A
Four Most Beautiful Lakes in the World
Lake Ohrid
Ancient Lake Ohrid has been around for about five million years and straddles (横跨) the mountainous border between Macedonia and Albania. It has unique plants and wildlife, including the “plashica”, a fish native to the lake.
Phewa Lake
Phewa Lake in Nepal is famed for its still, crystal-clear waters, which offer a picture-perfect reflection of Mount Machapuchare. Belonging to the Annapurna range of peaks in the Himalayas, Machapuchare is honored by locals and climbing it is forbidden. Visitors can take a boat to an island in the middle of the lake that is home to the eighteenth-century Hindu Tal Barahi temple.
Lake Maggiore
Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district — which also includes lakes Como, Garda and Lugano — it is shared with Switzerland.
Five Flower Lake
Set in the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province of China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres revealing ancient fallen trees on the lakebed. It differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up, which is truly unlike other lakes.
1. Where is Phewa Lake?
A. In China. B. In Nepal. C. In Albania. D. In Macedonia.
2. Which of the following is Italy’s longest lake?
A. Phewa Lake B. Lake Ohrid. C. Lake Maggiore. D. Five Flower Lake.

C. It is famous for the Hindu Tal Barahi temple. D. It is surrounded by the Lipontine Alps.

Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.
4. The author’s father worked at the local hospital to_______________.
A. make his serious heart condition less serious B. keep himself occupied and pleased
C. realize his childhood dream D. earn money to pay for treatment
5. How did the author’s father help the paralyzed little girl?
A. He helped her practice walking. B. He visited her and made a toy for her.
C. He showed her she could still do things. D. He painted special pictures for her.
6. According to Paragraph 3, the paralyzed girl _______________.
A. eventually became a unique painter
B. was sent home and never seen again
C. gradually recovered and walked
D. sent the author’s dad a picture painted with her mouth
7. What message does the passage mainly convey?
A. It’s better to give than to receive.
B. A sick person should not focus on his disease.
C. Volunteering is a worthwhile thing to do.
D. Love can sometimes bring great results.
C
If you lack time to exercise during the working week, don’t worry. A study of nearly 90,000 participants in the UK suggests that putting all your weekly exercise on weekends still has significant health benefits compared with being inactive. In this study, participants who cram all their recommended weekly physical activity into one or two days are referred to as “weekend warriors”.
The researchers collected data from 89,573 volunteers by requiring them to wear a wrist device to track their weekly physical activity. These participants were then divided into three groups based on their exercise patterns: regular exercisers, who spread their exercise throughout the week; weekend warriors, who did most of their exercise in one day or two; and inactive participants. After grouping the participants, the researchers compared their health records to examine the related health benefits.
The study found that, compared with those who were inactive, weekend warriors and regular exercisers experienced similar health benefits, with both groups having a lower risk of developing more than 200 diseases. Specifically, the strongest effects were for cardio metabolic diseases. Both groups had a 20% lower risk of high blood pressure and a 40% lower risk of diabetes.
Dr. Shaan Khurshid, a cardiologist at Massachusetts general hospital in Boston, who led the study, said, “It shows that, for health benefits, it’s really the amount of physical activity rather than its frequency that matters. The key is, however, you are going to get that amount, do it in the way that works for you.
Khurshid also mentioned the need for more research to explore whether the “weekend warrior” workout pattern could help people reach their activity goals more easily. “It might be more convenient for some people and help them follow public health advice better,” he said.
8. According to the study, “weekend warriors” refer to those who ______
A. stay inactive during the whole week.
B. avoid any physical activity during the weekends.
C. exercise moderately every day during the whole week.
D. pack the recommended physical activity into the weekend.
9. How did the researchers test the health benefits in the three groups?
A. By checking their physical health. B. By comparing their health records.
C. By reviewing their exercise records. D. By examining their workout patterns.
10. According to Dr. Khurshid, what is more important for health benefits?
A. How often you exercise each week. B. How long you exercise each time.
C. How much exercise you do each week. D. How much effort you put into exercise.
11. What can we infer about the “weekend warrior” workout pattern?
A. It follows public health advice.
B. It might suit people with busy schedules.
C. It could help people reach their workout goals.
D. It will soon be promoted as the best exercise plan.
D
Last Saturday, when my grandfather got frustrated at the name of the singer of a song, I grabbed my smartphone and found it in seconds. This astonished my grandfather, who didn’t understand how I’d checked the information so quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards, it made me think about how much I depend on technology.
When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point.
Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the university’s academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.
When we compare the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they’ve always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.
12. Why does the author mention the story of his grandfather?
A. To share an interesting experience. B. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.
C. To provide an example for his opinion. D. To arouse readers’ concern about a problem.
13. What is the grandfather’s attitude towards the role of technology?
A. Favourable. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
14. What is a new challenge technology brings to the academic support team?
A Using various electronic devices. B. Scheduling online communication.
C. Providing more flexible reading lists. D. Responding to all inquiries from students.
15. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Students should make full use of technology.
B. Students should value the time and enjoy their life.
C. We should take technological differences seriously.
D. We should resist the temptation of up-coming innovation.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever there were some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that but for a sports meet. By mistake, my name was put on the list of the women’s 1,500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late. My deskmate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three events already.” Other girls of the class said the same.
I was dumbfounded (目瞪口呆). 1,500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare (恶梦) I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they said.
My deskmate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will train together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1,500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. Every afternoon after class, my deskmate ran beside me.
One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if to run beside me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在以下位置作答。
With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Four Most Beautiful Lakes in the World
Lake Ohrid
Ancient Lake Ohrid has been around for about five million years and straddles (横跨) the mountainous border between Macedonia and Albania. It has unique plants and wildlife, including the “plashica”, a fish native to the lake.
Phewa Lake
Phewa Lake in Nepal is famed for its still, crystal-clear waters, which offer a picture-perfect reflection of Mount Machapuchare. Belonging to the Annapurna range of peaks in the Himalayas, Machapuchare is honored by locals and climbing it is forbidden.

Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district — which also includes lakes Como, Garda and Lugano — it is shared with Switzerland.
Five Flower Lake
Set in the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province of China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres revealing ancient fallen trees on the lakebed. It differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up, which is truly unlike other lakes.

Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

If you lack time to exercise during the working week, don’t worry. A study of nearly 90,000 participants in the UK suggests that putting all your weekly exercise on weekends still has significant health benefits compared with being inactive. In this study, participants who cram all their recommended weekly physical activity into one or two days are referred to as “weekend warriors”.
The researchers collected data from 89,573 volunteers by requiring them to wear a wrist device to track their weekly physical activity. These participants were then divided into three groups based on their exercise patterns: regular exercisers, who spread their exercise throughout the week; weekend warriors, who did most of their exercise in one day or two; and inactive participants. After grouping the participants, the researchers compared their health records to examine the related health benefits.
The study found that, compared with those who were inactive, weekend warriors and regular exercisers experienced similar health benefits, with both groups having a lower risk of developing more than 200 diseases. Specifically, the strongest effects were for cardio metabolic diseases. Both groups had a 20% lower risk of high blood pressure and a 40% lower risk of diabetes.
Dr. Shaan Khurshid, a cardiologist at Massachusetts general hospital in Boston, who led the study, said, “It shows that, for health benefits, it’s really the amount of physical activity rather than its frequency that matters. The key is, however, you are going to get that amount, do it in the way that works for you.
Khurshid also mentioned the need for more research to explore whether the “weekend warrior” workout pattern could help people reach their activity goals more easily. “It might be more convenient for some people and help them follow public health advice better,” he said.
8. According to the study, “weekend warriors” refer to those who ______
A. stay inactive during the whole week.
B. avoid any physical activity during the weekends.
C. exercise moderately every day during the whole week.
D. pack the recommended physical activity into the weekend.
9. How did the researchers test the health benefits in the three groups?
A. By checking their physical health. B. By comparing their health records.
C. By reviewing their exercise records. D. By examining their workout patterns.
10. According to Dr. Khurshid, what is more important for health benefits?
A. How often you exercise each week. B. How long you exercise each time.
C. How much exercise you do each week. D. How much effort you put into exercise.
11. What can we infer about the “weekend warrior” workout pattern?
A. It follows public health advice.
B. It might suit people with busy schedules.
C. It could help people reach their workout goals.
D. It will soon be promoted as the best exercise plan.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B

Last Saturday, when my grandfather got frustrated at the name of the singer of a song, I grabbed my smartphone and found it in seconds. This astonished my grandfather, who didn’t understand how I’d checked the information so quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards, it made me think about how much I depend on technology.
When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point.
Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these libraries with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors, and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the university’s academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.
When we compare the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what they’ve always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in technology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.
12. Why does the author mention the story of his grandfather?
A. To share an interesting experience. B. To draw readers’ attention to the topic.
C. To provide an example for his opinion. D. To arouse readers’ concern about a problem.
13. What is the grandfather’s attitude towards the role of technology?
A. Favourable. B. Tolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
14. What is a new challenge technology brings to the academic support team?
A. Using various electronic devices. B. Scheduling online communication.
C. Providing more flexible reading lists. D. Responding to all inquiries from students.
15. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Students should make full use of technology.
B. Students should value the time and enjoy their life.
C. We should take technological differences seriously.
D. We should resist the temptation of up-coming innovation.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者参加由著名探险家Sir Ernest Shackleton带领的南极探险队的经历。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:和伟大的Sir Ernest Shackleton一起去南极探险——这是我一直梦想的冒险。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,先行词adventure是探险,指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,因此用关系代词that/which引导定语从句,故填that/which。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:然而,当我申请加入探险队时,Shackleton拒绝了我,因为他认为我太年轻,不合格,所以我偷偷地登上了他的船,耐力号。由下文“I was too young”可知,作者被拒绝了,turn down意为“拒绝”,因此空格处是down,故填down。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:然而,当我申请加入探险队时,Shackleton拒绝了我,因为他认为我太年轻,不合格,所以我偷偷地登上了他的船,耐力号。由上文“I was too young and wasn’t”可知,句子表示“他认为我太年轻,不合格”,空格处意为“不合格的”,用形容词作表语,是qualified,故填qualified。
【39题详解】
考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:后来我被人发现了,Shackleton派我去当男服务员。discover是谓语动词,作者是被发现,描述过去的事情,因此用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是I,因此空格处是was discovered,故填was discovered。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:后来我被人发现了,Shackleton派我去当男服务员。steward是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,steward是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:在我们弃船之前,Shackleton平静地告诉我们要拯救我们最重要的物资,他扔掉了他所有的金子。空格处用副词calmly作状语修饰动词told,calmly意为“平静地”,故填calmly。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:在我们弃船之前,Shackleton平静地告诉我们要拯救我们最重要的物资,他扔掉了他所有的金子。句子描述过去的事情,谓语动词throw时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填threw。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他让Hussey留着他的班卓琴,这让我们很吃惊。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个主句的内容,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,因此用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。
【44题详解】
考查比较级。句意:我试着去想一些更快乐的事情。由上文“things were going from bad to worse”可知,此处表示“我试着去想一些更快乐的事情”,空格处意为“更快乐的”,是形容词比较级happier,作定语修饰名词things。故填happier。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:我很感激弗兰克和Ernest对他人的真诚关怀,他们的坚持不懈和决心让我充满了希望。fill sb. with sth.是固定短语,意为“使某人充满某物”,因此空格处用介词with,故填with。

Sympathy on the Farmers
At noon, a farmer is weeding,
Down the field, sweat is dripping,
Who knows rice on a dish,
Every grain is full of moiling?

【答案】 Here is a poem which is titled “Sympathy on the Farmers” by Li Shen in the Tang Dynasty. In the poem, we can learn a lot from the farmers as well as their hard work. Hot as it is outside at this summer noon time, the farmers are still working in the fields. They are sweating all over, and frequently their sweat falls into the soil, where the crops grow.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever there were some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that but for a sports meet. By mistake, my name was put on the list of the women’s 1,500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late. My deskmate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three events already.” Other girls of the class said the same.
I was dumbfounded (目瞪口呆). 1,500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare (恶梦) I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they said.
My deskmate patted me on the shoulder “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will train together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1,500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. Every afternoon after class, my deskmate ran beside me.
One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if to run beside me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could.

As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other runners passed me one by one. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. My deskmate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. Immediately, my classmates held my arms and all kinds of drinks were handed to me. I felt warm and moved. Even though I was almost the last to finish the race, I was confident I would improve in the future. That sports meet was unforgettable. The memory of my classmates cheering for me, holding my arms and handing me drinks stays fresh on my mind. I am no longer lonely and afraid. Sports are no longer about winning or losing. They have brought me close to my classmates and helped us grow together.
