A look at leather craftsmen in Florence will help you know more about Italian leather. The leather factory — PIEROTUCCI Join a free tour of the factory and you’ll get a deep dive into the process of making a handbag. After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand, you’ll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end. And you’ll know that if you do spend the money, the bag will last forever The leather shoe store — STEFANO BEMER STEFANO BEMER was famous for its hand-tailored shoes. The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds, and in some cases thousands of dollars is also where apprentices (学徒) learn their skills: visible in the front section of the store. The leather school — Scuola del Cuoio Walking into the courtyard of the Scuola del Cuoio feels a little like walking onto a mini college campus. You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building. The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working. The bookbinding (书籍装订) store — IL Torchio Il Torchio is a beautiful bookbinding store run by Erin Ciulla. If you ask Ciulla she might take you to see the “guillotine”, which is actually a very large, antique-looking machine that’s used to cut large amounts of paper. Beyond binding with leather covers, Ciulla also covers books, journals, and photo albums in hand-made papers. 1. What is the main reason for Pierotucci’s high price? A. The special material. B. The handmade process. C. The high cost of the visit. D. The long history of the factory. 2. Which places provide the opportunity to learn leather-making? A. Pierotucci and IL Torchio. B. Seuola del Cuoio and IL Torchio. C. Pierotucci and Stefano Bemer. D. Stefano Bemer and Scuola del Cuoio. 3. What can you do in the bookbinding store? A. Buy a high-quality leather bag. B. Buy an antique-looking machine. C. Have a photo album covered with leather. D. Have the leather covers cut by the guillotine. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了佛罗伦萨的皮革制造商的历史，包括PIEROTUCCI、STEFANO BEMER、Scuola del Cuoio和Il Torchio等四个皮革制造商各自的特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章的The leather factory — PIEROTUCCI部分可知，“After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand, you’ll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end. And you’ll know that if you do spend the money, the bag will last forever.”（在看到手工制作一个袋子需要什么之后，你不会再奇怪为什么PIEROTUCCI的价格在结尾处会有两个零。你会知道，如果你真的花了钱，这个袋子将永远存在。）可知，这个袋子贵的原因是，这是手工制作的。B项“The handmade process.”（手工制作工艺。）符合原文表述，故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章The leather shoe store — STEFANO BEMER部分的“The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds，and in some cases thousands，of dollars is also where apprentices learn their skills: visible in the front section of the store.”（这家优雅的商店出售的鞋子价格高达数百美元，有时甚至数千美元，也是学徒们学习技能的地方：可以在商店的前面看到。）和The leather school — Scuola del Cuoio部分“You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building. The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working.”（当你进入历史建筑时，你离开繁忙的街道。这所学校专门制作独一无二的皮包，并教授付费学生高质量皮革加工的秘诀。）可知，在STEFANO BEMER和Scuola del Cuoio可以有学习皮革制作的机会。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一部分The bookbinding(书籍装订)store — IL Torchio的“Beyond binding with leather covers, Ciulla also covers books, journals, and photo albums in hand-made papers.”（除了用皮革封面装订外，Ciulla还用手工纸装订书籍、期刊和相册。）可知，可以获得一本用皮革覆盖的相册。C项“Have a photo album covered with leather. ”（有一本用皮革覆盖的相册。）符合原文表述。故选C项。 B On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo. The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries. While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him. On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project. Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries. 4. What is Jules’s Undersea Lodge special for? A. Its convenience. B. Its reputation. C. Its location. D. Its luxuriousness. 5. Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel? A. To treat his brain injuries. B. To live longer and healthier. C. To deal with medical problems. D. To test one of his academic ideas. 6. Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri’s undersea life? A. He kept a daily routine almost as usual. B. He was busy with medical experiments. C. He led a dull life separated from the others. D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater. 7. What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do? A. Communicate more with him. B. Explore the unknown bravely. C. Study the information of the project. D. Meet at the conference in Scotland. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了约瑟夫·迪图里博士在基拉戈水下酒店进行100天实验以研究深海压力对身体的影响，期间保持常规生活，打破世界纪录，并激励年轻人勇探未知。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.”（3月1日，约瑟夫·迪图里(Joseph Dituri)博士开始了一个项目，他将在基拉戈(Key Largo)一个保护区海平面下30英尺处的一家名为“朱尔斯海底小屋”(Jules’s Undersea Lodge)的特殊酒店住上100天。）可知，朱尔斯的海底小屋的特别之处是它的位置位于海平面下30英尺处。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.”（迪图里博士想了解这种压力随着时间的推移会如何影响人体。他认为，随着年龄的增长，高血压可以帮助人们活得更长，更健康。它还可以帮助医生治疗不同的医疗问题，包括脑损伤。）可知，迪图里医生决定在酒店里待很久是因为他想检验他的一个学术观点。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5, 500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.”（在水下生活期间，迪图里一直很忙。他经常在早上锻炼。他一直在网上教授他的大学课程，并与来自15个不同国家的5500多名学生在线聊天。他还与海洋专家一起研究保护海洋的方法。他甚至有一些游客潜入水中和他待一会儿。）可推知，迪图里博士在海底的生活和往常一样。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.”（我最大的希望是，我激励了新一代的探险家和研究人员去突破所有的界限。）可知，迪图里博士希望年轻人勇敢地探索未知。故选B项。 C As archaeologists (考古学家) examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1,000 years, there sat little dumplings. Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic (游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because “manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it’s unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China. Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian (素食) dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues. Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means “little lumps”. During the Second World War, Chinese “jiaozi” were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta? Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors. It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various. 8. What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings? A. The languages they used. B. Their eating habits. C. Their dumpling-making skills. D. The newly found tombs. 9. What does the phrase “gathered steam” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Originated. B. Stabilized. C. Got well-cooked. D. Became popular. 10. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The spreading process of dumplings. B. The possible origins of dumplings. C. Differences between various dumplings. D. Reasons for the popularity of dumplings. 11. Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage? A. Delicious. B. Diverse. C. Unusual. D. Regional. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了有关饺子传播的一些历史。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic(游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because ‘manti,’ meaning ‘dumpling’ or ‘steamed bun’ in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages.(但一些学者怀疑，它们最早是由生活在中国西部和中亚的突厥游牧民族传播的。之所以会被认为是这种情况，是因为‘manti’在许多突厥语中的意思是‘饺子’或‘馒头’，在其他几种语言中似乎是饺子的词根。)”可知，由于突厥语的“manti”在其他几种语言中似乎是饺子的词根，所以突厥民族被怀疑是最初传播饺子的人。故选A。 【9题详解】 短语猜测题。根据第三段中的“Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years.(在接下来的一千年里，饺子在中国继续流行并多样化。)”可知，在突厥之后的一千年里，饺子继续受到人们的喜爱，并且出现了多种形式，由此可推测出，“dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China”表示的是饺子无疑在古代中国很受欢迎。gather steam意为“受欢迎，流行”，与become popular的意思最接近。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe.(除了突厥部落，一些学者认为蒙古帝国也对饺子的传播做出了贡献，也许将饺子引入了东欧的部分地区。)”和“The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means ‘little lumps’. During the Second World War, Chinese ‘jiaozi’ were brought to Japan.(蒙古帝国也控制了朝鲜，并可能在那里引入了饺子。后来，随着中国饺子品种被引入更多的国家，讲英语的人开始称它们为饺子，意思是‘小肿块’。第二次世界大战期间，中国的‘饺子’被带到了日本。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了饺子的传播过程。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian(素食) dumplings. People developed new cooking methods.(在接下来的一千年里，饺子在中国继续流行并多样化。一些社会选择了素食饺子，而不是传统的肉馅。人们开发了新的烹饪方法。)”和最后一段中的“However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.(然而，我们可以欣赏到使饺子如此多样化的神秘历史之网。)”可知，饺子经过千年来的发展演变，有了不同的口味和烹饪方法，由此可推测出，用“多样化”（diverse）最能描述饺子。故选B。 D A new UK-based study on the effects of artificial light on local insect populations found that light pollution from street lamps disturbs insect behavior, leading to an overall loss of insects. “We found that street lighting strongly reduced moth (飞蛾) population compared with unlit sites... and affected moth development,” the study stated. The study’s results apply to a localized level and cannot be used to determine whether national-level populations are declining due to light pollution. However, it adds further weight to existing research on how light pollution affects ecosystems and biodiversity hotspots and highlights the need to shift to alternatives in artificial light that would tone down these effects. The effects on insect populations are wide-ranging. More specifically, artificial light affects how moths lay their eggs and puts them at a higher risk of being spotted by predators (捕食性动物). It also affects moths’ feeding behavior, which subsequently leads to declines in their population too. Light pollution thus joins a host of factors, such as climate change and deforestation, as one of the determinants of insect population decline. While previous studies examined the effects of lighting on bats and other vertebrates, this study focused on their prey—creatures lower down in the food chain—and, as a result, complementing (补充) previous studies. Therefore, the study is concerning because it suggests an alarming loss of insects caused by artificial light, which will have far-reaching consequences for all the wildlife and ecosystems that depend on them. Moreover, white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were found to have the worst impact on local insects and ecosystem processes. The researchers thus call for shifting away from white LEDs or employing processes such as motion sensors to make the lights less bright and changing colors and filters to avoid the negative impacts. If the findings of the study are anything to go by, local insect ecosystems will suffer considerable consequences- which will, in turn, affect the wildlife that depends on them and, ultimately, could perhaps even upset agricultural balances. 12. What can we learn about the new study? A. It is conducted on a local basis. B. It highlights the value of artificial light. C. It focuses on the preservation of insects. D. It matters more than the existing research. 13. What effect does artificial light have on moths? A. It may put them in danger. B. It prevents them from feeding. C. It may lead to their extinction. D. It disables them from laying eggs. 14. What do the researchers advise us to do with the LEDs? A. To shift to green alternatives. B. To adopt brighter colors and filters. C. To avoid adopting white-light LEDs. D. To replace them with motion sensors. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Artificial Light and Wildlife Protection B. Light Pollution and the Endangered Species C. Artificial Light Has Negative Effects on Agriculture D. Light Pollution from Street Lights Could Drive Insect Loss 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了英国开展的一项研究：研究发现晚上街灯造成的光污染对昆虫的数量有影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The study’s results apply to a localized level(研究结果适用于局部水平)”可知，此研究是在某一区域范围内开展的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“artificial light affects how moths lay their eggs and puts them at a higher risk of being spotted by predators(捕食性动物) (人造光会影响飞蛾产卵的方式，使它们更容易被捕食者发现)”可知，人造光会使得飞蛾处于更容易被捕食者发现的危险中。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers thus call for shifting away from white LEDs or employing processes such as motion sensors to make the lights less bright and changing colors and filters to avoid the negative impacts. (因此，研究人员呼吁远离白色LED，或采用运动传感器等工艺来降低灯光亮度，并改变颜色和滤镜以避免负面影响。)”可知，研究者建议避免使用发白光的LED灯。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new UK-based study on the effects of artificial light on local insect populations found that light pollution from street lamps disturbs insect behavior, leading to an overall loss of insects. (一项基于英国的关于人造光对当地昆虫种群影响的新研究发现，路灯的光污染会干扰昆虫的行为，导致昆虫的全面损失。)”可知，文章的主要内容是路灯的光污染可能导致昆虫死亡。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以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。 Beach is a relaxing place to catch waves, get some sun, enjoy picnic, spot wildlife and go exploring. Here are tips from experts on how to be a better beachgoer, so future generations of sea lovers can get their beach therapy (疗法) when they need it. Use safer sunblock Many sunblocks advertise that they are “reef-friendly” which has no firm definitions, and their usage isn’t regulated by governmental bodies. ____16____. Only purchase mineral-based sunscreens so that it won’t do harm to reefs. Get involved ____17____. If you forget to bring one, find an abandoned bag at the beach. It may seem a little gesture, but it will help remove rubbish. By working together people can really make a difference. Thoughtful toys for kids It’s fun for your little ones to play with plastic toys in the sand. ____18____. They end up polluting the environment and can be accidentally eaten by animals, causing them serious harm or even killing them. Pack metal or wooden toys instead. Read the signs Signs at the beach aren’t optional reading. They tell you where you can’t go and what you can’t do, so you don’t mess with the local ecosystem. ____19____. They are storm barriers and home to many animals. Destroy what you build It doesn’t matter how much time and effort your children spent building sand castles or digging tunnels: if you are on a beach marked as a sea turtle habitat, fill in the trench and knock down the structure. Sea turtles have heavy bodies and they can die if they fall into a hole and get trapped. ____20____. A. So it’s best to read the fine print carefully B. Beach-goers are generally advised to stay off sand hills C. Thus, try your best to be a considerate eco-friendly tourist D. However, plastic toys break easily, leaving behind bits and pieces E. Sand structures also can prevent them from reaching birthing areas F. Bring a reusable bag to clean up while you’re walking the shoreline G. Have your children pick up trash with you when walking on the beach 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章倡导人们在海滩游玩时要注意保护海滩的自然环境。 【16题详解】 上文“Many sunblocks advertise that they are “reef-friendly”, which has no firm definitions, and their usage isn’t regulated by governmental bodies. (许多防晒霜都宣称它们是“对珊瑚礁友好的”，这没有明确的定义，它们的使用也不受政府机构的监管。)”说明有些防晒霜宣称对珊瑚友好，但是没有明确的定义，因此也有可能对珊瑚礁有害，所以要仔细阅读上面的成分说明。因此推断A项“所以最好仔细阅读细则”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 下文“If you forget to bring one, find an abandoned bag at the beach. It may seem a little gesture, but it will help remove rubbish. By working together people can really make a difference. (如果你忘了带一个，在海滩上找一个被遗弃的袋子。这似乎是一个小小的举动，但它将有助于清除垃圾。通过共同努力，人们真的可以有所作为。)”可知，此处的one应是指代装垃圾的袋子，用来清楚垃圾，因此推断F项“当你沿海岸线上散步时，带上一个可重复使用的袋子来清理”符合语境，one指代上文提到的reusable bag，故选F。 【18题详解】 前文“It’s fun for your little ones to play with plastic toys in the sand. (你的孩子在沙滩上玩塑料玩具是很有趣的。)”讲孩子玩塑料玩具会很快乐，后文“They end up polluting the environment and can be accidentally eaten by animals, causing them serious harm on even killing them. Pack metal or wooden toys instead. ( 它们最终会污染环境，并可能被动物误食，对它们造成严重伤害，甚至杀死它们。用金属或木制玩具代替。)”讲这一类玩具对海滩的危害，建议带金属或者木质玩具，因此推断D项“然而，塑料玩具很容易破裂，留下碎片”说明塑料玩具的害处，与上文是转折关系，引出下文塑料玩具带来的害处的具体介绍。故选D。 【19题详解】 前文“Signs at the beach aren’t optional reading. They tell you where you can’t go and what you can’t do, so you don’t mess with the local ecosystem. (海滩上的指示牌不是可选阅读的。他们告诉你哪里不能去，什么不能做，这样你就不会扰乱当地的生态系统。)”说明标识语指导海滩游客的行为，且这一句与后面一句里的 they构成紧密衔接，因此推断B项“一般建议去海滩的人远离沙丘”符合语境，承接下文“They are storm barriers and home to many animals. (它们是风暴的屏障，也是许多动物的家园。)”说明标识语会建议人们远离沙丘，因为沙丘是海滩动物的保护屏障和家园。故选B。 【20题详解】 前一句“Sea turtles have heavy bodies and they can die if they fall into a hole and get trapped. (海龟的身体很重，如果掉进洞里被困住，它们就会死亡。)”讲 在沙滩建立的沙堡和渠道的一个危害，E项“沙子结构也会阻止它们到达产仔区”符合语境，接着讲另外一个危害。故选E。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was on my way to go to a job interview when I was stopped by Officer Jenkins.

He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn’t afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go. So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn’t want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking “Who? And where?” loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat. To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn’t help but overhear(偷听) their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn’t have given in to Raine’s suggestion. 注意： 1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Soon the lights were turned of and the movie began. However, I didn’t enjoy the movie at all for fear of being spotted. I sank my body further into my seat, praying that they wouldn’t notice me. Every now and then I would steal glances at them. Every time they chatted in a whisper, my heart was pounding violently. Thankfully, after what seemed years, the movie came to an end and the lights came on. I waited anxiously until my aunt and uncle left the cinema. I let out a sigh of relief, dashed for the door and tried to make a quick exit with Raine. To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling. When they called out my name, I was so embarrassed that I lowered my head with a burning face, unsure of what to do. They walked up to me and my aunt asked why I was absent from school patiently. Palms sweating, I stammered out an excuse but they seemed unconvinced. Patting my shoulder gently, my uncle promised, “We won’t tell your father but hope that you won’t skip school again.” I nodded my head in great shame. From then on, this awkward experience kept reminding me of the importance of honesty and responsibility in my life. /This experience has taught me that sometimes we need to make a tough decision to do what is right. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与同学Raine一起逃学去看电影，结果没想到偶遇了叔叔和婶婶，最后作者被他们发现，也认识到了自己的错误，感到尴尬而羞愧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不一会儿，灯光熄灭了，电影开始了”可知，第一段可描写电影开始后至电影结束散场的情况，重点描述“我”看电影时前熬、紧张的动作和心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“令我吃惊的是，我的叔叔和婶婶正站在出口微笑”可知，第二段可描写看到叔叔婶婶等“我”后的尴尬而复杂的心情，以及叔叔他们对“我”说的具有教育意义的话，以及“我”的反思等。 2.续写线索：电影开始——心情害怕——电影接受——想要快速离开——被叔叔和婶婶发现——作者尴尬——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 承诺：promise /make a commitment 结束：come to an end /finish 看到：spot/catch sight of 情绪类 焦急：anxiously/ restlessly 尴尬：embarrassed /awkward 【点睛】[高分句型1] They walked up to me and my aunt asked why I was absent from school patiently.

A look at leather craftsmen in Florence will help you know more about Italian leather. The leather factory — PIEROTUCCI Join a free tour of the factory and you’ll get a deep dive into the process of making a handbag. After seeing what it takes to make a bag by hand, you’ll no longer wonder why PIEROTUCCI prices come with two zeros at the end. And you’ll know that if you do spend the money, the bag will last forever The leather shoe store — STEFANO BEMER STEFANO BEMER was famous for its hand-tailored shoes. The elegant store that sells shoes that cost hundreds, and in some cases thousands of dollars is also where apprentices (学徒) learn their skills: visible in the front section of the store. The leather school — Scuola del Cuoio Walking into the courtyard of the Scuola del Cuoio feels a little like walking onto a mini college campus. You leave the busy street as you enter the historic building. The school specializes in making one-of-a-kind bags and in teaching paying students the secrets of high-quality leather working. The bookbinding (书籍装订) store — IL Torchio Il Torchio is a beautiful bookbinding store run by Erin Ciulla. If you ask Ciulla, she might take you to see the “guillotine”, which is actually a very large, antique-looking machine that’s used to cut large amounts of paper. Beyond binding with leather covers, Ciulla also covers books, journals, and photo albums in hand-made papers. 1. What is the main reason for Pierotucci’s high price? A. The special material. B. The handmade process. C. The high cost of the visit. D. The long history of the factory. 2. Which places provide the opportunity to learn leather-making? A. Pierotucci and IL Torchio. B. Seuola del Cuoio and IL Torchio. C Pierotucci and Stefano Bemer. D. Stefano Bemer and Scuola del Cuoio. 3. What can you do in the bookbinding store? A. Buy a high-quality leather bag. B.

B On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo. The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries. While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him. On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project. Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries. 4. What is Jules’s Undersea Lodge special for? A. Its convenience. B. Its reputation. C. Its location. D. Its luxuriousness. 5. Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel? A. To treat his brain injuries. B. To live longer and healthier. C. To deal with medical problems. D. To test one of his academic ideas. 6. Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri’s undersea life? A. He kept a daily routine almost as usual. B. He was busy with medical experiments. C. He led a dull life separated from the others. D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater. 7. What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do? A. Communicate more with him. B. Explore the unknown bravely. C. Study the information of the project. D. Meet at the conference in Scotland. C As archaeologists (考古学家) examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China, they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics. Though hardened from over 1,000 years, there sat little dumplings. Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery. But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic (游牧的) Turkic peoples living in western China and Central Asia. This is thought to be the case because “manti,” meaning “dumpling” or “steamed bun” in many Turkic languages, appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages. Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat. But it’s unclear when this practice began, or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others. However this happened, dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China. Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years. Instead of the traditional meat filling, some communities chose vegetarian (素食) dumplings. People developed new cooking methods. The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues. Besides Turkic tribes, some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe. These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire. One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia, pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine. The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings there. Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings, which means “little lumps”. During the Second World War, Chinese “jiaozi” were brought to Japan. So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta? Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors. It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition. However, we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various. 8. What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings? A. The languages they used. B. Their eating habits. C. Their dumpling-making skills. D. The newly found tombs. 9. What does the phrase “gathered steam” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Originated. B. Stabilized. C. Got well-cooked. D. Became popular. 10. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The spreading process of dumplings. B. The possible origins of dumplings. C Differences between various dumplings. D. Reasons for the popularity of dumplings. 11. Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage? A. Delicious. B. Diverse. C. Unusual. D. Regional. D A new UK-based study on the effects of artificial light on local insect populations found that light pollution from street lamps disturbs insect behavior, leading to an overall loss of insects. “We found that street lighting strongly reduced moth (飞蛾) population compared with unlit sites... and affected moth development,” the study stated. The study’s results apply to a localized level and cannot be used to determine whether national-level populations are declining due to light pollution. However, it adds further weight to existing research on how light pollution affects ecosystems and biodiversity hotspots and highlights the need to shift to alternatives in artificial light that would tone down these effects. The effects on insect populations are wide-ranging. More specifically, artificial light affects how moths lay their eggs and puts them at a higher risk of being spotted by predators (捕食性动物). It also affects moths’ feeding behavior, which subsequently leads to declines in their population too. Light pollution thus joins a host of factors, such as climate change and deforestation, as one of the determinants of insect population decline. While previous studies examined the effects of lighting on bats and other vertebrates, this study focused on their prey—creatures lower down in the food chain—and, as a result, complementing (补充) previous studies. Therefore, the study is concerning because it suggests an alarming loss of insects caused by artificial light, which will have far-reaching consequences for all the wildlife and ecosystems that depend on them. Moreover, white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were found to have the worst impact on local insects and ecosystem processes. The researchers thus call for shifting away from white LEDs or employing processes such as motion sensors to make the lights less bright and changing colors and filters to avoid the negative impacts. If the findings of the study are anything to go by, local insect ecosystems will suffer considerable consequences- which will, in turn, affect the wildlife that depends on them and, ultimately, could perhaps even upset agricultural balances. 12. What can we learn about the new study? A. It is conducted on a local basis. B. It highlights the value of artificial light. C. It focuses on the preservation of insects. D. It matters more than the existing research. 13. What effect does artificial light have on moths? A. It may put them in danger. B. It prevents them from feeding. C It may lead to their extinction. D. It disables them from laying eggs. 14. What do the researchers advise us to do with the LEDs? A. To shift to green alternatives. B. To adopt brighter colors and filters. C. To avoid adopting white-light LEDs. D. To replace them with motion sensors. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Artificial Light and Wildlife Protection B. Light Pollution and the Endangered Species C. Artificial Light Has Negative Effects on Agriculture D. Light Pollution from Street Lights Could Drive Insect Loss 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以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。 Beach is a relaxing place to catch waves, get some sun, enjoy picnic, spot wildlife and go exploring.

He suggested that we skip school and go to the movies. I refused because my dad was very strict and I knew he would be mad. Raine offered various reasons but I still refused. Finally, he said there was a Will Smith movie at the local cinema and that I couldn’t afford to miss it. Finally curiosity got the better of me and I agreed to go. So we set off to the movies together, bought our tickets, popcorn and drinks and settled down comfortably. The movie was due to start in fifteen minutes and the lights were still on. We watched people coming in groups, families and there were couples too. Some of them looked like school students cutting classes like us. As I turned around, I suddenly caught sight of my uncle Andy and aunt Jane walking in. I sank into my seat quickly to avoid being spotted. I signaled to Raine that there was someone I didn’t want to see. But Raine made it more obvious by turning around and asking “Who? And where?” loudly, which made me sit even lower in my seat. To make things worse, they came and sat just in the row behind us. I couldn’t help but overhear(偷听) their conversation. They were discussing how much I would have loved to come to this movie, knowing my admiration for Will Smith. They were even commenting about the students cutting classes. They spoke in a low voice, but their words were loud enough for me to catch. They discussed the bad influence of cutting classes and the importance of studying hard at school. My heart sank with these words. It was as if they were unknowingly lecturing me, reminding me why I shouldn’t have given in to Raine’s suggestion. 注意： 1. 续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Soon the lights were turned off and the movie began. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: To my surprise, my uncle and aunt were standing at the exit smiling. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
