C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国几个典型的传统节日：春节、元宵节、端午节、七夕节、中秋节和重阳节。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Lantern Festival部分中“Part of the Lantern Festival tradition involves a game to guess riddles attached to the lanterns.(元宵节传统的一部分包括猜灯谜的游戏)”和“Stilt walking, drumming and dragon and lion dancing are the main entertainment forms of the Lantern Festival.(踩高跷、击鼓和舞龙舞狮是元宵节的主要娱乐形式)”可知，A、B、C项都被包括在内。D项中的lucky money是春节才有的，故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Dragon Boat Festival部分中“The day is to celebrate the patriotic (爱国的) poet Qu Yuan, a loyal and highly respected minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified (诽谤).(这一天是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原，一位忠诚而受人尊敬的大臣，他给国家带来了和平与繁荣，但最终因受到诽谤而投河自尽)”可知，屈原与本题中的“the symbol of devotees of his homeland(献身祖国的象征)”指代一致，故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The MidAutumn Festival部分第二句“The custom of worshipping the moon can be traced back to the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties.(祭月的习俗可以追溯到夏商朝代)”可知，祭月的习俗是中秋节特有的。故选C。 B Having grown up on a farm near Alliston, Ontario, Frederick Banting was a good worker but felt uncomfortable and unaccepted in a town school. Fred hated school. After graduation, he began studies to become a minister. When that did not go well, he changed his goal to medicine. After World War I, the young Canadian doctor returned home to set up his practice. Just then he began to focus on articles on diabetes (糖尿病), a disease that had cost the life of a neighbor’s child. To solve the problem of this disease, Fred asked Dr. J.J. R. Macleod at the University of Toronto for help to lend him a laboratory and was given a young assistant named Charles Best. Fred and Charles worked day and night, but early results in producing the hormone (激素) preparation they called insulin (胰岛素) were discouraging. Many of the animals they treated died. Finally one animal kept alive for several weeks. The team appeared to be finally getting somewhere, and it was time to move on to human subjects. Before treating human patients, however, Fred and Charles tested the safety of their insulin on each other. Their tests were a triumph. The first patient to be treated was a fourteen-year-old boy named Leonard. The year was1921. The poor boy weighed only seventy-five pounds, and he was hardly alive. But the new insulin treatment by Fred and Charles was a great success. Leonard gained weight, and his health greatly improved. In 1923, the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded both to Canadian doctors Frederick Banting and J.J.R. Macleod. Fred could have made himself a millionaire with his discovery. Instead, he sold his patent for the production of insulin to the University of Toronto—for one dollar—so that the drug could be marketed cheaply and thousands of lives could be saved and improved. Fred was just ordinary in many respects but he was a man with the strong will to get to his goal. He had the heart of a true Canadian hero. 24. What’s the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. To tell why Fred graduated early. B. To show why Fred changed his life goal. C. To introduce how Fred took up the research. D. To tell what Fred experienced in the war. 25. What does the underlined word “triumph” mean in paragraph 2? A. Reference. B. Victory. C. Challenge. D. Model 26. Why did Fred sell his patent? A. To make money. B. To earn reputation. C. To promote insulin. D. To benefit patients. 27. Which of the following is probably the best title for the text? A. An Unlikely Hero B. A Chance Discovery C. A Successful Test D. A Well—known Scientist 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1923年诺贝尔医学奖获得者Frederick Banting发现胰岛素的过程和生平贡献。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Having grown up on a farm near Alliston, Ontario, Frederick Banting was a good worker but felt uncomfortable and unaccepted in a town school. Fred hated school. After graduation, he began studies to become a minister. When that did not go well, he changed his goal to medicine. After World War I, the young Canadian doctor returned home to set up his practice. Just then he began to focus on articles on diabetes (糖尿病), a disease that had cost the life of a neighbor’ s child.( Frederick Banting在安大略省阿利斯顿附近的一个农场长大，他是个好工人，但在镇上的学校里却感到不舒服和不被接受。Fred讨厌学校。毕业后，他开始学习成为一名牧师。当那不顺利时，他把目标改为医学。第一次世界大战后，这位年轻的加拿大医生回到家乡开办了自己的诊所。就在那时，他开始关注有关糖尿病的文章，邻居家的一个孩子因患糖尿病而失去了生命)”以及第二段首句“To solve the problem of this disease, Fred asked Dr. J.J. R. Macleod at the University of Toronto for help to lend him a laboratory and was given a young assistant named Charles Best.(为了解决这种疾病的问题，Fred向多伦多大学的J.J. R. Macleod博士请求帮助，借给他一个实验室，并得到了一位名叫Charles Best的年轻助手)”可知，第一段主要的目的是为了告诉读者Fred是如何开始研究糖尿病的。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“Before treating human patients, however, Fred and Charles tested the safety of their insulin on each other.(然而，在治疗人类病人之前，Fred和Charles在彼此身上测试了胰岛素的安全性)”以及下一段“The first patient to be treated was a fourteen-year-old boy named Leonard.(第一个接受治疗的病人是一个名叫Leonard的14岁男孩)”可知，在治疗病人之前，Fred和Charles在彼此身上测试了胰岛素的安全性；再根据下文所说的第一个接受治疗病人成功了。由此判断，Fred和Charles的测试是成功的。选项A“Reference(参考)”；选项B“Victory(胜利)”；选项C“Challenge(挑战)”；选项D“Model(模范)”。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Instead, he sold his patent for the production of insulin to the University of Toronto—for one dollar—so that the drug could be marketed cheaply and thousands of lives could be saved and improved.(相反，他以一美元的价格将他生产胰岛素的专利卖给了多伦多大学，这样药物就可以便宜地销售，成千上万的生命就可以得到拯救和改善)”可知，他将一美元的价格将生产胰岛素的专利的原因是希望能够帮助更多的病人。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容可知，文章主要介绍了1923年诺贝尔医学奖获得者Frederick Banting的生平贡献以及最后一段“Fred was just ordinary in many respects but he was a man with the strong will to get to his goal. He had the heart of a true Canadian hero.( Fred在很多方面都很普通，但他是一个有坚强意志去实现目标的人。他有一颗真正的加拿大英雄的心)”可知，作者认为Frederick Banting是一个真正的英雄。所以“An Unlikely Hero(一个不可思议的英雄)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。 C One day, Vinod Menon, head of the physics department at City College of New York, was going through his office mails. He opened a box, only to find $180,000 with a nameless letter and a return address. Having never seen so much money, he was too shocked to know what to do with it. City College of New York is one of the most-productive public university systems in the United States, and the physics department has played a key role. Three Nobel Prize winners in physics received their education there, and in 1921 Albert Einstein gave one of his first lectures at the Harlem campus. “Supposing that you are a bit curious as to why I am doing this, the reason is simple,” the letter read. It continued to explain that many years before, its generous writer had taken advantage of the excellent educational opportunity, available at City College to study physics, earn a master’s degree, and do a long, productive, well-rewarding scientific job. The sender wished to offer the money to poor students learning physics and other sciences. The return address was to a house in Pensacola, Florida whose owners had no idea of the money. The money was first put aside, but after the two-month-long research which had found nothing that could link it to activities which are not lawful, the leaders of the college decided to keep and make good use of the money. Dr. Menon, who grew up in India, noted that the gift would provide for two fully-funded scholarships every year for ten years, and that he would try to see it go into the hands of the students who had the fewest means — such as immigrants like him. 28. How did Vinod Menon feel at the first sight of so much money? A. Overjoyed. B. Surprised. C. Anxious. D. Calm. 29. Why does the author mention Albert Einstein in paragraph 2? A. To show Einstein was an excellent student. B. To introduce Albert Einstein to readers. C. To explain the money was from Einstein. D. To prove the college is famous. 30. What can be inferred about the sender from the letter? A. The sender is successful in some way. B. The sender lives in Florida at present. C. The sender owns a house in Pensacola. D. The sender used to do something against the law. 31. What will the college do with the money? A. Return it to its owner. B. Set up scholarships with it. C. Give it away to immigrants. D. Put it all into the bank. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了纽约城市学院物理系主任Vinod Menon收到了18万美元的捐款，捐款人希望将这笔钱提供给学习物理和其他科学的贫困学生。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He opened a box, only to find $180,000 with a nameless letter and a return address. Having never seen so much money, he was too shocked to know what to do with it.(他打开了一个盒子，却发现里面有18万美元，还有一封匿名信和回信地址。他从来没见过这么多钱，吓得不知如何是好)”可推知，Vinod Menon第一次看到这么多钱时感觉惊讶。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“City College of New York is one of the most-productive public university systems in the United States, and the physics department has played a key role. Three Nobel Prize winners in physics received their education there, and in 1921 Albert Einstein gave one of his first lectures at the Harlem campus.(纽约城市学院是美国最富有成效的公立大学系统之一，物理系在其中发挥了关键作用。三位诺贝尔物理学奖得主都在那里接受了教育。1921年，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在哈莱姆校区进行了他的第一次演讲)”可推知，作者在第二段提到爱因斯坦是为了证明这所大学很有名。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It continued to explain that many years before, its generous writer had taken advantage of the excellent educational opportunity, available at City College to study physics, earn a master’s degree, and do a long, productive, well-rewarding scientific job. (它继续解释说，多年前，慷慨的写信人利用了城市学院提供的良好教育机会，学习物理，获得硕士学位，从事一项长期的、多产的、回报丰厚的科学工作)”可推知，寄信人在某些方面很成功的。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr. Menon, who grew up in India, noted that the gift would provide for two fully-funded scholarships every year for ten years, and that he would try to see it go into the hands of the students who had the fewest means — such as immigrants like him.(在印度长大的梅农博士指出，这笔捐款将每年提供两个全额奖学金，为期十年，他将努力让这笔钱落入那些收入最低的学生手中——比如像他这样的移民)”可知，学校将用这笔钱来设立奖学金。故选B。 D In Austin, Texas, a construction technology company, ICON, claims to have America’s first 3D-printed homes for sale. Partnering with Kansas City developer 3Strands, the company is building two-to-four-bedroom homes in Austin, the Texas capital. The 3D-printing construction technology can “precisely(精确地) control the deposition on concrete over a large print area”, so it can build a house in weeks, the company said. In the US, the first 3D-printed housing community will be built in Rancho Mirage, a desert city in California, according to developer Palari. It covers 5 acres, includes 15 houses and is set for completion by next spring. Each house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a 10,000-square-foot lot with a swimming pool and deck only for $595,000. All the houses will be made from 3D-printed panels by Mighty Buildings, an Oakland, California-based construction technology company. The company uses panelized technology, called the “Mighty Kit System”, to print a “stone-like” material. Unlike ICON, which works on the building site, Mighty Buildings ships the panels to the site, where they are assembled(聚集). The houses in the Rancho Mirage project, which always cost three to six months using traditional methods, will take a month to install, Palari CEO Basil Starr told the Los Angeles Times. A typical project of this scale would take around three years, but they are planning for no more than a year and a half, he said. The pre-sale campaign started in late February and sold out within days, said Starr, adding that most of the buyers were people with practical knowledge or understanding of this kind of technology and a passion for sustainability. Apart from the construction speed, the companies also stress that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than traditional building methods because 3D printers produce the precise amount of material, while building wood-frame houses will result in construction waste ending up in landfills. The 3D-printing technology also provides “safer” houses that are designed to withstand fire, flood, wind and other natural disasters better than conventionally built houses, according to ICON. 32. What are the main features of the 3D-printed houses according to the passage? A. Affordable , eco-friendly and safe. B. Cheap ,comfortable and eco-friendly. C. Time-saving , safe and practical. D. Practical , comfortable and cheap. 33. From the passage, which of the following statements is True ? A. ICON will work together with developer Palari to build the first 3D-printed housing community . B. The 3D-printed houses are popular with all citizens. C. Both ICON and Mighty Buildings will transport the printed materials to the building sites. D. 3D-printing will help save building materials. 34. What is the attitude of the author to the 3D-printing construction technology? A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 35. The author writes the text to tell readers ________. A. the 3D-printed houses are much better than traditional ones B. the 3D-printing technology is widely used C. 3D-printing construction technology companies D. 3D-printing technology used in construction 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述3D打印技术在房屋建筑方面的优势。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Each house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a 10,000-square-foot lot with a swimming pool and deck only for $595,000.”(每栋房子有三间卧室和两间浴室，占地面积1万平方英尺，带游泳池和露台，售价59.5万美元。)可知，这个价格是一般家庭可以担负的起的；根据第七段“the companies also stress that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than traditional building methods”(这些公司还强调3D 打印比传统的建筑方法更环保)可知，3D 打印技术是环保的；根据最后一段“The 3D-printing technology also provides “safer” houses that are designed to withstand fire, flood, wind and other natural disasters better than conventionally built houses”(3D打印技术还提供了“更安全”的房屋，这些房屋的设计比传统建造的房屋更能抵御火灾、洪水、风灾和其他自然灾害)可知，3D打印技术具有安全的特性，所以3D打印技术具有买得起、环保和安全的特征。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“Apart from the construction speed, the companies also stress that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than traditional building methods because 3D printers produce the precise amount of material, while building wood-frame houses will result in construction waste ending up in landfills.”(除了施工速度之外，这些公司还强调，3D 打印比传统的建筑方法更环保，因为3D 打印机可以精确地生产材料，而建造木结构房屋将导致建筑垃圾最终被填埋。)可知，3D 打印机可以精确地生产材料，这样就可以帮助节约建筑材料了。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“the companies also stress that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than traditional building methods”(这些公司还强调3D 打印比传统的建筑方法更环保)和最后一段“The 3D-printing technology also provides “safer” houses that are designed to withstand fire, flood, wind and other natural disasters better than conventionally built houses”(3D打印技术还提供了“更安全”的房屋，这些房屋的设计比传统建造的房屋更能抵御火灾、洪水、风灾和其他自然灾害)可知，作者在文章中只是客观的描述了3D打印技术的好处，并没有个人的主观态度，所以是中立的观点。故选A。 35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In Austin, Texas, a construction technology company, ICON, claims to have America’s first 3D-printed homes for sale.”(在德克萨斯州的奥斯汀，一家建筑技术公司ICON宣称，美国第一批3D打印房屋已经出售。)和第二段“The 3D-printing construction technology can “precisely(精确地) control the deposition on concrete over a large print area”, so it can build a house in weeks”(3D打印施工技术可以“精确控制大面积打印区域上的混凝土沉积”，因此它可以在几周内建造一座房子)可知，这篇文章主要讲述3D打印技术在房屋建设方面的使用。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some Advantages of Listening to Music Enjoying listening to music makes you good company. ____36____ Music makes you happier.

By the age of 19, he was a star football player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be just like him. So when Allen asked me to join him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I said yes! After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies and then set off on our adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest by early evening. On the way to our campsite, Allen pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the foresters worked. Allen knew all the tricks of an experienced camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest floor, he started the campfire using only stone and steel, no matches. After a day of travelling, we were very hungry. We ate beef and rice and some soup as well. Exhausted, we crawled into our sleeping bags early. Allen was still talking about his past camping adventures when a sudden wind picked up from the north. The temperature dropped and it began to snow. Allen knew of a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the woods, wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log and then placed it near the campfire. The heat from the fire reflected into the tent. Soon the tent was warm again and thoughts of lake fish filled my dreams. I was still dreaming when Allen woke me up in a panic. Our tent was on fire! The snow had stopped during the night, but the wind had fanned the flames of the fire towards our tent. Frightened by the flames, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Allen inside. Without any hesitation, I reached into the burning tent, grabbed him, and dragged him to the icy lake. We checked each other to make sure neither of us was hurt. 续写要求: 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。 Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our situation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Allen was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest. Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Allen and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Allen began to treat me more like a friend rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和堂兄Allen 去明尼苏达州北部的苏必利尔国家森林营地里露营，准备第二天去钓鱼。但是由于夜里刮起了大风，导致帐篷着火了。幸运的是，作者从着火的帐篷里把Allen拉出来了，二人都没怎么受伤。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来，当我们站在燃烧着的帐篷旁取暖时，我们考虑到我们的困难处境。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Allen当时的处境以及考虑如何走出森林。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，我们听到森林里有响声。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Allen如何获救以及之后Allen对待作者的态度的转变。 2.续写线索：所有用品烧成灰烬——不知所措——想着如何走出森林——感到焦虑——听见声音——看到亮光——得救——友谊持续 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①烧成灰烬：burn into ashes/burn to a cinder ②想知道：wonder/want to know ③持续：continue/last 情绪类 ①不确定的：unsure/uncertain ②焦虑地：Anxiously /Worriedly 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B Having grown up on a farm near Alliston, Ontario, Frederick Banting was a good worker but felt uncomfortable and unaccepted in a town school. Fred hated school. After graduation, he began studies to become a minister. When that did not go well, he changed his goal to medicine. After World War I, the young Canadian doctor returned home to set up his practice. Just then he began to focus on articles on diabetes (糖尿病), a disease that had cost the life of a neighbor’s child. To solve the problem of this disease, Fred asked Dr. J.J. R. Macleod at the University of Toronto for help to lend him a laboratory and was given a young assistant named Charles Best. Fred and Charles worked day and night, but early results in producing the hormone (激素) preparation they called insulin (胰岛素) were discouraging. Many of the animals they treated died. Finally one animal kept alive for several weeks. The team appeared to be finally getting somewhere, and it was time to move on to human subjects. Before treating human patients, however, Fred and Charles tested the safety of their insulin on each other. Their tests were a triumph. The first patient to be treated was a fourteen-year-old boy named Leonard. The year was1921. The poor boy weighed only seventy-five pounds, and he was hardly alive. But the new insulin treatment by Fred and Charles was a great success. Leonard gained weight, and his health greatly improved. In 1923, the Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded both to Canadian doctors Frederick Banting and J.J.R. Macleod. Fred could have made himself a millionaire with his discovery. Instead, he sold his patent for the production of insulin to the University of Toronto—for one dollar—so that the drug could be marketed cheaply and thousands of lives could be saved and improved. Fred was just ordinary in many respects but he was a man with the strong will to get to his goal. He had the heart of a true Canadian hero. 24. What’s the main purpose of paragraph 1? A. To tell why Fred graduated early. B. To show why Fred changed his life goal. C. To introduce how Fred took up the research. D. To tell what Fred experienced in the war. 25 What does the underlined word “triumph” mean in paragraph 2? A. Reference. B. Victory. C. Challenge. D. Model 26. Why did Fred sell his patent? A. To make money. B. To earn reputation. C. To promote insulin. D. To benefit patients. 27. Which of the following is probably the best title for the text? A. An Unlikely Hero B. A Chance Discovery C. A Successful Test D. A Well—known Scientist C One day, Vinod Menon, head of the physics department at City College of New York, was going through his office mails. He opened a box, only to find $180,000 with a nameless letter and a return address. Having never seen so much money, he was too shocked to know what to do with it. City College of New York is one of the most-productive public university systems in the United States, and the physics department has played a key role. Three Nobel Prize winners in physics received their education there, and in 1921 Albert Einstein gave one of his first lectures at the Harlem campus. “Supposing that you are a bit curious as to why I am doing this, the reason is simple,” the letter read. It continued to explain that many years before, its generous writer had taken advantage of the excellent educational opportunity, available at City College to study physics, earn a master’s degree, and do a long, productive, well-rewarding scientific job. The sender wished to offer the money to poor students learning physics and other sciences. The return address was to a house in Pensacola, Florida whose owners had no idea of the money. The money was first put aside, but after the two-month-long research which had found nothing that could link it to activities which are not lawful, the leaders of the college decided to keep and make good use of the money. Dr. Menon, who grew up in India, noted that the gift would provide for two fully-funded scholarships every year for ten years, and that he would try to see it go into the hands of the students who had the fewest means — such as immigrants like him. 28. How did Vinod Menon feel at the first sight of so much money? A. Overjoyed. B. Surprised. C. Anxious. D. Calm. 29. Why does the author mention Albert Einstein in paragraph 2? A. To show Einstein was an excellent student. B. To introduce Albert Einstein to readers. C. To explain the money was from Einstein. D. To prove the college is famous. 30. What can be inferred about the sender from the letter? A. The sender is successful in some way. B. The sender lives in Florida at present. C. The sender owns a house in Pensacola. D. The sender used to do something against the law. 31. What will the college do with the money? A. Return it to its owner. B. Set up scholarships with it. C. Give it away to immigrants. D. Put it all into the bank. D In Austin, Texas, a construction technology company, ICON, claims to have America’s first 3D-printed homes for sale. Partnering with Kansas City developer 3Strands, the company is building two-to-four-bedroom homes in Austin, the Texas capital. The 3D-printing construction technology can “precisely(精确地) control the deposition on concrete over a large print area”, so it can build a house in weeks, the company said. In the US, the first 3D-printed housing community will be built in Rancho Mirage, a desert city in California, according to developer Palari. It covers 5 acres, includes 15 houses and is set for completion by next spring. Each house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a 10,000-square-foot lot with a swimming pool and deck only for $595,000. All the houses will be made from 3D-printed panels by Mighty Buildings, an Oakland, California-based construction technology company. The company uses panelized technology, called the “Mighty Kit System”, to print a “stone-like” material. Unlike ICON, which works on the building site, Mighty Buildings ships the panels to the site, where they are assembled(聚集). The houses in the Rancho Mirage project, which always cost three to six months using traditional methods, will take a month to install, Palari CEO Basil Starr told the Los Angeles Times. A typical project of this scale would take around three years, but they are planning for no more than a year and a half, he said. The pre-sale campaign started in late February and sold out within days, said Starr, adding that most of the buyers were people with practical knowledge or understanding of this kind of technology and a passion for sustainability. Apart from the construction speed, the companies also stress that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than traditional building methods because 3D printers produce the precise amount of material, while building wood-frame houses will result in construction waste ending up in landfills. The 3D-printing technology also provides “safer” houses that are designed to withstand fire, flood, wind and other natural disasters better than conventionally built houses, according to ICON. 32. What are the main features of the 3D-printed houses according to the passage? A. Affordable , eco-friendly and safe. B. Cheap ,comfortable and eco-friendly. C. Time-saving , safe and practical. D. Practical , comfortable and cheap. 33. From the passage, which of the following statements is True ? A. ICON will work together with developer Palari to build the first 3D-printed housing community . B. The 3D-printed houses are popular with all citizens. C. Both ICON and Mighty Buildings will transport the printed materials to the building sites. D. 3D-printing will help save building materials. 34. What is the attitude of the author to the 3D-printing construction technology? A. Neutral. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 35. The author writes the text to tell readers ________. A. the 3D-printed houses are much better than traditional ones B. the 3D-printing technology is widely used C. 3D-printing construction technology companies D. 3D-printing technology used in construction 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some Advantages of Listening to Music Enjoying listening to music makes you good company. ____36____ Music makes you happier.

By the age of 19, he was a star football player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be just like him. So when Allen asked me to join him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I said yes! After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies and then set off on our adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest by early evening. On the way to our campsite, Allen pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the foresters worked. Allen knew all the tricks of an experienced camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest floor, he started the campfire using only stone and steel, no matches. After a day of travelling, we were very hungry. We ate beef and rice and some soup as well. Exhausted, we crawled into our sleeping bags early. Allen was still talking about his past camping adventures when a sudden wind picked up from the north. The temperature dropped and it began to snow. Allen knew of a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log from the woods, wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log and then placed it near the campfire. The heat from the fire reflected into the tent. Soon the tent was warm again and thoughts of lake fish filled my dreams. I was still dreaming when Allen woke me up in a panic. Our tent was on fire! The snow had stopped during the night, but the wind had fanned the flames of the fire towards our tent. Frightened by the flames, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Allen inside. Without any hesitation, I reached into the burning tent, grabbed him, and dragged him to the icy lake. We checked each other to make sure neither of us was hurt. 续写要求: 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。 Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our situation. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
