Make the Most of Your Time in Amsterdam
Amsterdam — a marvelous city, which has so much to offer is waiting for you.
Go Get Lost
Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so getting around on foot is a great way to really take everything in. Besides, if you wander around, you’ll find hidden gems that you’d likely miss if you’re just going from monument to museum the whole time. Choose a neighborhood and start exploring. You can start with Jordaan or De Pijp.
Time To Eat
While this might come as a surprise, Belgian Waffles are quite delicious here. If you want to enjoy a unique brunch, visit Coffee and Coconuts, which is located in an old cinema from the 1920’s. You can enjoy eggs, tacos, and their signature dish: coconut pancakes. There are so many cheese shops here, so you seriously have to do yourself a favor and buy some cheese. Of course, no trip to Amsterdam is really complete without trying the famous fries. While you can enjoy them any time of the day, of course the best time to have these is as a late night snack to really cap the day off.
Visit Some Museums
Of course, even if you’re here for two days, that’s plenty of time for a museum or two. The classics are of course the Van Gough museum, Rijksmuseum and Stedilijk Museum, as well as the Anne Frank House — all of which are wonderful. If you’re looking for a more alternative museum experience, try out the Amsterdam Tulip Museum where you can learn all about the flowers that are synonymous with the city. There’s also the FOAM photography museum which includes a reading room full of photography books you can look though.
21．According to the text, what is the best way to explore the city
A．On foot. B．By car. C．By bike. D．By bus.
22．Which of the following is highly recommended by the author
A．Getting to various attractions. B．Buying some handmade crafts.
C．Having fries as a late night snack. D．Watching traditional performances.
23．Which museum best suits people interested in flowers
A．Van Gough museum. B．Anne Frank House.
C．Amsterdam Tulip Museum. D．FOAM photography museum.
Meles Wudima fled from his village near Addis Ababa to the Ethiopian capital because he had nowhere else to go. He was five years old and both his parents were dead. He’d headed to his aunt’s, but she had seven children and couldn’t take him in permanently. Soon Wudima was participating in the street economy, along with roughly 10,000 other orphaned kids in Addis. To survive, he shined shoes, sold peanuts and begged.
Then, when he was about nine, Wudima met Meheret Worku. A year earlier, in 1996, Worku had flown from Edmonton to her hometown of Addis. Accompanying Worku were her husband, Scott Smillie (a social worker), and their two children. The family had come with the intention of helping street-involved children, but without a set plan.
Worku had left Ethiopia in 1981 on a scholarship to Germany. From Germany she moved to Edmonton, finished her bachelor of science degree at the University of Alberta, began teaching, met Smillie and started a family. These opportunities were thanks to her education — a gift from her father.
In Ethiopia, all children can attend government school, but many don’t. Uniforms, books and other expenses are one barrier; poor health or being forced into work are others. Smillie and Worku decided to focus on getting orphaned street-involved children to class. Worku met Wudima on her second trip, and he started receiving supplies and food and was provided with housing shortly thereafter.
As the years ticked by, Worku continued to take calls in the middle of the night and travel back and forth between Canada and Ethiopia to ensure Wudima and dozens of others got necessities. From Edmonton, Smillie organized financial donations, including partnerships with the Knox Metropolitan United Church.
Wudima has stayed in touch with Worku. Now 29, he has a job as a tour guide. “Some young people are addicted to drugs or they become pickpockets,” he says. “If you have school, that’s a good advantage to keep yourself from everything.”
24．What can we learn about Meles Wudima from paragraph 1
A．He was adopted by his aunt. B．He became a pickpocket.
C．He attended a government school. D．He had to support himself.
25．How did Smillie and Worku help the orphaned street-involved children
① By setting up a school for them. ② By providing them with necessities.
③ By organizing financial donations. ④ By cooperating with a church.
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
26．Which of the following best describe Worku
A．Inspiring and kind. B．Enthusiastic and patient.
C．Funny and smart. D．Careful and trustful.
27．What can we infer about Wudima
A．Love breaks down barriers.
B．Education promises a bright future.
C．Great hopes make great man.
D．Two heads are better than one.
Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. Scientists found in studies of mice that a high-salt diet increased the levels of a stress hormone by 75 per cent. Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food.
The recommended salt intake for adults is less than six grams a day but most people regularly eat about nine grams. This can contribute to higher blood pressure, which increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes and dementia.
While effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person’s behaviour. To study this, experts from the University of Edinburgh used mice, who ordinarily have a low-salt diet, and gave them high-salt food to reflect the typical intake of humans.
They found that not only did resting stress hormone levels increase, but the mice’s hormone response to environmental stress was double that of mice that had a normal diet. Salt intake increased the activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain which control how the body responds to stress.
Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. Matthew Bailey, professor of Renal Physiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: “We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving wellbeing. We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels(血管) and kidneys. This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.”
28．What are the findings expected to bring about eventually
A．Manufacturers adding less salt to processed food.
B．People debating the policy on public health.
C．Decreased levels of stress hormones.
D．Reduced amount of processed food.
29．What does the underlined word “ascertained” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Ignored. B．Restored.
C．Reduced. D．Confirmed.
30．Which of the following may be a subject of further research
A．What policy on salt should be.
B．How a high-salt intake affects blood pressure.
C．How much salt intake is appropriate.
D．Whether a high-salt intake causes anxiety.
31．What may be a suitable little for the text
A．Most people regularly take in too much salt.
B．Mental health is important to improving well being.
C．Diet containing much salt increases levels of stress.
D．Less than six grams of salt a day is recommended.
Human innovation (创新) has allowed people to explore space for decades. Within a space station, astronauts have enough air, food and water to complete missions of a year or longer without a resupply. But missions to further reaches of space are a different matter. Establishing a base on the moon or sending humans to Mars seems just on the horizon. That can only happen if innovative and foolproof ways are developed to supply humans with enough air, water and food.
One company, Interstellar Labs, has developed an advanced, closed loop system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space. They call their AI managed greenhouses BioPods and they are designed to be very efficient. In fact, Interstellar Labs claims that BioPods reduce the amount of land and water needed to produce food by 99 percent. That is not an impossible claim. BioPods don’t use any soil to grow plants, and the vast majority of water is recycled and recirculated.
Plants are grown inside BioPods using aeroponics, the practice of hanging plants in the air and spraying a mist of nutrient-rich water on their roots. By using aeroponics, the BioPod system carefully conserves water with amazing results. According to Interstellar labs, BioPod-grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a small amount of water.
The conditions inside of a BioPod are controlled by AI, which can change anything from the lighting to the temperature and humidity to maximize growth. This optimizes (使最优化) growing conditions no matter what the environment is outside, including the emptiness of space.
The BioPods themselves can be built in almost any environment, too. The pod’s structure is made with a 3D printer using raw materials in liquid form. The inside part is sealed with an inflatable membrane (充气膜) that is also 3D-printed. This means that a BioPod could be built right on the surface of the moon or Mars, making transporting a large structure unnecessary.
Like most technology developed for space exploration, BioPods can also be used on Earth to provide highly efficient food production systems even in the harshest environments.
32．In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to____________.
A．propose a definition B．introduce a topic
C．make a comparison D．reach a conclusion
33．Which of the following best describes Biopods
A．They are deigned to be used in harsh environments on Earth.
B．They are easy to operate without need for soil or water.
C．They are highly productive and efficient greenhouses.
D．They are widely used for space exploration.
34．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Space Exploration with BioPods B．Growing Food in the Space Pods
C．Food Consumption in Space Station D．3D Printers Used in Space Lab
35．What is the writer’s attitude to the BioPod
A．Cautious. B．Indifferent. C．Positive. D．Ambiguous.
How to Practice Gratitude (感激) in Your Daily Life
Gratitude is a positive emotion. Learning how to practice it is an effort to remind yourself of the good in life and to show an internal appreciation for yourself and others. 36 . Whichever exercise you do, it’s vital to remember the elements of gratitude: the awareness of the good things, expressing gratitude to yourself and giving thanks to people you’re grateful for.
Create a gratitude list. The intense stress of life can get you so caught up that we may fail to recognize the positive events or interactions we encounter on a daily basis. 37 . It can also help you picture the biggest and smallest moments that make your day.
38 . Expressing your gratitude to those you’re grateful for strengthens your relationship with them. Plus, bonding with family and friends is a simple act that can help you feel gratitude for these relationships. Sharing kindness will make you feel happier and healthier. In turn, those benefits get passed along to those you most care about.
Make a gratitude jar (罐). Make the jar fun and personable by decorating it and placing it where you can always see it. Every day, write down what you’re grateful for on a slip of paper and put it in the jar. 39 . Whenever there’s a moment of doubt or sadness, return to the jar and read a few notes to remind yourself of who and what is good in your life.
In conclusion, engaging in daily gratitude exercises can make a great difference. Showing gratitude helps you connect with positive emotions, focus on acknowledging the good, and shift your focus to positive aspects of life. 40 .
A．Share your gratitude with others
B．Seek out opportunities to help others
C．There are several gratitude activities and exercises
D．As you fill it, it serves as a good reminder of good times
E．It is better to keep track of whatever happens in your life
F．You’ll also harvest the greatest rewards when it becomes a habit
G．Writing down the positive moments helps put life into a better perspective

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
It was time for the ice cream event that my small youth group had waited for many months. The group consisted of five boys; one of them was Scott.
Scott always had a positive attitude. He looked on the bright side of things and never criticized anyone. But Scott was different from the rest of us because he was disabled, suffering from a disease which caused hands shaking constantly. Therefore, he was unable to participate in activities in most cases. No one ever made fun of him to his face, but at times, people would laugh or stare in his presence. But Scott never worried; he just kept his head up high and ignored them.
Finally, the night of the ice cream event descended. My friends and I rushed to the church basement and waited with scoops (冰淇淋勺) in hand for the guests to arrive. One by one, people filed in, all hoping to get a creamy and tasty scoop of ice cream. But what they ended up getting was a hard and frozen mass. We waited for a while for the ice cream to melt, and eventually it did.
Once the ice cream melted, we had another problem. It had turned into three pools of coconut, chocolate, and strawberry. But we persisted in serving it. We had our chance to serve, except for Scott. So, being as kind as possible, I gave Scott a chance to scoop and serve. As soon as Scott gripped the scoop, our ice cream troubles grew beyond control. Milky ice cream was flung in every direction and made a mess on people, but there was no sign for him to come to a stop on account of his terrible control of trembling hands. At that moment, a stir of unrest and dissatisfaction rippled through the crowd.
注意：
1、 续写词数应为150左右；
2、 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Abruptly, a woman stormed forward and grabbed the scoop.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tears blurred his eyes as Scott got hold of the scoop again.

Now 29, he has a job as a tour guide. “Some young people are addicted to drugs or they become pickpockets,” he says. “If you have school, that’s a good advantage to keep yourself from everything.” (Wudima一直与沃尔库保持联系。现在29岁的他，成为了一名导游。“一些年轻人沉迷于毒品，或者成为了小偷，”他说，“如果你有学上，那就是一个远离这些坏事的好机会。”)”可知，Worku凭借教育机会从埃塞俄比亚走向德国，并最终在加拿大定居并成为教师。她的成功故事本身就是一种激励，特别是考虑到她最初是通过奖学金获得这些机会的。而且，Worku的帮助下Wudima改变了命运，这对别人也是鼓舞，所以Worku是鼓舞人心的且善良的。故选A。
27．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Wudima has stayed in touch with Worku. Now 29, he has a job as a tour guide. “Some young people are addicted to drugs or they become pickpockets,” he says. “If you have school, that’s a good advantage to keep yourself from everything.” (Wudima一直与沃尔库保持联系。现在29岁的他，成为了一名导游。“一些年轻人沉迷于毒品，或者成为了小偷，”他说，“如果你有学上，那就是一个远离这些坏事的好机会。”)”可知，教育能给人带来光明的未来。故选B。
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．D 31．C
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍一项新的研究表明，含有大量盐的饮食会增加压力水平。
【解析】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food. (专家们希望这一发现将鼓励对食盐消费的公共卫生政策进行审查，目的是让制造商减少加工食品中的盐含量。)”可知，该研究结果最终目的是想让食品加工制造商减少食品里面盐的含量。故选A。
29．词句猜测题。根据第三段“While effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person’s behaviour. (虽然高盐饮食对心脏和循环系统的影响已经ascertained，但人们对高盐饮食会对人的行为产生什么影响知之甚少。)”可知， while前后是对比关系，尽管高盐饮食对心脏和循环系统的影响已经被证实，但是人们对高盐饮食会的不良后果却知道很少。所以ascertained的意思应该是“被证实”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. (专家表示，进一步的研究已经在进行中，以了解高盐摄入是否会导致焦虑和攻击等其他行为变化。)”可知，高盐摄入是否会引起焦虑将是未来研究的课题之一。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，含有大量盐的饮食会增加压力。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍含有大量盐的饮食会增加压力水平。故选C。
【答案】32．B 33．C 34．B 35．C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家公司开发了一种先进的闭环系统BioPods，可以在太空舱里种植植物，为宇航员提供食物。
【解析】32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Establishing a base on the moon or sending humans to Mars seems just on the horizon. That can only happen if innovative and foolproof ways are developed to supply humans with enough air, water and food. (在月球上建立基地或将人类送上火星似乎就在眼前。只有开发出创新的、万无一失的方法来为人类提供足够的空气、水和食物，这才有可能实现。)”和第二段“One company, Interstellar Labs, has developed an advanced, closed loop system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space. (一家名为星际实验室(Interstellar Labs)的公司开发了一种先进的闭环系统，可以在任何地方种植植物，甚至在太空中。)”以及下文对这个系统的介绍，可知第一段是为了引出本文的话题，故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段“They call their AI managed greenhouses BioPods and they are designed to be very efficient. (他们把人工智能管理的温室称为BioPods，它们被设计得非常高效。)”和第三段“According to Interstellar labs, BioPod-grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a small amount of water. (根据星际实验室的说法，biopod种植的植物的产量比传统种植的植物高300倍，只需要少量的水。)”可知Biopods是高效和高产的温室，故选C。
34．主旨大意题。根据第二段“One company, Interstellar Labs, has developed an advanced, closed loop system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space. (一家公司，星际实验室开发了一种先进的闭环系统，可以在任何地方种植植物，甚至在太空中。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一家公司开发了一种先进的闭环系统，可以在太空舱里种植植物，为宇航员提供食物。所以B选项“Growing Food in the Space Pods(在太空舱里种植食物) ”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据第二段“They call their AI managed greenhouses BioPods and they are designed to be very efficient. (他们把人工智能管理的温室称为BioPods，它们被设计得非常高效。)”和第三段“According to Interstellar labs, BioPod-grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a small amount of water. (根据星际实验室的说法，biopod种植的植物的产量比传统种植的植物高300倍，只需要少量的水。)”以及最后一段“Like most technology developed for space exploration, BioPods can also be used on Earth to provide highly efficient food production systems even in the harshest environments. (与大多数为太空探索而开发的技术一样，BioPods也可以在地球上使用，即使在最恶劣的环境中也能提供高效的粮食生产系统。)”可知BioPods有很多优点，所以作者的态度应该是积极的，故选C。
【答案】36．C 37．G 38．A 39．D 40．F
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何在日常生活中实施感恩。
【解析】36．由上文“Gratitude is a positive emotion. Learning how to practice it is an effort to remind yourself of the good in life and to show an internal appreciation for yourself and others. (感恩是一种积极的情感。学习如何实施感恩是提醒自己生活中的美好，并对自己和他人表现出内在的感激之情的一种努力)”可知作者认为感恩是一种积极的情感，有其好处，我们需要学会如何实施感恩，再结合标题“How to Practice Gratitude (感激) in Your Daily Life (如何在日常生活中实施感恩)”和下文“Whichever exercise you do, it’s vital to remember the elements of gratitude: the awareness of the good things, expressing gratitude to yourself and giving thanks to people you’re grateful for. (无论你做什么练习，都必须记住感恩的要素：对美好事物的意识，对自己表达感激之情，以及对你感激的人表示感谢)”及下文讲实施感恩的策略可知，作者应该在该空讲有方法能帮助人实施感恩，C选项“有一些感恩活动和练习”切合语境。故选C项。

(它还可以帮助你描绘一天中最重要和最微小的时刻)”讲写感恩清单的另一好处，结合下文中“also”可知该空应该讲写感恩清单的第一个好处，G选项“写下积极的时刻有助于更好地看待生活”切合语境，选项中“the positive moments”呼应上文“The intense stress of life can get you so caught up that we may fail to recognize the positive events or interactions we encounter on a daily basis. (生活中的巨大压力会让你陷入困境，以至于我们可能无法识别我们每天遇到的积极事件或互动)”中的“the positive events or interactions”。故选G项。
38．该空选取小标题，需总结下文，由下文“Expressing your gratitude to those you’re grateful for strengthens your relationship with them. Plus, bonding with family and friends is a simple act that can help you feel gratitude for these relationships. Sharing kindness will make you feel happier and healthier. (向那些你感激的人表达你的感激之情可以加强你与他们的关系。此外，与家人和朋友建立联系是一种简单的行为，可以帮助你对这些关系感到感激。分享善意会让你感到更快乐、更健康)”可知，作者建议通过向他人表达你的感激之情来实施感激，A选项“与他人分享你的感激之情”切合语境。故选A项。
39．由上文“Make a gratitude jar (罐). Make the jar fun and personable by decorating it and placing it where you can always see it. Every day, write down what you’re grateful for on a slip of paper and put it in the jar. (做一个感恩的罐子。把罐子装饰好，放在你能看到的地方，让它变得有趣和有风度。每天，把你感激的东西写在一张纸上，然后放进罐子里)”可知，作者建议通过制作一个放感激字条的感恩罐子来实施感激，该空应该讲这样做的好处（才能说服读者认同这个方法的作用），D选项“当你填满它时，它能很好地提醒你美好的时光”切合语境，选项中“it”指代上文中的“a gratitude jar”。故选D项。
40．由上文“In conclusion, engaging in daily gratitude exercises can make a great difference. Showing gratitude helps you connect with positive emotions, focus on acknowledging the good, and shift your focus to positive aspects of life. (总之，每天进行感恩练习会有很大的不同。表达感激之情有助于你与积极的情绪建立联系，专注于承认美好，并将注意力转移到生活的积极方面)”可知，本段是总结段落，作者再次强调了实施感恩练习的诸多好处，该空是全文尾句，应起到总结全文的作用，再结合全文讲日常生活中有关练习感恩的策略可知，作者应在该空呼吁读者要在生活中一直实施感恩，使其成为习惯，F选项“当它成为一种习惯时，你也会收获最大的回报”切合语境。故选F项。

56．a 57．What 58．private 59．to 60．how 61．calmness 62．taken 63．functions 64．is considered 65．used
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国装饰中独特典雅的传统家具——屏风。
【解析】56．考查冠词。句意：中国屏门，又称屏风，是中国装饰中一种独特典雅的传统家具。分析句子可知，piece为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意可知，空处表示泛指，意为“一个，一种”，应用不定冠词，且unique的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
57．考查主语从句。句意：典型的是它是由木头制成的，外观精致。分析句子可知，此处为连接词引导的主语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用连接代词，结合句意可知，此处指的是事物，所以使用what，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填What。
58．考查形容词。句意：中国屏风以其雕刻和绘画而闻名，它可以阻挡外界的风和噪音，遮住门，使房间变得私密。分析句子可知，此处为形容词作宾语补足语，privacy的形容词private意为“私密的”。故填private。
59．考查介词。句意：中国人在装修房子的时候，非常注重自己的居住空间与周围环境的和谐。分析句子结构可知，此处应为固定短语“attach great importance to”意为“重视，注重”符合句意。故填to。
60．考查宾语从句。句意：建筑师认为屏风可以帮助控制房间内能量流动的方式，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作control的宾语，从句中不缺少主语和宾语，句意不完整，结合句意可知，从句中缺少方式状语，表示“怎样，如何”符合句意，所以此处应用连接副词how。故填how。
61．考查名词。句意：建筑师认为屏风可以帮助控制房间内的能量流动的方式，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为名词作of的宾语，且空处和peace并列，calm的名词calmness意为“平静”，为不可数名词。故填calmness。
62．考查过去分词。句意：屏风植根于中国文化和古代历史，它不仅仅是一个物理屏障或装饰。分析句子可知，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”结构，结合句意可知，take与its roots之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式taken。故填taken。
63．考查名词的数。句意：中国屏风除了具有装饰和实用功能外，还被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。分析句子可知，此处为名词作in addition to的宾语，结合空前的“its decorative and practical”可知，功能不止一个，function应用复数形式。故填functions。
64．考查谓语动词。句意：中国屏风除了具有装饰和实用功能外，还被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。分析句子可知，此处为句子的谓语，结合句意可知，此处在描述一般性的事实，时态应用一般现在时，consider主语the Chinese screen之间为被动关系，所以此处使用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数。故填is considered。
65．考查状语从句中的省略。句意：无论是用来划分房间，营造私密性，还是为空间增添一丝传统的优雅，中国屏风仍然是一种受人喜爱和有价值的设计。分析句子可知，此处用了whether引导让步状语从句，且从句的主语和主句的主语一致，从句中省略了“主语+be”，use与被省略的主语the Chinese screen之间是被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填used。

67．【答案】Abruptly, a woman stormed forward and grabbed the scoop. She clenched her fist, knitted her eyebrows and glared at Scott. Suddenly, she held the scoop high and roared to blame. Meanwhile, a flush of dissatisfaction and then fury overwhelming the crowd, they began to yell. Evidently, Scott was scared, rooted to the spot, with his forehead sweaty and his face pale. At the sight of this, I stepped forward, cleared my throat and shouted to explain Scott’s spirit of devotion despite disability. Astonishment and then silence took hold of the crowd, after which she apologized and returned the scoop.
Tears blurred his eyes as Scott got hold of the scoop again. He strained every nerve to control his hands to scoop ice cream. So regretful was the woman that she even came to assist him. Now, fully aware of the situation, the crowd settled down and stood in line. They beamed with smiles and offered words of encouragement as they received ice cream. As the last scoop of ice cream was served, a symphony of laughter and euphoria permeated the basement. It was at this moment that I came to the enlightenment that this experience was a testament of understanding, warmth and kindness.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，这篇文章讲述了一个年轻团体的冰淇淋活动，其中一个名叫Scott的残障人士在众人的嘲笑与失望中勇敢地尝试去参与。最初，他的手的颤抖导致冰淇淋到处乱飞，引起了不满和愤怒。但随后，有人解释了Scott的奉献精神，人们开始理解并帮助他。最终，活动圆满结束，展现了理解、温暖和善意的力量。
【详解】1、段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，一个女人冲上前抓起了冰激凌勺子。”可知，第一段可描写该女士对Scott的行为感到生气，对其责备和怒吼，并且描述Scott害怕和失落的情绪及表现，以及描写作者为Scott的情况进行解释。
②由第二段首句内容“当Scott再次拿起冰激凌勺子的时候，泪水模糊了他的双眼。”可知，第二段可描写Scott对作者的行为表示感激，并且愤怒女士了解Scott的情况后感到后悔，以及描写作者的感悟
2、续写线索：
女人生气病愤怒——Scott害怕并紧张——作者帮忙解释——Scott感激流泪再次尝试舀冰激凌——女士表示歉意及在场人士对其理解——作者感悟

Make the Most of Your Time in Amsterdam
Amsterdam — a marvelous city, which has so much to offer is waiting for you.
Go Get Lost
Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so getting around on foot is a great way to really take everything in. Besides, if you wander around, you’ll find hidden gems that you’d likely miss if you’re just going from monument to museum the whole time. Choose a neighborhood and start exploring. You can start with Jordaan or De Pijp.
Time To Eat
While this might come as a surprise, Belgian Waffles are quite delicious here. If you want to enjoy a unique brunch, visit Coffee and Coconuts, which is located in an old cinema from the 1920’s. You can enjoy eggs, tacos, and their signature dish: coconut pancakes. There are so many cheese shops here, so you seriously have to do yourself a favor and buy some cheese. Of course, no trip to Amsterdam is really complete without trying the famous fries. While you can enjoy them any time of the day, of course the best time to have these is as a late night snack to really cap the day off.
Visit Some Museums
Of course, even if you’re here for two days, that’s plenty of time for a museum or two. The classics are of course the Van Gough museum, Rijksmuseum and Stedilijk Museum, as well as the Anne Frank House — all of which are wonderful. If you’re looking for a more alternative museum experience, try out the Amsterdam Tulip Museum where you can learn all about the flowers that are synonymous with the city. There’s also the FOAM photography museum which includes a reading room full of photography books you can look though.
21．According to the text, what is the best way to explore the city
A．On foot. B．By car. C．By bike. D．By bus.
22．Which of the following is highly recommended by the author
A．Getting to various attractions. B．Buying some handmade crafts.
C．Having fries as a late night snack. D．Watching traditional performances.
23．Which museum best suits people interested in flowers
A．Van Gough museum. B．Anne Frank House.
C．Amsterdam Tulip Museum. D．FOAM photography museum.
Meles Wudima fled from his village near Addis Ababa to the Ethiopian capital because he had nowhere else to go. He was five years old and both his parents were dead. He’d headed to his aunt’s, but she had seven children and couldn’t take him in permanently. Soon Wudima was participating in the street economy, along with roughly 10,000 other orphaned kids in Addis. To survive, he shined shoes, sold peanuts and begged.
Then, when he was about nine, Wudima met Meheret Worku. A year earlier, in 1996, Worku had flown from Edmonton to her hometown of Addis. Accompanying Worku were her husband, Scott Smillie (a social worker), and their two children. The family had come with the intention of helping street-involved children, but without a set plan.
Worku had left Ethiopia in 1981 on a scholarship to Germany. From Germany she moved to Edmonton, finished her bachelor of science degree at the University of Alberta, began teaching, met Smillie and started a family. These opportunities were thanks to her education — a gift from her father.
In Ethiopia, all children can attend government school, but many don’t. Uniforms, books and other expenses are one barrier; poor health or being forced into work are others. Smillie and Worku decided to focus on getting orphaned street-involved children to class. Worku met Wudima on her second trip, and he started receiving supplies and food and was provided with housing shortly thereafter.
As the years ticked by, Worku continued to take calls in the middle of the night and travel back and forth between Canada and Ethiopia to ensure Wudima and dozens of others got necessities. From Edmonton, Smillie organized financial donations, including partnerships with the Knox Metropolitan United Church.

Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. Scientists found in studies of mice that a high-salt diet increased the levels of a stress hormone by 75 per cent. Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food.
The recommended salt intake for adults is less than six grams a day but most people regularly eat about nine grams. This can contribute to higher blood pressure, which increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes and dementia.
While effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person’s behaviour. To study this, experts from the University of Edinburgh used mice, who ordinarily have a low-salt diet, and gave them high-salt food to reflect the typical intake of humans.
They found that not only did resting stress hormone levels increase, but the mice’s hormone response to environmental stress was double that of mice that had a normal diet. Salt intake increased the activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain which control how the body responds to stress.
Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. Matthew Bailey, professor of Renal Physiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: “We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving wellbeing. We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels(血管) and kidneys. This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.”
28．What are the findings expected to bring about eventually
A．Manufacturers adding less salt to processed food.
B．People debating the policy on public health.
C．Decreased levels of stress hormones.
D．Reduced amount of processed food.
29．What does the underlined word “ascertained” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Ignored. B．Restored.
C．Reduced. D．Confirmed.
30．Which of the following may be a subject of further research
A．What policy on salt should be.
B．How a high-salt intake affects blood pressure.
C．How much salt intake is appropriate.
D．Whether a high-salt intake causes anxiety.
31．What may be a suitable little for the text
A．Most people regularly take in too much salt.
B．Mental health is important to improving well being.
C．Diet containing much salt increases levels of stress.
D．Less than six grams of salt a day is recommended.
Human innovation (创新) has allowed people to explore space for decades. Within a space station, astronauts have enough air, food and water to complete missions of a year or longer without a resupply. But missions to further reaches of space are a different matter. Establishing a base on the moon or sending humans to Mars seems just on the horizon. That can only happen if innovative and foolproof ways are developed to supply humans with enough air, water and food.
One company, Interstellar Labs, has developed an advanced, closed loop system that can grow plants anywhere, even in space. They call their AI managed greenhouses BioPods and they are designed to be very efficient. In fact, Interstellar Labs claims that BioPods reduce the amount of land and water needed to produce food by 99 percent. That is not an impossible claim. BioPods don’t use any soil to grow plants, and the vast majority of water is recycled and recirculated.
Plants are grown inside BioPods using aeroponics, the practice of hanging plants in the air and spraying a mist of nutrient-rich water on their roots. By using aeroponics, the BioPod system carefully conserves water with amazing results. According to Interstellar labs, BioPod-grown plants are up to 300 times more productive than traditionally grown plants, using only a small amount of water.
The conditions inside of a BioPod are controlled by AI, which can change anything from the lighting to the temperature and humidity to maximize growth. This optimizes (使最优化) growing conditions no matter what the environment is outside, including the emptiness of space.
The BioPods themselves can be built in almost any environment, too. The pod’s structure is made with a 3D printer using raw materials in liquid form. The inside part is sealed with an inflatable membrane (充气膜) that is also 3D-printed. This means that a BioPod could be built right on the surface of the moon or Mars, making transporting a large structure unnecessary.
Like most technology developed for space exploration, BioPods can also be used on Earth to provide highly efficient food production systems even in the harshest environments.
32．In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to____________.
A．propose a definition B．introduce a topic
C．make a comparison D．reach a conclusion
33．Which of the following best describes Biopods
A．They are deigned to be used in harsh environments on Earth.
B．They are easy to operate without need for soil or water.
C．They are highly productive and efficient greenhouses.
D．They are widely used for space exploration.
34．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Space Exploration with BioPods B．Growing Food in the Space Pods
C．Food Consumption in Space Station D．3D Printers Used in Space Lab
35．What is the writer’s attitude to the BioPod
A．Cautious. B．Indifferent. C．Positive. D．Ambiguous.

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
It was time for the ice cream event that my small youth group had waited for many months. The group consisted of five boys; one of them was Scott.
Scott always had a positive attitude. He looked on the bright side of things and never criticized anyone. But Scott was different from the rest of us because he was disabled, suffering from a disease which caused hands shaking constantly. Therefore, he was unable to participate in activities in most cases. No one ever made fun of him to his face, but at times, people would laugh or stare in his presence. But Scott never worried; he just kept his head up high and ignored them.
Finally, the night of the ice cream event descended. My friends and I rushed to the church basement and waited with scoops (冰淇淋勺) in hand for the guests to arrive. One by one, people filed in, all hoping to get a creamy and tasty scoop of ice cream. But what they ended up getting was a hard and frozen mass. We waited for a while for the ice cream to melt, and eventually it did.
Once the ice cream melted, we had another problem. It had turned into three pools of coconut, chocolate, and strawberry. But we persisted in serving it. We had our chance to serve, except for Scott. So, being as kind as possible, I gave Scott a chance to scoop and serve. As soon as Scott gripped the scoop, our ice cream troubles grew beyond control. Milky ice cream was flung in every direction and made a mess on people, but there was no sign for him to come to a stop on account of his terrible control of trembling hands. At that moment, a stir of unrest and dissatisfaction rippled through the crowd.
注意：
1、 续写词数应为150左右；
2、 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Abruptly, a woman stormed forward and grabbed the scoop.

【解析】24．细节理解题。由文章第一段“Meles Wudima fled from his village near Addis Ababa to the Ethiopian capital because he had nowhere else to go. He was five years old and both his parents were dead. He’d headed to his aunt’s, but she had seven children and couldn’t take him in permanently. Soon Wudima was participating in the street economy, along with roughly 10,000 other orphaned kids in Addis. To survive, he shined shoes, sold peanuts and begged. (Meles Wudima从亚的斯亚贝巴附近的村庄逃到埃塞俄比亚首都，因为他无处可去。他五岁，父母都去世了。他去了姨妈家，但她有七个孩子，不能永久收留他。很快，Wudima就和亚的斯亚贝巴大约1万名孤儿一起参与了街头经济。为了生存，他擦鞋、卖花生、乞讨。)”可知，Meles Wudima必须自己养活自己。故选D。
25．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Smillie and Worku decided to focus on getting orphaned street-involved children to class. Worku met Wudima on her second trip, and he started receiving supplies and food and was provided with housing shortly thereafter. (Smillie和Worku决定重点关注让街头孤儿上学的问题。在Worku第二次回埃塞俄比亚时遇到了Wudima，他开始收到学习用品、食物，并且不久后有了住处。)”可知，他们为这些孩子提供了必需品，故②正确。由文章第五段中“From Edmonton, Smillie organized financial donations, including partnerships with the Knox Metropolitan United Church. (Smillie从埃德蒙顿组织资金捐赠，包括与诺克斯大都会联合教会建立合作关系。)”可知，他们组织资金捐赠并与教堂合作，故③和④正确。故选D。
26．推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“As the years ticked by, Worku continued to take calls in the middle of the night and travel back and forth between Canada and Ethiopia to ensure Wudima and dozens of others got necessities. (随着岁月的流逝，Worku继续半夜接电话，并在加拿大和埃塞俄比亚之间来回奔波，以确保Wudima和其他几十人能得到必需品。)”和第三段中“Worku had left Ethiopia in 1981 on a scholarship to Germany. From Germany she moved to Edmonton, finished her bachelor of science degree at the University of Alberta, began teaching, met Smillie and started a family. (1981年，沃尔库靠着奖学金离开了埃塞俄比亚，前往德国。从德国她又搬到了埃德蒙顿，在阿尔伯塔大学完成了理学学士学位，开始教书，遇到了斯米利，并组建了家庭。)”、最后一段“Wudima has stayed in touch with Worku. Now 29, he has a job as a tour guide. “Some young people are addicted to drugs or they become pickpockets,” he says. “If you have school, that’s a good advantage to keep yourself from everything.” (Wudima一直与沃尔库保持联系。现在29岁的他，成为了一名导游。“一些年轻人沉迷于毒品，或者成为了小偷，”他说，“如果你有学上，那就是一个远离这些坏事的好机会。”)”可知，Worku凭借教育机会从埃塞俄比亚走向德国，并最终在加拿大定居并成为教师。她的成功故事本身就是一种激励，特别是考虑到她最初是通过奖学金获得这些机会的。而且，Worku的帮助下Wudima改变了命运，这对别人也是鼓舞，所以Worku是鼓舞人心的且善良的。故选A。
27．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Wudima has stayed in touch with Worku. Now 29, he has a job as a tour guide. “Some young people are addicted to drugs or they become pickpockets,” he says. “If you have school, that’s a good advantage to keep yourself from everything.” (Wudima一直与沃尔库保持联系。现在29岁的他，成为了一名导游。“一些年轻人沉迷于毒品，或者成为了小偷，”他说，“如果你有学上，那就是一个远离这些坏事的好机会。”)”可知，教育能给人带来光明的未来。故选B。

Showing gratitude helps you connect with positive emotions, focus on acknowledging the good, and shift your focus to positive aspects of life. (总之，每天进行感恩练习会有很大的不同。表达感激之情有助于你与积极的情绪建立联系，专注于承认美好，并将注意力转移到生活的积极方面)”可知，本段是总结段落，作者再次强调了实施感恩练习的诸多好处，该空是全文尾句，应起到总结全文的作用，再结合全文讲日常生活中有关练习感恩的策略可知，作者应在该空呼吁读者要在生活中一直实施感恩，使其成为习惯，F选项“当它成为一种习惯时，你也会收获最大的回报”切合语境。故选F项。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国装饰中独特典雅的传统家具——屏风。
【解析】56．考查冠词。句意：中国屏门，又称屏风，是中国装饰中一种独特典雅的传统家具。分析句子可知，piece为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意可知，空处表示泛指，意为“一个，一种”，应用不定冠词，且unique的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
57．考查主语从句。句意：典型的是它是由木头制成的，外观精致。分析句子可知，此处为连接词引导的主语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用连接代词，结合句意可知，此处指的是事物，所以使用what，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填What。
58．考查形容词。句意：中国屏风以其雕刻和绘画而闻名，它可以阻挡外界的风和噪音，遮住门，使房间变得私密。分析句子可知，此处为形容词作宾语补足语，privacy的形容词private意为“私密的”。故填private。
59．考查介词。句意：中国人在装修房子的时候，非常注重自己的居住空间与周围环境的和谐。分析句子结构可知，此处应为固定短语“attach great importance to”意为“重视，注重”符合句意。故填to。
60．考查宾语从句。句意：建筑师认为屏风可以帮助控制房间内能量流动的方式，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作control的宾语，从句中不缺少主语和宾语，句意不完整，结合句意可知，从句中缺少方式状语，表示“怎样，如何”符合句意，所以此处应用连接副词how。故填how。
61．考查名词。句意：建筑师认为屏风可以帮助控制房间内的能量流动的方式，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为名词作of的宾语，且空处和peace并列，calm的名词calmness意为“平静”，为不可数名词。故填calmness。
62．考查过去分词。句意：屏风植根于中国文化和古代历史，它不仅仅是一个物理屏障或装饰。分析句子可知，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”结构，结合句意可知，take与its roots之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式taken。故填taken。
63．考查名词的数。句意：中国屏风除了具有装饰和实用功能外，还被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。分析句子可知，此处为名词作in addition to的宾语，结合空前的“its decorative and practical”可知，功能不止一个，function应用复数形式。故填functions。
64．考查谓语动词。句意：中国屏风除了具有装饰和实用功能外，还被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。分析句子可知，此处为句子的谓语，结合句意可知，此处在描述一般性的事实，时态应用一般现在时，consider主语the Chinese screen之间为被动关系，所以此处使用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数。故填is considered。
65．考查状语从句中的省略。句意：无论是用来划分房间，营造私密性，还是为空间增添一丝传统的优雅，中国屏风仍然是一种受人喜爱和有价值的设计。分析句子可知，此处用了whether引导让步状语从句，且从句的主语和主句的主语一致，从句中省略了“主语+be”，use与被省略的主语the Chinese screen之间是被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填used。

67．【答案】Abruptly, a woman stormed forward and grabbed the scoop. She clenched her fist, knitted her eyebrows and glared at Scott. Suddenly, she held the scoop high and roared to blame. Meanwhile, a flush of dissatisfaction and then fury overwhelming the crowd, they began to yell. Evidently, Scott was scared, rooted to the spot, with his forehead sweaty and his face pale. At the sight of this, I stepped forward, cleared my throat and shouted to explain Scott’s spirit of devotion despite disability. Astonishment and then silence took hold of the crowd, after which she apologized and returned the scoop.
Tears blurred his eyes as Scott got hold of the scoop again. He strained every nerve to control his hands to scoop ice cream. So regretful was the woman that she even came to assist him. Now, fully aware of the situation, the crowd settled down and stood in line. They beamed with smiles and offered words of encouragement as they received ice cream. As the last scoop of ice cream was served, a symphony of laughter and euphoria permeated the basement. It was at this moment that I came to the enlightenment that this experience was a testament of understanding, warmth and kindness.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，这篇文章讲述了一个年轻团体的冰淇淋活动，其中一个名叫Scott的残障人士在众人的嘲笑与失望中勇敢地尝试去参与。最初，他的手的颤抖导致冰淇淋到处乱飞，引起了不满和愤怒。但随后，有人解释了Scott的奉献精神，人们开始理解并帮助他。最终，活动圆满结束，展现了理解、温暖和善意的力量。
【详解】1、段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，一个女人冲上前抓起了冰激凌勺子。”可知，第一段可描写该女士对Scott的行为感到生气，对其责备和怒吼，并且描述Scott害怕和失落的情绪及表现，以及描写作者为Scott的情况进行解释。
②由第二段首句内容“当Scott再次拿起冰激凌勺子的时候，泪水模糊了他的双眼。”可知，第二段可描写Scott对作者的行为表示感激，并且愤怒女士了解Scott的情况后感到后悔，以及描写作者的感悟
2、续写线索：
女人生气病愤怒——Scott害怕并紧张——作者帮忙解释——Scott感激流泪再次尝试舀冰激凌——女士表示歉意及在场人士对其理解——作者感悟
