It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.

Many people who want to lose weight often choose to go on a diet. But is this really the best way? With celebrities speaking about new diets that have helped them become slim in advertisements, more and more people are turning to dieting. Some shops begin to sell diet products such as diet milkshakes, snack bars and even diet pills. However, such popular products and diets are often found to be extremely unhealthy.
Most of these popular diets work by cutting down on a certain nutrient from your food intake. For example, some diets work by cutting down on carbohydrates (碳水化合物). This means the body must use its fat reserves for energy. This might help you lose weight. However, by cutting a particular food group out of your diet, you are starving your body of a nutrient that it needs, which could leave you feeling weak, tired or even bad-tempered. Besides, these diets are often unsuccessful in the long run.
Generally, one of the most effective ways of losing weight is to cut down on calories. The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2,500. If a man consumes more than 2,500 calories each day, then he is likely to gain weight. However, if he consumes less, then he is likely to lose weight.
In fact, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals all play an important role in staying healthy, which is why they all should be included in your meals. Of course, some foods can be eaten in moderation as an occasional snack. For example, a bar of chocolate every once in a while won’t cause you any problems.
So, instead of spending money on popular diet pills or special weight loss foods, try to eat healthy balanced meals containing foods from all food groups. So, next time your friends tell you that they are going on a diet, tell them that eating a healthy balanced diet is a much better choice.
48. What is the author’s opinion about the popular diets mentioned in the passage?
A. They are useful for losing weight.
B. They are welcomed by celebrities.
C. They are not as healthy as people think.
D. They are replacing people’s everyday meals.
49. The underline phrase is closest in meaning to .
A. regularly B. reasonably C. immediately D. frequently
50. How can we lose weight effectively according to the author?
A. By having diet pills. B. By following a strict diet.
C. By taking regular exercise. D. By reducing calorie intake.
51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Diet products should be limited.
B. Snacking is a big no-no for health.
C. Keeping a diet with various nutrients is ideal.
D. Going on a diet should be stopped immediately.
Section C (8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
We can all have a bad night of sleep and that’s perfectly normal, but how could we try to improve both the quantity and the quality of our sleep? Here are four tips for better sleep.
Let’s start with regularity. ____52____ Regularity is king, and it will actually help your sleep, no matter whether it’s the weekday or the weekend or even if you’ve had a bad night of sleep. Many of us use an alarm to wake up but very few of us use a to-bed alarm, and that’s something that can be helpful.
____53____ It turns out that your brain and your body need to drop their temperature by about 1℃ in order to begin sleep and then to stay asleep. And this is the reason that you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot.
The third tip is darkness. We need darkness specifically in the evening to produce a hormone called melatonin (褪黑素). ____54____ Turn off the lights in your room. You’d actually be quite surprised at how sleepy that can make you feel.
The final tip is to walk it out. Don’t stay in bed awake for long periods of time. And the general rule is that if you’ve woken up and you can’t get back to sleep after 25 minutes, the recommendation is to get out of bed. And you can go and do something else. ____55____ In that way, gradually, your brain will relearn the relation that your bed is this place of sound and continuous sleep.
A. Next, keep the room cool.
B. Only return to bed when you’re sleepy.
C. Visit your doctor if you have a sleep problem.
D. It doesn’t matter whether you get up or fall asleep again.
E. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time.
F. In the last hour before bed, try to stay away from all of those computer screens and phones.
V. Translation (3’+3’+4’)
56. 重要的是我们应该选择环保的生活方式来减少碳足迹。(matter)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________
57. 毫无疑问丝绸之路对文化交流有着积极的影响。(impact)(汉译英)

58. 尽管人们热衷于不同的活动,他们有一个相似之处:他们试图在每日常规中找到意义。(routine) (汉译英)

Section B (22’)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
It has been four years since Grandma Joy told her grandson that she had never seen the most beautiful views of America. Since then, they have gone on many cross-country trips.
Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.
As he was telling his grandma stories of his travels, however, he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains. Ryan then asked his grandmother if she would like to go hiking with him. Needless to say, she was more than happy to agree.
They have since visited 29 different national parks across America---from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado to the Acadia National Park in Maine. Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.”
“I love my grandma so much, and it’s just really giving me a lot of peace when she passed away. I can go back to these places, feel her spirit, and feel connected to her,” he added.
Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.
41. Why did Brad Ryan visit his grandma in 2015?
A. To cheer himself up.
B. To please his grandma.
C. To take his grandma to travel.
D. To share his travelling experiences.
42. How did Brad Ryan feel when he heard his grandma had never seen the ocean or mountains?
A. Shocked. B. Sad.
C. Doubtful. D. Excited
43. What influence did Brad Ryan’s grandma have on him?
A. She made him live a better life.
B. She helped him find his life goal.
C. She told him to have peace of mind.
D. She gave him a lot of encouragement.
44. What is Brad Ryan’s purpose of posting their trips online?
A. To advise young people to take a trip.
B. To share his joy of travelling with his grandma.
C. To encourage the young to keep their elders company.
D. To show young people what they can learn from their elders.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. A 44. C

【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Brad Ryan had been feeling tired of studying in a vet school when he visited his 85-year-old grandma in 2015. He hoped that spending some quality family time would help lift his spirits.”可知,布拉德·瑞安(Brad Ryan) 2015年去看望85岁的奶奶时,已经厌倦了兽医学校的学习。他希望一些高质量的家庭时间将有助于提高他的精神。由此可知,他去看望奶奶是希望提升他的精神。A(使自己振作起来)表达此意。故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“he was heartbroken to hear that she had never seen the ocean or mountains”可知,当听到奶奶再也看不见大海和山脉的时候,他心碎了。由此可知,他很“伤心”。故选B。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Over the four years, Ryan and his grandma have driven 25,000 miles through 38 states. And it has greatly affected his quality of life. “Seeing it through my grandmother’s eyes, who every morning wakes up and is thankful to be alive has taught me how to live,” Ryan said. “With her, I’ve had to slow down and see life in a different way, which has made it a lot richer.””可知,Ryan认为,祖母每天早上醒来都为能活着而心存感激,这教会了他如何生活。和祖母在一起,Ryan不得不放慢脚步,用不同的方式看待生活,这让生活丰富了很多。由此推知,祖母使得Ryan过一种更好的生活。故选A。

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ryan posted all of their trips on Facebook. He hopes more young people will spare time to be with their elders. “I want young people to know that hanging out with your grandparents is cool. And there’s so much we can learn from our elders,” Ryan said.

Many people who want to lose weight often choose to go on a diet. But is this really the best way? With celebrities speaking about new diets that have helped them become slim in advertisements, more and more people are turning to dieting. Some shops begin to sell diet products such as diet milkshakes, snack bars and even diet pills. However, such popular products and diets are often found to be extremely unhealthy.
Most of these popular diets work by cutting down on a certain nutrient from your food intake. For example, some diets work by cutting down on carbohydrates (碳水化合物). This means the body must use its fat reserves for energy. This might help you lose weight. However, by cutting a particular food group out of your diet, you are starving your body of a nutrient that it needs, which could leave you feeling weak, tired or even bad-tempered. Besides, these diets are often unsuccessful in the long run.
Generally, one of the most effective ways of losing weight is to cut down on calories. The recommended calorie intake for an adult male is 2,500. If a man consumes more than 2,500 calories each day, then he is likely to gain weight. However, if he consumes less, then he is likely to lose weight.
In fact, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals all play an important role in staying healthy, which is why they all should be included in your meals. Of course, some foods can be eaten in moderation as an occasional snack. For example, a bar of chocolate every once in a while won’t cause you any problems.
So, instead of spending money on popular diet pills or special weight loss foods, try to eat healthy balanced meals containing foods from all food groups. So, next time your friends tell you that they are going on a diet, tell them that eating a healthy balanced diet is a much better choice.
48. What is the author’s opinion about the popular diets mentioned in the passage?
A. They are useful for losing weight.
B. They are welcomed by celebrities.
C. They are not as healthy as people think.
D. They are replacing people’s everyday meals.
49. The underline phrase is closest in meaning to .
A. regularly B. reasonably C. immediately D. frequently
50. How can we lose weight effectively according to the author?
A. By having diet pills. B. By following a strict diet.
C. By taking regular exercise. D. By reducing calorie intake.
51. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Diet products should be limited.
B. Snacking is a big no-no for health.
C. Keeping a diet with various nutrients is ideal.
D. Going on a diet should be stopped immediately.
【答案】48. C 49. B 50. D 51. C
【解析】

Section C (8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
We can all have a bad night of sleep and that’s perfectly normal, but how could we try to improve both the quantity and the quality of our sleep? Here are four tips for better sleep.
Let’s start with regularity. ____52____ Regularity is king, and it will actually help your sleep, no matter whether it’s the weekday or the weekend or even if you’ve had a bad night of sleep. Many of us use an alarm to wake up but very few of us use a to-bed alarm, and that’s something that can be helpful.
____53____ It turns out that your brain and your body need to drop their temperature by about 1℃ in order to begin sleep and then to stay asleep And this is the reason that you will always find it easier to fall asleep in a room that’s too cold than too hot.
The third tip is darkness. We need darkness specifically in the evening to produce a hormone called melatonin (褪黑素). ____54____ Turn off the lights in your room. You’d actually be quite surprised at how sleepy that can make you feel.
The final tip is to walk it out. Don’t stay in bed awake for long periods of time. And the general rule is that if you’ve woken up and you can’t get back to sleep after 25 minutes, the recommendation is to get out of bed. And you can go and do something else. ____55____ In that way, gradually, your brain will relearn the relation that your bed is this place of sound and continuous sleep.
A. Next, keep the room cool.
B. Only return to bed when you’re sleepy.
C. Visit your doctor if you have a sleep problem.
D. It doesn’t matter whether you get up or fall asleep again.
E. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time.
F. In the last hour before bed, try to stay away from all of those computer screens and phones.

56. 重要的是我们应该选择环保的生活方式来减少碳足迹。(matter)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】What matters is that we should choose an environmentally friendly lifestyle to reduce our carbon footprint.
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。“重要”表达为matter;“选择”表达为choose;“环保的生活方式”表达为an environmentally friendly lifestyle;“减少”表达为reduce;“碳足迹”表达为 our carbon footprint。根据句意可知,句子陈述事实,用一般现在时,构成主系表结构;“重要的是”可用what引导主语从句,表达为what matters;be动词使用is;“我们应该选择环保的生活方式来减少碳足迹”可用that引导表语从句,从句中,“选择环保的生活方式”表达为we should choose an environmentally friendly lifestyle;“选择环保的生活方式是为了减少碳足迹”,故应用不定式to reduce our carbon footprint作目的状语。故翻译为:What matters is that we should choose an environmentally friendly lifestyle to reduce our carbon footprint.
57. 毫无疑问丝绸之路对文化交流有着积极的影响。(impact)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】There is no doubt that the Silk Road has a positive impact on cultural exchange.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、名词短语和时态。使用固定句型There is no doubt that…表示“毫无疑问……”。the Silk Road表示“丝绸之路”,have a positive impact on…表示“对……有积极影响”,cultural exchange表示“文化交流”作宾语。句子描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时。故翻译为:There is no doubt that the Silk Road has a positive impact on cultural exchange.
58. 尽管人们热衷于不同的活动,他们有一个相似之处:他们试图在每日常规中找到意义。(routine) (汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Although people are passionate about different activities, they have one thing in common: they try to find meaning in their daily routines.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、让步状语从句和固定搭配。该句子可以翻译为一个主从复合句。“尽管人们热衷于不同的活动”用让步状语从句表示,“尽管”翻译为although;“人们”翻译为people,“热衷于”翻译为be passionate about,主语是复数形式,be动词用are;“不同的活动”翻译为different activities。“他们有一个相似之处”翻译为they have one thing in common。“他们”是they;“试图做某事”翻译为try to do;“找到”用find表示;“意义”是meaning;“在每日常规中”翻译为in their daily routines。故整句翻译为Although people are passionate about different activities, they have one thing in common: they try to find meaning in their daily routines.
