C 【解析】 【原文】M: Good morning, everybody. Glad to meet you here. I’d like to share my experience as a sports journalist with all of you. A few years ago, my newspaper sent me to China to report on the Olympic Games in Beijing. Everywhere I went I was questioned by journalism students: How much money did I earn? How many countries had I visited? Had I met David Beckham? In China, sports reporting is seen as a dream job and Chinese students are fascinated by foreign sports reporters. Several years later I visited China again to write about a major motor race in Shanghai. At the track I saw one of those former students, Li Jie. He was working for one of China’s largest news agencies. I asked him about his life as a sports writer. He replied that sometimes it was wonderful. But there was a lot of travel, a lot of stress and sometimes sports people were not very helpful. Li had discovered one of the hard truths about life as a sports writer. You might think all you need are writing skills and knowledge of sports. These are certainly important, but you also need to be prepared for many problems. On that visit to Shanghai for example, the journey from my hotel to the race-track took at least three hours. For four days, I followed racing drivers and organizers around but they were too busy to talk to me. When I finally got back to my hotel at night, everything, including the restaurant, was closed. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Theme Parks in Florida Here are four of the best theme parks in Florida so you can start planning your next trip. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. 21. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay? A.

But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school. When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself. Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry. Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.” 24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability? A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading. C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory. 25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study? A. His mother. B. His sister. C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta? A. His future life. B. His achievements. C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience. 27. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story? A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success. C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Ghunta的成长经历，特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程，展现了个人奋斗和老师的帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books.(他不仅小时候被关在家里不去上学，而且也没有机会接触到书)”可知，家庭环境的原因造成了Ghunta较差的阅读能力。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction.(在她的指导下，Ghunta的阅读能力终于开始提高。他开始觉得更自信了。“她给我留下了识字的礼物，”他说，“以及作为人的价值。”他的生活有了新的方向)”可知，一位年轻老师的激励使Ghunta阅读水平提高，生活也有了新方向。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.(他从小学毕业时获得了许多学术奖项，其中包括“阅读进步最大”奖。他上了大学。如今，他是两本关于克服童年困难经历的儿童书籍的作者。他现在正在写他的第一部长篇诗集)”可知，第五段主要概括了Ghunta的成就。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”(Ghunta说：“我希望她能看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我如何将对她的记忆——希望和光明——带在身边，以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉。”)”结合本文叙述了Ghunta从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书作家和获奖诗人的转变过程。在此期间一个年轻老师的出现改变了Ghunta的人生方向，由此可见，教师的信念照亮学生成长之路。故选D。 C Sensory-based food education given to 3 — 5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games. The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items. The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out the dietary gap between families. “Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health. Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial to health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood. 28. What is the main focus of the new study? A. The relation between diet and health. B. The impact of family on food choices. C. The role of kindergartens in food education. D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education. 29. How did the researchers conduct their research? A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases. C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data. 30. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update. 31. What’s Kähkönen’s attitude towards the Sapere method? A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究显示，在幼儿园对3到5岁的孩子进行以感官为基础的食物教育会增强他们选择蔬菜和水果的意愿。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things.(研究人员使用了基于感官的食物教育方法Sapere，该方法利用了儿童在学习新事物时依赖所有五种感官的自然方式)”可知，这项新研究的主要焦点是Sapere在食品教育中的有效性。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups.(研究人员比较了不同幼儿园组的孩子)”可知，研究者使用对比的方式进行研究。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit.(研究结果表明，以感官为基础的食物教育增加了孩子们选择蔬菜和水果的意愿，尤其是在父母受教育程度较低的孩子中。平均而言，父母受教育程度较低的孩子往往吃较少的蔬菜和水果)”以及划线词上文“ This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help(这就是幼儿园的饮食教育如何帮助……)”可知，食物教育在提高儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿上起着重要的作用。所以幼儿园的食物教育可以帮助缩小不同家庭间孩子在饮食习惯上的差异。故画线词与Narrow意思最为接近，表示“缩小”。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health. (“另一个有趣的发现是，Sapere食品教育方法似乎也改善了幼儿园群体的饮食氛围。这鼓励孩子们在他们的盘子里选择更多样化的食物，”健康专家Kähkönen解释说)”可推断，Kähkönen对Sapere方法持“支持”的态度。故选C。 D Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo. They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter, to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter. About 98% of a red panda’s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive — around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda’s area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining. Natural disasters such as landslides, floods; heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitats. Forest fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering (including the death of the plant) have similarly had effects on the red panda’s habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat. Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar. The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers, train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas, and work with villagers to establish protected areas. The WWF is also working to protect red pandas and their habitats. Because more than a third of the potential habitat is in Nepal, the group works with yak herders (牦牛牧民) and other groups there to lower their effect on the red panda’s habitat. 32. Why is it challenging for red pandas to find enough food? A. Bamboo is not good enough. B. They are not active hunters. C. Their habitats are becoming smaller. D. There is a lack of water in their habitat. 33. What do the data in paragraph 4 mainly show? A. Global efforts to protect red pandas. B. Serious situations faced by red pandas. C. India’s deep protection of rare wildlife. D. China’s advantage in keeping red pandas. 34. What does the Red Panda Network do to protect red pandas? A. Force yak herders to move away. B. Advocate people to adopt them. C. Cooperate with local experts to do research. D Work with communities to build wildlife feeding centers. 35. What’s a suitable title for this text? A. The Key Points of Red Pandas’ Survival. B. The Influence of Natural Disasters on Bamboo. C. The Threat and Protection of Red Pandas. D. The Reason for the Disappearance of Bamboo. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是红熊猫面对的严峻形式以及各个国家和组织对它的保护 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“About 98% of a red panda’s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive — around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. (大约98%的红熊猫的食物是竹子。它们需要大量的水才能生存——每天大约2公斤。然而，由于红熊猫的栖息地越来越小，找到足够的竹子变得很困难。)”可知，由于红熊猫的栖息地越来越小，使得它们找到竹子变得很困难。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. (虽然红熊猫濒临灭绝，但人们正在采取措施拯救这个物种及其栖息地。)”可知，人们现在正在采取措施拯救濒临灭绝的红熊猫及其栖息地，结合下文的“According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar. (据世界自然保护联盟称，中国有46个保护区，覆盖了该国约65%的物种栖息地。印度至少有19个保护区，不丹有5个，缅甸有3个。)”可知，此处列举的数据显示了世界各地为保护红熊猫所付出的努力。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers, train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas, and work with villagers to establish protected areas. (他们与当地社区团体合作建立野生动物喂养中心，培训森林保护者提高对红熊猫的认识，并与村民合作建立保护区。)”可知，Red Panda Network通过与当地社群合作建立野生动物饲养中心来保护红熊猫。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda’s area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining. (然而，由于红熊猫的栖息地越来越小，找到足够的竹子变得很困难。当人们搬到红熊猫的栖息地时，他们会为了住房、商业开发、农业和采矿而砍伐森林。)”以及第三段中的“Natural disasters such as landslides, floods; heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitats. ( 山体滑坡、洪水等自然灾害；大雪和暴雨也破坏了它们的栖息地。)”可知，由于人类的行为和自然灾害导致了红熊猫的栖息地减少，使得它们找到足够的竹子都很难；结合第四段中的“Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. ( 虽然红熊猫濒临灭绝，但人们正在采取措施拯救这个物种及其栖息地。)”以及下文中列举的数据和尾段中的“The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. (红熊猫网络是一个保护红熊猫及其栖息地的非营利组织。)”可知，针对人类行为和自然灾难导致红熊猫栖息地减少的情况，世界各地以及一些非营利性组织为保护红熊猫开始采取措施，综合以上信息可知，本文主要介绍的是红熊猫面对的严峻形式以及各个国家和组织对它的保护，所以题目“红熊猫的威胁及保护”概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选C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。 Making decisions is a complex skill.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以帮助到犹豫不决的人们下决心的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“So you might feel too worried about your choices and experience a constant sense of indecision.( 因此，你可能会对自己的选择感到过于担忧，并经常感到优柔寡断)”及下文给出了四个帮助解决做决定困难问题的建议可知，该空应该是指出对于此种担忧有解决办法的。由此可知，G. Let’s explore a set of guidelines that help you simplify the process(让我们探索一组帮助您简化该过程的指导方针)承上启下，guidelines呼应下面小标题，simplify呼应上文段首的complex。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform. Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama?(想象一下你正在看一个流媒体平台。你应该看这部动作喜剧还是那部爱情剧？)”可知，该空应该是一个选择疑问句，是对于平台播放节目的选择。由此可知，C. Should you start with a show or just a movie(你应该从一场演出开始，还是只看一部电影)符合语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据小标题Take time but set a deadline及下文“When someone won’t give you time, they might be too interested in you making a bad choice. So, it’s important to defend your time to make a decision.(当有人不给你充足时间时，他们可能希望你做出错误的选择。所以，保护你的时间来做决定是很重要的)”可知，本段主要讲做决定前必须有足够的时间去思考，不能仓促。由此可知，D. Being pressured into a decision is often a red flag(在外界压力下做出决定通常是一个危险信号)符合语境，劝诫不要在别人催促情况下仓促决定。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“A good rule for decisions is to try and talk things through with other people.(做决定的一个好规则是试着和其他人讨论事情)”及下文“After all, you don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who cheer blindly on every option.(毕竟，你不会想去找那些总是让你泄气的人，或者那些对每个选择都盲目欢呼的人)”可知，此处表达做决定前可以找人商量，但是人选要慎重，应该选择可靠的人。由此可知，E. However, it’s important to find someone you can trust(然而，找到一个你可以信任的人是很重要的)符合语境。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Remember you can always change your mind and go after something else.(记住，你可以随时改变主意，去追求别的东西)”及下文“But usually it’s not impossible. So give yourself permission to change your mind later if what you chose doesn’t work out.(但通常也不是不可能。所以，如果你的选择不成功，允许自己稍后改变主意)”可知，上一句说做决定时要知道，什么都不是永恒的，做了决定，不合适就可以改；下一句说改变即使很难但也不是不可能，允许自己对效果不好的决定作出改变，那么做决定时就不会太艰难。由此可知，B. Sure, it can be difficult to change course(当然，改变航向可能很难)承上启下，呼应上文的change，呼应however后面的not impossible，很难但却不是不可能。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My family spend our Sunday evenings writing postcards to put smiles on the faces of people living with cancer.

In the early 19th century, when ___57___ outbreak of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died. But neither its cause, nor its cure was understood. A British doctor, John Snow, wanted to solve the problem and he knew that cholera would not be controlled unless its cause was found. In general, there were two contradictory theories ___58___ explained how cholera spread. The first suggested that bad air caused the disease. The second was that cholera was caused by an ___59___ (infect) from germs in food or water. John Snow thought that the second theory was correct but he needed proof. So when another outbreak of cholera hit London ___60___ 1854, he began to investigate. Later, with all the evidence he ___61___ (gather), John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Therefore, he had the handle of the pump ___62___ (remove) so that it couldn’t be used. Through his intervention, the disease was stopped in its tracks. What is more, John Snow found that some ___63___ (company) sold water from the River Thames that ___64___ (pollute) by raw waste. The people who drank this water were much more likely _____65_____ (get) cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water. Through John Snow’s efforts, the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease. 【答案】56. feared##fearful 57. an 58. which##that 59. infection 60. in 61. gathered##had gathered 62 removed 63. companies 64. was polluted 65. to get 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国医生约翰如何通过调查和研究，确定了霍乱的传播途径，并采取措施成功阻止了疾病的蔓延。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：霍乱曾经是世界上最令人害怕的疾病之一。设空处需填形容词作定语，fear的形容词是feared或fearful作定语，修饰diseases。故填feared/fearful。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在19世纪早期，当欧洲爆发霍乱时，数百万人死亡。此处outbreak意为“（疾病等的）突然爆发”，是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且outbreak发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。 【58题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：一般来说，有两种相互矛盾的理论解释了霍乱是如何传播的。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是two contradictory theories，指物，在从句中作主语，需用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。 【59题详解】 考查名词。句意：第二种说法是霍乱是由食物或水中的细菌引起的感染。设空处需填名词infection，作介词by的宾语，表示“感染”。故填infection。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：因此，当1854年伦敦再次爆发霍乱时，他开始进行调查。设空处表示“在1854年”，应用介词in，表示在某个时间段内。故填in。 【61题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：后来，凭借他所收集的所有证据，约翰能够宣布水泵里的水携带了霍乱病菌。设空处是定语从句的谓语动词，从句中省略了关系代词that，先行词是all the evidence，在从句中作动词gather的宾语，根据主句时态可知，从句应用一般过去时或过去完成时，此处强调“收集”这一动作发生在主句谓语动词“宣布”之前，所以应用过去完成时，即had gathered；也可用一般过去时，表示过去发生的动作，即gathered。故填gathered/had gathered。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，他把水泵的把手拆掉，这样就不能用了。句中构成have sth done的结构，设空处需填非谓语动词作宾语补足语，remove和宾语the handle of the pump之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，需用过去分词形式removed作宾语补足语。故填removed。 【63题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：此外，约翰还发现一些公司出售来自泰晤士河的水，这些水被原生废物污染了。some修饰可数名词复数或不可数名词，此处表示“一些公司”，应用可数名词复数companies。故填companies。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意同上。设空处是定语从句的谓语动词， that指代前文的water，先行词water和动词pollute之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且根据从句时态可知，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是单数名词，be动词用was。故填was polluted。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：喝这种水的人比喝纯净水或开水的人更容易感染霍乱。固定短语be likely to do sth.意为“可能做某事”。故填to get。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你市博物馆将举办主题为“面向未来”的科技展。请给你校的留学生 Robert写封邮件，邀请他参加。内容包括： 1. 展览的时间、地点; 2. 展览的内容; 3. 期待参加。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Robert, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Robert, Hearing that you are interested in future technology, I’m writing to invite you to the Facing the Future tech exhibition at our city museum this Saturday.

He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.” After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了麦克斯在家里做的每一件小事都受到父母的责备，这使他很沮丧，但是却因为父母教导的一个小行为，通过了面试。让麦克斯明白了父母的苦心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“轮到麦克斯接受面试了”可知，第一段可描写麦克斯通过面试，面试官说明原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“面试结束后，麦克斯回到家，拥抱了他的父母”可知，第二段可描写麦克斯明白了父母的苦心，道歉并感谢父母。 2.续写线索：麦克斯面试——麦克斯通过面试——得知原因——回家道歉——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②道歉：apologize/make an apology ③看重：evaluate/value 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show gratitude to ②聪明：smart/clever 【点睛】[高分句型1] We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you.

But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school. When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had no access to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself. Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry. Ghunta said, “I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope and the light — with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.” 24. What caused Ghunta’s poor reading ability? A. Limited family resources. B. Early disinterest in reading. C. Lacking enough attention. D. Terrible memory. 25. Who inspired Ghunta greatly in his study? A. His mother. B. His sister. C. A young teacher. D. Other struggling students. 26. What does paragraph 5 mainly say about Ghunta? A. His future life. B. His achievements. C. His family background. D. His self-taught experience. 27. Which of the following can best describe Ghunta’s story? A. Reading helps people find happiness. B. Direction is the key to success. C. Poverty contributes to a person’s success. D. A teacher’s belief lights a student’s path. C Sensory-based food education given to 3 — 5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children. They can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities to grow their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games. The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items. The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose parents had a lower educational background. On average, children of lower-educated parents tend to eat fewer vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out the dietary gap between families. “Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encourages children to choose a more diverse selection on their plates,” explains Kähkönen, who is an expert on health. Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial to health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood. 28. What is the main focus of the new study? A. The relation between diet and health. B. The impact of family on food choices. C. The role of kindergartens in food education. D. The effectiveness of Sapere in food education. 29. How did the researchers conduct their research? A. By making a comparison. B. By analyzing the previous cases. C. By interviewing some children. D. By collecting the relevant data. 30. What do the underlined words “even out” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Measure. B. Narrow. C. Analyze. D. Update. 31. What’s Kähkönen’s attitude towards the Sapere method? A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. D Red pandas live in high-altitude, mild forests where they prefer to be near water and have access to bamboo. They are mostly active at dusk and dawn, and they sleep during most of the day. They rely on the trees for shelter, to escape from predators (捕食者), and to sunbathe in the winter. About 98% of a red panda’s diet is bamboo. They need a lot of it to survive — around 2 kilograms each day. However, finding enough bamboo is difficult as the red panda’s habitat becomes smaller. When people move into the red panda’s area, they clear forests for housing and commercial development, farming and mining. Natural disasters such as landslides, floods; heavy snow and rainfall have also destroyed their habitats. Forest fires, invasive (侵入的) plant species, and issues with bamboo flowering (including the death of the plant) have similarly had effects on the red panda’s habitat. Species of bamboo are affected by forest fires and other environmental changes. As people move into the area, they often collect bamboo, leaving less for red pandas to eat. Although the red panda is endangered, steps are being made to save the species and its habitat. According to the IUCN, China has 46 protected areas, covering about 65% of the species’ habitat in the country. There are at least 19 protected areas in India, five in Bhutan and three in Myanmar. The Red Panda Network is a nonprofit organization that protects red pandas and their habitat. They work with local community groups to establish wildlife feeding centers, train forest protectors to raise awareness about red pandas, and work with villagers to establish protected areas. The WWF is also working to protect red pandas and their habitats. Because more than a third of the potential habitat is in Nepal, the group works with yak herders (牦牛牧民) and other groups there to lower their effect on the red panda’s habitat. 32. Why is it challenging for red pandas to find enough food? A. Bamboo is not good enough. B. They are not active hunters. C. Their habitats are becoming smaller. D. There is a lack of water in their habitat. 33. What do the data in paragraph 4 mainly show? A. Global efforts to protect red pandas. B. Serious situations faced by red pandas. C. India’s deep protection of rare wildlife. D. China’s advantage in keeping red pandas. 34. What does the Red Panda Network do to protect red pandas? A. Force yak herders to move away. B. Advocate people to adopt them. C. Cooperate with local experts to do research. D. Work with communities to build wildlife feeding centers. 35. What’s a suitable title for this text? A. The Key Points of Red Pandas’ Survival. B. The Influence of Natural Disasters on Bamboo. C The Threat and Protection of Red Pandas. D. The Reason for the Disappearance of Bamboo. 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。 Making decisions is a complex skill.

He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
