It’s time to start planning for summer! There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London No matter the weather, as far as I’m concerned when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by dense whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city. This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is built in a natural amphitheatre (圆形露天竞技场) hidden in the Suffolk woodlands. This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as the mandatory A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Willow Globe, Powys An attractive theatre, the Willow Globe’s design is based on the London Globe Theatre, but it’s about a third of the size and formed not from wood, but willow trees woven together. Their programme is largely filled with all things Shakespeare: straight plays, of course, but also plenty of fun introductions and interpretations to bring the Bard’s words to new or reluctant audiences. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Situated on the cliff of Porthcurno, Minack Theatre is one you hardly need an excuse to visit; seeing anything at all, backdropped by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and some others. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September. 1. Which theater would you go if you are a Teddy Bear lover? A. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. B. Thorington Theatre. C Willow Globe. D. Minack Theatre. 2. What do Willow Globe and the London Globe Theatre have in common? A. Their design. B. Their size. C. Their building materials. D. Their programmes. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To recommend outdoor theatres. B. To organize outdoor theatre events. C. To show the architectural features of outdoor theatres. D. To explore historical background of outdoor theatres. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是几个英国最好的户外剧院。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Thorington Theatre, Suffolk部分中的“This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as the mandatory A Midsummer Night’s Dream.(今年的节目包括家庭最爱的《泰迪熊的野餐》、《小美人鱼》、莎士比亚的《暴风雨》以及必看的《仲夏夜之梦》。)”可知，Thorington Theatre的节目中包括家庭最爱的《泰迪熊的野餐》等，由此可知，泰迪熊爱好者会去Thorington Theatre。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Willow Globe, Powys部分中的“An attractive theatre, the Willow Globe’s design is based on the London Globe Theatre, but it’s about a third of the size and formed not from wood, but willow trees woven together.(这是一个吸引人的剧院，Willow Globe的设计是基于the London Globe Theatre，但它的大小只有伦敦环球剧场的三分之一，而且它不是由木头建成的，而是由柳树编织而成的。)”可知，Willow Globe的设计是基于the London Globe Theatre，由此可知，Willow Globe和London Globe Theatre在设计方面相似。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“It’s time to start planning for summer! There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.(是时候开始为夏天做计划了！有很多户外剧院可供选择，我们整理了一份英国最好的户外剧院清单。)”可知，在夏季有很多户外剧院可供选择，本文整理了一份英国最好的户外剧影院清单，由此可知，本文的目的是推荐几个户外剧影院。故选A项。 B My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience. Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare. My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education. Our big house fell empty. There was no help and even no phone connection. Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not. Back then I was occupied with my own needs; today, I realise my mother paid for my education with her tears. If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. To this she added extraordinary generosity. Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who else judges me, my mother will not. Currently I have my own kids. They are children of a different time. Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs. My mom tried to be my “everything” parent while I am what is called the good-enough mother at my best. We may differ in our methods and tools, but the essence of motherhood remains constant. 4. How does the author show her mom’s quality in the first paragraph? A. By quoting a remark. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing the cause. 5. Which words can best describe the author’s mother? A. Optimistic and persevering. B. Hardworking and demanding. C. Devoted and selfless. D. Cheerful and reliable. 6. What does the underlined phrase “good-enough mother” probably refer to in the last paragraph? A. A mother who pursues perfection in childcare. B. A mother who devotes herself wholly to her work. C. A mother who places her kids’ needs above all else. D. A mother who tries to balance her parenting with her career. 7. What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. The Art of Being a Mother B. Lessons of Love and Strength C. Motherhood: The Greatest Adventure D. Motherhood: A Journey of Sacrifice and Strength 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的母亲全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。作者离开家接受更好的教育后，母亲独自面对空荡的家，但仍坚持自己的信念，希望孩子们能拥有她未曾拥有的机会。母亲对作者的绝对信任和爱，以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。如今，作者自己也成为母亲，尽管时代不同，但她也尽力做到最好，为孩子提供必要的关爱和支持。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare. (由于她在我睡觉时的护理，我的网球鞋总是闪闪发光。午餐时，我的朋友们围在我的午餐周围，这是最美味的，而且有足够的余量)”可知，作者通过举出网球鞋和午餐两个事例来表明她的母亲的品质。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience. Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. (我的家人搬到了墨尔本，在那里我的父亲重新进入学术界，我的母亲用奉献和耐心重塑了我的生活。放弃职业梦想可能符合她的时代，但我母亲全身心地投入到做母亲的生活中)”和第三段中“When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. (当我还小的时候，我的母亲对我表现出了绝对的信任和绝对的爱。在她眼里，我做什么错事都可以弥补。她没有说太多甜蜜的话来表达她的爱，但和她在一起让我觉得我是世界上最重要的人。母亲让我过着比她更充实的生活，没有讨价还价，也没有内疚)”可知，作者的母亲全身心地做好母亲的工作，用奉献和耐心培养作者，对作者充满信任和爱，让作者可以过更充实的生活。因此，作者的母亲具有奉献精神，是无私的。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分的上文“Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs. (如今的母亲们在职业目标和个人目标方面有着相互竞争的需求。有时候，我必须把我的工作置于他们的需要之上)”可知，作者作为母亲面临着平衡职业目标和个人目标的难题，需要处理工作和孩子的需求的主次关系，再结合下文“We may differ in our methods and tools, but the essence of motherhood remains constant. (我们可能在方法和工具上有所不同，但母性的本质是不变的)”可知，作者认为自己和自己的母亲有所不同，但同样体现了母性；由此推知，划线部分指的是“一个试图在养育孩子和事业之间找到平衡的母亲”。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中“If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. (如果说她的自我牺牲使我达到了更高的高度，那么她的第二个品质则奠定了基础)”和“Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who else judges me, my mother will not. (今天，我把我的坚强和坚定归功于我的确信，不管别人对我评头评足，我的母亲都不会)”可知，文章主要围绕作者的母亲展开，讲述了她全心投入到家庭生活中，为作者提供了无微不至的照顾和支持。作者离开家接受更好的教育后，她独自面对空荡的家，但仍坚持自己的信念，希望孩子们能拥有她未曾拥有的机会。母亲对作者的绝对信任和爱，以及她的慷慨和坚强，让作者也变得坚强和坚定。因此，D项“母亲：牺牲和力量的旅程”概括了作者母亲身上的特质，最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 C Much of the conservation and climate change spotlight falls on tropical (热带的) forests. Given this, people might forget that forests in the temperate (温带的) areas — those found in large parts of North America, Europe and higher latitudes in Asia and Australia —also have the power to help limit climate change. Although preserving tropical rainforests is essential to climate progress, policy makers cannot neglect the important role of temperate forests. This Earth Week, we must turn our attention and dollars to these stretches of trees, or we will face the loss of an important tool in managing global warming. Temperate forests represent about 25percent of Earth’s arboreal lands. As temperatures have changed, temperate trees face threats of harmful invasive pests (侵入的害虫) from other regions, loss of forest lands from urban and farmland expansion. We believe the greatest emerging threat to temperate forests is wildfires that occur beyond normal historic frequency and severity. But surprisingly, widespread fire suppression (抑制), especially in dry forests in the West, has allowed a build-up of dangerous fuels like deadwood. These fuels, combined with the drought caused by climate change, have led to increasingly frequent and severe fires that kill enormous numbers of trees and release a large quantity of CO2 to the atmosphere in bad fires years in the United States. We need to reduce land-clearing for housing and agriculture, then allow trees to regrow where they have been removed, and protect and better care for the few temperate forests that still contain stands of very old trees. These old forests are some of the most carbon-dense ecosystems and possess unique biodiversity. Therefore, governments and landowners must make sure middle-aged forests that regrew after cutting will develop into the old-growth forests of tomorrow. We need to take advantage of current public funding for forest conservation and management and, at the same time, promote private investment to support restorative measures and sustainable forestry to capture the climate potential of temperate forests in the U. S. and elsewhere. 8. What is emphasized in the first paragraph? A Temperate forests’ impact on climate change. B. Distribution of temperate forests. C. Conservation of tropical forests. D. Causes of global warming. 9. What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in the first paragraph? A. Ignore. B. Limit. C. Perform. D. Assess. 10. What caused the more frequent and severe wildfires in temperate forests? A. Increasing urbanization. B. Fire control practices. C. The invasive species. D. Farmland expansion. 11. Which of the following is a measure to protect temperate forests? A. Banning tree cutting. B. Restricting investment. C. Conserving old forests. D. Protecting farm land. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。作者介绍了温带森林在应对气候变化中的重要性和面临的威胁，以及提出相应的保护措施，旨在强调对温带森林保护的必要性和紧迫性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Much of the conservation and climate change spotlight falls on tropical (热带的) forests. Given this, people might forget that forests in the temperate (温带的) areas — those found in large parts of North America, Europe and higher latitudes in Asia and Australia —also have the power to help limit climate change. Although preserving tropical rainforests is essential to climate progress, policy makers cannot neglect the important role of temperate forests. This Earth Week, we must turn our attention and dollars to these stretches of trees, or we will face the loss of an important tool in managing global warming. (保护和气候变化的焦点大多集中在热带森林上。考虑到这一点，人们可能会忘记温带地区的森林——那些在北美、欧洲以及亚洲和澳大利亚高纬度地区发现的森林——也有帮助限制气候变化的力量。尽管保护热带雨林对气候进展至关重要，但政策制定者不能忽视温带森林的重要作用。在这个“地球周”，我们必须把我们的注意力和资金转向这些大片的树木，否则我们将面临失去控制全球变暖的重要工具。)”可知，本段强调了温带森林对气候变化的影响。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中的“Much of the conservation and climate change spotlight falls on tropical (热带的) forests. (保护和气候变化的焦点大多集中在热带森林上。)”、“Although preserving tropical rainforests is essential to climate progress, policy makers cannot (尽管保护热带雨林对气候进展至关重要，但政策制定者不能)”、“the important role of temperate forests (温带森林的重要作用)”可知，作者认为政策制定者不能忽视温带森林在限制气候变化中的重要作用，因此neglect在此处意为“忽视”。A. Ignore忽略；B. Limit限制；C. Perform执行；D. Assess评估。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“But surprisingly, widespread fire suppression (抑制), especially in dry forests in the West, has allowed a build-up of dangerous fuels like deadwood. These fuels, combined with the drought caused by climate change, have led to increasingly frequent and severe fires that kill enormous numbers of trees and release a large quantity of CO2 to the atmosphere in bad fires years in the United States. (但令人惊讶的是，广泛的灭火，特别是在西部干燥的森林，已经允许像枯木这样的危险燃料的积累。这些燃料，再加上气候变化造成的干旱，导致了美国越来越频繁和严重的火灾，在严重的火灾年里，这些火灾杀死了大量的树木，并向大气中释放了大量的二氧化碳。)”可知，是由于过去的灭火措施导致了危险燃料的积累，加上气候变化引起的干旱，造成了温带森林更频繁和更严重的野火。故选B。 11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Therefore, governments and landowners must make sure middle-aged forests that regrew after cutting will develop into the old-growth forests of tomorrow. (因此，政府和土地所有者必须确保砍伐后重新生长的中年森林将发展成为明天的原始森林。)”可知，保护老林是保护温带森林的一项措施。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. ____12____ When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents.

(当你对自己有信心时，你就能最好地应对生活中的挑战。)”可知，有信心有助于更好地应对生活中的挑战，由此可知，此空处应承上启下的作用，E选项“But your attitude and your self-belief are your cure for anxiety. (但是你的态度和自信是你治疗焦虑的良药。)”讲述的内容提到解决生活中焦虑的方法，与上文为转折关系，且引出下文要讲述的话题，符合语境。故选E项。 【13题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Build your team (组建你的团队)”可知，本段建议组建团队来解决焦虑问题，结合空前的“Choose your companions carefully. (仔细选择你的同伴。)”可知，建立团队需要认真挑选同伴，根据空后的“You need people who “get you”, and see your true potential. When the going gets tough, you may need to lean on their belief in you and borrow it until your own has recovered and bounced back! (你需要那些“理解你”，看到你真正潜力的人。当事情变得艰难时，你可能需要依靠他们对你的信任，并借用它，直到你自己的信心恢复并反弹！)”可知，建立团队后会有更多的人理解你，有困难时还会借助他们恢复信心，由此可知，此空讲述的是挑选团队同伴会带来的好处，B选项“They will be feeding your self-belief or starving it. (他们会滋养你的自信，或者让你渴望自信。)”中的they指代的为空前的“your companions”，且讲述的是这些同伴带来的好处，符合语境。故选B项。 【14题详解】 根据空前的“One of the simplest ways to change your internal state from feeling doubtful to one of enthusiasm and self-belief is to move your body. (将你的内心状态从怀疑转变为热情和自信的最简单的方法之一就是运动你的身体。)”以及本段的主题句“move (运动)”可知，此处建议通过运动改变内心状态，从怀疑变成自信，F选项“As little as 10 minutes of swift walking increases your energy and positive mood. (只需10分钟的快步走就能增加你的能量和积极的情绪。)”讲述的10分钟的快步走与运动相关，而且是对空前内容的进一步解释，符合语境和主题。故选F项。 【15题详解】 根据空后的“Otherwise, you could be constantly “on” and your nervous system could be flooded with stress, making it hard for your system to come back to balance. (否则，你可能会一直“兴奋”，你的神经系统可能会充满压力，使你的系统很难恢复平衡。)”可知，如果不按照此空讲述的做法，就可能会造成空后的后果，G选项“You need a break from the 24-hour newsfeeds and alarms from your smart phones. (你需要从24小时的新闻推送和智能手机的闹钟中休息一下。)”讲述的是如果不从24小时的新闻推送和智能手机的闹钟中休息一下，就可能会造成空后所讲述的结果，符合语境。故选G项。 【16题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Stop the criticism (停止批评)”可知，此处建议停止批评以提高自信，结合空后的“There is no one who can do more damage to your self-belief than — you! (没有人比你自己更能伤害你的自信了!)”可知，只有你自己才能伤害自己的自信，由此可推断，此空处讲述的应是自己在培养自信方面所扮演的角色，D选项“You can be a great partner or a great enemy for yourself. (你可以成为自己的好伙伴，也可以成为自己的死敌。)”讲述的是自己既可以是自己的伙伴，也可能是自己的死敌，与空后讲述的内容一致，且与本段的主题“停止对自己的批评”吻合。故选D项。 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Only two tickets to the big basketball game.

We can make many small changes in our daily lives to improve wildlife conservation. (英译汉) __________________________________________________________________ 【答案】我们在日常生活中可以做一些小改变来促进野生动物的保护。 【解析】 【详解】考查名词、介词短语和动词不定式。We作主语，意为“我们”；can make many small changes为句子的谓语和宾语，意为“可以做出一些小改变”；in our daily lives作状语，意为“在日常生活中”；to improve wildlife conservation为不定式短语作目的状语，意为“来促进野生动物的保护”，其中wildlife conservation为名词作宾语。故翻译为：我们在日常生活中可以做一些小改变来促进野生动物的保护。 第二节(满分15分) 47. 你校英语校报举行以“Healthy Lifestyle”为主题的征文活动，请你写一份稿件，分享自己生活方式的转变，内容包括： 1．过去情况； 2．你的转变； 3．你的感受。 注意：(1)词数80左右； (2)可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Healthy Lifestyle ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Healthy Lifestyle I was addicted to junk food and avoided exercise.

However, in an unexpected turn of events, I found myself becoming the very person I have a strong dislike for. It happened during a wait for a train at the Southampton station. One afternoon, I was waiting for the train to London, and the station was crowded with travelers. With some time to spare, I decided to go into a convenience store to grab a pack of potato chips, which I put into my backpack. With a bit of time before the train’s departure, I took out a book, found a seat, and absorbed myself in reading. After a while, I noticed a woman beside me casually helping herself to my bag of chips, showing complete disrespect. I was shocked by her rudeness. Without any acknowledgment or permission, she had dived into my snack. While I had the urge to express my dissatisfaction, I held back. I slightly shifted the bag in her direction, hoping she’d take it easy. To my surprise, the woman remained unbothered by the situation and went on pulling out a chip from the pack, giving me a smile. Her actions were so daring that I was left in disbelief. At that moment, I struggled with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I felt like talking to her directly about her actions, but on the other, I resisted the urge, maintaining my calmness. Then the broadcast announced, “Passengers, please board the train.” I absentmindedly(茫然地)threw my book into my backpack, grabbed the empty potato chip wrapper that had been shared, dropped it into the rubbish bin, and headed straight for the ticket gate. Soon I found my seat on the train. Unexpectedly, the woman’s seat was directly opposite mine. Feeling upset, I reached into my backpack intending to continue my reading so as to calm myself down. 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。 To my astonishment, I discovered my unopened bag of chips resting safely inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “No worries,” the woman said with a smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】To my astonishment, I discovered my unopened bag of chips resting safely inside. All of a sudden I realized the truth that while we were waiting for the train, the lady ate her own potato chips. And how unreasonable and arrogant I was, although I actively controlled my anger at the time. At this moment, I felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. How should I be so rude and impolite? Where was my own cultivation?! I sincerely apologized to the lady immediately and explained my negligence. “No worries,” the woman said with a smile. The woman went on to say that understanding was the best choice for everyone was neglecting. Though I ate her potato chips in the station without her permission, she was still friendly to me, which was the true embodiment of cultivation and quality. Compared with this woman, the quality and self-cultivation I claimed was not worth mentioning. She was the example I really wanted to learn from. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一直以自己是一个有礼貌、举止得体的绅士而自豪，不喜欢任何缺乏适当礼貌的行为。然而，在一个意想不到的转折中，作者发现自己变成了自己非常不喜欢的人。在火车站等火车的时候，作者误认为一位女士吃了自己的薯片而变得很生气，后来发现是自己吃了这位女士的薯片。这位女士不但没有怪罪作者还非常友好的安慰作者，这让着体会到什么才是真正有有礼貌和举止得体。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，我发现我未打开的薯片袋安全地放在里面。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现自己吃了对方的薯片之后的反应：尴尬、自责以及反思，及时向对方道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容““别担心，”女人笑着说。”可知，第二段可描写这位女士安慰作者的话，以及作者发现这位女士才是真正的有礼貌、举止得体的榜样。 2.续写线索：等候火车——误认为对方吃了自己的吃薯片——发现是自己吃了对方的薯片——尴尬羞愧——道歉——对方安慰宽容理解——作者反思 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①努力控制：actively controlled / strived to restrain ②解释：explain/clarify ③继续：went on / continue 情绪类 ①窘迫的：embarrassed / mortified ②真诚地：sincerely / genuinely 【点睛】 【高分句型1】All of a sudden I realized the truth that while waiting for the train, the lady ate her own potato chips.

It’s time to start planning for summer! There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London No matter the weather, as far as I’m concerned when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by dense whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city. This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between. Thorington Theatre Suffolk A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is built in a natural amphitheatre (圆形露天竞技场) hidden in the Suffolk woodlands. This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as the mandatory A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Willow Globe, Powys An attractive theatre, the Willow Globe’s design is based on the London Globe Theatre, but it’s about a third of the size and formed not from wood, but willow trees woven together. Their programme is largely filled with all things Shakespeare: straight plays, of course, but also plenty of fun introductions and interpretations to bring the Bard’s words to new or reluctant audiences. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Situated on the cliff of Porthcurno, Minack Theatre is one you hardly need an excuse to visit; seeing anything at all, backdropped by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and some others. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September. 1. Which theater would you go if you are a Teddy Bear lover? A. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. B. Thorington Theatre. C. Willow Globe. D. Minack Theatre. 2. What do Willow Globe and the London Globe Theatre have in common? A. Their design. B. Their size. C. Their building materials. D. Their programmes. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To recommend outdoor theatres. B. To organize outdoor theatre events. C. To show the architectural features of outdoor theatres. D. To explore historical background of outdoor theatres. B My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience. Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare. My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education. Our big house fell empty. There was no help and even no phone connection. Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not. Back then I was occupied with my own needs; today, I realise my mother paid for my education with her tears. If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. To this she added extraordinary generosity. Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who else judges me, my mother will not. Currently I have my own kids. They are children of a different time. Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs. My mom tried to be my “everything” parent while I am what is called the good-enough mother at my best. We may differ in our methods and tools, but the essence of motherhood remains constant. 4. How does the author show her mom’s quality in the first paragraph? A. By quoting a remark. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing the cause. 5. Which words can best describe the author’s mother? A. Optimistic and persevering. B. Hardworking and demanding. C. Devoted and selfless. D. Cheerful and reliable. 6. What does the underlined phrase “good-enough mother” probably refer to in the last paragraph? A. A mother who pursues perfection in childcare. B. A mother who devotes herself wholly to her work. C. A mother who places her kids’ needs above all else. D. A mother who tries to balance her parenting with her career. 7. What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. The Art of Being a Mother B. Lessons of Love and Strength C. Motherhood: The Greatest Adventure D. Motherhood: A Journey of Sacrifice and Strength C Much of the conservation and climate change spotlight falls on tropical (热带的) forests. Given this, people might forget that forests in the temperate (温带的) areas — those found in large parts of North America, Europe and higher latitudes in Asia and Australia —also have the power to help limit climate change. Although preserving tropical rainforests is essential to climate progress, policy makers cannot neglect the important role of temperate forests. This Earth Week, we must turn our attention and dollars to these stretches of trees, or we will face the loss of an important tool in managing global warming. Temperate forests represent about 25percent of Earth’s arboreal lands. As temperatures have changed, temperate trees face threats of harmful invasive pests (侵入的害虫) from other regions, loss of forest lands from urban and farmland expansion. We believe the greatest emerging threat to temperate forests is wildfires that occur beyond normal historic frequency and severity. But surprisingly, widespread fire suppression (抑制), especially in dry forests in the West, has allowed a build-up of dangerous fuels like deadwood. These fuels, combined with the drought caused by climate change, have led to increasingly frequent and severe fires that kill enormous numbers of trees and release a large quantity of CO2 to the atmosphere in bad fires years in the United States. We need to reduce land-clearing for housing and agriculture, then allow trees to regrow where they have been removed, and protect and better care for the few temperate forests that still contain stands of very old trees. These old forests are some of the most carbon-dense ecosystems and possess unique biodiversity. Therefore, governments and landowners must make sure middle-aged forests that regrew after cutting will develop into the old-growth forests of tomorrow. We need to take advantage of current public funding for forest conservation and management and, at the same time, promote private investment to support restorative measures and sustainable forestry to capture the climate potential of temperate forests in the U. S. and elsewhere. 8. What is emphasized in the first paragraph? A. Temperate forests’ impact on climate change. B. Distribution of temperate forests. C. Conservation of tropical forests. D. Causes of global warming. 9. What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in the first paragraph? A. Ignore. B. Limit. C. Perform. D. Assess. 10. What caused the more frequent and severe wildfires in temperate forests? A. Increasing urbanization. B. Fire control practices. C. The invasive species. D. Farmland expansion. 11. Which of the following is a measure to protect temperate forests? A. Banning tree cutting. B. Restricting investment. C. Conserving old forests. D. Protecting farm land. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. ____12____ When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents.

However, in an unexpected turn of events, I found myself becoming the very person I have a strong dislike for. It happened during a wait for a train at the Southampton station. One afternoon, I was waiting for the train to London, and the station was crowded with travelers. With some time to spare, I decided to go into a convenience store to grab a pack of potato chips, which I put into my backpack. With a bit of time before the train’s departure, I took out a book, found a seat, and absorbed myself in reading. After a while, I noticed a woman beside me casually helping herself to my bag of chips, showing complete disrespect. I was shocked by her rudeness. Without any acknowledgment or permission, she had dived into my snack. While I had the urge to express my dissatisfaction, I held back. I slightly shifted the bag in her direction, hoping she’d take it easy. To my surprise, the woman remained unbothered by the situation and went on pulling out a chip from the pack, giving me a smile. Her actions were so daring that I was left in disbelief. At that moment, I struggled with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I felt like talking to her directly about her actions, but on the other, I resisted the urge, maintaining my calmness. Then the broadcast announced, “Passengers, please board the train.” I absentmindedly(茫然地)threw my book into my backpack, grabbed the empty potato chip wrapper that had been shared, dropped it into the rubbish bin, and headed straight for the ticket gate. Soon I found my seat on the train. Unexpectedly, the woman’s seat was directly opposite mine. Feeling upset, I reached into my backpack intending to continue my reading so as to calm myself down. 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。 To my astonishment, I discovered my unopened bag of chips resting safely inside. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “No worries,” the woman said with a smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5CBCBC 6-10 CBABB 11-15AACCC 16-20 AABBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
