Perhaps the most important thing is to identify your own strategies to help you stay cool, calm and collected. So what should you do before the exam? The key to performing well on exam day is effective preparation, so plan your revision strategy well in advance. Here are some tips you might find useful. Try not to study too much the evening before an exam. What you certainly mustn’t do is study all night! It’s really important to try and get a good night’s sleep so that you're fresh and ready for the exam. Remember to eat well and drink plenty of water. Work out how many questions or sections you will be required to answer and how much time you have, so that you can work out how much time to allocate to the different parts of the exam. Draw up a rough timetable so that you know when you should be finishing one part and going on to another. Arrive promptly for the exam, but maybe not too early. If you arrive very early and start discussing the exam with other students, it could make you more nervous. Make sure you have everything you need. 第二部分 阅读理解（共二节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest. Amazon Rainforest Tour A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you’ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest. Machu Picchu Tour This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones. Cusco Tour Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Stay in a local hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go shopping at the local markets. Lake Titicaca Tour Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants from the lake. So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries — old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline. 21. What is special about the Machu Picchu Tour? A. People can explore the rainforest with a local guide. B. People can stay with a local Uros family on an island. C. People can enjoy the plants and animals unique to the forest. D. People can know about the Incas’ dry stone method of building. 22. Which tour would you recommend to people who enjoy local Indian culture? A. Amazon Rainforest Tour. B. Machu Picchu Tour. C. Cusco Tour. D. Lake Titicaca Tour. 23. Where can you most probably read the passage? A. On a science website. B. In a travel brochure. C. In an environmental report. D. In a biology magazine. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了去秘鲁旅行的四种旅游套餐。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Machu Picchu Tour中“Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. (尤其令人惊叹的是印加人的干石建造法)”可知，马丘比丘之旅的独特之处在于人们可以知道印加人的干石建造方法。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cusco Tour部分中“Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century.(在安第斯山脉高处的库斯科，花四天时间欣赏独特的西班牙和当地的印度文化，库斯科是13世纪至16世纪印加帝国的首都)”可知，你会向喜欢印度当地文化的人推荐Cusco Tour。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Peru is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow, dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.(秘鲁是南美洲太平洋沿岸的一个国家，主要有三个地区：狭窄、干燥、平坦的海岸、安第斯山脉和亚马逊雨林)”可知，本文是一篇关于去秘鲁旅行包价旅游的广告宣传，因此你最可能在旅行手册上读到这篇文章。故选B项。 B “Can we eat this one, Dad?” my four-year-old daughter, Alicia, asks. We’re on one of our Thursday adventures, searching the nearby woods for eatable mushrooms. She’s pointing at a bright-red cap covered with white dots. I pull out my handy mushroom-identification app, which notes that Amanita muscaria, while eatable if prepared properly, is also a known hallucinogen (致幻剂). I have a firm “tell them the truth and be as precise as possible” philosophy and explain what the app says, and that I don’t think our Thursday adventures are ready to get quite that adventurous yet. Watching your kids learn new skills is extraordinarily rewarding, but I’ve experienced more personal growth than I have at any other point in my life. Last year, after a winter of practicing skiing on the green tracks for beginners each week, Alicia was french-frying her way down blues and even attempted her first black. That month also witnessed me visiting the mountain more times than in the 15 years combined and I’ve got myself a partner for life. It’s not all easy—but sometimes that’s the point. Alicia practices the violin every day, and although she enjoys it, even 15 minutes of practice can upset her. The trick, I’ve found, is to let her watch me try to get better at something, too. I start taking piano lessons at 41 years old with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then improve, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. I know there’s going to be a time when I’ll end up on the sideline cheering her on as she finds her own passions. I’m okay with this, and I’m hoping that by then she’ll carry the joy of practice and knowledge through life. 24. What does the father imply by saying “I’ve got myself a partner for life.”? A. It is rewarding to learn new skills. B. Skiing has become his lifelong hobby. C. He will explore more with his daughter. D. His daughter will accompany him forever. 25. Why does the father start learning to play the piano? A. To prove it is never too old to learn. B. To set a good example for his daughter. C. To experience the joy of piano practice. D. To share with his daughter musical knowledge. 26. Which of the following can best describe the father? A. Rigid and humorous. B. Cautious and inspiring. C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Ambitious and patient. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Thrill of the Skill B. Practice Makes Perfect C. Like Father, Like Daughter D. The Power of Knowledge 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章通过作者女儿不断的尝试各种技能的同时，父亲也做出了表率，希望女儿能够明白事情来之不易，即使对成年人来说也是如此。父亲希望技能可以给孩子带来乐趣。 【24题详解】 句意猜测题。根据第二段“Watching your kids learn new skills is extraordinarily rewarding, but I’ve experienced more personal growth than I have at any other point in my life.”（看着你的孩子学习新技能是非常值得的，但我经历的个人成长比我生命中其他任何时候都要多。）以及划线句前“Last year, after a winter of practicing skiing on the green tracks for beginners each week, Alicia was french-frying her way down blues and even attempted her first black. That month also witnessed me visiting the mountain more times than in the 15 years combined ”（去年，艾丽西亚在为初学者准备的绿色雪道上练习了一个冬天的滑雪之后，她在蓝色中级雪道一路摸索，甚至尝试了她的第一个黑色钻石雪道。那个月我去山上的次数比过去15年的总和还多）可知，孩子在探索的同时，我也在探索。所以划线句的意思是他将和女儿一起探索更多。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I start taking piano lessons at 41 years old with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then improve, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. ”（我从41岁开始上钢琴课，心想如果她看到我在练习和进步的过程中苦苦挣扎，她就会明白事情来之不易，即使对成年人来说也是如此。）可知，父亲开始学弹钢琴为了给女儿树立一个好榜样。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“‘Can we eat this one, Dad?’ my four-year-old daughter, Alicia, asks. We’re on one of our Thursday adventures, searching the nearby woods for eatable mushrooms. She’s pointing at a bright-red cap covered with white dots. I pull out my handy mushroom-identification app, which notes that Amanita muscaria, while eatable if prepared properly, is also a known hallucinogen (致幻剂). I have a firm “tell them the truth and be as precise as possible” philosophy and explain what the app says, and that I don’t think our Thursday adventures are ready to get quite that adventurous yet.”（“我们可以吃这个吗，爸爸?”我四岁的女儿艾丽西娅(Alicia)问道。我们正在进行周四的一次冒险，在附近的树林里寻找可食用的蘑菇。她指着一顶布满白点的鲜红色帽子。我拿出手边的蘑菇识别软件，上面显示，如果准备得当，毒蝇伞虽然可以食用，但也是一种已知的致幻剂。我有一个坚定的“告诉他们真相，并尽可能精确”的理念，并解释了应用程序的内容，我认为我们的周四冒险还没有准备好进行那样的冒险。）可知，作者在女儿问他一种毒蝇伞蘑菇是否可食用，作者查找识别软件，并认为不能尝试食用这种蘑菇，说明作者是一个谨慎的人。最后一段“I start taking piano lessons at 41 years old with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then improve, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. ”（我从41岁开始上钢琴课，心想如果她看到我在练习和进步的过程中苦苦挣扎，她就会明白事情来之不易，即使对成年人来说也是如此。）可知，父亲开始学弹钢琴为了给女儿树立一个好榜样，说明他是一个鼓舞人心的人。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“ I know there’s going to be a time when I’ll end up on the sideline cheering her on as she finds her own passions. I’m okay with this, and I’m hoping that by then she’ll carry the joy of practice and knowledge through life.”（我知道总有一天我会在场边为她加油，因为她找到了自己的激情所在。我对此没有意见，我希望到那时她会把实践和知识的乐趣贯穿一生。）可知，本文通过作者女儿不断的尝试各种技能的同时，父亲也做出了表率，希望女儿能够明白事情来之不易，即使对成年人来说也是如此。父亲希望技能可以给孩子带来乐趣。所以“技能带来的快感”符合最佳标题，故选A。 C It’s never too late to get into science fiction. While science fiction, or sci-fi, often asks that most powerful question “What if?” —— it also deals with “This, now”: reflecting it, questioning it and satirizing (讽刺) it. Science fiction can act at once as a glimpse into our imaginary future while holding a mirror up to our current state of society. Indeed, it can act as a warning for the present to avoid a terrifying future or as a blueprint for future technology. Science fiction can inspire us to live better today so that we can live better lives tomorrow. As Scientific Americans noted, “Science fiction can remind us of … wonder and hope. But it also sends us a warning —— to think about the potential influences of our findings, beyond our idealistic dreams.” Thanks to its brilliant creators, sci-fi becomes the perfect genre to ask the greatest questions that humans dare to ask and broaden the concepts of what is possible in the universe. Who are we and what can we become? Can technology make the world a better place? What will tomorrow bring —— and what can we do today to make that a reality? The genre of sci-fi can push the boundaries of what we think is possible, like the legendary submarine mentioned in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea far before any such vehicle existed. Or it can warn us of a near-future impacted by biotechnology, as in the MaddAddam trilogy. Sci-fi can even imagine how Earth responds to first contact with aliens, a focus of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. Sci-fi and its creators know no limits to what can be imagined. Anything is possible. As science fiction grows in popularity, more books are being written, and more movies and TV shows are adapting these works for the screen. An adaptation of Dune is slated for a 2021 release, and The Three-Body Problem as well as MaddAddam are also in development. The medium of film and television has brought science fiction to life and continues to inspire — or scare — viewers with visions of the future. 28. What can science fiction act as? A. A mirror of reflecting “What if” B. A wonder of science technology C. A vision of the future D. A tool of broadening all concepts 29. How does the author describe the topic of the 5th paragraph? A. By giving examples B. By listing statistics C By making comparisons D. By classifying facts 30. How many sci-fi novels are mentioned in the text? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To honor those brilliant science fiction creators B. To think about the potential influences of sci-fi C. To inspire or scare viewers with visions of the future D. To encourage readers to get started with science fiction 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科幻小说可以立即作为我们想象中的未来的一瞥，同时为我们当前的社会状态提供一面镜子，并鼓励读者去读科幻小说。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Science fiction can act at once as a glimpse into our imaginary future while holding a mirror up to our current state of society.”（科幻小说可以立即作为我们想象中的未来的一瞥，同时为我们当前的社会状态提供一面镜子。）可知，科幻小说扮演着一个对未来憧憬的角色。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The genre of sci-fi can push the boundaries of what we think is possible ”（科幻小说可以突破我们所认为的可能性）可知，这是第五段的主题。根据第五段“like the legendary submarine mentioned in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea far before any such vehicle existed. Or it can warn us of a near-future impacted by biotechnology, as in the MaddAddam trilogy. Sci-fi can even imagine how Earth responds to first contact with aliens, a focus of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. Sci-fi and its creators know no limits to what can be imagined. ”（就像《海底两万里》中所提到的传说中的潜艇，那是在这种交通工具出现之前很久的事了。或者，它可以警告我们在不远的将来受到生物技术的影响，就像《maddadamam》三部曲中的那样。科幻小说甚至可以想象地球如何应对与外星人的第一次接触，这也是刘慈欣《三体》的重点。科幻小说和它的创造者不知道什么是可以想象的。）可知，第五段是通过举例来说明本段的主题的。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“like the legendary submarine mentioned in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea far before any such vehicle existed. Or it can warn us of a near-future impacted by biotechnology, as in the MaddAddam trilogy. Sci-fi can even imagine how Earth responds to first contact with aliens, a focus of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin.

One of the most famous, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), saw a record 6.5 million visitors in 2015. But record attendance doesn't necessarily translate into record revenue (收益). Last month, the Met said it was trying to erase a US $10 million budget deficit. Meanwhile, one of its competitors, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), was abundant in cash, but only about three million people stopped by in 2015. Why do some museums grow stronger while others struggle? My research leads me to believe there are three reasons: fashion, billionaires and demographics (人口数据). First, underlying the Met's financial challenges is the problem with the acquisitions (收购) policy. Recent directors of the Met did not add much to the museum's modern collection. The argument was that museums such as the MoMA were already providing such works in their collections and that the acquisition of contemporary art by living artists was problematic and risky. However, given the fact that museum-goers increasingly favor contemporary art, the revenue of the Met will likely fall if it isn't able to keep up with the tastes of the customers. And by the time it might recognize this, it's already too late to do much about it because the costs to acquire the in-demand art is sky-high. This leads to a second critical issue-the changing distribution of income and its effects on museum finance and operation. We are living in a boom period for contemporary art. The number of auctions and art fairs has grown enormously to accommodate this growing market. In a world with about 1,800 billionaires, it only takes a relative few to drive high-end art prices to astronomical levels. Works by the German artist Gerhard Richter have generated $1.2 billion in sales in recent years. The soaring prices mean museums simply can't keep up and must usually depend on donations to assemble the best works, or they're priced out. Moreover, billionaires themselves are increasingly setting up their own private museums, further distancing the ability of public museums to get the good stuff. A third interrelated problem is that demographic issues have put pressure on the revenue side. Unemployment early retirements and the aging of the population in the US have contributed to increased attendance at museums. You might think it's a good thing, but more traffic means higher costs, and when those additional visitors don't result in more revenue, profitability goes down. This is because of the longstanding movement toward making museums “free” by having individuals, government or businesses “sponsor” the cost. But when that support gets reduced by budget costs or another reason, museums must either cover the cost themselves or lose support by suddenly charging fees. There is evidence that attendance rises when economic growth slows, but that's also when those “sponsors” are more likely to begin to disappear. Museums will certainly continue to exist and provide us with invaluable insights into our culture. But they must exist under economic principles, and it'd be wise for their administrators to consider the economies in their calculations. 32. According to the author, ________. A. MoMA saw a rise in donation due to its increased attendance B. the Met failed to respond to the artistic tastes of modern visitors C. the Met considered works of the living artists as questionable D. MoMA added to its modern collection despite the budget deficit 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. Billionaires control art auctions to price out public museums. B. The boom of modern art will lead visitors to private museums. C. The increase in visitors can hurt the profitability of museums. D. Economic slowdowns result in a weakened interest in museums. 34. What is the author's attitude towards the future of museums in the US? A. Pessimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Negative. 35. Which is the best title of the passage? A. How can Museums Boost Revenues? B. Should Museums Charge Entrance Fees? C. Will Museums Survive in a Fast-changing World? D. What Causes the Financial Challenges of Museums? 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一些博物馆繁荣发展而另一些却举步维艰的原因。 【32题详解】 细节理解提。根据第二段“Recent directors of the Met did not add much to the museum's modern collection.(大都会博物馆的最近几任馆长并没有为博物馆的现代藏品增加多少)”及“However, given the fact that museum-goers increasingly favor contemporary art, the revenue of the Met will likely fall if it isn't able to keep up with the tastes of the customers.(然而，鉴于参观博物馆的人越来越喜欢当代艺术，如果不能跟上顾客的口味，大都会博物馆的收入可能会下降)”可知，大都会博物馆的现代藏品数量未曾增加，而来参观的游客越来越喜欢当代艺术。由此可知，大都会博物馆未能满足现代游客的艺术品味。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“You might think it's a good thing, but more traffic means higher costs, and when those additional visitors don't result in more revenue, profitability goes down.(你可能认为这是一件好事，但更多的流量意味着更高的成本，当这些额外的访问者不能带来更多的收入时，盈利能力就会下降)”可知，访客的增加可能会损害博物馆的盈利能力。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Museums will certainly continue to exist and provide us with invaluable insights into our culture. But they must exist under economic principles, and it'd be wise for their administrators to consider the economies in their calculations.(博物馆肯定会继续存在，并为我们提供对我们文化的宝贵见解。但它们必须在经济原则下存在，管理者在计算时考虑经济因素是明智的)”可推知，作者对博物馆的未来是持谨慎态度的。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do some museums grow stronger while others struggle? My research leads me to believe there are three reasons: fashion, billionaires and demographics (人口数据).(为什么一些博物馆发展壮大，而另一些却在苦苦挣扎？我的研究让我相信有三个原因：时尚、亿万富翁和人口数据)”可知，文章在首段通过设问即回答的方式呈现了文章的主旨，即“讲述一些博物馆繁荣发展而另一些却举步维艰的原因”。由此可知，What Causes the Financial Challenges of Museums?(是什么导致了博物馆的财务挑战？)适合作本文最佳标题。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。 “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold” is another. ____36____is a third. What do they have in common？They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value. The message is that we should value ourselves for who we are—accept our shortcomings and stop judging ourselves against our imperfections. But it’s easier said than done. Many people still feel insecure about themselves and their appearance because it may not measure up to the standard of perfection. ___37___ Learn to accept praise. ___38___ Don’t push it away or play it down. And praise others too. If you think someone looks nice，or someone has a good idea，tell them. It can lift them up. ____39____We’re surrounded by these perfect images of what it is to be beautiful. That comparing only creates，a standard we think we need to pursue and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren't up to the standard. Appreciate your body for what it can do—walking, yoga, playing sport or otherwise. You can be an incredible human regardless of your shape or size. Attend the gym and realize how strong and capable your body is, even though it may be fat. Finally, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight, but don't give up. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. ___40___Love what you look like. A. “Birds of a feather flock together.” B. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds” C. When someone says something nice, embrace it D. So there are some ways to help you to be more popular E. Be certain about who you are and what you want as a person. F. Don’t compare your body to others', particularly celebrities. G. So what can a person do to improve their own body positivity? 【答案】36. B 37. G 38. C 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章告诉我们外貌不能决定价值，并介绍了提高自己身体的积极性的四种方法。 【36题详解】 根据前文““Don’t judge a book by its cover”, the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold” is another.（俗话说:“不要以貌取人”。“闪光的未必都是金子”是另一句。）”以及后文“They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value.（它们提醒我们，在决定某物的价值时，外观不应该是最重要的因素。）”可知，划线句仍是关于不能凭外观决定价值的谚语。B选项““Fine feathers do not make fine birds””（“人不可貌相。”）符合题意，故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据结合下文提到的几种提高的方法可知，划线句目的是引出下文提高身体积极性的方法。G选项“So what can a person do to improve their own body positivity?”（那么一个人可以做些什么来提高自己身体的积极性呢?）符合题意，可以引出下文。故选G项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Learn to accept praise.（学会接受表扬。）”可知，本段讲述的是要接受别人的夸赞。C选项“When someone says something nice, embrace it”（当有人说好话的时候，拥抱它）符合题意，故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“That comparing only creates，a standard we think we need to pursue and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren't up to the standard.（这种比较只会创造一个我们认为需要追求的标准，如果我们达不到标准，就会感到失望。）”可知，本段是讲我们不能和完美身材的人作比较。F选项“Don’t compare your body to others', particularly celebrities.”（不要拿自己的身材和别人比较，尤其是名人。）符合题意，故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Finally, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you.（最后，唯一能真正影响你身体积极性的人是你自己。）”以及下文“Love what you look like.（爱你自己的样子）”可知，我们要了解自己，并就自己想成为什么样的人做出决定。E选项“e certain about who you are and what you want as a person.”（确定你是谁，你想要什么样的人。）符合题意，故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was 40, with two adorable children and a caring husband.

Amazon Rainforest Tour A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you’ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest. Machu Picchu Tour This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones. Cusco Tour Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Stay in a local hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go shopping at the local markets. Lake Titicaca Tour Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new highway connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants from the lake. So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries — old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline. 21. What is special about the Machu Picchu Tour? A. People can explore the rainforest with a local guide. B. People can stay with a local Uros family on an island. C. People can enjoy the plants and animals unique to the forest. D. People can know about the Incas’ dry stone method of building. 22. Which tour would you recommend to people who enjoy local Indian culture? A Amazon Rainforest Tour. B. Machu Picchu Tour. C. Cusco Tour. D. Lake Titicaca Tour. 23. Where can you most probably read the passage? A. On a science website. B. In a travel brochure. C. In an environmental report. D. In a biology magazine. B “Can we eat this one, Dad?” my four-year-old daughter, Alicia, asks. We’re on one of our Thursday adventures, searching the nearby woods for eatable mushrooms. She’s pointing at a bright-red cap covered with white dots. I pull out my handy mushroom-identification app, which notes that Amanita muscaria, while eatable if prepared properly, is also a known hallucinogen (致幻剂). I have a firm “tell them the truth and be as precise as possible” philosophy and explain what the app says, and that I don’t think our Thursday adventures are ready to get quite that adventurous yet. Watching your kids learn new skills is extraordinarily rewarding, but I’ve experienced more personal growth than I have at any other point in my life. Last year, after a winter of practicing skiing on the green tracks for beginners each week, Alicia was french-frying her way down blues and even attempted her first black. That month also witnessed me visiting the mountain more times than in the 15 years combined and I’ve got myself a partner for life. It’s not all easy—but sometimes that’s the point. Alicia practices the violin every day, and although she enjoys it, even 15 minutes of practice can upset her. The trick, I’ve found, is to let her watch me try to get better at something, too. I start taking piano lessons at 41 years old with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then improve, she’ll understand that things don’t come easy, even for grown-ups. I know there’s going to be a time when I’ll end up on the sideline cheering her on as she finds her own passions. I’m okay with this, and I’m hoping that by then she’ll carry the joy of practice and knowledge through life. 24. What does the father imply by saying “I’ve got myself a partner for life.”? A. It is rewarding to learn new skills. B. Skiing has become his lifelong hobby. C. He will explore more with his daughter. D. His daughter will accompany him forever. 25. Why does the father start learning to play the piano? A. To prove it is never too old to learn. B. To set a good example for his daughter. C. To experience the joy of piano practice. D. To share with his daughter musical knowledge. 26. Which of the following can best describe the father? A. Rigid and humorous. B. Cautious and inspiring. C. Creative and thoughtful. D. Ambitious and patient. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Thrill of the Skill B. Practice Makes Perfect C. Like Father, Like Daughter D. The Power of Knowledge C It’s never too late to get into science fiction. While science fiction, or sci-fi, often asks that most powerful question “What if?” —— it also deals with “This, now”: reflecting it, questioning it and satirizing (讽刺) it. Science fiction can act at once as a glimpse into our imaginary future while holding a mirror up to our current state of society. Indeed, it can act as a warning for the present to avoid a terrifying future or as a blueprint for future technology. Science fiction can inspire us to live better today so that we can live better lives tomorrow. As Scientific Americans noted, “Science fiction can remind us of … wonder and hope. But it also sends us a warning —— to think about the potential influences of our findings, beyond our idealistic dreams.” Thanks to its brilliant creators, sci-fi becomes the perfect genre to ask the greatest questions that humans dare to ask and broaden the concepts of what is possible in the universe. Who are we and what can we become? Can technology make the world a better place? What will tomorrow bring —— and what can we do today to make that a reality? The genre of sci-fi can push the boundaries of what we think is possible, like the legendary submarine mentioned in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea far before any such vehicle existed. Or it can warn us of a near-future impacted by biotechnology, as in the MaddAddam trilogy. Sci-fi can even imagine how Earth responds to first contact with aliens, a focus of The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. Sci-fi and its creators know no limits to what can be imagined. Anything is possible. As science fiction grows in popularity, more books are being written, and more movies and TV shows are adapting these works for the screen. An adaptation of Dune is slated for a 2021 release, and The Three-Body Problem as well as MaddAddam are also in development. The medium of film and television has brought science fiction to life and continues to inspire — or scare — viewers with visions of the future. 28. What can science fiction act as? A. A mirror of reflecting “What if” B. A wonder of science technology C. A vision of the future D. A tool of broadening all concepts 29. How does the author describe the topic of the 5th paragraph? A. By giving examples B. By listing statistics C. By making comparisons D. By classifying facts 30. How many sci-fi novels are mentioned in the text? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To honor those brilliant science fiction creators B. To think about the potential influences of sci-fi C. To inspire or scare viewers with visions of the future D. To encourage readers to get started with science fiction D Americans clearly love their museums. One of the most famous, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), saw a record 6.5 million visitors in 2015. But record attendance doesn't necessarily translate into record revenue (收益). Last month, the Met said it was trying to erase a US $10 million budget deficit. Meanwhile, one of its competitors, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), was abundant in cash, but only about three million people stopped by in 2015. Why do some museums grow stronger while others struggle? My research leads me to believe there are three reasons: fashion, billionaires and demographics (人口数据). First, underlying the Met's financial challenges is the problem with the acquisitions (收购) policy. Recent directors of the Met did not add much to the museum's modern collection. The argument was that museums such as the MoMA were already providing such works in their collections and that the acquisition of contemporary art by living artists was problematic and risky. However, given the fact that museum-goers increasingly favor contemporary art, the revenue of the Met will likely fall if it isn't able to keep up with the tastes of the customers. And by the time it might recognize this, it's already too late to do much about it because the costs to acquire the in-demand art is sky-high. This leads to a second critical issue-the changing distribution of income and its effects on museum finance and operation. We are living in a boom period for contemporary art. The number of auctions and art fairs has grown enormously to accommodate this growing market. In a world with about 1,800 billionaires, it only takes a relative few to drive high-end art prices to astronomical levels. Works by the German artist Gerhard Richter have generated $1.2 billion in sales in recent years. The soaring prices mean museums simply can't keep up and must usually depend on donations to assemble the best works, or they're priced out. Moreover, billionaires themselves are increasingly setting up their own private museums, further distancing the ability of public museums to get the good stuff. A third interrelated problem is that demographic issues have put pressure on the revenue side. Unemployment, early retirements and the aging of the population in the US have contributed to increased attendance at museums. You might think it's a good thing, but more traffic means higher costs, and when those additional visitors don't result in more revenue, profitability goes down. This is because of the longstanding movement toward making museums “free” by having individuals, government or businesses “sponsor” the cost. But when that support gets reduced by budget costs or another reason, museums must either cover the cost themselves or lose support by suddenly charging fees. There is evidence that attendance rises when economic growth slows, but that's also when those “sponsors” are more likely to begin to disappear. Museums will certainly continue to exist and provide us with invaluable insights into our culture. But they must exist under economic principles, and it'd be wise for their administrators to consider the economies in their calculations. 32. According to the author, ________. A. MoMA saw a rise in donation due to its increased attendance B. the Met failed to respond to the artistic tastes of modern visitors C. the Met considered works of the living artists as questionable D. MoMA added to its modern collection despite the budget deficit 33. What can we infer from the passage? A. Billionaires control art auctions to price out public museums. B. The boom of modern art will lead visitors to private museums. C The increase in visitors can hurt the profitability of museums. D. Economic slowdowns result in a weakened interest in museums. 34. What is the author's attitude towards the future of museums in the US? A. Pessimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Negative. 35. Which is the best title of the passage? A. How can Museums Boost Revenues? B. Should Museums Charge Entrance Fees? C. Will Museums Survive in a Fast-changing World? D. What Causes the Financial Challenges of Museums? 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。 “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, the popular saying goes. “All that glitters is not gold” is another. ____36____is a third. What do they have in common？They remind us that something’s appearance should not be the most important thing when determining its value. The message is that we should value ourselves for who we are—accept our shortcomings and stop judging ourselves against our imperfections. But it’s easier said than done. Many people still feel insecure about themselves and their appearance because it may not measure up to the standard of perfection. ___37___ Learn to accept praise. ___38___ Don’t push it away or play it down. And praise others too. If you think someone looks nice，or someone has a good idea，tell them. It can lift them up. ____39____We’re surrounded by these perfect images of what it is to be beautiful. That comparing only creates，a standard we think we need to pursue and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren't up to the standard.

Attend the gym and realize how strong and capable your body is, even though it may be fat. Finally, the only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you. Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight, but don't give up. Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. ___40___Love what you look like. A. “Birds of a feather flock together.” B. “Fine feathers do not make fine birds” C. When someone says something nice, embrace it D. So there are some ways to help you to be more popular E.
