A very dangerous situation happened in California last week. More than 12 wildfires broke out in the state. Most of them began on October 8, in Northern California. They grew rapidly. The fires were made bigger by winds of up to 50 miles per hour and dry air in the area.
At least 20 people have been killed, the state government said. About 200 have been injured. At least 3,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. About 50,000 people have been required to escape. Many left in a hurry, without time to take their personal things.“All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,”Jeff Okrepkie said. He escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡,县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园)and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016, California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.
October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.

A. High-speed wind and dry air.
B. 12 fires happened at the same time

A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that the devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also more healthily.
For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists (骑行者) between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. This group was called the“ cyclists”
Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group,75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. This group was called the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol (酒精) and people with other health issues were not included in the study.
Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass, muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune systems (免疫系统). Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.
Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.
The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.
The researchers advise us all to find the exercise that we like in our lives.
8. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. With imagination.
B. Through discussion.
C. By comparison
D. By reasoning
9. Which of the following is a result of the research?
A. The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.
B. The non-exercisers gained weight easily.
C. The cyclists kept thin.
D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems.
10. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?
A. The cyclists had the normal aging process
B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.
C. The cyclists lost nearly all their fat
D. Everyone needed exercise in their lives,
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Healthy People Need More Exercise.
B. Take Exercise, the Harder, the Better
C. Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging.
D. A Lifetime of Exercise Slows the Aging Process.
D
Plastic is used for food packaging(包装) and water bottles as well as many other things you use every day. Look around, plastic is all over! Sadly, much of plastic waste is thrown into waste lands or washed into the sea, breaking down into particles. Particles are often taken in by animals or fish. Unless you are the one who only eats vegetables, it is highly likely that you are also eating this plastic. Besides, when you drink soft drinks from a plastic bottle, you also have the danger of drinking a dangerous chemical. It has been proved that plastic is connected with some types of diseases and young children’s growth.
A plastic bottle can break down into enough small pieces on each seaside in the whole world. They have also been discovered to collect in large amount in sea locations where winds and currents(洋流) are weak.
How do you help to solve the problem? Use a stainless steel(不锈钢) bottle. It is an obvious way to deal with the problem that has been ignored for many years. Many countries become increasingly more familiar with the pollution that is damaging the environment. It’s easy to understand why steps are being taken to discover things to replace the plastic.
If you use a stainless steel water bottle, you can help cut the number of using plastic bottles, which are thrown away and break down gradually. It may even take 1000 years to fade away. In a word, even by doing something as small as changing your water bottle to a stainless steel one, you could make the world a better place to live for future generations.
12. What does the underlined word “particles” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Tiny pieces of plastic. B. Healthy drinks to humans.
C. New bottles. D. Useful materials.
13. What bad influence do plastic products have on people according to the text?
A. They change people’s eating habits.
B. They affect people’s ways of choosing food.
C. They change people’s attitudes to soft drinks.
D. They may make people suffer from some kinds of diseases.
14. Which of the following does the author want to express?
A. Winds in the sea are often weak in some seasons.
B. Chemicals of animals in the sea are easy to collect.
C. Many countries are suffering the pollution of plastic.
D. Plastic will completely be replaced by other things in the future.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A major use of plastic bottles.
B. A large amount of plastic on the seaside.
C. The future development of plastic bottles.
D. The bad influence of plastic bottles and its solution.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。

As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared.

Many left in a hurry, without time to take their personal things.“All the good stuff(东西)—I’m never going to see it again,”Jeff Okrepkie said. He escaped from his Santa Rosa home. It was destroyed soon after he left.
The fires burned through parts of eight counties(郡,县). These include Sonoma and Napa. The areas are important to California’s economy(经济). They are home to many of the state’s vineyards(葡萄园)and wineries(酿酒厂). In 2016 California’s wineries made more than $57 billion.
October is when wildfires usually produce the most ruins in California. But it is unusual for so many fires to start at once. Up to now, the government has not given a cause for any of the fires, many of which were still burning.
4. Why did the fires grow quickly?
A. High-speed wind and dry air.
B. 12 fires happened at the same time
C. The state government didn’t do anything
D. Most of the fires began in October.
5. How many people have to leave their homes?

C. People have to leave their homes
D. Wineries have been burned.
7. What is the reason of the fires?

A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that the devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also more healthily.
For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists (骑行者) between the ages of 55 to 79.This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. This group was called the“ cyclists”
Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group,75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36.The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. This group was called the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol (酒精) and people with other health issues were not included in the study.
Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass, muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune systems (免疫系统). Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.
Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.
The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.
The researchers advise us all to find the exercise that we like in our lives.
8. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A. With imagination.
B. Through discussion.
C. By comparison
D. By reasoning
9. Which of the following is a result of the research?
A. The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.
B. The non-exercisers gained weight easily.
C. The cyclists kept thin.
D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems.
10. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?
A. The cyclists had the normal aging process
B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.
C. The cyclists lost nearly all their fat
D. Everyone needed exercise in their lives,
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Healthy People Need More Exercise.
B. Take Exercise, the Harder, the Better
C. Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent Aging.
D. A Lifetime of Exercise Slows the Aging Process.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现,该研究表明终身定期锻炼和活动可以减缓衰老过程。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass, muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune systems(免疫系统). Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.(然后,研究人员对两组人进行了一系列测试。他们测试了他们的肌肉质量、肌肉力量、体脂百分比和免疫系统的力量。然后研究人员比较了两组的结果。)”可知,研究人员是通过比较两组的结果来进行这项研究的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.(结果显示,骑自行车的人没有经历通常被认为是正常衰老过程的身体变化。例如,他们没有失去肌肉质量或肌肉力量。此外,他们的体脂也没有随着年龄的增长而增加。)”可知,研究结果表明骑自行车的人肌肉并没有随着年龄的增长而减少。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.(研究人员还发现了一些他们没有预料到的事情。研究表明,骑自行车的人的免疫系统也没有衰老。)”可知,出乎研究人员意料的结果是骑自行车的人的免疫系统也没有衰老。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that the devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also more healthily.(一项研究发现,终身定期锻炼和活动可以减缓衰老过程。研究人员表示,变老并不一定意味着变得更加虚弱或生病。他们的研究表明,热爱运动和锻炼的生活不仅可以帮助我们活得更长,而且更健康。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述的是终身锻炼可以减缓衰老过程。所以用D项“A Lifetime of Exercise Slows the Aging Process.”作为本文的题目,与文章主题相符合。故选D。

Plastic is used for food packaging(包装) and water bottles as well as many other things you use every day. Look around, plastic is all over! Sadly, much of plastic waste is thrown into waste lands or washed into the sea, breaking down into particles. Particles are often taken in by animals or fish. Unless you are the one who only eats vegetables, it is highly likely that you are also eating this plastic. Besides, when you drink soft drinks from a plastic bottle, you also have the danger of drinking a dangerous chemical. It has been proved that plastic is connected with some types of diseases and young children’s growth.
A plastic bottle can break down into enough small pieces on each seaside in the whole world. They have also been discovered to collect in large amount in sea locations where winds and currents(洋流) are weak.
How do you help to solve the problem? Use a stainless steel(不锈钢) bottle. It is an obvious way to deal with the problem that has been ignored for many years. Many countries become increasingly more familiar with the pollution that is damaging the environment. It’s easy to understand why steps are being taken to discover things to replace the plastic.
If you use a stainless steel water bottle, you can help cut the number of using plastic bottles, which are thrown away and break down gradually. It may even take 1000 years to fade away. In a word, even by doing something as small as changing your water bottle to a stainless steel one, you could make the world a better place to live for future generations.
12. What does the underlined word “particles” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Tiny pieces of plastic. B. Healthy drinks to humans.
C New bottles. D. Useful materials.
13. What bad influence do plastic products have on people according to the text?
A. They change people’s eating habits.
B. They affect people’s ways of choosing food.
C. They change people’s attitudes to soft drinks.
D. They may make people suffer from some kinds of diseases.
14. Which of the following does the author want to express?
A. Winds in the sea are often weak in some seasons.
B. Chemicals of animals in the sea are easy to collect.
C. Many countries are suffering the pollution of plastic.
D. Plastic will completely be replaced by other things in the future.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A major use of plastic bottles.
B. A large amount of plastic on the seaside.
C. The future development of plastic bottles.
D. The bad influence of plastic bottles and its solution.
【答案】12 A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了塑料瓶的不良影响及解决办法,塑料瓶是一种难以降解的物质,对人体有害且污染环境,因此我们应该用不锈钢水瓶,既对人体好,又能保护环境。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。由第一段中的“Sadly, much of plastic waste is thrown into waste lands or washed into the sea, breaking down into particles.”(可悲的是,许多塑料垃圾被扔进荒地或被冲入海中,分解成颗粒。)和第一段中的“Unless you are the one who only eats vegetables, it is highly likely that you are also eating this plastic.”(除非你是那个只吃蔬菜的人,否则很可能你也在吃这种塑料。),可知被扔进荒地或被冲入海中的塑料垃圾会分解成塑料碎片被人吃下去,所以particles在本句中意为“塑料碎片”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句“It has been proved that plastic is connected with some types of diseases and young children’s growth.”(事实证明,塑料与某些疾病和幼儿的成长有关。),可知塑料产品也许会导致人生病。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“A plastic bottle can break down into enough small pieces on each seaside in the whole world.”(一个塑料瓶在全世界的每个海边都能分解成足够多的小块。)和倒数第二段中的“Many countries become increasingly more familiar with the pollution that is damaging the environment. It’s easy to understand why steps are being taken to discover things to replace the plastic.”(许多国家越来越熟悉正在破坏环境的污染,人们很容易理解为什么要采取措施来发现替代塑料的东西。),可推理出许多国家正在遭受塑料的污染。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Besides, when you drink soft drinks from a plastic bottle, you also have the danger of drinking a dangerous chemical. It has been proved that plastic is connected with some types of diseases and young children’s growth.”(此外,当你用塑料瓶喝软饮料时,你也有喝危险化学品的危险。事实证明,塑料与某些疾病和幼儿的成长有关。),第三段中的“How do you help to solve the problem? Use a stainless steel bottle.”(你如何帮助解决这个问题?使用不锈钢瓶。)和最后一段中的“It may even take 1000 years to fade away.”(它甚至可能需要1000年才能消失。),可知本文讲的是塑料瓶的不良影响及解决办法。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了中国女科学家屠呦呦的生平事迹以及她发现青蒿素对疟疾治疗的重要贡献。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:她开始谈论救命的药物青蒿素,这是她在20世纪70年代在她的团队的帮助下发现的。with the help of是固定短语,意为“在……的帮助下”,因此空格处用介词with,故填with。
【37题详解】
考查不定式和被动语态。句意:这位女士就是屠呦呦,她是第一位因其工作而获得诺贝尔奖的中国女科学家。Chinese female scientist前有序数词,空格处用不定式作后置定语,屠呦呦是被授予诺贝尔奖,因此空格处用不定式的被动语态to be awarded。故填to be awarded。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意:她在北京大学医学部学医。句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填studied。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:后来,她跟随该领域的专家学习了两年半的中医,对传统习俗有了深入的了解。空格处是“介词+whom/which”引导的限制性定语从句,先行词experts是人,因此空格处用whom,故填whom。
【40题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:1969年,屠呦呦被选中组建一个团队,寻找疟疾的治疗方法。疟疾每年夺去数百万人的生命。由In 1969可知,句子描述过去的事情,屠呦呦是被选中,因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态was/were done,主语Tu Youyou是单数,因此空格处是was chosen。故填was chosen。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:1969年,屠呦呦被选中组建一个团队,寻找疟疾的治疗方法。疟疾每年夺去数百万人的生命。millions of是固定短语,意为“数百万的”,因此空格处是millions。故填millions。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,屠呦呦有一个想法,中草药可能藏有这个秘密。idea是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,idea是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她研究了数百种与抗疟疾疗法有关的传统配方。句中谓语是researched,空格处用非谓语动词,traditional recipes和connect之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填connected。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:他们克服了许多困难,最后屠呦呦勇敢地自愿成为第一个人体受试者,试验取得了成功。空格处用副词修饰动词volunteered,brave的副词是bravely,意为“勇敢地”。故填bravely。
【45题详解】
考查最高级。句意:他们发现的药物,青蒿素,现在已经成为世界上对抗疟疾最有效的药物。根据语境可知,句子表示“青蒿素现在已经成为世界上对抗疟疾最有效的药物”,空格处意为“最有效的”,用最高级most effective。故填most effective。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Learning English Beyond the Classroom
There are many things we can do to learn English well. Recently a survey about how to learn English beyond the classroom has been conducted. As can be clearly seen from the statistics, appreciating English songs accounts for 65 percent compared with 50% who choose to watch movies as a way of English learning. Reading English books prove to be the less popular ways making up 18%, together with visiting English learning websites, taking up 12% .
It turns out that students attach greater importance to interest and entertainment instead of traditional approaches such as reading books when learning English.
However, from my point of view, what benefits students most is reading English books, for it is one of the best ways to increase vocabulary and to strengthen the understanding of grammar. Therefore, students become best English learners quickly.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

The children said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mother hugged them tightly and kissed them again and again.
