二、阅读理解
Music is a proof to human creativity and expression in a language that goes beyond barriers (障碍).Let’s explore the world of music.
Classical music is a large type that includes music from the Middle Ages to the present day. Known for its rich harmonies, classical music requires a high level of skill and understanding to perform. It’s often seen as the start of many other music types.
Rock music started from rock and roll, and quickly became a force of its own. It’s known for strong and driving rhythms (节奏). Rock music has always been connected with a fight and social comments, and it’s often praised for its raw sound.
Country music is from rural American folk and Western music. Known for its storytelling, country music often features themes of love, heartbreak and everyday life. It’s characterized by its unique style, making use of instruments like the guitar, piano, banjo and fiddle.
Indie music, short for “independent (独立)”, is characterized by its being away from mainstream music rules. It often features nontraditional song structures. The indie spirits of valuing personal creativity over business success and supporting the DIY approach to recording and publishing give this type a unique and different sound.
21.Which music covers from the Middle Ages to the present day
A. Rock music. B. Country music. C. Classical music. D. Indie music.
22.What is a feature of Indie music
A. It is the start of music. B. It is themed with love.
C. It focuses on business success. D. It stresses personal creativity.
23.What does the text mainly tell us about music
A. Its development. B. Its types. C. Its instruments. D. Its birthplace.
Leah Brown aged 36 fell several hundred feet from Oregon’s highest mountain right before the eyes of a group of volunteer rescue workers who rushed to her aid and helped save her life.
The woman was coming down a popular path on Mt. Hood, about 70 miles east of Portland, on Saturday morning, according to the local police. Mt. Hood is the highest in Oregon, standing at around 11,240 feet.
The fall was seen by members of Portland Mountain Rescue (PMR), a volunteer organization focused on helping people in mountainous areas. The group called 911 and rushed to the woman, providing medical care. They helped keep the woman warm for seven hours as the police worked to get her off the mountain safely. Finally, the woman was evacuated (转移) to a parking lot at 9:30 pm and taken to a hospital.
The climber, Leah Brown, said she didn’t know what caused her fall. “I can only guess it was either an ice tool or a crampon (冰爪) that didn’t land and stick like it should have, so I became detached from the mountain,” Brown said. “The thing I’d like to most stress is my appreciation for the members of PMR who evacuated me and took good care of me the whole time,” Brown added. “They saved my life.”
In a statement after the rescue, PMR warned of the dangerous winter conditions at the mountain. “The short days and lower temperatures mean that the snow tends to be very hard and icy, and the conditions tend to be much steeper. Climbing the mountain in icy conditions is much more difficult,” the group said.
24.What happened to Brown on Saturday morning
A. She lost her way in a forest. B. She hurt her eye unexpectedly.
C. She fell down on a downhill path. D. She failed to call her family.
25.What does the underlined word “detached” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Separated. B. Hidden. C. Different. D. Tired.
26.How did Brown feel about the members of PMR
A. Regretful. B. Thankful. C. Surprised. D. Concerned.
27.What did PMR intend to tell us
A. Climbing requires teamwork. B. Climbing in winter is too risky.
C. We must remain positive in hard times. D. We can admire the view on sunny days.
Our two-year investigation into caged (关在笼中) tigers in America sent us through 32 US states—with some truly shocking experiences. But as the deadline neared, I still needed a powerful and hopeful image.
When we began our reporting in 2017—Sharon, writing; me taking photos; and our son, Nick Ruggia, filming—more tigers likely lived in cages in the US than remained in the wild. The number ranged from 5,000 to 10,000, but without strict government oversight, no one knew for sure.
Roadside zoos that allowed tourists to take pictures of young tigers were the main cause of what’s been called a US tiger crisis(危机). Caged cats often ended up in the illegal wildlife trade. Young tigers, parted from their mothers at birth, were fed poorly and touched by hundreds of people. When they grew too big and dangerous to pet at around 12 weeks, young tigers were put on show, or simply disappeared.
While we documented the unpleasant part of this industry, we also wanted to show the good life these impressive animals could have. With two weeks left before my deadline, I headed to the Wild Animal Sanctuary near Denver, where well-cared cats walked freely in their habitat.
There I met Clay, Daniel, and Enzo, three of 39 tigers rescued from an animal park in Oklahoma. These nearly grown cats raced beside our car, which I’d seen only in the wild. It was a hot July day, and soon two of the cats jumped into a pool to cool off. The third rested beside them on the ground. I crossed the road to take a picture of them. Then quietly, I came up close, trying not to disturb (打扰) them. I had the shot.
28.Why did the author start her reporting
A. To dig out the dark truth of caged tigers.
B. To explore the amazing land in the country.
C. To tell people that baby tigers are harmless.
D. To share the happy moment during the trip.
29.What is the main cause of the US tiger crisis according to the text
A. Forest fires. B. Climate change. C. Water pollution. D. Roadside zoos.
30.What can we learn about these young tigers from paragraph 3
A. They prefer to stay indoors. B. They get used to the changes.
C. They are badly treated. D. They are traded legally.
31.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the Wild Animal Sanctuary
A. To praise her family for their effort. B. To show some tigers lead an easy life.
C. To introduce a special kind of tigers. D. To explain what the animals suffered.
People tend to use trees for papermaking. But maybe electronics (电子) engineers are missing out on something here. “It turns out that two major building blocks of wood have a lot of electrical qualities,” says Magnus Berggren, a professor at Link ping University.
His team has been working to make parts for electronics from the forest. Right now, they’re focusing on two materials of trees. The first material is cellulose, which can make energy. Lignin, the second material, can store that energy, just as a battery does. The team has found when pressed, cellulose can produce electricity.
Some device must then store the electricity until it’s needed. Batteries can do this. But batteries aren’t very green. They have harmful materials. That’s where lignin comes in.
Batteries cause electrons to flow from one place to another, which can produce electricity. In a typical battery, one material must give electrons. The other must accept them. Lignin can do both. A weak acid (酸) encourages lignin to produce electrons. “With a metal wire (金属线) to guide those electrons, you’ll have electricity,” says Berggren.
Berggren’s team use this quality to create its new lignin-based battery. Typical batteries use a metal wire as a path to guide the flow of electrons into or out of the device. But since Berggren wants to make a battery of the forest, he looks for a natural way. Once again, he turns to cellulose.
This natural material can serve as a wire-like path for electrons. To make it work well, Berggren lines them with another chemical known as PEDOT, which isn’t from a tree. But when PEDOT is added to cellulose, they can conduct electricity like a wire. “With a weak acid, now you have a battery,” Berggren says. “And two of its three materials come from the forest.”
Berggren can imagine one day having mobile phone batteries made largely from forest products. Tree-based electronics might also be useful in lighting.
32.What is cellulose used to do in the study
A. Act as a weak acid. B. Collect rainwater.
C. Produce electricity. D. Make quality paper.
33.Which best describes the new battery
A. Well-received. B. Eco-friendly. C. Harmful. D. Heavy.
34.What can we expect of tree-based electronics
A. They may change farming practices. B. They might save a lot of wood.
C. They would serve the elderly. D. They could light the rooms.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Green Way to Make and Store Energy B. An Attempt to Raise Power Production
C. Practical Suggestions on Planting Trees D. Recent Advances in Mobile Phones
三、七选五
36. Getting into an air-conditioned space during extreme heat is the best way of protecting yourself against heat-related illness, Dr. Pryor says. But there are a few additional things you can do to serve the purpose.
Focus on hydrating (补水), even before you go outside
“① _______,” Dr. Pryor says. And if you know you’ll be out in the heat for a while, he recommends having a food or drink that contains electrolytes (电解质)—say, a salt y snack or sports drink—before you head outdoors, since you’ll lose a lot of them in your sweat. Both water and electrolytes will keep you hydrated.
② _______
Go for lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothes, like a cotton shirt. Heavy, form-fitting clothing obviously won’t feel great when your skin badly needs to breathe. Meanwhile, dark-colored clothes take in the sun’s heat and make you feel hotter.
Rethink your dinner menu
Cooking meals will give off a lot of heat and can make your space even steamier. ③ _______.
Cut down on exercise needing great energy
“④ _______,” Dr. Pryor says. So if you typically run three miles, you might instead run one or two during a cooler time of the day, have water with you, and take breaks to check in on how your body feels.
Take a cool shower
This kind of shower has an air conditioning effect, Dr. Pryor explains. ⑤ _______. This is also an important tip to keep in mind if someone near you is dealing with a heat stroke (中暑) situation, which is the most serious heat-related illness.
A. Choose your proper clothing
B. You’d better work out at a gym
C. Bring a change of clothes with you
D. Cool water helps lower your body temperature quickly
E. If you are going to be outside in high heat, start hydrating early
F. Exercise is OK if you know how to reduce the time of the workout
G. Instead, consider making a meal that requires no heat, like no-cook dinners

54. On rainy days, Juanita liked to climb the attic (阁楼) stairs and play with her stuffed animals (毛绒玩具) under the roof. Here she could hear the drumming sound of the rain. The attic was dark on stormy days, but Juanita thought it was comfortable to have only one light bulb (灯泡) on.
Today, Juanita was pretending that her stuffed animals were Olympic athletes. The event was the high jump, so Juanita threw them into the air to see how high they could fly. Tom, her stuffed monkey, flew so high that he hit the ceiling and went over into a dark corner.
When Juanita went to find Tom, she saw a box on the floor in the corner. It was dusty (布满灰尘的),with gold corners and a metal lock that held it shut. Its key was lying just beside it. She had never noticed this box before. What could be inside
Juanita brought the box and the key over to the middle of the attic, under the light bulb where she could see better. She opened it carefully and looked inside. Inside the box were a lot of black and white photos. Most of them were of a small girl with her hair braided (编辫子).
The girl looked just like Juanita! This was confusing. “I’ve never been to that house,” she thought as she looked through the photos. There was a gray farmhouse in the background of each picture. How could Juanita be in pictures of a place she had never been to

52.答案:are; benefits; to; fully; who/that; their; celebrated; to identify; the; traditional;
解析:①考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析该句成分可知,所填词的主语是第三人称复数,且该句表示的是一般性假设,故用 are。
②考查名词复数。根据空前的限定词many 及下文具体的好处可知,此处用所给名词的复数形式。
③考查介词。belong to 意为“属于”,为固定短语。
④考查词形转换。分析该句成分可知,所填词在此处修饰动词 define,作状语,故用所给形容词的副词形式fully。
⑤考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,所填词引导的是一个限制性定语从句,在定语从句中作主语,且先行词为 people,故填关系代词who 或 that。
⑥考查代词。此处用形容词性物主代词修饰后面的achievements。
⑦考查非谓语动词。分析该句成分可知,所填词在此处作定语,修饰 festivals。而且celebrate与festivals之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词 celebrated。
⑧考查非谓语动词。allow sb to do sth意为“允许某人做某事”,为固定搭配。
⑨考查冠词。the+比较级…, the+比较级……意为“越……越……”,为固定句式。
⑩考查词形转换。分析该句成分可知,所填词在此处作 roots的定语,故用所给名词的形容词形式。

I am writing to invite you and your family to my home for the celebration of the Chinese New Year’s Eve next Wednesday.
The New Year’s Eve is a very lively day. In the morning, we plan to do some “spring cleaning”, which is believed to sweep away the bad luck of the preceding year. And then, we will put up spring couplets to wish for a peaceful and happy new year. In the evening, we schedule a reunion dinner. After that, we will receive red packets, set off firecrackers and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
I am sure you and your family will have a good time.
Yours,
Li Hua

54.答案: Juanita ran downstairs with the photos to show her mom. “Why don’t these photos have any color When did you braid my hair And when did we visit a farm ” she breathlessly peppered her mom with questions, as she handed her mom the stack of mysterious photos. Looking at these photos, Mom laughed, “These are photos of your grandma’s when she was a little girl. This was the farm where she lived.” “Wow!” said Juanita excitedly. “I do really look just like her!”
Juanita asked her mom to take some photos for her and hang them up with Grandma’s. Mom nodded and followed Juanita to her favorite attic stairs. Under the dim light bulb, Mom recorded the happy time Juanita spent with her stuffed animals with the camera. After Mom got Juanita’s photos, she said, “Thanks for reminding me of your grandma’s photos. It was a shame to keep them up in the attic. Now, I will put both of your photos in frames and hang them in your room.” Jumping up with joy, Juanita said, “Everything made sense with those photos hung up.”
