第一节(共 15 小题:每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Do you want to see majestic lions roaring, rare rhinos running and colorful birds flying? You’ll find this incredible display of nature in the Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley.
First stop
Fly into Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This great city is known for its fashion markets and beautiful art. And be sure to pick up some rich Kenyan coffee while you’re there! Then head for the countryside.
Plan your trip
The largest of the three lakes in the system, Lake Nakuru, is less than 175 kilometers from Nairobi. But Lakes Bogoria and Elementaita are equally worth a visit. You can stay at one of several choices of luxurious cabins in the valley. And if you sign up for a trip, be sure to put flamingos, the white and pink birds, at the top of your list.
Paradise
The Kenya Lake System is shallow and alkaline (碱性的). That means it supports vegetation such as green algae, a food source for many waterfowl. Hundreds of species of birds flourish here, using this area as a major breeding and nesting ground. Water buffalo, leopards, monkeys and the endangered Rothschild giraffe also make this area their home.
Other sights
Wildlife isn’t the only natural wonder in the Great Rift Valley. The valley marks a place where the earth is divided far below the surface. This rock separation belowground leads to noticeable features aboveground. Walking around Lake Bogoria especially, you will see steam rising from hot springs.
Other activities include golfing, horseback riding and hiking. The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, either. The river valley is far from city lights, so many visitors gaze at the stars shining above.
If you are ready for a wildlife experience, don’t hesitate!
1. What is Nairobi famous for?
A. Coffee markets. B. Beautiful fashion shows.
C. Fashion markets. D. Great artists.
2. Which does the passage recommend visitors to see first in the Kenya Lake System?

C. Colorful flamingos. D. Luxurious cabins.
3. What can visitors do in the Great Rift Valley?

C. Admiring beautiful artworks. D. Enjoying Kenyan coffee.

Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is known for his humorous and fantastic poetry for children, which has earned him numerous awards.
Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940. As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless. Instead, Prelutsky expressed his artistry through music, taking voice and piano lessons. While Prelutsky claims he got into poetry almost by accident, he also states that he was always a poet. It just took him some time to realize his love for poetry.
Prelutsky explored quite a few options before he found his niche in poetry. He was a folk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky also held a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a furniture mover, piano mover, taxicab driver, coal shoveler, fruit picker, truck driver and photographer, among other jobs.
At the age of 23, Prelutsky decided to try illustrating. Just before presenting his illustrations to a children’s book editor, he added a few lines of poetry to the pictures. The editor told him that the illustrations were not publishable but the poems showed the talent. Over the next months and years, Prelutsky worked with the editor to create a collection of animal poems inspired by his love of the Bronx Zoo. His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967.
In addition to writing, Prelutsky has edited various poetry collections and translated poetry from German and Swedish into English. He currently resides in Seattle, where he writes and performs his work. Prelutsky is considered one of the most popular children’s poets. His work pioneered a new era of children’s poetry. In 2006, the Poetry Foundation named Jack Prelutsky the first Children’s Poet Laureate, a position designed to promote poetry for children and raise awareness of the power and relevance of poetry for young people.
4. Why did Prelutsky dislike poetry in his early years?
A. It was too difficult. B. He wasn’t good at it.
C. He thought it meaningless. D. It took up too much of his time.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “niche” in paragraph 3?
A. Mistake. B. Dream C. Comprehension. D. Interest.
6. How old was Prelutsky when he published his first book?
A. 23. B. 27. C. 40. D. 66.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a poet. B. To attract poetry lovers.
C. To display some excellent poems. D. To encourage readers to write poems.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国著名的儿童诗歌诗人——Jack Prelutsky。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless.(当他还是个孩子的时候,他不喜欢诗歌,觉得它无聊又毫无意义)”可知,Jack Prelutsky早年不喜欢诗歌,因为他觉得诗歌无聊,没有意义。故选C。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940.( Jack Prelutsky于1940年出生在纽约布鲁克林)”和文章第四段“His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967.(他的第一本书《花园里的地鼠和其他动物诗歌》于1967年出版)”可知,他在27岁的时候出版了他的第一本著作。故选B。

C
A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
8. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B. encouraging words give us confidence
C. words have a great effect on us
D. negative words may let us down
9. There is no need for us to feel ashamed when we talk to ourselves because ________.
A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone
C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D. talking to ourselves can have a positive effect on us
10. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely ________.
A. remind ourselves B. praise ourselves
C. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves happiness
11. The author would probably hold the view that ________.
A. it is better to think twice before talking to others
B. negative words may stimulate us to make more progress
C. people tend to remember friendly words
D. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述说出来的话对我们有持久的影响。自言自语对我们是有好处的以及要怎样自言自语和我们说话前要三思。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. (语言的力量可以鼓舞我们,也可以让我们崩溃。不管这些话是别人说的还是我们自己说的,积极和消极的影响都是一样持久的。)”可知,言语对我们有很大的影响。选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit (但我们通常羞于承认这一点。事实上,我们真的不应该害怕,因为越来越多的专家认为大声自言自语是一种健康的习惯)”可知,专家认为自言自语对我们是有好处的。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!” (下次当你完成一个项目,在考试中取得好成绩,或者终于打扫你的房间时,和我一起说“干得好!”)”可知,做一件成功的事情,和自己说“干得好!”我们应该表扬自己,划线处含义为表扬自己。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid. (在说话之前,我们应该问自己:这是爱吗?需要吗?如果我们想说的话通过不了这个考验,那还是不说为好)”可知,作者认为我们说话前要三思。故选A。
D
WHY SHENNONGJIA?
As we know, in 2016, Shennongjia made it on to the UNESCO World Heritage List. But there are so many important places not yet on this list. So you might ask: why Shennongjia?
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. It contains a naturally-balanced environment that allows the many and various species to live and prosper. It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.
For the first criterion, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 metres to over 3, 000 metres above sealevel, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”.
For the second criterion, we can see that Shennongjia has incredible biodiversity. Look at this slide. According to official statistics, over 3, 000 plant species have been recorded there. This represents more than ten percent of China’s total floral richness.
It is a challenge to look after so many species. In winter, scientists brave heavy snow and freezing temperatures to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. Thanks to their efforts, the monkey’s population has doubled since the 1980s.Their number reached over 1, 300 in 2015 and continues to grow.
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people, who take things from nature without causing damage. I visited a local village which is known for its home-made honey. What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee. All of this explains why Shennongjia earned—and deserves—its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
12. Why is Shennongjia included in the UNESCO World Heritage List?
A. Because its forests stretch on and on like great green seas.
B. Because it is the legendary father of Chinese herbal medicine.
C. Because it satisfies the two requirements for the status.
D. Because it has the mysterious creature called “Yeren”.
13. Shennongjia is also called the“ ”.
A. Roof of Central China B. Roof of Northern China
C. Roof of Eastern China D. Roof of Southern China
14. How does the author think of the scientists in Shennongjia?
A. Patient. B. Careful. C. Confident. D. Hard-working.
15. According to the text, what impressed the author most?
A. A local village. B. The local people.
C. Some special monkeys. D. The wild bees.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神农架被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. (联合国教科文组织授予神农架这一地位,是因为它满足了名录所要求的两个标准。)”可知,联合国教科文组织将神农架授予这一地位,因为它符合清单所要求的两个标准。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”(因此被称为“华中屋脊”)”可知,该地区被誉为“华中屋脊”。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“It is a challenge to look after so many species. In winter, scientists brave heavy snow and freezing temperatures to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. (照顾这么多的物种是一项挑战。在冬天,科学家们冒着大雪和寒冷的气温为金丝猴提供食物。)”可推断,作者认为照顾如此多的物种的科学家们是努力的、辛苦的。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people (但神农架最令人印象深刻的是当地人)”可知,神农架最令人印象深刻的方面是当地人。故选B。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项“选项中有两项为多杂选项。
Food plays an essential role in our lives and rightfully so: The food we eat is related to our culture. ___16___. Don’t believe me? Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture:
___17___
It doesn’t matter where you’re from-you have to eat. Your social culture most likely developed from the need to eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many early civilizations organized themselves in ways that promoted food distribution and production. That also meant that the animals, land and resources you were near governed what you’d consume and how you’d prepare and cook it.
Food preservation techniques are unique to climates and lifestyles.
Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world? ___18___. In Morocco, if preserved correctly, Khlea, a dish, is still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes much sense in Morocco, which has had a strong nomadic(游牧的)population, desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
The main local cuisines illustrate historical eating patterns.
Some societies have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant-based. India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far north, to spectacular fish delicacies in the east, to rice-based vegetarian diets in the south. ___19___.
Food tourism.
___20___. A food tourist won’t just focus on having a pint at Oktoberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making process, and possibly how they can make their own fresh beer. Since their interest in food is more than meal deep, the tourists have the chance to learn local preparation techniques that can lead to other aspects of a particular region’s culture.
A. Food affects the civilization
B Food is a universal necessity
C. And the western part is home to strict vegetarians
D. Some people have a trip just for enjoying the food
E. It has to do with local resources, needs, and climates
F. You can learn much about a particular culture by exploring their food
G. Some people have taken the combination of food and culture to a new level
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. E 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么食物是了解文化的最佳方式。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Food plays an essential role in our lives and rightfully so: The food we eat is related to our culture.(食物在我们的生活中扮演着至关重要的角色,因此:我们吃的食物与我们的文化有关)”和下文“Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture:(以下是为什么食物是了解一种文化的最佳方式)”可知,我们吃的食物和我们的文化有关,且下文介绍了为什么食物是了解文化的最佳方式。由此可知,我们可以通过食物探索文化。F项“You can learn much about a particular culture by exploring their food(你可以通过探索他们的食物来了解一个特定的文化)”符合题意,承上启下。故选F。
【17题详解】
空处为本段小标题。根据下文“It doesn’t matter where you’re from-you have to eat. Your social culture most likely developed from the need to eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many early civilizations organized themselves in ways that promoted food distribution and production. That also meant that the animals, land and resources you were near governed what you’d consume and how you’d prepare and cook it.(你来自哪里并不重要——你必须吃东西。你的社会文化很可能是从吃的需求发展而来的。一旦他们超越了狩猎和采集,许多早期文明就以促进食物分配和生产的方式组织起来。这也意味着你周围的动物、土地和资源决定了你吃什么,以及你如何准备和烹饪)”可知,食物是必须的,无论你来自哪儿以及何种种社会形态。B项“Food is a universal necessity(食物是普遍的必需品)”符合本段主旨。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world?(有没有想过为什么世界各地保存肉类的过程如此不同?)”可知,上文提出保存肉类过程为什么不同的问题。由此推知,空处应对该问题做出回答。E项“It has to do with local resources, needs, and climates(这与当地的资源、需求和气候有关)”符合题意,对上文问题进行回答。故选E。
【19题详解】
空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文“India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far north, to spectacular fish delicacies in the east, to rice-based vegetarian diets in the south.(印度的烹饪因地区而异,在遥远的北方以肉和小麦为主,在东部以美味的鱼类为主,在南部则以米饭为主的素食)”可是,上文陈述了印度南、北、东部烹饪的特点。由此推知,下文应陈述印度西部的烹饪或饮食特点。C项“And the western part is home to strict vegetarians(而西部则是严格素食主义者的家园)”符合题意。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据下文“A food tourist won’t just focus on having a pint at Oktoberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making process, and possibly how they can make their own fresh beer. (美食游客不会只关注在啤酒节上喝上一品脱,他们还会对了解德国啤酒的制作过程感兴趣,可能还会对他们如何制作自己的新鲜啤酒感兴趣)”可知,美食游客不仅对当地美食感兴趣,还对美食的制作,以及自己如何制作当地美食感兴趣。由此可知,美食游客把食物和文化的联系提到的一个新的高度。G项“Some people have taken the combination of food and culture to a new level(有些人把食物和文化的结合提升到了一个新的高度)”符合题意。故选G。

The Adventurous Tour
It was a perfect hot summer day. The sky was as blue as the ocean with white soft clouds floating like cotton candy. Tom, Sam, Jack and Ron were very excited. They were best friends and were going sailing that day. Tom’s dad gave them a boat named Flying Ranger which they liked very much. Their mothers packed some delicious snacks and juice for their journey. They were like kids in a candy store and waited eagerly to set sail and begin their adventure.
They joyfully began their journey. Their boat was sailing swiftly in the wind. They saw big white birds flying overhead. Their cries echoed(回响) in the clear summer sky. The sea was calm, with small waves gently swaying. The boys joked and laughed as they controlled the boat, feeling the freedom of the open sea.
“Oh, no! Look at that large shark. It is coming towards us! Help!” Suddenly, Jack screamed. They couldn’t immediately grasp what was going on. By the time they tried to turn the boat in the other direction, it was too late. The shark bit their boat and it started sinking slowly. They jumped into the water and shivered like leaves. They shouted, “Help!” But there was no one around. Fortunately, the shark also left with the boat sinking.
Finally, they swam and reached the shore of an island. The island was vast with white sand and tall coconut trees standing like bodyguards. The boys were happily exploring the place. All of a sudden, an enormous black scorpion(蝎子) appeared. The boys were shocked and their mouths fell open. The scorpion was as huge as an elephant and looked like a big monster with its sharp nails. The big scorpion started advancing towards them. The boys were frightened and began to run for their lives. They ran as fast as deer and took shelter in an old cave.

【答案】The cave was dark and dusty, but the boys had no choice. When they went in, Sam shouted, “Wow! Get in here!” They opened their eyes wide and saw this incredible cave in front of them. There were simple furnishings, including pots and pans, and a simple bed made of dead branches. This could be a temporary shelter. The boys were happy, but they were also frustrated and depressed because they were lost on that island.
Meanwhile, the parents were anxiously looking for their children. Fortunately, accompanied by local police, they found the Flying Ranger. So they searched in all possible directions. After three days and night s of searching, they arrived on that isolated island. They saw their children struggling to build a fire for food. The children were overjoyed to see their parents approaching them. After the adventure, they were rescued and returned home.

时间100分钟总分120分
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共 15 小题:每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Do you want to see majestic lions roaring, rare rhinos running and colorful birds flying? You’ll find this incredible display of nature in the Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley.
First stop
Fly into Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This great city is known for its fashion markets and beautiful art. And be sure to pick up some rich Kenyan coffee while you’re there! Then head for the countryside.
Plan your trip
The largest of the three lakes in the system, Lake Nakuru, is less than 175 kilometers from Nairobi. But Lakes Bogoria and Elementaita are equally worth a visit. You can stay at one of several choices of luxurious cabins in the valley. And if you sign up for a trip, be sure to put flamingos, the white and pink birds, at the top of your list.
Paradise
The Kenya Lake System is shallow and alkaline (碱性的). That means it supports vegetation such as green algae, a food source for many waterfowl. Hundreds of species of birds flourish here, using this area as a major breeding and nesting ground. Water buffalo, leopards, monkeys and the endangered Rothschild giraffe also make this area their home.
Other sights
Wildlife isn’t the only natural wonder in the Great Rift Valley. The valley marks a place where the earth is divided far below the surface. This rock separation belowground leads to noticeable features aboveground. Walking around Lake Bogoria especially, you will see steam rising from hot springs.
Other activities include golfing horseback riding and hiking. The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, either. The river valley is far from city lights, so many visitors gaze at the stars shining above.
If you are ready for a wildlife experience, don’t hesitate!
1. What is Nairobi famous for?
A. Coffee markets. B. Beautiful fashion shows.
C. Fashion markets. D. Great artists.
2. Which does the passage recommend visitors to see first in the Kenya Lake System?
A. Majestic lions. B. Rare rhinos.
C. Colorful flamingos. D. Luxurious cabins.
3. What can visitors do in the Great Rift Valley?
A. Horseback riding and hiking. B. Shopping for fashionable clothes.
C. Admiring beautiful artworks. D. Enjoying Kenyan coffee.
B
Jack Prelutsky is an American poet. He is known for his humorous and fantastic poetry for children, which has earned him numerous awards.
Jack Prelutsky was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940. As a child, he did not enjoy poetry, finding it boring and pointless. Instead, Prelutsky expressed his artistry through music, taking voice and piano lessons. While Prelutsky claims he got into poetry almost by accident, he also states that he was always a poet. It just took him some time to realize his love for poetry.
Prelutsky explored quite a few options before he found his niche in poetry. He was a folk singer and guitar teacher in Greenwich Village in his late teens and early twenties. Prelutsky also held a variety of odd jobs. He worked as a furniture mover, piano mover, taxicab driver, coal shoveler, fruit picker, truck driver and photographer, among other jobs.
At the age of 23, Prelutsky decided to try illustrating. Just before presenting his illustrations to a children’s book editor, he added a few lines of poetry to the pictures. The editor told him that the illustrations were not publishable but the poems showed the talent. Over the next months and years, Prelutsky worked with the editor to create a collection of animal poems inspired by his love of the Bronx Zoo. His first book, entitled A Gopher in the Garden and Other Animal Poems, was published in 1967.
In addition to writing, Prelutsky has edited various poetry collections and translated poetry from German and Swedish into English. He currently resides in Seattle, where he writes and performs his work. Prelutsky is considered one of the most popular children’s poets. His work pioneered a new era of children’s poetry. In 2006, the Poetry Foundation named Jack Prelutsky the first Children’s Poet Laureate, a position designed to promote poetry for children and raise awareness of the power and relevance of poetry for young people.
4. Why did Prelutsky dislike poetry in his early years?
A. It was too difficult. B. He wasn’t good at it.
C. He thought it meaningless. D. It took up too much of his time.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “niche” in paragraph 3?
A. Mistake. B. Dream C. Comprehension. D. Interest.
6. How old was Prelutsky when he published his first book?
A. 23. B. 27. C. 40. D. 66.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a poet. B. To attract poetry lovers.
C. To display some excellent poems. D. To encourage readers to write poems.
C
A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
8. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.
A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us
B. encouraging words give us confidence
C. words have a great effect on us
D. negative words may let us down
9. There is no need for us to feel ashamed when we talk to ourselves because ________.
A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves
B. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone
C. talking to ourselves always gives us courage
D. talking to ourselves can have a positive effect on us
10. The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely ________.
A. remind ourselves B. praise ourselves
C. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves happiness
11. The author would probably hold the view that ________.
A. it is better to think twice before talking to others
B. negative words may stimulate us to make more progress
C. people tend to remember friendly words
D. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers
D
WHY SHENNONGJIA?
As we know, in 2016, Shennongjia made it on to the UNESCO World Heritage List. But there are so many important places not yet on this list. So you might ask: why Shennongjia?
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. It contains a naturally-balanced environment that allows the many and various species to live and prosper. It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.
For the first criterion, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 metres to over 3, 000 metres above sealevel, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”.
For the second criterion, we can see that Shennongjia has incredible biodiversity. Look at this slide. According to official statistics, over 3, 000 plant species have been recorded there. This represents more than ten percent of China’s total floral richness.
It is a challenge to look after so many species. In winter, scientists brave heavy snow and freezing temperatures to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. Thanks to their efforts, the monkey’s population has doubled since the 1980s.Their number reached over 1, 300 in 2015 and continues to grow.
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people, who take things from nature without causing damage. I visited a local village which is known for its home-made honey. What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee. All of this explains why Shennongjia earned—and deserves—its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
12. Why is Shennongjia included in the UNESCO World Heritage List?
A. Because its forests stretch on and on like great green seas.
B. Because it is the legendary father of Chinese herbal medicine.
C. Because it satisfies the two requirements for the status.
D. Because it has the mysterious creature called “Yeren”.
13. Shennongjia is also called the“ ”.
A Roof of Central China B. Roof of Northern China
C Roof of Eastern China D. Roof of Southern China
14. How does the author think of the scientists in Shennongjia?
A. Patient. B. Careful. C. Confident. D. Hard-working.
15. According to the text, what impressed the author most?
A. A local village. B. The local people.
C. Some special monkeys. D. The wild bees.
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项“选项中有两项为多杂选项。
Food plays an essential role in our lives and rightfully so: The food we eat is related to our culture. ___16___. Don’t believe me? Here’s why food is the best way to understand a culture:
___17___
It doesn’t matter where you’re from-you have to eat. Your social culture most likely developed from the need to eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many early civilizations organized themselves in ways that promoted food distribution and production. That also meant that the animals, land and resources you were near governed what you’d consume and how you’d prepare and cook it.
Food preservation techniques are unique to climates and lifestyles.
Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world? ___18___. In Morocco, if preserved correctly, Khlea, a dish, is still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes much sense in Morocco, which has had a strong nomadic(游牧的)population, desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.
The main local cuisines illustrate historical eating patterns.
Some societies have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant-based. India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far north, to spectacular fish delicacies in the east, to rice-based vegetarian diets in the south. ___19___.
Food tourism.
___20___. A food tourist won’t just focus on having a pint at Oktoberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making process, and possibly how they can make their own fresh beer. Since their interest in food is more than meal deep, the tourists have the chance to learn local preparation techniques that can lead to other aspects of a particular region’s culture.
A. Food affects the civilization
B. Food is a universal necessity
C. And the western part is home to strict vegetarians
D. Some people have a trip just for enjoying the food
E. It has to do with local resources, needs, and climates
F. You can learn much about a particular culture by exploring their food
G. Some people have taken the combination of food and culture to a new level

Compassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into ____21____. An experience last weekend showed me this is ____22____. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the ____23____. These old people are our main ____24____, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman taught me a valuable ____25____. The man walked up with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash and asked if we could let him have the food on ____26____. He promised to ____27____ me the next day.
I couldn’t ____28____ staring at him. I wondered what he would be like if ____29____ had gone his way. I had a ____30____ in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and ____31____ saying this, but I ____32____ my job.
Just then, another old man, standing behind the first, spoke up: “____33____ it to me.”
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not ____34____ either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because the second men had reached into my heart and ____35____ me compassion.
