阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Emergencies can happen anytime, so being prepared for a home first aid kit(成套工具) is important for your family. Having a proper one in your home is an easy but necessary part of good emergency preparation.
Pick a good container
One good choice is a large translucent plastic container, which makes it easy to see the materials inside. Lunchboxes are also another good choice. Basically, if it’s big enough, and at least somewhat water resistant, it can make a good container. Regardless of your container choice, it should be easy to recognize, so write “FIRST AID” on it with a marker.
Teach your family about the kit
For younger children who shouldn’t use the items in the kit, teach them where it’s located, so they could show a visitor, relative or babysitter. For older children and adults, instruct them on how to use the items in it. Use a first aid instruction booklet, like those available from the American Red Cross for guidance and place a booklet in the kit for reference.
Keep your kit up–to–date
No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired (过期了的). Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly.
Create a checklist in the kit
Record every item on a sheet of paper and keep it in the kit. Besides, record the amounts of the items and expiration dates next to the listed items on the checklist that you include in your kit. In this way, anyone who wants to reach the kit can immediately know what it includes and doesn’t include. Also, they can be clear whether the items can be used.
1. Which is close to the meaning of the underlined word “translucent”?
A. Wide. B. Advanced.
C. Clear. D. Strong.
2. What should the young children be told about the home first aid kit?
A. How to use the items. B. What it contains.
C. Where to place it. D. When to fetch it.
3. Why should the home first aid kit be examined regularly?
A. To make it clean and tidy. B. To make sure it’s available.
C. To be familiar with the items. D. To learn to deal with emergencies.
B
Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.
Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.
Eat breakfast.Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories more during the day than their colleagues (同事) who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.
Don’t skip lunch. If you do so your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.
We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.
Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.
Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get ahead start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.
4. How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage?
A. 5. B. 6.
C. 7. D. 8.
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be.
B. Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruits and vegetables are equally important.
C. It is suggested that you eat your dinner at seven if you plan to go to bed at ten.
D. It is good for your health to eat fruits and vegetables at each meal every day.
6. The underlined word “raisins” most probably means .
A. dried grapes B. peach leaves
C. pieces of cheese D. peanuts
7. Who is this passage intended for?
A. Students. B. Office workers.
C. Housewives. D. Cooks.
C
A Thief in the Night

When the stranger had gone, James was a little relieved. However, a few minutes later, James had a feeling that the bumping could hardly have been an accident.

A new mobile application called Farm Assistant was developed by Wu Zeyin. Wu is 11 years old now, who moved to Botswana with his family in 2016.
During the past years living in the country, Wu found that the quantity of fruit and vegetables sold at local supermarkets was very limited and the quality was poor. Some vegetables weren’t ripe, such as small carrots and green tomatoes. They are also quite expensive. Tropical savanna (草原) and desert climates are typical in most parts of the country. This makes it difficult to grow common crops. Drought-tolerant species of corn, sorghum and beans are also uncommon.
For a long time, due to the food shortage, Botswana had to import many grains, fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries to meet the needs of its people.
In July last year, Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, successfully kicked off a pilot project to grow China’s water-saving and drought-tolerant rice. This brought Wu some new ideas on local agriculture.
The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally. These include tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corn, carrots, cabbage, eggplant and radishes. Farmers who use the application can click on the crop picture. They can see its time points of planting, watering needs, ripening time, seed price, selling price and yield. After planting the seeds, farmers click the timer to start. The application reminds them what to do at each stage.
Wu, whose invention has been moving the needle for the life of Botswana farmers, still focuses on solving agricultural problems. He quotes an old saying in China, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and he feeds himself for life. ”
12. Which can be the main reason for Botswana’s food shortage?
A. Limited supplies in local markets. B. Unfavourable climate conditions.
C. Lack of advanced farming techniques. D. Frequent threats from natural disasters.
13. What does the underlined words “kicked off” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Carried out. B. Got rid of. C. Gave away. D. Took over.
14. How can Wu’s application make farmers’ work easier?
A. It improves local planting environment. B. It identifies the commonly grown crops.
C. It teaches farmers when to plant the seeds. D. It provides basic information of the crops.
15. Which can best describe Wu from the last paragraph?
A. Helpful and creative. B. Caring and modest.
C. Optimistic and ambitious. D. Considerate and faithful.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My Parents and I had been planning my brother’s birthday party since the beginning of March. Johnny would be six years old in two weeks. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “I wonder what I can do to make my brother’s birthday special.”
I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint-by-number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the comer.
I decided to empty my coin jar (存钱罐) and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars,” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I had saved.
Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents’ bedroom where my dad kept loose change (零钱) on top of the dresser (梳妆台). I stood on my tiptoes and saw some coins. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once,” I thought.
However, I was soon overcome by guilt (负罪感). Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all. However, I still put all the change I found into my own pocket.
I slid out of my parents’ room and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, Arwen? ” Mom asked, “Oh, just up to the corner store,” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long, Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom” I ran out of our house.
Once I got to the store, I took the paint-by-number kit from the shelf.
“Can I help you, young lady?” the saleswoman asked.
“No. I'm just looking, thank you,” I said.
“That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one.” she said.
注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章讲述了家中拥有急救箱是应对紧急情况的重要举措,对急救箱的选择、使用以及所放的位置进行了说明。
【1题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词后面的定语从句which makes it easy to see the materials inside.可知,它可以很容易让人看到里面的材料。这里的which指代的是先行词container(容器),这里定语从句的内容可以解释container前面的修饰词语,因为人们很容易地看到里面的材料,因此它的意思是“透明的”。结合选项,故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段For younger children who shouldn’t use the items in the kit, teach them where it’s located, so they could show a visitor, relative or babysitter.可知,对于不应该使用工具箱中物品的年幼儿童而言,家长应告诉他们工具箱所在的位置,以便他们能在有突发情况的时候告诉客人,亲戚或保姆。结合选项,故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired (过期了的). Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly.可知,没有人想在拿起急救箱时,发现绷带盒里是空的或者止痛药过期了。要定期查看还有多少可用的东西和有效日期。因此定期查看家庭急救箱的原因在于确保有可用的东西和物品没有失效。To make sure it’s available.意为“确保它可用”。故选B。

Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism (新陈代谢) will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.
We all need to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.
Eat your fruits and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some banana and raisins to your favourite breakfast cereal (谷类食品), have a salad with lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.
Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get ahead start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.

He could not see the stranger clearly but he could tell it was a man of average build, just like himself. His fear began to grow. He tried not to look at the stranger and decided to veer so as to avoid him But when he veered, the stranger veered too. Unfortunately they veered in the same direction and bumped in passing.
When the stranger had gone, James was a little relieved. However, a few minutes later, James had a feeling that the bumping could hardly have been an accident. Why did the stranger veer in the same direction as me? He recalled newspaper reports that thieves pretended to bump into people and picked their pockets. With this thought, James felt for his wallet in his pocket. It was gone.
James had no doubt that the stranger was a thief and had taken his wallet. Anger made him turn around. He caught up with the stranger and bravely demanded his wallet. The man gave it to him and went away.

A new mobile application called Farm Assistant was developed by Wu Zeyin. Wu is 11 years old now, who moved to Botswana with his family in 2016.
During the past years living in the country, Wu found that the quantity of fruit and vegetables sold at local supermarkets was very limited and the quality was poor. Some vegetables weren’t ripe, such as small carrots and green tomatoes. They are also quite expensive. Tropical savanna (草原) and desert climates are typical in most parts of the country. This makes it difficult to grow common crops. Drought-tolerant species of corn, sorghum and beans are also uncommon.
For a long time, due to the food shortage, Botswana had to import many grains, fruits and vegetables from neighboring countries to meet the needs of its people.
In July last year, Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, successfully kicked off a pilot project to grow China’s water-saving and drought-tolerant rice. This brought Wu some new ideas on local agriculture.
The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally. These include tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corn, carrots, cabbage, eggplant and radishes. Farmers who use the application can click on the crop picture. They can see its time points of planting, watering needs, ripening time, seed price, selling price and yield. After planting the seeds, farmers click the timer to start. The application reminds them what to do at each stage.
Wu, whose invention has been moving the needle for the life of Botswana farmers, still focuses on solving agricultural problems. He quotes an old saying in China, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and he feeds himself for life. ”
12. Which can be the main reason for Botswana’s food shortage?
A. Limited supplies in local markets. B. Unfavourable climate conditions.
C. Lack of advanced farming techniques. D. Frequent threats from natural disasters.
13. What does the underlined words “kicked off” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Carried out. B. Got rid of. C. Gave away. D. Took over.
14. How can Wu’s application make farmers’ work easier?
A. It improves local planting environment. B. It identifies the commonly grown crops.
C. It teaches farmers when to plant the seeds. D. It provides basic information of the crops.
15. Which can best describe Wu from the last paragraph?
A. Helpful and creative. B. Caring and modest.
C. Optimistic and ambitious. D. Considerate and faithful.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了吴泽银开发一款名为“农场助手”的手机应用的原因和意义等。

推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Tropical savanna and desert climates are typical in most parts of the country. This makes it difficult to grow common crops. Drought-tolerant species of corn, sorghum and beans are also uncommon. (热带草原和沙漠气候是该国大部分地区的典型气候。这使得种植普通作物变得困难。耐旱的玉米、高粱和豆类品种也很少见。)”可知,Botswana粮食短缺的主要原因是不利的气候条件。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第四段中“a pilot project to grow China’s water-saving and drought-tolerant rice. (中国节水抗旱水稻的试点项目)”可知,Botswana首都Gaborone成功实行了中国节水抗旱水稻的试点项目。A. Carried out执行,实行;B. Got rid of摆脱;C. Gave away放弃;D. Took over接管。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段“The app supports eight crops commonly grown locally. These include tomatoes, potatoes, onions, corn, carrots, cabbage, eggplant and radishes. Farmers who use the application can click on the crop picture. They can see its time points of planting, watering needs, ripening time, seed price, selling price and yield. After planting the seeds, farmers click the timer to start. The application reminds them what to do at each stage. (这款应用支持当地常见的八种作物。这些蔬菜包括西红柿、土豆、洋葱、玉米、胡萝卜、卷心菜、茄子和萝卜。使用该应用程序的农民可以点击农作物图片。他们可以看到它的种植时间点,浇水需求,成熟时间,种子价格,销售价格和产量。播种后,农民按下计时器开始播种。应用程序提醒他们在每个阶段要做什么。)”可知,吴的应用提供了作物的基本信息,使得农民的工作更容易。故选D。

(你的钱和如何管理它是你生活中最重要的一些事情。它们几乎影响你做的每一件事)”和后句“Here are some steps you can take. (下面有一些你可以采取的措施)”可知,管理钱很重要,接下来要介绍管理钱财的方法,可知管理钱财的方法也很重要。由此可知,G选项“Therefore, it is very important to manage your money properly.(因此,正确管理你的钱是非常重要的)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据后文“The first thing you need to do is know where your money is going. See what you are actually spending your money on. There will likely be a few surprises when you see the results of your tracking. You are probably spending more in some areas than you think. (你要做的第一件事就是知道你的钱都花到哪里去了。 看看你到底把钱花在了什么地方。当你看到你记录的结果时,可能会有一些惊喜。你在这些方面的花费可能比你想象的要多)可知,本段主要陈述记录自己的开支。所以选项A选项“Start tracking your spending.(开始记录你的支出)”符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据前句“Set up a budget.(制定预算)”和后文“To manage your money properly and get ahead without money troubles, you need to spend less than you earn. You also need to record where your money comes from and when you receive it. Then, you are able to decide how much of your income(收入) is spent on bills and necessities. Plan how you will spend or save any remaining money. (为了妥善管理你的钱,使你在没有金钱问题的情况下获得成功,你需要开支小于收入。你还需要记录你的收入来源和何时收到它们。然后,你就可以确定你的收入有多少花在了账单和生活必需品上。计划你将如何花费或存下剩余的资金。)”可知,后文讲述的是要对今后的开支做一个规划。由此可知,C选项“If possible, work out a spending plan.(如果可能的话,制定一个支出计划)”符合上下文语境,都是对以后的规划。故选C。
【19题详解】
本段的主题句“Keep your budget on track.(保持预算正常)”可知,要保持预算正常,结合上文“After tracking your spending for a month, you may see some areas where you can cut your spending.(在记录你一个月的开销之后,你可能会发现一些可以削减开支的地方)”可知,空处也陈述保持预算正常的方法。由此可知,E选项“Also you’d better review your budget every few months. (此外你最好每隔几个月回顾一下你的预算)”符合上下文语境,also表明与上文的并列关系,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据前句“To get ahead, you need to save a percentage of your money.(为了能够省钱成功,你需要节省一定比例的钱。)”和后句“Once you get used to it, you may increase it to 20 percent or more.(一旦你习惯了,你可能会增加到20%或更多)”可知,为了能够省钱成功,你需要节省一定比例的钱,省钱的数额是由少到多的。由此可知,F选项“10 percent of your income is a good amount to start with.(你收入的10%对你来说是一个不错的数目)”建议了一个储存的比例,呼应下文20%,符合语境。故选F。

考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员李腾说,木刀将会进入目前世界各地厨房里常见的木制器皿清单。由句子结构可知,空格处动词提示词作后置定语修饰items,且find与其逻辑主语items为被动关系,应使用过去分词形式。故填found。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:他说:“在我们的厨房里,我们有很多用了很长时间的木制东西,比如砧板、筷子、或者擀面杖。根据句意可知,该句表示像砧板、筷子或者擀面杖中的任一一种用具,都用了好久。故填or。
【39题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:如果你磨制这些新型刀具并且对其进行定期保养,它们也可以被使用很多次。主语These new knives与谓语use之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,又因空格前有情态动词can,所以be动词应用原形 ,故填be used。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果你磨制这些新型刀具并且对其进行定期保养,它们也可以被使用很多次。此处指代对上文提到的新型木质刀具进行定期保养,为特指,故填the。
41题详解】
考查副词。句意:根据传统,刀具都是由钢铁制成。该处置于句首,应填写副词,修饰全句。故填Traditionally。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:科学家通过增加木刀中含有的纤维素来提升木刀材质的强度。根据句意可知,该处表示“通过;凭借”之意,应填写by与后面的doing sth构成方式状语,故填by。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:它比大多数钢铁材料具有更高的强度与密度比例。由句中的than可知,该处应填写形容词比较级,对木刀与钢铁材质的刀具进行比较。故填higher。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:木质刀具还有一项额外的优点。由空格后的名词可知,该处空格处词作定语,add与其修饰的advantage为被动关系,故使用过去分词形式作。故填added。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们可能会让我们彻底摆脱对塑料材料的依赖。由空格前的our可知,该处应填写名词,作宾语。故填dependence。

第二节作文2(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My Parents and I had been planning my brother’s birthday party since the beginning of March. Johnny would be six years old in two weeks. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “I wonder what I can do to make my brother’s birthday special.”
I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint-by-number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the comer.
I decided to empty my coin jar (存钱罐) and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars,” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I had saved.
Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents’ bedroom where my dad kept loose change (零钱) on top of the dresser (梳妆台). I stood on my tiptoes and saw some coins. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once,” I thought.
However, I was soon overcome by guilt (负罪感). Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all. However, I still put all the change I found into my own pocket.
I slid out of my parents’ room and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, Arwen? ” Mom asked, “Oh, just up to the corner store,” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long, Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom” I ran out of our house.
Once I got to the store, I took the paint-by-number kit from the shelf.
“Can I help you, young lady?” the saleswoman asked.
“No. I'm just looking, thank you,” I said.
“That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and as you can see, that's the last one.” she said.
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 nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard. Finally, I decided to place the paint-by-number kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, when I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack — just like they were before — and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing.
Paragraph 2:
I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The saleswoman had even agreed that she would keep the paint kit behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I managed to earn the money I needed and bought the kit just one day before Johnny’s birthday. When opening the gift box at his birthday party, Johnny was wild with joy. “Thank you so much, Arwen.” Johnny said, “This kit is so special!” I smiled with content.
【解析】
【分析】本文以为弟弟买生日礼物为线索展开,讲述了作者在弟弟生日来临之前想为他送一件特殊的礼物――the paint-by-number kit (数字涂色小套装),但是自己攒的零钱不够,就去父母房间里私自拿了一些。由于负罪感,她最终将拿的钱放回原处。通过自己劳动攒够钱给弟弟买来礼物的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我点头同意,同时陷入思考。”可知,第一段可描写作者在犹豫到底买不买礼物和把钱还回去。
②由第二段首句内容“我将不得不等直到我自己攒够买礼物所需要的钱。”可知,第二段可描写作者通过自己努力攒够钱,最后买来礼物。
