Staten Island’s Fresh-kills, once a dumping ground (垃圾倾倒场) for New Yorkers, is now a breathtaking park. The first part was opened to the public in October. With its grassland, hills and waterways offering hiking and superb bird-watching, this is a great example of urban habitat restoration.
Fresh-kills, known for its stench, was in operation for 53 years. Locals used to avoid the place and had to hold their breath when they passed by. It was the world’s largest dumping ground and was so huge that it could be seen from outer space. Fresh-kills was closed 22 years ago, and 21 acres of it were opened in mid-October.
“I’m happy to see that this area has become a new green space. It is a home for local plants and animals and gives the residents of Staten Island a place to be outdoors, exercise and breathe fresh air. The newly opened park features walking paths, hiking trails, seven acres of native seed plots, a bird-observation tower, and a deck that overlooks the hills, grassland and waterways,” says a local called Adams. “I used to avoid approaching the place, but now I’m looking forward to exploring it.”
This project is entirely focused on environmental management. Solar panels provide lighting in the parking lot and restrooms, while the toilets are composting (堆肥), returning waste to soil. A complex system was used to decompose the landfill waste and to protect the new topsoil. There are also plans to reuse the gas and liquid byproducts of the decomposing waste. There was once 29,000 tons of trash dumped daily at Fresh-kills. Today, the site is totally transformed, home to 1,000 acres of grassland habitat that was seeded with native grass mix. This is attracting many birds that have not been seen for years. Locals will come to Freshkills to relax and connect with nature.
4. What does the underlined word “stench” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Fresh air.
B. Breathtaking scenery.
C. Abandoned grassland.
D. Unpleasant smell.
5. What does Adams think of current Fresh-kills?
A. Unapproachable.
B. Attractive.
C. Crowded.
D. Dirty.
6. What can we know about the way to manage the park?
A. It is simple and easy.
B. It has caused much waste.
C. It is environment-friendly.
D. It is strongly opposed by the locals.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a transformed place.
B. To tell the history of a dumping ground.
C. To promote the local tourism.
D. To encourage readers to get close to nature.

It is generally assumed that humans are the only species that deal with the persistence (持续存在) of memory and the ability to remember friends and loved ones even if one has not seen then fora long period of time. But humans may not be alone. New research has shown that apes (类人猿) also recognize their friends even when they have not seen them in years.
Lead researcher Dr. Christopher Krupenye created this research due to his sense over the many years when he worked with apes that individual chimpanzees or bonobos recognized him even if they hadn’t seen him for some time.
“You have the impression that they’re responding like they recognize you and that to them you’re really different from the average zoo guest,” Krupenye said. “They’re excited to see you again. So our goal with this study was to ask: Do they really have a lasting memory for familiar social partners?”
In order to test whether apes remember their friends, the researchers printed photos of chimpanzees and bonobos who had died or left zoos in Edinburgh, Scotland, Belgium and Japan. Then they showed those photos of the participating animals’ former group mates alongside photos of strange apes to the participating animals at the zoos. Using eye-tracking technology, the researchers were able to confirm that the apes spent more time looking at their friends than they did at the apes they were not familiar with.
The research team believes that apes’ long-term social memory can stretch back at least 26 years. Additionally, they believe that this may indicate that like humans, chimpanzees and bonobos can miss their friends and families.
Whatever the case, it is clear that this study shows that apes are more similar to humans than previously thought. So the next time you visit the zoo, take some time to befriend your local chimpanzees and bonobos. They may just remember you for many years to come.
8. What led Krupenye to do the research?
A. His years of work with apes.
B. His experience of visiting zoos.
C. His impression of a dying ape.
D. His relationship with zoo guests.
9. What did the researchers do to the participating animals?
A. They had them look at photos of other apes.
B. They used technology to improve their eyesight.
C. They allowed them to play with their former mates.
D. They asked them to live with strange apes for some time.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Some similarities between humans and apes.
B. The research team’s expectations of the study.
C. Some tips on interacting with apes in the zoo.
D. The researchers’ conclusions from the research.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Apes Tend to Prefer Their Old Friends
B. Humans Can Make Friends With Apes
C. Apes Remember Their Friends As Well
D. Humans Are Quite Different From Apes
D
A brain implant allowed people with head injuries to function again. The deep brain stimulation implant, developed by researchers at Stanford University, aims to boost activity between the regions responsible for consciousness learning, memory, thinking and problem solving.
During the early trial, five people with brain injuries reported they were able to concentrate, read, remember and drive properly. The trial proved so effective that researchers had trouble completing the final stage, which was to switch off the device for three random participants after two of the patients declined.
Gina Arata, a trial participant, said, “I couldn’t remember anything. My left foot dropped, so I’d trip over things all the time. I was always in car accidents. Since the implant, I haven’t had any speeding tickets. I don’t trip anymore. I can remember how much money is in my bank account.”
Researchers selected patients for the trial who had recovered from comas (昏迷) with brain systems believed to be still well preserved, but not functioning as well as previously. “In these patients, those pathways are largely complete, but everything has been down-regulated (下降),” said Dr Jaimie Henderson, a professor of neurosurgery. “It’s as if the lights had been darkened and there just wasn’t enough electricity to turn them back up.” The researchers hoped that precise electrical stimulation of specific areas could turn the “lights” back up, and created a virtual model of each participant’s brain so they could trial stimulation at different locations ahead of surgery.
Guided by the theory, Dr Henderson implanted the device in the five participants who had sustained injuries between three and 18 years earlier. After allowing the device to bed-in for two weeks, the participants spent 90 days with it turned on for 12 hours a day. At the end of the 90-day treatment period, the participants had improved their mental processing speeds by an average of 32 percent.
“This is a pioneering moment,” said Dr Nicholas Schiff, co-senior author of the study. “Our goal now is to try to take the systematic steps to make this a therapy (疗法). This is enough of a signal for us to make every effort.”
12. What made it hard to end the last stage of the trial?
A. Researchers’ wrong solution to problems.
B. Participants’ refusal to turn off the device.
C. The decrease in the number of participants.
D. Patients’ unwillingness to pay for the trial.
13. Why does the author mention Gina Arata?
A. To present the patient’s urgent need.
B. To warn about the dangers of speeding.
C. To prove the effectiveness of the device.
D. To show the difficulty of conducting trials.
14. What does the author intend to do by referring to the “lights” in paragraph 4?
A. Prove a finding.
B. Explain a theory.
C. Draw a conclusion.
D. Present a new topic.
15. What do Dr Nicholas Schiff’s words suggest?
A. The result of the trial is very encouraging.
B. He needs more evidence to support the trial.
C. The process of the trial is far from scientific.
D. The therapy has already been widely received.

It was Mr. Morgan’s first day as a senior high school teacher. As a young first- time teacher, Mr. Morgan was determined to establish himself as strict but fair.
As he launched into the lecture, the classroom door suddenly was opened. A boy walked in. “You’re 20 minutes late. Could you introduce yourself?” Mr. Morgan said.
“I’m Archie,” replied the boy, rubbing his tired eyes. Archie looked very untidy, as though he hadn’t slept well. He added, “I’m sorry. I overslept. I didn’t mean to come in late. I was just tired.”
As Mr. Morgan saw Archie’s notebook, his expression grew uneasy. “You didn’t do your homework.” He scolded (责骂) the boy in front of the whole class. “This is unacceptable. I want to meet your parents tomorrow.”
But Archie never showed up in class the following day, and Mr. Morgan started to worry. As he prepared to leave after class, he noticed an elderly woman waiting outside the classroom.
“I’m Archie’s grandmother,” the woman said. “My grandson was a little sick, so I told him not to go to school... Archie told me you wanted to meet his parents. So, what do you want to discuss?”
Mr. Morgan replied, “I’m worried about his recent behavior in class. He hasn’t done his homework, and I’ve heard he is always late for class.” To Mr. Morgan’s surprise, Archie’s grandmother didn’t think it was something serious.
That same evening, Morgan drove to Archie’s address but only saw Archie’s grandmother. “I was just passing by and thought I’d meet Archie. Can I see him?” he carefully asked. Archie’s grandmother stammered (结结巴巴地说), “Archie has gone to get some medicine. Besides, I’ve got a lot of work to do. I should start cleaning, so if you don’t mind...” Mr. Morgan understood talking to Archie’s grandmother would be useless, so he left the house.
As he headed back, he ran into Archie. The boy was dirty and tired. Archie looked up at Mr. Morgan, his eyes wide open with fear and embarrassment. “Mr. Morgan... please don’t come here again. I’m tired, and I have to wash up.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mr. Morgan knew Archie was hiding something and asked him to speak it out.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before Archie finished his words, Mr. Morgan hugged the little boy tightly.

Staten Island’s Fresh-kills, once a dumping ground (垃圾倾倒场) for New Yorkers, is now a breathtaking park. The first part was opened to the public in October. With its grassland, hills and waterways offering hiking and superb bird-watching, this is a great example of urban habitat restoration.
Fresh-kills, known for its stench, was in operation for 53 years. Locals used to avoid the place and had to hold their breath when they passed by. It was the world’s largest dumping ground and was so huge that it could be seen from outer space. Fresh-kills was closed 22 years ago, and 21 acres of it were opened in mid-October.
“I’m happy to see that this area has become a new green space. It is a home for local plants and animals and gives the residents of Staten Island a place to be outdoors, exercise and breathe fresh air. The newly opened park features walking paths, hiking trails, seven acres of native seed plots, a bird-observation tower, and a deck that overlooks the hills, grassland and waterways,” says a local called Adams. “I used to avoid approaching the place, but now I’m looking forward to exploring it.”
This project is entirely focused on environmental management. Solar panels provide lighting in the parking lot and restrooms, while the toilets are composting (堆肥), returning waste to soil. A complex system was used to decompose the landfill waste and to protect the new topsoil. There are also plans to reuse the gas and liquid byproducts of the decomposing waste. There was once 29,000 tons of trash dumped daily at Fresh-kills. Today, the site is totally transformed, home to 1,000 acres of grassland habitat that was seeded with native grass mix. This is attracting many birds that have not been seen for years. Locals will come to Freshkills to relax and connect with nature.
4. What does the underlined word “stench” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Fresh air.
B Breathtaking scenery.
C. Abandoned grassland.
D. Unpleasant smell.
5. What does Adams think of current Fresh-kills?
A. Unapproachable.
B. Attractive.
C. Crowded.
D. Dirty.
6. What can we know about the way to manage the park?
A. It is simple and easy.
B. It has caused much waste.
C. It is environment-friendly.
D. It is strongly opposed by the locals.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a transformed place.
B. To tell the history of a dumping ground.
C. To promote the local tourism.
D. To encourage readers to get close to nature.
【答案】4 D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是一个垃圾倾倒场被改造成了一个公园。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后“Locals used to avoid the place and had to hold their breath when they passed by.(当地人过去常常避开这个地方,当他们经过的时候不得不屏住呼吸。)”可推断,Fresh-kills很臭,以臭著称,划线词stench意为“恶臭”,和unpleasant smell意思相近。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I used to avoid approaching the place, but now I’m looking forward to exploring it.(我过去常常避免接近这个地方,但现在我期待着探索它。)”可推断,Adams认为目前的Fresh-kills很有吸引力。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“This project is entirely focused on environmental management. Solar panels provide lighting in the parking lot and restrooms, while the toilets are composting (堆肥), returning waste to soil. A complex system was used to decompose the landfill waste and to protect the new topsoil. There are also plans to reuse the gas and liquid byproducts of the decomposing waste.(这个项目完全侧重于环境管理。太阳能电池板为停车场和厕所提供照明,而厕所则是堆肥,将废物归还给土壤。采用复合系统对填埋垃圾进行分解,保护新表层土。此外,还计划对分解废物产生的气体和液体副产品进行再利用。)”可知,这个公园的管理方法很环保。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Staten Island’s Fresh-kills, once a dumping ground (垃圾倾倒场) for New Yorkers, is now a breathtaking park. The first part was opened to the public in October. With its grassland, hills and waterways offering hiking and superb bird-watching, this is a great example of urban habitat restoration.(Staten岛的Fresh-kills,曾经是纽约人的垃圾场,现在是一个令人惊叹的公园。第一部分于10月向公众开放。这里的草地、丘陵和水道为远足和观鸟提供了绝佳的机会,是城市栖息地恢复的一个很好的例子。)”可知,本文主要讲的是一个垃圾倾倒场被改造成了一个公园,因此目的是介绍一个被改变了的地方,故选A。
C
It is generally assumed that humans are the only species that deal with the persistence (持续存在) of memory and the ability to remember friends and loved ones even if one has not seen then fora long period of time. But humans may not be alone. New research has shown that apes (类人猿) also recognize their friends even when they have not seen them in years.
Lead researcher Dr. Christopher Krupenye created this research due to his sense over the many years when he worked with apes that individual chimpanzees or bonobos recognized him even if they hadn’t seen him for some time.
“You have the impression that they’re responding like they recognize you and that to them you’re really different from the average zoo guest,” Krupenye said. “They’re excited to see you again. So our goal with this study was to ask: Do they really have a lasting memory for familiar social partners?”
In order to test whether apes remember their friends, the researchers printed photos of chimpanzees and bonobos who had died or left zoos in Edinburgh, Scotland, Belgium and Japan. Then they showed those photos of the participating animals’ former group mates alongside photos of strange apes to the participating animals at the zoos. Using eye-tracking technology, the researchers were able to confirm that the apes spent more time looking at their friends than they did at the apes they were not familiar with.
The research team believes that apes’ long-term social memory can stretch back at least 26 years. Additionally, they believe that this may indicate that like humans, chimpanzees and bonobos can miss their friends and families.
Whatever the case, it is clear that this study shows that apes are more similar to humans than previously thought. So the next time you visit the zoo, take some time to befriend your local chimpanzees and bonobos. They may just remember you for many years to come.
8. What led Krupenye to do the research?
A. His years of work with apes.
B. His experience of visiting zoos.
C. His impression of a dying ape.
D. His relationship with zoo guests.
9. What did the researchers do to the participating animals?
A. They had them look at photos of other apes.
B. They used technology to improve their eyesight.
C. They allowed them to play with their former mates.
D. They asked them to live with strange apes for some time.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Some similarities between humans and apes.
B. The research team’s expectations of the study.
C. Some tips on interacting with apes in the zoo.
D. The researchers’ conclusions from the research.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Apes Tend to Prefer Their Old Friends
B. Humans Can Make Friends With Apes
C. Apes Remember Their Friends As Well
D. Humans Are Quite Different From Apes
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,类人猿和人类一样能够记住自己的朋友。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Lead researcher Dr. Christopher Krupenye created this research due to his sense over the many years when he worked with apes that individual chimpanzees or bonobos recognized him even if they hadn’t seen him for some time.(首席研究员Christopher Krupenye博士之所以进行这项研究,是因为他多年来与猿类一起工作的感觉,即使有一段时间没有见过他,个别黑猩猩或倭黑猩猩也能认出他)”可知,是多年研究猿类的经验促使Krupenye进行这项研究。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Then they showed those photos of the participating animals’ former group mates alongside photos of strange apes to the participating animals at the zoos. Using eye-tracking technology, the researchers were able to confirm that the apes spent more time looking at their friends than they did at the apes they were not familiar with.(然后,他们把这些参与实验的动物的前同伴的照片和陌生猿的照片一起展示给动物园里参与实验的动物。通过眼球追踪技术,研究人员能够证实,猿类看朋友的时间比看不熟悉的猿类的时间要长)”可知,研究人员让参与实验的动物看其他猿类的照片。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The research team believes that apes’ long-term social memory can stretch back at least 26years. Additionally, they believe that this may indicate that like humans, chimpanzees and bonobos can miss their friends and families.(研究小组认为,猿类的长期社会记忆至少可以追溯到26年前。此外,他们认为这可能表明黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩像人类一样会想念他们的朋友和家人)”可知,第五段主要介绍了研究人员从研究中得出的关于猿类记忆能力的结论。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文。结合第一段中“But humans may not be alone. New research has shown that apes (类人猿) also recognize their friends even when they have not seen them in years.(但人类可能并不孤单。新的研究表明,即使多年未见,猿类也能认出自己的朋友)”和第五段中“The research team believes that apes’ long-term social memory can stretch back at least 26years. Additionally, they believe that this may indicate that like humans, chimpanzees and bonobos can miss their friends and families.(研究小组认为,猿类的长期社会记忆至少可以追溯到26年前。此外,他们认为这可能表明黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩像人类一样会想念他们的朋友和家人)”可知,本文主要介绍了研究表明类人猿和人类一样能够记住自己的朋友。所以“Apes Remember Their Friends As Well (猿类也记得它们的朋友)”是研究的结论,也是文章最佳标题。故选C项。
D
A brain implant allowed people with head injuries to function again. The deep brain stimulation implant, developed by researchers at Stanford University, aims to boost activity between the regions responsible for consciousness learning, memory, thinking and problem solving.
During the early trial, five people with brain injuries reported they were able to concentrate, read, remember and drive properly. The trial proved so effective that researchers had trouble completing the final stage, which was to switch off the device for three random participants after two of the patients declined.
Gina Arata, a trial participant, said, “I couldn’t remember anything. My left foot dropped, so I’d trip over things all the time. I was always in car accidents. Since the implant, I haven’t had any speeding tickets. I don’t trip anymore. I can remember how much money is in my bank account.”
Researchers selected patients for the trial who had recovered from comas (昏迷) with brain systems believed to be still well preserved, but not functioning as well as previously. “In these patients, those pathways are largely complete, but everything has been down-regulated (下降),” said Dr Jaimie Henderson, a professor of neurosurgery. “It’s as if the lights had been darkened and there just wasn’t enough electricity to turn them back up.” The researchers hoped that precise electrical stimulation of specific areas could turn the “lights” back up, and created a virtual model of each participant’s brain so they could trial stimulation at different locations ahead of surgery.
Guided by the theory, Dr Henderson implanted the device in the five participants who had sustained injuries between three and 18 years earlier. After allowing the device to bed-in for two weeks, the participants spent 90 days with it turned on for 12 hours a day. At the end of the 90-day treatment period, the participants had improved their mental processing speeds by an average of 32 percent.
“This is a pioneering moment,” said Dr Nicholas Schiff, co-senior author of the study. “Our goal now is to try to take the systematic steps to make this a therapy (疗法). This is enough of a signal for us to make every effort.”
12. What made it hard to end the last stage of the trial?
A. Researchers’ wrong solution to problems.
B. Participants’ refusal to turn off the device.
C. The decrease in the number of participants.
D. Patients’ unwillingness to pay for the trial.
13. Why does the author mention Gina Arata?
A. To present the patient’s urgent need.
B. To warn about the dangers of speeding.
C. To prove the effectiveness of the device.
D. To show the difficulty of conducting trials.
14. What does the author intend to do by referring to the “lights” in paragraph 4?
A. Prove a finding.
B. Explain a theory.
C. Draw a conclusion.
D. Present a new topic.
15. What do Dr Nicholas Schiff’s words suggest?
A. The result of the trial is very encouraging.
B. He needs more evidence to support the trial.
C. The process of the trial is far from scientific.
D. The therapy has already been widely received.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项试验研究人员将一种设备植入到头部受伤的患者的大脑中,患者的大脑功能恢复了正常。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The trial proved so effective that researchers had trouble completing the final stage, which was to switch off the device for three random participants-after two of the patients declined.(试验证明是如此有效,以至于研究人员在完成最后阶段时遇到了困难,即在两名患者拒绝后,随机关闭三名参与者的设备。)”可知,这个试验非常成功,参与者因为体验极好而拒绝结束试验。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I couldn’t remember anything. My left foot dropped, so I’d trip over things all the time. I was always in car accidents. Since the implant, I haven’t had any speeding tickets. I don’t trip anymore. I can remember how much money is in my bank account.(我什么都不记得了。我的左脚耷拉着,所以我总是被东西绊倒。我总是出车祸。植入手术后,我就没开过超速罚单了。我不再绊倒了。我能记得我的银行账户里有多少钱。)”可知,试验参与者Gina介绍了自己的病情和参与试验后的改善情况。由此可推断,作者举这个例子是为了说明这个植入脑中的设备是有用的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““In these patients, those pathways are largely complete, but everything has been down-regulated (下降),” said Dr Jaimie Henderson, a professor of neurosurgery. “It’s as if the lights had been darkened and there just wasn’t enough electricity to turn them back up.” The researchers hoped that precise electrical stimulation of specific areas could turn the “lights” back up,and created a virtual model of each participant’s brain so they could trial stimulation at different locations ahead of surgery.(神经外科教授Jaimie Henderson博士说:“在这些患者中,这些通路基本上是完整的,但一切都被下调了。”“就好像灯被弄暗了,只是没有足够的电力把它们重新亮起来。”研究人员希望对特定区域进行精确的电刺激可以使“灯”重新亮起来,并创建了每个参与者大脑的虚拟模型,这样他们就可以在手术前在不同的位置尝试刺激。)”可知,作者将大脑的受伤区域比作暗淡了的灯,而脑部植入设备就是通过脑电刺激帮助恢复大脑功能。由此可推断,作者是用“灯”来解释治疗原理。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our goal now is to try to take the systematic steps to make this a therapy (疗法). This is enough of a signal for us to make every effort.(我们现在的目标是尝试采取系统的步骤使其成为一种治疗方法。这是一个足够的信号,让我们尽一切努力。)”可推断,Dr Nicholas Schiff的话暗示了这个试验的结果十分鼓舞人心。故选A。
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。
Stanford researchers have found that students from middle school to college are struggling to assess the credibility of the online articles. Here are a few practices recommended by the researchers.
___16___. Established news organizations usually have standard addresses that you are probably familiar with. So addresses with such strange endings like www.xxcom.com” should put you on guard. ___17___. This is necessary even when the pages on the websites look familiar and professional.
Look at the quotes in a story. Or rather, look at the lack of quotes. Most reliable publications quote multiple sources who are professionals in the fields they talk about. ___18___.
Search for the images in the story. Pictures should be accurate in illustrating what the story is about. However, this often doesn’t happen. If people who write the news story don’t even leave their homes or interview anyone for the story, it’s unlikely that they take their own pictures. ___19___. You can do this by right-clicking on the images and choosing to search for them. If the pictures appear in a lot of stories about many different topics, there’s a good chance that the story is unreliable.
Stop the spreading of misinformation. If you see your friends sharing obviously unreliable information, kindly tell them it’s not real. ___20___. Everyone should help fix the misinformation problem.
A. Check your articles
B. Pay attention to the spelling of the website address
C. Then you need to dig around more to see if they can be trusted
D. If you do these steps, you’re helping yourself and the publisher
E. Do a little detective work and search for the photos in a search engine
F. If it’s a serious issue, they are usually supported by more reliable sources
G. Don’t shy away from these warnings even if they might be uncomfortable
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了几个辨别网络文章可靠性的方法,
【16题详解】
根据空后“Established news organizations usually have standard addresses that you are probably familiar with.(成熟的新闻机构通常有你可能熟悉的标准地址)”及其他细节可知,这一段主要是建议读者留意网址拼写是否合规,故B项“注意网站地址的拼写”适合作主题句。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“So addresses with such strange endings like www.xxcom.com” should put you on guard.(所以像www.xxcom.com这样奇怪结尾的地址应该引起你的警惕)”以及后文“This is necessary even when the pages on the websites look familiar and professional.(这是必要的,即使网站上的页面看起来熟悉和专业)”可知,上文提到了奇怪结尾的网址,后文提到了某种做法是必要的,可知本句是在说明具体做法。故C项“你还得深入研究一下这些网站是否值得信赖”符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Look at the quotes in a story. Or rather, look at the lack of quotes. Most reliable publications quote multiple sources who are professionals in the fields they talk about.(看看故事中的引语。或者更确切地说,看看没有引用。大多数可靠的出版物引用了他们所谈论的领域的专业人士的多个来源)”可知,本段主要建议通过引用来判断,F选项中sources对应上文sources。故F项“如果文章讨论的问题很重要,文章会引用更多、更可靠的信息来源”符合语境。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据本段主题句“Search for the images in the story.(搜索故事中的图像)”及空后“You can do this by right-clicking on the images and choosing to search for them.(您可以通过右键单击图像并选择搜索它们来做到这一点)”可知,本段主要建议搜索图片,且后文提到了搜索方法,E选项中search for the photos对应search for them。故E项“做一点侦查工作,在搜索引擎上搜索这些照片”符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Stop the spreading of misinformation. If you see your friends sharing obviously unreliable information, kindly tell them it’s not real.(停止错误信息的传播。如果你看到你的朋友分享明显不可靠的信息,请告诉他们这不是真的)”谈到发现朋友传播明显不可靠的信息时要及时阻止,空后“Everyone should help fix the misinformation problem.( 每个人都应该帮助解决错误信息的问题)”则说我们每个人都有义务阻止不可靠信息的传播。故G项“尽管这种谈话会让人不痛快,我们也得提醒”正好起到了过渡作用。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了大熊猫国家公园成立的故事。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:大熊猫国家公园于2021年正式成立,是一个雄心勃勃的项目。分析句子可知,空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词The Giant Panda National Park,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该公园位于四川、陕西和甘肃三省,占地2.7万平方公里,是保护中国大熊猫的一项重大举措。“(cover) an area of 27, 000 square kilometers of countryside in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces”作伴随状语,cover(占)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语the park之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动;句首单词首字母大写。故填Covering。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该公园位于四川、陕西和甘肃三省,占地2.7万平方公里,是保护中国大熊猫的一项重大举措。名词drive后常用不定式作后置定语,drive to do...意为“(为达到某目的而进行的)有组织的努力或运动”。故填to protect。
【39题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,在万年村,人们对这个消息感到有些焦虑。分析句子可知,greet(对……作出反应)是句中谓语动词,与主语the news之间是被动关系,结合上下文可知,讲述过去的事情,应使用一般过去时态,又因主语是不可数名词,谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was greeted。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:根据新政策,他们中的许多人通过非法活动谋生。名词activity意为“活动”,其后“that were illegal under the new policy”是定语从句,activity是先行词,关系词that将其代入定语从句中作主语。根据从句中系动词were可知,主语是复数名词,故activity用复数形式。故填activities。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这些项目是有利可图的,并创造了很多就业机会。提示词作表语,用形容词profitable,意为“有利可图的;有益的”,表明主语的性质。故填profitable。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:似乎只有一条出路:把这个村庄变成一个旅游热点。turn...into...是固定搭配,意为“把……变成……”。故填into。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这个村庄也坐落在公园的南端,对游客来说是一个很好的起点。可数名词jumping-off point在句中表示“一个起点”,泛指,空格后单词great发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:当地官员立即着手将万年村更名为“熊猫村”。提示词修饰动词短语set about,用副词immediately作状语,意为“立即,马上”。故填immediately。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:新建的旅馆吸引了全国的游客。提示词修饰名词hotels,作定语,是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语hotels之间是被动关系,用过去分词作定语,表被动;newly built“新建的”。故填built。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Mr. Morgan’s first day as a senior high school teacher. As a young first- time teacher, Mr. Morgan was determined to establish himself as strict but fair.
As he launched into the lecture, the classroom door suddenly was opened. A boy walked in. “You’re 20 minutes late. Could you introduce yourself?” Mr. Morgan said.
“I’m Archie,” replied the boy, rubbing his tired eyes. Archie looked very untidy, as though he hadn’t slept well. He added, “I’m sorry. I overslept. I didn’t mean to come in late. I was just tired.”
As Mr. Morgan saw Archie’s notebook, his expression grew uneasy. “You didn’t do your homework.” He scolded (责骂) the boy in front of the whole class. “This is unacceptable. I want to meet your parents tomorrow.”
But Archie never showed up in class the following day, and Mr. Morgan started to worry. As he prepared to leave after class, he noticed an elderly woman waiting outside the classroom.
“I’m Archie’s grandmother,” the woman said. “My grandson was a little sick, so I told him not to go to school... Archie told me you wanted to meet his parents. So, what do you want to discuss?”
Mr. Morgan replied, “I’m worried about his recent behavior in class. He hasn’t done his homework, and I’ve heard he is always late for class.” To Mr. Morgan’s surprise, Archie’s grandmother didn’t think it was something serious.
That same evening, Morgan drove to Archie’s address but only saw Archie’s grandmother. “I was just passing by and thought I’d meet Archie. Can I see him?” he carefully asked. Archie’s grandmother stammered (结结巴巴地说), “Archie has gone to get some medicine. Besides, I’ve got a lot of work to do. I should start cleaning, so if you don’t mind...” Mr. Morgan understood talking to Archie’s grandmother would be useless, so he left the house.
As he headed back, he ran into Archie. The boy was dirty and tired. Archie looked up at Mr. Morgan, his eyes wide open with fear and embarrassment. “Mr. Morgan... please don’t come here again. I’m tired, and I have to wash up.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mr. Morgan knew Archie was hiding something and asked him to speak it out.

Before Archie finished his words, Mr. Morgan hugged the little boy tightly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mr. Morgan knew Archie was hiding something and asked him to speak it out. Under Mr. Morgan’s insistence, Archie had to tell the whole story. Archie’s parents were killed in a motorcycle crash a year ago, leaving Archie and his grandmother alone. His grandmother had dealt with some health issues since then and Archie was the only one that tried to provide for the family, so he worked part- time in a nearby factory after school. Head down, Archie murmured, “I’m sorry, Mr. Morgan. I was trying to get to school on time and finish my homework, but...”
Before Archie finished his words, Mr.Morgan hugged the little boy tightly. Archie was surprised, but there was something warm spreading through his whole body — it was parental love he had almost forgotten. Tears running down Archie’s cheeks, he tried to wipe them away. “It’s OK, Archie. It’s OK to cry and to be weak. Or it’s better to let me help you through,” Mr. Morgan gently said, looking into Archie’s eyes. Looking up at Mr. Morgan, Archie nodded. Holding Archie’s hands, Mr. Morgan knew he would also try to be a considerate and helpful teacher.
