A
Antarctic seabirds are breeding (繁殖) later，because thinner sea ice is causing their food supplies to decline，a new study says. The birds，which nest in East Antarctica，have delayed their spring arrival by an average of nine days and egg?laying by an average of two days over the past 50 years，according to polar researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research in Villiers en Bois, France. Study authors Christophe Barbrand and Henri Weimerskirch attribute this later breeding activity to decrease in sea ice caused by climate change.
The researchers say the disappearing sea ice，combined with a longer sea?ice season, has interfered with the birds’ breeding cycle by reducing the amount of krill (磷虾) and other prey (猎物) available in early spring in Antarctica. Because Antarctica’s seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere，spring on the icy continent begins in October.
The study is based on data collected at seabird colonies between 1950 and 2004 in Adélie Land, on the eastern edge of the frozen continent.
The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Of the nine species studied, some arrived up to 30 days later than they had in previous years.
Despite much later arrivals, the birds are laying their eggs at pretty much the same time as they had in the past. In the most extreme cases, birds were laying their eggs an average of 3.7 days later in the season than they were 50 years ago.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了生活在南极洲东部的海鸟推迟繁殖的原因。
1．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Seabirds are breeding later in East Antarctica.
B．The amount of krill in the ocean has decreased.
C．The weather in Antarctica has changed.
D．The spring in Antarctica is beginning later.
A 解析：主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章主要介绍的是现在生活在南极洲东部的海鸟的繁殖期由于气候变化而延后。
2．In which of the following months is it autumn in Antarctica?
A．October. B．September.
C．November. D．June.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句可推知南极6月应是秋天。
3．How many kinds of seabirds were studied by the researchers?
A．Two. B．Five.
C．Nine. D．Thirty.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段可知研究了九种鸟。
4．What does the underlined word “attribute” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．It means “contribute”. B．It means “cause”．
C．It means “owe”. D．It means “devote”．
C 解析：词义猜测题。研究者认为这种推迟的生育行为是由于气候变化导致的海冰减少而引起的。attribute...to...“把……归因于……”，C项与之相符。

(2019·陕西高二检测)Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing “Sunshine on My Shoulders”， I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and the outdoors I’ve had for years as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing without shirts in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. As a doctor I can tell you they are also good for your heart.
Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun exposure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a gas whose function is activated when your skin is exposed to the sun’s rays. It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks. Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.
In Japan, walking through forests to keep healthy has become a popular practice. Apparently they want to enjoy the fresh air. But research on 280 volunteers found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.
One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. Direct contact with it may be stabilizing force for good health. Although“earthing”or “grounding” is considered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to reduce heart disease risks.
So, walk around barefoot wherever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者通过叙述自己的经历、感受和一些研究发现，告诉人们户外活动有益于心脏。
5．The first paragraph is meant to ________．
A．show the author likes the song very much
B．put forward the argument of the passage
C．suggest that the author loves nature crazily
D．indicate the author is a Michigan native
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的描述可知，作者写这段的目的是提出文章的论点。
6．Sunbathing’s good for heart because ________．
A．the sun’s rays make nitric oxide work
B．sunlight can help people keep warm
C．the sun’s rays can help replace vitamin D
D．vitamin D reduces blood circulation
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“One reason may be due to nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a gas whose function is activated when your skin is exposed to the sun’s rays. It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.”描述可推知，日光浴对心脏有好处是因为阳光能使一氧化氮工作。
7．It’s believed that walking through forests can ________．
A．make people popular B．help breathe in fresh air
C．reduce blood pressure D．help escape noisy cities
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“But research on 280 volunteers found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.”描述可知，人们普遍认为在森林散步可以降低血压。
8．The best title of the passage should be ________．
A．Nitric Oxide Has Magic Functions
B．Walking Barefoot Builds the Body
C．Sunbathing Is Good for Health
D．Outdoor Activities Benefit the Heart
D 解析：标题归纳题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的“Walking barefoot...for your heart.”及最后一段可知，这篇文章的主旨是户外活动有益于心脏。

A
I was going to die in Antarctica. I was certain. An image of my frost?covered body, pale and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around. In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape being the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.
I was leading an expedition (探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all?female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei.“Era！Stop！”
Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski?pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.
【解题导语】 本文讲述了“我”带领一个国际女子探险队在南极探险，途中“我”的雪橇被雪卡住，以致掉队。后来“我”经过努力，克服了危机，赶上了队伍。
1．What is special about the expedition team?
A．They were all female.

A 解析：细节理解题。从第二段内容可知作者带领的探险队是由来自世界各地普通妇女组成的，因此A项正确。
2．What made the author get her sledge out of the ice was ________．
A．the shouts from her teammates
B．her strong desire to live
C．the sudden change in wind direction

“We all know that exercise is good for us, but can you get the benefits without actually doing the exercise？”asks Michael Mosley.
Having a hot bath or a sauna is a good way to soothe your arms and legs after exercise, but what happens if you do it instead of exercise? Dr. Steve Faulkner of Loughborough University asked me to take part in an experiment comparing the relative benefits of having a long, hot bath versus an hour of hard cycling.
For this study I join a group of volunteers who have all been fitted with monitors which continuously record blood sugar levels. Keeping your blood sugar level within the normal range is an important measure of your “metabolic”fitness.
The first part of the experiment is very relaxing, consisting of having a long, hot bath. While I sit in the bath, which they keep at 40℃， Steve closely monitors my core temperature. Once it has risen and stayed there, I am allowed out.
A couple of hours after my bath I have a light meal. Since we want to see how having a hot bath compares with exercise, we repeat the experiment.
So what’s the result?
“One of the first things that we were looking at，”Steve says, “is the energy expenditure (消耗) while you’re in the hot bath and what we found was an 80% increase in energy expenditure just as a result of sitting in the bath for the course of an hour.”
This is nothing like as many calories as cycling for an hour (which comes out at an average of 630 calories), but we do burn 140 calories, the equivalent of a brisk 30?minute walk.
【解题导语】 实验发现，一个小时的热水浴虽然没有骑一个小时自行车所消耗的热量多，但其所消耗的热量相当于半个小时的快步走所消耗的热量。
5．What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A．Exercise. B．Strengthen.
C．Relax. D．Build up.
C 解析：词义猜测题。结合该句内容和常识可知，在锻炼时，我们的腿和手臂肌肉比较紧张，洗热水澡或桑拿浴可以使这些部位的肌肉得到放松。故选C。
6．What is the purpose of the experiment?
A．To compare energy expenditure of hot bath and cycling.
B．To tell people how to lose weight.
C．To show the benefit of hot bath.
D．To encourage people to have a hot bath instead of cycling.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Dr. Steve Faulkner of Loughborough University asked me to take part in an experiment comparing the relative benefits of having a long, hot bath versus an hour of hard cycling.”可知，做这个实验的目的是把洗热水澡和骑自行车的能量消耗的情况进行对比。故选A。
7．What does normal blood sugar level mean?
A．It means you are healthy.
B．It means your temperature is normal.
C．It means you don’t need exercise.
D．It means your metabolic system is normal.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Keeping your blood sugar level within the normal range is an important measure of your ‘metabolic’ fitness.”可知，保持正常范围内的血糖水平是代谢健康的一个重要衡量标准。据此可知，正常的代谢系统与正常的血糖水平有关。故选D。
8．If you want to burn 600 calories, what can you do?
A．Have a hot bath for one hour. B．Cycle for one hour.
C．Have a brisk 60?minute walk. D．Have a brisk 30?minute walk.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，如果要消耗600卡路里，应骑一个小时自行车。故选B。
七选五
Everyone has someone who’s wronged them in one way or another. Yet forgiveness is something you can achieve as long as you take the following steps.
Decide you want to choose forgiveness.
The first step toward achieving forgiveness is to decide it’s something you actually want to do, not something someone has pressured you into trying. 1.________ Also forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting an injustice, or returning to a relationship that’s harmful.
2．________
It’s kind of a checklist: How are you doing in terms of your anger? How have you been denying it? Are you angrier than you thought you would be? 3.________ Tiredness is the most common physical complaint, as is a pessimistic worldview—believing no one can be trusted or that everyone is only out for themselves. Once you look at those effects, the question becomes: Do you want to heal?
Commit to forgiveness.
Once you have completed stage two and seen how the effects of your anger have made you unhappy, there’s a tendency to give this a try. In this stage, it’s important to commit yourself to doing no harm toward the person you’re trying to forgive. That doesn’t mean being good to them. 4.________
Consider the other person’s wounds.
The goal is to finally feel sympathy for the other person, but don’t start there. 5.________ How was that person hurt in life? How were they treated unjustly? Were they so wounded that they wounded you? You don’t do this to excuse their actions, but to see a scared person, maybe a confused person, someone who is not always right and all?powerful.
A．Make a list.
B．Uncover your anger.
C．Instead, think about them in a new way.
D．It just means you don’t do anything negative.
E．People should not be forced into forgiving.
F．What are the physical consequences of your anger?
G．On the contrary, be committed to your own happiness.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了达到谅解的四个步骤。
1．E 解析：根据空前的“not something someone has pressured you into trying”及选项E “People should not be forced into forgiving.”可知答案。pressure sb. into doing与be forced into doing是近义短语。
2．B 解析：本空是段落小标题，其他小标题都是祈使句，故可推知本空也应填一个祈使句，所以只有A、B、C和G项满足这个条件。该段通过几个连续的问题对“your anger”进行了剖析，即要“找出你的愤怒”，故选B项。
3．F 解析：根据下文中的“Tiredness is the most common physical complaint”及选项F“What are the physical consequences of your anger？”可知，physical是重复出现的词，F项放在本空中，前后语义也是连贯的，所以选F。
4．D 解析：空前的“That doesn’t mean being good to them.”和选项D“It just means you don’t do anything negative.”语意连贯，故选D项。
5．C 解析：上文提到“The goal is...don’t start there.”，可知本空应该是正确的开始，即用一种新的方式来思考这些人 (Instead, think about them in a new way.)，空后进一步提示如何去思考。

I took a trip to Antarctica last year.
First I flew from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to the city of Rio Gallegos in a military (军事的) plane. Then the plane took me and the others to Marambio base, in Antarctica from Rio Gallegos. During the four?hour trip in the Hercules, I was impressed by the ice around us.
As I set foot on Antarctica for the first time in my life, a rush of glory ran through me. The scientists on board told me about the ozone layer (臭氧层) and the British explorer Ernest Shackelton, the second man to set foot on Antarctica. I will never forget what I was told about the ozone layer. I was told it was getting thinner and thinner because of pollution and emission gases, which eventually would change the weather balance in the whole planet. I couldn’t help feeling worried about the future of humans after I heard that.
In Esperanza base there are elementary schools for kids. In Jubany base I saw igloos (拱形圆顶小屋) and it was interesting to learn that only scientists lived there. I was allowed to get near the Antarctic animals. The penguins are my favorite because they are cute and I like the way they stick out their heads in curiosity, the way they walk and how they survive in harsh temperatures. I also saw elephant seals, which from the distance looked like rocks. I was also amazed at watching the amazing humpback whales (座头鲸) for the first time in my life.
After my nine?day trip, I boarded the Hercules to get back. I felt as if I had been on this trip forever because I had lost track of time and space. I also realized that this had been a magical trip.

However, being a doctor was so 5 that she didn’t take up writing until her thirties.She 6 a novel—a fictionalized version of her travel in China after university.She got excellent 7 ．Moira sent it off to as many agents as she could find, and found one who wanted to 8 her.Suddenly, it seemed she was on her 9 as an author.
“I had one lengthy phone call with the agent where we 10 all possible areas that she thought needed 11 ．I worked on those and sent it back to her but didn’t hear anything.”It wasn’t long 12 Moira found another agent who was 13 if she was willing to rewrite it from the first person to the third person.She did the hard work and sent it off again.“I got back a really brief letter：‘Thank you，I’m no longer interested.’It was really 14 ．”
A decade went by, and Moira found herself eager to write again, this time 15 for her own enjoyment.She 16 herself the challenge of creating a thriller and chose Western Australia as her setting.
As she was writing just for herself，something surprising began to happen.“The characters 17 a life of their own；they started doing things I hadn’t thought about.It just 18 ．”One day，an agent called from Australia.Three weeks later, Moira had a publication deal.Her novel，Cicada, was published in March.

【解题导语】 本文通过Moira爱好写作并坚持写作的故事告诉我们：每个人都要为实现自已的梦想而去努力尝试，只有经历过才能够有所得，在追求的过程中不要过于担心结果，只有这样才能成功。
1．A.learnt B．avoided
C．considered D．enjoyed
D 解析：根据首句“From childhood，Moira loved to write.”可知，从童年开始，Moira就爱好写作；由此推断，在上学期间，她仍然喜欢 (enjoyed)写作。
2．A.actively B．professionally
C．energetically D．permanently
B 解析：根据生活常识及该句中的关键词“never a possibility”可知，把写作当作职业来追求几乎是不可能的。actively“积极地”；professionally“作为职业”；energetically“精力充沛地”；permanently“永久地”。
3．A.influential B．clear
C．terrible D．safe
D 解析：根据空处前一句“Her father was a doctor, and her mother was a nurse.”可知，她的父母会给予她医学方面很多的帮助，所以Moira认为医学是一个十分安全的 (safe)选择。
4．A.dream B．purpose
C．choice D．certainty
D 解析：根据空后的“you’d have high income”可知，Moira也认为写作是一个不一定能带来高收入的职业。certainty“确定的事”，符合语境，所以选项D正确。
5．A.promising B．discouraging
C．demanding D．interesting
C 解析：根据空后的“she didn’t take up writing until her thirties”可知，医生是一个要求很高的职业，因此她直到三十多岁才开始写作。promising“有希望的，有前途的”；discouraging“使人泄气的”；demanding“苛刻的，要求高的”；interesting“有趣的”。所以选项C正确。
6．A.produced B．introduced
C．bought D．received

7．A.rewards B．readers
C．reviews D．praises
C 解析：根据该段最后一句“Suddenly, it seemed she was on her ______ as an author.”可以判断，这部小说写出来后，她得到了极好的评论。reward“报酬”；reader“读者”；review“评论”；praise“赞扬”。所以选项C正确。
8．A.employ B．represent
C．trust D．guide

9．A.own B．feet
C．way D．business
C 解析：根据语境可知，她似乎突然就要成为作家了。on one’s way“即将到达或发生”，所以选项C正确。
10．A.took off B．went through

C 解析：参见上题解析。delete“删除”；adapt“适应，改编”；polish“修改，润色”；cover“覆盖，报道”。所以选项C正确。
12．A.before B．after
C．since D．when
A 解析：根据上文中的“sent it back to her but didn’t hear anything”可知，Moira重新把小说发给代理人但是没有收到任何回复，不久之后Moira找到了另外一个代理人。句型It wasn’t long before...意思是“不久之后……”。所以选项A正确。
13．A.fascinated B．interested
C．anxious D．amused
B 解析：根据下文中的“I’m no longer interested”可知，此处指这位代理人对她的书不感兴趣。fascinated“入迷的”；interested“感兴趣的”；anxious“焦急的，忧虑的”；amused“逗笑的”。所以选项B正确。
14．A.common B．absurd
C．terrifying D．disappointing
D 解析：从两位代理人的态度可知，Moira这两次都以失败告终，所以这件事情肯定令她感到失望。common“普遍的”；absurd“荒谬的”；terrifying“令人恐惧的”；disappointing“令人失望的”。所以选项D正确。
15．A.purely B．wonderfully
C．instantly D．sadly

Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you’ve done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart’s content at the Brazilian Carnival，where else can you go? What exotic (异国风情的) tourist destination awaits you?
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It’s considered the last great wilderness on Earth.Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it’s still a small scale.About 37，000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won’t even leave the boat.
The BBC’s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all，causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment.Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline，which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica.It has no native population and it needs advocates.Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation.And they’re likely to engage in the discussion about global warming，which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you’re about to set foot on Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (为……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land，there’s no eating or smoking.Rocks，bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.
【解题导语】 游客应该去南极洲旅游吗？本文介绍了去南极洲旅游的情况和对游客的要求。
1．According to the second paragraph，we can learn that________．
A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travel
B．only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctica
C．Antarctica is less affected by human activities
D．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句话“It’s considered the last great wilderness on Earth.”可知，它被认为是地球上最后的不毛之地。由此可推知，南极洲受人类活动的影响较小。
2．Juliet Rix’s travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that________．
A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica
B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefully
C．the animals’ habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourism
D．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“asked herself if she should be there at all，causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment”以及“Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place”可推知，应认真地考虑一下人们是否应该去南极洲旅游。
3．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Rix?
A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica.
B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica.
C．Tourists can throw away something they don’t need in Antarctica.
D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“...there’s no eating or smoking.Rocks，bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.”可知，A、B、C三项的说法均与原文不符；根据文章结尾处“to enjoy such breathtaking views”可知，游客可以在南极洲欣赏到惊人的景色。
4．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A．Why Can’t Tourists Go to Antarctica?
B．How Can Tourists Go to Antarctica?
C．Should Tourists Go to Antarctica?
D．Are Tourists Allowed to Go to Antarctica?
C 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文的内容可知，文章围绕的是“应该不应该去南极洲旅游？”这一话题，因此C项最适合作标题。
语法填空
A report says about fifty million to seventy million Americans have sleep problems. It says many more are suffering from lack of sleep.
A study has examined 1._______ we need sleep and the effects of sleep loss. The study shows American businesses lose millions of dollars a year because of tired workers. Some 2.__________ (employ) are too tired to report for work. They have more accidents or are 3.___________ (little) productive at work. Other costs include increased visits 4.__________ doctors.
The study finds that 20% of injuries 5.____________ (cause) by car accidents are linked to sleepy drivers. Other studies have linked poor sleep to a risk of health problems like heart disease, depression and 6.____________ (healthy) amounts of body fat. Researchers say the reason for this link is unclear.
Many experts say 7.______ large amount of sleep is as important to health as diet and exercise. They say most people need seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Less than that can influence 8.__________ mental and physical abilities. It can lead to more serious problems, including severe sleeplessness. People with this condition temporarily stop 9._________ (breathe) while they sleep.
Researchers suggest the public 10.____________ (inform) of the problem and take steps to prevent sleep disorders.
【解题导语】 充足的睡眠同饮食和健康一样重要。本文介绍了睡眠不足造成的影响及研究人员建议公众采取措施解决睡眠不足这一问题。
1．why 解析：考查宾语从句。一项研究分析了为什么我们需要睡眠以及缺乏睡眠的影响。分析句子结构可知，空处引导宾语从句且从句中缺少原因状语，故填why。
2．employees 解析：考查名词。根据空前的Some可知，空处应用名词复数。some employees“一些员工”。employee“雇员，雇工”；employer“雇主，老板”。根据语境可知，空处应填employees。
3．less 解析：考查形容词的比较级。工作中，睡眠不足的雇员会遇到更多的事故且效率较低。根据空前的more可知，此处应用形容词的比较级。
4．to 解析：考查介词。空前的visits为名词复数，其后常用介词to。
5．caused 解析：考查非谓语动词。cause和它所修饰的名词injuries之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，此处表示“由汽车事故造成的伤害”，故用caused作后置定语。
6．unhealthy 解析：考查形容词。其他研究已经把睡眠质量差与像患心脏病这样的健康问题的风险、 (意志)消沉和不健康的体内脂肪含量联系了起来。空处修饰名词amounts且和depression意义相近，故填unhealthy。
7．a 解析：考查冠词。a large amount of是固定搭配，意为“大量，许多”，用来修饰不可数名词。
8．both/their 解析：考查代词。少于这个时间会影响身心能力。both与后面的and构成固定搭配，意为“……和……”。或结合上文中的“most people”可知，此处也可用their修饰后面的名词abilities，表示“他们的身心能力”。
9．breathing 解析：考查非谓语动词。stop doing sth.“停止做某事”，为固定用法。故填breathing。
10．(should) be informed 解析：考查虚拟语气和语态。suggest表示“建议”，后跟宾语从句时从句中要用虚拟语气，即从句中的谓语动词用“should＋动词原形”，且should可以省略。另外，the public与动词inform之间是被动关系，故用其被动形式，因此填 (should) be informed。

I once had a bad experience. One day several years ago, I went shop with my friends. As I entered a small shoe store, but I saw two women selecting shoes. Suddenly they raise their voice and began to talk loudly about how beautifully the shoes were and how low the price was. Just then an old couple walked onto the shop. The two women urged her to buy a pair. When the couple left a store with the shoes, I noticed that the shop owner gave the two women some cashes. He also promised offer them more unless more people bought his shoes.

One possible version：
Antarctica is a place many explorers want to explore, where there is much wildlife that has adapted to its extreme conditions. Many well?known animals such as penguins and seals live there. Up to now only a small number of scientists have visited there. In my opinion, exploration is interesting and challenging. So I desire to set foot on Antarctica to see penguins. In addition, I long to promote its beauty and appeal to everyone to protect it. Maybe one day lots of households will live there.

Above 3，000 people swam across a river in Guangdong Province in a move to make people more aware of environmental protection for the major waterway in south China.?
The swimmers including teenagers and elders in their 60s, crossed the 450?meter?wide section of the Pearl River in Guangzhou.
The local authority organized the swimming activity to show the pollution treatment achievement on the country’s third longest river, and make people more aware of environmental protection.??
A 62?year?old swimmer said the water quality had been improved in recent years and now could match the cleanness when he swam in the river in his childhood.?
A mass crossing of the river was once held in the 1970s, but for many years since then, it had been impossible for a large group of people to swim across it because of heavy industrial pollution.
Guangdong government has spent tens of millions of dollars controlling the pollution by shutting down or moving heavily polluting factories.

Mark is always engaged in his work. But this time he felt that it was time for him to take part in his community，so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.The area city councilwoman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was on the decline.The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls.There were charts for parking problems， crime，and for problems in empty buildings.Mark read from the charts，“Police patrols cut back, illegal parking up 20%”.People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark.“The problems are too big”， he thought.He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time.Nothing I can do would make a difference here.”
As he neared the bus stop on his way home, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag, and a baby. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly ran into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted, and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with your mom，”he said.Then he picked up the stray groceries and the woman smiled in relief.“Thanks，”she said，“you’ve got great timing.”“Just being neighborly，” Mark said.As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Mark去参加社区会议时，发现社区里存在很多问题，但他觉得自己对解决这些问题起不了多大作用。在回家的路上，他帮助了一个妇人，这件事情让他改变了自己的态度。

New research from Princeton University in New Jersey found something else special about how adults—in this case mothers—speak to their very young children.
“We found for the first time that mothers shift their timbre，”said Elise Piazza, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University. Piazza added，“Timbre is best explained as the unique quality of a sound. Barry White’s silky voice sounds different from Tom Waits’ poor one—even if they’re singing the same note.”
Using special equipment, Piazza and other Princeton researchers found that mothers shared similar changes in timbre when speaking to babies. The researchers tried to record the sounds mothers used with their babies at home. “We chose to record mothers playing with and reading to their own babies just like they would at home，” Piazza said. She wanted the discussions to be as natural as possible.
The research offers new ways to show differences between how adults speak to babies, compared to fellow adults. The research was not limited just to English speakers. Researchers listened to discussions in seven other languages: Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Cantonese, German, and French.
Piazza said the research provides more information besides what is mentioned above. For example, she said, it could include how people change their timbre when speaking to friends or managers at work; how candidates speak to voters; and how people speak to their boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses (配偶)．
The Princeton research follows earlier research on baby talk. In 2014, researchers from the University of Washington and University of Connecticut looked at thousands of verbal discussions between parents and babies. They compared regular speaking voices and baby talk. Patricia K. Kuhl, a co?director of the University of Washington, said researchers found that use of baby talk led to better early language development.

A．People can’t change their sound quality.
B．Barry White has a better voice than Tom Waits.
C．People’s sound quality varies from person to person.
D．Their sounds appear differently with the same loudness.

29．What does the research show according to Paragraph 5?
A．How people communicate effectively with others.
B．How people speak in different situations.
C．How timbre improves in different cases.
D．How people express ideas to others.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知，除了上面提到的 (即研究发现成人与婴儿说话的方式不同于他们跟成人说话的方式)，这项研究还提供了关于人们如何与朋友或工作场所的管理者说话及候选人如何与投票人说话和人们如何与男朋友、女朋友或配偶说话的信息，即该研究还表明了人们在不同的场合下怎样说话。故选B。
30．If one more paragraph is added, it should focus on ________．
A．baby talk’s development
B．examples of baby talk’s help
C．parents’ comment on the research
D．baby talk’s advantages and disadvantages
B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“researchers found that use of baby talk led to better early language development”可知，接下来应该介绍baby talk对婴儿早期语言发展有利的例子。故选B。

On January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4，000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.
The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly?expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.
Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.
Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.
France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110，000 tons of goods received annually, only 36，000 tons come from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.
Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France, an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。法国成为世界上第一个通过法律规定要求超市捐赠接近保质期食物给粮食银行而不是扔掉食物的国家。该规定有效防止了食物浪费。
32．What should stores do with nearly?expired food?
A．Throw it away.
B．Send it to the hungry.
C．Store it in refrigerators.
D．Give it away to food banks.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，法国通过的这项法律要求商店必须将即将过期的食品捐献给粮食银行，而不是扔掉，故D项正确。
33．What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Extra. B．Cheap.
C．Seasonal. D．Returned.
A 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句可知，酸奶或牛奶等可能很快就会变质的这种过多产品现在可以直接捐赠给粮食银行，据此可以判断，画线词意为“额外的，超额的”，故A项正确。B项意为“便宜的”，C项意为“季节性的”，D项意为“退还的”，都与语境不符。
34．What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks?
A．They have a lot of expired food.
B．They will get much benefit from the law.
C．Their food is enough for the people in need.
D．Their food mainly comes from supermarkets.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food.”和最后一句可知，Bailet认为，法国的粮食银行将从这项法律中受益良多，故B项正确。
35．What does Dermabarsh plan to do?
A．Build more food banks in France.
B．Make the law take effect in more places.
C．Launch a campaign to promote this law.
D．Raise consumers’ awareness of waste reduction.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第二句“He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations.”可知，Arash Dermabarsh计划将这项法律推行到其他场所和国家，故B项正确。

【解题导语】 本文介绍了紫禁城的位置、历史以及建筑抗震强的原因。
61．located 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处充当定语，省略了which is; be located at表示“位于”。
62．to serve 解析：考查非谓语动词。manage后面用动词不定式作宾语，故填to serve。
63．natural 解析：考查形容词。空处充当定语，修饰disasters，说明被修饰词的性质，表示“自然的”，故用形容词形式natural。
64．how 解析：考查副词。句意：为了表明中国古代的建筑是多么的结实，英国第四频道电视台的一个电视纪录片探索了古代中国建筑设计师们的技艺。how表示“多么”，修饰形容词strong。
65．engineers 解析：考查名词的单复数。and连接并列结构，前后保持一致，前面用名词复数carpenters，故空处也应该用名词engineer的复数形式。
66．was put 解析：考查动词的时态和语态。句意：这个模型被投入到试验中。根据上下文可知，动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时，又因为主语The model与谓语动词put构成被动关系，故填was put。
67．gently 解析：考查词性转换。空处修饰动词moved，故用其副词形式gently。
68．an 解析：考查冠词。method是可数名词，这里表示泛指一种，故用不定冠词，又因为空后是发音以元音音素开头的old，故填an。
69．without 解析：考查介词。根据上下文可知，用dougong这种技术建造房子不用钉子和胶水，故填without。
70．keeping 解析：考查动名词。keep充当介词at的宾语，故用其动名词形式。
