From the fearless Indiana Jones to the charming Han Solo and the world-weary Rick Deckard, Ford’s portrayal (饰演) of iconic characters has left a permanent mark on cinema and pop culture. Yet, the irony lies in how many of his career-defining roles fell into this “late bloomer’s” lap by chance. Born in Chicago, Harrison was discouraged from pursuing a career on the silver screen early on, having failed to land any significant parts. Instead, he turned to professional carpentry (木工) as a means to keep his family fed. But fate had other plans. While working as a carpenter in Hollywood, Ford crossed paths with numerous celebrity clients such as Joan Didion and, most notably, director George Lucas, who hired him to build cabinets for his office. Little did Ford know that this chance encounter would lead to his breakthrough role as the charming Han Solo in Star Wars. Lucas was impressed by Ford’s presence and offered him the iconic role. In time, Ford rose to a star. Ford’s next lucky moment came when he tried out for the role of Indiana Jones in a massive project by Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg initially wanted Ford for the role, but Lucas was hesitant as he had already worked with Ford on Star War and 1973’s American Graffiti. Then the production team tried many other possibilities but without luck. Eventually, the role went to Ford, strengthening his status as a Hollywood legend. The film series became a worldwide sensation, stimulating people’s imagination and inspiring a generation of future archaeologists. Over 40 years and four films later, Ford found himself completing the series with the fifth and final installment. Eighty-one-year-old Harrison received a five-minute standing ovation (鼓掌) at the Cannes Film Festival Premiere and picked up an honorary Palmed’ Or for his achievements. Ford’s commitment to his career is evident as he said, “I love the work! My luck has been to work with incredibly talented people, to find my way into this crowd of geniuses.” Despite his legendary status in Hollywood, Ford’s humility shines through. 4. What does the underlined word “prolific” probably mean in paragraph 1? A Productive. B. Fruitless. C. Hard-earned. D. Promising. 5. What made Harrison discouraged in his early film career? A. His lack of talent. B. The uncertain prospect. C. The dull industry. D. His family opposition. 6. What is the factor highlighted in the passage in Ford’s landing the important roles? A. His good fortune. B. His convincing acting. C. His fine reputation. D. His big circle of friends. 7. Which of the following best describes Harrison? A. A rising film genius. B. A humble carpenter. C. A Hollywood legend. D. A fearless challenger. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了好莱坞著名演员哈里森·福特个人事迹和演艺经历。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“In Hollywood, few actors have experienced a career as diverse (在好莱坞，很少有演员经历过如此多样化的职业生涯)”以及“From the fearless Indiana Jones to the charming Han Solo and the world-weary Rick Deckard, Ford’s portrayal of iconic characters has left a permanent mark on cinema and pop culture. (从无畏的印第安纳·琼斯到迷人的汉·索罗，再到厌世的瑞克·迪卡德，福特塑造的标志性人物在电影和流行文化中留下了永久的印记。)”画线词前说明的是多样化的职业生涯以及画线词后的各种角色，所以此处指的是“多产的”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Born in Chicago, Harrison was discouraged from pursuing a career on the silver screen early on, having failed to land any significant parts. Instead, he turned to professional carpentry (木工) as a means to keep his family fed. (哈里森出生在芝加哥，早年就被劝阻不要在银幕上发展事业，因为他没能得到任何重要的角色。相反，他转而从事专业木工工作，以此来养家糊口。)”可知，由于未能出演任何重要角色，职业前景的不确定性让哈里森在早期的工作中气馁。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But fate had other plans. While working as a carpenter in Hollywood, Ford crossed paths with numerous celebrity clients such as Joan Didion and, most notably, director George Lucas, who hired him to build cabinets for his office. Little did Ford know that this chance encounter would lead to his breakthrough role as the charming Han Solo in Star Wars. (但命运另有安排。在好莱坞当木匠时，福特结识了许多名人客户，比如琼·迪迪安，最著名的是导演乔治·卢卡斯，后者雇他为自己的办公室建造橱柜。福特一点也不知道，这次偶然的相遇会让他在《星球大战》中饰演迷人的汉·索罗。)”以及第四段中“Ford’s next lucky moment came when he tried out for the role of Indiana Jones in a massive project by Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Raiders of the Lost Ark. (福特的下一个幸运时刻是在卢卡斯和史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格联合制作的《夺宝奇兵》中出演印第安纳·琼斯一角。)”可知，福特的好运是他获得重要角色的突出因素。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In Hollywood, few actors have experienced a career as diverse and prolific as Harrison Ford. (在好莱坞，很少有演员像哈里森·福特那样经历了如此多样化和多产的职业生涯。)”以及最后一段“Despite his legendary status in Hollywood, Ford’s humility shines through. (尽管福特在好莱坞有着传奇的地位，但他的谦逊依然闪耀着光芒。)”可知，哈里森是好莱坞的传奇人物。故选C。 C Whales are celebrated for being the largest and most intelligent creatures in the ocean. Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. “The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US $2 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. Whale populations are today a smidgen of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. 8. What does the new study reveal about whales? A. They are money-makers for good. B. Their intelligence is unquestionable. C. They are a natural climate solution. D. Their survival is threatened by carbon. 9. Why is a whale compared with a tree in paragraph 2? A. To indicate all matter regarding green efforts. B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C. To highlight whales’ carbon capture potential. D. To emphasize the importance of tree planting. 10. What can be inferred from what researchers said in paragraph 4? A. Climate change intensifies. B. Whale populations stay low. C. Our survival is endangered. D. Whale protection is a priority. 11. What is the most suitable title for the article? A. Protect whales to protect the planet B. How to restore whale populations C. Live in harmony with ocean giants D. Whales can guarantee our survival 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文属于说明文，主要介绍了关于鲸鱼的一项新研究发现及其对碳捕获的经济价值，同时也讨论了鲸鱼保护的紧迫性和现状。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation.(根据国际货币基金组织发表的一项新研究，生物学家发现它们还从大气中捕获了数吨的碳，这一服务对所有大型鲸鱼来说都具有1万亿美元的经济价值。该研究指出，保护鲸鱼通常被视为人类的一件好事，但也有金钱动机)”可知，新的研究发现，鲸鱼能从大气中捕获碳，它们是一种自然的气候解决方案。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale.(根据这项研究，每头鲸鱼平均能捕获33吨二氧化碳。在同一时期，一棵树只贡献了鲸鱼碳吸收的3%)”可知，第二段中把鲸鱼和树比较是为了强调鲸鱼的碳捕获潜力。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said.(随着《巴黎协定》明年生效，气候变化的影响越来越广泛，我们必须防止对鲸鱼的伤害。研究人员分析说，除非提出新的方法，否则将需要30多年的时间才能使目前的鲸鱼数量增加一倍，并需要几代人的时间才能使它们恢复到捕鲸前的数量。他们说：“社会和我们自己的生存等不起这么久。”)”可知，研究人员表示，需要使用新的方法使鲸鱼的数量尽快恢复，否则回威胁我们自身的生存，因此保护鲸鱼是当务之急。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据根据第一段“Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. (根据国际货币基金组织发表的一项新研究，生物学家发现它们还从大气中捕获了数吨的碳，这一服务对所有大型鲸鱼来说都具有1万亿美元的经济价值)”和最后一段“With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales.(随着《巴黎协定》明年生效，气候变化的影响越来越广泛，我们必须防止对鲸鱼的伤害)”结合文章主要介绍了关于鲸鱼的一项新研究发现及其对碳捕获的经济价值，同时也讨论了鲸鱼保护的紧迫性和现状可知，A选项“保护鲸鱼就是保护地球”符合文章标题。故选A。 D Vitamin D was recognized a century ago as the cure for rickets, a childhood disease that causes weak bones. Then, in the early 2000s, a pile of studies suggested that low vitamin D levels could be a factor in cancer, cardiovascular (心血管) disease, Parkinson’s disease and so on. This simple vitamin seemed to be a cure for whatever troubled us. However, all these observational studies have a fundamental weakness: they can identify a co-occurrence between vitamin D and a disease, but they can’t prove there is a cause-and-effect relation. To look at whether taking vitamin D had curative effects, Manson and her team started the world’s largest and most far-reaching randomized vitamin D trial. The study followed nearly 26,000 healthy adults, randomized to receive either 2,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D or a placebo (安慰剂), for an average of 5.3 years. The volunteers were almost evenly split between men and women, and 20 percent of the participants were black. The results came as a shock. Not only did vitamin D not reduce rates of cancer or heart disease, but the trial also found that vitamin D did not prevent or improve cognitive function, or reduce the risk of bone fractures (骨折). The finding about fractures “was a real surprise to many people,” Manson says. In 2011, the Institute of Medicine established an expert committee to conduct a thorough analysis of all existing studies on vitamin D and health. The committee concluded that the bone-strengthening benefits of vitamin D remain steady when blood levels reach 12 to 16 nanograms per milliliter. They also found that there were no benefits to having levels above 20 ng/ml. According to measurements of vitamin D levels in the general U.S. population, most had levels of 20 ng/ml or more in 2011. Levels have actually risen since then, meaning that most people don’t need to take extra vitamin D. The ups and downs of vitamin D offer a lesson in humility. The relation between the vitamin and disease is far more complicated than it first seemed and a reminder that scientific understanding is always developing over time. 12. What is the problem with the early studies regarding vitamin D? A No related cases were involved. B. They lack convincing evidence. C. No observation was conducted. D. They fail to account for anything. 13. Why were 20 percent of the participants black in Manson’s trial? A. To identify vitamin D-related disease. B. To help solve the problems they faced. C. To make their findings more reliable. D. To show their respect for the minority. 14. What do you know about the findings in paragraph 3 and 4? A. They proved vitamin D was the cure for disease. B. They revealed that vitamin D made no difference. C. They came as no surprise to Manson and her team. D. They updated people’s knowledge about vitamin D. 15. What should we realize from the ups and downs of vitamin D? A. Scientific understanding is dynamic. B. We should not believe the old theories. C. Research into vitamins is worthwhile. D. Some diseases are practically incurable. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了不同时期对于维生素D对人体健康的研究最新的研究发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, all these observational studies have a fundamental weakness: they can identify a co-occurrence between vitamin D and a disease, but they can't prove there is a cause-and-effect relation.”（然而，所有这些观察性研究都有一个根本的弱点：它们可以确定维生素D和疾病之间的共同发生，但它们不能证明两者之间存在因果关系。）可知，先前的研究无法证明缺少维生素D会导致疾病的发生，缺乏有力的实验证据。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“To look at whether taking vitamin D had curative effects, Manson and her team started the world's largest and most far-reaching randomized vitamin D trial.”（为了研究服用维生素D是否有疗效，曼森和她的团队开始了世界上规模最大、影响最深远的随机维生素D试验。）以及本段最后一句“The volunteers were almost evenly split between men and women, and 20 percent of the participants were black.”（志愿者中男女几乎各占一半，20%的参与者是黑人。）可推知，曼森的实验中有20%的黑人参与者是为了使实验数据更广泛，从而使得结果更可靠。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The results came as a shock. Not only did vitamin D not reduce rates of cancer or heart disease, but the trial also found that vitamin D did not prevent or improve cognitive function, or reduce the risk of bone fractures (骨折).”（结果令人震惊。维生素D不仅不能降低患癌症或心脏病的几率，而且试验还发现，维生素D不能预防或改善认知功能，也不能降低骨折的风险。）以及第四段中“ They also found that there were no benefits to having levels above 20 ng/ml. According to measurements of vitamin D levels in the general U.S. population, most had levels of 20 ng/ml or more in 2011. Levels have actually risen since then, meaning that most people don’t need to take extra vitamin D.”（该委员会得出结论，当血液中维生素D的含量达到每毫升12至16毫微克时，维生素D对骨骼的增强作用保持稳定。他们还发现，浓度超过20纳克/毫升没有任何好处。根据对美国普通人群维生素D水平的测量，2011年大多数人的维生素D水平为20纳克/毫升或更高。从那以后，维生素D的含量实际上有所上升，这意味着大多数人不需要额外服用维生素D。）可推知，第三、四段的发现更新了人们对维生素D的认识。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The ups and downs of vitamin D offer a lesson in humility. The relation between the vitamin and disease is far more complicated than it first seemed and a reminder that scientific understanding is always developing over time.”（维生素D的起起落落给我们上了一堂谦卑的课。维生素和疾病之间的关系比最初看起来要复杂得多，它提醒我们，科学认识总是随着时间的推移而发展的。）可知，从对于维生素D认识的起起落落这件事上，我们应该意识到科学理解是动态的，不断发展的。故选A项。 第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teamwork Doubles the Strength Admittedly, teamwork is literally important for any class or team to achieve its goals and objectives. Let me give three reasons why it is advantageous. As individuals, we possess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each of us possesses, resulting in an end product that is diverse yet homogenous (同种类的). As team members exchange thoughts and experiences, there can be more efficiency and effectiveness at problem-solving. This pooling of talents can also lead to greater innovation and success. ____16____. It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history. Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured. ____17____. ____18____. Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may also contribute new ideas. Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. ____19____. Some may think that working in isolation (单独) is more efficient since more time is taken when cooperating with others. For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project. ____20____. But, the loss of synergy (协同作用) that only team effort can generate may also prevent the team from reaching its full potential. A. Take Leicester City for example B. Thus we can expect greater job satisfaction C. Team members can also be divided in opinions D. They don’t need to share the success with others E. Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams F. And finally working in a team multiplies learning opportunities G. We learn to respect differences in working styles and opinions, and develop trust 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了团队合作之所以对团队达成目标重要的三个原因。 【16题详解】 下文“It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history.(令许多球迷完全难以置信的是，它在2016年赢得了英超联赛冠军。莱斯特城曾经被认为是联赛的失败者，但他们表现出了令人印象深刻的团队合作，从而取得了足球史上令人难以置信的胜利)”可知，莱斯特城在英超联赛上的胜利是对上文观点的举例，A项“以莱斯特城为例”引出下文，符合题意。故选A项。 【17题详解】 上文“Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured.(其次，团队合作意味着成员分担工作量。当工作被分配，我们每个人都在一个团队中专门从事特定的任务时，我们每个人的压力就会减少，并确保在截止日期前完成任务)”说明了团队合作的诸多益处，可以按时完成任务，和B项“因此，我们可以期待更高的工作满意度”，与上文构成因果关系，进一步指明了因为团队成员分担工作量之后，我们可以期待更高的工作满意程度。故选B项。 【18题详解】 下文“Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives.(团队成员向更有经验的成员学习，这些成员可能会提供更深入的见解和观点)”及“Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills.(除了鼓励知识和经验的分享，团队合作还培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能)”可知，本段想要介绍的是在团队工作中会学到很多东西，F项“最后，在团队中工作可以增加学习机会” 起到了对本段的总结概括作用，作为本段的主题句，符合题意。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. (除了鼓励知识和经验的分享，团队合作还培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能)”和G项“我们学会尊重不同的工作方式和意见，并建立信任”构成内容上的承接关系，指明了团队合作除了可以培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能之外，还可以让我学会学会尊重不同的工作方式和意见，并建立信任。故选G项。 【20题详解】 上文“For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project.(对于更有才华的人来说，独自工作意味着成为项目的明星)”中的more talented individuals和D项“他们不需要与他人分享成功”中的they指代一致，解释了独自工作意味着成为项目的明星的原因就是不需要与他人分享成功。故选D项。 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该选项标号涂黑。 Have you ever felt the need to grab a pen and start writing your thoughts on paper?

I spend a significant amount of time on introspection (内省). I lack the ease to engage in conversations with others. But I find this, on the other hand, can be an advantage. Once, as a school boy, I wondered if I, such an introverted (内向的) person, would be considered eccentric (古怪的). And I was even afraid that I could possibly get nowhere in my study. I went to school, where I was just an average student and struggled with shyness. My parents had high expectations, hoping I would finally be able to secure the first position at the end of the sixth grade. However, achieving that was no easy job. Given the keen competition between classmates and my then situation, it was challenging to stand out. I inquired with my friend, Tom, who consistently ranked first, and he revealed that his two aunts had been helping him, providing tutoring support. Asking for help was never easy for me; my shyness stopped me from seeking assistance. I believed that I had to depend on myself — it was my sole responsibility to learn and educate myself. This mindset surprisingly ignited (激发) a race within me to claim the top position in my class. However, I realized there were barriers on my path — several subjects troubled me. And I understood that achieving the first position would take a couple of years of hard work. I embarked on (开始) this journey when I was in the fourth grade. Attention focused in class and more time spent after class, I found I was gradually on the right track. By the fifth grade, work on my study was progressing steadily and improvement was obvious. Even Tom showed his surprise or I could say envy. But I knew my performance in writing still needed improving. And I knew, though without additional support, I could count on myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The journey continued into the sixth grade. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day arrived when the headmaster declared the exam results. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The journey continued into the sixth grade. I, as usual, worked independently. And I found a good thing. Isolated and single-minded, I could have all my attention focused on my study. Evidently, that mattered a lot. I had managed to achieve good scores in writing and I was well on my way. But that wasn’t enough to secure the first position yet. With the terminal exam approaching, the classroom was just like a competitive arena, all my classmates preparing hard for the academic battle. This, however, further stimulated the race within me. I, on my own initiative, formulated strategies to win, resolving not to let anyone take the first position from me. When finally the exam came, I, exceptionally calm and confident, gave it my all. The day arrived when the headmaster declared the exam results. As I waited, the headmaster began with the top performers in Grade one. The tension grew as each name was called. Eventually, he announced the first position in the sixth grade. It was claimed by our class. I was nervous. He called MY name. It was ME! The first one in Grade six! I lived up to my parents’ expectations! The feeling was indescribable, and I was just in a state of shock and happiness. Teachers and classmates, including Tom, sent me their congratulations. Guess how I reacted then? I shied away and slid back to the classroom. Over time, I have accepted who I am, for being introverted, as it turns out, can be a facilitator rather than a killer of my accomplishments. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者很内向，不善于与人交谈。但是作者利用这种优势，专注学业，在写作方面取得了不错的成绩，而且进展顺利。最终作者取得了年级第一，也得到了老师和同学的认可。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这段旅程一直持续到六年级”可知，第一段可描写作者专注于学习，在写作方面取得了不错的成绩，而且进展顺利，期末考试即将来临，作者决定要努力取得第一名。 ②由第二段首句内容“校长宣布考试成绩的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者取得了年级第一，当时的心理活动，老师和同学纷纷祝贺作者。 2.续写线索：专注学习——写作取得不错成绩——期末考试——决心努力取得第一——校长宣布成绩——获得第一——老师同学祝贺——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注：focus on/concentrate on ②临近：approach/around the corner ③制定：formulate/programme 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②高兴：happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] With the terminal exam approaching, the classroom was just like a competitive arena, all my classmates preparing hard for the academic battle.

B In Hollywood, few actors have experienced a career as diverse and prolific as Harrison Ford. From the fearless Indiana Jones to the charming Han Solo and the world-weary Rick Deckard, Ford’s portrayal (饰演) of iconic characters has left a permanent mark on cinema and pop culture. Yet, the irony lies in how many of his career-defining roles fell into this “late bloomer’s” lap by chance. Born in Chicago, Harrison was discouraged from pursuing a career on the silver screen early on, having failed to land any significant parts. Instead, he turned to professional carpentry (木工) as a means to keep his family fed. But fate had other plans. While working as a carpenter in Hollywood, Ford crossed paths with numerous celebrity clients such as Joan Didion and, most notably, director George Lucas, who hired him to build cabinets for his office. Little did Ford know that this chance encounter would lead to his breakthrough role as the charming Han Solo in Star Wars. Lucas was impressed by Ford’s presence and offered him the iconic role. In time, Ford rose to a star. Ford’s next lucky moment came when he tried out for the role of Indiana Jones in a massive project by Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg initially wanted Ford for the role, but Lucas was hesitant as he had already worked with Ford on Star War and 1973’s American Graffiti. Then the production team tried many other possibilities but without luck. Eventually, the role went to Ford, strengthening his status as a Hollywood legend. The film series became a worldwide sensation, stimulating people’s imagination and inspiring a generation of future archaeologists. Over 40 years and four films later, Ford found himself completing the series with the fifth and final installment. Eighty-one-year-old Harrison received a five-minute standing ovation (鼓掌) at the Cannes Film Festival Premiere and picked up an honorary Palmed’ Or for his achievements. Ford’s commitment to his career is evident as he said, “I love the work! My luck has been to work with incredibly talented people, to find my way into this crowd of geniuses.” Despite his legendary status in Hollywood, Ford’s humility shines through. 4. What does the underlined word “prolific” probably mean in paragraph 1? A Productive. B. Fruitless. C. Hard-earned. D. Promising. 5. What made Harrison discouraged in his early film career? A. His lack of talent. B. The uncertain prospect. C. The dull industry. D. His family opposition. 6. What is the factor highlighted in the passage in Ford’s landing the important roles? A.

Now, biologists have discovered that they also capture (捕获) tons of carbon from the atmosphere, a service with an economic value of US $1 trillion for all the great whales, according to a new study published by the International Monetary Fund. The study points out that protecting whales, normally viewed as a human good, also has a monetary motivation. “The carbon capture potential of whales is truly incredible,” said the report. “Our conservative estimates put the value of the average great whale at more than US $2 million, and easily over US $1 trillion for the current stock of great whales.” Whales absorb carbon in their bodies during their long lives, some of which stretch to 200 years. When they die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean, taking the carbon with them. According to the study, each great whale traps around 33 tons of carbon dioxide on average. A tree during the same period only contributes to 3 percent of the carbon absorption of the whale. Whale populations are today a smidgen of what they once were. It is estimated that there are slightly more than 1.3 million whales in the ocean, a quarter of their pre-whaling number of 4 to 5 million. Some species in particular, like the blue whale, are only 3 percent of what they used to be. “We can create financial methods to promote the restoration of the world’s whale populations,” said the report’s authors. “Rewards could help those who pay significant costs as a result of whale protection.” With the Paris Agreement coming into force next year and the effects of climate change ever more widespread, we must prevent the harm to whales. Researchers analyzed that unless new methods are put forward, it would take over 30 years to double the number of current whales, and several generations to return them to their pre-whaling numbers. “Society and our own survival can’t afford to wait this long,” they said. 8. What does the new study reveal about whales? A. They are money-makers for good. B. Their intelligence is unquestionable. C. They are a natural climate solution. D. Their survival is threatened by carbon. 9. Why is a whale compared with a tree in paragraph 2? A. To indicate all matter regarding green efforts. B. To illustrate whales are friendly to the oceans. C. To highlight whales’ carbon capture potential. D. To emphasize the importance of tree planting. 10. What can be inferred from what researchers said in paragraph 4? A. Climate change intensifies. B. Whale populations stay low. C. Our survival is endangered. D. Whale protection is a priority. 11 What is the most suitable title for the article? A. Protect whales to protect the planet B. How to restore whale populations C. Live in harmony with ocean giants D. Whales can guarantee our survival D Vitamin D was recognized a century ago as the cure for rickets, a childhood disease that causes weak bones. Then, in the early 2000s, a pile of studies suggested that low vitamin D levels could be a factor in cancer, cardiovascular (心血管) disease, Parkinson’s disease and so on. This simple vitamin seemed to be a cure for whatever troubled us. However, all these observational studies have a fundamental weakness: they can identify a co-occurrence between vitamin D and a disease, but they can’t prove there is a cause-and-effect relation. To look at whether taking vitamin D had curative effects, Manson and her team started the world’s largest and most far-reaching randomized vitamin D trial. The study followed nearly 26,000 healthy adults, randomized to receive either 2,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D or a placebo (安慰剂), for an average of 5.3 years. The volunteers were almost evenly split between men and women, and 20 percent of the participants were black. The results came as a shock. Not only did vitamin D not reduce rates of cancer or heart disease, but the trial also found that vitamin D did not prevent or improve cognitive function, or reduce the risk of bone fractures (骨折). The finding about fractures “was a real surprise to many people,” Manson says. In 2011, the Institute of Medicine established an expert committee to conduct a thorough analysis of all existing studies on vitamin D and health. The committee concluded that the bone-strengthening benefits of vitamin D remain steady when blood levels reach 12 to 16 nanograms per milliliter. They also found that there were no benefits to having levels above 20 ng/ml. According to measurements of vitamin D levels in the general U.S. population, most had levels of 20 ng/ml or more in 2011. Levels have actually risen since then, meaning that most people don’t need to take extra vitamin D. The ups and downs of vitamin D offer a lesson in humility. The relation between the vitamin and disease is far more complicated than it first seemed and a reminder that scientific understanding is always developing over time. 12. What is the problem with the early studies regarding vitamin D? A. No related cases were involved. B. They lack convincing evidence. C. No observation was conducted. D. They fail to account for anything. 13. Why were 20 percent of the participants black in Manson’s trial? A. To identify vitamin D-related disease. B. To help solve the problems they faced. C. To make their findings more reliable. D. To show their respect for the minority. 14. What do you know about the findings in paragraph 3 and 4? A. They proved vitamin D was the cure for disease. B. They revealed that vitamin D made no difference. C. They came as no surprise to Manson and her team. D. They updated people’s knowledge about vitamin D. 15. What should we realize from the ups and downs of vitamin D? A. Scientific understanding is dynamic. B. We should not believe the old theories. C. Research into vitamins is worthwhile. D. Some diseases are practically incurable. 第二节(共5个小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teamwork Doubles the Strength Admittedly, teamwork is literally important for any class or team to achieve its goals and objectives. Let me give three reasons why it is advantageous. As individuals, we possess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each of us possesses, resulting in an end product that is diverse yet homogenous (同种类的). As team members exchange thoughts and experiences, there can be more efficiency and effectiveness at problem-solving. This pooling of talents can also lead to greater innovation and success. ____16____. It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans.

Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured. ____17____. ____18____. Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may also contribute new ideas.

I spend a significant amount of time on introspection (内省). I lack the ease to engage in conversations with others. But I find this, on the other hand, can be an advantage. Once, as a school boy, I wondered if I, such an introverted (内向的) person, would be considered eccentric (古怪的). And I was even afraid that I could possibly get nowhere in my study. I went to school, where I was just an average student and struggled with shyness. My parents had high expectations, hoping I would finally be able to secure the first position at the end of the sixth grade. However, achieving that was no easy job. Given the keen competition between classmates and my then situation, it was challenging to stand out. I inquired with my friend, Tom, who consistently ranked first, and he revealed that his two aunts had been helping him, providing tutoring support. Asking for help was never easy for me; my shyness stopped me from seeking assistance. I believed that I had to depend on myself — it was my sole responsibility to learn and educate myself. This mindset surprisingly ignited (激发) a race within me to claim the top position in my class. However, I realized there were barriers on my path — several subjects troubled me. And I understood that achieving the first position would take a couple of years of hard work. I embarked on (开始) this journey when I was in the fourth grade. Attention focused in class and more time spent after class, I found I was gradually on the right track. By the fifth grade, work on my study was progressing steadily and improvement was obvious. Even Tom showed his surprise or I could say envy. But I knew my performance in writing still needed improving. And I knew, though without additional support, I could count on myself. 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。 The journey continued into the sixth grade. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day arrived when the headmaster declared the exam results. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
