Day Trip to Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is one of those parks whose beauty is not fully recognized by people. It is often only visited for day trips because it is close to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. It is full of elephants, zebras and lions. It also has some superb scenery to go with it. You can also see sights such as the Tarangire River.
Tarangire has the second highest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania after the Serengeti and the highest concentration of elephants in the world. It has over 700 lions living there as well as a wide selection of other animals.

In the late afternoon you will have a hot meal, and then you will leave the park and drive back to Moshi.

I opened my car window and called out “Ma’am! Ma’am!” The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. “I just wanted to tell how nice you look today,” I said. “The colors you have on are beautiful on you.” Her face registered surprise for a second, and then she smiled. “Thank you!” she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter, and I smiled to myself.
I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. When I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life, I had been confirmed depression, along with anxiety. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of recovering from this illness. With no cheerleaders in my court, I fought this battle alone. I am proud of the progress I have made thus far. There are times when I thought, if only I had had someone to hold me and say, “Susan, I believe in you. You can do this, and I’ll be there every step of the way.” I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know.
So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls. Instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long, and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do this As women, we have learned from our role models to be quiet. We downplay (淡化) our own achievements even when we do receive a rare compliment (恭维). Now, when I compliment someone and she denies, I say to her, “Just say thank you.” Most women are relieved that they don’t have to deny the compliment; they can accept the praise without guilt.
Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It only takes a few seconds, although you do have to remind yourself to do it. Eventually, it becomes a habit.
4. How did the lady feel after hearing the author’s praise
A. Delighted. B. Anxious.
C. Relaxed. D. Worried.
5. What made the author become a cheerleader
A. Her experiences.
B. Her habit.
C. Her personality.
D. Her ambition.
6. What does the author hope when she praises someone
A. She can be rewarded.
B. She can be appreciated.
C. They can accept the praise.
D. They should say something.
7. Which of the following best describes the author
A. Caring. B. Brave.
C. Outgoing. D. Honest.
C
I traveled to Hawaii several months ago, in part to cover a story on invasive plants and animals and their impact on the state. As I worked on this story, I kept thinking about the fact that some plants and animals become uncontrollably invasive when they’re brought into a new ecosystem, while others don’t. For example, over the past two hundred years or so, there have been approximately 20, 000 non-native plant species either intentionally or accidentally brought into Hawaii alone. But only a small part of those plants — 200 species or so — have become invasive, threatening the environment, the economy, or human health.
An example from Hawaii’s forests: the invasive plant strawberry guava thrives as it gives off a chemical that prevents all other plants from growing nearby, and it also absorbs more water than native species. What makes these particular species so successful Most of the reasons involve how a particular species interacts with its new environment. First, invasive species may be highly adaptable to a variety of climates. Second, they are usually quite fecund (多产的), which ensures that they can multiply rapidly. Third, they are usually threatening when it comes to resources like nutrients and space, easily crowding out their native counterparts (对应的物种). And finally, invasive species thrive when there are no natural enemies or pests in their new space.
How can we eradicate invasive species once they’re in place Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to do that — conservationists would have to notice that the species is a problem before its population has established and grown to an uncontrollable size. Instead, most conservationists battling invasive species aim for control in key ecological pockets.
It is a constant battle, though, and humans are always playing catch-up. If you’re thinking of planting unusual plants in your garden or keeping a foreign pet, perhaps reconsider and go for a native one. You never know when they might escape and tip over an ecosystem.
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. A substantial number of species in Hawaii are severely endangered.
B. Not all uncontrollably invasive species threaten the environment.
C. A small number of plants are intentionally introduced.
D Not all non-native species become invasive.
9. Which category does the reason for the strawberry guava’s thriving fall into
A. The first reason. B. The second reason.
C. The third reason. D. The last reason.
10. What is the author’s attitude toward eradicating invasive plants or animals in time
A. Unclear. B. Hopeless. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
11. What does the author suggest pet keepers do
A. Avoid the battle between native and foreign pets.
B. Create an ideal ecosystem for the pet.
C. Prevent the pet from escaping.
D. Get a native pet.
D
Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her. Educators stressed the importance of discipline and obedience(服从) within the classroom, and students were expected to follow very rigid standards for behavior and academic performance. The stated goal of this model was to ensure fairness by applying the same expectations; however, the result was that only a few students succeeded while many others were left behind.
When computers and Internet technology entered the classroom a few decades ago, another pattern appeared and progressive educators immediately saw the opportunity to change the way school worked. Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge. Not all educators welcomed this shift, however, as some believed it took power and responsibility away from the teachers and cheapened the educational experience for learners.
Over the last decade, two distinct camps of educators have emerged. Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can’t keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students’ ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world.
Regrettably, the inability of these two parties to find an agreement has prevented the growth of our education system. We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world. If we can’t get all our teachers on the same page, then we will be at risk of failing future generations.
12. Who can probably learn better under the 1945 -2000 model of education
A. Lisa who tends to read by herself. B. Michael who disciplines himself.
C. Kate who can focus on listening for long. D. Tom who prefers hands-on learning.
13. Why do some educators prefer the second education pattern
A. It allows for different learning styles. B. It has the same hope for students.
C. It fires students’ enthusiasm for learning. D. It reduces teachers’ level of stress.
14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 3
A. Two of a trade never agree. B. Everyone thinks in his way.
C. Every potter praises his pot. D. One’s words reflect one’s thinking.
15. What is the author’s understanding of a good education system
A. It’s full of well-trained subject teachers. B. It’s an accurate mirror of the real world.
C. It’s inclusive and accessible to all students. D. It’s an integration of tradition and modernity.

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。
I pulled my exhausted (精疲力竭的) body off the bed and headed out the door. Put one foot in front of the other. That is all you have to do, I told myself. I was determined (决定) to make myself walk every hour for five minutes, regardless of how terrible I felt — it would help me feel better.
My husband and I had been told by my doctor, Tiffany, that my coping strategies needed to change to effectively manage my fatigue (极度劳累). Walking was a key part of my hoped-for change. Cancer had taken so much from me, and it was time to start working my way back. With that goal in mind, I set out into my yard and began walking.
At our second meeting, Tiffany helped us set long-term goals. One of my goals was a day at a theme park, walking instead of using a wheelchair. After our meeting, I carried on with my step challenge. As the weeks progressed, I began meeting other program goals, but I still had the theme park to conquer. It frightened me to risk a whole day on my feet.
The day finally came, and we went to SeaWorld. As we walked into the park, the sun was shining. Over the speakers, Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” played. “This is my fight song, take back my life song ...” she sang. Tears glistened (闪光) on my face, and my husband looked at me with concern. Our teenage daughter saw the worry in his eyes and looked at me. When we shared a knowing smile, my daughter said, “Don’t worry, Dad. That’s Mom’s song.”
In the early days of this cancer journey, she had left something at home after leaving for school and had found me balled up in bed, crying from the pain, with “Fight Song” on repeat. I told her it was my “fight song” and I would be fine finally. She gave me a hug before returning to her father’s waiting truck. Clearly, she hadn’t told him about that.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I walked from show to show that day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My body cooperated (配合) on some days and let me down on others but I kept walking.

I am proud of the progress I have made thus far. There are times when I thought, if only I had had someone to hold me and say, “Susan, I believe in you. You can do this, and I’ll be there every step of the way.” I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know.
So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls. Instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long, and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do this As women, we have learned from our role models to be quiet. We downplay (淡化) our own achievements even when we do receive a rare compliment (恭维). Now, when I compliment someone and she denies, I say to her, “Just say thank you.” Most women are relieved that they don’t have to deny the compliment; they can accept the praise without guilt.
Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It only takes a few seconds, although you do have to remind yourself to do it. Eventually, it becomes a habit.

I traveled to Hawaii several months ago, in part to cover a story on invasive plants and animals and their impact on the state. As I worked on this story, I kept thinking about the fact that some plants and animals become uncontrollably invasive when they’re brought into a new ecosystem, while others don’t. For example, over the past two hundred years or so, there have been approximately 20, 000 non-native plant species either intentionally or accidentally brought into Hawaii alone. But only a small part of those plants — 200 species or so — have become invasive, threatening the environment, the economy, or human health.
An example from Hawaii’s forests: the invasive plant strawberry guava thrives as it gives off a chemical that prevents all other plants from growing nearby, and it also absorbs more water than native species. What makes these particular species so successful Most of the reasons involve how a particular species interacts with its new environment. First, invasive species may be highly adaptable to a variety of climates. Second, they are usually quite fecund (多产的), which ensures that they can multiply rapidly. Third, they are usually threatening when it comes to resources like nutrients and space, easily crowding out their native counterparts (对应的物种). And finally, invasive species thrive when there are no natural enemies or pests in their new space.
How can we eradicate invasive species once they’re in place Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to do that — conservationists would have to notice that the species is a problem before its population has established and grown to an uncontrollable size. Instead, most conservationists battling invasive species aim for control in key ecological pockets.
It is a constant battle, though, and humans are always playing catch-up. If you’re thinking of planting unusual plants in your garden or keeping a foreign pet, perhaps reconsider and go for a native one. You never know when they might escape and tip over an ecosystem.
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A. A substantial number of species in Hawaii are severely endangered.
B. Not all uncontrollably invasive species threaten the environment.
C. A small number of plants are intentionally introduced.
D. Not all non-native species become invasive.
9. Which category does the reason for the strawberry guava’s thriving fall into
A. The first reason. B. The second reason.
C. The third reason. D. The last reason.
10. What is the author’s attitude toward eradicating invasive plants or animals in time
A. Unclear. B. Hopeless. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
11. What does the author suggest pet keepers do
A. Avoid the battle between native and foreign pets.
B. Create an ideal ecosystem for the pet.
C. Prevent the pet from escaping.
D. Get a native pet.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了入侵物种一些知识。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“As I worked on this story, I kept thinking about the fact that some plants and animals become uncontrollably invasive when they’re brought into a new ecosystem, while others don’t.(在我写这个报道的过程中，我一直在思考这样一个事实，即一些动植物在被带到一个新的生态系统中时会变得不可控制地具有入侵性，而另一些则不然。)”可知，第一段主要讲述了并不是所有的非本土物种都会有入侵性，有些有，另一些则没有。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“An example from Hawaii’s forests: the invasive plant strawberry guava thrives as it gives off a chemical that prevents all other plants from growing nearby, and it also absorbs more water than native species.(夏威夷森林中的一个例子是：入侵植物草莓番石榴生长旺盛，因为它释放出一种化学物质，阻止所有其他植物在附近生长，而且它比本地物种吸收更多的水。)”和“Third, they are usually threatening when it comes to resources like nutrients and space, easily crowding out their native counterparts (对应的物种).(第三，当涉及到营养和空间等资源时，它们通常具有威胁性，很容易排挤本土对应的物种。)”可知，入侵植物草莓番石榴会释放一种化学物质来阻止其他植物在附近成长，而且会抢占更多的水，符合第三条原因。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to do that — conservationists would have to notice that the species is a problem before its population has established and grown to an uncontrollable size.(不幸的是，要做到这一点几乎是不可能的——自然环境保护主义者必须注意到，在种群数量建立并增长到无法控制的规模之前，这个物种就是一个问题。)”可知，作者认为消除入侵物种是不可能的，由此可知，作者对此不抱希望。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If you’re thinking of planting unusual plants in your garden or keeping a foreign pet, perhaps reconsider and go for a native one. You never know when they might escape and tip over an ecosystem.(如果你想在花园里种植不寻常的植物或养一只外国宠物，也许可以重新考虑，选择一只本土的。你永远不知道它们什么时候会逃跑并颠覆生态系统。)”可知，作者建议宠物饲养者选择本土宠物。故选D。
D
Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her. Educators stressed the importance of discipline and obedience(服从) within the classroom, and students were expected to follow very rigid standards for behavior and academic performance. The stated goal of this model was to ensure fairness by applying the same expectations; however, the result was that only a few students succeeded while many others were left behind.
When computers and Internet technology entered the classroom a few decades ago, another pattern appeared and progressive educators immediately saw the opportunity to change the way school worked. Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge. Not all educators welcomed this shift, however, as some believed it took power and responsibility away from the teachers and cheapened the educational experience for learners.
Over the last decade, two distinct camps of educators have emerged. Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can’t keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students’ ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world.
Regrettably, the inability of these two parties to find an agreement has prevented the growth of our education system. We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world. If we can’t get all our teachers on the same page, then we will be at risk of failing future generations.
12. Who can probably learn better under the 1945 -2000 model of education
A. Lisa who tends to read by herself. B. Michael who disciplines himself.
C. Kate who can focus on listening for long. D. Tom who prefers hands-on learning.
13. Why do some educators prefer the second education pattern
A. It allows for different learning styles. B. It has the same hope for students.
C. It fires students’ enthusiasm for learning. D. It reduces teachers’ level of stress.
14. What message is conveyed in paragraph 3
A. Two of a trade never agree. B. Everyone thinks in his way.
C. Every potter praises his pot. D. One’s words reflect one’s thinking.
15. What is the author’s understanding of a good education system
A. It’s full of well-trained subject teachers. B. It’s an accurate mirror of the real world.
C. It’s inclusive and accessible to all students. D. It’s an integration of tradition and modernity.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了两种不同的教育模式的特点以及人们对它们的不同看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Between 1945 and 2000, educators employed a fairly uniform approach. The teacher was the sun in the classroom, and all lessons and activities centered around him or her.( 1945年至2000年间，教育工作者采用了相当统一的方法。老师是教室里的太阳，所有的课程和活动都以他或她为中心。)”可知，1945至2000年间，老师是教室里的太阳，所有的课程和活动都围绕着老师进行，由此可推知在课堂上能长时间专注听课的学生可能会学得更好一些。因此能长时间集中注意力倾听的凯特很可能学得好。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Instead of needing to focus on the teachers for the vast majority of the day, students could use computers, websites, and even games to learn new materials and improve their skills and knowledge.(学生们可以利用电脑、网站甚至游戏来学习新材料，提高他们的技能和知识，而不是每天大部分时间都盯着老师。)”可知，在第二种教育模式下，学生们不必在一天的大部分时间里都关注老师，他们可以使用电脑、网站、甚至游戏来学习新材料、提高技能和增长知识。由此可推知，因为这种教育模式使不同的学习方式成为可能，所以一些教育工作者比较喜欢。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Tech advocates stress that computers and Internet technology allow students to learn at their own pace in an environment that makes them feel comfortable, while the traditional classroom sets a pace that many learners can’t keep up with and often makes students feel uncomfortable. Traditionalists, on the other hand, believe that over-reliance on tech limits students’ ability to develop their own knowledge and skills and does little to prepare them for the realities of being adults in the real world. (科技倡导者强调，计算机和互联网技术允许学生在一个让他们感到舒适的环境中按照自己的节奏学习，而传统课堂设定的节奏让许多学习者跟不上，经常让学生感到不舒服。另一方面，传统主义者认为，过度依赖科技限制了学生发展自己的知识和技能的能力，几乎没有帮助他们做好面对即将在现实生活中成为成年人的现实的准备。。)”可知，科技支持者认为，计算机和互联网技术使学生能够在一个让他们感到舒适的环境中按自己的节奏学习，而传统的教室设定了一个许多学习者无法跟上的节奏，经常会让学生感到不舒服。传统主义者认为，对科技的过度依赖限制了学生增长知识和提高技能的能力，几乎没有帮助他们做好面对即将在现实生活中成为成年人的现实的准备。由此可知，就技术而言，科技支持者和传统主义者有不同的看法，也就是说仁者见仁，智者见智。A项“同行是冤家”；B项“仁者见仁，智者见智”；C项“王婆卖瓜，自卖自夸”；D项“言为心声”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We must learn from what worked in the past while adopting the best of our new technologies to create an education system that reflects our modern world.(我们必须从过去的成功经验中学习，同时采用我们最好的新技术来创建一个反映我们现代世界的教育体系。)”可知，我们必须从过去的经验中学习，同时采用最新技术，创造一个反映我们现代世界的教育体制。由此可推知，在作者看来，一个好的教育体制需要融合传统与现代。故选D。

考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，教皇朱利叶斯二世要求米开朗基罗为西斯廷礼拜堂的墙壁作画。ask sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”。故填to paint。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为回应，米开朗基罗起初拒绝了，说他不是画家。本句谓语是refused，前后之间没有连词连接，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语Michelangelo和say之间是主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填saying。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：最后，他接受了教皇的请求，花了四年时间创作了这幅画。空处应用副词作状语，修饰整个句子。finally意为“最后”。故填Finally。

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。
I pulled my exhausted (精疲力竭的) body off the bed and headed out the door. Put one foot in front of the other. That is all you have to do, I told myself. I was determined (决定) to make myself walk every hour for five minutes, regardless of how terrible I felt — it would help me feel better.
My husband and I had been told by my doctor, Tiffany, that my coping strategies needed to change to effectively manage my fatigue (极度劳累). Walking was a key part of my hoped-for change. Cancer had taken so much from me, and it was time to start working my way back. With that goal in mind, I set out into my yard and began walking.
At our second meeting, Tiffany helped us set long-term goals. One of my goals was a day at a theme park, walking instead of using a wheelchair. After our meeting, I carried on with my step challenge. As the weeks progressed, I began meeting other program goals, but I still had the theme park to conquer. It frightened me to risk a whole day on my feet.
The day finally came, and we went to SeaWorld. As we walked into the park, the sun was shining. Over the speakers, Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” played. “This is my fight song, take back my life song ...” she sang. Tears glistened (闪光) on my face, and my husband looked at me with concern. Our teenage daughter saw the worry in his eyes and looked at me. When we shared a knowing smile, my daughter said, “Don’t worry, Dad. That’s Mom’s song.”
In the early days of this cancer journey, she had left something at home after leaving for school and had found me balled up in bed, crying from the pain, with “Fight Song” on repeat. I told her it was my “fight song” and I would be fine finally. She gave me a hug before returning to her father’s waiting truck. Clearly, she hadn’t told him about that.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I walked from show to show that day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My body cooperated (配合) on some days and let me down on others, but I kept walking.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I walked from show to show that day. I climbed stairs with purpose. I offered to get the food while my family saved us a table. I walked around the park practically overflowing with a sense of achievement. I was so proud that you would have thought I had run a long race. In a way, I had. Walking my way back to a life not controlled by fatigue was an exercise in determination. Every day, I tried to go a little farther than I had the day before.
My body cooperated on some days and let me down on others, but I kept walking. Through my walks, I began to see myself as an unstoppable force. Yes, cancer was and is a part of my life, but I will not let it describe who I am. Walking gave me my life back and changed the way I saw myself. Even now, when I have a difficult task ahead of me, I remind myself to just put one foot in front of the other.
