Edna, who lives in Canada, has become famous for the fitness level she maintains at age 91. The mom of five, grandmother of twenty-one and great-grandmother of four still drives now. “I’ve always had a busy lifestyle because, let’s face it, with that many children, you have to be busy,” Edna said. “So, I never really thought about it. That’s just the way I live.” She said she only really began to focus on her fitness in her 60s, when she was forced to retire from her job at a local hospital. She had to face the fact that she was 60. To keep herself busy, Edna began gardening again that she had to abandon due to her busy work. She said she also started going to the gym in her 60s, which she still does every other day. “I have to keep my feet to the fire because it’s cold in the morning in winter, and when it’s snowy or icy out there, I don’t really get enthusiastic about going outside,” she said. “But I make myself do it and mark it on the calendar. So I cannot take any shortcuts.” Edna said she focused on walking at the gym for her cardiovascular (心血管) health and also included lots of weight lifting in her routine to maintain her bone strength. “When in the gym, I don’t try to break any records or compete with anyone else,” Edna said. “I only push myself to do better all the time, and I only compete with myself.” When it came to her age, Edna said the people at the gym didn’t realize she’s 91. She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her. “I know them well. But I don’t really want help,” said Edna. “It’s funny to say that, but I like to be independent.” 4. What made Edna leave her job in the hospital? A. Her turning 60. B. Her looking after many kids. C. Her wish to live a busy life. D. Her suffering from a disease. 5. What do we know about Edna after retirement? A. She lives in a cold place all year round. B. She manages to be a regular at the gym. C. She develops a new hobby for gardening. D. She likes to take shortcuts in her daily life. 6. Which of the following best describes the people at the gym? A. Competitive. B. Humorous. C. Humble. D. Caring. 7. What can we learn from Edna’s story? A. The elderly also enjoy trends. B. Experience beats youth. C. A positive attitude extends life. D. Fitness is fit for everyone. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了91岁的高龄老人Edna Giordano退休后一直保持健身的习惯，以积极的态度面对生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She said she only really began to focus on her fitness in her 60s, when she was forced to retire from her job at a local hospital. She had to face the fact that she was 60.”（她说，她真正开始关注自己的健康是在60岁时，当时她被迫从当地一家医院退休。她不得不面对自己已经60岁的事实。）可知，Edna是因为年龄到了60岁而被迫离开医院工作的。故选A。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She said she also started going to the gym in her 60s, which she still does every other day.”（她说，她在60岁时也开始去健身房，现在她仍然每隔一天去一次。）可知，Edna退休后坚持去健身房。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“When it came to her age, Edna said the people at the gym didn’t realize she’s 91. She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her.”（当提到她的年龄时，Edna说健身房的人们并不知道她已经91岁了。她更喜欢这样，因为当人们意识到她已经90多岁时，他们肯定会要求帮助她。）可知，健身房的人们是关心她的。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，特别是最后一段Edna的话“I only push myself to do better all the time, and I only compete with myself.”（我只是不断地推动自己做得更好，我只和自己竞争。）以及“She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her.”（她更喜欢这样，因为当人们意识到她已经90多岁时，他们肯定会要求帮助她。）可知，Edna的积极态度使她的生活充满活力。故选C。 C A recent survey of British parents found that in all, 7% of respondents give their baby a made-up name and 65% are at least willing to consider such a move in new age. A few examples of these new age baby names include Jaspin, Elisobelle, Wrenlow, and Maevery. Don’t see any names you like? How about Evabeth? Even if they themselves aren’t willing to choose such a name, a surprising 94% of respondents admit that made-up baby names are very much “in” these days. Apparently, these parents believe they are helping their kids by selecting a rarer name. The survey noted that 72% of all respondents believe a unique name will help their child stand out from the crowd. Another 2% choose a made-up name for their baby with social media in mind, thinking a more unique name means their child’s social media account will be much easier for potential followers to find. But 16% also believe that a strange name may reflect poorly on the parents. A popular strategy for parents to decide on a name is taking two names that both parents like, and combining them into one name（10%）. Another 9% combine the names of older relatives as a way to honor family. Similarly, many parents（30%） are drawing inspiration from popular movies and books. However, the majority of surveyed parents（92%） at least admitted that giving their child an odd name is bound to result in a few drawbacks. For example, two-thirds worry that an odd name will be hard to spell and pronounce, and a third worry that their child’s teachers will judge them based on their unusual name. Of course, for those parents who are confident they’ve picked a winning made-up name, 13% actually worry about other parents stealing their child’s name. 8. How does the author illustrate the new trend? A. By making comparisons. B. By asking questions. C. By listing statistics. D. By stating opinions. 9. Why do most parents give their newborns odd names? A. To make their children feel less special. B. To reflect their higher social status. C. To draw others’ attention more easily. D. To attract more followers online. 10. What is most people’s attitude towards the new trend of naming babies? A. It will be advised by teachers. B. It can actually be double-edged. C. It should be protected carefully. D. It surely makes parents confident. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Ordinary Names Are Parents’ New Pursuit B. An Odd Name Can Influence One’s Life C. Trendy Names Appear on Social Media D. Newborns’ Unique Names Are Coming 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章讨论了英国父母给新生儿起独特名字的新趋势，包括父母选择独特名字的原因、命名策略以及对这一趋势的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A recent survey of British parents found that in all, 7% of respondents give their baby a made-up name and 65% are at least willing to consider such a move in new age.(最近一项对英国父母的调查发现，在所有受访者中，有7%的人给自己的宝宝取了一个编造的名字，65%的人至少愿意在新的时代考虑这样做。)”可知，作者通过列举统计数据来说明新趋势，故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段第二句“The survey noted that 72% of all respondents believe a unique name will help their child stand out from the crowd.(调查显示，72%的受访者认为一个独特的名字会帮助他们的孩子脱颖而出。)”以及第三句“Another 2% choose a made-up name for their baby with social media in mind, thinking a more unique name means their child’s social media account will be much easier for potential followers to find.(另外2%的人为他们的宝宝选择一个编造的名字，考虑到社交媒体，认为一个更独特的名字意味着他们孩子的社交媒体账户将更容易被潜在的追随者找到。)”可知，大多数父母给新生儿取奇怪的名字是为了更容易吸引别人的注意，故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“However, the majority of surveyed parents（92%） at least admitted that giving their child an odd name is bound to result in a few drawbacks.(然而，绝大多数受访的父母（92%）至少承认，给孩子取一个奇怪的名字一定会带来一些缺点。)”可知，大多数人对于给婴儿取名的新趋势的态度是它实际上可能是双刃剑，可推理出，新趋势既有优点也有缺点，故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent survey of British parents found that in all, 7% of respondents give their baby a made-up name and 65% are at least willing to consider such a move in new age(最近一项对英国父母的调查发现，总的来说，有7%的受访者给他们的孩子起了个编造的名字，65%的人至少愿意在新时代考虑这种做法)”、第三段“Apparently, these parents believe they are helping their kids by selecting a rarer name(显然，这些父母认为他们通过给孩子取一个更罕见的名字来帮助他们)”以及最后一段“For example, two-thirds worry that an odd name will be hard to spell and pronounce, and a third worry that their child’s teachers will judge them based on their unusual name. Of course, for those parents who are confident they’ve picked a winning made-up name, 13% actually worry about other parents stealing their child’s name. (例如，三分之二的人担心一个奇怪的名字会很难拼写和发音，三分之一的人担心他们孩子的老师会根据他们不寻常的名字来判断他们。当然，对于那些自信已经选了一个获胜的编造名字的父母来说，13%的人实际上担心其他父母会盗用他们孩子的名字。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述了新生儿的独特名字正在出现的趋势，故选D项。 D Drugs that could save tens of thousands of lives in Britain should be prescribed (开药) to three times as many patients as at present, medical experts recommended after a study showed these drugs have great effects on heart disease and stroke (中风). British research has shown that statins, a class of drug that lowers cholesterol (胆固醇), can prevent a third of all cases of heart disease or stroke in patients at highest risk. If statins were given to 10 million high-risk patients, they could save at least 50,000 lives a year worldwide. In Britain, where heart disease is the leading cause of death, statins could save up to 10,000 lives a year. Studies have found that safety issues surrounding statins were so tiny that they were significant. The risk of muscle problems was only about one in ten thousand. Fears that statins could increase deaths from other diseases, such as cancer, were assuaged by the study. At present, only people with high cholesterol are prescribed statins, but the eight-year study found that anyone at risk of heart disease or stroke could benefit. Statins are now given to fewer than one in twenty people aged over 40, mostly men with heart disease or high cholesterol. Under the recommendation, this would increase to one in eight. A total of 20,000 volunteers aged 40 to 80 took part in the study, which looked at the effects of statins on patients for whom the benefits were uncertain. The guidelines previously said that female patients aged over 65 would not benefit from the drug, but the five years of monitoring all types of patients at high risk of heart attacks and stroke showed that everyone benefited as much from statins. The new recommendations will be easy to put into practice because statins are readily available and the patients who benefit from them most are already known to doctors. 12. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. Main diseases in Britain. B. Side effects caused by statins. C. Positive effects of statins. D. The numbers of heart disease cases. 13. What does the underlined word “assuaged” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Eased. B. Discovered. C. Ignored. D. Compared. 14. What does the five years of monitoring concerning statins show? A. The effects of the drug are unclear. B. The drug can be widely prescribed. C. The drug hardly benefits female patients. D. The drug should be limited in application. 15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To call for the monitoring of drug studies. B. To explain different ways of testing drugs. C. To seek improvement in the drug research. D. To spread medical experts’ recommendation. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国医药专家对他汀类药物进行了长时间的研究，证实了这类药物对心脏病和中风有很大疗效，而且适用人群也比较广泛。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“British research has shown that statins, a class of drug that lowers cholesterol (胆固醇), can prevent a third of all cases of heart disease or stroke in patients at highest risk. If statins were given to 10 million high-risk patients, they could save at least 50,000 lives a year worldwide. In Britain, where heart disease is the leading cause of death, statins could save up to 10,000 lives a year.(英国研究表明，他汀类药物（一种降低胆固醇的药物）可以预防三分之一的高危心脏病或中风病例。如果给1000万高危患者服用他汀类药物，全球每年至少可以挽救5万人的生命。在英国，心脏病是导致死亡的主要原因，他汀类药物每年可以挽救多达1万人的生命)”可知，本段主要介绍了他汀类药物的积极影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“safety issues surrounding statins were so tiny(他汀类药物的安全性问题微乎其微)”及“The risk of muscle problems was only about one in ten thousand.(肌肉问题的风险只有万分之一)”可知，他汀类药物的副作用很小。由此可推知，研究结果使人们对该药的恐惧减轻。assuage意为“减轻”，A项与其意思相近。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The guidelines previously said that female patients aged over 65 would not benefit from the drug, but the five years of monitoring all types of patients at high risk of heart attacks and stroke showed that everyone benefited as much from statins.(之前的指南说，65岁以上的女性患者不会从这种药物中获益，但对心脏病和中风高危患者进行的5年监测表明，每个人都能从他汀类药物中获益)”可知，早期对他汀类药物的研究并不准确，最新研究表明，他汀类药物对所有人都有较好的治疗效果，可以被广泛使用。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文并结合第一段“Drugs that could save tens of thousands of lives in Britain should be prescribed (开药) to three times as many patients as at present, medical experts recommended after a study showed these drugs have great effects on heart disease and stroke (中风).(在一项研究显示这些药物对心脏病和中风有很大影响后，医学专家建议，在英国，可以挽救数万人生命的药物应该开给比现在多三倍的病人)”及最后一段“The new recommendations will be easy to put into practice because statins are readily available and the patients who benefit from them most are already known to doctors.(新的建议将很容易付诸实践，因为他汀类药物很容易获得，而且医生已经知道从中受益最多的患者)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是推广医学专家的建议。故选D。 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。 Self-learning can help you develop important skills and gain valuable knowledge.

It was an unusual morning. About an hour earlier, when we drove into town to participate in the race, my 11-year-old son noticed a green tree cricket（蟋蟀） on my car. It was friendly, no longer than a fingernail. It jumped onto my son’s finger, and walked across my shirt, and then went back to my son’s hand, where it stayed so long that we eventually gave it a name: Little Friend. The walk from the car to the registration table was perhaps a quarter of a mile. Little Friend stayed with my son. Then, we walked back across the railroad tracks and waited for the race to start. A few minutes before the race, Little Friend either fell or jumped off my son’s hand and landed on the sidewalk. Maybe it wanted to go free. But this was not a good place for that. Pedestrian（行人） traffic was heavy, so Little Friend was in danger. My son knelt and reached out his hand. It came back. The race was about to start, and the tiny green insect was in for a wild ride. My son would run fast, and the race would be long. The race began. I ran well enough, and felt excited at the finish line. But that thrill gave way to anxiety when my son didn’t show up. I knew he could run 5 kilometers in about 30 minutes. When I didn’t see him at the 35-minute mark, I began to wonder what had gone wrong. And as the 40-minute mark approached and he still didn’t appear, I went out looking for him. Had he got lost? I crossed the railroad tracks and looked down a long straightaway, hoping to see his face. Finally, there he was, just ahead of the 45-minute mark. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Little Friend was riding proudly on one finger of my son’s right hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smiling, we walked back to the car with Little Friend. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Little Friend was riding proudly on one finger of my son’s right hand. It was like a very small captain on a very big ship. My predictions had been wrong. My son hadn’t run fast. He blamed a cold he was getting over. However, I knew the real reason. While he was running, his arms would swing, and Little Friend would be bounced and eventually fall to the ground, which would certainly put its life in danger. So my son had to slow down his running speed to protect it. But I didn’t question him too much about it. I think there’s more than one way to win a race. Smiling, we walked back to the car with Little Friend. My son carefully found some bushes in the parking lot which seemed like a good place for him to drop off Little Friend. He seemed lost and unwilling to give up on Little Friend. But he knew their brief and intense friendship had to run its course. “Be free,” my son said, and gently pushed Little Friend. It took some more pushes, and Little Friend finally sprang from his finger and jumped downward, its bright green body integrated with the dark green bushes. The small creature went out of sight and sought its freedom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和11岁的儿子在参加一场5公里赛跑遇到了一只蟋蟀，他们给他起名“小朋友”。当作者跑道了终点时，却没有发现儿子的身影，最后，他出现了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“小朋友骄傲地骑在我儿子右手的一根手指上”可知，第一段可描写儿子落后的原因，这里主要体现出是因为“小朋友”的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们微笑着和小朋友一起走回车上。”可知，第二段可描写儿子将蟋蟀放回了大自然，消失在视野之内。 2.续写线索：落后原因——放回大自然——短暂的友谊——消失在视野中 3词汇激活 行为类 询问：question /ask about 放慢：slow down /delay 放弃：give up /abandon 放下：drop off /put down 情绪类 不愿意的：unwilling / averse 温柔地：gently/softly 【点睛】[高分句型1] While he was running, his arms would swing, and Little Friend would be bounced and eventually fall to the ground, which would certainly put its life in danger.

B If you’re looking for inspiration to get healthy and stay active, look no further than Edna Giordano. Edna, who lives in Canada, has become famous for the fitness level she maintains at age 91. The mom of five, grandmother of twenty-one and great-grandmother of four still drives now. “I’ve always had a busy lifestyle because, let’s face it, with that many children, you have to be busy,” Edna said. “So, I never really thought about it. That’s just the way I live.” She said she only really began to focus on her fitness in her 60s, when she was forced to retire from her job at a local hospital. She had to face the fact that she was 60. To keep herself busy, Edna began gardening again that she had to abandon due to her busy work. She said she also started going to the gym in her 60s, which she still does every other day. “I have to keep my feet to the fire because it’s cold in the morning in winter, and when it’s snowy or icy out there, I don’t really get enthusiastic about going outside,” she said. “But I make myself do it and mark it on the calendar. So I cannot take any shortcuts.” Edna said she focused on walking at the gym for her cardiovascular (心血管) health and also included lots of weight lifting in her routine to maintain her bone strength. “When in the gym, I don’t try to break any records or compete with anyone else,” Edna said. “I only push myself to do better all the time, and I only compete with myself.” When it came to her age, Edna said the people at the gym didn’t realize she’s 91. She prefers it that way, because when people do realize she’s in her 90s, they’ll surely demand to help her. “I know them well. But I don’t really want help,” said Edna. “It’s funny to say that, but I like to be independent.” 4. What made Edna leave her job in the hospital? A. Her turning 60. B. Her looking after many kids. C. Her wish to live a busy life. D. Her suffering from a disease. 5. What do we know about Edna after retirement? A. She lives in a cold place all year round. B. She manages to be a regular at the gym. C. She develops a new hobby for gardening. D. She likes to take shortcuts in her daily life. 6. Which of the following best describes the people at the gym? A. Competitive. B. Humorous. C. Humble. D. Caring. 7. What can we learn from Edna’s story? A. The elderly also enjoy trends. B. Experience beats youth. C. A positive attitude extends life. D. Fitness is fit for everyone. C A recent survey of British parents found that in all, 7% of respondents give their baby a made-up name and 65% are at least willing to consider such a move in new age. A few examples of these new age baby names include Jaspin, Elisobelle, Wrenlow, and Maevery. Don’t see any names you like? How about Evabeth? Even if they themselves aren’t willing to choose such a name, a surprising 94% of respondents admit that made-up baby names are very much “in” these days. Apparently, these parents believe they are helping their kids by selecting a rarer name. The survey noted that 72% of all respondents believe a unique name will help their child stand out from the crowd. Another 2% choose a made-up name for their baby with social media in mind, thinking a more unique name means their child’s social media account will be much easier for potential followers to find. But 16% also believe that a strange name may reflect poorly on the parents. A popular strategy for parents to decide on a name is taking two names that both parents like, and combining them into one name（10%）. Another 9% combine the names of older relatives as a way to honor family. Similarly, many parents（30%） are drawing inspiration from popular movies and books. However, the majority of surveyed parents（92%） at least admitted that giving their child an odd name is bound to result in a few drawbacks. For example, two-thirds worry that an odd name will be hard to spell and pronounce, and a third worry that their child’s teachers will judge them based on their unusual name. Of course, for those parents who are confident they’ve picked a winning made-up name, 13% actually worry about other parents stealing their child’s name. 8. How does the author illustrate the new trend? A. By making comparisons. B. By asking questions. C. By listing statistics. D. By stating opinions. 9. Why do most parents give their newborns odd names? A. To make their children feel less special. B. To reflect their higher social status. C. To draw others’ attention more easily. D. To attract more followers online. 10. What is most people’s attitude towards the new trend of naming babies? A. It will be advised by teachers. B. It can actually be double-edged. C. It should be protected carefully. D. It surely makes parents confident. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. Ordinary Names Are Parents’ New Pursuit B. An Odd Name Can Influence One’s Life C. Trendy Names Appear on Social Media D. Newborns’ Unique Names Are Coming D Drugs that could save tens of thousands of lives in Britain should be prescribed (开药) to three times as many patients as at present, medical experts recommended after a study showed these drugs have great effects on heart disease and stroke (中风). British research has shown that statins, a class of drug that lowers cholesterol (胆固醇), can prevent a third of all cases of heart disease or stroke in patients at highest risk. If statins were given to 10 million high-risk patients, they could save at least 50,000 lives a year worldwide. In Britain, where heart disease is the leading cause of death, statins could save up to 10,000 lives a year. Studies have found that safety issues surrounding statins were so tiny that they were significant. The risk of muscle problems was only about one in ten thousand. Fears that statins could increase deaths from other diseases, such as cancer, were assuaged by the study. At present, only people with high cholesterol are prescribed statins, but the eight-year study found that anyone at risk of heart disease or stroke could benefit. Statins are now given to fewer than one in twenty people aged over 40, mostly men with heart disease or high cholesterol. Under the recommendation, this would increase to one in eight. A total of 20,000 volunteers aged 40 to 80 took part in the study, which looked at the effects of statins on patients for whom the benefits were uncertain. The guidelines previously said that female patients aged over 65 would not benefit from the drug, but the five years of monitoring all types of patients at high risk of heart attacks and stroke showed that everyone benefited as much from statins. The new recommendations will be easy to put into practice because statins are readily available and the patients who benefit from them most are already known to doctors. 12 What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. Main diseases in Britain. B. Side effects caused by statins. C. Positive effects of statins. D. The numbers of heart disease cases. 13. What does the underlined word “assuaged” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Eased. B. Discovered. C. Ignored. D. Compared. 14. What does the five years of monitoring concerning statins show? A.

It was an unusual morning. About an hour earlier, when we drove into town to participate in the race, my 11-year-old son noticed a green tree cricket（蟋蟀） on my car. It was friendly, no longer than a fingernail. It jumped onto my son’s finger, and walked across my shirt, and then went back to my son’s hand, where it stayed so long that we eventually gave it a name: Little Friend. The walk from the car to the registration table was perhaps a quarter of a mile. Little Friend stayed with my son. Then, we walked back across the railroad tracks and waited for the race to start. A few minutes before the race, Little Friend either fell or jumped off my son’s hand and landed on the sidewalk. Maybe it wanted to go free. But this was not a good place for that. Pedestrian（行人） traffic was heavy, so Little Friend was in danger. My son knelt and reached out his hand. It came back. The race was about to start, and the tiny green insect was in for a wild ride. My son would run fast, and the race would be long. The race began. I ran well enough, and felt excited at the finish line. But that thrill gave way to anxiety when my son didn’t show up. I knew he could run 5 kilometers in about 30 minutes. When I didn’t see him at the 35-minute mark, I began to wonder what had gone wrong. And as the 40-minute mark approached and he still didn’t appear, I went out looking for him. Had he got lost? I crossed the railroad tracks and looked down a long straightaway, hoping to see his face. Finally, there he was, just ahead of the 45-minute mark. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Little Friend was riding proudly on one finger of my son’s right hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smiling, we walked back to the car with Little Friend. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1～5：ABBCA 6～10：CCBCB 11～15：BCABA 16～20：CAAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
