A
如何庆祝新年呢，作者的答案是和朋友一起度过。
21. C 代词指代题。由画线前一句“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.”“家不再是一幅有前门和一些窗户的房子的图画”。由此可知，下文的意思是家比这更复杂。“It”指代上文提到的“家”，故选C。
22. C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.”(在乡村的中心，远离我们不断变化的大生活，我们又能像一个小家庭了)和第四段最后一句“It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same—I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.”(这是不同的，但有一件事是非常相同的——我感觉像回到了家，我们感觉像一个家庭)由此推断出，作者试图通过他在爱尔兰和巴塞罗那的经历表达和朋友待在一起让人有回家的感觉，故选C。
23. A 标题归纳题。第三段第一句“New Year's Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home.”(除夕已经成为我和朋友们重新联系的时间，这让我感到宾至如归)是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲述对于怎样庆祝新年这个问题，作者的答案是和朋友一起度过，故A项作为标题合适。
B
这是一篇记叙文。作者以自己的经历告诉读者：女性也应该学习理科，不要拘泥于传统的性别观念。
C 词义理解题。由第二段中的“In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages”可知，作者是“a gender stereotype”的受害者，that从句解释了“a gender stereotype”。a gender stereotype指的是男性学习理科和数学，女性学习艺术和语言。结合选项，很明显，a gender stereotype指的是人们传统的性别观念。故C选项正确。
A 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.”可知，当作者参加工作面试的时候，面试官经常问她：“你会说外语这很棒，但是你还会做什么呢？”但是对于作者那些学理科的朋友，面试官从来没有问过他们这样的问题。很明显，学习艺术、语言影响了作者找工作。由此可以推知，学理科在找工作时比较有优势。故A选项正确。
26. D 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy”可知，作者认识到自己在大学里选择语言学习是错误的，由此可以推知她很后悔自己的选择。故D选项正确。
27. C 标题归纳题。作者在文中以自己的经历告诉读者：女性不应该只学习艺术或语言。女性也应该学习理科。最后一段作者以自己的女儿为例，进一步强调女性要学习理科，这样才会有更好的未来。故C选项是最佳标题。
C
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了蓝色星球II的最新一集关注的是塑料如何对海洋产生灾难性影响，如何慢慢毒害我们的海洋生物。研究人员最近还发现，生活在地球上最深处——马里亚纳海沟的海洋生物胃里有塑料。的确，海洋被塑料淹没了。
D 细节理解题。根据第二段Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly fun_ction without plastics， consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science（虽然现在看来，没有塑料世界是不可能运转的，但消费塑料却是最近才发明的。第一个塑料袋是在20世纪50年代问世的，就在塑料包装在美国开始流行的那个十年里，塑料包装的这种增长发生得如此之快，以至于科学仍在跟上变化。例如，塑料污染研究仍然是一门非常早期的科学。）可知塑料已经普及得太快了，科学跟不上，故选D。
29. A 推理判断题。根据第三段介绍：我们把所有这些塑料投入到环境中，但我们仍然不知道会产生什么结果。然而，我们所知道的是令人不安的。据估计，海洋塑料每年会杀死数百万的海洋动物。据了解，包括濒临绝种的海龟在内，有三分之一的棱皮龟经常误以为塑料袋是水母。目前，90%的海鸟经常吃塑料制品。2050年，这一数字有望上升到100%。可知作者是通过统计数据的方法来支持自己的观点，故选A。
30. B 推理判断题。根据第四段I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers（否认者）, at least so far. To do something about it， we don't have to remake our planet energy system（人类正在通过我们食用的海鲜来食用塑料。我可以理解为什么有些人把海洋塑料视为灾难，这和气候变化一样值得提及。海洋塑料不像气候变化那么复杂。没有海洋垃圾否认者，至少到目前为止是这样。）可知有些人对气候变化持怀疑否认态度，故选B。
31. B 主旨大意题。文章介绍塑料如何对海洋产生灾难性影响，如何慢慢毒害我们的海洋生物。研究人员最近还发现，生活在地球上最深处——马里亚纳海沟的海洋生物胃里有塑料。的确，海洋被塑料淹没了，后面文章介绍塑料垃圾对环境的影响，可知文章大意讲塑料垃圾充斥着海洋，故选B。
D
本文是议论文。作者认为不应该在小女孩面前夸她漂亮，这样她可能会过度关注自己的外表。
A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“always wears a smile ”和“sweet smile”可知，姐妹俩都爱笑。
C 推理判断题。根据第二、三段，尤其是第三段中的“what we're also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks，even in a positive way, the more I'm conveying the importance of those things”可知，作者认为在女儿们面前总说她们漂亮，她们会关注自己的外表，无形当中会带给她们压力。
D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Instead of saying ... developing their own sense of self and style.”可知，作者不会笼统地夸孩子漂亮，而是会用更具体的语言夸赞她们，比如“衣服搭配得不错”等，作者更多关注的是孩子独特的风格。
B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what I or anyone else will say about how they look”可知，作者的女儿们都非常自信。
七选五
内容概要：本文介绍了减少或避免假期不愉快的方法和策略。
36. D 根据前一句“The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid.”可知，我们不应该试着回避悲伤和其他的消极情绪。D项与前文形成转折，强调消极情绪的积极作用，符合语境。
37. E 根据前一句“The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse.”可知，结果显示，当司机假装有一个好心情时，实则心情更糟糕，假装有好心情似乎得到了相反的结果，此处与前文形成因果关系，故选E项。
38. G 根据后一句“We don't like contradictory behavior.”可知，我们不喜欢自相矛盾的行为，当我们的表现和内心真实感受相矛盾的时候，我们的心情会变糟糕，故选G项。
39. F 本段小标题为“Respond cautiously”，F项讲述的是谨慎回复对我们的好处，符合语境，故选F项。
40. B 根据后文“In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences.”可知，本段主要阐述不必害怕消极情绪，关键要将其与乐观情绪平衡好，故选B项。

短文改错
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章以Abraham Lincoln为例，说明我们的未来是掌握在自己手中的。
1. 考查副词。修饰介词短语on you，用副词mostly，意为：大多数地，大部分地。故most改为mostly。

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A (供题人:)
For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about “New Year's resolutions ( 决 心 )”—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
New Year's Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends that make me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no Internet and no neighbors. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.
This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same—I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year's Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the “New Year's kiss” and “resolutions” create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can't New Year be about friends?
What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
Family. B. Living abroad. C. Home. D. Staying with friends.
What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
Living abroad is a happy experience.
Staying with friends makes one feel at home.
Traveling abroad enriches one's life experience.
Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
New Year's Celebration: How? B. True Friendship: What?
C. Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated? D. Change: Plan It or Make It?
B ()
At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and
maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.
A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.
What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
Personal learning style. B. Sex characteristic.
C. Conventional sex concept. D. Profession difference.
According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?
Increasing job possibility. B. Winning popularity.
C. Improving language competence. D. Enriching imagination.
How did the author feel for her major choice?
Satisfied. B. Active. C. Discouraged. D. Regretful.
What may be the best title for the text?
Art or Science, Either is OK. B. Good Subjects, Good Future.
C. Girls, Choose More Wisely. D. Catch Chances, Change the World.
C
Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly fun_ction without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag—when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
The world couldn’t possibly fun_ction without plastics.
Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
By statistics. B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By using examples from his own experience. D. By comparison and contrast.
What can we infer about climate change?
Climate change is caused by human activities.
Some people hold some doubts about climate change.
Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.
Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.
What is the main idea of this passage?
Ocean plastic is a global issue.
The oceans become choked with plastic.
Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.
Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
D
My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4－year－old has big blue eyes and always wears a smile. The 7－year－old’s long strawberry blond (金黄色的) hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys' heads. I love everything about these girls, and they know it.
But I try not to tell them they're beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent when it comes to the pressures of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery (整容手术), diets, “feeling fat” models, or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this distorted (扭曲的) reality we tend to start telling our girls, as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are.
I know this is wonderfully well- intentioned, and that we want to raise our girls' confidence from the very start. Here's the thing, though. We might think we're building our daughters up by telling them that they are beautiful to us no matter what, but what we're also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way, the more I'm conveying the importance of those things.
However, it doesn't mean I don't praise my girls. Instead of saying “You look beautiful！”I might say the more specific “Don't you look fancy today!”. or “Those colors go so well together.” It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in charge of how they look.
Naturally, I buy most of my girls' clothes. But I don't usually manage their outfit ( 整套衣服) choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course we've seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what I or anyone else will say about how they look. And that's the spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.
What do the author's two daughters have in common?
Both like to smile. B. Both have blond hair.
C. Both like strawberries. D. Both have big blue eyes.
Why is the author unwilling to tell her girls that they are beautiful?
She expects them to face reality. B. She wants them to find it themselves.
C. She doesn't want them to focus on looks. D. She doesn't think they can understand it.
How does the author treat her daughters?
She avoids praising them. B. She treats them as her little dolls.
C. She is particular about their clothes. D. She pays attention to their unique styles.
What can be learned about the author's daughters?
They are highly dependent.
They are really confident.
They tend to take advice from their mother.
They have a good taste in dressing themselves.

Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. 36 Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.
Don't force cheer.
At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response --- no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. 37
Let off sadness.
The results of the bus drivers' study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. 38 We don't like contradictory behavior.
Respond cautiously.
Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger (e.g. overcooking the holiday turkey), you pause rather than reacting at once. 39 Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.
40
Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don't forget to give yourself a break.
Relax your mind.
Enjoy a mix of emotions.
We tend to deny the important fun_ction emotions serve.
Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life.
So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects.
F．A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. G．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside.

“Your future depends on many things, but most on you.” Yes, I can't agree more to this view. It's true that our future determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but their own attitudes, determination, and hard work play a more important role. In other words, we are the masters of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln for an example. He was born into a poor family, which only received a limited education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he then changes not only his own fate but also the history of America. Even to this day, Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspired figures in the world.
However, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hand.
