In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. Specific Benefits The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. Some Fears Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to the software that’s outdated. A Positive Example Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT. 36. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking? A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors. B. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data. C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT. D. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. 37. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money. B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely. C IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely. D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. 38. Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT? A. People will lose interest in it as quckly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone. B. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not. C. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years. D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 39. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ___. A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update B. were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairs C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company 40. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Craze is disappearing! B. It’s time to change! C. It’s all connected! D. The Internet is coming! B Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 41. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature. 42. According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the author______________. A. discussed his decision with his family. B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends 43. In his application for the volunteer job, the author _______________. A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other candidates 44. On arrival at the village, the author was ___________. A. asked to lead a farming team B. sent to teach in schoolhouse C. received warmly by local villagers D. arranged to live in a separate house. 45. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria? A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture B. He had learned to communicate in the local language. C. He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. C Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is a light-weight material, about 95 percent air, with very good insulation (隔热) properties, according to Earthsource.org. It is used in products from cups that keep your drinks hot or cold to packaging material that protects items during shipping. With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste. But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms. Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day. Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours, the plastic is turned into carbon dioxide. Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all, are the worms hurt by eating plastic? Much to the scientists’ surprise, the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran (谷糠). The researchers will study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale. Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic. “Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important”, says Wu, a Stanford University environmental engineering instructor. After all, our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage waiting to be dealt with, he says. About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year. Plastic plates, cups and containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America’s landfills. One Styrofoam cup takes more than I million years to recycle in a landfill, according to Cleveland State University. 46. What do we know about Styrofoam? A. It is harmful when recycled. B. It is a weightless material. C. It can be used to cool drinks. D. It is usually used on ships. 47. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. Mealworms are not bad in their nature. B. Mealworms can rescue people’s lives. C. Mealworms have amazing digesting power. D. People misunderstood mealworms in the past. 48. Why will researchers study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system? A. To help develop their digesting ability. B. To find ways to help mealworms grow larger. C. To make sure of their safety after eating plastic. D. To imitate their way of breaking down plastic. 49. In the future, plastic may be recycled ________. A. by raising amounts of mealworms B. without sending out dangerous pollution C. by environmental engineering instructors D. using a method inspired by eating mealworms 50. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Styrofoam is widely used in daily life. B. Plastic recycling may be no more a problem. C. Mealworms are genius at eating plastic. D. Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide. D The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction is ancient. But thanks to the Internet, the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It’s called the sharing economy. At its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods or services. While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time, the coming of apps and smartphone technology means that it’s easier for individuals to participate in peer-to-peer sharing transactions in real time. There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones: Finding temporary accommodation while travelling can be stressful, especially if you’re looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two. Everyone who’s ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain. Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech-based services that can help you find and even reserve an available parking space. Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache the sharing economy is helping alleviate. For pet owners, leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem, and leaving your pet at a kennel might leave you worried about their well-being when you should be relaxing. Luckily, a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own, with plenty of TLC—“tender loving care” and space to roam in the home of fellow pet lover. Now it is true that apps empower you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash. 51. What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs? A. The sharing economy has been around since ancient times. B. The sharing economy is brought by the coming of apps and smartphone technology. C. The sharing economy only involves the financial transaction of goods or services. D. The sharing economy is about connecting those with resources to those in need. 52. How can the sharing economy help people find temporary accommodation while travelling? A. By checking the information on short notice. B. By giving people many useful information. C. By offering those in need some popular services. D. By finding people who want to rent out their home. 53. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Improve. B. Handle. C. Disappear. D. Relieve. 54. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the sharing economy? A Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Indifferent. 55. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Graduating from high school is a momentous occasion in any young person’s life, and many choose to throw a big party to celebrate those four years of hard work. However, Leanne Carrasco, a Texas teen, decided that she didn’t want a party for herself, and instead she chose to host a pizza party for the homeless in her community as a way to celebrate her big day. The teen explained why she made a decision to think of others instead of herself on such a milestone occasion. She said, “Not a lot of people have the same options as me. There are a lot of people who need help. So I give it.” Although Carrasco had volunteered at the Star of Hope’s Women and Family Development Center with her family throughout the years, this time she decided to enlist the help of friends and fellow students to pull off the party. Not only did Carrasco provide about 90 pizzas for the residents of the shelter but she and her friends also collected 400 personal care bags to give out to those in need. Clearly, Carrasco’s actions made an impact on the shelter residents and the administration. “The teens showed respect for these people.” Scott Arthur, a spokesman for Star of Hope said, “The residents saw this as a proof that people do care. To express their gratitude, they gave Carrasco a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) while many lined up to give the teenager a hug and personally thanked her for her thoughtfulness.” All in all, Carrasco and her friends served lunch to about 200 people during their pizza party. “It was a magical day,” Arthur said, “It gives you a hope for the youth of today. They (the high schoolers) were able to think of other people.” 56. How did Carrasco celebrate her high school graduation day? (no more than 12 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did Carrasco choose to think of others rather than herself?

A. which B. whom C. whose D. that 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们特别感谢成千上万的志愿者，没有他们不知疲倦的工作，这些成就都不可能实现。“without ________ tireless work”是定语从句，修饰先行词volunteers，指人，关系词将先行词代入定语从句中作work的定语，表示“志愿者的工作”，应用表示所属关系的关系代词whose引导该定语从句，并在从句中作定语。故选C项。 6. —Do you mind closing the door? —________.

In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. Specific Benefits The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. Some Fears Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fashion that people lose interest in over time. Having Twitter feeds on refrigerator doors may sound cool at first, but the attraction could fade as quickly as the excitement over last year’s smartphone! Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to the software that’s outdated. A Positive Example Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car’s touchscreen console to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla’s remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people’s lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT. 36. How do researchers get everything and everyone talking? A. By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors. B. By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data. C. By communicating with them all the time through the IoT. D. By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. 37. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE? A. IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money. B. IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely. C. IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely. D. IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. 38. Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT? A. People will lose interest in it as quckly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone. B. Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not. C. Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years. D. The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 39. According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ___. A. just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update B. were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairs C. could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixed D. had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company 40. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Craze is disappearing! B. It’s time to change! C. It’s all connected! D. The Internet is coming! 【答案】36. D 37. D 38. B 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。随着计算机科学的快速发展，互联网的变化超出了我们的预期。本文主要介绍了物联网及其好处，同时也介绍了批评者们的担心。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. (将传感器连接到“事物”上，如奶牛、汽车和冰箱，然后为它们分配唯一的IP地址，使它们能够与互联网“对话”。)”可知，研究人员过将传感器与事物连接，并为它们指定唯一的IP地址，从而让它们说话。故选D。 37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Specific Benefits部分中的“Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could install smart meters in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to adjust their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours. (飞机制造商将能够持续跟踪飞机零件的状况，从而进行预防性维护，避免昂贵的停机时间。消费者可以在家中安装智能电表，实时监测能源使用情况和观察能源价格变化。这将使人们能够调整自己的习惯，在价格较低的时间使用电器。)”可知，物联网可以帮助人们进行预防性维护并节省资金，可以帮助人们监控能源使用情况，及时观察价格变化，可以帮助人们调整习惯，更明智地使用电器。D项“IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. (物联网可以帮助人们调查事物并更新许多重要数据。)”说法不对。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Some Fears部分中的“Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet-connected appliances will provide long-term software updates. (其他批评人士怀疑，生产互联网连接电器的公司是否会提供长期的软件更新。)”可知，批评人士们还担心生产互联网连接电器的公司是否会提供长期的软件更新。故选B。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Positive Example部分中的“Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice alerting them to a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air” wireless update. (今年年初，特斯拉Model S电动汽车的车主收到了召回通知，提醒他们需要修理充电插头。令人惊讶的是，当该公司进行“空中”无线更新时，Model S的车主们都在一旁歇着。)”可知，当特斯拉Model S电动汽车正在通过无线更新进行维护时，车主们只是在车内等待。故选A。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的首尾句“With the rapid development of computer science, the Internet is changing quickly out of our expectations. In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking.…Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020. (随着计算机科学的快速发展，互联网的变化超出了我们的预期。过去，我们只有互联网，而现在我们有物联网（IoT），它旨在让一切和每个人都能说话……到2020年，将有500亿互联网连接设备和对象通过数据发送。)”可知，本文主要讲的是计算机科学快速发展，人们用传感器将事物连接起来，使它们能够“对话”。C项“It’s all connected! (万物都是相连的！)”最能概括本文主旨。故选C。 B Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 41. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature. 42. According to the Project Lighthouse, it is likely that the author______________. A. discussed his decision with his family. B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends 43. In his application for the volunteer job, the author _______________. A. participated in many discussions B. went through challenging survival tests C. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work D. faced strong competition from other candidates 44. On arrival at the village, the author was ___________. A. asked to lead a farming team B. sent to teach in schoolhouse C. received warmly by local villagers D. arranged to live in a separate house. 45. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria? A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture B. He had learned to communicate in the local language. C. He had overcome all his weakness before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。叙述了作者在尼日利亚当志愿者的故事。作者大学毕业后，报名参加了灯塔项目活动，经过激烈的竞争，他被选中了。然后，他被拍到尼日利亚的一个村庄。他一到达那儿就开始带领当地人建校舍，然后第二年在那所学校教书。他在尼日利亚学到很多东西，他所以说灯塔项目永远改变了他的生活。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.(我的英国文学荣誉学位并没有让我真正做好任何实际工作的准备)”可推知，作者在大学里主要学习的是理论知识。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.(我知道这将是一项艰巨的工作，而且我将离开我的家人和朋友很长一段时间)”可推知，作者很可能因为不得不离开家人和朋友而感到悲伤。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.(经过无数次的面试和演讲，我成功地从候选人中脱颖而出，独自度过了考验)”可知，在申请志愿者工作时，作者面临着来自其他候选人的激烈竞争。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family.(虽然当地的村民很穷，但他们把自己的家、爱心和食物都给了我，就像我是他们自己的家人一样)”可知，作者受到了他们真心的欢迎。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man.(在那段时间的某个时候，我意识到所有那些对我来说似乎很奇怪或不寻常的事情都不再如此了，尽管我在当地的语言上没有取得什么进展，回到美国后我变成了另外一个人)”可知，由于当地的语言，我并没有去很多地方。推测作者还没有融入当地的文化。故选A。 C Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is a light-weight material, about 95 percent air, with very good insulation (隔热) properties, according to Earthsource.org. It is used in products from cups that keep your drinks hot or cold to packaging material that protects items during shipping. With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste. But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms. Scientists from the U.S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day. Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours, the plastic is turned into carbon dioxide. Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all, are the worms hurt by eating plastic? Much to the scientists’ surprise, the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran (谷糠). The researchers will study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale. Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic. “Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important”, says Wu, a Stanford University environmental engineering instructor. After all, our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage waiting to be dealt with, he says. About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year. Plastic plates cups and containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America’s landfills. One Styrofoam cup takes more than I million years to recycle in a landfill, according to Cleveland State University. 46. What do we know about Styrofoam? A. It is harmful when recycled. B. It is a weightless material. C. It can be used to cool drinks. D. It is usually used on ships. 47. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. Mealworms are not bad in their nature. B.

Why will researchers study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system? A. To help develop their digesting ability. B. To find ways to help mealworms grow larger. C.

What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Styrofoam is widely used in daily life. B. Plastic recycling may be no more a problem. C. Mealworms are genius at eating plastic. D. Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料在日常生活中有很多的优点，但是在回收再利用时会产生污染，最近研究发现一种蠕虫能帮助解决聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料回收再利用时造成的环境污染问题。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air.(尽管有上述优点，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收。)”可知，如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收，由此可知，这种塑料在回收时向空气中释放有害的物质。故选A。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Scientists from the U. S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day.(来自美国和中国的科学家发现，粉虫可以消化塑料。一只粉虫一天可以消化药丸大小的塑料。)”可知，中美研究者发现，粉虫能消化塑料，而且一只粉虫能一天消化药丸大小的塑料，由此可推断，粉虫有着惊人的消化能力。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The researchers will study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale.(研究人员将研究这种蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统，希望在更大的范围内复制塑料分解。)”可知，研究者研究蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统，指望着能更大范围地复制这种分解，由此可知，研究者研究蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统是为了模仿蠕虫分解塑料的方式。故选D。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air.(尽管有上述优点，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收。)”可知，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料有很多的优点，但是却在回收利用它时享有一个坏的名声，并结合倒数第三段中的“Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.(一旦这种方法被付诸实践，它将对塑料的处理产生革命性的影响。)”可知，一旦这种（蠕虫）分解塑料的方式被投入使用，会对塑料处理产生很大的影响，由此可推断，在未来，塑料可以在没有释放有害物质的情况下被回收利用了。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.(尽管有上述优点，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收。美国环境保护署表示，它是有害废物的第五大制造者。)”可知，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料尽管有很多的优点，但是在对其回收再利用时会产生污染，根据第三段中的“But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms.(但现在，那些通常令人作呕的普通蠕虫可以来拯救我们了，特别是粉虫。)”可知，研究者发现一种粉虫却能解决这一问题，结合下文中经过对粉虫的饮食习惯和消化系统的研究分析，希望能大范围地复制这种粉虫分解塑料的方式以便最终解决塑料回收时对环境造成的污染，由此可知，本文主要讲述的是塑料的回收利用不再是问题。故选B。 D The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction is ancient. But thanks to the Internet, the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It’s called the sharing economy. At its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods or services. While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time, the coming of apps and smartphone technology means that it’s easier for individuals to participate in peer-to-peer sharing transactions in real time. There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones: Finding temporary accommodation while travelling can be stressful, especially if you’re looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two. Everyone who’s ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain. Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech-based services that can help you find and even reserve an available parking space. Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache the sharing economy is helping alleviate. For pet owners, leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem, and leaving your pet at a kennel might leave you worried about their well-being when you should be relaxing. Luckily, a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own, with plenty of TLC—“tender loving care” and space to roam in the home of fellow pet lover. Now it is true that apps empower you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it’s a bike, some tools you need for project, or anything in between, collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash. 51. What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs? A. The sharing economy has been around since ancient times. B. The sharing economy is brought by the coming of apps and smartphone technology. C. The sharing economy only involves the financial transaction of goods or services. D. The sharing economy is about connecting those with resources to those in need. 52. How can the sharing economy help people find temporary accommodation while travelling? A. By checking the information on short notice. B. By giving people many useful information. C. By offering those in need some popular services. D. By finding people who want to rent out their home. 53. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Improve. B. Handle. C. Disappear. D. Relieve. 54. What is probably the author’s attitude towards the sharing economy? A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Indifferent. 55. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】51. D 52. C 53. D 54. B 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是共享经济的概念以及人们参与共享经济的原因。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“At its most basic, the sharing economy, also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy, is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. (共享经济，也被称为协作或点对点经济，最基本的是将拥有资源的个人与需要资源的人联系起来。)”可知，共享经济是将那些拥有资源的人与那些需要帮助的人联系起来。故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two. (由于共享经济的发展，现在出现了一些很受欢迎的服务，可以将想要出租公寓或房屋的人与旅行者联系起来，最短的时间只有一两天。)”可知，共享经济通过为有需要的人提供一些受欢迎的服务来帮助人们在旅行中找到临时住所，故选C。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache (无论你是时间紧迫，还是在游览一个陌生的城市时需要找个地方停一两天车，停车都是另一个令人头疼的问题)”，因此划线词所在的句子意为“停车都是共享经济帮助缓解的另一个头疼问题”，划线词alleviate的意思是“缓解”。A. Improve改进；B. Handle改进；C. Disappear消失；D. Reliev缓解，缓和。划线词和relieve意思相近，故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two. (得益于共享经济，有一些受欢迎的服务将那些想租出公寓或房子的人与旅行者联系起来，只需一两天)”根据第五段的“Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache the sharing economy is helping alleviate. (无论你是时间紧迫，还是去一个不熟悉的城市时需要找个地方停一两天车，停车都是共享经济帮助缓解的另一个头疼问题。)”根据第六段中“Luckily, a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. (幸运的是，一点技术启发的合作可以提供一个优雅的解决方案)”可知，作者对共享经济是持支持态度，故选B。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy, but here are some of the biggest ones (人们参与共享经济的原因有很多，但以下是一些最主要的原因)”，第四段的“Thanks to the sharing economy, there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for as little as a day or two. (由于共享经济的发展，现在出现了一些很受欢迎的服务，可以将想要出租公寓或房屋的人与旅行者联系起来，最短的时间只有一两天。)”，第五段的“Whether you’re pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city, parking is one more headache the sharing economy is helping alleviate. (无论你是时间紧迫，还是去一个不熟悉的城市时需要找个地方停一两天车，停车都是共享经济帮助缓解的另一个头疼问题。)”，第六段的“Luckily, a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. (幸运的是，一点技术启发的合作可以提供一个优雅的解决方案。)”可知，第4、5、6段讲的是人们参与共享经济的原因，因此4、5、6三段是并列关系，且和第三段属于总分关系，第7段属于总结段落，因此这篇文章的结构是A，故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Graduating from high school is a momentous occasion in any young person’s life, and many choose to throw a big party to celebrate those four years of hard work. However, Leanne Carrasco, a Texas teen, decided that she didn’t want a party for herself, and instead she chose to host a pizza party for the homeless in her community as a way to celebrate her big day. The teen explained why she made a decision to think of others instead of herself on such a milestone occasion. She said, “Not a lot of people have the same options as me. There are a lot of people who need help. So I give it.” Although Carrasco had volunteered at the Star of Hope’s Women and Family Development Center with her family throughout the years, this time she decided to enlist the help of friends and fellow students to pull off the party. Not only did Carrasco provide about 90 pizzas for the residents of the shelter but she and her friends also collected 400 personal care bags to give out to those in need. Clearly, Carrasco’s actions made an impact on the shelter residents and the administration. “The teens showed respect for these people.” Scott Arthur, a spokesman for Star of Hope said, “The residents saw this as a proof that people do care. To express their gratitude, they gave Carrasco a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) while many lined up to give the teenager a hug and personally thanked her for her thoughtfulness.” All in all, Carrasco and her friends served lunch to about 200 people during their pizza party. “It was a magical day,” Arthur said, “It gives you a hope for the youth of today. They (the high schoolers) were able to think of other people.” 56. How did Carrasco celebrate her high school graduation day? (no more than 12 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did Carrasco choose to think of others rather than herself? (no more than 9 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “enlist” in paragraph 3 probably mean? (only I word) _________________________________________________________________________________ 59. How did residents of the shelter feel about Carrasco’s actions? (no more than 6 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 60. What would you like to do to celebrate your high school graduation day? Please explain your reason. (no more than 20 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She hosted a pizza party for the homeless in her community. Or: By hosting a pizza party for the homeless in her community. 57. (Because) there were lots of people who needed help. Or: (Because) she wanted to help the people in need 58. Get/ Obtain. 59. They felt grateful/ thankful for Carrasco’s care. 60. Possible answer: I’d like to hold a party for my parents and teachers to thank them for their care and love. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了德州少女Leanne Carrasco通过为无家可归者举办披萨派对来庆祝高中毕业的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“However, Leanne Carrasco, a Texas teen, decided that she didn’t want a party for herself, and instead she chose to host a pizza party for the homeless in her community as a way to celebrate her big day. (然而，德克萨斯州的一名少女Leanne Carrasco决定不为自己举办派对，而是选择为社区里的无家可归者举办披萨派对，以此来庆祝她的大喜日子。)”可知，Carrasco选择为社区里的无家可归者举办披萨派对来庆祝她的高中毕业。故答案为：She hosted a pizza party for the homeless in her community. Or: By hosting a pizza party for the homeless in her community. 【57题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段中“The teen explained why she made a decision to think of others instead of herself on such a milestone occasion. She said, “Not a lot of people have the same options as me. There are a lot of people who need help. So I give it.” (这名少女解释了为什么在这样一个里程碑式的时刻她会选择考虑他人而不是自己。她说：“不是每个人都有我这样的机会。有很多人需要帮助。所以我给予。”)”可知，Carrasco选择为别人着想，而不是为自己着想，是因为有很多人需要帮助。故答案为：(Because) there were lots of people who needed help. Or: (Because) she wanted to help the people in need. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“Although Carrasco had volunteered at the Star of Hope’s Women and Family Development Center with her family throughout the years, this time she decided to enlist the help of friends and fellow students to pull off the party. (虽然Carrasco多年来一直和家人一起在希望之星妇女和家庭发展中心做志愿者，但这次她决定enlist朋友和同学的帮助来完成这次聚会。)”可知，enlist的意思是“得到”，指Carrasco决定邀请朋友和同学帮忙筹办派对，得到朋友和同学的帮助来完成这次聚会。故答案为：Get/ Obtain. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“The residents saw this as a proof that people do care. To express their gratitude, they gave Carrasco a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼) while many lined up to give the teenager a hug and personally thanked her for her thoughtfulness. (居民们认为这证明了人们确实关心他们。为了表达他们的感激之情，他们起立为卡拉斯科鼓掌，许多人排队给她一个拥抱，并亲自感谢她的体贴。)”可知，他们对Carrasco的关心心存感激。故答案为：They felt grateful/ thankful for Carrasco’s care. 【60题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你想做什么来庆祝你的高中毕业日？请解释一下你的理由。答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：我想为我的父母和老师举办一个聚会，感谢他们的关心和爱。故答案为：I’d like to hold a party for my parents and teachers to thank them for their care and love. 第二节 书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假如你是红星中学高三学生李津。在第16个全国防灾减灾日到来之际，你们学校开展了一次以“安全进校园”为主题的教育活动。你校国际部交换生Chris对此很感兴趣，发来邮件询问。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动安排。 注意：词数不少于100。 提示词：全国防灾减灾日National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Chris, How is everything going?
