So, when I was 15 and a mysterious woman came into my school, pulled me from a lesson and told me I’d been mishearing things my entire life, I was confused, to say the least. She was an assigned “teacher of the deaf” from South Tyneside Council. The woman explained that I couldn’t hear certain high-frequency pitches, and that I would find it difficult to hear others in rooms with high ceilings or with lots of background noise. I couldn’t hear “f”, “s” or “ph” sounds, and I often confused words, like “Ireland” with “Thailand” for example, because they sound phonetically similar. A test, in which she covered her mouth and repeated sentences, confirmed her suspicions that I was, and probably had always been, lip-reading.She concluded that, without lip-reading, I missed about 15% of every sentence. For people who have hearing loss, lip-reading is subconscious: the mind fills in the gaps using context and knowledge of the person’s facial movements. That’s why it becomes easier to “hear” what someone has said the longer you’ve known them. I was given hearing aids and wore them over the next two years.But gradually I decided to quit wearing them. I found myself diverted by the sounds that my hearing aids picked up. Rather than enhancing my life, they took me out of the moment: all I could focus on was the sound of the grass beneath my feet or the electronic beep sound of the fridge when I left the door open too long. I also wanted to prove that I could succeed in life without them. Largely, I have: a wife, two children, a house and a stable income.I had managed to get through school without needing additional support. Today I still get asked: “Why don’t you wear your hearing aids?” But that’s about it. Giving up my hearing aids showed me that I could still be successful without assistance. 4. What problem does the author have? A. He has occasional ringing in the ears. B. He feels dizzy during long conversations. C. He is unable to make high-frequency sounds. D. He struggles to hear in a noisy room with a high ceiling. 5. What does the second paragraph say about lip-reading? A. It helps the author understand others completely. B. It takes the author a long time to master it. C. It is an essential method to communicate. D. It lets the author follow familiar people more easily. 6. Which can best replace the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3? A. Distracted. B. Tested. C. Rescued. D. Destroyed. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. The best fit is the one that works for you. B Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. C. Turning a deaf ear to others’ criticisms is a way to be yourself. D. He who sees through life and death will meet with most success. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者15岁时发现听力受损，尝试佩戴助听器后放弃，最终证明不依赖辅助也能成功生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The woman explained that I couldn’t hear certain high-frequency pitches, and that I would find it difficult to hear others in rooms with high ceilings or with lots of background noise.(这位女士解释说我听不到某些高频音调，而且我会发现在天花板很高或有很多背景噪音的房间里很难听清别人说话。)”可知，作者在天花板很高且嘈杂的房间里很难听清别人说话。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For people who have hearing loss, lip-reading is subconscious: the mind fills in the gaps using context and knowledge of the person’s facial movements. That’s why it becomes easier to ‘hear’ what someone has said the longer you’ve known them.(对于有听力损失的人来说，唇读是下意识的：大脑利用语境和对他人面部动作的了解来填补空白。这就是为什么你认识一个人越久，就越容易‘听’懂他说的话。)”可知，唇读能让作者更容易理解熟悉的人说的话。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“I found myself diverted by the sounds that my hearing aids picked up. Rather than enhancing my life, they took me out of the moment: all I could focus on was the sound of the grass beneath my feet or the electronic beep sound of the fridge when I left the door open too long.(我发现自己被助听器接收到的声音diverted了。它们并没有改善我的生活，反而让我脱离了当下：我所能专注的只是我脚下草地的声音，或者当我把冰箱门开得太久时冰箱发出的电子哔哔声。)”可知，助听器接收到的声音让作者分心，无法专注当下。所以猜测diverted表“使人分心的”，A选项Distracted.(使分心)符合语境。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者有听力损失，佩戴助听器后发现助听器让自己分心，最后放弃佩戴并成功地生活着，由此可知适合自己的才是最好的。故选A。 C In this big Vietnamese city, Da Nang, one prime piece of real estate remains mostly untouched: the mountainous and forested tip of the city's peninsula. It is a 6,400-acre nature reserve called Son Tra. The reserve is a last refuge for the douc, a critically endangered monkey that numbers only about 2,000 there. This is not an easy achievement. The douc is among the many species that have suffered huge declines because of habitat loss, which studies show is the biggest driver of biodiversity loss globally, and especially in Southeast Asia. Urban growth is a major contributor to the problem. Experts warn that animals unable to adapt to urban settings may be pushed into ever-smaller, isolated spots, which results in their trouble in living. In Son Tra, some deforestation can be traced back to the Vietnam War, when the forests were sprayed (喷洒) with a harmful substance by Americans. As the Vietnamese government's focus remained clearly on growing its economy in the years following the war, wildlife protection didn't receive enough attention. As recently as a decade ago, few people in Da Nang even knew the douc existed in Son Tra, according to Larry Ulibarri, an anthropologist at the University of Oregon in Eugene. Recognition of the douc began to grow when GreenViet, which was formed ten years ago, and other conservationists started organizing photo exhibits, school visits, and other outreach programs. Plans made by developers in 2016 to build several seaside resorts inside the reserve led to a public outcry. Campaigners collected 10,000 signatures protesting the project, an unusual display of public opposition in Vietnam. When national leaders joined the call, the project was given up. Son Tra's military staff has prevented illegal hunters, and hunting is no longer considered a major threat in the reserve. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The introduction to Da Nang. B. Son Tra's significance to the douc. C. The popularity of the douc in Son Tra. D. Exceptionally endangered animals in Vietnam. 9. What do we know about the biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia? A. It mainly results from lack of living space. B. It leads to studies on better urban settings. C. It gets due attention from the government. D. It's bound to take place along with economy development. 10. What happened to the forests in Son Tra during the Vietnam War? A. They were used as shelters. B. They received inadequate water. C. They were ruined by a chemical. D. They produced huge quantities of wood. 11. The tone of the last paragraph can be best described as________. A. pessimistic B. concerned C. critical D. delightful 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了越南岘港市的Son Tra自然保护区，这里是极度濒危物种白臀叶猴的最后栖息地。文中说明了生物多样性丧失的原因，Son Tra森林曾遭受的破坏，以及后来人们对白臀叶猴的认识逐渐增强，对保护区的保护措施和成果。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It is a 6,400 - acre nature reserve called Son Tra. The reserve is a last refuge for the douc, a critically endangered monkey that numbers only about 2,000 there.(这是一个 6400 英亩的自然保护区，名为Son Tra。该保护区是白臀叶猴的最后避难所，白臀叶猴是一种极度濒危的猴子，在那里仅存约 2000 只)” 可知，第一段主要介绍了Son Tra对白臀叶猴的重要性。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The douc is among the many species that have suffered huge declines because of habitat loss, which studies show is the biggest driver of biodiversity loss globally, and especially in Southeast Asia.(白臀叶猴是因栖息地丧失而数量大幅下降的众多物种之一，研究表明，栖息地丧失是全球生物多样性丧失的最大驱动因素，在东南亚尤其如此)” 可知，东南亚生物多样性丧失主要是由于栖息地丧失，即缺乏生存空间。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In Son Tra, some deforestation can be traced back to the Vietnam War, when the forests were sprayed (喷洒) with a harmful substance by Americans.(在Son Tra，一些森林砍伐可以追溯到越南战争时期，当时美国人向森林喷洒了一种有害物质)”可知，越南战争期间，Son Tra的森林被化学物质破坏。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Recognition of the douc began to grow when GreenViet, which was formed ten years ago, and other conservationists started organizing photo exhibits, school visits, and other outreach programs. Plans made by developers in 2016 to build several seaside resorts inside the reserve led to a public outcry. Campaigners collected 10,000 signatures protesting the project, an unusual display of public opposition in Vietnam. When national leaders joined the call, the project was given up. Son Tra's military staff has prevented illegal hunters, and hunting is no longer considered a major threat in the reserve.(十年前成立的GreenViet和其他环保人士开始组织照片展览、参观学校和其他推广项目，人们开始认识到这一问题。2016年，开发商计划在保护区内建造几个海滨度假胜地，这引发了公众的强烈抗议。活动人士收集了1万个签名来抗议该项目，这是越南公众反对该项目的罕见表现。当各国领导人加入呼吁时，该项目被放弃了。Son Tra的军事人员阻止了非法猎人，狩猎不再被视为保护区的主要威胁)”可知，人们对白臀叶猴的保护取得了一定成效，整体氛围是积极的，所以最后一段的语气是令人愉快的。故选D。 D Adolescents' enthusiasm for beauty products is nothing new.Today, however, skin care is a far more serious business.Gone are the days of teens aimlessly browsing random drugstores by day and dirtying their pillows with bronzer by night.Now, kids don't just know how to get cleaned up properly, but also they've taken to beauty products with greater enthusiasm.Ridiculous as it sounds, that craze is sharply unpleasant. The closer you look at the teen skin care craze, the more issues appear.Doctors report children as young as nine, coming to their offices for cosmetic consultations.Teens are crazy about the so-called “preventative” anti-aging properties of a brand, and the Internet is filled with youngsters seeking for solutions to their “wrinkles”. All this comes with harmful undercurrents less familiar to the adults who went before them. Adult products boasting “anti-aging, tightening, wrinkle-reducing, brightening and firming” effects are likely to include ingredients unsuitable for kids' skin, which is yet to form the protective barriers necessary to handle them, and therefore teens may develop allergies to some ingredients.Moreover, their prices remain decidedly grown-up, and the potential cost overall is breathtaking.This might put economical pressure on kids and on the parents who often foot the bill. “Preventative” anti-aging is a perfect trick for companies willing to take advantage of youthful insecurities.There's no way of knowing what you'd have looked like if you hadn't used the products, but you can certainly assume you'd look worse if you stopped.Once teens get a little older, an additional world of non-surgical procedures becomes available to them, the cost of which can run into the thousands. Until just several years ago, parents' main beauty-related concern was that their kids might go out wearing “too much” makeup.When I was growing up, I experimented, with minimal investment, and then I moved on.That's how it should be.The most worrying thing about today's skin care craze isn't just that the financial and emotional buy-in are completely out of proportion to the “need” being addressed.They may set kids up for lasting damage.So stay away from beauty products, young people! 12. How does the author feel about teens' enthusiasm for beauty products? A. Embarrassed. B. Panicked. C. Negative. D. Confused. 13. Why do teenagers have a passion for beauty products? A. They tend to make comparisons with others. B. They are uncertain about their physical changes. C. They are influenced by online information about health. D. They try to avoid high prices of non-surgical procedures. 14. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. The right attitude to beauty products. B Teenagers' misuse of beauty products. C. The solution to kids' beauty-related issues. D. Parents' concern about kids' craze for makeup. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How to get rid of annoying wrinkles. B. A new trend:“Preventative” anti-aging. C. What to blame for fake beauty products. D. A warning sign:Teens' craze for skin care. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了青少年对美容产品的狂热这一现象，分析了该现象产生的原因及带来的问题，呼吁青少年远离美容产品。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Ridiculous as it sounds, that craze is sharply unpleasant.(尽管这听起来很荒谬，但这种狂热令人非常不快)” 可知，作者对青少年热衷于美容产品持否定态度。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Preventative” anti - aging is a perfect trick for companies willing to take advantage of youthful insecurities.(“预防性”抗衰老对于那些愿意利用年轻人不安全感的公司来说是一个完美的噱头)” 可知，青少年对身体变化感到不确定，所以容易被公司利用，从而对美容产品产生热情。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段 “Until just several years ago, parents' main beauty-related concern was that their kids might go out wearing “too much” makeup.When I was growing up, I experimented, with minimal investment, and then I moved on.That's how it should be.The most worrying thing about today's skin care craze isn't just that the financial and emotional buy-in are completely out of proportion to the “need” being addressed.They may set kids up for lasting damage.So stay away from beauty products, young people!(直到几年前，父母主要担心的与美容相关的问题是他们的孩子可能会化着 “浓妆” 出门。在我成长的过程中，我用很少的投入进行尝试，然后就不再过度关注了。事情就应该是这样的。如今的护肤狂热最令人担忧的不仅仅是经济和情感上的投入与所解决的 “需求” 完全不成比例。它们可能会给孩子们带来持久的伤害。所以年轻人，远离美容产品！)” 可知，作者先是对比了过去和现在关于青少年美容的情况，然后强调了如今护肤狂热的危害，最后直接呼吁年轻人远离美容产品，表明了对美容产品应持有的正确态度，即远离美容产品。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出青少年对美容产品的热情这一现象，接着分析了这一现象带来的问题，如成人护肤品成分不适合青少年皮肤、价格高昂以及商家利用青少年的不安全感等，最后呼吁青少年远离美容产品。根据文章最后一段 “So stay away from beauty products, young people!(所以年轻人，远离美容产品！)” 可知，文章主要是对青少年热衷护肤品这一现象发出警告。选项 D“一个警告信号：青少年对护肤品的狂热” 为最佳标题。故选D。 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。 Committing yourself to eating healthier is a common way to kick off a new year. You might start by researching salad recipes and stocking up on lettuce (生菜) and other greens. But after a few days in the fridge, your lettuce might not be looking so fresh. ____16____ This can leave you wondering: Do these changes mean your salad greens aren’t safe for consumption? Can you still eat those leaves? To better understand the changes in salad greens, food safety and produce experts explain why they occur and how to know if your lettuce is still safe to eat.  ____17____ It’s a natural post-harvest characteristic. The primary reasons behind this discoloration are due to improper handling and storage. If the leaves are bruised or cut, or if the lettuce is stored with an excess of moisture, this can result in much faster development of rust (锈病) on the leaves. The rusty discoloration may be ugly, but it doesn’t make the lettuce unsafe to eat. ____18____ As long as the rest of the leaves appear fresh and firm, it’s safe to eat the pink parts.  Storing salad greens correctly will help keep them fresh for longer.____19____ Also keep greens cold, preferably between 1 and 5 degrees Celsius, to slow rusting and breakdown.  Before eating, sort through your leaves and remove anything soft, discolored, or slimy, to be on the safe side. Avoid eating anything with an unpleasant or sour smell. A few bad leaves likely won’t cause the rest of the pack to go bad. ____20____ A. The reddish-pink discoloration that shows up on lettuce is known as “rusting”. B. However, if the majority of them seem off, throw the whole package away. C. You’d better keep leafy greens separate from other fruits and vegetables. D. Maybe it is showing some pinkness or redness on its leaves. E. But you can just chop the pink parts off if they bother you. F. Dark or wet leaves can otherwise signal damage. G. Some part of it may get wet and soft. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍生菜储存后变色原因，说明锈病变色不影响食用，还给出储存与食用建议 。 【16题详解】 根据上文“But after a few days in the fridge, your lettuce might not be looking so fresh.(但是在冰箱里放了几天后，你的生菜可能看起来不那么新鲜了。)”以及下文“This can leave you wondering: Do these changes mean your salad greens aren’t safe for consumption?(这可能会让你疑惑：这些变化是否意味着你的沙拉蔬菜不安全，不能食用了？)”可知，此处应具体描述生菜不新鲜的样子。D选项Maybe it is showing some pinkness or redness on its leaves.(也许它的叶子上会出现一些粉红色或红色。)承接上文说明生菜不新鲜的表现，引出下文关于这种变化是否影响食用的疑问，符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据下文“It’s a natural post-harvest characteristic. The primary reasons behind this discoloration are due to improper handling and storage.(这是一种自然的收获后特征。这种变色的主要原因是处理和储存不当。)”可知，此处应先介绍生菜出现的某种变色现象。A选项The reddish-pink discoloration that shows up on lettuce is known as “rusting”.(生菜上出现的红粉色变色现象被称为“锈病”。)引出下文对这种现象的进一步解释，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The rusty discoloration may be ugly, but it doesn’t make the lettuce unsafe to eat.(锈病变色可能不好看，但它不会使生菜不安全而不能食用。)”以及下文“As long as the rest of the leaves appear fresh and firm, it’s safe to eat the pink parts.(只要其余的叶子看起来新鲜且紧实，粉红色的部分就可以安全食用。)”可知，此处应说明对锈病变色部分的处理方式。E选项But you can just chop the pink parts off if they bother you.(但如果粉红色部分让你介意，你可以把它们切掉。)承接上文说明锈病变色不影响食用，又给出处理建议，与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Storing salad greens correctly will help keep them fresh for longer.(正确储存沙拉蔬菜有助于让它们保持新鲜更久。)”以及下文“Also keep greens cold, preferably between 1 and 5 degrees Celsius, to slow rusting and breakdown.(还要让蔬菜保持低温，最好在1到5摄氏度之间，以减缓锈病的发生和腐烂。)”可知，此处应介绍储存沙拉蔬菜的具体方法。C选项You’d better keep leafy greens separate from other fruits and vegetables.(你最好把叶菜类蔬菜与其他水果和蔬菜分开存放。)是储存方法之一，符合语境，与下文并列介绍储存方法。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“A few bad leaves likely won’t cause the rest of the pack to go bad.(几片坏叶子可能不会导致整包蔬菜变坏。)”可知，此处应说明叶子大部分不好时的处理方式。B选项However, if the majority of them seem off, throw the whole package away.(然而，如果大部分叶子看起来都不好了，就把整包扔掉。)与上文形成转折，说明了大部分叶子不好时的做法，符合语境。故选B。 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。 A group of extraordinary grandmothers lovely known as the Knitwits, use their knitting needles to weave threads to bring ____21____ to the young patients and comfort them.

From clocks that wouldn’t tick to bikes that had lost their click, Carlos could mend almost anything and the locals would say, “If Carlo s can’t fix it, then it can’t be fixed.” Carlos had a son named Luis who admired his father’s talent but had his heart set on music. He would spend hours sitting outside the shop, playing the guitar, filling the air with melodies. Carlos loved his son’s music, but he often worried about his future. “Music is your passion, son, but fixing things is a steady trade”, he would say. One day, the neighborhood’s joy was affected by the news that the beloved park, where children played and families gathered, was going to be closed down. “It’s old and unsafe,” the city officials said. “It would take too much to fix it.” The community was heartbroken because the park was where memories were made. Carlos and Luis walked through the park sadly. As they passed the silent swings and the rusty (生锈的) slide, an idea began to form in Luis’ mind. “What if we fix the park, Dad? We could do it together!” But Carlos shook his head, “It’s a big job, dear. Bigger than any we’ve done before.” Instead of being in despair, Luis organized a concert in the park to raise awareness and funds. The whole neighborhood came to hear him play, their spirits lifted by his songs of hope and unity. After the concert, Carlos stood up, moved by the community’s outpouring of love for the park and their shared moments under the stars. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “We will fix our park!” Carlos declared to the crowd. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Park was saved due to the city official’s support. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “We will fix our park!” Carlos declared to the crowd. The words echoed through the park, filling the air with a renewed sense of hope. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their energy and determination igniting a spark within each other. Carlos continued, “Together, we will make this park shine again. We’ll use my skills to mend the broken structures and Luis’ music to inspire and unite us.” The neighbors nodded in agreement, ready to roll up their sleeves and contribute in any way they could. The Park was saved due to the city officials’ support, but it was the collective efforts of the community that truly made the difference. After hearing about the concert and the passionate speeches made by Carlos and Luis, the officials were touched by the residents’ dedication to preserving their cherished space. They agreed to provide necessary funding and resources, recognizing the value of the park as a hub for community bonding and childhood memories. As the park slowly regained its former glory, the community felt a renewed sense of pride and belonging. The city officials even organized an official reopening ceremony, where Luis performed a special concert, dedicating his music to the park and the people who made its salvation possible. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了卡洛斯是一个修理工，他所在的公园将要被政府拆掉，整个社区都很伤心，因为公园是留下回忆的地方。于是卡洛斯联合自己的儿子路易斯呼吁大家一起修理公园，最终感动政府，保留下了公园。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘我们会修好我们的公园!’卡洛斯向人群宣布”可知，第一段可描写卡洛斯呼吁修理公园发表的演讲内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“由于市政府官员的支持，公园得以保存”可知，第二段可描写公园被保存下来，成为了娱乐地点。 2.续写线索：呼吁修理公园——人群热情呼应——公园得到修缮——官员被感动——公园得以保留 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①利用：use/take advantage of ②爆发：erupt into/burst into ③恢复：regain/recover 情绪类 ①鼓舞：inspire/encourage ②感动：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] The city officials even organized an official reopening ceremony, where Luis performed a special concert, dedicating his music to the park and the people who made its salvation possible.

So, when I was 15 and a mysterious woman came into my school, pulled me from a lesson and told me I’d been mishearing things my entire life, I was confused, to say the least. She was an assigned “teacher of the deaf” from South Tyneside Council. The woman explained that I couldn’t hear certain high-frequency pitches, and that I would find it difficult to hear others in rooms with high ceilings or with lots of background noise. I couldn’t hear “f”, “s” or “ph” sounds, and I often confused words, like “Ireland” with “Thailand” for example, because they sound phonetically similar. A test, in which she covered her mouth and repeated sentences, confirmed her suspicions that I was, and probably had always been, lip-reading.She concluded that, without lip-reading, I missed about 15% of every sentence. For people who have hearing loss, lip-reading is subconscious: the mind fills in the gaps using context and knowledge of the person’s facial movements. That’s why it becomes easier to “hear” what someone has said the longer you’ve known them. I was given hearing aids and wore them over the next two years.But gradually I decided to quit wearing them. I found myself diverted by the sounds that my hearing aids picked up. Rather than enhancing my life, they took me out of the moment: all I could focus on was the sound of the grass beneath my feet or the electronic beep sound of the fridge when I left the door open too long. I also wanted to prove that I could succeed in life without them. Largely, I have: a wife, two children, a house and a stable income.I had managed to get through school without needing additional support. Today I still get asked: “Why don’t you wear your hearing aids?” But that’s about it. Giving up my hearing aids showed me that I could still be successful without assistance. 4. What problem does the author have? A. He has occasional ringing in the ears. B. He feels dizzy during long conversations. C. He is unable to make high-frequency sounds. D. He struggles to hear in a noisy room with a high ceiling. 5. What does the second paragraph say about lip-reading? A. It helps the author understand others completely. B. It takes the author a long time to master it. C. It is an essential method to communicate. D. It lets the author follow familiar people more easily. 6. Which can best replace the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3? A. Distracted. B. Tested. C. Rescued. D. Destroyed. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. The best fit is the one that works for you. B. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. C Turning a deaf ear to others’ criticisms is a way to be yourself. D. He who sees through life and death will meet with most success. C In this big Vietnamese city, Da Nang, one prime piece of real estate remains mostly untouched: the mountainous and forested tip of the city's peninsula. It is a 6,400-acre nature reserve called Son Tra. The reserve is a last refuge for the douc, a critically endangered monkey that numbers only about 2,000 there. This is not an easy achievement. The douc is among the many species that have suffered huge declines because of habitat loss, which studies show is the biggest driver of biodiversity loss globally, and especially in Southeast Asia. Urban growth is a major contributor to the problem. Experts warn that animals unable to adapt to urban settings may be pushed into ever-smaller, isolated spots, which results in their trouble in living. In Son Tra, some deforestation can be traced back to the Vietnam War, when the forests were sprayed (喷洒) with a harmful substance by Americans. As the Vietnamese government's focus remained clearly on growing its economy in the years following the war, wildlife protection didn't receive enough attention. As recently as a decade ago, few people in Da Nang even knew the douc existed in Son Tra, according to Larry Ulibarri, an anthropologist at the University of Oregon in Eugene. Recognition of the douc began to grow when GreenViet, which was formed ten years ago, and other conservationists started organizing photo exhibits, school visits, and other outreach programs. Plans made by developers in 2016 to build several seaside resorts inside the reserve led to a public outcry. Campaigners collected 10,000 signatures protesting the project, an unusual display of public opposition in Vietnam. When national leaders joined the call, the project was given up. Son Tra's military staff has prevented illegal hunters, and hunting is no longer considered a major threat in the reserve. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The introduction to Da Nang. B. Son Tra's significance to the douc. C. The popularity of the douc in Son Tra. D. Exceptionally endangered animals in Vietnam. 9. What do we know about the biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia? A. It mainly results from lack of living space. B. It leads to studies on better urban settings. C. It gets due attention from the government. D. It's bound to take place along with economy development. 10. What happened to the forests in Son Tra during the Vietnam War? A. They were used as shelters. B. They received inadequate water. C. They were ruined by a chemical. D. They produced huge quantities of wood. 11. The tone of the last paragraph can be best described as________. A. pessimistic B. concerned C. critical D. delightful D Adolescents' enthusiasm for beauty products is nothing new.Today, however, skin care is a far more serious business.Gone are the days of teens aimlessly browsing random drugstores by day and dirtying their pillows with bronzer by night.Now, kids don't just know how to get cleaned up properly, but also they've taken to beauty products with greater enthusiasm.Ridiculous as it sounds, that craze is sharply unpleasant. The closer you look at the teen skin care craze, the more issues appear.Doctors report children as young as nine, coming to their offices for cosmetic consultations.Teens are crazy about the so-called “preventative” anti-aging properties of a brand, and the Internet is filled with youngsters seeking for solutions to their “wrinkles”. All this comes with harmful undercurrents less familiar to the adults who went before them. Adult products boasting “anti-aging, tightening, wrinkle-reducing, brightening and firming” effects are likely to include ingredients unsuitable for kids' skin, which is yet to form the protective barriers necessary to handle them, and therefore teens may develop allergies to some ingredients.Moreover, their prices remain decidedly grown-up, and the potential cost overall is breathtaking.This might put economical pressure on kids and on the parents who often foot the bill. “Preventative” anti-aging is a perfect trick for companies willing to take advantage of youthful insecurities.There's no way of knowing what you'd have looked like if you hadn't used the products, but you can certainly assume you'd look worse if you stopped.Once teens get a little older, an additional world of non-surgical procedures becomes available to them, the cost of which can run into the thousands. Until just several years ago, parents' main beauty-related concern was that their kids might go out wearing “too much” makeup.When I was growing up, I experimented, with minimal investment, and then I moved on.That's how it should be.The most worrying thing about today's skin care craze isn't just that the financial and emotional buy-in are completely out of proportion to the “need” being addressed.They may set kids up for lasting damage.So stay away from beauty products, young people! 12. How does the author feel about teens' enthusiasm for beauty products? A. Embarrassed. B. Panicked. C. Negative. D. Confused. 13. Why do teenagers have a passion for beauty products? A.

They try to avoid high prices of non-surgical procedures. 14. What does the author focus on in the last paragraph? A. The right attitude to beauty products. B. Teenagers' misuse of beauty products. C. The solution to kids' beauty-related issues. D. Parents' concern about kids' craze for makeup. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. How to get rid of annoying wrinkles. B. A new trend:“Preventative” anti-aging. C. What to blame for fake beauty products. D. A warning sign:Teens' craze for skin care. 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。 Committing yourself to eating healthier is a common way to kick off a new year. You might start by researching salad recipes and stocking up on lettuce (生菜) and other greens. But after a few days in the fridge, your lettuce might not be looking so fresh. ____16____ This can leave you wondering: Do these changes mean your salad greens aren’t safe for consumption? Can you still eat those leaves? To better understand the changes in salad greens, food safety and produce experts explain why they occur and how to know if your lettuce is still safe to eat.  ____17____ It’s a natural post-harvest characteristic. The primary reasons behind this discoloration are due to improper handling and storage. If the leaves are bruised or cut, or if the lettuce is stored with an excess of moisture, this can result in much faster development of rust (锈病) on the leaves. The rusty discoloration may be ugly, but it doesn’t make the lettuce unsafe to eat. ____18____ As long as the rest of the leaves appear fresh and firm, it’s safe to eat the pink parts.  Storing salad greens correctly will help keep them fresh for longer.____19____ Also keep greens cold, preferably between 1 and 5 degrees Celsius, to slow rusting and breakdown.  Before eating, sort through your leaves and remove anything soft, discolored, or slimy, to be on the safe side. Avoid eating anything with an unpleasant or sour smell. A few bad leaves likely won’t cause the rest of the pack to go bad. ____20____ A. The reddish-pink discoloration that shows up on lettuce is known as “rusting”. B. However, if the majority of them seem off, throw the whole package away. C. You’d better keep leafy greens separate from other fruits and vegetables. D. Maybe it is showing some pinkness or redness on its leaves. E. But you can just chop the pink parts off if they bother you. F. Dark or wet leaves can otherwise signal damage. G. Some part of it may get wet and soft. 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。 A group of extraordinary grandmothers, lovely known as the Knitwits, use their knitting needles to weave threads to bring ____21____ to the young patients and comfort them.

From clocks that wouldn’t tick to bikes that had lost their click, Carlos could mend almost anything and the locals would say, “If Carlo s can’t fix it, then it can’t be fixed.” Carlos had a son named Luis who admired his father’s talent but had his heart set on music. He would spend hours sitting outside the shop, playing the guitar, filling the air with melodies. Carlos loved his son’s music, but he often worried about his future. “Music is your passion, son, but fixing things is a steady trade”, he would say. One day the neighborhood’s joy was affected by the news that the beloved park, where children played and families gathered, was going to be closed down. “It’s old and unsafe,” the city officials said. “It would take too much to fix it.” The community was heartbroken because the park was where memories were made. Carlos and Luis walked through the park sadly. As they passed the silent swings and the rusty (生锈的) slide, an idea began to form in Luis’ mind. “What if we fix the park, Dad? We could do it together!” But Carlos shook his head, “It’s a big job, dear. Bigger than any we’ve done before.” Instead of being in despair, Luis organized a concert in the park to raise awareness and funds. The whole neighborhood came to hear him play, their spirits lifted by his songs of hope and unity. After the concert, Carlos stood up, moved by the community’s outpouring of love for the park and their shared moments under the stars. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “We will fix our park!” Carlos declared to the crowd. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Park was saved due to the city official’s support. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
