Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic talents at a Beck Center exhibition. The exhibition “Side by Side” includes the pair’s artistic interpretations (诠释) of the same characters and scenes. I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryan’s cartooning class. Keira, now a fourth grader, has been creating art since she was a young child. “She was always next to me, lying on the ground drawing,” Ryan recalled. Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck. The best part of “Side by Side” was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit, Keira said. “I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.” Keira told local news media that she’d love art even if her dad had a different career. “If my dad wasn’t an artist,” she said, “I’d still probably be doing this.” Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood. “I’d always be drawing when I wasn’t supposed to be,” he told me. “I’d get notes all the time saying, ‘You need to focus more on your study.’” That passion never left him. “In high school, I took every art class you could possibly take,” he said. Before becoming a Star Wars sketch artist for Topps, Ryan had other jobs, including working as a street artist. When asked what he liked best about his job, Ryan didn’t hesitate. “Surely the art show I just had with Keira,” he said. “It’s hard to even put into words. It’s pretty touching.” Ryan also loves working with his students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of my students.” 4. What do we know about “Side by Side”? A. It receives a lot of support from families. B. It is mainly open to primary school students. C. It is aimed to honor a father and his daughter. D. It shows the works of a father and his daughter. 5. How did “Side by Side” benefit Keira? A. It enriched her social life. B. It made her more renowned. C. It enabled her to learn a lot about art. D. It made her know more about her father. 6. What do Ryan and Keira have in common? A. They once worked as street artists. B. They were once refused by Beck Center. C. They got interested in art at an early age. D. They both studied visual art at Beck Center. 7. How does Ryan feel about his job at Beck Center? A. Boring. B. Enjoyable. C. Challenging. D. Touchable. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Ryan Finley和他的女儿Keira在艺术领域的共同经历和成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic talents at a Beck Center exhibition. The exhibition “Side by Side” includes the pair’s artistic interpretations (诠释) of the same characters and scenes (瑞安和他10岁的女儿凯拉最近在贝克中心展览上展示了他们的艺术才能。这次展览“并肩”包括了这对父女对相同角色和场景的艺术诠释)”可知，“Side by Side”展览展示了父亲和女儿的作品。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The best part of “Side by Side” was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit, Keira said. “I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.””(Keira说，“并肩”展览最棒的部分是朋友们和同学们来看展览。“我喜欢和爸爸一起走来走去，和每个人聊天。”)”可知，“Side by Side”让Keira的社会生活更加丰富。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck.(Keira对艺术的热爱持续着，她成为了Ryan在Beck中心班级的学生)”以及第六段“Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood(Ryan对艺术的兴趣也是从小就开始的)”可知，Ryan和Keira共同之处在于他们都在很小的时候就对艺术产生了兴趣。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ryan also loves working with his students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of my students.”(Ryan也喜欢和他的学生们一起工作。“我尽我所能确保他们对自己正在做的事情感到快乐，”他说。“我最喜欢的部分是看到我的学生的成长。”)”可推知，Ryan对于他在Beck Center的工作感觉非常愉快。故选B项。 C Located deep in the mountains of Chongyang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir (水库) looks like a river with many twists and turns. For Wang Zhijun a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle (障碍) to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle (往返) back and forth via boat. A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many. He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula (半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain. Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe. With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with (与……结合) the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat. He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed. Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1,000 residents. Wang is proud that 40 of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said.

The ferry trip is sometimes dangerous. B. Wang works in a primary school near a reservoir. C. The parents often help him carry water to the school. D.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了王志军老师28年来在盘山村小学任教同时还兼任摆渡人接送学生上学和回家的感人事迹。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle(障碍)to be overcome.(王志军是一名小学教师，在水库附近的村庄服务了28年，对他来说，这条河是一个需要克服的障碍)”可知，王志军在水库附近的一所小学工作。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段划线单词后“to send them out from the mountains through education(通过教育把他们从山里送出去)”可知，这是王志军作为教师的最终梦想，划线单词ultimate和final意思相同，意为“最终的”。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe.(王走了500米山路为学生们送水到学校。他划船去接他们上学，然后带他们回家。王说，他用水桶摔了很多次，但渡船一直都很安全)”及第七段“He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development, but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed.(他说，为了更好的职业发展，他得到了几个离开该地区的机会，但他觉得自己对孩子们有责任，所以留下来了)”可知，王志军给学生送水并送学生安全地上学和回家体现了他的体贴，他为了学生的发展放弃了自己的发展机会体现了他的奉献精神。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle (障碍) to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle(往返)back and forth via boat.(王志军是一名小学教师，在水库附近的村庄服务了28年，对他来说，这条河是一个需要克服的障碍。他兼任摆渡人，帮助学生们乘船来回穿梭)”可知，本文的主题是老师开船接孩子长达28年的故事。故选B。 D Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health.Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.But is juicing really as healthy as we think? A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice. All fruits contain sugars and don’t seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to excess(过量的)daily calories.This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells.It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream. This is not the case with fruit juice.Different from whole fruit，the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as “free sugars”，just like honey and added sugars.With the fiber removed，fruit juice’s sugar is absorbed more quickly.A sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas(胰腺)to release insulin(胰岛素)to bring it back down to a normal level.Over time，this system can wear out，increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes(糖尿病). In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected bet ween 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes．They’ve concluded that even when fruit juice is similar in the nutritional content to whole fruit，fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids. “Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，” said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.“It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix.” 12. What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity? A. Experts’ recommendation． B. Its obvious medical effects． C. Its assumed benefits to health． D. People’s improved life quality． 13. Why is whole fruit healthier? A. It provides better nutrition． B. Its fiber slows sugar absorption． C. It protects our digestive system． D. Its fiber helps remove extra sugar． 14. How did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013? A. By observing the blood sugar level． B. By comparing liquid and solid intake． C. By analysing previously collected data． D. By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients. 15. What is Dr. Smith’s attitude to fruit juice? A. Positive． B. Negative． C. Objective． D. Unclear． 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了喝果汁并不像我们想象中美好。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health. Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.(新鲜果汁在许多饮食中越来越受欢迎，尤其是在那些时间紧迫和关心自己健康的消费者中。果汁也与它可以帮助人们减肥的信念有关。）”可知，是因为它被认为对健康有益导致果汁越来越受欢迎。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells．It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.（这是因为在整个水果中发现的纤维是完好无损的，而糖包含在水果的细胞中。我们的消化系统需要一段时间来分解这些细胞，让糖进入血液）”可知，水果的纤维可以减缓糖的吸收，所以完整的水果更健康。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected bet ween 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes.（2013年，研究人员分析了从1986年到2009年收集的10万人的健康数据，发现喝果汁与患2型糖尿病的风险增加有关）”可知，研究人员是通过分析以前收集的数据得出这个结论的。故选C项。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“'Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，'said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.'It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix'”（弗吉尼亚大学医学教授艾米·史密斯博士说:“虽然果汁总比不吃水果好，但还是有很多限制。当我们每天摄入的游离糖超过I50ml，或者超过推荐的卡路里摄入量时，它就会带来风险。它能给我们提供维生素，但果汁远非速效解决之道。”）”可知，Dr．Smith认为果汁有好处，但是也不能多喝。观点中立客观。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.

If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. ____19____. • Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助人们制定一个计划去调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头疼的事。 【16题详解】 上文“In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock(事实上，早晨轻松起床的关键在于让你的生物钟休息。)”指出让你的生物钟休息，能帮你早晨轻松起床，空处应该承接上文，指出怎样能让你的生物钟休息，从而实现早上轻松起床，C项“A better plan for sleep can help.(一个更好的睡眠计划会有所帮助。)”符合，引起下文，下文“Here is how to make one.(以下是制作一个睡眠计划的方法。)”中的one代指选项提到的“A better plan”，故选C。 【17题详解】 分析文章结构可知，此处是本段中心句。下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.(为了做出改变，你需要决定为什么它是重要的。你想准时起床和家人一起吃早餐，做些运动或者只是为你的一天做更好的准备吗？一旦你清楚了你的理由，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做的改变。)”可知，本段主要讲要找到自己的动机，B项“Find the right motivation.(找到正确的动机。)”符合，能概括本段内容，故选B。 【18题详解】 下文“That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.(如果你买一个带定时器的咖啡机，你可以多睡一刻钟。)”指出，作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，这样就能节约15分钟喝咖啡的时间，让你多睡15分钟，由此可知，空处应该引起下文，指出你在咖啡馆排队会浪费15分钟时间，所以作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，G项“Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.(重新考虑一下你在咖啡馆排队买咖啡的15分钟。)”符合，其中“the 15 minutes”呼应下文的“a quarter-hour”，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据本段中心句“Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.(周末保持你的睡眠/起床时间表)”可知，本段主要建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间，上文“But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found(但最近的一项研究发现，周末的补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周更加困倦。)”指出如果周末没有保持自己的作息时间，而是多睡觉，这实际上让自己下周更困倦，由此可知，此处强调我们应该要保持自己的作息时间，F项“Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.(不管是哪一天，都要坚持你设定的睡觉时间和起床时间。)”符合，对上文做出总结，故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.(在你尝试了一个星期的新方法之后，看看你的记录。)”指出我们在尝试新方法后，要自己做好记录同时进行评估，下文“If not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看其他你可以尝试的方法。)”指出尝试的新方法如果不起作用，要改变方法，由此可推知，空处应该与下文对应，指出如果方法奏效，要继续使用，E项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你采取的措施奏效了，那就坚持下去。)”符合，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Every Saturday, Grandpa and I walked to a nursing home. “Whoever visits the sick gives them life,” Grandpa ____21____ believed.

How are you going these days? Your idea of making use of AI language tools to assist your Chinese learning is quite fashionable, as we, interestingly in reverse, are using AI to improve our English learning. Allow me to raise some advice based on my learning experience. First, use AI only when it is necessary. For example, when we are confused about vocabulary or grammar problems, we can turn to AI, for that’s what it is best at. Secondly, remember that AI can’t implant its reading experience in us, so read Chinese literary works, which is an irreplaceable way of language learning. What’s more, don’t expect that AI would greatly improve your speaking skills, because currently it still can’t replace a real native speaker, with whom we can conduct real communication. Hope that your Chinese study will benefit a lot from the new way of learning! Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是一封建议信，要求考生给外国朋友Ken回信，就他使用AI工具辅助汉语学习的想法提出建议、简述原因并表达期待。 【详解】词汇积累 时尚的：fashionable→ trendy 困惑的：confused→ perplexed 最好的：best→ optimal 目前：currently→ at present 真正的：real→ genuine 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Allow me to raise some advice based on my learning experience. 拓展句：I would like to offer some suggestions to you which are based on my personal learning experience. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Your idea of making use of AI language tools to assist your Chinese learning is quite fashionable, as we, interestingly in reverse, are using AI to improve our English learning.（运用了动名词短语作宾语、动词不定式做目的状语和as引导的原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】Secondly, remember that AI can’t implant its reading experience in us, so read Chinese literary works, which is an irreplaceable way of language learning.（运用了连接代词that引导的宾语从句和关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Finding Niesha’s Courage Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr Roberts kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment. “Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr Roberts had hesitated, “If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find, your courage?” Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon. When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha?” Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class?” Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.” Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents. “I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy because I was lacking in confidence—not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.” 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That was the second time someone had told her that today. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: That was the second time someone had told her that today. Niesha stared at the precious blue ribbon, imaging the scene where her mother tried her best to overcome her fears and pick up her courage to stand on the stage and face the audience, giving a fantastic speech. In front of the mirror was her continuous practice, from pronunciation to gesture. When fatigue came, she would sit in her seat and recite the passage over and over again in order to improve her fluency. Paragraph 2: The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. Though having made adequate preparations, she was still overwhelmed by great nervousness: her heart beat violently as she dragged herself to the front of the class; her face turned pale and she could hardly squeeze out any word with her absolutely blank mind. Anxiety had almost drove her crazy when suddenly, she caught sight of Mr Roberts’ smile, comforting and inspiring. She remembered her Momma’s encouraging words. “How could I let them down?” she thought to herself. Holding the blue ribbon tight in her hand, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down and gathered her courage. “Dear fellow students,” she started... 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Niesha在做报告时非常紧张，不得不终止。回到家后，她告诉了妈妈事情的经过，妈妈告诉Niesha自己小时候也很害羞，却获得公众演讲奖，妈妈告诉Niesha开学之初，她是演讲队最害羞的女孩，但结束那年，她成了蓝带冠军，因为她努力，大部分时间敢于面对自己的恐惧，妈妈告诉Niesha需要找到自己的勇气。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这是今天第二次有人对她这么说了。”可知，第一段可描写Niesha如何克服恐惧的内心活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，Niesha又走到教室前面做报告。”可知，第二段可描写Niesha克服恐惧完成报告。 2.续写线索：凝视蓝丝带——努力练习——非常紧张——看到老师的微笑——想起妈妈的鼓励——鼓起勇气——开始演讲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①凝视：gaze at/stare at ②练习：practice/drill ③鼓起勇气：gather one’s courage/pluck up 情绪类 ①害怕的：fear/dread ②焦虑：anxiety/worry 【点睛】[高分句型1] Niesha stared at the precious blue ribbon, imaging the scene where her mother tried her best to overcome her fears and pick up her courage to stand on the stage and face the audience, giving a fantastic speech.

Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic talents at a Beck Center exhibition. The exhibition “Side by Side” includes the pair’s artistic interpretations (诠释) of the same characters and scenes. I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryan’s cartooning class. Keira, now a fourth grader, has been creating art since she was a young child. “She was always next to me, lying on the ground drawing,” Ryan recalled. Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck. The best part of “Side by Side” was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit, Keira said. “I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.” Keira told local news media that she’d love art even if her dad had a different career. “If my dad wasn’t an artist,” she said, “I’d still probably be doing this.” Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood. “I’d always be drawing when I wasn’t supposed to be,” he told me. “I’d get notes all the time saying, ‘You need to focus more on your study.’” That passion never left him. “In high school, I took every art class you could possibly take,” he said. Before becoming a Star Wars sketch artist for Topps, Ryan had other jobs, including working as a street artist. When asked what he liked best about his job, Ryan didn’t hesitate. “Surely the art show I just had with Keira,” he said. “It’s hard to even put into words. It’s pretty touching.” Ryan also loves working with his students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of my students.” 4. What do we know about “Side by Side”? A. It receives a lot of support from families. B. It is mainly open to primary school students. C. It is aimed to honor a father and his daughter. D. It shows the works of a father and his daughter. 5. How did “Side by Side” benefit Keira? A. It enriched her social life. B. It made her more renowned. C. It enabled her to learn a lot about art. D. It made her know more about her father. 6. What do Ryan and Keira have in common? A. They once worked as street artists. B. They were once refused by Beck Center. C. They got interested in art at an early age. D. They both studied visual art at Beck Center. 7. How does Ryan feel about his job at Beck Center? A. Boring. B. Enjoyable. C. Challenging. D. Touchable. C Located deep in the mountains of Chongyang county of Hubei province, the Qingshan Reservoir (水库) looks like a river with many twists and turns. For Wang Zhijun, a primary school teacher who has served the villages near the reservoir for 28 years, the river is an obstacle (障碍) to be overcome. He doubles as a ferryman to help students shuttle (往返) back and forth via boat. A recent video of Wang went viral on social media and moved many. He became a teacher at the primary school in Panshan village in 1995. With water in three directions, the village occupies a sort of peninsula (半岛), even though it’s high on Qingshan Mountain. Wang travels 500 meters of mountain roads to carry water to the school for the students. He rows a boat to pick them up for school, and then he takes them home afterward. Wang said he had suffered many falls with the water buckets, but the ferry trips have always been safe. With development of the local economy, Panshan Primary School merged with (与……结合) the Chichong Primary School on the opposite bank of the reservoir in 2017. Wang could drive to pick up most of the students, but a few depend on his boat. He said he had been given several opportunities to get out of the area for better career development but he felt responsible for the kids and stayed. Panshan and Chichong villages together have more than 1,000 residents. Wang is proud that 40 of his students eventually entered college. “My ultimate dream is to send them out from the mountains through education,” Wang said. Meanwhile, he is proud that six of the 40 college students returned to their hometown and became teachers themselves. 8. What can be learned about Wang according to the news report? A. The ferry trip is sometimes dangerous. B. Wang works in a primary school near a reservoir. C. The parents often help him carry water to the school. D. Wang is sorry that few of his students were admitted to college. 9. What does the underlined word “ultimate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Usual. B. Unreasonable. C. Original. D. Final. 10. How can we best describe Wang Zhijun? A. Shy and depressed. B. Selfish and stubborn. C. Devoted and considerate. D. Cautious and sensitive. 11. Which can be the best title for the news report? A. A talented teacher works at primary school B. Teacher picks up kids by boat for 28 years C A common teacher makes great achievements in life D. Teacher refuses opportunities of better career development D Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health.Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.But is juicing really as healthy as we think? A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice. All fruits contain sugars and don’t seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to excess(过量的)daily calories.This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells.It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream. This is not the case with fruit juice.Different from whole fruit，the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as “free sugars”，just like honey and added sugars.With the fiber removed，fruit juice’s sugar is absorbed more quickly.A sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas(胰腺)to release insulin(胰岛素)to bring it back down to a normal level.Over time，this system can wear out，increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes(糖尿病). In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected bet ween 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes．They’ve concluded that even when fruit juice is similar in the nutritional content to whole fruit，fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids. “Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，” said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.“It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix.” 12. What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity? A. Experts’ recommendation． B. Its obvious medical effects． C. Its assumed benefits to health． D. People’s improved life quality． 13 Why is whole fruit healthier? A. It provides better nutrition． B. Its fiber slows sugar absorption． C. It protects our digestive system． D. Its fiber helps remove extra sugar． 14. How did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013? A. By observing the blood sugar level． B. By comparing liquid and solid intake． C. By analysing previously collected data． D. By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients. 15. What is Dr. Smith’s attitude to fruit juice? A. Positive． B. Negative． C. Objective． D. Unclear． 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.

Mr Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr Roberts kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment. “Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr Roberts had hesitated, “If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find, your courage?” Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon. When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha?” Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class?” Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.” Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents. “I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy because I was lacking in confidence—not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.” 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That was the second time someone had told her that today. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
