When Susan Greenstein Prescott was a high school senior, her English teacher, Fred DiMeo, gave her a terrifying task: recite (背诵) a poem in front of the whole class. “I had a stutter (口吃). I’d be trying to get a word out that might begin with ‘D’ or ‘TH’” Susan said. The thought of getting up in front of her classmates and stuttering through the poem was too much to bear. Susan went home and told her mom how scared she was. Her mom agreed to write a note asking for her to be excused from doing the work in front of the whole class. When the day of the recitation came, Susan recited the poem one-on-one to Fred. Once she was done, he said something she’d never heard before: he liked listening to her voice. For the first time, Susan considered the possibility that public speaking didn’t have to be a source of trepidation. “I think in his mind he wanted me to understand I have nothing to be afraid of,” she said. After college, Susan landed a job as a corporate trainer. The new position made her realize how big an impact Fred had had on her confidence. “I stand up in front of people and I speak. I do it all the time, and if I do stutter once in a while, no big deal,” she said. Susan recently found a way to contact her former teacher, and plans on sending him a letter expressing her appreciation. “He truly is an unsung hero,” she said. “I don’t know where I would’ve gone if I felt like I had to keep my voice quiet because I was afraid of embarrassing myself. I’d like to give him my thanks for that kindness.” 51. Why did Susan refuse the teacher’s task?

The brainchild of Israeli inventor Izhar Gafni, the fully functional bike that costs just $ 10 to make, is made entirely of cardboard (硬纸板). Mr. Gafni came up with the idea after he heard about a working canoe that had been made of cardboard. However, when he suggested the idea to engineers, they all told him that it was impossible. Not ready to accept failure, Mr. Gafni decided to try to build one himself. However, the task turned out to be harder than he had thought. Considering that the cardboard is normally used to make just boxes, there was not much idea on how to even get started. While being able to get the design right, his biggest difficulty was to create a bike strong enough to carry a rider of almost any size and weight. After experimenting with several choices he found out that by using the Japanese principals of origami (折纸) he could increase the weight the cardboard can bear. Therefore, he made the bike strong enough to carry a real rider. He then had to figure out a coating that would protect the bike in all kinds of weather conditions. While getting it right took a few models, the final result is a new bike coated with a finish ( 抛 光 ) that gives it the look and feel of lightweight plastic. It can carry as much as 485 pounds. Mr. Gafni is now working with some businessmen to get his cardboard creation into stores by late 2018. Considering that it costs only $10 to make the entire bike, he believes that the finished product could be sold for at least $80- $90, which makes it the coolest, cheapest, most eco-friendly bike in the world! 56. What does the underlined word “brainchild” mean? (1 word) ______________________________________________________________________ 57. What made Mr. Gafni have the idea of making a bike of cardboard? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did Mr. Gafni use the Japanese principals of origami to make his bike?

(no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 60. Please explain how you are encouraged by Izhar Gafni.

I ran to the door, but no one was there. T sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten (杂色猫) sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself. We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away.

Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead. Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already prohibits them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages. Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling. The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”. “Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television. The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world. 51.

Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a fall-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 71. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? (No more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________ 72. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? (No more than 10 Words) ______________________________________________________ 73. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? (No more than 5 Words) ______________________________________________________ 74. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) ______________________________________________________ 75. In your opinion, what’s the best way to stop killing animals?

The little boy looked slightly younger than my youngest son. At one point in the game, the little guy looked over to my son, and said, “Wanna be my friend?” My husband leaned over to tell me what he heard. I spent the next 20 minutes taking pictures of my oldest son on the court, and my youngest son, with his new buddy, playing games two seats down from where I sat. It was a heartwarming scene and reminded me how easy it can be to make new friends. A few hours earlier, we went to a downtown cafe for an afternoon treat. There were no free tables for four, so we took a table for two, and crowded into the small space, each taking a bite of everyone else’s order. We were loud. We were very likely annoying the college students with open laptops, drinking coffee and working hard to finish midterm papers. One such young lady came over to our table and said, “I have more room at my table. I am happy to trade with you guys so you can spread out.” It was a simple act but it showed a selfless heart. We politely refused her offer, but her kindness stuck with me for hours after it happened. These are just two of everyday kindnesses I often take for granted. Though often neglected by us, these small acts of service, friendliness and human care are what it takes to make the world go round. 51. What was heart - warming according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What did the lady in the cafe offer? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

He has spent his free time building his own nuclear reactor (核反应堆) in his home. Now, the boy is praised by city leaders for his achievement as he is the youngest person to have achieved nuclear fusion (核聚变). At just 12 years old, Jackson chose to spend his time exploring his interest in nuclear physics. After scouring the Internet, the student learned of the story of Taylor Wilson, an Arkansas boy who won recognition in the field of science as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion in 2008 at the age of 14. Jackson was greatly inspired by him. The process of the nuclear experiment is not easy at all. But Jackson thought if Wilson could do it, then he could, too. Maybe he could even break Wilson’s record in the process. The boy started his project by turning his playroom into a laboratory. Then he bought different kinds of things to build own nuclear fusion reactor. “The beginning of the scientific research was just learning about what other people had done with their fusion reactors,” Jackson said. His parents spent nearly $8,000 to $10,000 supporting his nuclear experiment. “With the money, I searched for and bought the parts that I needed. Often the parts I found were not exactly what I wanted, so I had to make improvements to them.” Jackson’s hard work finally paid off. Hours before his 13th birthday, he made history as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion in January last year. Months after the project, Jackson continued to test his fusion reactor to further prove his project. On Tuesday, Memphis City leaders officially praised Jackson’s achievements with a resolution. 56.

What does the underlined word in Para.2 probably mean? (1 word) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 58.

Why did Jackson have to make improvements to the parts?(no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 60.

McDowell’s advice to others is, and it’s certainly worked for him. This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. McDowell launched the company in 2012, which was originally called 4th Dimension Graphics. Two years later, it was recognized as Immersion Imaging. Surprisingly, he didn’t begin the company with the assistance of any partners, but instead founded it on his own with the experience and contacts that he already had. “It’s always been a one-person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now,” McDowell said. “I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working, Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income. Part of the reason McDowell ended up in the computer industry might be explained by the exposure he had as a child. However, he spends his free time on more than just computers. His real interest lies in aviation (航空). With his business spirit and success, McDowell won’t have a problem realizing his dreams of the sky one day. 51. What does McDowell’s company focus on? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 52. Why does McDowell want his company to be a one-person operation? (no more than 5 words) ___________________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined phrase “scale up” probably mean? (1 word) ___________________________________________________________________ 54. What interests McDowell more than computers?

From what I have seen, few do homework; instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects. Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don’t try it. In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability. Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out. Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in the future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students. 76. How should we use our extra periods in the author’s opinion? (No more than 9 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 77. Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study? (No more than 17 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 78. Why did the author take an art class? (No more than 12 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 79. Why did the clay pot show the author’s lack of artistic ability? (No more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 80. According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact us in the future?

I decided to make a quick trip to the newly opened ice cream shop close by, eager for a midday treat. As I stepped inside, the variety of flavors in the shop caught my eye. Although they were tempting, I ordered my preferred flavor in a con e for an immediate treat and chose two cups of chocolate ice cream to take home for my family. Enjoying my cone, I found perfect relaxation in its cool sweetness. I admired the shop’s attractive display of ice creams, each more colorful and inviting than the last. Now that my to-go order was ready I headed to the payment count er to settle the bill. There, I encountered an unexpected situation: the cashier, possibly distracted by the day’s rush, had forgotten to include the two cups of chocolate ice cream in my bill. Faced with a moral (道德的) dilemma, I found myself at a crossroads: on one side was the simple path of paying the bill and overlooking the mistake; on the other, the act of pointing out the error. I knew if I didn’t bring the billing error to his notice, the cost of my ice cream would be charged against his salary. At that moment, I made up my mind and approached the counter to point out what he had missed. His first shock gave way to great gratitude as he realized the financial loss I had saved him from. His repeated thanks and visible relief warmed my heart. The smile of relief on his face made me smile too. Leaving the ice cream shop, I felt really happy and satisfied. It reminded me of how good it feels to do the right thing instead of just taking the easy way out. The experience was not just about ice cream; it proved the value of doing what is right, ensuring the joy that comes from acts of honesty and kindness. 46.

It requires not only physical strength, but also complete mental concentration. But don’t tell 20-year-old Sasha diGuilian that. This fearless girl who has been controlling the sport ever since she entered this field, is just getting warmed up. The youngster says that she began climbing even before she could walk. As a baby, she was constantly escaping from her bed and as a young child always leading her friends to the nearest rocks or hills. Then at the age of seven she attended her brother’s birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and knew she had found her gift for rock climbing. Soon after, she joined the local center in her home town of Alexandria, Virginia and began climbing — first once a week, then twice and soon, almost every day. Her moment came at the age of nine when she won her first climbing competition by taking part in an event that she hadn’t even known, until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine(常规). Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously, but this time outside the gym — climbing real mountains. As a youngster, she won the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010. Then, as soon as she was old enough, she went on to win the Pan American Championship, the US National Championship and in 2011, at just 18 years of age, was crowned Female Overall World Champion in Arco, Italy . She is also the youngest woman to have completed a 5.14d graded climb. It is something that even most experienced climbers fear to try, because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death. 46.

There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students. Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life. Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality. I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food. 46. List at least two benefits of eating out according to the text.

(no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of Fred DiMeo? Please explain.

Panic. 54. What Fred said to her. 55. Fred is a teacher who can teach students according to their aptitude and is good at helping them build confidence. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Susan Greenstein Prescott在高中时期的一个经历，以及这个经历如何影响了她的生活，展现了老师Fred DiMeo对她的积极影响。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段““I had a stutter (口吃). I’d be trying to get a word out that might begin with ‘D’ or ‘TH’” Susan said. The thought of getting up in front of her classmates and stuttering through the poem was too much to bear.(“我有口吃。我要试着说出一个可能以‘D’或‘TH’开头的单词。”Susan说。一想到要站在同学面前结结巴巴地念完这首诗，她就难以忍受。)”可知，Susan拒绝老师的任务是因为她患有口吃，念诗的时候会结结巴巴的。故答案为Because she had a stutter. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“When the day of the recitation came, Susan recited the poem one-on-one to Fred. Once she was done, he said something she’d never heard before: he liked listening to her voice.(朗诵的日子到了，Susan对Fred一对一地朗诵了这首诗。她说完后，他说了一些她以前从未听过的话：他喜欢听她的声音。)”可知，Fred听完了Susan的朗诵后，说自己喜欢Susan的声音。故答案为Fred said he liked her voice. 【53题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据划线单词下文““I think in his mind he wanted me to understand I have nothing to be afraid of,” she said(“我想在他心里，他想让我明白，我没什么好害怕的，”她说。)”可知，划线单词的意思和“害怕、恐慌”相似。故答案为Panic. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“After college, Susan landed a job as a corporate trainer. The new position made her realize how big an impact Fred had had on her confidence.(大学毕业后，Susan找到了一份企业培训师的工作。这个新职位让她意识到Fred对她的信心产生了多大的影响。)”可推测，Fred当时对她所说的话让她有了信心。故答案为What Fred said to her. 【55题详解】 开放题。要求考生谈谈对Fred DiMeo的看法，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为Fred is a teacher who can teach students according to their aptitude and is good at helping them build confidence. 2.(23-24高一下.天津第四十七中学.期中)阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题 If you are in the market looking for a new bike, maybe you would like to consider this bicycle. The brainchild of Israeli inventor Izhar Gafni, the fully functional bike that costs just $ 10 to make, is made entirely of cardboard (硬纸板). Mr. Gafni came up with the idea after he heard about a working canoe that had been made of cardboard. However, when he suggested the idea to engineers, they all told him that it was impossible. Not ready to accept failure, Mr. Gafni decided to try to build one himself. However, the task turned out to be harder than he had thought. Considering that the cardboard is normally used to make just boxes, there was not much idea on how to even get started. While being able to get the design right, his biggest difficulty was to create a bike strong enough to carry a rider of almost any size and weight. After experimenting with several choices he found out that by using the Japanese principals of origami (折纸) he could increase the weight the cardboard can bear. Therefore, he made the bike strong enough to carry a real rider. He then had to figure out a coating that would protect the bike in all kinds of weather conditions. While getting it right took a few models, the final result is a new bike coated with a finish ( 抛 光 ) that gives it the look and feel of lightweight plastic. It can carry as much as 485 pounds. Mr. Gafni is now working with some businessmen to get his cardboard creation into stores by late 2018. Considering that it costs only $10 to make the entire bike, he believes that the finished product could be sold for at least $80- $90, which makes it the coolest, cheapest, most eco-friendly bike in the world! 56.

Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead. Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already prohibits them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages. Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling. The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been “really positive”. “Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television. The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world. 51. Why doesn’t Modbury allow the use of plastic bags?（no more than 10 words） ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What would be provided instead of plastic bags by shopkeepers in Modbury?（no more than 10 words） ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 53.

What is your opinion of disposable plastic bags? And why? （no more than 25words） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. To help the environment and cut waste /Because it wants to help the environment and cut waste. 52. Paper sacks and cloth carrier bags. 53. Bans/Forbids/Stops. 54. They will be sent for recycling 55. I think they should be banned, because they are bad for the environment. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍欧洲小镇Modbury禁止使用塑料袋，为顾客提供纸袋和布袋，从而保护环境。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste — a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.(英国西南部的一个小镇正在禁止使用塑料袋，以帮助环境保护和减少浪费——环保人士认为这是欧洲的第一步。)”可知，Modbury不允许使用塑料袋来帮助环境和减少浪费。故答案为To help the environment and cut waste或者Because it wants to help the environment and cut waste. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Shopkeepers in Modbury, population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.(Modbury有1500人口，店主们周六同意停止向顾客发放一次性塑料袋。他们说将提供纸袋和布袋。)”可知，Modbury的店主将提供纸袋和布袋，而不是塑料袋。故答案为Paper sacks and cloth carrier bags. 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段第一句“Last month, San Francisco became the first U. S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. (上个月，旧金山成为美国第一个禁止使用塑料食品袋的城市。)”可推测，划线句子中prohibit和ban为同一个意思，表示“禁止”。故答案填Bans或者Forbids或者Stops。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段“Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for recycling.(位于伦敦西南约225英里的Modbury也宣布了一项袋子大赦，允许当地人交出堆积在家中的塑料袋。它们将被送去回收。)”可知，这些塑料袋将被送去回收。故答案为They will be sent for recycling. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理即可，参考答案可以是：我认为它们应该被禁止，因为它们对环境有害。故答案为I think they should be banned, because they are bad for the environment. 5.(23-24高一下.天津咸水沽一中和东丽百中.期中)阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool. The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu. In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins. Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury (奢侈的) goods has become a fall-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals. 71. Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks? (No more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________ 72. What’s the main reason for killing sharks? (No more than 10 Words) ______________________________________________________ 73. Who helped California decide to ban the sale and possession of shark fin soup? (No more than 5 Words) ______________________________________________________ 74. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) ______________________________________________________ 75. In your opinion, what’s the best way to stop killing animals? (No more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________ 【答案】71. Because the world has realized that we need sharks to keep a balanced eco-system. 72. People kill sharks just for their fins. 73. Wild Aid and other organizations. 74. Change. 75. In my opinion, stopping selling and purchasing the animal products is the best way to stop killing animals. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述的是人们意识到了鲨鱼对于保持生态平衡的重要性，并开始采取行动保护日益减少的鲨鱼，同时也分析了鲨鱼数量减少的原因，并呼吁人们减少对野生动物产品的需求来减少对野生动物的猎杀。 【71题详解】 考查细节理解。根据首段中的“Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.(然而，我们高兴地看到全球努力保护日益减少的鲨鱼数量。世界已经意识到，我们需要像鲨鱼这样的物种来保持生态系统的平衡。)”可知，为什么人们开始努力保护数量下降的鲨鱼是因为世界已经意识到我们需要鲨鱼来维持生态系统的平衡。。故答案是Because the world has realized that we need sharks to keep a balanced ecosystem. 【72题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，威胁着鲨鱼的灭绝——每年仅为了鱼翅就杀死多达 1 亿条鲨鱼。)”可知，人们对鲨鱼翅的需求在日益增长，所以猎杀鲨鱼主要是为了得到鲨鱼翅。故答案是People kill sharks just for their fins. 【73题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.(在加利福尼亚州，通过野生援助组织和其他组织的努力，禁止销售和拥有鱼翅汤的禁令已于今年生效。)”可知，在Wild Aid and other organizations的努力下，禁止销售和持有鱼翅汤的禁令开始生效。故答案是Wild Aid and other organizations. 【74题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction (灭绝)—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins.(几十年来，对鱼翅的需求一直在上升，威胁着鲨鱼的灭绝——每年仅为了鱼翅就杀死多达 1 亿条鲨鱼。)”可知，由于对鲨鱼翅的需求日益增加，每年就有1亿多条鲨鱼被猎杀，结合下文中的but可知，划线单词所在的句子与该句的内容是转折关系，结合“we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.(我们已经开始reverse这一趋势，特别是在美国和海外的许多地区，餐馆曾经自豪地在菜单上提供美味的鱼翅。)”可知，很多地区的这一趋势发生了翻转，由此可推断，reverse的意思为“改变”。故答案是Change. 【75题详解】 开放型题目。根据文章最后一段中的“Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.(美国与国际伙伴一道，正在领导全世界减少对依赖杀害动物的高端产品的需求的努力。)”可知，减少对高端产品的需求可以减少对野生动物的杀害，所以，在我看来禁止野生动物产品的买卖是最好的组织猎杀野生动物的方法。故答案是In my opinion, stopping selling and purchasing the animal products is the best way to stop killing animals. 6.(22-23高一下.天津部分区.期中)阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 One night, during the first of my eldest son’s three basketball games, we happened to be sitting next to a lady with a young son. The little boy looked slightly younger than my youngest son. At one point in the game, the little guy looked over to my son, and said, “Wanna be my friend?” My husband leaned over to tell me what he heard. I spent the next 20 minutes taking pictures of my oldest son on the court, and my youngest son, with his new buddy, playing games two seats down from where I sat. It was a heartwarming scene and reminded me how easy it can be to make new friends. A few hours earlier, we went to a downtown cafe for an afternoon treat. There were no free tables for four, so we took a table for two, and crowded into the small space, each taking a bite of everyone else’s order. We were loud. We were very likely annoying the college students with open laptops, drinking coffee and working hard to finish midterm papers. One such young lady came over to our table and said, “I have more room at my table. I am happy to trade with you guys so you can spread out.” It was a simple act but it showed a selfless heart. We politely refused her offer, but her kindness stuck with me for hours after it happened. These are just two of everyday kindnesses I often take for granted. Though often neglected by us, these small acts of service, friendliness and human care are what it takes to make the world go round. 51. What was heart - warming according to Paragraph 1?

It tells me how easy it is to make friends and be friendly to others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过两件身边发生的小事感悟到了每日都在发生着的善良的举动，认为这是世界运转所需要的。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I spent the next 20 minutes taking pictures of my oldest son on the court, and my youngest son, with his new buddy, playing games two seats down from where I sat. It was a heartwarming scene (接下来的20分钟里，我在球场上给大儿子拍照，小儿子和他的新伙伴在离我坐的地方两个座位的地方玩游戏。这是一个温暖人心的场景)”可知，温暖人心的场景是作者看见小儿子和她的新伙伴一起玩耍，故填Seeing my youngest son playing games with his new buddy. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One such young lady came over to our table and said, “I have more room at my table. I am happy to trade with you guys so you can spread out.” (一位这样的年轻女士走到我们的桌子前说：“我的桌子上空间多。我很乐意和你们交换，这样你们就可以分散开坐”)”可知年轻女士主动要求交换的是桌子，故填To trade table with us. 【53题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词上文“These are just two of everyday kindnesses I often take for granted (这只是我日常认为理所当然的两种善意)”可知作者认为这些善举被我们认为理所当然，从而忽视它们的存在，所以划线词的含义应为“忽视”，故填Ignored. 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It was a heartwarming scene and reminded me how easy it can be to make new friends. (这是一个温暖人心的场景，提醒我结交新朋友是多么容易)”、第三段“We politely refused her offer, but her kindness stuck with me for hours after it happened.(我们礼貌地拒绝了她的提议，但事情发生后，她的善意一直伴随着我好几个小时)”以及最后一段“These are just two of everyday kindnesses I often take for granted (这只是我日常认为理所当然的两种善意)”可推理出，作者认为自己不应该把这些善意认为理所当然，故填She shouldn’t have taken everyday kindnesses for granted. 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At one point in the game, the little guy looked over to my son, and said, “Wanna be my friend?” (在比赛的过程中，小家伙看着我儿子说：“想成为我的朋友吗？”)”以及“my youngest son, with his new buddy, playing games two seats down from where I sat. It was a heartwarming scene (我的小儿子和他的新伙伴在离我坐的地方两个座位的地方玩游戏。这是一个温暖人心的场景)”可知，小孩子之间成为朋友很容易，而且在大人忙碌的时候，他们通过对彼此友好度过了美好的时光，因此文章中第一个故事最能打动我，我的感受是：交朋友并对他人友好是很容易的，故填The first story touched me most. It tells me how easy it is to make friends and be friendly to others. 7.(22-23高一下.天津第一百中学.期中)阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 While other teenagers might be busy taking care of their personal pages online or playing games for hours, 14-year-old Jackson Oswalt from Memphis has been busy doing something different. He has spent his free time building his own nuclear reactor (核反应堆) in his home. Now, the boy is praised by city leaders for his achievement as he is the youngest person to have achieved nuclear fusion (核聚变). At just 12 years old, Jackson chose to spend his time exploring his interest in nuclear physics. After scouring the Internet, the student learned of the story of Taylor Wilson, an Arkansas boy who won recognition in the field of science as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion in 2008 at the age of 14. Jackson was greatly inspired by him. The process of the nuclear experiment is not easy at all. But Jackson thought if Wilson could do it, then he could, too. Maybe he could even break Wilson’s record in the process. The boy started his project by turning his playroom into a laboratory. Then he bought different kinds of things to build own nuclear fusion reactor. “The beginning of the scientific research was just learning about what other people had done with their fusion reactors,” Jackson said. His parents spent nearly $8,000 to $10,000 supporting his nuclear experiment. “With the money, I searched for and bought the parts that I needed. Often the parts I found were not exactly what I wanted, so I had to make improvements to them.” Jackson’s hard work finally paid off. Hours before his 13th birthday, he made history as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion in January last year. Months after the project, Jackson continued to test his fusion reactor to further prove his project. On Tuesday, Memphis City leaders officially praised Jackson’s achievements with a resolution. 56.

McDowell launched the company in 2012, which was originally called 4th Dimension Graphics. Two years later, it was recognized as Immersion Imaging. Surprisingly, he didn’t begin the company with the assistance of any partners, but instead founded it on his own with the experience and contacts that he already had. “It’s always been a one-person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now,” McDowell said. “I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working, Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income. Part of the reason McDowell ended up in the computer industry might be explained by the exposure he had as a child. However, he spends his free time on more than just computers. His real interest lies in aviation (航空). With his business spirit and success, McDowell won’t have a problem realizing his dreams of the sky one day. 51. What does McDowell’s company focus on?

From what I have seen, few do homework; instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects. Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don’t try it. In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability. Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out. Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in the future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students. 76.

I decided to make a quick trip to the newly opened ice cream shop close by, eager for a midday treat. As I stepped inside, the variety of flavors in the shop caught my eye. Although they were tempting, I ordered my preferred flavor in a con e for an immediate treat and chose two cups of chocolate ice cream to take home for my family.

Faced with a moral (道德的) dilemma, I found myself at a crossroads: on one side was the simple path of paying the bill and overlooking the mistake; on the other, the act of pointing out the error. I knew if I didn’t bring the billing error to his notice, the cost of my ice cream would be charged against his salary. At that moment, I made up my mind and approached the counter to point out what he had missed. His first shock gave way to great gratitude as he realized the financial loss I had saved him from. His repeated thanks and visible relief warmed my heart. The smile of relief on his face made me smile too. Leaving the ice cream shop, I felt really happy and satisfied. It reminded me of how good it feels to do the right thing instead of just taking the easy way out. The experience was not just about ice cream; it proved the value of doing what is right, ensuring the joy that comes from acts of honesty and kindness. 46.

It requires not only physical strength, but also complete mental concentration. But don’t tell 20-year-old Sasha diGuilian that. This fearless girl who has been controlling the sport ever since she entered this field, is just getting warmed up. The youngster says that she began climbing even before she could walk. As a baby, she was constantly escaping from her bed and as a young child always leading her friends to the nearest rocks or hills. Then at the age of seven she attended her brother’s birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and knew she had found her gift for rock climbing. Soon after, she joined the local center in her home town of Alexandria, Virginia and began climbing — first once a week, then twice and soon, almost every day. Her moment came at the age of nine when she won her first climbing competition by taking part in an event that she hadn’t even known, until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine(常规). Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously, but this time outside the gym — climbing real mountains. As a youngster, she won the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010. Then, as soon as she was old enough, she went on to win the Pan American Championship, the US National Championship and in 2011, at just 18 years of age, was crowned Female Overall World Champion in Arco, Italy . She is also the youngest woman to have completed a 5.14d graded climb.

There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students. Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面) is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life. Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality. I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food. 46. List at least two benefits of eating out according to the text.

Choice./Selection./Alternative. 48. The advantages/benefits of eating at home. 49. Less quantity, more quality. 50. Yes, I do. Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了外出就餐和在家就餐各自的好处，并对在家就餐购买食材给出一些建议。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup. (有人为你的每一个需求服务的体验，有一种和朋友在餐馆里的社交体验，当然，还有一种不需要在家里做清理的巨大好处。)”可知，在外就餐的好处是服务员可以为你服务、可以和朋友待在一起、不必做清理工作。故答案为The waiters can wait on you and you can stay with your friends. 【47题详解】 考查词句猜测。划线词句前文“We all also know eating out can be expensive, and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most financially successful time in a normal person’s life.(我们都知道在外面吃饭很贵，而且我很确定大学不是普通人生活中最赚钱的时期。)”说明大学生没钱在外面吃饭，常选择在家吃饭，从而推知划线词句“That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.(这就是为什么大多数时候在家吃饭真的是许多大学生的唯一选择。)”其中划线词应为“选择”的意思。故答案为Choice./Selection./Alternative。 【48题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull, boring, or difficult. It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food.(在家吃饭并不一定是枯燥、无聊或困难的。它可以也应该是一种充满活力、创造性的体验，改变你看待食物的方式。)”以及“Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen sills I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.(把在家吃饭作为一个学习和发展你的厨房技能的机会，我向你保证，它们将在你的余生中是有用的和有益的。)”可知，本段主要介绍了在家吃饭的好处。故答案为The advantages/benefits of eating at home。 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food——less quantity, more quality.

Because eating at home is better for our health. Cooking our own food can keep the ingredients healthy and clean。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
