●Ⅰ【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了John Vaillant的新书《火灾天气》,包括其主要情节、叙事特点、讽刺意味以及探究的主题。
1.B 推理判断题。第一段“July was the world’s hottest month on record. Wildfires this summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and caused evacuations (疏散) in Canada, Greece, and Thailand. Floods devastated towns in Vermont in July and killed thousands of Libyans in September.”讲述了具体的自然灾害事例。第二段中“John Vaillant’s new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline…”提到John Vaillant的新书《火灾天气》的主题,这一主题与第一段中的自然灾害事例密切相关。由此推知,提到这些例子的目的是让读者对同一个话题产生兴趣。故选B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第四段“What attracts me most is the book’s central irony. The story takes place in Fort McMurray, which is the industrial centre of northern Alberta’s tar sands, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel deposits. It is a city whose existence depends on the hydrocarbons whose burning caused climate change; but whose existence almost ended in a climate-caused burning.”和第五段“But Vaillant’s theme is also catching my eye.”可知,作者认为这本书的特别之处在于其背景设置在世界上最大的化石燃料矿床之一的Fort McMurray,极具讽刺意味,其探究的主题也引起作者的注意。故选C项。
3.A 词义猜测题。画线词的前文“Fire Weather isn’t a typical disaster book.”指出《火灾天气》并不是一本典型的讲述灾难的书籍,这是一个评价,再结合画线词所在句的主语Vaillant’s references to Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney, The Lord of the Rings, Xerxes, and Moby Dick可推知,这些引用可以佐证上一句中的评价,由此可知,此处指这些引用都可以证明这一点,画线词的意思与be presented“被呈现出来(证明)”相近。故选A项。
4.D 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其由第二段中“John Vaillant’s new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline…”可知,文章围绕John Vaillant的新书《火灾天气》展开,主要介绍了其主要情节、叙事特点、讽刺意味以及探究的主题。因此,文章应该出自一本书的序言。故选D项。
●Ⅱ【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了共同阅读的好处。
1.E 上文“Generally speaking, reading tends to be seen as a solitary (独自的) pastime.”讲阅读往往被视为一种独自的消遣,说明共同阅读不常见,下文“However, the benefits of sharing the experience are numerous and worth sticking with throughout the year.”讲共同阅读有众多好处,该空内容应与“共同阅读不常见”相关,与下文形成转折关系,表明共同阅读虽不常见,但有众多好处,E选项“因此,在别人的陪伴下读一本小说似乎不寻常。”切合语境。故选E。
2.A 设空处是段首句,为本段的主题句。下文“For example, you don’t have to brainstorm to organize a conversation, because you both have a book in your hands. You can get lost in your book without worrying about seeming rude by not keeping up a constant stream of chatter. As you both enter the same state, your blood pressure will go down, muscle tension will ease, and your worries will fade away. All these put you at ease.”列举了共同阅读的多种好处,A选项“和别人一起阅读在很多方面都令人感到欣慰。”引出下文,A项中的is comforting in many ways能够概括本段中提到的多种好处。故选A。
3.D 由下文“A quiet corner of the playground, a blanket spread out on the grass in the garden, or any calm space where you feel relaxed will do.”可知,共同阅读并不限制场地,D选项“此外,你不必找一个特定的地方来进入这种状态。”能引出下文的例子。故选D项。
4.G 由上文“Spending time together reading can strengthen friendships.”可知,共同阅读可以加强友谊,再结合上文“Sometimes, you’ll come across more serious themes, such as losing a loved one or a cherished pet, or facing any one of life’s many challenges.”讲共同阅读时会碰到更严肃的主题可知,该空应该讲讨论这些主题会对加强友谊起到积极作用,G选项“讨论这些主题有助于加深你和朋友之间的联系。”切合语境。故选G。
5.B 上文“As you know, novels allow us to live countless experiences through their characters, which will result in heightened sensitivity.”提到了阅读小说将提高我们的敏感性,下文“For example, a person’s empathetic response increases as he emerges from being immersed in a story.”讲了高敏感性产生的影响:人的共情回应会增加,B选项“这种敏感性会立即产生影响。”切合语境。故选B。
●Ⅲ【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了中国古代医学家李时珍撰写《本草纲目》的经历和该书的广泛影响。
1.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处为“介词+关系词”引导的定语从句,先行词是the complete works,指物,关系词在从句中作介词from的宾语。故填which。
2.inconsistency 考查名词。由空前was可知,空处应填名词,作表语,inconsistent的名词形式是inconsistency,为不可数名词。故填inconsistency。
3.that 考查代词。根据句意可知,空处指代前文提到的the importance,应用that代指。故填that。
4.successfully 考查副词。空处修饰空后的动词,应该用副词修饰。故填successfully。
5.the 考查冠词。空后的work特指上文提到的Bencao Gangmu,所以空处应用定冠词。故填the。
6.has received 考查动词时态和主谓一致。空处作本句的谓语,根据标志词since可知,此处用现在完成时,主语是the book,为第三人称单数。故填has received。
7.as 考查介词。此处是固定搭配acknowledge…as…,意为“承认……是……”。故填as。
8.was listed 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。空处作本句的谓语,list和主语the book之间是被动关系,用被动语态,根据时间状语in 2011可知,用一般过去时,主语为第三人称单数。故填was listed。
9.to celebrate 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词was held,所以celebrate用非谓语形式,根据句意可知,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to celebrate。
10.growing 考查形容词。空处修饰空后的名词number,应用形容词作定语。故填growing。
●Ⅳ【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者为了让父亲开心,和朋友一起把父亲的旧船修好,让父亲可以和Ralph在湖上划船,父亲对此非常感动。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“妈妈同意后,我说服我的朋友们加入我的秘密计划。”可知,第一段可描写作者和朋友修理船的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“在父亲生日那天,我们都渴望给他一个惊喜。”可知,第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜的反应。
2.续写线索:开始修理船—完成修复工作—给父亲惊喜—父亲感动—作者感悟
One possible version:
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat as he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let out the secret until Papa’s birthday.
On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes at the sight of the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat.

July was the world’s hottest month on record. Wildfires this summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and caused evacuations (疏散) in Canada, Greece, and Thailand. Floods devastated towns in Vermont in July and killed thousands of Libyans in September.
John Vaillant’s new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline: the city of Fort McMurray, in northern Canada’s vast forest, where an uncontrollable wildfire during an exceptionally warm spring in 2016 flooded the entire communities within days.
Vaillant tells his story at disaster-movie pace, starting with the glimpse of smoke on the horizon and assurances from the authorities that all would be fine. Mounting misfortune followed as the flames licked golf courses on the city’s edge. By the end, 9,000 people had been evacuated, 2,500 structures destroyed, and another 500 damaged. The energy generated by the fire created its own weather system, with hurricane force winds and lightning strikes.
What attracts me most is the book’s central irony. The story takes place in Fort McMurray, which is the industrial centre of northern Alberta’s tar sands, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel deposits. It is a city whose existence depends on the hydrocarbons whose burning caused climate change; but whose existence almost ended in a climate-caused burning.
Fire Weather isn’t a typical disaster book. Vaillant’s references to Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney,The Lord of the Rings, Xerxes, and Moby Dick can grant. But Vaillant’s theme is also catching my eye. Our industrial world is releasing carbon at a rate 10 times faster than scientists can find in the geological record for the past 250mn years, he writes. “Thanks to fire and our appetite for boundless energy, we have evolved into a geologic event that will be measurable a million years from now.”
( )1.What’s the purpose of mentioning the examples in Paragraph 1
A.To show the varieties of natural disasters.
B.To engage the readers in the same topic.
C.To indicate the difficulties of these areas.
D.To provide the background of the book.
( )2.What’s special about the book according to this passage
A.Plot and viewpoint.
B.Character and conflict.
C.Setting and theme.
D.Tone and style.
( )3.What does the underlined word “grant” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Be presented. B.Be refused.
C.Be preserved. D.Be recorded.
( )4.Where is the text most probably taken from
A.An essay on the climate change.
B.A guidebook to Fort McMurray.
C.A review of world disasters.
D.An introduction to a book.

A birthday surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day ” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy—a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here ” I asked.
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what ” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly ” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧着嘴笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan.

文体：说明文 主题：人与自然 词数：304
July was the world's hottest month on record. Wildfires this
summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and caused evacuations (疏散)
in Canada, Greece, and Thailand. Floods devastated towns in
Vermont in July and killed thousands of Libyans in September.

John Vaillant's new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out
of this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline: the
city of Fort McMurray, in northern Canada's vast forest, where
an uncontrollable wildfire during an exceptionally warm spring
in 2016 flooded the entire communities within days.
Vaillant tells his story at disaster-movie pace, starting with
the glimpse of smoke on the horizon and assurances from the
authorities that all would be fine. Mounting misfortune followed
as the flames licked golf courses on the city's edge.

By the end, 9,000 people had been evacuated, 2,500 structures
destroyed, and another 500 damaged. The energy generated by
the fire created its own weather system, with hurricane force
winds and lightning strikes.
What attracts me most is the book's central irony. The story
takes place in Fort McMurray, which is the industrial centre of
northern Alberta's tar sands, one of the world's largest fossil
fuel deposits. It is a city whose existence depends on the
hydrocarbons whose burning caused climate change; but whose
existence almost ended in a climate-caused burning.

Fire Weather isn't a typical disaster book. Vaillant's
references to Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney,The Lord
of the Rings, Xerxes, and Moby Dick can grant. But Vaillant's
theme is also catching my eye. Our industrial world is releasing
carbon at a rate 10 times faster than scientists can find in the
geological record for the past 250mn years, he writes. “Thanks
to fire and our appetite for boundless energy, we have evolved
into a geologic event that will be measurable a million years
from now.”

[解析] 推理判断题。第一段“July was the world's hottest month
on record. Wildfires this summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and
caused evacuations (疏散) in Canada, Greece, and Thailand.
Floods devastated towns in Vermont in July and killed thousands
of Libyans in September.”讲述了具体的自然灾害事例。第二段中
“John Vaillant's new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of
this with a tale of terror from a climate change frontline…”提到
John Vaillant的新书《火灾天气》的主题，这一主题与第一段中的自
然灾害事例密切相关。由此推知，提到这些例子的目的是让读者对

which is the industrial centre of northern Alberta's tar sands,
one of the world's largest fossil fuel deposits. It is a city whose
existence depends on the hydrocarbons whose burning caused
climate change; but whose existence almost ended in a climate-
caused burning.”和第五段“But Vaillant's theme is also catching
my eye.”可知，作者认为这本书的特别之处在于其背景设置在世界
上最大的化石燃料矿床之一的Fort McMurray，极具讽刺意味，其探

[解析] 词义猜测题。画线词的前文“Fire Weather isn't a typical
disaster book.”指出《火灾天气》并不是一本典型的讲述灾难的书籍，
这是一个评价，再结合画线词所在句的主语Vaillant's references to
Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney, The Lord of the Rings,
Xerxes, and Moby Dick可推知，这些引用可以佐证上一句中的评价，
由此可知，此处指这些引用都可以证明这一点，画线词的意思与be

( )4.Where is the text most probably taken from
A.An essay on the climate change.
B.A guidebook to Fort McMurray.

[解析] 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其由第二段中“John Vaillant's
new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale
of terror from a climate change frontline…”可知，文章围绕John
Vaillant的新书《火灾天气》展开，主要介绍了其主要情节、叙事特

absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they
dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening
sun. “He does this day after day ” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don't know what to
do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can't
satisfy—a desire for the past. The past can't be brought back to
the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama
sighed.
“I'm going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee.
“What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you
spend out here ” I asked.
“We're not thinking,” he said softly. “We're wishing.” I sat
on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what ” “For the
impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that
nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were
willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the
sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you
reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I
can help you. What do you want so badly ” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧着嘴笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the
thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to
fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to
spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating
sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often
enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They'd start for
home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves
and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and
had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of
him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I
managed to convince her.

【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了让父亲开心，
和朋友一起把父亲的旧船修好，让父亲可以和Ralph在湖上划船，父
亲对此非常感动。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“妈妈同意后，我说服我的朋友们加入我的秘密
计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友修理船的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“在父亲生日那天，我们都渴望给他一个惊喜。”
可知，第二段可描写父亲看到惊喜的反应。
2.续写线索：开始修理船—完成修复工作—给父亲惊喜—父亲感动—
作者感悟
One possible version:
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my
secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn't
fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent
several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced
the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired
the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat as he
and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we
were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn't let out the
secret until Papa's birthday.
On the day of Papa's birthday, we were all eager to give
him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes at the sight of
the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus,
and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that,
we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also
bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and
watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and
laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for
him was rewarding.
