But there are always a few who like to arrive early so we’ll expect the first people at 7:15. The food will be served at around 8:10. The hosts have emailed me the menu. The activities will last for two hours. We were expecting a band, but this has been cancelled. So the hosts know a comedian who will be there.

Suddenly, while setting the table, I heard a huge crash from the second floor. It was the kind of heart-stopping noise that immediately struck fear into a mother’s heart. My seven-year-old son Mike began screaming for help, and I raced up the stairs without even putting down the dinner fork I held in my hand. Entering the room, I found my little son Tom trapped under a five-drawer wooden dresser. I could hear crying as I ran toward him. As I leaned over, I saw the terror in his eyes. I pulled the large dresser off him. At that moment, I felt I could move mountains. I was fearful to look but quickly tried to find out how badly he was hurt. I dialed 911 and began to pray. Before the ambulance arrived, although I was in a chaotic (混乱的) situation with both my sons in tears, I tried to be focused and controlled. I felt a strong presence keeping me clear-headed. After testing in the emergency room, it was determined that he could return home. The doctor said, “Wow, he sure was lucky!” Back home, my husband straightened up the bedroom and found what we believe to be my son’s guardian angel —only this angel had large wooden ears instead of wings. Earlier that year, my husband’s brother and his wife were on an African mission (任务) trip and brought my son a small, hand-carved elephant as a special gift. My husband explained the elephant had taken the main impact of the dresser. The carved animal was only inches wide, but those few precious inches gave my son the space he needed to avoid terrible injury. I believe that although it was my family’s mission to visit Africa, it was also the mission of that carved elephant to save my son. 24. What happened to Tom? A. He was badly injured in the crash. B. He was frightened to scream for help. C. He was stuck under a large dresser. D. He travelled to Africa with his uncle and aunt. 25. What played an extremely important role in saving Tom? A. His brother’s timely help. B. Quick action of his mother. C. Proper treatment of the doctor. D. The hand-carved elephant. 26. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Calm. B. Hard-working C. Confident. D. Strong-willed. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. The True Pray B. The Good Luck C. The Unexpected Experience D. The Magical Strength 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者小儿子 Tom被压在木制梳妆台下，被一个木雕小象守护而免于严重受伤的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Entering the room, I found my little son Tom trapped under a five-drawer wooden dresser. (走进房间，我发现我的小儿子Tom被困在一个五层抽屉的木制梳妆台下。)”可知，Tom被卡在一个大梳妆台下面。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段“The carved animal was only inches wide, but those few precious inches gave my son the space he needed to avoid terrible injury. (雕刻的动物只有几英寸宽，但这几英寸给了我儿子避免严重伤害所需的空间。)”可知，手工雕刻的大象在救Tom的过程中发挥了极其重要的作用。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题，由文章第二段“I dialed 911 and began to pray. Before the ambulance arrived, although I was in a chaotic (混乱的) situation with both my sons in tears, I tried to be focused and controlled. I felt a strong presence keeping me clear-headed.(我拨打了911，开始祈祷。在救护车到来之前，尽管我的情况很混乱，我的两个儿子都哭了，但我努力集中注意力，控制自己。我感觉到一股强大的力量使我头脑清醒。)”可知，作者很冷静。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“My husband explained the elephant had taken the main impact of the dresser. The carved animal was only inches wide, but those few precious inches gave my son the space he needed to avoid terrible injury. I believe that although it was my family’s mission to visit Africa, it was also the mission of that carved elephant to save my son.(我丈夫解释说，大象受到了梳妆台的主要影响。雕刻的动物只有几英寸宽，但这几英寸给了我儿子避免严重伤害所需的空间。我相信，尽管访问非洲是我家人的使命，但拯救我儿子也是那头雕刻的大象的使命。)”以及上文可知，文章主要讲述作者小儿子 Tom被压在木制梳妆台下，被一个木雕小象守护而免于严重受伤的故事。所以D项The Magical Strength(神奇的力量)符合语境，代指小象意外守护小儿子Tom的力量。故选D项。 C Veery, a small songbird only weighing about 30 grams, will migrate thousands of miles south —from North America, across the ocean, to South America in summer. No doubt it’s a perilous journey. Some of those birds may never make it if a hurricane(飓风) happens. But a study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018 showed that when the veeries begin to leave the north is closely related to the coming of the Atlantic hurricane season. The little birds try not to be destroyed by the possible hurricanes. “During bad years, the birds would shorten their breeding (繁殖) season in the north and head down to South America earlier than usual. In this way, most of the birds survived. It makes sense that they have figured it out somehow.” says Christopher Heckscher, an ecologist at Delaware State University. Exactly, how the veeries “predict” hurricane seasons may partly result from small changes in climate like El Niio (厄尔尼诺) events. During El Niio years, the ocean water is warmer than average, and produces winds that more effectively weaken hurricanes, bringing down the number of hurricanes. The little birds are usually smart enough to sense this and make a wise decision to migrate. With these changes, rainfall in veery habitat (栖息地) may differ. When more rain falls, more fruit could be available. This change in diet may help the veery return to North America in a better shape and also enjoy a longer breeding season back home. Heckscher says although it’s too early to determine what the birds are predicting for future Atlantic hurricane seasons, veeries have been just as good, and in one case better than meteorological (气象) models in predicting hurricanes. 28. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Dangerous. B. Unfamiliar. C. Beneficial. D. Powerful. 29. What have scientists discovered about the veery migration? A. It brings the climate change. B. It explains why hurricanes happen. C. It often occurs later than other migrant birds’. D. It is influenced by the possible hurricane season. 30. What may happen to veeries during El Niio years? A. They seek for more food. B. They meet more hurricanes. C. They don't fly back to the north. D. They become stronger for breeding. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Veery: Beating Climate Models B. Veery: A Natural Predictor of Hurricanes C. El Nino: Destroying Vecries' Migration D. Christopher Heckscher: A Famous Ecologist 【答案】28 A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种叫Veery的小鸣禽，它们会在夏天从北美向南迁徙到达南美洲，并且它们可以预测飓风，努力避免被飓风摧毁。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“Some of those birds may never make it if a hurricane (飓风) happens. (如果飓风来了，其中一些鸟可能永远也活不下来。)”可知，飓风对于这些鸟儿来说很危险，从而推知划线词句“No doubt it’s a perilous journey.”意为“ 毫无疑问，这是一次危险的旅程”，即划线部分意思是“危险的”。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But a study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018 showed that when the veeries begin to leave the north is closely related to the coming of the Atlantic hurricane season. The little birds try not to be destroyed by the possible hurricanes. (但2018年发表在《科学报告》杂志上的一项研究表明，这种小鸣禽开始离开北方的时间与大西洋飓风季节的到来密切相关。这些小鸟努力不被可能到来的飓风摧毁。)”可知，科学家们发现这种小鸣禽的迁徙受到可能的飓风季节的影响。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“During El Niio years, the ocean water is warmer than average, and produces winds that more effectively weaken hurricanes, bringing down the number of hurricanes. The little birds are usually smart enough to sense this and make a wise decision to migrate. With these changes, rainfall in veery habitat(栖息地) may differ. When more rain falls, more fruit could be available. This change in diet may help the veery return to North America in a better shape and also enjoy a longer breeding season back home. (在厄尔尼诺年份，海水比平均温度高，产生风更有效地削弱了飓风，减少了飓风的数量。这种小鸟通常很聪明，能感觉到这一点，并做出明智的迁徙决定。由于这些变化，每个小鸣禽栖息地的降雨量可能会有所不同。雨水越多，水果就越多。这种饮食上的改变可能会帮助这种小鸣禽以更好的体型返回北美，也可以享受更长的繁殖季节。)”可知，在厄尔尼诺年份，这种小鸣禽为了繁殖而变得更强壮。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Veery, a small songbird only weighing about 30 grams, will migrate thousands of miles south —from North America, across the ocean, to South America in summer.( Veery ，一种体重只有30克左右的小鸣禽，会在夏天从北美向南迁徙数千英里，跨越海洋，到达南美洲。)”和最后一段中“Heckscher says although it's too early to determine what the birds are predicting for future Atlantic hurricane seasons, veeries have been just as good, and in one case better than meteorological (气象) models in predicting hurricanes. (Heckscher说，虽然现在确定这些鸟类对未来大西洋飓风季节的预测还为时过早，但在预测飓风方面，它们的预测效果一样好，在某种情况下甚至比气象模型更好。)”可知，本文介绍了一种叫Veery的小鸣禽，它们会在夏天从北美向南迁徙到达南美洲，并且它们可以预测飓风，努力避免被飓风摧毁。B项“Veery：飓风的自然预测器”符合文章主题，故选B项。 D San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 32. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for? A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches. C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate. 33. What challenge is the waterfront facing? A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels. C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities. 34. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. 35. What can be learned from the text? A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed. C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了旧金山的滨水区如今面临海平面上升的威胁，同时许多城市的滨水地标正面临着由人类活动引起的气候变化带来的洪水和海平面上升的日益严重的威胁。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. (它美丽的古老地标，如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥，在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克·伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》)”可知，旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise.(2016年，美国国家历史保护信托基金会将该市的部分海岸线列入了美国最濒危的历史遗迹名单，部分原因是海平面上升的威胁)”可知，滨水区面临海平面上升的威胁。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.(近年来，沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计，到2060年，水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右，到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺)”可推知，第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.(现在，旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久海岸线)”可知，解决方案正在考虑之中。故选D。 七选五 Silence provides our mind and body with much-needed rest.

You can spend a least 15-30 minutes every day surrounding yourself with green spaces. You can either do this early in the morning before starting your daily routine or in the evening after finishing your day. Don’t look at your smartphones while spending time in nature. Just be with yourself, and replace the noises of everyday life with the comforting sounds of birds. ______38______. _______39_______ We spend a lot of time talking every day. _____40_____ But how can we stay silent and just listen? You can do that by being mindful of your thoughts. Do not speak for speaking, but because your speech has some value to a conversation. Allow yourself to listen carefully to others and respond appropriately. A. Just listen to others. B. Talk less and listen more. C. This way, you can enjoy the power of silence. D. You don’t necessarily have to go to faraway places. E. That’s why it’s of great importance to find a spot where you can sit relaxed. F. Often, we speak without carefully considering our thoughts or weighing our words. G. A good way to take a break from our tech-driven lives is to schedule daily offline time. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. B 40. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，沉默为我们的身心提供了急需的休息，它对大脑也有好处，对于如何将沉默的力量运用到你的日常生活中，文章介绍了三个方法。 【36题详解】 由小标题“Spend some time offline every day (每天花点时间离线)”可知下面两段作者建议人们每天需要花点时间离线，下文“You can start with 10-15 minutes each day and increase it depending on your needs. (你可以从每天10-15分钟开始，并根据你的需要增加时间)”也讲明了可按自身需求选择离线时长，该空内容应与安排离线时间相关，G选项“从科技驱动的生活中解脱出来的一个好方法是安排每天的离线时间。”切合语境。故选G项。 【37题详解】 由小标题“Go out into nature (走进大自然)”可知下面两段作者建议人们每天需要花点时间走进大自然，再结合下文“Head out to the nearest park or forest and spend time in nature. (前往最近的公园或森林，在大自然中度过时光)”可知，该空内容应与贴近大自然相关，且应该说明不需要去很远的地方，才能引出下文作者举的例子：前往最近的公园或森林，D选项“你不一定要去很远的地方。”切合语境。故选D项。 【38题详解】 本文主要讲了如何将沉默的力量添加到你的日常生活中的三种方法，小标题“Go out into nature (走进大自然)”可知方法之一是人们每天需要花点时间走进大自然。上文“You can either do this early in the morning before starting your daily routine or in the evening after finishing your day. Don’t look at your smartphones while spending time in nature. Just be with yourself, and replace the noises of everyday life with the comforting sounds of birds. (你可以在早上开始日常生活前做这件事，也可以在晚上结束一天的工作后做这件事情。在大自然中度过时光时，不要看你的智能手机。只要和自己在一起，用鸟的叫声代替日常生活中的噪音)”讲的是具体如何花时间走进大自然的方法，该空处于本部分结尾处，应说明这一做法的意义：享受沉默的力量，C选项“这样，你就可以享受沉默的力量。”切合语境。故选C项。 【39题详解】 该空选取小标题，需总结下文。由下文“We spend a lot of time talking every day. (我们每天都花很多时间交谈)”和“But how can we stay silent and just listen? You can do that by being mindful of your thoughts. Do not speak for speaking, but because your speech has some value to a conversation. Allow yourself to listen carefully to others and respond appropriately. (但我们怎么能保持沉默，只是倾听？你可以通过注意自己的想法来做到这一点。不要为了说话而说话，而是因为你的演讲对谈话有一定的价值。让自己认真倾听他人的意见，并做出恰当的回应)”可知，作者认为要把沉默的力量添加到日常生活中，需要认真倾听他人的意见，不要为了说而说，而是在适当的时机说，B选项“少说多听。”切合语境。故选B项。 【40题详解】 由小标题“Talk less and listen more. (少说多听)”，上文“We spend a lot of time talking every day. (我们每天花很多时间聊天)”以及下文“But how can we stay silent and just listen? (但我们怎么能保持沉默，只是倾听呢？)”可知，上文提到了花很多时间聊天，故本句要说明其中存在的问题，才能呼应小标题讲少说多听，引出下文讲倾听，F选项“我们说话时往往没有仔细考虑自己的想法或斟酌自己的言辞。”切合语境。故选F项。 三、完形填空（15分） No one is born a winner.

Vanier Park, 1100 Chestnut St. C. 9020 Bridgeport Road D. 3031 No.3 Road B One evening, I was preparing dinner. Suddenly, while setting the table, I heard a huge crash from the second floor. It was the kind of heart-stopping noise that immediately struck fear into a mother’s heart. My seven-year-old son Mike began screaming for help, and I raced up the stairs without even putting down the dinner fork I held in my hand. Entering the room, I found my little son Tom trapped under a five-drawer wooden dresser. I could hear crying as I ran toward him. As I leaned over, I saw the terror in his eyes. I pulled the large dresser off him. At that moment, I felt I could move mountains. I was fearful to look but quickly tried to find out how badly he was hurt. I dialed 911 and began to pray. Before the ambulance arrived, although I was in a chaotic (混乱的) situation with both my sons in tears, I tried to be focused and controlled. I felt a strong presence keeping me clear-headed. After testing in the emergency room, it was determined that he could return home. The doctor said, “Wow, he sure was lucky!” Back home, my husband straightened up the bedroom and found what we believe to be my son’s guardian angel —only this angel had large wooden ears instead of wings. Earlier that year, my husband’s brother and his wife were on an African mission (任务) trip and brought my son a small, hand-carved elephant as a special gift. My husband explained the elephant had taken the main impact of the dresser. The carved animal was only inches wide but those few precious inches gave my son the space he needed to avoid terrible injury. I believe that although it was my family’s mission to visit Africa, it was also the mission of that carved elephant to save my son. 24. What happened to Tom? A. He was badly injured in the crash. B. He was frightened to scream for help. C. He was stuck under a large dresser. D. He travelled to Africa with his uncle and aunt. 25. What played an extremely important role in saving Tom? A. His brother’s timely help. B. Quick action of his mother. C. Proper treatment of the doctor. D. The hand-carved elephant. 26. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Calm. B. Hard-working C. Confident. D. Strong-willed. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. The True Pray B. The Good Luck C The Unexpected Experience D. The Magical Strength C Veery, a small songbird only weighing about 30 grams, will migrate thousands of miles south —from North America, across the ocean, to South America in summer. No doubt it’s a perilous journey. Some of those birds may never make it if a hurricane(飓风) happens. But a study published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018 showed that when the veeries begin to leave the north is closely related to the coming of the Atlantic hurricane season. The little birds try not to be destroyed by the possible hurricanes. “During bad years, the birds would shorten their breeding (繁殖) season in the north and head down to South America earlier than usual. In this way, most of the birds survived. It makes sense that they have figured it out somehow.” says Christopher Heckscher, an ecologist at Delaware State University. Exactly, how the veeries “predict” hurricane seasons may partly result from small changes in climate like El Niio (厄尔尼诺) events. During El Niio years, the ocean water is warmer than average, and produces winds that more effectively weaken hurricanes, bringing down the number of hurricanes. The little birds are usually smart enough to sense this and make a wise decision to migrate. With these changes, rainfall in veery habitat (栖息地) may differ. When more rain falls, more fruit could be available. This change in diet may help the veery return to North America in a better shape and also enjoy a longer breeding season back home. Heckscher says although it’s too early to determine what the birds are predicting for future Atlantic hurricane seasons, veeries have been just as good, and in one case better than meteorological (气象) models in predicting hurricanes. 28. What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Dangerous. B. Unfamiliar. C. Beneficial. D. Powerful. 29. What have scientists discovered about the veery migration? A. It brings the climate change. B. It explains why hurricanes happen. C. It often occurs later than other migrant birds’. D It is influenced by the possible hurricane season. 30. What may happen to veeries during El Niio years? A. They seek for more food. B. They meet more hurricanes. C. They don't fly back to the north. D. They become stronger for breeding. 31. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Veery: Beating Climate Models B. Veery: A Natural Predictor of Hurricanes C. El Nino: Destroying Vecries' Migration D. Christopher Heckscher: A Famous Ecologist D San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason. Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe. In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco. “The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century. Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first. 32. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for? A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches. C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate. 33. What challenge is the waterfront facing? A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels. C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities. 34. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise. C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection. 35. What can be learned from the text? A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed. C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration. 七选五 Silence provides our mind and body with much-needed rest. It is also beneficial for the brain.
