Text 1
M:These shoes seem nice. How much did you pay for them?
W:The shoes were a bargain. I got them for half price.
M:You mean you paid only 40 dollars for them? That's a big discount.
Text 2
M:Emma! What are you doing outside? Aren't you enjoying the party?
W:Parties aren't really my thing. I'll head home soon.
M:I will go back too. I've got a meeting tomorrow morning.
Text 3
M:Hello, Maria.
W:Hi, Mike. Are you having your breakfast?
M: No. I'm helping my dad move the furniture in my bedroom. Then we're going to paint the walls.
W:OK. I'll send you a text later. Have fun painting!
Text 4
M:Do you want to go to the concert this evening?
W:Yeah. We could go and eat something first.
M:All right. Why don't I wait for you outside the bookstore at about six?
W:OK.I'll meet you there when I finish work.Then we can look for a café before the concert.
Text 5
W:That's the first film I've seen with an interval. It was hard to work out what was happening and the break even made me forget the actors' names.
M:Indeed. They kept playing the same song, but it added to the atmosphere.
Text 6
W:How did your appointment go?
M:Yeah, fine. They didn't need to do anything.
W:Great! So your eyes are all OK then?
M:The sight test is next week, actually, Mum. I was having my teeth checked today.
W:Oh, yes. Your dad made the appointments this time, so I couldn't remember who you were seeing first. He should be back from the doctor's any minute.
M:So are you making the dinner tonight?
W:I am, and it's your favorite—noodles.
M:Great!
Text 7
W:Ben,did you see the program last night about the Olympic Games?It was brilliant.I learnt so much!
M:Did you?I thought it was quite boring.In fact,I'm not really interested in sports programs.
W: But you love sports. You play football and tennis and basketball and...
M:Yes, I enjoy playing sports, but I hate watching them on TV.
W:Oh, so what kind of TV programs do you like?
M:To be honest, I don't watch much TV. I prefer watching movies on my notebook computer.
Text 8
W:What do you think of the airport?
M:Well, it's far from downtown and when the traffic is bad, it can take an hour and a half to get there. The city really needs to build a new airport that is closer to the city.
W:Do you usually drive to the airport?
M:No. I usually take the airport bus. It's clean and comfortable, and it's a lot cheaper than driving because you don't have to pay for parking. But my wife prefers taking the subway.
W:Is there much to do there while you wait for your flight?
M:Sure.There are a couple of stores that sell souvenirs and magazines. There are also a couple of fast-food places and the service there is nice.
W:How long does it take to check in?
M: It doesn't take long. They're pretty efficient.
Text 9
W:Hey, Jack. Can I ask you something?
M:Sure, what's up?
W: Is something wrong with the system? I've been trying to get in for the past 10 minutes but it's been kicking me out.
M:It's all fine for me. What do you mean, “kicking you out” ?
W:I'm putting in my password and it tells me the system's offline. I've tried every single combination I can think of but nothing works.
M:That's strange.My computer's been fine. Have you tried calling IT?
W:I did, but no one picked up the phone.
M:Oh, right, they've got a meeting right now—but you can interrupt them if it's an emergency.
W:I know. I just didn't want to disturb others if it's something simple. Besides, I've got a couple of phone calls to make today, so I can make them now while I wait.
M:They'd better be long phone calls, then. From what Tom told me, their meeting's going to last three hours.
W:Three hours! What sort of meeting is this?
M:It's that planning meeting about the factory they mentioned, isn't it? Yeah, you'd better go and interrupt them. They're going to be in there all day.

Selling your things online helps you get rid of those you don't need, and it can also be a great source of income.
One thing you need to consider carefully is the platform on which you are going to advertise. Most big platforms in the field are so popular with sellers, not just because they can give you access to a bigger pool of potential customers, but also because they offer insurance, both to the seller and the buyer.
The disadvantage, however, is that you will need to pay some money for using the platform. You can use some platforms that either charge a smaller fee for advertising or even no fee at all—but, in that case, what you will need to keep in mind is your safety, especially if the value of the product you're selling is high. It's always best to meet the buyer during the day at a public place such as a coffee shop, a library, or a supermarket parking lot—anywhere monitored by security cameras is good.
A few more things to keep in mind: always be accurate with your descriptions of the things you are selling. The last thing you want is to be accused of cheating and banned from the website. Moreover, be careful with your personal information: do not give out your full name and don't give out your home address or cell phone number unless you have to, and have a separate e-mail address for selling online.
Remember that a smart, prepared seller is a happy seller.
第二部分 阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Donna Strickland was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Gérard Mourou.It's the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at five other pioneering female physicists—past and present—who actually deserve the prize.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell
Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落) : then-student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge.The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974, however,went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish.Recently awarded a £ 2.3 million Breakthrough Prize, which she gave away to help under-represented students, she joked to The Guardian, “I feel I've done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.”
Lene Hau
Hau is best-known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001.Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could next year be Hau's year?
Vera Rubin
Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s, opening up a new field of astronomy.She died in 2016, without recognition from the committee.
Chien-Shiung Wu
Wu's “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity”.Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study.
Lise Meitner
Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission(核裂变).However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was won by her male co-leader, Otto Hahn.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了五位开创性的女物理学家,她们在科学研究方面做出了巨大贡献,她们应该获得诺贝尔奖但由于种种原因而未能获得。

Three years ago, Nikki Robinson found a little raccoon (浣熊) by the road.She saved him and after a bunch of attempts at taking him to wildlife centers and vets, Nikki was disappointed in the lack of help.However, her mother Linda had experience in raising raccoons and after a little persuasion, took the little creature in.
They named him Little Hands and fell in love with the trash panda.Linda and Nikki fed him, raised him, and eventually let him go.To their surprise, Little Hands kept coming back, sometimes after a few days, sometimes a few months.He would come back and ask for hugs, food, and just love.
Little Hands was taken care of by Linda.He was released onto her large property and was allowed to come and go as he pleased.He was very fearful of any human or animal that he didn't grow up with, but would come back to visit them most nights.Linda would leave food out for him every night and sit outside on the porch swing before bed, waiting for his visit.The first thing he would do was that he would climb over to Linda on the swing, sit beside her, and want pats from her.
“Little Hands stayed with us for about two and a half months before he was fully released into the wild.He has always been a calm, peaceful raccoon, very loving and compassionate, even as he matured.But still wild enough he thrives on his own,” Nikki said.
People asked Nikki what their reaction was when Little Hands returned to them.“Pure joy.And every time he came back it was a more and more joyous occasion especially because he wanted our attention as well as our food.”
At last, Nikki said: “Be kind.We share the planet with so many creatures that need to be respected.They are capable of complex social systems and emotions.”

Researchers set out to understand more about the connection between people's emotions and behavior at bird feeders and how that may impact conservation in a study published in People and Nature.
“We know that bird feeding is popular across the world, but not a lot is known about people who feed birds,” said lead author Ashely Dayer, an assistant professor at Virginia Tech.
In the study, Dayer and her workmates made use of Project Feeder Watch, a citizen science program from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.The team sent an email to a subset of the project participants in all U.S.states and asked them questions about observations made at their feeders, how those observations made them feel and any management actions they took.
“Those who fed birds seemed to notice whether the predator (捕食者) near their feeders was a cat, which is non-native, or a hawk(鹰), which is native.They also had different emotional responses to the two.About half the people studied thought hawks were interesting.Cats, on the other hand, tended to cause anger,” said Dayer.
Researchers also determined that people changed their actions after noticing changes at their feeders.People tended to scare off cats, move their feeders or provide shelter for birds when they spotted cats around their feeders.When people saw sick birds, which caused emotions like sadness and worry, they often provided more food.
Another thing they found surprising was the factors that impact people's decisions about how much to feed birds.“Cold weather mattered more than what's usually predictive of human behavior—time and money,” Dayer said.Feeding birds when it was colder outside was more important to the participants, which showed their commitment to bird feeding, despite the cost of bird food.
Dayer said the next step would be looking at the impacts of feeders on birds themselves including disease risk and how feeders may influence bird behavior.
“Being able to understand how people decide what to do and what effects these actions have on birds can help answer bird conservation questions and help bird conservation organizations work with people that feed birds to ensure their activity has the most benefit,” Dayer said.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项研究,研究人员通过研究了解了鸟类饲养者的情绪和喂鸟的行为之间的联系,以及这将如何影响环境保护,以便保护鸟类。

It's said that about one third of the world's city citizens live in substandard housing.But researchers say free plans now available online for building houses made of manufactured parts that perfectly fit together may help solve this problem.
The world population is expected to grow to about 8.5 billion by 2030, and the housing situation in urban centers is already a huge problem.Building new homes in the traditional ways still takes weeks or months.
In a London neighborhood, a group of volunteers are constructing a house made of pre-fabricated plywood panels (预制胶合板) and parts, the so-called WikiHouse.All parts were precisely (精确地) cut in a Computer Numerical Control, or CNC machine, following a free plan downloaded from the Internet.
Founder of the UK-based WikiHouse Foundation, architectural designer Alastair Parvin, said this could be the solution for affordable housing.He said, “WikiHouse is essentially a series of technologies we are developing aimed at massively simplifying the process of making really sustainable and high-performance houses to a point where almost anyone can do it.”
Precise cutting allows a perfect fit for all parts, which speeds up the process of assembly (装配).No special tools are required.The WikiHouse was built in 10 days for exhibition purposes.Then, it was taken apart and reassembled elsewhere for permanent use.
“Open-source software is now really established, and it drives a lot of the software we use,” Parvin said.“What's happening now is that it's coming into the world of physical things, so we are effectively building a kind of Wikipedia for physical materials.”
Parvin says the project is in its early stages, with limited availability.But he says he believes it will grow as more people start showing interest in the houses whose assembly doesn't require special skills.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。为了解决城市居民的住房问题,一种新的房屋建造技术应运而生。
32.What may be the main purpose of the technology?
A.To speed up the process of assembly.

Antarctica (南极洲), the southernmost part of Earth, is covered
56. snow and ice all year round.57. it has amazing views, many are still frightened by this icy desert.
56.考查介词。be covered with/by为固定搭配,意为“被……覆盖着”,故填with或by。
答案:with/by
57.考查连词。前一句讲它有令人惊叹的景色,后一句讲许多人仍然害怕这片极冷的荒漠。根据前后句可知,应用连词引导让步状语从句,故填Although或Though或While。
答案:Although/Though/While
But the US explorer Colin O'Brady is different.Several 58._______
(month) ago, he became the first person 59. (cross) Antarctica alone.During the 932-mile journey, O'Brady spent 54 days in extreme conditions.He had to push 60. (he) to the limit.He carried everything he'd need on a sledge.But even with enough food, O'Brady began to become 61. (thin) and weaker after six weeks.“I
62. (lose) a ton of weight so far.My legs feel more like the size of my arms at this point,” he wrote on a US social networking platform.
58.考查名词单复数。month为可数名词,前面有several修饰,故用复数形式months。
答案:months
59.考查非谓语动词。“the+序数词first+n.”后应用不定式作后置定语,表示“他成为第一个独自穿越南极洲的人”,故填to cross。
答案:to cross
60.考查代词。此处是说他必须逼他自己挑战极限。主语与宾语指的是同一人,宾语应用反身代词。故填himself。
答案:himself
61.考查形容词比较级。根据下文and weaker可知,此处应用形容词比较级,故填thinner。
答案:thinner
62.考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语so far可知,应用现在完成时,主语为Ⅰ,助动词应用have。故填have lost。
答案:have lost
Adding to the pressure, O'Brady was racing against Louis Rudd from the UK.The two men set off together, with Rudd 63. (take) an early lead.But on December 25th, O'Brady decided to make a final effort without stopping for a rest.Luckily for him, he made it, getting to the finish line earlier than Rudd.
63.考查非谓语动词。设空处是非谓语动词作宾语补足语,take与Rudd之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以应用现在分词。故填taking。
答案:taking
O'Brady thinks that he has the spirit of 64. (explore) in his blood: He is an athlete, 65. loves to move.He also believes we can all have this strength and achieve much.
64.考查词性转换。作介词的宾语应用名词形式。故填exploration。
答案:exploration
65.考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“ loves to move”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词an athlete,空处在定语从句中作主语,指人,故填who。
答案:who

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
After Mum finished doing all the dishes, May, my eight-year-old sister, and I could not wait to climb onto our couch.We all waited for Mum to turn on the old tape player—it was our time with Dad.
Dad had been serving in the army in a distant place for 2 years, and he didn't come back even once, even though he sometimes sent back a few photos in which he always smiled in a uniform.Through the two years, our family received at least one tape a week from Dad.Mum played a part to us every evening after supper.Every day when Mum turned on the tape player, Dad began greeting us and asked each of us how our days had gone and what we had done.Speaking to the tape machine as if he could hear every word, each of us told him about our adventures, including almost everything:the rabbit we kept, the
quarrels and happiness between our friends and siblings, the humourous English teacher we recently met and so on.Mum wrote down our responses one by one, sentence by sentence, so Dad was kept up-to-date.In the following tapes, he praised our good deeds and gently corrected our errors.After we told Dad our tales, he told us some interesting stories or read the books Mum had sent him.
The evenings “with my Dad” had been the happiest times over the time, but everyone had a dream in the bottom of our heart that we could see the face of Dad, not only hear his voice.Knowing he would come back in one or two weeks from his last tape, each of us was wild with joy, waiting for that special day.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

__________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
Seven days later, all of us were playing in our yard when the gate in the fence opened. A tall man in a uniform walked through the gate.My sister yelled, running towards the man.Only in a second did she climb on his shoulders.Mum ran behind.The man embraced Mum and kissed her gently.
Puzzled by the scene, I was at a loss what I should do. Soon, the tall, uniformed man came up and smiled down at me.I looked up and asked hesitantly and eagerly, “Are you my father?” He burst into tears, knelt down, pulled me into his arms and said, “Absolutely! My princess! Happy birthday to you!” The moment I heard his voice, I recognized him as my father because it was the same voice that I heard so frequently on the tape player.I also received the most special gift in my life—my real father,not just the voice.
