What do you do with old stuff (物品)? That dress you bought for a party three years ago, for example. You wore it once and it’s been hanging in your wardrobe ever since. You could throw it away, but that seems wasteful — after all it’s still perfectly usable. So, what to do? In the UK, we might take it to a charity shop.
The first charity shops appeared in Britain in the 19th century. The Salvation Army, a UK charity, was one of the first to run a second- hand clothing shop to provide the needy with affordable clothes. This was followed by charities such as the British Red Cross, who also relieved (缓解) hardship and raised money for the war effort during World War II. The modern form we know today was opened in 1947 by Oxfam.
These days, there are around 11,200 charity shops across the UK. During business hours, anyone can donate (捐) their unwanted items (物品) to a charity shop— clothes, books, electronics, furniture. Most charity shops will take anything. These items are checked for wear and tear and if found still serviceable, priced up to be sold at a heavily discounted price.
To the charity, it means a valuable source of revenue (收益) , which they can use to pursue their charitable aim. To the consumer, it provides the chance to buy, often extremely cheaply, items and clothes. Though previously owned, they are durable (耐用的). To the donor, it declutters (清理) and may help to lessen consumer guilt.
Usually, a buyer has bought something very cheaply, only to later discover its true value — such as a screen print bought for 99p and later found to be by English artist Ben Nicholson. It sold at auction (拍卖) for £4,200. So next time you need to throw something, spare a thought for the charity shop — after all, charity begins at home!
4. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. How the first charity shops appeared in the UK. B. The history of charity shops in the UK.
C. The ups and downs of charity shops in the UK. D. Charity shops in the UK during World War II.

B. Charity shops are open 24 hours a day.
C. Most charity shops mainly accept clothes donations.
D. Charity shops are more popular with young people.
6. What does the author think of the existence of charity shops?
A. It will be short- lived. B. It is a double- edged sword.
C. It is a case where no side gains. D. It is a winning situation for three sides.
7. Why does the author take the example of the screen print?
A. To tell us that charity begins at home.
B. To advise people to go to charity shops.
C. To show most items in charity shops are valuable.
D. To show there might be hidden treasures in charity shops.
C
The arts especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive(积极的) to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of audiences. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their characters. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
8. How could music make students smarter?
A. By improving their memory and attention.
B. By improving their classroom skills and imagination.
C. By making them brave, knowledgeable and modest.
D. By learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas.
9. What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Unwilling to turn on. B. Always looking for.
C. Unwilling to leave. D. Always playing.
10 What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Music brings children success. B. Music gives children self-expression.
C. Music helps children achieve their dream. D. Music develops children’s self-confidence.
11. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Music Is a Must as a Course at School B. Music Builds Children’s Self-confidence
C. Music Makes Students Much Smarter D. Learning Music Is Very Important
D
A long-nosed fur seal that was tagged in Tasmania as a baby seal has suddenly turned up in Victoria 25 years later, causing a rethink of how long the animal can survive in the wild.
The male fur seal was tagged with an obvious “830” marking on its right side of the body in 1996. The marking recently caught the attention of Victorian wildlife officers who tried to find out where the seal was from and who once put the little seal there.
“We were excited to respond to this call and gain important updated information from research activities done more than 20 years ago,” said the Tasmanian Environment Department marine biologist Sam Thalmann.“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.” Mr Thalmann said the seal also surprised the researchers in other ways. “We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life, but this seal tells another story,” he said. “Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”
Long-nosed fur seals are found around the coasts of southeastern Australia, southern NSW and New Zealand. The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s. But in 1987, the species reappeared in Tasmanian waters and formed a breeding group on Maatsuyker Island, about 10km off the state’s south coast. In the wild, seals are eaten by several species of sharks including the white shark.
The species is now still protected and listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act. But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.
12. What did the officers think about long-nosed fur seals after knowing about this one?
A. They have many secrets unknown to humans.
B. They have the strong ability to live independently.
C. They now have a much better living environment.
D. They can live much longer than people once believed.
13. What does the author mean by saying “this seal tells another story” in Paragraph 3?
A. This seal is still in good physical condition.
B. This seal is much older than other fur seals.
C This seal draws more attention from researchers.
D. This seal never moves along the Tasmanian coast.
14. What almost led to the complete disappearance of long-nosed fur seals?
A. Having lost their natural homes. B. Being overhunted by humans.
C. Being killed by the white shark. D. Suffering from climate change.
15. How does the author most probably find the situation of long-nosed fur seals now?
A. Risky. B. Hopeful. C. Worrying. D. Shocking.

Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
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。
Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.

What do you do with old stuff (物品)? That dress you bought for a party three years ago, for example. You wore it once and it’s been hanging in your wardrobe ever since. You could throw it away, but that seems wasteful — after all it’s still perfectly usable. So, what to do? In the UK, we might take it to a charity shop.
The first charity shops appeared in Britain in the 19th century. The Salvation Army, a UK charity, was one of the first to run a second- hand clothing shop to provide the needy with affordable clothes. This was followed by charities such as the British Red Cross, who also relieved (缓解) hardship and raised money for the war effort during World War II. The modern form we know today was opened in 1947 by Oxfam.
These days, there are around 11,200 charity shops across the UK. During business hours, anyone can donate (捐) their unwanted items (物品) to a charity shop— clothes, books, electronics, furniture. Most charity shops will take anything. These items are checked for wear and tear and if found still serviceable, priced up to be sold at a heavily discounted price.
To the charity, it means a valuable source of revenue (收益) , which they can use to pursue their charitable aim. To the consumer, it provides the chance to buy, often extremely cheaply, items and clothes. Though previously owned, they are durable (耐用的). To the donor, it declutters (清理) and may help to lessen consumer guilt.
Usually, a buyer has bought something very cheaply, only to later discover its true value — such as a screen print bought for 99p and later found to be by English artist Ben Nicholson. It sold at auction (拍卖) for £4,200. So next time you need to throw something, spare a thought for the charity shop — after all, charity begins at home!
4. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. How the first charity shops appeared in the UK. B. The history of charity shops in the UK.
C. The ups and downs of charity shops in the UK. D. Charity shops in the UK during World War II.
5. What can we know about charity shops in the UK?
A. Charity shops are a common sight.
B. Charity shops are open 24 hours a day.
C. Most charity shops mainly accept clothes donations.
D. Charity shops are more popular with young people.
6. What does the author think of the existence of charity shops?
A. It will be short- lived. B. It is a double- edged sword.
C. It is a case where no side gains. D. It is a winning situation for three sides.
7. Why does the author take the example of the screen print?
A. To tell us that charity begins at home.
B. To advise people to go to charity shops.
C. To show most items in charity shops are valuable.
D. To show there might be hidden treasures in charity shops.

The Salvation Army, a UK charity, was one of the first to run a second- hand clothing shop to provide the needy with affordable clothes.

To the consumer, it provides the chance to buy, often extremely cheaply, items and clothes. Though previously owned, they are durable(耐用的). To the donor, it declutters(清理) and may help to lessen consumer guilt.(对慈善机构来说,这意味着一个有价值的收入来源,他们可以用它来实现他们的慈善目标。对消费者来说,它提供了购买通常极其便宜的物品和衣服的机会。虽然以前有过,但它们很耐用。对捐赠人来说,它可以使物品变得整洁,并有助于减轻消费者的负罪感。)”可知,对于消费者,捐赠者和慈善机构来说是都有好处的,是三方双赢的局面。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Usually, a buyer has bought something very cheaply, only to later discover its true value — such as a screen print bought for 99p and later found to be by English artist Ben Nicholson. It sold at auction(拍卖) for £4,200. (通常,买家买了非常便宜的东西,后来才发现它的真正价值——比如一幅99便士的丝网版画,后来发现是英国艺术家本·尼科尔森(Ben Nicholson)的作品。它在拍卖会上以4200英镑的价格售出。)”可知,作者以丝网版画为例,说明慈善商店中可能隐藏着宝藏。故选D。
C
The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive(积极的) to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band. Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of audiences. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their characters. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
8. How could music make students smarter?
A. By improving their memory and attention.
B. By improving their classroom skills and imagination.
C. By making them brave, knowledgeable and modest.
D. By learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas.
9. What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Unwilling to turn on. B. Always looking for.
C. Unwilling to leave. D. Always playing.
10. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Music brings children success. B. Music gives children self-expression.
C Music helps children achieve their dream. D. Music develops children’s self-confidence.
11. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Music Is a Must as a Course at School B. Music Builds Children’s Self-confidence
C. Music Makes Students Much Smarter D. Learning Music Is Very Important
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了音乐对学生有诸多好处,应该成为学校课程的一部分。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions.(如果学生们有一些音乐经验,他们会聪明得多。他们可以提高课堂技能,比如专心听讲和听从指示。)”和“Making music also lets children use their imagination.(制作音乐也能让孩子们发挥想象力。)”可知,音乐能够提升课堂技能和想象力,这让学生变得更聪明。故选B。
【9题详解】
短语猜测题。instead of表明前后之间是相反的情况,画线词前“Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music”说父母可以听孩子演奏音乐,结合画线词后的“a computer or TV screen”可知,这里是说有了音乐后父母就不用看到孩子盯着电脑或电视屏幕看。glued to表示“目不转睛地看”,与unwilling to leave(不愿离开)意思最接近。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段第一句“Music builds self-confidence, too.(音乐也能建立自信。)”是本段主旨句,本段主要讲述了音乐可以帮助孩子们建立自信。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段第一句“The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level.(艺术,尤其是音乐,应该成为每个学校各个年级课程的一部分。)”和最后一段最后一句“That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.(这就是为什么每个学校的每个年级都应该提供音乐。)”可知,音乐对孩子有很多好处,学校有必要把音乐当作课程的一部分。故A项“音乐是学校的必修课”为最佳标题。故选A。
D
A long-nosed fur seal that was tagged in Tasmania as a baby seal has suddenly turned up in Victoria 25 years later, causing a rethink of how long the animal can survive in the wild.
The male fur seal was tagged with an obvious “830” marking on its right side of the body in 1996. The marking recently caught the attention of Victorian wildlife officers who tried to find out where the seal was from and who once put the little seal there.
“We were excited to respond to this call and gain important updated information from research activities done more than 20 years ago,” said the Tasmanian Environment Department marine biologist Sam Thalmann.“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.” Mr Thalmann said the seal also surprised the researchers in other ways. “We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life, but this seal tells another story,” he said. “Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”
Long-nosed fur seals are found around the coasts of southeastern Australia, southern NSW and New Zealand. The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s. But in 1987, the species reappeared in Tasmanian waters and formed a breeding group on Maatsuyker Island, about 10km off the state’s south coast. In the wild, seals are eaten by several species of sharks including the white shark.
The species is now still protected and listed as rare under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act. But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.
12. What did the officers think about long-nosed fur seals after knowing about this one?
A. They have many secrets unknown to humans.
B. They have the strong ability to live independently.
C. They now have a much better living environment.
D. They can live much longer than people once believed.
13. What does the author mean by saying “this seal tells another story” in Paragraph 3?
A. This seal is still in good physical condition.
B. This seal is much older than other fur seals.
C. This seal draws more attention from researchers.
D. This seal never moves along the Tasmanian coast.
14. What almost led to the complete disappearance of long-nosed fur seals?
A Having lost their natural homes. B. Being overhunted by humans.
C. Being killed by the white shark. D. Suffering from climate change.
15. How does the author most probably find the situation of long-nosed fur seals now?
A. Risky. B. Hopeful. C. Worrying. D. Shocking.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一只在塔斯马尼亚被贴上标签的长鼻海狗,25年后突然在维多利亚出现,引发了人们对这种动物在野外能存活多久的重新思考。文章介绍了这只长鼻海狗的一些相关情况以及数量恢复情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scientists used to think the animals can live for at most 19 years, but this sighting of the fur seal 25 years after it was marked provides exciting new knowledge about the longest lifespan for wild fur seals in Australia.(科学家们过去认为这种动物最多能活19年,但这只长鼻海狗在被标记25年后再次出现,为我们提供了关于澳大利亚野生长鼻海狗寿命最长的令人兴奋的新知识)”可知,知道这只海狗后,官员们认为它们的寿命比人们曾经认为的要长得多。故选D。
【13题详解】
句意猜测题。根据第三段中“We see a lot of old male fur seals that are past their best years of health and move along the Tasmanian coast as they reach their end of life”以及“Unlike others, it may continue to live in good health for years to come.”可知,他说看到很多年老的雄性海狗已经度过了它们最好的健康岁月,在它们生命的尽头沿着塔斯马尼亚海岸移动,但这只长鼻海狗与其他动物不同,它可能会在未来几年继续健康地生活。所以可见这只海狗的身体状况仍然很好。故意思是“这只长鼻海狗的身体状况仍然很好”。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment said long-nosed fur seals were once close to complete disappearance due to the fur trade in the 1800s.(塔斯马尼亚初级工业、公园、水和环境部表示,由于19世纪的皮毛贸易,长鼻海狗一度接近完全消失)”可知,被人类过度捕杀几乎导致了长鼻海狗的完全消失。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But the number of this species is recovering fast. Now the total population in Tasmania is 4,000 to 4,500. About 1,000 baby seals are born annually there now. Australia-wide, the population is about 58,000.(但这个物种的数量正在迅速恢复。现在塔斯马尼亚的总数量是4000到4500只。现在那里每年大约有1000只小海豹出生。全澳大利亚的长鼻海狗数量约为5.8万)”可推知,作者认为现在长鼻海狗的情况还有希望。故选B。

By finding out the causes, you can know how to avoid these situations. ____18____Just knowing when you’re more likely to bite may help solve the problem.
Replace the nail-biting habit with a good habit. When you feel like biting your nails, try playing with a stress ball or something else instead. ___19___

【16题详解】
根据前文“Nail biting (咬指甲) usually begins in childhood and can continue through adulthood.(咬指甲通常始于儿童时期,并可能持续到成年)”以及后文“It can also cause possible bacterial infection in your nail beds and mouth.(它还可能导致指甲床和口腔的细菌感染)”可知,前文是介绍咬指甲的习惯,后文讲述咬指甲的坏处,所以空出应是过渡句,F项“But repeated nail biting can make the skin around your nails feel sore.(但是反复咬指甲会让指甲周围的皮肤感到疼痛)”承接上文 ,和上文构成转折关系,并引出下文,符合文意。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Keep your nails short.(保持指甲短)”可知,本段主题是剪短指甲可以避免咬指甲,所以B项“Having short nails provides nothing to bite.(短指甲没有什么可咬的)”是对前文的进一步解释,其中short nails为同词复现,符合文意。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Identify your triggers (诱因). These could be physical triggers, such as the presence of hangnails (逆刺皮), or other triggers, such as boredom, stress, or anxiety. By finding out the causes, you can know how to avoid these situations.(确定你的触发因素。这些可能是身体上的触发因素,比如有倒刺,也可能是其他的触发因素,比如无聊、压力或焦虑。通过找出原因,你可以知道如何避免这些情况)”以及后文“Just knowing when you ‘ re more likely to bite may help solve the problem.(只要知道你什么时候更容易咬指甲就能解决这个问题)”可知,本段主要讲述找出诱使你咬指甲的原因,然后根据原因来解决它,所以C项“Accordingly, you can develop a plan to stop.(据此,你可以制定一个停止的计划)”承接上文,下文是对本句的进一步解释。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结;根据前文“Replace the nail-biting habit with a good habit. When you feel like biting your nails , try playing with a stress ball or something else instead.(用一个好习惯取代咬指甲的习惯。当你想咬指甲时,试着玩压力球或其他东西)”可知,本段讲述让自己的手去做一些其他有益的事来避免咬指甲的行为,所以D项“This will help keep your hands busy and away from your mouth.(这将有助于让你的手忙碌起来,远离你的嘴)”符合文意。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Try to stop biting your nails step by step.(试着一步一步地停止咬指甲)”可知,本段讲述一步步停止咬指甲,所以E项“Try to stop biting one set of nails , such as your thumb nails, first.(先试着不咬一组指甲,比如大拇指指甲)”是对前文建议的具体做法,引出后文“When that’s successful, move forward to your pointer nails, or even an entire hand. The final goal is to get to the point where you no longer bite any of your nails.(当这种方法成功时,继续使用你的食指指甲,甚至整个手。最终的目标是达到你不再咬指甲的地步)”符合文意。故选E项。

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。
Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened?”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.

【答案】Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness.” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!" Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up.
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.
