CareerOneStop B For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation. Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.” With the support of his parents Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning. fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil. Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country. As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will. 4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By posing a contrast. B. By reporting an event. C By assuming a situation. D. By making an appeal. 5. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians? A. The support from his parents. B. The passion for dental health. C. The encounter with local s lacking dental care. D. The professional skills and knowledge from college. 6. Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi? A. Hopeful and diligent. B. Faithful and ambitious. C. Intelligent and creative. D. Charitable and dedicated. 7. What do we know about Porsorriso? A. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need. B It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority. C. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals. D. It holds regular fundraisers to educate people about dental care. C When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering. Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an entire journey without any intervention from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard. people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track. How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software drive really can be safer than a human being. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀的权利) away? 8. What does Clara-Marina Martinez intend to do? A. Market Porsche cars. B. Learn to be a responsible driver. C. Enjoy riding in a self-driving car. D. Improve the AI technology. 9. What is the problem with self-driving cars? A. They learn as slowly as human beings. B. They have to be monitored by human drivers. C. They need a long time to reach a certain safety level. D. They can operate for a very short period of time. 10. What are Dr Martinez and her colleagues doing? A. Enabling software to identify road dangers. B. Fixing sensors in autonomous vehicles. C. Re-creating road situations on a test track. D. Separating the real world from the virtual world. 11. What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph? A. The reliability of car software. B. The future of its sports car market. C. The quality of self-driving cars. D. The driving skills of human beings. D Climate change and beer might be two things that rarely appear in the same sentence. But according to an article in the scientific journal Nature Plants, if the Earth gets warmer, your Friday-night drink might get pricier. The team behind the article modelled the effect of extreme events on production of barley, the main ingredient of beer. “Extreme weather conditions such as drought or heat will impact barley production. Barley is irreplaceable in beer making,” said Xie Wei, first author of the article. “If barley production drops, beer production will also drop, and beer might get more expensive.” When global temperatures rise to their highest, global beer supply will drop 16 percent. Prices will also hike due to drop of supply. For instance, a 4.84-U. S.-dollar price hike for a 500 ml bottle is projected in Ireland, almost doubling the previous price. Quality of that beer might also be affected. If barley cannot receive enough irrigation, quality of the protein and carbohydrate in its grain will drop. In fact, the effect of drought on beer production has been seen. Bloomberg reported that drought and heat caused a 30 to 40 percent drop in barley production in European barley producing regions during summer 2018, leading to a 35 percent price hike of barley in France. However, regional fluctuations in barley production are still manageable now. If production in one region fails, beer makers can make it up by importing more from other regions. But if climate change gets out of control, the impact will be global. Agriculture is incredibly vulnerable to climate change. Xie pointed out the impact of climate change is not only limited to staple crops. “We are only using barley and beer as an example of high-added-value agricultural products,” said Xie. “In countries like China, per person consumption of staple crops is dropping, but that of products such as dairy and beer is rising.” Beer, not essential for human survival, occupies a major part in culture around the world. That gives people yet one more reason to care more about climate change. 12. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Extreme weather influences the price of beer. B. The more irrigation, the better quality of beer. C. It’s necessary to replace barley in beer making. D. Efforts should be made to promote beer production. 13. Why is Bloomberg’s report mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To lead in a new topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To give a supporting example. D. To provide background information. 14. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Important. B. Sensitive. C. Adaptable. D. Resistant. 15. What’s the author’s potential purpose to write the text? A. To popularize agricultural products. B. To show the importance of beer in culture. C. To draw people’s concern on climate change. D. To indicate the impact of temperature on staple crops. 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。 Why are Police Officers Called Cops? Police officers are often referred to as cops. ____16____ Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”. General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. ____17____ Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. ____18____ And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”. ____19____ And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals. The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. ____20____ A. The term is slightly less familiar to people. B. So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar. C. These words define some of what a police officer does. D. The profession of a police officer was not respected then. E. But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate. F. However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct. G. Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The path to pottery (制陶) was far from direct for Kaley Black.

But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 瑞金一中2025届高三开学考试 英语 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil. Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country. As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will. 4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By posing a contrast. B. By reporting an event. C. By assuming a situation. D. By making an appeal. 5. What motivated Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians? A. The support from his parents. B.

A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巴西牙医Felipe Rossi创建了非政府组织Porsorriso，致力于为贫困地区的低收入人群提供免费的口腔治疗服务。尽管面临资金和运营挑战，Rossi及其团队仍坚持帮助需要的人，传递健康微笑，增强当地民众的自信。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.(对我们中的一些人来说，去牙医那里做例行检查是一件很平常的事情。但对世界上许多人来说，尤其是那些生活在贫困地区的人来说，改善牙齿和检查牙齿根本是不可能的。巴西牙医费利佩·罗西致力于帮助改变这种状况)”可知，文章开头通过对比一些人定期去牙医处进行常规检查，而世界上很多人尤其是贫困地区的人们无法进行牙科治疗和牙齿检查的情况，引出了文章的主题，即巴西牙医Felip e Rossi致力于帮助改变这种情况。因此，作者通过提出对比来引入文章的主题。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”(‘并不是所有的当地人都能得到牙科护理，因此，很多人的牙齿都变形了，甚至掉了牙，导致很多人不敢张嘴笑。’Felipe Rossi回忆道。‘一种渴望在我心中扎根。也就是说，用我的技能给患有牙病的人带来健康的微笑。’)”可知，Felipe Rossi在巴西的Balsabo地区看到当地人没有机会接受牙科治疗，很多人因此牙齿变形或甚至失去牙齿，这激发了他提供牙科治疗的决心；由此可知，是当地人缺乏牙科护理的情况促使Felipe为巴西人提供牙科治疗。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”(‘并不是所有当地人都能得到牙科护理，因此，很多人的牙齿都变形了，甚至掉了牙，导致很多人不敢张嘴笑。’Felipe Rossi回忆道。‘一种渴望在我心中扎根。也就是说，用我的技能给患有牙病的人带来健康的微笑。’)”可知，Felipe Rossi想要利用自己的技能为遭受牙科问题的人们带来健康的笑容，这表明他具有慈善精神。在最后一段中“As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.(尽管目标崇高，Felipe承认Porsorriso正在‘挣扎着生存’，因为提供牙科治疗的巨大成本和他们必须举行的持续筹款活动以保持非政府组织的正常运作。‘虽然这很有挑战性，但它确实给当地人带来了健康的牙齿，并重新树立了信心。无论我们面临什么困难，我们都将继续这一变革行动。’斐利贝带着强烈的意志说)”可知，他承认Porsorriso的生存很困难，但他们将继续进行这项改变性的行动，无论他们将面临什么困难，这表明他具有奉献精神。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.(赞助通常由两家私人公司提供。个人也可以通过‘微笑团结’计划捐款，他们可以选择每月的捐款数额。Porsorriso还定期举行筹款活动，为全国各地提供免费牙科服务)”可知，Porsorriso是由企业和个人提供经济支持。故选C项。 C When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering. Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. Such a fully autonomous car known in the industry as Level 5, should be able to complete an entire journey without any intervention from the driver, and deal with all situations on the road. But this is proving hard to achieve, and many attempts to do so are being abandoned. Last year, for instance, Uber sold off its unit developing self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. Objects in these virtual worlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard. people are soft) so that the sensors in vehicles respond in the appropriate way. Once the software has been trained, it is tested in real autonomous vehicles by re-creating those situations on a test track. How quickly all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome the doubt that a software drive really can be safer than a human being. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀的权利) away? 8. What does Clara-Marina Martinez intend to do? A. Market Porsche cars. B. Learn to be a responsible driver. C. Enjoy riding in a self-driving car. D. Improve the AI technology. 9. What is the problem with self-driving cars? A. They learn as slowly as human beings. B. They have to be monitored by human drivers. C. They need a long time to reach a certain safety level. D. They can operate for a very short period of time. 10. What are Dr Martinez and her colleagues doing? A. Enabling software to identify road dangers. B. Fixing sensors in autonomous vehicles. C. Re-creating road situations on a test track. D. Separating the real world from the virtual world. 11. What worries Porsche according to the last paragraph? A. The reliability of car software. B. The future of its sports car market. C. The quality of self-driving cars. D. The driving skills of human beings. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述开发自动驾驶汽车的问题以及对跑车市场的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a note of any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which she is helping develop for Porsche Engineering. (开车时，Clara-Marina Martinez会记下她在路上看到的任何异常行为。然后，她将这些输入到机器学习算法中，这是一种人工智能，她正在帮助保时捷工程集团开发这种算法。)”及第二段“Those algorithms are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself. (这些算法旨在产生一个足够可靠的系统，让汽车自动驾驶。)”可知，Clara-Marina Martinez将开车时的异常输入到人工智能算法中，弥补人工智能算法的不足，使其更可靠。故推知Clara-Marina Martinez打算改进人工智能技术。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Autonomous vehicles are said to be not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, so do machines. And machines are not quick learners. The RAND Corporation calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (据说自动驾驶汽车不仅方便，而且可能更安全。然而，正如人们花时间学习如何安全驾驶一样，机器也是如此。机器不是快速学习者。兰德公司计算出，要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全20%的系统，100辆自动驾驶汽车必须一年365天，每天24小时运行。)”可知，自动驾驶汽车需要长时间学习如何安全驾驶，故推知自动驾驶汽车需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。所以自动驾驶汽车的问题是：需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Carmakers such as Porsche therefore speed up the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about dangers rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines” to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive. (因此，保时捷等汽车制造商使用模拟器加快了开发过程。这些教会软件有关现实中很少遇到的危险。Martinez博士和她的同事使用“游戏引擎”来做到这一点。这些用于创建软件可以驱动的虚拟世界。)”可知，Martinez博士和她的同事用“游戏引擎”教会软件有关现实中很少遇到的危险，目的是使软件能够识别道路危险，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is another question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those bragging rights (炫耀的权利) away? (不过，从保时捷的角度来看，还有另一个问题。鉴于拥有跑车的大部分原因是为了让车主炫耀他们的驾驶技能，对于软件剥夺了那些炫耀的权利这一版本，市场会有多大？)”可知，买跑车的原因是为了炫技，但软件剥夺了车主炫技的权利，故推知保时捷公司担心跑车市场的未来，故选B。 D Climate change and beer might be two things that rarely appear in the same sentence. But according to an article in the scientific journal Nature Plants, if the Earth gets warmer, your Friday-night drink might get pricier. The team behind the article modelled the effect of extreme events on production of barley, the main ingredient of beer. “Extreme weather conditions such as drought or heat will impact barley production. Barley is irreplaceable in beer making,” said Xie Wei, first author of the article. “If barley production drops, beer production will also drop, and beer might get more expensive.” When global temperatures rise to their highest, global beer supply will drop 16 percent. Prices will also hike due to drop of supply. For instance, a 4.84-U. S.-dollar price hike for a 500 ml bottle is projected in Ireland, almost doubling the previous price. Quality of that beer might also be affected. If barley cannot receive enough irrigation, quality of the protein and carbohydrate in its grain will drop. In fact, the effect of drought on beer production has been seen. Bloomberg reported that drought and heat caused a 30 to 40 percent drop in barley production in European barley producing regions during summer 2018, leading to a 35 percent price hike of barley in France. However, regional fluctuations in barley production are still manageable now. If production in one region fails, beer makers can make it up by importing more from other regions. But if climate change gets out of control, the impact will be global. Agriculture is incredibly vulnerable to climate change. Xie pointed out the impact of climate change is not only limited to staple crops. “We are only using barley and beer as an example of high-added-value agricultural products,” said Xie. “In countries like China, per person consumption of staple crops is dropping, but that of products such as dairy and beer is rising.” Beer, not essential for human survival, occupies a major part in culture around the world. That gives people yet one more reason to care more about climate change. 12. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. Extreme weather influences the price of beer. B. The more irrigation, the better quality of beer. C. It’s necessary to replace barley in beer making. D. Efforts should be made to promote beer production. 13. Why is Bloomberg’s report mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To lead in a new topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To give a supporting example. D. To provide background information. 14. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A. Important. B. Sensitive. C. Adaptable. D. Resistant. 15. What’s the author’s potential purpose to write the text? A. To popularize agricultural products. B. To show the importance of beer in culture. C. To draw people’s concern on climate change. D. To indicate the impact of temperature on staple crops. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过极端天气影响啤酒的价格这一例子说明气候变化对农业会产生很大影响。并介绍了相关的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But according to an article in the scientific journal Nature Plants, if the Earth gets warmer, your Friday-night drink might get pricier.(但根据科学杂志《自然植物》上的一篇文章，如果地球变暖，你周五晚上的饮料可能会变得更贵)”以及第二段“Extreme weather conditions such as drought or heat will impact barley production. Barley is irreplaceable in beer making(干旱或高温等极端天气条件会影响大麦的生产。大麦在啤酒生产中是不可替代的)”及“If barley production drops, beer production will also drop, and beer might get more expensive.(如果大麦产量下降，啤酒产量也会下降，啤酒可能会变得更贵)”可知，极端天气影响啤酒的价格。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In fact, the effect of drought on beer production has been seen. Bloomberg reported that drought and heat caused a 30 to 40 percent drop in barley production in European barley producing regions during summer 2018, leading to a 35 percent price hike of barley in France.(事实上，干旱对啤酒生产的影响已经被看到了。据彭博社报道，2018年夏季，干旱和高温导致欧洲大麦产区的大麦产量下降了30%至40%，导致法国大麦价格上涨35%)”可推知，干旱对啤酒生产的影响已经被看到了，所以后文提到了彭博社的报告是为了给出一个支持的例子。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But if climate change gets out of control, the impact will be global.(但如果气候变化失去控制，其影响将是全球性的)”以及后文“to climate change”可知，如果气候变化失去控制，其影响将是全球性的，说明农业对气候变化很敏感，牵一发而动全身。故划线词意思是“敏感的”。故选B。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Beer, not essential for human survival, occupies a major part in culture around the world. That gives people yet one more reason to care more about climate change.(啤酒并非人类生存的必需品，却在世界各地的文化中占据重要地位。这给了人们更多关注气候变化的理由)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的潜在目的是引起人们对气候变化的关注。故选C。 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。 Why are Police Officers Called Cops? Police officers are often referred to as cops. ____16____ Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”. General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. ____17____ Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. ____18____ And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”. ____19____ And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals. The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. ____20____ A. The term is slightly less familiar to people. B. So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar. C. These words define some of what a police officer does. D. The profession of a police officer was not respected then. E. But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate. F. However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct. G. Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了警察为什么被称为cops的由来。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.( 一些人认为这个词是“copper”的缩写，来自警察佩戴的铜徽章。也有人说它代表“警察总队”。)”可知，关于“cop”这个昵称的起源存在争议。因此推断E项“但这个绰号的起源却存在争议。”符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.( 然而，关于“cop”一词起源的普遍共识表明，这个词更多地是基于警察的工作，而不是他的服装或头衔。在拉丁语中，动词capere可以被定义为“捕获”。在法语中，动词是caper。“To cop”在英语中的意思是抓住或拿走。)”可知，在不同的语言中有不同的词定义了警察的部分工作，因此推断C项“这些词定义了警察的部分工作”总结上文，these words指代前文的词汇。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets.( Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops.（一些人还认为，荷兰语kapen也可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”，与警察被称为coppers或cops有关。从本质上讲，警察的存在是为了把罪犯赶出街头。)”和下文“And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.(由于美式英语主要来源于德语、法语和拉丁语，kapen或capere的特定语言来源为“cop”一词创造了一条现成的路径。)”可知，荷兰语kapen可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”，与警察被称为coppers或cops有关，美式英语来自德语，法语和拉丁语，因此推断B项“荷兰语和法语的术语都很相似”承上启下。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“And it is no longer considered rude.(它不再被认为是粗鲁的。)”可知，现在称警察为cops不粗鲁，是合适的。因此推断G项“今天，把警察称为cop是恰当的。”符合语境，下文是对此的详细解释。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop.(“cop”这个词现在被如此普遍地使用，以至于一个记录他们工作的节目被称为“Cops”。尽管J·埃德加·胡佛曾经强烈反对这个词，但现在把警察或女警察称为cop是可以的。)”可知，现在称呼a policeman或者 a police woman是最好的，与前一段是转折关系，因此推断F项“然而，“police officer”这个术语通常是最正确的”。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The path to pottery (制陶) was far from direct for Kaley Black.

But people like me who routinely put off doing assignments, are likely to defend our “slower” approach to getting tasks done. I'm the only procrastination in my family. My parents and sister were all born with the “do it right now” gift. They are always in a rush, as if closely rushed by an invisible deadline. Personally, I prefer a more relaxed pace. When my parents voiced their concern about my tendencies, saying “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today,” “No way!” I responded, confidently presenting my research as a defense. It said people procrastinated when they need to solve a problem or commit to a topic or project. In these cases, delaying a decision can be beneficial. This was because our minds continue to reflect on problems even when we were not actively thinking about them, which could lead to more creative solutions. My findings filled me with satisfaction and pride. My method of getting things done was just as good as my sister’s…or so I thought. At school we’d been talking about architecture and design. As part of the final assessment my teacher Mr. Smith announced an exciting project that each student would have a month to complete. We were expected to choose our materials, construct a small building and make use of things we had learned in class. Not only would the winners receive extra credit, but the winning constructions would be proudly displayed in the cafeteria. “I have no clue how I could get it done,” my friend Nate sighed in despair. I didn’t say anything. Not because I shared his anxiety but because I was not nervous at all. I loved hands-on projects! Picturing my brilliant work exhibited in the cafeteria, I was fully convinced that I would definitely produce something that could impress everyone. So relaxed was I that I didn’t give it a second thought for weeks. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That taught me a great lesson. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para.1 Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I hastily and quickly glued together what I pulled out from our recycle bin, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. Several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed constructions. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was obvious that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had. Para.2 That taught me a great lesson. I learnt from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks on time, but also I felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了有拖延症的作者在面对老师布置的项目时，拖延到最后一天慌忙潦草地完成，结果很糟糕，作者从中吸取了教训，不再拖延的故事。家人对作者的拖延而担忧，作者在无理地辩护。一次，大学老师提前一个月布置了期末任务，作者拖延到最后一天才匆忙潦草地完成，看到别人因付出了很多时间而受到表扬的优秀作品，作者感到从中吸取了教训，不再做一个拖延者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不知不觉中，我只剩下一天时间来完成这个项目了。”可知，第一段可描写作者因为拖延到最后一天完成作业，手忙脚乱地匆忙完成，结果很糟糕。其他人的优秀作品受到了表扬，作者感到尴尬。 ②由第二段首句内容“那件事给了我很大的教训。”可知，第二段可描写作者为做到不拖延而做的努力和成功，更早地处理事情，不再是一个拖延者。 2.续写线索：作者拖延症严重——家人为其担忧——作者无理辩护——老师布置期末任务——拖延到最后潦草完成——结果糟糕——感到尴尬——吸取教训——不再拖延 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.颤抖：shaking/ trembling/quivering ②.处理：tackled/dealt with/handled ③.完成：finish/accomplish/complete 情绪类 ①. 高度赞扬：highly praised/speak highly of/highly acclaimed ②. 尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward/abashed 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
