Holly Cooke wasn’t a fan of weekends.Whenever Friday rolled around， it was a reminder that she had no one to spend her spare time with.
“I was super isolated，” said Cooke， who relocated from Stoke-on-Trent — a city in central England — to London when she was 22.“I moved here knowing absolutely no one.” She had high hopes of going to restaurants， bars and the theater as she had done before， but she didn’t want to do those activities alone.“I was desiring community； people who wanted to hang out and have fun，” said Cooke， now 26.
She grew so desperate for company， she said， she eventually found herself Googling： “How to make friends in London.” The search proved mostly futile， though she found a few other women who were also lonely in London on some social media apps.
Cooke decided to create a Facebook group called “The London Lonely Girls Club”， and invited the people she connected with on the apps to join.She then asked everyone to meet for brunch （早午餐）.“It was so difficult，” she said， adding that she asked a friend from out of town to come in for the brunch， in case no one else showed up.“Saying that you’re lonely and you don’t have people around， admitting to that was really scary.”
Cooke was pleasantly surprised when five women showed up and they all got along well.This proved to Cooke that she was not alone in her loneliness， and that she could help others in the same situation.She decided to start planning meetups every few weeks， and word slowly spread about the Facebook group.Now， five years later， the London Lonely Girls Club has more than 35，000 members.
The London Lonely Girls Club organizes various types of gatherings， including park picnics， art lessons， dinners and yoga.For some events， attendees are charged a small fee of about $3 to cover deposits and other charges associated with securing a venue.
Cooke said she lost count of how many women have made lasting friendships through her group.“It’s beautiful and it’s rewarding， and it’s the reason I’ve carried on，” she said.“As long as there is a need， we will be here.”
24.What can we learn about Holly Cooke？
A.She was addicted to social media apps.
B.She got used to being alone on weekends.
C.She had very little time to make friends in London.
D.She used to meet friends on weekends when in Stoke-on-Trent.
25.What does the underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Unsuccessful. B.Unstoppable.
C.Responsive. D.Reliable.
26.Why did Holly Cooke ask a friend from out of town to come to the brunch？
A.She wanted to have an alternative plan in case the brunch didn’t go well.
B.She wanted to introduce her friend to the other women in the group.
C.She needed someone to help organize the meetup.
D.She was afraid that no one else would come.
27.What do we know about the London Lonely Girls Club？
A.It is well received. B.It is highly profitable.
C.It needs to be more creative. D.It takes ages to see the results.

When colds and flu hit， many people automatically turn to over-the-counter （OTC） medicines to push through and treat their symptoms （症状）.Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used， it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free.A study estimated that every year， 26，735 people went to the emergency room for adverse （有害的） events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.
When two or more drugs are used together， their interactions can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects.Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions， so it is very important for patients to ask their health care providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use.
It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses （剂量重复）.Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients， including pain relievers， nasal decongestants and cough suppressants or expectorants.A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.
While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines， some groups — including older adults， children and pregnant women — may be at greater risk.
Older people who are using prescribed （处方的） drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions.The aging body is not as expert at absorbing， distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are.This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicines to children under age 4.Because of a variety of factors， young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death.
28.What does the author suggest patients do in Paragraph 2？
A.Ask for advice from doctors. B.Buy medicines from hospitals.
C.Take drugs as early as possible. D.Read the package ingredients of drugs.
29.Why does the author mention cold medicines in Paragraph 3？
A.To stress the importance of learning about medicines’ ingredients.
B.To explain OTC medicines often have more than one ingredient.
C.To show cold medicines are more likely to cause bad effects.
D.To provide a medical choice for people who catch a cold.
30.What can we learn about older people in Paragraph 5？
A.Their desire for health makes them take more medicines.
B.Their body cannot deal with medicines easily.
C.They are more easily affected by diseases.
D.They cannot face aging positively.
31.What is a suitable title for the text？
A.Should Medicines Be Available “Over the Counter”？
B.How to Deal With an OTC Drug Overdose
C.Tips for Taking Over-the-Counter Drugs
D.OTC Medicines May Not Be Safe

Hearing loss may increase the risk of dementia （痴呆）， but using hearing aids lowered the risk so it’s similar to those without hearing loss， according to a new study.Researchers followed more than 437，000 people from the UK Biobank， a large biomedical database and research resource that follows local residents in the long term.They looked at each person’s risk of dementia， self-reported use of hearing aids and medical records to see if the person developed dementia.
“Our study provides the best evidence to date to suggest that hearing aids could be a minimally invasive， cost-effective treatment to reduce the potential impact of hearing loss on dementia，” corresponding author Dongshan Zhu， professor at Shandong University in China， said in a statement.“Our findings also point out the urgent need for the early introduction of hearing aids when someone starts to experience hearing damage.” The research accounted for other factors， including loneliness， social isolation and depression， but found that untreated hearing loss still had a strong association with dementia.
Tom Dening， a professor of dementia research， who wasn’t involved in the research， recently began wearing hearing aids.He hopes that these findings will help him care for patients better.“We need to use studies like this to encourage the public not to be ashamed of hearing problems，” he said， “and to seek treatment sooner rather than later.”
Many adults need hearing aids， but not enough use them.Dr Karina De Sousa， the lead author of a new study looking at over-the-counter （无需医师处方即可出售的） hearing aids， said， “There are many potential reasons people opt not to get hearing aids， but one has been the accessibility of the devices.” And this is the issue her study wants to tackle.
This small， preliminary （初步的） study found that a self-fitting， over-the-counter hearing aid could be as good an option for some people as those fitted by a hearing specialist.“One thing to remember is that over-the-counter hearing aids are not a one-size-fits-all option，” De Sousa added.“If you don’t meet the specified criteria （标准） for wearing an over-the-counter hearing aid， I would recommend seeking the help of a hearing professional.”
32.What are the new research’s findings based on？
A.A survey conducted by the UK Biobank.
B.The data collected from a large UK-based population.
C.An observation of dementia patients living in the UK.
D.The similarities between people with and without hearing loss.
33.What did Dongshan Zhu suggest about hearing aids？
A.They should be used in a careful way.
B.They are the best treatment option for hearing damage.
C.Their early use is recommended for hard-of-hearing people.
D.Their effectiveness in reducing dementia risks remains unclear.
34.What is Tom Dening’s attitude towards this new study？
A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring.
C.Critical. D.Appreciative.
35.What is the purpose of Dr Karina De Sousa’s study？
A.To design a smarter hearing aid.
B.To help make hearing aids more accessible.
C.To find a one-size-fits-all solution for hearing loss.
D.To prove hearing loss may increase dementia risks.

Lifelong Learning and the Future of Work：
Challenges and Opportunities
Our world is undergoing dramatic and transformative change — technological， organizational， and climatic — presenting new challenges to the future of work.These global trends are having a significant impact on skills. 36 .That is because skills acquired today may quickly become obsolete （淘汰的）.
The concept of lifelong learning has been around for decades and the ILO （International Labour Organization） has adopted numerous normative instruments and policies related to lifelong learning. 37 .In the old days， we could say let’s go to school， get qualified （使合格） for a job， enter the labour market and that’s the job of learning done.Now， people need to learn how to learn because learning is going to be a feature of the transitions （转变） they’re going to go through throughout their lives.
Lifelong learning affects us all. 38 ， from early childhood and basic education to adult learning and upskilling to take advantage of change.It is a global concept applying to developed and developing economies.And it requires the active engagement and support of governments， employers and workers.
39 ？ There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy.But there are things we can do.Develop foundational （基础的） and core work skills.Improve vocational （职业的） guidance and labour market data.Recognize both formal and informal skills learning.Improve coordination and ensure equitable access to learning.
Ultimately， lifelong learning is the key for people to be able to benefit from new ways of working. 40 .
A.Do I need to be active in lifelong learning
B.Many of today’s skills won’t match tomorrow’s jobs
C.How do we adapt lifelong learning to our new reality
D.It is central to managing the transitions we face over the life cycle
E.And it will light the path on our journey to a brighter future at work
F.It is easy to say that people need to keep learning throughout their careers
G.But the transformative change happening now is reshaping its definitions and giving it new importance

Until we start to lose our balance， we hardly notice it’s there at all， and that can happen 56 （early） than you might think.Health expert Dr Anna Lowe says， “Maybe you used to be able to quickly stand on one leg to put a shoe on， and you’ve stopped doing that at some point. 57 is easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to aging.But you can do something about it.”
Tai chi， 58 （practise） by an estimated 50 million people in China and more than three times that worldwide， 59 （be） one option.Studies have shown that as little as eight weeks of practice can improve older adults’ scores on the Tinetti test， 60 is commonly used as a measure of competence （能力） for basic 61 （task） such as rising from a chair and walking.
Longer periods of studies show further benefits， with the Yang-style proving 62 （slight） more effective than the faster-paced Sun-style.Again， 63 former typically uses a lower， more bent-legged stance （姿势） than the latter， 64 （suggest） that this style of balance is something to consider.
Whatever activity you choose 65 （do） — and whatever stage of life you’re at — the take-home lesson is to work on your balance before rather than after it becomes an issue.

It was a sunny day.Anabia， an 11-year-old girl， was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school.Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art.Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings， drawing， shading， colouring and much more.There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it.But there was one thing that was disturbing her today.
Recently， a new girl， Rida， had joined her class.She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was.Miss Saima， the art teacher， helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill.And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six.
Rida was quick， smart and intelligent.Anabia became jealous （嫉妒的） of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat.
So that day， for the art competition， Miss Saima took all the students to the art room， told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions.Anabia’s roll number was 16， while Rida was number 17.The bell rang， indicating the beginning of the contest.Miss Saima wrote on the board： make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat.
Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels （油画棒）.Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag.Then， after looking through the bag， she remembered that she had left them at home.So she got up to tell Miss Saima.
Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her， as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance.Anabia’s best friends were also there， but none of them offered to share anything， much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。

Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free， and the atmosphere inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It has 350 stores， eight night clubs， and a seven-acre park！ There are parking spaces for 12，750 cars. About 750，000 people shop every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina， Minnesota. Now people shop in malls， of course. They also eat in food houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies here. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall walking. Others go to malls to meet friends. In a word， now residents can actually live in their favourite shopping center.

27.A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的Now， five years later， the London Lonely Girls Club has more than 35，000 members.可知，The London Lonely Girls Club是很受欢迎的。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。乱用非处方药可能会带来危害。
28.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的it is very important for patients to ask their health care providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use可知，本段中作者建议患者购买非处方药前向医生咨询。
29.A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句和最后一句可知，如果同时服用单一成分药物和多成分药物，可能会导致服用的药物剂量超过安全范围。作者提到含多种成分的感冒药就是为了强调服药前阅读成分说明的重要性。
30.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的The aging body is not as expert at absorbing， distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are.可知，老年人的身体不能很好地处理药物。
31.D 标题归纳题。文章第一段第二句点明非处方药不是人们想象得那么安全，下文接着从同时服用多种药物可能带来的危害以及非处方药会对老人以及小孩带来伤害等角度论证了这一观点。因此，D项适合作本文标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，佩戴助听器能降低痴呆症发生的风险。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，研究人员追踪研究了来自英国生物银行的437000多名参与者的相关情况，而英国生物银行是一个长期追踪当地居民的大型生物医学数据库和研究资源库。由此可知，该项研究是基于大量英国居民的数据。
33.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Our findings also point out ...experience hearing damage.可知，朱东山教授曾提到，这项研究结果指出，当有人开始感到听力受损时，那他们就急需在早期佩戴助听器。也就是说，有听力障碍的人应该尽早使用助听器。
34.D 观点态度题。根据第三段中Tom Dening的话可知，他认为我们需要通过像山东大学这样的研究来鼓励公众不要因听觉障碍问题而感到羞耻，治疗宜早不宜晚。由此可推知，Tom Dening对这项新研究是持赞赏态度的。
35.B 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，人们不使用助听器的潜在原因有很多，其中一个原因就是助听器的可及性，即是否容易买到助听器。这就是她的研究想要解决的问题。也就是说，Dr Karina De Sousa研究的目的是让助听器变得更容易获得。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。随着时代的进步，终身学习变得愈加重要。
36.B 设空处和空后一句之间是因果关系。设空处前、后句均提到技能，故设空处也和技能有关，B项（今天的许多技能无法与明天的工作相匹配）符合语境，因为今天掌握的技能很快会被淘汰。空后一句中的That指代B项的内容。
37.G 设空处和空前一句之间是转折关系。根据空后两句可知，“终身学习”这个概念在今天有所改变，因此，G项（但现在正在发生的变革正在重塑其定义，并赋予其新的重要性）符合语境。
38.D 设空处承接空前一句，且统领该句后半部分。后半部分中的early childhood和adult呼应D项中的over the life cycle。
39.C 设空处引出本段主题。设空处后面内容为实现终身学习的具体方法，故设空处应提到如何实现终身学习，C项（我们如何使终身学习适应新的现实）符合语境。
40.E 设空处和空前一句之间是并列关系，共同说明终身学习对适应未来社会变革的重要意义。E项符合语境。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。五年级老师教会“我”合理利用时间，这让“我”受益一生。
41.C 根据下文的Unpack your assignments.可知，离下课铃声响起还有几分钟的时候，“我”就开始整理书包。
42.D 根据上文的Unpack your assignments.和下文的The more you do here in class， the less you have to do at home可知，老师建议“我”继续学习，直到下课。
43.B 根据下文的I cannot remember how many times per day she would say， “Use your time wisely.”可知，“我”知道老师不是在开玩笑，她是认真的。
44.D 根据上文的Having no alternative和下文中的I stuffed my homework in my backpack可知，“我”不情愿地拿出数学作业，逐个完成题目。
45.A 参见上题解析。
46.C 下课铃终于响了，“我”以最快的速度把作业塞进了书包，冲出了教室。
47.A 参见上题解析。
48.B 根据上文的It worked.和下文的In middle school，I continued the ...以及I instilled that mindset in nearly every ...可知，铃声响起后才停止学习成了“我”的第二特质。
49.D 根据下文的I worked on my assignments until the bell rang.可知，上中学后，“我”还继续坚持老师教给“我”的这个做法。
50.A 根据下文的The more I did in class， the more time off I had at home for projects and hobbies.可知，老师是对的，“我”把这种心态运用到了“我”成年生活的方方面面。
51.C 参见上题解析。
52.D 根据下文的I do now.Learning how to use your time wisely also means ...可知，十岁的时候，“我”并不理解“合理利用时间”的真正含义。
53.B 根据下文的being able to prioritize your life可知，学会合理利用时间也意味着学会了安排生活中的重要事务。
54.C 根据下文的but in enjoying those moments可知，这不仅是关于时间管理的一课，也让“我”学会了享受时光，珍惜与所爱之人度过的每分每秒。
55.B 参见上题解析。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了练太极拳有助于提高身体的平衡能力。
56.earlier 考查副词的比较级。根据空后的than可知，应用副词的比较级，故填earlier。
57.It 考查代词。设空处在句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to either miss the signs or just put it down to aging，故填It。
58.practised 考查非谓语动词。设空处作后置定语修饰Tai chi，又因为Tai chi与practise之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故填practised。
59.is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，此处是对客观事实的描述，应用一般现在时，又因为主语是Tai chi，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，故填is。
60.which 考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the Tinetti test，且在从句中作主语，故填which。
61.tasks 考查名词复数。task是可数名词，意为“工作；任务”，此处表泛指，再根据后面的such as rising from a chair and walking可知，应用其复数形式，故填tasks。
62.slightly 考查词形转换。设空处在句中作状语，修饰more effective，应用副词，故填slightly，意为“略微；稍微”。
63.the 考查冠词。设空处特指上文提及的the Yang-style，故填定冠词the。
64.suggesting 考查非谓语动词。设空处与that this style of balance is something to consider一起在句中作状语，且其逻辑主语与suggest之间是主谓关系，故填suggesting。
65.to do 考查非谓语动词。choose to do sth意为“选择做某事”，故填to do。

参考范文：
Anabia’s eyes filled with tears.Rida， overhearing the conversation， immediately offered help.Anabia felt very grateful.After completing her work， Anabia felt guilty about how she had been feeling jealous of such a kind-natured girl.When the contest ended， she went to Rida and said hesitantly.“I never realised you were so caring.You always did things so well， and that made me jealous and I said bad things about you.I’m sorry.” “Look， I also used to judge people sometimes.But later I found they were not as I had e on， it’s okay to feel this way sometimes，” Rida said with a smile.

（Text 1）
M：I’ll have the steak， French fries and chocolate ice cream for dessert.
W：Oh， no， you know these things are bad for your health. How about
ordering some vegetables and fruits instead？
（Text 2）
W：I hate to say it， but Jacky isn’t doing well in the new film.
M：Well， I think he’s only playing a different type of role. My sister
thinks he is still the best.
（Text 3）
M：I met Sam on the street today.
W：Really？ Did he say something about his sister？
M：Yes. Betty ought to be leaving New York very soon， because her
husband， John， has taken a job in Los Angeles.
（Text 4）
M：A power cut. Oh， I have to hand in this report tomorrow.
W：Just take out your cell phone to get the candle in the drawer.
M：OK.
（Text 5）
W：Did you see what that young man did？
M：No. I was looking at the other way.
W：He made a U-turn in the middle of the block and almost hit a boy on a
bicycle.
M：Drivers get crazier these days.
（Text 6）
W：What are you looking at， Jim？
M：I’m reading an article about the world’s homeless population.
W：Homeless population？
M：Yes， sociologists define homeless people as those who have no fixed
shelter on any given night. These figures show five countries with large
homeless population.
W：Wow， that’s amazing. I never realized that there were so many
homeless people in Germany and France.
M：You know what？ Our own country the USA ranks number one among
these countries！
W：Surely not！ India tops the list with three million homeless people.
M：Well， it depends on how you look at it. Although we have a million
fewer homeless people than India， we have the highest percentage of
homeless people.
（Text 7）

do you come to the club？

pool.

M：OK. You know， we offer lessons here. I’m sure our trainer can help
you.
（Text 8）
W：People are not so honest as they once were.
M：Why do you say so？
W：Some people are tempted to steal in large shops.
M：Did you catch one of them？
W：Yes， on Monday morning. There were few people in the shop， so I
could catch the thief easily.
M：Was it a man or a woman？
W：A middle-aged woman. She first bought some small articles. Then she
chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop.
M：Did she catch the dress away quickly regardless of the assistants？
W：Certainly not. An assistant wrapped it up for her and helped her walk
out of the shop without paying.
M：An assistant？ How could she do that？
W：She is the daughter of the woman. The girl “gave” her mother a free
dress once a week！
（Text 9）
W：Good morning， sir. What can I do for you？

it’s necessary.
W：You’re smart to buy it. At 45 dollars for three days， it is a good deal.
M：Can I return the car in San Francisco？
W：San Francisco？ No， sir. We only have this office here. You will
have to return it here in Los Angeles.
M：OK. It will be fun driving back down the coast. My girlfriend will like
it.
W：It’s a beautiful drive.
M：Where are the keys？
W：Just a moment， sir. We have to finish filling out the forms first.

Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so
much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats shop until
they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.
People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have
police stations or private security guards. Parking is usually free， and the
atmosphere inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest
areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in
Minnesota. It has 350 stores， eight night clubs， and a seven-acre park！
There are parking spaces for 12，750 cars. About 750，000 people shop
every week.
The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina，
Minnesota. Now people shop in malls， of course. They also eat in food
houses that have food from all over the world. They see movies here. Some
people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of mall
walking. Others go to malls to meet friends. In a word， now residents can
actually live in their favourite shopping center.

Holly Cooke wasn’t a fan of weekends.Whenever Friday rolled
around， it was a reminder that she had no one to spend her spare time
with.
“I was super isolated，” said Cooke， who relocated from Stoke-
on-Trent — a city in central England — to London when she was 22.“I
moved here knowing absolutely no one.” She had high hopes of going to
restaurants， bars and the theater as she had done before， but she didn’t
want to do those activities alone.“I was desiring community； people
who wanted to hang out and have fun，” said Cooke， now 26.
She grew so desperate for company， she said， she eventually found
herself Googling： “How to make friends in London.” The search
proved mostly futile， though she found a few other women who were also
lonely in London on some social media apps.
Cooke decided to create a Facebook group called “The London
Lonely Girls Club”， and invited the people she connected with on the
apps to join.She then asked everyone to meet for brunch （早午餐）.“It
was so difficult，” she said， adding that she asked a friend from out of
town to come in for the brunch， in case no one else showed up.“Saying
that you’re lonely and you don’t have people around， admitting to that
was really scary.”
Cooke was pleasantly surprised when five women showed up and they
all got along well.This proved to Cooke that she was not alone in her
loneliness， and that she could help others in the same situation.She
decided to start planning meetups every few weeks， and word slowly
spread about the Facebook group.Now， five years later， the London
Lonely Girls Club has more than 35，000 members.
The London Lonely Girls Club organizes various types of
gatherings， including park picnics， art lessons， dinners and yoga.For
some events， attendees are charged a small fee of about $3 to cover
deposits and other charges associated with securing a venue.
Cooke said she lost count of how many women have made lasting
friendships through her group.“It’s beautiful and it’s rewarding， and it’s
the reason I’ve carried on，” she said.“As long as there is a need， we
will be here.”

A. She was addicted to social media apps.

Stoke-on-Trent的时候，经常在周末见朋友。

解析： 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的Cooke decided to create a
Facebook group ...and invited the people she connected with on the

因此她才决定创立一个Facebook group，并且约见在网上交到的几
个女性朋友。
26. Why did Holly Cooke ask a friend from out of town to come to the
brunch？
A. She wanted to have an alternative plan in case the brunch didn’t go well.
B. She wanted to introduce her friend to the other women in the group.
C. She needed someone to help organize the meetup.
D. She was afraid that no one else would come.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的she asked a friend from out
of town to come in for the brunch， in case no one else showed up可
知，约见网上认识的朋友时，Cooke担心没人去，所以叫了她外地
的朋友。
27. What do we know about the London Lonely Girls Club？

B. It is highly profitable.
C. It needs to be more creative.

When colds and flu hit， many people automatically turn to over-the-
counter （OTC） medicines to push through and treat their symptoms
（症状）.Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely
used， it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not
risk-free.A study estimated that every year， 26，735 people went to the
emergency room for adverse （有害的） events related to OTC cold and
cough medicines.
When two or more drugs are used together， their interactions can
sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects.Physicians are typically
knowledgeable about potential drug interactions， so it is very important
for patients to ask their health care providers which OTC medicines are
safe for them to use.
It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines
closely to avoid duplication of doses （剂量重复）.Cold medicines are
typically made up of multiple ingredients， including pain relievers，
nasal decongestants and cough suppressants or expectorants.A person who
takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient
medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.
While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold
and flu medicines， some groups — including older adults， children and
pregnant women — may be at greater risk.
Older people who are using prescribed （处方的） drugs to treat
multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions
because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to
treat different conditions.The aging body is not as expert at absorbing，
distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are.This can put
older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions
with some medicines.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicines to
children under age 4.Because of a variety of factors， young children have
a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead
to death.

同时服用单一成分药物和多成分药物，可能会导致服用的药物剂
量超过安全范围。作者提到含多种成分的感冒药就是为了强调服
药前阅读成分说明的重要性。
30. What can we learn about older people in Paragraph 5？

B. Their body cannot deal with medicines easily.

A. Should Medicines Be Available “Over the Counter”？
B. How to Deal With an OTC Drug Overdose
C. Tips for Taking Over-the-Counter Drugs
D. OTC Medicines May Not Be Safe
解析： 标题归纳题。文章第一段第二句点明非处方药不是人们
想象得那么安全，下文接着从同时服用多种药物可能带来的危害
以及非处方药会对老人以及小孩带来伤害等角度论证了这一观
点。因此，D项适合作本文标题。
D
Hearing loss may increase the risk of dementia （痴呆）， but using
hearing aids lowered the risk so it’s similar to those without hearing loss，
according to a new study.Researchers followed more than 437，000 people
from the UK Biobank， a large biomedical database and research resource
that follows local residents in the long term.They looked at each person’s
risk of dementia， self-reported use of hearing aids and medical records to
see if the person developed dementia.
“Our study provides the best evidence to date to suggest that hearing
aids could be a minimally invasive， cost-effective treatment to reduce the
potential impact of hearing loss on dementia，” corresponding author
Dongshan Zhu， professor at Shandong University in China， said in a
statement.“Our findings also point out the urgent need for the early
introduction of hearing aids when someone starts to experience hearing
damage.” The research accounted for other factors， including
loneliness， social isolation and depression， but found that untreated
hearing loss still had a strong association with dementia.
Tom Dening， a professor of dementia research， who wasn’t
involved in the research， recently began wearing hearing aids.He hopes
that these findings will help him care for patients better.“We need to use
studies like this to encourage the public not to be ashamed of hearing
problems，” he said， “and to seek treatment sooner rather than later.”
Many adults need hearing aids， but not enough use them.Dr Karina
De Sousa， the lead author of a new study looking at over-the-counter
（无需医师处方即可出售的） hearing aids， said， “There are many
potential reasons people opt not to get hearing aids， but one has been the
accessibility of the devices.” And this is the issue her study wants to
tackle.
This small， preliminary （初步的） study found that a self-fitting，
over-the-counter hearing aid could be as good an option for some people as
those fitted by a hearing specialist.“One thing to remember is that over-
the-counter hearing aids are not a one-size-fits-all option，” De Sousa
added.“If you don’t meet the specified criteria （标准） for wearing an
over-the-counter hearing aid， I would recommend seeking the help of a
hearing professional.”

症发生的风险。
本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，佩戴助听器能降低痴呆
症发生的风险。
32. What are the new research’s findings based on？
A. A survey conducted by the UK Biobank.
B. The data collected from a large UK-based population.
C. An observation of dementia patients living in the UK.
D. The similarities between people with and without hearing loss.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，研究人员追踪研
究了来自英国生物银行的437000多名参与者的相关情况，而英国
生物银行是一个长期追踪当地居民的大型生物医学数据库和研究
资源库。由此可知，该项研究是基于大量英国居民的数据。
33. What did Dongshan Zhu suggest about hearing aids？
A. They should be used in a careful way.
B. They are the best treatment option for hearing damage.
C. Their early use is recommended for hard-of-hearing people.
D. Their effectiveness in reducing dementia risks remains unclear.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Our findings also point
out ...experience hearing damage.可知，朱东山教授曾提到，这项研
究结果指出，当有人开始感到听力受损时，那他们就急需在早期
佩戴助听器。也就是说，有听力障碍的人应该尽早使用助听器。
34. What is Tom Dening’s attitude towards this new study？
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring.
C. Critical. D. Appreciative.
解析： 观点态度题。根据第三段中Tom Dening的话可知，他认
为我们需要通过像山东大学这样的研究来鼓励公众不要因听觉障
碍问题而感到羞耻，治疗宜早不宜晚。由此可推知，Tom Dening
对这项新研究是持赞赏态度的。
35. What is the purpose of Dr Karina De Sousa’s study？
A. To design a smarter hearing aid.
B. To help make hearing aids more accessible.
C. To find a one-size-fits-all solution for hearing loss.
D. To prove hearing loss may increase dementia risks.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，人们不使用助听器
的潜在原因有很多，其中一个原因就是助听器的可及性，即是否
容易买到助听器。这就是她的研究想要解决的问题。也就是说，
Dr Karina De Sousa研究的目的是让助听器变得更容易获得。

Lifelong Learning and the Future of Work：
Challenges and Opportunities
Our world is undergoing dramatic and transformative change —
technological， organizational， and climatic — presenting new
challenges to the future of work.These global trends are having a
significant impact on skills. 36 .That is because skills acquired today
may quickly become obsolete （淘汰的）.
The concept of lifelong learning has been around for decades and the
ILO （International Labour Organization） has adopted numerous
normative instruments and policies related to lifelong learning. 37 .In
the old days， we could say let’s go to school， get qualified （使合格）
for a job， enter the labour market and that’s the job of learning
done.Now， people need to learn how to learn because learning is going to
be a feature of the transitions （转变） they’re going to go through
throughout their lives.
Lifelong learning affects us all. 38 ， from early childhood and
basic education to adult learning and upskilling to take advantage of
change.It is a global concept applying to developed and developing
economies.And it requires the active engagement and support of
governments， employers and workers.
39 ？ There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy.But there are things we
can do.Develop foundational （基础的） and core work skills.Improve
vocational （职业的） guidance and labour market data.Recognize both
formal and informal skills learning.Improve coordination and ensure
equitable access to learning.
Ultimately， lifelong learning is the key for people to be able to
benefit from new ways of working. 40 .
A. Do I need to be active in lifelong learning
B. Many of today’s skills won’t match tomorrow’s jobs
C. How do we adapt lifelong learning to our new reality
D. It is central to managing the transitions we face over the life cycle
E. And it will light the path on our journey to a brighter future at work
F. It is easy to say that people need to keep learning throughout their
careers
G. But the transformative change happening now is reshaping its
definitions and giving it new importance

加重要。
36. B 设空处和空后一句之间是因果关系。设空处前、后句均提到技
能，故设空处也和技能有关，B项（今天的许多技能无法与明天的工
作相匹配）符合语境，因为今天掌握的技能很快会被淘汰。空后一句
中的That指代B项的内容。
37. G 设空处和空前一句之间是转折关系。根据空后两句可知，“终
身学习”这个概念在今天有所改变，因此，G项（但现在正在发生的
变革正在重塑其定义，并赋予其新的重要性）符合语境。
38. D 设空处承接空前一句，且统领该句后半部分。后半部分中的
early childhood和adult呼应D项中的over the life cycle。
39. C 设空处引出本段主题。设空处后面内容为实现终身学习的具体
方法，故设空处应提到如何实现终身学习，C项（我们如何使终身学
习适应新的现实）符合语境。
40. E 设空处和空前一句之间是并列关系，共同说明终身学习对适应
未来社会变革的重要意义。E项符合语境。

Until we start to lose our balance， we hardly notice it’s there at all，
and that can happen 56 （early） than you might think.Health expert
Dr Anna Lowe says， “Maybe you used to be able to quickly stand on
one leg to put a shoe on， and you’ve stopped doing that at some
point. 57 is easy to either miss the signs or just put it down to
aging.But you can do something about it.”
Tai chi， 58 （practise） by an estimated 50 million people in
China and more than three times that worldwide， 59 （be） one
option.Studies have shown that as little as eight weeks of practice can
improve older adults’ scores on the Tinetti test， 60 is commonly used
as a measure of competence （能力） for basic 61 （task） such as
rising from a chair and walking.
Longer periods of studies show further benefits， with the Yang-style
proving 62 （slight） more effective than the faster-paced Sun-
style.Again， 63 former typically uses a lower， more bent-legged
stance （姿势） than the latter， 64 （suggest） that this style of
balance is something to consider.
Whatever activity you choose 65 （do） — and whatever stage
of life you’re at — the take-home lesson is to work on your balance before
rather than after it becomes an issue.

第二节（满分25分）
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 a sunny day.Anabia， an 11-year-old girl， was excited
because today was the drawing contest at her school.Anabia was really
good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art.Her teachers
would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during
free periods to help with cuttings， drawing， shading， colouring and
much more.There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia
had worked really hard and wanted to win it.But there was one thing that
was disturbing her today.
Recently， a new girl， Rida， had joined her class.She was also
interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was.Miss
Saima， the art teacher， helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to
improve her drawing skill.And now Rida was also considered among the
best artists in grade six.
Rida was quick， smart and intelligent.Anabia became jealous （嫉
妒的） of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to
beat.
So that day， for the art competition， Miss Saima took all the
students to the art room， told them their roll numbers and gave important
instructions.Anabia’s roll number was 16， while Rida was number 17.The
bell rang， indicating the beginning of the contest.Miss Saima wrote on the
board： make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat.
Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels （油
画棒）.Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag.Then， after
looking through the bag， she remembered that she had left them at
home.So she got up to tell Miss Saima.
Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her
that she could not help her， as it was her responsibility to come prepared
for the contest that had been announced a week in advance.Anabia’s best
friends were also there， but none of them offered to share anything，
much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Anabia’s eyes filled with tears.
Then Rida held Anabia’s hand， and the two girls waited for the
winners to be announced.
参考范文：
Anabia’s eyes filled with tears.Rida， overhearing the conversation，
immediately offered help.Anabia felt very grateful.After completing her
work， Anabia felt guilty about how she had been feeling jealous of such a
kind-natured girl.When the contest ended， she went to Rida and said
hesitantly.“I never realised you were so caring.You always did things so
well， and that made me jealous and I said bad things about you.I’m
sorry.” “Look， I also used to judge people sometimes.But later I found
they were not as I had e on， it’s okay to feel this way
sometimes，” Rida said with a smile.
Then Rida held Anabia’s hand， and the two girls waited for the
winners to be announced.Finally， Rida got the second place and the first
prize went to Anabia.Anabia excitedly walked up to the stage and spoke，
“I’m really happy to win this prize， but happier that I found a new，
caring and trustworthy friend today.The story behind finding such a nice
friend is that I forgot my pastels and would not be standing here if Rida had
not shared her pastels with me.It is only because of you， Rida， that I
have this prize.Thanks， my dear friend！”
谢谢观看！
