It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. “Pairs’s eyes rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR ”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen，the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’s heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”
21．What happened to Paris on a March day
A．She caught a bad cold.
B．She had a sudden heart problem.
C．She was knocked down by a ball.
D．She shivered terribly during practice.
22．Why does Paris say she was lucky
A．She made a worthy friend.
B．She recovered from shock.
C．She received immediate CPR.
D．She came back on the softball team.
23．Which of the following words can best describe Taylor
A．Enthusiastic and kind.
B．Courageous and calm.
C．Cooperative and generous.
D．Ambitious and professional.
Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂
24．What can we learn about the worms in the study
A．They take plastics as their everyday food.
B．They are newly evolved creatures.
C．They can consume plastics.
D．They wind up in landfills.
25．According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .
A．identify other means of the breakdown
B．find out the source of the enzyme
C．confirm the research findings
D．increase the breakdown speed
26．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A．help to raise worms
B．help make plastic bags
C．be used to clean the oceans
D．be produced in factories in future
27．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain a study method on worms.
B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C．To present a way to break down plastics.
D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.
Man invented a number of means to cover distance — cars, planes, radio, TV, computers, spaceships, etc. 28 Reading is real fun, isn’t it It is a fantastic journey into the past or the future, a true love story or a serious novel to challenge your thoughts, a detective or something funny if you like humour.
You could see a lot of people, old and young, reading in many different places — in a park or on a bus, in a plane or on a beach. It might be a magazine or a newspaper, a volume of poems or a lengthy novel. 29 They tell you a lot about life, people, and the fast changing world. They develop imagination, love for word and expression and awaken a wish in you to create something. It is hard to imagine life without books.
30 We sometimes look through the book to see what it is about. We may just want to get the general idea from a newspaper article, a report, or a book in a bookshop. This type of reading is called skimming reading.
Quick reading is also practiced when we want to get a particular piece of information, such as a date or a telephone number. This is called scanning. We scan timetables, telephone directories, dictionaries and web pages.
But if we want to get the detailed information, we read slowly and carefully. This is called intensive reading, or study reading. 31 We consult dictionaries if necessary. We take notes to remember something important, such as a mathematical quotation (引证).
Reading fiction, a novel or a favourite poem, is also intensive reading. It needs training and special skills to understand the entire content, the beauty of the expression. 32 It makes you laugh your head off or cry your heart out.
A．In the latter case we check the meaning not to misunderstand something.
B．Books help you understand the world and yourself better.
C．But up till now, there has been only one way to cover time — books.
D．You get involved in the story.
E．Scanning is used when we need to locate special information.
F．Reading can be a social activity.
G．We read in many different ways and at different speeds.
Upgrade your problems
In 2017, I spent all my money buying my first flat — which meant I had no money to fix my first homeowner’s problem. I was sleeping on an air mattress because I couldn’t afford furniture. Then I noticed a leaky pipe under the bath, which created a wet puddle (水坑). I couldn’t afford a plumber (水管工) but I didn’t want to introduce myself to the neighbour by crashing through their wet ceiling.
The only option left for me was that I had to solve the problem on my own. I took the bus to a nearby store and talked with the nice guy behind the counter. He explained how to fix it and sold me a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework. I went back home, pushed my head under the bath, and got the job done.
It taught me a lesson that has since become a bit of motto for me: Upgrade your problems.
Having a wet bathroom floor is a problem — and the day before I bought the place, I would have had a landlord to call. But once the place was mine, this became my problem. I saw this as progress: You must own your own property to take care of this sort of situation.
Years later, when I founded my professional services company with my business partner, Adam, this motto became core to how we approach the business. There have been many problems, and there will continue to be new ones. However, we remember the reason we have these problems — it’s because we run our own business! A late-paying customer is a problem, but it’s one we encounter only if we have paying customers.
That is why I still keep the pipe cutter on my desk today. It reminds me that, no matter my level of frustration (挫败), I am fortunate to face the problems I do. The more I solve them, the more I upgrade to even better ones.
33．What did the author notice in his first flat
34．How did the author solve his problem with the bath
35．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him of his success in business.
36．What else would you do when you encounter problems in life (In about 40 words)

【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．C
【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种吃塑料的虫子大蜡螟，它胃中的酶能够降解塑料，这为解决塑料污染提供了新的途径。
【解析】24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic.可知，研究结果发现，蠕虫分解日常食物的能力让它们可以分解塑料，也就是说它们可以消费塑料。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第四段The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物) 可知，下一步研究是辨清分解的原因，查明这种酶来源于哪里，是虫子自己产生的还是它肠道里的微生物产生的。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可以推断出，Bertocchini希望这种化学物质将来能在工业生产中使用，而不是仅仅依靠蠕虫来分解塑料。故选D。
27．写作意图题。根据文章第一段最后一句So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.可知，有一种新的方法被用于分解塑料。再根据最后一段最后一句But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可知，Bertocchini希望将这种方法推广到工业中。由此可以推知写作意图为介绍一种分解塑料的方法。故选C。
点睛：根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的，通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点），常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息），多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。本题的最后一题为写作意图题。文章为说明文，主要介绍了一项新的研究发现---蠕虫可以分解塑料。因此可以推着写作意图是告知、告诉读者一种新的分解塑料的方法。
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．G 31．A 32．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕阅读这一主题，详细介绍了阅读的不同方式（略读、扫读、精读）以及阅读带来的益处。
【解析】28．根据前文“Man invented a number of means to cover distance — cars, planes, radio, TV, computers, spaceships, etc.(人类发明了诸多跨越空间距离的工具——汽车、飞机、收音机、电视、计算机、宇宙飞船等等)”以及后文“Reading is real fun, isn’t it It is a fantastic journey into the past or the future, a true love story or a serious novel to challenge your thoughts, a detective or something funny if you like humour.(阅读的乐趣妙不可言，不是吗？它可以是穿越古今未来的奇幻之旅，可以是让你思考人生的严肃小说，也可以是真实的爱情故事；若你偏爱幽默，侦探小说或滑稽小品同样唾手可得)”可知，前文提到很多跨越空间距离的工具，后文提到书籍，所以空处应是一个过渡句，C项“But up till now, there has been only one way to cover time — books.(但迄今为止，只有一种方式能穿越时间——书籍)”符合文意，承接上文，引出下文。故选C项。
29．根据后文“They tell you a lot about life, people, and the fast changing world. They develop imagination, love for word and expression and awaken a wish in you to create something. It is hard to imagine life without books.(它们会告诉你很多关于生活、人和快速变化的世界的事情。他们培养想象力，对文字和表达的热爱，唤醒你创造的愿望。很难想象没有书的生活)”可知，此处讲述阅读的好处，所以B项“Books help you understand the world and yourself better.(书籍帮助你更好地了解世界和你自己)”符合此处主题，引出下文。故选B项。
30．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“We sometimes look through the book to see what it is about. We may just want to get the general idea from a newspaper article, a report, or a book in a bookshop. This type of reading is called skimming reading.(我们有时翻看这本书，看看它讲的是什么。我们可能只是想从一篇报纸文章、一篇报告或书店里的一本书中得到大致的概念。这种阅读方式被称为略读)”以及下一段内容可知，此处讲述不同的阅读方式，所以G项“We read in many different ways and at different speeds.(我们以不同的方式和速度阅读)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选G项。
31．根据前文“But if we want to get the detailed information, we read slowly and carefully. This is called intensive reading, or study reading.(但是如果我们想获得详细的信息，我们就会慢慢地仔细阅读。这被称为精读，或研究阅读)”以及后文“We consult dictionaries if necessary. We take notes to remember something important, such as a mathematical quotation (引证).(必要时我们查阅字典。我们记笔记是为了记住一些重要的事情，比如数学引用)”可知，前文介绍两种阅读方式，后文讲述了阅读的方法，所以A项“In the latter case we check the meaning not to misunderstand something.(在后一种情况下，我们检查意思，以免误解某些东西)”承接上文，并引出下文，讲述方法，符合文意。故选A项。
32．根据前文“Reading fiction, a novel or a favourite poem, is also intensive reading. It needs training and special skills to understand the entire content, the beauty of the expression.(阅读小说、小说或最喜欢的诗歌，也是精读。它需要训练和特殊的技能来理解整个内容，表达的美)”以及后文“It makes you laugh your head off or cry your heart out.(它会让你笑得前仰后合，或者哭得伤心欲绝)”可知，前文讲述阅读需要技巧，后文讲述阅读会引导你的情绪，所以D项“You get involved in the story.(你会参与到故事中)”承接上文，运用技巧会让你参与到故事中，从而引导你的情绪，符合文意。故选D项。
【答案】33．A leaky pipe under the bath. 34．The author went to a store, and the guy behind the counter explained how to fix it. After buying a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework, he went home and got the job done./He solved the problem on his own. 35．The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him of his success in business.
The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him no matter his level of frustration, he is fortunate to face the problems. 36．Breaking down problems is a useful way to solve problems. Break down big problems into smaller, more specific tasks to make them easier to manage and solve. Tackle each task step by step and get closer to the final goal.
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了解决问题的方法和心态。
【解析】33．考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“Then I noticed a leaky pipe under the bath, which created a wet puddle (水坑). (然后我注意到浴缸下面有一根漏水的管子，造成了一个潮湿的水坑。)”可知，作者在他的第一套公寓里注意到了浴缸下面漏水的管子。故答案为A leaky pipe under the bath.
34．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“The only option left for me was that I had to solve the problem on my own. I took the bus to a nearby store and talked with the nice guy behind the counter. He explained how to fix it and sold me a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework. I went back home, pushed my head under the bath, and got the job done. (留给我的唯一选择就是我必须自己解决这个问题。我乘公共汽车去了附近的一家商店，和柜台后面的那个好人聊了聊。他向我解释如何修理它，并卖给我一个管钳和一些管道工具。我回到家，把头伸到浴缸下面，把活儿干完了。)”可知，作者咨询店员后，从商店买了修理工具，然后自己修好了水管。故答案为The author went to a store, and the guy behind the counter explained how to fix it. After buying a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework, he went home and got the job done.或He solved the problem on his own.
35．考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“That is why I still keep the pipe cutter on my desk today. It reminds me that, no matter my level of frustration (挫败), I am fortunate to face the problems I do. The more I solve them, the more I upgrade to even better ones. (这就是为什么我今天还把管钳放在我的桌子上。它提醒我，无论我有多沮丧，我都很幸运能够面对我所遇到的问题。我解决的问题越多，我就会升级到更好的问题。)”可知，直到今天，作者仍然把那把切管器放在他的桌子上，因为它提醒他，不管他有多沮丧，他都很幸运能够面对他所遇到的问题。故所给句中错误部分为“his success in business”，答案为The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him no matter his level of frustration, he is fortunate to face the problems.
36．开放试题。题目中问“当你在生活中遇到问题时，你还会做什么？”，也就是说不要和文章中的方法重复。我认为分解问题是解决问题的一种有用方法。将大问题分解为更小、更具体的任务，使其更易于管理和解决。一步一步地完成每项任务，离最终目标越来越近。故答案为Breaking down problems is a useful way to solve problems. Break down big problems into smaller, more specific tasks to make them easier to manage and solve. Tackle each task step by step and get closer to the final goal.
37．【答案】Dear Jim,

It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground. “Pairs’s eyes rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR ”
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen，the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’s heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”
21．What happened to Paris on a March day
A．She caught a bad cold.
B．She had a sudden heart problem.
C．She was knocked down by a ball.
D．She shivered terribly during practice.
22．Why does Paris say she was lucky
A．She made a worthy friend.
B．She recovered from shock.
C．She received immediate CPR.
D．She came back on the softball team.
23．Which of the following words can best describe Taylor
A．Enthusiastic and kind.
B．Courageous and calm.
C．Cooperative and generous.
D．Ambitious and professional.
Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic. ＂Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, ＂she explains, ＂The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. ＂
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂
24．What can we learn about the worms in the study
A．They take plastics as their everyday food.
B．They are newly evolved creatures.
C．They can consume plastics.
D．They wind up in landfills.
25．According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .
A．identify other means of the breakdown
B．find out the source of the enzyme
C．confirm the research findings
D．increase the breakdown speed
26．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A．help to raise worms
B．help make plastic bags
C．be used to clean the oceans
D．be produced in factories in future
27．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To explain a study method on worms.
B．To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C．To present a way to break down plastics.
D．To propose new means to keep eco-balance.
Man invented a number of means to cover distance — cars, planes, radio, TV, computers, spaceships, etc. 28 Reading is real fun, isn’t it It is a fantastic journey into the past or the future, a true love story or a serious novel to challenge your thoughts, a detective or something funny if you like humour.
You could see a lot of people, old and young, reading in many different places — in a park or on a bus, in a plane or on a beach. It might be a magazine or a newspaper, a volume of poems or a lengthy novel. 29 They tell you a lot about life, people, and the fast changing world. They develop imagination, love for word and expression and awaken a wish in you to create something. It is hard to imagine life without books.
30 We sometimes look through the book to see what it is about. We may just want to get the general idea from a newspaper article, a report, or a book in a bookshop. This type of reading is called skimming reading.
Quick reading is also practiced when we want to get a particular piece of information, such as a date or a telephone number. This is called scanning. We scan timetables, telephone directories, dictionaries and web pages.
But if we want to get the detailed information, we read slowly and carefully. This is called intensive reading, or study reading. 31 We consult dictionaries if necessary. We take notes to remember something important, such as a mathematical quotation (引证).
Reading fiction, a novel or a favourite poem, is also intensive reading. It needs training and special skills to understand the entire content, the beauty of the expression. 32 It makes you laugh your head off or cry your heart out.
A．In the latter case we check the meaning not to misunderstand something.
B．Books help you understand the world and yourself better.
C．But up till now, there has been only one way to cover time — books.
D．You get involved in the story.
E．Scanning is used when we need to locate special information.
F．Reading can be a social activity.
G．We read in many different ways and at different speeds.
Upgrade your problems
In 2017, I spent all my money buying my first flat — which meant I had no money to fix my first homeowner’s problem. I was sleeping on an air mattress because I couldn’t afford furniture. Then I noticed a leaky pipe under the bath, which created a wet puddle (水坑). I couldn’t afford a plumber (水管工) but I didn’t want to introduce myself to the neighbour by crashing through their wet ceiling.
The only option left for me was that I had to solve the problem on my own. I took the bus to a nearby store and talked with the nice guy behind the counter. He explained how to fix it and sold me a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework. I went back home, pushed my head under the bath, and got the job done.
It taught me a lesson that has since become a bit of motto for me: Upgrade your problems.
Having a wet bathroom floor is a problem — and the day before I bought the place, I would have had a landlord to call. But once the place was mine, this became my problem. I saw this as progress: You must own your own property to take care of this sort of situation.
Years later, when I founded my professional services company with my business partner, Adam, this motto became core to how we approach the business. There have been many problems, and there will continue to be new ones. However, we remember the reason we have these problems — it’s because we run our own business! A late-paying customer is a problem, but it’s one we encounter only if we have paying customers.
That is why I still keep the pipe cutter on my desk today. It reminds me that, no matter my level of frustration (挫败), I am fortunate to face the problems I do. The more I solve them, the more I upgrade to even better ones.
33．What did the author notice in his first flat
34．How did the author solve his problem with the bath
35．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him of his success in business.
36．What else would you do when you encounter problems in life (In about 40 words)

【解析】11．考查介词。句意：我心想：“他为什么要带着所有的书呢？”此处是固定搭配：think to oneself意为“暗暗地想”。故填to。
12．考查非谓语动词。句意：就在这时，一些孩子向他跑过来，把他怀里的书撞翻了。本句已有谓语动词ran，所以knock用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语some kids之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填knocking。
13．考查动词时态。句意：我很同情他，就跑到他跟前。根据and可知，本句是并列句，jog作后句谓语，根据前文的went可知，用一般过去时。故填jogged。
【答案】14．to rest 15．self-awareness 16．gives 17．edges
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在我们的生活中学会慢下来的好处。
【解析】14．考查非谓语动词。句意：花时间休息能让我们培养更深刻的自我意识。take the time to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“花时间做某事”，所以这里用to rest。故填to rest。
15．考查名词。句意同上。of是介词，后面接名词作宾语，self-aware的名词形式是self-awareness，意为“自我意识”。故填self-awareness。
16．考查动词时态。句意：当我们放慢节奏时，就为自己创造了反思思绪与情感的空间，这有助于我们明确生活中重要的方面，并让我们有机会做出正确的选择。and连接两个并列的谓语动词，helps是一般现在时的第三人称单数形式，此处为gives。故填gives。
17．考查名词。句意：为了践行这一点，我们需要在个人生活和职业生活中划定清晰的界限。edge意为“界限；边界”，是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且没有冠词限定，需填名词复数形式。故填edges。
【答案】18．A 19．B 20．B
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章是学校商店“The Lion’s Den”的宣传介绍。
【解析】18．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Money raised from sales will help purchase new music, costumes, and sound equipment for the choir.(从销售中筹集的资金将用于购买合唱团的新音乐、服装和音响设备。)”可知，The Lion’s Den筹集资金帮助学校合唱团。故选A。
19．细节理解题。根据Used Book Donations部分中“For every five books donated, receive a Lions Reward Coin good for 25 cents off your next purchase at the Lion’s Den. (每捐赠五本书，就可以获得一枚狮子奖励硬币，在the Lion’s Den下次购买时可以享受25美分的折扣。)”可知，如果你捐赠五本旧书，你可以得到一枚25美分折扣的狮子奖励硬币。故选B。
20．细节理解题。根据Save and Win部分中“Bring the following coupons (优惠券) in when you visit the Lion’s Den. You can save 20% off your first purchase, receive a free pen or pencil, and enter your name and grade in a drawing to win a T-shirt.(当你参观the Lion’s Den时，请携带以下优惠券。你可以节省20%的首单，获得一支免费的钢笔或铅笔，并在抽奖中输入你的名字和年级，以赢得一件T恤。)”可知，需要你的个人信息来赢得一件T恤。故选B。
【答案】21．B 22．C 23．B
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了垒球队一名女孩Paris在打球的过程中突发心力衰竭，队友Taylor紧急对Paris进行了心肺复苏，送往医院后她恢复了心跳的故事，旨在说明面临心力衰竭时，保持冷静并进行紧急心肺复苏的重要性。
【解析】21．细节理解题。根据第三段第一行，“It certainly was。 Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure。”可知，Paris突发心脏病，故B项正确。
22．推理判断题。根据第五段第二行“Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR”以及第六段整段中队友的协助，得到了及时CPR救助的Paris“heartbeat returned”， 所以Paris说自己非常的幸运。倒数第二段，“Experts say Paris is right。 For a sudden failure， the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly”，专家的话也印证了Paris获得了及时的救助，故C项正确。
23．推理判断题。根据第五段第二行“But when no one else came forward， Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR。”说明Taylor非常的勇敢，在没有人出来帮忙以及自己对自己不那么自信的情况下，她还是跑去救助了Paris。由第五段第三行Taylor 的话“It was scary。 I knew it was the difference between life and death。”以及第六段首句“Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down。”可知，Taylor是一个勇敢并且冷静的女孩，面对这种情况，她没有慌乱，用自己学习到的急救知识迅速行动并用自己的举动感染了队友，使她们镇静下来帮忙救助，故B项正确。
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．C
【分析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种吃塑料的虫子大蜡螟，它胃中的酶能够降解塑料，这为解决塑料污染提供了新的途径。
【解析】24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic.可知，研究结果发现，蠕虫分解日常食物的能力让它们可以分解塑料，也就是说它们可以消费塑料。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第四段The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物) 可知，下一步研究是辨清分解的原因，查明这种酶来源于哪里，是虫子自己产生的还是它肠道里的微生物产生的。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可以推断出，Bertocchini希望这种化学物质将来能在工业生产中使用，而不是仅仅依靠蠕虫来分解塑料。故选D。
27．写作意图题。根据文章第一段最后一句So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.可知，有一种新的方法被用于分解塑料。再根据最后一段最后一句But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply ＂millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.＂可知，Bertocchini希望将这种方法推广到工业中。由此可以推知写作意图为介绍一种分解塑料的方法。故选C。
点睛：根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的，通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点），常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息），多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。本题的最后一题为写作意图题。文章为说明文，主要介绍了一项新的研究发现---蠕虫可以分解塑料。因此可以推着写作意图是告知、告诉读者一种新的分解塑料的方法。
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．G 31．A 32．D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕阅读这一主题，详细介绍了阅读的不同方式（略读、扫读、精读）以及阅读带来的益处。
【解析】28．根据前文“Man invented a number of means to cover distance — cars, planes, radio, TV, computers, spaceships, etc.(人类发明了诸多跨越空间距离的工具——汽车、飞机、收音机、电视、计算机、宇宙飞船等等)”以及后文“Reading is real fun, isn’t it It is a fantastic journey into the past or the future, a true love story or a serious novel to challenge your thoughts, a detective or something funny if you like humour.(阅读的乐趣妙不可言，不是吗？它可以是穿越古今未来的奇幻之旅，可以是让你思考人生的严肃小说，也可以是真实的爱情故事；若你偏爱幽默，侦探小说或滑稽小品同样唾手可得)”可知，前文提到很多跨越空间距离的工具，后文提到书籍，所以空处应是一个过渡句，C项“But up till now, there has been only one way to cover time — books.(但迄今为止，只有一种方式能穿越时间——书籍)”符合文意，承接上文，引出下文。故选C项。
29．根据后文“They tell you a lot about life, people, and the fast changing world. They develop imagination, love for word and expression and awaken a wish in you to create something. It is hard to imagine life without books.(它们会告诉你很多关于生活、人和快速变化的世界的事情。他们培养想象力，对文字和表达的热爱，唤醒你创造的愿望。很难想象没有书的生活)”可知，此处讲述阅读的好处，所以B项“Books help you understand the world and yourself better.(书籍帮助你更好地了解世界和你自己)”符合此处主题，引出下文。故选B项。
30．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“We sometimes look through the book to see what it is about. We may just want to get the general idea from a newspaper article, a report, or a book in a bookshop. This type of reading is called skimming reading.(我们有时翻看这本书，看看它讲的是什么。我们可能只是想从一篇报纸文章、一篇报告或书店里的一本书中得到大致的概念。这种阅读方式被称为略读)”以及下一段内容可知，此处讲述不同的阅读方式，所以G项“We read in many different ways and at different speeds.(我们以不同的方式和速度阅读)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选G项。
31．根据前文“But if we want to get the detailed information, we read slowly and carefully. This is called intensive reading, or study reading.(但是如果我们想获得详细的信息，我们就会慢慢地仔细阅读。这被称为精读，或研究阅读)”以及后文“We consult dictionaries if necessary. We take notes to remember something important, such as a mathematical quotation (引证).(必要时我们查阅字典。我们记笔记是为了记住一些重要的事情，比如数学引用)”可知，前文介绍两种阅读方式，后文讲述了阅读的方法，所以A项“In the latter case we check the meaning not to misunderstand something.(在后一种情况下，我们检查意思，以免误解某些东西)”承接上文，并引出下文，讲述方法，符合文意。故选A项。
32．根据前文“Reading fiction, a novel or a favourite poem, is also intensive reading. It needs training and special skills to understand the entire content, the beauty of the expression.(阅读小说、小说或最喜欢的诗歌，也是精读。它需要训练和特殊的技能来理解整个内容，表达的美)”以及后文“It makes you laugh your head off or cry your heart out.(它会让你笑得前仰后合，或者哭得伤心欲绝)”可知，前文讲述阅读需要技巧，后文讲述阅读会引导你的情绪，所以D项“You get involved in the story.(你会参与到故事中)”承接上文，运用技巧会让你参与到故事中，从而引导你的情绪，符合文意。故选D项。
【答案】33．A leaky pipe under the bath. 34．The author went to a store, and the guy behind the counter explained how to fix it. After buying a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework, he went home and got the job done./He solved the problem on his own. 35．The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him of his success in business.
The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him no matter his level of frustration, he is fortunate to face the problems. 36．Breaking down problems is a useful way to solve problems. Break down big problems into smaller, more specific tasks to make them easier to manage and solve. Tackle each task step by step and get closer to the final goal.
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了解决问题的方法和心态。
【解析】33．考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“Then I noticed a leaky pipe under the bath, which created a wet puddle (水坑). (然后我注意到浴缸下面有一根漏水的管子，造成了一个潮湿的水坑。)”可知，作者在他的第一套公寓里注意到了浴缸下面漏水的管子。故答案为A leaky pipe under the bath.
34．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“The only option left for me was that I had to solve the problem on my own. I took the bus to a nearby store and talked with the nice guy behind the counter. He explained how to fix it and sold me a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework. I went back home, pushed my head under the bath, and got the job done. (留给我的唯一选择就是我必须自己解决这个问题。我乘公共汽车去了附近的一家商店，和柜台后面的那个好人聊了聊。他向我解释如何修理它，并卖给我一个管钳和一些管道工具。我回到家，把头伸到浴缸下面，把活儿干完了。)”可知，作者咨询店员后，从商店买了修理工具，然后自己修好了水管。故答案为The author went to a store, and the guy behind the counter explained how to fix it. After buying a pipe cutter and a bit of pipework, he went home and got the job done.或He solved the problem on his own.
35．考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“That is why I still keep the pipe cutter on my desk today. It reminds me that, no matter my level of frustration (挫败), I am fortunate to face the problems I do. The more I solve them, the more I upgrade to even better ones. (这就是为什么我今天还把管钳放在我的桌子上。它提醒我，无论我有多沮丧，我都很幸运能够面对我所遇到的问题。我解决的问题越多，我就会升级到更好的问题。)”可知，直到今天，作者仍然把那把切管器放在他的桌子上，因为它提醒他，不管他有多沮丧，他都很幸运能够面对他所遇到的问题。故所给句中错误部分为“his success in business”，答案为The author still keeps the pipe cutter on his desk today because it reminds him no matter his level of frustration, he is fortunate to face the problems.
36．开放试题。题目中问“当你在生活中遇到问题时，你还会做什么？”，也就是说不要和文章中的方法重复。我认为分解问题是解决问题的一种有用方法。将大问题分解为更小、更具体的任务，使其更易于管理和解决。一步一步地完成每项任务，离最终目标越来越近。故答案为Breaking down problems is a useful way to solve problems. Break down big problems into smaller, more specific tasks to make them easier to manage and solve. Tackle each task step by step and get closer to the final goal.
