B A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50 m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56. 12 seconds at an official event in Queensland - a new record for the 100-104 age category (范畴) . He broke the old record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be recognized by the sport’s governing body. Corones, who was upset for Harrison’s record because he would turn 100 in April, said he was “quite pleased” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been flooded by the “cheering” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only new member, had been specially staged for him to challenge the record. Corones was a keen (着迷的) swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War Ⅱ, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired (退休) . Then he started swimming again for exercise. Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. on average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gyms. “At this age it takes a while to get going… you get tired much more easily. But if you do it properly, the rewards (回报) are huge,” he said. Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the present mark of 03:23.10, which was also set by Harrison. “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am greatly looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said. 14. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A. Lead in the topic of the text. B. Stress the importance of age. C. Tell who John Harrison is. D. Show the main idea of the text. 15. How did corones feel about his record ? A. Honorable. B. Excited. C. Amazed. D. Tired. 16. When did corones begin to learn swimming again? A. At the age of 80. B. In his childhood. C. At the age of up to 100. D. During the world war Ⅱ. 17. What can we conclude from the text? A. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. B. One good turn deserves another. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. It’s never too late to learn. C Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey — rats will soon be man’s new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs, why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat . How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. when this happens, the rat’ brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’ s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell university, New York, says,“ Robots, noses don’ t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity! The “rat project ” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’ t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course). 18. Why will rats become popular in the world earthquake capitals? A. They can get into small spaces. B. They can take the place of man’s rescue jobs. C. They can find food for survivors trapped in buildings. D. They can get the place of survivors trapped in buildings. 19. How can rescuers judge a person who is alive? A. By the noise made by the rat. B. By the rat’s unusual behaviour. C. By the signal sent by the radio on the rat. D. By the smell given off by the person trapped. 20. What do we know from the text? A. People are happy to see a rat in a building. B. The “rat project” has been completed already. C. People still use dogs and robots in rescue work. D. Rats have replaced dogs in searching for people. 21. What is the best title for the text? A. Rules in the Earthquake B. The Role Rats will play in the Earthquake C. Ways of Rescuing people D. The Reason for not using Dogs D A narcissist is a person suffering from a particular mental (精神的) disorder that is characterized by a sense of self-importance without pity for other people, and a continuous need for attention and admiration. There are two types of narcissists. Weak narcissism is one type that is pronounced by unsafe feelings, low self-respect (自尊) and sensitivity to criticism (批评). This kind of narcissism makes people easier to be refused and makes it hard for them to build long-lasting relationships. They might also have trouble with stress and get easily unknown what to do. When someone shows a mouth-filling sense of self-importance in an unbelievable visible and showy manner, they are considered strong narcissists. Moreover, they often give up relationships that would be beneficial (有利的) to them in other ways in order to keep their inflated (膨胀的) feeling of self-worth. Everyone puts themselves or their needs first to some degree, but narcissists do so far more often. People who deal with narcissists may find this to be confusing and hazardous. Narcissistic people react strongly to even the smallest refusal. They will put the responsibility on others rather than own up to their own errors. Living with a narcissistic personality might make you feel as though you are being lied to, or used as a chess piece too often. They are ready to say or do everything to get what they want or what they believe they should get. Narcissists are self-centred and too concerned with their personal importance. They often overstate their success and importance in order to hide their discomfort and weak sense of identity. Narcissists show little consideration for the needs and feelings of others. If it doesn’t help them in some manner, they would not be sorry for harming someone else. Dealing with narcissists in life can be challenging, but there are many things that help you in managing them effectively. 22. Who may be a weak narcissist according to the text? A. The person that seldom puts himself/herself first. B. The person that can’t deal with pressure. C. The person that shows off himself/herself a lot. D. The person that has a strong sense of self-importance. 23. What does the underlined word “ hazardous” mean in paragraph 4? A. Helpful. B. Unique. C. Funny. D. Harmful. 24. What can be known about narcissistic people? A. They can take up responsibilities actively. B. They have a strong will to achieve goals. C. They will feel sorry for harming others. D. They are sensitive (敏感) to others’ refusal. 25. What is the text probably continued with? A. The challenges doctors meet in management. B. The strategies to change narcissists. C. How to treat narcissists successfully. D. How to deal with narcissists in life. 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2分, 满分 10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 。 Most people have the good fortune to be raised by caring parents, who give them not only their love but also their time spent in doing various things for them.

The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56. 12 seconds at an official event in Queensland - a new record for the 100-104 age category (范畴) . He broke the old record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be recognized by the sport’s governing body. Corones, who was upset for Harrison’s record because he would turn 100 in April, said he was “quite pleased” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been flooded by the “cheering” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only new member, had been specially staged for him to challenge the record. Corones was a keen (着迷的) swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War Ⅱ, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired (退休) . Then he started swimming again for exercise. Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. on average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gyms. “At this age it takes a while to get going… you get tired much more easily. But if you do it properly, the rewards (回报) are huge,” he said. Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the present mark of 03:23.10, which was also set by Harrison. “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am greatly looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said. 14. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A. Lead in the topic of the text. B. Stress the importance of age. C. Tell who John Harrison is. D. Show the main idea of the text. 15. How did corones feel about his record ? A. Honorable. B. Excited. C. Amazed. D. Tired. 16. When did corones begin to learn swimming again? A. At the age of 80. B. In his childhood. C. At the age of up to 100. D. During the world war Ⅱ. 17. What can we conclude from the text? A. Laziness in youth spells regret in old age. B. One good turn deserves another. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. It’s never too late to learn. 【答案】14. A 15. B 16. A 17.

The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56. 12 seconds at an official event in Queensland - a new record for the 100-104 age category (范畴) . He broke the old record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be recognized by the sport’s governing body. (一名99岁的澳大利亚游泳运动员似乎打破了他所在年龄组50米自由泳的世界纪录。新的世界纪录保持者George Corones的成绩是56分。在昆士兰州的一场官方比赛中，12秒——这是100-104岁年龄组的新纪录。他以35秒的成绩打破了由英国游泳运动员John Harrison在2014年创造的1分31秒19的旧纪录。现在这项运动的管理机构将予以承认。)”和下文分析 George Corones对这次打破纪录的态度 、准备以及接下来的打算可知 , 作者撰写第一段的目的是引出文本的主题。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Corones, who was upset for Harrison’s record because he would turn 100 in April, said he was “quite pleased” and “over the world” by the result.

(Corones年轻时热衷于游泳，但直到80岁才重新开始学习游泳。)”可知，科罗内斯年轻时热衷于游泳，但中途放弃了，直到80岁才重新开始学习游泳。故选A。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’m not a young man by any means, but I am greatly looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said. (他说：“无论如何，我都不年轻了，但我非常期待，并相信我能做得很好。”)”和全文内容可知 , 99 岁的澳大利亚游泳运动员 George Corones在80岁时才重新开始学习游泳，打破了他所在年龄段的 50 米自由泳世界纪录，并且他积极乐观，努力锻炼，决定再次挑战100米自由泳纪录。所以作者通过讲述 Corones的故事告诉了我们活到老，学到老。故选D。 C Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey — rats will soon be man’s new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs, why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat . How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. when this happens, the rat’ brain gives a signal (信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’ s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell university, New York, says,“ Robots, noses don’ t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity! The “rat project ” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’ t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course). 18. Why will rats become popular in the world earthquake capitals? A. They can get into small spaces. B. They can take the place of man’s rescue jobs. C. They can find food for survivors trapped in buildings. D. They can get the place of survivors trapped in buildings. 19. How can rescuers judge a person who is alive? A. By the noise made by the rat. B. By the rat’s unusual behaviour. C. By the signal sent by the radio on the rat. D. By the smell given off by the person trapped. 20. What do we know from the text? A. People are happy to see a rat in a building. B. The “rat project” has been completed already. C. People still use dogs and robots in rescue work. D. Rats have replaced dogs in searching for people. 21. What is the best title for the text? A. Rules in the Earthquake B. The Role Rats will play in the Earthquake C. Ways of Rescuing people D. The Reason for not using Dogs 【答案】18. D 19. C 20. C 21. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了老鼠未来能在地震中所扮演的角色。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey — rats will soon be man’s new best friends.(但在世界地震之都——日本、洛杉矶，土耳其——将很快成为人类最好的新朋友)”和第二段“Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.(狗能拯救生命。它们帮助救援人员找到活着的人。但是狗很大，它们无法进入狭小的空间。因此，现在一项新的研究项目正在使用一种较小的动物来拯救生命：老鼠)”可知，在世界地震之都，老鼠将变得受欢迎，因为它们可以找到被困在建筑物中的幸存者的位置。故选D。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.(这些信号被发送到它背上的一个小型无线电设备上，然后救援人员就能追踪无线电信号。当老鼠的大脑活动跳跃时，救援人员就知道有人还活着)”可知，救援人员可以通过老鼠身上的无线电信号来判断一个人是否还活着。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第二段“What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs, why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives.(地震后会发生什么？我们派出搜救犬，为什么？因为它们能闻到人的味道。狗能拯救生命)”和文章倒数第二段“Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better.(虽然已经有机器人可以做这项工作，但老鼠做得更好)”可推知，人们在救援工作中仍然使用狗和机器人。故选C。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey — rats will soon be man’s new best friends.(但在世界地震之都——日本、洛杉矶，土耳其——将很快成为人类最好的新朋友)”和下文可知，这篇文章阐述的是关于老鼠未来能在地震中所扮演的角色。B项“老鼠在地震中扮演的角色”为最佳标题，故选B。 D A narcissist is a person suffering from a particular mental (精神的) disorder that is characterized by a sense of self-importance without pity for other people, and a continuous need for attention and admiration. There are two types of narcissists. Weak narcissism is one type that is pronounced by unsafe feelings, low self-respect (自尊) and sensitivity to criticism (批评). This kind of narcissism makes people easier to be refused and makes it hard for them to build long-lasting relationships. They might also have trouble with stress and get easily unknown what to do. When someone shows a mouth-filling sense of self-importance in an unbelievable visible and showy manner, they are considered strong narcissists. Moreover, they often give up relationships that would be beneficial (有利的) to them in other ways in order to keep their inflated (膨胀的) feeling of self-worth. Everyone puts themselves or their needs first to some degree, but narcissists do so far more often. People who deal with narcissists may find this to be confusing and hazardous. Narcissistic people react strongly to even the smallest refusal. They will put the responsibility on others rather than own up to their own errors. Living with a narcissistic personality might make you feel as though you are being lied to, or used as a chess piece too often. They are ready to say or do everything to get what they want or what they believe they should get. Narcissists are self-centred and too concerned with their personal importance. They often overstate their success and importance in order to hide their discomfort and weak sense of identity. Narcissists show little consideration for the needs and feelings of others. If it doesn’t help them in some manner, they would not be sorry for harming someone else. Dealing with narcissists in life can be challenging, but there are many things that help you in managing them effectively. 22. Who may be a weak narcissist according to the text? A The person that seldom puts himself/herself first. B. The person that can’t deal with pressure. C. The person that shows off himself/herself a lot. D. The person that has a strong sense of self-importance. 23. What does the underlined word “ hazardous” mean in paragraph 4? A. Helpful. B. Unique. C. Funny. D. Harmful. 24. What can be known about narcissistic people? A. They can take up responsibilities actively. B. They have a strong will to achieve goals. C They will feel sorry for harming others. D. They are sensitive (敏感的) to others’ refusal. 25. What is the text probably continued with? A. The challenges doctors meet in management. B. The strategies to change narcissists. C. How to treat narcissists successfully. D. How to deal with narcissists in life. 【答案】22. B 23. D 24. D 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是自恋型人格的两种类型及其特征，探讨与自恋者相处的挑战，并提供应对策略。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They might also have trouble with stress and get easily unknown what to do.(他们也可能有压力，很容易不知道该做什么。)”可知，轻微型自恋者可能会有压力问题，很容易不知所措，由此可知，轻微自恋者是不能应对压力的人。故选B项。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线单词前的“Everyone puts themselves or their needs first to some degree, but narcissists do so far more often.(每个人都在某种程度上把自己或自己的需求放在第一位，但自恋者做得更多。)”可知，自恋者更会经常将自己的需求放在首位，结合划线单词前的“People who deal with narcissists may find this to be confusing…(与自恋者打交道的人可能会感到困惑和……)”可知，与自恋者打交道的人会觉得很困惑和有害的，所以，划线单词的意思与“有害的”意义相近。故选D项。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Narcissistic people react strongly to even the smallest refusal.(自恋的人对哪怕是最小的拒绝都反应强烈。)”可知，自恋者对很小的拒绝也会表现得强烈，说明自恋者对被拒绝很敏感。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段“Dealing with narcissists in life can be challenging, but there are many things that help you in managing them effectively.(在生活中与自恋者打交道可能会很有挑战性，但有很多方法可以帮助你有效地管理他们。)”可知，下文将阐述在生活中用什么方法与自恋者打交道，从而帮助你有效地与他们相处。故选D项。 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2分, 满分 10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 。 Most people have the good fortune to be raised by caring parents, who give them not only their love but also their time spent in doing various things for them.
