The following are several examples of artificial intelligence. 1. Olly An artificial intelligence assistant named Olly, is more advanced and developed than Siri and Alexa. It is integrated with deep learning and natural language processing features. This technology is said to be quite helpful for people living alone or going through sadness. It can copy the reactions of a friend or companion. 2. Pathai Pathai is a strong example of artificial intelligence that helps pathologists (病理学家) follow the test reports more conveniently. This can help save hundreds of lives by correctly diagnosing and determining the underlying diseases. This interference of AI in the healthcare department has proven to be fruitful for the patients and time-saving for the pathologists. 3. Drone You must have heard the word drone, but AI-based drones are one step advanced from your typical drones. These aerial devices are used for many different reasons. The use of drones has proven to be very beneficial in the military and surveillance sector (监管部门) but it has also started to benefit the average consumer, saving time and relieving traffic jams. 4. GPS GPS is a necessity nowadays. It not only helps to reach far places and areas but also assists in the way. Its artificial intelligence predicts the estimated time of reaching a destination by analyzing traffic situations in real-time. GPS also gathers data from thousands of cars and predicts the best route for every car. 1. Which of the following benefits people feeling depressed the most? A. Olly. B. Pathai. C. Drone. D. GPS. 2. What do Drone and GPS have in common? A. They are necessities in daily life. B. They contribute to smooth traffic. C. They rely on the responses of their owners. D. They are mainly employed by governments. 3. Which section of a newspaper is the passage possibly taken from? A. All About Health. B. Self-driving Adventures. C. The Theories Explained. D. Game-changing Innovations. B Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP,标准发音) accent,also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents. Scouse, Glaswegian and the Black Country — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life. In a 2015 study by the University of New South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was the Brummie accent, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class. However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you advantages.  Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said. So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends. 4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent. B. Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK. C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English. D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”. 5. What do people think of the Brummie accent? A. It is favored by foreign visitors to the UK. B. It is closest to the RP accent. C. It is smart and easy to understand. D. It is spoken by people of the working class. 6 What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Speaking in a RP accent. B. Speaking in regional accents. C. Speaking the Brummie accent. D. Speaking like Harry Potter. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain. B. A comparison between different British accents. C. How much British people value the RP accent. D. The impact of regional accents on people’s lives. C Is It Worth Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (标签). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious (有营养的) and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren’t necessarily more nutritious, and they’re no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either. The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. “We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,” says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. “So consumers shouldn’t assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.” For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats. While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends. Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn’t always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that “Whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic. 8 The new research questions whether organic food ________. A. should replace traditional food B. has been overpriced by farmers C. is grown with less harmful chemicals D. is really more nutritious and healthier 9. Smith Spangler and her colleagues found that ________. A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food 10. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage? A. Organic chicken and pork. B. Organic milk and chicken. C. Traditional chicken and pork. D Traditional fruit and vegetables. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward organic food? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Approving. D Friends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic (运动) talent (天赋), travel to perilous places — the jungles (丛林) of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals. I never know how to answer. Nine years ago I suffered a stroke (中风). To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I’d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky (冒险的). I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, I could not be happy without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we’d toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇). Before the stroke it would’ve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knew where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure (冒险) travel come back. In the years since then, I’ve traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out — no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What’s more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself. 12. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Energetic. B. Dangerous. C. Romantic D. Famous. 13. What did the doctors advise the author to do? A. Do proper exercise. B. Enjoy the rest of her life. C. Spend more time with her family D. Keep away (远离) from traveling 14. Why did the author mention her travel to China? A. It was her last adventure. B. She recovered (恢复) her courage (勇气) through it. C. She liked the beautiful scenery in China. D. It was the most dangerous experience in her life. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A business trip to China B. Stroke, a dangerous disease C. How I overcame the fear of disease D. Why I still travel to the wild 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Build your own first aid kit Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere, so being prepared for one is important.

You are overweight. Have you ever heard about Body Mass Index (指数), BMI? Well, I’ve weighed you and measured your height and you have a BMI of 28. That is obese (肥胖的),” said the doctor. I knew I was a little bit overweight but I didn’t think it was that bad. He added that my name means healthy in Chinese and he thought it is time that I should become healthy. There is a direct link between my health and sport. So he asked me, “How much sport do you do every week?” I told him that I go for a walk every weekend. Then he replied, “Hmm, that’s not a lot. Sport and health go together. They affect your mental, physical and emotional health. For example, sport can improve your mental health, allowing your brain to think better and focus. It will help you to learn more easily. Is that clear, Jian?” “I think so I know it would be good to be able to concentrate better at school.” I said. The doctor explained to me that from a physical point of view, sport makes us tired so helps us to sleep better. At the same time, sport bums off the calories that we have consumed. It builds muscle and improves our circulation. Sport helps to control our cholesterol count (胆固醇指标) and this is important to stop us having a heart attack. Additionally, it also keeps our blood pressure normal and strengthens our bones.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章讲述了运用AI技术所创新出来的一些技术和产品，可以很大程度地改善人类的生活。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Olly的叙述中“This technology is said to be quite helpful for people living alone or going through sadness. It can copy the reactions of a friend or companion. (据说这项技术对独自生活或经历悲伤的人很有帮助。它可以模仿朋友或同伴的反应。)”可知，Olly对于感觉抑郁的人最有利。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Drone中“The use of drones has proven to be very beneficial in the military and surveillance sector (监管部门) but it has also started to benefit the average consumer, saving time and relieving traffic jams. (无人机的使用已被证明在军事和监视领域非常有益，但它也开始使普通消费者受益，节省时间并缓解交通拥堵。)”以及GPS中“. GPS also gathers data from thousands of cars and predicts the best route for every car. (GPS还从数千辆汽车中收集数据，并预测每辆汽车的最佳路线。)”可知，二者的共同之处为能够促进交通顺畅。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Artificial intelligence is a complex computer science concept. The following are several examples of artificial intelligence.

Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP,标准发音) accent,also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents. Scouse, Glaswegian and the Black Country — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life. In a 2015 study by the University of New South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was the Brummie accent, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class. However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you advantages.  Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an Internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said. So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends. 4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1? A. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent. B. Only “the Queen’s English” is accepted in the UK. C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English. D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”. 5. What do people think of the Brummie accent? A It is favored by foreign visitors to the UK. B. It is closest to the RP accent. C. It is smart and easy to understand. D. It is spoken by people of the working class. 6. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Speaking in a RP accent. B. Speaking in regional accents. C. Speaking the Brummie accent. D. Speaking like Harry Potter. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain. B. A comparison between different British accents. C. How much British people value the RP accent. D. The impact of regional accents on people’s lives. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国的口音多样性，以及人们对于标准发音（RP，即“女王英语”）的误解。文章也指出，不使用标准发音并不意味着不利，有时甚至可能带来优势。文章鼓励人们尝试学习和使用英国不同地区的口音，以促进与当地人的交流和友谊。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation accent, also called ‘the Queen’s English’.( 通常，许多非英国人都认为英国人说的都是标准发音口音，也被称为“女王英语”。)”可知，非英国人通常认为，所有的英国人都有标准口音。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The lowest-rated accent was the Brummie accent, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered the working class.(评分最低的是伯明翰口音，这是伯明翰人的母语，伯明翰的口音被认为是工人阶级的口音。)”可知，人们认为工人阶级的人说伯明翰口音。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in a RP accent. (然而，即使你说的不是标准发音口音，也没有必要感到失望。)”可知，然而，尽管你发音不标准，也没有必要失望。由此推断出此处表达的是“事实上，说话带有地方口音甚至可能会给你优势。B选项“Speaking in regional accents.(操地方口音。)”与原文表达一致。故选B。 7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文通过介绍英国标准音之外的一些方言使用情况，说明了英国的口音多样性以及地方口音对人们生活的影响。文章也指出，不使用标准发音并不意味着不利，有时甚至可能带来优势。例如，一个来自首尔的网红通过学习英国不同地区的口音，在网上展示这些口音，从而赢得了当地人的好感和友谊。D选项“The impact of regional accents on people’s lives.(地区口音对人们生活的影响。)”概括文章主要内容，符合题意。故选D。 C Is It Worth Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (标签). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious (有营养的) and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren’t necessarily more nutritious, and they’re no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either. The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. “We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,” says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. “So consumers shouldn’t assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.” For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats. While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends. Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn’t always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that “Whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic. 8. The new research questions whether organic food ________. A. should replace traditional food B. has been overpriced by farmers C. is grown with less harmful chemicals D. is really more nutritious and healthier 9. Smith Spangler and her colleagues found that ________. A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food 10. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage? A. Organic chicken and pork. B. Organic milk and chicken. C. Traditional chicken and pork. D. Traditional fruit and vegetables. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward organic food? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Approving. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍说明了有机食品不一定是更有营养、更健康这一事实，告诉人们没有必要一定要多花钱购买有机食物。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段““We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,” says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford.(“我们没有发现强有力的证据表明有机食品更有营养或更健康，”斯坦福大学的Crystal Smith-Spangler说。)”可知，这项研究质疑有机食品更有营养更健康，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段“Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards.(有机食品和传统食品的化学物质含量都没有高到超出食品安全标准的程度。)”可知，他们所检查的有机和传统食物都是安全可食用的，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a health y fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.(研究人员确实发现，有机牛奶和鸡肉含有更高水平的omega-3脂肪酸，这种健康的脂肪也存在于鱼类中，可以降低患心脏病的风险。)”可知，有机牛奶和鸡肉相对健康。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 由第四段“However, these nutritional differences were too small(然而，这些营养差异太小了)”以及最后一段最后一句“Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.(新鲜食品至少和市场上宣传的有机食品一样好。)”可知，作者认为没有必要一定要多花钱买有机食物，因此作者对有机食品的态度是怀疑的，故选A。 D Friends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic (运动) talent (天赋), travel to perilous places — the jungles (丛林) of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals. I never know how to answer. Nine years ago I suffered a stroke (中风). To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I’d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky (冒险的). I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, I could not be happy without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we’d toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇). Before the stroke it would’ve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knew where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure (冒险) travel come back. In the years since then, I’ve traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out — no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What’s more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself. 12. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Energetic. B. Dangerous. C. Romantic D. Famous. 13. What did the doctors advise the author to do? A. Do proper exercise. B. Enjoy the rest of her life. C. Spend more time with her family D. Keep away (远离) from traveling 14. Why did the author mention her travel to China? A. It was her last adventure. B. She recovered (恢复) her courage (勇气) through it. C. She liked the beautiful scenery in China. D. It was the most dangerous experience in her life. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A business trip to China B. Stroke, a dangerous disease C. How I overcame the fear of disease D. Why I still travel to the wild 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了自己为什么要进行冒险旅行的原因以及进行冒险旅行和意义。 12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“the jungles (丛林) of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals.( 例如，泰国或婆罗洲的丛林，那里的水往往不安全，食物也有风险；有传染病、毒蛇和最凶猛动物的地方)”可知，是去危险的地方旅行，故划线单词perilous是“危险”的意思。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I’d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky (冒险的).(我的医生告诉我，为了防止再次中风，我必须在余生中服用危险的高浓度血液稀释剂，而且任何旅行都是危险的)”可知，医生建议作者要远离旅行。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we’d toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).(对我旅行勇气的第一次真正考验是在我中风九个月后，我和丈夫杰克一起去中国出差。我们参观了一座高山上的唐代寺庙遗迹后，杰克想坐雪橇下山)”以及第五段“Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure (冒险) travel come back.(然后，不知从什么地方获得了信心，我小心翼翼地钻进了雪橇，这标志着我的冒险旅行又回来了)”可推知，作者提到她到中国的旅行，是因为她通过这次旅行恢复了勇气。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What’s more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.(对我来说，冒险旅行是值得冒险的。旅行拓宽了我的世界，让我与大自然保持联系。更重要的是，对旅行说“是”能让我和自己保持联系)”结合作者主要讲述了自己为什么要进行冒险旅行的原因以及进行冒险旅行和意义。故D选项“为什么我还在野外旅行”最符合文章标题。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Build your own first aid kit Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere, so being prepared for one is important.

(在家里准备一个合适的急救箱是一个简单但重要的应急准备部分。)”提到准备合适的家庭急救箱的重要性，后文“Instead of getting such one, you can save money and ensure the kit is personalized to suit you and your family’s particular needs by creating your own. (与其买这样一个，你可以通过创建自己的急救箱来省钱，确保它是个性化的，以满足你和你家人的特殊需求。)”建议自己创建急救箱，而非购买，并解释其好处，因此G项“First aid kits on the market often lack what you want or have something useless for you (市场上的急救箱往往缺少你想要的东西，或者有些东西对你没用)”符合语境，指出市场上的急救箱的缺点，引出后文的建议。故选G。 【17题详解】 前文“Pick a good container. One good option is a large, water resistant, rigid or flexible plastic container. This makes the materials inside visible for easy identification and safe. (选择一个好的容器。一个不错的选择是一个大的、防水的、刚性的或柔性的塑料容器。这使得内部的材料可见，便于识别和安全。)”主要介绍急救箱的箱体的选择，并介绍选择背后的理由，后文“A handle is ideal out of consideration for that. (考虑到这一点，手柄是理想的。)”提到要选有手柄的，因此D项“The kit should be easy to transport as needed to the emergency (急救箱应便于运送到需要紧急情况的地方)”符合语境，指出急救箱需方便运输的特质，引出后文的手柄的选择，后文的that指代选项内容。故选D。 【18题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容。根据后文“One should include all of your basic medicinal supplies, such as bandages (绷带), gloves and scissors, while the second one includes medicine. (一个急救箱应该包括你所有的基本医疗用品，如绷带、手套和剪刀，而第二个包括药物。)”可知，急救箱应有两个部分，分别放医疗用品和药物，因此B项“Separate the first aid kit into two sections (把急救箱分成两部分)”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的two sections呼应后文的One和the second one。故选B。 【19题详解】 前文“Make sure that the important basic medical tools and medicines are contained in it. (确保箱内有重要的基本医疗工具和药品。)”提醒急救箱内物品要覆盖重要的基本品，后文“However, when it comes to bandages, wipes and other lightweight items, the more the merrier. (然而，当涉及到绷带、湿巾和其他轻便物品时，越多越好。)”介绍急救箱内物品的数量，轻便物品数量越多越好，因此E项“The number of each item will depend on the size of your family (每个物品的数量将取决于你的家庭规模)”符合语境，提醒物品的数量与家庭规模相关，承接前文，和后文形成转折。故选E。 【20题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容。根据后文“When one of your family is crying about a cut on her finger, you don’t want your home kit buried at the back of a cupboard or lost because it’s not being returned to the same spot after each use. Establish a clearly-defined, consistent spot for it. Let small children know where the kit is located, but place it where they cannot reach it. (当你家人因为手指上的伤口而哭泣时，你肯定不希望你的家庭用具被埋在橱柜后面，或者因为每次使用后没有放回同一个地方而丢失。为它建立一个清晰、一致的位置。让小孩子知道急救箱的位置，但是要放在他们够不到的地方。)”可知，本段主要介绍急救箱应当放置的位置，需要方便拿取，且考虑小孩子的安全，因此A项“Make your first aid kit safely accessible (让你的急救箱可以安全地拿到)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选A。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to Santa Ana, California.

You are overweight. Have you ever heard about Body Mass Index (指数), BMI? Well, I’ve weighed you and measured your height and you have a BMI of 28. That is obese (肥胖的),” said the doctor. I knew I was a little bit overweight but I didn’t think it was that bad. He added that my name means healthy in Chinese and he thought it is time that I should become healthy. There is a direct link between my health and sport. So he asked me, “How much sport do you do every week?” I told him that I go for a walk every weekend. Then he replied, “Hmm, that’s not a lot. Sport and health go together. They affect your mental, physical and emotional health. For example, sport can improve your mental health, allowing your brain to think better and focus. It will help you to learn more easily. Is that clear, Jian?” “I think so. I know it would be good to be able to concentrate better at school.” I said. The doctor explained to me that from a physical point of view, sport makes us tired so helps us to sleep better. At the same time, sport bums off the calories that we have consumed. It builds muscle and improves our circulation. Sport helps to control our cholesterol count (胆固醇指标) and this is important to stop us having a heart attack. Additionally, it also keeps our blood pressure normal and strengthens our bones. Para 1: The doctor’s words left me lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: “Exercising alone is hard. Why not: try some team sports?” the doctor suggested. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: The doctor’s words left me lost in thought. I realized that I needed to take my health more seriously and make some changes to my lifestyle. I started to look into different sports and exercises that I could do to improve my health. I also began to pay more attention to my diet, cutting out unhealthy foods and replacing them with healthier alternatives. I knew that it wouldn't be easy, but I was determined to make a change. Para 2: “Exercising alone is hard. Why not: try some team sports?” the doctor suggested. I thought about it for a moment and realized that he was right. I had always been hesitant to join a sports team, but I decided to give it a try. I joined a local soccer team and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Not only was getting the exercise that I needed, but I was also making new friends and having fun in the process. I started to look forward to our weekly practices and games, and I could feel myself getting stronger and healthier with each passing week. Thanks to my doctor's advice, I had found a new way to improve my health and my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为超重，身体健康出现了问题。在听从了医生的建议后，作者开始锻炼，改变自己的饮食，最终结交了新朋友，并在这个过程中获得了乐趣。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“医生的话使我陷入了沉思”可知，第一段可描写作者开始改变自己的生活方式。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘独自锻炼很难。为什么不试试团队运动呢？’医生建议道”可知，第二段可描写作者从事团队运动，得到了乐趣。 2.续写线索：反思医生的话——开始做出改变——下定决心——参与团队运动——获得乐趣——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②代替：replace/take place of ③过得愉快：have fun/enjoy oneself 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitant/ tentative ②惊讶：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] I realized that I needed to take my health more seriously and make some changes to my lifestyle.
