When they were unable to free the car from the mud, they began to worry. The park’s waterways are usually full of crocodiles (鳄鱼), and the couple had already seen plenty of crocodile tracks running through the mud. Not only that, they had only brought a few bottles of water and little food for the trip. Nulgit and Johnson tried to fall asleep in their car—but as the sun set and the nearby water levels began to rise, they feared that the high water would bring the crocodiles closer to their car. The young couple then moved towards dry land and hoped for rescue. They even used a piece of wood to write the word “HELP” into the mud along with a line pointing towards their car. Thankfully, the couple had told Nulgit’s parents where they were going and when they expected to be home before they left. So when they failed to return the very same night, his worried mother called the police. Rescuers began searching the area by airplane the next morning. Upon hearing the sound of the plane, the couple started a fire so the rescuers would see the smoke. As the plane drew closer to the smoke, the rescuers successfully located the couple after they caught sight of the “HELP” sign pointing towards the car. Nulgit and Johnson were very thankful for the rescue. They now plan on putting together a set of emergency survival tools for the car. 4. Why did the young couple move to dry land? A.

The rescuers began searching the area the moment they received the call. D. After being rescued, the couple bought some survival tools for car at once. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述的是一对年轻夫妇在野外遇险又脱险的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Nulgit and Johnson tried to fall asleep in their car—but as the sun set and the nearby water levels began to rise, they feared that the high water would bring the crocodiles closer to their car. The young couple then moved towards dry land and hoped for rescue.(纳尔吉特和约翰逊试图在他们的车里睡着，但随着太阳落山，附近的水位开始上升，他们担心高水位会让鳄鱼靠近他们的车。这对年轻夫妇随后向陆地移动，希望能得到救援)”可知，这对年轻夫妇搬到陆地上是因为他们害怕鳄鱼会来他们的车。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They even used a piece of wood to write the word “HELP” into the mud along with a line pointing towards their car.(他们甚至用一块木头在泥里写了“救命”两个字，还用一条线指着他们的车)”可知，夫妻俩用在淤泥里写“Help”一词的方法来求救。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Thankfully, the couple had told Nulgit’s parents where they were going and when they expected to be home before they left. So when they failed to return the very same night, his worried mother called the police.(幸运的是，这对夫妇在离开前告诉了纽尔吉特的父母他们要去哪里，以及他们预计什么时候回家。因此，当他们当天晚上没有回来时，他担心的母亲报了警)”可知，男方的妈妈在当晚就报了警。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Upon hearing the sound of the plane, the couple started a fire so the rescuers would see the smoke. As the plane drew closer to the smoke, the rescuers successfully located the couple after they caught sight of the “HELP” sign pointing towards the car.(听到飞机的声音后，这对夫妇点燃了火，这样救援人员就能看到烟雾。随着飞机越来越靠近浓烟，救援人员在看到指向汽车的“救命”标志后，成功地找到了这对夫妇)”可知，B选项“这对夫妇成功地通过烟雾引起了救援人员的注意”正确。故选B。 C The Nobel economics prize was awarded on Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender (性别) gap in the labor market. The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates (获奖者). She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men. “I’ve always been an optimist. But when I looked at the numbers, I found in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press. “Although Goldin’s research does not offer solutions, it allows policymakers to deal with the problem,” said Randi Hjalmarsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “She explains the source of the gap, and how it’s changed over time and how it changes with the stage of development. By finally understanding the problem and calling it by the right name, we will find a solution.” Goldin, 77, told AP that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace. Women often have to take jobs that allow them to be on call at home—work that often pays less. “Goldin tried to fill in missing data for her research,” Hjalmarsson said. For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. “So Goldin had to be a detective to find novel data sources and creative ways to use them to measure these unknowns.” 8. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Men gained higher levels of education than women. B. The women’s pay caught up to men’s 200 hundreds years ago. C. Many women scientists have won the Nobel economics prize these years. D. At the late 20th century, American women labor force participation rate was the top. 9. Which of the following is right? A. Randi Hjalmarsson didn’t agree with Goldin. B. Most of the women usually prefer to be housewives. C. What happens in family life often mirrors that in the workplace. D. Goldin’s research offered the policymakers solutions to the problem. 10. Which is a challenge that Claudia Goldin faced in her research? A. Lack of experience. B. Lack of support. C. Lack of money. D. Lack of data. 11. What’s the best title of the passage? A. A Solution to the Gender Gap in the Labor Market B. Claudia Goldin—a Great Economics Data Detective C. The Third Woman Who Wins the Nobel Prize in the World D. Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Harvard University Woman Professor 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是哈佛大学教授Claudia获得诺贝尔经济学奖的事迹。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But when I looked at the numbers, I found in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press. (但当我看到这些数字时，我发现在20世纪90年代，我们的女性劳动力参与率是世界上最高的，而现在它不是世界上最高的，”Goldin告诉美联社。)”可知，在20世纪末，美国妇女的劳动参与率是最高的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一个句子“Goldin, 77, told AP that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace. (77岁的Goldin告诉美联社，人们家里发生的事情反映了工作场所发生的事情。)”可知，人们在家庭中发生的情况往往在工作中有相同的反映。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Goldin tried to fill in missing data for her research,” Hjalmarsson said. For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. (Goldin试图为她的研究填补缺失的数据，” Hjalmarsson说。在历史上的某些时期，系统的劳动力市场记录并不存在，即使存在，关于女性的信息也缺失了。)”可知，她研究需要的很多数据缺失，或者是有关女性部分的数据缺失，所以她不得不像侦探一样去寻找新的数据并运用。即Claudia Goldin在她的研究中面临的挑战是缺乏数据。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Nobel economics prize was awarded on Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender (性别) gap in the labor market. (周一，诺贝尔经济学奖被授予哈佛大学教授克劳迪娅·戈尔丁，以表彰她在促进人们对劳动力市场性别差距的理解方面所做的研究。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了今年的诺贝尔经济学奖由哈佛大学的一位女教授获得。故D“Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Harvard University Woman Professor(诺贝尔经济学奖授予哈佛大学女教授)”为最佳选项。其他选项中均有错误信息。故选D。 D Playing tennis might add years to your life, according to a new study of Danish men and women. The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down. They also lived longer than people who took part in activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling. The results raise interesting questions about the role that social interactions might play in enlarging the benefits of exercise. No one doubts that being physically active improves our health and can extend our longevity (寿命). But whether some activities might be better than others remains in argument. One widely publicized 2017 study of more than 80,000 British men and women found that those who played racket sports like tennis tended to outlive those who jogged. The researchers widened their inquiry and looked at a variety of sports and their associations with life. To start, they turned to the same data resource they had used for the jogging study, the Copenhagen City Heart Study. The study’s participants had all completed health exams and lengthy questionnaires about their lifestyles and whether and how often they took part in some sports common in Denmark, including cycling, swimming, running, tennis, soccer and, perhaps unexpectedly, badminton. According to the data, cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders’ lives, compared to sedentary Danes. Running added 3.2 years while tennis 9.7 years. These associations remained unchanged even when the researchers controlled for people’s education, socioeconomic status and age. “Why and how some sports might add more years to people’s lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study,” says Dr. James O’Keefe, a study co-author. “But we know that social support probably has unique effects on helping people get more benefits from the exercise.” For now, people who run or ride alone might consider finding a group or partner to work out together. “Raising your heart rate is important for health,” he says. “But it looks like connecting with other people is, too.” 12. According to the passage, which activity may help people live longer? A. Cycling. B. Running marathon. C. Swimming. D. Playing badminton. 13. What does the underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Inactive. B. Outgoing. C. Depressed. D. Easygoing. 14. Which may Dr. James O’Keefe recommend according to the last paragraph? A. Exercising alone. B. Working out together. C. Working out regularly. D. Raising one’s heart rate. 15. It is suggested in the passage that ________. A. women who prefer team sports live longer than men B. people’s education and socioeconomic status affect their longevity C. the reason why some sports might add more years to people’s lives is still unknown D. 80,000 Danish men and women participated in the survey 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍的是根据一项新研究发现，打网球或参加其他球类或团体体育运动的人，不仅比长时间久坐的人寿命长，同时也比那些喜欢参加像慢跑、游泳、骑车这类单独完成的运动的人寿命长。这说明社交互动可以放大运动带来的好处，也可以延长人的寿命。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down.(研究发现，经常参加网球或其他球拍运动以及团队运动的成年人比长时间坐着的人寿命更长)”可知，打羽毛球可以帮助人们活得更长。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down.(研究发现，经常参加网球或其他球拍运动以及团队运动的成年人比长时间坐着的人寿命更长)”以及划线词上文“According to the data, cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders’ lives, compared to”可知，数据显示，与久坐不动的丹麦人相比，骑自行车的人的寿命平均延长了3.7年。故“sedentary”是“久坐的”意思，故A项词义最接近。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But it looks like connecting with other people is, too.(但看起来与其他人交流也是如此)”可知，Dr. James O’Keefe建议大家多参加球类等团体运动，因为社交互动可以放大运动带来的好处。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Why and how some sports might add more years to people’s lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study(从这种观察性研究中不可能知道为什么以及如何一些运动可能比其他运动延长人们的寿命)”可知，为什么有些运动可以延长人的寿命的原因还不清楚。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connecting with nature. ____16____ It can improve your immune (免疫) system, lower blood pressure and help with depression. Follow the tips below to experience forest bathing. Find a place where you’re surrounded by trees. The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park. ____17____ Set aside a large amount of time. To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods. ____18____ If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Anyway, the longer the time in the forest, the better. ____19____ The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly. Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you work too hard physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing. Quite often, when we are bathed in the forest, it sends something back to help us make sense of what’s going on in our life. ____20____ You may be surprised by what you discover. A. Aim to reduce heart rate. B. Enjoy sweating in forest bathing. C. Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity. D. But the health benefits will not be great if you don’t stay there longer. E. Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature. F. Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health. G. However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“森林浴”的体验方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connecting with nature.(在森林中度过一段时间的行为被称为shinrin-yoku，意思是在森林的气氛中沐浴。它不是运动、远足或慢跑。它是在自然中并与自然联系)”可知，这里介绍了Forest bathing与自然相关(connecting with nature)，与选项中not only部分的总结对应。后文介绍其好处，与选项中but also部分呼应，F项“Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health.(森林浴不仅是一种探索自然的方式，对你的健康也有好处)”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park.(森林浴的理想场所是在森林里。但如果你住得离公园很远，或者没有办法去那里，任何有很多树和安静空间的地方都可以。你甚至可以从城市公园得到有益的影响)”可知，本段主要介绍了进行Forest bathing的场地问题，G项表示转折，介绍了树林深处散步比在城市公园散步益处明显。G项“However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods.(然而，健康的好处不会像在树林深处散步那么明显)”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods.(要想获得神人的最终奖励，计划在树林里呆上两到六个小时)”可知，这里建议在森林里呆一段时长。选项C中的that amount of time指代前文中的two to six hours，C项“Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity.(森林浴大约这么长的时间有助于提高免疫力)”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 设空处是小标题概括，根据下面的“Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. (森林浴可以让你的神经系统平静下来，降低你的心率和血压)”可知，本段讲述的是森林浴给神经系统带来的好处，A选项在该段中能找到重复词汇reduce heart rate，A项“Aim to reduce heart rate.(目标是降低心率)”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 在前文几条建议的基础上，尾段应该在呼吁行动起来，E选项为祈使句，与后文“You may be surprised by what you discover.(你可能会对你的发现感到惊讶)”一致，E项“Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature.(现在，在森林或公园里找一个地方，呼吸大自然的气味)”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I met my art teacher Ms. J in the seventh grade and she changed me.

Final cuts (裁员) for the school basketball team were over and I was still around. I had a false sense of safety when I went to practice on Monday. When my teammates and I were doing our stretches (伸展运动) as usual, my coach asked me to one side and then told me the last thing I wanted to hear, “Steve, I’ve been thinking about it. There seemed not much progress in your skills, so I’m afraid we aren’t going to need you any more. You can finish out today’s practice if you want.” The whole team had stopped practice and they were staring at me as if they could see through the seemingly brave boy whose heart was actually broken. “That’s okay. Coach,” I said and walked out of the gym into the locker room (更衣室). Alone in the empty locker room, I stood and stared at my locker. Memories of the past training came flooding. How I wished I had worked harder! Suddenly I realized my bag was still in the gym. I didn’t have the courage to go back, so I walked out to the track and up to the top of the bleachers (露天看台). There was an hour and a half left before practice was over. I sat up there and waited. When five o’clock came, I ran through the back door, took my bag and rushed out, just hoping to avoid any of my former teammates. As worried as I was about avoiding my former teammates, I was afraid of having to face my father. I got into the car and he asked, “How was practice?” I said, “Fine,” and kept silent the rest of the ride home. 注意：1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Upon arrival, my father, who obviously noticed something unusual, started the talk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Upon arrival, my father, who obviously noticed something unusual, started the talk. “Steve, you were quiet on the ride home.

B 20-year-old Colen Nulgit and his girlfriend, Shantelle Johnson, had gone out for a daytime fishing trip at Keep River National Park in Australia last week when their car became stuck in some mud (淤泥). When they were unable to free the car from the mud, they began to worry. The park’s waterways are usually full of crocodiles (鳄鱼), and the couple had already seen plenty of crocodile tracks running through the mud. Not only that, they had only brought a few bottles of water and little food for the trip. Nulgit and Johnson tried to fall asleep in their car—but as the sun set and the nearby water levels began to rise, they feared that the high water would bring the crocodiles closer to their car. The young couple then moved towards dry land and hoped for rescue. They even used a piece of wood to write the word “HELP” into the mud along with a line pointing towards their car. Thankfully, the couple had told Nulgit’s parents where they were going and when they expected to be home before they left. So when they failed to return the very same night, his worried mother called the police. Rescuers began searching the area by airplane the next morning. Upon hearing the sound of the plane, the couple started a fire so the rescuers would see the smoke. As the plane drew closer to the smoke, the rescuers successfully located the couple after they caught sight of the “HELP” sign pointing towards the car. Nulgit and Johnson were very thankful for the rescue. They now plan on putting together a set of emergency survival tools for the car. 4. Why did the young couple move to dry land? A.

C The Nobel economics prize was awarded on Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender (性别) gap in the labor market. The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates (获奖者). She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men. “I’ve always been an optimist. But when I looked at the numbers, I found in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press. “Although Goldin’s research does not offer solutions, it allows policymakers to deal with the problem,” said Randi Hjalmarsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “She explains the source of the gap, and how it’s changed over time and how it changes with the stage of development. By finally understanding the problem and calling it by the right name, we will find a solution.” Goldin, 77, told AP that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace. Women often have to take jobs that allow them to be on call at home—work that often pays less. “Goldin tried to fill in missing data for her research,” Hjalmarsson said. For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. “So Goldin had to be a detective to find novel data sources and creative ways to use them to measure these unknowns.” 8. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Men gained higher levels of education than women. B. The women’s pay caught up to men’s 200 hundreds years ago. C. Many women scientists have won the Nobel economics prize these years. D. At the late 20th century, American women labor force participation rate was the top. 9. Which of the following is right? A. Randi Hjalmarsson didn’t agree with Goldin. B. Most of the women usually prefer to be housewives. C. What happens in family life often mirrors that in the workplace. D. Goldin’s research offered the policymakers solutions to the problem. 10. Which is a challenge that Claudia Goldin faced in her research? A. Lack of experience. B. Lack of support. C. Lack of money. D. Lack of data. 11. What’s the best title of the passage? A. A Solution to the Gender Gap in the Labor Market B. Claudia Goldin—a Great Economics Data Detective C. The Third Woman Who Wins the Nobel Prize in the World D. Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Harvard University Woman Professor D Playing tennis might add years to your life, according to a new study of Danish men and women. The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down. They also lived longer than people who took part in activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling. The results raise interesting questions about the role that social interactions might play in enlarging the benefits of exercise. No one doubts that being physically active improves our health and can extend our longevity (寿命). But whether some activities might be better than others remains in argument. One widely publicized 2017 study of more than 80,000 British men and women found that those who played racket sports like tennis tended to outlive those who jogged. The researchers widened their inquiry and looked at a variety of sports and their associations with life. To start, they turned to the same data resource they had used for the jogging study, the Copenhagen City Heart Study. The study’s participants had all completed health exams and lengthy questionnaires about their lifestyles and whether and how often they took part in some sports common in Denmark, including cycling, swimming, running, tennis, soccer and, perhaps unexpectedly, badminton. According to the data, cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders’ lives, compared to sedentary Danes. Running added 3.2 years while tennis 9.7 years. These associations remained unchanged even when the researchers controlled for people’s education, socioeconomic status and age. “Why and how some sports might add more years to people’s lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study,” says Dr. James O’Keefe, a study co-author. “But we know that social support probably has unique effects on helping people get more benefits from the exercise.” For now, people who run or ride alone might consider finding a group or partner to work out together. “Raising your heart rate is important for health,” he says. “But it looks like connecting with other people is, too.” 12. According to the passage, which activity may help people live longer? A. Cycling. B. Running marathon. C. Swimming. D. Playing badminton. 13. What does the underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Inactive. B. Outgoing. C. Depressed. D. Easygoing. 14. Which may Dr. James O’Keefe recommend according to the last paragraph? A. Exercising alone. B. Working out together. C. Working out regularly. D. Raising one’s heart rate. 15. It is suggested in the passage that ________. A. women who prefer team sports live longer than men B. people’s education and socioeconomic status affect their longevity C. the reason why some sports might add more years to people’s lives is still unknown D. 80,000 Danish men and women participated in the survey 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connecting with nature. ____16____ It can improve your immune (免疫) system, lower blood pressure and help with depression. Follow the tips below to experience forest bathing. Find a place where you’re surrounded by trees. The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park. ____17____ Set aside a large amount of time. To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods. ____18____ If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Anyway, the longer the time in the forest, the better. ____19____ The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly. Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you work too hard physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing. Quite often, when we are bathed in the forest, it sends something back to help us make sense of what’s going on in our life. ____20____ You may be surprised by what you discover. A. Aim to reduce heart rate. B. Enjoy sweating in forest bathing. C. Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity. D. But the health benefits will not be great if you don’t stay there longer. E. Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature. F. Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health. G. However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I met my art teacher Ms. J in the seventh grade and she changed me.

Final cuts (裁员) for the school basketball team were over and I was still around. I had a false sense of safety when I went to practice on Monday. When my teammates and I were doing our stretches (伸展运动) as usual, my coach asked me to one side and then told me the last thing I wanted to hear, “Steve, I’ve been thinking about it. There seemed not much progress in your skills, so I’m afraid we aren’t going to need you any more. You can finish out today’s practice if you want.” The whole team had stopped practice and they were staring at me as if they could see through the seemingly brave boy whose heart was actually broken. “That’s okay. Coach,” I said and walked out of the gym into the locker room (更衣室). Alone in the empty locker room, I stood and stared at my locker. Memories of the past training came flooding. How I wished I had worked harder! Suddenly I realized my bag was still in the gym. I didn’t have the courage to go back, so I walked out to the track and up to the top of the bleachers (露天看台). There was an hour and a half left before practice was over. I sat up there and waited. When five o’clock came, I ran through the back door, took my bag and rushed out, just hoping to avoid any of my former teammates. As worried as I was about avoiding my former teammates, I was afraid of having to face my father. I got into the car and he asked, “How was practice?” I said, “Fine,” and kept silent the rest of the ride home. 注意：1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Upon arrival, my father, who obviously noticed something unusual, started the talk. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
