Rome can be pricey for travelers，which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社)．The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night，and for that，you&39;ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.

Yellow Hostel

If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome，it would be Yellow Hostel.It&39;s one of the bestrated hostels in the city，and for good reason.It&39;s affordable，and it&39;s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy.As an added bonus，it&39;s close to the main train station.

Hostel Alessandro Palace

If you love social hostels，this is the best hostel for you in Rome.Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun.Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests，like free shots，bar crawls and karaoke.There&39;s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.

Youth Station Hostel

If you&39;re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel，look no further than Youth Station.It offers beautiful furnishings and beds.There are plenty of other benefits，too；it doesn&39;t charge city tax；it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms；it also has free WiFi in every room.

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10minute walk from the central city station and it&39;s close to all of the city&39;s main attractions.The staff is friendly and helpful，providing you with a map of the city when you arrive，and offering advice if you require some.However，you need to pay 2 euros a day for WiFi.

22．Which hotel best suits people who enjoy an active social life?

B．Hostel Alessandro Palace.

C．Youth Station Hostel.

D．Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.

B　细节理解题。根据Hostel Alessandro Palace部分的第一句“If you love social hostels，this is the best hostel for you in Rome.”可知，Hostel Alessandro Palace这个旅社最适合喜欢活跃的社交生活的人。故选B项。

23．What is the disadvantage of Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes?

A．It gets noisy at night.

B．Its staff is too talkative.

C．It charges for WiFi.

D．It&39;s inconveniently located.

C　推理判断题。根据题干中的Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes可查找到文章的最后一部分，根据最后一句“However，you need to pay 2 euros a day for WiFi.”可推知，Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes的缺点是要额外付WiFi的费用。故选C项。

By day，Robert Titterton is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.“I&39;m not a trained musician，but I&39;ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group&39;s official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn&39;t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don&39;t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.

Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns，including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key，and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.

But like all performances，there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page，but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand，” Mr Titterton said，“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”

Most page turners are piano students or upandcoming concert pianists，although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.

“My husband is the worst page turner，” she laughed.“He&39;s interested in the music，feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn！’ Robert is the best page turner I&39;ve had in my entire life.”

【语篇导读】　本文主要讲述了律师Robert Titterton在业余时间做钢琴师Maria Raspopova的乐谱翻页者的经历。

24．What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?

A．Read music. B．Play the piano.

C．Sing songs. D．Fix the instruments.

A　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“I&39;m not a trained musician，but I&39;ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”可知，想做钢琴师的乐谱翻页者需要识谱。故选A项。

25．Which of the following best describes Titterton&39;s job on stage?

A．Boring. B．Wellpaid.

C．Demanding. D．Dangerous.

C　推理判断题。根据第三段中“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you don&39;t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.”可推知，乐谱翻页者的工作需要很多技巧，要求很高。故选C项。

26．What does Titterton need to practise?

A．Counting the pages.

B．Recognizing the “nodding”．

C．Catching falling objects.

D．Performing in his own style.

B　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Silent onstage communication is key，and each pianist has their own style of ‘nodding’ to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.”可知，无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有他们自己的“点头”风格来暗示需要翻页，他们需要同他们的翻页者一起练习。所以Titterton需要练习及时识别钢琴师的点头翻页示意。故选B项。

27．Why is Ms Raspopova&39;s husband “the worse page turner”？

A．He has very poor eyesight.

B．He ignores the audience.

C．He has no interest in music.

D．He forgets to do his job.

D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“He&39;s interested in the music，feeling every note，and I have to say：‘Turn，turn! ’”可知，她的丈夫太专注于音乐了，还需要她去提醒翻页，所以推断出他总是忘记自己的翻页工作。故选D项。

C

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America，the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.Unfortunately，it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen.Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the everincreasing populations，greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地)．

In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act)，an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.Under this Act，all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J．N.“Ding” Darling，a political cartoonist from Des Moines，Iowa，who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.

About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come.Since 1934，better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.

【语篇导读】　本文主要介绍了美国的联邦鸭票计划的由来和它的意义。该计划启动于1934年，其收入用来保护美国数百万英亩沼泽湿地中的水禽，并要求所有年满16岁的水禽狩猎者必须购买美国鸭票。

28．What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?

A．Loss of wetlands.

B．Popularity of water sports.

C．Pollution of rivers.

D．Arrival of other wild animals.

A　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the everincreasing populations，greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地)．”可知，数百万英亩的湿地的流失导致了水禽数量不断减少。故选A项。

29．What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?

A．Acquire. B．Export.

C．Destroy. D．Distribute.

C　词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句的上文可知，探险家们第一次踏上北美大陆时，北美洲有着多种多样的野生动物。由画线单词所在的句子“Unfortunately，it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.”可知，此处讲述的是不幸的事情，并与上文存在转折关系。故此处表达的是，这些探险者和定居者只用了几十年的时间就摧毁了这些资源的大部分。分析选项可知，decimate与destroy的含义相近。故选C项。

30．What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?

A．The stamp price has gone down.

B．The migratory birds have flown away.

C．The hunters have stopped hunting.

D．The government has collected money.

D　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat ...”可推知，1934年颁布的法案的直接结果是政府筹集到了保护野生动物的资金。故选D项。

31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．The Federal Duck Stamp Story

B．The National Wildlife Refuge System

C．The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl

D．The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了美国联邦的鸭票计划的由来和它的意义。所以本文是围绕The Federal Duck Stamp来展开文章的内容，故最佳标题应为A项The Federal Duck Stamp Story(联邦鸭票的故事)。

D

Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence.Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person&39;s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test，such as character，motivation，confidence，mental stability，optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities，but most of them move far beyond skillbased emotional intelligence.

We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients，while a cheater might use it to control potential victims.Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.

Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support，the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers，educators and others interested in promoting social wellbeing.The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers reevaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.

Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable，we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.It is our hope that in coming decades，advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives.Emotional intelligence，with its focus on both head and heart，may serve to point us in the right direction.

【语篇导读】　情商这一概念的普及改变了它原本在人们心中的定义，许多人都误认为情商包含一个人的性格、动力、信心、心理稳定性、乐观主义和“为人处事能力”等几乎除了智商外的一切合意的天性。研究表明，情感技能可能有助于培养部分这类品质，但其中大部分品质远不止基于情商。本文主要介绍了情商普及的意义和对未来情商研究的希望。

32．What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?

A．It can be measured by an IQ test.

B．It helps to exercise a person&39;s mind.

C．It includes a set of emotional skills.

D．It refers to a person&39;s positive qualities.

D　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person&39;s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test，such as character，motivation，confidence，mental stability，optimism and‘people skills.’”可知，许多人将情商误解为一个人的性格、动力、信心、心理稳定性、乐观主义和“为人处事能力”等几乎一切无法通过智商测试衡量的合意的天性。此句中的everything desirable与D项中的positive qualities是同义转换。故选D项。

33．Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?

A．To explain a rule.

B．To clarify a concept.

C．To present a fact.

D．To make a prediction.

B　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes.”可知，作者提到医生和骗子的目的是阐明情商这一概念——它是一套特定的技能，可被用在做好事上，也能被用于不好的目的。故选B项。

34．What is the author&39;s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?

A．Favorable. B．Intolerant.

C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.

A　观点态度题。根据第三段第一句“Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support，the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful.”可知，作者认为，尽管关于情商的流行观点远远超过了研究所能合理支持的范畴，但普及的总体效果一直是利大于弊的。由此可推知，作者支持情商的普及。故选A项。

35．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?

A．Its appeal to the public.

B．Expectations for future studies.

C．Its practical application.

D．Scientists with new perspectives.

B　主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句中的“ ...we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion.”可知，本段主要谈论了对未来情商研究方向的期望。故选B项。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 36 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixthfloor apartment the size of a cupboard.It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.

The place wasn&39;t entirely authentic，though.Unlike a normal Parisian apartment，the plumbing (水管) worked. 37 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes，” in perfect French.That is the only French phrase I mastered，and it&39;s a shame I don&39;t have much use for it.

Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago，they eat great food and never gain weight. 38 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead，they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.

39 On our first morning in Paris，I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries.I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten.But they cost $18!

In France，quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率)．You can tell this by café life.French cafés are always crowded. 40 When do these people work？The French take their 35hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.

A．Not all the customers are tourists.

B．The quality of life in France is equally excellent.

C．There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.

D．The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.

E．That&39;s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.

F．Our aim was to see if we could live，in some way，like real Parisians.

G．The food is so delicious that you don&39;t need much of it to make you happy.

【语篇导读】　本文讲述了作者和丈夫在巴黎一周的生活情况，以及对巴黎人生活风貌的所见所感。

36．F　根据空后的“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixthfloor apartment the size of a cupboard.”可知，作者在巴黎做的第一件事就是租了一间位于六楼的小公寓。据此可以判断，空处应说明作者这样做的目的，即看自己是否能像一个巴黎人一样生活。故F项正确。

37．C　根据空处上句“Unlike a normal Parisian apartment，the plumbing (水管) worked.”可知，与普通的巴黎公寓不同，这个公寓的管道畅通。据此可以判断，空处应描述作者所租赁的公寓的情况。空后的“Our building even had a tiny lift ...”也印证了这一点。故C项正确。

38．G　根据上文“As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago，they eat great food and never gain weight.”和下文的描述可知，空处承上启下，既要说明法国人吃得少的原因，又要和下文提到的美味的法国草莓有逻辑上的衔接。分析选项可知，G项与上句构成解释说明关系，与下句构成举例关系，故G项为正确答案。

39．E　根据空处所在的位置可知，该空很可能是本段的主旨句。分析空后内容可知，该段主要讲述的是法国人吃得少的另一个原因，即水果价格昂贵。分析选项可知，E项符合该处语境，且该项中的that指代上文论述过的原因，故为正确答案。

40．A　根据空处上句可知，法国的咖啡店里经常挤满了顾客。由空后两句的内容可知，空后一句中的these people指的是一些法国人，再结合该段的主题——法国人相较于效率更在意生活品质可知，空处应是说咖啡店里的顾客并不全是游客，里面有法国当地人。故A项为正确答案。

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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Dad 53 ．The son of a grocer，he&39;d spent the summers of his childhood 54 food in Bernardsville，New Jersey.This was the sort of work that made you 55 the dollars you earned and respect those who did the work，he told me.

【语篇导读】　本文讲述了中学时“我”在烘焙工厂工作的经历。第一次成为纳税人的“我”体会到这份工作的压力比“我”想象中的要大，父亲说这样的工作会让“我”懂得要珍惜挣到的每一分钱并尊重从事劳动工作的人。

41．C　考查动词。根据上文的“I worked in a baking factory.”可知，烘焙工厂自然应该“制作”蛋糕。C项意为“制作”。故C项正确。

42．A　考查名词。根据本句的逻辑关系来理解，its的逻辑主语Hough Bakeries是一家烘焙工厂的名字，根据常识可知，烘焙工厂要向它的门店供货。A项意为“商店”，故A项正确。

43．D　考查形容词。根据该句中的“during our spring break”可知，这家烘焙工厂需要的只是假期临时工。D项意为“临时的”，故D项正确。

44．A　考查名词。根据空前的for which可知，which指代的应该是our spring break。所以空处所在句是说春假期间“我”除了听“我”最喜欢的唱片外没有别的“计划”。故A项正确。

45．B　考查动词。根据第一段可知，“我”最终在这家烘焙工厂工作了。结合该句中的minimum wage可知，“我”会挣最低的工资。故B项正确。

46．A　考查动词。下文一系列的描写性语言如“Place cakes on a moving belt ...”正是对一家工厂的日常运作情况的描写，故此处表示“我”会看到一家工厂是如何工作的。A项意为“工作”，故A项正确。

47．B　考查名词。根据该句中的“My parents thought all of this was a grand idea ...”可知，“我”的父母认为这是个好主意，于是“准许”了并给“我”朋友的父亲打了电话。B项意为“准许”，故B项正确。

48．C　考查名词。根据空处所在句中的“...in the factory were simple：Place cakes on a moving belt.”以及下文一系列对动作的描写可知，此处表示“我们”在工厂的角色很简单。C项意为“角色”，故C项正确。

49．D　考查动词。根据该段上文中的“Place cakes on a moving belt.”可知，此处表达的意思与其相呼应，表示把蛋糕从传送带上“取下来”。D项意为“移开，取走”，故D项正确。

50．A　考查形容词比较级。根据本段最后一句中的“...it was all a little more highpressure than ...”可以判断，工厂实际的工作强度比“我”想象中的大。由此可知，空处所在句是说工作要比听上去更难。A项意为“更困难的”，故A项正确。

51．B　考查动词短语。根据该句中的a bit and the cakes pile up并结合常识可知，工人的动作如果稍微慢下来，蛋糕就会堆积起来。B项意为“慢下来”，故B项正确。

52．C　考查动词。根据上文可知，“我”原以为在烘焙工厂的工作会很简单，但其实工作的压力比想象的要大。再结合该句中的“...it was all a little more highpressure than ...”可以判断，C项符合语境，意为“预计，预料”。

53．B　考查动词。根据下句中的“The son of a grocer，he&39;d spent the summers of his childhood”可知，“我”的父亲儿时也曾经在暑期打工。他对这种工作深有体会，所以在“我”讲述第一天工作的感受时，父亲笑了。B项符合父亲的心境。故B项正确。

54．D　考查动词。根据上文的描述可知，“我”的父亲也做过暑假工，所以这里说的应是父亲具体做什么工作，D项意为“传送”，符合该处语境。

55．D　考查动词。根据该句中的“...respect those who did the work，he told me.”可知，父亲在说这种工作能教会人什么道理，再结合常识可知，此处表示这种工作能让你“珍惜”自己挣到的钱。故D项正确。

(undoubted) help you get refreshed！The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets，the 59. (hot) the spring！Strange，isn&39;t it？But that&39;s how nature is—always leaving us 60. (astonish)．

What comes next is the endless series of steps.You can&39;t help wondering how hard it 61. (be) for the people then to put all those rocks into place.Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain，still it highlights the whole adventure 62. offers a place where you can sit down to rest your 63. (ache)legs.

As the song goes，this long and winding road “will never disappear”，and it will always stick in the visitor&39;s memory.It sure does in 64. (I)．While you&39;re in China，Mount Huangshan is 65. must to visit!

【语篇导读】　本文介绍了中华十大名山之一，天下第一奇山——黄山的迷人景色。

56．What　考查名词性从句。分析句子成分可知，56. is so breathtaking about the experience是主语从句，空处在从句中作主语，表达“……的东西或事”的意思，且位于句首。故填What。

57．humans　考查名词的数。空处是we的同位语，单复数应保持一致，或者由are也可知，空处应用名词的复数形式。故填humans。

58．undoubtedly　考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作状语，修饰动词help，所以用副词形式。故填undoubtedly。

59．hotter　考查形容词比较级。此处为“the＋比较级，the＋比较级”结构，意为“越……越……”。故填hotter。

60．astonished　考查词性转换。此处为“leave＋宾语＋形容词(作宾补)”结构。空处说明的是宾语us的状态，所以用ed形式的形容词astonished，意为“感到惊讶的”。

61．was　考查时态和主谓一致。由then以及语境可知，这里描述的是“……对当时的人们来说，把那些石头放在正确的位置是多么困难”，所以句子的时态应为一般过去时。又因主语是it，要用第三人称单数，所以用was。

62．and　考查连词。空后的动词offers与前面的动词highlights构成并列关系，所以用and。注意本题容易误填that或which，因为给你提供休息的地方的并不是adventure，所以用that/which在逻辑上不通。

63．aching/achy　考查非谓语动词/词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处可填一个非谓语动词，逻辑主语legs与所给词为主谓关系，故用现在分词形容表状态。或者用形容词achy作定语修饰legs。

64．mine　考查代词。由上文所说的in the visitor&39;s memory可知，in 64. 对应的是in my memory，空处指的是“我的记忆”，故填mine。

65．a　考查冠词。在这里must作可数名词，意为“必须做(或看、买等)的事”；a must在文中指“一个必游之地”，且must的音标是以辅音音素开头的，故填a。

The big day came at last.The alarm rang at 6 a．m.The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen.They decided to boil the porridge first.They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk.Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture.Next，Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan.Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread.The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds.Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread.This time，she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.

Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute，the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully，Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff&39;s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear！The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up.They hugged their mother tightly and yelled，“Happy Mother&39;s Day，dear Mummy！” The mother hugged the twins.Her eyes widened at the sight of the breakfast tray.She shook Father who was pretending to snore.He acted astonished when he saw the breakfast.Mother bit into a sandwich and said it was the best one she had ever tasted.Jeff immediately wanted to have a bite，too.Jenna caught her father&39;s eye and they winked at each other secretly.

In my everyday life，I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet.A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment，in particular climate change.It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives.Fortunately，nowadays it is much easier to make ecofriendly lifestyle choices than，let&39;s say，20 years ago.But one question has been on my mind a lot lately：is it better to buy new ecofriendly products or used traditionally produced goods?

After doing some research，I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used.Let me try to explain.

A carbon footprint is made up of two parts，the primary footprint and the secondary footprint.The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide(CO2) from the burning of fuels，including household energy consumption and transportation.The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use—those related to their production and breakdown.

Based on this understanding，we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint.Things like dishes，clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group，so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.However，for the car and the other appliances (设备) that we need we can go with new，energysaving models.I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory.So it seems most reasonable to go for the energysaving models.The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.

【语篇导读】　作者一直努力减少生活中的碳足迹，但是新型环保产品和使用过的传统生产的产品，哪一种更能减少碳足迹呢？作者通过研究和对比给我们找到了答案。

24．What is the text mainly about?

A．What appliances to buy to save energy.

B．What a carbon footprint means in our life.

C．How to identify different carbon footprints.

D．How to make ecofriendly lifestyle choices.

D　主旨大意题。文章第一段提到了作者寻求环保的生活方式来减少碳足迹，引出碳足迹的概念。第三段介绍了碳足迹由两部分构成：第一碳足迹和第二碳足迹。最后一段又提到我们要对自己的碳足迹负责并应该在很大程度上控制碳足迹。由此可知，文章主要介绍的是如何选择环保的生活方式。

25．What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?

A．It is related to our consumption of fuels.

B．It is made when we are buying the products.

C．It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.

D．It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.

D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use—those related to their production and breakdown.”可知，第二碳足迹虽然不是我们直接产生的，但是也是我们使用的产品释放出来的，也是要归结到我们身上的。故选D。

26．Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?

A．Using secondhand textbooks.

B．Using old and expensive cars.

C．Buying new but cheap clothes.

D．Buying new wooden furniture.

A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Things like dishes，clothes and furniture fall into the ‘secondary footprint’ group，so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.”可知，像盘子，衣服和家具这样的物品是属于“第二足迹”组，所以是越少越好，我们应该注重寻找用过的物品来避免额外的生产。二手书是可以二次使用的物品，可以帮助减少碳足迹。故选A。

27．“The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in ．

A．using the product

B．recycling the product

C．making the product

D．transporting the product

A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的once it gets to you可知，the footprint指的是“产品使用过程中产生的二氧化碳”。故选A。

C

Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible.The magician is a specially trained actor.He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature.

Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done.The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands，on his knowledge of psychology，and，sometimes，on mechanical devices (机械装置)．Since magic performance is meant to trick people，the use of psychology is important.The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions.The magician&39;s success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.

Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear.A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects.For example，the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups.The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.What actually happens is that the magician，employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device，hides one ball.While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand.The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician&39;s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.

Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something，and then make it appear whole again.What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying (展示) another object that has not been cut or burned.

【语篇导读】　本文介绍了魔术师如何通过迅速敏捷的动作技巧，或特殊装置以及对观众注意力的引导来“骗过”观众的眼睛，从而达到以假乱真的艺术效果。

28．What is the author&39;s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To promote a magic show.

B．To teach people to be magicians.

C．To explain the art of magic.

D．To praise the talents of magicians.

C　写作意图题。通读文章可知，本文主要介绍了一些魔术师表演的细节以及有关魔术的小技巧，所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释魔术的艺术。故选C。

29．Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick?

A．Moving stage equipment.

B．Directing the audience&39;s attention.

C．Applying high technology.

D．Keeping the performance in secret.

D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done.(只要观众没有发现魔术是如何表演的，魔术表演就是有趣的。)”以及“The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.(魔术师必须防止人们注意到他的手的所有动作和思考他的设备的秘密部分。)”可知，对演出保密对于魔术的成功很重要。故选D。

30．What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs?

A．Providing examples.

B．Making a summary.

C．Drawing comparisons.

D．Explaining a concept.

A　推理判断题。通过倒数第二段中的“For example the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups.The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.(例如，魔术师把一个小球放在几个杯子中的一个杯子的下面。然后球似乎从一个杯子跳到另一个杯子或改变颜色。)”以及最后一段中的“What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.(实际发生的是，魔术师在观众观看其他东西时迅速通过隐藏它，使被切割或烧毁的物体消失。)”可以推知，在文章最后两段中，作者举了两个例子。故选A。

31．What can we infer from the text?

A．Mechanical devices are expensive.

B．Most magicians employ assistants.

C．It takes practice to perform magic.

D．Small objects are magicians&39; favourite.

C　推理判断题。通过文章第一段中的“The magician is a specially trained actor.(魔术师是受过专门训练的演员)”可推知，表演魔术需要练习。故选C。

D

The average bear，it seems，is getting ever smarter. First，it turned out that at least one can use a comb.Now it appears that some can count，too.

Jennifer Vonk，of Oakland University，in Michigan，and Michael Beran，from Georgia State University，set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen.In return for a food reward one bear，Brutus，would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose.The others，Bella and Dusty，would touch the screen with their claws (爪子)．

As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area.This could be explained by the bears&39; distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots.However，the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.

Moving patterns，where each dot followed its own path around the screen，were more of a challenge. But Brutus，at least，was not defeated.He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.

It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence.They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food.They are，however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts.Perhaps，then，their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help.

【语篇导读】　本文通过一项实验证明熊是有智力的。

32．What task did the scientists set for the three bears?

A．Distinguishing different dot patterns.

B．Figuring out different colours of dots.

C．Putting the dots into differently coloured groups.

D．Picking out the group with a larger number of dots.

D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ ...set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen.”可知，科学家让三只熊辨别电脑屏幕上数量多或少的点组。

33．For the bears，the task was easier when ．

A．the coloured dots were moving slowly

B．the dot patterns were regular in shape

C．the dots followed a path on the screen

D．more dots covered a larger coloured area

D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As the researchers report in Animal Behavior，the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area.”可知，当彩色点不移动，而且彩色点越多(的组)占据更大的彩色区域时，熊的表现最好(分辨能力最好)，即熊的任务就最容易完成。故选D。

34．What may explain the bears&39; high degree of intelligence?

A．They learn skills from other animals.

B．They face life challenges on their own.

C．They feed on a diverse range of food.

D．They have complex social networks.

B　细节理解题。根据最后一段的“...a high degree of intelligence.They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food.They are，however，always alone，and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts.Perhaps，then，their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help.”可知，熊的高智商表现在它们独自面对生活的挑战。故选B。

35．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours

B．New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found

C．Three Bears Learned How to Count

D．The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus

B　主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now it appears that some can count，too.”，最后一段中的“a high degree of intelligence”及全文内容可知，本文是在介绍一个证明熊的智力的新发现。故选B。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popular nowadays，and for good reason.They can help you out in just about every area of your life，whether it&39;s keeping fit，communicating with friends，or even learning a language. 36 Here&39;s what you should think about before downloading an app for language learning.

·Learn from diverse sources (not just apps)

Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you.This is a world of diverse sources (来源) of information，from newspapers and books to TV，radio，music and even real people.Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native language? 37

·Establish your purpose and plan your habits

Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training？The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable. 38 These apps encourage habit building，because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.

·Make it social

39 I mean social for real.I owe the speed of progress I made in Italian to the support from Jim，my partner in study time.Find a friend to accompany you.Take an evening class.Borrow a book.Buy a book.Book a week away and attend a language school.Just don&39;t forget your phone!

If I may speak sincerely，the combination of app，language school，Jim，evenings out，and a choice book or two proved extremely effective. 40

A．I recommend it.

B．Remember that an app is just a tool.

C．No.I don&39;t mean posting your progress online.

D．I encourage you to use apps as often as you can.

E．Probably not，so why do so in your new language?

F．The best apps adapt themselves based upon your behavior.

G．However，you need to know how to use them properly to really benefit.

【语篇导读】　文章主要介绍了一些在下载一款语言学习应用程序之前应该考虑的事情。

36．G　空前提到应用软件在生活、学习多方面让人受益，空后提到人们在下载app进行语言学习之前应该考虑一些问题。故本句与上文为转折关系，只有知道了如何合理地使用，才能真正受益。G选项中them指代上文中的Apps。

37．E　根据空前的问句“学习母语时，你会把自己限制在一种媒介中吗？”可知，本空应承接上文，做出回答，即“也许不会”，之后进一步提出反问“那学习新语言时为什么要如此呢？”。故选E。

38．F　根据空前的“好的应用软件旨在帮助你按照你的时间表来安排学习”可知，本段探讨什么是好的学习应用软件。F项“最好的应用软件可以根据使用者的行为习惯自行调整”符合语境，选项中的The best apps对应下文中的These apps。

39．C　根据本段的小标题Make it social以及空后的“I mean social for real.”可知，本空应该是在说明与下文意思相反的情况，C选项“不，我不是说让你把你的进展发布到网上”符合语境，I don&39;t mean与I mean形成前后对照。故选C。

40．A　根据空前句以及上段可知，作者结合自己的语言学习成功案例，给出建议，并真诚推荐自己亲身经历的行之有效的方法，即各种学习方式的结合。故A项符合语境，it指代上文的combination。

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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

This happened when I was ten.On a normal Sunday，I went to the barber shop where I always went.That day，along with the barber there was an assistant，who had recently 41 the shop.

So I sat for the haircut.The uncle asked me how 42 I wanted it.I answered，“Just do as my dad had 43 you the last time.”

He smiled.Before starting the 44 ，he added，“What if I keep it long？”

I 45 he was joking.So I joked too.I said，“I can&39;t 46 what would happen to your shop then！”

The moment I said it，the assistant 47 from behind.“How dare do you say that！Who are you to take us down，eh？”

I admit I was too 48 at that moment and the uncle standing beside me was giving me an 49 look.

From that day on，I 50 stopped joking about anyone&39;s profession and works. It is one of the most 51 incidents in my life，which taught me to 52 the profession and works of a person, no matter how 53 they are.

I&39;m 54 that the assistant responded in a way that made me rethink the power of my words.Words do make a 55 ．

【语篇导读】　作者10岁的时候，有次去理发店，因为一句玩笑话惹怒了理发师助理。理发师助理的反应让作者明白了一个道理：要尊重任何一种职业。

41．C　考查动词。根据“there was an assistant，who had recently ...”可知，理发师助理刚来这家店工作不久。故选C。

42．B　考查副词。空后的it指haircut，由下文理发师助理问的“What if I keep it long？”可知，此处应该是指理发师问作者头发想剪多长。故选B。

43．A　考查动词。根据语境可知，作者经常来这家理发店理发，上一次是和父亲一起来的。当理发师问作者留多长的头发时，作者回答：就和上次“我”父亲嘱咐的一样。instruct意为“吩咐”，符合语境。

44．D　考查名词。根据第二段第一句“So I sat for the haircut.”可知，这里是指在理发之前，理发师对作者的询问。所以选D。

45．D　考查动词。根据下一句“So I joked too.”可知，作者明白这位理发师是在开玩笑。故选D。

46．C　考查动词。根据“what would happen to your shop then”可知，此处是指作者开玩笑地说，自己不能保证理发店会发生什么事情，guarantee意为“保证”，符合语境。

47．B　考查动词。根据下文的“How dare do you say that！Who are you to take us down，eh？”的语气可知，此处表达的是理发师助理听到作者的回答后很生气。shout意为“大声说”，符合语境。

48．C　考查形容词。根据上一段助理愤怒的语气和下一段中的“stopped joking about anyone&39;s profession and works”可知，作者看到理发师助理这种反应应是感到害怕。故选C。

49．D　考查形容词。由上下文语境可知，作者的一句玩笑话让理发师助理很生气，作者被理发师助理大声呵斥。根据常识可知，理发师见此情景应该是感到尴尬的。故选D。

50．B　考查副词。根据空前的“From that day on”和空后的“stopped joking about anyone&39;s profession and works”可知，此处是指从那天起，作者再也没有对他人的职业和作品开玩笑了。故选B。

51．A　考查形容词。根据最后一段中的“the assistant responded in a way that made me rethink the power of my words”可知，理发店的这次经历对作者很重要。故选A。

52．D　考查动词。由语境可知，这位理发师助理之所以那么生气是因为感受到自己的职业没有得到尊重，所以作者通过他的反应明白了要尊重任何一种职业。故选D。

53．B　考查形容词。上一句提到要尊重任何一种职业，所以small符合语境。这里指无论是多么渺小的职业。

54．C　考查形容词。这位理发师助理让作者明白了很重要的人生道理，所以作者对他心怀感激。故选C。

55．A　考查名词。由上文可知，不恰当的言语会带来负面影响，所以此处表达的是，言语很重要。make a difference 为固定搭配，意为“有作用；有影响”。

【语篇导读】　本文主要讲述了学生在选择自己要上的大学时要自己做决定，充分考虑每一种选择，保持开放的心态，把自己的教育放在首位。

56．including　考查介词。分析句子可知，空处与其后的宾语family members and friends构成介词短语。故填including。

57．valuable　考查词性转换。分析句子结构和空后的名词advice可知，空白处应填形容词valuable (宝贵的)，作定语，修饰名词advice。

58．satisfied　考查词性转换。此处为“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构，此处修饰人，应用ed结尾的形容词satisfied，作宾补。故填satisfied。

59．to let　考查非谓语动词。此处是“it＋be＋adj.＋to do sth.”结构，it作形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语。

61．that　考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，并在定语从句中作主语，从句修饰先行词school；当先行词前有all，every，any等不定代词修饰时，关系代词用that。

62．an　考查冠词。此处mind为可数名词，open是以元音音素开头的单词，keep an open mind表示“抱着虚心的态度”。故填an。

63．specifically　考查副词。此处应填副词作状语，修饰介词短语for a high school relationship。故填specifically。

64．or　考查连词。此处for a high school relationship和to make someone else happy是并列成分，故填表示另一种可能的并列连词or。

65．student&39;s　考查名词所有格。此处student与后文college experience构成所属关系，结合后文的his or her own可知，此处指一个学生的大学经历，故应填单数名词student的所有格形式student&39;s。

第二节(满分25分)

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。

During this past year，I&39;ve had three instances of car trouble.Each time these things happened，I was sick of the way most people hadn&39;t bothered to help. One of those times，I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep.I put signs in the windows，big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶)，and offered money.Nothing.Right as I was about to give up，a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over，and the father bounded out.

He sized up the situation and called for his daughter，who spoke English.He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep，so we would need something to support it.Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road.We rolled it over and put his jack on top，and we were in business.

I started taking the wheel off，and then，if you can believe it，I broke his tire iron.No worries：He handed it to his wife，and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes.We finished the job，and I was a very happy man.

The two of us were dirty and sweaty.His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands.I tried to put a $20 bill in the man&39;s hand，but he wouldn&39;t take it，so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.I asked the little girl where they lived.Mexico，she said.They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks.Then they would go home.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

When I was about to say goodbye，the girl asked if I&39;d had lunch.

After they left，I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.

【参考范文】

When I was about to say goodbye，the girl asked if I&39;d had lunch.I told her I hadn&39;t had lunch because I&39;d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours.The girl said they didn&39;t have lunch either.She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together.Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic.So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road.During that time，I talked about what had happened to me and how I felt.They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms.After lunch，the girl&39;s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my Jeep.I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.

After they left，I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag.I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them.At the same time，there was a note written by a girl，which read “We are very happy to be able to help you.We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed.But we met a lot of helpful people，which made us feel very warm.To help others with one&39;s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger.I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved，and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and much warmer.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World

People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A．D.，the Romans built the Colosseum，which remains the world&39;s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome&39;s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances，seating 50，000 people.However，that was small fry compared with the city&39;s Circus Maximus，which accommodated around 250，000 people.

These days，safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan&39;s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each；gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.

For the biggest stadiums in the world，we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far，which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity，as well as updated information from official stadium websites.

All these stadiums are still functional，still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.

·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium，Pyongyang，D.P.R.Korea.Capacity：150，000.Opened：May 1，1989.

·Michigan Stadium，Ann Arbor，Michigan，U.S.Capacity：107，601.Opened：October 1，1927.

·Beaver Stadium，State College，Pennsylvania，U.S.Capacity：106，572.Opened：September 17，1960.

·Ohio Stadium，Columbus，Ohio，U.S.Capacity：104，944.Opened：October 7，1922.

·Kyle Field，College Station，Texas，U.S.Capacity：102，512.Opened：September 24，1927.

【语篇导读】　文章主要介绍了当今世界上最大的几座体育场。

21．How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?

A．104，944.　　　　B．107，601.

C．About 150，000. D．About 250，000.

D　细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“However，that was small fry compared with the city&39;s Circus Maximus，which accommodated around 250，000 people.”可知，Circus Maximus能容纳大约25万人。

22．Of the following stadiums，which is the oldest?

A．Michigan Stadium. B．Beaver Stadium.

C．Ohio Stadium. D．Kyle Field.

C　细节理解题。每一家体育场的开放时间：Michigan Stadium—1927年，Beaver Stadium—1960年，Ohio Stadium—1922年，Kyle Field—1927年。由此可知，正确答案为C。

23．What do the listed stadiums have in common?

A．They host big games.

B．They have become tourist attractions.

C．They were built by Americans.

D．They are favored by architects.

A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“All these stadiums are still functional，still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.”可知，这些体育场仍然开放，并且仍然举办世界体育界最大型的赛事。故选A。

B

When almost everyone has a mobile phone，why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)?

These days you&39;d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn&39;t own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere，anytime.

Still，55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones，according to a survey (调查)．Of those Australians who still have a landline，a third concede that it&39;s not really necessary and they&39;re keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home fails into that category.

More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor (因素) —only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then，compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who&39;ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn&39;t the only factor；I&39;d say it&39;s also to do with the makeup of your household.

Generation Xers with young families，like my wife and I，can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said，to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents，to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it)．

How attached are you to your landline？How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?

【语篇导读】　本文主要介绍了现在几乎每个人都用手机，但还有超过一半的澳大利亚的家庭在使用座机。文章主要阐述了产生这一现象的原因。

24．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?

A．Their target users.

B．Their wide popularity.

C．Their major functions.

D．Their complex design.

B　推理判断题。根据文章第二段的内容可知，该段主要是说，在澳大利亚现在很难找到15岁以上还没有手机的人，而事实上很多小孩子的口袋里都有一部手机。由此可推知，在澳大利亚使用手机的人越来越多，手机在广泛地流行起来。故选B。

25．What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Admit.　　　　　 B．Argue.

C．Remember. D．Remark.

A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文可知，下文主要是说很多人留着座机是为了一些突发情况，并有一部分人根本不用座机。故画线词所在句是说，有三分之一的人承认座机不是必须要有的东西。由此可推断concede意为“承认”，故选A。argue“争论”；remember“记得”；remark“评论”，均不符合该处的语境。

26．What can we say about Baby Boomers?

A．They like smartphone games.

B．They enjoy guessing callers&39; identity.

C．They keep using landline phones.

D．They are attached to their family.

C　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“ ...compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who&39;ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”和第五段中的“...the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents ...”可知，相比之下，在生育高峰期出生的人中，有84%的人可能已经拥有同样的座机号码50年了。显然，他们一直在使用座机。故选C。

27．What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?

A．It remains a family necessity.

B．It will fall out of use some day.

C．It may increase daily expenses.

D．It is as important as the gas light.

B　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，作者用煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的例子，暗示座机将来有一天可能像它们一样，在我们的日常生活中消失。故选B。

C

You&39;ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year.But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference？Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to reexamine their relationship to singleuse plastic products.

At the beginning of the year，the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse，” a pair of 10foottall plastic waves，frozen midcrash.Made of 168，000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups，the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City，Vietnam.

Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution，but they&39;ve recently come under fire because most people don&39;t need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.Every straw that&39;s part of Von Wong&39;s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes.Once the drink is gone，the straw will take centuries to disappear.

In a piece from 2018，Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic：Every 60 seconds，a truckload&39;s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work，titled “Truckload of Plastic，” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10，000 pieces of plastic，which were then tied together to look like they&39;d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.

Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

【语篇导读】　面对无处不在的海洋塑料污染，尤其是大家每天都在使用的塑料吸管和塑料杯，艺术家Benjamin Von Wong通过其艺术作品“Strawpocalypse”和“Truckload of Plastic”呼唤人们对塑料垃圾的关注。

28．What are Von Wong&39;s artworks intended for?

A．Beautifying the city he lives in.

B．Introducing ecofriendly products.

C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.

D．Reducing garbage on the beach.

C　推理判断题。本题询问Von Wong的艺术作品的目的是什么。根据题干中的关键信息Von Wong&39;s artworks 找到第一段中的“Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does.He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage，forcing viewers to reexamine their relationship to singleuse plastic products.(艺术家Benjamin Von Wong想让你知道它确实如此。他用塑料垃圾建造了巨大的雕塑，使观看者重新审视他们与一次性塑料产品的关系。)”，由此可推知，Von Wong的艺术作品旨在引起公众对塑料垃圾的关注。故选C。

29．Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.

B．To explain why they are useful.

C．To voice his views on modern art.

D．To find a substitute for them.

A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution，but they&39;ve recently come under fire because most people don&39;t need them to drink with and，because of their small size and weight，they cannot be recycled.”可知，塑料吸管最近已经受到了抨击，由于它们体积小并且重量轻，所以不能被回收利用。故选A。

30．What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?

A．Calming. B．Disturbing.

C．Refreshing. D．Challenging.

B　推理判断题。本题询问艺术作品“Truckload of Plastic”对观看者有什么影响。根据第四段的内容可知，在2018年的一件作品中，Von Wong想说明这一明确的统计数据：每60秒，一卡车的塑料就会进入海洋。由此可知，他创作的“Truckload of Plastic”是为了引起观看者的不安与恐慌，进而呼唤人们关注塑料垃圾污染问题。故选B。

31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Artists&39; Opinions on Plastic Safety

B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art

C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies

D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

D　主旨大意题。艺术家Benjamin Von Wong通过其艺术作品，呼唤人们关注塑料垃圾污染问题，文章详细介绍了他的两件作品：“Strawpocalypse”和“Truckload of Plastic”。由此可知，本文主要讲述的是被转变成雕塑的海洋塑料。故选D。

D

During an interview for one of my books，my interviewer said something I still think about often.Annoyed by the level of distraction (干扰) in his open office，he said，“That&39;s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I can focus.” His comment struck me as strange.After all，coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局)．But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.

The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background，from total silence to 50 decibels (分贝)，70 decibels，and 85 decibels.The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant；however，the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups.Since the effects were small，this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.

But since the results at 70 decibels were significant，the study also suggests that the right level of background noise—not too loud and not total silence—may actually improve one&39;s creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander，without making it impossible to focus.This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.

So why do so many of us hate our open offices？The problem may be that，in our offices，we can&39;t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others&39; conversations while we&39;re trying to focus.Indeed，the researchers found that facetoface interactions and conversations affect the creative process，and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.

【语篇导读】　作者通过引用研究者对噪声的研究，得出“特定程度的噪声最适合人们进行创造性思维”这一结论，进而说明共享办公空间与创造性思维能力之间的联系：前者既提供了一定程度的噪声，又提供了免受打扰的自由。

32．Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space?

A．It helps him concentrate.

B．It blocks out background noise.

C．It has a pleasant atmosphere.

D．It encourages facetoface interactions.

A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“That&39;s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street—so I can focus.”可知，采访者是街对面的共享工作空间的会员，在那里他能集中精力。所以，那位采访者更喜欢共享工作空间的原因是那里有助于他集中精力。故选A。

33．Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability?

A．Total silence. B．50 decibels.

C．70 decibels. D．85 decibels.

C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“...the participants in the 70 decibels group—those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop—significantly outperformed the other groups.”可知，70分贝组的参与者的测试结果最好，显然70分贝的背景噪声可以提高创造性思维能力。故选C。

34．What makes an open office unwelcome to many people?

A．Personal privacy unprotected.

B．Limited working space.

C．Restrictions on group discussion.

D．Constant interruptions.

D　推理判断题。根据题干中的open office和unwelcome可以查找到最后一段。根据最后一段中的“...we can&39;t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others&39; conversations while we&39;re trying to focus.”以及“while also providing freedom from interruptions”可知，开放式办公室不受欢迎的原因是人们会不断地受到打扰。故选D。

35．What can we infer about the author from the text?

A．He&39;s a news reporter.

B．He&39;s an office manager.

C．He&39;s a professional designer.

D．He&39;s a published writer.

D　推理判断题。根据文章第一句中的“During an interview for one of my books”可知，作者在为自己的一本书接受采访的时候留意到这个问题(即共享办公空间与创造性思维能力之间的联系)，由此可以判断作者是一位作家。故选D。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

According to Jessica Hagy，author of How to Be Interesting，it&39;s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party.

36 ，if you&39;re out of your comfort zone or if you&39;re wandering into somebody&39;s house for the first time.So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous，trying different foods and talking to strangers.

People love to talk about themselves.If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living？”，you&39;ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you&39;re talking to. 37 ，it can bring in “I have this old，brokendown vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.

38 ？If you can&39;t take their wine away，you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台)．If you&39;re the host，you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. 39 ．

And what about that other dinnerparty killer：awkward silence？If you&39;re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party，the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬)． 40 ．Just quickly turn around and say，“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”

So being interesting at a dinner party isn&39;t that hard.

A．How do you know the host

B．The first step is to go exploring

C．If you ask the question “How did you get here？”

D．Be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers

E．Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say

F．What about that person who has had too much to drink or won&39;t stop talking

G．He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most

【语篇导读】　本文介绍了一些让自己在宴会上变得有趣的方法。

36．B　根据空处所在句的后一句“So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous，trying different foods and talking to strangers.”可知，要想在宴会上变得有趣，主要的事情就是现身(会场)，并且有冒险精神，去品尝不同的食物，并和陌生人进行交谈。另外，上述引文中的be adventurous和B选项The first step is to go exploring中的go exploring相呼应。故选B。

37．C　根据空后的“it can bring in ‘I have this old，brokendown vehicle’ or ‘I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.’”可知，此处是指以“你是怎么到这里来的？”这个问题开启一段谈话。vehicle和bus均与C项中的问题“How did you get here？”呼应。

38．F　空后的标点符号是问号，据此可以判断需要在此处填入一个问句，所以应该在选项A和选项F之间选择。空后一句“If you can&39;t take their wine away，you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台)．”中的关键词wine和soapbox (讲台) 分别与F项中的person who has had too much to drink和won&39;t stop talking呼应。故选F。

39．E　根据上文的“If you can&39;t take their wine away，you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台)．”可知，空处就如何应付宴会上喝太多或喋喋不休的人提出了另一个建议。由“...take away their soapbox (讲台)．”可知E项符合语境。

40．G　空前一句“If you&39;re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party，the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment (赞扬)．”中的关键词语an awkward silence和the host，分别与G项中的that awkwardness和He or she is the person呼应。故选G。

答案：

I love doing housework.I always assist my parents in doing the after meals.I also water the flowers in the yard and up my own bedroom necessary.In my opinion，students can benefit a lot doing some housework.Firstly，doing housework helpful for us to be a responsible person.Also，it gives our parents more time to do what they like and it improves the family relationship.What&39;s ，doing housework can be a form of relaxation from study.That&39;s view on housework.And this can inspire more thinking on the topic!

第一处：dish→dishes　考查固定搭配。do the dishes为固定搭配，意为“洗餐具；洗碗碟”。故将dish改为dishes。

第二处：tidying→tidy　考查动词。并列连词前后的词在形式上应保持一致，所以and后的动词要与water的形式一致。故将tidying改为tidy。

第三处：whatever→whenever　考查状语从句。理解句意可知，“我”会在任何必要的时候打扫“我”的卧室。故将whatever改为whenever。

第四处：a lot后加from　考查介词。固定结构benefit from ...意为“从……中受益”。故在a lot后加from。

第五处：was→is　考查时态。根据“上下文时态一致原则”可知，此处时态应该和上文保持一致，句子应使用一般现在时。故将was改为is。

第六处：删掉are　考查动词。理解句意可知，此处的like意为“喜欢”，作动词，因此are多余。故将are删掉。

第七处：most→more　考查固定搭配。what&39;s more为固定搭配，意为“而且；更重要的是；另外”。故将most改为more。

第八处：mentally→mental　考查形容词。修饰名词relaxation的成分在句中作定语，需要由形容词来充当，故将mentally改为mental。

第九处：our→my　考查代词。根据上下文可知，本文描述的是作者自己的看法，应该由my来修饰opinion。故将our改为my。

第十处：hopes→hope　考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知，该句为祈使句，所以应该用动词原形。故将hopes改为hope。

Be smart online learners

Learning online has become an important way to study recently. Students have easier access to more materials in their favor.Besides，there is no limit to learning time and space，which brings great convenience to all learners.However，some students who lack selfdiscipline may find their minds wandering when facing a screen rather than the faces of their teachers.

I benefit a lot from online learning，and for those who hope so too，my following suggestions will be helpful.First，put down learning tasks in detail before you start.Then，tick what you have achieved and rearrange those you haven&39;t.Finally，set aside 10 minutes to have a break if you find it hard to focus on what you&39;re learning.Keep it in mind that distraction should be dealt with wisely.

That&39;s all.Thank you for your attention.

Port Lympne Reserve，which runs a breeding (繁育) programme，has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf (犀牛幼崽)．When the tiny creature arrived on January 31，she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival，especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养)．

Paul Beer，head of rhino section at Port Lympne，said：“Obviously we&39;re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.She&39;s healthy，strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother，Solio，is a firsttime mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It&39;s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open，but as soon as the weather warms up，I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”

The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve，but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to firsttime mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg.His mother，grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

According to the World Wildlife Fund，the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500，giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.

【语篇导读】　在Port Lympne保护区降生了一头罕见的黑犀牛幼崽，这种稀有动物因很难圈养繁殖，因此尤其珍贵。

When I was 9，we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow，London on a gray January morning.Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me.Without my beloved beaches and endless bluesky days，I felt at a loss and out of place.Until I made a discovery.

Southbank，at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with the local skaters.We spoke our own language. And my favorite：Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don&39;t worry about it.Once，when trying a certain trick on the beam (横杆)，I fell onto the stones，damaging a nerve in my hand，and Toby came over，helping me up：Safe，man.Safe.A few minutes later，when I landed the trick，my friends beat their boards loud，shouting：“Safe！Safe! Safe！”And that&39;s what mattered—landing tricks，being a good skater.

When I was 15，my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there，but the locals were far less welcoming.Within a couple of years，I&39;d given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004，I found myself wandering down to Southbank，spending hours there. I&39;ve traveled back several times since，most recently this past spring.The day was cold but clear；tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards，I found my way to the beam.Then a railthin teenager，in a baggy white Tshirt，skidded (滑) up to the beam.He sat next to me.He seemed not to notice the man next to him.But soon I caught a few of his glances.“I was a local here 20 years ago，” I told him.Then，slowly，he began to nod his head. “Safe，man.Safe.”

“Yeah，” I said.“Safe.”

Who is a genius？This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.

Let&39;s state clearly：Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us？And who are they?

In the sciences and arts，those praised as geniuses were most often white men，of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.It&39;s said that history is written by the victors，and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women，or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.

A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six，girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender (性别) are “really，really smart.” Even worse，the study found that girls act on that belief：Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really，really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up？It doesn&39;t take a genius to know the answer：absolutely not.

Here&39;s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication，we&39;re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look，the more we will see that social factors (因素) like gender，race，and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says，future geniuses come from those with “intelligence，creativity，perseverance (毅力)，and simple good fortune，who are able to change the world.”

【语篇导读】　不论是在科学界还是艺术界，判断一个人是不是“天才”只有一个标准——“胜利者的标准”。然而这是一个极为不公平的判断标准，因为它将很大一部分人排除在“天才俱乐部”外。好消息是这种情况正在得到改善。

32．What does the author think of victors&39; standards for joining the genius club?

A．They&39;re unfair. B．They&39;re conservative.

C．They&39;re objective. D．They&39;re strict.

A　推理判断题。根据第三段的“It&39;s said that history is written by the victors，and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women，or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可知，历史是由胜利者书写的，而这些胜利者也为“天才俱乐部”设定了标准。当“俱乐部”外的天才(即女性、不同肤色或信仰的人)做出贡献时，他们得不到认可，并会被其他人拒绝进入“天才俱乐部”。因此作者认为胜利者为“天才俱乐部”设定的准入标准是不公平的。故选A。

33．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?

A．They think themselves smart.

B．They look up to great thinkers.

C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.

D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.

D　推理判断题。根据第四段的“A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six，girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender (性别) are ‘really，really smart.’ Even worse，the study found that girls act on that belief：Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are‘really，really smart.’”可知，该项研究发现，女孩会避免去做那些被认为是“特别特别聪明”的孩子才能做的事。由此可知，女孩可能受到社会观念的影响。故选D。

34．Why are more geniuses known to the public?

A．Improved global communication.

B．Less discrimination against women.

C．Acceptance of victors&39; concepts.

D．Changes in people&39;s social positions.

A　细节理解题。根据第五段的“In a wired world with constant global communication，we&39;re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.”可知，有更多的天才被公众所知，其原因在于全球通信系统的改善。故选A。

35．What is the best title for the text?

A．Geniuses Think Alike

B．Genius Takes Many Forms

C．Genius and Intelligence

D．Genius and Luck

B　主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“...social factors (因素) like gender，race，and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says，future geniuses come from those with ‘intelligence，creativity，perseverance (毅力)，and simple good fortune，who are able to change the world.’”可知，像性别、种族和阶层这样的社会因素并不能决定天才是什么样的。因此B项“天才有多种形式”最能概括本文的主旨。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Swap，Don&39;t Shop!

You keep hearing about recycling，right？But it doesn&39;t end with bottles，cans，and paper.Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources (资源) to make，and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment.So what to do with all those perfectlygoodbutyou&39;remaybealittlesickofthem clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 36 ．It&39;s the best way to get rid of your used clothes，score clothes from your friends，and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes，the organization of the event，and，obviously，how much fun is had.It&39;s really easy to do！Here are a few pointers.

·Invite 510 people so you have a nice selection. 37 ，and there may not be enough things to choose from；more than that，and it becomes uncontrollable.

· 38 ．They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.

·Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 39 ．Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.

·Set a starting time.Maybe you say “go，” or turn on a certain song，or whatever. 40 ．And don&39;t forget to put out some cookies and fruits.Remember，it&39;s a party!

A．Less people than that

B．Hold a clothing swap

C．If two people are competing

D．Just keep music playing throughout

E．Donate whatever clothes are left over

F．Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots

G．Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

【语篇导读】　本文主要介绍了如何举办服装交换派对活动来回收利用旧衣服，以达到保护环境的目的。

36．B　分析上下文语境可知，该空起承上启下的作用。空前提到该如何处理你不喜欢的衣服，空后提到舍弃你的旧衣服，从你朋友那里获得衣服。由此可知，空处应提出一种解决你不喜欢的衣服这一问题的方法。分析选项可知，B项“举办旧衣物交换活动”是对该问题的回答；而下一句中的代词It也指代B选项中的clothing swap。故B项正确。

37．A　分析本句的结构可知，后半句中的“more than that ...”和空处所填应形成对比的关系；分析各选项可知，A项符合该处语境，且选项中的that与more than that中的that均指代该段首句中的Invite 510 people。故A项正确。

38．G　该空位于句首，应为段落的主旨句。且由下一句中的also一词可知，两句之间为递进关系，G选项中的bring与下一句“They should also prepare ...”中的prepare相呼应，此段介绍参加服装交换派对活动的要求，即不仅要带来干净可穿的衣物，还要准备好装“新”衣物的环保袋。故G项正确。

39．F　由上下文语境可知，空处应是讲述交换衣服时所做的事情。F选项中put一词是前一句“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room”的关键词复现，表明应把衣物摆放在合适的位置。故F项正确。

40．D　由空前一句中的“turn on a certain song，or whatever”和空后一句可知，D选项中的“全程播放音乐”与空后“准备一些饼干和水果”，都是为了给旧衣物交换派对活动增添乐趣。故D项正确。

63．to walk　考查固定句型。分析句子可知，此处是固定句型“It is＋adj.＋(for sb.)to do sth.”，It是形式主语，动词不定式短语是真正的主语。

65．better　考查形容词的比较级。分析句子结构，且根据空后的than可知，空处应用good的比较级。

66．hired　考查时态。根据上下文可知，此句描述的是过去的情况，故用一般过去时。

67．but　考查连词。根据空处前后的句意可知，“自行车又旧又摇晃”与“能骑”之间是转折关系。故用表转折的连词but。

68．the　考查冠词。all the way为固定短语，意为“一直，一路上”。

69．watchtowers　考查名词的单复数。并列连词and连接的词在形式上应保持一致，and前的gates是名词的复数形式，故空处应用所给词的复数形式watchtowers。

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire.One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble？Here are the results.Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they&39;re of the same age and can understand each other.Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help.Only a little choose to deal with the problems on our own.Their answers also show that they dislike talk to others.They kept very much to themselves.In my opinion，where in trouble，we should seek help from those we trust mostly.

答案：

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire.One of the questions ：Who will you go in times of trouble？Here are the results.Many students say they will talk to their or classmates because they&39;re of the same age and can understand each other.Some will turn to their parents or teachers for help.Only a choose to deal with the problem on own.Their answers also show that they dislike to others.They very much to themselves.In my opinion， in trouble，we should seek help from those we trust.

第一处：are→is　考查主谓一致。“one of the＋可数名词复数形式”为固定搭配，意为“……之一”，中心词是one，提示主语是“其中的一个问题”，be动词应用第三人称单数。

第二处：go后加to　考查介词。go to意为“求助于”，故在go后加to。

第三处：friend→friends　考查名词的数。此处的friend通过连词or与classmates并列，提示这里指的“朋友”不止一个。故把friend改为friends。

第四处：删掉out　考查固定搭配。turn to sb. for help为固定搭配，意为“向某人寻求帮助”。

第五处：little→few　考查代词。本句主语代指的“学生”(students)为可数名词，a little用于指代不可数名词。故把little改为few。

第六处：our→their　考查代词。本句主语指代students，根据逻辑关系可知，此处表示的应该是“靠他们自己”(on their own)。故把our改为their。

第七处：talk→talking　考查非谓语动词。dislike doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“不喜欢做某事”。

第八处：kept→keep　考查时态。本文的主体时态为一般现在时，因此本句也应该用一般现在时。故把kept改为keep。

第九处：where→when/whenever　考查连词。分析本句结构可知，此处是省略了主语和谓语时间状语从句。故把where改为when或whenever。

第十处：mostly→most　考查副词。mostly意为“主要地，一般地”，而most意为“(程度上)最大，最高”。根据语境可知，此处是说“我们最相信的那些人”。故把mostly改为most。

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25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

More than 25 years ago，Saroo Brierley lived in rural (农村) India.One day，he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep.When he woke up and found himself alone，the 4yearold decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front of him—so he got on.

That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.He lived on the streets，and then in an orphanage (孤儿院)．There，he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.

As he writes in his new book.A Long Way Home，Brierley couldn&39;t help but wonder about his hometown back in India.He remembered landmarks，but since he didn&39;t know his town&39;s name，finding a small neighborhood in a vast country proved to be impossible.

Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the program&39;s satellite pictures.In 2011，he came across something familiar.He studied it and realized he was looking at a town&39;s central business district from a bird&39;seye view.He thought，“On the righthand side you should see the threeplatform train station”—and there it was.“And on the lefthand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was.Everything just started to match.

When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child，he saw a lady standing in the entrance.“There&39;s something about me，” he thought—and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.

In an interview Brierley says，“My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered.But she came forth and walked forward，and I walked forward，and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain，you know，it was like a nuclear fusion (核聚变)．I just didn&39;t know what to say，because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true.And here I am，standing in front of her.”

【语篇导读】　Sarcoo Brierley小时候因误上了火车，从而与家人分离。多年后，他通过数字绘图程序找到了家乡，并与家人团聚。

21．Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago?

A．He got on a train by mistake.

B．He got lost while playing in the street.

C．He was taken away by a foreigner.

D．He was adopted by an Australian family.

A　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，Sarcoo Brierley和兄弟在铁路线上玩耍然后睡着了，当他醒来发现自己一个人时，认为哥哥可能在他看到的前面那辆火车上，于是他也上了火车。由此可知，主人公多年前和家人走散是因为误上了火车。

22．How did Brierley find his hometown?

A．By analyzing old pictures.

B．By travelling all around India.

C．By studying digital maps.

D．By spreading his story via his book.

C　细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the program&39;s satellite pictures.”和最后一句“Everything just started to match.”可知，主人公是通过研究数字地图找到家乡的。

23．What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?

A．His love for his mother.

B．His reunion with his mother.

C．His long way back home.

D．His memory of his hometown.

B　主旨大意题。由文章最后一段可知，在一次采访中，他谈到了自己和妈妈相见时的情景和心情，因此主人公在采访中主要讲的是他和母亲团聚时的情况。

B

At the start of the 20th century，an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today.His predictions about slowing population growth，mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark.But he was wrong in one prediction：that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.

Today，in Australia，most children on average fall 2，000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight.In the early 1970s，40 per cent of children walked to school，while in 2010，it was as low as 15 per cent.

The decline is not because we have all become lazy.Families are pressed for time，many with both parents working to pay for their house，often working hours not of their choosing，living in cardependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.

The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation：for health and wellbeing，as well as lost opportunities (机会) for children to get to know their local surroundings.And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.

Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day，only to meet with a “good”，quickly followed by “I&39;m hungry”．This is also my experience as a mother.But somewhere over the daily walk more about my son&39;s day comes out.I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits.This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.

Many primary schools support walking schoolbusroutes (路线)，with days of regular，parentaccompanied walks.Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing.It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning—running shoes by the front door，lunches made the night before，umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones—but it&39;s certainly worth trying.

【语篇导读】　本文通过一个美国工程师的预言，引出青少年缺乏运动，导致过度肥胖的社会问题，分析原因，并指出学校和家长为解决这一问题所采取的措施和带来的效果。

24．Why does the author mention Watkins&39; predictions in the first paragraph?

A．To make comparisons.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To support her argument.

D．To provide examples.

B　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But he was wrong in one prediction：that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.”和第二段的内容可知，作者通过提及Watkins对未来生活的错误预测“每人每天都要走10英里”来引出话题，即当今青少年缺乏锻炼导致过度肥胖。故选B。

25．What has caused the decrease in Australian children&39;s physical activity?

A．Plain laziness. B．Health problems.

C．Lack of time. D．Security concerns.

C　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Families are pressed for time ...living in cardependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.”可知，由于父母的时间紧张，出行更依赖汽车，走路上学的孩子越来越少，导致青少年缺乏锻炼。题干中的decrease和文中第三段的decline是同义转述，C选项和文中第三段中的are pressed for time是同义转述。故选C。

26．Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile?

A．She can get relaxed after work.

B．She can keep physically fit.

C．She can help with her son&39;s study.

D．She can know her son better.

D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But somewhere over the daily walk more about my son&39;s day comes out.I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits.This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.”可知，作者通过和孩子一起散步，可以更好地了解孩子的生活，得知他对友谊的理解等内心想法。这让作者对儿子有了进一步的了解。故选D。

C

Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate.They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures.The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda，and examining more than 5，000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.

Dr Catherine Hobaiter，who led the research，said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom.Only humans and chimps，she said，had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.

“That&39;s what&39;s so amazing about chimp gestures，” she said.“They&39;re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”

Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal&39;s call，the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages.This was a significant difference between calls and gestures，Dr Hobaiter said.

Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate.In one case，a mother presents her foot to her crying baby，signalling：“Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother&39;s back and they travel off together.“The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there that is meaningful in its communication，so that&39;s not unique to humans，” said Dr Hobaiter.

Dr Susanne Shultz，an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester，said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language.But，she added，the results were “a little disappointing”．

“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate，or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions，” she said. “Moreover，the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with nonverbal communication.So，it seems the gulf remains.”

【语篇导读】　本文主要介绍了研究人员已经破译出野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义。

27．What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?

A．Memorizing specific words.

B．Understanding complex information.

C．Using voices to communicate.

D．Communicating messages on purpose.

D　细节理解题。根据关键词Dr Hobaiter可查找到文章第二段中的“Only humans and chimps，she said，had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.”。由此可知，Dr Hobaiter认为黑猩猩和人类的相似之处在于它们也会有目的地传递信息进行沟通。

28．What did Dr Shultz think of the study?

A．It was well designed but poorly conducted.

B．It was a good try but the findings were limited.

C．It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.

D．It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.

B　细节理解题。根据关键词Dr Shultz可查找到文章第六段中的“ ...said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language.But she added，the results were ‘a little disappointing’．”。由此可知，Dr Shultz认为这项研究丰富了原有的知识，但研究成果有限，还有不足之处。

29．What does the underlined word “gulf ” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Difference. B．Conflict.

C．Balance. D．Connection.

A　词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Moreover，the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with nonverbal communication.”可知，黑猩猩手势传递的信息的含义并没有超出已知的其他动物通过非语言方式所传达的含义，因此和人类的语言交流方式还是存在差异。故推测gulf在此意为“差异”。故选A。

30．Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough

B．Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills

C．Chimpanzees：the smartest species in the animal kingdom

D．Chimpanzee language：communication gestures translated

D　主旨大意题。结合全文可知，文章都是围绕着黑猩猩的语言沟通来进行阐述的。且文章第一句点明了主旨，即研究人员表明他们已经破译出野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义。故D项为最佳标题。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water.You get what you need，head to the front，and choose the line that looks fastest.

You chose wrong.People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. 31

It turns out，it&39;s just math working against you；chances are，the other line really is faster.

Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. 32 Any small interruption—a price check，a chatty customer—can have downstream effects，holding up an entire line.

If there are three lines in the store，delays will happen randomly at different registers.Think about the probability： 33 So it&39;s not just in your mind：Another line probably is moving faster.

Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem.Make all customers stand in one long，snaking line—called a serpentine line—and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 34 This is what they do at most banks and fastfood restaurants.With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won&39;t unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it.Instead，it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.

35 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly，and some stores can&39;t afford the space or manpower.So wherever your next wait may be：Good luck.

A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?

B．So why don&39;t most places encourage serpentine lines?

C．Some of them may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.

D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.

E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?

F．With three registers，this method is much faster than the traditional approach.

G．But sometimes，as on a Sunday afternoon，the system gets particularly busy.

【语篇导读】　本文分析了为什么排队时你总是站在最慢的一队这个有趣的现象。

31．A　上文提到你明明选了看上去最快的队伍，但是那些站在其他队伍中远远在你之后的人都先结账离开了，下文分析这种现象是概率问题。由此可推断此空应是抛出问题“为什么这种事好像总是发生在你身上？”以引出下文，阐明文章主题。故A项符合此处的语境。

32．G　上文讲超市竭力提供更多的收银员以加快结账速度，而下文讲任何一个小的打扰都会让整个队伍变慢。由此可知，空处应与上文是转折关系。分析选项可知，G项符合此处的语境，且与后文构成并列或递进关系，空后一句也是对G项的具体描述，故为正确答案。

33．D　根据空处所在段第一句的内容及空前的Think about the probability可知，此空讲的是你在三个队伍中选择的情况。D项中有one in three，这与前面的three lines呼应，故选D。

34．F　上文提到研究人员发现了一种好的排队方式，下文提到大多数银行和快餐店都采取这种方式。由此可推断空处应讲的是这种好的排队方式的优点。故F项符合此处的语境。

35．B　上文提到这种好的排队方式，下文提到很多商店没有足够的空间和人力实行蛇形排队法，还有作者文末给出的建议是“祝好运”。由此可推断此空应是提出问题：为什么绝大多数地方并没有实行蛇形排队法。故选B。

第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分45分)

第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30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。

I was sent to the Coronado National Forest for my first 8day 42 ．We had to 43 everything we needed and walk three miles to where we worked.It may not seem like a 44 way but in 35 ℃ heat and with a heavy pack，my legs were on fire.

My job was to 45 a stairway out of rock.This 46 climbing up and down the side of a mountain inhabited (栖息) by mountain lions，although I should say they were only heard，never 47 ．

Three days later，a beautiful stairway came into being.The 48 of knowing that my 49 will be on that mountainside for years to come is massive.

But on the last night we were 50 in a thunderstorm.I woke up at midnight to find a swimming pool in my tent.The temperature was close to 51 ．I had to spend the rest of the night trembling in the only 52 part of my tent.

53 ，I suffered a lot.But I know whatever I have to face in my life I was there and I 54 ．I think I am much 55 for having taken part in the project.

【语篇导读】　本文讲述了作者做志愿者的一次经历。在志愿活动的过程中，作者先是在高温下负重前行，接着又搭建阶梯，后来又被困在暴雨中。但作者克服困难，最终使自己变得更强大。

36．D　根据空前一句“Last year I decided to do some volunteer work.”和空后的“on the Internet and discovered Volunteer USA”可知，作者决定参加志愿工作，并在网络上研究。calculate“计算”；negotiate“协商”；advertise“登广告；为……打广告”；research“研究”。故选D。

37．D　根据后文作者确实开始了志愿工作可知，此处不是想象，introduce表示“介绍”，代入句子，不符合语境。下文还提到作者在飞机上是担心的，故也可排除C项。所以，此处表达的是，“发现”自己已经登上了飞往亚利桑那凤凰城的飞机。

38．C　根据下文“at the thought of living with loads of new people for three months”和“my worries had gone”可知，一想到要和一群陌生人一起生活三个月，作者就感到害怕(scared)。scared和worries构成语义上的并列关系。annoyed“烦恼的”；surprised“吃惊的”；scared“害怕的”；excited“兴奋的”。

39．A　根据下文的“Everyone was so ...likeminded”和“feel at home”可知，作者接触到了其他的志愿者，感觉跟在家一样自在，表明这是在到达 (arriving) 目的地十五分钟之内发生的事情。

40．B　根据上文“我”的担心消失了及下文的“likeminded”和“feel at home”可知，大家都很友好(friendly)。confident“自信的”；friendly“友好的”；energetic“精力充沛的”；curious“好奇的”。

41．D　由上文可知，所有人都很友好，志趣相投，因此此处表达的是，很容易(easy)让人有宾至如归的感觉。

42．B　根据文章最后一句中的“for having taken part in the project”可知答案选B。tour“旅行”；project“项目”；campaign“活动”；course“课程”。

43．C　根据下文的“with a heavy pack”可知，作者需要负重前行，携带(carry)所需的一切东西前往工作的地方。故选C。

44．C　根据后面的转折“但是在35度的高温下背着很重的东西，我的腿火辣辣地疼”可知，此处表达的是，尽管只有三英里的路程，看似并不长(long)。

45．A　根据下文的“a beautiful stairway came into being”可知，作者的工作是用岩石建造(build)一个阶梯。故选A。

46．D　根据上文可知，作者的工作是修建阶梯，下文表示的是，在山的一侧爬上爬下。由此可推断，此处是对作者修建阶梯的工作的解释。故用mean(意味着)。

47．C　根据上文“they were only heard”可知，作者只听到美洲狮的声音，却不会见到它们。

48．A　根据上文“a beautiful stairway came into being”可知，阶梯建成了。由常识和语境可知，对这个成果作者有极大的满足感(satisfaction)。satisfaction“满足”；ambition“野心；抱负”；expectation“预期；期望”；intention“意图”。故选A。

49．A　根据第三段的第一句“My job was to ...”和上文中的“a beautiful stairway came into being”可知，修建阶梯是作者的工作，知道自己的工作成果将会在未来的很多年里出现在那个山坡上，这给作者带来了巨大的满足感。work在此是“作品；工作成果”的意思。

50．B　根据下文“I woke up at midnight to find a swimming pool in my tent.”可知，作者一行人在最后一晚“遭遇”了雷雨。be caught in“遭遇；陷入”。故选B。

51．D　根据下文“I had to spend the rest of the night trembling”可知，后半夜作者冻得瑟瑟发抖。由此可知，温度很低，接近“冰点”。boiling“沸点”；average“平均”；normal“正常”；freezing“冰点”。故选D。

52．B　根据上文可知，作者一行人遭遇了雷雨，帐篷像游泳池一样，所以作者只能蜷缩在帐篷干燥的(dry)那一小部分。故选B。

53．C　根据上文作者的遭遇：在美洲狮栖息的山坡上修建阶梯和夜晚遭遇雷雨、帐篷漏水可知，这里应是承接上文，表示毋庸置疑(Needless to say)，作者在参与志愿活动项目期间吃了很多苦。by the way“顺便说一下”；regardless of that“不管；不顾”；needless to say“毋庸置疑”；in either case“不论发生何种情况”。故选C。

54．A　根据上文作者在参与志愿活动项目时吃了很多苦，但是都坚持了下来可知，作者知道，无论在生活中要面对什么，他都“挺过来”了。survive在此意为“熬过；挺过”。resist“反抗”；escape“逃离”；recover“恢复”。

55．B　根据上文可知，各种困难作者都坚持下来了，所以该项目使得作者更强大(stronger)了。

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

In a study of 33 years of trends in Body Mass Index (体重指数) across 200 countries，the scientists found that people worldwide are getting heavier 56. that most of the rise is due to gains in BMI in rural areas.

BMI is an internationally recognized measurement tool 57. gives an indication of whether someone is a healthy weight.It is calculated by dividing a 58. (person) weight in kg by their height in meters squared，and a BMI of between 19 and 25 59. (consider) healthy.

The study found that between 1985 and 2017，average rural BMI increased 60. 2.1 in women and men.In cities，however，the gain 61. (be) 1.3 in women and 1.6 in men.The researchers described “striking changes” in the geography of BMI.In 1985，urban men and women in more than three quarters of the countries 62. (study) had higher BMIs than men and women in rural areas.But 30 years later，the BMI difference between urban and rural people in many countries had narrowed 63. (sharp)．

This may be due to some disadvantages for people 64. (live) in the countryside，including 65. (low) levels of income and education，higher costs of healthy foods，and fewer sports facilities.

【语篇导读】　本文主要讲述农村地区的BIM相比城市地区上升得太快，主要是因为农村人口的生活方式不太健康，受教育程度不是很高。

56．and　考查连词。分析句子可知，此空前后连接两个that引导的宾语从句，且根据句意可知，前后两个从句是并列关系，故填并列连词and。

57．that/which　考查定语从句。根据句意和句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，并在定语从句中作主语，而先行词tool为物，故此处要填关系代词that或which。

58．person&39;s　考查名词所有格。此空后接名词，且根据句意“它的计算方法是用一个人的体重公斤数除以身高米数的平方……”，故此处填person的所有格形式。

59．is considered　考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，此空是句子的谓语；根据前半句的It is可判断时态为一般现在时，且根据句意“19到25之间的BMI(体重指数)被认为是健康值”可知，BMI与consider之间为动宾关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态。

60．by　考查介词。根据第一段和上文的a BMI of between 19 and 25可知，这里是说在1985年至2017年间，农村女性和男性的平均BMI值“增加了”2.1，故此处填介词by。

61．was　考查时态。此处是在讲1985年至2017年间城市中人们BMI值增加的情况，是描述过去发生的事情，且上一句描述当时农村情况时用一般过去时，故空处所在句也应用一般过去时，故填was。

62．studied　考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，该句谓语动词为had，故此空考查study的非谓语动词形式，此处作countries的后置定语；而countries与study之间为动宾关系，故填studied。

63．sharply　考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词had narrowed，应用副词sharply。

64．living　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处应填live的非谓语动词形式，此处作people的后置定语；而people与live之间为主谓关系，故填living。

65．lower　考查形容词比较级。此处and连接三个并列结构，形式应保持一致；由higher与fewer可知，此处应填low的比较级lower。

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition.We visit a local farm every October.In the pumpkin field，I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin.My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home，and as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85pounder back last year.

This year，it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14yearold brother，Jason，was the winner.Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides，but I was determined to prove my point.All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table，with my mom filming the annual event.I&39;m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter，but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.

With the pumpkin resting on the table，hole uppermost，I bent over and pressed my head against the opening.At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then，as I went on with my task，unwilling to quit，my nose briefly prevented entry.Finally I managed to put my whole head into it，like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle.I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.

My excitement was shortlived.The pumpkin was heavy.“I&39;m going to set it down，now，” I said，and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest．It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in.When I pulled hard，my nose got in the way.I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle，but it was no use. “I can&39;t get it out！” I shouted，my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.

注意：

1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1：

I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer.

Paragraph 2：

That video was posted the day before Halloween.

【参考范文】

Paragraph 1：

I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer.Growing more panic，I began to cry.Fortunately，hearing me crying，dad came and helped me lay my head on the table，so my neck could rest for a while.Then he said to me “Listen，honey.I have to cut this pumpkin in half.” I had no choice but to keep still with my eyes tightly closed and listening to the knife moving on the pumpkin.Moments later，my head was finally released from this horrible pumpkin cage.Then mom told me she had just filmed me managing to pull my head out of the pumpkin.

Paragraph 2：

That video was posted the day before Halloween.Actually my mom had asked whether she could post it on the Internet，because after all I was so embarrassed and looked so silly in it.Anyway，I nodded and supported her idea.It turned out that people liked and forwarded it crazily on the Internet，only to make me an Internet celebrity.

Hello，everyone.Today I&39;ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation.Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers，followed by grammar，in effective spoken English.However，most people don&39;t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills.They&39;re more focused on vocabulary.One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it&39;s important to first find out the words you mispronounce.You should listen to experts，by experts，I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes.When listening to them，pay attention to words that sound strange，because you pronounce the same words differently.When you come across such words，check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations.You can also search for difficulttopronounce words and names，and make a list of them.The last suggestion is to read aloud.Now you&39;ve got the correct pronunciations of the words，it&39;s time to practice reading them every day.

W：Sam，I listened to a lecture last night at the art gallery and the artist told us that we don&39;t need to be professional to give our home a new look.

M：So，did the artist say how to do it exactly？I&39;m about to decorate my house.

W：Yes，I have noted down a few of the creative ways he talked about.

M：I&39;d love to hear about them.For example，should I redesign the entrance to my home?

W：Yeah，it&39;s important.And it&39;s the first thing people will see when they visit.It should reflect the design of the rest of your house.Depending on your budget，you might want to give your front door a fresh coat of paint.

M：Mm，I&39;ll consider that.Another thing is I have a big table in my dining room that no one ever sits at.

W：Yeah.Some people never use their dining tables.So why hold onto them？Replace the big table with a smaller round table.

M：That&39;s a good idea.The whole family will still be able to sit there and it won&39;t feel quite as polished.

W：Yes，and all these creative ways can be finished on your own to suit your design style and personal taste.

Many students ask me about how to understand，and enjoy the experience of concert going.So today，I&39;d like to take some time to talk about it.First of all，a live concert is totally different from listening to recordings.In a live performance，what is performed，how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance，these exist for only a very short moment and can never be repeated.As an audience responds to the excitement of such moments，feelings are exchanged between stage and hall.You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds of performing groups.Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible，free or at a relatively low price and often of high quality.Announcements of such concerts will be found in the newspaper of our university.Performances outside the university are announced in local newspapers.These concerts tend to be more expensive but discount tickets are often available for students.Though tickets can usually be bought on the day or night of a concert，you have a wide choice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internet.If possible，prepare for a concert by listening to some of the works to be performed and by reading about the musicians.

W：Well Daniel，have you ever felt nervous on stage?

W：Hello，ladies and gentlemen！Today，we have invited Prof.Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society.Welcome to our show，Prof.Stone.

M：To begin with，I&39;d like to tell a story from my own life.Several years ago，when my grandparents were well into their 80s，they were no longer able to care for themselves very well.My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years.The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them.Indeed，old age for them，and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one&39;s health，but the loss of identity and selfworth.

W：Yes，it&39;s true.What do you have to say about the problem of old age?

M：Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care，and the development of public services for senior citizens.Today，I&39;d like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society.

Talking about personal relationships，well，I&39;d naturally think of my relationship with my mother.Whenever I need help，my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want，as long as I&39;m confident of myself.She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can.As I was growing up，we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely.But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy.In fact，so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close.I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child，but as an equal.She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break，I know I&39;ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face.She is not just a role model，but someone I love.
