But sadly, not everyone around me enjoyed reading as much as I did, and not being able to talk about my favorite hobby with my friends made my reading a lonely experience. In my senior year of high school, I met a channel, “Clau Reads Books” run by Claudia Ramirez Lomeli, who makes book-related content in Spanish, and was introduced to the book world of social media. I could finally hear someone else’s reaction to the stories I like. I love her videos because we prefer the same kind of books. Finally, I followed her on another social networking site, and I learned about the community on it where users blog about their favorite books. I really wanted to be part of this space and seeing others being so interested and supportive like an acceptable community. However, I doubted my ability to express my ideas well because I did not know much about how to make readers interested. Therefore, I started reading blogs on how to start a new account (账户) for guidance and after weeks of researching, I learned about the necessary social media skills. I had to spend time designing small sets and finding natural lighting for photo shoots, and learn how to write reviews while using hashtags (主题标签) in posts to attract other users. My first post was a photo of my favorite book, Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, with my hand’s shadow cast on a page. I also took pictures of several of my favorite sentences from the book and included a few hashtags to increase interaction. Attracting people with similar interest was hard at first. But gradually, it became a piece of cake. The community quickly became a good place for me to talk about my favorite books with people having the same interest. 4. Why did the 12-year-old author feel upset? A. She couldn’t spare time for play. B. No one around her liked reading. C. She couldn’t share her love of reading. D. No friend was fond of her favorite book. 5. What can we learn about Claudia Ramirez Lomeli? A. She comes from Spain. B. She hosts a TV program. C. She taught the author how to blog. D. She led the author to a new book world. 6. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Skills of choosing suitable hashtags. B. The author’s efforts to attract viewers. C. Guidance on registering new accounts. D. The author’s skills for writing emails. 7. What does the author think of attracting people with similar interest now? A. It is easily done. B. It faces new challenges. C. It is mentally challenging. D. It needs topics related to kids. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因周围人不喜欢阅读而感到孤独，后通过社交媒体上的读书频道结识了志同道合的人，并开始学习如何在社交媒体上分享自己的阅读体验，最终成功找到了一个与有相同兴趣的人交流的平台。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“But sadly, not everyone around me enjoyed reading as much as I did, and not being able to talk about my favorite hobby with my friends made my reading a lonely experience. (但遗憾的是，我周围的人并不都喜欢阅读，不能和朋友们谈论我最喜欢的爱好，这让我的阅读成为了一种孤独的体验。)”可知，作者因不能与朋友分享自己对阅读的热爱而感到难过。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“In my senior year of high school, I met a channel, “Clau Reads Books” run by Claudia Ramirez Lomeli, who makes book-related content in Spanish, and was introduced to the book world of social media.  (在我高中最后一年，我遇到了一个由Claudia Ramirez Lomeli经营的名为‘Clau Reads Books’的频道，她用西班牙语制作与书籍相关的内容，并把我介绍给了社交媒体的书籍世界。)”可知，Claudia Ramirez Lomeli引领作者进入了一个新的书籍世界。故选D项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段中“Therefore, I started reading blogs on how to start a new account (账户) for guidance and after weeks of researching, I learned about the necessary social media skills. (因此，我开始阅读关于如何开设新账户以获取指导的博客，经过几周的研究，我学到了必要的社交媒体技能。)”和第二句“I had to spend time designing small sets and finding natural lighting for photo shoots, and learn how to write reviews while using hashtags (主题标签) in posts to attract other users. (我不得不花时间设计小道具，为拍照寻找自然光线，并学习如何在帖子中使用主题标签写评论，以吸引其他用户。)”可知，作者经过不断的研究，学到了必要的社交媒体技能，并且还花时间设计小道具、学习在帖子中使用主题标签等方法吸引其他用户即本段主要讲述了作者为吸引观众所做的努力。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段最后一句“The community quickly became a good place for me to talk about my favorite books with people having the same interest. (这个社区很快成为了我与有相同兴趣的人谈论我最喜欢的书籍的好地方。)”和倒数第二句“But gradually, it became a piece of cake. (但渐渐地，这变得轻而易举。)”可知，刚开始作者觉得很难，但是逐渐的，该社区很快成为了与作者志趣相投的人谈论最喜欢书籍的好地方，同时变得越来越容易即作者现在认为吸引有相同兴趣的人很容易。故选A项。 C At the office or in school, most people sit most of the day. For those hours of long - time sitting, there is now a healthy way to refresh body and mind. According to a study published in Sports & Exercise in January, we can enjoy health all round by walking for five minutes every half hour! The research designed five exercise choices for participants who sat for eight hours. The participants were asked to take a minute’s walk after 30 minutes’ sitting, take a minute’s walk after 60 minutes’ sitting, take a five - minute walk every half hour, or take a five minute walk every hour. The last choice is no walking at all. The researchers then compared the participants’ health. They found that five minutes of walking every half hour was good in blood pressure and blood sugar. Moreover, researchers become happier. “The effects on feeling and tiredness are important. People like to repeat behaviors that make them feel good and that are enjoyable,” the researcher Keith Diaz explained. As those feelings of getting up and moving around were positive, they could let to take more everyday walk. But sitting all day at work has become accepted. To change this, Diaz is trying to explain to workers that moving during the day is good; a healthy worker is a more productive and satisfying boss. When it comes to standing desks, he said, “I’m unsure whether there’s really strong scientific evidence that standing is really better than sitting. I worry people have this false sense that they’re healthy because they’re using this desk, and maybe they’ re not actually that much better.” If you’re sitting and haven’t walked around for a while, get up! Treat yourself to an exercise “snack” and then take another one in a half hour. The benefits of a simple, easy five- minute walk are obvious! 8. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The process of the study. B. The purposes of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The importance of the study. 9. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 4? A. A belief. B. A theory. C. A method. D. A phenomenon.(现象) 10. Which word best is Diaz’s attitude to the benefits of standing desks? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Worrying. D. Confident. 11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To prove. B. To compare. C. To suggest. D. To summarize. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了长时间坐着工作和学习对健康的负面影响，并引用了一项研究，该研究表明，每半小时走动五分钟可以有效改善血压和血糖水平，并使人心情愉悦。同时，文章也提到了站立办公桌的争议，专家对其益处表示怀疑，并鼓励人们通过简单的走动来改善健康状况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The research designed five exercise choices for participants who sat for eight hours.(这项研究为连续坐了八个小时的参与者设计了五种锻炼方式。)”及最后一句“The researchers then compared the participants’ health.(然后，研究人员比较了参与者的健康状况。)”可知，本段主要讲述了研究的过程，即研究人员为久坐者设计了五种运动方式，并比较了参与者的健康状况。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“But sitting all day at work has become accepted. (但是整天坐着工作已经被人们接受了。)”，以及划线词后面内容“…, Diaz is trying to explain to workers that moving during the day is good; a healthy worker is a more productive and satisfying boss.( Diaz正试图向工人们解释，白天活动是好的；一个健康的工人是一个更有生产力和更令人满意的老板。)”可知，整天坐着工作已经被人们接受了，为了改变这个现象，Diaz让工人们白天活动起来，故此处“this”指的是上文提到的“整天坐着工作已经被人们接受了”这一现象。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““I’m unsure whether there’s really strong scientific evidence that standing is really better than sitting. I worry people have this false sense that they’re healthy because they’re using this desk, and maybe they’ re not actually that much better.”(‘我不确定是否有强有力的科学证据表明站立真的比坐着好。我担心人们有一种错误的观念，认为他们因为使用这种桌子而健康，但实际上他们可能并没有好多少。’)”可知，Diaz不确定是否有强有力的科学证据表明站立真的比坐着好即Diaz对站立办公桌的益处表示怀疑。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you’re sitting and haven’t walked around for a while, get up! Treat yourself to an exercise “snack” and then take another one in a half hour. The benefits of a simple, easy five- minute walk are obvious! (如果你坐着有一段时间没有走动了，那就站起来吧！让自己享受一次运动“小吃”，然后每半小时再来一次。简单轻松的五分钟散步的好处是显而易见的！)”可知，本段主要是在建议人们多走动，享受运动带来的好处。故选C项。 D When drones (无人机) can first be widely found around 15 years ago, it was common to find technology people painting pictures of how they were soon going to change the world. However, if you look up into the largely empty sky, you can see that hasn’t happened yet. Sure, drones are useful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we’re a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground. In 2016, Amazon announced it had completed its first ever aerial delivery(运送). In a video, we saw an Amazon “Prime Air” drone pick up a parcel and fly it across the countryside landing in the buyer’s garden, dropping the parcel, and then returning to its home base. But Amazon still hasn’t completed its second drone delivery. In fact, it has reportedly narrowed the drone program. So, will drone delivery ever be a thing? There are some signs of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa. Since 2016, rural (偏远的) hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular medical supplies by drone because of a company called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, because of the speed at which blood can be delivered in a country with a poorly developed road network. So could we ever expect such a system here? Unfortunately, there’s a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don’t have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones often landing around the neighborhood. Another fact is that British cities may still have safety worries about having drones carrying things over our heads. That’s why I wonder if the real drone future could be walking along the ground. For a few years, “delivery robots” with wheels have been walking on the roads. So perhaps we’re not so far away from a drone delivery future, but whether it is coming true might be a little bit more down to earth. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Drones are widely used in daily life. B. Drones have made delivery faster. C. Drones are designed to take aerial photos. D. Drones haven’t changed the world as expected. 13. Why does the writer mention Zipline’s drone delivery? A. To explain the process of drone delivery. B. To stress the benefits brought by drone delivery. C. To discuss the possibility of a drone delivery future. D. To show its advantages over Amazon’s drone delivery. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The safety about drones. B. The ways that British people do to drone delivery. C. The differences between African countries and Britain. D. The reasons why drone delivery isn’t suitable for Britain. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Drone Delivery Future: Pie in the Sky B. A Bright Future for Drone Delivery C. Change the World with Drones D. Drone Usages at Risk Worldwide 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了无人机配送的未来可能性。尽管多年前人们就预测无人机将改变世界，特别是在配送领域，但实际情况是无人机配送并未如预期般广泛实现。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“However, if you look up into the largely empty sky, you can see that hasn’t happened yet.( 然而，如果你抬头看看大部分空旷的天空，你会发现这还没有发生)”和第二段“Sure, drones are useful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we’re a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground.( 当然，无人机对于拍摄空中照片很有用，但我们离空中高速公路还很远，那里挤满了以地面上几乎不可能的速度携带包裹的无人机)”可知，虽然无人机已经存在已久，但是抬头看看天空并没有出现无人机配送包裹的场面。由此推知，无人机并没有像预期的那样改变世界。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“So, will drone delivery ever be a thing? There are some signs of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa.(那么，无人机配送会成为现实吗？无人机配送未来可能实现的迹象不在英国，而在非洲)”以及“Since 2016, rural (偏远的) hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular medical supplies by drone because of a company called Zipline.( 自2016年以来，卢旺达的农村医院一直通过一家名为Zipline的公司用无人机接收定期的医疗用品)”可知，本段主要阐述了人机配送会成为现实的迹象是在非洲而不是在英国，通过列举Zipline的无人机配送的例子是为了强调未来无人机的实现是有可能的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。由第五段“Unfortunately, there’s a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don’t have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones often landing around the neighborhood. Another fact is that British cities may still have safety worries about having drones carrying things over our heads.( 不幸的是，非洲农村和人口稠密的英国之间存在很大差异。英国人的房子没有大花园可以降落，也没有人希望周围经常有嘈杂的大型无人机降落。另一个事实是，英国城市可能仍然担心无人机在我们头顶携带物品的安全问题)”可知，本段主要讲述了英国人的房子没有大花园可以降落，以及没有人希望有嘈杂的声音（无人机降落的嘈杂声音）以及英国人仍然担心无人机在头顶携带物品的安全问题，故本段主要讲述的是无人机配送在英国不适合的原因。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“However, if you look up into the largely empty sky, you can see that hasn’t happened yet.(然而，如果你抬头看看大部分空旷的天空，你会发现这还没有发生)”和第二段“Sure, drones are useful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we’re a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground.( 当然，无人机对于拍摄空中照片很有用，但我们离空中高速公路还很远，那里挤满了以地面上几乎不可能的速度携带包裹的无人机)”以及最后一段“So perhaps we’re not so far away from a drone delivery future, but whether it is coming true might be a little bit more down to earth.( 所以，也许我们离无人机配送的未来并不遥远，但它是否能实现可能更贴近现实)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了无人机配送虽然被期待已久，但现实中仍面临诸多挑战，实现起来并不容易，就像“空中楼阁”一样。A项“Drone Delivery Future: Pie in the Sky(无人机配送未来：空中楼阁)”最符合文章主旨，可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose Courses for High School Freshmen Welcome to the exciting world of high school!

But sadly, not everyone around me enjoyed reading as much as I did, and not being able to talk about my favorite hobby with my friends made my reading a lonely experience. In my senior year of high school, I met a channel, “Clau Reads Books” run by Claudia Ramirez Lomeli, who makes book-related content in Spanish, and was introduced to the book world of social media. I could finally hear someone else’s reaction to the stories I like. I love her videos because we prefer the same kind of books. Finally, I followed her on another social networking site, and I learned about the community on it where users blog about their favorite books. I really wanted to be part of this space and seeing others being so interested and supportive like an acceptable community. However, I doubted my ability to express my ideas well because I did not know much about how to make readers interested. Therefore, I started reading blogs on how to start a new account (账户) for guidance and after weeks of researching, I learned about the necessary social media skills. I had to spend time designing small sets and finding natural lighting for photo shoots, and learn how to write reviews while using hashtags (主题标签) in posts to attract other users. My first post was a photo of my favorite book, Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, with my hand’s shadow cast on a page. I also took pictures of several of my favorite sentences from the book and included a few hashtags to increase interaction. Attracting people with similar interest was hard at first. But gradually, it became a piece of cake. The community quickly became a good place for me to talk about my favorite books with people having the same interest. 4. Why did the 12-year-old author feel upset? A. She couldn’t spare time for play. B. No one around her liked reading. C. She couldn’t share her love of reading. D. No friend was fond of her favorite book. 5. What can we learn about Claudia Ramirez Lomeli? A. She comes from Spain. B. She hosts a TV program. C. She taught the author how to blog. D. She led the author to a new book world. 6. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. Skills of choosing suitable hashtags. B. The author’s efforts to attract viewers. C. Guidance on registering new accounts. D. The author’s skills for writing emails. 7. What does the author think of attracting people with similar interest now? A. It is easily done. B. It faces new challenges. C. It is mentally challenging. D. It needs topics related to kids. C At the office or in school, most people sit most of the day. For those hours of long - time sitting, there is now a healthy way to refresh body and mind. According to a study published in Sports & Exercise in January, we can enjoy health all round by walking for five minutes every half hour! The research designed five exercise choices for participants who sat for eight hours. The participants were asked to take a minute’s walk after 30 minutes’ sitting take a minute’s walk after 60 minutes’ sitting, take a five - minute walk every half hour, or take a five minute walk every hour. The last choice is no walking at all. The researchers then compared the participants’ health. They found that five minutes of walking every half hour was good in blood pressure and blood sugar. Moreover, researchers become happier. “The effects on feeling and tiredness are important. People like to repeat behaviors that make them feel good and that are enjoyable,” the researcher Keith Diaz explained. As those feelings of getting up and moving around were positive, they could let to take more everyday walk. But sitting all day at work has become accepted. To change this, Diaz is trying to explain to workers that moving during the day is good; a healthy worker is a more productive and satisfying boss. When it comes to standing desks, he said, “I’m unsure whether there’s really strong scientific evidence that standing is really better than sitting. I worry people have this false sense that they’re healthy because they’re using this desk, and maybe they’ re not actually that much better.” If you’re sitting and haven’t walked around for a while, get up! Treat yourself to an exercise “snack” and then take another one in a half hour. The benefits of a simple, easy five- minute walk are obvious! 8. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The process of the study. B. The purposes of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The importance of the study. 9. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in paragraph 4? A. A belief. B. A theory. C. A method. D. A phenomenon.(现象) 10. Which word best is Diaz’s attitude to the benefits of standing desks? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Worrying. D. Confident. 11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To prove. B. To compare. C. To suggest. D. To summarize. D When drones (无人机) can first be widely found around 15 years ago, it was common to find technology people painting pictures of how they were soon going to change the world. However, if you look up into the largely empty sky, you can see that hasn’t happened yet. Sure, drones are useful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we’re a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground. In 2016, Amazon announced it had completed its first ever aerial delivery(运送). In a video, we saw an Amazon “Prime Air” drone pick up a parcel and fly it across the countryside landing in the buyer’s garden, dropping the parcel, and then returning to its home base. But Amazon still hasn’t completed its second drone delivery. In fact, it has reportedly narrowed the drone program. So, will drone delivery ever be a thing? There are some signs of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa. Since 2016, rural (偏远的) hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular medical supplies by drone because of a company called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, because of the speed at which blood can be delivered in a country with a poorly developed road network. So could we ever expect such a system here? Unfortunately, there’s a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don’t have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones often landing around the neighborhood. Another fact is that British cities may still have safety worries about having drones carrying things over our heads. That’s why I wonder if the real drone future could be walking along the ground. For a few years, “delivery robots” with wheels have been walking on the roads. So perhaps we’re not so far away from a drone delivery future, but whether it is coming true might be a little bit more down to earth. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Drones are widely used in daily life. B. Drones have made delivery faster. C. Drones are designed to take aerial photos. D. Drones haven’t changed the world as expected. 13. Why does the writer mention Zipline’s drone delivery? A. To explain the process of drone delivery. B. To stress the benefits brought by drone delivery. C. To discuss the possibility of a drone delivery future. D. To show its advantages over Amazon’s drone delivery. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The safety about drones. B. The ways that British people do to drone delivery. C. The differences between African countries and Britain. D. The reasons why drone delivery isn’t suitable for Britain. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Drone Delivery Future: Pie in the Sky B. A Bright Future for Drone Delivery C. Change the World with Drones D. Drone Usages at Risk Worldwide 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 to Choose Courses for High School Freshmen Welcome to the exciting world of high school!
