There’s nothing quite like a good road trip, is there? What is a better way to explore a new part of the world, see the sights and experience magical scenery on your way? Here are some perfect roads that can take your Instagram feed to the next level.
Route 66
Some things never change. Even though Route 66 was officially removed from the US Highway System almost 40 years ago, it remains one of the world’s most popular and culturally significant roads. Many sections of the road feature in the United States’ Register of Historic Places, highlighting how important Route 66 is to American identity. Route 66,a must-visit for any road enthusiast, is the most-Instagrammed road in the world.
Abbey Road
Home to perhaps the most famous image in music history — the Beatles album cover — Camden’s Abbey Road is near the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Abbey Road is a pilgrimage (瞻仰) site for Beatles’ fans around the world, most of whom look to recreate the iconic crossing photo! The studio where the Beatles recorded their eleventh album still remains active today.
Carretera Austral
Chile’s Route 7 is also known as the Carretera Austral, which translates to the Southern Way. This 770-mile road provides access to Chilean Patagonia and is one of Chile’s most sparsely populated areas — with fewer than one person per square kilometre on average! Carretera Austral has a range of scenery to enjoy, from the vast rainforest to the hanging glacier in Queulat National Park.
Great Ocean Road
Sprawling 150 miles across Australia’s south-easterly coast, the Great Ocean Road is an incomparable drive for any road trip enthusiast. It is also the world’s largest war memorial, making it a poignant (令人感伤的) but beautiful expedition. Built between 1919 and 1932 by Australian soldiers on their return from the First World War, the Great Ocean Road links the towns of Torquay and Allansford.
1. Which road best suits a music lover?
A. Route 66 in America. B. Abbey Road in Britain.
C. Carretera Austral in Chile. D. Great Ocean Road in Australia.
2. Why does Great Ocean Road make travelers depressed?
A. Travelers can’t drive freely.
B. The road trip is adventurous.
C. The road reminds people of a war.
D. Many sections of the road are destroyed.
3. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To educate. B. To comment. C. To conclude. D. To recommend.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D

B
Gabby Douglas was just 16 when she caught the world’s attention at the 2012 Olympics where she won gold in the all-around event. From her early days on the gym floor to her life after finding Olympic fame, the transformation (改变) of Gabby Douglas has been quite the stunning one indeed.
Gabby Douglas’ talent for gymnastics was apparent from a young age. At the tender age of three, the younger Douglas was turning cartwheels. Just two years after beginning her formal gymnastics training. Douglas won Virginia’s state gymnastics championship. She racked up more wins over the years, and it was soon evident that she wasn’t just a talented gymnast, but a possible Olympic competitor.
At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. She’d already been homeschooled for years to focus on her training, and she set her sights on training with Liang Chow, a coach who has worked with Shawn Johnson. But Chow’s gym was in West Des Moines, Iowa — not exactly within commuting distance of her home in Virginia. Moving halfway across the country was not easy for the young Gabby Douglas. She felt seriously out of place as one of few black people there.
Douglas also felt much anxiety about chasing her Olympic dream. It would be years before Douglas opened up about the fears she faced on her road to the Olympics. She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt…You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.”
Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. She said, “It was just insane knowing that I had spent my whole life dreaming about this one specific goal and achieved it.”
4. What made Douglas decide to have a change at 14?
A. Her Olympic dream. B. Her talent for gymnastics.
C. Her desire to train with Liang Chow. D. Her tiredness of being homeschooled.
5. Why was Douglas anxious when chasing her dream?
A. She thought she was not talented enough.
B. She had to compete with Shawn Johnson.
C. She was unable to adapt to the training in Iowa.
D. She was uncertain about how to get to the Olympics.
6. What words can be used to best describe Douglas?
A. Talented but crazy. B. Fearless but bad-tempered.
C. Optimistic and determined. D. Committed and independent.
7. What can we learn from Douglas’s story?
A. Care and diligence bring luck. B. A good beginning is half done.
C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是在2012年奥运会上赢得了全能项目的金牌并引起了全世界关注的年仅16岁的Gabby Douglas。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change.(14岁的Gabby Douglas知道,要想参加奥运会,她需要做出改变。)”可知,要想参加奥运会,Gabby Douglas需要做出改变,由此可知,是她的奥运梦想让Douglas在14岁时决定改变。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt…You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.”(她曾经说过:“当我开始这段旅程时,我从来不知道要参加奥运会需要付出什么代价。我有很多自我怀疑……你必须相信自己足够好,不要放弃。”)”可知,Douglas在追逐自己梦想的时候感到焦虑的原因是她不确定自己如何才能参加奥运会。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I had a lot of self-doubt…You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.(我有很多自我怀疑……你必须相信自己足够好,不要放弃。)”可知,在Douglas自己有些怀疑自己的时候,相信自己足够好,不放弃,由此可知,她是一个乐观的人,结合尾段中的“Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey.( Douglas最终下定决心坚持自己的梦想,无论路途多么艰难。)”可知,最终Douglas不畏艰难,下定决心坚持自己的梦想,由此可知,Douglas是一个坚决的人,综合以上信息可知,Douglas是一个既乐观又坚定的人。故选C项。
7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. (14岁的Gabby Douglas知道,要想参加奥运会,她需要做出改变。)”和倒数第二段中的“She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt…You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.”(她曾经说过:“当我开始这段旅程时,我从来不知道要参加奥运会需要付出什么代价。我有很多自我怀疑……你必须相信自己足够好,不要放弃。”)”可知,14岁的Gabby Douglas为了参加奥运会做出很多的改变,在实现她的奥运梦想时她甚至有过自我怀疑,但她相信自己足够好,仍旧没有放弃,结合尾段中的“Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around—making her the first black woman to do so.(道格拉斯最终下定决心坚持自己的梦想,无论路途多么艰难。她不仅帮助她的团队赢得了金牌,而且还赢得了全能项目的金牌——这使她成为第一位获得金牌的黑人女性。)”可知,最终她下定决心坚持自己的梦想,并且成为第一位获得金牌的黑人女性,综合以上信息可知,从道格拉斯的故事中学到的是“有志者事竟成”的道理。故选D项。
C
Rivers and streams in Alaska are changing colors — from a clean, clear blue to a rust y orange — because of the toxic metal s released by thawing permafrost (融化的冻土), according to a new study.
The finding surprised researchers who conducted tests at 75 locations in the waterways of Alaska’s Brooks Range. The rivers and streams in the range appeared to rust and became cloudy and orange over the past five to 10 years, according to the study published in the journal Communications: Earth & Environment.
The discoloration (变色) and cloudiness are being caused by metal s such as iron and lead, some of which are toxic to the river and stream ecosystems — as permafrost thaws and exposes the waterways to minerals locked away underground for thousands of years.
“We’re used to seeing this in parts of California where we have mining history. This is a classic process that happens in rivers here for over 100 years,” said Brett Poulin, a co-author of the study and a professor of environmental toxicology at UC Davis. “But it’s very shocking to see it in some of the most remote wilderness and far from a mine source,” Brett added.
Arctic soils naturally contain organic carbon, nutrients and metals within their permafrost. High temperatures have caused these minerals and the water sources around them to meet as permafrost melts. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world. “It’s really an unexpected consequence of climate change,” said Brett.
This discoloration has been linked to dramatic declines in sea life, raising concerns about how the continued melting of permafrost will affect communities that rely on those waterways for drinkıng and fishing.
These studies have extended beyond the US in the past. Similar research on increases in metal and rare earth element concentrations in mountain rivers and streams has been done in the European Alps and the Pyrenees in northern Spain. Although some of these areas have been exposed to mining sites and thus have seen metal concentrations in rivers and streams over the years, the noted increases raise questions about how climate change will continue to impact mountain water sources.
8. What leads to color changes in the waterways in Alaska?
A. Fast circulation of water. B. A long history of mining.
C. Exposure of certain minerals. D. Imbalanced water ecosystems.
9. What do Brett’s words indicate about the unusual discoloration?
A. It’s a natural process in Alaska. B. It often happens in the wilderness.
C. It existed in California not long ago. D. It’s linked to the rise in temperature.
10. Which can be a possible result of the phenomenon?
A. Fishermen will catch fewer fish.
B. The Arctic will be warmer and warmer.
C. Metal concentrations in water will drop quickly.
D. Most European mining sites will be closed down.
11. What can be the best title for the article?
A. Melting Permafrost in the Arctic.
B. Color change of waterways in Alaska.
C. The impact of climate change worldwide.
D. Underground minerals exposed in California.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了了阿拉斯加水道颜色变化的现象以及其背后的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段The discoloration and cloudiness are being caused by metals such as iron and lead, some of which are toxic to the river and stream ecosystems—as permafrost thaws and exposes the waterways to minerals locked away underground for thousands of years.(变色和浑浊是由铁和铅等金属引起的,其中一些对河流和溪流生态系统有毒——随着永久冻土融化,将地下数千年的矿物质暴露在水道中。)可知,变色和浑浊的原因是永久冻土融化,导致地下的矿物质(如铁和铅)暴露在水道中,这些矿物质对河流和溪流生态系统有毒。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段Brett说的话“But it’s very shocking to see it in some of the most remote wilderness and far from a mine source. It’s really an unexpected consequence of climate change.(但看到它出现在一些最偏远的荒野中,远离矿区,这非常令人震惊。这确实是气候变化的一个意想不到的后果。)”可知,布雷特表示,变色现象与气候变化有关,D项温度上升是气候变化的一种体现,符合题意。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第六段This discoloration has been linked to dramatic declines in sea life, raising concerns about how the continued melting of permafrost will affect communities that rely on those waterways for drinking and fishing.(这种变色与海洋生物数量的急剧下降有关,引发了人们对永久冻土持续融化将如何影响依赖这些水道获取饮用水和进行捕鱼的群体的担忧。)可知,变色现象导致海洋生物数量急剧下降,可能带来的后果是渔民捕获的鱼更少。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段Rivers and streams in Alaska are changing colors(阿拉斯加的河流和溪流正在改变颜色)直接点出了阿拉斯加水道颜色变化的现象,后面对这一现象产生的原因以及可能带来的影响进行了论述,综合上下文,本文都是围绕阿拉斯加水道变色这一事件展开,所以最佳的标题应该是“阿拉斯加水道的颜色变化”。故选B。
D
“Merry Christmas from the Family”, a country song by Robert Earl Keen, tells the tale of a festive get-together. Many listeners will recognize the chaos (混乱) the singer describes; even more than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle to recall how he is related to the various guests. “Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen,” Mr. Keen sings, “Can’t remember how I’m kin (有亲属关系的) to them.”
That may have something to do with the English language. It is often joked that anyone around your age is a “cousin” and anyone older is an “uncle” or “aunt”. English is rather bare in its terms for family members. Other languages pay far more attention to the details.
Take “brother” and “sister” for instance. Societies that value age-order highly often have different terms for older brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese or ani, ane, ototo, imoto in Japanese.
Chinese even requires the speakers to remember whether a relative is older or younger than they are, whether relatives of their parents are older or younger than they, and so on. There are many armchair theories about the relationship between language and culture that do not hold up to careful examination. The East Asian languages’ focus on seniority (年长), however, is actually related to the importance Confucianism places on the virtue of respecting your elders.
Actually, all languages permit you to describe relationships in any amount of detail your listener would like. The focus that some cultures put on labelling every possible relation with a distinct term does not mean that those who lack those terms do not pay attention to family networks. Every English-speaking family seems to have at least one member who can sort out the complicated relations and tell you that Henry Ford was a great-great-great uncle. But each family also has members who couldn’t care less, waving a hand and saying “uncle” or “cousin”.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By criticizing a forgetful guest. B. By praising a recognized singer.
C. By illustrating a shared experience. D. By presenting a chaotic get-together.
13. Why does the author mention the examples of Chinese and Japanese?
A. To indicate their respect for the elders.
B. To make a contrast with English language.
C. To emphasize the influence of Confucianism.
D. To make an analysis of East Asian languages.
14. What does “armchair theories” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Baseless assumptions. B. Detailed descriptions.
C. Contradictory thoughts. D. Convincing explanations.
15 What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Labelling every relation is no easy.
B. English speakers value family networks as well.
C. Some people enjoy sorting out complicated relations.
D. General terms for relatives indicate weaker family bond.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了在不同的语言中的称呼。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“‘Merry Christmas from the Family’, a country song by Robert Earl Keen, tells the tale of a festive get-together. Many listeners will recognize the chaos(混乱) the singer describes; even more than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle to recall how he is related to the various guests. ‘Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen,’ Mr. Keen sings, ‘Can’t remember how I’m kin (有亲属关系的) to them.’ (罗伯特·厄尔·基恩的乡村歌曲《家庭的圣诞快乐》讲述了一个节日聚会的故事。许多听众会认出歌手描述的混乱;更重要的是,他们肯定会认同他努力回忆自己与各种客人的关系。“弗雷德和丽塔从哈林根开车过来,”基恩先生唱道,“我不记得我和他们是什么亲戚了。”)”可知,第一段用罗伯特·厄尔·基恩的乡村歌曲引出人们都会认可的一段经历——在聚会上要努力回忆自己与各种客人的关系、看对方是否是亲戚,可得出文章通过阐述一个共同经历来引出话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“That may have something to do with the English language. It is often joked that anyone around your age is a ‘cousin’ and anyone older is an ‘uncle’ or ‘aunt’. English is rather bare in its terms for family members. Other languages pay far more attention to the details. (这可能与英语语言有关。人们经常开玩笑说,和你年龄相仿的人是“表亲”,比你大的人是“叔叔”或“阿姨”。英语对家庭成员来说是相当贫乏的。其他语言更注重细节。)”以及文章第三段“Take ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ for instance. Societies that value age-order highly often have different terms for older brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese or ani, ane, ototo, imoto in Japanese. (以“兄弟”和“姐妹”为例。高度重视年龄顺序的社会通常对哥哥、姐姐、弟弟和妹妹有不同的称呼。中文分别是“哥”、“姐”、“弟”、“妹”,日语是“ani”、“ane”、“ototo”、“imoto”。)”可知,首先说明的是在英语国家的称呼,其次说明的是中国和日本的称呼,通过比较说明不同语言体系中的不同称呼。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段“Chinese even requires the speakers to remember whether a relative is older or younger than they are, whether relatives of their parents are older or younger than they, and so on. (汉语甚至要求说话者记住亲戚比自己大还是小,父母的亲戚比自己大还是小,等等。)”以及“The East Asian languages’ focus on seniority (年长), however, is actually related to the importance Confucianism places on the virtue of respecting your elders. (然而,东亚语言对资历的关注实际上与儒教对尊老美德的重视有关。)”首先说明的是在汉语中要记住亲戚比自己大还是小,其次说明这种称呼现象是与儒教对“尊老美德”的重视有关,可知在东亚,语言和文化之间的关系是经得起检验的,由however可得出,画线词所在句应该说明的是有些关于称呼的理论是经不起检验的,所以画线词的意思应该为“无根据的假设”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The focus that some cultures put on labelling every possible relation with a distinct term does not mean that those who lack those terms do not pay attention to family networks. Every English-speaking family seems to have at least one member who can sort out the complicated relations and tell you that Henry Ford was a great-great-great uncle. (有些文化把重点放在用一个独特的术语来标记每一种可能的关系上,但这并不意味着那些没有这些术语的人不注意家庭网络。每个说英语的家庭似乎都至少有一个成员能够理清复杂的关系,并告诉你亨利·福特(Henry Ford)是一位曾曾曾叔祖父。)”可知,英国家庭中也有至少有一个成员能够理清复杂的关系,可得出作者想要表达的是在英语国家里人们也重视家庭网络关系。故选B。
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能填入空白处的最佳选项;选项中有两项为多余选项。
In 1985, 16-year-old Douglas Casa, ran the championship 10,000 meter track race at the Empire State Games. Suddenly, with just 200 meters to go, he collapsed on the final straightaway, with his body temperature at dangerous levels. He had suffered an exertional heat stroke(运动型中暑) or sunstroke. ____16____
From ancient soldiers on the battlefield to modern warriors on the gridiron(足球球场), exertional heat stroke, has long been a serious concern. And unlike classical heat stroke, which affects people such as babies and the elderly during heat waves, exertional heat stroke is caused by intense exercise in the heat. ____17____
So how do you diagnose an exertional heat stroke? The main criterion is a core body temperature greater than 40℃ along with signs of central nervous system disfunction such as confused behavior, or loss of consciousness.
As far as treatment goes, the most important thing to remember is cool first, transport second. The human body can withstand a core temperature above 40℃ for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in. ____18____ After any athletic or protective gear has been removed from the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and monitoring vitals continuously. ____19____ As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive. If medical staff are available on site, cooling should continue until a core temperature of 38.9℃ is reached.
____20____ As Dr. J Levick wrote of exertional heat stroke in 1859, “It strikes down its victim with his full armor on. Youth, health and strength oppose no obstacle to its power.” But don’t be frightened so much for it has been 100% survivable with proper care.
A. Fortunately he survived with immediate treatment.
B. When possible seek out places with air-conditioners.
C. So it’s necessary to start cooling as quickly as possible.
D. But emergency services should be called before you start.
E. The sun can also take lives away if people are not careful.
F. So far it has been one of the top three killers of athletes in training.
G. It is important to keep the body temperature close to its normal temperature.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. D 20. E

(如果人们不小心,太阳也会夺走生命。)“The sun can also take lives away”与“for it has been 100% survivable with proper care”相呼应;选项E能够作为本段的主题句。故选E。

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。
I still remember the day when we decorated the house, I was ten and it was two weeks before Christmas. I was looking forward to my presents. Since I’m the youngest in the family, all of the family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good.
My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before Christmas and that year I knew what I wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn’t expecting.
It was two weeks before Christmas. Just two weeks. She couldn’t wait. My dear mother told my father that it was time, and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister now. But I didn’t want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life is never going to be the same ever again. I wasn’t ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before Christmas, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn’t ask me anything about the gift. She stole everything I’d ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried to sleep. I had a nightmare (噩梦) and woke up at the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents’ bedroom but couldn’t wake up my poor parents who were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed.
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。
Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After having comforted her, something slowly changed inside me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying. Panic at first, I then realized that it was just a car passing by. But she felt uneasy, her mouth wide opening, arms waving, and legs kicking. I thought she might be scared too, so I held out my hand to hold hers, patting her on the back with the other. I even moved a bit closer to her little bed, whispering my favorite song to her ears, just as my mum did when I got scared. Surprisingly, she seemed to understand me and stopped crying. Looking into her big eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief.
After having comforted her, something slowly changed inside me. The sense of loneliness was replaced by the responsibility of being an elder brother. Even though her arrival took over the center of the whole family initially, she started to become the center of my attention too. With her cute round face and sparkling eyes, she also won my love and care for her. I looked around and found my parents, awake, smiling at me. With a shadow of a happy family cast on the window, I felt my little sister was the best gift I'd ever got.

A
There’s nothing quite like a good road trip, is there? What is a better way to explore a new part of the world, see the sights and experience magical scenery on your way? Here are some perfect roads that can take your Instagram feed to the next level.
Route 66
Some things never change. Even though Route 66 was officially removed from the US Highway System almost 40 years ago, it remains one of the world’s most popular and culturally significant roads. Many sections of the road feature in the United States’ Register of Historic Places, highlighting how important Route 66 is to American identity. Route 66,a must-visit for any road enthusiast, is the most-Instagrammed road in the world.
Abbey Road
Home to perhaps the most famous image in music history — the Beatles album cover — Camden’s Abbey Road is near the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Abbey Road is a pilgrimage (瞻仰) site for Beatles’ fans around the world, most of whom look to recreate the iconic crossing photo! The studio where the Beatles recorded their eleventh album still remains active today.
Carretera Austral
Chile’s Route 7 is also known as the Carretera Austral which translates to the Southern Way. This 770-mile road provides access to Chilean Patagonia and is one of Chile’s most sparsely populated areas — with fewer than one person per square kilometre on average! Carretera Austral has a range of scenery to enjoy, from the vast rainforest to the hanging glacier in Queulat National Park.
Great Ocean Road
Sprawling 150 miles across Australia’s south-easterly coast, the Great Ocean Road is an incomparable drive for any road trip enthusiast. It is also the world’s largest war memorial, making it a poignant (令人感伤的) but beautiful expedition. Built between 1919 and 1932 by Australian soldiers on their return from the First World War, the Great Ocean Road links the towns of Torquay and Allansford.
1. Which road best suits a music lover?
A. Route 66 in America. B. Abbey Road in Britain.

2. Why does Great Ocean Road make travelers depressed?
A. Travelers can’t drive freely.
B. The road trip is adventurous.
C. The road reminds people of a war.
D. Many sections of the road are destroyed.
3. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article?

Gabby Douglas was just 16 when she caught the world’s attention at the 2012 Olympics where she won gold in the all-around event. From her early days on the gym floor to her life after finding Olympic fame, the transformation (改变) of Gabby Douglas has been quite the stunning one indeed.
Gabby Douglas’ talent for gymnastics was apparent from a young age. At the tender age of three, the younger Douglas was turning cartwheels. Just two years after beginning her formal gymnastics training. Douglas won Virginia’s state gymnastics championship. She racked up more wins over the years, and it was soon evident that she wasn’t just a talented gymnast, but a possible Olympic competitor.
At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. She’d already been homeschooled for years to focus on her training, and she set her sights on training with Liang Chow, a coach who has worked with Shawn Johnson. But Chow’s gym was in West Des Moines, Iowa — not exactly within commuting distance of her home in Virginia. Moving halfway across the country was not easy for the young Gabby Douglas. She felt seriously out of place as one of few black people there.
Douglas also felt much anxiety about chasing her Olympic dream. It would be years before Douglas opened up about the fears she faced on her road to the Olympics. She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt…You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.”
Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. She said, “It was just insane knowing that I had spent my whole life dreaming about this one specific goal and achieved it.”
4. What made Douglas decide to have a change at 14?
A. Her Olympic dream. B. Her talent for gymnastics.
C. Her desire to train with Liang Chow. D. Her tiredness of being homeschooled.
5. Why was Douglas anxious when chasing her dream?
A. She thought she was not talented enough.
B. She had to compete with Shawn Johnson.
C. She was unable to adapt to the training in Iowa.
D. She was uncertain about how to get to the Olympics.
6. What words can be used to best describe Douglas?
A. Talented but crazy. B. Fearless but bad-tempered.
C. Optimistic and determined. D. Committed and independent.
7. What can we learn from Douglas’s story?

Rivers and streams in Alaska are changing colors — from a clean, clear blue to a rust y orange — because of the toxic metal s released by thawing permafrost (融化的冻土), according to a new study.
The finding surprised researchers who conducted tests at 75 locations in the waterways of Alaska’s Brooks Range. The rivers and streams in the range appeared to rust and became cloudy and orange over the past five to 10 years, according to the study published in the journal Communications: Earth & Environment.
The discoloration (变色) and cloudiness are being caused by metal s such as iron and lead, some of which are toxic to the river and stream ecosystems — as permafrost thaws and exposes the waterways to minerals locked away underground for thousands of years.
“We’re used to seeing this in parts of California where we have mining history. This is a classic process that happens in rivers here for over 100 years,” said Brett Poulin, a co-author of the study and a professor of environmental toxicology at UC Davis. “But it’s very shocking to see it in some of the most remote wilderness and far from a mine source,” Brett added.
Arctic soils naturally contain organic carbon, nutrients and metals within their permafrost. High temperatures have caused these minerals and the water sources around them to meet as permafrost melts. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world. “It’s really an unexpected consequence of climate change,” said Brett.
This discoloration has been linked to dramatic declines in sea life, raising concerns about how the continued melting of permafrost will affect communities that rely on those waterways for drinkıng and fishing.
These studies have extended beyond the US in the past. Similar research on increases in metal and rare earth element concentrations in mountain rivers and streams has been done in the European Alps and the Pyrenees in northern Spain. Although some of these areas have been exposed to mining sites and thus have seen metal concentrations in rivers and streams over the years, the noted increases raise questions about how climate change will continue to impact mountain water sources.
8. What leads to color changes in the waterways in Alaska?
A. Fast circulation of water. B. A long history of mining.
C. Exposure of certain minerals. D. Imbalanced water ecosystems.
9. What do Brett’s words indicate about the unusual discoloration?
A. It’s a natural process in Alaska. B. It often happens in the wilderness.
C. It existed in California not long ago. D. It’s linked to the rise in temperature.
10. Which can be a possible result of the phenomenon?
A. Fishermen will catch fewer fish.
B. The Arctic will be warmer and warmer.
C. Metal concentrations in water will drop quickly.
D. Most European mining sites will be closed down.
11. What can be the best title for the article?
A. Melting Permafrost in the Arctic.
B. Color change of waterways in Alaska.
C. The impact of climate change worldwide.
D. Underground minerals exposed in California.

“Merry Christmas from the Family”, a country song by Robert Earl Keen, tells the tale of a festive get-together. Many listeners will recognize the chaos (混乱) the singer describes; even more than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle to recall how he is related to the various guests. “Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen,” Mr. Keen sings, “Can’t remember how I’m kin (有亲属关系的) to them.”
That may have something to do with the English language. It is often joked that anyone around your age is a “cousin” and anyone older is an “uncle” or “aunt”. English is rather bare in its terms for family members. Other languages pay far more attention to the details.
Take “brother” and “sister” for instance. Societies that value age-order highly often have different terms for older brother, older sister, younger brother and younger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese or ani, ane, ototo, imoto in Japanese.
Chinese even requires the speakers to remember whether a relative is older or younger than they are, whether relatives of their parents are older or younger than they, and so on. There are many armchair theories about the relationship between language and culture that do not hold up to careful examination. The East Asian languages’ focus on seniority (年长), however, is actually related to the importance Confucianism places on the virtue of respecting your elders.
Actually, all languages permit you to describe relationships in any amount of detail your listener would like. The focus that some cultures put on labelling every possible relation with a distinct term does not mean that those who lack those terms do not pay attention to family networks. Every English-speaking family seems to have at least one member who can sort out the complicated relations and tell you that Henry Ford was a great-great-great uncle. But each family also has members who couldn’t care less, waving a hand and saying “uncle” or “cousin”.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By criticizing a forgetful guest. B. By praising a recognized singer.
C. By illustrating a shared experience. D. By presenting a chaotic get-together.
13. Why does the author mention the examples of Chinese and Japanese?
A. To indicate their respect for the elders.
B. To make a contrast with English language.
C. To emphasize the influence of Confucianism.
D. To make an analysis of East Asian languages.
14. What does “armchair theories” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Baseless assumptions. B. Detailed descriptions.
C. Contradictory thoughts. D. Convincing explanations.
15. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Labelling every relation is no easy.
B. English speakers value family networks as well.
C. Some people enjoy sorting out complicated relations.
D. General terms for relatives indicate weaker family bond.

In 1985, 16-year-old Douglas Casa, ran the championship 10,000 meter track race at the Empire State Games. Suddenly, with just 200 meters to go, he collapsed on the final straightaway, with his body temperature at dangerous levels. He had suffered an exertional heat stroke(运动型中暑) or sunstroke. ____16____
From ancient soldiers on the battlefield to modern warriors on the gridiron(足球球场), exertional heat stroke, has long been a serious concern. And unlike classical heat stroke, which affects people such as babies and the elderly during heat waves, exertional heat stroke is caused by intense exercise in the heat. ____17____
So how do you diagnose an exertional heat stroke? The main criterion is a core body temperature greater than 40℃ along with signs of central nervous system disfunction such as confused behavior, or loss of consciousness.
As far as treatment goes, the most important thing to remember is cool first, transport second. The human body can withstand a core temperature above 40℃ for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in. ____18____ After any athletic or protective gear has been removed from the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and monitoring vitals continuously. ____19____ As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive. If medical staff are available on site, cooling should continue until a core temperature of 38.9℃ is reached.
____20____ As Dr. J Levick wrote of exertional heat stroke in 1859, “It strikes down its victim with his full armor on. Youth, health and strength oppose no obstacle to its power.” But don’t be frightened so much for it has been 100% survivable with proper care.
A. Fortunately he survived with immediate treatment.
B. When possible seek out places with air-conditioners.
C. So it’s necessary to start cooling as quickly as possible.
D. But emergency services should be called before you start.
E. The sun can also take lives away if people are not careful.
F. So far it has been one of the top three killers of athletes in training.
G. It is important to keep the body temperature close to its normal temperature.

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。
I still remember the day when we decorated the house, I was ten and it was two weeks before Christmas. I was looking forward to my presents. Since I’m the youngest in the family, all of the family members would give me a gift one way or another. Sometimes it was a cookie or a hug but it was always there. I was the only center of attention and it was feeling good.
My uncles usually would ask me what I wanted before Christmas and that year I knew what I wanted. It was the spaceship I saw in the ads. I was dreaming of opening a big gift box, and it was there. But that year it came in a way that I wasn’t expecting.
It was two weeks before Christmas. Just two weeks. She couldn’t wait. My dear mother told my father that it was time and then we went to the hospital. After an hour, they told me that I had a sister now. But I didn’t want a sister. I wanted a spaceship. The next few days went so fast. No one was caring about me. Everyone was talking about her and I knew that my life is never going to be the same ever again. I wasn’t ready to grow up, to be a big brother. But it just happened in an instant.
On the day before Christmas, everyone was in our home, talking only about my newborn sister. My family was becoming hers. Even my uncles didn’t ask me anything about the gift. She stole everything I’d ever had, my life and my presents. Thinking about this, I cried to sleep. I had a nightmare (噩梦) and woke up at the middle of the night. Shadows were all around me, and I was defenseless and so weak. I ran into my parents’ bedroom but couldn’t wake up my poor parents who were just too worn out. I was standing near their bed, trying not to cry when I saw her. She was awake and looking at me with her big eyes in her small bed.

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。
Suddenly a long shadow came into the bedroom and she started crying.
