Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a worthwhile activity.
Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables picked at their best are better than those bought from markets.From spring through late fall，a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables，thus increasing the nutrition (营养) of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date.Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.
Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening attractive for many people.Besides，vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for families.
Although the money spent on a garden may be little，one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time.Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times，most of which are inconvenient.Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative (消极的) feeling towards gardening.
One should not manage a garden that is too large for him to care for.A small，well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable (有益的) than a large one.Vegetables grow well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day.Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables.If possible，the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work it at irregular moments.
Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type.Fortunately，many vegetables can be grown in poor soils if they are properly prepared.

I am a volunteer at Seattle Children’s Hospital，the most friendly and comfortable place around for those who are recovering，sick，or dying between the ages of 0 to 18.My first day one-on-one with a patient arrived after hours of training and preparation.I shook slightly as the doctor handed me a small white piece of paper with patient information，telling me only about the name，age，and room number.The elevator ride to the floor seemed totally too fast.I walked through the long halls until I reached a door with the room number that matched (匹配) the one on my paper.I read the sign on the door：SCCA—Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
I entered my patient’s room，and was greeted by a tired mother in great need of a break.And this sweet，excited little 6-year-old girl，who’s smiling and showing willingness to play made me completely ignore her bald (秃) little head.My newfound friend was quite possibly the most normal 6-year-old girl I had ever met.
Time flew by，and it was easy to notice that we greatly enjoyed each other’s being around.But，towards the end of my stay，she asked me if she could play with my hair.As I readily agreed，it hit me that she was not a common little girl.She was bald because of cancer，so she wondered what it was like to play with my hair.As she repeatedly tried to perfect the braids (辫子) in my hair，I realized that the warmth pouring from her heart could not be ignored.I felt proud that I could play a part in the lives of those lovable little children.
During the months that I spent in working one-on-one with the patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital，I never met one who was unhappy to see me.They liked to play with me，sometimes putting the room in a mess.In fact，it has come to be that these children，the “little disasters”，brighten my day more than anyone else ever could.
语篇解读 作者的志愿工作让她领悟到了志愿工作的重要性，即：志愿者在带给他人快乐的同时也被他人感染和激励。
5．How did the writer most probably feel before entering the patient’s room?
A．Bored. B．Nervous.
C．Cheerful. D．Confident.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I shook slightly as the doctor handed me a little white piece of paper with patient information...”及综合第一段的内容可知，作者在进入病房以前很紧张。
答案： B
6．Why did the little girl want to play with the writer’s hair?
A．She was very bored in the hospital.
B．She was very good at making braids.
C．She wanted the writer to remember her.
D．She was curious about hair because she was bald.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She was bald because of cancer，so she wondered what it was like to play with my hair.”可知，因为小女孩自己没有头发，所以她很好奇玩头发是什么感觉。
答案： D
7．The writer called these children little disasters because __________.
A．they were very naughty
B．they made her feel unhappy
C．they would die of cancer one day
D．they couldn’t get along well with each other
解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They liked to play with me，sometimes putting the room in a mess.”可知，因为这些小孩在和作者玩耍时会把房间弄乱，所以他们应该很淘气。
答案： A
C
I left a job in higher education in 1987 to begin work full time as a futurist.Actually，there are three ways to this career.
First is the informal or self-taught path (途径) taken by many people.People in different fields often discover their personal interest in the future.And then they begin to read things about futures studies，forecasting，science and technology，and so on.They begin to attend meetings as they can find them.Gradually they begin to call themselves futurists.Of the 40,000 members of the World Future Society (WFS)，most have taken that_path.But only about 1,200 are “professional (职业的) members” who try to make a living as futurists.If this path sounds right for you，it can be successfully followed.The best place to start is with a membership in the WFS.
A second path is through the more traditional colleges.There are college programs in futures studies.Among those we suggest is the master’s degree program in futures studies at the University of Houston，Clear Lake，Texas.Another program in futures studies is the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies，at the University of Hawaii.
Finally，a third path is the one that I took，or rather was given.That is the mentor (导师) path.An early futurist and founding member of the WFS took me under his wing while I was an undergraduate student.He began to feed me things to read and to attend，nurturing (培养) my own interest in the future through what became more than a ten-year-long relationship.His name was Ed Lindaman，at one time director of program planning for building Apollo，later a college president when I knew him.If you are lucky enough to find that kind of relationship，it can have some of the features of the first two paths，though without the formal degree.
语篇解读 本文是说明文。作者结合自身经历向读者介绍了成为一名未来学家的三种途径。
8．What do we know about the author?
A．He founded the WFS.
B．He got his first job as a futurist.
C．He makes a living as a futurist now.
D．Being a futurist was his childhood dream.
解析： 细节理解题。由第一段中的I left a job in higher education in 1987 to begin work full time as a futurist可知，作者如今是一位职业未来学家。
答案： C
9．What does the underlined part “that path” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Self-study.
B．Full-time education.
C．Being a WFS member.
D．Being guided by professionals.
解析： 篇章结构题。由第二段中的“First is the informal or self-taught path taken by many people”可知，世界未来学会中的大多数人都是通过自学的方式开始他们对未来学研究的。
答案： A
10．What kind of feeling did the author have when he mentioned Ed Lindaman?
A．Regret. B．Worry.
C．Excitement. D．Thankfulness.
解析： 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“took me under his wing...nurturing my own interest in the future...more than a ten-year-long relationship...If you are lucky enough to find that kind of relationship”可知，Ed Lindaman是使作者走上职业未来学家这条道路的启蒙者和领路人，他们的友谊长达数十年，作者十分感激他的帮助和指引。
答案： D
11．What advice does the author mainly give to readers?
A．How to join the WFS.
B．How to become a futurist.
C．How to choose your career.
D．How to take a degree in the future.
解析： 主旨大意题。本文的主旨句是第一段中的“Actually，there are three ways to this career，”其中的career指代a futurist。再由下文提及成为未来学家的三种途径“the informal or self-taught path，through the more traditional colleges”和“the mentor path”可知，作者旨在通过本文告诉读者如何成为一名未来学家。
答案： B
Ⅱ.七选五
Tips for choosing a career
Choosing a career isn’t always easy.Here are our tips to help you make up your mind.
Don’t let other people tell you what to do！There are always people who want you to become a lawyer，or be a teacher.Listen to them，but remember it’s your life and it’s your decision.__1__！
Consider what you think you’re good at.It’s true that things like salary (工资) are important，but don’t let financial considerations lead you down the wrong path.__2__—if you’re not very outgoing，don’t go for a sales job，even if the pay is good.
Your first decision isn’t forever.__3__—they choose a job，find they love it and stick at it.But it isn’t always like that，so remember— you’re allowed to change your mind! Certainly，it’s no good worrying for years: maybe you’ve got three or four possible things you’d like to do，so come to a decision and try one，and if you don’t like it，try another one.
__4__.Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll earn huge amounts of money.OK，if that’s what you want.But generally，people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others.__5__.It could be a job that helps other people，like being a child-minder.Just don’t forget that job satisfaction isn’t only about money.
A．Do something of value
B．Consider your past experiences
C．It doesn’t have to be charity work
D．Follow your heart and your personality
E．Some lucky people get it right first time
F．Be sure that you’re the one who makes that decision
G．The more you learn，the more you’ll realize just how much you don’t know
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章介绍了选择职业时的几点注意事项。
1．解析： F项中的you’re the one who makes that decision与本段小标题Don’t let other people tell you what to do以及该空前的it’s your decision相呼应。
答案： F
2．解析： 该空后的if you’re not very outgoing，don’t go for a sales job是对D项Follow your heart and your personality的举例解释，且与本段小标题Consider what yon think you’re good at相呼应。
答案： D
3．解析： E项Some lucky people get it right first time与本段小标题Your first decision isn’t forever形成对比，且该空后的they choose a job，find they love it and stick at it是对E项的进一步解释。
答案： E
4．解析： A项Do something of value与本段提及的people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others和It could be a job that helps other people相呼应。作者本段建议读者择业时可以选择一些有意义的工作。
答案： A
5．解析： C项中的charity work与该空前的something valuable for others相呼应，且与该空后的a job that helps other people，like being a child-minder形成对比。作者认为做有意义的工作并不一定非要去做慈善事业，只要是能帮助别人就好。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Today’s beef comes from animals raised on farms.So does chicken and pork.But some scientists are looking to change that.They’d like to grow just the parts that we want to eat.Create hamburgers，for example，without any cows.
Opinions differ on how best to do this.Some would start with animal cells (细胞)．Others would reach for parts of plants instead.But whatever their source is，the goals are the same: tasty meat for more people，less stress on the environment.
The idea of growing just the beef，not the whole cow，has been around since at least the 1890s.And it got a bit more real in 2013.That was when Mark Post introduced his lab-grown hamburger at a televised tasting (品尝会)．But the cost of that first burger was high—more than $300,000.No one expected to buy a burger that cost more than a car，let alone a small plane.
Other scientists want to make “meat” from plants.These dreamers are not looking to create a better “vegetable burger”．Indeed，one of these scientists，Patrick O．Brown，doesn’t like that term at all.Vegetable burgers are made from plants and have the shape of a burger.The taste is often quite different from true meat.Brown’s company，Impossible Foods in Redwood City，Calif，instead wants to make plant burgers so delicious that even those meat eaters will enjoy them and want to take another bite.
When it comes to making meat，“Animals happened to be the technology that was available 10,000 years ago，” Brown says.“We stuck with that technology.But it is unbelievably inefficient (效率低的) by any measure.” Brown believes that science can come up with something better.His team is going towards the plant path.But if the scientists can make their animal-cell-based dream affordable，he adds，“I’ll be their biggest fan.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。一些研究人员想利用植物生产肉或者在实验室里种植出肉来，以减少肉类动物的养殖。
1．What do the scientists want to do?
A．Raise animals in a better way.
B．Create meat without raising animals.
C．Change the taste of chicken and pork.
D．Make much healthier burgers for people.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段的“They’d like to grow just the parts that we want to eat.Create hamburgers，for example，without any cows.”可知，科学家们想通过不用养殖动物的方式来获得肉。
答案： B
2．What can we know about Mark Post’s lab-grown hamburger?
A．It was first created in the 1890s.
B．It was made based on animal cells.
C．Its price was too high for customers.
D．Its taste was not as good as original hamburgers.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段的“But the cost of that first burger was high—more than $300,000. No one expected to buy a burger that cost more than a car，let alone a small plane.”可知，Mark Post在实验室种植出的汉堡包价格太高。
答案： C
3．What’s Patrick O．Brown’s attitude towards the traditional way of making meat?
A．Uninterested. B．Negative.
C．Hopeful. D．Supportive.
解析： 观点态度题。根据末段的“‘We stuck with that technology.But it is unbelievably inefficient by any measure.’Brown believes that science can come up with something better.”可知，Brown认为传统的用动物来获得肉的方式效率太低，他相信能找到更好的方法。故他对这种方式持消极态度。
答案： B
B
As hard as you and your loved ones try to pick out the perfect present，you may need to return something.The sweater will be the wrong size，or the new coffee maker won’t match your kitchen.
Almost everyone is in the same boat，though，with almost two-thirds of shoppers making a return over the holiday season，according to data from the National Retail Foundation.With numbers like that，a “quick” return or exchange can turn into a big headache for you.Luckily，if you plan correctly，you can be in and out at once.
To avoid long lines，beat the crowds by arriving right at opening time，typically two hours before noon，says personal stylist Vanessa Valiente，creator of V-Style.“Most mornings at a store have shorter lines，but the mornings with the shortest lines are on Sundays，” she says.“This is true all through the year and continues to be true during the holidays.”
If you can’t get out on a Sunday，weekday mornings，especially Mondays and Tuesdays，usually have shorter lines too，says Sarah Hollenbeck，a shopping and savings expert.Hitting the shops on a weekday afternoon is also better than heading out after work or on a busy weekend，she says，but notes that the week after Christmas tends to be full of people no matter what.Stores offer New Year’s and after-Christmas sales，and shoppers gather for the things that weren’t checked off their Christmas lists.So many people avert that week.
But for the best-of-the-best and the worst-of-the-worst，there are two days to notice.December 26 tends to be extra busy with people rushing out to make their Christmas returns immediately，says Valiente.On the other side，shoppers are more likely to stay at home on New Year’s Day.“If you take it easy on New Year’s Eve，you can be the only one in the stores doing returns on the first day of the year，” she says.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。圣诞节后，很多人会想去商场退掉一些收到的圣诞节礼物，可是不是每天都适合去做这件事。
4．What does the author mean by saying “Almost everyone is in the same boat”？
A．People find it hard to do Christmas shopping.
B．People really like the things bought as gifts.
C．It’s common for people to receive wrong gifts.
D．It’s common for people to return Christmas gifts.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Almost everyone is in the same boat，though，with almost two-thirds of shoppers making a return over the holiday season...”可知，作者的意思是：圣诞节后很多人想去商场退掉一些他们收到的礼物。
答案： D
5．What does the underlined word “avert” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Avoid. B．Fear.
C．Celebrate. D．Suggest.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Stores offer New Year’s and after-Christmas sales，and shoppers gather for the things that weren’t checked off their Christmas lists.”可知，这一周商场一般都会很拥挤，故可知很多人会选择“避开”这一周去商场。
答案： A
6．Which of the following statements would Valiente agree with?
A．Afternoon is the best time to go shopping.
B．People should rest at home on New Year’s Day.
C．New Year’s Day is the best time to return Christmas gifts.
D．We’d better return our Christmas gifts on December 26.
解析： 推理判断题。根据末段的“‘If you take it easy on New Year’s Eve，you can be the only one in the stores doing returns on the first day of the year.’she says.”可知，他认为新年第一天去退掉那些商品最好。
答案： C
7．What is the text mainly about?
A．The best time to visit a store.
B．The best time to return Christmas gifts.
C．Some good ways to deal with Christmas gifts.
D．Some good ways to return Christmas presents.
解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要是讲圣诞节过后哪一天去商场退掉那些不需要的礼物最好。
答案： B

The National Pass walking track is in the Blue Mountains National Park，one of the most well-known national parks in Australia.It is near Wentworth Falls，which is around 100 kilometres from Sydney (the largest city in Australia)．It is a circular walking track of 4.4 km.It includes a 709 m climb and takes around 3.5 hours to complete.Though the transport is not perfect，the National Pass can be readily reached by car or train.
The Grand Stairway is an unforgettable part of the National Pass.This is a zigzag stairway (which looks like a line of Z’s joined together) with 173 steps.It has been described as the tallest outdoor stairway in Australia.The Grand Stairway provides a way to the valley below Wentworth Falls.It was built around 1906 by workers who used all kinds of different tools.
Along a great part of this track is the amazing waterfalls which hikers (远足者) pass by，through，and over.These include the Empress Falls.This is a wonderful waterfall in the Valley of the Waters.It goes down a series of rocks to a pool.There are stepping stones for hikers to cross the falls and some shady spots where tired travelers can rest.
In 2002 the National Parks and Wildlife Service started repair work on the National Pass.This work took several years and the project was awarded recognition from UNESCO (United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization) and the National Trust of Australia.
It is worthwhile to choose a guided tour package for the National Pass.The walk costs around $135 per person and requires good health and physical condition.It takes the hiker through valleys，thick forests and ends with a lovely picnic lunch.

According to medical experts，people do not need food as much as they need water.If you are in good physical shape，you are likely to survive longer.In fact，the body stores fat and other forms of energy.The fatter you are，the more fat your body can store.__1__
The survival time without food also depends on how fast a person burns food.Those who use up food energy faster will probably not survive as long as those who burn food energy more slowly.Climate also plays an important role in it.__2__ However，hot climate allows you to go on longer without replacing food.
__3__ It may lead to physical weakness or confusion.After many weeks without food，your body organs can fail one after another.Even so，people can still survive without food for up to two months as long as they have enough to drink.
However，living without water can be a very different story.Every minute，we lose water through breathing and other activities.The water that our bodies lose must be replaced so that our organs can work properly.__4__ Otherwise，we may suffer a heat stroke (中暑)．
Dehydration (严重脱水) can lead to many illnesses.In the beginning，you may just suffer a dry mouth or a fast heartbeat.__5__ Therefore，you should never go on without water for a day or more.
A．Water helps us cool down in the heat.
B．However，we can’t live long without water.
C．That is why fatter people can survive longer.
D．Cold weather makes you use up more energy.
E．Eating too much is not necessary in our daily life.
F．But a few weeks later，you may be in a state of shock.
G．Eating too little causes your body to react in some special ways.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要指出了相比于食物，人们存活更需要水。人们体内可以存储一些脂肪和能量备用，而呼吸和其它身体活动却随时随地在消耗人们体内的水分。
1．解析： 此空设于段尾，与上文存在逻辑上的指代关系。本句中的That指代的是前一句中提到的The fatter you are，the more fat your body can store.
答案： C
2．解析： 此空设于段中，是对前一句的进一步解释。此句和后一句都是对前一句的进一步解释。前一句指出，气候在人们存活的过程中扮演着很重要的角色，此句和后一句分别提出冷天气和炎热的气候是如何具体影响的。
答案： D
3．解析： 此空设于段首，是本段的主题句。此句提出，吃的太少会使身体作出一些特殊的反应。接着后文再具体描述这些反应。
答案： G
4．解析： 此空设于段中，与后文存在转折关系。本段主要是讲缺水可能会带来的后果。后一句句意为：否则，我们可能会中暑。可推测，此句是提出水可以使我们在炎热的天气下凉快下来。
答案： A
5．解析： 此空设于段中，是对第一句的进一步解释。第一句指出，严重脱水可以导致很多疾病，而前一句提出了刚开始的后果，所以可推测，此句是表明几周后，你可能会处于休克状态。
答案： F

The oldest desert (沙漠) in the world is in Namibia (a country in Africa)．The desert is called the Namib Desert.This desert is believed to be nearly 40 million years old! It is truly an ancient desert.
The Namib Desert has some of the world’s biggest sand dunes (沙丘)．The dunes tower high into the sky.One dune，called “Big Daddy”，is almost 1,200 feet (365 meters) high! This means “Big Daddy” is bigger than a 100-story building！People can climb “Big Daddy”．One man climbed to the dune’s crest，or top.Near the crest，the man had to climb on all fours! He had to use his hands to prevent himself from sliding down.
The Namib Desert’s ancient dunes vary in color.When something varies，it changes and becomes different.The Namib Desert dunes vary from orange to red.
During the day，the surface temperature of the sand dunes heats up.The surface temperature can heat up to 54℃.What does one lizard (蜥蜴) do to keep its feet cool? It stands on only two feet at a time! It jumps from pair to pair! This allows the feet in the air to cool off.When this isn’t enough，the lizard dives into the sand.It digs down to where the sand is cooler.
Little water falls on the dunes.Often there is less than half an inch (1.3 centimeters) of rain a year.What does one dune plant do for water? It uses the morning fog (雾)！The fog comes from the Atlantic Ocean nearby.It rolls across the dunes.The plant’s leaves are filled with empty spaces.The empty spaces take in droplets (小水珠) of the water.The plant can survive years without rain by taking in the fog droplets.

The fire started as a very small fire on the morning of August 16,2016.It started on the side of a road near Los Angeles，California.But by the end of the day，the fire had burned 47 square miles.82,000 people had to leave their homes because of the fire.Also，dozens of buildings were destroyed in the fire.The fire also caused traffic problems for hours.
My family were having lunch when we got the news that we had to leave home.My parents were very sad because we had bought the house just a few years before.We quickly ate something and then left.We just hoped that the fire wouldn’t destroy our house.
The fire was finally put out a week later.When we finally returned to our house eight days later，we found our house was still there.Both my parents and I cried in joy.

When planning a vacation，many people consider the popular tourist sites they want to visit.But that’s not what my husband and I did when we planned our vacation to Japan.We thought about the kind of farm we wanted to visit.
Ours was far from a typical (典型的) vacation.We were WWOOFing！WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms.The organization connects people interested in organic farming.Volunteers，known as WWOOFers，help their hosts with daily activities.These include everything from baking bread to picking vegetables.Hosts provide volunteers with food and provide a place for them to stay.
My husband and I certainly felt like family when our host met us at the train station.She told us to call her Okasan-Mom.Likewise，we called her husband Otosan-Dad.Okasan and Otosan own an organic vegetable farm that tries to provide the local people with fresh，healthy food.When no WWOOFers are around to help，the farm work is done only by Otosan and Okasan.As part of the family，we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor at every meal.Eating fresh vegetables three times a day combined with six hours of farm work，certainly did our bodies good.We planted vegetables and cleared rocks from fields.We also packed the vegetables so they could be sold at the market.
Perhaps the most challenging thing we did was weeding a rice field.It was quite challenging because the leaves and roots of the weeds look very similar to the rice.It’s not until both plants are mature (成熟的) that you can clearly tell them apart—only one produces rice.
WWOOFing is unlike anything I’ve ever done before，and I can’t wait to do it again！Let’s WWOOF!

Now，an ancient grain from Ethiopia，teff，is being sold in supermarkets in America.Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopian diet for thousands of years.Teff is known for its small grain.It is mainly used to make flour.
Wayne Carlson learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa in the mid-1970s.“I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hosted by teff farmers.” In the late 70s，Carlson returned to his home state Idaho in the US，married and settled in Southwest Idaho.Then he came up with an idea.
Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers，not do they want to be.So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho，Oregon and Nevada to grow teff.The Carlsons milled (磨粉) it themselves.However，until last year there was not a single Ethiopian restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour to.“The way we started was that Wayne went through the Washington，D.C.，and looked for the names that were Ethiopian in the telephone book.”
Over time，the Teff Company has grown out four different mills.The Carlsons say the teff flour coming off the mill could end up in a good natural foods store or commercial bakery.“Sales of alternatives (替代品) to modern wheat (小麦) are growing quickly each year，” says an industry trade group.
Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University.He says teff production has exploded over the past decade in the US.He also says most teff grown in the US is fed to farm animals.In Idaho，however，where the Carlsons are based，Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food.Teff contains lots of calcium，iron，and protein.Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.
语篇解读 埃塞俄比亚画眉草的种子在埃塞俄比亚被用作食物原料，现在这种农作物被引进到了美国。
29．What did Wayne Carlson probably want to do after returning to Idaho?
A．To become a farmer.
B．To do public health work.
C．To mill grains for a living.
D．To introduce teff to the US.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers，nor do they want to be.So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho，Oregon and Nevada to grow teff.”可推断，Wayne Carlson想将这种作物引进美国。
答案： D
30．What problem did the couple face at first?
A．Their milled flour couldn’t be sold.
B．They didn’t know how to mill grains.
C．They were not good at doing business.
D．Their work wasn’t supported by others.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段的“However，until last year there was not a single Ethiopian restaurant or bakery in the entire state of Idaho for them to sell the milled flour to.”可知，他们俩所面临的问题就是他们磨的面粉卖不出去。
答案： A
31．Why does Roseberg think Wayne Carlson is ahead of his time?
A．Because Wayne Carlson improves the taste of teff.
B．Because Wayne Carlson feeds teff to farm animals.
C．Because Wayne Carlson tries to reduce hunger worldwide.
D．Because Wayne Carlson thinks teff should be used as human food.
解析： 推理判断题。根据末段的“Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food.Teff contains lots of calcium，iron，and protein.Roseberg praises Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.”可推断，是因为Wayne Carlson认为埃塞俄比亚画眉草的种子应该被人食用的缘故。
答案： D

Public transportation is beneficial for many reasons: it helps reduce traffic and air pollution，and supports more efficient (有效的) land use means.Moreover，public transportation is cheaper than driving: It’s reported that a household can save around $9,823 a year by taking public transportation and living with one less car.
If you need another reason to consider using public transportation more often，consider this: taking public transit instead of driving your own vehicle(车辆) reduces your chance of being in a traffic accident by more than 90%.According to the National Safety Council，there were 40,327 motor vehicle deaths in 2016.The majority of these deaths (23,714) were occupants in cars and light trucks.Only 249 passenger deaths in 2016 were the result of train accidents，and there were only 40 deaths of bus occupants in 2016.
Unfortunately，ridership on public transit is declining across the United States.One possibility may be the popularity of ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft，although studies on that differ: some say ride-sharing services increase public transit usage，while others say they reduce it.
Even as ridership in the rest of the country decreases，the Orange County Transportation Authority’s OC Bus 360° system has seen a 19.6% increase since September 2017.They achieved this by adding services to the northern part of the county，where ridership was higher，and cutting some lesser-used routes in other parts.In those areas，they are instead trying OC Flex，an on-demand shuttle (按需班车) service offering unlimited rides for a few dollars per day.
To encourage people to take public transportation，the government has its part to do.Meanwhile，you can also take part.Try using public transportation to get to work or school once a week.Take some time to learn more about the bus routes and other public transportation choices in your area，and find ways to use it.You’ll be doing your part to reduce pollution，and decreasing your risk of being injured in an accident.
语篇解读 本文是议论文。作者主要分析了乘坐公共交通工具的益处，劝说人们多乘坐公共交通工具，并给出了相应的建议。
32．What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 show?
A．Taking buses is safer than taking trains.
B．People can save money by using public transit.
C．Motor vehicle deaths have been on the rise in recent years.
D．Taking public transit is safer than driving one’s own vehicle.
解析： 推理判断题。第二段的主旨句是“taking public transit instead of...traffic accident by more than 90%，”下文列举数据是为了论证该主旨句，即乘坐公共交通工具比驾驶私家车更安全。
答案： D
33．What does the underlined word “declining” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Changing. B．Growing.
C．Dropping. D．Disappearing.
解析： 词义猜测题。第一和第二段阐述了乘坐公共交通工具的好处，第三段用Unfortunately开头，说明下文涉及的内容出现了转折；且由第四段中的Even as ridership in the rest of the country decreases可知，虽然公共交通工具有益处，但乘坐公共交通工具的人数却在下降。
答案： C
34．What has happened in Orange County since September 2017?
A．Public transit services are being provided for free.
B．People are increasingly choosing to take public transit.
C．The government is adding bus routes across the county.
D．The government is putting more money into public transit services.
解析： 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“the Orange County...19.6% increase since September 2017”可知，近来，橙县乘坐公共交通工具的人数有所上升。
答案： B
35．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A．To encourage people to use public transit.
B．To introduce a new public transit system.
C．To give suggestions on how to travel safely on the road.
D．To call for the government to improve public transit services.
解析： 写作目的题。作者首先阐述了乘坐公共交通工具的好处，紧接着介绍了人们乘坐公共交通工具的现状，最后呼吁人们尽可能地使用公共交通服务。作者写前半部分内容是为后面的内容做铺垫，因此，本文作者的主要写作目的是鼓励人们乘坐公共交通工具。
答案： A

Reading is a very good way to learn a new language and culture.__36__
Firstly，it’s important to choose a book which is the right level for you.If you are just starting out with English，don’t try to read a 600-page classic novel！__37__ So start with something at your own level.The more you read at your level the better you will get，and one day，you will be ready for something more difficult!
Secondly，although it’s useful to have a dictionary at hand to look up words，I would suggest trying not to translate everything word for word.You will soon get bored of looking through the dictionary！__38__ And accept that you are not going to understand every word.It will often be the case that the words you don’t recognise are uncommon words that you will never use in your life!
Finally，perseverance (坚持) is important.At first it may seem that reading has become a boring task.__39__ The feeling of finishing a book in a different language is very satisfying.If you finish one book，don’t stop there! The more you read the more vocabulary you will learn and the more you will start to become familiar with sentence structures (结构)．__40__
A．It’s better to use an online dictionary.
B．It will make you feel sad about your own level.
C．If you learn a new word，try to use it in a sentence.
D．If you enjoy reading，why not use it to help you learn English?
E．This will give you more confidence to carry on learning English.
F．Once you get into the story，you will not be able to stop reading!
G．Look up the words that are important for you to understand the text.

答案： B
38．解析： 本空所在段涉及阅读时用词典查阅生词的问题，故G项符合语境。
答案： G
39．解析： F项与上文At first it may seem that reading has become a boring task存在时间上的递进关系和意义上的轻微转折关系，说明阅读英文原版书籍时，一开始像是令人厌烦的任务，但一旦你被带入故事当中，就会发现自己根本停不下来。
答案： F
40．解析： E项是上文The more you read the more...sentence structures所产生的积极影响，读得越多，懂得越多，学英语的信心就越足。
答案： E

61．解析： 考查it的用法。设空处作形式主语，真正的主语是to know why this trend in farming matters，故填it。
答案： it
62．解析： 考查代词。设空处作定语修饰food，表示“他们的”，故填形容词性物主代词their。
答案： their

答案： fully
67．解析： 考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个主句且在从句中作主语，故填which。
答案： which
68．解析： 考查被动语态。land与use之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，因为设空处前有情态动词might，故填be used。
答案： be used
69．解析： 考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处与supporting并列作介词by的宾语，故填buying。
答案： buying
