, surrounded by the gentle sunlight. Picture the colors of the Tangerine Darters as they gracefully swim through the currents, their orange bellies (肚子) shining like rays of sunshine, or in that moment, a Tangerine Darter in your hands, its orange belly shining in the sunlight.” He painted a vivid picture with his words. Curiosity lit in his students’ eyes as they bent forward, eager to know more.
Jack continued, “The darters are very picky about their habitats. The place where they live should be very clean, and slight pollution could drive them away or even endanger their very existence.”
As Jack spoke, his passion spread quickly among his students, who started to ask questions, wanting to know more about the Tangerine Darters. Inspired by their newfound interest, Jack had an idea. Why not take students to the Pigeon River, where they can witness the beauty of the Tangerine Darters firsthand
A week later, they were on the trip to the Pigeon River in Canton, North Carolina, where the environment was well preserved in comparison with other industrial areas.
Sunshine bounced off the Pigeon River, and cool water flowed over rocks and boulders (卵石)—the preferred habitat of Tangerine Darters. With Jack, it was the first time that the students had stood in the shallow water, eager to see their target of this fish eco logy class field trip.
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。
Suddenly, Jack bent and quickly caught a fish.

Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).
Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.
Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.
Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.
As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles.
Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”
4. Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To indicate the girl’s age. B. To imply a serious illness.
C. To show the shortage of toys and candies. D. To highlight the value of the wig.
5. What can be learned from the father’s words
A. Hairstyle matters much. B. Sports benefit Mustafa.
C. Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D. Mustafa’s treatment failed.
6. What led to Salam’s decision on the mission
A. His sympathy. B. Family support.
C. Government fund. D. Mustafa’s enthusiasm.
7. What kind of person is Salam according to the passage
A. Cautious and innovative. B. Inspiring and talented.
C. Sensitive and empathetic. D. Ambitious and sensible.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位来自埃及的叫萨拉姆的人，在得知一位患病儿童得到假发后，开始筹资为癌症患儿设计和提供免费假发，帮助他们重获信心和力量。对于这些患儿来说，他能做的或许不多，但带给他们情感和道德上的支持，帮助他们度过这个艰难的病痛时期。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).(五岁的穆斯塔法这么多年来第一次露出了笑容。她没有收到新玩具或她最喜欢的糖果；相反，她得到了一顶假发。)”以及第二段中“Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). (穆斯塔法在很小的时候就被诊断出患有癌症，不得不经历痛苦的手术。数月化疗后，她的头发掉光了，她父亲表达了她的悲伤。)”可知，穆斯塔法因为被诊断患有癌症，经过数月的化疗后头发掉光了，因此相比于收到新玩具或者最喜欢的糖果，收到一顶假发对她来说是更有意义的。故第一段提到了玩具和糖果是为了突出假发的价值。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.(她看到和她同龄的孩子在操场上蹦蹦跳跳，花上几个小时做发型，而她却不能。失去头发让她绝望，对她的治疗产生了负面影响，”女孩的父亲说。)”可知，看到别的孩子在操场上蹦蹦跳跳，花上几个小时做发型，而穆斯塔法却不能，失去头发让她绝望，对她的治疗产生了负面影响即失去头发让她极度沮丧。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits.(萨拉姆在社交媒体上看到了一段走红的视频，视频中一位年轻的癌症患者因获得新假发而兴奋不已，于是他开始了自己的使命。就在那一刻，他决定为患癌症的孩子们提供免费的假发，让他们振作起来。)”可知，萨拉姆在社交媒体上看到了一段视频：一位年轻的癌症患者因获得新假发而兴奋不已，就是在这一刻他决定为患癌症的孩子们提供免费的假发即他对那些因为癌症进行化疗而失去头发的孩子们的同情和理解，才让他开始为那些孩子们制作假发的使命。故选A。
【7题详解】

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷). In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Jun Yao, described the new invention as a “small-scale, man-made cloud”. Since the new device generates electricity from the air, the scientists call it “Air-gen”.
Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity- enough to power a small sensor. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air.
The scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity before, but those methods didn’t work for long, or were expensive to make. But in 2020, Dr Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special “nanowires” made from bacteria. That research led the scientists to the key discovery of the Air-gen: almost any material can create electricity in this way as long as it has nanopores (纳米孔) of the right size. This is important because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hope that the Air-gen will become an important green energy source.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy. But Dr Yao and his team are working on ways to make the Air-gen technology more powerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers could be piled on top of each other to create more electricity without taking up more space.
8. The Air-gen is invented ________.
A. to collect water droplets in the air. B. to generate electricity from bacteria.
C. to create a small-scale artificial cloud. D. to produce electricity from moisture.
9. How does the Air-gen device generate electricity
A. By using large charges in lightening. B. By changing sunlight into electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water droplets. D. By turning water into a usable energy source.
10. What is one potential concern raised by scientists about the Air-gen
A. It might not produce enough electricity. B. It has a negative impact on the environment.
C. It requires expensive materials to manufacture. D. It is less reliable than traditional power sources.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity from the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made cloud. D. Looking for green energy source.
【答案】8 D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了科学家发明了一种新的方法——利用空气中的湿气发电。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air.(他们的方法是利用超微小的孔从空气中的湿气中发电)”可知，Air-gen主要是利用空气中的湿气发电。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge (电荷).(空气中的水分有助于发电。空气中的水滴带有电荷)”可知，Air-gen用空气中的水滴所携带的电荷发电，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy.(但一些科学家认为，Air-gen可能很难产生足够的电力来真正发挥作用，尤其是与太阳能等能源相比)”可知，科学家一个潜在的担忧是Air-gen很难生产足够多的电。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture (湿气) in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.(马萨诸塞大学阿姆赫斯特分校的科学家们发明了一种新的发电方法。他们的方法是利用超微小的孔从空气中的水分中发电。科学家们希望这种方法有一天能带来随时随地廉价、清洁的电力)”结合文章主要介绍科学家发明了一种新的方法，利用空气中的湿气发电。B选项“从空气中产生电力”最符合文章标题。故选B。

Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World is one of the most important books about climate change to have been written. Hayhoe is a gifted public speaker and Saving Us is a follow-up to her awesome TED talk in 2018, “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it.”
One of the many refreshing aspects of this book is that Hayhoe recounts both her successes and her failures to communicate, through which she has gathered evidence about what works and what does not. Much of the book’s advice is common sense, all backed up not just by Hayhoe’s experience but also with convincing research by psychologists and social scientists.
Hayhoe advises against trying to engage with a small minority, the “Dismissives”, who “angrily reject the idea that human-caused climate change is a threat; they are most receptive to misinformation and conspiracy theories (阴谋论)”. There is a warning that offering up more facts about climate change can actually increase polarisation (两极化) among them.
The book includes amusing examples of her encounters with the “Dismissives”, almost entirely older men—including an engineer who was unconvinced about the evidence but with whom she was able to establish mutual (相互的) respect through a shared passion for knitting (打毛线衣) —and is packed with inspiring accounts of how she has won over even the most suspicious of crowds. Her motto is “bond, connect and inspire”, which represents her approach of always looking for points of commonality.
She also tells of a man who approached her after an event in London in 2019. He had been so inspired by her TED talk that he had started to speak to everybody he could in his neighborhood of Wandsworth. He showed her details of 12, 000 conversations that had taken place as a result, claiming that they had helped to convince the government to declare a climate emergency and to switch investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
And so, while it may feel difficult to influence the outcome of the COP26, Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue.
12. What does the book mainly focus on
A. Promoting people’s insight into climate change.
B. Introducing presentation skills with TED talks.
C. Developing critical thinking through literature.
D. Sharing communication tips on climate change.
13. Which of the following best describes the advice in the book
A. Humorous but one-sided. B. Novel and interesting.
C. Well-based and workable. D. Serious and hard to follow.
14. How did Hayhoe win over the “Dismissives”
A. By changing their political identity.
B. By challenging their fundamental beliefs.
C. By seeking common ground built on a shared interest.
D. By providing more facts about climate change.
15. What does the author intend to say by telling the story in paragraph 5
A. The shift to clean energy is unstoppable.
B. Conversations can influence climate decision-making.
C. Policymakers turn a blind eye to market changes.
D. We should call on people to prepare for the climate crisis.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B

(他受到她的TED演讲的启发，开始与旺兹沃斯附近的每个人交谈。他向她展示了由此发生的12000次对话的详细信息，声称这些对话帮助说服理事会宣布气候紧急状态并将投资从化石燃料转向可再生能源。)”和最后一段中“Hayhoe’s uplifting book makes a persuasive case that we can all do our bit to bring about success just by talking about the issue. (海霍这本令人振奋的书提出了一个有说服力的案例，即我们都可以通过谈论这个问题尽自己的一份力量来取得成功。)”可知，这个故事表明，这些对话帮助说服理事会宣布气候紧急状态并将投资从化石燃料转向可再生能源，由此可推知，作者通过第五段的故事表明对话可以影响气候决策。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题: 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。
There is always a lot of talk about what is fair, and what is not. ____16____ Yet, some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness Is life fair Should life be fair
We definitely have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices exist around. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society. ____17____
I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the challenges they face. ____18____ Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges.
____19____ A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. ____20____ They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.
A. Most people tend to insist that life should be fair.
B. There is no absolute fairness in life, but it’s relatively fair.
C. Life is full of examples of people who complain about life being unfair.
D. In fact, it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.
E. But I disagree with the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world.
F. Stories like this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception.
G. It doesn’t matter whether we are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.
【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨的是人生是否是公平的。文章的作者认为公平在于我们看待世界、对待自己的态度。
【16题详解】
根据下一句“Yet, some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. (然而，99%的人似乎认为生活在某种程度上对他们不公平，而1%的人则觉得生活对他们不够公平。)”可知，大部分人认为生活在某种程度上对他们不公平，而由下一句中的yet可知，空格处的句子应是说“大多数人坚持认为生活应该是公平的。”所以，A选项“Most people tend to insist that life should be fair.(大多数人坚持认为生活应该是公平的。)”与下文是转折关系，符合语境。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society. (我们的生活状态不能，或者至少不应该，归咎于我们的父母，我们的老师，或者我们的社会。)”可知，此处强调的是我们不能将生活的状态归咎于外在条件，说明接下来这个句子就是说我们应该采取的态度是什么。D选项“In fact, it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.(事实上，这很大程度上取决于我们所做的选择，以及我们所采取的态度。)”与前文呼应，符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据前文“I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the challenges they face. (我同意挑战是存在的。我同意，由于他们面临的挑战，许多人都有一场艰苦的战斗。)”可知，前两个句子为并列句强调的是“我”同意的内容。E选项“But I disagree with the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world.( 但我不同意用公平来解决世界上所有问题的企图。)”中的but与前文构成转折，句中的“I disagree”，说明本句是想表达和前两种情况不同的意思，符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. (我的一个朋友在快30岁的时候从非洲来到这个国家，几乎不会说中文，在上大学的时候开着出租车，现在是一家技术服务公司的总裁。)”可知，此处通过举例说明：不是所有成功的人都是生来就有很优越的家境。G选项“It doesn’t matter whether we are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all.(无论我们是带着银汤匙、塑料汤匙出生，还是根本没有勺子出生，这都无关紧要。)”引起下文，指出先天出生的家庭条件不是重要的，概括了例子说明的观点，符合语境。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据前文根“A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. (我的一个朋友在快30岁的时候从非洲来到这个国家，几乎不会说中文，在上大学的时候开着出租车，现在是一家技术服务公司的总裁。)”可知，此处通过举例说明：不是所有成功的人都是生来就有很优越的家境。F选项“Stories like this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception.( 像这样的故事在我们身边比比皆是——它们不是奇迹，也不是罕见的例外。)”中的Stories与前文提到的例子进行呼应，指出不是所有成功的人都是生来就有很优越的家境，但是依旧成功的例子比比皆是，符合语境。故选F。

An Outdoor Trip That Speaks Louder Than A Regular Class
One day, as Jack, a science teacher, stressed the pressing need for protecting Tangerine Darters, a kind of fish, students in his class seemed uninterested and bored. Jack continued, but his students showed little enthusiasm.
He paused for a moment, allowing the silence to settle in the classroom. Then he went on in a different way.
“Imagine,” Jack began, his voice filled with passion, “the feeling of wading (趟水) through the clear shallow waters of Pigeon River, surrounded by the gentle sunlight. Picture the colors of the Tangerine Darters as they gracefully swim through the currents, their orange bellies (肚子) shining like rays of sunshine, or in that moment, a Tangerine Darter in your hands, its orange belly shining in the sunlight.” He painted a vivid picture with his words. Curiosity lit in his students’ eyes as they bent forward, eager to know more.
Jack continued, “The darters are very picky about their habitats. The place where they live should be very clean, and slight pollution could drive them away or even endanger their very existence.”
As Jack spoke, his passion spread quickly among his students, who started to ask questions, wanting to know more about the Tangerine Darters. Inspired by their newfound interest, Jack had an idea. Why not take students to the Pigeon River, where they can witness the beauty of the Tangerine Darters firsthand
A week later, they were on the trip to the Pigeon River in Canton, North Carolina, where the environment was well preserved in comparison with other industrial areas.
Sunshine bounced off the Pigeon River, and cool water flowed over rocks and boulders (卵石)—the preferred habitat of Tangerine Darters. With Jack, it was the first time that the students had stood in the shallow water, eager to see their target of this fish eco logy class field trip.

【答案】范文
Suddenly, Jack bent and quickly caught a fish. Curious, the students crowded him around, eager for a closer look. In the sun, the fish’s o range belly was shining like rays of sunshine. “A Tangerine Darter!” students exclaimed cheerfully. “Beautiful, isn’t it ” Jack asked. A direct observation of the wonderful creature in the flesh stimulated the students’ interest. In the natural classroom, the Pigeon River, the students listened attentively to Jack’s introduction of the fish, such as what they eat and how they live and multiply. As Jack spoke, the students’ enthusiasm grew stronger.
Seeing the students interested looks, Jack began to raise a question. “Why can’t this fish live in other rivers ” Jack asked, looking into their burning eyes. Then, like in a regular lesson, he paused, allowing his students to reflect. One student responded, “They’re picky about their habitats.” Jack nodded smilingly. “So ” Jack continued. “If we pollute rivers at will, clear water like this will disappear, so will this beautiful fish,” another student answered thoughtfully. Seeing students truly involved, Jack felt a sense of satisfaction. The outdoor trip did prove to speak louder than a regular class.
