It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes, the most peaceful place is the centre: the eye of the storm. But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.
It all started when Mr Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine-year-old daughter that he was cutting grass in their yard when a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the storm. The photo, which has been shared widely on social media, is a masterclass in calmness.
In it, the sockless Mr Wessels, dressed casually in summer shorts and sunglasses, is seen never being upset by the disastrous column of cloud. “I took the picture just to show my mum and dad in South Africa, ‘Look, there’s a tornado,’ and now everyone is like, Why is your husband cutting the grass?” Cecilia told the Times Colonist.
When asked later about the tornado’s approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, “I was keeping an eye
on it,” seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect. “Alberta, Canada,” wrote one admiring Twitter user, “where men face the elements and do what needs to be done.” A writer for Esquire magazine struck a pensive note: “I can understand Theunis,” Peter Wade admitted, “sometimes when the world is raging outside, the only thing you can do is keep your small area of it.”
How is Paragraph one developed?
A. By listing theories. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.
Why did Cecilia take the photo?
A. To post it on social media. B. To record her husband’s heroic act.
C. To inform her parents of the tornado. D. To prove what is the most peaceful place.
Which may make Mr. Wessels respected?
A. His way of gardening. B. His calmness in the face of a tornado.
C. His bravery in fighting the tornado. D. His rich knowledge about tornado.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A man ignored a tornado in Canada. B. There are some features of tornado in Canada.
C. A man survived surprisingly from a tornado. D. A picture caused heated discussions.
C
Do you remember the last time you received a postcard? The UK’s family-owned oldest postcard firm, which has been publishing postcards and calendars since 1880, will close this December. The reason? It says instead of penning a card, people are putting photos up on Facebook or Instagram or using WhatsApp to show friends and family at home just how much fun they’re having.
If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle ( 麻 烦 ) of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp from, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you. That’s the value of the postcard. But that time has gone.
Brothers Charles and Harry Salmon, the fifth generation of the family to run the firm, said the popularity of social media had had a huge impact on the business. People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.
“Increasingly challenging trading conditions and changes to the nature and size of the market for its publications have resulted in uncertainty over the future of its trade,’’ the brothers wrote in a letter to suppliers and newsagents.
As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago. But the firm said that as well as the drop in the number of postcards sent, “we have also had to
consider that there are no more members of the family who wish to join the business.”
What’s the value of sending a postcard?
A. It’s a symbol of sympathy. B. It’s a journey of love.
C. It’s an act of patience. D. It’s a way of passing time.
What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. likely to exist. B. worthy of praise.
C. short of money. D. possible to change.
What is the best title of the text?
UK’s oldest postcard firm set to close.
Postcard industry booming in the future.
UK’s postcard firm through a tough time.
Postcard industry needing support to survive.
Where does this text probably come from?
A. A book review. B. A business column.
C. A hi-tech advertisement. D. A finance report. D
Paralympian Anastasia Pagonis’ remarkable success story began when she lost her vision at age
14. Granted, it’s a tough age for any teen, but dealing with a life-changing disability made things even more challenging.
“It took me about eight months to regroup myself,” she told TODAY, “and then I got it in my head, ‘Okay, I’m blind. Now what am I going to do with my life?”
A Long Island native, Pagonis practically grew up in the water. She’d taken up competitive freestyle swimming just a few months prior to going totally blind. While she excelled at the sport with limited vision, an “abusive team” atmosphere prompted her to quit competition.
After months of therapy, however, the persistent teen was ready to get back in the swim-only swimming wasn’t enough for Pagonis. She wanted to compete.
Now she was faced with another dilemma. “Nobody wanted to train the blind girl,” she recalled in an interview with TEAM USA. “I ended up after about eight months finding an amazing coach who was willing to train me and actually put on blackout goggles to try to figure out a way for me to swim.”
By the age of 16, Pagonis was earning a reputation as a fierce competitor, taking two gold medals at the World Para Swimming World Series in Australia. When Pagonis realized her experiences and positive outlook might be a boon(益处) to others, she eagerly stepped up as a role model. “I want to help people the way I needed help,” Pagonis told TEAM USA. “I started doing Instagram and social media and was soon getting a bunch of replies saying, ‘Wow! You really helped me get through bad things,’ or, ‘I was getting bullied in school and you helped me get through that,’ or, ‘You let me know how much I was worth.’”
Back in the water, Pagonis was truly in her element. “It’s my happy place,” she told TODAY. “It’s the place where I feel like I don’t have a disability and I feel like that’s the only place where I feel
free. When I dive in the water, it’s just me in the pool and I feel such a connection with it. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith because if you don’t try, you don’t know. Always follow your dreams.”
What difficulty did Pagonis face after she quit competition?
A. She had to wear goggles. B. It was hard to find her a coach
C. Her skills weren’t useful in darkness. D. She couldn’t do the freestyle anymore.
It can be learnt from the passage that Pagonis .
A. stopped swimming for two years B. improved her vision by swimming
C. helped many people through difficulties D. devoted herself to fighting against bullies
What does the underlined phrase in her element mean?
A. In a very good mood B. Full of Confusion.
C. Confident of winning. D. Happy to be special.
What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Team spirit is vital for winning B. Role models make us who we are.
C. A good teacher is the key to success. D. Disability does not limit one’s success.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科全书), is the largest encyclopedia ever. An encyclopedia is a collection of informative articles about various things. Encyclopedias used to be printed as books.
36
“Wiki” is an Internet term that means “a website that can be edited by the public”. It comes from “wikiwiki”, a Hawaiian word for “quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created
Wikipedia in 2001. 37 It has about 6 million articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day, who want to find information about anything — science, math, languages, art, culture and company histories. There are articles on sports stars, too, and even long-forgotten soap operas from the 1970s.
38 Except for a small number of pages, anyone can edit articles and registered users can create their own articles. Editing is unpaid, although Wikipedia does employ a small staff. Wikipedia is freely available to anyone with an Internet connection. Its founders hoped that the model would make use of humanity’s collective knowledge.
39 Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem. Several studies have concluded that Wikipedia is as accurate as most print encyclopedias. Indeed, a 2005 report in the journal Nature found it to be only slightly less reliable than Encyclopedia Britannica.
Today Wikipedia faces many challenges. It does not rely on advertising. 40 Perhaps more importantly, the number of its volunteer editors is shrinking.
Despite these difficulties, Jimmy Wales says he will still stick to his dream. He has big plans for the future. He wants Wikipedia available in all of the world’s languages.
Most of its editors are volunteers.
Now, they are mostly found online.
Wikipedia employs an open editing model.
Instead, all of its funds come from donations.
It allows users to get information within seconds.
It is now the fifth-most visited website on the Internet.
However, some people doubt the accuracy of Wikipedia's content.

阅读理解详解
A
这是一篇应用文。文章对Ravenglass & Eskdale列车的车票购买方式、行程和车票价格等进行了详细说明。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Please note, in order to manage capacity (容量) and ensure the safety of our passengers and staff, all passengers are required to purchase a dated and limed ticket beforehand. ”（请注意，为了管理运力，并确保乘客和工作人员的安全，所有乘客必须预先购买有日期限制的车票。）可知，乘客应该注意必须提前订票。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Timetable A可知，这张时间表是指从RAVENGLASS到DALEGARTH的时间表，所以根据其中一组出发时间10:25和到达时间11:05可知，这两地间的火车行程为40分钟。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Fared表格可知，购买往返票时，一名成年人是?18，则两名需付?36，小宝宝是五岁以下的孩子，不需要付钱。所以两名成年人和一个宝宝的往返票应付?36。故选C。
B
【答案】
【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了一张加拿大男子Theunis Wessels平静注视龙卷风的照片在社交媒体上广为流传，堪称“冷静”的大师之作。文章主要解释了这张照片背后的事情经过，以及Wessels先生本人对此的看法。
4. D 推理判断题。根据第一段“It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes, the most peaceful place is the centre: the eye of the storm. But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.”可知人们一直认为，当遇到龙卷风时，最平静的地方是中心：风暴眼。但本周在加拿大阿尔伯塔省三山镇拍摄的一张照片表明，也许没有什么地方比在Theunis Wessels平静的内心更平静了。由此可推知，第一段是通过比较展开的。故选D。
5. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It all started when Mr Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine-year-old daughter that he was cutting grass in their yard when a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the storm. ”可知这一切都始于当时Wessels先生的妻子Cecilia，被9岁的女儿警告说爸爸他在院子里割草时，远处出现了猛烈的龙卷风。当她的丈夫拒绝进屋，说它正在远离他们时，Wessels夫人拍了一张照片给父母看风暴。由此可知，Cecilia拍这张照片是为了通知她的父母有龙卷风。故选C。
6. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When asked later about the tornado’s approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, ‘I was keeping an eye on it,’ seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect.”可知当被问及龙卷风将靠近他时的感受时，Wessels先生回答说：“我一直在关注着它。”他看上去就像他的园艺风格一样冷静，让人肃然起敬。由此可知，B选项“面对龙卷风，他表现得镇定自若” 可能会让Wessels先生受到尊重。故选B。
7. A 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.”可知但本周在加拿大阿尔伯塔省三山镇拍摄的一张照片表明，也许没有什么地方比在Theunis Wessels平静的内心更平静了。结合文章主要说明了一张加拿大男子Theunis Wessels平静注视龙卷风的照片在社交媒体上广为流传，堪称“冷静”的大师之作。解释了这张照片背后的事情经过，以及Wessels先生本人对此的看法。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是一名男子无视加拿大的龙卷风。故选A。
C
【答案】【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文，英国最古老的家族明信片公司将停止生产明信片，原因是社交媒体越来越发达，人们更倾向于在社交平台上分享生活。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle (麻烦) of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp from, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you.” (如果你收到某人从某个地方寄来的明信片，同样会想到他们经历了选择一张明信片，想办法从哪里买邮票，找到一个邮箱的麻烦，然后明信片一路来得你的身边。)可知，寄明信片的过程很麻烦，经历很长的旅程，因此推断体现了对方对你的爱，故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.” (人们也倾向于休更短的假期，这意味着他们很可能在寄明信片之前很久就到家了。因此，这种生意不再viable。)可知，人们的回家速度比明信片到达的速度更快，所以就不需要明信片了，可以推断这种生意不复存在，所以viable的意思是“存在”，故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago.”(结果他们宣布了一项退出出版业的提议。据报道，每年售出的明信片数量从25年前的2000万张急剧下降到大约500万张。）并结合全文内容可知，本文通过讲述英国最古老的家族明信片公司将停止生产明信片，介绍明信片行业发展前景不好，如果得不到扶持将无法生存。因此推断D项“明信片行业需要扶持才能生存。”为最佳标题，概况了文章的主旨。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要在描述英国一家明信片公司将停止生产明信片，和商业有关，所以可能来源于商业专栏。故选B项。
D
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了残奥会选手阿纳斯塔西娅·帕格尼丝14岁失明，但她身残志不残，最终通过不懈努力取得成功。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段““Nobody wanted to train the blind girl,” she recalled in an interview with TEAM USA.(“没人想训练这个盲女，”她在接受“美国队”采访时回忆说。)”可知，帕格尼丝退出比赛后面临着很难找到教练的困难。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段““I want to help people the way I needed help,”Pagonis told TEAM USA. “I started doing Instagram and social media and was soon getting a bunch of replies saying, ‘Wow! You really helped me get through bad things,’ or, ‘I was getting bullied in school and you helped me get through that,’ or, ‘You let me know how much I was worth. (“我想用我需要的方式帮助别人，”帕格尼丝告诉“美国队”。“我开始刷Instagram和社交媒体，很快就收到了很多回复，‘哇!你真的帮我度过了一些不好的事情，’或者‘我在学校被人欺负，是你帮我度过的’，或者‘你让我知道了我的价值’。)”可知，帕格尼丝帮助很多人度过难关。故选C。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段划线词后句““It’s my happy place,” she told TODAY. (“这是（让）我快乐的地方，”她告诉《今日》杂志。)”可知，帕格尼丝回到水利心情很好。由此推知，in her element为“心情愉悦”之意。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Paralympian Anastasia Pagonis’ remarkable success story began when she lost her vision at age 14.(残奥会选手阿纳斯塔西娅·帕格尼丝非凡的成功故事始于她14岁失明时。)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了残奥会选手阿纳斯塔西娅·帕格尼丝14岁失明，但她身残志不残，最终通过不懈努力取得成功，即文章告诉我们残疾并不会限制一个人的成功。故选D。
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了维基百科的相关内容。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Encyclopedias used to be printed as books.”可知百科全书以前是以书籍的形式印刷的。由此可知，本句是在说明百科全书目前的情况。B项中的代词they指代前一句中的Encyclopedias。故B选项“现在，他们大多在网上找到”符合上下文语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文““Wiki” is an internet term that means” a website that can be edited by the public. “It comes from “wikiwiki”，a Hawaiian word for “quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created Wikipedia in 2001.”可知“维基”是一个互联网术语，意思是“可以由公众编辑的网站”。它来自于夏威夷语“wikiwiki”，意思是“快”。两名美国人，Jimmy Wales和Larry Sanger在2001年创建了维基百科。以及后文“It has about 6 million articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day, who want to find information on just about anything-science, math, languages, art, culture and company histories.”可知它有300种语言的600万篇文章，每天有数十亿人访问它，他们想要找到关于任何东西的信息——科学、数学、语言、艺术、文化和公司历史。由此可知，上文介绍了维基百科名字的由来、创始人、以及所收藏的信息，本句承接上文继续围绕维基百科介绍。且后面句子里的主语it，与F选项中的it指代一致。故F选项“它现在是互联网上访问量第五大的网站”符合上下文语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
本句为段首语，根据下文“Except for a small number of pages, anyone can edit articles, anonymously or with a user account, and registered users can create their own articles.”可知除了少数网页外，任何人都可以以匿名的形式或使用用户名对文章进行自由编辑。由此可知，本段介绍的是维基百科的编辑模式。C选项“维基百科采用开放编辑模型”符合上下文语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
本句的位置在段首，引出一个新的话题。结合后文“Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem.”可知许多维基百科页面包含错误，尽管该组织有一个内容审查系统来修复这个问题。由此可知，本段介绍的维基百科所存在的问题，G选项中however是一个重要的衔接标志词，表明后面的内容与前面的信息相反。故G选项“然而，有些人怀疑维基百科内容的准确性”符合上下文语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“It does not rely on advertising.”可知它不以广告盈利。由此可知，本句是在说明维基百科的资金来源，D选项中instead作为一个重要的衔接标志词，使得该句与前句形成对比。故D选项“相反，它所有的资金都来自捐赠”符合上下文语境，故选D。

It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes, the most peaceful place is the centre: the eye of the storm. But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.
It all started when Mr Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine-year-old daughter that he was cutting grass in their yard when a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the storm. The photo, which has been shared widely on social media, is a masterclass in calmness.
In it, the sockless Mr Wessels, dressed casually in summer shorts and sunglasses, is seen never being upset by the disastrous column of cloud. “I took the picture just to show my mum and dad in South Africa, ‘Look, there’s a tornado,’ and now everyone is like, Why is your husband cutting the grass?” Cecilia told the Times Colonist.
When asked later about the tornado’s approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, “I was keeping an eye
on it,” seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect. “Alberta, Canada,” wrote one admiring Twitter user, “where men face the elements and do what needs to be done.” A writer for Esquire magazine struck a pensive note: “I can understand Theunis,” Peter Wade admitted, “sometimes when the world is raging outside, the only thing you can do is keep your small area of it.”
How is Paragraph one developed?
A. By listing theories. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.
Why did Cecilia take the photo?
A. To post it on social media. B. To record her husband’s heroic act.
C. To inform her parents of the tornado. D. To prove what is the most peaceful place.
Which may make Mr. Wessels respected?
A. His way of gardening. B. His calmness in the face of a tornado.
C. His bravery in fighting the tornado. D. His rich knowledge about tornado.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A man ignored a tornado in Canada. B. There are some features of tornado in Canada.
C. A man survived surprisingly from a tornado. D. A picture caused heated discussions.

Do you remember the last time you received a postcard? The UK’s family-owned oldest postcard firm, which has been publishing postcards and calendars since 1880, will close this December. The reason? It says instead of penning a card, people are putting photos up on Facebook or Instagram or using WhatsApp to show friends and family at home just how much fun they’re having.
If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle ( 麻 烦 ) of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp from, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you. That’s the value of the postcard. But that time has gone.
Brothers Charles and Harry Salmon, the fifth generation of the family to run the firm, said the popularity of social media had had a huge impact on the business. People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.
“Increasingly challenging trading conditions and changes to the nature and size of the market for its publications have resulted in uncertainty over the future of its trade,’’ the brothers wrote in a letter to suppliers and newsagents.
As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago. But the firm said that as well as the drop in the number of postcards sent, “we have also had to
consider that there are no more members of the family who wish to join the business.”
What’s the value of sending a postcard?
A. It’s a symbol of sympathy. B. It’s a journey of love.
C. It’s an act of patience. D. It’s a way of passing time.
What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. likely to exist. B. worthy of praise.
C. short of money. D. possible to change.
What is the best title of the text?
UK’s oldest postcard firm set to close.
Postcard industry booming in the future.
UK’s postcard firm through a tough time.
Postcard industry needing support to survive.
Where does this text probably come from?
A. A book review. B. A business column.
C. A hi-tech advertisement. D. A finance report. D

14. Granted, it’s a tough age for any teen, but dealing with a life-changing disability made things even more challenging.
“It took me about eight months to regroup myself,” she told TODAY, “and then I got it in my head, ‘Okay, I’m blind. Now what am I going to do with my life?”
A Long Island native, Pagonis practically grew up in the water. She’d taken up competitive freestyle swimming just a few months prior to going totally blind. While she excelled at the sport with limited vision, an “abusive team” atmosphere prompted her to quit competition.
After months of therapy, however, the persistent teen was ready to get back in the swim-only swimming wasn’t enough for Pagonis. She wanted to compete.
Now she was faced with another dilemma. “Nobody wanted to train the blind girl,” she recalled in an interview with TEAM USA. “I ended up after about eight months finding an amazing coach who was willing to train me and actually put on blackout goggles to try to figure out a way for me to swim.”
By the age of 16, Pagonis was earning a reputation as a fierce competitor, taking two gold medals at the World Para Swimming World Series in Australia. When Pagonis realized her experiences and positive outlook might be a boon(益处) to others, she eagerly stepped up as a role model. “I want to help people the way I needed help,” Pagonis told TEAM USA. “I started doing Instagram and social media and was soon getting a bunch of replies saying, ‘Wow! You really helped me get through bad things,’ or, ‘I was getting bullied in school and you helped me get through that,’ or, ‘You let me know how much I was worth.’”
Back in the water, Pagonis was truly in her element. “It’s my happy place,” she told TODAY. “It’s the place where I feel like I don’t have a disability and I feel like that’s the only place where I feel
free. When I dive in the water, it’s just me in the pool and I feel such a connection with it. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith because if you don’t try, you don’t know. Always follow your dreams.”
What difficulty did Pagonis face after she quit competition?
A. She had to wear goggles. B. It was hard to find her a coach
C. Her skills weren’t useful in darkness. D. She couldn’t do the freestyle anymore.
It can be learnt from the passage that Pagonis .
A. stopped swimming for two years B. improved her vision by swimming
C. helped many people through difficulties D. devoted herself to fighting against bullies
What does the underlined phrase in her element mean?
A. In a very good mood B. Full of Confusion.
C. Confident of winning. D. Happy to be special.
What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Team spirit is vital for winning B. Role models make us who we are.
C. A good teacher is the key to success. D. Disability does not limit one’s success.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科全书), is the largest encyclopedia ever. An encyclopedia is a collection of informative articles about various things. Encyclopedias used to be printed as books.
36
“Wiki” is an Internet term that means “a website that can be edited by the public”. It comes from “wikiwiki”, a Hawaiian word for “quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created
Wikipedia in 2001. 37 It has about 6 million articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day, who want to find information about anything — science, math, languages, art, culture and company histories. There are articles on sports stars, too, and even long-forgotten soap operas from the 1970s.
38 Except for a small number of pages, anyone can edit articles and registered users can create their own articles. Editing is unpaid, although Wikipedia does employ a small staff. Wikipedia is freely available to anyone with an Internet connection. Its founders hoped that the model would make use of humanity’s collective knowledge.
39 Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem. Several studies have concluded that Wikipedia is as accurate as most print encyclopedias. Indeed, a 2005 report in the journal Nature found it to be only slightly less reliable than Encyclopedia Britannica.
Today Wikipedia faces many challenges. It does not rely on advertising. 40 Perhaps more importantly, the number of its volunteer editors is shrinking.
Despite these difficulties, Jimmy Wales says he will still stick to his dream. He has big plans for the future. He wants Wikipedia available in all of the world’s languages.
Most of its editors are volunteers.
Now, they are mostly found online.
Wikipedia employs an open editing model.
Instead, all of its funds come from donations.
It allows users to get information within seconds.
It is now the fifth-most visited website on the Internet.
However, some people doubt the accuracy of Wikipedia's content.

【2题详解】

【答案】
【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了一张加拿大男子Theunis Wessels平静注视龙卷风的照片在社交媒体上广为流传，堪称“冷静”的大师之作。文章主要解释了这张照片背后的事情经过，以及Wessels先生本人对此的看法。
4. D 推理判断题。根据第一段“It has always been thought that when it comes to tornadoes, the most peaceful place is the centre: the eye of the storm. But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.”可知人们一直认为，当遇到龙卷风时，最平静的地方是中心：风暴眼。但本周在加拿大阿尔伯塔省三山镇拍摄的一张照片表明，也许没有什么地方比在Theunis Wessels平静的内心更平静了。由此可推知，第一段是通过比较展开的。故选D。
5. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It all started when Mr Wessels’ wife, Cecilia, was warned by their nine-year-old daughter that he was cutting grass in their yard when a violent tornado appeared in the distance. When her husband refused to come inside, saying it was moving away from them, Mrs Wessels took a photo to show her parents the storm. ”可知这一切都始于当时Wessels先生的妻子Cecilia，被9岁的女儿警告说爸爸他在院子里割草时，远处出现了猛烈的龙卷风。当她的丈夫拒绝进屋，说它正在远离他们时，Wessels夫人拍了一张照片给父母看风暴。由此可知，Cecilia拍这张照片是为了通知她的父母有龙卷风。故选C。
6. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When asked later about the tornado’s approach to him, Mr Wessels responded, ‘I was keeping an eye on it,’ seeming as cool as his gardening style and attracting more than a little respect.”可知当被问及龙卷风将靠近他时的感受时，Wessels先生回答说：“我一直在关注着它。”他看上去就像他的园艺风格一样冷静，让人肃然起敬。由此可知，B选项“面对龙卷风，他表现得镇定自若” 可能会让Wessels先生受到尊重。故选B。
7. A 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But a photo taken this week in the small Canadian town of Three Hills, Alberta, suggests that there is perhaps no place more peaceful than inside the calm mind of Theunis Wessels.”可知但本周在加拿大阿尔伯塔省三山镇拍摄的一张照片表明，也许没有什么地方比在Theunis Wessels平静的内心更平静了。结合文章主要说明了一张加拿大男子Theunis Wessels平静注视龙卷风的照片在社交媒体上广为流传，堪称“冷静”的大师之作。解释了这张照片背后的事情经过，以及Wessels先生本人对此的看法。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是一名男子无视加拿大的龙卷风。故选A。
C
【答案】【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文，英国最古老的家族明信片公司将停止生产明信片，原因是社交媒体越来越发达，人们更倾向于在社交平台上分享生活。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle (麻烦) of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stamp from, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you.” (如果你收到某人从某个地方寄来的明信片，同样会想到他们经历了选择一张明信片，想办法从哪里买邮票，找到一个邮箱的麻烦，然后明信片一路来得你的身边。)可知，寄明信片的过程很麻烦，经历很长的旅程，因此推断体现了对方对你的爱，故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.” (人们也倾向于休更短的假期，这意味着他们很可能在寄明信片之前很久就到家了。因此，这种生意不再viable。)可知，人们的回家速度比明信片到达的速度更快，所以就不需要明信片了，可以推断这种生意不复存在，所以viable的意思是“存在”，故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago.”(结果他们宣布了一项退出出版业的提议。据报道，每年售出的明信片数量从25年前的2000万张急剧下降到大约500万张。）并结合全文内容可知，本文通过讲述英国最古老的家族明信片公司将停止生产明信片，介绍明信片行业发展前景不好，如果得不到扶持将无法生存。因此推断D项“明信片行业需要扶持才能生存。”为最佳标题，概况了文章的主旨。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要在描述英国一家明信片公司将停止生产明信片，和商业有关，所以可能来源于商业专栏。故选B项。
D

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段““Nobody wanted to train the blind girl,” she recalled in an interview with TEAM USA.(“没人想训练这个盲女，”她在接受“美国队”采访时回忆说。)”可知，帕格尼丝退出比赛后面临着很难找到教练的困难。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段““I want to help people the way I needed help,”Pagonis told TEAM USA. “I started doing Instagram and social media and was soon getting a bunch of replies saying, ‘Wow! You really helped me get through bad things,’ or, ‘I was getting bullied in school and you helped me get through that,’ or, ‘You let me know how much I was worth. (“我想用我需要的方式帮助别人，”帕格尼丝告诉“美国队”。“我开始刷Instagram和社交媒体，很快就收到了很多回复，‘哇!你真的帮我度过了一些不好的事情，’或者‘我在学校被人欺负，是你帮我度过的’，或者‘你让我知道了我的价值’。)”可知，帕格尼丝帮助很多人度过难关。故选C。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段划线词后句““It’s my happy place,” she told TODAY. (“这是（让）我快乐的地方，”她告诉《今日》杂志。)”可知，帕格尼丝回到水利心情很好。由此推知，in her element为“心情愉悦”之意。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Paralympian Anastasia Pagonis’ remarkable success story began when she lost her vision at age 14.(残奥会选手阿纳斯塔西娅·帕格尼丝非凡的成功故事始于她14岁失明时。)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了残奥会选手阿纳斯塔西娅·帕格尼丝14岁失明，但她身残志不残，最终通过不懈努力取得成功，即文章告诉我们残疾并不会限制一个人的成功。故选D。
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了维基百科的相关内容。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Encyclopedias used to be printed as books.”可知百科全书以前是以书籍的形式印刷的。由此可知，本句是在说明百科全书目前的情况。B项中的代词they指代前一句中的Encyclopedias。故B选项“现在，他们大多在网上找到”符合上下文语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文““Wiki” is an internet term that means” a website that can be edited by the public. “It comes from “wikiwiki”，a Hawaiian word for “quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created Wikipedia in 2001.”可知“维基”是一个互联网术语，意思是“可以由公众编辑的网站”。它来自于夏威夷语“wikiwiki”，意思是“快”。两名美国人，Jimmy Wales和Larry Sanger在2001年创建了维基百科。以及后文“It has about 6 million articles in 300 languages and is visited by billions of people each day, who want to find information on just about anything-science, math, languages, art, culture and company histories.”可知它有300种语言的600万篇文章，每天有数十亿人访问它，他们想要找到关于任何东西的信息——科学、数学、语言、艺术、文化和公司历史。由此可知，上文介绍了维基百科名字的由来、创始人、以及所收藏的信息，本句承接上文继续围绕维基百科介绍。且后面句子里的主语it，与F选项中的it指代一致。故F选项“它现在是互联网上访问量第五大的网站”符合上下文语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
本句为段首语，根据下文“Except for a small number of pages, anyone can edit articles, anonymously or with a user account, and registered users can create their own articles.”可知除了少数网页外，任何人都可以以匿名的形式或使用用户名对文章进行自由编辑。由此可知，本段介绍的是维基百科的编辑模式。C选项“维基百科采用开放编辑模型”符合上下文语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
本句的位置在段首，引出一个新的话题。结合后文“Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem.”可知许多维基百科页面包含错误，尽管该组织有一个内容审查系统来修复这个问题。由此可知，本段介绍的维基百科所存在的问题，G选项中however是一个重要的衔接标志词，表明后面的内容与前面的信息相反。故G选项“然而，有些人怀疑维基百科内容的准确性”符合上下文语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“It does not rely on advertising.”可知它不以广告盈利。由此可知，本句是在说明维基百科的资金来源，D选项中instead作为一个重要的衔接标志词，使得该句与前句形成对比。故D选项“相反，它所有的资金都来自捐赠”符合上下文语境，故选D。
