(对于健康之旅，从丹佛开始，经过Pagosa Springs到Steamboat Springs的720英里的科罗拉多历史温泉环路，突出了17个目的地...)”可知，Pagosa Springs是科罗拉多州的一个地点，因此正确答案是In Colorado。故选 C 项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句话“ Helena, Montana’s laid-back capital, is often overlooked. But its location, at 3, 875 feet of elevation on the eastern slope (斜坡) of the Continental Divide, makes it a mountain biker’s dream.  (海伦娜是蒙大拿州的首府，一个悠闲自在的地方，却常常被人们忽视。但是，它位于大陆分水岭东侧的斜坡上，海拔3875英尺，是山地自行车骑行者的梦想之地。)”可知，这句话描述了Helena是山地自行车骑行者的梦想之地，说明它的特色便是山地骑行，故选 A 项。 B Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape, they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁) . She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds. In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds. 4. Which saying can best show the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. It is better to give than to take. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Helping others is helping ourselves. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. 5. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Expect. B. Refuse. C. Accept. D. Recognize 6. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed? A. When her friends heard about her success. B. When she was considered as a bird expert. C. After she shared the birds’ videos on the media. D. After she looked after a large number of the birds. 7. According to the text, Catia can be described as ________. A. honest and kind B. generous and creative C. devoted and strict D. caring and responsible 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的Catia Lattouf de Arida作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者，她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟恢复健康上。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. (作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者，她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟恢复健康上。)”和第二段中“She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.(她设法护理古奇恢复健康，但她说是古奇救了她。为什么？因为蜂鸟成功地将她从占据她生活的悲伤和孤独中拉了出来。)”可知，Catia Lattouf de Arida救了蜂鸟，同时蜂鸟也把她从悲伤和孤独中拯救出来，由此可知，帮助别人就是在帮助我们自己，故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds.(她成功的消息在卡蒂亚的朋友们中传开，不久之后，他们中的一些人开始给她带来受伤的蜂鸟。)”和下文“She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.(为了更好地照顾它们，她开始研究蜂鸟和它们的习性，经过11年的经验，这位73岁的女士被认为是蜂鸟方面的专家)”可知，一些人给她带来受伤的蜂鸟，她应该是没有拒绝他们，接受了这些蜂鸟，因为下文提到她照顾这些蜂鸟，并开始研究它们的习性；由此可知，划线单词意为“拒绝”，与B项“Refuse. (拒绝)”意思一样，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. (为了提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识，卡蒂亚·拉图夫·德·阿里达开始在社交媒体上发布她在墨西哥城公寓中照顾这些蜂鸟的视频，其中许多视频广受欢迎。就在那时，对她的护理服务的需求真正爆发了。)”可知，在媒体上分享了这些鸟的视频后，Catia的护理服务量急剧增加，故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. (这就是73岁的卡蒂亚·拉图夫·德·阿里达 (Catia Lattouf de Arida) 发挥作用的地方。作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者，她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟恢复健康上。)”可知，Catia很有爱心，根据最后一段中“In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. (为了提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识，卡蒂亚·拉图夫·德·阿里达开始在社交媒体上发布她在墨西哥城公寓中照顾这些蜂鸟的视频，其中许多视频广受欢迎。)”可知，她致力于提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识，这说明她很有责任心，故选D。 C In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei, 26, who now works as a flight instructor at the Air Force Aviation University. In 2015, Wei was admitted into the Air Force Aviation University and became an Air Force pilot student. According to Wei, pilots need to not only study aviation theory but also practice difficult aerobatics (飞行特技) like rolls and loops. These moves require strong resistance to g-forces. “To do a loop, a pilot has to bear about 3g of load, which feels like three times their body weight pressing down on them,” said Wei. To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats. They also use special equipment like a spinning ladder (旋梯) to overcome dizziness. Despite all the training, becoming a top PLA Air Force pilot remains a tough job. “During flight, pilots must carefully decide how to land, especially at night, and maintain position during formation flight,” explained Wei. He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice. In the world of aviation, a balanced mindset and quick thinking are very important. One of Wei’s most unforgettable experiences was dealing with illusions (错觉) during a formation fight up above the clouds. All he could see in front of him was the lead aircraft and clouds. “I felt like I was turning all the time, but my instruments showed that my flight was level,” said Wei. “In such situations, trusting instruments is key to making sound decisions.” But what always remains constant is the great sense of freedom and pride that Wei feels as he flies his aircraft in the sky and looks down at Earth from above. Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.” 8. What inspired Wei Fangjie to pursue a career as a pilot? A. Meeting a flight instructor at school. B. His deep interest in aviation technology. C. Advice from a high school career advisor. D. Seeing a poster wanting PLA Air Force pilots. 9. How do pilots develop resistance to g-forces? A. By practicing aerobatics. B. By getting rid of dizziness. C. By flying with a spinning ladder. D. By doing strength-building exercises. 10. What is the key to mastering flying skills, according to Wei? A. Quick thinking. B. Frequent training. C. A balanced mindset. D. Overcoming illusions. 11. What is Wei’s current goal as a fight instructor? A. Training a new generation of skilled pilots. B. Flying his aircraft with a sense of freedom. C. Encouraging more young people to become pilots. D. Contributing to the development of aviation theory. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Wei Fangjie通过不懈的努力和训练，成长为一名经验丰富的中国人民解放军空军飞行员的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei(在高三的时候，Wei Fangjie偶然看到了一张招募空军飞行员的海报。Wei说：“海报上的飞行员看起来真的很酷，我知道飞行员是一种勇敢的职业。所以，我决定试一试。”)”可知，激励Wei Fangjie成为飞行员的是他看到了一张招聘中国人民解放军飞行员的海报。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats.(为了增强这种抵抗力，他们经常做力量训练，比如负重深蹲。)”可知，飞行员通过力量训练来增强对重力的抵抗力。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice.(他补充说，这些技能的关键在于不断的练习。)”可知，Wei Fangjie认为掌握飞行技能的关键是不断的训练。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.”(作为一名经验丰富的飞行教练，Wei希望将他对航空的热情投入到“培养和发展新一代熟练飞行员，为中国空军的战备做出贡献”中去。)”可知，Wei Fangjie当前的目标是培养新一代的熟练飞行员。故选A。 D Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the nature of our humanity? To put it in a simple way, people consider two completely different views of humanity. The first view is about dominance (统治) and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ key nature is more aggressive (好斗的) than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are giving up their well-being as they offer kindness to others, who might then take advantage of them. The second view focuses on the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a mode of social harmony? From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the rebuilding of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are keeping away accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical view, that of Aristotle, we see the difference between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capbility to forgive, but instead with the potential (潜能) to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual behavior in unfriendly situations, develops with practice. 12. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness? A. People should offer kindness to others. B. People who forgive can have their own well-being affected. C. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D. Aggressive people should learn to forgive. 13. What does the example in Paragraph 2 display? A. To forgive is to love. B. To fight is to grow. C. To give is to receive. D. To dominate is to harm. 14. Which of the following might the writer NOT agree with? A. Forgiveness can help us stay calm and find inner peace. B. Improved relationship can be one of results from forgiveness. C. Forgiveness is vital to the biological and physical integrity of humans. D. The people accepting your forgiveness may likely make possible changes. 15. What is message of the last paragraph? A. Forgiveness is in our nature. B. Forgiveness grows with time. C. Actuality is based on potentiality. D. It takes practice to forgive. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了宽恕是否与人性的本质相悖。一种观点认为人性倾向于攻击和支配，宽恕者可能因此受伤。另一种观点则强调人性中的合作、爱和尊重，认为宽恕对于个人和社区的健康和谐至关重要。文章还指出，宽恕能力可以通过学习和实践来培养。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are giving up their well-being as they offer kindness to others, who might then take advantage of them. (那些宽恕的人违背了他们的本性，对他们造成了很大的伤害。在他看来，宽恕者放弃了自己的幸福，因为他们对别人友善，而别人可能会利用他们)”可知，Droll认为宽恕他人的人会影响到自己的幸福。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a mode of social harmony? (甚至常识也强烈表明，控制他人的意愿并不会促成和谐的互动。例如，奴隶制作为社会和谐的一种模式发挥了多大的作用呢)”可知，奴隶制无益于促进社会和谐，由此可知，这个例子是为了表明控制意味着伤害。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the rebuilding of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are keeping away accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. (从作为人类的第二种观点来看，宽恕在个人和社区的生理和心理完整性方面都起着关键作用，因为科学研究表明，宽恕的结果之一是减少仇恨，重建和谐。宽恕可以打破愤怒的循环。至少在某种程度上，那些被你拒之门外的人接受了你的爱和宽恕，并准备做出必要的调整。宽恕可以治愈人际关系，重新连接人际关系)”可知，作者认为宽恕可以帮助我们保持冷静，找到内心的平静，可以改善关系，而且接受宽恕的人可能会做出可能的改变。但作者认可的是宽恕对人类的生理和生理完整性很关键，而非至关重要。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical view, that of Aristotle, we see the difference between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capbility to forgive, but instead with the potential (潜能) to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual behavior in unfriendly situations, develops with practice. (值得注意的是，当我们从古典哲学的观点，即亚里士多德的观点出发时，我们看到了潜在性和现实性之间的区别。我们不一定天生就有宽恕的能力，但我们有潜力去学习宽恕，并在宽恕的能力中成长。宽恕的现实性，即在不友好的情况下的实际行为，是随着实践而发展的)”可知，本段指出宽恕的潜在性和现实性之间存在区别，宽恕是需要练习的，其能力在实践中发展。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The History of the Automobile The automobile, more commonly known as the car, certainly counts as one of the greatest inventions in human history. ____16____ As to who invented the automobile, the answer is not quite so clear-cut. While some give credit to Karl Benz, who patented the first gas-powered vehicle in 1886, others give the praise to Gottlieb Daimelr. Incidentally, the two inventors’ companies merge (合 并) in 1926 to form the famous Mercedes-Benz. ____17____ It was Henry Ford who designed a system of mass production that allowed him to produce cars far more cheaply, which in turn meant he could sell them at lower prices. By 1927, 15 million of Ford’s famous all-black Model Ts had been produced. Mass car ownership had become a reality. ____18____ Inventors were working on electric vehicles around the same time that gas-powered ones were being developed. The first electric car was designed in 1884 by Thomas Parker, the same man who electrified the London Underground. By 1900, electric vehicles were giving gas cars a run for their money. They were quiet, did not give off emissions, and were easier to drive, especially for women. ____19____ They were difficult to charge when most people’s homes didn’t have electricity. They were also rather expensive. In the end, Henry Ford’s cheap Model T put an end to interest in electric cars which didn’t become popular until the gas shortages and environmental concerns of the late 20th century. Now, early in the 21st century, we find ourselves on the brink of yet another age in automobile history. Electric cars are set to make the gas-guzzler (油 老 虎) out of date. ____20____ Benz, Daimler and Parker would surely be amazed by how far their dreams have come. A. But why were early electric cars not popular? B. However, they weren’t without shortcomings. C. They were also popular in European countries. D. It allows people to travel great distances quickly, safely and cheaply. E And self-driving cars may soon make human drivers a thing of the past. F. At first, European models were far too expensive for most people to buy. G. Many people think of electric vehicles as a new invention, but actually that’s not the case. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了汽车的历史。 【16题详解】 由上文“The automobile, more commonly known as the car, certainly counts as one of the greatest inventions in human history. (automobile，俗称汽车，当然是人类历史上最伟大的发明之一)”可知，本空要说跟“为什么是最伟大的发明之一”有关的话题，故D选项“It allows people to travel great distances quickly, safely and cheaply. (它使人们能够快速、安全、廉价地长途旅行)”能承接上文，简要介召汽车的优点，即解释前一句为什么汽车是最伟大的发明之一，符合题意。 故选D。 【17题详解】 由下文“It was Henry Ford who designed a system of mass production that allowed him to produce cars far more cheaply, which in turn meant he could sell them at lower prices. (正是亨利·福特设计了一套大规模生产系统，使他能够以更低的成本生产汽车，这反过来意味着他可以以更低的价格销售汽车)”可知，本空要说跟“价格”有关的话题，故F选项“At first, European models were far too expensive for most people to buy. (起初，欧洲车型太贵了，大多数人都买不起)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选F。 【18题详解】 由下文“Inventors were working on electric vehicles around the same time that gas-powered ones were being developed. The first electric car was designed in 1884 by Thomas Parker, the same man who electrified the London Underground. (在研发汽油动力汽车的同时，发明家们也在研发电动汽车。第一辆电动汽车是由托马斯·帕克于1884年设计的，他也是伦敦地铁电气化的发明者)”可知，本空要说跟“电动汽车时间”有关的话题，故G选项“Many people think of electric vehicles as a new invention, but actually that’s not the case. (许多人认为电动汽车是一项新发明，但事实并非如此)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 由下文“They were also rather expensive. (它们也相当昂贵)”可知，这是电动汽车的缺点，故B选项“However, they weren’t without shortcomings. (然而，它们并非没有缺点)”能引起下文，符合题意。 【20题详解】 由上文“Now, early in the 21st century, we find ourselves on the brink of yet another age in automobile history. Electric cars are set to make the gas-guzzler (油老虎) out of date. (现在，在21世纪初，我们发现自己正处于汽车历史上另一个时代的边缘。电动汽车将使耗油量大的汽车过时)”可知，本空要说跟“汽车发展”有关的话题，故E选项“And self-driving cars may soon make human drivers a thing of the past.(自动驾驶汽车可能很快就会让人类司机成为过去)”能承接上文，符合题意。本题前一句说电动车将会使得燃油汽车退出历史舞台。本空继续展望未来，无人驾 驶车辆将很快取代人员驾驶。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) 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入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Hannah, a brave girl, lived in a small village in a land far away.

They made their living by selling the produce from their garden at the market. Each day, Sumiko carefully watered plants and pretended they were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers. In her heart, she wanted to grow chrysanthemums. “Foolish girl!” her mother lectured. “Flowers can’t be eaten!” “But Mum, people buy flowers.” “City people. No one in our poor village wastes money.” Sumiko knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Higaki. Every year she won first prize at the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. Many people whispered that Mrs. Higaki used magic to grow her chrysanthemums. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row? Sumiko admired Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But chrysanthemums were expensive to start, and Sumiko could only dream about growing them. One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki’s garden.“Mrs. Higaki, I wish I could grow beautiful chrysanthemums and win a prize like you,” said Sumiko. “You! Win a prize growing flowers?”Mrs. Higaki laughed. “Do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret to growing them has been passed down to me from past generations of my family. And you-a child-believe you can compete against me? Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.” Mrs. Higaki returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Sumiko’s face. Then she pulled up a plant. “What’s that?” Sumiko asked. “A plant in poor condition -a waste of my time,”Mrs. Higaki said, throwing the plant into the field beside the garden. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.开头已给出。 Sumiko smiled before she had an idea. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sumiko got up early on the morning of the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Sumiko smiled before she had an idea. She asked for Higaki’s permission to have that plant, dashed back home, and grew it behind the cottage. She leaned close to the hanging leaves and whispered, “Grow, little flower. You don’t have to win a prize. Just grow.” She took care of her plant every morning and evening.“You are my beautiful plant,”Amy would sing softly, as she weeded and watered it.“Someday, you will bloom prettier than any flower at the festival.”Each time Amy visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller. Time seemed to fly by as the festival neared. Sumiko got up early on the morning of the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. When Amy visited her plant again, she screamed with delight. Her plant was in full bloom! It was the most beautiful rainbow chrysanthemums Amy had ever seen. Mrs. Higaki, who was passing by with flowers for the festival, stopped to see what the excitement was. Her mouth dropped open seeing the brilliant chrysanthemums. She never thought that the weak plant she threw away should have grown to be so remarkable. “It’s plain to see you will win a prize this year.” Mrs. Higaki sighed. And off they went to the festival. Finally, Amy's chrysanthemums won first prize as Mrs. Higaki had predicted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了 Amy 每天都帮妈妈在菜园里照顾蔬菜，但她很羡慕村里的Higaki 夫人， Higaki 夫人种的菊花每年都在菊花节上获得一等奖，她希望能够像 Higaki 夫人一样种出美丽的菊花，但Higaki夫人说种菊花的秘密是家传的， Amy 种好蔬菜才是务实的选择。在得到 Higaki夫人的允许后， Amy 捡走了Higaki夫人淘汰掉的一株菊花，悉心照料。后来这株菊花开出了美丽的花， Amy 在菊花节上获得了一等奖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Sumiko笑了，然后她有了一个想法。”可知，第一段可描写Sumiko细心照料植物，虽然它不像是一株菊花，但Sumiko 并没有放弃，她继续用爱和耐心去照顾它 ②由第二段首句内容“在京都菊花节的早晨，Sumiko起得很早”可知，第二段可描写描写 Amy 种的菊花绽放出美丽的花朵， Higaki夫人看到后预测她会获奖以及最终获奖。 2.续写线索：细心照料——开出美丽的花朵——Higaki夫人预测——获得一等奖 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①照顾：take care of /look after ②接近：near/approach ③停止：stop /pause ④拜访：visit/pay a visit to 情绪类 ①高兴：delight/joy ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1]Each time Amy visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller.

That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁) . She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why? Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life. Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds. In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds. 4. Which saying can best show the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. It is better to give than to take. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Helping others is helping ourselves. D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. 5. What does the underlined word “repulse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Expect. B. Refuse. C. Accept. D. Recognize 6. When were Catia’s nursing services greatly needed? A. When her friends heard about her success. B. When she was considered as a bird expert. C. After she shared the birds’ videos on the media. D. After she looked after a large number of the birds. 7. According to the text, Catia can be described as ________. A. honest and kind B. generous and creative C. devoted and strict D. caring and responsible C In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei, 26, who now works as a flight instructor at the Air Force Aviation University. In 2015, Wei was admitted into the Air Force Aviation University and became an Air Force pilot student. According to Wei, pilots need to not only study aviation theory but also practice difficult aerobatics (飞行特技) like rolls and loops. These moves require strong resistance to g-forces. “To do a loop, a pilot has to bear about 3g of load, which feels like three times their body weight pressing down on them,” said Wei. To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats. They also use special equipment like a spinning ladder (旋梯) to overcome dizziness. Despite all the training, becoming a top PLA Air Force pilot remains a tough job. “During flight, pilots must carefully decide how to land, especially at night, and maintain position during formation flight,” explained Wei. He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice. In the world of aviation, a balanced mindset and quick thinking are very important. One of Wei’s most unforgettable experiences was dealing with illusions (错觉) during a formation fight up above the clouds. All he could see in front of him was the lead aircraft and clouds. “I felt like I was turning all the time, but my instruments showed that my flight was level,” said Wei. “In such situations, trusting instruments is key to making sound decisions.” But what always remains constant is the great sense of freedom and pride that Wei feels as he flies his aircraft in the sky and looks down at Earth from above. Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.” 8. What inspired Wei Fangjie to pursue a career as a pilot? A. Meeting a flight instructor at school. B. His deep interest in aviation technology. C. Advice from a high school career advisor. D. Seeing a poster wanting PLA Air Force pilots. 9. How do pilots develop resistance to g-forces? A. By practicing aerobatics. B. By getting rid of dizziness. C. By flying with a spinning ladder. D. By doing strength-building exercises. 10. What is the key to mastering flying skills, according to Wei? A. Quick thinking. B. Frequent training. C. A balanced mindset. D. Overcoming illusions. 11. What is Wei’s current goal as a fight instructor? A. Training a new generation of skilled pilots. B. Flying his aircraft with a sense of freedom. C. Encouraging more young people to become pilots. D. Contributing to the development of aviation theory. D Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the nature of our humanity? To put it in a simple way, people consider two completely different views of humanity. The first view is about dominance (统治) and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ key nature is more aggressive (好斗的) than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are giving up their well-being as they offer kindness to others, who might then take advantage of them. The second view focuses on the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a mode of social harmony? From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the rebuilding of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are keeping away accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical view, that of Aristotle, we see the difference between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capbility to forgive, but instead with the potential (潜能) to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, its actual behavior in unfriendly situations, develops with practice. 12. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness? A. People should offer kindness to others. B. People who forgive can have their own well-being affected. C. Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity. D. Aggressive people should learn to forgive. 13. What does the example in Paragraph 2 display? A. To forgive is to love. B. To fight is to grow. C. To give is to receive. D. To dominate is to harm. 14. Which of the following might the writer NOT agree with? A. Forgiveness can help us stay calm and find inner peace. B. Improved relationship can be one of results from forgiveness. C. Forgiveness is vital to the biological and physical integrity of humans. D. The people accepting your forgiveness may likely make possible changes. 15. What is message of the last paragraph? A. Forgiveness is in our nature. B. Forgiveness grows with time. C. Actuality is based on potentiality. D. It takes practice to forgive. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The History of the Automobile The automobile, more commonly known as the car, certainly counts as one of the greatest inventions in human history. ____16____ As to who invented the automobile, the answer is not quite so clear-cut. While some give credit to Karl Benz, who patented the first gas-powered vehicle in 1886, others give the praise to Gottlieb Daimelr. Incidentally, the two inventors’ companies merge (合 并) in 1926 to form the famous Mercedes-Benz. ____17____ It was Henry Ford who designed a system of mass production that allowed him to produce cars far more cheaply, which in turn meant he could sell them at lower prices. By 1927, 15 million of Ford’s famous all-black Model Ts had been produced. Mass car ownership had become a reality. ____18____ Inventors were working on electric vehicles around the same time that gas-powered ones were being developed.

They made their living by selling the produce from their garden at the market. Each day, Sumiko carefully watered plants and pretended they were beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花), like Mrs. Higaki’s prize flowers. In her heart, she wanted to grow chrysanthemums. “Foolish girl!” her mother lectured. “Flowers can’t be eaten!” “But Mum, people buy flowers.” “City people No one in our poor village wastes money.” Sumiko knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Higaki. Every year she won first prize at the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. Many people whispered that Mrs. Higaki used magic to grow her chrysanthemums. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row? Sumiko admired Mrs. Higaki. If she could sell flowers like Mrs. Higaki, she would be able to buy things for her mother. But chrysanthemums were expensive to start, and Sumiko could only dream about growing them. One day, Sumiko visited Mrs. Higaki’s garden.“Mrs. Higaki, I wish I could grow beautiful chrysanthemums and win a prize like you,” said Sumiko. “You! Win a prize growing flowers?”Mrs. Higaki laughed. “Do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret to growing them has been passed down to me from past generations of my family. And you-a child-believe you can compete against me? Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.” Mrs. Higaki returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Sumiko’s face. Then she pulled up a plant. “What’s that?” Sumiko asked. “A plant in poor condition -a waste of my time,”Mrs. Higaki said, throwing the plant into the field beside the garden. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.开头已给出。 Sumiko smiled before she had an idea. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sumiko got up early on the morning of the Kyoto Chrysanthemum Festival. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.
