I stood on the road side watching the traffic carefully. When I saw it was safe, I moved forward to cross the road. Suddenly, a motorbike came from the wrong side and knocked me down and my things went all over. Thankfully, the driver was driving very slowly. My leg was only injured slightly. He apologized to me and called a taxi to drive me to the nearby hospital as soon as possible. After a medical examination, I was told that there was nothing serious. The doctor gave me some medicine for my injury. The driver insisted on paying the money for my goods, my examination and the medicine, but I refused. I thanked the driver for making the effort to send me to the hospital. I reminded him of the safety when he crosses a road. I will also regard this accident as an advance warning to me and be more careful when going out. Thank you for spending time listening to my story. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Depths of our Earth hold great wonders. Below we explore four deepest places on Earth. Veryovkina Cave, Georgia Its entrance is located 2,285 meters above sea level. In 2018, scientists reached its bottom at 2,212 meters down. They squeezed through tiny openings to get from one cave to another. Rockfalls and floods waited secretly at every turn. Scientists could develop new medicines from microorganisms found in cave samples. Caves also record ancient life and past climates. The Mariana Trench, the Pacific Ocean The Mariana Trench, with the maximum depth of 11,034 meters, is the deepest part of Earth’s surface. Pressure there is intolerable, but creatures like sea cucumbers (海参) still exist. Scientists exploring it can gain deeper insights into how plates move and why earthquakes and volcanoes occur. The Dead Sea, the Middle East The Dead Sea is the lowest point on land at about 1,400 feet (about 400 meters) below sea level. It’s nearly ten times saltier than ocean water, so you literally can’t sink in the Dead Sea! Scientists think it could go dry in a few decades. Despite its name, the Dead Sea holds life. A few kinds of algae (藻类) and bacteria love its salty water. Lake Baikal, Russia At the depth of 1,642 meters, Lake Baikal is the deepest inland body of water. The Baikal seal is the only known seal that lives in this world’s deepest freshwater lake. Scientists study the lake not only for the solid stuff beneath it that records climate history but because it’s in a zone where a plate is splitting apart, causing earthquakes. 21. What do we know about Veryovkina Cave? A. It was discovered in 2018. B. Its pressure is far from bearable. C. It is risky to explore. D. Its samples are of little practical value. 22. Where should scientists go to better know earth movement? A. Georgia & Russia. B. Russia & the Pacific Ocean. C. Georgia & the Pacific Ocean. D. The Middle East & Russia. 23. What do the four places have in common? A. They have some sign of life. B. They are over a thousand meters deep. C. They are results of climate change. D. They are all below sea level. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了世界上最深的四个地方。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Veryovkina Cave, Georgia部分中“Rockfalls and floods waited secretly at every turn.(岩崩和洪水暗地里伺机而动)”可知，探索Veryovkina洞穴很危险。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Mariana Trench, the Pacific Ocean部分中“Scientists exploring it can gain deeper insights into how plates move and why earthquakes and volcanoes occur.(科学家们探索它可以对板块如何移动以及地震和火山为什么会发生有更深入的了解)”以及Lake Baikal, Russia部分中“Scientists study the lake not only for the solid stuff beneath it that records climate history but because it’s in a zone where a plate is splitting apart, causing earthquakes.(科学家们研究这个湖不仅是因为它下面的固体物质记录了气候历史，还因为它处于一个板块分裂的区域，引发了地震)” 可知，要想更好地了解地壳运动，科学家们可以去马里亚纳海沟和贝加尔湖，即太平洋和俄罗斯。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Veryovkina Cave, Georgia部分中 “Scientists could develop new medicines from microorganisms found in cave samples.(科学家可以从洞穴样本中发现的微生物中开发出新药)”；The Mariana Trench, the Pacific Ocean部分中“Pressure there is intolerable, but creatures like sea cucumbers (海参) still exist.(那里的压力是无法忍受的，但像海参这样的生物仍然存在)”；The Dead Sea, the Middle East部分中“A few kinds of algae (藻类) and bacteria love its salty water.(一些藻类和细菌喜欢它的咸水)”以及Lake Baikal, Russia部分中“The Baikal seal is the only known seal that lives in this world’s deepest freshwater lake.(贝加尔湖海豹是唯一生活在世界最深淡水湖的已知海豹)”可知，这四个地方都有生命迹象。故选A。 B In 1957 a group of physicists gathered in a lecture hall to be addressed by a Chinese American woman. As she told her recent experiment and its results, the response was dead silence for two minutes, then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes. The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu, known as the First Lady of Physics, who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments. Born in 1912, Wu was unlike many Chinese women of her time, and received a formal education. Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists, she entered the university to study physics and began scientific studies. It was a time of rapid change in both the field of physics and China. Domestic unrest and a bad relationship with Japan made life at home uneasy. With the help of an uncle, she immigrated to the United States for graduate school. Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan, but a tour of the University of California, Berkeley — and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door — changed her mind. At Berkeley Wu was visible for her gender and race, her male colleagues commenting as much on her appearance as her keen mind. She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission (核裂变). After graduation, she headed to Smith College to teach women physics. During World War Two Wu went to Princeton University, where she became the physics departments first female instructor. But shortly after her arrival, her career took an unexpected turn in 1944. She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project. 24. Which word best describes the lecture in Paragraph 1? A. Boring. B. Humorous. C. Excellent. D. Common. 25. What inspired Wu to study physics? A. The formal education she received. B. The success of women scientists. C. The background of her family. D. The rapid change in the field of physics. 26. What happened to Wu in America? A. She was looked down on at Berkeley. B. She went to the University of Michigan at first. C. She taught women physics at Princeton University. D. She joined a top-secret research program at Columbia University. 27. Which of the following best describes Wu as a scientist? A. Modest and independent. B. Creative and warm-hearted. C. Responsible and cautious. D. Committed and ambitious. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了“物理界第一夫人”吴健雄的生平，讲述了她的求学经历，科研之路以及对核科学的贡献。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As she told the crowd about her recent experiment and its results, the response was dead silence for two minutes, then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes.(当她向人群讲述她最近的实验及其结果时，回应是两分钟的死寂，然后是持续了十分钟的雷鸣般的掌声)”可知，当她向听众介绍她的实验和结果后，现场先是沉默了两分钟，随后是长达十分钟的雷鸣般掌声，由此可推知，她的演讲很精彩。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists like Marie Curie, she entered National Central University to study physics and then began her scientific studies.(她被新发现和像玛丽·居里这样的女科学家的故事所吸引，于是进入中央大学学习物理，然后开始她的科学研究)”可知，吴健雄被新发现和像玛丽·居里这样的女科学家的故事所吸引，所以选择学习物理。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But shortly after her arrival, her career took an unexpected turn in 1944. She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project.(但在她到达后不久，1944年，她的职业生涯发生了意想不到的转折。她最终加入了哥伦比亚大学的一个绝密研究项目，该项目现在被称为曼哈顿计划)”可知，吴健雄到美国后，加入了哥伦比亚大学的一个绝密研究项目，该项目现在被称为曼哈顿计划。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu, known as the First Lady of Physics, who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments.(这位女士就是被称为“物理学第一夫人”的吴建雄，她通过在曼哈顿计划和其他开创性实验中的工作改变了核科学)”、第四段中“Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan, but a tour of the University of California, Berkeley-and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door-changed her mind.(吴原计划去密歇根大学，但在参观了加州大学伯克利分校后，听说该校的一个学生中心不允许女学生从前门进入，她改变了主意)”和“She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission (核裂变).(她很快获得了声誉，并成为新发现的核裂变现象的专家)”以及最后一段中“After graduation, she headed to Smith College to teach women physics. During World War Two Wu went to Princeton University, where she became the physics department’s first female instructor.(毕业后，她前往史密斯学院教授女性物理。第二次世界大战期间，吴去了普林斯顿大学，在那里她成为物理系的第一位女讲师)”可知，吴健雄致力于物理学的研究，并取得很多开创性的成果，故她是一个具有奉献精神和有雄心的科学家，故选D项。 C Yellowstone National Park is boiling. Scientists agree the Yellowstone super volcano is unlikely to blow anytime soon. Should it erupt, it would be a disaster. The eruption would shoot out enough rock and ash to cover most of the United States. So in 2017, NASA scientists ran a thought experiment to see if they could stop a future super-eruption. The team came up with the idea of drilling a series of wells around the edge of the park and pumping cold water down into the hot rock. This would cool the boiling rock and prevent a disaster. As a bonus, the system would provide enough geothermal (地热的) energy to power the entire country. The idea, however, has reached a standstill. Yellowstone and other national parks have long been protected from commercial energy development to ensure that these regions remain untouched. Nowhere has geothermal energy had a greater effect on the environment than in New Zealand. Much like Yellowstone, the Wairakei Basin of the country was once a bubbling scene where 70 geysers periodically fired jets of water into the air. That is, until 1958, when a geothermal power plant was developed nearby. Today, Wairakei does not host a single geyser. The power plant destroyed all 70 of them, along with 240 hot springs. Should a project like this take place at the edges of Yellowstone National Park, it could easily leave the surface features untouched and still drill deep enough to generate geothermal power. Indeed, that was NASA’s supposed solution. But Richards does not like the idea. Even if a geothermal power plant did not destroy the region’s features — from geysers and hot springs to mud pots — the plant would not go unnoticed in such an untouched area. 28. Why did the NASA scientists carry out the study? A. To discover more clean and sustainable energy. B. To estimate Yellowstone super volcano’s danger. C. To seek how to prevent a future volcanic eruption. D. To drill wells to provide easier access to hot water. 29. What does the underlined phrase “reached a standstill” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Come to a temporary stop. B. Won governmental approval. C. Led to a major breakthrough. D. Aroused much public concern. 30. What happened to geysers in the Wairakei Basin since a power plant was built? A. They disappeared completely. B. They mixed with hot springs. C. They became more powerful. D. They were put into better use. 31. Why does Richards disapprove of building a power plant there? A. It could destroy the geysers in the park. B. It would conflict with NASA’s solution. C. It might result in violent volcanic emptions. D. It would hurt the original scenery of the park. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲是科学家对黄石国家公园火山是否会爆发的思维实验。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“So in 2017, NASA scientists ran a thought experiment to see if they could stop a future super-eruption.(因此，在2017年，美国宇航局的科学家们进行了一项思想实验，看看他们是否能阻止未来的超级火山喷发)”可知，科学家研究的目的是寻找如何防止未来的火山爆发的方法。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Yellowstone and other national parks have long been protected from commercial energy development to ensure that these regions remain untouched.(长期以来，黄石公园和其他国家公园一直受到保护，不受商业能源开发的影响，以确保这些地区不受影响)”可知，黄石公园和其他国家公园长期以来一直受到保护以免受到商业能源开发的影响，所以这个主意应该是受到搁置，划线短语reached a standstill 的意思是“停滞不前”，与come to a temporary stop的意思相近。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“That is, until 1958, when a geothermal power plant was developed nearby. Today, Wairakei does not host a single geyser. The power plant destroyed all 70 of them, along with 240 hot springs.(直到1958年，附近开发了一个地热发电厂。今天，怀拉基没有一个间歇泉。核电站摧毁了所有70个温泉，以及240个温泉)”可知，自从建立发电厂以来，怀拉基盆地的间歇泉完全消失了。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even if a geothermal power plant did not destroy the region’s features —from geysers and hot springs to mud pots — the plant would not go unnoticed in such an untouched area.(即使地热发电厂没有破坏该地区的特色——从间歇泉和温泉到泥坑——在这样一个未被破坏的地区，该发电厂也不会被忽视)”可推知，理查兹不赞成在那里建发电厂是因为这样会破坏公园原有的风景。故选D。 D China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa. “We're no longer suffering from hunger,” 55-vear-old Georges Ranaivomanana, a Madagasean farmer who took the lead in planting Chinese hybrid rice in his town of Mahitsy. Georges told Xinhua that he hoped that all Madagascan farmers would use the seeds to raise their living standards. China has been helping African countries develop productive rice farming for years with its hybrid rice. For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are “very grateful” to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes. In May, the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre opened a research centre in Madagascar to select hybrid rice varieties based on the island nation's diverse ecological environment, in an effort to find more productive crops for a continent long troubled by insufficient grain output. In the northwestern Nigerian state of Kebbi, Chinese expert Wang Xuemin stood in a rice field, surrounded by green rice plants, “This year, we are using a new technology,” he said, adding that it “can significantly reduce labor and other costs.” “The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,” said the 51-year-old who has been in Nigeria for 16 years. In 2006, after Wang and his colleagues had sown the seeds, their field management techniques and large-scale farming equipment could not adapt to the operating environment and hundreds of hectares of rice fields were almost completely taken over by weeds. “We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible(可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa,” he said. After more than ten years of research and innovation, the Nigerian farm now becomes a major training and mechanized production centre in the country, training more than 1,000 farmers and agricultural machinery management staff. 32. What's the attitude of African farmers about Chinese hybrid rice? A. Full of gratitude. B. A little skeptical. C. Extremely curious. D. Much disappointed. 33. What can we infer from what Wang Xuemin said? A. Chinese technology of hybrid rice can't be applied in Africa. B. Different technologies should be applied to different areas. C. Chinese experts contributes to raising African living standards. D. Chinese technology can be used all over the world. 34. How long did it take for the Nigerian farm to be a modern production centre? A. More than ten decades. B. Less than a year. C. Over a decade. D. Less than ten years. 35. What's the best title of the text? A. Africans Fight Food Shortage with Chinese B. China's Hybrid Rice Sows Hope for Africa C. Chinese Hybrid Rice Research Has Not Been Open in Africa D. The Sowing of Hybrid Rice Should Vary from Country 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍中国人把杂交水稻技术传播到非洲，为非洲人民播下了希望，帮助他们解决食物短缺的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are “very grateful” to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes.(对于像Ranaivomanana这样的非洲大陆农民来说，他们“非常感谢”中国，因为杂交水稻是改善粮食安全和提高收入的关键)”可知，非洲农民对于中国的杂交水稻持有感激的态度，gratitude和grateful近义呼应。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题，根据第四段中他说的话““This year, we are using a new technology,” he said, adding that it “can significantly reduce labor and other costs.” “The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,”(“今年，我们正在使用一种新技术”。他补充说，“它可以显著降低劳动力和其他成本，这里的土地，气候和水稻种植方法与中国非常不同。一开始我们遇到了很多问题”)及第五段““We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible(可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa,””(我们意识到，盲目照搬中国模式是不可行的。有必要不断创新我们的技术，以适应非洲的当地情况)可知，他的话表明了在不同的地区应该采取不同的技术，因地制宜。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“After more than ten years of research and innovation, the Nigerian farm now becomes a major training and mechanized production centre in the country, training more than 1,000 farmers and agricultural machinery management staff.(经过十几年的研究和创新，尼日利亚农场现在已经成为该国主要的培训和机械化生产中心，培训了1000多名农民和农业机械管理人员)”可知，尼日利亚成为现代化生产中心用了十多年时间，over a decade 与文中more than ten years 意义一致。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa.(中国相信杂交水稻品种的成功，可以应对非洲的粮食短缺)”以及接下来中国杂交水稻在非洲的使用为非洲解决粮食短缺问题，为非洲播下了希望，由此可知，B项China's Hybrid Rice Sows Hope for Africa意为“中国杂交水稻为非洲播下希望”作为标题最佳。故选B项。 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。 Matilda Browne (1869-1947) was a successful artist in the early 20th century. Unfortunately, few people know her name or her art today. Matilda Browne showed promising artistic talent early in her life. Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, she got an introduction to art by watching her neighbor, painter Thomas Moran. Her parents supported their budding young artist. ___36___And it paid off. Matilda Browne participated in her first major exhibition when she was just twelve years old. Browne loved to paint animals, especially cows and other animals. ___37___ Her bold brushwork gave her paintings a live appearance. Her style is best described as Impressionism. Matilda Browne quickly became a respected and successful artist. Her list of honours opened doors that would have been otherwise inaccessible for a female artist of her time. As an adult, she moved to Connecticut, where she painted in Old Lyme. ___38___She even had the honor of painting a door of their workshop. Some sources say that her good sense of humor helped her fit in with the boys, while others claim that her seriousness is what won them over. ___39___ Browne was a successful artist throughout her life. She won numerous awards and exhibited in many important shows. However, very few people know about her today. This is a more common story for female artists than one might think. So, why has Browne faded into being unknown? ___40___She was American, while books about American Impressionists tend to focus on the male artists. A. She was the only woman accepted into the male artists’ circle there. B. It was her artistic style that hadn’t aroused people’s interest. C. Her impressive skill brought her under everyone’s notice. D. She also painted many flowers in colorful garden landscapes. E. It could result from her double minority — in gender and nationality. F. Her mother took her to Europe for training while she was quite young. G. Either way, her great skill as a painter made these other artists take notice. 【答案】36. F 37. D 38. A 39. G 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了艺术家Matilda Browne的个人经历以及成就，和她默默无名的原因。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Matilda Browne showed promising artistic talent early in her life. Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, she got an introduction to art by watching her neighbor, painter Thomas Moran. Her parents supported their budding young artist.(玛蒂尔达·布朗早年就表现出了很有前途的艺术才华。她在新泽西州的纽瓦克长大，通过观察她的邻居，画家托马斯·莫兰，她开始接触艺术。她的父母支持他们崭露头角的年轻艺术家)”以及后文“And it paid off. Matilda Browne participated in her first major exhibition when she was just twelve years old.(这样做得到了回报。玛蒂尔达·布朗在12岁的时候参加了她的第一次大型展览)”可知，本段讲述了 Matilda Browne小时候接受的画画方面的启蒙及支持，本句旨在说明哪种行为最后取得了回报。故F选项“她很小的时候，她妈妈就带她去欧洲训练”符合语境，故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Browne loved to paint animals, especially cows and other animals.(布朗喜欢画动物，尤其是牛和其他动物)”可知，这一段介绍她的绘画风格。从D选项中的“also”可知, 这是她风格中的另一个方面。故D选项“她还画了许多在丰富多彩的花园风景中的花”符合语境，故选D。 【38题详解】 根据后文“She even had the honor of painting a door of their workshop. Some sources say that her good sense of humor helped her fit in with the boys, while others claim that her seriousness is what won them over.(她甚至有幸为他们的工作间画了一扇门。有消息称，她的幽默感帮助她与男孩们打成一片，而另一些人则声称，她的认真是赢得男孩们好感的原因)”可知，后文提到她的幽默感帮助她与男孩们打成一片，说明她被男性艺术家圈子接纳了，故A选项“她是那里男性艺术家圈子里唯一被接纳的女性”符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Some sources say that her good sense of humor helped her fit in with the boys, while others claim that her seriousness is what won them over.(有消息称，她的幽默感帮助她与男孩们打成一片，而另一些人则声称，她的认真是赢得男孩们好感的原因)”可知，人们对 Matilda Browne 被接纳进入男性艺术家圈子进行两方面原因的猜测，本句为本段最后一句，进行总结：但无论猜测如何，真正使她获得关注的是她的才华。故G选项“不管怎样，她高超的绘画技巧引起了其他艺术家的注意”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“So, why has Browne faded into being unknown?(那么，为什么布朗变得默默无闻了呢？)”以及后文“She was American, while books about American Impressionists tend to focus on the male artists.(她是美国人，而关于美国印象派的书往往集中在男性艺术家身上)”可知，此空和后一句分析 Matilda Browne从那个时代的闻名到如今的默默无闻的原因。故E选项“这可能是由于她在性别和国籍上的双重少数群体”符合语境，故选E。 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。 Rani’s mind lit up like a light bulb (灵光一现) as she turned on her shower the night her school class was tasked with finding ways to save water.

To persuade her parents, she penned an essay, demonstrating she was mature enough for a cell phone. Her parents, impressed, gave her an old phone. “Ava,” her dad said seriously, “a cell phone isn’t just for fun and games. It’s a significant responsibility. You must keep your phone secure. You must silence it in public spaces. You must...” He listed all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone. But Ava, too busy with choosing the perfect wallpaper, downloading apps, and chatting with her best friend Sarah, only half-listened. Over the weekend, Sarah’s mom took the girls to a movie. Normally Ava avoided horror films, but Sarah’s pleading words with funny memes (表情包) had somehow convinced Ava that the movie might actually be enjoyable. Before the movie started, Sarah’s mom instructed the girls to silence their phones out of respect for others. As the movie’s tension built, Ava found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable. “I need to go to the bathroom,” Ava whispered to Sarah. After the movie, while waiting for Sarah’s mom to fetch the car, Ava felt a sinking feeling. “I can’t find my phone!” she shrieked, patting down all of her pockets. Panic-stricken, Ava searched her bag, yet her phone seemed to have vanished. Ava got into the car, her stomach in knots. “Are you going to tell your parents?” Sarah whispered to Ava on their ride back. Ava was silent, her mind racing with the consequences. She could envision her parents’ disappointed faces and harsh words. She feared that this incident might lead to her parents taking away the privilege of having a phone altogether. As they arrived, Ava climbed out of the car and trudged home, her heart heavy with what had happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then her parents drove Ava back to the cinema. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. She knew she had to tell them about the lost phone, but words stuck in her throat. Recalling the trust they had put in her with the phone, Ava felt a pang of distress as she prepared to confess. “I…I’ve lost my phone.” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Her father’s brow furrowed. “Did it perhaps fall from your pocket during the movie? Or could it have…?” Her mother inquired anxiously. When Ava admitted that, in her panic, she had forgotten to go back and search properly or ask for help, her parents exchanged a silent glance. “Accidents happen.” Her father assured her. “We’ll figure this out together.” Then her parents drove her back to the cinema. They went to the reception desk and asked the cinema staff for help. It turned out that someone had turned the phone in to the front desk. They took the phone back. With a voice choked by emotion, Ava apologized to her father, “I know I messed up, Dad.” Placing a hand on her shoulder, her father told Ava that maturity wasn’t just about having a phone or not, but about how she handled situations, especially when they went wrong. “It comes along with a sense of responsibility. Remember to be responsible for your phone!” Her mother added, putting the phone back into Ava’s hand. As she held the device, she felt the familiar weight, a weight more significant than before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了五年级学生Ava渴望拥有一部手机，并在十三岁时终于得到了父母的许可。然而，她在初次使用手机时并未充分听取父亲的告诫，导致在一次外出看电影时遗失了手机。Ava非常害怕父母会因此对她失望并收回使用手机的特权，因此她在回家的路上心情沉重。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ava走进来的那一刻，她的父母微笑着迎接她。”可知，第一段可描写Ava回家后向父母坦白手机丢失的情景以及父母的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后她的父母开车送Ava回电影院。”可知，第二段可描写Ava的父母得知她丢失手机后，主动开车带她回到电影院寻找手机，并最终成功找回手机的经过。 2.续写线索：Ava告诉父母自己丢了手机——父母询问——Ava承认没有回去找——父母安慰——父母帮忙找回手机——父母讲道理——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：tell/inform ②承认：admit/acknowledge ③拿回：take...back/get...back 情绪类 ①痛苦：distress/pain ②焦急地：anxiously/fretfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] Recalling the trust they had put in her with the phone, Ava felt a pang of distress as she prepared to confess.(由现在分词作状语，that/which引导的限制性定语从句，省略了that/which和as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Placing a hand on her shoulder, her father told Ava that maturity wasn’t just about having a phone or not, but about how she handled situations, especially when they went wrong.

Below we explore four deepest places on Earth. Veryovkina Cave, Georgia Its entrance is located 2,285 meters above sea level. In 2018, scientists reached its bottom at 2,212 meters down. They squeezed through tiny openings to get from one cave to another. Rockfalls and floods waited secretly at every turn. Scientists could develop new medicines from microorganisms found in cave samples. Caves also record ancient life and past climates. The Mariana Trench, the Pacific Ocean The Mariana Trench, with the maximum depth of 11,034 meters, is the deepest part of Earth’s surface. Pressure there is intolerable, but creatures like sea cucumbers (海参) still exist. Scientists exploring it can gain deeper insights into how plates move and why earthquakes and volcanoes occur. The Dead Sea, the Middle East The Dead Sea is the lowest point on land at about 1,400 feet (about 400 meters) below sea level. It’s nearly ten times saltier than ocean water, so you literally can’t sink in the Dead Sea! Scientists think it could go dry in a few decades. Despite its name, the Dead Sea holds life. A few kinds of algae (藻类) and bacteria love its salty water. Lake Baikal, Russia At the depth of 1,642 meters, Lake Baikal is the deepest inland body of water. The Baikal seal is the only known seal that lives in this world’s deepest freshwater lake. Scientists study the lake not only for the solid stuff beneath it that records climate history but because it’s in a zone where a plate is splitting apart, causing earthquakes. 21 What do we know about Veryovkina Cave? A. It was discovered in 2018. B. Its pressure is far from bearable. C. It is risky to explore. D. Its samples are of little practical value. 22. Where should scientists go to better know earth movement? A. Georgia & Russia. B. Russia & the Pacific Ocean. C. Georgia & the Pacific Ocean. D. The Middle East & Russia. 23. What do the four places have in common? A. They have some sign of life. B. They are over a thousand meters deep. C. They are results of climate change. D. They are all below sea level. B In 1957 a group of physicists gathered in a lecture hall to be addressed by a Chinese American woman. As she told her recent experiment and its results, the response was dead silence for two minutes, then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes. The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu, known as the First Lady of Physics, who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments. Born in 1912, Wu was unlike many Chinese women of her time, and received a formal education. Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists, she entered the university to study physics and began scientific studies. It was a time of rapid change in both the field of physics and China. Domestic unrest and a bad relationship with Japan made life at home uneasy. With the help of an uncle, she immigrated to the United States for graduate school. Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan, but a tour of the University of California, Berkeley — and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door — changed her mind. At Berkeley Wu was visible for her gender and race, her male colleagues commenting as much on her appearance as her keen mind. She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission (核裂变). After graduation, she headed to Smith College to teach women physics. During World War Two Wu went to Princeton University, where she became the physics departments first female instructor. But shortly after her arrival, her career took an unexpected turn in 1944. She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project. 24. Which word best describes the lecture in Paragraph 1? A. Boring. B. Humorous. C. Excellent. D. Common. 25. What inspired Wu to study physics? A. The formal education she received. B. The success of women scientists. C. The background of her family. D. The rapid change in the field of physics. 26. What happened to Wu in America? A. She was looked down on at Berkeley. B. She went to the University of Michigan at first. C. She taught women physics at Princeton University. D. She joined a top-secret research program at Columbia University. 27. Which of the following best describes Wu as a scientist? A.

Scientists agree the Yellowstone super volcano is unlikely to blow anytime soon. Should it erupt it would be a disaster. The eruption would shoot out enough rock and ash to cover most of the United States. So in 2017, NASA scientists ran a thought experiment to see if they could stop a future super-eruption. The team came up with the idea of drilling a series of wells around the edge of the park and pumping cold water down into the hot rock. This would cool the boiling rock and prevent a disaster. As a bonus, the system would provide enough geothermal (地热的) energy to power the entire country. The idea, however, has reached a standstill. Yellowstone and other national parks have long been protected from commercial energy development to ensure that these regions remain untouched. Nowhere has geothermal energy had a greater effect on the environment than in New Zealand. Much like Yellowstone, the Wairakei Basin of the country was once a bubbling scene where 70 geysers periodically fired jets of water into the air. That is, until 1958, when a geothermal power plant was developed nearby. Today, Wairakei does not host a single geyser. The power plant destroyed all 70 of them, along with 240 hot springs. Should a project like this take place at the edges of Yellowstone National Park, it could easily leave the surface features untouched and still drill deep enough to generate geothermal power. Indeed, that was NASA’s supposed solution. But Richards does not like the idea. Even if a geothermal power plant did not destroy the region’s features — from geysers and hot springs to mud pots — the plant would not go unnoticed in such an untouched area. 28. Why did the NASA scientists carry out the study? A. To discover more clean and sustainable energy. B. To estimate Yellowstone super volcano’s danger. C. To seek how to prevent a future volcanic eruption. D. To drill wells to provide easier access to hot water. 29. What does the underlined phrase “reached a standstill” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Come to a temporary stop. B. Won governmental approval. C. Led to a major breakthrough. D. Aroused much public concern. 30. What happened to geysers in the Wairakei Basin since a power plant was built? A. They disappeared completely. B. They mixed with hot springs. C. They became more powerful. D. They were put into better use. 31. Why does Richards disapprove of building a power plant there? A. It could destroy the geysers in the park. B. It would conflict with NASA’s solution. C. It might result in violent volcanic emptions. D. It would hurt the original scenery of the park. D China is betting on its successful hybrid rice varieties to fight food shortage in Africa. “We're no longer suffering from hunger,” 55-vear-old Georges Ranaivomanana, a Madagasean farmer who took the lead in planting Chinese hybrid rice in his town of Mahitsy. Georges told Xinhua that he hoped that all Madagascan farmers would use the seeds to raise their living standards. China has been helping African countries develop productive rice farming for years with its hybrid rice. For farmers on the continent like Ranaivomanana, they are “very grateful” to the Chinese as the hybrid rice is the key to better food security and higher incomes. In May, the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Centre opened a research centre in Madagascar to select hybrid rice varieties based on the island nation's diverse ecological environment, in an effort to find more productive crops for a continent long troubled by insufficient grain output. In the northwestern Nigerian state of Kebbi, Chinese expert Wang Xuemin stood in a rice field, surrounded by green rice plants, “This year, we are using a new technology,” he said, adding that it “can significantly reduce labor and other costs.” “The land, climate and rice farming methods in Nigeria are very different from those in China. We had a lot of problems at the beginning,” said the 51-year-old who has been in Nigeria for 16 years. In 2006, after Wang and his colleagues had sown the seeds, their field management techniques and large-scale farming equipment could not adapt to the operating environment and hundreds of hectares of rice fields were almost completely taken over by weeds. “We came to realize that blindly copying the Chinese model is not feasible(可行的). It is necessary to constantly innovate our techniques to fit the local situation in Africa,” he said. After more than ten years of research and innovation, the Nigerian farm now becomes a major training and mechanized production centre in the country, training more than 1,000 farmers and agricultural machinery management staff. 32. What's the attitude of African farmers about Chinese hybrid rice? A. Full of gratitude. B. A little skeptical. C. Extremely curious. D. Much disappointed. 33. What can we infer from what Wang Xuemin said? A. Chinese technology of hybrid rice can't be applied in Africa. B. Different technologies should be applied to different areas. C. Chinese experts contributes to raising African living standards. D. Chinese technology can be used all over the world. 34. How long did it take for the Nigerian farm to be a modern production centre? A. More than ten decades. B. Less than a year. C. Over a decade. D. Less than ten years. 35. What's the best title of the text? A. Africans Fight Food Shortage with Chinese B. China's Hybrid Rice Sows Hope for Africa C. Chinese Hybrid Rice Research Has Not Been Open in Africa D. The Sowing of Hybrid Rice Should Vary from Country 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。 Matilda Browne (1869-1947) was a successful artist in the early 20th century.

To persuade her parents, she penned an essay, demonstrating she was mature enough for a cell phone. Her parents, impressed, gave her an old phone. “Ava,” her dad said seriously, “a cell phone isn’t just for fun and games. It’s a significant responsibility. You must keep your phone secure. You must silence it in public spaces. You must...” He listed all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone. But Ava, too busy with choosing the perfect wallpaper, downloading apps, and chatting with her best friend Sarah, only half-listened. Over the weekend, Sarah’s mom took the girls to a movie. Normally Ava avoided horror films, but Sarah’s pleading words with funny memes (表情包) had somehow convinced Ava that the movie might actually be enjoyable. Before the movie started, Sarah’s mom instructed the girls to silence their phones out of respect for others. As the movie’s tension built, Ava found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable. “I need to go to the bathroom,” Ava whispered to Sarah. After the movie, while waiting for Sarah’s mom to fetch the car, Ava felt a sinking feeling. “I can’t find my phone!” she shrieked, patting down all of her pockets. Panic-stricken, Ava searched her bag, yet her phone seemed to have vanished. Ava got into the car, her stomach in knots. “Are you going to tell your parents?” Sarah whispered to Ava on their ride back. Ava was silent, her mind racing with the consequences. She could envision her parents’ disappointed faces and harsh words. She feared that this incident might lead to her parents taking away the privilege of having a phone altogether. As they arrived, Ava climbed out of the car and trudged home, her heart heavy with what had happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The moment Ava walked in, her parents greeted her with a smile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then her parents drove Ava back to the cinema. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
