He won the China Youth May Fourth Medal. He also has made great progress in the improvement of rice over the years. So far he has bred (培育) 16 new kinds of rice, increasing grain (粮食) production by more than 1.5 billion kilograms. This makes sure China has enough grain to feed its people. Zhou has been offered chances to go abroad and exchange experience with others. One of the visits to the United States made Zhou realize that even though China was playing a leading role in rice research in the world, its agricultural industry was still behind other developed countries. After returning to China, Zhou began using his skills to help the country in agriculture. Instead of staying in an air-conditioned office, Zhou spent most of his time in the field. Breeding is hard, heavily affected by sunlight and temperature. So Zhou always took care of his crops 24 hours a day. Things don’t always run smoothly. In August, southern China experienced very high temperatures. This had a serious influence on the crops in Zhou’s field. However, Zhou never got downhearted. Zhou believed it opened a window for him to do further study. He said, “Sometimes we just need to find ways to get over high temperatures, and this also helps us choose the rice.” After going through tens of thousands of tries, Zhou and his team succeeded in creating new kinds of rice to meet the needs of people. 51. What did Zhou Lei do to help his crops? A. He asked others for help. B. He moved his crops to a cooler office. C. He watered his crops 24 hours a day. D. He worked in the field most of his time. 52.

He has bred six new kinds of rice. B. He has won many international medals. C. He has made great progress in rice improvement. D. He has studied in an air-conditioned office all the time. 54. Which word can best describe Zhou Lei? A. Honest. B. Polite. C. Hard-working. D. Easy-going. 55. What is the main idea of the text? A. Zhou Lei’s personal life. B. The challenges of farming in China.

Did you know, for example, that aspirin (阿司匹林) comes from the bark (树皮) of the willow trees? In the 5th Century BC the Greek doctor, Hippocrates, gave it to his patients to stop their pains. In 1775, a British doctor William Withering was unable to treat a patient who had a serious heart problem. However, the patient made a complete recovery (康复) after taking something a woman had given him. The woman told the doctor she’d made the medicine from purple foxgloves. This natural medicine is still given to people with heart problems because it makes your heart beat slowly. Many of the most useful natural medicines can be found in our homes and gardens. Put some lavender oil on your bed at night to help you sleep. Or open the leaves from an aloe vera plant and put it on your burns or cuts. This will help them to heal (治愈). The Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, used this kind of amazing plant to keep her skin soft and young-looking. Finally, we mustn’t forget the power of garlic. At first, it can be used to clean the blood. Also, it’s good for stomach problems. And it’s a natural antiseptic (防腐剂), too. So, it’s really magic! 56. What did Hippocrates use willow bark for? A. Helping sleep. B. Treating burns and cuts. C. Stopping pains. D. Making hearts beat slowly. 57. What does the underlined phrase “this kind of amazing plant” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The aloe vera. B. The garlic. C. The lavender. D. The purple foxgloves. 58. How many advantages of garlic are mentioned (提到) in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 59. What is the best title for the text? A. The importance of health B. The ways to keep healthy C. The history of natural medicines D. The introduction of natural medicines 60. What is the structure (结构) of the text?(①= Paragraph 1…) A. B. C. D. 【答案】56. C 57. A 58. B 59. D 60. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了几种常见的天然药物及其用途，包括历史上著名的药物和现代人使用的天然植物。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the Greek doctor, Hippocrates, gave it to his patients to stop their pains”可知，希波克拉底使用柳树皮来止痛。故选C。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Or open the leaves from an aloe vera plant and put it on your burns or cuts...the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, used this kind of amazing plant to keep her skin soft and young-looking”可知，这种神奇的植物是指芦荟。故选A。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“used to clean the blood... good for stomach problems... natural antiseptic”可知，文中提到大蒜有三个优点。故选B。 【59题详解】 最佳标题题。文章介绍了天然药物及其用途，因此最合适的标题是“天然药物的介绍”。故选D。 【60题详解】 篇章结构题。文章从天然药物的历史介绍开始（第1段），然后分别介绍几种常见的天然药物（第2-5段），故选B。 (D) Driverless cars have developed rapidly in China nowadays. Recently, the news of “radish Run fast” (萝卜快跑) has drawn wide attention. Driverless cars are becoming more common in many cities. It has become a hit on social media. Driverless cars can operate (操作) without a human driver. They can communicate with each other and change their speed and direction as needed, possibly improving traffic conditions and even making traffic lights needless as well. Another main advantage of driverless vehicles is that they reduce the number of accidents on the road, so it will save hundreds and thousands of people’s lives. However, there are still worries about whether driverless cars are safe for everyone on the road. Even though they use smart technology to avoid dangers and control the car, they’re not perfect yet. In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents. There are a lot of challenges that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear. One of these challenges is allowing driverless cars on the roads regularly, which requires solving many safety and technical problems. Driverless cars need sensors (传感器), cameras, and computer systems to operate. However, making these systems work effectively in all weather and road conditions is challenging. People have mixed feelings about driverless cars. Some people, like Grant Schapps, believe they could be a big deal if we can make them work safely. But some feel uncomfortable with the idea, and most want them to be clearly marked on the road. Experts (专家) think we might need new road signs just for driverless cars because they may have difficulty moving through the roads with heavy traffic or unexpected situations. In short, while driverless cars offer exciting possibilities, we must deal with many problems before they become common on our roads. 61. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To explain an idea. B. To introduce the topic. C. To advise people to buy driverless cars. D. To tell people how to operate driverless cars. 62. How does the writer show driverless cars are not perfect now? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking a question. C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example. 63. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Safety of driverless cars. B. Problems of driverless cars. C. Technology of driverless cars. D. Advantages of driverless cars. 64. What is Grant Schapps’ attitude (态度) about driverless cars? A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Worried. D. Doubtful. 65. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Think twice before acting. B. One tree can’t make a forest. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】61. B 62. D 63. B 64. A 65. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无人驾驶汽车的发展现状、优势、挑战以及人们对它的不同态度。 【61题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段通过介绍“萝卜快跑”这一新闻，引出了无人驾驶汽车在中国的发展现状，并提到它成为社交媒体上的热门话题；因此，第一段的目的是引出主题。故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents.”可知，作者通过提到在伦敦的一次测试中，驾驶员不得不两次接管控制权以避免事故这一例子，展示了无人驾驶汽车目前并不完美。故选D。 【63题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are a lot of challenges that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear. One of these challenges is allowing driverless cars on the roads regularly, which requires solving many safety and technical problems.”可知，在我们看到红绿灯消失之前，还有许多挑战需要解决，其中之一是让无人驾驶汽车定期上路，这需要解决许多安全和技术问题；因此，第四段主要讨论的是无人驾驶汽车所面临的问题。故选B。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Some people, like Grant Schapps, believe they could be a big deal if we can make them work safely.”可知，一些人，如格兰特·沙普斯认为，如果我们能让无人驾驶汽车安全地工作，它们可能会产生重大影响；据此可以推断，格兰特·沙普斯对无人驾驶汽车持积极态度。故选A。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了无人驾驶汽车的发展现状、技术特点、面临的挑战以及公众对此的态度，并强调尽管无人驾驶汽车提供了令人兴奋的可能性，但在它们变得普遍之前，我们还需要解决许多问题；选项A“三思而后行。”符合这一主旨。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） (E) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Do you like to try something new? ___66___ Here are four reasons for young people to try hard. ● It helps us to do well.

(B) Zhou Lei is a researcher at the Hubei Academy of Agricultural (农业的) Science. He won the China Youth May Fourth Medal. He also has made great progress in the improvement of rice over the years. So far he has bred (培育) 16 new kinds of rice, increasing grain (粮食) production by more than 1.5 billion kilograms. This makes sure China has enough grain to feed its people. Zhou has been offered chances to go abroad and exchange experience with others. One of the visits to the United States made Zhou realize that even though China was playing a leading role in rice research in the world, its agricultural industry was still behind other developed countries. After returning to China, Zhou began using his skills to help the country in agriculture. Instead of staying in an air-conditioned office, Zhou spent most of his time in the field. Breeding is hard, heavily affected by sunlight and temperature. So Zhou always took care of his crops 24 hours a day. Things don’t always run smoothly. In August, southern China experienced very high temperatures. This had a serious influence on the crops in Zhou’s field. However, Zhou never got downhearted. Zhou believed it opened a window for him to do further study. He said, “Sometimes we just need to find ways to get over high temperatures, and this also helps us choose the rice.” After going through tens of thousands of tries, Zhou and his team succeeded in creating new kinds of rice to meet the needs of people. 51. What did Zhou Lei do to help his crops? A. He asked others for help. B. He moved his crops to a cooler office. C. He watered his crops 24 hours a day. D. He worked in the field most of his time. 52. What does the underlined word “downhearted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Disappointed. B. Excited. C. Bored. D. Relaxed. 53. What has Zhou Lei done over the years according to the text? A. He has bred six new kinds of rice. B. He has won many international medals. C. He has made great progress in rice improvement. D. He has studied in an air-conditioned office all the time. 54. Which word can best describe Zhou Lei? A. Honest. B. Polite. C. Hard-working. D. Easy-going. 55. What is the main idea of the text? A. Zhou Lei’s personal life. B. The challenges of farming in China. C. The development of rice farming. D. Zhou Lei’s contributions to agriculture. (C) People have been using natural medicines for thousands of years. Did you know, for example, that aspirin (阿司匹林) comes from the bark (树皮) of the willow trees? In the 5th Century BC the Greek doctor, Hippocrates, gave it to his patients to stop their pains. In 1775, a British doctor William Withering was unable to treat a patient who had a serious heart problem. However, the patient made a complete recovery (康复) after taking something a woman had given him. The woman told the doctor she’d made the medicine from purple foxgloves. This natural medicine is still given to people with heart problems because it makes your heart beat slowly. Many of the most useful natural medicines can be found in our homes and gardens.

(D) Driverless cars have developed rapidly in China nowadays. Recently, the news of “radish Run fast” (萝卜快跑) has drawn wide attention. Driverless cars are becoming more common in many cities. It has become a hit on social media. Driverless cars can operate (操作) without a human driver. They can communicate with each other and change their speed and direction as needed, possibly improving traffic conditions and even making traffic lights needless as well. Another main advantage of driverless vehicles is that they reduce the number of accidents on the road, so it will save hundreds and thousands of people’s lives. However, there are still worries about whether driverless cars are safe for everyone on the road. Even though they use smart technology to avoid dangers and control the car, they’re not perfect yet. In a recent London test, a driver had to take control twice to avoid accidents. There are a lot of challenges that need to be solved before we see traffic lights disappear. One of these challenges is allowing driverless cars on the roads regularly, which requires solving many safety and technical problems. Driverless cars need sensors (传感器), cameras, and computer systems to operate. However, making these systems work effectively in all weather and road conditions is challenging. People have mixed feelings about driverless cars. Some people, like Grant Schapps, believe they could be a big deal if we can make them work safely. But some feel uncomfortable with the idea, and most want them to be clearly marked on the road. Experts (专家) think we might need new road signs just for driverless cars because they may have difficulty moving through the roads with heavy traffic or unexpected situations. In short, while driverless cars offer exciting possibilities, we must deal with many problems before they become common on our roads. 61. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To explain an idea. B.

Problems of driverless cars. C. Technology of driverless cars. D. Advantages of driverless cars. 64. What is Grant Schapps’ attitude (态度) about driverless cars? A. Positive. B. Uncertain. C. Worried. D. Doubtful. 65. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Think twice before acting. B. One tree can’t make a forest. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Actions speak louder than words. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） (E) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Do you like to try something new? ___66___ Here are four reasons for young people to try hard. ● It helps us to do well.
