Robert Taylor talks about his art show
Like all children, I was always getting myself and the kitchen table in a mess when I first took an interest in painting. Unlike many kids, who give up activities like art for other subjects when they go through school, I continued painting throughout my childhood. Now, after years of enjoyment, I’ve finally decided to display some of my works by holding an show at Glebe Street library.
I’ve never had any formal art training. When I was trying to decide what I should study at university, art as a subject never entered my head. I always thought my parents wanted me to follow a subject that would be useful when I was looking for a job, so I ended up taking a business course.
And during my time at university, I seldom painted. It wouldn’t have been easy to paint anyway as I lived in school and had very little space. I kept an interest in art though and visited local exhibitions (展览) whenever I could, but that was about it. It was later in my thirties while I was working that I discovered my love of the activity again. Since then I’ve made a point of spending at least one evening a week painting.
However, my works have only ever been seen by trusted friends. They’ve always given me plenty of support and encouragement. But I’ve always wondered what strangers would think. Maybe they could give me an honest opinion of my ability. The library has offered me a room for the show. They’ve asked me to supply questionnaires about the event and I’ve included a section for visitors’ comments about the works. I’m very much looking forward to reading these opinions.
4. What can we know about the writer from paragraph 1?
A. He kept painting in his childhood.
B. He has held several great art shows.
C. He liked cooking when he was a child.
D. He gave up other subjects for art in school.
5. Why did the writer choose a business course instead of art in university?
A. He had no formal art training.
B. His parents forced him to do so.
C. The business course helps in job-hunting.
D. Jobs in business were well-paid.
6. What did the writer do about art in university?
A. He painted a lot in school. B. He visited art exhibitions.
C. He organized art activities. D. He did part-time jobs about art.
7. Which of the following words best describe the writer?

C. Positive and warm-hearted. D. Determined and talented.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D

A new study into ladybirds (瓢虫) has suggested that not enough attention has been given to these spotty insects, which are important pest (害虫) controllers. Recently, their survival has come under threat (威胁), so researchers are calling for citizen scientists (volunteer members of the public who help with scientific research) to help work out how to protect them. There are more than 6,000 species of ladybird around the world, but their populations are dropping fast.
Ladybirds help to protect plants, including food crops, by eating smaller insects, which feed on plants and can do harm to them. The ladybird study was done by an international group of experts, including researchers from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. It shows that not enough is known about ladybirds and how they are dealing with threats such as climate change, pollution and changes in the use of land. The study points out that while projects to save other insects such as bees — have been helpful for ladybirds, more specific research is needed.
The study recommends involving more citizen scientists in recording ladybird observations, and creating insect-friendly habitats. “Everyone can make a difference and help to protect ladybirds and other insects,” says Roy. “We need to act fast and act together.”
To help with their survival, try not to get rid of small insects from gardens, so that ladybirds have enough food. You could plant flowers with lots of pollen (花粉) and avoid cutting back old stems and clearing leaves, which are natural habitats for ladybirds in the cold months.
8. Why are ladybirds important?
A. They have high scientific value. B. They can predict climate changes.
C. They help protect plants from pests. D. They are food resources for some insects.
9. What can we learn from the ladybird study?
A. There’re still mysteries about ladybirds.
B. Recent projects do little good to ladybirds.
C. How ladybirds deal with threats in nature.
D. Why the population of ladybirds is dropping fast.
10. What can citizen scientists do to protect ladybirds?
A. They can help create suitable habitats for ladybirds.
B. They can kill the insects which live in their gardens.
C. They can recommend places for ladybird observation.
D. They can clean up their gardens and plant more flowers.
11 What is the purpose of the text?
A. To explain why ladybirds are important.
B. To introduce the findings of a new study.
C. To share opinions on doing scientific research.
D. To call for immediate environmental protection.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文的文体是说明文。文章主要介绍了瓢虫作为重要的害虫控制者,其生存正受到威胁,研究人员呼吁公民科学家参与保护瓢虫的研究,并提出了一些保护瓢虫的建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study into ladybirds (瓢虫) has suggested that not enough attention has been given to these spotty insects, which are important pest (害虫) controllers.(一项关于瓢虫的新研究表明,人们对这些斑点虫没有给予足够的重视,而这些斑虫是重要的害虫控制者)”以及第二段“Ladybirds help to protect plants, including food crops, by eating smaller insects, which feed on plants and can do harm to them.(瓢虫以较小的昆虫为食,有助于保护植物,包括粮食作物。较小的昆虫以植物为食,对植物有害)”可知,瓢虫有助于保护植物免受害虫侵害,所以很重要。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The ladybird study was done by an international group of experts, including researchers from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. It shows that not enough is known about ladybirds and how they are dealing with threats such as climate change, pollution and changes in the use of land. The study points out that while projects to save other insects such as bees — have been helpful for ladybirds, more specific research is needed.(对瓢虫的研究是由一个国际专家小组完成的,其中包括来自英国生态和水文中心的研究人员。它表明,人们对瓢虫以及它们如何应对气候变化、污染和土地利用变化等威胁的了解还不够。该研究指出,虽然拯救其他昆虫(如蜜蜂)的项目对瓢虫有帮助,但还需要更具体的研究)”可知,关于瓢虫还有很多未解之谜。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The study recommends involving more citizen scientists in recording ladybird observations, and creating insect-friendly habitats. “Everyone can make a difference and help to protect ladybirds and other insects,” says Roy. “We need to act fast and act together.”(该研究建议让更多的公民科学家参与记录瓢虫的观察,并创造对昆虫友好的栖息地。“每个人都可以有所作为,帮助保护瓢虫和其他昆虫,”罗伊说。“我们需要迅速行动,共同行动。”)”可知,公民科学家可以为瓢虫创造合适的栖息地来保护瓢虫。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently, their survival has come under threat (威胁), so researchers are calling for citizen scientists (volunteer members of the public who help with scientific research) to help work out how to protect them. There are more than 6,000 species of ladybird around the world, but their populations are dropping fast.(最近,它们的生存受到了威胁,因此研究人员呼吁公民科学家(帮助科学研究的公众志愿者)帮助研究如何保护它们。世界上有6000多种瓢虫,但它们的数量正在迅速下降)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要是介绍一项新研究的发现。故选B项。
D
The desert of Abu Dhabi is an extremely dry place with very little water. The plants and animals in the desert must adapt to (适应) this tough condition. It has been found that many plants have special ways to store water or withstand high temperatures.
Recently, researchers in Abu Dhabi’s desert found a plant called the Athel tamarisk. This tree can thrive there and actually grow up to 18 meters tall. The tree seems to use salt crystals (结晶体) on its leaves to pull water from the air.
After a researcher noticed water appearing on these crystals, her team recorded videos of the plants. Later, they found out why the tree can survive in such a dry and salty desert. The tree gets rid of extra salt by producing salt crystals onto its leaves. However, this also helps the plant pull moisture (水分) from the air. This is a useful skill in extremely dry environments. The findings were reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The team examined salt crystals on the plant’s leaves. They found more than 10 different kinds of salt. Most of the larger salt crystals simply fall from the leaves. But they also found small crystals of lithium sulfate (硫酸锂). These small crystals stay on the leaves and take in water from the air. When the team added colored water to salty leaves, the water stuck to the crystals, and then went into the plant’s leaves. This proves that the crystals help the plant collect water.
Hopefully, the discovery could help people in dry places to collect moisture from the air, or even promote rain, the team says.
12. What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Die out. B. Stand straight. C. Break down. D. Grow well.
13. How does the Athel tamarisk pull water from the air?
A. By removing air inside the plant.
B. By producing salt crystals on its leaves.
C. By growing up to 18 meters tall.
D. By changing the shapes of its leaves.
14. Why did the researchers add colored water to salty leaves?
A. To compare different kinds of salt.
B. To examine the structure of tree leaves.
C. To prove salt crystals help collect water.
D. To find out how much water the tree takes in.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Water Found in Abu Dhabi’s Desert
B. New Discoveries about the Secrets of Desert
C. A Plant in the Desert Pulls Water from the Air
D. Trees Grow Well in Terrible Weather Conditions
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,介绍了阿布扎比沙漠中的一种植物——柽柳,它能在叶子上产生盐晶体从空气中吸收水分,研究人员通过实验证明了这一点,并且希望这一发现能帮助干旱地区的人们从空气中收集水分或促进降雨。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“This tree can…there and actually grow up to 18 meters tall.(这种树能在那里……,实际上能长到18米高)”,可知树能长到18米高,可推理出这种树在那里(沙漠里)生长得很好,所以thrive的意思是“生长得好”,D选项“Grow well”符合,故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The tree gets rid of extra salt by producing salt crystals onto its leaves. However, this also helps the plant pull moisture (水分) from the air.(这种树通过在叶子上产生盐晶体来去除多余的盐分。然而,这也有助于植物从空气中吸收水分)”可知,柽柳通过在叶子上产生盐晶体从空气中吸收水分,故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When the team added colored water to salty leaves, the water stuck to the crystals, and then went into the plant’s leaves. This proves that the crystals help the plant collect water(当研究小组向含盐的叶子中加入有色水时,水附着在晶体上,然后进入植物的叶子。这证明了晶体有助于植物收集水分)”可知,研究人员向含盐的叶子中加入有色水是为了证明盐晶体有助于收集水分,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The desert of Abu Dhabi is an extremely dry place with very little water. The plants and animals in the desert must adapt to (适应) this tough condition. It has been found that many plants have special ways to store water or withstand high temperatures.(阿布扎比的沙漠是一个极其干燥的地方,水资源非常匮乏。沙漠中的动植物必须适应这种恶劣的环境条件。人们发现,许多植物都有特殊的蓄水或耐高温的方式)”、第三段“The tree gets rid of extra salt by producing salt crystals onto its leaves. However, this also helps the plant pull moisture (水分) from the air.(这种树通过在叶子上产生盐晶体来去除多余的盐分。然而,这也有助于植物从空气中吸收水分)”以及“Hopefully, the discovery could help people in dry places to collect moisture from the air, or even promote rain, the team says.( 研究小组表示,希望这一发现能帮助干旱地区的人们从空气中收集水分,甚至促进降雨)”可知,文章主要讲述了阿布扎比沙漠中的柽柳这种植物能从空气中吸收水分的特性,C选项“A Plant in the Desert Pulls Water from the Air(沙漠中的一种植物从空气中吸收水分)”表达的含义能够概括文章主要内容,故选C项。

【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:中国现在有15个这样的村庄,在全世界数量最多。根据下文“in the whole world(在全世界)”可知此处说的是在全世界范围内比较,应用形容词最高级highest,表示“最高的”,故填highest。
【37题详解】

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
阅读下面短文,并按要求完成相应任务。
The gym was filled with noises — the bounce of basketballs, the creak of the wooden floor, and the hum of the teammates talking. It was game day, and my mind was in a mess. I should have been focused, ready, but my mind kept racing to places I didn’t want it to go.
For weeks, I’d been carrying the weight of something — anxiety disorder. It wasn’t the diagnosis (诊断) that bothered me, but the fear of what people would think if they knew. I didn’t want anyone to see how badly I was struggling.
I tried to shake the feeling and focus on the game.
“Eliot,” came a voice from behind me. It was Coach Rivera. I straightened up, trying to look like I was prepared, but it was hard. I could feel the familiar tension in my chest.
“You good?” He asked, his tone calm, but there was something else in it — concern, maybe, or an unspoken understanding. “I’m fine,” I said, forcing a smile that felt tight. I could tell he wasn’t buying it.
“Look, you’ve been different lately,” he said quietly, stepping closer. “I know something’s going on with you. You don’t have to hide it from me.” His eyes locked onto mine. My heart raced. I wanted to say something — anything to avoid the conversation — but the words wouldn’t come. There was no denying it — Coach Rivera had seen through me.

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者在游戏日因焦虑症而内心混乱,以及教练Rivera察觉到作者的异常并试图与其交谈的情景。
【46题详解】
①考查名词。句意:比赛日的前几周,我被诊断出患有焦虑症。空前是介词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,根据第二段“For weeks, I’d been carrying the weight of something — anxiety disorder.”可知,作者是被诊断出患有焦虑症,anxiety disorder意为“焦虑症”符合语境。故填anxiety。
②考查名词。句意:我把这件事藏在心里,怕别人把我当成怪人或病人。空前介词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,根据第二段“It wasn’t the diagnosis that bothered me, but the fear of what people would think if they knew.”可知,作者害怕别人知道自己有焦虑症,fear意为“害怕”符合语境。故填fear。
③考查动词。句意:坐在体育馆里,我被各种各样的噪音分散了注意力,无法控制自己的思想。空前是情态动词,所以空处应填动词原形,根据第一段“I should have been focused, ready, but my mind kept racing to places I didn’t want it to go.”可知,作者无法控制自己的思绪,control意为“控制”符合语境。故填control。
④考查形容词。句意:我努力让自己更专注于比赛。空处修饰空前的宾语myself,所以应填形容词作宾语补足语,根据第三段“I tried to shake the feeling and focus on the game.”可知,作者努力让自己更专注于比赛,所以focused意为“注意力集中的”符合语境。故填focused。
⑤考查名词。句意:Rivera教练出于担心问我是否还好,但我试着假装我很好。空前是介词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,根据倒数第二段““You good?” He asked, his tone calm, but there was something else in it — concern, maybe, or an unspoken understanding.”可知,Rivera教练出于担心问我是否还好,concern意为“担心”符合语境。故填concern。
⑥考查动词。句意:Rivera教练出于担心问我是否还好,但我试着假装我很好。空前的to是 不定式的标志,所以空处应填动词原形,根据第四段“I straightened up, trying to look like I was prepared, but it was hard.”可知,作者试着假装没事,所以pretend意为“假装”符合语境。故填pretend。
⑦考查名词。句意:我发现很难摆脱心中的紧张。空前是定冠词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,根据第四段“I could feel the familiar tension in my chest.”可知,作者很难摆脱心中的紧张,所以tension意为“紧张”符合语境。故填tension。
⑧考查形容词。句意:当Rivera教练劝我对他诚实时,我的心跳加快了。空前是系动词,所以空处应填形容词作表语,根据最后一段““I know something’s going on with you. You don’t have to hide it from me.” His eyes locked onto mine.”可知,教练劝我对他诚实,所以honest意为“诚实的”符合语境。故填honest。
⑨考查动词。句意:我想避免谈话,但说不出话来。空前的to是不定式的标志,所以空处应填动词原形,根据最后一段“I wanted to say something — anything to avoid the conversation — but the words wouldn’t come.”可知,作者想避免谈话,所以avoid意为“避免”符合语境。故填avoid。
⑩考查动词。句意:我想避免谈话,但说不出话来。本句是but连接的并列句,后句缺少谓语,所以空处应填动词,根据最后一段“I wanted to say something — anything to avoid the conversation — but the words wouldn’t come.”可知,作者想避免谈话,但说不出话来,所以fail意为“失败”符合语境,根据wanted可知,用一般过去时。故填failed。
47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“The gym was filled with noises — the bounce of basketballs, the creak of the wooden floor, and the hum of the teammates talking. It was game day, and my mind was in a mess. I should have been focused, ready, but my mind kept racing to places I didn’t want it to go.(体育馆里充满了各种噪音——篮球的弹跳声、木地板的嘎吱声和队友们谈话的嗡嗡声。那天是比赛日,我的脑子一片混乱。我本应该集中精力,做好准备,但我的思绪一直在往我不希望它去的地方跑)”以及第二段“For weeks, I’d been carrying the weight of something — anxiety disorder.(几个星期以来,我一直背负着某种东西的重担——焦虑症)”可知,由于焦虑症,他无法集中精力参加比赛。故回答:He couldn’t concentrate his mind on the competition because of the anxiety disorder.
【48题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段““Look, you’ve been different lately,” he said quietly, stepping closer. “I know something’s going on with you. You don’t have to hide it from me.” His eyes locked onto mine.(“你看,你最近不太一样了。”他平静地说,走近了一点。“我知道你有点不对劲。你不必瞒着我。”他的眼睛盯着我)”可推知,Rivera教练将会帮助作者,他可能会鼓励艾略特分享他的烦恼,帮助他释放紧张。故回答:Coach Rivera. He would encourage Eliot to share his worries and help release his tension.
【49题详解】
开放性问题。纵观全文可知,作者因为被诊断为焦虑症,害怕别人知道,而无法集中精力参加比赛,Rivera教练发现了他的不同,来安慰他,并且安抚作者紧张的情绪,所以作者最后应是会卸下心中的重担,变得专注,在比赛中表现出色。故回答: He would remove the weight on his mind, became focused and gave a good performance in the game.

Robert Taylor talks about his art show
Like all children, I was always getting myself and the kitchen table in a mess when I first took an interest in painting. Unlike many kids, who give up activities like art for other subjects when they go through school, I continued painting throughout my childhood. Now, after years of enjoyment, I’ve finally decided to display some of my works by holding an show at Glebe Street library.
I’ve never had any formal art training. When I was trying to decide what I should study at university art as a subject never entered my head. I always thought my parents wanted me to follow a subject that would be useful when I was looking for a job, so I ended up taking a business course.
And during my time at university, I seldom painted. It wouldn’t have been easy to paint anyway as I lived in school and had very little space. I kept an interest in art though and visited local exhibitions (展览) whenever I could, but that was about it. It was later in my thirties while I was working that I discovered my love of the activity again. Since then I’ve made a point of spending at least one evening a week painting.
However, my works have only ever been seen by trusted friends. They’ve always given me plenty of support and encouragement. But I’ve always wondered what strangers would think. Maybe they could give me an honest opinion of my ability. The library has offered me a room for the show. They’ve asked me to supply questionnaires about the event and I’ve included a section for visitors’ comments about the works. I’m very much looking forward to reading these opinions.
4. What can we know about the writer from paragraph 1?
A. He kept painting in his childhood.
B. He has held several great art shows.
C. He liked cooking when he was a child.
D. He gave up other subjects for art in school.
5. Why did the writer choose a business course instead of art in university?
A. He had no formal art training.
B. His parents forced him to do so.
C. The business course helps in job-hunting.
D. Jobs in business were well-paid.
6. What did the writer do about art in university?
A. He painted a lot in school. B. He visited art exhibitions.
C. He organized art activities. D. He did part-time jobs about art.
7. Which of the following words best describe the writer?
A. Hardworking but shy. B. Creative but unlucky.
C. Positive and warm-hearted. D. Determined and talented.
C
A new study into ladybirds (瓢虫) has suggested that not enough attention has been given to these spotty insects, which are important pest (害虫) controllers. Recently, their survival has come under threat (威胁), so researchers are calling for citizen scientists (volunteer members of the public who help with scientific research) to help work out how to protect them. There are more than 6,000 species of ladybird around the world, but their populations are dropping fast.
Ladybirds help to protect plants, including food crops, by eating smaller insects, which feed on plants and can do harm to them. The ladybird study was done by an international group of experts, including researchers from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. It shows that not enough is known about ladybirds and how they are dealing with threats such as climate change, pollution and changes in the use of land. The study points out that while projects to save other insects such as bees — have been helpful for ladybirds, more specific research is needed.
The study recommends involving more citizen scientists in recording ladybird observations, and creating insect-friendly habitats. “Everyone can make a difference and help to protect ladybirds and other insects,” says Roy. “We need to act fast and act together.”
To help with their survival, try not to get rid of small insects from gardens, so that ladybirds have enough food. You could plant flowers with lots of pollen (花粉) and avoid cutting back old stems and clearing leaves, which are natural habitats for ladybirds in the cold months.
8. Why are ladybirds important?
A. They have high scientific value. B. They can predict climate changes.
C. They help protect plants from pests. D. They are food resources for some insects.

D
The desert of Abu Dhabi is an extremely dry place with very little water. The plants and animals in the desert must adapt to (适应) this tough condition. It has been found that many plants have special ways to store water or withstand high temperatures.
Recently, researchers in Abu Dhabi’s desert found a plant called the Athel tamarisk. This tree can thrive there and actually grow up to 18 meters tall. The tree seems to use salt crystals (结晶体) on its leaves to pull water from the air.
After a researcher noticed water appearing on these crystals, her team recorded videos of the plants. Later, they found out why the tree can survive in such a dry and salty desert. The tree gets rid of extra salt by producing salt crystals onto its leaves. However, this also helps the plant pull moisture (水分) from the air. This is a useful skill in extremely dry environments. The findings were reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The team examined salt crystals on the plant’s leaves. They found more than 10 different kinds of salt. Most of the larger salt crystals simply fall from the leaves. But they also found small crystals of lithium sulfate (硫酸锂). These small crystals stay on the leaves and take in water from the air. When the team added colored water to salty leaves, the water stuck to the crystals, and then went into the plant’s leaves. This proves that the crystals help the plant collect water.
Hopefully, the discovery could help people in dry places to collect moisture from the air, or even promote rain, the team says.
12 What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Die out. B. Stand straight. C. Break down. D. Grow well.
13. How does the Athel tamarisk pull water from the air?
A. By removing air inside the plant.
B. By producing salt crystals on its leaves.
C. By growing up to 18 meters tall.
D. By changing the shapes of its leaves.
14. Why did the researchers add colored water to salty leaves?
A. To compare different kinds of salt.
B. To examine the structure of tree leaves.
C. To prove salt crystals help collect water.
D. To find out how much water the tree takes in.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Water Found in Abu Dhabi’s Desert
B. New Discoveries about the Secrets of Desert
C. A Plant in the Desert Pulls Water from the Air
D Trees Grow Well in Terrible Weather Conditions

阅读下面短文,并按要求完成相应任务。
The gym was filled with noises — the bounce of basketballs, the creak of the wooden floor, and the hum of the teammates talking. It was game day, and my mind was in a mess. I should have been focused, ready, but my mind kept racing to places I didn’t want it to go.
For weeks, I’d been carrying the weight of something — anxiety disorder. It wasn’t the diagnosis (诊断) that bothered me, but the fear of what people would think if they knew. I didn’t want anyone to see how badly I was struggling.
I tried to shake the feeling and focus on the game.
“Eliot,” came a voice from behind me. It was Coach Rivera. I straightened up, trying to look like I was prepared, but it was hard. I could feel the familiar tension in my chest.
“You good?” He asked, his tone calm, but there was something else in it — concern, maybe, or an unspoken understanding. “I’m fine,” I said, forcing a smile that felt tight. I could tell he wasn’t buying it.
“Look, you’ve been different lately,” he said quietly, stepping closer. “I know something’s going on with you. You don’t have to hide it from me.” His eyes locked onto mine. My heart raced. I wanted to say something — anything to avoid the conversation — but the words wouldn’t come. There was no denying it — Coach Rivera had seen through me.
