He sat far behind me but I smelled it, intensely. He was so upset that my grandmother was called into school. When we got home, she warned, “Never use your sense of smell for that again.” She explained that I, like her, had hereditary hyperosmia, meaning I’m a super-smeller. My husband Les and I both pursued medical careers. One day, I was struck by the smell of a patient. I later learned that she had diabetes (糖尿病) and what I smelled was raised ketones, a chemical produced by the liver (肝). I knew doctors wouldn’t accept my diagnoses (诊断), so I stayed quiet. In 1982, before Les’s 32nd birthday, I smelt something strange on him. I thought it might be the air of the place he worked in. Twelve years later, in 1994, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It wasn’t until the last months of his life, more than 20 years later, that we discovered I could detect the disease in others, too. We felt a responsibility to do something. We attended a lecture by Prof. Kunath, a neurobiologist. I asked, “Why is the smell of Parkinson’s not being used for early diagnosis?, , He didn’t answer and we left, disappointed. But four months later, he called our home. He had found me after relaying my question to a colleague, who told him, “You must find her.” We began to work as a team to prove my theory. When Les died in 2015, he made me promise I’d carry on the research. I spent time in labs, smelling sufferers skin oil on swabs (棉签). I could detect whether the person had Parkinson’s with 95% accuracy. This year, our research team published a breakthrough: a three-minute test that can detect the disease by running a swab along someone’s neck. I’ve become known and delivered many lectures. I’m working on detecting cancers and tuberculosis. I never imagined, at 72, this would be my lift’s work. I constantly think about how I lost my Les, but also how I finally fulfilled my promise. 24. What did the author do when she smelt something strange on her husband? A. She took the smell lightly. B. She drove him to hospital. C. She warned him of a disease. D. She made him shower more. 25. Why did Prof. Kunath call the author? A. To make an apology to her. B. To invite her for a specific research. C. To discuss her husband’s disease. D. To promote her to a higher position. 26. How was a patient’s Parkinson’s detected according to Paragraph 5? A. By having a brief talk with the doctor. B. By taking a blood examination. C. By conducting a short and easy skin test. D. By rubbing a swab in the nose. 27. What does the author think of her present work? A. Painful. B. Tiring. C. Easy. D. Rewarding. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者患有遗传性嗅觉过敏症，她发现自己能闻到有病的人身上特殊的气味，和同伴就这个问题展开研究，最后发明了一种快速的疾病检测方法。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 1982, before Les’s 32nd birthday, I smelt something strange on him. I thought it might be the air of’ the place he worked in.(1982年，在莱斯32岁生日之前，我在他身上闻到了一种奇怪的味道。我想可能是因为他工作的地方的空气)”可推知，作者以为丈夫身上奇怪的味道可能是因为他工作的地方的空气，所以她对那股气味毫不在意。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段段中“But four months later, he called our home. He had found me after relaying my question to a colleague, who told him, “You must find her.” We began to work as a team to prove my theory.(但四个月后，他给我们家打了电话。他是在把我的问题转告给一位同事后找到我的，那位同事告诉他：“你必须找到她。”我们开始作为一个团队来证明我的理论)”可推知，Kunath教授给作者打电话是为了邀请她做一个具体的研究。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“This year, our research team published a breakthrough: a three-minute test that can detect the disease by running a swab along someone’s neck.(今年，我们的研究团队发表了一项突破：一种三分钟的测试，可以通过在某人的脖子上擦拭棉签来检测疾病)”可知，他们发明了一种方法，通过一个简单的皮肤测试检测出患者的帕金森症。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’ve become known and delivered many lectures. I’m working on detecting cancers and tuberculosis. I never imagined, at 72, this would be my lift’s work. I constantly think about how I lost my Les, but also how I finally fulfilled my promise.(我已为人所知，并发表了许多演讲。我正在研究癌症和肺结核。我从未想过，在72岁时，这会是我的工作。我一直在想我是如何失去我的莱斯的，但我也最终实现了我的承诺)”可推知，作者完全没想到这会是自己的工作，所以她认为现在的工作是一种奖励。故选D项。 C A novel contract proposed by a researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas and his colleagues could help ease conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants with which they partner. Food-delivery platforms collect customer orders online, send them to restaurants and deliver the orders to customers. While this service helps restaurants expand their markets, it has disadvantages. More business sounds good, but it comes at the cost of a commission (佣金) charged by the delivery platform. Besides, a large number of delivery orders might place restaurants under pressure. Delivery orders from the platforms can potentially harm the dine-in experience by slowing down the kitchen, and the expectation of a long-time waiting could stop higher-profit dine-in customers from purchasing. This motivated the researchers to identify an alternative contract to change the situation. They developed a model and found that different possible pairs of dine-in and delivery prices would produce higher or lower general income with certain prices achieving the maximum possible general income. The ideal solution trades off the increased income from delivery orders against the negative impact that those orders have on dine-in income, finding the right balance between the two. “If the same company were to control both the dine-in and delivery channels, then it would jointly determine the respective (各自的) prices to maximize the general income,” said one of the researchers. “But of course, the prices are usually set by two different companies, and each seeks to maximize its own income. The key is to design an appropriately structured contract so that when each party maximizes its individual income, the resulting prices also maximize the general income.” “Delivery platforms are widely seen as a necessity for many restaurants, despite the low profit on a delivery order. A restaurant not on a delivery platform risks losing an order to its competitors, and that loss could be a repeat customer,” said one of the researchers. “Food delivery is indeed expected to maintain a large market share. This makes it all the more urgent to improve the relationships between restaurants and platforms.” 28. What does the novel contract focus on? A. Showing restaurants how to profit from food-delivery platforms. B. Demonstrating the development potential of food-delivery platforms. C. Analyzing the conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants. D. Improving the relationship between food-delivery platforms and restaurants. 29. How might the food-delivery orders affect the restaurants they work with? A. By introducing their competitors. B. By lengthening their service hours. C. By changing their operating models. D. By driving up the price of their food. 30 Which could ease the conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants? A. Balanced dine-in and delivery services. B. Reasonable dine-in and delivery prices. C. Limiting the number of food-delivery orders. D. Reducing commissions of food-delivery platforms. 31. What can we learn from the last paragraph about food-delivery platforms? A. They are highly profitable. B. They need to be regulated. C. They have strong competitors. D. They are significant for restaurants. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的研究人员提出了一项新的合同，可以帮助缓解外卖平台和他们合作的餐馆之间的冲突。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“A novel contract proposed by a researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas and his colleagues could help ease conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants with which they partner.(德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校的一名研究人员和他的同事提出了一项新的合同，可以帮助缓解外卖平台和他们合作的餐馆之间的冲突。)”可知，新合同的关注的重点是改善外卖平台和餐厅之间的关系。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Delivery orders from the platforms can potentially harm the dine-in experience by slowing down the kitchen, and the expectation of a long-time waiting could stop higher-profit dine-in customers from purchasing. (来自这些平台的外卖订单可能会减慢厨房的速度，从而潜在地损害就餐体验，而长时间等待的预期可能会阻止利润更高的就餐客户购买。) ”可知，外卖订单会导致他们合作的餐厅延长服务时间。故选B。 30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“The key is to design an appropriately structured contract so that when each party maximizes its individual income, the resulting prices also maximize the general income. (关键是设计一个结构合理的合同，这样当各方最大化其个人收入时，所产生的价格也最大化了总体收入)”可知，合理的就餐和外卖价格能缓解外卖平台和餐厅之间的冲突。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Delivery platforms are widely seen as a necessity for many restaurants, despite the low profit on a delivery order. A restaurant not on a delivery platform risks losing an order to its competitors, and that loss could be a repeat customer. (外卖平台被广泛视为许多餐馆的必需品，尽管外卖订单的利润很低。没有外卖平台的餐厅可能会被竞争对手抢走一份订单，而失去的可能是一位回头客。)”可知，外卖平台对餐馆来说意义重大。故选D。 D Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology, it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface. The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heal and CO2 in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan (查看) the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist. By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible. “Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader. 32. What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water. 33. What is the major mission of Swot satellite? A. To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2. B. To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being. C. To identify when global warming is worsened. D. To study how oceans influence climate change. 34. What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely? A. The high-definition computer. B. Advanced radar technology. C. The three-dimensional image. D. An accurate map of elevations. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. First Global Water Survey from Space B. Successful Launch of Swot Satellite C. A Breakthrough in Space Travel D. A Solution to Climate Change 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Swot卫星将对地球表面几乎所有的水进行观测时它的主要任务和先进之处。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水)”和画线短语所在句子“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查)”可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，画线短语指的是下文提到的“water(水)”。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process that adjusts climate change.(主要任务是探索海洋如何在调节气候变化的自然过程中吸收大气热量和二氧化碳)”可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是研究海洋在气候调节过程中的作用，换句话说就是要研究海洋是如何影响气候改变的。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.(多亏了雷达仪器，Swot可以在地球的大范围内扫描云层和黑暗。这使得科学家能够精确地绘制二维地图，无论天气如何，无论何时，覆盖大面积地理区域的速度比以前快得多)”可知，先进的雷达技术使得Swot能够精确测量，故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的重要资源进行全面调查。通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水)”可知，文章主要介绍了计划于周四上午发射的Swot卫星，通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。由此可推知A项“第一次对全球的水进行调查”适合做文章标题，故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Has anyone ever told you, “Stand up straight!” or scolded you for sitting lazily at a family dinner? Comments like that might be annoying, but they’re not wrong. ____36____ It is the foundation for every movement your body makes, and can determine how well your body adapts to the stresses on it. These stresses can be things like carrying weight, or sitting in an awkward position. ____37____ If your posture isn’t good enough, your muscles have to work harder to keep you upright and balanced. Some muscles will become tight and inflexible. ____38____ It increases the likelihood of accidents, and makes some organs, like your lungs, less efficient. So what does good posture look like? If you’re sitting, your neck should be vertical, not tilted forward. Your shoulders should be relaxed with your arms close to your trunk. Your knees should be at a right angle with your feet flat on the floor. But what if your posture can’t be that great? ____39____ For example, adjust your screen so it’s at or slightly below eye level. Make sure all parts of your body, like your elbows and wrists, are supported. It’s also not enough to just have good posture. Keeping your muscles and joints moving is extremely important. In fact, being still for long periods with good posture can be worse than regular movement with bad posture. ____40____ And be sure to exercise. Using your muscles will keep them strong enough to support you effectively, on top of all the other benefits to your joints, bones, brain and heart. A. Try redesigning your environment. B. You adjust your body unless you feel tired. C. So if you sit a lot, get up and move around on occasion. D. And the big one that we all experience every day is gravity. E.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。主要介绍了站姿和坐姿不正确的危害以及调整方式。 【36题详解】 根据空后“It is the foundation for every movement your body makes, and can determine how well your body adapts to the stresses on it.（它是你身体所有动作的基础，并且能决定你的身体对压力的适应程度。）”可知，空后的it指代的是G项“你的姿势是你坐着或站着的时候你支撑身体的方式。”中的your posture，本空介绍了什么是你的姿势，空后说明姿势的功能，故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据空前“These stresses can be things like carrying weight, or sitting in an awkward position.（这些压力可以是负重或坐在一个不舒服的位置。）”可知，空前介绍了身体所承受压力有负重和坐在不舒服的位置，故D项“我们每天承受的最大压力就是重力”符合，本空进一步介绍我们每天要承受的压力还有重力，故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据空前“Some muscles will become tight and inflexible.(一些肌肉会变得紧，变得僵硬。)”可知，E项“而且，不良的姿势会对你的关节造成额外的磨损。”是空前的顺义承接，空前提出了不良姿势会让身体肌肉变得紧，变得僵硬，本空的“Besides”，进一步说明不良姿势会造成关节的额外磨损，故选E项。 【39题详解】 根据空前“But what if your posture can’t be that great?(但是，如果你的姿势不可能那么好呢？)”和空后“For example, adjust your screen so it’s at or slightly below eye level. Make sure all parts of your body, like your elbows and wrists, are supported.(例如，调整屏幕，使其处于或略低于眼镜水平。确保你的身体的所有部位，如肘部和手腕，都得到支撑。)”可知，空前提出问题，空后举例说明要调整屏幕，故A项“试着重新调整你的环境”符合，如果姿势不能那么好，那就选择调整环境你，故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据空前“In fact, being still for long periods with good posture can be worse than regular movement with bad posture.(事实上，以良好的姿势长时间静止可能比以不良姿势进行有规律的运动更糟糕。)”可知，空前提出了良好姿势的长时间静止比以不良姿势运动更糟糕，故C项“因此，如果你经常坐着，偶尔要站起来走动一下”符合，空前提出了长时间静止对身体并不好，故要偶尔站起来走动一下，故选C项。 第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） A short video showing a member of the cleaning staff at the Summer Palace in Beijing explaining Buddhist scenic spots drew a lot of traffic on different social media platforms recently, with netizens ____41____(impress) by his mastery of traditional Chinese culture.

His father, a successful physician, cold and strict in Jeff’s words, had firm beliefs that a person would never make a valuable contribution to the world unless they attended and graduated from college by the age of twenty-three. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated. Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company — without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school, he decided to decline his father’s offer and, instead, to work with a ski patrol (滑雪巡逻队). With pain in his eyes, Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort. Hearing Jeffs decision, his father looked off into the distance. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff’s mind: “You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college. Don’t come back in this house until you have enough self-respect to use the brains God gave you and go to school!” The two had not spoken since that conversation. Later, he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. Jeff’s sister had always remained supportive of Jeff’s decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him. The day of the graduation ceremony came, I walked around talking to people before it started. I noticed a man with a confused expression. “Excuse me,” he said as he politely approached me. “What is happening here today?” “It’s graduation day,” I replied, smiling. “Well, that’s odd, he said, “my daughter asked me to meet her at this address.” His eyes sparkled and he smiled. “Maybe she completed her associate’s degree (副学士学位) and wanted to surprise me!” I helped him find a seat. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 As I left him, he said, “Thank you. By the way, my name’s Dr. Holstrom.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jeff was the last person to step onto the stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As I left him, he said, “Thank you. By the way, my name’s Dr. Holstrom.” The name ringing in my mind, I froze on the spot. Jeff Holstrom! Could this be the cold, stern father who demanded his son attend college or never enter his home again? Curiosity and doubt bubbling up, I turned around to get a glimpse of Dr. Holstrom, attempting to find some facial resemblances. Beaming and scanning, Dr. Holstrom seemed to be looking for his daughter. Speeches given, the dean began to read the names of the graduates, inviting them onto the stage one by one to receive their diplomas. Jeff was the last person to cross the stage. Having received his diploma, he turned toward the audience, radiant with joy. Suddenly, a lone figure popped into his eyes — Dr. Holstrom. I was not sure how Jeff spotted him in the crowd, but I could tell their eyes met. Dr. Holstrom, gazing at Jeff thoughtfully for a few seconds, opened his arms as if to embrace the air around him. For a moment time seemed to stand still. Jeff came down, smiling with tears in eyes. “My father is here,” he whispered to me, “I think I’m going home.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jeff告诉作者很多关于他的家庭的事情，Jeff爱好滑雪，高中毕业时没有按照父亲的意愿上大学，而是去了滑雪巡逻队工作，此后两人不再联系，后来Jeff回到家乡上大学，他依然请求家人瞒着父亲，毕业典礼那天作者遇到一个满脸困惑的男人，作者帮他找了一个座位。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我离开他时，他说：‘谢谢你。顺便说一下，我是Holstrom医生。’”可知，第一段可描写作者意识到他就是Jeff的父亲以及毕业生上台接受毕业证书。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jeff是最后一个穿过舞台的人。”可知，第二段可描写Jeff拿到毕业证书后看到了父亲，父亲做出拥抱的动作，Jeff告诉作者自己想回家了。 2.续写线索：僵住——意识到他的身份——毕业生上台接受毕业证书——Jeff看到父亲——父亲做出拥抱的动作——Jeff流泪说要回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回响：ring/echo ②试图做：attempt to do/make an attempt to do ③映入眼帘：pop into his eyes/come into view 情绪类 ①怀疑：doubt/suspicion ②喜悦：joy/enjoyment/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Could this be the cold, stern father who demanded his son attend college or never enter his home again?

B When I was six, I embarrassed a boy in class by telling the teacher he’d wet himself. He sat far behind me but I smelled it, intensely. He was so upset that my grandmother was called into school. When we got home, she warned, “Never use your sense of smell for that again.” She explained that I, like her, had hereditary hyperosmia, meaning I’m a super-smeller. My husband Les and I both pursued medical careers. One day, I was struck by the smell of a patient. I later learned that she had diabetes (糖尿病) and what I smelled was raised ketones, a chemical produced by the liver (肝). I knew doctors wouldn’t accept my diagnoses (诊断), so I stayed quiet. In 1982, before Les’s 32nd birthday, I smelt something strange on him. I thought it might be the air of the place he worked in. Twelve years later, in 1994, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It wasn’t until the last months of his life, more than 20 years later, that we discovered I could detect the disease in others, too. We felt a responsibility to do something. We attended a lecture by Prof. Kunath, a neurobiologist. I asked, “Why is the smell of Parkinson’s not being used for early diagnosis?, , He didn’t answer and we left, disappointed. But four months later, he called our home. He had found me after relaying my question to a colleague, who told him, “You must find her.” We began to work as a team to prove my theory. When Les died in 2015, he made me promise I’d carry on the research. I spent time in labs, smelling sufferers skin oil on swabs (棉签). I could detect whether the person had Parkinson’s with 95% accuracy. This year, our research team published a breakthrough: a three-minute test that can detect the disease by running a swab along someone’s neck. I’ve become known and delivered many lectures. I’m working on detecting cancers and tuberculosis. I never imagined, at 72, this would be my lift’s work. I constantly think about how I lost my Les, but also how I finally fulfilled my promise. 24. What did the author do when she smelt something strange on her husband? A. She took the smell lightly. B. She drove him to hospital. C. She warned him of a disease. D. She made him shower more. 25. Why did Prof. Kunath call the author? A. To make an apology to her. B. To invite her for a specific research. C. To discuss her husband’s disease. D. To promote her to a higher position. 26. How was a patient’s Parkinson’s detected according to Paragraph 5? A. By having a brief talk with the doctor. B. By taking a blood examination. C. By conducting a short and easy skin test. D. By rubbing a swab in the nose. 27. What does the author think of her present work? A. Painful. B. Tiring. C. Easy. D. Rewarding. C A novel contract proposed by a researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas and his colleagues could help ease conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants with which they partner. Food-delivery platforms collect customer orders online, send them to restaurants and deliver the orders to customers. While this service helps restaurants expand their markets, it has disadvantages. More business sounds good, but it comes at the cost of a commission (佣金) charged by the delivery platform. Besides, a large number of delivery orders might place restaurants under pressure. Delivery orders from the platforms can potentially harm the dine-in experience by slowing down the kitchen, and the expectation of a long-time waiting could stop higher-profit dine-in customers from purchasing. This motivated the researchers to identify an alternative contract to change the situation. They developed a model and found that different possible pairs of dine-in and delivery prices would produce higher or lower general income with certain prices achieving the maximum possible general income. The ideal solution trades off the increased income from delivery orders against the negative impact that those orders have on dine-in income, finding the right balance between the two. “If the same company were to control both the dine-in and delivery channels, then it would jointly determine the respective (各自的) prices to maximize the general income,” said one of the researchers. “But of course, the prices are usually set by two different companies, and each seeks to maximize its own income. The key is to design an appropriately structured contract so that when each party maximizes its individual income, the resulting prices also maximize the general income.” “Delivery platforms are widely seen as a necessity for many restaurants, despite the low profit on a delivery order. A restaurant not on a delivery platform risks losing an order to its competitors, and that loss could be a repeat customer,” said one of the researchers. “Food delivery is indeed expected to maintain a large market share. This makes it all the more urgent to improve the relationships between restaurants and platforms.” 28. What does the novel contract focus on? A. Showing restaurants how to profit from food-delivery platforms. B. Demonstrating the development potential of food-delivery platforms. C. Analyzing the conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants. D. Improving the relationship between food-delivery platforms and restaurants. 29. How might the food-delivery orders affect the restaurants they work with? A. By introducing their competitors. B. By lengthening their service hours. C. By changing their operating models. D. By driving up the price of their food. 30. Which could ease the conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants? A. Balanced dine-in and delivery services. B. Reasonable dine-in and delivery prices. C. Limiting the number of food-delivery orders. D. Reducing commissions of food-delivery platforms. 31. What can we learn from the last paragraph about food-delivery platforms? A. They are highly profitable. B. They need to be regulated. C. They have strong competitors. D. They are significant for restaurants. D Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology, it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface. The major mission is to explore how oceans absorb atmospheric heal and CO2 in a natural process that adjusts climate change. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan (查看) the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist. By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible. “Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader. 32. What do the underlined words “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water. 33. What is the major mission of Swot satellite? A. To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2. B. To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being. C. To identify when global warming is worsened. D. To study how oceans influence climate change. 34. What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely? A. The high-definition computer. B. Advanced radar technology. C The three-dimensional image. D. An accurate map of elevations. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. First Global Water Survey from Space B. Successful Launch of Swot Satellite C. A Breakthrough in Space Travel D. A Solution to Climate Change 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Has anyone ever told you, “Stand up straight!” or scolded you for sitting lazily at a family dinner?

His father, a successful physician, cold and strict in Jeff’s words, had firm beliefs that a person would never make a valuable contribution to the world unless they attended and graduated from college by the age of twenty-three. His father had even paved the way for Jeff to attend the same college from which he had graduated. Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company — without a degree. His passion was skiing. When he graduated from high school, he decided to decline his father’s offer and, instead, to work with a ski patrol (滑雪巡逻队). With pain in his eyes, Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort. Hearing Jeffs decision, his father looked off into the distance. Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff’s mind: “You lazy kid. No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college. Don’t come back in this house until you have enough self-respect to use the brains God gave you and go to school!” The two had not spoken since that conversation. Later, he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college. He was doing this for himself, not for his father. Jeff’s sister had always remained supportive of Jeff’s decisions. She stayed in contact with their father, but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with him. The day of the graduation ceremony came, I walked around talking to people before it started. I noticed a man with a confused expression. “Excuse me,” he said as he politely approached me. “What is happening here today?” “It’s graduation day,” I replied, smiling. “Well, that’s odd, he said, “my daughter asked me to meet her at this address.” His eyes sparkled and he smiled. “Maybe she completed her associate’s degree (副学士学位) and wanted to surprise me!” I helped him find a seat. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 As I left him, he said, “Thank you. By the way, my name’s Dr. Holstrom.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jeff was the last person to step onto the stage. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one, why can't we go for a trip this weekend?
