In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.
One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no...”cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”
I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?”
As light smile was on his face, “Yes!”
The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority (优先权), worth and a place to belong to.
Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.
24. Why did the family eat in the car after work?
A. To avoid heavy traffic jams. B. To spend more time with family members.
C. To remove the trouble of cooking. D. To have extra basketball classes.
25. What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2?
A. He wanted to build the playhouse independently.
B. He was disappointed with the playhouse.
C. He wanted to do projects with his dad.
D. He missed the school project and was very sad.
26. Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A. Efficient and patient. B. Educated and strict.
C. Open-minded and generous. D. Thoughtful and caring.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Looking After Kids Is Easy B. A Role Model for Kids Counts
C. Family Events Bring Us Together D. Balancing Work and Family Is Important
C
Group exercise is one of the most helpful ways to improve physical fitness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course, everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but also for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more fruitful than going to the gym alone.
Another benefit of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better choice for you. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you!
If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn’t scold ( 训 斥 ) anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect and support can do a lot of good while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation.
28. What does the first paragraph focus on?
A. The greatest challenge of group exercise.
B. The best way to improve physical fitness.
C. The contribution of group exercise to psychological health.
D. The shared common goal in performing exercise in groups.
29. What does the underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Cheerful. B. Average. C. Careful. D. Advanced.
30. What is the author’s suggestion according to paragraph 3?
A. It is joyful to party with positive people.
B. It is necessary to have a colorful lifestyle.
C. It is amazing to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly.
D. It is important to surround yourself with supportive people.
31. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Seeking Support B. Supporting Health
C. Improving Your Strength D. Building up Fitness
D
Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone app.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their business runs. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.
However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus, people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities — including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. Remski says, "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
32. What does the underlined word “streamline” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Record. B. Understand. C. Redevelop. D. Simplify
33. What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy?
A. It is unfair to some people. B. It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C. It is advantageous to customers. D. It is the result of the marketplace.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B. Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C. Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D. Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
35. What was some cities’ attitude towards going cashless?
A. They encouraged it. B. They fought against it.
C. They cared little about it. D. They were hopeful about it.

A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes — even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbours, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very absent-minded.
One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.
The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
“Oh, my dear, I forget the name of the town.”
“What? You forget the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”
Satisfied that she had solved the problem she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
“What is the matter now?” asked his wife.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbours, trying to find out what had happened.

【原文】Today we will talk about sports. We know all over the world people enjoy sports. Why? Maybe the most important reason is that sports help people to keep healthy and happy and to live longer. Many people like to watch others play games. They often buy tickets or turn on their TV to watch the games when they have time. And often they get very excited when “their” player or team wins or plays very well. Some sports are so interesting that almost all the people go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with a lot of rivers or lakes. Some sports or games go back more than 4, 000 years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese martial arts, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither is hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. As we all know, water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together, they often become good friends.

In 2017, besides a full-time job, I also coached two basketball teams. I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.
One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done,” I replied. “Oh no...”cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”
I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?”
As light smile was on his face, “Yes!”
The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority (优先权), worth and a place to belong to.
Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday.” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.
24. Why did the family eat in the car after work?
A. To avoid heavy traffic jams. B. To spend more time with family members.
C. To remove the trouble of cooking. D. To have extra basketball classes.
25. What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2?
A. He wanted to build the playhouse independently.
B. He was disappointed with the playhouse.
C. He wanted to do projects with his dad.
D. He missed the school project and was very sad.
26. Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A. Efficient and patient. B. Educated and strict.
C. Open-minded and generous. D. Thoughtful and caring.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?

Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy.

Group exercise is one of the most helpful ways to improve physical fitness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course, everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but also for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more fruitful than going to the gym alone.
Another benefit of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better choice for you. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you!
If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn’t scold ( 训 斥 ) anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect and support can do a lot of good while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation.
28. What does the first paragraph focus on?
A. The greatest challenge of group exercise.
B. The best way to improve physical fitness.
C. The contribution of group exercise to psychological health.
D. The shared common goal in performing exercise in groups.
29. What does the underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Cheerful. B. Average. C. Careful. D. Advanced.
30. What is the author’s suggestion according to paragraph 3?
A. It is joyful to party with positive people.
B. It is necessary to have a colorful lifestyle.

Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone app.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their business runs. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.
However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus, people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities — including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. Remski says, "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
32. What does the underlined word “streamline” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Record. B. Understand. C. Redevelop. D. Simplify
33. What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy?
A. It is unfair to some people. B. It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C. It is advantageous to customers. D. It is the result of the marketplace.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B. Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C. Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D. Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
35. What was some cities’ attitude towards going cashless?
A. They encouraged it. B. They fought against it.
C. They cared little about it. D. They were hopeful about it.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。现在,越来越多的商店和餐馆不接受现金付款。相反,消费者必须使用信用卡或智能手机应用程序支付。文章主要说明了如今的无现金化的社会现象,指出人们对此的不同看法和态度。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.”可知,工作人员不用担心收银机里有足够的钱来找零,也不用担心把钞票和硬币拿到银行,说明无现金化帮助他们简化了经营方式。故划线词意思是“简化”。A. Record.记录;B. Understand.理解;C. Redevelop.再发展;D. Simplify简化。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.(“无现金经济不是包容性经济。 有些消费者因为收入低而拿不到信用卡。当商店拒绝接受现金时,他们将低收入或无家可归的人排除在外,”华盛顿特区财政政策研究所的政策主任Tazra Mitchell说)”可知,Tazra Mitchell认为无现金经济对某些人是不公平的。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type(在美国,每10个人中就有8个人每月使用现金。这比任何其他支付方式都要多)”可知,现金支付仍然很受消费者欢迎。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities—including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. (一些地方的立法者已经采取措施禁止无现金商店。包括纽约在内的几个主要城市。约克市和宾夕法尼亚州的费城已经通过了法律来解决这个问题。 在加利福尼亚州的旧金山,去年5月通过了一项禁止无现金商店的法律。该公司表示,该市大多数商店必须允许顾客用现金支付)”可知,一些城市对无现金化持反对态度。故选B。

【39题详解】
根据本段“Don’t buy things made of horns, ivory and others that endanger animals. This saves the animals and their habitats. Even when traveling, be careful when buying souvenirs.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了丝绸之路的历史地位和兴衰。中国正试图恢复古代丝绸之路的概念,新丝绸之路旨在以实际行动弘扬和平、合作、开放、包容、共享的精神。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:丝绸之路把古罗马和遥远的中国连接起来。根据名词China可知修饰名词要用形容词,distance是名词,其形容词是distant。故填distant。
【57题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句的关系词。句意:它曾经是世界上最伟大的贸易路线网,沿着这条路,丝绸和黄金等珍贵物品进行贸易以及革命性的新思想的传播。分析句子成分可知,本句中the greatest network of trade routes后面被一个定语从句修饰,从句中介词along提前,先行词指的是前面的丝绸之路,在定语从句中作介词along的宾语。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:它曾经是世界上最伟大的贸易路线网,沿着这条路,丝绸和黄金等珍贵物品进行贸易以及革命性的新思想的传播。短语as well as“也,和…一样”,是固定搭配。故填as。
【59题详解】

【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:交通放慢了,商人们离开,最后它的城镇消失在沙漠之下,被遗忘了一千年。分析句子成分可知,此处需要修饰动词appeared,表示“最终消失了”,因此用副词在句子中做状语。故填finally。

【63题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:巨大的壁画、雕塑和无价的古董被一吨吨的运走,今天正在十几个国家的博物馆展览。根据时间today,可知要用一般现在时或现在进行时,而这些无价之宝被展览,表被动,也就是说主语Huge wall paintings, sculptures and priceless antiques和谓语动词show是被动关系,且主语是复数,因此be动词要用are。故填are shown。
【64题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:旨在通过具体项目,弘扬和平、合作、开放、包容、共赢的精神。根据句意可知,benefits和share是被动关系,此处要用过去分词作定语,译为“被分享的”,因此用shared。故填shared。
【65题详解】

67. 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。
A friend of mine whose name was John Smith had a bad memory, which made him famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes — even his meals! Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. His wife liked to remind her neighbours, “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!” Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment to him. It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say, but just very absent-minded.
One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret. However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going.
The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.
“Oh, my dear, I forget the name of the town.”
“What? You forget the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”
Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
“What is the matter now?” asked his wife.

【答案】范文
“What is the matter now?” asked his wife .“I just can’t remember why I come back and where I am supposed to be going on such a hot summer day,” replied the professor. However, the real reason was that he forgot where he had left his children. Sensing something wrong, Mrs Smith didn’t believe his words, because whenever he told a lie, he would usually blink his eyes quickly. “Tell me the truth,” ordered his wife. “As you told me, I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town, but I forget the station where I left our children!” whispered the professor, his voice trembling. “What a bad memory!” shouted his wife.
Hearing the cry, out rushed their neighbours, trying to find out what had happened. A fight between the couple was about to start when the professor’s cell phone began to ring. His friend, whose patience had worn out, phoned to complain. The professor apologised, got into his car and drove away, leaving behind a bunch of people outside the house. Being afraid that he would make matters worse again, Mrs. Smith decided to follow him, who then called a taxi. By the time she caught up with her husband, their children had been already back home safe and sound.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了约翰·史密斯记性不好。并且由于史密斯是一所知名大学的教授,他的健忘常常使他感到尴尬。这并不是说他不聪明,就像一些吹毛求疵的人说的那样,他只是很健忘。某个夏日,史密斯带孩子外出时,把孩子忘在了车站。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他妻子问‘现在是怎么回事?’”可知,第一段可描写史密斯坦白自己把孩子忘在车站了。
②由第二段首句内容“听到喊声,邻居们冲了出来,想知道发生了什么事。”可知,第二段可描写朋友打来电话催促以及最后孩子安然无恙地回到了家。
