see
it
or
__2__
it
and
no
amount
of
money
can
__3__
it.
Time
is
abstract,
so
we
have
to
__4__
about
it.
Time
passes
very
quickly.
Some
students
say
they
don't
have
__5__
time
to
review
all
their
lessons.
It
is
because
they
don't
know
how
to
make
use
of
their
time.
They
waste
it
in
going
to
theatres,
cinemas
and
parks,
and
doing
other
things.
Why
do
we
study
every
day?
Why
do
we
__6__?
Why
do
most
people
would
rather

is
very
simple.
We
wish
to

living
in
the
21st
century.
We
look
upon
time
as
__9__.
When
a
person
dies,
his
life
__10__.
Since
life
is
short,
we
must
__11__

time
and
energy
to
our
study
so
that
we
may
be
able
to
__12__
the
people
well
in
the
future.
Laziness
is
the
thief
of
time,
for
it
does
not
only
bring
us
failure
but
also
__13__
us
other
harm.
If
it
is
necessary
for
us
to
do
our
work
today,
let
us
do
it
today
and
not
__14__
it
until
tomorrow.
Remember
that
time
is
much
more
__15__
than
money.

阅读理解
A
Even
though
human
being
has
known
asbestos(石棉)for
many
hundreds
of
years,
it
was
not
until
160
years
ago
that
it
was
mined
for
the
first
time
on
the
North
American
continent.
H.
W.
Johns,
owner
of
a
New
York
City
Supply
Shop
for
roofers(修屋顶的工人),
was
responsible
for
the
opening
of
that
first
mine.
Mr
Johns
was
given
a
piece
of
asbestos
which
had
been
found
in
Italy.
He
experimented
with
the
material
and
then
showed
its
surprising
power
to
his
customers.
After
putting
on
a
pair
of
asbestos
gloves,
which
looked
much
like
ordinary
work
gloves,
he
took
red?hot
coals
from
the
fireplace
and
played
with
them
in
his
hands.
How
astonished
the
customers
were
to
discover
that
he
was
not
burned
at
all.
You
can
well
imagine
that
he
had
increasing
business
in
asbestos
roofing
materials.
However,
because
it
was
very
expensive
to
transport
or
carry
them
from
Italy
to
the
United
States,
Mr
Johns
sent
out
a
young
scientist
to
seek
a
source
nearer
home.
This
young
man
found
great
vein(岩脉),
in
the
province
of
Quebec
in
Canada.
Ever
since
1881
Quebec
has
led
the
world
in
the
production
of
this
unusual
mineral,
which
is
made
up
of
magnesium,
silicon,
iron,
and
oxygen.
When
it
is
mined,
the
asbestos
is
heavy,
just
as
you
would
expect
a
mineral
to
be.
When
it
is
separated,
a
strange
thing
happens:
the
rock
breaks
down
into
fine,
soft,
soapy
fibres(纤维).
Scientists
do
not
know
why
the
rock
can
be
separated
easily
into
threads(线),
but
they
have
found
thousands
of
uses
of
this
fireproof
material,
often
the
so?called
“cloth
of
stone”.
短文介绍了耐火材料石棉在北美的开采过程及它的神奇的耐火作用。尽管人类早在几百年前就知道石棉,可是真正在北美开采是在160年前。

解析:推理判断题。从短文中可以看出来作者写这篇文章只不过陈述事实而已。故答案为D。
答案:D
B
China
has
completed
its
home?grown
BeiDou
Navigation
(导航)
Satellite
System
(BDS)
with
the
successful
launch
of
two
more
BDS?3
satellites,
19
in
all,
and
has
started
providing
services
to
countries
participating
in
the
Belt
and
Road
Initiative
(BRI)
since
the
end
of
2018.
The
BDS,
which
will
compete
against
the
US'
Global
Positioning
System
(GPS),
will
provide
high?precision,
reliable
positioning,
navigation
and
timing
services
anywhere
in
the
world
by
the
end
of
2020.
The
Belt
and
Road
Initiative
is
an
ambitious
effort
to
improve
regional
cooperation
and
connectivity
in
a
transcontinental
range.
The
initiative
aims
to
strengthen
infrastructure
(基础设施),
trade,
and
investment
links
between
China
and
some
65
other
countries.
It
is
also
expected
to
increase
Beijing's
influence
in
these
countries.
“This
is
a
key
step
for
the
BDS
developing
from
a
Chinese
home
system
to
a
regional
and
then
a
global
navigation
system,”
said
Yang
Changfeng,
chief
designer
of
the
BeiDou
system.
China
plans
to
launch
another
11
BDS?3
satellites
between
the
end
of
2018
and
2020.
China
developed
the
BDS
through
a
unique
technological
approach,
contributing
Chinese
wisdom
to
the
theory
and
construction
of
international
satellite
navigation
systems.
Altogether
18
BDS
satellites
have
been
sent
into
space
in
2018,
making
that
year
the
most
intensive
launch
of
the
BDS
satellites.
They
improved
their
work
efficiency
by
reforming
the
management
process.
The
number
of
satellite
staff
at
the
launch
center
has
been
reduced
by
nearly
half,
and
the
testing
time
before
launch
has
been
shortened
by
nearly
a
third.
In
the
CAST
production
base
in
Beijing,
several
BDS
satellites
are
being
manufactured
at
the
same
time.
They
try
to
improve
intelligent
manufacturing
capability,
and
cut
down
production
time.
Construction
of
the
BDS?3
system
has
accelerated.
Once
the
BDS
is
fully
completed,
it
will
be
the
fourth
global
satellite
navigation
system
after
the
US'
GPS
system,
Russia's
GLONASS
and
the
European
Union's
Galileo.
India
too,
is
building
its
navigational
system
called
the
Indian
Regional
Navigation
Satellite
System
(IRNSS),
with
an
operational
name
of
NAVIC.
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国北斗卫星导航系统正在一步一步地完成它的既定目标,并将最终成为全球第四个卫星导航系统。
5.When
can
the
BDS
offer
global
services?
A.In
2018.
B.In
2019.
C.In
2020.
D.In
2025.

Recordings
of
angry
bees
are
enough
to
send
big,
tough
African
elephants
running
away,
a
new
study
says.
Beehives
(蜂窝)—either
recorded
or
real—may
even
prevent
elephants
from
damaging
farmer's
crops.
In
2002,
scientist
Lucy
King
and
her
team
found
that
elephants
avoid
certain
trees
with
bees
living
in
them.
Today,
Lucy
wants
to
see
if
African
honeybees
might
discourage
elephants
from
eating
crops.
But
before
she
asked
farmer
to
go
to
the
trouble
of
setting
up
beehives
on
their
farms,
she
needed
to
find
out
if
the
bees
would
scare
elephants
away.
Lucy
found
a
wild
beehive
inside
a
tree
in
northern
Kenya
and
set
up
a
recorder.
Then
she
threw
a
stone
into
the
beehive,
which
burst
into
life.
Lucy
and
her
assistant
hid
in
their
car
until
the
angry
bees
had
calmed
down.
Next,Lucy
searched
out
elephant
families
in
Samburu
National
Reserve
in
northern
Kenya
and
put
a
speaker
in
a
close
to
each
family.
From
a
distance,
Lucy
switched
on
the
pre?recorded
sound
of
angry
bees
while
at
the
same
time
recording
the
elephants
with
a
video
camera.
Half
the
elephant
groups
left
the
area
within
ten
seconds.
Out
of
a
total
of
17
groups,
only
one
group
ignored
the
sound
of
the
angry
bees.
Lucy
reported
that
all
the
young
elephants
immediately
ran
to
their
mothers
to
hide
under
them.
When
Lucy
played
the
sound
of
a
waterfall
(瀑布)
instead
of
the
angry
bees
to
many
of
the
same
elephant
families,
the
animals
were
undisturbed.
Even
after
four
minutes,
most
of
the
groups
stayed
in
one
place.
Lucy
is
now
studying
whether
the
elephants
will
continue
to
avoid
the
sound
of
angry
bees
after
hearing
it
several
times.
She
hasn't
tested
enough
groups
yet
to
know,
but
her
initial
(最初的)
results
were
promising
enough
to
begin
trials
with
farmers.
She
has
now
begun
placing
speakers
in
the
fields
to
see
if
elephants
are
frightened
away.
本文讲述了非洲大陆的大象十分害怕蜜蜂的声音,科学家Lucy
King正在研究是否可以利用这个现象来保护庄稼不受大象的侵扰。

had
calmed
down.他们找到一个蜂巢,放好录音机,然后扔一个石块击中蜂巢,让蜜蜂都飞起来寻找敌人。他们录下这个声音。可知他们扔石头是为了录下愤怒的蜜蜂的声音。故A正确。
答案:A

of
the
following
is
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.Young
elephants
ignore
African
honeybees.
B.Waterfalls
can
make
elephants
stay
in
one

not
go
near
trees
with
bees
living
in

Ⅱ.七选五
Is
Fresh
Air
Really
Good
for
You?
We
all
grew
up
hearing
people
tell
us
to
“go
out
and
get
some
fresh
air.”
__1__
According
to
recent
studies,the
answer
is
a
big
YES,if
the
air
quality
in
your
camping
area
is
good.
__2__
If
the
air
you're
breathing
is
clean—which
it
would
be
if
you're
away
from
the
smog
of
cities—then
the
air
is
filled
with
life?giving,energizing
oxygen.
If
you
exercise
out
of
doors,your
body
will
learn
to
breathe
more
deeply,allowing
even
more
oxygen
to
get
to
your
muscles
(肌肉)
and
your
brain.
Recently,people
have
begun
studying
the
connection
between
the
natural
world
and
healing
(治愈).
__3__
In
these
places
patients
can
go
to
be
near
nature
during
their
recovery.
It
turns
out
that
just
looking
at
green,growing
things
can
reduce
stress,
lower
blood
pressure,and
put
people
into
a
better
mood
(情绪).
Greenery
is
good
for
us.
Hospital
patients
who
see
tree
branches
out
their
window
are
likely
to
recover
at
a
faster
rate
than
patients
who
see
buildings
or
sky
instead.
__4__
It
gives
us
a
great
feeling
of
peace.
__5__
While
the
sun's
rays
can
age
and
harm
our
skin,
they
also
give
us
beneficial
Vitamin
D.
To
make
sure
you
get
enough
Vitamin
D—but
still
protect
your
skin—
put
on
sunscreen
right
as
you
head
outside.
It
takes
sunscreen
about
fifteen
minutes
to
start
working,
and
that's
plenty
of
time
for
your
skin
to
absorb
a
day's
worth
of
Vitamin
D.
A.Fresh
air
cleans
our
lungs.
B.So
what
are
you
waiting
for?
C.Being
in
nature
refreshes
us.
D.Another
side
benefit
of
getting
fresh
air
is
sunlight.
E.But
is
fresh
air
really
as
good
for
you
as
your
mother
always
said?
F.Just
as
importantly,
we
tend
to
associate
air
with
health
care.
G.All
across
the
country,
recovery
centers
have
begun
building
Healing
Gardens.
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气的好处:新鲜空气中的氧气和阳光对人们的身心健康均有好处。人们已经开始利用大自然和治愈疾病的关系,建造“康复花园”,治疗病人了。
1.E 解析:根据下一句中的“the
answer
is
a
big
YES”可知,该空应该是一个一般疑问句,选项中只有E选项是一般疑问句。故选E:但是新鲜空气真的像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗?空前的people
tell
us
to
“go
out
and
get
some
fresh
air”和选项中的“your
mother
always
said”亦是呼应。
2.A 解析:根据下一句中提到的“If
the
air
you're
breathing
is
clean...the
air
is
filled
with
life?giving,
energizing
oxygen”可知,新鲜空气充满赋予人生命的,充满活力的氧气。下文中“...breathe
more
deeply,
allowing
even
more
oxygen
to
get
to
your
muscles(肌肉)and
your
brain”是对前文的递进:在户外,更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知,该空应该提到新鲜空气的基本作用,根据常识,我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部,然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益,故该空应选A选项:新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部。
3.G 解析:根据下一句中提到的“these
places”可以推知,该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G选项提到该类名词,故选G:在全国,康复中心已经开始建造“康复花园”。these
places就是指Healing
Gardens。
4.C 解析:前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用:绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力,降低血压,使人情绪良好。空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”。该空起承上启下的作用,仍然要提到处于“康复花园”这种自然环境中的好处,空后的It也要指代这种情况。故C选项切题:身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。
5.D 解析:根据下文中提到的“the
sun's
rays...give
us
beneficial
Vitamin
D”可知,该段介绍的是阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳光。选项中只有D选项涉及阳光。故选D:获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。Unit

Ⅱ.阅读理解
There's
a
new
frontier
in
3D
printing
that's
beginning
to
come
into
focus:
food.
Recent
development
has
made
possible
machines
that
print,
cook,
and
serve
foods
on
a
mass
scale.
And
the
industry
isn't
stopping
there.
Food
production
With
a
3D
printer,
a
cook
can
print
complicated
chocolate
sculptures
and
beautiful
pieces
for
decoration
on
a
wedding
cake.
Not
everybody
can
do
that—it
takes
years
of
experience,
but
a
printer
makes
it
easy.
A
restaurant
in
Spain
uses
a
Foodini
to
“re?create
forms
and
pieces”
of
food
that
are
“exactly
the
same,”
freeing
cooks
to
complete
other
tasks.
In
another
restaurant,
all
of
the
dishes
and
desserts
it
serves
are
3D?printed,
rather
than
from
farm
to
table.
Sustainability(可持续性)
The
global
population
is
expected
to
grow
to
9.6
billion
by
2050,
and
some
analysts
estimate
that
food
production
will
need
to
be
raised
by
50
percent
to
maintain
current
levels.
Sustainability
is
becoming
a
necessity.
3D
food
printing
could
probably
contribute
to
the
solution.
Some
experts
believe
printers
could
use
hydrocolloids
(水解胶体)
from
plentiful
renewables
like
algae
(藻类)
and
grass
to
replace
the
familiar
ingredients(烹饪原料).
3D
printing
can
reduce
fuel
use
and
emissions.
Grocery
stores
of
the
future
might
stock
“food”
that
lasts
years
on
end,
freeing
up
shelf
space
and
reducing
transportation
and
storage
requirements.
Nutrition
Future
3D
food
printers
could
make
processed
food
healthier.
Hod
Lipson,
a
professor
at
Columbia
University,
said,
“Food
printing
could
allow
consumers
to
print
food
with
customized
nutritional
content,
like
vitamins.
So
instead
of
eating
a
piece
of
yesterday's
bread
from
the
supermarket,
you'd
eat
something
baked
just
for
you
on
demand.”
Challenges
Despite
recent
advancements
in
3D
food
printing,
the
industry
has
many
challenges
to
overcome.
Currently,
most
ingredients
must
be
changed
to
a
paste(糊状物)
before
a
printer
can
use
them,
and
the
printing
process
is
quite
time?consuming,
because
ingredients
interact
with
each
other
in
very
complex
ways.
On
top
of
that,
most
of
the
3D
food
printers
now
are
restricted
to
dry
ingredients,
because
meat
and
milk
products
may
easily
go
bad.
Some
experts
are
skeptical
about
3D
food
printers,
believing
they
are
better
suited
for
fast
food
restaurants
than
homes
and
high?end
restaurants.
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D打印技术在食物上的应用取得了进展,但目前仍面临着许多方面的挑战。
1.What
benefit
does
3D
printing
bring
to
food
production?
A.It
helps
cooks
to
create
new
dishes.
B.It
saves
time
and
effort
in
cooking.
C.It
improves
the
cooking
conditions.
D.It
contributes
to
restaurant
decorations.
解析:细节理解题。根据Food
production中叙述的没有经验的人用3D打印机做出复杂的巧克力雕塑和美丽的婚礼蛋糕以及餐厅能用3D打印机打印出所有的菜肴和甜点,可知3D打印的优势是节省了做饭的时间和精力。
答案:B
2.What
can
we
learn
about
3D
food
printing
from
Paragraph
3?
A.It
solves
food
shortages
easily.
B.It
quickens
the
transportation
of
food.
C.It
needs
no
space
for
the
storage
of
food.
D.It
uses
renewable
materials
as
sources
of
food.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段Some
experts
believe
printers
could
use
hydrocolloids
(水解胶体)
from
plentiful
renewables
like
algae(藻类)
and
grass
to
replace
the
familiar
ingredients(烹饪原料).可知,3D打印机可以使用可再生材料作为食物来源。故选D。
答案:D
3.What
is
the
main
factor
that
prevents
3D
food
printing
from
spreading
widely?
A.The
printing
process
is
complicated.
B.3D
food
printers
are
too
expensive.
C.Food
materials
have
to
be
dry.
D.Some
experts
doubt
3D
food
printing.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段most
of
the
3D
food
printers
now
are
restricted
to
dry
ingredients,
because
meat
and
milk
products
may
easily
go
bad.可知,阻止3D打印食物进一步广泛使用的原因是原料必须是干的,含水多的肉和牛奶不能应用于3D打印,因为很容易坏。故选C。
答案:C
4.What
could
be
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.3D
Food
Printing:
Delicious
New

D.3D
Food
Printing:

答案:A
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
The
eight?year?old
Carol
lived
with
her
father
David,
Mother
May
and
elder
brother
Rob.
The
little
family
happily
lived
in
a
beautiful
village
surrounded
with
beautiful
nature.
The
village
was
at
the
foot
of
a
mountain,
with
beautiful
views
of
the
snowy
mountain.
The
family
survived
on
growing
seasonal
plants
and
trees.
Their
life
is
totally
surrounded
by
nature
and
beauty.
While
they
lived
a
very
happy
life,
Carol
did
not
love
the
beautiful
atmosphere
of
the
village.
She
really
wanted
to
move
into
the
city
and
enjoy
the
city
life.
She
wanted
to
shop,
move
around
the
city,
watch
movies,
and
eat
in
fantastic
restaurants
and
cafes,
etc.
However,
there
was
hardly
any
chance
that
Carol's
family
moved
to
the
city
as
they
had
everything
in
the
village.
One
day,
Carol
fell
asleep
during
the
early
afternoon
and
she
had
a
sound
sleep.
Of
course,
she
had
a
strange
dream.
She
saw
her
grandmother
in
her
dream
as
a
fairy
and
her
deceased
grandmother
granted
her
a
wish.
Carol
requested
her
that
she
should
love
to
enjoy
the
city
life
as
she
always
desired.
Grandmother
understood
the
desire
of
Carol,
but
still
wanted
to
convince
her
that
the
peaceful
village
life
is
better
than
the
city
life.
She
told
Carol,
“Baby,
you
cannot
have
access
to
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
from
plants
as
you
have
at
your
home.
You
cannot
breathe
fresh
air.
You
cannot
play
with
animals.
You
can
hardly
find
any
trees.
You
will
not
find
peace
as
you
see
here!
Do
you
still
want
to
go
to
the
city?”
Without
hearing
the
concerns,
Carol
asked
her
grandmother
to
grant
the
wish.
Grandmother
granted
her
wish,
but
with
a
condition.
Carol
was
told
that
she
would
only
have
6
hours
to
spend
in
the
city.
Later,
she
would
return
to
the
village.
Carol
agreed.

What
Is
Fear?
Fear
is
a
basic
feeling
arising
when
we
feel
threatened,
and
can
have
physical
symptoms
such
as
sweaty
hands
and
an
increased
heart
rate.
__1__
On
the
upside...?
Fear
means
growth.
Fear
tells
us
we
are
moving
towards
the
edge
of
our
comfort
zone.
We
are
doing
something
unfamiliar
and
learning
new
skills.
This
means
we
are
growing,
and
growth
means
that
once
we
go
beyond
the
uncomfortable
bit,
we
will
be
stronger,
better
and
brighter
than
before!
__2__
Things
are
never
as
bad
as
they
seem.
In
most
cases,
the
thing
we
fear
is
never
as
bad
as
we
think
it
will
be.
When
we
are
trying
to
make
a
decision
to
do
something
new,
we
lack
the
perspective
to
see
further
than
the
familiar
range.
__3__
No.
If
you
look
back
on
some
of
the
scary
things
you've
had
to
do
in
the
past,
you
would
now
say,
“What
was
so
scary
about
this?!”
We
are
always
stronger
than
we
think!
Fear
can
teach
us
so
much
about
our
personal
powers.
There
is
no
other
feeling
like
the
victory
you
feel
that
makes
you
realize
you
won.
__4__
Who
cares?
You
made
the
leap!
This
will
build
your
confidence!
Think
of
your
yoga
practice.
We
can
stand
on
our
hands,
even
though
we
sometimes
doubted
it.
And
it
will
make
us
realize
that
we
are
so
strong!
Fear
is
part
of
life,
and
doesn't
need
to
be
eliminated.
__5__
We
can
welcome
it;
we
can
cope
with
it
and
proceed
in
spite
of
it.
The
best
decisions
in
life
art
are
rarely
the
easiest
ones.
Or
rather,
they
may
seem
easy,
but
often
come
with
fear.
To
quit
your
job
is
not
easy,
but
if
you
know
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
you
know
what
you
need
to
do.
Following
your
heart
will
not
come
without
fear,
but
it
will
come
with
big
rewards.
A.Face
the
feeling
of
fear
bravely.
B.And
everything
unfamiliar
is
scary?
C.Catch
every
opportunity
to
be
successful.
D.We
don't
need
to
remove
fear
from
our
lives.
E.So
when
you
feel
fear
approaching,
say
thank
you!
F.You
succeeded,
even
though
not
every
try
is
perfect.
G.But
it
can
be
a
useful
feeling
when
it
comes
to
keeping
us
safe.
本文是议论文。恐惧虽说让人手心出汗、心跳加快等,但它也是一种有益的体验,因为恐惧意味着成长,让我们比以前更强大、更坚强!
1.G 解析:从下面的小标题可以看出本文主要讲恐惧的益处。通过对七个选项的对比可知,G项“但当说到保护我们安全时,恐惧会是一种有用的感觉”符合语境。故选G项。
2.E 解析:根据该段小标题可知:恐惧让我们成长。由空前内容可知,恐惧让我们比以前更强大、更好、更阳光,因此我们要感谢它。故选E项。
3.B 解析:根据本空后的“No”可知应该是一个疑问句,因此通过对比可知,只有B项符合题意。故选B项。
4.F 解析:由空前的“There
is
no
other
feeling
like
the
victory
you
feel
that
makes
you
realize
you
won.”可知,没有任何其他的感觉能像胜利那样让你意识到你赢了。F项的You
succeeded与之相符,故选F项。
5.D 解析:本段的小标题为“Fear
is
part
of
life,and
doesn't
need
to
be
eliminated”,即恐惧是生活的一部分,不需要被消除。D项所表达的意思与之是一致的,故选D项。

To
finish
today's
problem,
I
want
to
tell
you
about
the
Rose
Shopping
Centre.
It's
taken
three
years
to
build
and
finally
opened
three
weeks
ago.
Firstly,
getting
there;
there
are
organised
coach
trips
from
most
towns
but
they
leave
early
and
come
back
very
late,
so
I
drove.
You
can
also
get
there
by
subway,but
the
station
is
15
minutes
from
the
centre
by
bus,
and
the
buses
are
really
crowded.
The
shops
don't
open
till
10
am
except
on
Saturday
when
they
open
at
9:00.
They
close
at
8
o'clock
every
day
except
Friday
when
they're
open
until
9
pm.
The
centre
has
three
floors.
There
are
25
different
shops
on
F1
and
F2,
and
there
are
seven
different
banks
on
F3,
as
well
as
several
restaurants
and
a
cinema.
Although
I
had
a
good
day,I
had
one
complaint.
Everywhere
was
at
first
quite
clean
but
people
were
dropping
their
fast
food
boxes
and
empty
drink
cans
on
the
ground
because
there
weren't
any
garbage
cans
to
throw
them
in.
Thank
you
all
for
listening.
That's
all
for
today's
programme.
第二部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
At
27,
after
serving
in
World
War
II,
I
dreamed
of
owning
a
piece
of
land.So
I
moved
from
central
Illinois
to
Shelbina,
Missouri,
and
bought
236
acres
for
$6,000.
The
plot
of
land
was
situated
on
a
dirt
road
and
was
half
farmland
and
half
trees,
with
an
old
house
that
had
no
running
water
or
electricity.
Obviously,
it
was
not
what
you'd
call
prime
real
estate.
But
it
was
mine.
I
was
alone
for
the
first
time
in
my
life,
and
I
found
it
liberating.
My
days
were
filled
from
dawn
until
dusk
with
plowing
and
planting
corn.
Dinnertime
came
and
went,
and
I
barely
remembered
to
eat.
I
wouldn't
say
I
was
a
great
success
at
farming
in
Missouri.
However,
when
I
went
to
the
store
to
buy
some
plowshares,
I
met
a
nice
woman
named
Claudette
working
behind
the
counter.
I
also
ran
into
her
at
St.
Mary's
Catholic
Church
in
Shelbina
each
week.
I
found
out
later
that
her
manager
kept
asking
her
about
“that
tall
boy
(and
eligible
bachelor)
from
Illinois
living
out
in
the
country
in
an
old
house
with
no
water,
no
electricity
and
no
housekeeper.”
Claudette
and
her
sister
soon
visited
my
farm
and
put
up
some
curtains.
To
show
my
appreciation,
I
took
Claudette
out
for
a
ride
in
my
2?ton
Studebaker
truck.
We
married
in
1954
and
have
now
been
together
for
more
than
62
years!
I
later
sold
the
Missouri
farm
for
a
$3,500
profit
and
bought
40
acres
in
Illinois.
For
many
reasons,
buying
the
Missouri
farm
was
a
good
idea.I
will
always
cherish
memories
of
owning
the
farm
and
meeting
my
beloved.
本文是一篇记叙文。作者在密苏里购买了一块地,在那儿从早忙到晚,精神上也得到了放松。最重要的是作者在那儿收获到爱情。作者将永远怀念拥有农场和遇见他心爱的人的往事。
21.When
the
author
bought
the
plot
of
land
in
Shelbina,
________.
A.it
was
well
equipped
B.he
was
unsatisfied
with
it
C.it
was
not
a
real
estate
D.he
worked
very
hard
on
it
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“My
days
were
filled
from
dawn
until
dusk
with
plowing
and
planting
corn.
Dinnertime
came
and
went,
and
I
barely
remembered
to
eat.”
我从天亮到黄昏,都在耕地和种玉米。吃饭的时间来了又去,我几乎不记得吃饭。根据句意可推断出作者忙于种地,非常辛苦。因此D符合题意。
答案:D
22.The

JOHANNESBURG—They
say
cats
have
nine
lives.
Now
a
Chinese
toad
(蟾蜍)
has
joined
that
club
of
clever
survivors.
South
Africans
are
shocked
at
the
endurance
of
a
toad
that
got
trapped
in
a
cargo
shipment
from
China
to
Cape
Town,
after
jumping
into
a
porcelain
candlestick
(烛台)
that
was
made
there.
South
African
officials
reportedly
planned
to
put
down
the
creature,
fearing
it
would
cause
harm
as
an
invasive
species
if
it
were
let
go
in
the
wild.
But
the
toad
got
a
last?minute
pardon.
Mango
Airlines,
a
South
African
airline,
transported
the
toad
on
Friday
to
Johannesburg
for
delivery
to
an
animal
shelter,
after
officials
decided
to
find
a
way
to
let
the
toad
live.
The
two?hour
flight
was
a
breeze
compared
to
the
trip
from
China,
a
long
way
of
many
weeks
and
thousands
of
kilometers
across
the
Indian
Ocean.
Airline
spokesman
Hein
Kaiser
said
the
toad
got
“first?class
treatment”,
sitting
in
a
transparent
plastic
container
with
escort
Brett
Glasby,
an
animal
welfare
inspector.
There
was
even
a
ceremony,
in
which
the
toad's
boarding
pass
was
handed
to
Glasby.
“He
was
the
star
of
the
show
on
the
flight,”
Kaiser
said
of
the
amphibious
(两栖的)
passenger.
“I
think
every
passenger
stopped
to
have
a
look.”
On
landing
in
Johannesburg,
the
toad
was
brought
out
of
its
container
for
a
celebrity?style
photo
shoot.
Observers
said
the
brown
toad
seemed
like
a
cool
customer.
It
belongs
to
the
Asian
Toad
species,
which
breeds
during
the
monsoon
(季风)
season.
It
is
believed
to
have
survived
the
trip
from
China
by
hardening
its
skin
to
prevent
it
from
drying
out,
and
also
by
slowing
its
breathing
and
heart
rate—methods
that
help
the
species
survive
in
times
of
drought.
“We've
had
snakes
in
imported
timber
and
scorpions
(蝎子)
in
fruit.
We
were
called
because
the
toad
was
right
inside
the
candlestick,
and
we
had
to
break
it
to
get
it
out,”
Glasby,
the
inspector,
told
The
Star,
a
South
African
newspaper.
本文讲的是一只亚洲蟾蜍随船到了南非,并在南非有了新家。

A.Asian
toads
can't
get
used
to
the
life

答案:A
C
Bacteria
are
an
annoying
problem
for
astronauts.
The
microorganisms
(微生物)
from
our
bodies
grow
uncontrollably
on
surfaces
of
the
International
Space
Station,
so
astronauts
spend
hours
cleaning
them
up
each
week.
How
is
NASA
overcoming
this
very
tiny
big
problem?
It's
turning
to
a
bunch
of
high
school
kids.
But
not
just
any
kids.
It
is
depending
on
NASA
HUNCH
high
school
class,
like
the
one
science
teachers
Gene
Gordon
and
Donna
Himmelberg
lead
at
Fairport
High
School
in
Fairport,
New
York.
HUNCH
is
designed
to
connect
high
school
classrooms
with
NASA
engineers.
For
the
past
two
years,
Gordon's
students
have
been
studying
ways
to
kill
bacteria
in
zero
gravity,
and
they
think
they're
close
to
a
solution
(解决方案).
“We
don't
give
the
students
any
breaks.
They
have
to
do
it
just
like
NASA
engineers,”
says
Florence
Gold,
a
project
manager.
“There
are
no
tests,”
Gordon
says.
“There
is
no
graded
homework.
There
almost
are
no
grades,
other
than‘Are
you
working
towards
your
goal?’Basically,
it's
‘I've
got
to
produce
this
product
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
present
it
to
NASA.'
Engineers
come
and
really
do
an
in?person
review,
and...
It's
not
a
very
nice
thing
at
times.
It's
a
hard
business
review
of
your
product.”
Gordon
says
the
HUNCH
program
has
an
impact
(影响)
on
college
admissions
and
practical
life
skills.
“These
kids
are
so
absorbed
in
their
studies
that
I
just
sit
back.
I
don't
teach.”
And
that
annoying
bacteria?
Gordon
says
his
students
are
emailing
daily
with
NASA
engineers
about
the
problem,
readying
a
workable
solution
to
test
in
space.
本文为说明文。本文介绍了HUNCH项目通过Gordon的学生开发如何杀死空间站的细菌这一技术,把空间技术与学校教育相结合,从而提升学生的实际生活技能并最终影响到大学入学。
28.What
do
we
know
about
the
bacteria
in
the
International
Space
Station?
A.They
are
hard
to
get
rid
of.
B.They
lead
to
air
pollution.
C.They
appear
in
different
forms.
D.They
damage
the
instruments.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Bacteria

grow
uncontrollably
on
surfaces
of
the

microorganisms”指的就是“bacteria”。由此可知,
A项符合题意。
答案:A
29.What
is
the
purpose
of
the
HUNCH
program?
A.To
strengthen
teacher?student
relationships.
B.To
sharpen
students'
communication
skills.
C.To
allow
students
to
experience

A
dilemma
for
a
children's
party,
perhaps.
But
also
a
question
for
economists,
argued
Kenneth
Boulding,
a
British
economist,
in
an
essay
published
in
1966.
We
have
run
our
economies,
he
warned,
like
cowboys
on
the
open
grassland:
taking
and
using
the
world's
resources,
confident
that
more
lies
over
the
horizon.
But
the
Earth
is
less
a
grassland
than
a
spaceship—a
closed
system,
alone
in
space,
carrying
limited
supplies.
We
need,
said
Boulding,
an
economics
that
takes
seriously
the
idea
of
environmental
limits.
In
the
half
century
since
his
essay,
a
new
movement
has
responded
to
his
challenge.
“Ecological
economists”,
as
they
call
themselves,
want
to
revolutionize
its
aims
and
assumptions.
What
do
they
say—and
will
their
ideas
achieve
lift?off?
To
its
advocators,
ecological
economics
is
neither
ecology
nor
economics,
but
a
mix
of
both.
Their
starting
point
is
to
recognise
that
the
human
economy
is
part
of
the
natural
world.
Our
environment,
they
note,
is
both
a
source
of
resources
and
a
sink
for
wastes.
But
it
is
ignored
in
conventional
textbooks,
where
neat
diagrams
trace
the
flows
between
firms,
households
and
the
government
as
though
nature
did
not
exist.
That
is
a
mistake,
say
ecological
economists.
There
are
two
ways
our
economies
can
grow,
ecological
economists
point
out:
through
technological
change,
or
through
more
intensive
use
of
resources.
Only
the
former,
they
say,
is
worth
having.
They
are
suspicious
of
GDP,
a
crude
measure
which
does
not
take
account
of
resource
exhaustion,
unpaid
work,
and
countless
other
factors.
In
its
place
they
advocate
moreholistic
(全面的)
approaches,
such
as
the
Genuine
Progress
Indicator
(GPI),
a
composite
index
(复合指标)
that
includes
things
like
the
cost
of
pollution,
deforestation
and
car
accidents.
While
GDP
has
kept
growing,
global
GPI
per
person
peaked
in
1978:
by
destroying
our
environment
we
are
making
ourselves
poorer,
not
richer.
The
solution,
says
Herman
Daly,
a
former
World
Bank
economist
and
eco?guru,
is
a
“steady?state”
economy,
where
the
use
of
materials
and
energy
is
held
constant.
Mainstream
economists
are
unimpressed.
The
GPI,
they
point
out,
is
a
subjective
measure.
And
talk
of
limits
to
growth
has
had
a
bad
press
since
the
days
of
Thomas
Malthus,
a
gloomy
18th
century
cleric
who
predicted,
wrongly,
that
overpopulation
would
lead
to
famine.
Human
beings
find
solutions
to
some
of
the
most
annoying
problems.
But
ecological
economists
warn
against
self?satisfaction.
In
2009
a
paper
in
Nature,
a
scientific
journal,
argued
that
human
activity
is
already
overstepping
safe
planetary
boundaries
on
issues
such
as
biodiversity(生物多样性)
and
climate
change.
That
suggests
that
ecological
economists
are
at
least
asking
some
important
questions,
even
if
their
answers
turn
out
to
be
wrong.
本文是一篇议论文。介绍了生态经济的概念,它是生态学和经济学的混合体。我们在发展经济的同时不能忽视自然,经济的增长与生态自然是息息相关的。

本文为说明文。作者介绍了带孩子旅行,为了让孩子们远离屏幕,提供了四种建议。
36.D 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段小标题后的内容“Give
the
kids
a
map
and
a
highlighter,”(给孩子一个地图和荧光笔)和最后一句“make
postcards
to
send
to
friends
and
family.”(制作明信片送给朋友和家人)。可知,是要写东西及制作明信片,由此可推断出是应带着用于书写的材料,分析七个选项可知选D。
37.E 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据第二个小标题“Try
a
game”中的第二段中的空前记忆游戏。及本空后的游戏“Beginning
with
A,
the
first
letter
of
each
new
item
must
start
with
the
next
letter
of
the
alphabet”
从A开始,每个新项目的第一个字母必须从字母表的下一个字母开始。也就是从字母A开始,一个接一个地增加新的项目(new
item)可知与E.
Players
take
turns
adding
a
new
item
to
the
list(玩家轮流在列表中添加一个新的项目)一致,因此选E。
38.F 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本空前主要讲述另一种游戏“Back
seat
bingo”,以上的三种游戏结束后,根据常识可知要判断出谁是获胜者,最好对获胜者进行一点点的小奖励。因此通过对选项的分析可知F项给获胜者小奖品以示激励符合语境。故选F
。
39.G 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据小标题“Pack
plenty
of
snacks”下面的一段中要尽量多带些健康的小零食,少带点不健康的零食。及空后的内容:甜点心提供了所有重要的讨价还价工具来防止后座争斗,并避免了不断地提问:“我们到了吗?”也就是说甜点可分散孩子们把注意力放在这些问题上。根据对选项的分析,可知G符合题意。
40.B 解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本空后的内容:孩子们模仿他们在家里、街上、农场或动物园里听到的声音。20分钟后,你可能想尝试安静的比赛看谁能最安静且保持最长的得奖。本段主要是进行有关声音的比赛。通过分析选项,可知B选项中有本文中的单词复现,如contest,noise与sound是同义词复现。B项意思为进行一场声音比赛。故B符合题意。
第三部分:语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
With
the
sudden
urge
for
social
engagements
in
the
modern
world,
many
events
and
activities
are
being
promoted
to
attract
teens
and
adults.
While
adults
feel
out
of
place
in
a
space
filled
with
younger
aged
teens,
teens
often
find
themselves
having
to
__41__
between
two
extremes
being
presented
by
society:
either
teens
decide
to
attend
these
events
and
are
heavily
pressured
to
“take
just
one
sip”,
or
__42__
the
popular
act
of
drinking.
The
legal
drinking
age
is
currently
eighteen,
but
the
illegal
drinking
age
is
as
low
as
zero.
Most
people
have
their
first
drink
by
the
time
they're
13.
Unbelievably,
that
first
drink
can
be
the
__43__
of
a
troubled
life.
A
few
reasons
for
teens
drinking
are
peer
pressure,
enjoyment,
__44__,
sadness,
boredom,
rebellion
and
insomnia.
But
the
main
reason
for
doing
so
is
“to
__45__
the
law.”
Teenagers
become
__46__
with
alcoholic
beverages
from
the
moment
they
enter
high
school.
That
means
that
a
large
quantity
of
teens
under
the
age
of
eighteen
have
used
alcohol
before.
Teens
feel
as
though
drinking
before
the
legal
age
is
a
big
deal,
so
they
all
try
to
__47__
the
rest
of
the
“legal
”society.
Being
a
__48__
and
not
following
the
rules
is
an
important
role
of
a
teen's
life,
though
no
one
wants
to
face
the
consequences
of
being
an
adult.
Despite
the
fact
that
it
is
illegal
for
young
teens
to
purchase
alcohol,
they
are
able
to
get
it
through
their
parents'
liquor
cabinets,
__49__
store
clerks,
or
older
friends
who
purchase
it
for
them.
As
we
all
see,
it
is
not
hard
for
teens
to
obtain
alcohol.
Since
there
seems
to
be
no
__50__
of
under
age
teen
drinking
in
society,
why
then
not
just
lower
then
drinking
age?
Drinking
can
make
teens
“feel
good”,
but
this
feeling
lasts
only
for
a
short
time.
Teenagers
on
shows
like
Gossip
Girl
get
drunk
regularly,
but
those
shows
rarely
__51__
the
problems
alcohol
can
cause.
Teenagers
often
think
that
drinking
will
give
them
more
energy,
but
__52__
isn't
an
energy
drink;
it's
a
depressant.
Alcohol
__53__
damages
the
brain
and
body,
and
for
this
to
happen
at
a
very
young
age,
is
saddening.
Drinking
stimulates
poorly
made
decisions
by
teens,
and
__54__,
many
teens
end
up
pregnant
or
dropping
out
of
school.
They
may
even
get
hurt
or
__55__
in
severe
accidents
caused
by
their
being
drunk.

A
new,
first?of?its?kind
study
examines
the
connection
between
teacher
burnout
and
students'
stress
levels.
Researchers
from
the
University
of
British
Columbia
collected
saliva
(唾液)
samples
from
over
400
elementary
school
children,
grades
four
to
seven,
at
17
public
schools.
Cortisol
(皮质醇)
levels
were
then
assessed
from
the
samples
as
the
hormone
is
commonly
used
as
a
biological
indicator
of
stress.
Correspondingly,
teacher
burnout
was
determined
through
survey
results.
Investigators
found
that
in
classrooms
in
which
teachers
experienced
more
burnout,
or
feelings
of
emotional
exhaustion,
students'
cortisol
levels
were
elevated
(提升).
Higher
cortisol
levels
in
elementary
school
children
have
been
linked
to
learning
difficulties
as
well
as
mental
health
problems.
The
study
appears
in
the
journal
Social
Science
&
Medicine.
“This
suggests
that
stress
contagion
(蔓延)
might
be
taking
place
in
the
classroom
among
students
and
their
teachers,”
said
Eva
Oberle,
Ph.D.,
the
study's
lead
author.
Indeed,
the
relationship
between
student
stress
and
teacher
burnout
is
a
chicken
and
egg
question.
“It
is
unknown
what
came
first,
elevated
cortisol
or
teacher
burnout.
We
consider
the
connection
between
student
and
teacher
stress
a
cyclical
problem
in
the
classroom.”
Oberle
said
a
stressful
classroom
climate
could
be
a
result
of
inadequate
support
for
teachers,
which
may
impact
teachers'
ability
to
effectively
manage
their
students.
A
poorly
managed
classroom
can
contribute
to
students'
needs
not
being
met
and
increasing
stress.
This
could
be
reflected
in
elevated
cortisol
levels
in
students.
Alternatively,
stress
could
originate
from
students,
who
may
be
more
challenging
to
teach
because
of
increases
in
anxiety,
behavioral
problems,
or
special
needs.
In
this
case,
teachers
could
feel
overwhelmed
and
report
higher
levels
of
burnout.
“Our
study
is
a
reminder
of
the
systemic
issues
facing
teachers
and
educators
as
classroom
sizes
increase
and
supports
for
teachers
are
cut,”
said
Oberle.
“It
is
clear
from
a
number
of
recent
research
studies
that
teaching
is
one
of
the
most
stressful
professions,
and
that
teachers
need
adequate
resources
and
support
in
their
jobs
in
order
to
battle
burnout
and
relieve
stress
in
the
classroom,”
said
University
of
British
Columbia
education
professor
Kimberly
Schonert
Reichl,
Ph.D.,
the
study's
co?author.
“If
we
do
not
support
teachers,
we
risk
the
damage
of
students.”
