【原文】People sometimes confuse Australia and New Zealand because they are neighboring island countries in the Pacific Ocean, but in fact their histories are very unique. New Zealand first had a native group. They are the first group of people to live here called the Maoris. These people called New Zealand home as far back as 1320. Well before the British first arrived around 1770, the British and gained control over the country in 1840, which started a war between the new European groups and native Maori people. However, people today live independently. It means they are able to make their own laws and make sure they can live with relative peace and freedom. Today, about sixteen percent of the total population is Maori and they have mixed culturally with the non-native people to have their own power in the country. All people in New Zealand now call themselves kiwi as a term of pride for their country. New Zealand is famous for their love of rugby, their mountainous landscapes and their great educational system.

Diana Nyad was a professional swimmer. She was in her twenties when she decided to swim around Manhattan. The first time she tried, she didn’t succeed. But she didn’t give up. She tried again and swam the twenty-eight miles in less than eight hours. Then she had another goal: to swim from Cuba to Florida, a distance of 110 miles. She didn’t stop to sleep. But she didn’t finish. Jellyfish attacked her, and the weather threw her off course. Did she try again? Yes, but not until thirty-three years later.
Nyad retired from competitive swimming in her twenties. For the next thirty years, she didn’t swim at all. She became a sportscaster (体育比赛解说员) and a journalist. But she didn’t stop all physical activities. She always kept in shape. Every Friday she took a one-hundred-mile bike ride.
In 2007, when Nyad was sixty years old, her mother died. She started to think about her own life. In the thirty years when she didn’t swim, she always thought about the possibility of trying again. She didn’t want to die without achieving her goal. She started to train again. By the summer of 2011, she tried again — and failed again — after twenty-nine hours in the water. She tried two more times and failed to reach Florida each time. What kinds of problems did she face? There were attacks by jellyfish, bad weather, and breathing problems from asthma (哮喘). How did she solve the problem of jellyfish? For her fifth attempt, she wore a bodysuit and mask to protect against jellyfish stings. On August 31, 2013, after fifty-three hours of swimming, she reached the Florida shore, thirty-five years after her first attempt. Nyad achieved what younger and stronger swimmers could not.
Nyad always tells people, “Never give up.”
24. What is the right order of the following events about Diana Nyad?
①Nyad decided to swim around Manhattan.
②She reached Florida after 53-hour’s swimming.
③Nyad’s mother passed away.
④She retired from her swimming career.
A. ④①③②. B. ②①③④.
C. ①④③②. D. ③④②①.
25. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. She was always thinking about her dream.
B. She didn’t achieve success at once.
C Her asthma was the main reason for her failure.
D. There were many swimmers reaching Florida before she had tried.
26. Which of the following can best describe Diana Nyad?
A. Determined and persistent. B. Professional and interesting.
C. Honest and generous. D. Dynamic and selfless.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. If at First You Don’t Succeed
B. Swimming Cures Asthma
C. How to Swim around Manhattan
D Getting Rid of Being Stung by Jellyfish
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了游泳运动员Diana Nyad在失败后不放弃,最终获得成功的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“She was in her twenties when she decided to swim around Manhattan.(20多岁时,她决定环着曼哈顿游泳。)”、第二段“Nyad retired from competitive swimming in her twenties.(Nyad20多岁时退出了游泳比赛。)”、第三段“In 2007, when Nyad was sixty years old, her mother died.(2007年,Nyad60岁时,她的母亲去世了。)”和“On August 31, 2013, after fifty-three hours of swimming, she reached the Florida shore, thirty-five years after her first attempt.(2013年8月31日,经过53个小时的游泳,她到达了佛罗里达海岸,距离她第一次尝试已经过去了35年。)”可知,题目给出的四个事件顺序应为①④③②。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“By the summer of 2011, she tried again — and failed again — after twenty-nine hours in the water. She tried two more times and failed to reach Florida each time.(到2011年夏天,她又试了一次——又失败了——在水里呆了29个小时。她又试了两次,每次都没能到达佛罗里达。)”可知,第三段指出她没有立即获得成功。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“For her fifth attempt, she wore a bodysuit and mask to protect against jellyfish stings. On August 31, 2013, after fifty-three hours of swimming, she reached the Florida shore, thirty-five years after her first attempt.(第五次尝试时,她穿上了紧身衣,戴上了口罩,以防被水母蜇伤。2013年8月31日,经过53个小时的游泳,她到达了佛罗里达海岸,距离她第一次尝试已经过去了35年。)”可推知,Diana Nyad具有坚韧的毅力和决心。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“The first time she tried, she didn’t succeed. But she didn’t give up. She tried again and swam the twenty-eight miles in less than eight hours.(她第一次尝试,没有成功。但她没有放弃。她又试了一次,在不到8小时的时间里游了28英里。)”,第三段“By the summer of 2011, she tried again — and failed again — after twenty-nine hours in the water. She tried two more times and failed to reach Florida each time.(到2011年夏天,她又试了一次——又失败了——在水里呆了29个小时。她又试了两次,每次都没能到达佛罗里达。)”和“For her fifth attempt, she wore a bodysuit and mask to protect against jellyfish stings. On August 31, 2013, after fifty-three hours of swimming, she reached the Florida shore, thirty-five years after her first attempt.(第五次尝试时,她穿上了紧身衣,戴上了口罩,以防被水母蜇伤。2013年8月31日,经过53个小时的游泳,她到达了佛罗里达海岸,距离她第一次尝试已经过去了35年。)”可知,本文主要讲述了主人公Diana Nyad在失败后不放弃,最终获得成功的故事。由此可知,A选项“If at First You Don’t Succeed(如果一开始你没有成功)”用没有成功引出主人公不放弃获得成功的故事,适合作为本文标题。故选A。
C
Do you hope that this year will be the year in which you can achieve higher scores, eat healthier, go to bed earlier, or simply delve into other self-improvements? In China, Spring Festival is a time to get together with family and express your best wishes for the New Year. In Western countries, however, these kinds of New Year’s resolutions (决心) are usually made before New Year’s Eve.
According to the Statistics Brain Research Institute, about 58 percent of US people make these resolutions, but only 9.2 percent of people say they are successful in achieving their resolutions by the end of the year. Why do people fail to maintain their resolutions throughout the year?
We all know that controlling our desires when faced with temptation and holding back our hunger for immediate results can help us exercise our willpower and allow us to achieve our goals. But we often give in to our immediate desires because we have poor self-control. We imagine self-control to be like a resistance band, holding us back from desserts, holding us back from playing video games and finally holding us back from happiness.
Adding to this, we often face emotional situations that can lead to stress. We feel stressed at school and use binge eating to gain a feeling of satisfaction in our stomach as a solution to the stress. We find it difficult to improve our studies and decide to ignore our books and try to have fun. We give up on willpower because it makes us miserable (悲惨的).
Yet if we are able to strengthen our self-control and willpower, it is very likely that we will achieve our goals. Let’s take some time to reflect on our emotional well-being and resolutions. We should be grateful about what we have now instead of what we want. We should be patient with ourselves and be proud of all our achievements, no matter how tiny they are. Achieving our goals is not a race or competition; it is a step toward being the best person that we can be. Let’s make this year a celebration of “us”.
28. Why does the author mentions the difference between China and western coutries?
A. To show that people of these places are totally different.
B. To show that most people will make some decisions for a new year.
C. To show that there are indeed some cultural differences among countries.
D. To show that people from around the world are the same at every aspect.
29. How is the second paragraph organized?
A. By listing facts. B. By doing comparison.
C. By listing data D. By telling stories.
30. What’s the possible meanning of underlined words?
A. A way of eating which will make us slim.
B. An eating habit which is healthy for all.
C. A real treatment for people who feel hungry.
D. A style of eating where people will eat too much food than their bodies need.
31. What’s the purpose of the author in this passage?
A. To tell us the improvement of will power is the key to achieving our goals.
B. To do a comparison between strong willpower and weak willpower.
C. To tell readers to cherish what we have now.
D. To give people a test about the ability to control themselves.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕新年决心这一主题,探讨了人们制定新年决心却难以坚持的原因,并提出了增强自控力和意志力、反思情绪健康和决心等建议,以鼓励读者实现自我提升。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In China, Spring Festival is a time to get together with family and express your best wishes for the New Year. In Western countries, however, these kinds of New Year’s resolutions (决心) are usually made before New Year’s Eve.(在中国,春节是与家人团聚、表达新年美好祝愿的时刻。然而,在西方国家,这类新年决心通常是在新年前夕之前做出的)”可知,文章首段提到在中国,春节是与家人团聚、表达新年美好祝愿的时刻,而在西方国家,新年决心通常是在新年前夕之前做出的,这是为了引出下文关于新年决心的讨论,说明大多数人会为新的一年做一些决定,如制定新年决心。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to the Statistics Brain Research Institute, about 58 percent of US people make these resolutions, but only 9.2 percent of people say they are successful in achieving their resolutions by the end of the year. Why do people fail to maintain their resolutions throughout the year?(据统计大脑研究所的数据显示,大约58%的美国人会制定这些新年决心,但到年底时,只有9.2%的人表示他们成功实现了自己的决心。为什么人们无法一整年都坚持自己的决心呢?)”可知,第二段通过列举数据来支持论点,即人们很难一整年都坚持自己的新年决心。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“to gain a feeling of satisfaction in our stomach as a solution to the stress(来获得胃部的满足感,以此作为应对压力的方法)”可推测,在学校感到压力,用暴食来获得胃里的满足感,作为压力的解决方案。所以binge eating为“狂吃,暴食”之意。选项D“A style of eating where people will eat too much food than their bodies need.(一种人们会吃超过身体所需食物的饮食方式)”与此相符。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet if we are able to strengthen our self-control and willpower, it is very likely that we will achieve our goals. Let’s take some time to reflect on our emotional well-being and resolutions. We should be grateful about what we have now instead of what we want. We should be patient with ourselves and be proud of all our achievements, no matter how tiny they are. Achieving our goals is not a race or competition; it is a step toward being the best person that we can be. Let’s make this year a celebration of “us”.(然而,如果我们能够增强自控力和意志力,那么我们很有可能实现自己的目标。让我们花些时间反思自己的情绪健康和决心。我们应该感激现在所拥有的,而不是我们想要的。我们应该对自己有耐心,并为自己所有的成就感到自豪,无论它们多么微小。实现目标不是一场比赛或竞争,而是朝着成为最好的自己迈出的一步。让我们把这一年变成庆祝“我们”的一年)”以及全文内容可知,文章讨论了新年决心难以坚持的问题,并给出了增强自控力和意志力的建议,以鼓励读者实现新年决心和自我提升。由此推知,作者认为意志力的提高是实现目标的关键。故选A。
D
Whether you consume it in ice cream, coffee, cupcakes, pudding, or protein shakes, the vanilla you eat in the future might taste just a little bit sweeter thanks to a surprising new ingredient (材料): used plastic.
Admittedly, it doesn’t sound very delicious. To scientists Joanna Sadler and Stephen Wallace at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, however, what’s even less delicious is plastic waste, which currently enters the ocean at a rate of 8 million tons per year — enough plastic waste to outweigh all of the ocean’s fish by the year 2050. To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin — extracting (提取) from plastics, which gives vanilla unique smell and flavor.
Although it can be found in natural vanilla bean, vanillin also can be made using chemicals coming from petrol. To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified (使转化) a strain of E.coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles.
According to their research paper, around 85% of the world’s vanillin is synthesized (合成) from chemicals that are obtained from fossil fuels. That’s because demand for vanillin — which is used widely not only in food, but also in beauty products, cleaning products. In Madagascar, which grows 80 % of the world’s natural vanilla, pollinating, harvesting, and curing vanilla beans is a long and painstaking process that couldn’t possibly produce enough vanillin for the world. And even if it could, the only way to naturally increase vanillin supply would be to plant more vanilla plantations, which would drive the decrease of forests.
Being able to create vanillin with plastic means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and protecting forests.
“Using microorganisms to turn waste plastics, which are harmful to the environment, into an important product is a beautiful example of green chemistry,” said Ellis Crawford, publishing editor at the United Kingdom’s Royal Society of Chemistry.
32. How do scientists produce vanilla by scientists?
A. Extracting it from plastic bottles. B. Forming it with bacteria.
C. Changing the formula of protein shakes. D. Taking it from ocean lives.
33. What’s the key motivation that drives scientists to turn plastic waste into vanilla?
A. It is cost-saving.
B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It can stop animals in the ocean from dying.
D. It may taste delicious.
34. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Madagascar is the biggest vanilla import country in the world.
B. Making natural vanilla is a difficult process.
C. Enlarging vanilla plantation is environmentally-friendly.
D. Producing vanilla from plastic is a win-win solution.
35. Where will you possibly read this passage?
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel journal.
C. In an economic textbook. D. In an advertisement.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种将塑料转化为香草的新方法,从而应对环境污染。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin — extracting (提取) from plastics, which gives vanilla unique smell and flavor.(为了帮助阻止陆地和海上的塑料污染,他们设计了一种将塑料转化为香草的新方法——从塑料中提取,使香草具有独特的气味和风味)”和第三段“To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified (使转化) a strain of E.coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles.(为了用塑料制造香草醛,研究人员对一种大肠杆菌进行了基因改造,使其可以用生产塑料瓶的原材料制造香草醛)”可知,科学家中从塑料瓶中提取制作香草。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To scientists Joanna Sadler and Stephen Wallace at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, however, what’s even less delicious is plastic waste, which currently enters the ocean at a rate of 8 million tons per year — enough plastic waste to outweigh all of the ocean’s fish by the year 2050. To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin — extracting (提取) from plastics, which gives vanilla unique smell and flavor.(然而,对于苏格兰爱丁堡大学的科学家乔安娜·萨德勒和斯蒂芬·华莱士来说,更不美味的是塑料垃圾,目前每年进入海洋的塑料垃圾为800万吨——到2050年,这些塑料垃圾将超过海洋中所有鱼类的数量。为了帮助阻止陆地和海上的塑料污染,他们设计了一种将塑料转化为香草的新方法——从塑料中提取,使香草具有独特的气味和风味)”可知,驱使科学家把塑料垃圾变成香草的主要动机是这样做可以保护环境。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Being able to create vanillin with plastic means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and protecting forests.(用塑料生产香兰素意味着在增加香兰素供应的同时减少塑料垃圾,减少工业对化石燃料的依赖,以及保护森林)”可推知,用塑料生产香草是一个双赢的解决方案,不仅可以处理塑料污染从而保护环境,也可以通过增加香兰素的供应。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Whether you consume it in ice cream, coffee, cupcakes, pudding, or protein shakes, the vanilla you eat in the future might taste just a little bit sweeter thanks to a surprising new ingredient (材料): used plastic.(无论你是在冰淇淋、咖啡、纸杯蛋糕、布丁还是蛋白奶昔中食用香草,由于一种令人惊讶的新原料:用过的塑料,你未来吃到的香草可能会尝起来更甜一点)”及全文内容可知,本文介绍了一种将塑料转化为香草的新方法,从而应对环境污染。由此推知,本文最有可能来自于一本科学杂志。故选A。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Apologies are commonly known as a sign of empathy (共情) in the workplace. But over-apologizing or excessively saying sorry when you don’t need to is a bad habit that can weaken your authority, and more importantly, it hurts your pride. ____36____, what can you do? Below are four choices to saying “I’m sorry”:
When someone bumps (撞) into you or you are in their way.
When someone bumps into you, saying excuse me or pardon me is better than saying sorry. ____37____.
When you have a question
Practice speaking up in meetings without apologizing first. You’re not interrupting or annoying if you have a question, so don’t assume you are.
____38____
“Thank you.” These two words are often more powerful than an apology. Try replacing feelings of shame with gratitude. Saying “Thank you. Let’s begin.” acknowledges (致谢) that your colleagues waited for you.
When someone makes an unreasonable request for your time
Instead, say, “No, I’m not able to do that.” If people make unreasonable requests for your time, it’s wise to learn how to refuse. ____39____. You may be worried about saying “no” because you fear people will dislike you or get upset. Typically, the opposite is true, and people will respect your honesty.
____40____. Instead, a well-placed apology can be very powerful.
A. Don’t apologize for taking up space
B. We cannot say “no” as we like
C. When a colleague offer you a good advice
D. When you’re late for a meeting and make others wait
E. If you find yourself falling into the habit of over-apologizing
F. Remember, saying you’re sorry isn’t a sign of weakness
G. Expressing your limits and expectations clearly doesn’t mean you’re being difficult
【答案】36. E 37. A 38. D 39. G 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“在工作场所中,如何避免不必要的道歉并给出相应的建议”这一主题进行说明,通过列举不同情境下的应对方式,向读者传达了如何在职场中更加自信、有效地沟通的信息。
【36题详解】
根据空前内容“But over-apologizing or excessively saying sorry when you don’t need to is a bad habit that can weaken your authority, and more importantly, it hurts your pride.(但是,当你不需要道歉时却过度道歉或频繁说“对不起”是一个坏习惯,它会削弱你的权威,更重要的是,它会伤害你的自尊)”可知,过度道歉是一个坏习惯。而根据空后“what can you do?(那么你应该怎么做呢?)”可推测,空处是在提出问题。选项E“If you find yourself falling into the habit of over-apologizing(如果你发现自己陷入了过度道歉的习惯)”自然引出下文内容,指出如果你发现自己陷入了过度道歉的习惯,应该怎么办。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据空前内容“When someone bumps into you, saying excuse me or pardon me is better than saying sorry.(当有人撞到你时,说“对不起”不如说“借过”或“请原谅”)”可知,作者建议有人撞到你的时候,不要说对不起。选项A“Don’t apologize for taking up space(不要为占用空间而道歉)”与前文相呼应,说明在这种情况下,道歉是不必要的。故选A。
【38题详解】
空处为小标题,根据上下文可知,空处指的是某种情况。根据下文““Thank you.” These two words are often more powerful than an apology. Try replacing feelings of shame with gratitude. Saying “Thank you. Let’s begin.” acknowledges (致谢) that your colleagues waited for you.(“谢谢。”这两个字往往比道歉更有力量。试着用感激之情取代羞愧感。说“谢谢。我们开始吧。”是对同事们等待你的认可)”可知,本段是在讨论当你开会迟到并让别人等待时应该怎么做。选项D“When you’re late for a meeting and make others wait(当你开会迟到并让别人等待时)”与本段内容相符。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Instead, say, “No, I’m not able to do that.” If people make unreasonable requests for your time, it’s wise to learn how to refuse.(相反,你应该说:“不,我做不到。”如果别人对你提出不合理的时间要求,学会拒绝是明智的)”可知,作者建议我们要学会对别人不合理的时间要求说不。选项G“Expressing your limits and expectations clearly doesn’t mean you’re being difficult.(明确表达你的限制和期望并不意味着你在刁难)”与前文相呼应,说明拒绝并不意味着不友好或刁难。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据空后内容“Instead, a well-placed apology can be very powerful.(相反,一个恰当的道歉可以非常有力)”可推测,空处是在讨论道歉并不是软弱的表现。选项F“Remember, saying you’re sorry isn’t a sign of weakness(记住,说“对不起”并不是软弱的标志)”与下文内容一致,符合语境。故选F。

67. 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。
Karl walked to the back of the classroom to put his book away. There, lying on the carpet in front of the bookcase, was a golden ticket! He picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank.
The boys and girls in Karl’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their work or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week his teacher, Miss Evans, drew a ticket out of a jar, and let the winner choose a prize. Karl couldn’t believe his luck.
The golden ticket was going to be drawn, and here was another ticket, just for him. He looked around, but no one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other.
Karl decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, at least one of his tickets would be picked! Then he could choose the pink pig as his sister’s birthday present, just like what he had been hoping for.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat.
He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. He did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it. But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!
He remembered what Dad had told him and his sister. “When you make a right choice, you can feel peaceful inside. You never have to feel bad about your choice later.”
Paragraph 1:
He put the pencil back in his pocket.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Karl, I’d like you to have another ticket,” Miss Evans said.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He put the pencil back in his pocket. And then he walked over to his teacher’s desk. “Miss Evans, I found this golden ticket on the floor near the bookcase. I think somebody has lost it. I did find the ticket, but I haven’t earned it. And these are mine,” he said, dropping several tickets into the jar. When he turned around to leave, Miss Evans called him back.
“Karl, I’d like you to have another ticket,” Miss Evans said. “You are honest and returned this one. By the way, what prize would you choose if your ticket was drawn? The big candy bar or the fire truck? ” Karl said happily right away, “The pink pig! It’s my sister’s birthday next week, and I really want to give it to her. That’s her favorite animal.” Karl sat down at his desk and smiled. He still wanted his ticket to be picked, but he would be happy even if it wasn’t. Dad was right. Making the right choice did make him feel great, and he still might win the pink pig.

Diana Nyad was a professional swimmer. She was in her twenties when she decided to swim around Manhattan. The first time she tried, she didn’t succeed. But she didn’t give up. She tried again and swam the twenty-eight miles in less than eight hours. Then she had another goal: to swim from Cuba to Florida, a distance of 110 miles. She didn’t stop to sleep. But she didn’t finish. Jellyfish attacked her, and the weather threw her off course. Did she try again? Yes, but not until thirty-three years later.
Nyad retired from competitive swimming in her twenties. For the next thirty years, she didn’t swim at all. She became a sportscaster (体育比赛解说员) and a journalist. But she didn’t stop all physical activities. She always kept in shape. Every Friday she took a one-hundred-mile bike ride.
In 2007, when Nyad was sixty years old, her mother died. She started to think about her own life. In the thirty years when she didn’t swim, she always thought about the possibility of trying again. She didn’t want to die without achieving her goal. She started to train again. By the summer of 2011, she tried again — and failed again — after twenty-nine hours in the water. She tried two more times and failed to reach Florida each time. What kinds of problems did she face? There were attacks by jellyfish, bad weather, and breathing problems from asthma (哮喘). How did she solve the problem of jellyfish? For her fifth attempt, she wore a bodysuit and mask to protect against jellyfish stings. On August 31, 2013, after fifty-three hours of swimming, she reached the Florida shore, thirty-five years after her first attempt. Nyad achieved what younger and stronger swimmers could not.
Nyad always tells people, “Never give up.”
24. What is the right order of the following events about Diana Nyad?
①Nyad decided to swim around Manhattan.
②She reached Florida after 53-hour’s swimming.
③Nyad’s mother passed away.

25. What can we learn from paragraph 3?

Do you hope that this year will be the year in which you can achieve higher scores, eat healthier, go to bed earlier, or simply delve into other self-improvements? In China, Spring Festival is a time to get together with family and express your best wishes for the New Year. In Western countries, however, these kinds of New Year’s resolutions (决心) are usually made before New Year’s Eve.
According to the Statistics Brain Research Institute, about 58 percent of US people make these resolutions, but only 9.2 percent of people say they are successful in achieving their resolutions by the end of the year. Why do people fail to maintain their resolutions throughout the year?
We all know that controlling our desires when faced with temptation and holding back our hunger for immediate results can help us exercise our willpower and allow us to achieve our goals. But we often give in to our immediate desires because we have poor self-control. We imagine self-control to be like a resistance band, holding us back from desserts, holding us back from playing video games and finally holding us back from happiness.
Adding to this, we often face emotional situations that can lead to stress. We feel stressed at school and use binge eating to gain a feeling of satisfaction in our stomach as a solution to the stress. We find it difficult to improve our studies and decide to ignore our books and try to have fun. We give up on willpower because it makes us miserable (悲惨的).
Yet if we are able to strengthen our self-control and willpower, it is very likely that we will achieve our goals. Let’s take some time to reflect on our emotional well-being and resolutions. We should be grateful about what we have now instead of what we want. We should be patient with ourselves and be proud of all our achievements, no matter how tiny they are. Achieving our goals is not a race or competition; it is a step toward being the best person that we can be. Let’s make this year a celebration of “us”.
28. Why does the author mentions the difference between China and western coutries?
A. To show that people of these places are totally different.
B. To show that most people will make some decisions for a new year.
C. To show that there are indeed some cultural differences among countries.
D. To show that people from around the world are the same at every aspect.
29. How is the second paragraph organized?
A. By listing facts. B. By doing comparison.
C. By listing data D. By telling stories.
30. What’s the possible meanning of underlined words?
A. A way of eating which will make us slim.
B. An eating habit which is healthy for all.
C. A real treatment for people who feel hungry.
D. A style of eating where people will eat too much food than their bodies need.
31. What’s the purpose of the author in this passage?
A. To tell us the improvement of will power is the key to achieving our goals.
B. To do a comparison between strong willpower and weak willpower.
C. To tell readers to cherish what we have now.
D. To give people a test about the ability to control themselves.
D
Whether you consume it in ice cream, coffee, cupcakes, pudding, or protein shakes, the vanilla you eat in the future might taste just a little bit sweeter thanks to a surprising new ingredient (材料): used plastic.
Admittedly, it doesn’t sound very delicious. To scientists Joanna Sadler and Stephen Wallace at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, however, what’s even less delicious is plastic waste, which currently enters the ocean at a rate of 8 million tons per year — enough plastic waste to outweigh all of the ocean’s fish by the year 2050. To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin — extracting (提取) from plastics, which gives vanilla unique smell and flavor.
Although it can be found in natural vanilla bean, vanillin also can be made using chemicals coming from petrol. To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified (使转化) a strain of E.coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles.
According to their research paper, around 85% of the world’s vanillin is synthesized (合成) from chemicals that are obtained from fossil fuels. That’s because demand for vanillin — which is used widely not only in food, but also in beauty products, cleaning products. In Madagascar, which grows 80 % of the world’s natural vanilla, pollinating, harvesting, and curing vanilla beans is a long and painstaking process that couldn’t possibly produce enough vanillin for the world. And even if it could, the only way to naturally increase vanillin supply would be to plant more vanilla plantations, which would drive the decrease of forests.
Being able to create vanillin with plastic means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and protecting forests.
“Using microorganisms to turn waste plastics, which are harmful to the environment, into an important product is a beautiful example of green chemistry,” said Ellis Crawford, publishing editor at the United Kingdom’s Royal Society of Chemistry.
32. How do scientists produce vanilla by scientists?
A. Extracting it from plastic bottles. B. Forming it with bacteria.
C. Changing the formula of protein shakes. D. Taking it from ocean lives.
33. What’s the key motivation that drives scientists to turn plastic waste into vanilla?
A. It is cost-saving.
B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It can stop animals in the ocean from dying.
D. It may taste delicious.
34. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Madagascar is the biggest vanilla import country in the world.
B. Making natural vanilla is a difficult process.
C. Enlarging vanilla plantation is environmentally-friendly.
D. Producing vanilla from plastic is a win-win solution.
35. Where will you possibly read this passage?
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel journal.
C. In an economic textbook. D. In an advertisement.

67. 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。
Karl walked to the back of the classroom to put his book away. There, lying on the carpet in front of the bookcase, was a golden ticket! He picked it up. His heart beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank.
The boys and girls in Karl’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their work or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week his teacher, Miss Evans, drew a ticket out of a jar, and let the winner choose a prize. Karl couldn’t believe his luck.
The golden ticket was going to be drawn, and here was another ticket, just for him. He looked around, but no one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other.
Karl decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize jar with the tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, at least one of his tickets would be picked! Then he could choose the pink pig as his sister’s birthday present, just like what he had been hoping for.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat.
He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. He did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Maybe whoever lost it was looking for it. But he needed this extra ticket for his great plan!
He remembered what Dad had told him and his sister. “When you make a right choice, you can feel peaceful inside. You never have to feel bad about your choice later.”
Paragraph 1:
He put the pencil back in his pocket.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Karl, I’d like you to have another ticket,” Miss Evans said.
