B Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them. Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colourful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt. But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim. Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them. This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?” “What’s that?” asked Norah. “Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently,’ I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But...” 4. The underlined word “cycle” can be replaced by_______________. A. ride by bike B. drive C. walk D. go by ship 5. We can infer that________________. A. a lot of friends came to visit them in winter B. few friends came to visit them in winter C. friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals D. Norah was a good cook 6. Which of the following is the best title ？ A. A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea B. A Warm-hearted Couple C. A Clever Way of Escaping D. A Visit to Norah 7. What is the hairdresser likely to continue to say in the end? A. If I am tired, I say, “Sorry, can you come next time?” B. If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How lucky! I’ve just come in!” C. If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I’ve changed my mind.” D. If it is fine that day, I say, “I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place, anyhow.” C If you were suffering from depression, you might turn to sugary holiday desserts, which are usually considered to help people feel relieved.However, if you are now in the same situation, you will only say “bah humbug” to them, for indeed it’s absolutely absurd. Recently, a new study from a team of clinical psychologists at the university of Kansas suggested that added sugar could cause inflammation (发炎) and affect processes of metabolism (代谢) and the nervous system, all of which are tied to depressive illness. Coupled with decreasing light in wintertime and related changes in sleep patterns, high sugar consumption could result in negative effects on mental health, according to the researchers. The researchers found that inflammation was the key physiological effect of dietary sugar related to mental health. “A large number of people with depression have high levels of systemic inflammation,”said Stephen Ilardi, a coauthor of the study. “When we think about inflammatory disease, we think about diabetes, a disease with a high level of systemic inflammation.We don’t normally think that depression is included in that, but it is - not for everyone who’s depressed, but for about half. We also know that inflammatory hormones can push the brain into a severe depression.An inflamed brain is typically a depressed brain.And added sugar cause inflammation to the body and brain.” The problem is worse this time of year.“For many people, reduced sunlight exposure during the winter will disturb biological rhythms, disrupting healthy sleep and pushing 5 to 10 percent of the population into a fully clinical depression,”said Ilardi. 8. According to the research at University of Kansas, which of the following could not be caused or impacted by added sugar? A. inflammation B. the processes of metabolism C. the nervous system D. decreasing time in wintertime 9. Stephen Ilardi doesn’t believe_______ A. People with depression have low levels of systemic inflammation. B. Inflammatory hormones can push the brain into a severe depression. C. Added suagar is unhealthy to people’s mental health. D. Less sunlight may cause harm to mental health. 10. The main idea of the passage is_____ A. The damage to mental health from sugar B. The importance of mental health C. The sugar treatment for depression D. The number of people with depression 11. Where is this passage most likely from? A. A novel B. A guidebook C. A health magazine D. A science fiction D Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown. Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year. To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs. In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to. 12. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean? A. End. B. Develop. C. Strengthen. D. Weaken. 13. What do Muller and her team do to save corals? A. Restore the damaged reefs. B. Grow corals by hand underwater. C. Create more protected areas. D. Move corals to unpolluted areas. 14. What do Gunning's words suggest? A. Many corals have been genetically improved. B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals. C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking. D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Relationship between corals and algae B. Efforts made to save corals C. Impact of climate warming on corals D. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It might seem like your dad will be around forever but your time together can be cut short when you least expect it.

(最近，堪萨斯大学临床心理学家团队的一项新研究表明，添加糖可能会引起炎症，影响新陈代谢过程和神经系统，所有这些都与抑郁症有关。)”可知添加糖能引起发炎、影响新陈代谢过程和神经系统，而冬季光照减少，不是添加糖导致的，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““A large number of people with depression have high levels of systemic inflammation,” said Stephen Ilardi, a coauthor of the study. (该研究的合著者斯蒂芬·伊拉尔迪（Stephen Ilardi）说：“很多抑郁症患者都有高水平的全身炎症。”)”可知，很多抑郁症患者有高水平的全身炎症，所以Stephen Ilardi不相信抑郁症患者的全身炎症水平较低。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Recently, a new study from a team of clinical psychologists at the university of Kansas suggested that added sugar could cause inflammation (发炎) and affect processes of metabolism (代谢) and the nervous system, all of which are tied to depressive illness.

(最近，堪萨斯大学临床心理学家团队的一项新研究表明，添加糖可能会引起炎症，影响新陈代谢过程和神经系统，所有这些都与抑郁症有关。研究人员称，再加上冬季光线减少和睡眠模式的相关变化，高糖摄入可能会对心理健康产生负面影响。)”可知文章讲述堪萨斯大学临床心理学家团队的一项新研究表明，糖可能会引起炎症，影响新陈代谢和神经系统的过程，进而影响心理健康。所以A选项“糖对心理健康的危害”符合文章大意，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，可知文章讲述堪萨斯大学临床心理学家团队的一项新研究表明，糖可能会引起炎症，影响新陈代谢和神经系统的过程，进而影响心理健康。所以最可能来自健康杂志。故选C。 D Scientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown. Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year. To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs. In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to. 12. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean? A. End. B. Develop. C. Strengthen. D. Weaken. 13. What do Muller and her team do to save corals? A. Restore the damaged reefs. B. Grow corals by hand underwater. C. Create more protected areas. D. Move corals to unpolluted areas. 14. What do Gunning's words suggest? A. Many corals have been genetically improved. B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals. C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking. D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Relationship between corals and algae B. Efforts made to save corals C. Impact of climate warming on corals D. Survival crisis faced by coral reefs 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美丽的珊瑚礁正在因气候变暖、环境污染等失去它们的色彩，科学家们为拯救它们做出了种种努力。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae living inside them.（这种柔软的生物天生是半透明的，它们鲜艳的颜色来自于体内的藻类。）”和下文“typically pushing them out and turning white.（通常会把它们赶走，然后变成白色。）”可知，当珊瑚受到高温或污染的压力时，它们会停止与藻类的相互依赖关系，通常会将它们赶走，然后变成白色。halt意为“结束，停止”。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea.（为了保持野生生态系统的活力，该中心主任艾琳·穆勒(Erinn Muller)和她的团队正在收集那些在环境压力下自然存活下来的珊瑚样本，让它们繁殖，然后将它们重新附着在珊瑚礁上。他们在海底的塑料框架上有46000个珊瑚。）”可知，穆勒和她的团队在水下手工种植珊瑚来拯救珊瑚。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.（Gunning补充说，科学家需要调查的最大问题是珊瑚还能适应多高的温度。）”可推知，Gunning的话暗示了珊瑚能生存的最高温度目前还不清楚。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals.（世界各地的科学家都在寻找保护甚至增加珊瑚的方法。）”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家们为了拯救珊瑚所做出的种种努力。“拯救珊瑚的努力”最适合作文章标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It might seem like your dad will be around forever, but your time together can be cut short when you least expect it.

Doing something meaningful can also gain special pleasure. When the final bell rang, the students were reminded that there was no school on Monday—the Labor Day. “Enjoy your extra day off” said the teacher to her class. An extra day off unsuited Kayla just fine. She loved breaks. She wanted to go out to play with her friends. When the school bus dropped Kayla off, she ran into the house happily. “How was school, Kayla?” asked her mom. “It was great, Mom. I am excited about no school on Monday.” “You just started back to school two weeks ago. Already in need of a break, huh?” asked Kayla’s mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning. Saturday was her favorite day of the week. I trained most of the day, so Kayla enjoyed playing videogames inside. On Sunday, her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labor Day, you know, the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to. But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad. He told Kayla that in honor of Labor Day, the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house. Kayla couldn’t believe it. This was a holiday. A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house. As Kayla wiped here yes, she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. “Kayla, your breakfast is ready. We have a lot of work to do today. Let’s get a move on,” said Kayla’s mom. As she sat down at the kitchen table, Kayla asked her parents， “Are you serious about working today? Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Kayla. It is,” replied her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labor Day was observed in the first place.” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At first Kayla felt disappointed at her parents’ plan for the holiday. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But things began to change as she was doing the chores. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: At first, Kayla felt disappointed at her parents' plan for the holiday. How eagerly she wanted to go to out to play with her friends! She was against the annoying plan from the bottom of her heart, but she had no choice. First, Kayla was arranged to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, she was asked to give their puppy a bath. She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work. She has begun the work with great unwillingness. Paragraph 2: But things began to change as she was doing the chores. Brushing the puppy, she found it was a lot of fun with so many soap bubbles. Then it was on to yard work where Kayla helped to pick up sticks. She pretended the small sticks were basketballs, and shot them into a large trash can. So the work was done with great pleasure. Kayla felt proud to see how much better the yard looked. When she finished her meaningful chores, Kayla enjoyed relaxing in her tree house. The lemonade tasted wonderful after a hard day of work. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Kayla不喜欢做家务，但是劳动节的时候，父亲却说为了庆祝劳动节，要打扫屋子。Kayla一开始感到失望，但是在做家务的过程中逐渐获得了快乐。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“起初，Kayla对父母的假期计划感到失望”可知，第一段可描写Kayla内心对这个计划的看法，她虽然反对，但是也别无选择。 ②由第二段首句内容“但当她做家务时，情况开始发生变化”可知，第二段可描写Kayla在做家务过程中的感受，她发现了做家务的乐趣，觉得做家务有意义。 2.续写线索：感到失望——别无选择——开始做家务——发现乐趣——愉快完成——Kayla感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①反对：be against/be opposed to ②开始：begin/start ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①快乐：pleasure/joy ②困难：hard/tough 【点睛】[高分句型1] She knew it was a hard task, which needed a lot of tiring, careful and patient work.
