A Beijing girl surnamed Zhou gave herself a perfect birthday gift in February. The Beijing-based internet company employee got a 200-yuan ($27. 59) cake for half the usual price. The 30-year-old said the cake happened to be her favorite taste and she felt it was the most exceptional find in her year-and-a-half-long buying of “leftover blind box” — or randomly packed boxes of unsold food and drinks available at discounted rates.
Zhou is one among many middle-aged and young people who are increasingly using WeChat’s leftover blind box mini program Cherish Magic Bag, which satisfies consumers’ needs while recommends a low-carbon, low-waste lifestyle. After paying online through the program, consumers can collect the randomly packed boxes of leftover food during appointed time, typically just before closing time, between 8 and 10 pm.
“The original price is generally two to three times the price on the program,” Zhou said, adding that by placing 194 such orders, she ensured that food worth 5, 700 yuan, accounting for 520 kilograms in carbon dioxide emissions, did not go to waste. “I appreciate the environmental concept of the program. In addition, I’m curious and open to trying out different cuisines and new approaches,” she said, adding that she regularly checks for new additions on the program and tries them out.
Despite the discounted prices, Zhou said the quality of the service remains good, encouraging her to buy more using the program.
“The program gets along with the development trend of Internet Plus, in agreement with the sustainable (可持续的) development concept and provides a simple approach to dealing with food wastage by actively engaging with the public,” said Luo Xueming, chief expert at the Guangdong Modern Urban Industrial Technology Research Institute. However, Luo also stressed food quality and safety issues concerning perishable (易腐坏的) products, and emphasized the need to increase consumers’ awareness about food resources, which is important for enlarging the user base and ensuring the long-term success of the initiative. “Once it is widely carried out, this program will hold significant importance for China’s food security strategy, “ he said.
24. What can we learn about “leftover blind box”?
A. It’s sold to the blind. B. It can be got anytime.
C. It is a widespread lifestyle. D. It can be bought at a reduced price.
25. What does the author want to show by mentioning the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. Zhou has got a cheaper item.
B. Zhou is fond of the program.
C. Much money has been spent on the program.
D. The program is of great benefit to the environment.
26. What is Zhou’s attitude towards “leftover blind box”?
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
27. According to Luo Xueming, which of the following is the biggest concern?
A. Food price. B. Food safety.
C. Environmental protection. D. Sustainable development.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了北京一位周姓女孩通过微信小程序“珍惜魔法袋”购买半价“剩食盲盒”的经历,这种盲盒内装有打折的未售出食品和饮料。这种消费方式不仅满足了消费者的需求,还倡导了低碳、低浪费的生活方式。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The 30-year-old said the cake happened to be her favorite taste and she felt it was the most exceptional find in her year-and-a-half-long buying of “leftover blind box” — or randomly packed boxes of unsold food and drinks available at discounted rates.”(这位30岁的女士说,这块蛋糕恰好是她最喜欢的口味,她觉得这是她一年半来购买“剩食盲盒”——或者说以折扣价出售的未售出食品和饮料随机包装的盒子——中最特别的发现。)可知,“leftover blind box”可以以折扣价购买。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“by placing 194 such orders, she ensured that food worth 5,700 yuan, accounting for 520 kilograms in carbon dioxide emissions, did not go to waste.”(通过下194个这样的订单,她确保了价值5700元的食物没有浪费,这些食物相当于排放了520公斤的二氧化碳。)可推知,作者提及这些数字是为了说明这个程序对环境有很大的好处。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Zhou的话““I appreciate the environmental concept of the program. In addition, I’m curious and open to trying out different cuisines and new approaches, ” she said, adding that she regularly checks for new additions on the program and tries them out.”(“我很欣赏这个项目的环保理念。此外,我很好奇,也愿意尝试不同的菜肴和新方法,”她说,并补充说她经常查看这个项目的新增内容并尝试。)可推知,Zhou对这个项目持支持态度。故选A项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, Luo also stressed food quality and safety issues concerning perishable (易腐坏的) products, and emphasized the need to increase consumers’ awareness about food resources, which is important for enlarging the user base and ensuring the long-term success of the initiative.”(然而,罗还强调了易腐坏产品的食品质量和安全问题,并强调需要提高消费者对食品资源的认识,这对于扩大用户基础和确保该倡议的长期成功非常重要。)可知,Luo Xueming认为食品安全是最大的问题。故选B项。

Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies (殖民地), our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot — for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030. The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US$6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US$100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe.
28. Why is Stephen Hawking mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To predict the future. B. To show his concern.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To advertise space living.
29. What does the underlined word “terraform” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A Warming up a planet.
B. Moving to a planet.
C. Constructing a planet.
D. Changing the environment on a planet.
30. What can you learn from the text?
A. The budget of the project is cost-effective.
B. Greenhouse gases are a must for living on Mars.
C. Hawaii is a place with Mars-like environment.
D. Humans living on Mars will be a reality in the not-too-distant future.
31. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life on Mars? B. Homes on Mars?
C. Mars Exploration. D. Escape from Planet Earth.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们认为人类移居火星的想法很快就能实现,但要真正住在火星,首先需要改造火星,将火星的环境地球化,使之符合人类生存的条件;其次还要测试人类住在火星上是否能保持身体和精神上的健康;最后虽然往返火星的花费巨额,但无论如何,人类居住在火星的想法很快就能实现。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies (殖民地), our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot — for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.(史蒂芬·霍金认为人类必须进入太空才能生存。“一旦我们扩展到太空并建立独立的殖民地,我们的未来就应该是安全的。他说。火箭科学家Robert Zubrin同意这一观点,并认为从火星开始是最有意义的。他认为把人类送上火星会让我们学到很多东西——例如,人类在一个非常不同的环境中生存的能力)”可推知,此处引用史蒂芬·霍金的话来引出人类需要将领地延伸至太空以确保将来的安全,引入了本文的话题。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries.(改造火星的主要目标之一是使其升温,因为火星的平均温度约为零下60℃。让火星变暖的一个想法是在那里建造工厂,产生温室气体。这可能需要几个世纪的时间)”可知,科学家们需要将火星改造成人类能够居住的地方。由此可知,划线单词terraform意为“改造成像地球一样的地方”,结合选项D项Changing the environment on a planet“改变一个星球的环境”意思相近。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.(让火星变暖的一个想法是在那里建造工厂,产生温室气体。这可能需要几个世纪的时间。然而,它应该导致降雨和植物生长,从而使人们可以呼吸更多的空气)”可知,在火星上生活必须要有温室气体。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意可知,本文主要讲述了人类为了开拓生存空间,提出移民火星的计划,并为此做出的一些准备。选项A是“火星上的生活”,与原文有出入,人类并未踏上火星;选项C“火星探索”与本文话题不符,话题过大;选项D“逃离地球”与原文主旨大意不吻合,从原文第一段中“Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day.(一些世界上最重要的科学家认为人类在火星上生活的想法总有一天会成为现实)”以及第二、三段首句均提到科学家为人类能够在火星上建立家园所作出的努力和尝试,以及对人类未来居住在火星上问题的推测。综合判断,选项B“在火星上安家?”为最佳标题。故选B项。

Parents may worry that their children aren’t getting enough quality sleep. However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data by a smart app. The SleepIQbed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed. If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧) , it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable.
The bed was first introduced at the International Consumer, Electronics Show (CES) . It claims to be the only one in the world, which adjusts with children as they grow. Children don’t need to wear a smart-band or alternative wearable device in bed. Instead, the quality of their sleep is measured by sensors in the bed, which monitor their present, average breathing rate, heart rate and movement. Then it assesses quality of sleep. They are given a SleepIQ score for each night’s sleep. Using an accompanying app, parents can see it clearly. It also allows parents to monitor routines (常规) that affect sleep, such as exercise, caffeine and screen time, helping them to develop a routine that helps develop a good night’s shut-eye.
The bed sends a signal to the app when it senses a child is out of bed or is restless, such as if he is having a nightmare (噩梦). Its firmness can be adjusted to change the level of comfort and support to suit children as they grow. A “head tilt (倾斜)” feature for reading is built in, and parents can remotely turn a light out after reading time using the app. There are also fun features such as a “monster scanner”, which uses a mobile phone to check for and fight monsters under the bed. What’s more, an automatic light will guide children, if they need to get up in the middle of the night.
The bed is available online and at Sleep Number stores in the US from around $ 499, almost the same as the beds we are sleeping on.
32. What effect does the SleepIQbed have on children?
A. Their sleep quality will be improved.
B. Their sports performance will be improved.
C. Their health condition will be improved greatly.
D. They no longer need to get up in the middle of the night.
33. What can be learned from the text?
A. The SleepIQbed is the best bed around the world.
B. Children will never fall out of the SleepIQ bed.
C. The smart bed is as cheap as an ordinary one.
D. Another smart bed is needed with children growing older.
34 What can be inferred from having the SleepIQ bed?
A. Children won’t have a nightmare.
B. Parents can be free from some worries.
C. Children had better not read on the bed.
D. Parents don’t need to care for children any more at night.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to get a good sleep.
B. How parents take care of children.
C. The smart bed helping sleep better.
D. Risks that children face when sleeping.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款智能床,它的各种功能可以保证孩子们的睡眼质量。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The SleepIQbed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed. If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧) , it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable.(SleepIQ床可以在孩子睡着时以及如果他们有下床的风险时向父母发出关注的信号。如果孩子在辗转反侧,也可以对其进行调整,使其更舒适。)”可知,SleepIQ床可以让孩子们的睡眠质量得到改善。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The bed is available online and at Sleep Number stores in the US from around $ 499, almost the same as the beds we are sleeping on.”(这款床在网上和Sleep Number美国门店有售,起价499美元左右,几乎和我们现在睡的床一样。)可推知,这款智能床和普通床一样便宜。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The SleepIQbed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed.”(当孩子睡着时以及如果他们有下床的风险,SleepIQ床会向父母发出一个关注的信号)以及第二段中“It also allows parents to monitor routines ( 常规 ) that affect sleep, such as exercise, caffeine and screen time, helping them to develop a routine that helps develop a good night’s shut-eye.(它还允许父母监控影响睡眠的日常活动,比如锻炼、咖啡因和看屏幕的时间,帮助他们养成一种有助于晚上睡个好觉的习惯。)”可推知,智能床会在孩子们有危险时报警,可以让父母监控影响睡眠的日常活动,帮助他们养成一种有助于晚上睡个好觉的习惯;由此可知,SleepIQ bed可以让家长从对孩子的一些担忧中解脱出来。故选B项。

主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段“Parents may worry that their children aren’t getting enough quality sleep. However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data by a smart app. The SleepIQbed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed. If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧) , it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable.”(父母可能会担心他们的孩子没有得到足够的高质量睡眠。然而,现在有一种智能床可以通过智能应用程序为成年人提供睡眠数据。当孩子睡着时以及如果他们有下床的风险,SleepIQ床可以向父母发送一个关注信号。如果孩子翻来覆去,也可以调整一下,让它更舒服。)可知,文章主要介绍了一款帮助孩子改善睡眠质量的智能床SleepIQbed,这款智能床的功能和优点,以及它如何帮助孩子改善睡眠质量。C选项“让你睡得更好的智能床”能够概括文章主旨。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些应对流感方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Getting a flu vaccine (疫苗) every year is the best way to prevent getting the flu.(每年接种流感疫苗是预防流感的最好方法)”可知,打疫苗是预防流感的最好方法,根据文章接下来介绍了一些治疗流感的方法可知,空格处应填入如果得了流感等信息。B项But if you get the flu, it pays to learn how to treat it.(但是如果你得了流感,学会如何治疗是值得的)起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Before you can effectively treat the flu, make sure that’s what you actually have.(在你能有效地治疗流感之前,确保你确实患有这种疾病)”及下文“Common symptoms of flu include serious cough, sore throat, fever above 100F, headaches, weakness and so on while symptoms of the common cold usually include mild cough, low-grade or no fever as well as slight aches.(流感的常见症状包括严重咳嗽、喉咙痛、100华氏度以上的发烧、头痛、虚弱等,而普通感冒的症状通常包括轻微咳嗽、低烧或不发烧以及轻微疼痛)”可知,你需要先知道自己得了流感,之后介绍了流感的症状,因此中间缺少的应该是流感和感冒的区别。F项Flu symptoms are similar to cold symptoms, but much more severe.(流感症状与感冒症状相似,但要严重得多)”起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
由该题为段落小标题可知,为总结该段内容。根据下文“In some extreme cases, the flu can cause symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization.(在某些极端情况下,流感会导致严重到需要住院治疗的症状)”以及本段内容可知,本段主要讲一些需要立刻到医院接受治疗的紧急情况,A项Know when to seek emergency medical treatment.(知道何时需要寻求紧急医疗)能够概括本段内容,符合语境。故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文中“Sometimes it’s possible to keep working or going to school with a cold, but when you have the flu, it’s important to rest.(有时感冒可以继续工作或上学,但当你得了流感时,休息很重要)”可知,接下来要讲如何休息,C项Take a few days off to give your body time to recover.(休息几天,让你的身体有时间恢复)承接上文内容,是对上文内容的语意递进,符合语境。故选C。
【40题详解】
根据上文中“Studies suggest that a proper amount of vitamin C can help remove cold and flu symptoms.(研究表明,适量的维生素C可以帮助消除感冒和流感症状)”以及下文“Then take 1000mg three times daily.(然后每日三次,每次1000mg)”可知,中间缺少的是患流感后要如何服用维他命C的信息。E项Take 1000mg per hour within five hours when symptoms appear.(出现症状后5小时内每小时服用1000毫克)”和上下文内容相关,起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节日——端午节的由来传说之一,屈原投江这一事件的前因后果,以及其中所蕴含的深厚文化意义。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:端午节,也叫Duanwu Festival,是在农历五月初五庆祝。句中谓语是is celebrated,空格处用非谓语动词,The Dragon Boat Festival和call之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填called。
【57题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:几千年来,这个节日一直以吃粽子和赛龙舟为标志。由For thousands of years可知,句子时态是现在完成时,由by可知,句子用被动语态,因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态,主语the festival是单数,因此空格处是has been marked。故填has been marked。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:关于这个节日的起源有很多传说,其中最流行的说法是为了纪念屈原,一位诚实的诗人,据说他在河里淹死了自己。空格处是“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词legends是物,因此空格处用which,故填which。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:关于这个节日的起源有很多传说,其中最流行的说法是为了纪念屈原,一位诚实的诗人,据说他在河里淹死了自己。poet是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,honest是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【60题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:关于这个节日的起源有很多传说,其中最流行的说法是为了纪念屈原,一位诚实的诗人,据说他在河里淹死了自己。屈原是自杀,空格处意为“他自己”,用反身代词himself,故填himself。
【61题详解】
考查最高级。句意:屈原是楚国的总督,也是战国时期中国最早的诗人之一。根据语境可知,句子表示“屈原是楚国的总督,也是战国时期中国最早的诗人之一”,空格处意为“最早的”,用最高级earliest。故填earliest。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,他遭到了一些政客的反对,后来被赶下台,被迫离开了他的国家。根据语境可知,句子表示“他遭到了一些政客的反对,后来被赶下台”,be removed from...意为“被从……中移除”,因此空格处用介词from,故填from。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他意识到国家已经落入了邪恶官员的手中,于是拿着一块大石头跳进了汨罗江。句中谓语是held,空格处用非谓语动词,Qu和realize之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填Realizing。
【64题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:他意识到国家已经落入了邪恶官员的手中,于是拿着一块大石头跳进了汨罗江。official意为“官员”,是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填officials。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:端午节是一个重要的象征性事件,它也让普通中国人与自然和宇宙交流。allow sb. to do sth.是固定短语,意为“让某人做某事”,因此空格处用不定式to communicate。故填to communicate。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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。
Frank threw himself into his seat in the back of the Milwaukee city bus along with several other high school boys. It was another cold, gray day.
He still remembered his stomach chilling (使寒冷) into a frozen knot as he approached the locker room last month. He had read the team list posted on the locker room door, hoping, searching anxiously for his name. It hadn’t been there. It was missing. He had felt suddenly as if he had ceased (停止) to exist. Become invisible.
It wasn’t easy starting a new school, especially for Frank because he had been a star athlete in all sports at elementary school. Now, it seemed, he was nothing.
The bus came to a stop at the County Institutions grounds. A very pregnant woman hung onto the silver handrail (扶手) and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she fell backward into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Frank saw that she wasn’t wearing any shoes.
The bus driver yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It is freezing out there.”
“I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and rolled their eyes.
The driver scratched (挠) his head and shouted, “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?”
“I got eight kids. They all got shoes. There’s not enough left for me.”
Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. His feet were warm and cozy. And then he looked back at the woman. Her socks were torn. Her coat, missing buttons, hung open around her stomach, as swollen (肿大的) as a basketball.
Frank didn’t hear anything around him after that. The word “invisible” popped into his mind again. An invisible person forgotten by society, but for a different reason, he thought.
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:
He would probably always be able to afford shoes, but she probably never would.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
He then hurried to the door when he heard the woman exclaim, “Thank you, young man.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
He would probably always be able to afford shoes, but she probably never would. Looking around, nobody noticing him, he quietly took off his shoes. He would have to walk three blocks in the snow. But that would never bother him much. When the bus stopped at the end of the line, Frank waited until everyone else had emptied off. Then he reached under his seat and picked up his shoes. He walked quickly up to the woman and handed them to her, looking down and saying, “Here, lady, you need these more than I do.”
Paragraph 2:
He then hurried to the door when he heard the woman exclaim, “Thank you, young man.” She looked up at Frank with gratitude in her eyes. “You’ve brought a little warmth into my life,” she said. “I’ll never forget your kindness.” He smiled and hurried off. He landed on the frozen snow. It didn’t matter. He wasn’t cold at all. The chill in his stomach faded away, replaced by a sense of purpose and joy. Frank realized that sometimes the smallest acts of kindness could make the biggest difference in the world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,一个阴冷的日子,弗兰克坐公共汽车回家,想到自己没有进入球队名单,心情沮丧。后来有一个孕妇上了公交汽车,弗兰克发现她没有穿鞋,司机询问她没有穿鞋的原因,原来是因为家里很贫困,有八个孩子需要供养。弗兰克不由地看了看自己的鞋子,意识到这个孕妇是被社会遗忘的隐形人。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他可能永远买得起鞋子,但她可能永远买不起。”可知,第一段可描写弗兰克决定把自己的鞋子送给孕妇,等到下车的时候悄悄交给她。
②由第二段首句内容“他感到门口,听到女人喊道:“谢谢你,年轻人。””可知,第二段可描写孕妇对于弗兰克表示感谢,他下了车虽然没有穿鞋却感觉到了温暖。
2.续写线索:意识到女人的困境——决定送出鞋子——悄悄交出鞋子——女人说话——表示感谢——感受到温暖
3.词汇激活
行为类
①注意:notice/watch/observe
②困扰:bother/worry/disturb/upset/trouble
③交,递:hand/pass/give
④需要:need/require/have need of

⑦意识到:realize/perceive/understand
⑧产生影响:make a difference/catch some weight/have an effect
情绪类
①感激:gratitude/thankfulness/gratefulness
②愉悦:joy/pleasure/delight
【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking around, nobody noticing him, he quietly took off his shoes.(现在分词短语Looking around作状语、nobody noticing him为独立主格结构)
[高分句型2] When the bus stopped at the end of the line, Frank waited until everyone else had emptied off.(从属连词When引导时间状语从句、从属连词until引导时间状语从句)
[高分句型3] Frank realized that sometimes the smallest acts of kindness could make the biggest difference in the world.(连接词that引导名词性从句作realized的宾语)

A Beijing girl surnamed Zhou gave herself a perfect birthday gift in February. The Beijing-based internet company employee got a 200-yuan ($27. 59) cake for half the usual price. The 30-year-old said the cake happened to be her favorite taste and she felt it was the most exceptional find in her year-and-a-half-long buying of “leftover blind box” — or randomly packed boxes of unsold food and drinks available at discounted rates.
Zhou is one among many middle-aged and young people who are increasingly using WeChat’s leftover blind box mini program Cherish Magic Bag, which satisfies consumers’ needs while recommends a low-carbon, low-waste lifestyle. After paying online through the program, consumers can collect the randomly packed boxes of leftover food during appointed time, typically just before closing time, between 8 and 10 pm.
“The original price is generally two to three times the price on the program,” Zhou said, adding that by placing 194 such orders, she ensured that food worth 5, 700 yuan, accounting for 520 kilograms in carbon dioxide emissions, did not go to waste. “I appreciate the environmental concept of the program. In addition, I’m curious and open to trying out different cuisines and new approaches,” she said, adding that she regularly checks for new additions on the program and tries them out.
Despite the discounted prices, Zhou said the quality of the service remains good, encouraging her to buy more using the program.
“The program gets along with the development trend of Internet Plus, in agreement with the sustainable (可持续的) development concept and provides a simple approach to dealing with food wastage by actively engaging with the public,” said Luo Xueming, chief expert at the Guangdong Modern Urban Industrial Technology Research Institute. However, Luo also stressed food quality and safety issues concerning perishable (易腐坏的) products, and emphasized the need to increase consumers’ awareness about food resources, which is important for enlarging the user base and ensuring the long-term success of the initiative. “Once it is widely carried out, this program will hold significant importance for China’s food security strategy, “ he said.
24. What can we learn about “leftover blind box”?
A. It’s sold to the blind. B. It can be got anytime.
C. It is a widespread lifestyle. D. It can be bought at a reduced price.
25. What does the author want to show by mentioning the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. Zhou has got a cheaper item.
B. Zhou is fond of the program.
C. Much money has been spent on the program.
D. The program is of great benefit to the environment.
26. What is Zhou’s attitude towards “leftover blind box”?
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
27. According to Luo Xueming, which of the following is the biggest concern?
A. Food price. B. Food safety.
C. Environmental protection. D. Sustainable development.
C
Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies (殖民地), our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot — for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030. The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US$6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US$100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe.
28. Why is Stephen Hawking mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To predict the future. B. To show his concern.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To advertise space living.
29. What does the underlined word “terraform” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Warming up a planet.
B. Moving to a planet.
C. Constructing a planet.
D. Changing the environment on a planet.
30. What can you learn from the text?
A. The budget of the project is cost-effective.
B. Greenhouse gases are a must for living on Mars.
C. Hawaii is a place with Mars-like environment.
D. Humans living on Mars will be a reality in the not-too-distant future.
31. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Life on Mars? B. Homes on Mars?
C. Mars Exploration. D. Escape from Planet Earth.
D
Parents may worry that their children aren’t getting enough quality sleep. However, now there’s a smart bed to provide adults with sleep data by a smart app. The SleepIQbed can send a signal of attention to parents when their children are asleep, as well as if they are risking out of bed. If a child is tossing and turning (辗转反侧) , it can also be adjusted to make it more comfortable.
The bed was first introduced at the International Consumer, Electronics Show (CES) . It claims to be the only one in the world, which adjusts with children as they grow. Children don’t need to wear a smart-band or alternative wearable device in bed. Instead, the quality of their sleep is measured by sensors in the bed, which monitor their present, average breathing rate, heart rate and movement. Then it assesses quality of sleep. They are given a SleepIQ score for each night’s sleep. Using an accompanying app, parents can see it clearly. It also allows parents to monitor routines (常规) that affect sleep, such as exercise, caffeine and screen time, helping them to develop a routine that helps develop a good night’s shut-eye.
The bed sends a signal to the app when it senses a child is out of bed or is restless, such as if he is having a nightmare (噩梦). Its firmness can be adjusted to change the level of comfort and support to suit children as they grow. A “head tilt (倾斜)” feature for reading is built in, and parents can remotely turn a light out after reading time using the app. There are also fun features such as a “monster scanner”, which uses a mobile phone to check for and fight monsters under the bed. What’s more, an automatic light will guide children, if they need to get up in the middle of the night.
The bed is available online and at Sleep Number stores in the US from around $ 499, almost the same as the beds we are sleeping on.
32. What effect does the SleepIQbed have on children?
A Their sleep quality will be improved.
B. Their sports performance will be improved.
C. Their health condition will be improved greatly.
D. They no longer need to get up in the middle of the night.
33. What can be learned from the text?
A. The SleepIQbed is the best bed around the world.
B. Children will never fall out of the SleepIQ bed.
C. The smart bed is as cheap as an ordinary one.
D. Another smart bed is needed with children growing older.
34. What can be inferred from having the SleepIQ bed?
A. Children won’t have a nightmare.
B. Parents can be free from some worries.
C. Children had better not read on the bed.
D. Parents don’t need to care for children any more at night.
35. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to get a good sleep.
B. How parents take care of children.
C. The smart bed helping sleep better.
D. Risks that children face when sleeping.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Frank threw himself into his seat in the back of the Milwaukee city bus along with several other high school boys. It was another cold, gray day.
He still remembered his stomach chilling (使寒冷) into a frozen knot as he approached the locker room last month. He had read the team list posted on the locker room door, hoping, searching anxiously for his name. It hadn’t been there. It was missing. He had felt suddenly as if he had ceased (停止) to exist. Become invisible.
It wasn’t easy starting a new school, especially for Frank because he had been a star athlete in all sports at elementary school. Now, it seemed, he was nothing.
The bus came to a stop at the County Institutions grounds. A very pregnant woman hung onto the silver handrail (扶手) and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she fell backward into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Frank saw that she wasn’t wearing any shoes.
The bus driver yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It is freezing out there.”
“I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and rolled their eyes.
The driver scratched (挠) his head and shouted, “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?”
“I got eight kids. They all got shoes. There’s not enough left for me.”
Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. His feet were warm and cozy. And then he looked back at the woman. Her socks were torn. Her coat, missing buttons, hung open around her stomach, as swollen (肿大的) as a basketball.
Frank didn’t hear anything around him after that. The word “invisible” popped into his mind again. An invisible person forgotten by society, but for a different reason, he thought.
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:
He would probably always be able to afford shoes but she probably never would.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
He then hurried to the door when he heard the woman exclaim, “Thank you, young man.”
