After their three children grew up and left home, Margaret Thompson and her husband, Kenneth, began taking walking holidays in Switzerland. In Interlaken, they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders (滑翔伞运动员) launch themselves into the sky. Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to the earth."Some day I’d love to do that," Thompson told Kenneth.
But there was always so much to do in Interlaken. Besides, Thompson didn’t know if Kenneth would have enjoyed it. "He was not so keen on heights as I was," she said. So she continued to watch the gliders take fight and land.
Kenneth died in 2005. Eleven years later, Thompson finally took to the skies herself, in a para glider at the age of 80. Although some people get scared while flying, she said she just feels free. Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85, and raised nearly 2,000 for a local charity. Before leaving Interlaken after her second fight, Thompson asked the organizers about the age limit for para gliding. They said: “Any age, as long as you’re fit.” Thompson, now 86, plans her third flight for when she is 90.
Thompson grew up living above her parents shop in Belfast. At 18, she helped in the shop while studying for her music diplomas (文凭) in Stranmillis, south Belfast. She started to teach piano to local children, and at the height of her teaching she gave 70 lessons a week. She still has 15 pupils on her books. “Over the years I’ve had so many that I’m teaching their children now.”
Is she scared of getting older? “Fear? No. People say: ‘Isn’t getting old awful? I say: No. You are free to do more of the things that you want to do.” “People might worry about falling, it being the end of them. But that doesn’t bother me at all. When it’s your time, it’s your time. No matter where you are.” Thompson added.
4. What inspired Thompson to try para gliding at the age of 80?
A. Her long-held curiosity toward it.
B Her husband’s encouragement.
C. Her love for nature and adventure.
D. Her wish to overcome her fear of heights.
5. How did Thompson feel during her first paraglide?
A. Nervous. B. Surprised.
C. Free. D. Uncomfortable.
6. What does Thompson think of aging?
A. It inspires her to reach new heights.
B. It is an opportunity for more freedom.
C. It doesn’t make any difference to her.
D. It limits her ability to do what she wants.
7. How does Thompson view the risks brought by para gliding?
A. They prevent her from enjoying paragliding.
B. They add to the excitement of paragliding.
C. She believes they don’t exist.
D. She accepts whatever may happen.
C
The days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99. 77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.
Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.
The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotels every day. Yuan Qing lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you don’t need to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.
Baidu’s system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of data-more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by holding a mask. Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.
8. What can be learned about the facial recognition technology from the passage?
A. The technology could soon be a thing of the past.
B. The technology can match visitor’s faces with those in the database.
C. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.
D. The technology is being used to track where the 5000 visitors are going.
9. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “stunning” in paragraph 2?
A humorous B. awkward C. attractive D. funny
10. Why has Wuzhen quit using ticket-entry system?
A. Because the tickets were too expensive.
B. Because some people shared their tickets to avoid paying.
C. Because the tickets didn’t sell well.
D. Because the system can be fooled by someone without a mask.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Chinese tourist town Wuzhen is using facial recognition.
B. Baidu, a web company, is using the recognition system.
C. Facial recognition is widely used in China.
D. Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with many visitors going there to see the system.
D
Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems, wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.
The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife. Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.
International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas. They help write legislation(法规), such as the Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes. They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.
National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.
12. Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text?
A. To stop introducing invasive species. B. To encourage harmonious coexistence.
C. To control the number of world people. D. To increase the use of natural resources.
13. What is the biggest threat to wildlife?
A. Hunting. B. Human activity. C. Pollution. D. Climate change.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The activities of protection areas.
B. The importance of biodiversity promotion.
C. The relevant efforts of international organizations.
D. The great impact of wildlife crimes on ecosystems.
15. What does the author want to present in the last paragraph?
A The necessity of legislation.
B. The wildlife conservation’s achievements.
C. The individuals’ contributions to the environment.
D. The statistics about the wildlife conservation efforts.

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。
When I was eleven years old, I moved to Tampa, Florida. My parents traveled for a living, so Aunt Emily took care of me while they were away. One rainy morning, there was an old lady who was dressed in a bright orange coat carrying a rubbish bag and a stick. “What’s that old lady doing?” I asked Emily, pointing out the window to the street in front of the house.
Hearing my question, Emily answered, “She’s picking up rubbish around here for fun.” “Oh,” I answered. “Interesting… Why would someone think picking up rubbish was fun?” For a long time, often saw that old lady—rain or shine—on my way to school. In the beginning, I thought she was crazy to pick up rubbish. However, I finally smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.
Later, when I moved to college, I’d see rubbish in the grass and feel really angry about it. I’d think, “Why isn’t anyone picking up rubbish? People are so unconcerned!” But shortly after that, I said to myself, “Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty?” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty (内疚的).
So while walking in the college, I began picking up rubbish and made sure the campus was in better shape than I previously found it. My behavior influenced some students. They started to help out.
Like me, they also picked up rubbish whenever they noticed it. And our college became more beautiful. Seeing it, I began to think, “If I could pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town, it may make a big difference to the town.”
But picking up rubbish in front of many people outside the college needs courage. It could be embarrassing. But it was the right thing to do. I decided to try it.
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。
Paragraph 1:
One morning, I went out to pick up rubbish.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town.

After their three children grew up and left home, Margaret Thompson and her husband, Kenneth, began taking walking holidays in Switzerland. In Interlaken, they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders (滑翔伞运动员) launch themselves into the sky. Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to the earth."Some day I’d love to do that," Thompson told Kenneth.
But there was always so much to do in Interlaken. Besides, Thompson didn’t know if Kenneth would have enjoyed it. "He was not so keen on heights as I was," she said. So she continued to watch the gliders take fight and land.
Kenneth died in 2005. Eleven years later, Thompson finally took to the skies herself, in a para glider at the age of 80. Although some people get scared while flying, she said she just feels free. Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85, and raised nearly 2,000 for a local charity. Before leaving Interlaken after her second fight, Thompson asked the organizers about the age limit for para gliding. They said: “Any age, as long as you’re fit.” Thompson, now 86, plans her third flight for when she is 90.
Thompson grew up living above her parents shop in Belfast. At 18, she helped in the shop while studying for her music diplomas (文凭) in Stranmillis, south Belfast. She started to teach piano to local children, and at the height of her teaching she gave 70 lessons a week. She still has 15 pupils on her books. “Over the years I’ve had so many that I’m teaching their children now.”
Is she scared of getting older? “Fear? No. People say: ‘Isn’t getting old awful? I say: No. You are free to do more of the things that you want to do.” “People might worry about falling, it being the end of them. But that doesn’t bother me at all. When it’s your time, it’s your time. No matter where you are.” Thompson added.
4. What inspired Thompson to try para gliding at the age of 80?
A. Her long-held curiosity toward it.
B. Her husband’s encouragement.
C. Her love for nature and adventure.
D. Her wish to overcome her fear of heights.
5. How did Thompson feel during her first paraglide?
A. Nervous. B. Surprised.
C. Free. D. Uncomfortable.
6. What does Thompson think of aging?
A. It inspires her to reach new heights.
B. It is an opportunity for more freedom.
C. It doesn’t make any difference to her.
D. It limits her ability to do what she wants.
7. How does Thompson view the risks brought by para gliding?
A. They prevent her from enjoying paragliding.
B. They add to the excitement of paragliding.
C. She believes they don’t exist.
D. She accepts whatever may happen.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D

In Interlaken, they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders (滑翔伞运动员) launch themselves into the sky. Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to the earth."Some day I’d love to do that," Thompson told Kenneth.”(在他们的三个孩子长大离开家后,玛格丽特·汤普森和她的丈夫肯尼斯开始在瑞士徒步度假。在因特拉肯,他们会爬到山上,观看滑翔伞飞向天空。回到城里,在一个大公园里,他们看着他们回到了地面。汤普森告诉肯尼斯:“总有一天我也想这么做。”)以及第二段中“Besides, Thompson didn’t know if Kenneth would have enjoyed it. "He was not so keen on heights as I was," she said. So she continued to watch the gliders take fight and land.”(此外,汤普森不知道肯尼斯是否会喜欢。“他不像我那么喜欢爬高,”她说。于是她继续观看滑翔伞飞行和降落。)可知,汤普森在观看滑翔伞运动员起飞和降落时,表达了自己希望有一天能够尝试滑翔伞的愿望。因此,她的兴趣和好奇心激发了她在80岁时尝试滑翔伞。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although some people get scared while flying, she said she just feels free.”(虽然有些人在飞行时会感到害怕,但她说她只是觉得自由。)可知,汤普森在第一次尝试滑翔伞时并没有感到害怕,相反,她感到自由。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Is she scared of getting older? “Fear? No. People say: ‘Isn’t getting old awful? I say: No. You are free to do more of the things that you want to do.””(她害怕变老吗?“害怕吗?不。人们说:‘变老不是很可怕吗?我说:不。你可以自由地做更多你想做的事情。)可推知,汤普森认为年龄的增长让她能做更多自己想做的事情。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““People might worry about falling, it being the end of them. But that doesn’t bother me at all. When it’s your time, it’s your time. No matter where you are.” Thompson added.”(人们可能会担心摔倒,这是他们的末日。”但这一点也不困扰我。轮到你的时候,就是你的时候。不管你在哪里。”汤普森补充说。)可推知,汤普森并不担心滑翔伞期间可能会摔落的风险,接受可能发生的任何事情。故选D项。
C
The days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99. 77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.
Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.
The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotels every day. Yuan Qing lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you don’t need to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.
Baidu’s system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of data-more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by holding a mask. Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.
8. What can be learned about the facial recognition technology from the passage?
A. The technology could soon be a thing of the past.
B. The technology can match visitor’s faces with those in the database.
C. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.
D. The technology is being used to track where the 5000 visitors are going.
9. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “stunning” in paragraph 2?
A. humorous B. awkward C. attractive D. funny
10. Why has Wuzhen quit using ticket-entry system?
A. Because the tickets were too expensive.
B. Because some people shared their tickets to avoid paying.
C. Because the tickets didn’t sell well.
D. Because the system can be fooled by someone without a mask.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Chinese tourist town Wuzhen is using facial recognition.
B. Baidu, a web company, is using the recognition system.
C. Facial recognition is widely used in China.
D. Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with many visitors going there to see the system.

Wildlife conservation is the practice of protecting plant and animal species and their habitats. As part of the world’s ecosystems wildlife provides balance and stability to nature’s processes. Wildlife conservation is aimed to ensure the survival of these species and educate people on living sustainably with other species.
The number of people has grown to more than eight billion today, and it continues to rapidly grow. The economic growth endangers the habitats and existence of various types of wildlife around the world, particularly animals and plants that may be displaced for land development, or used for food or other human purposes. This threat is at top of the list and means natural resources are being consumed faster than ever by the billions of people on the planet. The introduction of invasive species from other parts of the world is another threat to wildlife. Other threats include climate change, pollution, fishing and hunting.
International organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Wildlife Conservation Society and the United Nations work to support global animal and habitat conservation on many different fronts. They work with the government to establish and protect public lands, like national parks and wildlife protection areas. They help write legislation(法规), such as the Endangered Species Act(ESA)of 1973 in the United States, to protect various species. They work with law enforcement to charge those with wildlife crimes. They also promote biodiversity to support the growing human population while preserving existing species and habitats.
National Geographic Explorers, like conservation biologists Camille Coudrat and Titus Adhola, are working to slow the extinction of global species and protect global biodiversity and habitats. Environmental filmmakers and photographers, like Thomas P. Peschak, are essential to conservation efforts as well, documenting and bringing attention to endangered wildlife all over the world.
12. Which is a goal of wildlife conservation according to the text?
A. To stop introducing invasive species. B. To encourage harmonious coexistence.
C. To control the number of world people. D. To increase the use of natural resources.
13. What is the biggest threat to wildlife?
A. Hunting. B. Human activity. C. Pollution. D. Climate change.
14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The activities of protection areas.
B. The importance of biodiversity promotion.
C. The relevant efforts of international organizations.
D. The great impact of wildlife crimes on ecosystems.
15. What does the author want to present in the last paragraph?
A. The necessity of legislation.
B. The wildlife conservation’s achievements.
C. The individuals’ contributions to the environment.
D. The statistics about the wildlife conservation efforts.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是跑步的好处以及在跑步过程中需要注意的事情。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,如果你曾经亲自上路,你就知道跑步并不是那么容易。空格处用副词修饰动词hit,personal的副词是personally,意为“亲自”,故填personally。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:成功和令人满意的跑步比我们看到的要多得多。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词run,run是“跑步”,用ing结尾的形容词satisfying修饰,意为“令人满意的”。故填satisfying。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:受伤绝对不是一件有趣的事。空格处用名词作主语,injure的名词是injury,意为“受伤”,此处为抽象概念,不可数,故填Injury。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:确保你的鞋子能支撑你的步伐,这是一个简单的方法,可以帮助你保持身体安全和身体强壮。way是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,easy是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:合适的鞋子有助于你的体形,如果你的脚感觉良好,那么你可以增加你的跑步里程。“The right shoes help your form”和“if your feet feel good then you can add more miles to your run”之间是并列关系,因此空格处用and表并列,故填and。
【41题详解】
考查最高级。句意:最好的运动动力之一就是看到你周围的人也在做同样的事情。“one of +形容词最高级+名词复数”是固定搭配,表示“最……之一”,故空处填最高级。故填best。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:跑步社区一次又一次地提醒你,当你犹豫是否继续时,有人不会让你放弃自己。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词people是人,因此空格处用who/that引导定语从句,故填who/that。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:跑步社区一次又一次地提醒你,当你犹豫是否继续时,有人不会让你放弃自己。hesitate to do是固定短语,意为“犹豫做某事”,因此空格处是不定式to continue,故填to continue。
【44题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:跑步组织中的跑步者有自己的旅程,但他们经常受到其他人努力工作的鼓舞,他们总是希望看到每个成员都坚持自己的旅程并获胜。空处为并列句的谓语动词,主语they(指代上文runners)和inspire是被动关系,由and they always want可知,时态是一般现在时,因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态,主语they是复数,因此空格处是are inspired。故填are inspired。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:跑步组织中跑步者有自己的旅程,但他们经常受到其他人努力工作的鼓舞,他们总是希望看到每个成员都坚持自己的旅程并获胜。stick to是固定短语,意为“坚持”,因此空格处是介词to,故填to。

【答案】Dear Paul,
Our school organized a field trip to Xixi Wetland for students last weekend. Xixi Wetland is an ecosystem that blends urban life with natural wetlands, known as the “green lung” of Hangzhou. We enjoyed drifting along the river, walking along the trails, observing birds and flowers, and experiencing the traditional countryside life. We also held a wetland park photography competition.

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。
When I was eleven years old, I moved to Tampa, Florida. My parents traveled for a living, so Aunt Emily took care of me while they were away. One rainy morning, there was an old lady who was dressed in a bright orange coat carrying a rubbish bag and a stick. “What’s that old lady doing?” I asked Emily, pointing out the window to the street in front of the house.
Hearing my question, Emily answered, “She’s picking up rubbish around here for fun.” “Oh,” I answered. “Interesting… Why would someone think picking up rubbish was fun?” For a long time, often saw that old lady—rain or shine—on my way to school. In the beginning, I thought she was crazy to pick up rubbish. However, I finally smiled and waved at her each time I saw her.
Later, when I moved to college, I’d see rubbish in the grass and feel really angry about it. I’d think, “Why isn’t anyone picking up rubbish? People are so unconcerned!” But shortly after that, I said to myself, “Why do I think picking up rubbish is someone else’s duty?” And I couldn’t walk past trash without feeling guilty (内疚的).
So while walking in the college, I began picking up rubbish and made sure the campus was in better shape than I previously found it. My behavior influenced some students. They started to help out.
Like me, they also picked up rubbish whenever they noticed it. And our college became more beautiful. Seeing it, I began to think, “If I could pick up rubbish outside the college—in other places of the town, it may make a big difference to the town.”
But picking up rubbish in front of many people outside the college needs courage. It could be embarrassing. But it was the right thing to do. I decided to try it.
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。
Paragraph 1:
One morning, I went out to pick up rubbish.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
One morning, I went out to pick up rubbish. Some people watched me with a strange look that seemed to say I was crazy. And suddenly, I remembered that old lady who often picked up rubbish years ago. The interesting thing was that I was acting just like her! As strange as it might sound, picking up rubbish is kind of fun for me! Gradually, many people realized I was volunteering to help make our town clean. They praised me and thanked me.
Paragraph 2:
Then I decided to encourage more students to do this in the town. Surprisingly, they agreed and we set up a volunteer organization. We bought each student a bright orange coat with words on it: Let’s make our town cleaner! And we took time to not only pick up rubbish but also sort through it and recycle it. Something amazing happened—the strangers around us helped out too! I thought to myself: “The old lady made all this happen; she made a big difference in my life.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以捡垃圾为线索展开。讲述了作者在少年时经常见到一经常捡垃圾的老妇人,所以开始疑惑老人为什么经常捡垃圾,姑姑的一句“她捡垃圾是为了好玩”让作者对捡垃圾这件事情有了最初的认识。但是到了大学以后作者发现很多人对于草丛里的垃圾是视而不见时又有了新的困惑和担心。作者想捡,却又怕被嘲笑,但最终战胜了胆小的自己,勇敢地捡起了垃圾,而作者的行为也带动了更多的人来捡垃圾。
