A heatwave has hit many countries in Europe, pushing temperatures over 40℃. A heatwave is a long period of unusually hot weather. The heat is expected to continue until the end of July.
The Italian Island of Sardinia reached 46℃ on 18 July. The Italy government has asked people to dress in linen(a thin, light material) and to stay indoors between 10 am and 6 pm. The government has asked people to drink plenty of water but avoid alcohol, fizzy drinks and coffee, which can make you feel thirstier. In Rome, the country’s capital, people aged over 70can go to swimming pools for free to help them keep cool.
Wildfires have broken out in many places. In Greece, which recorded 41℃ on 18 July, fires near the capital, Athens, have destroyed huge areas of forest and thousands of people have been moved to safety. Heatwaves can make fires worse because hot weather dries plants, which fuel the fires.
In the US, temperatures in Death Valley, California, hit 53℃ on 18 July, close to the hottest ever recorded on Earth. On 16 July, the US National Weather Service issued warnings in parts of the country, affecting more than 80 million people.
Despite the high temperatures in many European countries, the UK is not experiencing a heatwave. This is because a different weather pattern has brought rain and lower temperatures to the UK.
The heatwave in Europe is being caused by a weather pattern that has stopped the air from moving very much. That means the hot, dry weather has got stuck and temperatures have kept rising. Earth is also experiencing a natural climate pattern called El Nino(厄尔尼诺), which causes the water in the eastern Pacific Ocean to warm up more than usual. This can lead to hot weather around the world. Temperatures in some parts of Europe were expected to fall on 20 July.
4. What suggestion did the Italian government give to avoid high temperatures?
A. Provide free swimming pools to keep young people cool.
B. Wear thick clothes to prevent the invasion of heat.
C. Drink enough amounts of coffee to keep the mind clear.
D. Don’t go outdoors during high temperature periods.
5. What do we know about the wildfires in Greece?
A. The fires were mainly caused by people.
B. The heatwaves fueled the spread of wildfires.
C. The fires had already killed a thousand people.
D. The entire forest has been destroyed into ruins.
6. What prevented the UK from experiencing the heatwaves of Europe?
A. Different weather patterns. B. Different geographic locations.
C. Global El Nino phenomenon. D. The effect of the Pacific Ocean.
7. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The hottest city on record in the world has finally emerged.
B. The hot weather caused by heatwaves is coming to an end.
C. Heatwaves swept across Europe and America except the UK.
D. The El Nino phenomenon led to the global high temperatures.

This year at the Olympic Games in Rio, you might stumble across a pretty interesting sight outside of the various stadiums holding competitions around the city.
Meet Chen Guanming, a 60-year-old Chinese farmer who pedaled his rickshaw (人力车) all the way from China to Rio. He calls himself “Olympic madman,” and surely he deserves it: this is the third Olympic Games he rode to. Brazilians welcomed him with the best friendship and a splendid show after he arrived in Rio a week earlier.
Seventeen years ago, he embarked the crazy adventure as an Olympics chaser: he toured around China before attending the Beijing Olympics in 2008, then made it to London in 2012, and now he’s in Rio. He plans to finish his global journey in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympics.
He doesn’t really have money, but strangers he met on the road have been pouring support to him: a heartfelt encouragement, a warm meal, or a lift up a hill — the rickshaw, his good buddy, carries all his luggage and weighs as heavy as 400 pounds.
Zsofia Korodi, a Hungarian living in London, set up a Facebook fan page after being “inspired by his actions,” so that supporters keep track of him. That way his journeys are pieced together, and people call out the next town to look out and take care of him. When there’s water to cross, people he met fly him over, and he will patiently wait for the rickshaw to arrive by ship.
Chen spent two years, traveled almost 40,000 miles to get to the London Olympics. For Rio, he hopped a plane to Canada and then made his way from Canada through the US, South America to Rio. Chen said he does it all to enhance the Olympic spirit. “My biggest hope is to encourage the vulnerable, the weak, and those who are afraid of challenges.”
In Rio, he’s apparently becoming an Olympic celebrity— a sportsman that compete out of the fields, with himself and gets stopped wherever he goes to take pictures. Even though he couldn’t watch the games at the scene, he’s completely happy by helping to pick trash and clean the surrounding areas of the stadiums. That’s what the Olympics is about. “It is to challenge the boundaries, to compete in a friendly manner, and to win the honor of the higher calling.” He said.
See you in Japan in 2020, Mr. Chen!

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.
The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
12. Many people go to school for an education. But some others go to school for .
A. enjoying themselves B. learning subjects
C. learning a skill D. making a living
13. A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of .
A. learning by themselves B. making a living
C. reading and thinking D. studying all the subjects
14. Using a formula in working out a maths problem is memorizing it.
A. much easier than B. more difficult than
C. as easy as D. as difficult as
15. The scientists were successful because .
A. they read books that were not taught at school B. they worked all their lives
C. they wasted not a single moment D. they knew how to use their brains

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.
Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said. “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”
In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said. “No one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 102. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action.
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。
Paragraph 1
The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
I’m still going to school.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.
The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
12. Many people go to school for an education. But some others go to school for .
A. enjoying themselves B. learning subjects
C. learning a skill D. making a living
13. A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of .
A. learning by themselves B. making a living
C. reading and thinking D. studying all the subjects
14. Using a formula in working out a maths problem is memorizing it.
A. much easier than B. more difficult than
C. as easy as D. as difficult as
15. The scientists were successful because .
A. they read books that were not taught at school B. they worked all their lives
C. they wasted not a single moment D. they knew how to use their brains
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】试题分析:本文是一篇说明文,距离说明了自学对于成功的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. ”(还有一些人上学是为了学习一项技能,以便谋生)可知,还有一些人上学是为了学习一项技能,故C正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn.”(老师的工作是教学生如何学习)可知,老师的任务是教会学生如何学习,即:培养学生自学的能力,故A正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. ”(学习历史中的某个事实或数学中的公式通常很容易。但是用公式解数学题很难)可知,使用公式解决问题比记忆事实更困难,故B正确。
【15题详解】
.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“ Above all, they knew how to use their brains.”(最重要的是,他们知道如何运用他们的大脑)可知,那些科学家成功的关键在于他们知道如何动脑。故D正确。
考点:考查句意类短文阅读
点评:文章讲述了教育的本质不是教会学生记忆事实,而是让他们学会如何学习,如何思考,并举了很多科学家的例子来说明这个道理。集中考查了细节题,要求学生抓住题干文字信息,采用针对性方法进行阅读,因为这类题的答案在文章中可以直接找到。

【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了作为检查学生学习成果的一种方式,许多学校和科目都会进行口试,并给学生们提供了一些备考建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The oral exam (口试) is a long-held tradition in many schools and subjects.(口试是许多学校和学科的长期传统。)”以及下文的“Students must then answer properly(然后学生们必须正确地回答)”可知,空格前引出了口试,空格后要求学生们正确回答。所以A选项“它以口头形式向学生提出问题。”符合题意,选项中的questions“问题”呼应了下文的answer“回答”,选项中的in spoken form“以口头形式”符合上文说的oral exam“口试”。故选A。
【17题详解】
根据下文的“As part of the completion of a program at the undergraduate or graduate levels, students might need to prove their knowledge and understanding of a subject area. Many science majors finish Bachelor’s studies with oral exams, or a particular program may require oral and written exams that show how a student has taken in all the materials learned in a four-year period.(作为完成本科或研究生课程的一部分,学生可能需要证明他们对某一学科领域的知识和理解。许多理科专业的学生都是通过口试来完成学士学位学习的,或者某个专业可能需要通过口试和笔试来证明学生在四年期间对学习材料吸收的怎么样。)”可知,这一段是在举例说明许多学校的学生需要通过口试来证明他们的学习情况。该题放在句首,用来引出整段内容,所以F选项“在大学里有很多使用口试的例子。”符合题意。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Usually study guides are available for these exams.(通常这些考试都有学习指南。)”可知,空格前提到针对于口试有学习指南,使学生们可以对于考试有所准备,所以G选项“因此,有准备的学生往往不会对被问到的问题感到惊讶。”与前句构成因果关系,符合题意。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“One valuable tip for students to succeed is to practice before the exam.(学生要想成功,一个很重要的建议就是考前练习。)”和根据下文“But by answering questions classmates or family ask them students can do as many practices as possible.(但是通过回答同学或家人问他们的问题,学生可以做尽可能多的练习。)”可知,空格前建议学生们提前练习,空格后说学生们应该尽可能多地练习,且空格与其后的句子为转折关系,所以C选项“他们可能无法预测所有的问题。”符合题意,告诉学生们虽然无法预测到所有的问题,但也要尽可能多地练习。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“When waiting outside the test room, taking a deep breath and reminding themselves that the oral exam is a nice way to show off how much knowledge has been learned from teachers can help overcome stressful moments. Also, any other relaxation techniques that help can be used.(在考场外等候时,做个深呼吸,提醒自己口试是炫耀自己从老师那里学到了多少知识的好方法,这有助于克服紧张时刻。此外,任何有帮助的其他的放松技巧都可以使用。)”可知,空格后是在告诉学生们克服口试紧张的方法,所以空格处应该提到口试紧张的坏处,之后告诉学生们怎么去克服口试紧张。E选项“紧张甚至会让最聪明的学生陷入困境。”符合题意。故选E。

考查冠词。句意:作为一个超过200人的广场舞团队的队长,谭建昌每天都很忙。a busy schedule为固定表达,表示“日程安排很紧”,所以应填a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意:看着谭跳舞,很难相信她已经70岁了。固定句型:it is+adj.+ to do sth.表示“做某事……”,句中it作形式主语,真正的主语为后面的动词不定式,所以应填it。故填it。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.
Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said. “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”
In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said. “No one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 102. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action.
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。
Paragraph 1
The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
I’m still going to school.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me. Through chatting, I learned that they had all been longing to read and write but never had the chance to go to school. As the bell rang, in came the teacher, a woman well past forty. After a warm and brief greeting, we started our lesson. First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times, on one laughed at me. Everyone helped each out with open-hearted enjoyment.
Paragraph 2
I’m still going to school. Though faced with the most challenging event of my life, I’m full of courage and confidence. With the generous help of my teacher, friends and my children, I have made huge progress in my study. Now I’m never shy about admitting the truth that once I was not able to read and write at all. Besides, I’m eager to encourage more elderly people to attend the adult education classes, because it’s never too late to learn.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者由于小时候生活贫穷,没有被送去上学读书,成年后养家艰辛也没有时间学习读书和写字,所以似乎一辈子都要隐瞒自己没有读过书的事实。后来,作者去学习了成人教育课程。在那里,作者和同龄人一起学习,收获了进步,信心和勇气。这让作者意识到:活到老,学到老。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me.(这个年轻人开车把我带到一座巨大的建筑前,把我带进一间宽敞的教室,里面挤满了像我这样的老人。)”可知,第一段可描写作者进入教室后的感受和老师教授的课程。
②由第二段首句内容“I’m still going to school.(我还在上学。)”可知,第二段可描写作者为什么还在坚持上学,获得的益处和激励。
2.续写线索:进教室后与人交流——介绍老师——学习内容——课后感受——上学后的感想——感慨自己的进步——鼓励其他人
