B Since his students began using Quizlet, English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words. Quizlet is a learning app, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners. Thorne teaches at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also noticed improvement in his students’ ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile apps to their classes. Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information. Thorne believes that apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses. The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it’s a game, quiz or practice activity,” he says. Many existing learning apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote. 24. What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching? A. They design learning apps for their students. B. They don’t allow their students to use apps after class. C. They allow their students to use mobile apps to study. D. They order their students not to use mobile phones in class. 25. What happens to the language learners after using the apps according to the text? A. They take an active part in learning. B. They save much time and money. C. They remember their weaknesses. D. They improve personal designing skills. 26. What can we learn about the existing learning apps? A. They have three types in total. B. They are too few to choose from. C. They are only designed for homework. D. They are designed for different uses. 27. Which is the best title for the text? A. Great changes in science and technology B. The use of mobile phones will be gone C. Ways to choose from different mobile apps D. Better language learning with mobile apps C It may come as a shock to owners, but dogs hate being hugged, a study has shown. Animal psychologists say dogs feel stressed and unhappy when they are hugged by their owners, because it stops them from running away. In a study which analyzed 250 pictures of dogs as they were being hugged, eight out of 10 animals looked clearly uncomfortable. Experts at The Kennel Club, and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, also agreed that owners should not treat their dogs like children, because most pets did not like to be hugged. The new study was carried out by Dr Stanley Coren, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia. He analyzed images of dogs being hugged by adults and children he found on the Internet, looking for signs of stress. At an extreme end, when a dog is especially anxious, it shows its teeth or may bite, but Dr Coren said there are small signs that it may be uncomfortable. Signs of stress include the dog folding its ears down, half-moon eyes or turning its head away to stop eye contact. If the dog has its eyes closed it could also be a sign of anxiety. Opening its mouth or raising one paw is another warning sign. “It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.” “Some people think that giving their dog a hug is a nice thing to do, but the reality is that a family pet will often stand a hug but doesn’t like it.” “On the whole dogs are sociable animals and love interacting with people, but any action that restricts a dog’s movement could make it uncomfortable and it is important for an owner to recognize the signs of stress or anxiety.” 28. What is a common misunderstanding about dogs? A. Dogs can be stressed when hugged. B. Dogs feel unhappy when they are hugged. C. Dogs like to be hugged by their owners. D. Hugging dogs stops them from running away. 29. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? A. Owners should not treat their dogs like children. B. Most dogs don’t like to be hugged. C. Dogs may bite you if they are especially anxious. D. Dogs are stressed if they open their eyes. 30. What is the function of the last three paragraphs? A. To warn readers to stay away from dogs. B. To call on readers to keep dogs as their pets. C. To advise readers to hug dogs as often as possible. D. To persuade readers to express your fondness to dogs properly. 31. Who is the text probably given to? A. Dog doctors. B. Dog experts. C. Dog owners. D. Dog trainers. D At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is sucking carbon dioxide from the air and turning it into rock, locking away the main culprit (引起问题的事物) behind global warming. Orca, based on the Icelandic word for “energy”, does its cutting-edge work at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant in southwest Iceland. It is the world’s largest plant using the direct air capture technology (DAC),which is the least developed carbon removal technology. By pulling CO2 from surrounding air, the plant is different from more traditional types of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects at highly-polluting industrial chimneys. Fans in front of the collector draw in ambient air and release it, largely purified CO2, through ventilators at the back “As soon as the filter is full, we close it off, and then we heat it up to around 100 degrees Celsius to separate the pure gas,” project manager Lukas Kaufmann added. Dissolved in fresh water, the gas is then put under high pressure into basalt (玄武岩) rock between 800 and 2,000 meters underground. The solution fills the rock’s holes and the solidification process begins. It takes up to two years for CO2 to turn into a solid. The carbon dioxide would only be re-released into the air if the rock were to heat up to very high temperatures, as in a volcanic eruption. The Orca plant can suck up around 4,000 tons of CO2 per year. The amount is tiny by global standards. Climate modelling suggests the world needs to eliminate several billion tons per year by 2050. CCS is one of the methods advocated by experts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels by 2100. CCS methods capture CO2 before it enters the atmosphere, pulling it immediately from highly-concentrated industrial pollution zones. But the DAC process, like the one in Iceland, aims to capture past emissions already in the atmosphere. However, the DAC method is in its early days and is prevented by the small concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. 32. Why is the filter heated to 100 degrees Celsius? A. To dissolve CO2 into water. B. To make high pressure. C. To burn away CO2. D. To get pure CO2. 33. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Produce. B. Consume. C. Remove. D. Store. 34. Which of the following statements is RIGHT about DAC? A. It deals with CO2 already in the air. B. It absorbs CO2 before it enters the air. C. It separates CO2 directly in the atmosphere. D. It catches CO2 wherever it exists. 35. What is the challenge for the DAC method now? A. It isn’t supported by experts to limit global warming. B. It doesn’t work well in the atmosphere with small concentration of CO2. C Volcanic eruptions may get CO2 back into the air again. D. It is too slow to turn CO2 into rock. 第二节 七选五（共5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。 Wildlife workers in Florida are feeding manatees (热带海牛) to keep them from starving.____36____ So far, the rescue workers have already given out 25 tons of lettuce. Manatees are huge sea mammals that can be as long as 4 meters when grown. ____37____ In spite of their size, manatees only eat plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason they’re sometimes called “sea cows”. They spend most of their time in warm, shallow water looking for food. But Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals since 1967. Most threats to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the creatures is boats. Manatees are curious and fairly slow, which has led to thousands of manatees being injured or killed. ____38____ At one point, there were only about 2, 000 manatees left in Florida. But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees. But now manatees are facing a new challenge: they can’t get enough to eat. Many of the beds of sea grass that manatees depend upon have been killed by human-caused pollution. Sea grass began to disappear around 2011. Warming seas, combined with polluted water and fertilizers that have washed off of farmlands, have created huge growths of algae on the ocean’s surface. ____39____ Last year, 1,101 manatees died from starving. ____40____ Many of the manatees that remain are so thin that their ribs can be seen. Often they have trouble swimming. So last December, wildlife experts came up with a plan to get emergency food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Long term, Florida is working to help restore sea grass beds. But that will take time. A. That was a record. B. They can weigh up to 590 kilograms. C. The feeding station has been very successful. D. With protection, manatees managed to bounce back. E. It blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. F. But feeding these massive sea creatures takes a lot of food. G. Research needs to be done to determine what food would be best. 第四部分 完型 （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、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 13-year-old Rylee Stuart was digging into her packet of Doritos when she came across a very rare puff chip (炸薯条) that changed her life.

A. if B. as if C. even D. even if 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：即使九十多岁了，我的爷爷仍然时不时地打打网球。 考查连词辨析。if如果；as if似乎；even甚至；even if尽管，即使。根据“My grandfather still plays tennis now and then”可知是即使九十多了，仍然时不时打网球，应用even if引导让步状语从句。故选D。 3. ________ neither you nor your sister been abroad for further study? A. Is B. Are C. Have D. Has 【答案】C 【解析】 详解】句意：你和你妹妹都没有出国深造吗？ 考查时态及主谓一致。Is是，be的第三人称单数现在时形式；Are是，be的复数和第二人称单数现在时形式；Have（与过去分词连用构成完成时）已经；Has（与过去分词连用构成完成时）已经，三单形式。根据“been”及句意可知，时态为现在完成时；neither…nor连接两个主语时，应遵循“就近原则”，you为第二人称，所以此处用动词原形。故选C。 4. The programme is a ________ music programme broadcast ________ every Friday. A. week’s ; lively B. week’s ; live C. weekly; lively D. weekly; live 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个节目是每周一次的音乐节目，每周五现场直播。 考查形容词和副词。week’s一周的，名词所有格；lively活泼的，形容词；weekly每周的，形容词；live现场直播，副词。根据“every Friday.”可知此处指的每周一次的音乐节目，修饰“music programme”填形容词weekly“每周的”，作定语；第二空修饰动词“broadcast”，填副词live“现场直播”。故选D。 5. How can ________ man like him be chosen as ________ head of our group? A. the; a B. a; a C. the; the D. a; / 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：像他这样的人怎么能被选为我们小组的领导呢？ 考查冠词的用法。a一，不定冠词，用在辅音开头的单词前面；an一，用于以元音开头的单词前；the定冠词，表特指。第一空后的man是以辅音音素开头的单词，且此处表泛指，所以用不定冠词a；第二空后head表示独一无二的头衔、职位，当独一无二的头衔作表语、主语补足语、宾语补足语以及同位语时，其前不加冠词。故选D。 6. —Did you receive a ticket? —Yes. Because I didn’t take any ________ of the sign “No Parking”. A. sight B. attention C. care D. notice 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你收到罚单了吗？——是的。因为我没有注意到“禁止停车”的标志。 考查名词词义辨析。sight视力；attention注意，常用于pay a attention to词组；care照顾；notice注意。根据“Did you receive a ticket?”及“Yes.”可知，此处指因为没有注意到“禁止停车”的标志而收到罚单，take notice of“注意”，固定词组。故选D。 7. Jane is suffering from nearsightedness. Without glasses, she is ________ a blind man. A. as good as B. as poor as C. as well as D. as silly as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：简患有近视。她不戴眼镜就跟一个盲人一样。 考查形容词词义辨析及原级比较。good好的；poor贫穷的；well健康的；silly愚蠢的。as…as…“与……一样”。根据“Jane is suffering from nearsightedness.”可知，简患有近视，所以不戴眼镜的话就跟一个盲人一样，as good as“几乎；差不多”符合。故选A。 8. The students asked ________ many questions that the new teacher felt ________ confused. A. such; such B. such; so C. so; such D. so; so 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：学生们问了很多问题，新老师感到很困惑。 考查副词用法。such“如此，这样”，修饰名词；so“很……”，修饰形容词或副词。第一空，空后有“many”，应用so，此处是so...that引导结果状语从句，排除A和B；第二空，空后confused“困惑的”，形容词，应用副词so修饰confused，在句中作状语，排除C。故选D。 9. They had been married many years ________ a child was born to them. A. once B. before C. since D. when 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们结婚多年，才有了一个孩子。 考查连词词义辨析。once一……就；before在……以前；since自从；when当……时。根据语境并结合选项可知，此处表示的是在他们生下孩子之前，他们已经结婚很多年了，before符合语境。故选B。 10. —Most senior students seldom have any spare time for their hobbies, ________? —________. They are busy with so much homework. A. haven’t they; No, they haven’t B. have they; Yes, they have C. do they; No, they don’t D. don’t they; Yes, they do 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——大多数高年级学生很少有业余时间从事自己的爱好，是吗？——是的，他们没有。他们忙于做这么多作业。 考查反意疑问句。根据“seldom”可知，陈述部分为否定句，所以疑问部分要用肯定形式，所以排除A项和D项； have“有”为实义动词，且为动词原形，所以疑问部分用助动词do，所以排除B项；反意疑问句的回答，如果事实是肯定的，就用yes，相反就用no，根据“They are busy with so much homework.”可知，他们很少有空闲时间从事自己的爱好，故回答用no。故选C。 11. —How about going boating if it tomorrow. —But nobody knows if it tomorrow. A. won’t rain； rains B. doesn’t rain； rains C. doesn’t rain； wil1 rain D. won’t rain； will rain 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——如果明天不下雨，去划船怎么样？——但是没人知道明天会不会下雨。根据How about going boating可知，if引导的是条件状语从句，从句应该用一般现在时态；又因为But nobody knows if it…可知，考查宾语从句，if引导的是宾语从句，表示“是否”，当主句是一般现在时态，宾语从句应该根据需要选用任何时态。又因为tomorrow是表示将来的时间状语，所以从句应该用一般将来时态，故答案选C。 点睛：if引导的条件状语从句，当主句是一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表示将来的含义，就是我们常说的“主将从现”，unless也有类似的用法，unless作为连词引导条件状语从句时，可以表示“如果不”或“除非”，unless=if not，如：We will go to the park if it doesn’t rain tomorrow. 可以改写为：We will go to the park unless it rains tomorrow. 12. Scientists say it is a few years ________ the new medicine was tested on patients. A. because B. after C. since D. before 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：科学家们说，这种新药在病人身上进行试验已经有几年了。 考查连词辨析。because因为；after在……之后；since自……以来；before在……以前。分析句子结构可知，句子属于“It is/has been+时间段+since从句”句型，表示“自从……有……了”，因此这里应用since引导时间状语从句。故选C。 13. More and more young graduates would rather ________ in the big cities ________ they can gain more opportunities to show their gift. A. work; so that B. to work; so that C. work; in order to D. to work; in order to 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意： 越来越多的年轻毕业生宁愿在大城市工作，这样他们可以获得更多的机会来展示他们的才能。 考查动词短语和目的状语从句。根据“would rather”可知，考查would rather do sth，表示“宁愿做某事”；“so that”引导的是目的状语从句，表示“以便”，后面跟一个完整的句子，而“in order to”后面需要跟动词原形，表示“为了”。题干中“they can gain more opportunities to show their gift”是一个完整的句子，因此应选择“so that”。故选A。 14. He was often listened ________ in this room. A. sing B. to sing C. to to sing D. singing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他经常被听到在房间里唱歌。 考查动词不定式。sing动词原形；to sing动词不定式；to to sing介词+动词不定式；singing现在分词或动名词。分析句子及结合句意可知，该句谓语动词是listen to，主动语态的句型是“listen to sb do sth.”，意为“听见某人做某事”，省略to的动词不定式在此作宾语补足语，其被动语态是sb. be listened to to do sth.，动词不定式在此作主语补足语，前一个to是介词，后一个to是动词不定式。故选C。 15. This is the only way we can think of ________ the problem. A to solve B. solving C. solved D. solve 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这是我们唯一能想到的解决问题的方法。 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构并结合语境可知，此处用不定式形式，作后置定语。故选A。 16.

Sorry, Madam.You’d better come tomorrow because it’s ____ the visiting hours. A. during B. at C. beyond D. before 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：对不起, 女士, 你最好明天来, 因为已经过了开放期了。 考查介词辨析。during在……期间；at在；beyond（时间）晚于，迟于；before在……之前。根据“Sorry, Madam.”可知，这里对对方进行了道歉，所以是已经过了开放期，故选C。 18.

A. that; where B. that; that C. where; where D. where; that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：他就是在他住的旅馆里当场被抓的。 考查定语从句及强调句。分析句子结构可知，第一个空所在句为定语从句，“in the hotel”为先行词，表示地点，关系词代替先行词在从句中作地点状语，where符合；分析句子结构并结合语境可知，本句是一个强调句，被强调部分是“in the hotel…he stayed”，结构为“It is/was+被强调部分+that+句子的剩余部分”。故选D。 20. —Well, this week I got fired, I hurt my left foot, I crashed my car and I got my wallet stolen. —________ But at least you are still alive. A. It never rains but it pours. B. Every dog has its day. C. It’s easy to be wise after the event. D. A good miss is as good as a mile. 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这个星期我被解雇了，我的左脚受伤了，我的车撞坏了，我的钱包被偷了。——祸不单行。但至少你还活着。 考查习语。It never rains but it pours祸不单行；Every dog has its day人人皆有得意时；It’s easy to be wise after the event事后聪明总是容易的；A good miss is as good as a mile失之毫厘，谬以千里。根据“Well, this week I got fired, I hurt my left foot, I crashed my car and I got my wallet stolen.”可知是指祸不单行。故选A。 第三部分 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Online courses offer people abundant (丰富的) opportunities to learn.

Quizlet is a learning app, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners. Thorne teaches at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also noticed improvement in his students’ ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile apps to their classes. Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information. Thorne believes that apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses. The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it’s a game, quiz or practice activity,” he says. Many existing learning apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote. 24. What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching? A. They design learning apps for their students. B. They don’t allow their students to use apps after class. C. They allow their students to use mobile apps to study. D. They order their students not to use mobile phones in class. 25. What happens to the language learners after using the apps according to the text? A. They take an active part in learning. B. They save much time and money. C. They remember their weaknesses. D. They improve personal designing skills. 26. What can we learn about the existing learning apps? A. They have three types in total. B. They are too few to choose from. C. They are only designed for homework. D. They are designed for different uses. 27. Which is the best title for the text? A. Great changes in science and technology B. The use of mobile phones will be gone C Ways to choose from different mobile apps D. Better language learning with mobile apps 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述的是我们可以通过移动应用程序更好地学习语言。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Since his students began using Quizlet, English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words.”及“Thanks to learning apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also noticed improvement in his students’ ability to remember information.”可知，Strack和Thorne允许他们的学生使用移动应用程序来学习。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Thorne believes that apps can help learners become more active in learning.”及“The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions.”可知，在使用应用程序后，学习者们积极参加到学习中来。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Many existing learning apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework.”可知，现有的学习应用程序是为不同用途设计的。故选D。 【27题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述的是我们可以通过移动应用程序更好地学习语言。故选D。 C It may come as a shock to owners, but dogs hate being hugged, a study has shown. Animal psychologists say dogs feel stressed and unhappy when they are hugged by their owners, because it stops them from running away. In a study which analyzed 250 pictures of dogs as they were being hugged, eight out of 10 animals looked clearly uncomfortable. Experts at The Kennel Club, and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, also agreed that owners should not treat their dogs like children, because most pets did not like to be hugged. The new study was carried out by Dr Stanley Coren, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia. He analyzed images of dogs being hugged by adults and children he found on the Internet, looking for signs of stress. At an extreme end, when a dog is especially anxious, it shows its teeth or may bite, but Dr Coren said there are small signs that it may be uncomfortable. Signs of stress include the dog folding its ears down, half-moon eyes or turning its head away to stop eye contact. If the dog has its eyes closed it could also be a sign of anxiety. Opening its mouth or raising one paw is another warning sign. “It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.” “Some people think that giving their dog a hug is a nice thing to do, but the reality is that a family pet will often stand a hug but doesn’t like it.” “On the whole dogs are sociable animals and love interacting with people, but any action that restricts a dog’s movement could make it uncomfortable and it is important for an owner to recognize the signs of stress or anxiety.” 28. What is a common misunderstanding about dogs? A. Dogs can be stressed when hugged. B. Dogs feel unhappy when they are hugged. C. Dogs like to be hugged by their owners. D. Hugging dogs stops them from running away. 29. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? A. Owners should not treat their dogs like children. B. Most dogs don’t like to be hugged. C. Dogs may bite you if they are especially anxious. D. Dogs are stressed if they open their eyes. 30. What is the function of the last three paragraphs? A. To warn readers to stay away from dogs. B. To call on readers to keep dogs as their pets. C. To advise readers to hug dogs as often as possible. D. To persuade readers to express your fondness to dogs properly. 31. Who is the text probably given to? A. Dog doctors. B. Dog experts. C. Dog owners. D. Dog trainers. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了狗不喜欢被拥抱的事实，并建议狗主人通过其他方式来表达对狗的喜爱。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It may come as a shock to owners, but dogs hate being hugged, a study has shown. Animal psychologists say dogs feel stressed and unhappy when they are hugged by their owners, because it stops them from running away.”可知，许多人误以为狗喜欢被主人拥抱，但实际上狗在被拥抱时会感到压力和不开心。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Experts at The Kennel Club, and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, also agreed that owners should not treat their dogs like children, because most pets did not like to be hugged.”；“At an extreme end, when a dog is especially anxious, it shows its teeth or may bite”和“but the reality is that a family pet will often stand a hug but doesn’t like it.”可知，狗在特别焦虑时可能会咬人，主人不应像对待孩子一样对待狗，大多数狗不喜欢被拥抱，但狗睁开眼睛并不一定是压力的表现。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.”；“It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.”和“On the whole dogs are sociable animals and love interacting with people, but any action that restricts a dog’s movement could make it uncomfortable and it is important for an owner to recognize the signs of stress or anxiety.”可知，最后三段主要建议读者用适当的方式表达对狗的喜爱，而不是通过拥抱。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要是给狗主人提供建议，告诉他们狗不喜欢被拥抱以及如何正确表达对狗的喜爱。故选C。 D At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is sucking carbon dioxide from the air and turning it into rock, locking away the main culprit (引起问题的事物) behind global warming. Orca, based on the Icelandic word for “energy”, does its cutting-edge work at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant in southwest Iceland. It is the world’s largest plant using the direct air capture technology (DAC),which is the least developed carbon removal technology. By pulling CO2 from surrounding air, the plant is different from more traditional types of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects at highly-polluting industrial chimneys. Fans in front of the collector draw in ambient air and release it, largely purified CO2, through ventilators at the back “As soon as the filter is full, we close it off, and then we heat it up to around 100 degrees Celsius to separate the pure gas,” project manager Lukas Kaufmann added. Dissolved in fresh water, the gas is then put under high pressure into basalt (玄武岩) rock between 800 and 2,000 meters underground. The solution fills the rock’s holes and the solidification process begins. It takes up to two years for CO2 to turn into a solid. The carbon dioxide would only be re-released into the air if the rock were to heat up to very high temperatures, as in a volcanic eruption. The Orca plant can suck up around 4,000 tons of CO2 per year. The amount is tiny by global standards. Climate modelling suggests the world needs to eliminate several billion tons per year by 2050. CCS is one of the methods advocated by experts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius from pre-industrial levels by 2100. CCS methods capture CO2 before it enters the atmosphere, pulling it immediately from highly-concentrated industrial pollution zones. But the DAC process, like the one in Iceland, aims to capture past emissions already in the atmosphere. However, the DAC method is in its early days and is prevented by the small concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. 32. Why is the filter heated to 100 degrees Celsius? A. To dissolve CO2 into water. B. To make high pressure. C. To burn away CO2. D. To get pure CO2. 33. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Produce. B. Consume. C. Remove. D. Store. 34. Which of the following statements is RIGHT about DAC? A. It deals with CO2 already in the air. B. It absorbs CO2 before it enters the air. C. It separates CO2 directly in the atmosphere. D. It catches CO2 wherever it exists. 35. What is the challenge for the DAC method now? A. It isn’t supported by experts to limit global warming. B. It doesn’t work well in the atmosphere with small concentration of CO2. C. Volcanic eruptions may get CO2 back into the air again. D. It is too slow to turn CO2 into rock. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了冰岛奥卡工厂利用“直接空气捕捉技术”吸收空气中的二氧化碳，并将其转化成岩石，以减少大气中的二氧化碳。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As soon as the filter is full, we close it off, and then we heat it up to around 100 degrees Celsius to separate the pure gas”可知，加热到100摄氏度是为了得到纯净的二氧化碳。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Climate modelling suggests the world needs to eliminate several billion tons per year by 2050.”可知，全世界每年需要消除数十亿吨，此处指“消除”。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But the DAC process, like the one in Iceland, aims to capture past emissions already in the atmosphere.”可知，DAC处理空气中已经存在的二氧化碳，A项表述正确。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the DAC method is in its early days and is prevented by the small concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.”可知，DAC的挑战是在二氧化碳浓度较低的大气中，它的效果不佳。故选B。 第二节 七选五（共5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。 Wildlife workers in Florida are feeding manatees (热带海牛) to keep them from starving.____36____ So far, the rescue workers have already given out 25 tons of lettuce. Manatees are huge sea mammals that can be as long as 4 meters when grown. ____37____ In spite of their size, manatees only eat plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason they’re sometimes called “sea cows”. They spend most of their time in warm, shallow water looking for food. But Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals since 1967. Most threats to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the creatures is boats. Manatees are curious and fairly slow, which has led to thousands of manatees being injured or killed. ____38____ At one point, there were only about 2, 000 manatees left in Florida. But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees. But now manatees are facing a new challenge: they can’t get enough to eat. Many of the beds of sea grass that manatees depend upon have been killed by human-caused pollution. Sea grass began to disappear around 2011. Warming seas, combined with polluted water and fertilizers that have washed off of farmlands, have created huge growths of algae on the ocean’s surface. ____39____ Last year, 1,101 manatees died from starving. ____40____ Many of the manatees that remain are so thin that their ribs can be seen. Often they have trouble swimming. So last December, wildlife experts came up with a plan to get emergency food to the manatees. They decided to feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Long term, Florida is working to help restore sea grass beds. But that will take time. A. That was a record. B. They can weigh up to 590 kilograms. C. The feeding station has been very successful. D. With protection, manatees managed to bounce back. E. It blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow. F. But feeding these massive sea creatures takes a lot of food. G. Research needs to be done to determine what food would be best. 【答案】36. F 37. B 38. D 39. E 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海牛这种海洋动物，介绍了它们的特点以及习性等情况。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Wildlife workers in Florida are feeding manatees to keep them from starving.”以及后文“So far, the rescue workers have already given out 25 tons of lettuce.”可知野生动物工作者为了不让海牛挨饿，给它们喂了25吨食物，说明喂养海牛需要大量食物。选项F“但是喂养这些巨大的海洋生物需要大量的食物。”符合语境。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Manatees are huge sea mammals that can be as long as 4 meters when grown.”以及后文“In spite of their size, manatees only eat plants that live in the sea. That’s one reason they’re sometimes called ‘sea cows’. They spend most of their time in warm, shallow water looking for food.”可知，本段主要是在说明海牛的身体特点，上文提到了身长，推测本句是在说明体重。因此选项B.“They can weigh up to 590 kilograms.它们可以重达590公斤。”符合语境。故选B。 38题详解】 根据后文“At one point, there were only about 2, 000 manatees left in Florida. But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees.”可知，后文提到了海牛数量有所增加，说明保护措施起效了。因此选项D.“With protection, manatees managed to bounce back.在保护下，海牛数量成功地反弹了。”符合语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“But Florida’s manatees have been on the US government’s list of endangered animals since 1967. Most threats to manatees come from humans. One of the biggest problems facing the creatures is boats.”可知，本句应具体说明人类船只是如何影响海牛的生存的：阻挡了让海草生长的阳光，因此选项E.“It blocks the sunlight that allows the sea grass to grow.它阻挡了让海草生长的阳光。”符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Last year, 1,101 manatees died from starving.”可知，上文具体说明了死于饥饿的海牛数量，可知本句对此进行评价：这是一个记录。因此选项A.“That was a record.这是一个记录。”符合语境。故选A。 第四部分 完型 （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、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 13-year-old Rylee Stuart was digging into her packet of Doritos when she came across a very rare puff chip (炸薯条) that changed her life.
