But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now，there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience. Open Table app Open Table app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations(预定) ，which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits. Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app Wine and cheese can be a great combination. But which wines go best with which cheeses? Max Me Calman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app can help. It provides information about hundreds of different cheeses and suggests wines to pair with each. Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app is free. HappyCow app Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world. LocalEats app Restaurant chains, like McDonalds，can be found almost anywhere a person might travel. But sometimes travelers want to eat like locals. The LocalEats app is designed for that. It can help you find local restaurants in major cities in the US and in other countries. It costs about a dollar. Where Chefs Eat app “Where Chefs Eat” is a 975-page book. Most people would not want to carry that around. But there is a much lighter app version of the same name for just$15. Six hundred chefs provide information on 3,000 restaurants around the world on the Where Chefs Eat app. 1. What do the first two apps have in common? A. They are both free of charge. B. Discounts are provided on both. C. Best wines can be reserved on both. D. They tell you where to have the best food. 2. Who is HappyCow app probably designed for? A. Friends drinking wines together. B. Chefs enjoying meat very much. C. People who don’t like eating meat. D. Those often eating in a restaurant. 3. Where can we most likely see the text? A. On a tourism guide. B. In a cellphone application introduction. C. In a students' textbook. D. On a scientific discovery TV program. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。大多数人都想吃的健康，但是有时候选择好食物很难，而本文就给读者介绍了五个帮助他们了解健康饮食的应用软件。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Open Table app部分中“It is a free service that shows users restaurant available based on where and when they want to dine.（这是一项免费服务，根据用户想要用餐的地点和时间向用户显示餐厅）”以及Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app部分中“Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine Pairing app is free.（Max McCalman's Cheese&Wine Pairing应用程序是免费的）”可知，前两个应用程序的共同点是他们都是免费的。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据HappyCow app小标题中“Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups.（素食者不吃肉。严格素食者不吃任何动物产品。而The HappyCow软件就是为这两个群体制作的）”可知HappyCow软件是为不喜欢吃肉的人设计的。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining out experience.（现在，有一些应用程序可以帮助人们了解他们吃的食物，从而改善他们的健康和外出就餐的体验）”以及文章主要介绍了五个应用软件推知，最有可能在手机应用介绍看到本文。故选B。 B Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. “Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.” Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran. Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.” 4. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day? A. To remember the birth of jazz. B. To protect cultural diversity. C. To encourage people to study music. D. To recognize the value of jazz. 5. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The production of jazz growing faster. C. Jazz being less popular with the young. D. The jazz audience becoming larger. 6. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz? A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains black and white. C. It should keep up with the times. D. It changes every 50 years. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Exploring the Future of Jazz. B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz. C. The Story of a Jazz Musician. D. Celebrating the Jazz Day. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日，希望意识到爵士乐的价值，但实际收效甚微。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.可知，UNESCO把4月30号定为国际爵士乐日是为了让人们重视爵士乐，意识到它的重要性以及它作为连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能，也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选D。 【5题详解】 代词指代题。根据前文Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations可知，尽管UNESCO为爵士乐设了纪念日，但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少，并且年龄在老化，爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that(是Jason Moran的工作是帮助改变那一情况)可推测，that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same可知，Moran认为现在爵士乐不能 以1908或1958年的方式来呈现，因为世界已经不同了，所以爵士乐必须不断进步，说明随着时代的 发展，爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。 【7题详解】 标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日， 但实际收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步，否则将失去对人们的吸引力，因此本文主要是探索爵士乐的未来，故选A。 C “I was a bad student who became an astronaut.” Scott Kelly, an engineer and a retired astronaut, visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison and shared his own experience. As a kid, he was distracted in school and he earned terrible grades and barely graduated from high school. The biggest struggle was that he used to ignore what the teachers were saying, and even he started to accept the fact that he would never be able to achieve what he dreamed. After graduation, everything changed, quite by accident, when he picked up and read The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe’s classic account of the lives of the pioneering Americans who first explored space. Inspired at last, he decided he wanted to be an astronaut. To do that, he needed to get a technical degree. So starting that day, he was determined to do well in all the subjects. After so many years of daydreaming, it wouldn’t be easy. But he started thinking about it like a sport. The more he practiced his study skills, the better he got and the more he learned. Eventually, it became a competition with himself to see how good he could get. But how can we find our motivation? There’s no fixed way. It’s about finding an interest and putting in the hard work. It’s likely that you just haven’t found what interests you or the topic is not being explained in a way that resonates (共鸣) with you. Reflect on your daily behavior. Do you find yourself absorbed in building things, interested in the ecosystem, enjoy reading the latest graphics in video games? That will give you clues about your interests-engineering, biology, coding, etc. Then talk to professionals in those fields and hear their stories for guidance and inspiration. Kelly encourages young people to dream big and aim for the stars. Hard? Maybe. But anything worth having is worth pursuing. 8. What was Scott’s major challenge when he was in high school? A. To understand what the teachers say in class. B. To find his motivation in learning at school. C. To finish the assignments with higher quality. D. To realize his dream of becoming an astronaut. 9. What may Scott think of his learning when pursuing a technical degree? A. Useful but irrelevant. B. Interesting and pleasing. C. Challenging but rewarding. D. Stressful and time-consuming. 10. According to the passage, how can you motivate yourself? A. By following other’s path and devoting yourself to it. B. By running back over your behavior and putting efforts in it. C. By trying various interests and picking what you like most. D. By discovering personal interests and seeking professional advice. 11. Which of the following ideas would Scott probably agree with? A. Well begun is half done. B. Chances favors the prepared mind. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. Birds of a feather flock together. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是Scott Kelly分享自己成为宇航员的奋斗过程。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“As a kid, he was distracted in school and he earned terrible grades and barely graduated from high school. The biggest struggle was that he used to ignore what the teachers were saying, and even he started to accept the fact that he would never be able to achieve what he dreamed.(作为一个孩子，他在学校分心，他的成绩很差，几乎没有从高中毕业。最大的挣扎是他过去常常忽略老师说的话，甚至他开始接受他永远无法实现梦想的事实)”及第三段的“After graduation, everything changed, quite by accident, when he picked up and read The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe’s classic account of the lives of the pioneering Americans who first explored space. Inspired at last, he decided he wanted to be an astronaut.(毕业后，当他读到Tom Wolfe的经典著作The Right Stuff时，一切都意外地改变了。这本书讲述了首次探索太空的美国先驱们的生活)”和第四段的“But how can we find our motivation?(但是我们怎样才能找到我们的动力呢?)”可推知，Scott在高中时最大的挑战是找到他在学校学习的动力。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“To do that, he needed to get a technical degree. So starting that day, he was determined to do well in all the subjects. After so many years of daydreaming, it wouldn’t be easy. But he started thinking about it like a sport. The more he practiced his study skills, the better he got and the more he learned. Eventually, it became a competition with himself to see how good he could get.(要做到这一点，他需要获得一个技术学位。所以从那天开始，他决心把所有的科目都学好。在做了这么多年的白日梦之后，这并不容易。但他开始把它当成一项运动。他越多地练习他的学习技巧，他得到的越好，他学到的也越多。最终，这变成了一场与他自己的比赛，看他能做得多好)”可知，Scott认为在攻读技术学位时他的学习是具有挑战性但值得的。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“But how can we find our motivation? There’s no fixed way. It’s about finding an interest and putting in the hard work.(但是我们怎样才能找到我们的动力呢？没有固定的方法。而是要找到自己的兴趣，然后努力工作)”和“Then talk to professionals in those fields and hear their stories for guidance and inspiration.(然后与这些领域的专业人士交谈，听听他们的故事，从中获得指导和灵感)”可知，你可以通过发现个人兴趣并寻求专业建议来激励自己。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Kelly encourages young people to dream big and aim for the stars. Hard? Maybe. But anything worth having is worth pursuing.(Kelly鼓励年轻人要有远大的梦想，要志存高远。难？也许吧。但任何值得拥有的东西都值得追求)”可推知，Kelly认为要志存高远，勇于追求，也就是他可能会同意“心之所愿，无事不成”，即Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.故选C。 D The waves were clean and curling one day about ten years ago when surfer Will Rose stepped into the water at Ocean Beach in San Diego, California. Rose was an experienced surfer then in his mid-20s. Midway through his session, he spotted a young surfer, perhaps 10 years old, who’d lost his board and was struggling in a powerful rip current (离岸流). Rose paddled over as the boy was carried underneath a long pier (码头) and s wept rapidly out to sea. “It was one of the craziest rip currents I’ve ever seen,” Rose recalls. He traded places with the boy, handing over his board and pushing the younger surfer towards the shore in a breaking wave. Rose held onto a pier pile tightly in the fast-flowing water as a lifeguard hurried over on his own board before helping him back to the beach. Rose’s act of heroism, new research suggests, is a surprisingly common one for surfers. In a recent survey conducted in New Zealand, scientists found that throughout their lives, surfers reportedly rescue an average of three people who are drowning (溺死) or otherwise struggling in the water. The findings cast new light on the role of surfers: as largely overlooked guardians of the beach. The study was conducted by Jamie Mead, then a graduate student at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. It began with an online survey of 418 surfers from across New Zealand. Processing the responses, Mead found that these surfers were claiming to have participated in a total of 1,274 rescues, including 296 times when they felt they’d saved a person’s life. Of these rescues, 73 percent took place on beaches without lifeguards present. It showed the crucial role surfers have played in protecting beach goers. The survey responses also show that in nearly nine out of ten rescues, the people the surfers helped required no further treatment after the incident, and probably left no official record or report of the event. “We need to get surfers the praise they deserve.” Mead says. The research, Mead writes in his paper, suggests that organizations involved in drowning prevention, “Should work closely with surfing communities on ways to reduce deaths at coastal beaches?” 12. What did Will Rose do when he saw the struggling young boy? A. He ignored the boy. B. He called for help from a nearby lifeguard. C. He helped the boy escape the danger. D. He helped the boy find his lost surfboard. 13. What is the purpose of mentioning Will Rose’s experience? A. To highlight the dangers of rip currents. B. To show the bravery and skills of experienced surfers. C. To stress the potential dangers faced by young surfers. D. To exhibit a typical rescue example by experienced surfers. 14. What are para.5 and para.6 mainly about? A. The findings of Jamie Mead’s study. B. The purpose of Jamie Mead’s study. C. Jamie Mead’s comments on surfers. D. Jamie Mead’s advice on drowning prevention. 15. What is the main conclusion Mead draws from the findings? A. Surfers deserve public praise. B. Increased lifeguard coverage is needed. C. Beaches are safe with both surfers and lifeguards present. D. Drowning prevention efforts need to involve surfing communities. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了冲浪者在海滩上的重要作用，他们经常在危险中拯救人们的生命。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He traded places with the boy, handing over his board and pushing the younger surfer towards the shore in a breaking wave.”（他与那个男孩交换了位置，把自己的冲浪板交给了他，并在破浪中把年轻的冲浪者推向岸边。）可知，Will Rose帮助了那个处于危险中的男孩，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Rose’s act of heroism, new research suggests, is a surprisingly common one for surfers. In a recent survey conducted in New Zealand, scientists found that throughout their lives, surfers reportedly rescue an average of three people who are drowning (溺死) or otherwise struggling in the water. The findings cast new light on the role of surfers: as largely overlooked guardians of the beach.”（新的研究表明，罗斯的英雄主义行为在冲浪者中非常普遍。在新西兰最近进行的一项调查中，科学家们发现，据报道，冲浪者一生中平均会救出三个溺水或在水中挣扎的人。这些发现让人们对冲浪者的角色有了新的认识:他们基本上是被忽视的海滩守护者）可知，Will Rose的经历被用来展示了经验丰富的冲浪者如何进行救援，这是一个典型的由经验丰富的冲浪者进行的救援例子。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Of these rescues, 73 percent took place on beaches without lifeguards present. It showed the crucial role surfers have played in protecting beach goers.”（在这些救援中，73%发生在没有救生员在场的海滩上。这表明冲浪者在保护海滩游客方面发挥了至关重要的作用。）根据第六段“The survey responses also show that in nearly nine out of ten rescues, the people the surfers helped required no further treatment after the incident, and probably left no official record or report of the event.”（调查结果还显示，在近九成的救援行动中，被冲浪者帮助的人在事件发生后不需要进一步治疗，可能没有留下任何官方记录或报告）可知，第五段和第六段主要关于杰米·米德的研究结果。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The research, Mead writes in his paper, suggests that organizations involved in drowning prevention, “Should work closely with surfing communities on ways to reduce deaths at coastal beaches?””（Mead在他的论文中写道，这项研究表明，参与防溺水的组织应该与冲浪社区紧密合作，寻找减少海滩死亡的方法。）可知，Mead的主要结论是防溺水的努力需要涉及到冲浪社区。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。 Thousands of us have been rediscovering the joys of putting pen to paper to send messages of love and encouragement to family and friends recently.

B Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture. “Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.” Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran. Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.” 4. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day? A. To remember the birth of jazz. B. To protect cultural diversity. C To encourage people to study music. D. To recognize the value of jazz. 5. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The production of jazz growing faster. C. Jazz being less popular with the young. D. The jazz audience becoming larger. 6. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz? A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains black and white. C. It should keep up with the times. D. It changes every 50 years. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Exploring the Future of Jazz. B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz. C. The Story of a Jazz Musician. D. Celebrating the Jazz Day. C “I was a bad student who became an astronaut.” Scott Kelly, an engineer and a retired astronaut, visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison and shared his own experience. As a kid, he was distracted in school and he earned terrible grades and barely graduated from high school. The biggest struggle was that he used to ignore what the teachers were saying, and even he started to accept the fact that he would never be able to achieve what he dreamed. After graduation, everything changed, quite by accident, when he picked up and read The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe’s classic account of the lives of the pioneering Americans who first explored space. Inspired at last, he decided he wanted to be an astronaut. To do that, he needed to get a technical degree. So starting that day, he was determined to do well in all the subjects. After so many years of daydreaming, it wouldn’t be easy. But he started thinking about it like a sport. The more he practiced his study skills, the better he got and the more he learned. Eventually, it became a competition with himself to see how good he could get. But how can we find our motivation? There’s no fixed way. It’s about finding an interest and putting in the hard work. It’s likely that you just haven’t found what interests you or the topic is not being explained in a way that resonates (共鸣) with you. Reflect on your daily behavior. Do you find yourself absorbed in building things, interested in the ecosystem, enjoy reading the latest graphics in video games? That will give you clues about your interests-engineering, biology, coding, etc. Then talk to professionals in those fields and hear their stories for guidance and inspiration. Kelly encourages young people to dream big and aim for the stars. Hard? Maybe. But anything worth having is worth pursuing. 8. What was Scott’s major challenge when he was in high school? A. To understand what the teachers say in class. B. To find his motivation in learning at school. C. To finish the assignments with higher quality. D. To realize his dream of becoming an astronaut. 9.

D The waves were clean and curling one day about ten years ago when surfer Will Rose stepped into the water at Ocean Beach in San Diego, California. Rose was an experienced surfer then in his mid-20s. Midway through his session, he spotted a young surfer, perhaps 10 years old, who’d lost his board and was struggling in a powerful rip current (离岸流). Rose paddled over as the boy was carried underneath a long pier (码头) and s wept rapidly out to sea. “It was one of the craziest rip currents I’ve ever seen,” Rose recalls. He traded places with the boy, handing over his board and pushing the younger surfer towards the shore in a breaking wave. Rose held onto a pier pile tightly in the fast-flowing water as a lifeguard hurried over on his own board before helping him back to the beach. Rose’s act of heroism, new research suggests, is a surprisingly common one for surfers. In a recent survey conducted in New Zealand, scientists found that throughout their lives, surfers reportedly rescue an average of three people who are drowning (溺死) or otherwise struggling in the water. The findings cast new light on the role of surfers: as largely overlooked guardians of the beach. The study was conducted by Jamie Mead, then a graduate student at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. It began with an online survey of 418 surfers from across New Zealand. Processing the responses, Mead found that these surfers were claiming to have participated in a total of 1,274 rescues, including 296 times when they felt they’d saved a person’s life. Of these rescues, 73 percent took place on beaches without lifeguards present. It showed the crucial role surfers have played in protecting beach goers. The survey responses also show that in nearly nine out of ten rescues, the people the surfers helped required no further treatment after the incident, and probably left no official record or report of the event. “We need to get surfers the praise they deserve.” Mead says. The research, Mead writes in his paper, suggests that organizations involved in drowning prevention, “Should work closely with surfing communities on ways to reduce deaths at coastal beaches?” 12. What did Will Rose do when he saw the struggling young boy? A. He ignored the boy. B. He called for help from a nearby lifeguard. C. He helped the boy escape the danger. D. He helped the boy find his lost surfboard. 13. What is the purpose of mentioning Will Rose’s experience? A. To highlight the dangers of rip currents. B. To show the bravery and skills of experienced surfers. C. To stress the potential dangers faced by young surfers. D. To exhibit a typical rescue example by experienced surfers. 14. What are para.5 and para.6 mainly about? A. The findings of Jamie Mead’s study. B. The purpose of Jamie Mead’s study. C. Jamie Mead’s comments on surfers. D. Jamie Mead’s advice on drowning prevention. 15. What is the main conclusion Mead draws from the findings? A. Surfers deserve public praise. B. Increased lifeguard coverage is needed. C. Beaches are safe with both surfers and lifeguards present. D. Drowning prevention efforts need to involve surfing communities. 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。 Thousands of us have been rediscovering the joys of putting pen to paper to send messages of love and encouragement to family and friends recently.
