It holds all kinds of natural wonders. Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world. Locally called Carnio Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls, rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Carnio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes (迸发) with life and colour. It appears as any mix of colours including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the “River of Five Colours”. Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Carnio Cristales’colours are the result of a rare (稀有) water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change colour depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colourless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water. Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget (预算) cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour. Today, Carnio Cristales still shines among Colombia’s most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year. 4. When is the best time to visit Carnio Cristales? A. In October. B. In March. C. In June. D. In January. 5. Why is Carnio Cristales colourful? A. The water is badly polluted. B. People add chemicals to it. C. A special plant lives in it. D. The weather is changeable there. 6. What once caused the park to be closed? A. The wildlife problem. B. The poor service. C. Too much rubbish. D. Too many visitors. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于世界上“最美丽的河流”Carnio Cristales的知识。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes  (迸发) with life and colour.(然而，在9月至11月的短暂时间里，这条河充满了生机和色彩)”可知，Carnio Cristales最佳观赏时间是在9月至11月内的月份。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Carnio Cristales’colours are the result of a rare water plant which needs sunlight to grow.(Carnio Cristales的色彩源自一种稀有的水生植物，这种植物需要阳光来进行生长)” 可知，Carnio Cristales色彩缤纷是因为一种特殊的植物生活在里面。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists.(2007年，由于游客过于拥挤，公园被迫关闭)”可知，公园曾经关闭的原因是因为游客过多。故选D项。 C Coca-Cola is to test a paper bottle as part of a longer-term goal to get rid of plastic from its packaging entirely. The prototype (样本) is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner (衬垫). But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated (碳酸) drinks. The barrier must also ensure no fibers get into the liquid. That may have a risk of changing the taste of the drink — or potentially can’t meet the requirements of health and safety checks. But industry giants (巨头) are backing the plan. Coca-Cola, for example, has set a goal of producing zero waste by 2030. Coca-Cola was ranked the world’s number one plastic polluter by charity group Break Free From Plastic (摆脱塑料) last year, closely followed by other drink-producers Pepsi and Nestle. The Paper Bottle Company, or Paboco, is the Danish firm behind the development of the paper-based container. Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces exerted by carbonated drinks — such as cola and beer — which are bottled under pressure. On top of that, the paper needs to be mouldable to create different bottle shapes and sizes for different brands and take ink for printing their labels. After more than seven years of lab work, the firm is now ready to host a trial in Hungary this summer of Coca-Cola’s fruit drink Adez. Initially, this will involve 2,000 bottles distributed via a local retail chain. But it is also working with others. Absolut, the vodka maker, is due to test 2,000 paper bottles of its own in the UK and Sweden of its pre-mixed, carbonated raspberry drink. And beer company Carlsberg is also building prototypes of a paper beer bottle. Michael Michelsen, the firm’s commercial manager, says the bottles are formed out of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material to give them strength. 7. What is the longer-term goal of Coca-Cola company? A. To use paper bottles with a thin plastic liner. B. To produce drinks of alternative tastes. C. To expand business in European countries. D. To stop using plastic in its packaging. 8. What can be inferred from the text? A. Coca-Cola has very strong competitors. B. Carbonated drinks are facing stricter health and safety checks. C. Some industry giants are in favor of plastic free packaging. D. The paper bottle company is under pressure from environmentalists. 9. What does the underlined word “mouldable” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Being hard to be printed on. B. Being able to be made into different shapes. C. Being able to be strengthened. D. Being able to be mixed with other materials. 10. What is the best title for the text? A. Coca-Cola Takes the Lead to Go Green B. Drink Industry Is Turning to Paper Bottles C. Paper Bottles Are in Place for the Market D. Paper Bottle Companies Spring up Worldwide 【答案】7. D 8. C 9. B 10. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可口可乐等生产饮品和啤酒的公司测试纸质饮料瓶的情况。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“ Coca-Cola is to test a paper bottle as part of a longer-term goal to get rid of plastic from its packaging entirely.(可口可乐公司将测试一个纸瓶，作为一个长期目标的一部分，以彻底清除包装中的塑料)”以及“ But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated (碳酸) drinks.（但他们的目标是创造一种100%可回收、不含塑料的瓶子，能够防止碳酸饮料中的气体溢出）”可知，可口可乐公司的长期目标是停止在包装中使用塑料。故选D。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“ But industry giants (巨头) are backing the plan.(但行业巨头们支持这个计划)”和倒数第二段中的例子“And beer company Carlsberg is also building prototypes of a paper beer bottle.（而啤酒公司嘉士伯也在制造纸制啤酒瓶的原型)”可推知，一些行业巨头赞成无塑料包装。故选C。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容“to create distinct bottle shapes and sizes for different brands（为不同品牌创造不同的瓶子形状和大小）”可知，此处意为纸需要能创造不同的瓶子形状和大小，可推知，mouldable意为“可塑的”，即代指纸可以被做成不同的形状。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。结合本文大意以及第三段“Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces exerted by carbonated drinks — such as cola and beer — which are bottled under pressure.(部分挑战在于，要创造一种结构，能够承受在压力下装瓶碳酸饮料（如可乐和啤酒）所施加的压力)”结合本文主要介绍了一些饮料和啤酒公司在测试纸质饮料瓶方面所做的努力。B项“饮料行业正在转向纸瓶”符合文意，适合作为本文标题。故选B。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your Path to Emotional Maturity Emotions play a critical part in our lives and are contagious unless you know how to actually control them.

(人们有时与我们互动，就好像我们是读心术的人，尤其是在人际关系中。你的伴侣可能希望你理解他们的欲望，这可能很有挑战性。正如你不是一个读心术的人，其他人也不是。你需要将你的需求传达给其他人，他们也需要对你这样做。与你所爱的人分享你的需求，并观察积极的变化)”可知，这一段主要介绍应积极主动交流需求。选项A“沟通你的需求”和下文意思一致。故选A。 【15题详解】 根据下文“If surrounded by negative people that only bring others down, then you will always feel miserable.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something.__________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior._____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I knew I should do something.

Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the coins rolled all over the floor. “Yes, those children need help and need the money more.” I said to myself. My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you. ” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now. ” “Thank you, Grandpa.” I was overwhelmed with happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了爷爷送我一个存钱罐，我努力的存钱，想要买自己心仪的自行车。当看到临近省份发生了地震的电视新闻后，我决定把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我应该做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者的最终决定，打破存钱罐，把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“爷爷对我的行为感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写爷爷了解了事情的经过后，所做出的决定。 2. 续写线索：存钱——梦想买自行车——看到新闻——捐钱——获得自行车奖励——开心 3. 词汇激活 行为类 回来：come back to/return to 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 以……傲：be proud of/take pride in 幸福：happiness/blessedness 【点睛】［高分句型 1］Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground.

B The giant Amazon rainforest in South America has been a mystery for centuries. It holds all kinds of natural wonders. Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as “the most beautiful river” in the world. Locally called Carnio Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls, rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Carnio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes (迸发) with life and colour. It appears as any mix of colours including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the “River of Five Colours”. Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Carnio Cristales’colours are the result of a rare (稀有) water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change colour depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colourless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water. Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget (预算) cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour. Today, Carnio Cristales still shines among Colombia’s most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year. 4. When is the best time to visit Carnio Cristales? A. In October. B. In March. C. In June. D. In January. 5 Why is Carnio Cristales colourful? A. The water is badly polluted. B. People add chemicals to it. C. A special plant lives in it. D. The weather is changeable there. 6. What once caused the park to be closed? A. The wildlife problem. B. The poor service. C. Too much rubbish. D. Too many visitors. C Coca-Cola is to test a paper bottle as part of a longer-term goal to get rid of plastic from its packaging entirely. The prototype (样本) is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner (衬垫). But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated (碳酸) drinks. The barrier must also ensure no fibers get into the liquid. That may have a risk of changing the taste of the drink — or potentially can’t meet the requirements of health and safety checks. But industry giants (巨头) are backing the plan. Coca-Cola, for example, has set a goal of producing zero waste by 2030. Coca-Cola was ranked the world’s number one plastic polluter by charity group Break Free From Plastic (摆脱塑料) last year, closely followed by other drink-producers Pepsi and Nestle. The Paper Bottle Company, or Paboco, is the Danish firm behind the development of the paper-based container. Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces exerted by carbonated drinks — such as cola and beer — which are bottled under pressure. On top of that, the paper needs to be mouldable to create different bottle shapes and sizes for different brands and take ink for printing their labels. After more than seven years of lab work, the firm is now ready to host a trial in Hungary this summer of Coca-Cola’s fruit drink Adez. Initially, this will involve 2,000 bottles distributed via a local retail chain. But it is also working with others. Absolut, the vodka maker, is due to test 2,000 paper bottles of its own in the UK and Sweden of its pre-mixed, carbonated raspberry drink. And beer company Carlsberg is also building prototypes of a paper beer bottle. Michael Michelsen, the firm’s commercial manager, says the bottles are formed out of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material to give them strength. 7. What is the longer-term goal of Coca-Cola company? A. To use paper bottles with a thin plastic liner. B. To produce drinks of alternative tastes. C. To expand business in European countries. D. To stop using plastic in its packaging. 8. What can be inferred from the text? A. Coca-Cola has very strong competitors. B. Carbonated drinks are facing stricter health and safety checks. C. Some industry giants are in favor of plastic free packaging. D. The paper bottle company is under pressure from environmentalists. 9. What does the underlined word “mouldable” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Being hard to be printed on. B. Being able to be made into different shapes. C. Being able to be strengthened. D. Being able to be mixed with other materials. 10. What is the best title for the text? A. Coca-Cola Takes the Lead to Go Green B. Drink Industry Is Turning to Paper Bottles C. Paper Bottles Are in Place for the Market D. Paper Bottle Companies Spring up Worldwide 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your Path to Emotional Maturity Emotions play a critical part in our lives and are contagious unless you know how to actually control them.
