A 【解析】 【原文】M: Next is a piece of inspiring news from China. On Wednesday, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge officially opened to public traffic. This is the world’s longest cross sea bridge. Connecting the east and west side of the pearl river delta in south China, this bridge is 55 kilometers long and took nine years in total to complete. Construction on the bridge cost about 120 billion Yuan. The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge is unique in many ways. It has a service life of 120 years, 20 years, longer than most bridges. And it’s not just a bridge, but also part tunnel and part island. In one part, the bridge turns into a 6 — 7 kilometer undersea tunnel that passes through two man made islands. It used to take three hours to travel between Hong Kong and Zhuhai, but now with this new bridge, the travel time has been cut down to 30 minutes, according to China daily. You need a special permit to drive across the bridge and pay between 60 Yuan to 300 Yuan. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Foods of the Future We asked young scientists to write an advertisement that answers this question: How will food options, food availability, and individuals’ food choices change in the future?

B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章提供了未来食物选择的几个营销活动，以供人们做出选择。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Personalized Meal Plans中的“Send us your DNA, and we will predict your food preferences!”可知，这个营销活动需要你发送自己的DNA，然后其根据DNA信息将预测出你的食物偏好。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Pick fruits with your family Yongsheng Ji”可知，你可以与家人一起享受采摘水果的快乐。该营销活动提供的联系人是Yongsheng Ji。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our steaks are sourced from natural grasslands, where cattle now fill the ecological roles.”可知，这个营销活动的牛排来自天然草原，那里的牛吃着原生态的草。由此可知，在天然草原长大的牛吃的是没有污染的草，因此牛排是绿色无污染的。故选B。 B Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 24. What attracted the early settlers to New York City? A. Its business culture. B. Its small population. C. Its geographical position. D. Its favourable climate. 25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson? A. Two-thirds of them stayed there. B. One out of five people got rich. C. Almost everyone gave up. D. Half of them died. 26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson? A. They found the city too crowded. B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere. C. They were unable to stand the winter. D. They were short of food. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The rise and fall of a city. B. The gold rush in Canada. C. Journeys into the wilderness. D. Tourism in Dawson. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Dawson这座城市的发展原因、过程与现状。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.可知，人们选择在河边或港口设城是因为交通方便，便于做生意。而纽约就是在哈德森河口附近的一个大港口，故纽约吸引早期移民的原因是它的地理位置，故C正确。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.可知，在最初挖黄金的两万人中有4000人变富有，所以是五分之一的人变富了，故B正确。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.可知，人们离开Dawson的主要原因是听说在Alaska发现了黄金，也就是他们要去别的地方寻找发财的机会。故B正确。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段简要介绍城市发展的原因，引出Dawson这一城市的兴起，第二段介绍了该城市兴起的原因，第三段介绍人们选择离开该城市的原因及现在的状况，所以全文围绕Dawson这个城市的发展起伏。故A正确。 【点睛】主旨大意题的解题技巧：一篇文章都是围绕着一个中心思想或一个话题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕Dawson的发展展开，Dawson反复出现，再根据每一段的段首句可以总结出，文章第一段通过城市发展的原因引出Dawson，第二段介绍Dawson发展的原因，第三段介绍人们选择离开该城市的原因及现在的状况，从而总结出文章的主旨大意。 C In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said. The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo. Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defending. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical, and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict. Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO. 28. What do we know about tulou? A. Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status. B. Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally. C. They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function. D. Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement. 29. What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict? A. Escape tunnels. B. Enough food. C. Small windows. D. Defensive weapons. 30. What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments B. Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings C. Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008 D. Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的土楼建筑，介绍了其建造特点、功能等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中““The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.(联合国教科文组织表示：“这些建筑获奖是因为它们是传统和功能建筑的杰出典范，展示了一种特殊类型的集体生活和防御性组织，而且就其与环境的和谐关系而言，它们是人类住区的杰出典范。”)”可知，土楼是具有传统和功能的杰出建筑。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict.(有了充足的食物，居民们可以在长期冲突中生存下来)”可知，在长期的冲突中，居民最重要的是足够的食物。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO.(土楼是如此非凡的建筑，无愧于联合国教科文组织授予的称号)”可推知，作者对土楼保护的态度可能是支持的。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中““The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.(联合国教科文组织表示：“这些建筑获奖是因为它们是传统和功能建筑的杰出典范，展示了一种特殊类型的集体生活和防御性组织，而且就其与环境的和谐关系而言，它们是人类住区的杰出典范。”)”结合文章主要介绍了中国的土楼建筑，介绍了其建造特点、功能等。可知，D选项“土楼：中国特色的居住与防御相结合的建筑”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Modern medicine and the latest technology can save many lives. If you live in a country where healthcare is readily available and accessible, then your chances of recovering from illnesses or accidents are very good. But for many people in the US who are uninsured (无保险的), they can’t afford these new medical treatments. That’s why Doctor Demetrio Aguila in Norfolk lets poor patients pay for surgery (外科手术) through volunteer work. “For years I had been doing surgery for patients and taking care of their health problems. Then I would find out months later, sometimes years later, that I had caused their financial ruin,” Aguila said. Serious illnesses can completely deplete a family’s savings, leaving them no choice but to go bankrupt (破产). Then he formed Healing Hands M25 as a way to give poor patients the medical fees they need by donating their time to community service. The process is pretty simple. They practice partners with local charitable organizations. The patient picks the charity and donates his time and sweat; Aguila determines the amount of volunteer hours the patient has to complete. “We’ve lowered the cost of healthcare. We’ve made it fair for everybody involved,” Aguila said. The first patient to participate in the program was Jeffrey Jenson who worked for 560 hours to pay for surgery on his leg. Jenson asked his friends and family to help him complete the hours. Jenson said that his volunteer work greatly affected his life as much as the surgery. “The M25 program is not about money — it’s about if people come together to help other people, then the community becomes better,” said Jenson. This program is a big win for the patients, the local community, and Dr Aguila who knows he has done everything he could to help his patients. 32. How does Aguila make poor patients pay for surgery? A. In cash. B. Through an insurance company. C. By doing volunteer work. D. By serving the doctor. 33. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Set aside. B. Use up. C. Cut down. D. Add to. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What Healing Hands M25 does. B. How Healing Hands M25 works. C. Why Aguila runs Healing Hands M25. D. Why patients choose Healing Hands M25. 35. What is Jenson’s attitude towards the M25 program? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文介绍了诺福克的Demetrio Aguila医生让贫困患者通过志愿工作支付手术费用，这个项目被称为“治愈之手M25”。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“But for many people in the US who are uninsured (无保险的), they can’t afford these new medical treatments. That’s why Doctor Demetrio Aguila in Norfolk lets poor patients pay for surgery (外科手术) through volunteer work.(但对于许多没有医疗保险的美国人来说，他们负担不起这些新的医疗手段。这就是为什么诺福克的Demetrio Aguila医生让贫穷的病人通过志愿者工作来支付手术费用)”可知，Aguila让贫穷的病人做志愿者工作来支付手术费用。故选C项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文““For years I had been doing surgery for patients and taking care of their health problems. Then I would find out months later, sometimes years later, that I had caused their financial ruin,” Aguila said.(“多年来，我一直在为病人做手术，照顾他们的健康问题。几个月后，有时是几年后，我才发现是我让他们破产的。”Aguila说)”可知，接下来应是解释，Aguila具体发现了什么让他们破产，所以推知deplete a family’s savings应是“耗尽一个家庭的积蓄”之意，deplete应是“耗尽”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Then he formed Healing Hands M25 as a way to give poor patients the medical fees they need by donating their time to community service. The process is pretty simple. They practice partners with local charitable organizations. The patient picks the charity and donates his time and sweat; Aguila determines the amount of volunteer hours the patient has to complete. “We’ve lowered the cost of healthcare. We’ve made it fair for everybody involved,” Aguila said.(然后，他成立了“治愈之手M25”，通过奉献时间为社区服务，为贫困患者提供所需的医疗费用。这个过程非常简单。他们与当地的慈善组织合作。病人选择慈善事业，奉献自己的时间和汗水；Aguila决定了病人必须完成的志愿工作时间。“我们降低了医疗成本。我们让每个人都参与其中，”Aguila说)”可知，本段主要讲述了疗愈之手M25的工作原理。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Jenson said that his volunteer work greatly affected his life as much as the surgery. “The M25 program is not about money — it’s about if people come together to help other people, then the community becomes better,” said Jenson.(Jenson说，他的志愿者工作对他的生活的影响和手术一样大。Jenson说：“M25计划的重点不是钱，而是如果人们团结起来帮助别人，那么社区就会变得更好。”)”可知，Jenson认为M25计划会让社区变得更好，所以他觉得是积极的。故选A项。 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) The night the Titanic sank From a high place on the ship, Fred Fleet, who worked on the Titanic, saw the iceberg just a few hundred metres a way. He rang the bell to warn the people to stop the ship. ____36____ Soon after that, one passenger, Major Peuchen, noticed that the ship wasn't straight in the water. But nobody listened to him. ____37____ Another ship, the Californian, was about 30 kilometres north of the Titanic. When the Californian saw the iceberg, it stopped. It also sent a radio message to warn other ships in the area. At about 11:15 pm, the Californian's radio operator turned off the radio, and went to bed. The Titanic sent a message back, giving its position—wrongly! ____38____ Soon after midnight, the crew of the Californian saw rockets going up into the sky from the Titanic. Their captain said, “Fireworks! ____39____ ”The radio wasn't turned on again, and the Californian didn't move. At 12:25 am on the Titanic, people began to get into the lifeboats. At 2:20 am on April 15th the Titanic finally sank. Another ship, the Carpathia, heard the Titanic's last call for help. ____40____ At 4: 10 am, the Carpathia saw the Titanic's lifeboats floating on the dark water, and rescued the survivors. Later, the Californian turned the radio back on, and heard that the Titanic had sunk. A. The accident happened at about 11:40 pm. B. Everyone was very proud of the Titanic. C. The passengers of the Titanic are having a party. D. It was 58 miles away, but it raced to help the ship. E. But it was travelling too fast to stop, and it hit the iceberg. F. Before the accident, the Titanic had received an ice warning. G. A lot of people stayed on the ship instead of trying to escape. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. A 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了“泰坦尼克”号沉没之夜发生的故事。 【36题详解】 由上文的“…saw the iceberg just a few hundred metres away(看到了几百米开外的冰山。他摇铃警告人们把船停下来)”可知，冰川已被发现，想停住船，和下文的“the ship wasn't straight in the water.(这艘船在水中不是笔直的)” 可知，船已失去平衡，以及后面全文，应该是撞上了，E项表示 “泰坦尼克”号还是因速度过快停不下来，撞上了冰山，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 由下文的“It also sent a radio message to warn other ships in the area.( 它还发出无线电信号警告该地区的其他船只)”可知，“泰坦尼克”号在撞击冰山前收到过警告。故选F项。 【38题详解】 由上文中出现“At about 11:15 pm, the Californian's radio operator turned off the radio, and went to bed.( 大约在晚上11点15分，加州的无线电报务员关掉了收音机，上床睡觉了)可知，11:15分，加州号轮船给“泰坦尼克”号发送警告，前方有冰山，下一段讲述十二点以后的情况，可知该空应该是交代，泰坦尼克号于当晚约11点40分撞上了冰山。故选A项。 【39题详解】 由下文的“The radio wasn't turned on again, and the Californian didn't move(电台没有再打开，那个加州号轮船也没有行动)”可知，“加利福尼亚”号没有去营救，因为该船船长看到“泰坦尼克”号上燃放的烟火，以为他们正在举办派对。故选C项。 【40题详解】 由下文的“the Carpathia saw the Titanic's lifeboats...and rescued the survivors(“卡帕西亚号”看到泰坦尼克号的救生艇漂浮在黑暗的水面上，并救出了幸存者)”可知， the Carpathia去救援了，与D项中的“it raced to help the ship(它急忙去救援)”呼应。故选D项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had a bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book.

It was the first serious fight in 10 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long cooperation fell apart. 11 began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. Very early one morning there was a knock on the older brother's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. " I'm looking for a few days' work“ he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?" "Well as it happens there is." said the older brother. “1 do have a job for you. Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour. In fact, it's my younger brother. Once there was a meadow（草地）between us and last week he took his bulldozer（推土机）and plowed a stream between us. Well, he may have done this to hurt me, but I'll go one better than that. See that pile of wood by the barn? I want you to build me a fence. a 2-metre-high fence, so I won't need to see him or his place anymore. " The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 3.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The older brother helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbour, his younger brother, was coming across the bridge merrily with his hand outstretching to the older brother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The older brother helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring，sawing，digging and nailing. About sunset when the older brother returned，the carpenter had just finished his job. The older brother's eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all；instead there was a bridge…a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other. The neighbour，his younger brother，was coming across the bridge merrily with his hand outstretching to the older brother. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done," he said. The two brothers then met in the middle of the bridge，taking each other's hand and embraced. Their conflict was finally at an end. They then turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder. "No，wait. Please stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, “but，I have many more bridges to build.” 【解析】 【分析】 本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一对和睦相处的兄弟之间爆发了矛盾，当推土机铲平草地，开辟出一条小溪，两人的矛盾似乎已无可挽回。此时，一个木匠出现了，他在小溪上架起了一座桥，使兄弟两人重归于好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“哥哥帮木匠把材料准备好，然后他就上路了。”可知，第一段可描写哥哥走后，木匠是怎么工作的。 ②由第二段首句内容“这时，他的邻居，也就是他的弟弟，正高兴地过桥来，伸出手给哥哥。”可知，第二段可描写哥哥和弟弟在木匠的帮助下重归于好。 2.续写线索： 哥哥离开家----木匠修桥——哥哥很惊讶——哥哥弟弟重归于好——感谢木匠 3.词汇激活 行为类①拥抱：embrace/hug/hold in one's arms: ②.回家： return/go back情绪类冲突：conflict/quarrel 【点睛】[高分句型1].

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 24.

C In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said. The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo. Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defending. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical, and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict. Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO. 28. What do we know about tulou? A. Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status. B. Among 23000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally. C. They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function. D. Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement. 29. What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict? A. Escape tunnels. B. Enough food. C. Small windows. D. Defensive weapons. 30. What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou? A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned. 31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments B. Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings C. Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008 D. Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending D Modern medicine and the latest technology can save many lives. If you live in a country where healthcare is readily available and accessible, then your chances of recovering from illnesses or accidents are very good. But for many people in the US who are uninsured (无保险的), they can’t afford these new medical treatments. That’s why Doctor Demetrio Aguila in Norfolk lets poor patients pay for surgery (外科手术) through volunteer work. “For years I had been doing surgery for patients and taking care of their health problems. Then I would find out months later, sometimes years later, that I had caused their financial ruin,” Aguila said. Serious illnesses can completely deplete a family’s savings, leaving them no choice but to go bankrupt (破产). Then he formed Healing Hands M25 as a way to give poor patients the medical fees they need by donating their time to community service. The process is pretty simple. They practice partners with local charitable organizations. The patient picks the charity and donates his time and sweat; Aguila determines the amount of volunteer hours the patient has to complete. “We’ve lowered the cost of healthcare. We’ve made it fair for everybody involved,” Aguila said. The first patient to participate in the program was Jeffrey Jenson who worked for 560 hours to pay for surgery on his leg. Jenson asked his friends and family to help him complete the hours. Jenson said that his volunteer work greatly affected his life as much as the surgery. “The M25 program is not about money — it’s about if people come together to help other people, then the community becomes better,” said Jenson. This program is a big win for the patients, the local community, and Dr Aguila who knows he has done everything he could to help his patients. 32. How does Aguila make poor patients pay for surgery? A. In cash. B. Through an insurance company. C. By doing volunteer work. D. By serving the doctor. 33. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Set aside. B. Use up. C. Cut down. D. Add to. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. What Healing Hands M25 does. B. How Healing Hands M25 works. C. Why Aguila runs Healing Hands M25. D. Why patients choose Healing Hands M25. 35. What is Jenson’s attitude towards the M25 program? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) The night the Titanic sank From a high place on the ship, Fred Fleet, who worked on the Titanic, saw the iceberg just a few hundred metres a way.
