Proud and delighted,I am standing here to introduce the Four Great Inventions of China to you,which include paper-making,printing,gunpowder,and the compass.
So significant are the Four Great Inventions that they have had an especially profound influence on global development.If there hadn't been paper-making and printing,human civilization and culture would not have been so well preserved and spread.If there hadn't been the compass,European sailors wouldn't have made breakthroughs in the sea exploration.
As a Chinese,I firmly believe that it is our duty to preserve them and make them play a more important role in the world.
[片段1]
Still shy and nervous,she customarily lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with others,numb there for seconds.But shortly afterwards,courage found its way back the moment she caught sight of the blue ribbon.Comforted and inspired,she took a deep breath,straightened her shoulders and then got started,“Dear fellow students,...” While presenting herself,Niesha glanced at Mr.Roberts smiling at her and listening attentively.
她仍然害羞和紧张,习惯性地低下头以避免与他人进行眼神交流,在那里麻木了几秒钟。但不久之后,当她看到蓝丝带的那一刻,勇气又回来了。感到欣慰和受到鼓舞,她深吸了一口气,挺直了肩膀,然后开始了,“亲爱的同学们……”在介绍自己的时候,妮莎瞥了一眼罗伯茨先生,罗伯茨先生在对她微笑,专心致志地听着。
[片段2]
Hands slightly trembling,Lisa gave Mr Matt her test paper and the books.Lisa confessed her spelling mistake in the test,a pink flush spreading over her cheeks.“I see.” Even though Mr Matt tried to contain his emotions,surprise registered on his face.Then he picked up a pen,crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” instead before handing the prize back to Lisa.Lisa's jaw dropped.Mr Matt grinned.“For honesty.”
丽莎的手微微颤抖着,把她的试卷和书本交给了马特先生。丽莎承认了自己在测试中的拼写错误,粉红色的红晕在她的脸颊上蔓延开来。“我明白了。”尽管马特先生试图控制自己的情绪,但他的脸上还是露出了惊讶之色。然后他拿起一支笔,划掉了“完美”这个词,并在将奖品递还给丽莎之前写下了“诚实”。丽莎惊掉了下巴。马特先生咧嘴一笑。“为了你的诚实。”

The living room is cleared.The host taps a wine glass with a knife,and people file in,filling the sofas and chairs that are pushed up against the walls.Soon every seat in the house is taken,and a bottle of schnapps is passed around.Lyon Hansen,who minutes before was knocking about in the kitchen,walks over and picks up a guitar and starts to play.Hoyma has begun.
For one night,homeowners primarily in Sydrugota,a small town on the Faroe Islands,open their doors,inviting friends,family and tourists in to enjoy intimate(亲密的) concerts by local artists.The tradition dates back nearly 500 years to a time when Faroese life had to move underground due to Danish rule.The culture and the language were kept alive in people's living rooms,where they gathered to sing and tell stories.
The modern Hoyma concert series started as an offshoot(分支) of the G! Festival,an annual musical event on the beaches of Eysturoy every summer since 2002.Around 2007,G! Festival's creator Jón Tyril,exhausted by all the red tape (繁文缛节) that came with putting on a big music festival,started to dream a little smaller.Specifically,he started to think about tiny concerts held in living rooms—no sound systems or spotlights,the audience made up of as many people as can fit
inside a house.The idea resounded in his mind,not only because it didn't involve any heavy lifting,physically or mentally,but also because it went back to the longstanding Faroese tradition.
Since 2007,Hoyma has featured 20 concerts in ten different family homes in Sydrugota.For Laksá,hosting the concerts is not only fun,but a way to give back,and to ensure the islands survive in the modern world.As in many families,her daughters grew up and left the Faroes.“They studied in the U.K.for nine years,but both came back,” she says.“I actually think that Hoyma is partly the reason why many children from this village that go abroad come back.They are proud of it.”

√
4.How does the author introduce the topic
A.By presenting a scene.
B.By evaluating an argument.
C.By clarifying a concept.
D.By making an assumption.
A [推理判断题。根据第一段“The living room is cleared.The host taps a wine glass with a knife,and people file in,filling the sofas and chairs that are pushed up against the walls.Soon every seat in the house is taken...Hoyma has begun.”可知,第一段描写了一场Hoyma小型家庭音乐会开始的场景,从而引出本文要谈论的对象——Hoyma音乐会。故选A。]

5.When can the tradition of Hoyma be traced to
A.A stage when the G! Festival was needed by the Faroese.
B.A period when only local artists were allowed to perform.
C.An occasion when people celebrated the encounters with tourists.
D.A time when freedom of the Faroese was limited because of Danish rule.
D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The tradition dates back nearly 500 years to a time when Faroese life had to move underground due to Danish rule.”可知,Hoyma音乐会的传统可以追溯到丹麦统治时期,当时法罗群岛的人们被限制了自由,不得不转入地下。故选D。]
6.What does Jón Tyril think of home concerts
A.Economical and varied.
B.Convenient and entirely original.
C.Accessible and profitable.
D.Simple and culturally attached.
√
D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Specifically,he started to think about tiny concerts held in living rooms—no sound systems or spotlights,the audience made up of as many people as can fit inside a house.The idea resounded in his mind,not only because it didn't involve any heavy lifting,physically or mentally,but also because it went back to the longstanding Faroese tradition.”可知,Jón Tyril考虑到了家庭音乐会的简单和文化相关性。故选D。]
7.What does the author indicate by mentioning Laksá and her daughters
A.Hoyma contributes to the survival of the islands.
B.Hoyma reflects the affection between mother and children.
C.Hoyma is gaining popularity across the globe in modern times.
D.Hoyma becomes entertaining with the involvement of the young.
√
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For Laksá,hosting the concerts is not only fun,but a way to give back,and to ensure the islands survive in the modern world.As in many families,her daughters grew up and left the Faroes.‘They studied in the U.K.for nine years,but both came back,’she says.‘I actually think that Hoyma is partly the reason why many children from this village that go abroad come back.They are proud of it.’”可知,Laksá认为举办Hoyma音乐会不仅很有趣,也是一种回馈和确保这些岛屿在现代世界中生存下来的方式,并讲述了她的女儿们出国留学后又回到法罗群岛的事情,认为这与Hoyma有密切的关系,由此可推测出,作者提到Laksá和女儿们的事情是为了表明Hoyma帮助法罗群岛在现代生活中生存下来。故选A。]

It's no secret that walking is good for you.Many of us are trying to get in those recommended 10,000 steps a day that our wearable fitness technology urges us to achieve.But how many calories are we actually burning,and how can we get the most out of those steps Find answers in these ways.
Do you know the truth about calorie-burning Walking is a moderate intensity form of exercise.To get the most calorie-burning benefits,then,it would seem that walking at a consistently light pace would make the most sense.Pay attention to your heart rate and how you feel.Wearable technologies can certainly provide an idea of progress toward your calorie-burning goals.Using fitness tracker equipment to help you recognize when you reach your target heart rate zones can help you maximize the calorie-burning.
Walking is often considered as a great fat-burning exercise,and for good reason.You can't really walk at higher intensities because of the nature of the exercise; therefore,you end up in low-intensity zones,where you tend to burn more fat.When you're walking at a lighter intensity with your heart rate in the 57% to 63% range,you are more likely to be using fat for fuel.No matter what your speed is,form matters.When done with good form,walking is an incredibly beneficial form of exercise for total health and wellness beyond mere caloric burn.Moreover,walking is the most accessible form of exercise because it doesn't require any special clothes,equipment or memberships.
Whether your goal is fat loss,increased fitness or simply enhancing your overall health and wellness,walking offers all these benefits and more.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何在走路时最好地燃烧卡路里。
√
8.What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To compare walking with other exercise.
C.To explain the wearable fitness technology.
D.To show the importance of 10,000 steps a day.
A [推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It's no secret that walking is good for you.Many of us are trying to get in those recommended 10,000 steps a day that our wearable fitness technology urges us to achieve.But how many calories are we actually burning,and how can we get the most out of those steps Find answers in these ways.”可推知,第一段的写作目的是引入如何正确散步这个话题。故选A。]
√
9.What does the underlined word “intensity” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Depth. B.Strength.
C.Height. D.Distance.
B [词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“To get the most calorie-burning benefits,then,it would seem that walking at a consistently light pace would make the most sense.”可知,持续的慢速行走燃烧最多的卡路里。由此可知,散步是一种中等强度的运动,即画线词intensity与strength“强度”意思接近。故选B。]
√
10.What can be inferred from the text
A.Walking at high intensities is recommended.
B.Your walking speed is the most important to calorie-burning.
C.Walking can burn calories better if you walk in a proper form.
D.It is more convenient to walk for those who have a gym membership.
C [推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“You can't really walk at higher intensities because of the nature of the exercise; therefore,you end up in low-intensity zones,where you tend to burn more fat.When you're walking at a lighter intensity with your heart rate in the 57% to 63% range,you are more likely to be using fat for fuel.No matter what your speed is,form matters.”可推知,如果你走路的形式合适,走路可以更好地燃烧卡路里。故选C。]

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association,the number of solar panels installed(安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade,and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals.But all of that growth will take up a lot of space,and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy,few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible,so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them.Often,they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds.The result is that many communities,especially in farming regions,see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick,the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project.“They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development,which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss,pesticide use,and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades,which has damaged the U.S.agricultural economy.Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens,businesses,schools,cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years,many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators,resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.“These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.

Everyone makes mistakes.Mistakes are an essential part of what makes us humans. 16 Not making mistakes is actually the biggest mistake you can ever make.So make them,learn from them and grow.Below are some ways to help you learn from mistakes.
Take 100% responsibility.After making a mistake,reflect on it.Blaming others for your mistakes will do you no good. 17 Therefore,take 100% responsibility,accept the consequences and be part of the solution to the problem.The sooner you accept responsibility,the sooner the problem is identified,and the sooner a resolution will be possible.
Figure out the cause of the mistake. 18 Figuring out the cause will also help you avoid repeating it next time.Determine the specific action that led to the mistake.Take time to look into the events,see if there are things that need to be improved,and take time to work on them.Make the necessary changes to see the positive results.
19 You cannot change the mistakes that were made in the past,but you can take the lesson learnt and apply it when necessary.Don't move forward through life being afraid of making mistakes.The moment you see mistakes as lessons rather than mistakes,you will no longer have this crazy scare of meeting them along your journey.
Apologize if necessary.Apologizing for a mistake that you made,which affected someone,can make a big difference.By apologizing,you are showing bravery. 20 0
A.Move on fearlessly.
B.You cannot be perfect all the time.
C.Mistakes make you understand you are not perfect.
D.Only accepting responsibility can make learning possible.
E.Knowing why you made the mistake is the key to learning from it.
F.They're an important step in learning,growing,and improving yourself.
G.That's because it takes courage to stand before someone and admit your mistake.

16.F [上文“Everyone makes mistakes.Mistakes are an essential part of what makes us humans.”说明犯错是人类的本质,每个人都会犯错。空处顺接前文,再一次说明犯错的重要性。F项中的They指代前文中的mistakes,说明“错误是学习、成长和提升自己的重要一步”。故选F。]
17.D [下文“Therefore,take 100% responsibility,accept the consequences and be part of the solution to the problem.”说明犯错之后要承担100%的责任,接受它带来的后果,然后去解决问题。空处和下文构成因果关系,指出为什么要承担100%的责任。所以D项符合语境。该项中的“Only accepting responsibility”和本段的主旨句相呼应。故选D。]
18.E [上文“Figure out the cause of the mistake.”说明需要找出错误的原因。本句承接上文。E项中的“Knowing why you made the mistake”和前文中“Figure out the cause of the mistake.”相呼应,说明找出错误原因的重要性。故选E。]
19.A [下文“You cannot change the mistakes that were made in the past,but you can take the lesson learnt and apply it when necessary.Don't move forward through life being afraid of making mistakes.”说明本段主要告诉我们不要因为害怕犯错误而停止向前,需要做的是从错误中吸取教训。A项适合作本段的主旨句,统领全段。故选A。]
20.G [上文“Apologize if necessary.Apologizing for a mistake that you made,which affected someone,can make a big difference.By apologizing,you are showing bravery.”说明为自己的错误道歉是勇敢的表现。空处和前文构成因果关系,解释为什么道歉是勇敢的表现。G项中的“admit your mistake”和前文中的“Apologizing for a mistake”相呼应。故选G。]

The most impressive workers that come to my mind are firefighters.Whenever there is a fire,they will put out it.
About two months ago,I heard the news that there was a big fire burning in the forest and about ten firefighters were dead during the rescue.They were very young,and some of them were at my age,which moved me deeply and made me realize that I shouldn't have taken the peaceful life for granted.
Since then,I have considered firefighters “the most beautiful workers” due to the contributions they make.
第二节
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。
Music is my first love.I can sit down at my electronic keyboard and forget all about time and space,and all about my problems.During the lowest moment in my life,music was my savior.Besides,I would like to thank two volunteer organizations—one is America's Veterans Services and the other is The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled.
I am a veteran(退伍军人).After I got out of the service,I began a career in music,and then became an ironworker for higher pay.A few years ago,the one-bedroom house I rented in Massachusetts was sold.The developer planned to tear it down.The property manager gave me two months rent-free to find a new place to live in.It didn't help because I'd been disabled from an accident at work and was living on benefits.Nothing affordable turned up.
With the help of two friends,I silently and hopelessly packed up my belongings and moved everything—including my electronic keyboard—into storage.I slept in my car,thinking it wouldn't last long.But weeks turned into months and then months turned into years.My car had become my home.
The one thing that kept me alive was music.I would lose myself in music.Although I had developed cataracts(白内障),nothing could keep my fingers from finding the right keys.
However,I hit my real low one New Year's Eve.I was driving down a narrow road to where I would park my car and sleep at night.I turned right and accidentally ran into a wall.My car—my only home—lost its right front end.
At that point,I really had no place to live in.Fortunately,Bruce Knight,a retired firefighter,heard about me.He drove me to a homeless shelter in York County where I stayed for 75 days.That was where I met with case managers from Volunteers of America's Veterans Services.They helped me move into their housing,a place called Huot House.I was able to sign up for Veterans Administration benefits and get the cataract treatment I needed to recover my eyesight.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Ken Darby,manager of Huot House,told me to move toward life.______________________________________________________

[参考范文]
Ken Darby,manager of Huot House,told me to move toward life.One of the first things I did when I got settled was get my electronic keyboard out of storage and set it up in the TV room at Huot House.I'd play for hours,totally lost in the music.After listening to the music I played,Ken told me about The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled,where a “Day of Caring” was held every year.
I went to volunteer for the “Day of Caring” held by The Paul Hazelton House.I played several songs for the seniors and the disabled there.Music,the universal medium that had helped me,was also a joy to others.People gathered around my electronic keyboard,clapping and singing.As I played the music,I thought back to what I had experienced.I realized how blessed I'd been that people had stepped up and helped me when I couldn't see how to help myself.They took me in,encouraged me to make music and put me back on the right path.
