But he hasn’t spent this time preparing for court. His mission is to save the world’s oceans from plastic pollution. It’s a calling he found in 2015 after moving to a community in Mumbai called Versova Beach. He had played there as a child and was upset to see how much it had changed. The sand was no longer visible because it was covered by a layer of garbage more than five feet thick — most of it was plastic waste. The unsightly(难看的)mess Shah had stumbled upon is part of a global environmental crisis. It’s predicted that by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. In October 2015, Shah began picking up trash from the beach every Sunday morning. At first, it was just him and a neighbor, and then he began recruiting others to join in. Word spread and with the help from social media, more volunteers got involved. He’s now spent 209 weekends dedicated to this mission, inspiring more than 200,000 volunteers to join him in what’s been called the world’s biggest beach clean-up. By October 2018, Versova Beach was finally clean and Shah’s clean-up expanded to another beach, as well as a stretch of the Mithi River and other regions of India. So far, the movement has cleared more than 60 million pounds of garbage — mostly plastic waste — from Mumbai’s beaches and waterways. While he continues to work as a lawyer during the week, Shah now devotes nearly all of his free time to this cause. He also works with coastal communities to tackle plastic pollution at one of the sources. In areas lacking sufficient waste management systems, Shah and his volunteers educate and assist villagers in reducing, managing, and recycling their plastic waste. 4. What has kept Shah busy at weekends over the four years? A. Handling legal cases. B. Cleaning up the beach. C. Swimming in the ocean. D. Fishing on the coast. 5. Why was Shah upset after moving to Versova Beach? A. The beach no longer existed. B. The community was in a mess. C. Many fish in the ocean were killed. D. There was severe plastic pollution. 6. How did Shah carry out his mission? A. By raising money to recycle plastic waste. B By encouraging others to join his clean-up. C. By appealing to people not to throw garbage. D. By devoting all his time to collecting garbage. 7. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “tackle” in the last paragraph? A. Report. B. Predict. C. Deal with. D. Cover up. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了孟买的一名名叫Afroz Shah的律师，从2015年开始每个周末在海滩清理垃圾，并影响了周围的人共同参与这一活动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“His mission is to save the world’s oceans from plastic pollution.(他的使命是拯救世界海洋免受塑料污染。)”以及第三段“In October 2015, Shah began picking up trash from the beach every Sunday morning.(从2015年10月起，Shah开始每周日早上在海滩上捡垃圾。)”可知，Shah周末在忙着清理沙滩。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The sand was no longer visible because it was covered by a layer of garbage more than five feet thick — most of it was plastic waste.(沙子已经看不见了，因为上面覆盖着一层超过5英尺厚的垃圾，其中大部分是塑料垃圾。)”可推断，Shah感到不安的原因是看到沙滩上都是塑料污染。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In October 2015, Shah began picking up trash from the beach every Sunday morning. At first, it was just him and a neighbor, and then he began recruiting others to join in. Word spread and with the help from social media, more volunteers got involved. He’s now spent 209 weekends dedicated to this mission, inspiring more than 200,000 volunteers to join him in what’s been called the world’s biggest beach clean-up.(从2015年10月起，Shah开始每周日早上在海滩上捡垃圾。起初，只有他和一个邻居，后来他开始招募其他人加入。消息传开了，在社交媒体的帮助下，更多的志愿者参与了进来。他现在已经花了209个周末来完成这项任务，激励了20多万名志愿者加入他的行列，这被称为世界上最大的海滩清理行动。)”可推断，Shah通过自身的行动来激励人们参加这一清理沙滩行动。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“In areas lacking sufficient waste management systems, Shah and his volunteers educate and assist villagers in reducing, managing, and recycling their plastic waste.(在缺乏足够废物管理系统的地区，Shah和他的志愿者教育和帮助村民减少、管理和回收塑料垃圾。)”可知，Shah是想解决塑料污染问题。所以 tackle为“解决、处理”之意。故选C。 C There are few creators whose legacy (遗产) is as far-reaching as Walt Disney. Disney transformed a simple cartoon mouse into a huge empire. Through the years, Disney also had his share of critics. But his view of criticism (批评) may be different than what you’d imagine. Way back in 1975, the book The Story of Walt Disney shared one of my favorite quotes from the famous entertainer. “You may not realize it when it happens, but may be the best thing in the world for you.” There is a lot to be learned from that sentence. As you go through life, there will be no shortage of persons telling you what you need to improve. You could simply ignore them or you could do what Disney did: use that negative feedback to make you better. Negative feedback is like a freshly mined (开采的) diamond. On the surface, you’ve got what would appear to most persons to be a dull, ugly rock. But to a trained eye, that ugly rock is extremely valuable. All it needs is a little cut and polish (抛光). Criticism is like an unpolished diamond: it is ugly. Here you are, trying your best, and someone comes along to tell you it’s not good enough. But much like a processional diamond cutter can take that unpolished rock and turn it into something beautiful, you can learn to get the benefits of criticism. Think about it: smart as you are, there’s always room for improvement. Additionally, all of us have blind spots. Of course, some criticism will be completely wrong. But even in these cases, it’s valuable because it helps you to see your actions through another perspective (角度), one you may not have considered. Learning to benefit from such criticism takes emotional intelligence-the ability to make emotions work for you, instead of against you. The key is to change the way you process criticism and learn to turn negative feedback into something constructive. It never feels good to hear that you are wrong. When you do, take a page out of Walt’s book and remember: it is the ones who tell you the truth-even when it hurts-who will make you better. 8. How is the third paragraph mainly developed? A. By offering numbers. B. By analyzing causes. C. By comparison. D. By describing a process. 9. Why is even wrong criticism meaningful? A. It offers you a fresh perspective. B. It leads you to rethink your blind spots. C. It prepares you for future similar criticism. D. It helps improve your emotional intelligence. 10. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Learn to see criticism in a different light. B. Polish your skills of emotional intelligence. C. Train yourself to ignore negative feedback. D. Face criticism and set another goal. 11. What is the writer’s feeling towards Walt Disney? A. Anger. B. Embarrassment. C. Fear. D. Admiration. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过Walt Disney对批评的理解和处理方式，讲述了要学会用另外一个角度来看待批评。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Negative feedback is like a freshly mined diamond. On the surface, you’ve got what would appear to most persons to be a dull, ugly rock. But to a trained eye, that ugly rock is extremely valuable. All it needs is a little cut and polish. Criticism is like an unpolished diamond: it is ugly. Here you are, trying your best, and someone comes along to tell you it’s not good enough. But much like a processional diamond cutter can take that unpolished rock and turn it into something beautiful, you can learn to get the benefits of criticism.(负面反馈就像新开采的钻石。从表面上看，你得到的是一块在大多数人看来又钝又丑的石头。但在专业人士看来，这块丑陋的石头却极其珍贵。它所需要的只是一点切割和抛光。批评就像一颗未经打磨的钻石：它是丑陋的。你在这里，尽你最大的努力，有人过来告诉你这还不够好。但就像专业的钻石切割师可以把未经打磨的石头变成美丽的东西一样，你可以学会从批评中获益)”可知，文章第三段把负面反馈比喻成刚刚挖掘出来的钻石，使用了对比的方式进行阐述。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Of course, some criticism will be completely wrong. But even in these cases, it’s valuable because it helps you to see your actions through another perspective (角度), one you may not have considered.(当然，有些批评是完全错误的。但即使在这些情况下，它也是有价值的，因为它可以帮助你从另一个角度看待你的行为，一个你可能没有考虑过的角度)”可知，甚至是错误的批评也是有意义的，因为它提供了一个新的角度看待你的行为。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Through the years, Disney also had his share of critics. But his view of criticism (批评) may be different than what you’d imagine.(多年来，迪斯尼也得到一些批评。但他对批评的看法可能与你想象的不同)”以及下文内容可知，文章通过Walt Disney对批评的理解和处理方式，讲述了要学会用另外一个角度来看待批评，故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“There are few creators whose legacy (遗产) is as far-reaching as Walt Disney. Disney transformed a simple cartoon mouse into a vast empire. (很少有创作者的遗产像沃尔特·迪斯尼那样深远。迪斯尼把一只简单的卡通鼠变成了一个巨大的帝国)”以及最后一段“When you do, take a page out of Walt’s book and remember: it is the ones who tell you the truth-even when it hurts-who will make you better.(当你这样做的时候，向沃尔特的书学习一页，记住：是那些告诉你真相的人——即使它会伤害你——会让你变得更好)”以及文中，多次应用了沃尔特·迪斯尼的话，可推断，作者认为沃尔特·迪斯尼是令人钦佩的。故选D项。 D Sitting around doing nothing used to seem like one of the safest activities possible. Then a few years ago scientists discovered that sitting all clay causes harmful changes that increase your chances of meeting an early end. Even regular workouts didn't fix the ill effects of having your bottom in a chair all workday. Suddenly, sitting became public health enemy number one. However, a new research finds that tiny bursts of intense activity are enough to protect your body from the worst effects of your couch-bound lifestyle. In the research, the scientists closely observed eight young, healthy volunteers as they sat around. On the first day of the experiment they simply lounged for six hours. On the second day they got up every hour and engaged in five rounds of four seconds of intense workouts on a specialized bike. "Twenty seconds total exercise an hour sounds like nothing, but the data showed it made a big difference to the subjects' bodies. In short, they didn't exhibit the usual ill effects of having sat all day. This study is small, but it's still both hopeful and relevant. The results suggest that breaking up sitting with frequent exercise can undo some of the effects of being inactive," explains Gretchen Reynolds. "While the study used a special type of bike developed by sports scientists, the researchers feel similar results are obtainable with home exercise equipment. However, you may have to work for a few more seconds to reach the same level of intensity. You should try to get your heart pumping to its maximum as quickly as possible to ensure the effect. When you find yourself sitting for most of the day, try to rise frequently and move as often during the day as possible and for as many seconds as you can manage," Reynolds concludes. 12. What does the new research find? A. Regular workouts can extend your life. B. Sitting all clay can cause permanent harm. C. Sitting is a worst enemy for people's health. D. Intense exercise can relieve the damage of sitting. 13. How did the researchers reach the conclusion? A. By comparing figures. B. By analyzing phenomena. C. By describing behaviors. D. By referring to documents. 14. What can we know from Reynolds' words? A. The study still needs further experiments for data. B. Reaching maximum heart rate should be the aim. C. Working out at home is much less effective. D. 20 seconds' exercise is far from enough. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. The Worst Health Problem Is Solved B. Intense Activities Are Beneficial to Health C. Just 4 Seconds' Exercise Makes a Big Difference D. New Research Redefines a Healthy Lifestyle 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。久坐会给人体带来很大的危害，研究发现，短促而激烈的运动可以迅速达到最高心率，缓解这种危害。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“However, a new research finds that tiny bursts of intense activity are enough to protect your body from the worst effects of your couch-bound lifestyle.”（然而，一项新的研究发现，少量的高强度运动足以保护你的身体免受终日赖在沙发上生活方式的最坏影响。）可知，这项新的研究发现剧烈运动可以减轻久坐带来的损害。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Twenty seconds total exercise an hour sounds like nothing, but the data showed it made a big difference to the subjects' bodies. ”（每小时20秒的锻炼听起来没什么，但数据显示，这对受试者的身体有很大的影响。）可知，研究者通过比较数据得到了实验结论。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“You should try to get your heart pumping to its maximum as quickly as possible to ensure the effect. ”（你应该尽可能快地让你的心脏跳动到最大，以确保效果。）可知，达到最大心率应该是目标。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Twenty seconds total exercise an hour sounds like nothing, but the data showed it made a big difference to the subjects' bodies.”（每小时20秒的锻炼听起来没什么，但数据显示，这对受试者的身体有很大的影响。）可知，研究发现只有几秒的锻炼可以带来很大的不同，能够缓解久坐带来的危害。所以最好的标题是“仅仅4秒钟的锻炼就会有很大的不同”，能够强调短促而激烈的运动的好处。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，从短文后的选项中可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Say you're out for a walk in the woods. ___16___. Nor can you tell the direction from which you've come. You're lost. How can you survive? Here's the good news: You don't need to be a survival expert to find your way back to civilization. Just stay calm and remember these tips. Pinpoint (定位) your location. Take a good look around. What do you see? ___17___ pinpointing your location will be difficult. If possible, find higher ground, giving yourself a better view of the surroundings. Otherwise, you may end up walking directionless and possibly in circles. ___18___. While traveling through the wilderness, be observant. Look for old campsites, fishing line, food bags, cigarette ends, plastic water bottles, or any other kind of litter. If you find any such evidence, examine your surroundings to determine which way they went. If possible, stick to open country. ___19___. This type of terrain (地带) is often a result of farming or logging (伐木), which may put you closer to other people. Plus, being out in the open makes it easier for you to be spotted by a low flying aircraft. Be sure to have something ready to signal with in case a rescue plane flies nearby. Travel downhill. If you are lost in hilly terrain, your best choice is almost always to travel downhill. People tend to settle in valleys, usually close to water. ___20___, head down and out of the mountains. Besides, you can cover more terrain and conserve energy traveling downhill. A. Find your way out B. Look for signs of people C. If the answer is a thick forest D. Sometimes, it's not easy to find open country E. Suddenly, you don't recognize your surroundings F. Unless you have seen signs of people at higher places G. Traveling in open country is a good way to find signs of civilization 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要内容介绍了如果在野外旅行迷了路，可以根据你所处的不同地形，找到定位自己的方法，找到求生之路。 【16题详解】 根据空后的根据后文Nor can you tell the direction from which you've come. You're lost. How can you survive?(你也说不清你来的方向。你迷路了。你怎么能活下来？)可知，E选项Suddenly, you don't recognize your surroundings (突然间，你认不出周围的环境了)符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据空后的pinpointing your location will be difficult.(确定你的位置将是困难的)可知，C选项设定了一个情景，提到如果你身处于一片茂密的森林，确定你的位置是困难的；且the answer是用来回答上文的What do you see?C选项能够承接上下文。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文While traveling through the wilderness, be observant. Look for old campsites, fishing line, food bags, cigarette ends, plastic water bottles, or any other kind of litter.(在荒野中旅行时，要注意观察．寻找旧的露营地、钓鱼线、食物袋、烟头、塑料水瓶或任何其他垃圾)可知，此处是在寻找人的迹象。 根据全文结构来看，此空选择一个段落小标题。根据后文While traveling through the wilderness, be observant. Look for old campsites, fishing line, food bags, cigarette ends, plastic water bottles, or any other kind of litter.(在荒野中旅行时，要注意观察。寻找旧的露营地、钓鱼线、食物袋、烟头、塑料水瓶或任何其他垃圾)可知，此处是在寻找人的迹象。B选项Look for signs of people (寻找人类的踪迹)可以概括下文内容。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据空前的小标题If possible, stick to open country.(如果可能的话，坚持去开阔的乡村)可知，选项G中的open country和小标题内容相呼应，且G选项Traveling in open country is a good way to find signs of civilization (在野外旅行是发现文明迹象的好方法)顺承上文，交代了去open country的好处。其中D选项Sometimes, it's not easy to find open country (有时，要找到开阔的地方并不容易)内容与原文无关。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空前If you are lost in hilly terrain, your best choice is almost always to travel downhill.(如果你在丘陵地带迷路，你最好的选择就是往低处走)可知，F选项Unless you have seen signs of people at higher places (除非你在高处看到人的迹象，否则请下山，走出山区)能顺承上下文，也就是说你在丘陵地带迷路时，除非看到高处有人的迹象，否则就下山、走出山区。故选F。 【点睛】单词复现法是七选五常用的大题技巧之一，即选项和原文中的某些词相同或互为词根词缀的形式相呼应。比如第4题，原文If possible, stick to open country.中的open country和下文的Traveling in open country is a good way to find signs of civilization的内容相呼应，但要注意排除干扰选项。 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every June, our children are given bowls to collect leaves.

Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life. As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er... What... What do you really want to do in the gorgeous(灿烂的) future?” I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him down?” later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.” I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation. “Are you serious, dad?” “Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.” Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off for the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline. There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck. To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again. 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。 At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At that moment my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” Staring at the crab, I found that every time he wanted to escape, he was pulled back into the cage. However, he didn't give up his fight. Fortunately, he survived from the struggle eventually. Shocked and amazed, I suddenly understood why my father had suggested catching crabs that morning. I thought the future would be filled with many possibilities. Everyone would need to find out what he enjoyed and held on to it. From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true. Besides my devotion to school work, I spent all my spare time making full preparations for becoming a writer. Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me. Meanwhile, I contributed to literature journals. Gradually, some achievements as a writer increased my confidence. I always think of the crab whenever faced with difficulties. What my father said also encouraged me on my way to success. Now I am grateful for sticking to the thing I truly dreamed of. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者向父亲诉说自己想要成为作家的梦想，出乎作者意料，作者的父亲非常支持。作者的父亲带作者去捉螃蟹，有一只螃蟹一直锲而不舍最终成功逃离。作者从中学到了坚持和努力，最终在成为作家的道路上取得了越来越多的进步和成就。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，爸爸指着笼子说：‘看那只螃蟹，在那儿！’”可知，第一段可描写这是螃蟹一直不放弃最后成功逃离以及作者的感想。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，我就下定决心要实现我的梦想。”可知，第二段可描写作者为实现成为作家的梦想所付出的努力、取得的进步和成就。 2.续写线索：说出梦想——支持——捉螃蟹——感悟——追求梦想——进步——成就 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①凝视：stare at/gaze at ②建议：suggest/propose ③投稿：contribute to/submit to 情绪类 ①震惊：shocked/surprised ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1]Reading, collecting materials and writing made my life busy but fulfilled, which laid a good foundation for me.

B Afroz Shah, a lawyer in Mumbai, hasn’t had a weekend off in four years. But he hasn’t spent this time preparing for court. His mission is to save the world’s oceans from plastic pollution. It’s a calling he found in 2015 after moving to a community in Mumbai called Versova Beach. He had played there as a child and was upset to see how much it had changed. The sand was no longer visible because it was covered by a layer of garbage more than five feet thick — most of it was plastic waste. The unsightly(难看的)mess Shah had stumbled upon is part of a global environmental crisis. It’s predicted that by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. In October 2015, Shah began picking up trash from the beach every Sunday morning. At first, it was just him and a neighbor, and then he began recruiting others to join in. Word spread and with the help from social media, more volunteers got involved. He’s now spent 209 weekends dedicated to this mission, inspiring more than 200,000 volunteers to join him in what’s been called the world’s biggest beach clean-up. By October 2018, Versova Beach was finally clean and Shah’s clean-up expanded to another beach, as well as a stretch of the Mithi River and other regions of India. So far, the movement has cleared more than 60 million pounds of garbage — mostly plastic waste — from Mumbai’s beaches and waterways. While he continues to work as a lawyer during the week, Shah now devotes nearly all of his free time to this cause. He also works with coastal communities to tackle plastic pollution at one of the sources. In areas lacking sufficient waste management systems, Shah and his volunteers educate and assist villagers in reducing, managing, and recycling their plastic waste. 4. What has kept Shah busy at weekends over the four years? A. Handling legal cases. B. Cleaning up the beach. C. Swimming in the ocean. D. Fishing on the coast. 5. Why was Shah upset after moving to Versova Beach? A. The beach no longer existed. B. The community was in a mess. C. Many fish in the ocean were killed. D. There was severe plastic pollution. 6. How did Shah carry out his mission? A. By raising money to recycle plastic waste. B. By encouraging others to join his clean-up. C. By appealing to people not to throw garbage. D. By devoting all his time to collecting garbage. 7. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “tackle” in the last paragraph? A. Report. B. Predict. C. Deal with. D. Cover up. C There are few creators whose legacy (遗产) is as far-reaching as Walt Disney. Disney transformed a simple cartoon mouse into a huge empire. Through the years, Disney also had his share of critics. But his view of criticism (批评) may be different than what you’d imagine. Way back in 1975, the book The Story of Walt Disney shared one of my favorite quotes from the famous entertainer. “You may not realize it when it happens, but may be the best thing in the world for you.” There is a lot to be learned from that sentence. As you go through life, there will be no shortage of persons telling you what you need to improve. You could simply ignore them or you could do what Disney did: use that negative feedback to make you better. Negative feedback is like a freshly mined (开采的) diamond. On the surface, you’ve got what would appear to most persons to be a dull, ugly rock. But to a trained eye, that ugly rock is extremely valuable. All it needs is a little cut and polish (抛光). Criticism is like an unpolished diamond: it is ugly. Here you are, trying your best, and someone comes along to tell you it’s not good enough. But much like a processional diamond cutter can take that unpolished rock and turn it into something beautiful, you can learn to get the benefits of criticism. Think about it: smart as you are, there’s always room for improvement. Additionally, all of us have blind spots. Of course, some criticism will be completely wrong. But even in these cases, it’s valuable because it helps you to see your actions through another perspective (角度), one you may not have considered. Learning to benefit from such criticism takes emotional intelligence-the ability to make emotions work for you, instead of against you. The key is to change the way you process criticism and learn to turn negative feedback into something constructive. It never feels good to hear that you are wrong. When you do, take a page out of Walt’s book and remember: it is the ones who tell you the truth-even when it hurts-who will make you better. 8. How is the third paragraph mainly developed? A. By offering numbers. B. By analyzing causes. C. By comparison. D. By describing a process. 9. Why is even wrong criticism meaningful? A. It offers you a fresh perspective. B. It leads you to rethink your blind spots. C. It prepares you for future similar criticism. D. It helps improve your emotional intelligence. 10. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Learn to see criticism in a different light. B. Polish your skills of emotional intelligence. C. Train yourself to ignore negative feedback. D. Face criticism and set another goal. 11. What is the writer’s feeling towards Walt Disney? A. Anger. B. Embarrassment. C. Fear. D. Admiration. D Sitting around doing nothing used to seem like one of the safest activities possible. Then a few years ago scientists discovered that sitting all clay causes harmful changes that increase your chances of meeting an early end. Even regular workouts didn't fix the ill effects of having your bottom in a chair all workday. Suddenly, sitting became public health enemy number one. However, a new research finds that tiny bursts of intense activity are enough to protect your body from the worst effects of your couch-bound lifestyle. In the research, the scientists closely observed eight young, healthy volunteers as they sat around. On the first day of the experiment they simply lounged for six hours. On the second day they got up every hour and engaged in five rounds of four seconds of intense workouts on a specialized bike. "Twenty seconds total exercise an hour sounds like nothing, but the data showed it made a big difference to the subjects' bodies. In short, they didn't exhibit the usual ill effects of having sat all day. This study is small, but it's still both hopeful and relevant. The results suggest that breaking up sitting with frequent exercise can undo some of the effects of being inactive," explains Gretchen Reynolds. "While the study used a special type of bike developed by sports scientists, the researchers feel similar results are obtainable with home exercise equipment. However, you may have to work for a few more seconds to reach the same level of intensity. You should try to get your heart pumping to its maximum as quickly as possible to ensure the effect. When you find yourself sitting for most of the day, try to rise frequently and move as often during the day as possible and for as many seconds as you can manage," Reynolds concludes. 12. What does the new research find? A. Regular workouts can extend your life. B. Sitting all clay can cause permanent harm. C. Sitting is a worst enemy for people's health. D. Intense exercise can relieve the damage of sitting. 13. How did the researchers reach the conclusion? A. By comparing figures. B. By analyzing phenomena. C. By describing behaviors. D. By referring to documents. 14. What can we know from Reynolds' words? A. The study still needs further experiments for data. B. Reaching maximum heart rate should be the aim. C. Working out at home is much less effective. D. 20 seconds' exercise is far from enough. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. The Worst Health Problem Is Solved B.

Actually, I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did. My father was a lawyer, but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life. As was expected, he cleared his throat and started to say, “Er... What... What do you really want to do in the gorgeous(灿烂的) future?” I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone. I kept thinking, “Should I tell him my true thoughts? What if he gets angry? What if I let him down?” later I replied, “Well, I want to be a writer.” I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect. But surprisingly, “Interesting idea!” he answered. I was shocked, speaking in a low voice with hesitation. “Are you serious, dad?” “Well, you need confidence and good preparations, and you still have plenty of time. You need to find out what you really enjoy now. Look, it’s late. Let’s take the boat out tomorrow morning, just you and me. Maybe we can catch some crabs (螃蟹) for dinner, and we can talk more.” Early next morning we packed up the equipment and set off for the coast. We didn’t talk much, but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline. There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. “Let’s see if we are lucky,” he said, picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea. We waited a while, then my father stood up and said, “Give me a hand with this,” and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck. To our joy, the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs. Squatting (蹲) down, we watched them for a moment. At first they fought against each other to climb out hard, trying to escape. Many were pulled back into the cage. Later, some gave up, but there were still some crabs trying to escape again and again. 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。 At that moment, my father pointed to the cage, “Look at that crab, there!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I was determined to make my dream come true ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BACCB 6-10 CACAA 11-15 CBACB 16-20 CABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
