On the website of the EU Prize for Women Innovators, there are dozens of inspiring stories of female leaders alongside pictures of these professional-looking women wearing single color business suits. But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy’s pictures pop off the page, with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief “If you can’t stand up, stand out.”The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations.
Ailbhe, now 25, was four years old when she became a big sister to Izzy. Although Izzy was born disabled and couldn’t move from the waist down, her courage and energy deeply impressed Ailbhe and the two sisters developed a lifelong friendship. They spent hours as children decorating Izzy’s wheelchairs and her other mobility devices. So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose—dress up a wheelchair’s wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn’t show Izzy’s attitudes to life, or her energetic personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap. ”
Ailbhe’s project was extremely well received at her school’s design show. Izzy loved the new wheels as well. A state organization helped the sisters work with fashion designers and get their business to take off. The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities—watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children, In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities.
The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and personalized.
24. What contributed to the sisters winning the EU prize
A. The fashionable company.
B. The eye-catching pictures.
C. Their decorated wheelchairs.
D. Their colorful business suits.
25. What inspired Ailbhe to choose her final year project
A. Her duty to be an elder sister.
B. Her desire to show a real Izzy.
C. Her pity for lzzy’s disability.
D. Her admiration for great women.
26. Why did Ailbhe and Izzy choose to work with Disney
A. To help disabled kids.
B. To make movies.
C. To earn money.

How did the ant steal the lion’s dinner This isn’t the beginning of one of Aesop’s Fables. It’s the finding of a new study about ants and lions.
The whistling-thorn tree is a common sight on the plains of the east African grassland. Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well.
The big-headed ants arrived in this area between 2002 and 2005. They kill local acacia ants wherever they find them, robbing local whistling-thorn trees of their brave defenders against hungry elephants. Without ants to bite them, the elephants tear up the thorn trees, opening up the grassland, which makes it harder for lions to catch their preferred zebra meals.
In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without - meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey.
Over the three years of the study, zebra dinners decreased from 67 percent to 42 percent of lion kills. But the lions didn’t go hungry. Instead, they went for beef. Buffalo kills increased from zero to 42 percent of kills over the study period. “It’s a risky diet,” Goheen says. “Buffalo are big and feisty, and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured.”
“The study shows that the disruption (干扰) can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.”
28. What is the relationship between acacia ants and whistling-thorn trees like
A. Independent. B. Inharmonious. C. Competitive. D.Win-win.
29. What do we know about the study in paragraph 4
A. It is worthy but indirect. B. It is specific but unreliable.
C. It is demanding but economical. D. It is expensive but effective.
30. What does the underlined word “feisty” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Stable. B. Wild. C. Exceptional. D. Inactive.
31. What phenomenon does Goheen describe in the last paragraph
A. The butterfly effect. B. The greenhouse effect.
C. The bystander effect. D. The observer effect.

The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are comforting indeed. 32 They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression and all sorts of cancers.
33 They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals. 34
A report was published last summer by a renowned research team at the Harvard Hool of Public Health. It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation “can be part of a healthy lifestyle.” 35 In the past, there were occasional warnings about coffee being a health risk. Over the years, coffee’s been considered a cause of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and premature death.
Actually, these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated. 36 However, despite various concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential benefits.
A. It is considered as a health risk.
B. However, it wasn’t always this way.
C. They have the effects of anti-depression.
D. They have given the public a very abnormal view.
E. Therefore, more research is needed to confirm these findings.
F. In fact, there are many studies conducted throughout the world.
G.Their consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of diseases.

The Search for the Northwest Passage
For hundreds of years, the search for a convenient route by water across the North American continent, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, inspired explorers and sailors. This was the fabled Northwest Passage. The main reason for seeking this route was that it would provide a shortcut from Europe to the established markets of Asia, especially China and Indonesia. From the fifteenth century until the Suez and Panama Canals were built many centuries later, the only way for a ship to travel from, for example, Spain to the Philippines, was via Cape Horn against ferocious winds and dangerous currents, or via the longer and still more risky Cape of Good Hope. Either way, it was a long and perilous journey.
Between the early fifteenth century and the early twentieth century, when the Northwest Passage was finally traversed entirely by sea, there were many theories regarding where such a route might be. Some believed there might be a continuous waterway across the American continent, between what is now California in the west and the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway in the east. Others believed it would be far north, above Alaska and the normally frozen Northern Canada. To locate this fabled route, expeditions set out from the eastern Atlantic and the western Pacific coasts.
The earliest journeys from the eastern coast into the wilderness of Northeast Canada were undertaken by Greenland Vikings before the thirteenth century. Further Journeys of discovery were not made in earnest until the fifteenth century, the first of which was led by Englishman John Cabot in 1497, followed by three voyages starting from 1576 led by Cabot’s fellow countryman, Martin Frobisher, after whom Frobisher Bay is named. During the following three centuries, further expeditions set out, several of which suffered great hardship due to their ships being frozen in the ice as winter set in. The most famous of these was another Englishman’s expedition, that of Sir John Franklin’s, whose ship disappeared without a trace in 1846. This led to over 25 search parties, resulting in further exploration. However, they initially had no success pushing beyond the bays and changing channels of Eastern Canada.
At the same time as English exploration was taking place in the east, on the western coast Spanish seamen were attempting to find a route from west to east. In 1539, 60 years before Frobisher’s epic journeys, a Spaniard, Francisco de Ulloa, explored California and his exploits created the myth of a passage across the continent from California. Further exploration from Spain continued for the next two centuries. During this time, Russia became involved in exploration further north, with Vitus Bering, a Dane working for Russia, locating and naming the Bering Strait, the waterway between Russia and Alaska.
The most famous of the Western navigators was Englishman Captain James Cook, who, in 1778, attempted to find the passage for a prize of 20,000 offered by the British Admiralty. Neither he nor other navigators who followed him, including compatriot George Vancouver, discovered any sign of a river that would lead eastwards, rather, they were blocked by glaciers close to the coast. They concluded that there was no passage south of the Bering Strait.
Perhaps the most impressive journey was the one that finally achieved success. In the search for Franklin, Commander Robert McClure’s expedition engaged in a remarkable journey between 1850 and 1854. His ship HMS Investigator sailed first around Cape Horn and then, after heading north, found a route from west to east through the Bering Strait and across Northern Canada. During this time his ship was trapped in ice for three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying of starvation, completed the journey across the ice in sleds, before being picked up by another ship. However, the Northwest Passage was not traversed entirely by sea until 1906 when Roald Amundsen, the great polar explorer (who was also the first to reach the South Pole), finally achieved this feat by taking the east-west route. The first successful fully marine west-east crossing was completed in 1942 by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police crew in their plucky Arctic workhorse, the converted schooner St Roch, which later made the return trip. Many other vessels have since made the voyage, including as late as 2008, the first commercial crossing.

W: That’s too bad for you. But I understand them as well.As a matter of fact , I think I'm going to find a part- time job myself.
M: Find a job But you know… You might want to wait until the term is over. You’d feel awful if you bombed a final exam because you couldn't study the night before since you were working.
Text 10
M:Right…so this is the end of our tour of King Henry the Ⅷ’s state apartments , the most famous part of Hampton court palace. I'll now leave you to go sightseeing on your own. Let me just tell you briefly what else you can see and do.
You can visit the apartments of king William and Queen Mary.The palace kitchens are especially interesting. They are the largest in Europe. In the time of Henry the Ⅷ , 200 kitchen staff worked there to prepare two meals a day for over a thousand people. Audio guides to the palace are available from the Information Center.If you've had enough of royal apartments , you can just walk around the palace Gardens,which are huge and truly amazing. Bring your tickets with you, and they're needed to enter it. Have you still got the little brochure that comes with your ticket If you've lost it , please come and ask me for one. I still have a few here. If you feel hungry , you can have a snack in the coffee shop in the palace , next to the kitchens , or at the Tiltyard cafe in the gardens.
we'll meet again by the main entrance at 5 : 30, and our coach will take us back to the hotel for dinner. That'll be earlier than usual tonight,at 6:30, because we are having a party later, at 8 o'clock. Have a pleasant time. Thank You

B篇【答案】
24-27 CBAD
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述文比（Ailbhe）和伊兹（Lzzy）两姐妹赢得欧盟女性创新者奖的故事。
【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段"On the website of the EUPrize for Women Innovators，there are dozens of inspiring stories of female leaders alongside pictures of these professional-looking women wearing single color business suits. But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy's pictures pop off the page, with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief "If you can't stand up, stand out. "The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations. （在欧盟女性创新者奖的网站上，除了这些穿着单色商务服的职业女性的照片外，还有数十个女性领导人的鼓舞人心的故事。但当我们将页面向下移动一点时，Ailbhc和Izzy的照片从页面上弹出，其醒目的颜色和明亮的彩虹图案，这完全符合他们公司的信念“如果你站不起来，就站出来。”这对时尚的姐妹带着个性化的轮椅装饰席卷了世界。）”可知，这对姐妹赢得欧盟女性创新者奖是因为她们个性化的轮椅装饰。故选C。
【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose-dress up a wheelchair's wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn't show Izzy's attitudes to life, or her energetic personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap. ”（所以，当艾比从国立艺术学院毕业，必须完成最后一年的项目时，她知道该选择什么——装扮轮椅的轮子！文比说："轮椅本身并没有表现出伊兹对生活的态度，也没有表现出她充满活力的性格。它很难看，让你失去了信心。我想也许有办法弥补这种差距。""可知，启发Ailbhe选择她最后一年的项目的是她想要通过装饰轮椅来展示真正的Lzzy。故选B。
【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段"The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities-watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children. In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities. （姐妹俩的下一步是与有兴趣代表残疾人的大公司合作。他们转向迪斯尼。毕竟，这次合作将涉及他们最喜欢的活动之一，观看迪斯尼电影！此外，迪斯尼愿意将10%的利润捐给一家帮助残疾儿童的慈善机构。此外，该公司承诺实现残疾儿童的梦想。）"可知，姐妹俩与迪斯同公司合作，是因为他们可以帮助残疾人。故选A。
【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段"The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable，fun and personalized. （姐妹俩为自己的创造力感到兴奋，他们希望轮椅上的生活更时尚、更有趣、更个性化。）"可知，Ailbbe和Izz，姐妹俩的故事告诉我们，创造力可以让我们很出色。故选D。
C篇【答案】28-31 DCBA
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于蚂蚁和狮子之间关系的新研究发现，即外来大头蚁的入侵对当地生态造成了影响，最后使得狮子改变了捕猎对象。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well. (每棵树都是本地金合欢蚂蚁的家园，它们躲在刺里，喝树上的汁水。作为回报，当大象试图吃这棵树时，蚂蚁就会爬到大象的鼻子里，从里面往外咬。这使得树木和蚂蚁长得很好。)”可知，金合欢蚁和刺槐的关系是双赢的。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without - meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey. (在这项新研究中，野生动物生态学家Jake Goheen和他的同事本可以使用无人机或卫星图像来研究树木覆盖，但Goheen说：“我们没有那么多钱。”取而代之的是，研究人员追踪他们戴项圈的狮子，然后在狮子最近杀死的猎物附近蹲下，用测距仪测量该区域的开放程度。研究小组发现，有大头蚂蚁的地区的能见度是没有大头蚂蚁地区的2.67倍，这意味着狮子可以看得更远，但它们的猎物也可以。)”可知，研究人员通过追踪有项圈的狮子等经济的方式进行研究，虽然有难度但经济实惠，即研究要求很高，但很经济。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured (狮子捕猎水牛更容易受伤)”可知，狮子捕猎水牛更容易受伤，说明水牛比狮子更加凶猛。故划线词意思是“凶猛的”。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study shows that the disruption (干扰) can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.” (“研究表明，这种破坏会对群落中的其他物种产生严重影响，”Goheen说。“这些影响可能是意想不到的和间接的。变化也可能对其他生态系统的食物网产生影响。”)”可知，干扰对生态系统中的其他物种有严重、意外和间接的影响，属于蝴蝶效应。故选A。

In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee.(研究表明，每天喝4到5杯8盎司的咖啡与降低死亡率有关。在一项对20多万参与者长达30年的跟踪研究中，那些每天喝三到五杯咖啡的人，无论是否含有咖啡因，因各种原因早死的可能性比不喝咖啡的人低15%)”介绍了对咖啡的相关研究及其结果。F选项“In fact, there are many studies conducted throughout the world.(事实上，世界各地都进行了许多研究)”引出下文对研究结果的介绍，句中“many studies”与下文代词“They”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

35题：上文“It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation ‘can be part of a healthy lifestyle.’(它的结论是，尽管目前的证据可能不足以推荐饮用咖啡或咖啡因来预防疾病，但对大多数人来说，适量饮用咖啡‘可以成为健康生活方式的一部分’)”是对咖啡和咖啡因健康评估的总结，指出适量饮用咖啡可以成为健康生活方式的一部分。B选项“However, it wasn’t always this way.(然而，情况并非总是如此)”引出下文对过去咖啡被视为健康风险的描述，与上文形成对比，说明人们对咖啡的看法发生了变化。故选B项。
36题：上文“Actually, these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated.(实际上，这些担忧可能是没有根据且被夸大的)”指出过去对咖啡的健康担忧可能是错误的。D选项“They have given the public a very abnormal view.(他们给了公众一个非常不正常的看法)”承接上文，进一步说明这些担忧带来的影响，并为下文“However, despite various concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential benefits.(然而，尽管多年来出现了各种担忧，但咖啡实际上是非常安全的，并具有许多重要的潜在益处)”的转折做了铺垫。故选D项。

第二部分：语法填空
terribly 65．fixed 66．prepare 67．lay 68．when/as
69．listeners 70．what 71．a 72．to 73．and
【导语】本文通过作者的经历告诉我们了一个道理：遇到困难时，要努力克服，这样我们就能达到自己的目标。
【详解】
64．考查词形变化。本空需要一个副词去修饰后面的形容词shy，故答案为terribly。
65．考查词形变化。fix one’s eyes on sth./sb.是固定表达，意思是“把眼光放在某人或某物上”。fix和eyes是动宾关系，所以本空用过去分词表被动。故答案为fixed。句意：你可以想象那么多双眼睛盯着我，我是多么地害羞。
66．but前面含有实意动词do，则其后的动词不定式没有to，故填prepare。
67．考查词形变化。此处是作者回忆过去的事情，所以用过去时。故答案为lay。最困难的部分在于作口头介绍因为不准照着稿子去念。
68．考查连词。句意：真正考验我的时刻到了当我站在讲台上，双腿颤抖，头脑空白。本空需要一个连词连接两个简单句，而且表示“当……的时候”。故答案为when。
69．句意：我的听众耐心地等待，没有任何催促我的迹象。根据句意可知，此处用名词复数，故填listeners。
70．句意：句意：似乎过了很长时间以后，我发现观众们为我进行鼓掌——我成功啦！介词after之后是一个介词的宾语从句，从句没有引导词，没有主语，所填词应该起双重作用，根据句意，故填what。
71．句意：我害怕在一大群观众面前讲话的缺点消失了。a big audience“一大群观众”，故填a。
72．句意：通向成功的路。on one’s way to...“在去……的路上”。故填to。
73．考查连词。祈使句+and/or+一般将来时的句子是固定句式。前面的表示条件，后面表示结果。句意：如果克服了恐惧，那么我们就能达到自己的目标。故答案为and。

On the website of the EU Prize for Women Innovators, there are dozens of inspiring stories of female leaders alongside pictures of these professional-looking women wearing single color business suits. But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy’s pictures pop off the page, with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief “If you can’t stand up, stand out.”The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations.
Ailbhe, now 25, was four years old when she became a big sister to Izzy. Although Izzy was born disabled and couldn’t move from the waist down, her courage and energy deeply impressed Ailbhe and the two sisters developed a lifelong friendship. They spent hours as children decorating Izzy’s wheelchairs and her other mobility devices. So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose—dress up a wheelchair’s wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn’t show Izzy’s attitudes to life, or her energetic personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap. ”
Ailbhe’s project was extremely well received at her school’s design show. Izzy loved the new wheels as well. A state organization helped the sisters work with fashion designers and get their business to take off. The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities—watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children, In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities.
The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and personalized.

How did the ant steal the lion’s dinner This isn’t the beginning of one of Aesop’s Fables. It’s the finding of a new study about ants and lions.
The whistling-thorn tree is a common sight on the plains of the east African grassland. Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well.
The big-headed ants arrived in this area between 2002 and 2005. They kill local acacia ants wherever they find them, robbing local whistling-thorn trees of their brave defenders against hungry elephants. Without ants to bite them, the elephants tear up the thorn trees, opening up the grassland, which makes it harder for lions to catch their preferred zebra meals.
In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without - meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey.
Over the three years of the study, zebra dinners decreased from 67 percent to 42 percent of lion kills. But the lions didn’t go hungry. Instead, they went for beef. Buffalo kills increased from zero to 42 percent of kills over the study period. “It’s a risky diet,” Goheen says. “Buffalo are big and feisty, and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured.”
“The study shows that the disruption (干扰) can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.”
28. What is the relationship between acacia ants and whistling-thorn trees like
A. Independent. B. Inharmonious. C. Competitive. D.Win-win.
29. What do we know about the study in paragraph 4
A. It is worthy but indirect. B. It is specific but unreliable.
C. It is demanding but economical. D. It is expensive but effective.
30. What does the underlined word “feisty” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Stable. B. Wild. C. Exceptional. D. Inactive.
31. What phenomenon does Goheen describe in the last paragraph
A. The butterfly effect. B. The greenhouse effect.
C. The bystander effect. D. The observer effect.

The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are comforting indeed. 32 They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression and all sorts of cancers.
33 They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals. 34
A report was published last summer by a renowned research team at the Harvard Hool of Public Health. It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation “can be part of a healthy lifestyle.” 35 In the past, there were occasional warnings about coffee being a health risk. Over the years, coffee’s been considered a cause of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and premature death.
Actually, these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated. 36 However, despite various concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential benefits.
A. It is considered as a health risk.
B. However, it wasn’t always this way.
C. They have the effects of anti-depression.
D. They have given the public a very abnormal view.
E. Therefore, more research is needed to confirm these findings.
F. In fact, there are many studies conducted throughout the world.
G.Their consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of diseases.

The Search for the Northwest Passage
For hundreds of years, the search for a convenient route by water across the North American continent, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, inspired explorers and sailors. This was the fabled Northwest Passage. The main reason for seeking this route was that it would provide a shortcut from Europe to the established markets of Asia, especially China and Indonesia. From the fifteenth century until the Suez and Panama Canals were built many centuries later, the only way for a ship to travel from, for example, Spain to the Philippines, was via Cape Horn against ferocious winds and dangerous currents, or via the longer and still more risky Cape of Good Hope. Either way, it was a long and perilous journey.
Between the early fifteenth century and the early twentieth century, when the Northwest Passage was finally traversed entirely by sea, there were many theories regarding where such a route might be. Some believed there might be a continuous waterway across the American continent, between what is now California in the west and the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway in the east. Others believed it would be far north, above Alaska and the normally frozen Northern Canada. To locate this fabled route, expeditions set out from the eastern Atlantic and the western Pacific coasts.
The earliest journeys from the eastern coast into the wilderness of Northeast Canada were undertaken by Greenland Vikings before the thirteenth century. Further Journeys of discovery were not made in earnest until the fifteenth century, the first of which was led by Englishman John Cabot in 1497, followed by three voyages starting from 1576 led by Cabot’s fellow countryman, Martin Frobisher, after whom Frobisher Bay is named. During the following three centuries, further expeditions set out, several of which suffered great hardship due to their ships being frozen in the ice as winter set in. The most famous of these was another Englishman’s expedition, that of Sir John Franklin’s, whose ship disappeared without a trace in 1846. This led to over 25 search parties, resulting in further exploration. However, they initially had no success pushing beyond the bays and changing channels of Eastern Canada.
At the same time as English exploration was taking place in the east, on the western coast Spanish seamen were attempting to find a route from west to east. In 1539, 60 years before Frobisher’s epic journeys, a Spaniard, Francisco de Ulloa, explored California and his exploits created the myth of a passage across the continent from California. Further exploration from Spain continued for the next two centuries. During this time, Russia became involved in exploration further north, with Vitus Bering, a Dane working for Russia, locating and naming the Bering Strait, the waterway between Russia and Alaska.
The most famous of the Western navigators was Englishman Captain James Cook, who, in 1778, attempted to find the passage for a prize of 20,000 offered by the British Admiralty. Neither he nor other navigators who followed him, including compatriot George Vancouver, discovered any sign of a river that would lead eastwards, rather, they were blocked by glaciers close to the coast. They concluded that there was no passage south of the Bering Strait.
Perhaps the most impressive journey was the one that finally achieved success. In the search for Franklin, Commander Robert McClure’s expedition engaged in a remarkable journey between 1850 and 1854. His ship HMS Investigator sailed first around Cape Horn and then, after heading north, found a route from west to east through the Bering Strait and across Northern Canada. During this time his ship was trapped in ice for three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying of starvation, completed the journey across the ice in sleds, before being picked up by another ship. However, the Northwest Passage was not traversed entirely by sea until 1906 when Roald Amundsen, the great polar explorer (who was also the first to reach the South Pole), finally achieved this feat by taking the east-west route. The first successful fully marine west-east crossing was completed in 1942 by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police crew in their plucky Arctic workhorse, the converted schooner St Roch, which later made the return trip. Many other vessels have since made the voyage, including as late as 2008, the first commercial crossing.

"The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations. （在欧盟女性创新者奖的网站上，除了这些穿着单色商务服的职业女性的照片外，还有数十个女性领导人的鼓舞人心的故事。但当我们将页面向下移动一点时，Ailbhc和Izzy的照片从页面上弹出，其醒目的颜色和明亮的彩虹图案，这完全符合他们公司的信念“如果你站不起来，就站出来。”这对时尚的姐妹带着个性化的轮椅装饰席卷了世界。）”可知，这对姐妹赢得欧盟女性创新者奖是因为她们个性化的轮椅装饰。故选C。

I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap. ”（所以，当艾比从国立艺术学院毕业，必须完成最后一年的项目时，她知道该选择什么——装扮轮椅的轮子！文比说："轮椅本身并没有表现出伊兹对生活的态度，也没有表现出她充满活力的性格。它很难看，让你失去了信心。我想也许有办法弥补这种差距。""可知，启发Ailbhe选择她最后一年的项目的是她想要通过装饰轮椅来展示真正的Lzzy。故选B。

C篇【答案】28-31 DCBA
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于蚂蚁和狮子之间关系的新研究发现，即外来大头蚁的入侵对当地生态造成了影响，最后使得狮子改变了捕猎对象。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well. (每棵树都是本地金合欢蚂蚁的家园，它们躲在刺里，喝树上的汁水。作为回报，当大象试图吃这棵树时，蚂蚁就会爬到大象的鼻子里，从里面往外咬。这使得树木和蚂蚁长得很好。)”可知，金合欢蚁和刺槐的关系是双赢的。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without - meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey. (在这项新研究中，野生动物生态学家Jake Goheen和他的同事本可以使用无人机或卫星图像来研究树木覆盖，但Goheen说：“我们没有那么多钱。”取而代之的是，研究人员追踪他们戴项圈的狮子，然后在狮子最近杀死的猎物附近蹲下，用测距仪测量该区域的开放程度。研究小组发现，有大头蚂蚁的地区的能见度是没有大头蚂蚁地区的2.67倍，这意味着狮子可以看得更远，但它们的猎物也可以。)”可知，研究人员通过追踪有项圈的狮子等经济的方式进行研究，虽然有难度但经济实惠，即研究要求很高，但很经济。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured (狮子捕猎水牛更容易受伤)”可知，狮子捕猎水牛更容易受伤，说明水牛比狮子更加凶猛。故划线词意思是“凶猛的”。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study shows that the disruption (干扰) can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.” (“研究表明，这种破坏会对群落中的其他物种产生严重影响，”Goheen说。“这些影响可能是意想不到的和间接的。变化也可能对其他生态系统的食物网产生影响。”)”可知，干扰对生态系统中的其他物种有严重、意外和间接的影响，属于蝴蝶效应。故选A。

第二部分：语法填空
terribly 65．fixed 66．prepare 67．lay 68．when/as
69．listeners 70．what 71．a 72．to 73．and
【导语】本文通过作者的经历告诉我们了一个道理：遇到困难时，要努力克服，这样我们就能达到自己的目标。
【详解】
64．考查词形变化。本空需要一个副词去修饰后面的形容词shy，故答案为terribly。
65．考查词形变化。fix one’s eyes on sth./sb.是固定表达，意思是“把眼光放在某人或某物上”。fix和eyes是动宾关系，所以本空用过去分词表被动。故答案为fixed。句意：你可以想象那么多双眼睛盯着我，我是多么地害羞。
66．but前面含有实意动词do，则其后的动词不定式没有to，故填prepare。
67．考查词形变化。此处是作者回忆过去的事情，所以用过去时。故答案为lay。最困难的部分在于作口头介绍因为不准照着稿子去念。
68．考查连词。句意：真正考验我的时刻到了当我站在讲台上，双腿颤抖，头脑空白。本空需要一个连词连接两个简单句，而且表示“当……的时候”。故答案为when。

70．句意：句意：似乎过了很长时间以后，我发现观众们为我进行鼓掌——我成功啦！介词after之后是一个介词的宾语从句，从句没有引导词，没有主语，所填词应该起双重作用，根据句意，故填what。
71．句意：我害怕在一大群观众面前讲话的缺点消失了。a big audience“一大群观众”，故填a。
72．句意：通向成功的路。on one’s way to...“在去……的路上”。故填to。
73．考查连词。祈使句+and/or+一般将来时的句子是固定句式。前面的表示条件，后面表示结果。句意：如果克服了恐惧，那么我们就能达到自己的目标。故答案为and。
