Moreover, everyone understands it in their own way. Some find relief in poems; some read them simply for peace; some read poems for simple artistic pleasure. There are some special features of poetry, which make it quite different from other forms of literature. First of all, poems have rhythmic patterns. Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm. Poems may have rhyme, but they don’t have to. The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion. There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form, there are mainly three types: Lyrics (抒情诗) : The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story. Lyrics always bear song-like appeal. These are mainly short poems. Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy (挽歌), the ode (颂歌) and the sonnet (十四行诗). William Shakespeare, Edmund Waller and Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times. Narrative poems: This type of poetry tells a story. Narrative poems are usually long poems. Epics (史诗) and ballads fall under this type. Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton, Dante, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, William Shakespeare, etc. Dramatic poems: Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem. These poems generally tell a story. Black verse, dramatic monologues and closet drama belong to this type. William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the great dramatic poets. Whatever the form is, one thing, which cannot be denied, is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings. 1. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. Poetry is the most important art form. B. People write poems for fun. C. People read poems for different purposes. D. Everyone can write poems. 2. Which of the following belongs to narrative poetry? A. The elegy. B. The dramatic monologues. C. The epic. D. The ode. 3. This passage is written mainly to ______. A. tell us some simple facts about poetry B. teach us how to write poems C. give some advice on reading poems D. make us interested in poems B When I was 13, I climbed my first mountain — a fairly gentle 3,900-foot peak. I was overweight at the time and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved challenging myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy that I finally found a hobby. I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen. She and I drove to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 am. At around 9 am, we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. I gained a sense of the ice when I stuck my ax and crampons (鞋底钉) into it, and it felt good. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and as the snowpack became thinner, a whole piece of ice broke off the step, right under my foot. In an instant, I fell backward, bouncing off the rock face and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking: This is it. You’re done. I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything. That stopped my rolling down the mountain, but I was still sliding. After a few seconds, I came to a stop on a shallow slope. I asked myself: Where are you? Mount Hood. What’s the date? December 30. Good. My brain was functioning. Then I checked my body to see where I was hurt. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a sharp pain in my left leg. Later I’d learn that I’d broken my femur (大腿骨) and that the bone was slicing into my skin and muscle. At the bottom of Mount Hood, I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital. The doctors told me it would be a year before I could climb again, but I was back on the trails within six months. 4. Why did the author and her friend set out at 3 am? A. It was the best time to enjoy scenery. B. It was more challenging to climb at night. C. They hoped to avoid some possible dangers. D. They wanted to finish the climb before sunset. 5. Why is “a character in a video game” mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To show her strong character. B. To make her idea more convincing. C. To help readers imagine the scene. D. To add to the humor of the description. 6. How did the author make sure she could still think clearly? A By recalling what had happened. B. By checking whether she was injured. C. By calling an ambulance for rescue. D. By asking herself some factual questions. 7. What can we learn about the author? A. She is too brave to pay attention to any danger. B. Adversities can’t stop her from challenging herself. C. The love for nature sets her apart from her friend. D. She has a strong desire for professional knowledge. C Octopuses (章鱼) in the wild have often been observed changing their skin color to catch their food or avoid being caught. Now, for the first time, a researcher has shot an attractive video of octopus called Heidi rapidly changing into a quantity of colors while dreaming. The video, part of Octopus: Making Contact, a documentary first shown on PBS on October 2, 2019. was shot by a fish lover David Scheel, who has raised Heidi in a fish tank since she was young. The professor at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage believes that the octopus — whose skin went from pale gray to ghostly white to deep dark violet, before changing into a greenish-brown camouflage (伪装) pattern — was dreaming of catching her next meal. “She’s asleep; she sees a crab (螃蟹), and her color starts to change a little bit,” Scheel says in the video. “Then she turns all dark. Octopuses will do that when they leave the bottom.” He adds. “This is a camouflage as she’s just caught a crab, and now she’s going to sit there and eat it, and she doesn’t want anyone to notice her. If she’s dreaming, that’s the dream.” Scheel’s theory about Heidi’s pleasant dream originates from the fact that animals with the ability to camouflage have never been observed changing colors so abruptly while sleeping. The hour-long documentary, which tracks Scheel’s developing relationship with the octopus, also shows Heidi’s other skills. She enjoys playing with small toys, watching television — particularly The Big Bang Theory — and solving puzzles. The talented octopus can also escape from small spaces, use tools, and even press a button on a remote control. Like any smart family pet, Heidi recognizes Scheel and his teenage daughter Laura and excitedly rushes to her tank’s side in greeting every time either comes close. 8. What is the octopus doing in the video? A. Hunting. B. Hiding. C. Dining. D. Sleeping. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The relationship between Scheel and Heidi. B. Scheel’s guessing about the dream of Heidi. C. The octopus’ daily activities in a fish tank. D. The research results about octopuses’ dream. 10. What do we know about the documentary? A It is about an octopus and her host Scheel. B. It is filmed and produced by Laura. C. It records an octopus’ dream content. D. It shows octopuses change colors when hunting. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. An Octopus Changes Colors While Sleeping B. An Important Discovery Shown on PBS C. A Documentary About an Octopus’ Life Habit D. A Fish Lover Raises an Amazing Octopus D Buying furniture is easier than ever. You can even order a new table and chairs online without ever leaving home. But did you ever think about how furniture is made? The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velasquez-Garcia said, “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.” The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. While there is still a long way to go to actually grow a table, the team was able to grow structures from cells from zinnia leaves. Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests. “The way we get these materials hasn’t changed in centuries and is very inefficient,” said Velasquez-Garcia. “This is a real chance to avoid all that inefficiency.” There are other benefits to using lab wood too. Lab grown wood can be handled to take on any shape — like 3 D printing — so it may be possible to build a table without glue or screwing parts together. Beckwith, a mechanical engineering PhD student, was inspired by a visit to a farm to try to make land-use more efficient and environmentally sound. “That got me thinking: Can we be more strategic (战略上的) about what we’re getting out of our process? Can we get more yield for our inputs?” she told MIT News. “I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.” Today, the two largest uses of trees are to make wood products and paper. When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value. These researchers, like Velasquez-Garcia, are speaking for the trees. 12. What does the author think of growing furniture according to Paragraph 1? A. It turns out to be convenient. B. It’ll cut down daily expense. C. It might have a bright future. D. It’s as important as making furniture. 13. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Risk. B. Fancy. C. Remove. D. Delay. 14. What is the purpose of Beckwith’s growing furniture? A. To make large profits. B. To keep biodiversity. C. To increase production. D. To use wild resources. 15. What’s the key to protecting forests? A. Wide use of new biomaterials. B. Less use of wood products and paper. C. Making effective forest laws. D. Caring more for the environment. 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。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

We searched the plant for a whole day, but without luck. We found nothing. As it got dark, I asked Roy to go back, but he refused and said, “I would rather sleep on the mountain tonight and continue to search tomorrow! ” I desired to go home but I lacked the courage to go back alone, so I chose to stay and help Roy put up a simple tent under a tree. It was freezing cold on the mountain and there were scores of mosquitoes, which made it impossible for us to have a good sleep. What’s worse, we heard a wolf howling nearby! I was so scared. “I heard that wolves bully(欺负)the weak and fear the strong, ” Roy told me. “Let’s strike the shovel(铲子)and shout to scare it away! ” He found a stone and started to strike the shovel. And then he shouted as he struck the shovel. Inspired, I followed him to shout loudly. Half an hour later, I felt cold all over the body. And the cold air on the mountain made that worse. My stomach began to ache. I lay in the tent, shivering, sweating and then falling unconscious. Roy was shocked with panic. He called my name screamingly, but I just made no response. He tried to put me on his back to carry me home but without success. At last, he went out and found some tree branches and blocked up the entrance to our tent with them. Then, he ran to the direction of our village as fast as he could. Not knowing how much time went by, I heard some sounds approaching near. I thought it was Roy but I didn’t hear him saying anything. In a shock, I sat up with a rush. At that moment, my eyes had adjusted to the darkness. Through a hole of our tent, I saw two animals like dogs removing the tree branches with their mouths and claws.

I was overweight at the time and out of breath when I reached the summit. But I loved challenging myself. Soon I’d climbed nearly 100 peaks. My parents were happy that I finally found a hobby. I often go climbing with my friend Mel Olsen. She and I drove to tackle 11,240-foot Mount Hood. It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. That day, we started at 3 am. At around 9 am, we reached an ice step. It was about three or four feet tall and sloped at a 75-degree angle. I volunteered to go first. I placed my left foot on the ice step. I gained a sense of the ice when I stuck my ax and crampons (鞋底钉) into it, and it felt good. Confident I was safe, I put my full weight on it. Suddenly, I heard a crack, and as the snowpack became thinner, a whole piece of ice broke off the step, right under my foot. In an instant, I fell backward, bouncing off the rock face and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. I remember thinking: This is it. You’re done. I stuck out my arms and legs, grabbing at anything. That stopped my rolling down the mountain, but I was still sliding. After a few seconds, I came to a stop on a shallow slope. I asked myself: Where are you? Mount Hood. What’s the date? December 30. Good. My brain was functioning. Then I checked my body to see where I was hurt. For the most part, I was fine, except that I was suffering from a sharp pain in my left leg. Later I’d learn that I’d broken my femur (大腿骨) and that the bone was slicing into my skin and muscle. At the bottom of Mount Hood, I was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital. The doctors told me it would be a year before I could climb again, but I was back on the trails within six months. 4. Why did the author and her friend set out at 3 am? A. It was the best time to enjoy scenery. B. It was more challenging to climb at night. C. They hoped to avoid some possible dangers. D. They wanted to finish the climb before sunset. 5. Why is “a character in a video game” mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To show her strong character. B. To make her idea more convincing. C. To help readers imagine the scene. D. To add to the humor of the description. 6. How did the author make sure she could still think clearly? A. By recalling what had happened. B. By checking whether she was injured. C. By calling an ambulance for rescue. D. By asking herself some factual questions. 7. What can we learn about the author? A. She is too brave to pay attention to any danger. B. Adversities can’t stop her from challenging herself. C. The love for nature sets her apart from her friend. D. She has a strong desire for professional knowledge. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者13岁首次登山，后攀登近百峰。胡德山攀登中滑倒摔伤，大腿骨折，六个月后重返山道。 【4题详解】 细节理解断题。根据第二段“It’s safer to start winter climbs at night when there’s less risk of the sun melting the snowpack. (在夜间开始冬季攀登比较安全，因为太阳融化积雪的风险较小。)”可知，当白天爬山时，积雪被太阳融化掉的风险较大，所以作者和朋友选择凌晨出发是为了避免可能发生的危险，故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In an instant, I fell backward, bouncing off the rock face and rolling down the mountain as if I were a character in a video game. (刹那间，我向后摔倒，从岩壁上弹回来，滚下了山，就好像我是电子游戏里的一个角色。)”， 作者通过使用"as if"这种虚拟语气，引导读者将自己置身于文中描述的情境中，利用自己的想象力去体验和感受作者所经历的危险时刻。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I asked myself: Where are you? Mount Hood. What’s the date? December 30. Good. (我自问自答：你在哪里？胡德山。日期是什么时候？12月30日。好的。)”可知，作者用自问自答的方式确定自己的大脑在事故后的意识状况，故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The doctors told me it would be a year before I could climb again, but I was back on the trails within six months. (医生告诉我，我需要一年的时间才能再次登山，但我在六个月内就重新踏上了登山之路。)”以及全文可知，困难和挫折都不能阻挡作者挑战自我的脚步，B项(逆境无法阻止她挑战自我)符合题意，故选B项。 C Octopuses (章鱼) in the wild have often been observed changing their skin color to catch their food or avoid being caught. Now, for the first time, a researcher has shot an attractive video of octopus called Heidi rapidly changing into a quantity of colors while dreaming. The video, part of Octopus: Making Contact, a documentary first shown on PBS on October 2, 2019. was shot by a fish lover David Scheel, who has raised Heidi in a fish tank since she was young. The professor at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage believes that the octopus — whose skin went from pale gray to ghostly white to deep dark violet, before changing into a greenish-brown camouflage (伪装) pattern — was dreaming of catching her next meal. “She’s asleep; she sees a crab (螃蟹), and her color starts to change a little bit,” Scheel says in the video. “Then she turns all dark. Octopuses will do that when they leave the bottom.” He adds. “This is a camouflage as she’s just caught a crab, and now she’s going to sit there and eat it, and she doesn’t want anyone to notice her. If she’s dreaming, that’s the dream.” Scheel’s theory about Heidi’s pleasant dream originates from the fact that animals with the ability to camouflage have never been observed changing colors so abruptly while sleeping. The hour-long documentary, which tracks Scheel’s developing relationship with the octopus, also shows Heidi’s other skills. She enjoys playing with small toys, watching television — particularly The Big Bang Theory — and solving puzzles. The talented octopus can also escape from small spaces, use tools, and even press a button on a remote control. Like any smart family pet, Heidi recognizes Scheel and his teenage daughter Laura and excitedly rushes to her tank’s side in greeting every time either comes close. 8. What is the octopus doing in the video? A. Hunting. B. Hiding. C. Dining. D. Sleeping. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The relationship between Scheel and Heidi. B. Scheel’s guessing about the dream of Heidi. C. The octopus’ daily activities in a fish tank. D. The research results about octopuses’ dream. 10. What do we know about the documentary? A. It is about an octopus and her host Scheel. B. It is filmed and produced by Laura. C. It records an octopus’ dream content. D. It shows octopuses change colors when hunting. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. An Octopus Changes Colors While Sleeping B. An Important Discovery Shown on PBS C. A Documentary About an Octopus’ Life Habit D. A Fish Lover Raises an Amazing Octopus 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了谢尔拍摄了一部纪录片，记录一只章鱼在睡觉的时候会改变颜色。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now, for the first time, a researcher has shot an attractive video of octopus called Heidi rapidly changing into a quantity of colors while dreaming.(现在，一位研究人员第一次拍摄了一段迷人的视频：一只名叫海蒂的章鱼在做梦时迅速变换成各种颜色)”可知，视频中的章鱼在睡觉。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“‘She’s asleep; she sees a crab (螃蟹), and her color starts to change a little bit,’ Scheel says in the video. ‘Then she turns all dark. Octopuses will do that when they leave the bottom.’ He adds. ‘This is a camouflage as she’s just caught a crab, and now she’s going to sit there and eat it, and she doesn’t want anyone to notice her. If she’s dreaming, that’s the dream.’ Scheel’s theory about Heidi’s pleasant dream originates from the fact that animals with the ability to camouflage have never been observed changing colors so abruptly while sleeping.(“她睡着了；她看到了一只螃蟹，然后她的颜色就开始发生了一点变化。”舍尔在视频中说。“然后她就变黑了。章鱼离开海底时会这么做。”他补充道。“这是一种伪装，因为她刚刚抓到了一只螃蟹，现在她要坐在那里吃它，她不想让任何人注意到她。如果她在做梦，那就是梦。”希尔关于海蒂的愉快梦的理论源于这样一个事实：有伪装能力的动物从未被观察到在睡觉时颜色变化如此突然)”可推知，本段主要介绍了舍尔对章鱼的梦的猜测。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The hour-long documentary, which tracks Scheel’s developing relationship with the octopus, also shows Heidi’s other skills.(这部长达一小时的纪录片记录了希尔和章鱼的关系发展，还展示了海蒂的其他技能)”可知，纪录片主要是关于章鱼和它的主人谢尔的故事。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“Now, for the first time, a researcher has shot an attractive video of octopus called Heidi rapidly changing into a quantity of colors while dreaming.(现在，一位研究人员第一次拍摄了一段迷人的视频：一只名叫海蒂的章鱼在做梦时迅速变换成各种颜色)”可知，本文主要介绍了一只在做梦时迅速变换成各种颜色的章鱼，所以“An Octopus Changes Colors While Sleeping (章鱼睡觉时会变色)”是最佳标题。故选A项。 D Buying furniture is easier than ever. You can even order a new table and chairs online without ever leaving home. But did you ever think about how furniture is made? The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velasquez-Garcia said, “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.” The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. While there is still a long way to go to actually grow a table, the team was able to grow structures from cells from zinnia leaves. Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests. “The way we get these materials hasn’t changed in centuries and is very inefficient,” said Velasquez-Garcia. “This is a real chance to avoid all that inefficiency.” There are other benefits to using lab wood too. Lab grown wood can be handled to take on any shape — like 3 D printing — so it may be possible to build a table without glue or screwing parts together. Beckwith, a mechanical engineering PhD student, was inspired by a visit to a farm to try to make land-use more efficient and environmentally sound. “That got me thinking: Can we be more strategic (战略上的) about what we’re getting out of our process? Can we get more yield for our inputs?” she told MIT News. “I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.” Today, the two largest uses of trees are to make wood products and paper. When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value. These researchers, like Velasquez-Garcia, are speaking for the trees. 12. What does the author think of growing furniture according to Paragraph 1? A. It turns out to be convenient. B. It’ll cut down daily expense. C. It might have a bright future. D. It’s as important as making furniture. 13. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Risk. B. Fancy. C. Remove. D. Delay. 14. What is the purpose of Beckwith’s growing furniture? A. To make large profits. B. To keep biodiversity. C. To increase production. D. To use wild resources. 15. What’s the key to protecting forests? A. Wide use of new biomaterials. B. Less use of wood products and paper. C. Making effective forest laws. D. Caring more for the environment. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家发现在实验室中培育植物组织、木材和纤维的方法和这一发现可能产生的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The process begins with trees but now researchers have found a better way: growing it in a lab instead of a forest. Instead of cutting down trees and adding to deforestation, Velasquez-Garcia said, “If you want a table, then you should just grow a table.”(这个过程从树木开始，但现在研究人员发现了一个更好的方法：在实验室里而不是在森林里生长。Velasquez-Garcia说：“如果你想要一张桌子，那么你应该自己种一张桌子。”)”可推知，作者认为种植家具更环保，是更好的选择，所以可能会有一个光明的未来。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The research group found a way to actually grow plant tissue (组织) — wood and fiber — in a lab that is similar to the way cultured meat is grown. (该研究小组发现了一种在实验室中培育植物组织、木材和纤维的方法，这与培育肉类的方法类似)”和第三段中“Making furniture and other items from biomaterials could eliminate cutting down trees in forests.(用生物材料制作家具和其他物品可以eliminate砍伐森林中的树木)”可知，科学家发现在实验室中培育植物组织、木材和纤维的方法。由此可知，用这种方法来制作家具和其他物品可以减少对森林的砍伐。由此推知，划线词eliminate与remove意思相近，指“去除，排除”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中Beckwith的话“I wanted to find a more efficient way to use land and resources so that we could let more farmlands remain wild, or to remain lower production but allow for greater biodiversity.(我想找到一种更有效的方式来利用土地和资源，这样我们就可以让更多的农田保持野生状态，或者保持低产量，但同时允许更大的生物多样性)”可知，Beckwith种植家具的目的是保持生物多样性。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When new biomaterials become readily available, forests will lose their economic value and will be preserved for their environmental, health, and recreational value.(当新的生物材料变得唾手可得时，森林将失去其经济价值，并将因其环境、健康和娱乐价值而得到保护)”可推知，保护森林的关键是新型生物材料的广泛应用。故选A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。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. ___18___ If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ___19___ You and your partner will probably have different skills. ___20___ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For as long as I can remember I’ve been making art.

We searched the plant for a whole day, but without luck. We found nothing. As it got dark, I asked Roy to go back, but he refused and said, “I would rather sleep on the mountain tonight and continue to search tomorrow! ” I desired to go home but I lacked the courage to go back alone, so I chose to stay and help Roy put up a simple tent under a tree. It was freezing cold on the mountain and there were scores of mosquitoes, which made it impossible for us to have a good sleep. What’s worse, we heard a wolf howling nearby! I was so scared. “I heard that wolves bully(欺负)the weak and fear the strong, ” Roy told me. “Let’s strike the shovel(铲子)and shout to scare it away! ” He found a stone and started to strike the shovel. And then he shouted as he struck the shovel. Inspired, I followed him to shout loudly. Half an hour later, I felt cold all over the body. And the cold air on the mountain made that worse. My stomach began to ache. I lay in the tent, shivering, sweating and then falling unconscious. Roy was shocked with panic. He called my name screamingly, but I just made no response. He tried to put me on his back to carry me home but without success. At last, he went out and found some tree branches and blocked up the entrance to our tent with them. Then, he ran to the direction of our village as fast as he could. Not knowing how much time went by, I heard some sounds approaching near. I thought it was Roy but I didn’t hear him saying anything. In a shock, I sat up with a rush. At that moment, my eyes had adjusted to the darkness. Through a hole of our tent, I saw two animals like dogs removing the tree branches with their mouths and claws. They were wolves! 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.

But I managed to gather myself together. I struck the shovel left beside me with a stone and screamed as loudly as I could. The two wolves were frightened at first and stepped back. But after a short time of hesitation, they continued to remove the branches. And no matter how hard I struck the shovel, they just ignored. I was in despair. But I still held the stone and shovel firmly, thinking I wouldn’t give it up without a fight. Paragraph 2: Strangely, I saw the two wolves turn around and run away in a flash. “Are they afraid of my shovel? ” I wondered. But I realized I was wrong when I saw many flashlights approaching my tent quickly. It turned out that Roy had run away to seek help. With a dozen of villagers, Roy was coming to my rescue! They were calling my name and I responded as they removed the branches. As Roy got into the tent and hugged me, I couldn’t help crying, both in fright and relief. 【解析】 【导语】本篇读后续写以人物为线索，主要讲述了15岁那年，我跟随罗伊来到深山寻找一种稀有且名贵的药材黄芪根，但直到天黑也一无所获，于是我们就在山上搭了帐篷，半夜，我胃疼并浑身发冷，于是罗伊便去了村子求救，我一个人在帐篷遭遇了狼群袭击，千钧一发之际，罗伊带着村民赶了回来，救下了我。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“它们的突然出现吓了我一跳，浑身出了一身冷汗。”可知，第一段可描写我是如何准备奋力抵抗狼群的攻击的，以及我害怕和绝望的心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“奇怪的是，我看见那两只狼转头就跑了。”可知，第二段可就罗伊和村民们如何及时赶回帐篷并救下了我的。 2.续写线索：狼群的出现让我害怕——我敲打石头恐吓狼群无果——紧紧抓住铲子，十分绝望——狼群退去——罗伊和村民们及时赶到——我如释重负。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.拿起：hold/ take up/ pick up ②.击打：strike/ hit ③.靠近：approach / get close to 情绪类 ①.绝望：in despair/ desperate/ hopeless ②.害怕：in fright/ frightened/ scared 【点睛】[高分句型1].
