My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A. Better safe than sorry. B. It never rains but it pours. C. A lost chance never returns. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 25. What was the author doing when water flooded in? A. Celebrating his birthday. B. Sleeping in the basement. C. Placing sandbags by the door. D. Playing with electronic devices. 26. Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A. Making his way to the door. B. Finding a coat rack. C. Keeping the door from shutting. D. Squeezing through the gap. 27. How did the author feel when standing on the street? A. Sad and shocked. B. Annoyed and anxious. C. Surprised and disappointed. D. Puzzled and awkward. C Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, but also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he wanted to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to change according to his age. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a match for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he has not suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 28. What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He seldom exercised when he was young. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 29. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To make a living B. To help change his diet. C. To cheer up his wife. D. To recover from illness. 30. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Understanding: A Secret to Happiness D. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport. Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland. All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed (评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index, and the average well-being score for all participants was 17. The researchers divided sports participation into low (0 — 3.5 hours a week), average (3.6 — 10.5 hours), high (10.6 — 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores. Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers. The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce recommendations on sports practice for teenagers. 32. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful. 33. What do the researchers find out? A. Low sports participation causes overweight. B. The sports participation is divided into four levels. C. The highest well-being scores are gotten in the “high” group. D. The average well-being score of teenagers between 16 and 20 in Switzerland is 17. 34. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A health magazine. C. A business report. D. A fitness diary. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being. B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers’ well-being. C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers’ well-being. D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers’ well-being. 第二节(共 5 小题 ;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Art has been described in popular culture as something only particularly educated or wealthy people can enjoy.

Just when millions of people are getting ready for the Christmas holiday, three storms are expected to make problems for holiday travelers. None of the storms will be strong, but the cold air will make traveling difficult. The first storm will arrive on this weekend. It will bring rain to the northeast, but warm air in New York City might cause some fog and low clouds. It will be hard for drivers to see the road clearly. Later in the week, snow will come to the northwest states, with three inches falling in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And a few days later, just when the New Year’s celebrations are scheduled, Boston will be covered with freezing rain. The ice will cause problems for anyone trying to travel on foot, with one inch of ice expected on city roads. New Year’s will be cold in Chicago, too, with a strong wind blowing water from the river onto anyone hoping to celebrate by the water. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题 ;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中， 选出最佳选项。 A With more than 2.5 million visitors annually, Olympic National Park is a most popular park in the US.

My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 24. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A. Better safe than sorry. B. It never rains but it pours. C. A lost chance never returns. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 25. What was the author doing when water flooded in? A. Celebrating his birthday. B. Sleeping in the basement. C. Placing sandbags by the door. D. Playing with electronic devices. 26. Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A. Making his way to the door. B. Finding a coat rack. C. Keeping the door from shutting. D. Squeezing through the gap. 27. How did the author feel when standing on the street? A. Sad and shocked. B. Annoyed and anxious. C. Surprised and disappointed. D. Puzzled and awkward. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次脱险经历。由于连下大雨，使得河流决堤，爆发了洪水，殃及到作者所居住的区域。尽管作者提前做好了“抗洪”准备，但是，洪水的破坏力还是使得作者的家，以及该区域一片狼藉。幸运的是，作者逃生并幸存了下来。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句以及前一句“Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? (尽管如此，我还是在花园门外的地板上放了沙袋，把电子设备放在桌子上。“傻弟弟！”我的朋友们嘲笑我那么做，但我想，为什么要冒这个险？)”可知，作者做好了迎接洪水的准备，还被朋友嘲笑，but表示转折，因此推断作者认为，这样做应该是更安全，防患于未然，因此画线句表示“安全总比后悔好”。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall.(就在我迷迷糊糊睡着的时候，我被哗哗的水声惊醒了，仿佛我正躺在瀑布旁边。)”和第四段的“In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. (光着脚，我开始向唯一的出口走去：通往楼上主楼的那扇门。)”可知，当洪水涌入的时候，作者正睡在地下室。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.(最后，我终于走到门口，试了好几次，想把它拉开一点，但湍急的水流又把它关上了。我四处寻找能让它继续开着的东西。角落里有一个衣架。我拿过它，再一次打开门，把衣架扔在门和镜框之间，以防门关上。最后，我设法弄出了一个刚好能挤进去进入走廊的缺口。)”可知，在逃生过程中，对于作者来说最困难的是保持门不要关上。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!(曾经令人愉快的街道现在变成了一片汪洋，到处都是漂浮的废墟，而不是人和车。洪水淹没了附近的人！)”可知，作者站在曾经令人愉快的大街上，洪水淹没了一切，因此推断作者此时的心情是悲哀和震惊的。故选A。 C Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, but also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he wanted to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to change according to his age. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a match for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he has not suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 28. What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B He seldom exercised when he was young. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. 29. Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To make a living B. To help change his diet. C. To cheer up his wife. D. To recover from illness. 30. What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Understanding: A Secret to Happiness D. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了健美运动员Kanazawa退役后一度养成不健康的生活方式，后来为了取悦妻子重新锻炼，老年又获得成功的故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired(退休) at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. (Kanazawa在年轻时曾是健美冠军，但在34岁退休后，他完全停止了锻炼，开始喝酒、抽烟，想吃什么就吃什么。)”可知，Kanazawa退役后养成了不健康的生活方式。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So, to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. (Kanazawa的妻子经常生病，这位前健美运动员记得，当他赢得全国冠军时，她从来没有像现在那样快乐过。所以，为了取悦她，他决定回到健身房，彻底改变他的饮食习惯。)”可知，Kanazawa为了使他的妻子高兴起来决定重新开始锻炼。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. (年轻时，他每天在健身房训练长达6个小时，经过特别密集的锻炼后，他的身体会在两天内恢复，但现在情况已经不同了。他将每天的健身时间减少到3小时，并开始在锻炼完所有肌肉群后给身体一周的时间来恢复。)”可知，老Kanazawa在重新锻炼他的身体时把放松和锻炼结合起来。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Kanazawa is a living example that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. (Kanazawa是一个活生生的例子，你永远不会因为年龄太大而不能去健身房，实现你一直梦想的身材。)”可知， Kanazawa的故事说明了不能因为年龄太大而不进行健身。A.“健身：没有年龄限制”符合主题，故选A项。 D Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport. Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers. However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health. To reach their findings, the researchers surveyed more than 1,245 teenagers aged between 16 and 20 from Switzerland. All participants were required to answer questions on height and weight, sports practice, sports injuries and well-being. Their well-being was assessed (评估) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Well-Being Index, and the average well-being score for all participants was 17. The researchers divided sports participation into low (0 — 3.5 hours a week), average (3.6 — 10.5 hours), high (10.6 — 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores. Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers. The researchers suggest that their study stresses the importance for physicians caring for teenagers to check their level of sports practice and ask them about their well-being. Teenagers probably need a supportive and closer follow-up of their health and well-being. The findings can provide information for guideline groups who produce recommendations on sports practice for teenagers. 32. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useless. B. Important. C. Reasonable. D. Harmful. 33. What do the researchers find out? A. Low sports participation causes overweight. B. The sports participation is divided into four levels. C. The highest well-being scores are gotten in the “high” group. D. The average well-being score of teenagers between 16 and 20 in Switzerland is 17. 34. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A research paper. B. A health magazine. C. A business report. D. A fitness diary. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Measures to improve teenagers’ well-being. B. Concerns of physicians about teenagers’ well-being. C. Importance of physical activities on teenagers’ well-being. D. Relationship between sports participation and teenagers’ well-being. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了瑞士的一项研究发现，对于青少年来说，每周进行14小时的体育活动最有益于健康，而超过这个时间则可能对他们的健康产生负面影响。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Researchers from Switzerland say their study suggests that 14 hours of physical activity a week is best for promoting good health in teenagers.(来自瑞士的研究人员表示，他们的研究表明，每周14小时的体育活动对促进青少年的健康是最好的)”和第一段中“But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.(但新的研究表明，青少年运动过多和运动过少一样会对他们的健康产生负面影响)”说明研究表明每周14小时的体育活动最好，过多也会有害健康，从而推知划线词句“However, they found that more than 14 hours appears to be detrimental to their health.(然而，他们发现，超过14小时的运动看来对他们的健康detrimental)”可知，划线部分意思是“有害的”。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers divided sports participation into low (0 —3.5 hours a week), average (3.6 — 10.5 hours), high (10.6 — 17.5 hours), and very high (more than 17.5 hours). The researchers found that participants in the low and very high activity groups were more than twice as likely to have well-being scores below 13, compared with participants in the average group. The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores.(研究人员将参与体育活动分为低（每周0-3.5小时）、平均（3.6 -10.5小时）、高（10.6 - 17.5小时）和非常高（超过17.5小时）。研究人员发现，与平均水平组的参与者相比，低运动量组和高运动量组的参与者幸福感得分低于13分的可能性是后者的两倍多。研究人员发现，每周锻炼14小时左右的人幸福感得分最高，但超过14小时的锻炼会导致幸福感得分较低)”可知，研究人员发现幸福感得分最高的是“高”组。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Teenagers have long been told that being active and taking part in various sports is good for their health. But new research suggests that too much sport for teenagers could negatively affect their well-being just as much as too little sport.(青少年一直被告知积极参加各种体育运动对他们的健康有好处。但新的研究表明，青少年运动过多和运动过少一样会对他们的健康产生负面影响)”可知，本文是一篇有关青少年健康的文章，应该取自健康杂志。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第四段中“The researchers found that the highest well-being scores were gotten by participants who carried cut around 14 hours of physical activity a week, but exercising beyond 14 hours resulted in lower well-being scores.(研究人员发现，每周锻炼14小时左右的人幸福感得分最高，但超过14小时的锻炼会导致幸福感得分较低)”以及第五段“Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been connected with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-respect in teenagers.(在评论他们的研究结果时，研究人员表示，体育活动与积极的情绪健康、减少悲伤、焦虑和压力障碍以及提高青少年的自尊有关)”可知，这篇文章的主要内容是参加体育活动与青少年幸福感的关系。故选D项。 第二节(共 5 小题 ;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Art has been described in popular culture as something only particularly educated or wealthy people can enjoy.

Genres are basically categories. ____39____ In painting, the established and well-known genres include landscape, portraiture, still life and so on. Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. Art movements were rises in popularity of certain ways of creating art. An art school is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same region, who all have a similar style or subject matter.

However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.(在流行文化中，艺术被描述为只有受过特别教育或富有的人才能享受的东西。然而，这与事实相去甚远)”提到大多数人对于艺术的态度，并对这一态度进行了反对，故后文应该是对自己持的“反对态度”给出相应的解释。F项“只要花点时间和精力，任何人都可以欣赏艺术。”符合段意。故选F项。 【37题详解】 本句为本段主旨句。下文“Artists often create works to comment on major historical events, and this can give us a window into their unique perspective.(艺术家经常创作作品来评论重大历史事件，这可以让我们了解他们独特的视角)”提到本段关键词historical events即“历史事件”，所以空处应与“历史”有关。G项“了解艺术产生时的历史背景。”符合段意。故选G项。 【38题详解】 上文“For example, Pablo Picasso’s Guernica (1937) was created in response to the bombings during the Spanish Civil War.(例如，巴勃罗·毕加索的《格尔尼卡》(1937年)就是为了回应西班牙内战期间的轰炸而创作的)”有关键词war“战争”，故空处需要填与“战争”相关的选项，用于承接上文。A项“它充满了反战精神。”符合段意。故选A项。 【39题详解】 上文“Find out the genre(类型) of the painting. If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what genre it belongs to can be helpful. Genres are basically categories.

After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的)!!” The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way.
