When he was twelve years old, he went to Paris with an uncle. There, he finished his studies in marketing. After working as a casting director for nine years, Delilah got a job at Rue Dieulafoy. It is a popular place in Paris and many Parisian fashion designers like to go there. While working there and watching the customers, Delilah came up with the idea of making clothes for the European market. He wanted to give new life to the clothes that were sold in Africa. This idea started to become real. The England designer opened his first showroom. There, he began to sell his own brand of products. If you look carefully at the clothes in his showroom, you can see how special his design process is. He takes the clothes that come to Africa from Europe and the US through charities. Then he gives them a new look and sells them in France. Every year, a large amount of clothes are sent from Europe and the US to Africa. Just Italy sends more than 150 tonnes. The second-hand clothing market in Africa started because people wanted to help poorer countries. But it has two problems. First, many clothes can’t be used again. These clothes that no one buys make more waste. Second, since the late 1980s, too many second-hand clothes have come into the African market. This has made the African cloth industry face a big crisis and it is still having a hard time getting better. Delilah goes to Africa several times a year to buy second-hand clothes. In fact, 95 percent of the clothes he makes come from the markets in London. “We don’t want to teach people with fashion. Instead, we want to show them what they can do with what they have. Give me the clothes and I’ll show you how to wear them without having to buy new ones,” he said. The African designer’s words, which he said in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC, can show his idea. 4. What do you learn about Delilah from paragraph 1? A. He helped his uncle at Rue Dieulafoy. B. He worked at a nice place in Paris. C. He studied marketing for nine years. D. He became a casting director in London. 5. What is the idea behind Delilah’s clothing brand? A The use of different clothes. B. The jobs of fashion designers. C. The importance of recycling. D. The value of good quality. 6. What can you infer about the second-hand clothes in Africa? A. They are a good way to help poorer countries. B. They have made the African industry grow fast. C. They have made clothes environmentally friendly. D. They have done no good to the African economy. 7. What is the main aim of this text? A. To tell the story of an excellent designer. B. To encourage more designers to be creative. C. To analyze the result of second-hand clothes. D. To help a designer’s fashion business grow. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了设计师Delilah通过循环利用服饰来给在非洲销售的衣服赋予新的生命。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“After working as a casting director for nine years, Delilah got a job at Rue Dieulafoy. It is a popular place in Paris and many Parisian fashion designers like to go there.(在做了九年的选角导演后，Delilah在迪尤拉弗伊街找到了一份工作。这是巴黎一个很受欢迎的地方，许多巴黎的时装设计师都喜欢去那里)”可知，Delilah在巴黎的一个好地方工作。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If you look carefully at the clothes in his showroom, you can see how special his design process is. He takes the clothes that come to Africa from Europe and the US through charities. Then he gives them a new look and sells them in France.(如果你仔细观察他陈列室里的衣服，你就会发现他的设计过程是多么的特别。他把通过慈善机构从欧洲和美国运到非洲的衣服拿过来。然后，他给他们一个新的外观，并在法国出售)”可知，Delilah的服装品牌背后的理念是循环利用的重要性。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The second-hand clothing market in Africa started because people wanted to help poorer countries. But it has two problems. First, many clothes can’t be used again. These clothes that no one buys make more waste. Second, since the late 1980s, too many second-hand clothes have come into the African market. This has made the African cloth industry face a big crisis and it is still having a hard time getting better.(二手服装市场在非洲的兴起是因为人们想要帮助贫穷的国家。但它有两个问题。首先，许多衣服不能再用。这些没人买的衣服造成了更多的浪费。第二，自20世纪80年代末以来，太多的二手衣服进入了非洲市场。这使得非洲布业面临着巨大的危机，目前仍难以好转)”可推知，非洲的二手衣服对非洲经济没有任何好处。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“While working there and watching the customers, Delilah came up with the idea of making clothes for the European market. He wanted to give new life to the clothes that were sold in Africa.(当Delilah在那里工作并观察顾客时，她萌生了为欧洲市场制作服装的想法。他想给在非洲销售的衣服赋予新的生命)”以及文章主要介绍了设计师Delilah通过循环利用服饰来给在非洲销售的衣服赋予新的生命。由此推知，这篇文章的主要目的是讲述一个优秀设计师的故事。故选A。 C During summer in the early 1980s, a strange underwater noise troubled houseboat owners in Sausalito, California. People living on houseboats had guessed that there might be army-related actions or underwater ships. But when the mystery was finally solved in 1985, the truth was perhaps even more surprising, because of the noise that is “almost deafening” and sounds like coming from machines, it’s the male toadfish (蟾鱼) that are searching for their mates. Scientists and fishermen have long known toadfish and a few other fish species to be rather talkative. But new research shows that the ability to make sound is a far more widespread feature among fish. “What our study tells is that with fish sound production being widespread, it begins to change the way we consider the sounds of the ocean,” says Aaron Rice. Rice and his coauthors found that fish’s ability to make noise had independently developed at least 33 times within the class of fish. This tells us, says Rice, how “important” sound communication might be for fish, “and that there is a very strong selection pressure to use sound.” That is, factors like the availability of food have meant that, for many species, fish that could produce sound stood a better chance of survival. The new study raises some concerning questions. If sound communication is so important for fish, then, says Rice, “the widespread range of human noise pollution in the oceans may actually have some serious consequences on them.” A 2018 review of studies into human-caused underwater noise pollution records a long list of harm done to fish species, including avoidance of important habitats, higher death rates, and poor growth rates. To take a specific example, when exposed to boat noise, toadfish struggle to communicate and find mates, limiting reproduction and potentially affecting entire populations. Currently, there is no international rule on ocean noise pollution. “The new evidence of fish sound communication being a common feature could be important for increasing rule of noise.” says Miyoko Sakashita, who works for better law-making protections for underwater life. 8. What can be learned about the sound of male toadfish? A. It changed rapidly from time to time. B. It helped fishermen learn to catch fish. C. It sounded like coming from engines. D. It caused wars among houseboat owners. 9. What did Rice and his team find from their study? A. Fish sound production is quite common. B. Toadfish have developed hundreds of times. C. Biological diversity allows fish to survive. D. Many fish species share a common language. 10 Why does the author give the example of toadfish in paragraph 4? A. To show noise pollution can do harm to sea fish species. B. To prove an increasing number of fish species are endangered. C. To stress humans are causing more underwater noise pollution. D. To explain how fish adapt themselves to polluted environments. 11. What is Sakashita’s attitude to Rice’s new research? A. Curious. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新的研究表明，发出声音的能力在鱼类中非常普遍，鱼类声音交流是一种共同特征，可能对增加噪音规则很重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But when the mystery was finally solved in 1985, the truth was perhaps even more surprising, because of the noise that is “almost deafening” and sounds like coming from machines, it’s the male toadfish (蟾鱼) that are searching for their mates.(但当这个谜团在1985年最终解开时，真相可能更令人惊讶，因为这种“几乎震耳欲聋”的声音听起来像是机器发出的，那是雄性蟾蜍鱼在寻找它们的伴侣)”可知，雄性蟾鱼的声音听起来像是发动机发出的。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Rice的话“What our study tells is that with fish sound production being widespread, it begins to change the way we consider the sounds of the ocean(我们的研究告诉我们，随着鱼类发声的广泛传播，它开始改变我们对海洋声音的看法)”可知，Rice和他的团队发现鱼类发声是非常普遍的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A 2018 review of studies into human-caused underwater noise pollution records a long list of harm done to fish species, including avoidance of important habitats, higher death rates, and poor growth rates.(2018年对人类造成的水下噪音污染研究的回顾记录了对鱼类造成的一长串伤害，包括避开重要栖息地、更高的死亡率和较低的生长率)”和“To take a specific example, when exposed to boat noise, toadfish struggle to communicate and find mates, limiting reproduction and potentially affecting entire populations.(举个具体的例子，当暴露在船的噪音中时，蟾鱼很难交流和寻找配偶，从而限制了繁殖，并可能影响整个种群)”可推知，该段以蟾鱼为例是为了展示噪音污染对海洋鱼类所造成的伤害。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Sakashita所说的话“The new evidence of fish sound communication being a common feature could be important for increasing rule of noise.(鱼类声音交流是一种共同特征的新证据可能对增加噪音规则很重要)”可知，Sakashita认为Rice的新研究证明了鱼类生意交流是一种共同特征，可能对增加噪音规则很重要，故持支持态度。故选D。 D We don’t expect everyone to sing like Adele. But we all know people who struggle to match and figure out musical pitch (音高). They’re usually named “tone-deaf”. So is tone deafness a real condition? And if so, why are some people tone-deaf? In short, yes, tone deafness is a disorder related to the nervous system, which is called amusia. However, not everyone who lacks musical skills has this condition, which affects about 4% of the population. For the majority of sufferers, it’s passed from their parents. Some people can develop amusia later in life, usually as a consequence of having serious brain damage. One of the main consequences of having amusia is that you are likely to struggle with recognizing music you have heard before, without the help of song words. But amusia differs from person to person, and so do the experiences of amusic people. The most common form of amusia is pitch-based. Many amusics lack pitch understanding, so the difference in pitch—the pitch interval (音程) — needs to be much bigger before they can feel it. Despite that, musically challenged people are able to process and recognize common environmental sounds, human voices and the musical quality of speech, possibly because speech uses larger pitch intervals to express related information. In contrast, melodies use mostly smaller ones. While some individuals with amusia are fully aware they have it, others can live for their whole lives without knowing about their condition. This is because tone deafness can show itself in different ways, and its seriousness is different from one person to another. Some people may have accidentally developed techniques to make up for their condition by relying on other signs, which can hide their inability to notice pitch accurately. Brain imaging shows that amusic brains receive and respond to pitch information, but it does not reach conscious awareness. The nerve cells in them fire in response to pitch differences that the person can’t recognize. Maybe if scientists could develop training methods that could control that unconscious response, we could find a way to solve it. 12. What do we know about amusic people? A. Most of them are born with the condition. B. Most of them hide the condition in real life. C. They may suffer brain damage in old age. D. They are people with rich musical skills. 13. What does the underlined word “ones” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Pitch intervals. B. Musical instruments. C. Human voices. D. Environmental sounds. 14 What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The influences tone deafness has on people’s daily life. B. Different signs that indicate the condition of tone deafness. C. Reasons why people are unaware of their tone deafness. D. The skills people use to make up for their tone deafness. 15. What does brain imaging show about amusic brains? A. They aren’t able to notice any pitch differences. B. They have some abnormal activities in nerve cells. C. They can’t receive or react to pitch information. D. They fail to consciously process pitch information. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了失歌症的定义、成因、表现、影响以及大脑成像研究的相关发现等内容。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For the majority of sufferers, it’s passed from their parents. (对于大多数患者来说，这是从父母那里遗传下来的)”可知，大多数失歌症患者天生就有这种情况。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Despite that, musically challenged people are able to process and recognize common environmental sounds, human voices and the musical quality of speech, possibly because speech uses larger pitch intervals to express related information. In contrast, melodies use mostly smaller ones.(尽管如此，具有音乐挑战性的人能够处理和识别常见的环境声音、人声和语音的音乐质量，可能是因为语音使用更大的音程来表达相关信息。相比之下，旋律主要使用较小的音程)”可知，ones指代前文提到的pitch intervals。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“While some individuals with amusia are fully aware they have it, others can live for their whole lives without knowing about their condition. This is because tone deafness can show itself in different ways, and its seriousness is different from one person to another. Some people may have accidentally developed techniques to make up for their condition by relying on other signs, which can hide their inability to notice pitch accurately.(虽然有些失歌症患者完全意识到自己患有失歌症，但其他人可能一生都不知道自己的病情。这是因为音盲可以以不同的方式表现出来，而且每个人的严重程度也不同。有些人可能已经意外地发展出一些技巧，通过依赖其他信号来弥补他们的状况，这些信号可以掩盖他们无法准确注意音高的缺陷)”可知，第五段主要讲了人们没有意识到自己失歌症的原因。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Brain imaging shows that amusia brains receive and respond to pitch information, but it does not reach conscious awareness.(大脑成像显示，失歌症患者的大脑接收并对音高信息做出反应，但这些信息无法到达有意识的意识)”可知，大脑成像显示失歌症患者的大脑不能有意识地处理音高信息。故选D。 第二节 七选五(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。 World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep shortage among teenagers has come into focus. ____16____ , so they feel sleepy during the day. A report issued by the Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight.

When he was twelve years old, he went to Paris with an uncle. There, he finished his studies in marketing. After working as a casting director for nine years, Delilah got a job at Rue Dieulafoy. It is a popular place in Paris and many Parisian fashion designers like to go there. While working there and watching the customers, Delilah came up with the idea of making clothes for the European market. He wanted to give new life to the clothes that were sold in Africa. This idea started to become real. The England designer opened his first showroom. There, he began to sell his own brand of products. If you look carefully at the clothes in his showroom, you can see how special his design process is. He takes the clothes that come to Africa from Europe and the US through charities. Then he gives them a new look and sells them in France. Every year, a large amount of clothes are sent from Europe and the US to Africa. Just Italy sends more than 150 tonnes. The second-hand clothing market in Africa started because people wanted to help poorer countries. But it has two problems. First, many clothes can’t be used again. These clothes that no one buys make more waste. Second, since the late 1980s, too many second-hand clothes have come into the African market. This has made the African cloth industry face a big crisis and it is still having a hard time getting better. Delilah goes to Africa several times a year to buy second-hand clothes. In fact, 95 percent of the clothes he makes come from the markets in London. “We don’t want to teach people with fashion. Instead, we want to show them what they can do with what they have. Give me the clothes and I’ll show you how to wear them without having to buy new ones,” he said. The African designer’s words, which he said in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC, can show his idea. 4. What do you learn about Delilah from paragraph 1? A. He helped his uncle at Rue Dieulafoy. B. He worked at a nice place in Paris. C. He studied marketing for nine years. D. He became a casting director in London. 5.

C During summer in the early 1980s, a strange underwater noise troubled houseboat owners in Sausalito, California. People living on houseboats had guessed that there might be army-related actions or underwater ships. But when the mystery was finally solved in 1985, the truth was perhaps even more surprising, because of the noise that is “almost deafening” and sounds like coming from machines, it’s the male toadfish (蟾鱼) that are searching for their mates. Scientists and fishermen have long known toadfish and a few other fish species to be rather talkative. But new research shows that the ability to make sound is a far more widespread feature among fish. “What our study tells is that with fish sound production being widespread, it begins to change the way we consider the sounds of the ocean,” says Aaron Rice. Rice and his coauthors found that fish’s ability to make noise had independently developed at least 33 times within the class of fish. This tells us, says Rice, how “important” sound communication might be for fish, “and that there is a very strong selection pressure to use sound.” That is, factors like the availability of food have meant that, for many species, fish that could produce sound stood a better chance of survival. The new study raises some concerning questions. If sound communication is so important for fish, then, says Rice, “the widespread range of human noise pollution in the oceans may actually have some serious consequences on them.” A 2018 review of studies into human-caused underwater noise pollution records a long list of harm done to fish species, including avoidance of important habitats, higher death rates, and poor growth rates. To take a specific example, when exposed to boat noise, toadfish struggle to communicate and find mates, limiting reproduction and potentially affecting entire populations. Currently, there is no international rule on ocean noise pollution. “The new evidence of fish sound communication being a common feature could be important for increasing rule of noise.” says Miyoko Sakashita, who works for better law-making protections for underwater life. 8. What can be learned about the sound of male toadfish? A. It changed rapidly from time to time. B. It helped fishermen learn to catch fish. C. It sounded like coming from engines. D. It caused wars among houseboat owners. 9. What did Rice and his team find from their study? A. Fish sound production is quite common. B. Toadfish have developed hundreds of times. C. Biological diversity allows fish to survive. D. Many fish species share a common language. 10. Why does the author give the example of toadfish in paragraph 4? A. To show noise pollution can do harm to sea fish species. B. To prove an increasing number of fish species are endangered. C. To stress humans are causing more underwater noise pollution. D. To explain how fish adapt themselves to polluted environments. 11. What is Sakashita’s attitude to Rice’s new research? A. Curious. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. D We don’t expect everyone to sing like Adele. But we all know people who struggle to match and figure out musical pitch (音高). They’re usually named “tone-deaf”. So is tone deafness a real condition? And if so, why are some people tone-deaf? In short, yes, tone deafness is a disorder related to the nervous system, which is called amusia. However, not everyone who lacks musical skills has this condition, which affects about 4% of the population. For the majority of sufferers, it’s passed from their parents. Some people can develop amusia later in life, usually as a consequence of having serious brain damage. One of the main consequences of having amusia is that you are likely to struggle with recognizing music you have heard before, without the help of song words. But amusia differs from person to person, and so do the experiences of amusic people. The most common form of amusia is pitch-based. Many amusics lack pitch understanding, so the difference in pitch—the pitch interval (音程) — needs to be much bigger before they can feel it. Despite that, musically challenged people are able to process and recognize common environmental sounds, human voices and the musical quality of speech, possibly because speech uses larger pitch intervals to express related information. In contrast, melodies use mostly smaller ones. While some individuals with amusia are fully aware they have it, others can live for their whole lives without knowing about their condition. This is because tone deafness can show itself in different ways, and its seriousness is different from one person to another. Some people may have accidentally developed techniques to make up for their condition by relying on other signs, which can hide their inability to notice pitch accurately. Brain imaging shows that amusic brains receive and respond to pitch information but it does not reach conscious awareness. The nerve cells in them fire in response to pitch differences that the person can’t recognize. Maybe if scientists could develop training methods that could control that unconscious response, we could find a way to solve it. 12. What do we know about amusic people? A. Most of them are born with the condition. B. Most of them hide the condition in real life. C. They may suffer brain damage in old age. D. They are people with rich musical skills. 13. What does the underlined word “ones” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Pitch intervals. B. Musical instruments. C. Human voices. D. Environmental sounds. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The influences tone deafness has on people’s daily life. B. Different signs that indicate the condition of tone deafness. C. Reasons why people are unaware of their tone deafness. D. The skills people use to make up for their tone deafness. 15. What does brain imaging show about amusic brains? A. They aren’t able to notice any pitch differences. B. They have some abnormal activities in nerve cells. C. They can’t receive or react to pitch information. D. They fail to consciously process pitch information. 第二节 七选五(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。 World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep shortage among teenagers has come into focus. ____16____ , so they feel sleepy during the day.
