In the San Diego Zoo, there lived Lucas, a four- year- old African penguin (企鹅). Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death.
For Lucas, life had been a series of treatments and disappointments (失望). The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.”
Then, there was a hope. The zoo’s team got the help of Thera-Paw, a company that designs products to help animals move better.
“The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera- Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese.
Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.”
With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced. The rocky place that was hard to move around before was now fun to explore for Lucas.
4. How did the disease affect Lucas?
A. He couldn’t stand upright. B. He was unable to lie down.
C. His eyesight became poor. D. His sense of smell dropped.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Examples of animal diseases. B. Steps of treating Lucas’ disease.
C. The importance of the zoo’s team. D. The difficulty with Lucas’ treatment.
6. What helped Lucas get a new life?
A. An operation. B. Some medicine.
C. A pair of shoes. D. The penguin group.
7. What did Debbie Denton think of Lucas’ shoes?
A. Useful. B. Expensive. C. Strange. D. Uncomfortable.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】

I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.”(对卢卡斯来说,生活是一系列的治疗和失望。动物园的团队已经尝试了所有方法,但似乎对他的疾病都没有效果。动物园团队成员贝丝·比克尼斯博士说:“我照顾卢卡斯很多年了。当卢卡斯出现疼痛时,我很难过。”)”可知,动物园的团队已经尝试了所有方法,但似乎对卢卡斯的疾病都没有效果,本段主要介绍了治疗卢卡斯所患疾病的困难性。故选D项。

细节理解题。根据第四段““The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera- Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese.(贝丝·比克尼斯博士说:“Thera-Paw的矫形鞋帮助卢卡斯完全融入这个群体,并表现出企鹅更典型的行为,比如爬石、游泳、筑巢和寻找合适的伴侣。”)”以及第五段“Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said.(当卢卡斯第一次穿上鞋子时,团队中的高级野生动物护理专家Debbie Denton也在场。她说:“我们惊喜地看到他立即发生了变化。”)”可知,是矫形鞋帮助卢卡斯重获新生。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.”(当卢卡斯第一次穿上鞋子时,团队中的高级野生动物护理专家Debbie Denton也在场。她说:“我们惊喜地看到他立即发生了变化。看到他现在四处走动,让我们希望他未来可能会没事,能够过上充实的生活。”)”可知,Debbie Denton对于看到卢卡斯的变化感到惊喜,由此可推知,她认为给予卢卡斯帮助的矫形鞋是有用的。故选A项。

The Chinese dragon, also known as the “loong”, standing for strength, fearlessness and kindness, is a cultural symbol for good business, rich harvests and good health. Unlike the European dragons, the Chinese dragons don’t give out fire. Instead, they are often connected with water. The Year of the Dragon brought extra joy to the worldwide Spring Festival celebrations from Zurich to Addis Ababa, firing interest in Chinese customs and history.
In Zurich, Switzerland, Michael Hitz, a local people, tasted 40 types of Chinese dishes at a festival organized by Chinese Traditional Culture Association of Zurich for the Year of Dragon, offering a rich food cultural experience to the community.
Similarly, in Harare, Zimbabwe, the China- Zimbabwe Friendship High School hosted lively local dances and drum performances to welcome the Year of the Dragon. At the same time, the students enjoyed Chinese martial arts inspired by a performance from the Henan Provincial Shaolin Wushu Training Center. Brenda Moyo, a local student, found the martial arts challenging yet wonderful.
An acrobatics (杂技) performance in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, enjoyed by Temesgen Yitayew, a student learning Chinese, showed how the friendship between China and Ethiopia was growing stronger. Yitayew thought more events like this should be held to support cultural exchange, carrying the flags of both nations as a symbol of unity.
8. How many foreign countries celebrating the Year of the Dragon are mentioned?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
9. What did Hitz do at the festival for the Year of the Dragon in Zurich?

If you happen to be in Hollywood and see a car go by with no driver at the wheel, don’t be afraid. After more than a year of testing, around 50 driverless robot axis are debuting (亮相) to the public across Los Angeles on Thursday.
The autonomous vehicles (自动驾驶车辆) are run by Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. Waymo started giving driverless rides to passengers in San Francisco last year and also operates them in Phoenix.
At first, the rides will be free and open to people who’ve signed up on Waymo’s waitlist, which the company says has 50,000 people. In the coming weeks, Waymo will change to a paid service. The company’s service covers 63 square miles in Los Angeles, from Santa Monica to downtown.
In the beginning self-driving cars in San Francisco got into trouble with mistakes and controversy. Both Waymo and its competitor Cruse, which is owned by GM, were complained about running red lights, and blocking public buses.
Cruise was involved in (涉及) an accident that left a walker seriously injured in October — causing the company to lose its operating right in San Francisco.
Unions and labor leaders say they’ re concerned that the robotaxis will take away jobs and also be a danger to workers who drive emergency vehicles.
“Autonomous vehicles like the ones that Waymo wants to introduce to our communities have been causing troubles wherever they go,” said Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. “It’s clear that this technology has not been well prepared for its use on our roads and in our cities.”
Despite those disagreements, autonomous driving is now a real-world way of getting around for tens of thousands of people each week. Waymo is setting its sights on its next robotaxi debut later this year.
12. What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Trust. B. Cost. C. Appearance. D. Disagreement.
13. Why did Cruise stop operating self-driving cars in San Francisco?
A. It caused a serious accident. B. It was short of money.
C. Its leader changed his mind. D. It took away workers’ jobs.
14. What is Yvonne Wheeler’s attitude towards self-driving cars?
A. Admiring. B. Uncaring. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear.
15. In which part of a website can we find this text?
A. History. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Education.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一说明文。文章主要介绍了无人驾驶车在美国的运营状况。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“In the beginning, self-driving cars in San Francisco got into trouble with mistakes and controversy. Both Waymo and its competitor Cruse, which is owned by GM, were complained about running red lights, and blocking public buses. (起初,旧金山的自动驾驶汽车因错误和……而陷入困境。Waymo及其竞争对手——通用汽车旗下的 Cruise——都被抱怨闯红灯和阻挡公共巴士。)”可知,自动驾驶汽车出现了诸如闯红灯、阻挡公交车等问题,这些问题会引发人们的不满和争论,所以controversy意思最接近disagreement。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Cruise was involved in(涉及)an accident that left a walker seriously injured in October— causing the company to lose its operating right in San Francisco. (Cruise在10月卷入了一起事故,导致一名行人严重受伤——这使得该公司失去了在旧金山的运营权。)”可知,Cruise公司因为在十月份发生了一起导致行人重伤的事故,所以失去了在旧金山的运营权,即停止在旧金山运营自动驾驶汽车。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ ‘Autonomous vehicles like the ones that Waymo wants to introduce to our communities have been causing troubles wherever they go,’ said Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. ‘It’s clear that this technology has not been well prepared for its use on our roads and in our cities.’ (“像Waymo想要引入我们社区的那种自动驾驶汽车无论走到哪里都在制造麻烦,”洛杉矶县劳工联合会主席伊冯娜·惠勒说。“很明显,这项技术还没有为在我们的道路和城市中使用做好充分准备。”)”可知,Yvonne Wheeler认为自动驾驶汽车无论到哪里都在制造麻烦,而且这项技术还没有为在道路和城市中的使用做好充分准备,由此可推断出她对自动驾驶汽车是不支持的态度。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Waymo公司的自动驾驶车辆在洛杉矶亮相以及相关的情况,包括其运营模式、之前在旧金山出现的问题、人们对此的看法等,内容围绕自动驾驶这一科技领域展开,所以最有可能在网站的Technology部分找到这篇文章。故选B项。

Going too far off the topic. Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. ____19____
Getting into arguments (争吵). ____20____. Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once.

【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了家庭会议需规避的错误做法。
【16题详解】
由上文“Giving up too soon. (放弃得太早)”可知,本空要说跟“不要放弃”有关的话题,由下文“It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family. (每个人可能都需要一段时间才能逐渐适应家庭会议。但是如果你定期举行并努力改进,你的家庭会议就能对家里的每个人都有帮助)”可知,即使第一次家庭会议不成功,也不要放弃,故C选项“If your first meeting doesn’t go well, don’t give up (如果你的第一次会议进行得不顺利,不要放弃)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
【17题详解】
由下文“Don’t use your meetings to single out one person for creating a problem and don’t lecture (说教) the kids about the way they act. (不要用会议来单独指出某一个人制造了问题,也不要就孩子们的行为方式对他们进行说教)”可知,本空要说跟“不要说教”有关的话题,A选项“Turning a meeting into a lecture (把会议变成说教)”能引出下文,符合题意。故选A。
【18题详解】
由上文“While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. (虽然你想征求孩子们的意见,但要明确他们在家庭重要事务上,比如是否搬家,没有平等发言权)”和下文“Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters. (那么他们就会知道你很想听听他们对这些事情的想法)”可知,虽然孩子们在家庭重要事务上没有平等发言权,大人们还是要倾听孩子们的意见,本空应对此进行解释。F选项“Even so, let them know the adults are open to their opinions (即便如此,也要让他们知道大人们是愿意倾听他们的意见的)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选F。
【19题详解】
由上文“Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. (你的孩子们可能会开始偏离主题,如果你不把谈话带回当前的任务,你可能会觉得这次会议毫无意义)”可知,孩子们可能会偏离主题,故本空要说跟“把谈话带回当前的任务”有关的话题,E选项“In this case, step in and tell them to get to the main topic (在这种情况下,介入并告诉他们回到主题)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。
【20题详解】
由上文“Getting into arguments (争吵)”可知,本空要说跟“争吵”有关的话题,由下文“Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once. (家庭会议是介绍社会上处理分歧的恰当方式的好时机。如果孩子们吵吵嚷嚷,或者有人越界了,马上制止他们。)”可知,有时候家庭会议最终会变成争吵,故G选项“At times, a family meeting ends up with an endless argument (有时,家庭会议最终会以无休止的争吵告终)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。

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。
I was walking to our local pharmacy (药房) when I suddenly remembered I needed to buy a special type of cat food from the vet (兽医) for my daughter’s cat. She couldn’t afford to pay for the expensive food so I had to pay for it. To be honest, paying $300 a month for the cat food made me feel stressed.
When I entered the vet hospital, the vet helper was helping another customer. She knew what kind of cat food I needed to buy and asked if I wanted a partial case (半箱) or a full case. Thinking I was always busy, I decided to buy a full one.
Just then another new customer hurried in and rushed to the front of the vet helper. The vet helper asked him to wait after me. Since I wasn’t in a hurry, I told the helper to serve the gentleman first. I could go to the pharmacy and give them time to do the paperwork while I was gone.
The helper said, “Thanks, that would be great!”
The gentleman said sorry for his cutting in the line just now because of something important to do, and said, “You should go first— you were here before me.”
“No worries, you go right ahead. My pleasure,” I said.
He jokingly replied, “Wow, how can I thank you?”
Not really thinking, I blurted out (脱口而出), “You could buy me a bag of cat food. Haha.” I laughed and left.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
I went back to the vet’s after about ten minutes. I walked up to the vet helper, and she was waiting with a huge grin. “You don’t have to pay! That gentleman bought all your cat food for you!” “What the? !” I was so surprised. “Did he know how much it cost before he decided to buy it?” “Yes! He asked first. I thanked him many times for you! I also asked him why he bought the food for you. He said your kindness just now helped him a lot and you asked him to do so, too. He wanted to pass on your kindness.”
Holding the cat food paid by the gentleman, I felt good inside. The gentleman’s action not only made it easier for me to pay for the cat food but also made me believe in the kindness of people. On my way home, I couldn’t stop smiling, thinking about how being polite had led to such a nice surprise. I decided that I would keep looking for opportunities to help others, no matter how small, to keep the cycle of kindness going.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者去兽医处为女儿的猫购买昂贵猫粮的经历。在这个过程中,作者遇到一位匆忙插队的新顾客,尽管兽医助手让他在作者之后等候,但作者因不着急主动让其先接受服务,之后两人互相礼让,作者还开玩笑地回应对方询问如何感谢自己的话语,体现了人与人之间在日常小事中的相互体谅、礼让与友善的相处氛围。

②由第二段首句内容“拿着那位先生付的猫粮,我心里感觉不错。”可知,第二段可描写作者相信人们的善良,回家的路上作者笑了,决定寻找机会帮助他人,想保持善意的循环。

In the San Diego Zoo, there lived Lucas, a four- year- old African penguin (企鹅). Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death.
For Lucas, life had been a series of treatments and disappointments (失望). The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.”
Then, there was a hope. The zoo’s team got the help of Thera-Paw, a company that designs products to help animals move better.
“The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera- Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese.
Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.”
With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced. The rocky place that was hard to move around before was now fun to explore for Lucas.
4. How did the disease affect Lucas?
A. He couldn’t stand upright. B. He was unable to lie down.
C. His eyesight became poor. D. His sense of smell dropped.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Examples of animal diseases. B. Steps of treating Lucas’ disease.
C. The importance of the zoo’s team. D. The difficulty with Lucas’ treatment.
6. What helped Lucas get a new life?
A. An operation. B. Some medicine.
C. A pair of shoes. D. The penguin group.
7. What did Debbie Denton think of Lucas’ shoes?
A. Useful. B. Expensive. C. Strange. D. Uncomfortable.
C
The Chinese dragon, also known as the “loong”, standing for strength, fearlessness and kindness, is a cultural symbol for good business, rich harvests and good health. Unlike the European dragons, the Chinese dragons don’t give out fire. Instead, they are often connected with water. The Year of the Dragon brought extra joy to the worldwide Spring Festival celebrations from Zurich to Addis Ababa, firing interest in Chinese customs and history.
In Zurich, Switzerland, Michael Hitz, a local people, tasted 40 types of Chinese dishes at a festival organized by Chinese Traditional Culture Association of Zurich for the Year of Dragon, offering a rich food cultural experience to the community.
Similarly, in Harare, Zimbabwe, the China- Zimbabwe Friendship High School hosted lively local dances and drum performances to welcome the Year of the Dragon. At the same time, the students enjoyed Chinese martial arts inspired by a performance from the Henan Provincial Shaolin Wushu Training Center. Brenda Moyo, a local student, found the martial arts challenging yet wonderful.
An acrobatics (杂技) performance in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, enjoyed by Temesgen Yitayew, a student learning Chinese, showed how the friendship between China and Ethiopia was growing stronger. Yitayew thought more events like this should be held to support cultural exchange, carrying the flags of both nations as a symbol of unity.
8. How many foreign countries celebrating the Year of the Dragon are mentioned?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
9. What did Hitz do at the festival for the Year of the Dragon in Zurich?

If you happen to be in Hollywood and see a car go by with no driver at the wheel, don’t be afraid. After more than a year of testing, around 50 driverless robot axis are debuting (亮相) to the public across Los Angeles on Thursday.
The autonomous vehicles (自动驾驶车辆) are run by Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. Waymo started giving driverless rides to passengers in San Francisco last year and also operates them in Phoenix.
At first, the rides will be free and open to people who’ve signed up on Waymo’s waitlist, which the company says has 50,000 people. In the coming weeks, Waymo will change to a paid service. The company’s service covers 63 square miles in Los Angeles, from Santa Monica to downtown.
In the beginning, self-driving cars in San Francisco got into trouble with mistakes and controversy. Both Waymo and its competitor Cruse, which is owned by GM, were complained about running red lights, and blocking public buses.
Cruise was involved in (涉及) an accident that left a walker seriously injured in October — causing the company to lose its operating right in San Francisco.
Unions and labor leaders say they’ re concerned that the robotaxis will take away jobs and also be a danger to workers who drive emergency vehicles.
“Autonomous vehicles like the ones that Waymo wants to introduce to our communities have been causing troubles wherever they go,” said Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. “It’s clear that this technology has not been well prepared for its use on our roads and in our cities.”
Despite those disagreements, autonomous driving is now a real-world way of getting around for tens of thousands of people each week. Waymo is setting its sights on its next robotaxi debut later this year.
12. What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Trust. B. Cost. C. Appearance. D. Disagreement.
13. Why did Cruise stop operating self-driving cars in San Francisco?
A. It caused a serious accident. B. It was short of money.
C. Its leader changed his mind. D. It took away workers’ jobs.
14. What is Yvonne Wheeler’s attitude towards self-driving cars?
A. Admiring. B. Uncaring. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear.
15. In which part of a website can we find this text?
A. History. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Education.

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。
I was walking to our local pharmacy (药房) when I suddenly remembered I needed to buy a special type of cat food from the vet (兽医) for my daughter’s cat. She couldn’t afford to pay for the expensive food so I had to pay for it. To be honest, paying $300 a month for the cat food made me feel stressed.
When I entered the vet hospital, the vet helper was helping another customer. She knew what kind of cat food I needed to buy and asked if I wanted a partial case (半箱) or a full case. Thinking I was always busy, I decided to buy a full one.
Just then another new customer hurried in and rushed to the front of the vet helper. The vet helper asked him to wait after me. Since I wasn’t in a hurry, I told the helper to serve the gentleman first. I could go to the pharmacy and give them time to do the paperwork while I was gone.
The helper said, “Thanks, that would be great!”
The gentleman said sorry for his cutting in the line just now because of something important to do, and said, “You should go first— you were here before me.”
“No worries, you go right ahead. My pleasure,” I said.
He jokingly replied, “Wow, how can I thank you?”
Not really thinking, I blurted out (脱口而出), “You could buy me a bag of cat food. Haha.” I laughed and left.
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。
I went back to the vet’s after about ten minutes.

Holding the cat food paid by the gentleman, I felt good inside.
