There’s no better way for us to learn about the amazing creatures that share our planet than up-close and personal animal encounters.
Researching Ocean Creatures in the Maldives
The Marine Life Discovery Center in the Maldives is a great place to learn about all kinds of ocean animals. You can join the scientists and help protect the ocean environment. Moreover, the center runs a rescue program for sea turtles.
Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya
Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them. However, many other kinds of wildlife also end up here. This is a unique place to interact with African animals of all shapes and sizes.
Conserving Rhinos (犀牛) in South Africa
The two new Marataba Conservation Camps will give you new experiences. Visitors are expected to take part in all research projects and will see wildlife and get to collect related information. Rhino Conservation is at the heart of Marataba, which has wonderful views of the Waterberg Mountains.
Finding Rare Animals in New Zealand
New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs. You can go to Southland Museum and Art Gallery to meet one or spot them in the wild on Tiritiri Matangi Island.

A month ago, when we were brainstorming ideas for my column, my editor approached me with a challenge: spend $10 at the local second-hand store Goodwill and turn my finds into new treasures. I hesitated. I was doubtful about my ability to turn trash (废物) into treasures. But the New Year seemed like a good time to push the limits of my creativity, so I made up my mind to give it a shot.
I took my $10 and went to Goodwill. I spent over an hour digging through shelves, looking for something I could safely upcycle. I was not especially handy, so I didn’t want to use anything easily breakable or damage an old hardcover book for the purpose of decoration.
Therefore, I took a step back and decided to choose a project before I picked my items. I thought back to an article I once wrote on container gardening and decided that I could make a pretty planter out of almost anything. With my new goal in mind, I chose a basket and a bag of stones I could use for drainage (排水) for plants.
It felt cheap to just fill the containers with soil, but my limited skills left me with few tools at home. Plus, I needed plants. So I picked up paint and plants from the market. Then I sprayed (喷) the basket. I never seemed to be able to add enough color to the basket. I figured it might look better when it dried. Next morning, although I followed a number of online recommendations, I found my workspace was a mess after watering my precious plants in their new home.
The process of turning trash into treasures was stressful, but the finished products have found a place in my home. Unconsciously, I have fallen in love with it and hopefully, I will gain some of the skills that will take my game to the next level next year.
24. Why did the author regard the editor’s suggestion as a challenge
A. For lack of enough time.
B. For being short of creative ideas.
C. For the complexity of the task.
D. For being inexperienced in recycling.
25. Which word best describes the author’s character according to paragraph 2
A. Conservative. B. Flexible.
C. Sensitive. D. Modest.
26. What inspired the author to grow plants
A. A planting project. B. An article about gardening.
C. The editor’s words. D. The items found in the Goodwill.
27. What does the author’s upcycling lead to finally
A. A messy workspace. B. A new career path.
C. Valued parts of home. D. Better painting skills.
C
A fresh start may motivate many people to break bad habits. Some are easier to shake than others, and the tendency to procrastinate (拖延) is among the most difficult.
“At its heart, procrastination is about avoidance,” Fuschia Sirois, a professor of psychology at Durham University in the U.K., told Live Science. Rather than the task itself, however, it’s often the feelings attached to an activity that cause people to duck.
Tackling the first line of a college essay may bring feelings of self-doubt, for example. When you’re faced with a broad question or topic to write about, the lack of clear instructions can cause a fear of not getting it right or of what might happen if you get it wrong. Procrastination is a specific form of delay that is both unnecessary and voluntary, meaning it isn’t caused by a person’s need to prioritize (按优先顺序排列) other tasks or by an unforeseen emergency.
“Procrastination becomes a quick, easy way of dealing with something,” Sirois said. But it can pile on more pressure by leaving a task hanging over a person’s head, thus resulting in a harmful cycle that can damage mental health (such as higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression), lower academic performance and lead to financial hardship.
Luckily for those of you who drag your feet, research has shown that besides managing emotions, taking a step back when a task feels stressful to assess what feelings the situation has brought about and why you wish to avoid them can help. “In the case of a work assignment, finding something meaningful about the task and rewarding yourself for finishing it might also be helpful,” Sirois said. “But if this is the year you want to stop procrastinating, let your resolution be to stop being too self-critical. Letting your procrastination go is effective in reducing procrastination in the future,” she added.
28. What does Sirois think contributes to procrastination
A. Inability to prioritize tasks. B. Negative emotions about the task.
C. Great difficulty of the activity. D. Lack of time management skills.
29. Why is procrastination different from other forms of delay
A. It arises from personal choice. B. It happens more unnoticeably.
C. It takes more effort to overcome. D. It relates to unknown emergency.
30. Which aspect of procrastination is mainly talked about in paragraph 4
A. Its definition. B. Its function.
C. Its consequences. D. Its causes.
31. What does Sirois suggest at last
A. Analyzing tasks in detail.
B. Rewarding yourself for daily success.
C. Monitoring emotions on purpose.
D. Avoiding too much focus on procrastination.
D
There are many potential sources of clean energy out there: solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen-based energy, and more. One of the less-known sources of clean energy is wave energy. Now the energy is being put to use in an almost funny way, turning seawater into drinking water by Oneka, a Canadian startup.
In general, there are two traditional kinds of desalination (脱盐) technology. In the first technology, seawater is heated till the water changes into steam, leaving the salt behind, and then the steam is cooled, turning into water and available for use. In the second one, seawater is pushed through a see-through thin material, separating the salt and the water, which consumes relatively less fuel compared with the first technology. Whichever technology is used, however, most desalination plants run on non-renewable energy.
Desalination equipment is traditionally powered by fossil (化石) fuels, but the world has certainly reached a vital point where it’s necessary to move away from fossil fuel powered desalination. This is where Oneka’s unique desalination technology comes in, which uses floating desalination machines. They are attached to a kind of floating device which absorbs energy from the ocean waves and changes it into mechanical forces to pump (抽运) the water through the see-through thin material system. Eventually, the fresh water is pumped to land.
The waste from conventional desalination plants contains high concentrations of salt which is discharged into the sea, creating a zone where sea life dies off. Oneka’s technology steers clear of this, because the water that streams back into the ocean only has a 30 percent increase in the salt concentration, and is quickly spread by the waves.
This innovative technology shows us that sometimes the solutions to complicated (复杂的) problems don’t have to be complicated at all. Sometimes all you need is the ocean waves.
32. What is the first technology in paragraph 2 like
A. It is labor-wasting. B. It is energy-hungry.
C. It removes salt from gas. D. It betters the second one.
33. What can we learn about Oneka’s technology
A. It’s slightly complicated. B. It leaves little salt behind.
C. It’s mechanically driven. D. It reshapes fresh water storage.
34. What does the underlined phrase “steers clear of” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Avoids. B. Improves.
C. Replaces. D. Achieves.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Floating Desalination Machines B. Sea Waves: A New Clean Energy
C. Wave-powered Green Desalination D. Desalination: The Future of Fresh Water

The summer finally came. That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to learn to swim and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again.
Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious (有感染力的), and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision!
Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声).
At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged.
“That’s horrible!” I shouted loudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted (轻拍) my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires ...” The lady introduced herself as Alison. She gave me a “lecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration.

参考答案
第一部分 听力
1—5 ACCBB 6—10 CCABC 11—15 CBCAB 16—20 CAAAB
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者介绍了四个能跟野生动物近距离接触的行程。
21. A 细节理解题。根据Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya部分中的“Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them.”可知,在雷泰蒂大象保护区,游客可以喂象宝宝。故选A。
22. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs.”可知,新西兰到处都是罕见的动物,比如楔齿蜥,它在人类文明出现之前就生活在地球上(该信息表明它是史前动物),它的近亲在恐龙时代就灭绝了。因此,史前动物爱好者最有可能会去新西兰。故选D。
23. C 目的意图题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中的“There’s no better way for us to learn about the amazing creatures that share our planet than up-close and personal animal encounters.”以及下文小标题中的“Ocean Creatures”“Baby Elephants”“Rhinos (犀牛)”“Rare Animals”可知,本文主要向读者推荐了四个可以和野生动物近距离接触的行程。故选C。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者成功挑战“变废为宝”的奇特经历。
24. D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I was doubtful about my ability to turn trash (废物) into treasures.”、第二段中的“I was not especially handy”和倒数第二段中的“my limited skills left me with few tools at home”可知,作者由于不擅长做手工,缺乏相关经验,所以认为主编的建议是一项挑战。故选D。
25. A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was not especially handy, so I didn’t want to use anything easily breakable or damage an old hardcover book for the purpose of decoration.”可知,作者不是特别手巧,所以不想用任何易碎的东西,也不想为了装饰而弄坏一本旧的精装书。由此可推断出作者是一个不愿冒险的、谨慎的人。conservative“不愿冒险的,谨慎的”;flexible“能适应新情况的,灵活的”;sensitive“敏感的”;modest“谦虚的”。故选A。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I thought back to an article I once wrote on container gardening and decided that I could make a pretty planter out of almost anything.”以及下文作者制作花盆种植植物可知,作者从自己写过的一篇关于容器园艺的文章中获得了灵感。故选B。
27. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The process of turning trash into treasures was stressful, but the finished products have found a place in my home. Unconsciously, I have fallen in love with it”可知,尽管“变废为宝”的过程让人很有压力,但成品最终成了作者家中的宝贝,作者也不知不觉爱上了“变废为宝”。故选C。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拖延形成的本质,并提出了可行的对抗拖延的方案。
28. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“procrastination is about avoidance”和“Rather than the task itself, however, it’s often the feelings attached to an activity that cause people to duck.”可知,Sirois认为拖延与逃避有关,通常是与活动相联系的(负面)情感导致人们回避,而不是任务本身。故选B。
29. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Procrastination is a specific form of delay that is both unnecessary and voluntary, meaning it isn’t caused by a person’s need to prioritize (按优先顺序排列) other tasks or by an unforeseen emergency.”可知,拖延是一种既不必要又自愿的特定延迟形式,不是由需要优先处理其他任务或不可预测的紧急情况造成的。由此可推知,拖延是个人选择。故选A。
30. C 段落大意题。第四段主要介绍拖延是一种快速简单的应对某件事的方法,但拖延会让任务悬而未决从而施加更多压力,形成一个恶性循环,这个循环可能会损害心理健康(比如导致更高水平的压力、焦虑和抑郁),降低学业成绩,并造成经济困难。由此可知,本段重在介绍拖延的后果。故选C。
31. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But if this is the year you want to stop procrastinating, let your resolution be to stop being too self-critical. Letting your procrastination go is effective in reducing procrastination in the future”可知,Sirois认为如果想要停止拖延,那么就坚决停止过度自我批评,停止关注拖延在减少以后的拖延方面是有效的,即避免太过关注拖延。故选D。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了利用波浪能淡化海水的新技术。
32. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中对第一种技术的描述“seawater is heated till the water changes into steam, leaving the salt behind, and then the steam is cooled, turning into water and available for use”和对第二种技术的描述“In the second one, seawater is pushed through a see-through thin material, separating the salt and the water, which consumes relatively less fuel compared with the first technology.”可知,第一种技术涉及加热海水直到其变成蒸汽,然后蒸汽冷却成水,制得可用的淡水,这个过程会消耗较多的能源。另外,对比第一种技术,第二种消耗的燃料更少,说明第一种技术能耗大。故选B。
33. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is where Oneka’s unique desalination technology comes in, which uses floating desalination machines. They are attached to a kind of floating device which absorbs energy from the ocean waves and changes it into mechanical forces to pump (抽运) the water through the see-through thin material system.”可知,Oneka的技术使用的是漂浮的脱盐机器,机器连接到一种漂浮的设备上,然后这种设备从海浪中吸收能量并将其转化为机械力,通过透明的薄材料系统抽出水。即Oneka的技术是通过机械力驱动的。故选C。
34. A 词义猜测题。画线短语后面的“this”指的是“排放高盐度废弃物产生死水区,导致海洋生物死亡”这个问题,再根据画线短语后的进一步说明“because the water that streams back into the ocean only has a 30 percent increase in the salt concentration, and is quickly spread by the waves”可以推断,Oneka的机器往海水中排放的废水盐度很低,避免了传统脱盐工厂排放高盐度废弃物产生死水区,导致海洋生物死亡的问题。故A项“避免”与画线短语的含义相近。故选A。
35. C 标题概括题。通读文章可知,本文主要讲述的是加拿大初创公司Oneka如何利用波浪能(一种清洁能源)并结合其独特的脱盐技术将海水转换成饮用水,其中第三段详细描述了Oneka的这种由波浪能驱动的绿色脱盐技术。C项“波浪能驱动的绿色脱盐”涵盖了文章讨论的波浪能及其在脱盐过程中的应用,是对全文内容的准确概括。故选C。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个做团体志愿服务的主意。
36. E 空前提到团体志愿服务项目是一种多人服务计划,可以改善志愿者所在的城镇、地区甚至世界;空后提到这会鼓励他们为社区做贡献。由此可知,空处应是对团体志愿服务的特征或者影响的描述,且涉及空后“that”的指代内容。E项“这些项目能够给予团队成员一个共同的目标”说明了团体志愿服务的作用,与上下文衔接紧密,符合语境。空后的“that”指代的是E项中的“a shared purpose”;E项中的“shared”与上文中的“Group”相呼应。故选E。
37. D 本段介绍的团体志愿服务想法是帮助无家可归者。空前提到,一份官方报告显示,现在北美洲有三百多万人无家可归。空后提到,然而,你可以通过志愿服务来帮助无家可归的人。例如,你可以与当地的救济食品发放中心或无家可归者收容所合作,帮助筹集资金、提供食物或收集捐款。由此可知,空处所填内容应涉及人们对无家可归者的态度,且能够与下文构成转折关系。D项“不幸的是,许多人忽视了这点”表明无家可归者的现状未受到重视,他们面临的问题未得到相应的解决,与空后志愿者可以做的事情构成转折关系,符合语境。故选D。

第二节
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者害怕针,直到最近才克服对抽血的恐惧,所以第一次在纽约的一个针灸馆做针灸时,她内心很忐忑,但结果让作者很意外,针灸让作者完全平静下来,把注意力从那些给她造成压力的事情上移开,专注于她的健康。
56. was offered 考查时态和语态。所以,当我第一次有机会尝试用针灸来缓解我的焦虑和紧张时,我感到不安。分析句子结构可知,空处为谓语;结合下文作者针灸的经历可知,作者有了(即被提供了)针灸的机会,所以此处主语I与offer之间是被动关系,再根据主句用的一般过去时可知,从句也用一般过去时。故填was offered。

61. the 考查冠词。插入所有针后,她解释说,我将在接下来的20到25分钟保持这一姿势趴着,让它们发挥魔力。此处的position特指上文的“settled facedown onto the heated table and comfortably lay there”。故填定冠词the。
62. them 考查代词。此处是let sth. do sth.结构,空处为宾语,故用代词宾格,指针灸的那些针。故填them。
63. described 考查非谓语动词。将针插入身体某些部位这一想法被大声向我描述出来时,听起来像是一部恐怖片。此处是状语从句的省略结构,主句主语是The idea,与describe之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词形式。故填described。
pletely 考查词性转换。空处修饰形容词different,应用complete的副词形式。completely“彻底地,完全地,完整地”。故填completely。
65. and 考查连词。这种方法让我完全平静下来,把注意力从那些给我造成压力的事情上移开,专注于我的健康。结合句意并分析句子结构可知,空后是省略to的不定式,与to calm down totally并列。故填and。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文:
Nowadays, people have different attitudes to the introduction of pre-made dishes to schools, which sparked a heated debate in our class last week.
Forty-three percent of us held the view that introducing this kind of dishes can enrich the choice of diet. In the meanwhile, it can reduce labour costs. The rest focused on whether such dishes kept in freezers are nutritious. Apart from this, nutrient loss is unavoidable during the heating process.
As far as I’m concerned, I hold a positive attitude to them because they enable us to taste different food at a relatively low price. As long as food safety is guaranteed, there is no need to worry.
第二节
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
“Why not try one more time ” said Alison. I hesitated, and then murmured, “Perhaps I should.” Her smile broadened in response, “That’s the spirit!” With the swimming ring serving as safety net, I practiced what she taught. After getting used to floating, I tried to imitate (模仿) her movements. My efforts at first were awkward, yet she reassured me that it was all part and parcel of the learning process. Standing by the pool, she applauded every small victory. Hours later, though I wasn’t swimming like the others, I succeeded in taking the first steps.
Paragraph 2:
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I knew what I needed to do. The following morning found me at the gym once more, where only a few early swimmers dotted the pool. Gazing at the inviting blue water of the pool, now a familiar friend, I jumped in with newfound determination. Stroke after stroke, breath after breath, I practiced. Finally, my arms, no longer tentative (迟疑的), cut through the water with purpose. My legs followed, kicking rhythmically. I knew I had learned swimming and a valuable lesson— being patient.

参考答案
第一部分 听力
1—5 ACCBB 6—10 CCABC 11—15 CBCAB 16—20 CAAAB
第二部分 阅读
第一节
A篇
本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者介绍了四个能跟野生动物近距离接触的行程。
21. A 细节理解题。根据Helping Baby Elephants in Kenya部分中的“Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is children’s favorite place. This center is set up to save baby elephants, and visitors can interact with the babies while giving food to them.”可知,在雷泰蒂大象保护区,游客可以喂象宝宝。故选A。
22. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“New Zealand is filled with unique animals, like the tuatara, an animal that lived on Earth before the emergence of human civilization and its closest relative died out during the age of the dinosaurs.”可知,新西兰到处都是罕见的动物,比如楔齿蜥,它在人类文明出现之前就生活在地球上(该信息表明它是史前动物),它的近亲在恐龙时代就灭绝了。因此,史前动物爱好者最有可能会去新西兰。故选D。
23. C 目的意图题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中的“There’s no better way for us to learn about the amazing creatures that share our planet than up-close and personal animal encounters.”以及下文小标题中的“Ocean Creatures”“Baby Elephants”“Rhinos (犀牛)”“Rare Animals”可知,本文主要向读者推荐了四个可以和野生动物近距离接触的行程。故选C。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者成功挑战“变废为宝”的奇特经历。
24. D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I was doubtful about my ability to turn trash (废物) into treasures.”、第二段中的“I was not especially handy”和倒数第二段中的“my limited skills left me with few tools at home”可知,作者由于不擅长做手工,缺乏相关经验,所以认为主编的建议是一项挑战。故选D。
25. A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was not especially handy, so I didn’t want to use anything easily breakable or damage an old hardcover book for the purpose of decoration.”可知,作者不是特别手巧,所以不想用任何易碎的东西,也不想为了装饰而弄坏一本旧的精装书。由此可推断出作者是一个不愿冒险的、谨慎的人。conservative“不愿冒险的,谨慎的”;flexible“能适应新情况的,灵活的”;sensitive“敏感的”;modest“谦虚的”。故选A。
26. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I thought back to an article I once wrote on container gardening and decided that I could make a pretty planter out of almost anything.”以及下文作者制作花盆种植植物可知,作者从自己写过的一篇关于容器园艺的文章中获得了灵感。故选B。
27. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The process of turning trash into treasures was stressful, but the finished products have found a place in my home. Unconsciously, I have fallen in love with it”可知,尽管“变废为宝”的过程让人很有压力,但成品最终成了作者家中的宝贝,作者也不知不觉爱上了“变废为宝”。故选C。
C篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拖延形成的本质,并提出了可行的对抗拖延的方案。
28. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“procrastination is about avoidance”和“Rather than the task itself, however, it’s often the feelings attached to an activity that cause people to duck.”可知,Sirois认为拖延与逃避有关,通常是与活动相联系的(负面)情感导致人们回避,而不是任务本身。故选B。
29. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Procrastination is a specific form of delay that is both unnecessary and voluntary, meaning it isn’t caused by a person’s need to prioritize (按优先顺序排列) other tasks or by an unforeseen emergency.”可知,拖延是一种既不必要又自愿的特定延迟形式,不是由需要优先处理其他任务或不可预测的紧急情况造成的。由此可推知,拖延是个人选择。故选A。
30. C 段落大意题。第四段主要介绍拖延是一种快速简单的应对某件事的方法,但拖延会让任务悬而未决从而施加更多压力,形成一个恶性循环,这个循环可能会损害心理健康(比如导致更高水平的压力、焦虑和抑郁),降低学业成绩,并造成经济困难。由此可知,本段重在介绍拖延的后果。故选C。
31. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But if this is the year you want to stop procrastinating, let your resolution be to stop being too self-critical. Letting your procrastination go is effective in reducing procrastination in the future”可知,Sirois认为如果想要停止拖延,那么就坚决停止过度自我批评,停止关注拖延在减少以后的拖延方面是有效的,即避免太过关注拖延。故选D。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了利用波浪能淡化海水的新技术。
32. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中对第一种技术的描述“seawater is heated till the water changes into steam, leaving the salt behind, and then the steam is cooled, turning into water and available for use”和对第二种技术的描述“In the second one, seawater is pushed through a see-through thin material, separating the salt and the water, which consumes relatively less fuel compared with the first technology.”可知,第一种技术涉及加热海水直到其变成蒸汽,然后蒸汽冷却成水,制得可用的淡水,这个过程会消耗较多的能源。另外,对比第一种技术,第二种消耗的燃料更少,说明第一种技术能耗大。故选B。
33. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is where Oneka’s unique desalination technology comes in, which uses floating desalination machines. They are attached to a kind of floating device which absorbs energy from the ocean waves and changes it into mechanical forces to pump (抽运) the water through the see-through thin material system.”可知,Oneka的技术使用的是漂浮的脱盐机器,机器连接到一种漂浮的设备上,然后这种设备从海浪中吸收能量并将其转化为机械力,通过透明的薄材料系统抽出水。即Oneka的技术是通过机械力驱动的。故选C。
34. A 词义猜测题。画线短语后面的“this”指的是“排放高盐度废弃物产生死水区,导致海洋生物死亡”这个问题,再根据画线短语后的进一步说明“because the water that streams back into the ocean only has a 30 percent increase in the salt concentration, and is quickly spread by the waves”可以推断,Oneka的机器往海水中排放的废水盐度很低,避免了传统脱盐工厂排放高盐度废弃物产生死水区,导致海洋生物死亡的问题。故A项“避免”与画线短语的含义相近。故选A。
35. C 标题概括题。通读文章可知,本文主要讲述的是加拿大初创公司Oneka如何利用波浪能(一种清洁能源)并结合其独特的脱盐技术将海水转换成饮用水,其中第三段详细描述了Oneka的这种由波浪能驱动的绿色脱盐技术。C项“波浪能驱动的绿色脱盐”涵盖了文章讨论的波浪能及其在脱盐过程中的应用,是对全文内容的准确概括。故选C。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四个做团体志愿服务的主意。
36. E 空前提到团体志愿服务项目是一种多人服务计划,可以改善志愿者所在的城镇、地区甚至世界;空后提到这会鼓励他们为社区做贡献。由此可知,空处应是对团体志愿服务的特征或者影响的描述,且涉及空后“that”的指代内容。E项“这些项目能够给予团队成员一个共同的目标”说明了团体志愿服务的作用,与上下文衔接紧密,符合语境。空后的“that”指代的是E项中的“a shared purpose”;E项中的“shared”与上文中的“Group”相呼应。故选E。
37. D 本段介绍的团体志愿服务想法是帮助无家可归者。空前提到,一份官方报告显示,现在北美洲有三百多万人无家可归。空后提到,然而,你可以通过志愿服务来帮助无家可归的人。例如,你可以与当地的救济食品发放中心或无家可归者收容所合作,帮助筹集资金、提供食物或收集捐款。由此可知,空处所填内容应涉及人们对无家可归者的态度,且能够与下文构成转折关系。D项“不幸的是,许多人忽视了这点”表明无家可归者的现状未受到重视,他们面临的问题未得到相应的解决,与空后志愿者可以做的事情构成转折关系,符合语境。故选D。
38. A 空处为段落主旨句。根据空后内容可知,如果你的团队中有热衷于种菜的成员,这个志愿服务想法可能非常适合你们。这是与附近居民建立联系并享受户外活动的绝佳方式。此外,你还可以和整个社区分享你努力工作的成果。由此可知,本段介绍的团队志愿服务想法应与园艺有关,且受益的不仅是个人,还有整个社区。故A项“为社区打造一个园子”符合语境。故选A。
39. F 本段主要介绍的是举办社区清洁活动。空前提到社区清洁活动将人们团结在一起,改善他们的环境,同时加强邻居和志愿者之间的社会联系。这些活动可以使社区变得美丽,并为创造一个更健康的环境做出贡献。这些都是进行社区清洁活动的作用或者产生的影响。由此可知,空处应继续介绍社区清洁活动的影响或者对前面提到的各种影响进行总结。故F项“它们还能激发当地人的自豪感和责任感”符合语境。故选F。
40. C 本段介绍的是收集并赠送宠物食品。空前提到,如果你正在寻找一种收集宠物食品的方式,那么可以前往你所在社区的宠物商店,或向家人和朋友寻求捐赠。空后提到这样团队成员就可以在这个活动里通过清洁动物获取宠物食品。由此可知,空处应说明在什么样的活动中团队成员可以通过清洁动物获得宠物食品。C项“你还可以组织‘宠物洗护’活动”与上下文衔接紧密,符合语境。C项中的“Pet Wash”与空后的“clean animals”和“this activity”照应。故选C。

54. D 考查介词短语辨析。根据下文中的“Hallee’s parents have watched their daughter’s competition so many times, their hearts still burst with pride”可知,此处指尽管Hallee的父母看了这么多次女儿的比赛,他们还是为女儿感到骄傲。due to“由于”;along with“连同……一起,同时”;except for“除了”;even though“尽管,即使”。故选D。
55. A 考查形容词辨析。根据第一段和第三段内容可知,此处描述人们对Hallee看法的改变,表示人们开始意识到Hallee能够做任何事。capable“有能力的,有才能的”;fond“喜爱”;proud“自豪的,得意的,引以为荣的”;mindful“记着,想着,考虑到”。故选A。
第二节
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者害怕针,直到最近才克服对抽血的恐惧,所以第一次在纽约的一个针灸馆做针灸时,她内心很忐忑,但结果让作者很意外,针灸让作者完全平静下来,把注意力从那些给她造成压力的事情上移开,专注于她的健康。
56. was offered 考查时态和语态。所以,当我第一次有机会尝试用针灸来缓解我的焦虑和紧张时,我感到不安。分析句子结构可知,空处为谓语;结合下文作者针灸的经历可知,作者有了(即被提供了)针灸的机会,所以此处主语I与offer之间是被动关系,再根据主句用的一般过去时可知,从句也用一般过去时。故填was offered。
57. tension 考查词性转换。空处与anxiety并列作宾语,应用tense的名词形式。tension“(情绪上的)紧张,烦躁”。故填tension。
58. what 考查宾语从句。我的针灸师首先询问我希望通过完成这次治疗达到什么目的。空处引导宾语从句,在句中作achieve的宾语。故填what。
59. under 考查固定搭配。然后,在针灸师的指导下,我面朝下舒适地趴在加热的床上。under the guidance of sb.“在某人的指导下”为固定搭配。故填under。
60. hitting 考查非谓语动词。她把细如发丝的针插入我的脚踝,慢慢地向上,刺中我全身的某些部位,直到她针灸到我的头部。空处是非谓语,此处hit是与“worked her way up”的动作同时发生的,且主语She与hit之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填hitting。
61. the 考查冠词。插入所有针后,她解释说,我将在接下来的20到25分钟保持这一姿势趴着,让它们发挥魔力。此处的position特指上文的“settled facedown onto the heated table and comfortably lay there”。故填定冠词the。
62. them 考查代词。此处是let sth. do sth.结构,空处为宾语,故用代词宾格,指针灸的那些针。故填them。
63. described 考查非谓语动词。将针插入身体某些部位这一想法被大声向我描述出来时,听起来像是一部恐怖片。此处是状语从句的省略结构,主句主语是The idea,与describe之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词形式。故填described。
pletely 考查词性转换。空处修饰形容词different,应用complete的副词形式。completely“彻底地,完全地,完整地”。故填completely。
65. and 考查连词。这种方法让我完全平静下来,把注意力从那些给我造成压力的事情上移开,专注于我的健康。结合句意并分析句子结构可知,空后是省略to的不定式,与to calm down totally并列。故填and。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文:
Nowadays, people have different attitudes to the introduction of pre-made dishes to schools, which sparked a heated debate in our class last week.
Forty-three percent of us held the view that introducing this kind of dishes can enrich the choice of diet. In the meanwhile, it can reduce labour costs. The rest focused on whether such dishes kept in freezers are nutritious. Apart from this, nutrient loss is unavoidable during the heating process.
As far as I’m concerned, I hold a positive attitude to them because they enable us to taste different food at a relatively low price. As long as food safety is guaranteed, there is no need to worry.
第二节
参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
“Why not try one more time ” said Alison. I hesitated, and then murmured, “Perhaps I should.” Her smile broadened in response, “That’s the spirit!” With the swimming ring serving as safety net, I practiced what she taught. After getting used to floating, I tried to imitate (模仿) her movements. My efforts at first were awkward, yet she reassured me that it was all part and parcel of the learning process. Standing by the pool, she applauded every small victory. Hours later, though I wasn’t swimming like the others, I succeeded in taking the first steps.
Paragraph 2:
As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I knew what I needed to do. The following morning found me at the gym once more, where only a few early swimmers dotted the pool. Gazing at the inviting blue water of the pool, now a familiar friend, I jumped in with newfound determination. Stroke after stroke, breath after breath, I practiced. Finally, my arms, no longer tentative (迟疑的), cut through the water with purpose. My legs followed, kicking rhythmically. I knew I had learned swimming and a valuable lesson— being patient.

W: Good morning, everyone. Now I’d like to tell you something about our Hudson Way’s Immersion (沉浸) Summer Camps. The camps provide an opportunity for campers to improve their language skills. Campers will be grouped by age or ability. The camps do not just allow campers to improve their language skills, but allow them to experience foreign cultures as well. In each weekly class, campers have the opportunity to explore an aspect of Mandarin (普通话) or Spanish in depth, including art, architecture, food, music, and dance. Campers will engage in hands-on (亲身实践的) activities to help them improve the target language. The camps take place in Upper West Side. There are half-day camps. They last from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. They’re for ages 3 to 5 only. Full-day camps last from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Aftercare is also provided. It’s from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm at extra cost. Kids aged from 3 to 5 will be in a group, 6 to 8 and 9 to 12 will be in the two older groups.
