A
Top Piano Players in the World
Martha Argerich
Martha Argerich could be considered the next Beethoven, as she is one of the most outstanding pianists ever to play. Argerich preferred being on stage with others instead of performing solo; therefore, she has been performing in a concerto format since the 1980s. Argerich was not one for the spotlight, as she often avoided public appearances such as interviews; however, her great talent was all the publicity she needed, standing out during concertos and sonatas.
Leif Ove Andsnes
Known for his appealing performances of Edvard Grieg’s works, Andsnes has won praise for his performances at some of the world’s most famous concert halls. Andsnes has certainly made his mark in Norway, as he is the founding director of Norway’s Rosendal Chamber Music Festival. Because of his unique voice and interesting approach, he was praised by The New York Times as a “pianist of authoritative elegance, power, and insight.”
Alfred Brendel
Known for his beautiful interpretations of Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert and Mozart, Alfred Brendel was considered one of the greats. He played in various concertos throughout his career and became known for his interpretive coldness in recreating these works. Brendel was considered one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, as he made his mark in the classical music industry. Brendel was self-taught and learned his love of piano at an early age.
Arthur Rubinstein
Arthur Rubinstein was certainly one of the greats. His career began in the early 20th century when he began to come into contact with some of the world’s most important composers, such as Maurice Ravel, Paul Dukas, and Jacques Thibaud. He made various trips worldwide and visited nearly every continent, where crowds met him with great praise and encouragement.

It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.
Yasmeen Lari, a 65-year-old architect, was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements, but she had never done disaster work before. Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here, she’d be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari’s shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local, cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari’s Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018.“We need to believe in people’s capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners, not victims. They know what to do,” says Lari.
Over the decades, Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in1941, she had an unconventional upbringing. At home, her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.
At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs, skills building and self-sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn’t allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”
4. What can we learn about Lari from the first two paragraphs
A. She felt considerably proud to do disaster-relief work.
B. She started a brand-new volunteer working experience.
C. She was good at designing earthquake-resistant houses.
D. She reconstructed the settlements with glass and concrete.
5. How did Lari make her design practical and environmental
A. By creating an ecosystem.
B. By strengthening local buildings.
C. By using local sustainable materials.
D. By watching DIY videos on YouTube.
6. Why did Lari decide to apply to architecture school
A. Her interest in architecture drove her.
B. Her father encouraged her to path unusual.
C. Her father talked about the demand for architects.
D. Her rich family allowed her to pursue the most of dream.
7. Which of the following best describes Yasmeen Lari
A. Sensitive and brave.
B. Determined and cooperative.
C. Honest and generous.
D. Sympathetic and eco-responsible.
C
A new study involving nearly 50,000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40—53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.
“So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.”
8. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people’s health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
9. What does the underlined words “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
10. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
11. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed.
C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps.
D
Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.”
Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.
Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple of chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained.
Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support, ”she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social connections, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The procedure of the research. B. The analysis of the research data.
C. The significance of the research. D. The application of the research findings.
13. How does Collins explain the findings in paragraph 3
A. By citing experts’ words. B. By presenting questions.
C By illustrating concepts. D. By making comparison.
14. What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Live a more positive life. B. Offer support to people nearby.
C. Expand one’s inner circle. D. Connect with all kinds of people.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Talking to Strangers Might Make You Happier
B. Relational Diversity Decides Your Happiness
C. Human Beings Are Social Creatures in Nature
D. Finding Support Benefits Your Well-being
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____16____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. ____17____For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
___18___You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ___19___For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” ___20___However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mother believed in using things up. Last year, our cornfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted on the crops. It was probably then that Mom’s frugality(节俭) became even more extraordinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic(阁楼)—worn-out clothes, old sheets, broken umbrellas, and some other old items. Mom’s favorite saying was “waste not, want not”. My brother Josh and I weren’t sure what that meant until the “Affair of the Scarecrow(稻草人)”, which, as it later became known, left a lasting impression on us.
The story began with a pretty hat that Mom received as a gift to protect her from the sun. However, Josh and I could see that Mom’s frugal nature and fashion sense were in battle. Mom really didn’t want to get rid of the hat—it was new and had a lot of use left in it—but neither could she stand wearing it. She tried to take off the fancy decorations, but they were stuck on tight. She’d have to find some other solution.
Josh and I watched as Mom headed upstairs to the attic with the hat. “Waste not, want not,” she called back down. We heard boxes being moved around. Moments later, Mom leaned out, holding a flour bag full of straw, and with a mysterious smile, she placed the hat on it.
“What is that for ” I asked, confused. “A scarecrow!” Mom exclaimed. “But not a good one yet. It needs a strong body to stand firm in the field,” she said with a frown. “And it doesn’t look scary enough,” Josh remarked. I had to admit that Josh, though younger than I was, could sometimes be more imaginative. Josh and I turned to each other, searching for a good idea. Soon enough, Josh’s eyes lit up with inspiration.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

“Come with me!” Josh called out.

It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.
Yasmeen Lari, a 65-year-old architect, was there to help lead the reconstruction of settlements, but she had never done disaster work before. Lari was known for designing smooth towers of glass and concrete. But here, she’d be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.
Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari’s shelters can better withstand disasters. Lari says this local, cost-effective and zero-carbon approach is creating an ecosystem. Anyone can learn by watching DIY videos on Lari’s Zero Carbon Channel on YouTube.
The design won a UN World Habitat Prize in 2018.“We need to believe in people’s capacity to bring about change. I treat displaced people as partners, not victims. They know what to do,” says Lari.
Over the decades, Yasmeen Lari has won many awards as architect and environmentalist. While it may seem like an unlikely path for a girl who was born into a well-to-do family in1941, she had an unconventional upbringing. At home, her father would talk about the desperate need for housing. Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. She laughs as she recalls her bravery.
At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs, skills building and self-sustaining villages. “Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn’t allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”
4. What can we learn about Lari from the first two paragraphs
A. She felt considerably proud to do disaster-relief work.
B. She started a brand-new volunteer working experience.
C. She was good at designing earthquake-resistant houses.
D. She reconstructed the settlements with glass and concrete.
5. How did Lari make her design practical and environmental
A. By creating an ecosystem.
B. By strengthening local buildings.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了巴基斯坦女性建筑师Yasmeen Lari努力改进村庄的房屋设计以更好地抵御自然灾害，突显其体恤村民和倡导环保的精神。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was October 2005, and the catastrophic earthquake killing some 79,000 people in Pakistan had reduced the valley to mud and ruins.(那是2005年10月，巴基斯坦发生了灾难性的地震，造成约7.9万人死亡，山谷变成了泥泞和废墟。)”以及第二段中“But here, she’d be drawing plans for earthquake-resistant homes using stone and timber debris(木材碎片). With each passing day, she felt deeply right to do disaster-relief work. So she made it her new mission, spending the next four months working with volunteer architects and engineers from Pakistan and abroad.( 但在这里，她会用石头和木屑来设计抗震房屋。每过一天，她都深深感到做救灾工作是正确的。因此，她把它作为自己的新任务，在接下来的四个月里，她与来自巴基斯坦和国外的志愿者建筑师和工程师一起工作。)”可知，在巴基斯坦发生了灾难性的地震之后，Lari会用石头和木屑来设计抗震房屋，她把它作为自己的新任务，在接下来的四个月里，她与来自巴基斯坦和国外的志愿者建筑师和工程师一起工作，由此可知，Lai开始了一段全新的志愿者工作经历。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Inspired by local buildings made with sustainable materials such as timber debris, bamboo and mud, Lari’s shelters can better withstand disasters. (受到当地用木材碎片、竹子和泥土等可持续材料建造的建筑的启发，拉里的避难所可以更好地抵御灾害。)”可知，Lari设计的房屋就地取材，低成本、零碳，实用环保即这些材料是可持续的材料。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Listening to her father talk about the housing crisis and need for architects made an impression on Lari. On a family visit to London when she was 15, she applied to architecture school at Oxford Brookes University. (听父亲谈论住房危机和对建筑师的需求给拉里留下了深刻的印象。15岁时随家人去伦敦旅游，她申请了牛津布鲁克斯大学(Oxford brooks University)的建筑学院。)”可知，Lari申请建筑学院的原因是因为听父亲谈论住房危机和对建筑师的需求给其留下了深刻的印象。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“At age 83, Yasmeen Lari is still full of ideas about zero-carbon designs, skills building and self-sustaining villages.( 83岁高龄的Yasmeen Lari仍然对零碳设计、技能培养和自给自足的村庄充满了想法。)”以及““Architects can no longer work for just the one percent,” she says. “That doesn’t allow them to serve humanity as much as they could.”(“建筑师不能再只为那1%的人工作了，”她说。“这让他们无法尽其所能为人类服务。”)”可知，Yasmeen Lari仍然对零碳设计、技能培养和自给自足的村庄充满了想法以及她认为建筑师应该尽全力为所有人服务，故体现出她是富有同情心和环保意识的。故选D。
C
A new study involving nearly 50,000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40—53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.
“So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.”
8. Why did the scientists carry out the new study
A. To know about people’s health condition.
B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles.
C. To determine the best physical activity for people.
D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.
9. What does the underlined words “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly.
10. What does the experiment find
A. The old should walk as much as possible.
B. Young people usually walk more than the old.
C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups.
D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.
11. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do
A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed.
C To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新研究对四大洲近5万人进行了分析，确定了能够最大程度改善健康、延长寿命每日步数，同时调查了不同年龄段的人每日最佳步数是否有所不同。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.(这项研究代表了一项关于体育活动益处的循证公共卫生信息的开发工作。这个每天一万步经常被重复的说法源于几十年前日本计步器的营销活动，没有科学依据。)”可知，现有的观点缺乏科学依据，本项研究旨在为科学的走路步数提供证据，由此可推知本研究旨在为日常走路锻炼提供科学指导。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线短语后面的“meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity”可知，多余的步数并不会增加额外的好处，由此可推知步数到达一定量之后降低死亡的风险趋于稳定，不再变化。“leveled off”意为“保持水平，保持平稳发展”，与Became stable意思相近。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.(更具体地说，对于60岁及以上的成年人来说，过早死亡的风险稳定在每天6000—8000步左右，这意味着更多的步数对寿命没有额外的好处，而对于60岁以下的成年人来说大约是每天8000—10000步。)”可推知，年龄不同，最佳效果步数也不一样。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Paluch所说的“There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.(有很多证据表明，多运动一点是有益的，尤其是对那些活动很少的人来说。)”和“More steps per day are better for your health.(每天多走几步对你的健康有益。)”可知，不运动的人，增加走路步数对健康有益，因此可知Paluch建议不运动的人应该增加走路步数。故选A。
D
Next time you consider striking up a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store or while waiting at the laundry, keep in mind that it might be beneficial for your well-being. A recent study by a group of researchers found that there is a link between happiness and a term that the researchers coined called “relational diversity.”
Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.
Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness. Richness measures relationship categories, or how many kinds of people you interact with in a day. That could be your romantic partner, a family member, a neighbor or a stranger. “The more relationship categories they talk to in a day and the more even their conversations are across those categories, the happier they are. And we find this in a large sample across many countries,” Collins said. Evenness relates to the distribution of conversations among those different relationship categories. Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple of chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained.
Ultimately, Collins says, the study gives insight to the idea that humans are social creatures at heart. Having a support system is important, but it goes beyond your inner circle. “It’s about this mix. It’s about connecting with people who are close to you, who are maybe less close to you, who connect you with other people, who provide different kinds of support, ”she said. “Essentially, the idea is that the more diverse your social connections, the happier you are and the higher your well-being.”
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The procedure of the research. B. The analysis of the research data.
C. The significance of the research. D. The application of the research findings.
13. How does Collins explain the findings in paragraph 3
A. By citing experts’ words. B. By presenting questions.
C. By illustrating concepts. D. By making comparison.
14. What does Collins suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Live a more positive life. B. Offer support to people nearby.
C. Expand one’s inner circle. D. Connect with all kinds of people.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A. Talking to Strangers Might Make You Happier
B. Relational Diversity Decides Your Happiness
C. Human Beings Are Social Creatures in Nature
D. Finding Support Benefits Your Well-being
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Using public data from sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the World Health Organization, the researchers analyzed data sets and survey responses from people who had shared their daily habits, schedules and interactions. They noticed a clear relationship between relational diversity and overall levels of satisfaction.

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Hanne Collins, a Harvard Business School doctoral student who co-authored the study, says that relational diversity is composed of two elements: richness and evenness.

Some people may find themselves interacting with colleagues at work more than, say, their family members. “If you have a few conversations with colleagues, a few with friends, a few with a romantic partner or a couple chats with strangers, that’s going to be more even across these categories,” Collins explained. (这项研究的合著者、哈佛商学院博士生汉恩·柯林斯（Hanne Collins）表示，关系多样性由两个要素组成：丰富性和均匀性。财富衡量的是关系类别，或者你一天中与多少类型的人互动。那可能是你的浪漫伴侣、家人、邻居或陌生人。柯林斯说：“他们在一天中交谈的关系类别越多，甚至他们在这些类别中的对话越多，他们就越快乐。我们在许多国家的一个大样本中发现了这一点。”均匀性与这些不同关系类别之间的对话分布有关。有些人可能会发现自己在工作中与同事的互动比与家人的互动更多。柯林斯解释道：“如果你和同事聊了几次，和朋友聊了几句，和一个浪漫的伴侣聊了几段，或者和陌生人聊了几回，那么这类人的情况会更好。”)”可知，柯林斯主要通过丰富性和均匀性这两个概念来解释他的发现。故选C。

(本质上，这个想法是，你的社交组合越多样化，你就越快乐，你的幸福感就越高。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述一个人的幸福感和社交多样化有联系，和不同的陌生人群交流，就会有幸福感。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. ____16____Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. ____17____For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
___18___You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. ___19___For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” ___20___However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.

【点睛】关于七选五的做题步骤：
1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。
2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。
3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。小题1中上句讲人们使用密码已经几千年了，下句讲密码破译工作。空白处和密码破译有关，D项内容符合语境，连接上下文。小题2中后面的例子是来证明人们设置密码时往往会利用一些单词的第一个字母作为密码，E项符合此内容。
4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。
在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。
5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。

【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述中国科学家袁隆平的逝世以及他的贡献。他发明了杂交水稻救了数以百万计的处于饥饿中的人。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：世界各地的人们都在哀悼中国科学家袁隆平的逝世，他毕生致力于高产水稻品种的研究，为世界各地更多的人们提供粮食。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰Yuan Longping，故此处用who的所有格whose，作定语，表示“……的”，故填whose。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：袁隆平1930年出生于北京，毕生致力于杂交水稻的研究。devote …to…“致力于”固定短语，根据句意，故填to。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：经过不懈的努力，他终于在1973年成功培育出世界上第一个杂交水稻品种，并于次年在湖南省首次种植。分析句子可知，此处overcome与后面的cultivated并列，作并列谓语，描述过去发生的事情，故同样使用一般过去时，故填overcame。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：这是杂交水稻第一次被用于农业。 “it is/was the +序数词+ time+完成时” 是固定句型，因为此处前面的be动词是was，所以后面使用过去完成时，use是从句谓语动词，与主语a hybrid rice是被动关系，故填had been used。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他花了50多年的时间研究杂交水稻，帮助中国创造了一个伟大的奇迹——用不到世界总面积9%的土地养活了将近世界五分之一的人口。分析句子可知，破折号后的内容解释说a great wonder，feed与逻辑主语wonder是主动关系，使用现在分词形式。故填feeding。
【41题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意同上。根据后面的than可知此处要用比较级，little的比较级是less。故填less。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：此外，为了帮助解决粮食短缺问题，袁的团队在数十个国家提供培训。course“课程”可数名词，此处意为“几十个国家的培训课程”，肯定不只一门课程，因此要用复数形式。故填courses。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。意为食物短缺，因此要使用名词形式shortage，作介词宾语，shortage此处用作不可数名词，food shortage“食物短缺”。故填shortage。
【44题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：然而，让世界印象最深刻的是，尽管他做出了这么大的贡献，他仍然认为自己是一个农民，很少关心金钱和名声。分析句子可知，“__impressed the world most”是主语从句，从句缺少主语，用连接词what，在该主语从句中作主语，意为“……的（东西）” 故填what。
【45题详解】
考查固定短语。句意同上。固定词组“consider sb. as…”，意为“认为某人是”，此处意为：袁隆平认为自己是农民。故填as。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My mother believed in using things up. Last year, our cornfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted on the crops. It was probably then that Mom’s frugality(节俭) became even more extraordinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic(阁楼)—worn-out clothes, old sheets, broken umbrellas, and some other old items. Mom’s favorite saying was “waste not, want not”. My brother Josh and I weren’t sure what that meant until the “Affair of the Scarecrow(稻草人)”, which, as it later became known, left a lasting impression on us.
The story began with a pretty hat that Mom received as a gift to protect her from the sun. However, Josh and I could see that Mom’s frugal nature and fashion sense were in battle. Mom really didn’t want to get rid of the hat—it was new and had a lot of use left in it—but neither could she stand wearing it. She tried to take off the fancy decorations, but they were stuck on tight. She’d have to find some other solution.
Josh and I watched as Mom headed upstairs to the attic with the hat. “Waste not, want not,” she called back down. We heard boxes being moved around. Moments later, Mom leaned out, holding a flour bag full of straw, and with a mysterious smile, she placed the hat on it.
“What is that for ” I asked, confused. “A scarecrow!” Mom exclaimed. “But not a good one yet. It needs a strong body to stand firm in the field,” she said with a frown. “And it doesn’t look scary enough,” Josh remarked. I had to admit that Josh, though younger than I was, could sometimes be more imaginative. Josh and I turned to each other, searching for a good idea. Soon enough, Josh’s eyes lit up with inspiration.
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。
Paragraph 1:
“Come with me!” Josh called out
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In the days that followed, the scarecrow stood tall.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Come with me!” Josh called out. The next instant, he raced upstairs with lightning speed. I hurried to follow him into the attic, where we began a thorough search. Mom was amused by our excitement when we found the broken umbrellas and used them as the backbone of the Scarecrow. After that, we sorted out some old sheets and tied them on. The scarecrow now looked even scarier. We dragged our creation to the cornfield and planted it firmly in the mud, our hearts full of hope.
In the days that followed, the scarecrow stood tall. Serving as a silent guardian, it successfully scared the birds away. Under its watchful eyes, our cornfield flourished this year. To our amazement, Mom’s useless things from the attic had come together to create something extraordinary. As we enjoyed a good harvest, her favorite saying, “waste not, want not”, echoed in our hearts. The “Affair of the Scarecrow” has taught us the value of creatively transforming seemingly useless items into treasure, making us aware that frugality is a good quality after all.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。妈妈是一个非常节俭的人，她的名言是“勤俭节约，吃穿不缺”。去年由于鸟吃庄稼，玉米地里收成不好，妈妈的节俭更加不同寻常，她总是把一些破旧的东西存放到阁楼里。后来她收到了一个她戴不上的帽子礼物，但是不想浪费，于是她拿着帽子去阁楼，准备做一个稻草人驱赶玉米地里的鸟。弟弟乔希想到了让稻草人变得更吓人、更结实的方法。他们用阁楼里存放的破旧物品做了一个稻草人，这帮助玉米地获得了好收成。作者和弟弟也意识到节俭是良好美德。
