M: At least you still have yours. I’ve lost so many pairs of sunglasses! Even when I tell myself not to, they still come up missing. W: When was the last time you lost a pair? M: Earlier today… W: What? That can’t be. I’ve been with you all day, and I never saw you with any sunglasses on. M: Ha-ha, I’m just kidding. But seriously, I think the last time I lost my sunglasses was two weeks ago. I wonder if they sell an insurance program that will replace a lost or broken pair. W: Why don’t you go up and ask them? Sunglass Hut has a very good reputation. That’s where I get all my sunglasses. M: I’m worried that they won’t take me seriously. And all the pairs in there are super expensive. W: Come on, let’s go see what they have! Maybe we’ll both leave with new sunglasses! M: Fine. But we need to find a restaurant first. I’m starving! 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

They make most of the decisions for the school. 【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】Sun School in the town of Ashbert in England is a day school for children aged 10 to 18. Sun School believes that the healthy growth of a child is more important than academic success. It offers a variety of lessons and activities for students to choose from and free time for children to follow their own interests. Classes are small and are based on the individual needs of each child. The schedule is fixed, and students are expected to attend all classes. A weekly school meeting is held at the center of the school. It makes all the decisions that affect the school, including rules, the schedule, and accepting or rejecting new students and teachers. Participating in these meetings gives the children an understanding of how to make decisions and helps them develop their communication skills. The most important advantage of the school meeting is that it shows children that the school is really theirs. They have the right to decide on changes. And the school’s success or failure depends on their decisions and their behavior. Sun School employs no cooking or cleaning staff. These jobs are done by the students and teachers. Decorating and simple repairs are also done by the students. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 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。 A Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler Saint Maybe is an example of how one small mistake can result in tragedy (悲剧) for a family with lives changed forever. The true strength of the novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sincerity and understanding. I’ve read this book many times over and always find it inspirational when it comes to writing my own novels about the complexities of family life. — Eric James Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved all these funny poems inside-and it made me want to write rhymes. After reading this, I started writing my own poetry. I like including silly poems and lyrics in my books, which is definitely down to the influence of this book. It’s a book that you would read as a kid and it would really stimulate your imagination. — Liz Pichon Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll A book read at my father’s knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life. My desire to fall down a rabbit hole that might take me to Wonderland surpassed (胜过) my other childhood wishes. Wonderland with its Cheshire Cat and never-ending tea parties, which were reflected in a life-long love of cats and cakes, suited me best. — Menna van Praag Bambi by Felix Salten My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields. This book made me stop and study the animal tracks on the ground and made me think about the world around me in a different way, setting me on the path to being a writer. — Polly Crosby 21. What is the advantage of Saint Maybe? A. The content of the book. B. The example in this novel. C. The complexities of life. D. The author’s writing abilities. 22. Which book would you choose if you want to read poems? A. Saint Maybe B. Silly Verse For Kids C. Alice in Wonderland D. Bambi 23. What do the four books have in common? A. They influence the four readers greatly. B. They are mainly recommended for kids. C. They can stimulate readers’ imagination. D. They allow readers to see the world differently. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是四个人对四本书的评价。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler部分的“The true strength of the novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sincerity and understanding.(小说的真正优点在于作者带着真诚和理解来写作的能力。)”可知，Saint Maybe的优势是作者的写作能力。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan部分的“This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved all these funny poems inside-and it made me want to write rhymes.(这本书又小又薄，但我喜欢里面所有有趣的诗歌——它让我想写押韵诗。)”可知，如果你想读诗，你会选择Silly Verse For Kids，故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler部分的“I’ve read this book many times over and always find it inspirational when it comes to writing my own novels about the complexities of family life.(这本书我已经读了很多遍，当我要写关于家庭生活复杂性的小说时，我总是觉得它很有灵感。)”，Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan部分的“After reading this, I started writing my own poetry.(读了这篇文章后，我开始写自己的诗。)”，Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll部分的“A book read at my father’s knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life.(这本书在我父亲的膝上阅读，它激发了我的想象力，塑造了我的写作生涯。)”和Bambi by Felix Salten部分的“This book made me stop and study the animal tracks on the ground and made me think about the world around me in a different way, setting me on the path to being a writer.(这本书让我停下来研究地上的动物足迹，让我用不同的方式思考我周围的世界，让我走上了成为作家的道路。)”可知，这四本书的共同点在于对这四位读者的影响很大。故选A。 B I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly. When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go. I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…” Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying. Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go. 24. How did the author feel when he was on the ladders? A. Exhausted. B. Frightened. C. Annoyed. D. Excited. 25. Why did the Englishman push the author off platform? A. To teach him to fly. B. To push him to death. C. To develop his courage. D. To test his ability to climb. 26. Through the zip line experience, the author learns that ________. A. everyone can enjoy flying well B. trying difficult things is his favorite C. looking back on the old days is awful for him D. something that seems impossible can be conquered 27. What does the underlined phrase “aerial escapades” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The author’s zip line experience. B. The author’s difficulty in life. C. The author’s failure in adventure. D. The author’s dreams about his future. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。详细叙述了作者体验飞索时的内心活动和感受，从紧张害怕到最终的飞翔，以及这次经历对作者产生的影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly.(我尽量不往下看。我的手掌在冒汗。我能集中注意力的只有下面那个把梯子固定住的人。那些小人儿向我招手，但我看不清他们)”以及第三段“I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me.(我恳求从梯子上下来，但那个愚蠢的人试图说服我)”可知，作者站在梯子上，手心冒汗，不敢往下看，想要从梯子上下来，推知他是害怕的。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure.(今天，我仍然恐高。如果说我克服了恐惧，找到了自己喜欢的东西，那就太好了。我的飞索体验要归功于那个把我从平台上推下去的英国人。我很感激这次经历，因为我喜欢冒险)”可知，作者自己仍然恐高，但很感激这次飞索经历，因为它帮助自己克服了一开始的恐惧和不可能，暗示了这次经历是为了培养作者的勇气，因此英国人把作者推下平台是为了培养他的勇气。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go.(我有过的一些最有意义的经历，比如飞行，就是来自于征服那些起初看起来令人恐惧和不可能的事情。虽然我在空中冒险的日子已经结束了，但我期待着未来，以及对飞行恐惧的问题，无论我走到哪里，我都会继续提出问题)”可知，通过高空滑索的经历，作者了解到一些看似不可能的事情是可以被征服的。故选D项。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible.(我的飞索体验要归功于那个把我从平台上推下去的英国人。我很感激这次经历，因为我喜欢冒险。尝试新事物一直对我很有吸引力。我有过的一些最有价值的经历，比如飞翔，都是在克服最初看起来可怕和不可能的事情之后获得的)”以及前文可知，作者主要讲述了作者体验飞索时的经历，所以根据后文的“are over”可推知，应是“飞索经历”结束了，推知aerial escapades应是指“作者的飞索体验”。故选A项。 C Fast food chains have tried for years to appeal to customers who care about their health. They have added lighter food to their menus, such as salads and yogurt. Of course, the lighter food goes with the usual burgers, fried chicken and shakes. Menus have changed over the past three decades. According to a recent study, fast food menus are less healthy than they were 30 years ago. The study suggests the problem is getting worse. The fat, salt content and size of fast food meals are the problem. They are often the reason for the rising obesity (肥胖) rate among adults in the United States. The researchers found that the average main dish weighed more in 2016 than in 1986. It also had more calories and more sodium (钠). One expert said, “The restaurants have not done enough. The big picture is that there have been some positive changes, but they are small. Overall, the changes have gotten worse.” The average fast food dessert had more calories in 2016. It also weighed more than the average fast food dessert thirty years earlier. Restaurants are counting on bigger sundaes and cookies to increase the amount spent on each order. For example, McDonald’s recently introduced “donut sticks” dusted with sugar. Six sticks have 280 calories. But you can also order 12 sticks for less than the cost of two single orders. The researchers found that, over the 30 years, there were more calories in items like chips, soup, and French fries. Sodium content rose even though portion (一份) size did not grow much. When consumed together as a single meal, the study found that the average main dish and side order account for nearly 40 percent of a 2000-calory daily diet. 28. Why do fast food chains provide lighter food? A. To match the fast food. B. To reduce the cost of each meal. C. To attract more customers. D. To improve the health of customers. 29. Why are more American adults getting fat? A. They have little time to exercise regularly. B. They take in more calories from fast food. C. They eat much more dessert after every meal. D. They eat fast food more frequently than before. 30. What is the example of “donut sticks” for in paragraph 3? A. Showing the way of restaurants’ making cookies. B. Presenting the popularity of restaurants’ new food. C. Stressing the increase in restaurants’ food varieties. D. Explaining the intention of restaurants’ adding dessert. 31. Which one could be the best title of the text? A. Fast Food Is Still Killing Us B. Don’t Eat Any Fast Food Now C. Try to Eat More Lighter Food D. People Are Becoming Fatter and Fatter 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了快餐连锁店在努力吸引关注健康的客户方面的做法和效果。它详细描述了快餐菜单在过去三十年的变化，并通过研究数据说明了快餐食品在健康方面的趋势是越来越不健康的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Fast food chains have tried for years to appeal to customers who care about their health. They have added lighter food to their menus, such as salads and yogurt. (快餐连锁店多年来一直试图吸引那些关心自己健康的顾客。他们在菜单上增加了清淡的食物，比如沙拉和酸奶。)” 可知，快餐连锁店多年来一直在努力吸引关注健康的客户，因此他们在菜单上增加了更健康的食物，如沙拉和酸奶。这表明他们提供轻食是为了吸引更多的客户，尤其是那些关心健康的客户。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The fat, salt content and size of fast food meals are the problem. They are often the reason for the rising obesity (肥胖) rate among adults in the United States. (快餐的脂肪、盐含量和份量都是问题所在。它们通常是美国成年人肥胖率上升的原因。)”可知，快餐食品中的脂肪、盐分和份量是导致美国成年人肥胖率上升的原因。这意味着他们通过快餐摄入了更多的卡路里。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Restaurants are counting on bigger sundaes and cookies to increase the amount spent on each order. For example, McDonald’s recently introduced “donut sticks” dusted with sugar. Six sticks have 280 calories. But you can also order 12 sticks for less than the cost of two single orders.(餐馆正指望更大的圣代和饼干来增加每笔订单的花费。例如，麦当劳最近推出了撒上糖的“donut sticks”。6根巧克力棒含有280卡路里。但你也可以以低于两单订单的价格订购12支。)”可知，快餐店通过提供更大份的冰淇淋圣代和饼干来增加每笔订单的金额。麦当劳最近推出的“donut sticks”就是一个例子，用来解释快餐店通过增加甜点的份量和种类来吸引顾客并增加销售额的意图。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Menus have changed over the past three decades. According to a recent study, fast food menus are less healthy than they were 30 years ago. The study suggests the problem is getting worse.(在过去的三十年里，菜单发生了变化。根据最近的一项研究，快餐菜单不如30年前健康。研究表明，这个问题正在变得越来越严重。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讨论了快餐连锁店为了吸引关注健康的客户而在菜单上增加更健康的轻食选项，但整体而言，快餐食品在健康方面仍然存在很多问题，如脂肪、盐分和份量的增加，这导致了美国成年人肥胖率的上升。因此，最能够概括文章主旨的标题应该是强调快餐食品对健康的不良影响。选项A“Fast Food Is Still Killing Us(快餐仍然在杀死我们)”既突出了快餐的问题，也吸引了读者的注意力，符合文章的主旨。故选A。 D Plants are vital to human survival, even when there’s no sunlight. But keeping your houseplants alive in window-less rooms or in shadowy corners can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited. Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces. These specialized beams (光线) have different features, colors, and prices. LEDs, for instance, are the cheapest and most energy-efficient option. While most devices stick to a warm white light, plants respond differently to various illuminating colors. Scientist Levine has made two creative experiments. Under gravity, red light worked well for the slim flowering plants Arabidopsis (拟南芥). But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light. If electricity is a limiting factor, you can try to reflect light with mirrors. Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it’s not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power. Some plants, including tomatoes, need more light than those like Arabidopsis; new seedling s need less light than fully-grow n plants. As you choose your seeds and seedlings, research their native ranges to learn how much sunshine they’d naturally get. Plants are finally adaptable. They can stretch their stems toward available light sources or produce extra chlorophyll (叶绿素), which absorbs available cold light. Even though they may not be getting all the light that they would like for optimum (最适宜的) growth, they’ll still grow. With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness. 32. What is the purpose of using grow lights? A. To change the color of the plants. B. To provide an energy boost in dim spaces. C. To create a decorative effect in the room. D. To help plants grow in weightless environments. 33. What did Levine discover about the effect of different light colors in experiments? A. Plants grew best under red lights without gravity. B. Blue lights caused plants to grow funny shapes. C. Green lights were the best choice for plants without gravity. D. Plants preferred warm white lights in all situations. 34. How can you help plants get extra energy without using electricity? A. By putting the metal in the soil. B. By adding more fertilizer to their soil. C. By decorating some reflective objects. D. By pouring some chemical liquid. 35. Who is the passage written for? A. Plant scientists and researchers. B. Indoor decorators and designers. C. Farmers planning to grow crops in low-light conditions. D. Individuals looking to improve their indoor gardening skills. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在缺乏阳光的环境中如何帮助植物生长。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces.(在昏暗或黑暗的空间里，植物生长灯提供了一种容易获得的能量增加)”可知，植物生长灯可以在昏暗的环境中增加能量。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light.(但在失重环境下，它们会伸展成有趣的形状，直到他开始添加蓝光。他最终找到了一个中间地带，把这些植物置于绿光下)”可知，莱文最终发现在失重环境下，绿光对植物的生长效果最佳。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it’s not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power.(即使用白色的装饰来照亮你的空间，比如浅色的桌布，也会给你的植物带来一点光芒。虽然它不能与使用生长灯或太阳相比，但它可以为植物提供额外的能量)”可知，在室内装饰一些反光的物品可以使植物获得额外的能量。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited.(幸运的是，有一些方法可以帮助你的植物保持活力，即使它们的阳光能量来源有限)”以及文章最后一句“With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness.(只需要一点额外的帮助，你和你的植物就能克服黑暗)”可知，本文主要介绍了在缺乏阳光的环境下如何帮助植物生长，旨在帮助那些想要提高自己的室内园艺种植技能的人。故选D项。 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。 How to overcome gym anxiety Here are some practical tips to help you overcome anxiety in the gym and create a positive, empowering experience for yourself.

Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life. The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it. However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole. Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish. 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。 My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. He taught me how to adjust my pole based on the movements of the fish and how to determine the best time to lift the pole when a fish was on the hook. Under his guidance, I calmed down gradually, staying focused to wait patiently. Then suddenly, I felt a jerk of my pole. A surge of thrill sweeping over me, I pulled the fishing pole out of water and I caught my first fish! So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air. It was a small one, but it was a milestone for me! When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! Thrilled and fulfilled, I skipped all the way home with my cousin, telling him it was a pity that I had been missing out on so much by avoiding this simple outdoor activity before. Since then, I have become a passionate fisherman and love spending time outdoors, appreciating the simple pleasure of life. Fishing has taught me to be patient and persistent and most importantly, it has also taught me a lesson that we should not miss out on these opportunities just because they are simple or just we do not know how to do them well. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者童年，在哥哥和邻居的影响下，我尝试了一些户外活动。在某一次尝试了钓鱼之后，作者喜爱上了这项活动，变成了一个充满激情的渔夫，喜欢花时间在户外，欣赏生活的简单乐趣。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我表姐不得不一再提醒我要有耐心”可知，第一段可描写作者钓上鱼的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们最后离开湖时，我已经钓到了三条鱼！”可知，第二段可描写作者喜爱钓鱼以及对钓鱼感悟。 2.续写线索：提醒有耐心——指导作者——鱼上钩——喜爱钓鱼——对钓鱼感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①确定：determine/confirm ②告诉：tell/inform ③捕捉：catch/capture 情绪类 ①专注：focused/concentrated ②激动：excited/thrilled ③满足：fulfilled/content 【点睛】[高分句型1] So excited was I that I even gave a jump in the air.

The true strength of the novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sincerity and understanding. I’ve read this book many times over and always find it inspirational when it comes to writing my own novels about the complexities of family life. — Eric James Silly Verse For Kids by Spike Milligan This book is so tiny and thin, but I loved all these funny poems inside-and it made me want to write rhymes. After reading this, I started writing my own poetry. I like including silly poems and lyrics in my books, which is definitely down to the influence of this book. It’s a book that you would read as a kid and it would really stimulate your imagination. — Liz Pichon Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll A book read at my father’s knee and one that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life. My desire to fall down a rabbit hole that might take me to Wonderland surpassed (胜过) my other childhood wishes. Wonderland with its Cheshire Cat and never-ending tea parties, which were reflected in a life-long love of cats and cakes, suited me best. — Menna van Praag Bambi by Felix Salten My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields. This book made me stop and study the animal tracks on the ground and made me think about the world around me in a different way, setting me on the path to being a writer. — Polly Crosby 21. What is the advantage of Saint Maybe? A. The content of the book. B. The example in this novel. C. The complexities of life. D. The author’s writing abilities. 22. Which book would you choose if you want to read poems? A. Saint Maybe B. Silly Verse For Kids C. Alice in Wonderland D. Bambi 23 What do the four books have in common? A. They influence the four readers greatly. B. They are mainly recommended for kids. C. They can stimulate readers’ imagination. D. They allow readers to see the world differently. B I tried not to look down. My palms (手掌) were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly. When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go. I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…” Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying. Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line (飞索) experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me.

They have added lighter food to their menus, such as salads and yogurt. Of course, the lighter food goes with the usual burgers, fried chicken and shakes. Menus have changed over the past three decades. According to a recent study, fast food menus are less healthy than they were 30 years ago. The study suggests the problem is getting worse. The fat, salt content and size of fast food meals are the problem. They are often the reason for the rising obesity (肥胖) rate among adults in the United States. The researchers found that the average main dish weighed more in 2016 than in 1986. It also had more calories and more sodium (钠). One expert said, “The restaurants have not done enough. The big picture is that there have been some positive changes, but they are small. Overall, the changes have gotten worse.” The average fast food dessert had more calories in 2016. It also weighed more than the average fast food dessert thirty years earlier. Restaurants are counting on bigger sundaes and cookies to increase the amount spent on each order. For example, McDonald’s recently introduced “donut sticks” dusted with sugar. Six sticks have 280 calories. But you can also order 12 sticks for less than the cost of two single orders. The researchers found that, over the 30 years, there were more calories in items like chips, soup, and French fries. Sodium content rose even though portion (一份) size did not grow much. When consumed together as a single meal, the study found that the average main dish and side order account for nearly 40 percent of a 2000-calory daily diet. 28. Why do fast food chains provide lighter food? A. To match the fast food. B. To reduce the cost of each meal. C. To attract more customers. D. To improve the health of customers. 29. Why are more American adults getting fat? A. They have little time to exercise regularly. B. They take in more calories from fast food. C. They eat much more dessert after every meal. D. They eat fast food more frequently than before. 30. What is the example of “donut sticks” for in paragraph 3? A. Showing the way of restaurants’ making cookies. B. Presenting the popularity of restaurants’ new food. C. Stressing the increase in restaurants’ food varieties. D. Explaining the intention of restaurants’ adding dessert. 31. Which one could be the best title of the text? A. Fast Food Is Still Killing Us B. Don’t Eat Any Fast Food Now C. Try to Eat More Lighter Food D. People Are Becoming Fatter and Fatter D Plants are vital to human survival, even when there’s no sunlight. But keeping your houseplants alive in window-less rooms or in shadowy corners can be a challenge. Luckily, there are ways to help your plants stay energetic, even when their sunny source of energy is limited. Grow lights provide an easy and accessible energy increase in dim or black spaces. These specialized beams (光线) have different features, colors, and prices. LEDs, for instance, are the cheapest and most energy-efficient option. While most devices stick to a warm white light, plants respond differently to various illuminating colors. Scientist Levine has made two creative experiments. Under gravity, red light worked well for the slim flowering plants Arabidopsis (拟南芥). But in the weightless environment, they stretched into funny shapes until he started adding blue lights. He eventually found a middle ground and put the plants in green light. If electricity is a limiting factor, you can try to reflect light with mirrors. Even brightening up your space with white decorations, like a light-colored tablecloth, will cast a little glow over your plants. While it’s not comparable to using a grow light or the sun, it could offer plants extra power. Some plants, including tomatoes, need more light than those like Arabidopsis; new seedling s need less light than fully-grow n plants. As you choose your seeds and seedlings, research their native ranges to learn how much sunshine they’d naturally get. Plants are finally adaptable. They can stretch their stems toward available light sources or produce extra chlorophyll (叶绿素), which absorbs available cold light. Even though they may not be getting all the light that they would like for optimum (最适宜的) growth, they’ll still grow. With only a little extra help, you and your plants can overcome the darkness. 32. What is the purpose of using grow lights? A. To change the color of the plants. B. To provide an energy boost in dim spaces. C. To create a decorative effect in the room. D. To help plants grow in weightless environments. 33. What did Levine discover about the effect of different light colors in experiments? A. Plants grew best under red lights without gravity. B. Blue lights caused plants to grow funny shapes. C. Green lights were the best choice for plants without gravity. D. Plants preferred warm white lights in all situations. 34. How can you help plants get extra energy without using electricity? A. By putting the metal in the soil. B. By adding more fertilizer to their soil. C. By decorating some reflective objects. D. By pouring some chemical liquid. 35. Who is the passage written for? A. Plant scientists and researchers. B. Indoor decorators and designers. C. Farmers planning to grow crops in low-light conditions. D. Individuals looking to improve their indoor gardening skills. 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。 How to overcome gym anxiety Here are some practical tips to help you overcome anxiety in the gym and create a positive, empowering experience for yourself.

Of course, I was not so taken by all of them. whether I was doing them for the first time or continuously. However, fate had its own plans in store. You never know when an outdoor activity will change my life. The name of this activity is “fishing”. About ten years ago, I didn't really like the idea of sitting on the bank of a lake or river, spending long hours under the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can cause sunburns and skin damage, and anxiously anticipating some fish to be kind to take my bait(诱饵). In fact, I used to think of this outdoor activity as some kind of “hide-and-seek-game” that is popular with most young kids, except that it was much harder because I could see my “prey (猎物)” only after catching it. However, all that changed when I paid a visit to my aunt in the countryside during a summer holiday. I was finally convinced by one of my cousins to accompany him to a nearby lake in order to do some fishing practice with him. In fact, he even assured me that fish would eat my baits. So I agreed and went to the lake expecting to catch some fish. Before throwing my fishing line into the water, my cousin did some tricks attaching some sort of food to my fishing pole. Learning to fish in a river or lake can be challenging for the beginners like me. The act of dropping a line is easy, but being a successful fisher is hard. That's why they call it fishing but not catching But with practice and patience, it can become easier over time. Patience is essential in lake fishing. It may take some time to find the right spot or lure (鱼饵) that will attract fish. 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。 My cousin had to repeatedly remind me to keep patient. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we finally left the lake, I had caught three fish! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
