Sunshine and beach means perfect travel on a hot summer day. In fact, there are many colorful beaches in the world. Look at the world’s most colorful beaches here. Which one would you like to choose?
Pink: Pink Sand Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas
Harbor Island is celebrated for its pale pink, coral reef-protected shore. The beach borrows its color from itty-bitty, bright pink microorganisms known as foraminifera (有孔虫), and its sand is always delightfully cool to the touch, so you can walk barefoot without worrying about burning your toes.
Green: Papakolea Beach, Hawaii
Situated near South Point of the island of Hawaii Papakolea Beach is a pretty uncommon sight. The super remote stretch of green sand is carved into the side of Puu Mahana - a cinder cone (火山砾锥) over 49, 000 years old which, thanks to erosion, has tinted the shore with olivine lava.
White: Hyams Beach, New South Wales, Australia
Australia’s Hyams Beach has been deemed the brightest and whitest sand on earth - just consult your Guinness Book of World Records for proof. The sand here is made up of bright white silica, and it is known for its fine texture and pillow-like softness. Not only do visitors get to enjoy great visuals, but they also get to walk on the silkiest sands that they are ever likely to experience.
Red: Kaihalulu Beach, Maui Island, America
Kaihalulu Beach boasts of its magnificent red sand beach. It’s no surprise as to where the color comes from - the beach is surrounded by red cliffs, and the contrast of the blue water against the red landscape is simply stunning.

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
4. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. The author’s father was born in a worker’s family.
B. Those born stupid could not change their life.
C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world.
D. The poor could hardly afford school education.
5. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.
A. one new thing B. a request
C. the news D. some comment
6. It can be learned from the passage that the author________.
A. enjoyed talking about news
B. knew very well about Nepal
C. felt regret about those wasted days
D. appreciated his father’s educational technique
7. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?
A. Continual learning. B. Showing talents.
C. Family get-together. D. Winning Papa’s approval.
8. The author’s father can be best described as ________.
A. an educator expert at training future teachers
B. a parent insistent on his children’s education
C. a participant willing to share his knowledge
D. a teacher strict about everything his students did
C
The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (鬣羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.
“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”
9. What does the underlined word “menace” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Harm. B. Chance. C. Benefit. D. Treasure.
10. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?
A. Protecting animals needs hard work.
B. Zhou was good at feeding wild animal.
C. Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
D. Protecting animals can bring economic development.
11 Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with?
A. Human development should be considered first.
B. We should pay more attention to animal protection.
C. We should consider both the environment and human interests.
D. It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
D
Hurricanes could be lasting longer after they make landfall, and spreading their damage farther inland, a new study suggests, which is a previously undescribed effect of climate change.
The study, published in the journal Nature, analyzed hurricanes that have struck North America from 1967 to 2018. It found that hurricanes making landfall in the 1960s lost 75 percent of their power in the first day after coming ashore, while today a hurricane that strikes land typically decays by about 50 percent in the first day.
The study’s authors claimed rising ocean temperature is the driving force behind the formation of longer-lived hurricanes. They ran four models that simulate (模拟) a hurricane moving over land. In each, they adjusted the temperature of the ocean water underneath the storm. The higher the sea surface temperature was, the researchers found, the more moisture (水汽) a storm carried over land and the longer it lasted. They said if a hurricane is like an engine, the warm ocean water beneath it is like fuel. When ocean water is particularly warm, as it is in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, it can increase pressure on hurricanes. If human-caused climate warming continues, they added, the destructive power of hurricanes—some with 100-plus-mile-per-hour winds and heavy rainfall—could extend farther inland and especially affect ill-equipped communities.
James Kossin, a climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said, “They make a convincing case that the long-lasting hurricane is related to higher ocean temperature, and this can in turn be linked to climate change.”
“I would probably support the opinion that this phenomenon (现象) is possibly happening,” said Dan Chavas, an atmospheric scientist at Purdue University and one of the study’s reviewers. “I think the effect is very real, but the question is how strong the effect is. We still have a long way to go.”
12. What does the underlined word “decays” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Spreads. B. Hits. C. Rises. D. Weakens.
13. How did the researchers mainly conduct the study?
A. By analyzing data and doing experiments.
B. By observing hurricanes and making records.
C. By simulating hurricanes and having discussions.
D. By giving explanations and making comparisons.
14. What do Dan Chavas’s words indicate?
A. Measures should be taken to predict hurricanes.
B. Climate change leads to higher ocean temperature.
C. More research is needed to study this phenomenon.
D. The effect of hurricanes is weakened in inland areas.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To inform readers of a new study.
B. To prepare people for powerful hurricanes.
C. To call for global action on climate change.
D. To warn readers of the danger of global warming.

You don’t realize what a funny word bananas is until you hear it shouted by an eighty-year-old woman.
I work for Mrs. Riley. I buy groceries for her at the supermarket on Nostrand Avenue, and sometimes I dust and sweep her apartment. The best part, though, is taking care of Sam.
Sam is Mrs. Riley’s canary(金丝雀). He’s bright yellow, and he sings all the time. That’s one thing about canaries. They’re always cheerful.
That’s what I’m saving my money for. I’m going to buy a canary. And besides the canary, I have to get a cage and swings (秋千) and toys and food.
“Do you have enough money yet, girl?” Mrs. Riley always shouts at me.
“Not yet,” I shout back. “Soon.”
And she always calls me girl, not Carla. Sometimes I think she doesn’t remember my name.
Last Thursday I ran upstairs to Mrs. Riley’s. She wasn’t in her usual place by the window. She was in bed. She was sick.
“You can’t work for me anymore,” Mrs. Riley said. She coughed. “I have to take medicine, and it costs a lot. I can’t pay you. “
I felt sick to my stomach. How would I find another job? I went over and stuck my finger in Sam’s cage. He hopped on his swing and sang hello.
“I’m sorry that you’re sick,” I shouted to Mrs. Riley.
Then I turned and left.

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ....”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.

The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.
About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015. It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994. Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people. In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.
Months ago, the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf. This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (鬣羚), a kind of protected animal. They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.
However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.
“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”
9. What does the underlined word “menace” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Harm. B. Chance. C. Benefit. D. Treasure.
10. What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?
A. Protecting animals needs hard work.
B. Zhou was good at feeding wild animal.
C. Zhou had a good relationship with local people.
D. Protecting animals can bring economic development.
11. Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with?
A. Human development should be considered first.
B. We should pay more attention to animal protection.
C. We should consider both the environment and human interests.
D. It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.
【答案】9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了动物保护和人们的经济利益是息息相关的。有时它们一致,有时它们相矛盾。我们应处理好两者之间的关系。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a(当地官员解释说,黑熊的数量已经增长到3500只,并且成为了一种……)”以及划线词后文“In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.(在过去的两年里,佛罗里达州至少有四人被熊咬伤)”可知,在过去的两年里,佛罗里达州至少有四人被熊咬伤,说明黑熊对于当地居民来说成了一种危害。故划线词意思是“危害”。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development. A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears. His base also offered jobs to local people.(然而,这些故事并不总是意味着动物保护因为人类的利益而停止,特别是当它与经济发展有关时。一个名叫周伟森的人在广西桂林建立了一个野生动物基地。他拯救了170多只老虎和约300只熊。他的基地还为当地人提供了就业机会)”可知,作者提到周伟森的故事是想告诉我们保护动物可以带来经济发展。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development” said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t push either one to the side, as the future is uncertain.”(牛津大学的英国专家罗伯特·梅说:“对于我们应该更加关注环境还是人类发展这个问题,可能永远不会有一个标准答案。但我们不应该把其中任何一个推到一边,因为未来是不确定的。”)”可知,罗伯特可能会同意我们应该同时考虑环境和人类的利益。故选C。
D
Hurricanes could be lasting longer after they make landfall, and spreading their damage farther inland, a new study suggests, which is a previously undescribed effect of climate change.
The study, published in the journal Nature, analyzed hurricanes that have struck North America from 1967 to 2018. It found that hurricanes making landfall in the 1960s lost 75 percent of their power in the first day after coming ashore, while today a hurricane that strikes land typically decays by about 50 percent in the first day.
The study’s authors claimed rising ocean temperature is the driving force behind the formation of longer-lived hurricanes. They ran four models that simulate (模拟) a hurricane moving over land. In each, they adjusted the temperature of the ocean water underneath the storm. The higher the sea surface temperature was, the researchers found, the more moisture (水汽) a storm carried over land and the longer it lasted. They said if a hurricane is like an engine, the warm ocean water beneath it is like fuel. When ocean water is particularly warm, as it is in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, it can increase pressure on hurricanes. If human-caused climate warming continues, they added, the destructive power of hurricanes—some with 100-plus-mile-per-hour winds and heavy rainfall—could extend farther inland and especially affect ill-equipped communities.
James Kossin, a climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), said, “They make a convincing case that the long-lasting hurricane is related to higher ocean temperature, and this can in turn be linked to climate change.”
“I would probably support the opinion that this phenomenon (现象) is possibly happening,” said Dan Chavas, an atmospheric scientist at Purdue University and one of the study’s reviewers. “I think the effect is very real, but the question is how strong the effect is. We still have a long way to go.”
12. What does the underlined word “decays” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Spreads. B. Hits. C. Rises. D. Weakens.
13. How did the researchers mainly conduct the study?
A. By analyzing data and doing experiments.
B. By observing hurricanes and making records.
C. By simulating hurricanes and having discussions.
D. By giving explanations and making comparisons.
14. What do Dan Chavas’s words indicate?
A. Measures should be taken to predict hurricanes.
B. Climate change leads to higher ocean temperature.
C. More research is needed to study this phenomenon.
D. The effect of hurricanes is weakened in inland areas.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To inform readers of a new study.
B. To prepare people for powerful hurricanes.
C. To call for global action on climate change.
D. To warn readers of the danger of global warming.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了研究者通过分析数据和做实验来进行研究,进而向大家介绍了一项关于飓风的新的研究。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“It found that hurricanes making landfall in the 1960s lost 75 percent of their power in the first day after coming ashore, while today a hurricane that strikes land typically decays by about 50 percent in the first day.(该研究发现,20世纪60年代登陆的飓风在登陆后的第一天就失去了75%的威力,而如今,袭击陆地的飓风通常在登陆后的第一天就会decays约50%的威力)”中连词while、lost 75 percent of their power in the first day和decays by about 50 percent in the first day可知,句中将飓风过去和现在登陆后强度的衰减进行了对比,由此推知划线词decays与上文lost同义,表示“失去、衰落、减弱”,也与D项weaken意思相近。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“analyzed hurricanes that have struck North America from 1967 to 2018. It found that hurricanes making landfall in the 1960s lost 75 percent of their power in the first day after coming ashore, while today a hurricane that strikes land typically decays by about 50 percent in the first day.(分析了1967年至2018年袭击北美的飓风。研究发现,20世纪60年代登陆的飓风在登陆后的第一天就损失了75%的功率,而今天袭击陆地的飓风在登陆后的第一天通常会衰减50%左右)”可知这是在分析数据,以及第三段的“They ran four models that simulate a hurricane moving over land.(他们运行了四个模型来模拟飓风在陆地上移动)”可知研究者主要是通过分析数据和做实验来进行研究的。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I think the effect is very real, but the question is how strong the effect is. We still have a long way to go.(我认为这种影响是非常真实的,但问题是这种影响有多强。我们还有很长的路要走)”可知他的话就是表明了需要更多的研究来研究这一现象。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Hurricanes could be lasting longer after they make landfall, and spreading their damage farther inland, a new study suggests(一项新的研究表明,飓风登陆后可能会持续更长时间,并将其破坏扩展到更远的内陆地区)”以及第二段的“The study, published in the journal Nature, analyzed hurricanes that have struck North America from 1967 to 2018.(这项发表在《自然》杂志上的研究分析了1967年至2018年袭击北美的飓风)”可知这都是在介绍这个研究,所以作者写这篇文章的目的就是告诉读者一项新的研究。故选A。

第三节 读后续写(满分20分)
61. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mrs. Riley and I always shout at each other. I shout because she can’t hear me, and she shouts because she can’t hear herself.
“What do you need from the store?” I’ll cry out.
“Bananas,” she’ll cry out back.
You don’t realize what a funny word bananas is until you hear it shouted by an eighty-year-old woman.
I work for Mrs. Riley. I buy groceries for her at the supermarket on Nostrand Avenue, and sometimes I dust and sweep her apartment. The best part, though, is taking care of Sam.
Sam is Mrs. Riley’s canary(金丝雀). He’s bright yellow, and he sings all the time. That’s one thing about canaries. They’re always cheerful.
That’s what I’m saving my money for. I’m going to buy a canary. And besides the canary, I have to get a cage and swings (秋千) and toys and food.
“Do you have enough money yet, girl?” Mrs. Riley always shouts at me.
“Not yet,” I shout back. “Soon.”
And she always calls me girl, not Carla. Sometimes I think she doesn’t remember my name.
Last Thursday I ran upstairs to Mrs. Riley’s. She wasn’t in her usual place by the window. She was in bed. She was sick.
“You can’t work for me anymore,” Mrs. Riley said. She coughed. “I have to take medicine, and it costs a lot. I can’t pay you. “
I felt sick to my stomach. How would I find another job? I went over and stuck my finger in Sam’s cage. He hopped on his swing and sang hello.
“I’m sorry that you’re sick,” I shouted to Mrs. Riley.
Then I turned and left.

【答案】But that night I couldn’t sleep. I tossed and turned, thinking about Mrs. Riley and Sam. I worried about how she was feeling and if Sam was okay without me. I knew I had to do something to help, even if it meant finding another way to earn money.
The next day I ran upstairs. I knocked gently on Mrs. Riley’s door, hoping she was feeling better. When she opened it, she looked tired but smiled when she saw me. “I brought you some soup,” I said, holding up a container. “And I’ll still take care of Sam for free, until you’re better.” Mrs. Riley’s eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged me tightly.
