I’m honored to talk about my own feelings about living abroad at this monthly meeting of our club. Moving to a new country can be challenging. When I first moved to Shanghai from the US because of a job opportunity, I felt really nervous. I had no relatives or friends here. The company found me a nice place to live. This made the adaptation much smoother. Although I did some research beforehand, in those first few weeks simple tasks like grocery shopping and using public transportation seemed confusing. I tried to find someone who was also from the U.S. But it wasn’t easy. I decided the best approach to getting to know the city was to slowly experience it. So on weekends I would visit some new neighborhoods or parks chatting with the locals along the way. Though my Chinese was only at a basic level, people were always friendly and patient. Within a month, Shanghai started to feel like home. Looking back I’m so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. It is still two years before I return to the us but I value my time in Shanghai very much. I want to say that though change can be hard, sometimes it’s the best way to grow. That’s all. Thanks for your attention. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Easy Chemistry Experiments to Do at Home Not all science requires labs.

She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.” “Oh, stop. There it is!” The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. “May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!” “There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything. The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened. Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?” “Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.” “That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about mv home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.” 24. What do we know about Marian McNay? A. She was a journalist. B. She was a painter. C. She was a museum director. D. She was a community leader. 25. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house? A. She disliked people who were nosy. B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers. C. She thought of him as a tour guide D. She knew more about art than the man. 26. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Frightened. D. Delighted. 27. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. People should have good taste to enjoy life. B. People should spend more time with their family. C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them. D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述作者和Sally驱车去参观McNay博物馆的故事。由于博物馆是免费的，她们直接就进去了，而这时大厅里的人们停止了谈话，盯着他们。她们参观了很长时间，最后才知道这是一个私人的民宅。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. (17岁的时候，我在杂志上读到一篇文章，讲的是一个叫麦克奈的博物馆，曾经是一位名叫Marian McNay的水彩画家的家)”可知，Marian McNay是一名水彩画家。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘May I help you?’ a man asked. ‘No,’ I said. ‘We’re fine.’ Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? (“我能帮你吗?”一个男人问。“不，”我说。“我们很好。导游让我心烦意乱。如果他们谈论了很长时间一幅你不是很感兴趣的画呢？)”可知，作者拒绝了屋子里男人的帮助是因为作者把他当成了“让人心烦意乱”的导游。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? (大厅里的人似乎很爱管闲事，好奇地盯着我。他们怎么了？)”可知，被大厅里的人盯着看，作者感到很困惑。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. (在你来之前，我从没意识到我住的地方有多美。我以前从没觉得自己很幸运)”可知，女主人在作者到来之前从来没有发现自己宅子的美，由此推知，人们通常对身边的美视而不见。故选C。 C We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 28. What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1? A. We should not be too optimistic about the future. B. Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C. It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. D. It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. 29. What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 2? A. payment B. income C. encouragement D. method 30. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B. Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. C. There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D. Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 31. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go B. Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future C. Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make D. Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但是电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳，实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But is that easier said than done?(但这说起来容易做起来难吗？)”可知，第一段提出疑问：英国宣布从2030年开始禁止销售新型汽油和柴油汽车，这说起来容易做起来难吗？第二段第一句“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.(实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。)”指出实现全球交通完全电动化还有很长的路要走。由此可推测出，作者在第一段最后提出疑问是想说明用电动汽车来实现环保并不容易。故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前一句“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power.(成本是另一个可能阻碍人们转向电力的问题。)”和划线词后的“such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. (比如通过降低进口税来降低价格，以及不收取道路税和停车费。)”可知，划线词后的举例是对incentive的进一步说明，通过降低进口税来降价以及不收取道路税和停车费，这些有助于降低购买和使用成本，有助于激励人们购买，incentive意为“激励措施”，与encouragement(起激励作用的事物)意思最接近。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Currently, battery life is an issue (目前，电池寿命是一个问题)”以及“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. (成本是另一个可能阻碍人们转向电力的问题。)”可知，C项“在全球交通完全电动化的道路上有四个障碍”是错误的。最后一段讲到“But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future (但是科林·赫伦警告说“电动汽车”并不意味着零碳排放的未来)”可知，A项“电动汽车将创造一个零碳的未来”是错误的。第二段还讲到“The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars (固态电池将带来巨大的飞跃，它将首先出现在手机和笔记本电脑中，然后才会发展为汽车)”可知，D项“首先将固态电池应用于电动汽车将是一次“大跃进””是错误的。根据第二段“Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.(一些国家还为电动汽车提供专用车道，超越可能陷入拥堵的传统汽车。)”可知，电动汽车有专用通道，因此，“电动汽车在未来可能不会陷入交通堵塞”是正确的说法。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.(实现全球交通完全电动化的道路还有很长的路要走。)”可知，电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保，但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走，电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决，而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。由此可推测出，A项“全电动交通：任重道远”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 D It is late autumn — millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere pulled on their thickest sweaters, spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways. In the US alone, nearly 10 million tonnes of garden waste go to landfill every year. That is a large amount of effort, not just from an environmental viewpoint but from that of our aching backs, too. So where does this advice come from? Well, it largely comes from the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable to breathe, especially shorter grass. They shut down important photosynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way of the growth of the shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at Wisconsin University. The key finding of their new research was that although clearing fallen leaves is one of the most common gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth to the soil, which greatly improves soil condition. Removing leaves year after year breaks this ecological (生态的) balance. Letting some leaves stick around to cover your garden is a great way to help your grass and the local ecosystem. They further explained that if up to 50 percent of your grass lawn (草坪) is covered by fallen leaves, you might as well go back indoors and put your feet up. The advantages of this light leaf coverage far outweigh the disadvantages — the leaves will quickly break down and help next year’s lawn grow far better than if you had cleared them. Only at over 50 percent coverage do the Wisconsin researchers recommend clearing. So why not consider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn from this garden waste — that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply not binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alone, about 700 million. 32. What does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. An amazing autumn game. B. A common sight in gardens. C. A hot attraction in the north. D. An extreme weather event. 33. What is the received wisdom? A. Fallen leaves need not be cleared. B. Fallen leaves protect shorter grass. C. Fallen leaves block photosynthesis. D. Fallen leaves are hard to break down. 34. The new research finds clearing fallen leaves makes little sense, because ________. A. it ruins city image B. it breaks gardening rules C. it affects local economy D. it causes ecological damage 35. What’s the author’s attitude to Wisconsin University’s study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述每年都会有数以百万计的园丁在晚秋移除落叶，但是威斯康星大学最近研究表明，落叶有助于将植物健康生长所需的营养物质返还给土壤，这会大大改善土壤的状况。年复一年地移除树叶打破了这种生态平衡。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It is late autumn — millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere pulled on their thickest sweaters, spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways.(这是晚秋——北半球数以百万计的园丁，穿上他们厚厚的毛衣，花费几个小时清理树叶然后把它们装进车道尽头的塑料袋里)”可知，作者描述的是花园里常见的情景。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They shut down important photosynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way of the growth of the shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at Wisconsin University.(它们关闭了重要的光合作用，阻碍了较矮的草的生长。然而，这一公认的智慧最近受到了威斯康星大学研究人员的质疑)”可知，落叶阻碍光合作用是公认的智慧。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth to the soil, which greatly improves soil condition. Removing leaves year after year breaks this ecological (生态的) balance.(在自然生态系统中，落叶有助于将植物健康生长所需的营养物质返还给土壤，这会大大改善土壤的状况。年复一年地移除树叶打破了这种生态平衡)”可知，研究人员发现清理落叶毫无意义是因为这会对生态造成破坏。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So why not consider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn from this garden waste — that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply not binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alone, about 700 million.(那么，为什么不考虑留下树叶呢？节省时间、碳排放和精力，作为交换，从这些花园垃圾中获得更健康的草坪——这似乎是一笔相当不错的交易。每年只要不把落叶扔进垃圾桶，就能节省多少塑料袋呢？仅在美国，就有7亿人)”可知，作者对于威斯康星大学的研究是拥护的。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) When you look ahead at the year to come, I hope you focus on all the positives even if the negatives exist, because positive thinking can help you get where you want to go. Positive thinking is not the same as optimism. Being optimistic means believing that everything is going to work out great. But positive thinking is more than that. It’s a mindset or a way of looking at the world and what you do. ___36___ To think positively, first of all, we need to look at problems, mistakes and failures as normal. Imagine you bomb a big job interview. A negative thinker will be upset by the fact that he didn’t get the job. ___37___ He will analyze what he did and figure out how to do it better next time. And he’ll also think about what he did well and try to repeat and improve on those successes. This means focusing on the big picture. One trick to positive thinking is to imagine how you’ll think back to things that are happening now. ___38___ There are bad things that happened last year that you can probably laugh about now. You understand what was a big deal and what was not. Try to do that in the present. ___39___ A negative thinker will focus on the past, especially past failures. But the past cannot be changed. It’s done and dusted. The future, however, is yet to be written. And that’s where the positive thinker will focus his attention. Positive thinking is a mental habit. It takes practice. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves to focus on the future and on possibility. ___40___ But if you can do it, there are some great payoffs: greater confidence, a better chance of success, better health condition as well as a better quality of life. A. A positive thinker will learn from the experience. B. Negative thinkers will look at failures as end points. C. Positive thinking often means separating the past and the future. D. It’s a belief in possibility, solutions to problems and the big picture. E. Sometimes, it’s hard to learn from our failures or see the big picture. F. We can see the power of positive thinking when it comes to problem-solving. G. You know from experience that the passing of time brings a fresh perspective. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. G 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是如何进行积极的思考。 【36题详解】 空前“But positive thinking is more than that. It’s a mindset or a way of looking at the world and what you do.(但积极思考不止于此。它是一种心态，一种看待世界和你所做事情的方式。)”说明了积极的思考的含义，D选项“It’s a belief in possibility, solutions to problems and the big picture.(这是一种对可能性的信念，对问题的解决方案和大局的信念。)”是对积极的思考的进一步说明，承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 【37题详解】 空前“A negative thinker will be upset by the fact that he didn’t get the job.(消极的思考者会因为没有得到那份工作而心烦意乱。)”说明了消极的思考者会如何做，空后“He will analyze what he did and figure out how to do it better next time. And he’ll also think about what he did well and try to repeat and improve on those successes.(他会分析他所做的，并找出下次如何做得更好。他也会思考自己做得好的地方，并试图在这些成功的基础上重复和改进。)”说明的是另一种人的做法，根据句意可知，这个人的做法很积极，应该说的是积极的思考者，A选项“A positive thinker will learn from the experience.(积极的思考者会从经验中学习。)”说明了积极的思考者会从经验中学习，和前面的消极的思考者的做法形成对比，且引出下文积极思考者的做法，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【38题详解】 空前“One trick to positive thinking is to imagine how you’ll think back to things that are happening now.(积极思考的一个技巧是想象你将如何回想现在发生的事情。)”说明的是积极思考的一个技巧是回想发生过的事情，也就是从经历过的事情中学习，G选项“You know from experience that the passing of time brings a fresh perspective.(你从经验中知道，时间的流逝会带来新的视角。)”是从经历过的事情中了解到的东西，承接上文，下文“There are bad things that happened last year that you can probably laugh about now. You understand what was a big deal and what was not.(去年发生的一些糟糕的事情，你现在或许可以一笑置之。你知道什么是大事，什么不是。)”举例说明从经验中学习。故选G。 【39题详解】 空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“A negative thinker will focus on the past, especially past failures. But the past cannot be changed. It’s done and dusted. The future, however, is yet to be written. And that’s where the positive thinker will focus his attention.(消极的思考者会关注过去，尤其是过去的失败。但过去是无法改变的。一切都搞定了。然而，未来还有待书写。这就是积极思考者会集中注意力的地方。)”可知，本段主要讲的是积极的思考者会关注未来，能分开过去和未来，C选项“Positive thinking often means separating the past and the future.(积极的思考通常意味着把过去和未来分开。)”说明了积极的思考会把过去和未来分开，因此概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选C。 【40题详解】 空前“Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves to focus on the future and on possibility.(有时候，我们必须提醒自己要关注未来和可能性。)”说明了我们必须提醒自己要关注未来和可能性，空后“But if you can do it, there are some great payoffs: greater confidence, a better chance of success, better health condition as well as a better quality of life.(但如果你能做到这一点，就会有很大的回报：更大的信心，更大的成功机会，更好的健康状况以及更好的生活质量。)”说明了如果能做到某事就会有很大的回报，空格处应该说明是什么事情，E选项“Sometimes, it’s hard to learn from our failures or see the big picture.(有时候，我们很难从失败中吸取教训，也很难看到大局。)”说明从失败中吸取教训，看到大局很难，在句式上和空前句子一致，且和后文如果做到这个事情所得到的回报是转折关系，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) In the last months of his life, my brothers and I moved our Dad from a crowded hospital to a local nursing home.

Look at the beautiful green sunshine!” She turned to look at it. The rising sun was so beautiful, flooding the earth with warm and red light. However, Jaron’s mom was about to cry. “Oh dear, my poor boy,” she thought. Without delay, the parents rushed Jaron to the hospital for a check- up, which turned out to be color blindness. On that fateful day, Jaron’s parents were shocked to learn that their son was color blind — a condition that affects a person’s ability to see colors in the same way as others. There is no cure, but special glasses can help individuals like Jaron distinguish between different colors. Unfortunately, these glasses are often too expensive for most families to afford. The parents were sad, but Jaron remained calm and even comforted his parents. He saw his condition as something special and decided to keep it a secret. However, his silence caused him to feel left out when others talked about colors. One day, during a class discussion, the teacher, Christina Hayes, asked the students to share a secret about themselves. Working up his courage, Jaron revealed his condition to his classmates, explaining that he saw gray instead of colors like purple, green, and blue. When the teacher asked if there was anything that could help him, Jaron mentioned the special glasses, but noted that they were too expensive for his family.

People from all walks of life contributed generously, touched by Jaron’s bravery and the students’ kindness. In just a few weeks, they had raised enough money to buy the special glasses for Jaron. Paragraph 2: Seeing the special glasses, Jaron was puzzled. When Hayes explained the effort they had put in, tears welled up in Jaron’s eyes. He tried on the glasses, and suddenly, the world around him transformed. Overwhelmed with emotion, Jaron hugged Hayes and thanked his classmates. From that day on, Jaron no longer felt left out.

B When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.” “Oh, stop. There it is!” The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us. “May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!” “There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything. The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened. Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?” “Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.” “That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about mv home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.” 24. What do we know about Marian McNay? A. She was a journalist. B. She was a painter. C. She was a museum director. D. She was a community leader. 25. Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house? A. She disliked people who were nosy. B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers. C. She thought of him as a tour guide D. She knew more about art than the man. 26. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A. Puzzled. B. Concerned. C. Frightened. D. Delighted. 27. What could we learn from the last paragraph? A. People should have good taste to enjoy life. B. People should spend more time with their family. C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them. D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum. C We are all aware of the damaging pollution that’s created by driving petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles. Many of the world’s cities are blocked with traffic, creating fumes containing gases such as nitrogen oxides. The solution for a cleaner, greener future could be electric vehicles. But how optimistic should we be? There was much excitement last year when the UK government announced it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. But is that easier said than done? The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off. Currently, battery life is an issue — a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol. There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into. Of course, technology is always improving. Some of the biggest tech companies, like Google and Tesla, are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars. And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too. Colin Herron, a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology, told the BBC: “The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries, which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range. Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power. But some countries offer incentive, such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes, and not charging for road tax and parking. Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on, overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita (人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants. But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future. “It’s emission-free motoring, but the car has to be built, the battery has to be built, and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 28. What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1? A. We should not be too optimistic about the future. B. Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C. It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. D. It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. 29. What does the underlined word “incentive” mean in paragraph 2? A. payment B. income C. encouragement D. method 30. Which statement is true according to the passage? A. Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B. Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. C. There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D. Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 31. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Total Electric Traffic: a Long Way to Go B. Electric Vehicles: a Road to a Greener Future C Electric Power or Petrol: a Tough Decision to Make D. Petrol and Diesel Vehicles: a Main source of Gases D It is late autumn — millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere pulled on their thickest sweaters, spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways. In the US alone, nearly 10 million tonnes of garden waste go to landfill every year. That is a large amount of effort, not just from an environmental viewpoint but from that of our aching backs, too. So where does this advice come from? Well, it largely comes from the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable to breathe, especially shorter grass. They shut down important photosynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way of the growth of the shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at Wisconsin University. The key finding of their new research was that although clearing fallen leaves is one of the most common gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth to the soil, which greatly improves soil condition. Removing leaves year after year breaks this ecological (生态的) balance. Letting some leaves stick around to cover your garden is a great way to help your grass and the local ecosystem. They further explained that if up to 50 percent of your grass lawn (草坪) is covered by fallen leaves, you might as well go back indoors and put your feet up. The advantages of this light leaf coverage far outweigh the disadvantages — the leaves will quickly break down and help next year’s lawn grow far better than if you had cleared them. Only at over 50 percent coverage do the Wisconsin researchers recommend clearing. So why not consider leaving the leaves? Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn from this garden waste — that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply not binning fallen leaves every year? In the US alone, about 700 million. 32 What does the author describe in paragraph 1? A. An amazing autumn game. B. A common sight in gardens. C. A hot attraction in the north. D. An extreme weather event. 33. What is the received wisdom? A. Fallen leaves need not be cleared. B. Fallen leaves protect shorter grass. C. Fallen leaves block photosynthesis. D. Fallen leaves are hard to break down. 34. The new research finds clearing fallen leaves makes little sense, because ________. A. it ruins city image B. it breaks gardening rules C. it affects local economy D. it causes ecological damage 35. What’s the author’s attitude to Wisconsin University’s study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) When you look ahead at the year to come, I hope you focus on all the positives even if the negatives exist, because positive thinking can help you get where you want to go. Positive thinking is not the same as optimism. Being optimistic means believing that everything is going to work out great. But positive thinking is more than that. It’s a mindset or a way of looking at the world and what you do. ___36___ To think positively, first of all, we need to look at problems, mistakes and failures as normal. Imagine you bomb a big job interview. A negative thinker will be upset by the fact that he didn’t get the job. ___37___ He will analyze what he did and figure out how to do it better next time. And he’ll also think about what he did well and try to repeat and improve on those successes. This means focusing on the big picture. One trick to positive thinking is to imagine how you’ll think back to things that are happening now. ___38___ There are bad things that happened last year that you can probably laugh about now. You understand what was a big deal and what was not. Try to do that in the present. ___39___ A negative thinker will focus on the past, especially past failures. But the past cannot be changed. It’s done and dusted. The future, however, is yet to be written. And that’s where the positive thinker will focus his attention. Positive thinking is a mental habit. It takes practice. Sometimes, we have to remind ourselves to focus on the future and on possibility. ___40___ But if you can do it, there are some great payoffs: greater confidence, a better chance of success, better health condition as well as a better quality of life. A. A positive thinker will learn from the experience. B. Negative thinkers will look at failures as end points. C. Positive thinking often means separating the past and the future. D. It’s a belief in possibility, solutions to problems and the big picture. E. Sometimes, it’s hard to learn from our failures or see the big picture. F. We can see the power of positive thinking when it comes to problem-solving. G. You know from experience that the passing of time brings a fresh perspective. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) In the last months of his life, my brothers and I moved our Dad from a crowded hospital to a local nursing home.

One morning, Jaron’s mom: was driving him to school beneath an especially spectacular Texas sunrise. She heard his little voice from the car seat behind her say, “Look, Mommy! Look at the beautiful green sunshine!” She turned to look at it. The rising sun was so beautiful, flooding the earth with warm and red light. However, Jaron’s mom was about to cry. “Oh dear, my poor boy,” she thought. Without delay, the parents rushed Jaron to the hospital for a check- up, which turned out to be color blindness. On that fateful day, Jaron’s parents were shocked to learn that their son was color blind — a condition that affects a person’s ability to see colors in the same way as others. There is no cure, but special glasses can help individuals like Jaron distinguish between different colors. Unfortunately, these glasses are often too expensive for most families to afford. The parents were sad, but Jaron remained calm and even comforted his parents. He saw his condition as something special and decided to keep it a secret. However, his silence caused him to feel left out when others talked about colors. One day, during a class discussion, the teacher, Christina Hayes, asked the students to share a secret about themselves. Working up his courage, Jaron revealed his condition to his classmates, explaining that he saw gray instead of colors like purple, green, and blue. When the teacher asked if there was anything that could help him, Jaron mentioned the special glasses, but noted that they were too expensive for his family. Hearing Jaron’s words, the teacher fought back tears and praised the boy for his bravery The other students looked at Jaron with newfound understanding and empathy. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: After class, Jaron’s classmates privately approached Haves. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Seeing the special glasses, Jaron was puzzled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I'm going to the library to return some books.
