The first job was as a receptionist (接待员) at a company that sold knives, and I got into the job so completely that I no longer had a life outside work. I was so desperate (不顾一切的) not to lose the job that I tried my best to be the best employee there ever was. I would come in at 6 am. Sometimes I wouldn’t leave until 11 at night. Not only was I afraid of getting fired, but also I was avoiding being at home. I was living in an apartment with people I hated, so I spent all my time at work. And sometimes my boss asked me to lie to customers. I hated to do so. And soon my boss told me all his problems. I listened and offered whatever advice I could. It made me feel needed and useful. I didn’t like the sleepless nights. I worried not only about my own problems but also about my boss’s as well. Even when my work started to suffer because of the stress, I couldn’t tell my boss that I needed a break. Well, as you can imagine, I was working too much. It didn’t take long for me to pass out (昏倒) one night. And I had to stay in hospital and I was fired because my boss said I couldn’t handle the job’s pressure. 1. What was the author’s first job? A. A knife seller. B An office cleaner. C. A receptionist. D. An adviser. 2. What lesson may the author learn from his first job? A. It’s common for the boss to be indifferent. B. It’s necessary to lie to customers. C. It’s wrong to help his boss roundly. D. It’s important not to let work be the whole life. 3. What could be the best title for this text? A. My first job B. My first boss C. My work experience D. My eight jobs 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的第一份工作经历及其教训。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first job was as a receptionist(接待员)”（第一份工作是接待员）可知，作者的第一份工作是接待员。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I was so desperate(不顾一切的)not to lose the job that I tried my best to be the best employee there ever was.”（我不顾一切地工作，希望不要失去工作，努力成为那里最好的员工）并根据最后一段“Well, as you can imagine, I was working too much. It didn’t take long for me to pass out(昏倒)one night. And I had to stay in hospital and I was fired because my boss said I couldn’t handle the job’s pressure.”（你可以想象，我工作太忙了。一天晚上没过多久我就昏倒了。我不得不住院，我被解雇了，因为我的老板说我无法承受工作的压力。）可知，作者在第一份工作中投入了太多时间和精力，甚至影响了健康，最终被解雇。因此，作者可能从中学到的教训是不要让工作成为生活的全部。故选D。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“I was so desperate(不顾一切的)not to lose the job that I tried my best to be the best employee there ever was.”（我不顾一切地工作，希望不要失去工作，努力成为那里最好的员工）并根据最后一段“Well, as you can imagine, I was working too much. It didn’t take long for me to pass out(昏倒)one night. And I had to stay in hospital and I was fired because my boss said I couldn’t handle the job’s pressure.”（你可以想象，我工作太忙了。一天晚上没过多久我就昏倒了。我不得不住院，我被解雇了，因为我的老板说我无法承受工作的压力。）可知，文章主要讲述了作者的第一份工作经历及其教训，因此最佳标题是“我的第一份工作”。故选A。 B In the cartoon Tom and Jerry, Tom tries his best to kill Jerry, and Jerry keeps finding ways to escape. Both Tom and Jerry have their own challenges but they were born to never give up. Here are four life lessons we can learn from these two cartoon characters. We fight with our nearest and dearest ones because we feel it is our right. Well, it doesn’t really matter how many times we fight; what matters is: Do we provide them with a sense of security (安全感) in the face of danger? Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel upset? Do we share our happiness in life? If you are witty, then your size does not matter at all. A weak one might get frightened for a moment, but he can win over the strongest with his wisdom. Jerry just makes the best use of his brain and wins. If you ever feel lost, disappointed or weak, return to yourself and try to discover your strength. “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” At times, your best friend might behave rudely or seem to be your greatest enemy. It’s not the time to express your anger and prove him or her wrong. It is quite likely that your friend expects you to be wiser in difficult situations and wants you to admit your mistakes. Love is expressed in a variety of ways. Be prepared to face difficulties even if you have had enough. There is an old saying,“Every difficulty is a chance!” Be prepared and let them come and get you annoyed; they will make you stronger and wiser as a person. 4. What can we learn from the cartoon characters according to Paragraph 2? A. Always be there for our friends when they need us. B. The nearest and dearest friends may be enemies. C. Fight with the nearest and dearest friends. D. Without friends, we can do nothing at all. 5. What does the underlined word “witty” in Paragraph 3 probably mean A. Strong. B. Wise. C. Confident. D. Hopeful. 6. What should you do if your best friend behaves rudely to you? A. Show your anger to him or her. B. Try to prove him or her wrong. C. See it as a way of expressing love. D. Regard him or her as your greatest enemy. 7. What does the old saying in the last paragraph tell us? A. Becoming confident in solving all problems. B. Seeing how wise we can be in the face of challenges. C. Taking the chance to find our best and true friends. D. Making use of every difficulty to improve ourselves 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了动画片《猫和老鼠》告诉了我们四条人生经验。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Do we provide them with a sense of security(安全感)in the face of danger? Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel upset? Do we share our happiness in life? (我们是否在危险面前给了他们安全感?在他们需要我们时，我们会伸出援手吗？或者在他们感到沮丧时，我们会陪伴他们吗？我们分享生活中快乐吗?)”可知，我们从卡通人物身上学到的第一个经验教训是：我们应该在朋友需要我们的时候给予他们支持和安全感。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“then your size does not matter at all(你的个头根本不重要)”以及“A weak one might get frightened for a moment, but he can win over the strongest with his wisdom.(一个弱者可能会被吓到片刻，但他可以用自己的智慧打败最强壮的人)”可知，一个弱者可能会害怕一会儿，但他可以用他的智慧打败最强大的人，所以如果你很机智聪明，那么你的身高根本不重要。故划线词意思是“智慧的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“At times, your best friend might behave rudely or seem to be your greatest enemy. It’s not the time to express your anger and prove him or her wrong. It is quite likely that your friend expects you to be wiser in difficult situations and wants you to admit your mistakes. Love is expressed in a variety of ways.(有时候，你最好的朋友可能会表现得很粗鲁，或者看起来是你最大的敌人。这不是表达你的愤怒和证明他或她错的时候。很有可能你的朋友希望你在困难的情况下更明智，希望你承认自己的错误。爱的表达方式多种多样)”可知，如果你最好的朋友对你很粗鲁，你应该把它想象成一种表达爱的方式。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Be prepared to face difficulties even if you have had enough. There is an old saying,“Every difficulty is a chance!” Be prepared and let them come and get you annoyed; they will make you stronger and wiser as a person. （即使你已经受够了，也要准备好面对困难。有句老话说:“每一个困难都是一个机会!”做好准备，让他们来烦你吧；它们会让你变得更坚强、更聪明。)”可推知，老话“每一个困难都是一个机会!是告诉我们应该利用一切困难来提高自己。故选D。 C Every Friday afternoon, the student goes to the Career Clothing Closet for an hour-long open house event. Soon, Lattimore 124 was full of students admiring the clothing, and there was excited chatter from the sound of friends helping each other decide what pieces to take. The Career Clothing Closet offers a diverse and great selection which includes: blouses, button-down shirts, skirts and jewelry in all colors, shapes and sizes. Everything here is completely free. But where do all of the items come from? How is the Greene Center from the University of Rochester able to give them away,free of charge? According to Jodyi Wren,Executive Director and Assistant Dean of the Greene Center, andChristina Pero, the Employer and Alumni Experiences Manager, the Career Clothing Closet is completely donation based, with many board members, staff, and the university community members providing contributions. The Career Clothing Closet is relatively new to this university-previous Executive Director Joe Testani gave the first advertisement for the program, and the closet opened its doors in April 2019. Between those two events, a lot of behind the scenes work had to occur to bring the concept to life. For Peroher job required in-depth research on how to carry out the program, as well as securing the physical space on campus and marketing the program to potential donors. According to Wren and Pero,almost 300students have used the closet’s resources since its start! The University of Rochester is certainly not the only college that has a program like this. Pero explained that a lot of schools would have a very small supply of clothing, but the closet is unique in its variety of clothing, its dressing rooms and the fact that students are allowed to keep the clothes. The Greene Center has many other opportunities to offer besides the Career Clothing Closet and advising services. For example, there is funding for students to be able to take on opportunities related to career growth. 8. What do students do in the open house event? A. Choosing clothes. B. Donating clothes. C. Designing clothes. D. Admiring the clothes. 9. What do we know about the Career Clothing Closet? A. It offers a variety of clothes. B. Its items are charged by value. C. Its items are made of special materials. D. It is an old tradition for the university. 10. What does Pero think of the Career Clothing Closet? A. It develops simply. B. It looks common and dated. C. It’s still a concept now. D. It’s special and popular. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A clothes-sharing activity becomes popular B. A university encourages students to donate clothes C. The Greene Center offers many opportunities to students D. The Greene Center holds the Career Clothing Closet open house 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Greene Center举办的Career Clothing Closet开放日活动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容“there was excited chatter from the sound of friends helping each other decide what pieces to take”（朋友们互相帮助决定选穿什么样的衣服引起了一阵兴奋的闲聊）可知，学生们在开放日活动中选择衣服。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Career Clothing Closet offers a diverse and great selection which includes: blouses, button-down shirts, skirts and jewelry in all colors, shapes and sizes”（Career Clothing Closet提供了多种多样的选择，包括：衬衫，纽扣衬衫，裙子和各种颜色，各种形状和尺寸的珠宝）以及倒数第二段“Pero explained that a lot of schools would have a very small supply of clothing, but the closet is unique in its variety of clothing”（佩罗解释说，很多学校的衣服供应很少，这个衣橱的独特之处在于它有各种各样的衣服）可知，Career Clothing Closet提供各种各样的衣服。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Pero explained that a lot of schools would have a very small supply of clothing, but the closet is unique in its variety of clothing, its dressing rooms and the fact that students are allowed to keep the clothes.”（佩罗解释说，很多学校的衣服供应都非常少，但这个衣橱的独特之处在于它有各种各样的衣服，有更衣室，而且学生可以自己留着衣服。）可知，Pero认为Career Clothing Closet是特别且受欢迎的。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容。根据第一段“Every Friday afternoon, the student goes to the Career Clothing Closet for an hour-long open house event. ”（每周五下午，学生都会去Career Clothing Closet参加一个小时的开放日活动。）最后一段“The Greene Center has many other opportunities to offer besides the Career Clothing Closet and advising services.”（格林中心除了提供Career Clothing Closet和咨询服务外，还有许多其他的机会。）可知，文章主要介绍了Greene Center举办的Career Clothing Closet开放日活动。D项符合主题，故选D。 D An experiment in Botswana suggests that painting eyes on the rear ends (臀部) of cows may help protect them from large animals like lions. Protecting cows could also in turn protect the lions from farmers. Large predators (食肉动物) like lions are under pressure. Much of the land they used to live in has been taken over by humans. Many are even hunted. One serious threat to large predators comes from farmers, who often shoot or poison them after losing farm animals to their attacks. This has long been a problem in the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is an area where the Okavango River empties out. With its waters spreading out over thousands of square miles, the area is an important location for various wildlife. In the area, there are many small farms, with between 6 and 100 cows. Lions are the biggest threat to cows in the area. Scientists from the University of New South Wales wondered if painting pictures of eyes on the cows’ rear ends might protect them. Working with over 2,000 cows in the Okavango area, the scientists tested their ideas in a four-year study. The researchers separated the cows into three groups. They painted large eyes on the rear ends of one group of cows. The second group got simple Xs. The final group got nothing.The eyes worked well. Of the 683 cows with eyes painted on them, none were killed in the four-year period.Fifteen of the 835 cows with nothing on their backsides were killed. The scientists were surprised to learn even Xs seemed to give the cows protection. Only 4 of the 543 cows with Xs were killed. Though the results show a simple way to protect cows from lions, the scientists pointed out that the method may have weaknesses. The researchers aren’t sure the fake (假的) eyes would work so well if all of the cows had them. Also, over time, predators might learn to ignore fake eyes. Still, for now, it seems like a cheap way to protect cows in the area. 12. What is the biggest possible benefit of proecting cows? A. Improving farmers’life quality. B. Balancing the local ecosystem. C. Controlling the number of predators. D. Saving lions from environmental pollution. 13. Why is the Okavango Delta described in detail? A. To draw attention to cows’ safety. B. To introduce possible threats to cows. C. To give the reason for choosing this place. D. To show the problem of the location. 14. What finding came as a surprise to the scientists? A. Cows’ eyes could scare lions away. B. Xs could protect cows from lions too. C Many of the cows with Xs were killed. D. Some cows with nothing on backsides were killed. 15. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Cows can be protected from lions B. Fake eyes protect cows from lions C. Fake eyes are used to protect animals D. Animals are closely related to each other 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在博茨瓦纳进行的一项实验，即在奶牛的臀部画上眼睛，以保护它们免受狮子等大型动物的攻击。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“An experiment in Botswana suggests that painting eyes on the rear ends (臀部) of cows may help protect them from large animals like lions. Protecting cows could also in turn protect the lions from farmers.(博茨瓦纳的一项实验表明，在奶牛的臀部画上眼睛可能有助于保护它们免受狮子等大型动物的攻击。保护奶牛反过来也可以保护狮子免受农民的威胁。)”可推知，保护奶牛的最大可能好处是平衡当地的生态系统。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The Okavango Delta is an area where the Okavango River empties out. With its waters spreading out over thousands of square miles, the area is an important location for various wildlife. In the area, there are many small farms, with between 6 and 100 cows. Lions are the biggest threat to cows in the area.(奥卡万戈三角洲是奥卡万戈河流经的地区。该地区水域辽阔，绵延数千平方英里，是各种野生动物的重要栖息地。该地区有许多小农场，每个农场有6到100头奶牛不等。狮子是该地区奶牛面临的最大威胁。)”可知，第三段提到了Okavango Delta是一个重要的野生动物栖息地，也是许多小农场的所在地，狮子是奶牛的主要威胁。因此，详细描述Okavango Delta是为了解释为什么选择这个地方进行实验，即为了研究如何保护奶牛免受狮子的威胁。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The scientists were surprised to learn even Xs seemed to give the cows protection.(科学家们惊讶地发现，即使是画有X的奶牛似乎也得到了保护。)”可知，X也能保护奶牛免受狮子的攻击。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，尤其是最后一段“Though the results show a simple way to protect cows from lions, the scientists pointed out that the method may have weaknesses. The researchers aren’t sure the fake (假的) eyes would work so well if all of the cows had them. Also, over time, predators might learn to ignore fake eyes. Still, for now, it seems like a cheap way to protect cows in the area.(尽管研究结果显示了一种保护奶牛免受狮子伤害的简单方法，但科学家们指出，这种方法可能存在弱点。研究人员不确定如果所有的奶牛都画上假眼睛，假眼睛是否会如此有效。而且，随着时间的推移，捕食者可能会学会忽略假眼睛。不过，就目前而言，这似乎是一种保护该地区奶牛的廉价方法。)”可知文章主要讲述了在博茨瓦纳进行的一项实验，即在奶牛的臀部画上眼睛，以保护它们免受狮子等大型动物的攻击。因此，B项：Fake eyes protect cows from lions（假眼睛保护奶牛免受狮子攻击）这个标题简洁明了地概括了文章的主要内容。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning a new language can be a tough challenge at any age, however it seems to be extremely difficult to get the hang of a foreign language as we age. This is because adults become a bit less adaptable than kids. ____16____ As adults, we’ve spent years developing a mind system that’s great at organizing information. This makes us really effective at learning new things, except for languages. ____17____ But that’s exactly what you need to do, because you’re literally learning another system. This is why it can seem easier for kids to learn a new language. But the good news is that it isn’t really that hard if you’re open to opening your mind! Firstly, it’s important to remember that learning a language is not really about learning a language. ____18____ Keeping that in mind can really help you achieve your goals. Try to connect with people you may know, or listen to podcasts and music in your target language, or read about the country’s history. Secondly, make learning a language enjoyable. Watching TV shows in another language is an excellent way to get used to hearing a foreign language spoken in real-time. ____19____ TV shows, films, podcasts and even video games are all great forms of entertainment for learning a new language. ____20____ While you are learning, be patient with yourself. Learn to love your progress and celebrate your success. The road to fluency can be hard, but the view along the way is really amazing, so it’s OK if you are driving slow. Don’t lose hope! You can master a foreign language sooner or later. A. Thirdly, patience is the key. B. Finally, don’t take it seriously. C. And we don’t just mean physically. D. It’s hard to break the rules of that system. E But it does take time to achieve your goals. F. Anything that exposes you to the language is great. G. What you’re actually learning is how to communicate in a new way. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了成年人学习新语言困难的原因，并就成年人如何学习新语言提出了建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Learning a new language can be a tough challenge at any age, however it seems to be extremely difficult to get the hang of a foreign language as we age. This is because adults become a bit less adaptable than kids.(学习一门新语言在任何年龄都是一项艰巨的挑战，然而随着年龄的增长，掌握一门外语的窍门似乎是极其困难的。这是因为成年人的适应能力比孩子要差一些)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，上文提到了学习外语很困难，因为成年人的适应能力比孩子要差一些，本句承接上文，继续说明适应能力差困难的原因，故C选项“我们指的不仅仅是身体上的”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“As adults, we’ve spent years developing a mind system that’s great at organizing information. This makes us really effective at learning new things, except for languages.(作为成年人，我们花了多年的时间来发展一个非常擅长组织信息的思维系统。这使得我们在学习新事物时非常有效，除了语言)”以及后文“But that’s exactly what you need to do, because you’re literally learning another system. This is why it can seem easier for kids to learn a new language. But the good news is that it isn’t really that hard if you’re open to opening your mind!(但这正是你需要做的，因为你实际上是在学习另一个系统。这就是为什么孩子们学习一门新语言似乎更容易。但好消息是，如果你愿意敞开心扉，这并不难！)”可知，后文与本句构成转折，推测本句是在说明成年人学习新语言困难的原因。故D选项“很难打破那个系统的规则”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Firstly, it’s important to remember that learning a language is not really about learning a language.(首先，重要的是要记住，学习一门语言并不是真正地学习一门语言)”可知，本句承接上文，说明学习一门语言的真正本质。故G选项“你实际上在学习的是如何以一种新的方式进行交流”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Secondly, make learning a language enjoyable. Watching TV shows in another language is an excellent way to get used to hearing a foreign language spoken in real-time.(第二，让学习语言变得愉快。看另一种语言的电视节目是一种很好的方式来习惯实时听到一门外语)”以及后文“TV shows, films, podcasts and even video games are all great forms of entertainment for learning a new language.(电视节目、电影、播客甚至电子游戏都是学习一门新语言的很好的娱乐形式)”可知，后文的例子表明，要多接触和语言相关的事物，故F选项“任何能让你接触到这门语言的事情都是很棒的”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据后文“While you are learning, be patient with yourself. Learn to love your progress and celebrate your success. The road to fluency can be hard, but the view along the way is really amazing, so it’s OK if you are driving slow. Don’t lose hope! You can master a foreign language sooner or later.(当你在学习的时候，对自己要有耐心。学会爱你的进步，庆祝你的成功。通往流利的道路可能很难，但沿途的风景真的很迷人，所以如果你开得慢一点也没关系。不要失去希望!你迟早会掌握一门外语的)”可知，本段为建议的最后一点，且后文提到了有耐心，A选项中patience对应后文be patient。故A选项“第三，耐心是关键”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15个小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “We’re all waiting for you at Port Miller Swimming Pool, Alison.

One photo of an adult dolphin in a tiny pool hardly wider than the length of its body swimming alone had us all crying. Mike explained how he had been studying the behavior of dolphins at Adelaide’s Port River for years. I hadn’t expected to be so drawn to dolphins, the subject of many of Mike’s lectures, but he was right when he told us: “Humans could learn a thing or two from dolphins.“ I had a not-so-happy childhood. I hoped that university would be the start of a new life for me, and one day, I approached Mike to ask if he would ever take me out to visit the dolphins. He agreed. Days later we took a dinghy (小艇) out onto the water and were putting along in silence when I saw a dolphin just a few feet away. Mike stopped the motor.” That’s Jock. He lives in this small part of the river.” Jock the dolphin circled the boat curiously.He had scars (伤疤) and nets on his body. He was alone and refused to join other dolphins who swam together.I thought he was like me. For almost three years, I visited Jock as often as I could. He’d dive beside me, allowing me to touch him. One time, he touched my feet.“What’s he doing?” I asked. “He thinks you’re in trouble,” Mike explained. My heart exploded knowing that this creature who could not speak seemed to be showing me he cared. Part of me was sad when Jock eventually swam off with the other dolphins, but I was also proud he’d shown the courage to do so. Leaving him and the river behind, I went on to get a job but was still unhappy. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Weeks passed and I was in low spirits, but I soon realsed I had to do something positive. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Recently, I’ve published my book, A Dolphin Called Jock. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Weeks passed and I was in low spirits, but I soon realised I had to do something positive. So,later that year, Mike and I formed the Australian Dolphin Research Foundation. We developed a program for people to sponsor a Port River dolphin and campaign for their well-being.Later, investigations were launched by the government to look into the death toll of local dolphins, which is still ongoing. Knowing I was doing something positive made my life more worthwhile. Recently, I’ve published my book, A Dolphin Called Jock. I want to tell his story and to share the trouble of local dolphins. Jock really did heal me. His boldness in venturing out of his comfort zone to connect with other dolphins taught me that courage is the most important quality in life. Despite my scars, when I smile now, it’s genuine. And for that I should be grateful to Jock. I believe we are sure to meet again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在情绪低落时遇到了处于相同境遇的海豚Jock，当Jock最终和其他海豚一起游走时，作者感到有些难过，但作者也为他表现出的勇气感到骄傲。作者离开了Jock和那片海，去找了份工作，但仍然不开心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几周过去了，我情绪低落，但我很快意识到我必须做一些积极的事情。”可知，第一段可描写作者与Mike成立了澳大利亚海豚研究基金会来保护海豚，这让作者生活更有价值。 ②由第二段首句内容“最近，我出版了我的书《一只叫Jock的海豚》。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过写书分享与Jock的故事以及作者的感悟。 2续写线索：做一些积极的事情——与Mike成立了基金会保护海豚——出版书籍——分享故事——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①调查：look ino /investigate ②相信：believe/have faith in ③发起，实施：launch/initiate ④建立：form/establish 情绪类 ①积极的：positive/active ②感激的：grateful/apprecaitive 【点睛】[高分句型1] Later, investigations were launched by the government to look into the death toll of local dolphins, which is still ongoing.

The first job was as a receptionist (接待员) at a company that sold knives, and I got into the job so completely that I no longer had a life outside work. I was so desperate (不顾一切的) not to lose the job that I tried my best to be the best employee there ever was. I would come in at 6 am. Sometimes I wouldn’t leave until 11 at night. Not only was I afraid of getting fired, but also I was avoiding being at home. I was living in an apartment with people I hated, so I spent all my time at work. And sometimes my boss asked me to lie to customers. I hated to do so. And soon my boss told me all his problems. I listened and offered whatever advice I could. It made me feel needed and useful. I didn’t like the sleepless nights. I worried not only about my own problems but also about my boss’s as well. Even when my work started to suffer because of the stress, I couldn’t tell my boss that I needed a break. Well, as you can imagine, I was working too much. It didn’t take long for me to pass out (昏倒) one night. And I had to stay in hospital and I was fired because my boss said I couldn’t handle the job’s pressure. 1. What was the author’s first job? A. A knife seller. B. An office cleaner. C. A receptionist. D An adviser. 2. What lesson may the author learn from his first job? A. It’s common for the boss to be indifferent. B. It’s necessary to lie to customers. C. It’s wrong to help his boss roundly. D. It’s important not to let work be the whole life. 3. What could be the best title for this text? A. My first job B. My first boss C. My work experience D. My eight jobs B In the cartoon Tom and Jerry, Tom tries his best to kill Jerry, and Jerry keeps finding ways to escape. Both Tom and Jerry have their own challenges but they were born to never give up. Here are four life lessons we can learn from these two cartoon characters. We fight with our nearest and dearest ones because we feel it is our right. Well, it doesn’t really matter how many times we fight; what matters is: Do we provide them with a sense of security (安全感) in the face of danger? Do we offer our shoulders when they are in need of us or stand by them when they feel upset? Do we share our happiness in life? If you are witty, then your size does not matter at all. A weak one might get frightened for a moment, but he can win over the strongest with his wisdom. Jerry just makes the best use of his brain and wins. If you ever feel lost, disappointed or weak, return to yourself and try to discover your strength. “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” At times, your best friend might behave rudely or seem to be your greatest enemy. It’s not the time to express your anger and prove him or her wrong. It is quite likely that your friend expects you to be wiser in difficult situations and wants you to admit your mistakes. Love is expressed in a variety of ways. Be prepared to face difficulties even if you have had enough. There is an old saying,“Every difficulty is a chance!” Be prepared and let them come and get you annoyed; they will make you stronger and wiser as a person. 4. What can we learn from the cartoon characters according to Paragraph 2? A. Always be there for our friends when they need us. B. The nearest and dearest friends may be enemies. C. Fight with the nearest and dearest friends. D. Without friends, we can do nothing at all. 5. What does the underlined word “witty” in Paragraph 3 probably mean A Strong. B. Wise. C. Confident. D. Hopeful. 6 What should you do if your best friend behaves rudely to you? A. Show your anger to him or her. B. Try to prove him or her wrong. C. See it as a way of expressing love. D. Regard him or her as your greatest enemy. 7. What does the old saying in the last paragraph tell us? A. Becoming confident in solving all problems. B. Seeing how wise we can be in the face of challenges. C. Taking the chance to find our best and true friends. D. Making use of every difficulty to improve ourselves C Every Friday afternoon, the student goes to the Career Clothing Closet for an hour-long open house event. Soon, Lattimore 124 was full of students admiring the clothing, and there was excited chatter from the sound of friends helping each other decide what pieces to take. The Career Clothing Closet offers a diverse and great selection which includes: blouses, button-down shirts, skirts and jewelry in all colors, shapes and sizes. Everything here is completely free. But where do all of the items come from? How is the Greene Center from the University of Rochester able to give them away,free of charge? According to Jodyi Wren,Executive Director and Assistant Dean of the Greene Center, andChristina Pero, the Employer and Alumni Experiences Manager, the Career Clothing Closet is completely donation based, with many board members, staff, and the university community members providing contributions. The Career Clothing Closet is relatively new to this university-previous Executive Director Joe Testani gave the first advertisement for the program, and the closet opened its doors in April 2019. Between those two events, a lot of behind the scenes work had to occur to bring the concept to life. For Pero,her job required in-depth research on how to carry out the program, as well as securing the physical space on campus and marketing the program to potential donors. According to Wren and Pero,almost 300students have used the closet’s resources since its start! The University of Rochester is certainly not the only college that has a program like this. Pero explained that a lot of schools would have a very small supply of clothing, but the closet is unique in its variety of clothing, its dressing rooms and the fact that students are allowed to keep the clothes. The Greene Center has many other opportunities to offer besides the Career Clothing Closet and advising services. For example, there is funding for students to be able to take on opportunities related to career growth. 8. What do students do in the open house event? A. Choosing clothes. B. Donating clothes. C. Designing clothes. D. Admiring the clothes. 9. What do we know about the Career Clothing Closet? A. It offers a variety of clothes. B. Its items are charged by value. C. Its items are made of special materials. D. It is an old tradition for the university. 10. What does Pero think of the Career Clothing Closet? A. It develops simply. B. It looks common and dated. C. It’s still a concept now. D. It’s special and popular. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A clothes-sharing activity becomes popular B. A university encourages students to donate clothes C. The Greene Center offers many opportunities to students D. The Greene Center holds the Career Clothing Closet open house D An experiment in Botswana suggests that painting eyes on the rear ends (臀部) of cows may help protect them from large animals like lions Protecting cows could also in turn protect the lions from farmers. Large predators (食肉动物) like lions are under pressure. Much of the land they used to live in has been taken over by humans. Many are even hunted. One serious threat to large predators comes from farmers, who often shoot or poison them after losing farm animals to their attacks. This has long been a problem in the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta is an area where the Okavango River empties out. With its waters spreading out over thousands of square miles, the area is an important location for various wildlife. In the area, there are many small farms, with between 6 and 100 cows. Lions are the biggest threat to cows in the area. Scientists from the University of New South Wales wondered if painting pictures of eyes on the cows’ rear ends might protect them. Working with over 2,000 cows in the Okavango area, the scientists tested their ideas in a four-year study. The researchers separated the cows into three groups. They painted large eyes on the rear ends of one group of cows. The second group got simple Xs. The final group got nothing.The eyes worked well. Of the 683 cows with eyes painted on them, none were killed in the four-year period.Fifteen of the 835 cows with nothing on their backsides were killed. The scientists were surprised to learn even Xs seemed to give the cows protection. Only 4 of the 543 cows with Xs were killed. Though the results show a simple way to protect cows from lions, the scientists pointed out that the method may have weaknesses. The researchers aren’t sure the fake (假的) eyes would work so well if all of the cows had them. Also, over time, predators might learn to ignore fake eyes. Still, for now, it seems like a cheap way to protect cows in the area. 12. What is the biggest possible benefit of proecting cows? A. Improving farmers’life quality. B. Balancing the local ecosystem. C. Controlling the number of predators. D. Saving lions from environmental pollution. 13. Why is the Okavango Delta described in detail? A. To draw attention to cows’ safety. B. To introduce possible threats to cows. C. To give the reason for choosing this place. D. To show the problem of the location. 14. What finding came as a surprise to the scientists? A. Cows’ eyes could scare lions away. B. Xs could protect cows from lions too. C. Many of the cows with Xs were killed. D. Some cows with nothing on backsides were killed. 15. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Cows can be protected from lions B. Fake eyes protect cows from lions C. Fake eyes are used to protect animals D. Animals are closely related to each other 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning a new language can be a tough challenge at any age, however it seems to be extremely difficult to get the hang of a foreign language as we age. This is because adults become a bit less adaptable than kids. ____16____ As adults we’ve spent years developing a mind system that’s great at organizing information. This makes us really effective at learning new things, except for languages. ____17____ But that’s exactly what you need to do, because you’re literally learning another system. This is why it can seem easier for kids to learn a new language. But the good news is that it isn’t really that hard if you’re open to opening your mind! Firstly, it’s important to remember that learning a language is not really about learning a language. ____18____ Keeping that in mind can really help you achieve your goals.

One photo of an adult dolphin in a tiny pool hardly wider than the length of its body swimming alone had us all crying. Mike explained how he had been studying the behavior of dolphins at Adelaide’s Port River for years. I hadn’t expected to be so drawn to dolphins, the subject of many of Mike’s lectures, but he was right when he told us: “Humans could learn a thing or two from dolphins.“ I had a not-so-happy childhood. I hoped that university would be the start of a new life for me, and one day, I approached Mike to ask if he would ever take me out to visit the dolphins. He agreed. Days later we took a dinghy (小艇) out onto the water and were putting along in silence when I saw a dolphin just a few feet away. Mike stopped the motor.” That’s Jock. He lives in this small part of the river.” Jock the dolphin circled the boat curiously.He had scars (伤疤) and nets on his body. He was alone and refused to join other dolphins who swam together.I thought he was like me. For almost three years, I visited Jock as often as I could. He’d dive beside me, allowing me to touch him. One time, he touched my feet.“What’s he doing?” I asked. “He thinks you’re in trouble,” Mike explained. My heart exploded knowing that this creature who could not speak seemed to be showing me he cared. Part of me was sad when Jock eventually swam off with the other dolphins, but I was also proud he’d shown the courage to do so. Leaving him and the river behind, I went on to get a job but was still unhappy. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Weeks passed and I was in low spirits, but I soon realsed I had to do something positive. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Recently, I’ve published my book, A Dolphin Called Jock. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CBAAB 6-10 BAABB 11-15 CBCBC 16-20 BACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
