Growing up on a mountain farm in Tyrol, Fritz enjoyed watching how cows and horses interacted with each other more freely, once they’d been led out of the barn and into pasture. It was what he observed in his boyhood that took root in his pursuit of becoming a biologist. After he finished his study at university. Fritz landed work at Austria’s Konrad Lorenz Research Center, raising raven chicks by hand and teaching graylag geese how to open boxes as he pursued his PhD.Working this closely with free-living animals was exactly what he’d dreamed of as a boy.
In 1997, a zoo gave the research center its first northern bald ibis chicks (隐鹮) Nowhere near as teachable as geese—and not even close to super intelligent ravens—the ibises frustrated most of the scientists. But Fritz was fascinated. He devoted himself to taking care of them. After the ibises were first released back into the wild more than 20 years ago, Fritz learned that spending generations in zoo hadn’t reduced their drive to migrate (迁徙), though it did leave them geographically uninformed. In their search for “south”, some ended up in Russia. What the ibises needed, Fritz thought, was a guide.
Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was confident he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan—because he had done it before. “Around that time, the movie ‘Fly Away Home’ was a huge hit with us biologists,” Fritz says. When he announced that he’d do the same with the ibises, he was initially laughed at. But Fritz didn’t give up. He modified an ultralight aircraft so it would travel at speeds slow enough for his winged students to keep up. He had been his young pupils’ only provider of food, love and hugs since they were just a few days old, and the ibises eagerly followed their teacher, who just happened to pilot a fairly noisy machine.
In 2004, three years after some initially bumpy (颠簸的) experiments, Fritz led the first batch of birds from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the route on to their own young.
24.What determined Fritz’s career choice?
A.Fritz’s childhood observation. B.Fritz’s passion for biology.
C.Fritz’s growth environment. D.Fritz’s interaction with animals.
25.What disappointed the scientists about ibis chicks?
A.They are easy to get lost in the migration.
B.They are lacking in the desire to migrate.
C.They are accustomed to the life in the zoo.
D.They are strikingly far from easy to teach.
26.Why did Fritz decide to teach the ibises a new migration route?
A.The ibises were too awkward to find a new migration route.
B.The ibises needed a guide for lack of geographical knowledge.
C.Fritz wanted to prove that he could succeed in a daring plan.
D.Fritz wanted to recreate a touching scene of a popular movie.
27.What is Fritz like according to the passage?
A.sensitive but courageous. B.innovative but demanding.
C.persistent and insightful. D.enthusiastic and cooperative.

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the centre of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city’s landscape is decided by volcanos, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanos, many of which currently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water-lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, for swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political centre of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear hug. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it still takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
Wellington plays host to an excellent festival of the arts every two years.
28.From the passage, we know that Auckland used to ________ .
A.host a festival of the arts
B.afford great views of the city
C.be the capital of New Zealand
D.have more boats than any other country in the world
29.Auckland is the best city in New Zealand for people to ________.
A.see green hills
B.do water sports
C.study New Zealand culture
D.visit historic streets and buildings
30.What’s the author’s attitude towards the cityscape in Wellington?
A.Critical. B.Neutral.
C.Favourable. D.Indifferent.
31.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Auckland and Wellington
B.Welcome to New Zealand
C.The Capital of New Zealand
D.The Landscape of New Zealand

Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.
California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey’s AeroFarms and Kentucky’s AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.
The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. “The fact that other people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to,” he said.
Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call “controlled environment agriculture”. There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lights and with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.
Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.
But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, “It’s just hard to be very profitable.”
32.What is Jacob Portillo’s attitude to the indoor food growing industry?
A.Positive. B.Worried. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
33.What can we learn about indoor farming?
A.It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants.
B.It means growing plants in water instead of soil.
C.It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather.
D.It is different from controlled environment agriculture.
34.Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations?
A.They produce little food. B.They carry great cost.
C.They need sunlight. D.They lack investors.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors?
B.How Can You Grow Food Indoors Without Soil?
C.Indoor Farming Companies Take Agriculture Indoors
D.Indoor Food Growing Operations Face an Uncertain Future

How was your sleep last night? As is known to us all, sleep habits have a significant effect on our health. 36
Jump scares from alarms
A young woman recently shared online that she felt dizzy and threw up after her loud alarm woke her up. 37 The body changes during sleep, making people vulnerable in the early hours, Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center told Daily Mail. During the later part of the night, the nervous system is less active and most of the body processes slow down. When a sudden noise occurs, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing will react more rapidly.
Waking up suddenly is not desirable, but it’s difficult for most people to wake up by themselves naturally. 38 Another way can be leaving the curtains half open before sleep-the sunshine in the morning can slowly wake you up.
39
Although valuing the 8-hour golden rule of sleeping, some young people may go to bed late and then get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. However, this can be problematic since human bodies can tell the time.
“Environmental cues such as temperature and light levels tell the body what time it is,” expert Nerina Ramlakhan wrote in a book about sleep. Ramlakhan added that waking up late the next day could also lead to sleep inertia, which is a state between sleep and waking. 40
The habit may turn into a disorder called delayed sleep phase syndrome if it is serious enough to affect a person’s study, work and other aspects of life. Special treatments have already been developed to treat the disorder, such as using light to gradually change sleeping patterns.
A.Sleep late, get up late.
B.Early to bed, early up.
C.Here are ways that can help us develop some good sleep habits.
D.This is why, after oversleeping, people may feel even more tired.
E.A more mild alarm may be helpful, giving the body some time to adjust.
F.Let’s check out some sleep habits that may accidentally harm your health.
G.It was because the blood supply to part of her brain was shortly blocked, according to her diagnosis record.

Ahh, there’s my 52 , I thought. “So scared was I that I couldn’t move, I remembered. You walked with me from one side of the street to the other. With your tender voice and 53 smile, you repeated, ‘It’s okay, you’re doing fine.’ I made it. Dad, you helped me to be all I could be.” Dad nodded and smiled.
And as we 54 the day, he held his head up higher, and soon he was 55 to exercise his legs. Wearing a gentle voice and a peaceful smile, I said, “It’s okay, Dad, you’re doing fine.”

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。
Maria was my best friend. When we first met, I knew we were meant to be friends forever. But then something happened.
One day, I said to her excitedly, “There’s a two-day art camp this summer,” holding up the bright-red paper I had grabbed as we entered the library.
Maria took the paper and glanced at it. She stopped when her eyes caught the date. “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time when I would be out of town with my family.”
Maria handed the paper back to me as she stood up to look at the shelf of new books.
I sighed and dropped my head down.
“Alice, you’re the artist.” She smiled. “But I’m terrible at drawing.”
“You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone.
Going out of the library, I was still in low spirits.
After school, I showed the paper to my mother. She asked me whether I would attend the art camp. I told my mother probably not because my friend would not go.
Mom patted my back and she knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year,” she comforted me.
“Maybe.” I sighed. “I’m going outside to draw our pine tree. I’ll be out front.”
I opened the door and looked at the bright sunshine as I sat on the front doorstep. I thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. Maria could make friends with a whole busload of kids in 10 minutes, but my stomach twirls like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me. By the time I started painting, I had convinced myself it was OK to skip the camp.
I used my pencil and drew the pine’s strong and straight trunk, and added the graceful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently toward the sun.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I jumped when Maria said, “You paint quite well.”

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
18.What will control the tree house’s temperature?
A.The roof. B.The leaves. C.The soil.
19.What is the most important design of a lizard house?
A.Changing colors. B.Collecting sunlight. C.Producing energy.
20.Why can the chimney be a useful air conditioner?
A.It allows cool air to come in.
B.It is easy for hot air to flow out.
C.It can protect the house from strong cold air.
【答案】18.C 19.A 20.B
【原文】W: We won’t know what the future house will look like, but we can imagine three kinds of houses. The first one is the tree house. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity and even create fresh air for the home. The root of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the home’s temperature. The second one is the lizard home. Like a lizard, changing colors with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During the dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy. The last one is the chimney house. In such a house, a chimney can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.

Growing up on a mountain farm in Tyrol, Fritz enjoyed watching how cows and horses interacted with each other more freely, once they’d been led out of the barn and into pasture. It was what he observed in his boyhood that took root in his pursuit of becoming a biologist. After he finished his study at university. Fritz landed work at Austria’s Konrad Lorenz Research Center, raising raven chicks by hand and teaching graylag geese how to open boxes as he pursued his PhD.Working this closely with free-living animals was exactly what he’d dreamed of as a boy.
In 1997, a zoo gave the research center its first northern bald ibis chicks (隐鹮) Nowhere near as teachable as geese—and not even close to super intelligent ravens—the ibises frustrated most of the scientists. But Fritz was fascinated. He devoted himself to taking care of them. After the ibises were first released back into the wild more than 20 years ago, Fritz learned that spending generations in zoo hadn’t reduced their drive to migrate (迁徙), though it did leave them geographically uninformed. In their search for “south”, some ended up in Russia. What the ibises needed, Fritz thought, was a guide.
Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was confident he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan—because he had done it before. “Around that time, the movie ‘Fly Away Home’ was a huge hit with us biologists,” Fritz says. When he announced that he’d do the same with the ibises, he was initially laughed at. But Fritz didn’t give up. He modified an ultralight aircraft so it would travel at speeds slow enough for his winged students to keep up. He had been his young pupils’ only provider of food, love and hugs since they were just a few days old, and the ibises eagerly followed their teacher, who just happened to pilot a fairly noisy machine.
In 2004, three years after some initially bumpy (颠簸的) experiments, Fritz led the first batch of birds from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the route on to their own young.
24.What determined Fritz’s career choice?
A.Fritz’s childhood observation. B.Fritz’s passion for biology.
C.Fritz’s growth environment. D.Fritz’s interaction with animals.
25.What disappointed the scientists about ibis chicks?
A.They are easy to get lost in the migration.
B.They are lacking in the desire to migrate.
C.They are accustomed to the life in the zoo.
D.They are strikingly far from easy to teach.
26.Why did Fritz decide to teach the ibises a new migration route?
A.The ibises were too awkward to find a new migration route.
B.The ibises needed a guide for lack of geographical knowledge.
C.Fritz wanted to prove that he could succeed in a daring plan.
D.Fritz wanted to recreate a touching scene of a popular movie.
27.What is Fritz like according to the passage?
A.sensitive but courageous. B.innovative but demanding.
C.persistent and insightful. D.enthusiastic and cooperative.
【答案】24.A 25.D 26.B 27.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生物学家Fritz教给朱鹭一种新的迁徙路线,使这种鸟儿安全迁徙的故事。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was what he observed in his boyhood that took root in his pursuit of becoming a biologist. (正是他在少年时代的观察,使他立志成为一名生物学家。)”可知,是Fritz童年的观察决定了他的职业选择。故选A项。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1997, a zoo gave the research center its first northern bald ibis chicks(隐鹮) Nowhere near as teachable as geese—and not even close to super intelligent ravens—the ibises frustrated most of the scientists. (1997年,一家动物园给了研究中心第一批北方秃头朱鹮幼鸟,它们远不如鹅那么容易教,甚至远不如超级聪明的乌鸦——朱鹮让大多数科学家感到沮丧。)”可知,朱鹭幼鸟非常不容易教,这让科学家感到失望。故选D项。
26.细节理解题。根据第二段中“After the ibises were first released back into the wild more than 20 years ago, Fritz learned that spending generations in zoo hadn’t reduced their drive to migrate(迁徙), though it did leave them geographically uninformed. In their search for ‘south’, some ended up in Russia. What the ibises needed, Fritz thought, was a guide. (20多年前,朱鹭第一次被放生到野外后,Fritz了解到,在动物园里生活几代并没有减少它们迁徙的动力,尽管这确实让它们对地理环境一无所知。在寻找‘南方’的过程中,一些人来到了俄罗斯。Fritz认为,朱鹭需要的是一个向导。)”可知,朱鹭缺乏地理知识,需要一个向导,所以Fritz决定教朱鹭一种新的迁徙路线。故选B项。
27.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was confident he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan—because he had done it before. (Fritz决定亲自驾驶一架小飞机,教这些鸟一条新的、更安全的迁徙路线。而且他相信自己能在这个大胆的、非传统的计划中取得成功——因为他以前做过。)”、“When he announced that he’d do the same with the ibises, he was initially laughed at. But Fritz didn’t give up.(当他宣布他将对朱鹭做同样的事情时,他最初遭到了嘲笑。但Fritz没有放弃。)”以及最后一段“In 2004, three years after some initially bumpy(颠簸的) experiments, Fritz led the first batch of birds from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations.(2004年,在经历了一些最初坎坷的实验三年后,Fritz带领第一批鸟类从奥地利迁徙到意大利,此后又带领了15次这样的迁徙。)”可知,Fritz坚持不懈并且富有洞察力。故选C项。

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. Auckland is the centre of commerce and industry, and is perhaps the most energetic, prosperous and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The city’s landscape is decided by volcanos, the twin harbors, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname “the city of sails” is very suitable. Auckland has more boats for each person than anywhere else in the world.
Auckland has many volcanos, many of which currently afford great views of the city. And Auckland’s shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water-lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, for swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country.
Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand. It is also the cultural, administrative and political centre of the country. Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear hug. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it still takes your breath away.
Wellington is a scenic, windy and diverse place. It has some of the best museums, art galleries, restaurants and coffee houses in the country. It is the storehouse for the nation’s historic, cultural and artistic treasures. Being the first place where European settlers arrived, it also boasts lots of historic streets and buildings.
Wellington plays host to an excellent festival of the arts every two years.
28.From the passage, we know that Auckland used to ________ .
A.host a festival of the arts
B.afford great views of the city
C.be the capital of New Zealand
D.have more boats than any other country in the world
29.Auckland is the best city in New Zealand for people to ________.
A.see green hills
B.do water sports
C.study New Zealand culture
D.visit historic streets and buildings
30.What’s the author’s attitude towards the cityscape in Wellington?
A.Critical. B.Neutral.
C.Favourable. D.Indifferent.
31.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Auckland and Wellington
B.Welcome to New Zealand
C.The Capital of New Zealand
D.The Landscape of New Zealand
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.C 31.A
【导语】文章为说明文。整篇文章介绍了新西兰曾经的首都Auckland和现在的首都Wellington的特点。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段“Auckland is New Zealand’s largest urban area with a population of just over a million. It is not, however, the capital, although it was at one time, until the capital moved to Wellington. (奥克兰是新西兰最大的城市,人口只有100多万。然而,它不是首都,尽管它曾经是首都,直到首都迁至惠灵顿。)”可知,新西兰曾经以Auckland为首都。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“And Auckland’s shiny waters seem to attract people from every point. It is a water-lovers’ best place, with some of the best beaches, for swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and water sports in the country. (奥克兰闪亮的海水似乎吸引着四面八方的人们。它是水上爱好者的最佳去处,拥有一些最好的海滩,适合游泳、潜水、钓鱼、帆船运动、帆板运动和水上运动。)”可知,Auckland是水上运动爱好者的最佳去处,周边海域适合多项水上运动。故选B项。
30.推理判断题。根据第四段“Two aspects of the city that will immediately strike any visitor are the harbor and hilly landscape. Everywhere you go, the sounds and the smell of the ocean hang in the air, and green hills and valleys wrap you in a bear hug. At night, Wellington offers a spectacular, shimmering cityscape that is unlike almost anywhere else in the world. Even after seeing it for a hundred times, it still takes your breath away. (这座城市有两个方面会立即打动任何游客,那就是港口和丘陵景观。无论你走到哪里,空气中都弥漫着海洋的声音和气味,绿色的山丘和山谷将你紧紧拥抱。晚上,惠灵顿呈现出一种壮观的、闪闪发光的城市景观,这与世界上几乎其他任何地方都不同。即使看了一百遍,它仍然美得让你窒息。)”可知,作者描述的惠灵顿极其美丽,作者很喜爱惠灵顿的城市风光。故选C项。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文,文章介绍了新西兰曾经的首都Auckland和现在的首都Wellington的特点。因此最佳标题是这两个城市,即A项“奥克兰和惠灵顿”。故选A项。
D
Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.
California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey’s AeroFarms and Kentucky’s AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.
The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. “The fact that other people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to,” he said.
Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call “controlled environment agriculture”. There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lights and with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.
Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.
But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, “It’s just hard to be very profitable.”
32.What is Jacob Portillo’s attitude to the indoor food growing industry?
A.Positive. B.Worried. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
33.What can we learn about indoor farming?
A.It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants.
B.It means growing plants in water instead of soil.
C.It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather.
D.It is different from controlled environment agriculture.
34.Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations?
A.They produce little food. B.They carry great cost.
C.They need sunlight. D.They lack investors.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors?
B.How Can You Grow Food Indoors Without Soil?
C.Indoor Farming Companies Take Agriculture Indoors
D.Indoor Food Growing Operations Face an Uncertain Future
【答案】32.A 33.C 34.B 35.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在美国,室内食品种植有成功也有失败。食品行业的一些公司在竞争对手失败的情况下仍在投资。文章主要说明了室内食品种植的现状以及人们对室内种植的看法,和室内种植不确定的前景。
32.推理判断题。根据第三段“The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. “The fact that other people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to,” he said. ( Jacob Portillo是伊甸园绿色科技公司的一名种植者,该公司是一家室内农业公司。他说:“别人失败,别人成功的情况在任何行业都会发生。”)”可推断,Jacob Portillo对室内食物种植业持“肯定”的态度。故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据第五段“Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change. (室内种植也是一种保护作物免受气候变化引起的日益极端天气影响的方法)”可知,室内农业保护作物免受日益极端的天气影响。故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, “It’s just hard to be very profitable.” (考虑到室内运营的高成本,Covington说,“很难盈利。”)”可知,Covington质疑室内农业的运营是因为其成本太高。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail. (在美国,室内食品种植有成功也有失败。食品行业的一些公司在竞争对手失败的情况下仍在投资)”结合文章主要说明了室内食品种植的现状以及人们对室内种植的看法,和室内种植不确定的前景。故D选项“室内食品种植面临不确定的未来”最符合文章标题。故选D。
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。
How was your sleep last night? As is known to us all, sleep habits have a significant effect on our health. 36
Jump scares from alarms
A young woman recently shared online that she felt dizzy and threw up after her loud alarm woke her up. 37 The body changes during sleep, making people vulnerable in the early hours, Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center told Daily Mail. During the later part of the night, the nervous system is less active and most of the body processes slow down. When a sudden noise occurs, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing will react more rapidly.
Waking up suddenly is not desirable, but it’s difficult for most people to wake up by themselves naturally. 38 Another way can be leaving the curtains half open before sleep-the sunshine in the morning can slowly wake you up.
39
Although valuing the 8-hour golden rule of sleeping, some young people may go to bed late and then get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. However, this can be problematic since human bodies can tell the time.
“Environmental cues such as temperature and light levels tell the body what time it is,” expert Nerina Ramlakhan wrote in a book about sleep. Ramlakhan added that waking up late the next day could also lead to sleep inertia, which is a state between sleep and waking. 40
The habit may turn into a disorder called delayed sleep phase syndrome if it is serious enough to affect a person’s study, work and other aspects of life. Special treatments have already been developed to treat the disorder, such as using light to gradually change sleeping patterns.
A.Sleep late, get up late.
B.Early to bed, early up.
C.Here are ways that can help us develop some good sleep habits.
D.This is why, after oversleeping, people may feel even more tired.
E.A more mild alarm may be helpful, giving the body some time to adjust.
F.Let’s check out some sleep habits that may accidentally harm your health.
G.It was because the blood supply to part of her brain was shortly blocked, according to her diagnosis record.
【答案】36.F 37.G 38.E 39.A 40.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了由闹钟突然叫醒和晚睡晚起带来的健康危害。
36.根据上文的“How was your sleep last night? As is known to us all, sleep habits have a significant effect on our health. (你昨晚睡得怎么样?众所周知,睡眠习惯对我们的健康有着重要的影响。)”可知,睡眠习惯影响健康,F项“让我们来看看一些可能意外危害健康的睡眠习惯。”承接上文,作为过渡句引出下文的不良睡眠习惯,故选F项。
37.根据上文的“A young woman recently shared online that she felt dizzy and threw up after her loud alarm woke her up.(一位年轻女子最近在网上分享说,她被大声的闹钟吵醒后感到头晕并呕吐。)”和下文的“The body changes during sleep, making people vulnerable in the early hours, Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center told Daily Mail. During the later part of the night, the nervous system is less active and most of the body processes slow down. When a sudden noise occurs, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing will react more rapidly.(爱丁堡睡眠中心的Chris Idzikowski告诉《每日邮报》,睡眠中身体会发生变化,使人们在凌晨变得脆弱。在深夜,神经系统不那么活跃,身体活动的大部分过程都会减慢。当突然出现噪音时,血压、心率和呼吸反应会更快。)”可知,G项“根据她的诊断记录,这是因为她大脑部分的血液供应很快就被阻断了。”承接上文,解释了这位女子出现不良反应的原因,下文给出了具体的医学原理,故选G项。
38.根据上文的“Waking up suddenly is not desirable, but it’s difficult for most people to wake up by themselves naturally.(突然醒来是不可取的,但大多数人很难自己自然醒来。)”和下文的“Another way can be leaving the curtains half open before sleep-the sunshine in the morning can slowly wake you up.(另一种方法是在睡觉前把窗帘半开——早上的阳光会慢慢让你醒来。)”可知,E项“更温和的闹钟可能会有所帮助,给身体一些时间进行调整。”承接上文,指出了相对于突然被闹钟叫醒,更温和的闹钟是一个好办法,下文又提供了一个合适的办法,故选E项。
39.根据本段的“Although valuing the 8-hour golden rule of sleeping, some young people may go to bed late and then get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am. However, this can be problematic since human bodies can tell the time.(虽然看重8小时睡眠的黄金法则,但一些年轻人可能会晚睡晚起,比如从凌晨2点睡到10点。然而,这可能会有问题,因为人的身体可以分辨时间。)”可知,A项“晚睡晚起。”能够概括本段内容,指出了又一个不良的睡眠习惯,故选A项。
40.根据上文的““Environmental cues such as temperature and light levels tell the body what time it is,” expert Nerina Ramlakhan wrote in a book about sleep. Ramlakhan added that waking up late the next day could also lead to sleep inertia, which is a state between sleep and waking.(专家Nerina Ramlakhan在一本关于睡眠的书中写道:“温度和光照水平等环境线索告诉身体现在是什么时候。”。Ramlakhan补充道,第二天晚醒也可能导致睡眠惯性,这是一种介于睡眠和清醒之间的状态。)”可知,D项“这就是为什么睡过头后,人们可能会感到更累的原因。”承接上文,解释了晚睡晚起后人们感到疲倦的原因,故选D项。

I was watching over Dad that afternoon. He was unable to walk due to his stroke (中风) and had to rely 41 on others for most of his needs. At the moment he was 42 in another world in his wheelchair, with his head hanging down, seeming content and yet somehow 43 .
Sometimes he’d get so frustrated because all he saw were his 44 . To encourage him to do all that he could still do, including exercising his legs, I had to 45 him of all that he had done. He’d even get angry when I kept requiring him to do that, but I didn’t 46 . It was a battle of the 47 .
So 48 to motivate him, this time, I quietly said to him, “Hey, Dad, do you remember the day you taught me to cross the big street on my bike?” His 49 suddenly broke, and slurred (含混不清地说话), “Certainly,” raising his head. “You got to the middle of the street and 50 .” His eyes and mouth smiled and his face 51 .
Ahh, there’s my 52 , I thought. “So scared was I that I couldn’t move, I remembered. You walked with me from one side of the street to the other. With your tender voice and 53 smile, you repeated, ‘It’s okay, you’re doing fine.’ I made it. Dad, you helped me to be all I could be.” Dad nodded and smiled.
And as we 54 the day, he held his head up higher, and soon he was 55 to exercise his legs. Wearing a gentle voice and a peaceful smile, I said, “It’s okay, Dad, you’re doing fine.”

56.考查副词。句意:七夕,也就是众所周知的中国情人节,通常在8月。修饰known应用副词widely,作状语。填widely。
57.考查时态和语态。句意:七夕是中国农历七月初七,是中国唯一一个被认为与爱情有关的节日。此空是定语从句的谓语,先行词是Chinese festival和think之间是被动关系,陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态,谓语用单数。故填is thought。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Maria was my best friend. When we first met, I knew we were meant to be friends forever. But then something happened.
One day, I said to her excitedly, “There’s a two-day art camp this summer,” holding up the bright-red paper I had grabbed as we entered the library.
Maria took the paper and glanced at it. She stopped when her eyes caught the date. “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time when I would be out of town with my family.”
Maria handed the paper back to me as she stood up to look at the shelf of new books.
I sighed and dropped my head down.
“Alice, you’re the artist.” She smiled. “But I’m terrible at drawing.”
“You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone.
Going out of the library, I was still in low spirits.
After school, I showed the paper to my mother. She asked me whether I would attend the art camp. I told my mother probably not because my friend would not go.
Mom patted my back and she knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. “Maybe next year,” she comforted me.
“Maybe.” I sighed. “I’m going outside to draw our pine tree. I’ll be out front.”
I opened the door and looked at the bright sunshine as I sat on the front doorstep. I thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. Maria could make friends with a whole busload of kids in 10 minutes, but my stomach twirls like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me. By the time I started painting, I had convinced myself it was OK to skip the camp.
I used my pencil and drew the pine’s strong and straight trunk, and added the graceful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently toward the sun.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I jumped when Maria said, “You paint quite well.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The big day of the art camp finally arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I jumped when Maria said, “You paint quite well.” I was shocked because I was absorbed in painting. Then, at this moment, Maria was in front of me, and I couldn’t help wondering, “Maria, is it really you?” Maria nodded, grinning at me and said, “Alice, teach me to draw, will you? I can be a good learner. Let’s go to that two-day art camp together this summer.” Hearing what she said, I was moved to tears, and I knew that Maria would give up time with her family for me.
The big day of the art camp finally arrived. I was so excited to make my way to the camp because I knew with Maria’s company and encouragement, I wouldn’t be lonely or afraid. I attempted to get to know new friends, sharing topics and interests. Maria also presented her best art work that was finished with my assistance. There people loving art learned from each other and helped each. My drawing level was also greatly improved. Maria’s friendship was a cool and refreshing breeze that helped me overcome shyness on this hot summer day.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者和Maria是最好的朋友,作者想要去参加为期两天的美术夏令营,但是由于Maria要和家人外出,所以不能和作者一起。作者在没有Maria陪伴时不敢独立去夏令营,就在作者试图劝说自己放弃时,Maria突然出现,告诉她会和作者一起,并要求作者教她画画。作者最终和Maria一起去了夏令营,克服了害羞。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当玛丽亚说:“你画得很好”时,我跳了起来。”可知,第一段可描写Maria来找作者,让作者教她画画,并同意和作者一起去夏令营。
②由第二段首句内容“艺术营的大日子终于来了。”可知,第二段可描写作者和Maria一起去参加夏令营的经历。
2.续写线索:Maria出现——同意前去——请作者教她画画——作者感动——去夏令营——克服害羞
