Many Zoos provide the opportunity for people to learn about the global environment and work to help protect critical species for generations to come. San Diego Zoo-San Diego, California The San Diego Zoo has long been considered one of the best zoos in the world. The zoo, which opened its doors in 1916, covers across 100 acres and is home to more than 12,000 rare and endangered animals. Guests can take part in a number of educational programs. Chester Zoo-England, U. K. The Chester Zoo is yet another large space with a rich conservation program (and it happens to be the most-visited zoo in the U. K.). The zoo is home to more than 20,000 animals and works to educate every guest on not only their conservation programs but how individuals can take action. Alaska Zoo-Anchorage, Alaska The Alaska Zoo is one of the smaller ones to make this global list, but for a good reason. The Alaska Zoo specializes in local animals, including brown bears, bald eagles, moose, hawks, harbor seals, and more. It is a registered nonprofit (非营利组织) devoted to promoting the conservation of Arctic and sub-Arctic species. Tiergarten Schönbrunn-Vienna, Austria The Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Vienna has the distinct honor of being the world’s oldest zoo. It also happens to be one of the best zoos in the world thanks to its various rare animal exhibits, along with its captive breeding program that’s helping to save dozens of at-risk species, and its rich species protection program in the wild. 21. What do San Diego Zoo and Chester Zoo have in common? A. They are both free for tourists. B. They are both located in Europe. C. They both donate a part of tickets. D. They both offer educational events. 22. What is special about Alaska Zoo? A. It is the largest conservation space. B. It is the smallest zoo all over the world. C. It is one of the most-visited zoos in the U. S. D. It is aimed at protecting some specific animals. 23. Where should you go if you want to visit a zoo with a long history? A. England, U. K. B. Anchorage, Alaska. C. Vienna, Austria. D. San Diego, California. B I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed?” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 24. What made Kate so angry one evening? A. She couldn’t find her books. B. She heard the author shouting loud. C. She got the news that her grandma was ill. D. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed. 25. The author tidied up the room most probably because ________. A. she was scared by Kate’s anger B. she hated herself for being so messy C. she wanted to show her care D. she was asked by Kate to do so 26. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed? A. By analyzing causes. B. By showing differences. C. By describing a process. D. By following time order. 27 What might be the best title for the story? A. My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays Off C. How to Be Organized D. Learning to Be Roommates C Do you use the weekends to catch up on sleep? If so, you may want to rethink that. Since the 1990s, scientists have understood that lacking sleep can harm people’s health. The changes it causes can lead to obesity and diabetes. Yet in a recent survey, a little more than one in every three U. S. adults reported sleeping fewer than the recommended seven hours a night. Weekends may seem like a great time to catch up on sleep. Scientists, however, weren’t sure that would work. So Christopher Diner, a sleep physiologist at the University of Colorado and his colleagues decided to test it out. The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, each group followed a set sleep schedule. One group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shuteye a night. The third group slept some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend. The groups with less sleep snacked more at night, gained more weight, and saw their insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity drop compared to the group getting nine hours a night, said the study. The group that received two days to catch up on sleep saw some small improvements that were lost once they returned to a shorter sleep schedule. People in the study who got too little sleep every night gained weight. So did the weekend sleep-in crowd. “In the end, we didn’t see any benefit in any metabolic (新陈代谢的) outcome in the people who got to sleep in on the weekend,” Chris Depner, an assistant research professor of the study said in a statement. In some cases, insulin sensitivity among members of the group with the weekend to catch up declined more than those who consistently slept five hours a night, said the study. 28. Why did Diner and his team conduct the study? A To assist doctors’ work. B. To finish an assignment. C. To prove their assumption. D. To remove their doubt. 29 How did the researchers carry out the test? A. By using a questionnaire. B. By comparing three sleep patterns. C. By tracking one group for two weeks. D. By making cause-and-effect analyses. 30. What do we know about catching up on sleep according to the study? A. It requires further study. B. It makes no difference to health. C. It may lead to a regular sleep pattern. D. It may bring more harm than benefits. 31. What may the following paragraph probably focus on? A. Ways of catching up on sleep. B. Benefits of exercise for sleep. C. Suggestions on healthy sleep. D. Disorders from lacking sleep. D People’s first memories are all autobiographical (自传式的) , or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives ---- a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia (婴儿期失忆症) . However, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can demonstrate (证明) that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often. But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses. One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick. Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face — they start to form some sense of self. Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form narratives (叙述) about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period. Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia. 32. What can infants do in their first few months? A. Memorize most of their family members. B. Identify their own reflections in the mirror. C. Remember a string of events from the recent past. D. Distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces. 33. According to the rouge test, what do infants tend to do after 18 months? A. See their reflections as themselves. B. Ignore the marks on their faces. C. Enjoy playing with their reflections. D. Show a strong interest in the mirror. 34. Which of the following could be a cause of infantile amnesia, according to the text? A. Infants have a strong sense of self. B. Infants lack communication skills. C. The hippocampus isn’t fully developed in the infancy period. D. Infants haven’t experienced significant things. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why is it hard to retrieve lost memories? B. Why can’t we remember being a baby? C. How do kids form their first memories? D. When do babies start remembering things? 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Swap, Don’t shop! You keep hearing about reducing reusing, and recycling, right?

C 【解析】 【原文】“The average person spends between eight and ten hours on average in bed every night, so it’s important to spend some time getting your bedroom environment right!” Hayley Worley, founder of Sheet Society, knows a thing or two about getting a good night’s sleep. And she believes that your bedroom plays a huge role in the length and quality of your sleep. So what can boost our beauty sleep in the bedroom? First, with the right styling, blankets can bring warmth and softness to your bedroom. Position a small blanket at the foot of your bed to create visual balance and a sense of cosiness around the space where you rest and sleep. Second, for a deep sleep, we’re turning to soft and silky bamboo bedding. Third, add a new step to your “wind down” routine with a hot cup of herbal tea. Fourth, color plays an important part in calming you down, so pick a color or combination that suits your personal style. Last but not least, the right lighting is the key to relaxation. In the evenings, it helps to switch off any main lights and use softer, warm lighting to light your home. Style your bedside with a low-lit table lamp, as darker light is proven to be helpful for sleep. 第二部分 阅读理解 (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 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳的选项。 A The Best Zoos in the World Catching sight of your favorite animals up close can be an exciting experience. Many Zoos provide the opportunity for people to learn about the global environment and work to help protect critical species for generations to come. San Diego Zoo-San Diego, California The San Diego Zoo has long been considered one of the best zoos in the world. The zoo, which opened its doors in 1916, covers across 100 acres and is home to more than 12,000 rare and endangered animals. Guests can take part in a number of educational programs. Chester Zoo-England, U. K. The Chester Zoo is yet another large space with a rich conservation program (and it happens to be the most-visited zoo in the U. K.). The zoo is home to more than 20,000 animals and works to educate every guest on not only their conservation programs but how individuals can take action. Alaska Zoo-Anchorage, Alaska The Alaska Zoo is one of the smaller ones to make this global list, but for a good reason. The Alaska Zoo specializes in local animals, including brown bears, bald eagles, moose, hawks, harbor seals, and more. It is a registered nonprofit (非营利组织) devoted to promoting the conservation of Arctic and sub-Arctic species. Tiergarten Schönbrunn-Vienna, Austria The Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Vienna has the distinct honor of being the world’s oldest zoo. It also happens to be one of the best zoos in the world thanks to its various rare animal exhibits, along with its captive breeding program that’s helping to save dozens of at-risk species, and its rich species protection program in the wild. 21.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed?” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 24. What made Kate so angry one evening? A. She couldn’t find her books. B. She heard the author shouting loud. C. She got the news that her grandma was ill. D. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed. 25. The author tidied up the room most probably because ________.

By analyzing causes. B. By showing differences. C. By describing a process. D. By following time order. 27. What might be the best title for the story? A. My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays Off C. How to Be Organized D. Learning to Be Roommates 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和室友凯特相处的一些事情。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed?”(很快，我听到她尖叫道：“把你的鞋子拿走！为什么在我床底下？”)”可知，那天晚上，凯特非常生气的原因是她看到作者的鞋子在她床下。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.(突然，一种温暖的同情之情在我心中升起)”可以推断出， 作者主要是想通过收拾房间这种行为表达对凯特的关心。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.(我从来都不太整洁，而我的室友凯特却非常有条理。她的每件东西都有自己的位置，但我的东西总是藏在某个地方。她甚至把每样东西都贴上标签。我总是寻找一切。随着时间的推移，凯特变得更整洁，而我变得更凌乱。她把我的脏衣服推开，我把书放在她整洁的桌子上。我们都厌倦了对方)”可知，该段主要通过对比的方式说明两个人在生活习惯方面的巨大差异。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后一句“We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.(我们并不总是意见一致，但我们学会了共同生活的关键：让步、清理和坚持)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者和室友凯特相处的一些事情。故D选项“学会成为室友”最符合文章标题。故选D。 C Do you use the weekends to catch up on sleep? If so, you may want to rethink that. Since the 1990s, scientists have understood that lacking sleep can harm people’s health. The changes it causes can lead to obesity and diabetes. Yet in a recent survey, a little more than one in every three U. S. adults reported sleeping fewer than the recommended seven hours a night. Weekends may seem like a great time to catch up on sleep. Scientists, however, weren’t sure that would work. So Christopher Diner, a sleep physiologist at the University of Colorado and his colleagues decided to test it out. The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, each group followed a set sleep schedule. One group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shuteye a night. The third group slept some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend. The groups with less sleep snacked more at night, gained more weight, and saw their insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity drop compared to the group getting nine hours a night, said the study. The group that received two days to catch up on sleep saw some small improvements that were lost once they returned to a shorter sleep schedule. People in the study who got too little sleep every night gained weight. So did the weekend sleep-in crowd. “In the end, we didn’t see any benefit in any metabolic (新陈代谢的) outcome in the people who got to sleep in on the weekend,” Chris Depner, an assistant research professor of the study said in a statement. In some cases, insulin sensitivity among members of the group with the weekend to catch up declined more than those who consistently slept five hours a night, said the study. 28. Why did Diner and his team conduct the study? A. To assist doctors’ work. B. To finish an assignment. C. To prove their assumption. D. To remove their doubt. 29. How did the researchers carry out the test? A. By using a questionnaire. B. By comparing three sleep patterns. C. By tracking one group for two weeks. D. By making cause-and-effect analyses. 30. What do we know about catching up on sleep according to the study? A. It requires further study. B. It makes no difference to health. C. It may lead to a regular sleep pattern. D. It may bring more harm than benefits. 31. What may the following paragraph probably focus on? A. Ways of catching up on sleep. B. Benefits of exercise for sleep. C. Suggestions on healthy sleep. D. Disorders from lacking sleep. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于周末补觉对健康影响的研究。研究表明，周末补觉并不能抵消工作日睡眠不足带来的负面影响，甚至可能带来更多的健康问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists, however, weren't sure that would work. So Christopher Diner, a sleep physiologist at the University of Colorado and his colleagues decided to test it out.(然而，科学家们不确定这是否可行。所以科罗拉多大学的睡眠生理学家克里斯托弗·迪纳和他的同事们决定进行测试)”可知，迪纳和他的团队进行这项研究是为了消除他们的疑虑。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, each group followed a set sleep schedule. One group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shuteye a night. The third group slept some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend.(研究小组观察了三组25岁左右的人。大约两周的时间里，每组都遵循固定的睡眠时间表。一组每晚睡大约8个小时。另一组每晚只睡大约5个小时。第三组工作日每晚睡5个小时左右，但周末可以想睡多久就睡多久)”可知，研究人员通过比较三种睡眠模式来进行测试。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, we didn’t see any benefit in any metabolic (新陈代谢的) outcome in the people who got to sleep in on the weekend(最后，我们没有看到周末补觉的人在新陈代谢方面有任何好处)”以及“In some cases, insulin sensitivity among members of the group with the weekend to catch up declined more than those who consistently slept five hours a night(在某些情况下，周末补觉组的胰岛素敏感性下降幅度比那些一直每晚睡5个小时的人还要大)”可知，根据这项研究，补觉可能带来的危害大于好处。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, we didn’t see any benefit in any metabolic (新陈代谢的) outcome in the people who got to sleep in on the weekend(最后，我们没有看到周末补觉的人在新陈代谢方面有任何好处)”以及“In some cases, insulin sensitivity among members of the group with the weekend to catch up declined more than those who consistently slept five hours a night(在某些情况下，周末补觉组的胰岛素敏感性下降幅度比那些一直每晚睡5个小时的人还要大)”可知，根据这项研究，补觉对健康没有好处，那么接下来可能会给出关于健康睡眠的建议。故选C项。 D People’s first memories are all autobiographical (自传式的) , or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives ---- a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia (婴儿期失忆症) . However, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can demonstrate (证明) that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often. But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses. One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick. Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face — they start to form some sense of self. Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form narratives (叙述) about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period. Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia. 32. What can infants do in their first few months? A. Memorize most of their family members. B. Identify their own reflections in the mirror. C. Remember a string of events from the recent past. D. Distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces. 33. According to the rouge test, what do infants tend to do after 18 months? A. See their reflections as themselves. B. Ignore the marks on their faces. C. Enjoy playing with their reflections. D. Show a strong interest in the mirror. 34. Which of the following could be a cause of infantile amnesia, according to the text? A Infants have a strong sense of self. B. Infants lack communication skills. C. The hippocampus isn’t fully developed in the infancy period. D. Infants haven’t experienced significant things. 35 Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why is it hard to retrieve lost memories? B. Why can’t we remember being a baby? C. How do kids form their first memories? D. When do babies start remembering things? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了婴儿期的遗忘现象，即婴儿时期的记忆称为“婴儿遗忘症”，并列举了几种可能的解释，包括自我意识的发展、语言的缺乏以及海马体的未完全发育等。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger.(在出生后的最初几天里，婴儿能够回忆起自己母亲的面孔，并将其与陌生人的面孔区分开来)”可知，在婴儿刚出生的几个月里，可以区分熟悉和不熟悉的面孔。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face — they start to form some sense of self.(在18到24个月之间，婴儿摸自己的鼻子，甚至看起来很尴尬，这表明他们把镜子里的红点和自己的脸联系起来——他们开始形成一些自我意识)”可知，18个月后，婴儿视他们的倒影为他们自己，开始形成自我意识。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period. Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia.(最后，海马体是大脑中主要负责记忆的区域，在婴儿期还没有完全发育。科学家将继续研究这些因素是如何导致婴儿健忘症的)”可知，导致婴儿期失忆症的原因可能是海马体在婴儿期还没有完全发育。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.(但如果是这样，为什么人们会经历婴儿健忘症呢？虽然还不清楚这是否是因为我们无法形成自传式记忆，还是因为我们没有办法找回它们，但科学家们有一些猜测)”及最后一段“Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia.(科学家将继续研究这些因素是如何导致婴儿健忘症的)”可知，本文介绍了人们会经历婴儿失忆症的这种现象和原因，B选项“为什么我们不记得婴儿的时候发生的事情？”符合本文主旨，为最佳标题。故选B。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Swap, Don’t shop! You keep hearing about reducing, reusing, and recycling, right? But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothes are also an issue we should face. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor?____36____ It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, get clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time. A successful swap depends on the selection(选择)of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers. ·Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. ____37____, and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable. ·____38____. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home. ·Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.____39____. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on before they take them — things always look different when you put them on. ·Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. Just keep music playing throughout.____40____. Remember, it’s a party! A. Hold a clothing swap(交换) B. Less people than that C. If two people are competing D. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots E. Donate whatever clothes are left over F. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition G. And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. F 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过衣物交换来处理旧衣服的方法——衣物交换派对，以及一些具体的流程。 【36题详解】 根据上文“So what to do with all those perfectly- good-but-you’re- maybe-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor?(那么，该如何处理那些堆在卧室地板上的(看起来)完好但你可能有点厌倦的衣服呢？)”提出关于如何解决旧衣物的问题。下文“It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.(这是扔掉旧衣服、从朋友那里买衣服、同时开派对的最好方法。)”提到了具体处理旧衣物的方法。所以空白处应起承上启下的作用，承接上文讲到的问题，启下提出的方法。因而空白处是提出了一种处理旧衣物的好方法。A项“Hold a clothing swap.(进行衣物交换。)”给出了一种处理旧衣物的方法，承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.”(邀请5到10个人，这样你就有一个很好的选择。)说明了应该邀请的人数。下文“and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.”(可能没有足够的东西可供选择;多于这个数量，它就变得无法控制。)说明多于或少于一定数量的人数将会导致一些麻烦。所以空白处应是针对下文中的“more than that”提出的相反的假设，即少于一定数量的人。B项“Less people than that”(少于这些人)提出一种假设，和下文中“more than that”相对，说明人数不宜太多，也不能太少，符合语境。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new” clothes home.”(他们还应该准备大量的可重复使用的袋子，把他们的“新”衣服带回家。)说明去的时候应该为交换所得的“新衣服”准备袋子。F项“Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition.”(告诉每个人带来品相完好的衣服。)说明去参加衣物交换的时候应该带完好的衣服，其中的bring和下文中carry相对，都是为交换衣物所做的准备。下文中的also也是提示词，并且其中They指代F项的everyone。所以F项符合语境。故选F项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.”(把不同类型的衣服放在房间的不同地方。)指出衣服应该归类放置。下文 “Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on.”(在房间周围放几面镜子，这样人们试穿时就能看到衣服的样子。)提到了放置镜子的意义。由此可见，本段讲述的是房间里的一些具体的做法，所以空白处一样要提出人们在房间里要做什么。D项“Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots.(让每个人的衣服都放在相应的位置上。)”说明每个人应该按照不同类型把衣服摆放在相应的位置，符合语境。故选D项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.”(设置开始时间。也许你说“开始”，或者打开一首歌，或者无论什么。)打开音乐或者无论什么，意味聚会开始。上文“Just keep music playing throughout.”(让音乐一直放着)和下文“Remember, it’s a party!”(记住，这是个派对！)讲到了聚会上应该提供一些派对该有的服务。因而，空白处应是连接上下文，讲述聚会时应有的吃喝等内容，G项“And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits.”(别忘了拿出一些饼干和水果)符合题意，故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It is the morning of my 58th birthday as I write this.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】contribution 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：她自愿向慈善机构捐款，帮助那些需要帮助的人。此处作宾语，应用contribute的名词contribution，意为“捐款”，不定冠词提示用单数。故填contribution。 67. After a sound sleep, the weak man became _________ (energy) again. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】energetic 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：酣睡之后，这个虚弱的男人又变得精力充沛了。本空作表语，应使用形容词energetic “精力充沛的，充满活力的”，符合语境。故填energetic。 68.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】convenience 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：如果你能在你最方便的时候给我回电话，我将不胜感激。本空作介词at的宾语，应填名词形式convenience“方便”，at one’s convenience为固定短语，意为“在某人方便的时候”。故填convenience。 69. A ________ (complain) is a statement in which you express your dissatisfaction with a particular situation. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】complaint 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：“抱怨”是一种表达你对特定情况不满的陈述。提示词作主语，用名词complaint，有不定冠词A修饰，用名词单数形式。故填complaint。 70.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】bitten 【解析】 【详解】考查with的复合结构。句意：根据国家卫生健康委发布的数据，到2021年底，中国拥有世界上最多的狗，每年有超过1200万人被咬伤。设空处构成with的复合结构，with的宾语“over 12 million people”和动词bite之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补，故填bitten。 71.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】were 【解析】 【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：唱了几首歌后，参赛者们在绿地上翩翩起舞，像鹰一样在空中挥舞着手臂。在这个句子中，as if从句表示他们的舞蹈动作让人联想到他们是鹰，但这种情况与现在的事实不符，应用虚拟语气，be动词要用were，就算主语是单数，也用were。故填were。 72. In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese women ever ________ (appoint) as director of OB-GYN and department of the PUMC Hospital. (所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】to be appointed 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：1941年，林医生成为第一位被任命为北京协和医院妇产科主任的中国女性。非谓语动词作后置定语时，如前面的名词有the first修饰时，惯常用动词不定式。又由于appoint与其逻辑主语women构成被动逻辑关系，故应用不定式的被动式。故填to be appointed。 73. They make great gifts and you see them many times ________ (decorate) with red envelopes and messages of good fortune. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】decorated 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：它们是很好的礼物，你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和好运的信息。句中them指代前句中的orange trees，与decorate之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填decorated。 74.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】balancing 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语。句意：过了一会儿，一群女人走了过来，每个人都在头上平衡着一壶水。分析句子可知，此空考查非谓语，且each和balance为主动关系，再根据句意可知，此空应填现在分词构成独立主格结构。故填balancing。 75.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】that 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：很可能至少在15000年前，美洲原住民移居到了加利福尼亚。此处是固定句型“It is likely that…”，其中it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。故填that。 76. As we know, recent years _________ (witness) great changes taking place in China, particularly in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】have witnessed 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：正如我们所知，近年来中国发生了巨大的变化，尤其是在北京、天津和上海。根据时间状语in recent years可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响，谓语动词使用现在完成时。主语recent years是复数，所以用have witnessed，表示从过去到现在的一段时间里已经发生的动作或存在的状态。故填have witnessed。 77. In 1844 they bought it for $1,200 and some land from Charles Dresser, who performed their ________（marry）ceremony in 1842. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】marriage 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：1844年，他们花了1200美元，从查尔斯·德莱瑟那里买了一些土地，德莱瑟在1842年举行了他们的婚礼。结合设空前their及句意可知，此处要用名词marriage作ceremony的定语，表示“结婚仪式，结婚典礼”。故填marriage。 78.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】definitely 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：如果你的孩子喜欢呆在厨房里，那么烹饪营绝对是合适的选择。空格处应该用副词作状语，修饰动词is，definite的副词为definitely“确实，的确”符合句意。故填definitely。 80.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】tendency 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：作为一名高三学生，随着时间的推移，你有焦虑的倾向是很正常的。动词tend的名词形式为tendency，表示“倾向”，have a tendency to do sth.
