FAMOUS CHINESE PAINTINGS, ARTISTIC TREASURES
With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.
Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi
The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.
Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang
During the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.
Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan
Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.
A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng
Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history.

The Lion King musical, a beast of a show captivating US audiences since 1997, has been staged all around the world. Central to its success was Julie Taymor, the theatre, film and opera director and designer whose unique vision helped the musical spring into life on stage — proving that theatrical versions of Disney movies could not only be hugely profitable, but could do so while being artistically innovative in their own right.
But when Disney initially approached her Taymor hadn’t actually seen The Lion King. “I thought, well, why not, let’s go look at the movie,” she recalls. “And I was really taken.” The challenge of adapting an epic, wide-screen story excited her: how, she recalls wondering, would you put hundreds of African grassland animals on stage?
The answer was by embracing a distinctly theatrical approach: masks and puppetry (木偶). “I went through every animal: okay, we’ve got a giraffe. I’ll put the puppet neck on top of the head of the dancer, but you’re going to see the dancer’s face…” remembers Taymor. Her designs allowed the audience to see the mechanics of how each character is made. “You can see Simba’s emotion on the actor’s face, while a mask on top of his head reminds you that this is, in fact, a lion. There is no attempt to hide the human being behind the masks or inside the puppet,” she says, a technique she called the “double event”.
“I wanted to do what theatre does best,” recalls Taymor. “Film hides the strings: we know it’s fake, but we’re pretending that it’s really there. Whereas in the theatre, we will enjoy seeing a little puppet of a boat, and a big ocean of silk… The audience is not played down to—they’re brought into the game.”
The how was a hit—and a new kind of musical was born.
4 What was key to the success of The Lion King musical?
A. Disney’s promotion plan. B. Taymor’s creative genius.
C. Disney’s movie technique. D. Taymor’s public reputation.
5. What challenge did Taymor face in adapting The Lion King?
A. How to decorate the stage. B. How to train various animals.
C. How to present the characters. D. How to mirror the original movie.
6. What can we learn about the “double event”?
A. It provided performers with confidence. B. It reduced the danger of animal presence.
C. It helped to distinguish humans from animals. D. It combined animal imagery with actor emotions.
7. What does Taymor appreciate most about theatre?
A. Its high-tech stage design. B. Its ever-changing story line.
C. Its open and engaging nature. D. Its loyal and appreciative audience.
C
It’s very common for students’ grades to experience a decline upon entering high school. Different teenagers deal with the newfound pressures differently, and while some tend to rise to the challenge, others can become overwhelmed (不知所措的) by stress. An interesting study conducted at The University of Texas has found that students’ views on learning and intelligence mindsets can make all the difference when it comes to fighting academic stress.
The research team set out to learn why some students overcame the stressful transition (过渡) into high school and some struggled to maintain their academic skills and standards. Their findings pointed to a direct relationship between a student’s learning mindset and their stress resilience, especially when grades begin to decline. More specifically, students’ learning mindsets were defined as whether they considered intelligence a fixed characteristic that everyone is born with, or a constantly growing one that can be improved over time.
In all, 499 ninth-graders from two public high schools in Texas were surveyed during their first term. Researchers assessed each student’s perceptions of intelligence, and asked each participant to fill out daily surveys on their academic stress levels. The results showed that 68% of students saw a decline in their grades during the first 12 weeks of high school. Those worsening grades, however, didn’t cause a higher stress response for everyone.
It turned out that worsening grades only caused greater stress responses in students who showed signs of a fixed intelligence mindset, while students with a growth mindset were able to bounce back much more quickly. Researchers theorize this is because these students are more active in solving academic issues, for example, by clarifying lessons with teachers after class if they don’t understand a particular topic.
“Declining grades may get ‘under the skin’ for high school students,” explains lead author Hae Yeon Lee. “But believing that intelligence can be developed or having what is called a growth mindset can reduce the effects of academic stress.”
8. What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. The feeling of being stressed. B. The state of being very intelligent.
C. The process of learning new things. D. The ability to recover from difficulties.
9. How did the researcher conduct the study?
A. By observational study in classroom settings. B. By experimental study with controlled variables.
C. By survey-based study with daily assessments. D. By case study focusing on individual students.
10. What can be inferred about students with a fixed intelligence mindset?
A. They are more likely to seek help from teachers.
B. They are less likely to experience academic stress.
C. They tend to give up easily when facing challenges.
D. They are more likely to improve their grades quickly.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Common Phenomenon of Grades Decline in High School
B. Ways to Improve High School Students’ Academic Performance
C. Fixed Intelligence: The Root of Worsening Grades for Students
D. Growth Mindset: A Key to Handling Academic Stress in High School
D
Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
12. The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.
A. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D. information about measles spreads quickly
13. Herd immunity works well when ____________.
A. exemptions are allowed
B. several vaccines are used together
C. the whole neighborhood is involved in
D. new regulations are added to the state laws
14. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A The overuse of vaccine.
B. The lack of medical care.
C. The features of measles itself.
D. The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
15. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea of exemption.
B. To discuss methods to cure measles.
C. To stress the importance of vaccination.
D. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

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。
Are you thinking about holidaying alone, but a bit concerned about the dangers? You needn’t worry if you consider these tips first.
1. Safety
Unless you positively invite danger — i.e. wandering around a dark park at 3 a.m. with headphones on — travelling alone isn’t actually that risky. ___16___ In the case of taking taxis, always keep a record of the plate number and ask for an estimated fare before setting off. You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up. And most importantly, ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them.
2. Plan
Being alone means you can’t use your partner’s phone when yours runs out of juice, or rely on them should you lose your wallet. ___17___ It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends, hotels and emergency services beforehand, and keep some back-up money in your bag, just in case.
3. Eating
Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone. ___18___ You can bring a book to avoid boredom, sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter.
4. Making friends
___19___ This is another common concern when travelling alone. In fact, acquiring new companions (伙伴) is easier than feared. You can smile at people, have open body language, read something interesting to start conversation, or ask strangers a question. All these help you look approachable. More hands-on tips include visiting bars, joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends.
5. Enjoy it
Without having to consider others’ needs, the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish: walk at your preferred pace, eat what and when you want, and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you. ___20___.
A. What if no one likes me on my trip?
B. The biggest danger is being taken for a ride.

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。
It was a regular day at the smartphone store. The usual crowd of customers came in, each with their own unique issues. My job was to help them all, whether it was something as simple as transferring contacts or as difficult as fixing a phone that wouldn’t turn on.
Then Joe appeared. He looked to be in his early 50s. His hair was slightly graying. He was practically running towards the counter, his eyes wide with panic.
“You need to give me a new phone!” Joe almost shouted. “This one you sold me a few days ago is broken! The photos in my phone are totally messed up!”
Joe’s urgency made me pay closer attention. “Let’s take a look at what’s going on,” I said. Joe thrust (塞) the phone into my hands, nearly dropping it.
“Look at this! Every picture is ruined!” He sounded out of breath. I opened the photo gallery, and sure enough, the selfies (自拍照) he’d taken were quite strange: His forehead was stretched, and his eyes were oddly wide. The pictures looked like something out of a funhouse mirror.
I started checking the settings, detecting there was a heavy filter (滤光器) turned on, which was distorting (扭曲) his face in every picture. “Sir, it’s actually a filter that’s causing the issue. Your phone isn’t broken; it’s just the settings. Resetting the settings of the camera will help.”
“But it’s digital! I didn’t mess with anything! My photos were fine when I took them,”he argued. “I need these pictures to be perfect! Please, just fix it,” his voice had softened, almost like he was begging now.
Then, almost in a whisper, he admitted, “I need these photos for a dating website.”Suddenly, it all made sense. This was not just any photo but was his shot at finding love. The thought of it going wrong had made him completely uneasy.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I showed him the results of my shots of him.

【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四幅中国知名画家的作品。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.(中国拥有数千年的连续历史,是世界上文化最独特的国家之一。几个世纪以来,中国艺术家创作的绘画作品如今在10亿多人心中流传。)”以及全文内容可知文章主要讲的是中国艺术家创作的绘画作品,所以文章最有可能出自一本和艺术相关的杂志。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi部分的“Later, Cao Zhi composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people.In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.(后来,曹植写了一首关于女神和普通人之间爱情的感人的诗。公元4世纪,中国艺术家顾恺之被这个故事所感动,并为这首诗配了插图。)”可知Nymph of the Luo River实际上是由顾恺之根据曹植的《洛神赋》所配的一幅画,所以B不对;根据Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang部分的“In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.(在他的画中,女士们站在那里,就像时装模特一样,但其中一人正在逗弄一只可爱的狗。)”可知Zhou Fang的画里面画的并不是时装模特,所以C不正确;根据Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan部分的“he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.(他描绘了汴京(今开封)人民的日常生活。)”可知Zhang Zeduan在《清明上河图》里面描述的并不是官员们的生活,而是普通老百姓的日常生活,所以D项不对;根据A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. (王希孟十七岁时就画了《千里江山图》。)”,可知王希孟在十几岁时就完成了他的大作,所以A正确。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature.(官员和学者不仅喜欢听音乐,他们也从描绘自然中找到乐趣。)”可知A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng可以让官员们享受到大自然的美景,所以如果你想欣赏大自然的美景,可以选择这幅画。故选B项。

It’s very common for students’ grades to experience a decline upon entering high school. Different teenagers deal with the newfound pressures differently, and while some tend to rise to the challenge, others can become overwhelmed (不知所措的) by stress. An interesting study conducted at The University of Texas has found that students’ views on learning and intelligence mindsets can make all the difference when it comes to fighting academic stress.
The research team set out to learn why some students overcame the stressful transition (过渡) into high school and some struggled to maintain their academic skills and standards. Their findings pointed to a direct relationship between a student’s learning mindset and their stress resilience, especially when grades begin to decline. More specifically, students’ learning mindsets were defined as whether they considered intelligence a fixed characteristic that everyone is born with, or a constantly growing one that can be improved over time.
In all, 499 ninth-graders from two public high schools in Texas were surveyed during their first term. Researchers assessed each student’s perceptions of intelligence, and asked each participant to fill out daily surveys on their academic stress levels. The results showed that 68% of students saw a decline in their grades during the first 12 weeks of high school. Those worsening grades, however, didn’t cause a higher stress response for everyone.
It turned out that worsening grades only caused greater stress responses in students who showed signs of a fixed intelligence mindset, while students with a growth mindset were able to bounce back much more quickly. Researchers theorize this is because these students are more active in solving academic issues, for example, by clarifying lessons with teachers after class if they don’t understand a particular topic.
“Declining grades may get ‘under the skin’ for high school students,” explains lead author Hae Yeon Lee. “But believing that intelligence can be developed or having what is called a growth mindset can reduce the effects of academic stress.”
8. What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. The feeling of being stressed. B. The state of being very intelligent.
C. The process of learning new things. D. The ability to recover from difficulties.
9. How did the researcher conduct the study?
A. By observational study in classroom settings. B. By experimental study with controlled variables.
C. By survey-based study with daily assessments. D. By case study focusing on individual students.
10. What can be inferred about students with a fixed intelligence mindset?
A. They are more likely to seek help from teachers.
B. They are less likely to experience academic stress.
C. They tend to give up easily when facing challenges.
D. They are more likely to improve their grades quickly.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Common Phenomenon of Grades Decline in High School
B. Ways to Improve High School Students’ Academic Performance
C. Fixed Intelligence: The Root of Worsening Grades for Students
D. Growth Mindset: A Key to Handling Academic Stress in High School
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究结果:高中生的压力往往取决于他们拥有何种思维模式。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“It’s very common for students’ grades to experience a decline upon entering high school. Different teenagers deal with the newfound pressures differently, and while some tend to rise to the challenge, others can become overwhelmed (不知所措的) by stress. An interesting study conducted at The University of Texas has found that students’ views on learning and intelligence mindsets can make all the difference when it comes to fighting academic stress.(进入高中后,学生的成绩下降是很常见的。不同的青少年处理新压力的方式不同,有些人倾向于迎接挑战,而另一些人则会被压力压垮。德克萨斯大学进行的一项有趣的研究发现,在对抗学业压力方面,学生对学习和智力思维的看法会产生很大的影响)”和第二段“The research team set out to learn why some students overcame the stressful transition (过渡) into high school and some struggled to maintain their academic skills and standards.(研究小组开始研究为什么有些学生克服了进入高中的压力,而有些学生则努力保持自己的学术技能和水平)”可知,文章讨论的背景是关于一些学生如何克服进入高中的压力过渡并保持其学习成绩。谈论的是学生的智力思维模式与学生在成绩下降时应对压力的能力之间的关系。“resilience”在这里指的是从困难(如成绩下降的压力)中迅速恢复的能力。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In all, 499 ninth-graders from two public high schools in Texas were surveyed during their first term. Researchers assessed each student’s perceptions of intelligence, and asked each participant to fill out daily surveys on their academic stress levels.(来自德克萨斯州两所公立高中的499名九年级学生在第一学期接受了调查。研究人员评估了每个学生对智力的看法,并要求每个参与者填写关于他们学业压力水平的每日调查)”可知,研究是基于调查的,并涉及每日评估。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“It turned out that worsening grades only caused greater stress responses in students who showed signs of a fixed intelligence mindset, while students with a growth mindset were able to bounce back much more quickly.(结果表明,成绩下降只会让表现出固定智力思维模式的学生产生更大的压力反应,而拥有成长型思维模式的学生则能够更快地恢复过来)”可推知,具有固定智力思维模式的学生可能在面对学术挑战时更加挣扎,并且更容易放弃。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章开篇指出学生进入高中成绩下降普遍,接着重点阐述了德克萨斯大学的研究发现,即学生的智力思维模式(成长型思维和固定型思维)对他们应对学业压力起着关键作用。拥有固定型思维的学生会产生更大的压力反应,而拥有成长型思维的学生在面对成绩下降时能更快恢复。结合最后一句“But believing that intelligence can be developed or having what is called a growth mindset can reduce the effects of academic stress.(但相信智力是可以发展的,或者拥有所谓的成长型心态,可以减少学业压力的影响)”总结归纳文章中心:成长型思维是应对高中学业压力的关键。故D选项“成长心态:处理高中学业压力的关键”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.
12. The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.
A. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend
B. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D. information about measles spreads quickly
13. Herd immunity works well when ____________.
A. exemptions are allowed
B. several vaccines are used together
C. the whole neighborhood is involved in
D. new regulations are added to the state laws
14. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A. The overuse of vaccine.
B. The lack of medical care.
C. The features of measles itself.
D The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
15. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea of exemption.
B. To discuss methods to cure measles.
C. To stress the importance of vaccination.
D. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.
【答案】12 A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。主要介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害,并解释了为什么会发生这样的情况。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害,以及为什么会有这样的情况,最根本原因还是那些不注射疫苗的人导致的,故本文的目的是强调疫苗的作用,选C。
【点睛】作者态度及写作意图推断
每一篇文章都会包含作者的某种观点和态度,只不过有的直截了当,有的含而不露,有的通过所用词语的褒贬来体现。此类题可细分为作者态度题(表明作者的好恶)和作者观点题(表明作者对某事物的看法)。准确把握作者的情感和态度,需要注意以下几点:
1.作者对某一事物的看法,要么支持,要么反对,带中立色彩的词最不可能是正确答案。
2.漠不关心类词语往往不对,既然写文章就不会不关心。
3.不要把自己的态度揉入其中,也要区分作者的态度和作者引用的别人的态度。
4.当作者的态度没有明确提出时,要学会根据作者使用词语的褒贬性来判断。
5.作者的观点一般与文章的主旨相关联。
6.绝对化或语气过于强烈的选项常常是错误的,如:strong, complete, entire等。
比如小题4考查文章的写作目的,本文主要介绍了麻疹在历史上带来的危害,以及为什么会有这样的情况,最根本原因还是那些不注射疫苗的人导致的,故本文的目的是强调疫苗的作用,故选C。
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。
Are you thinking about holidaying alone, but a bit concerned about the dangers? You needn’t worry if you consider these tips first.
1. Safety
Unless you positively invite danger — i.e. wandering around a dark park at 3 a.m. with headphones on — travelling alone isn’t actually that risky. ___16___ In the case of taking taxis, always keep a record of the plate number and ask for an estimated fare before setting off. You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up. And most importantly, ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them.
2. Plan
Being alone means you can’t use your partner’s phone when yours runs out of juice, or rely on them should you lose your wallet. ___17___ It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends, hotels and emergency services beforehand, and keep some back-up money in your bag, just in case.
3. Eating
Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone. ___18___ You can bring a book to avoid boredom, sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter.
4. Making friends
___19___ This is another common concern when travelling alone. In fact, acquiring new companions (伙伴) is easier than feared. You can smile at people, have open body language, read something interesting to start conversation, or ask strangers a question. All these help you look approachable. More hands-on tips include visiting bars, joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends.
5. Enjoy it
Without having to consider others’ needs, the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish: walk at your preferred pace, eat what and when you want, and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you. ___20___.
A. What if no one likes me on my trip?
B. The biggest danger is being taken for a ride.
C. It’s actually not so hard to get over your worry.
D You needn’t get into a panic if this really happens.
E. However well you plan in advance, things will go wrong.
F. Just appreciate your independence and enjoy that freedom.
G. So put emergency systems in place before starting your trip.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。你是否考虑过独自度假,但又有点担心危险?文章主要就独自旅行中常见的一些担忧提出了一些建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Unless you positively invite danger — i.e. wandering around a dark park at 3 a.m. with headphones on — travelling alone isn’t actually that risky.(除非你确实是自找麻烦——比如凌晨3点戴着耳机在黑暗的公园里闲逛——独自旅行其实并没有那么危险)”以及后文“In the case of taking taxis, always keep a record of the plate number and ask for an estimated fare before setting off. You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up. And most importantly, ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them.(在乘坐的士时,一定要记录车牌号码,并在出发前索要估计车费。你亦应随身携带身份证,并备存身份证。最重要的是,确保别人知道你的路线,并与他们保持定期联系)”可知,本段主要说明的是个人安全问题,上文提到独自旅行并没有那么危险,可知本句应当是在说明真正的危险是什么,故B选项“最大的危险是坐车被人骗了”符合语境,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends, hotels and emergency services beforehand, and keep some back-up money in your bag, just in case.(事先记下一些重要的朋友、酒店和应急服务机构的电话号码,并在包里备一些钱以防万一,这是个好主意)”可知,后文提到了旅行前一些以防万一的措施,可知是在出发前就要做好紧急措施,G选项中emergency对应后文中emergency。故G选项“所以在出发前要准备好应急措施”符合语境,故选G。

根据上文“Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone.(许多单身旅行者都害怕一个人吃饭)”以及后文“You can bring a book to avoid boredom, sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter.(你可以带本书来排解无聊,坐在柜台前让别人注意不到你,或者利用这个机会向服务员练习外语)”可知,上文提到害怕一个人吃饭,后文则提出了解决办法,可知要克服一个人吃饭的忧虑并不困难。故C选项“克服忧虑其实并不难”符合语境,故选C。
【19题详解】
根据后文“This is another common concern when travelling alone. In fact, acquiring new companions (伙伴) is easier than feared. You can smile at people, have open body language, read something interesting to start conversation, or ask strangers a question. All these help you look approachable. More hands-on tips include visiting bars, joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends.(这是独自旅行时另一个常见的问题。事实上,获得新伙伴比你担心的要容易。你可以对别人微笑,使用开放的肢体语言,读一些有趣的东西来开始对话,或者问陌生人一个问题。所有这些都会让你看起来平易近人。更多的实用技巧包括逛酒吧、参加旅行团或使用旨在帮助人们交朋友的应用程序)”可知,本段主要说明的是独自旅行时交朋友的问题,且后文提到了担心,说明本句是在说明担心旅行中没有人喜欢自己,交不到朋友。故A选项“如果在我的旅行中没有人喜欢我怎么办?”符合语境,故选A。
【20题详解】
根据小标题“Enjoy it(享受它)”以及上文“Without having to consider others’ needs, the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish: walk at your preferred pace, eat what and when you want, and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you.(不用考虑别人的需要,独自旅行的乐趣在于你可以完全自私:以你喜欢的步调行走,想吃什么就吃什么,去任何你想去的地方,去你感兴趣的景点)”可知,本段的建议是享受独自旅行,F选项中enjoy对应小标题中enjoy。故F选项“珍惜你的独立,享受这种自由”符合语境,故选F。

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。
It was a regular day at the smartphone store. The usual crowd of customers came in, each with their own unique issues. My job was to help them all, whether it was something as simple as transferring contacts or as difficult as fixing a phone that wouldn’t turn on.
Then Joe appeared. He looked to be in his early 50s. His hair was slightly graying. He was practically running towards the counter, his eyes wide with panic.
“You need to give me a new phone!” Joe almost shouted. “This one you sold me a few days ago is broken! The photos in my phone are totally messed up!”
Joe’s urgency made me pay closer attention. “Let’s take a look at what’s going on,” I said. Joe thrust (塞) the phone into my hands, nearly dropping it.
“Look at this! Every picture is ruined!” He sounded out of breath. I opened the photo gallery, and sure enough, the selfies (自拍照) he’d taken were quite strange: His forehead was stretched, and his eyes were oddly wide. The pictures looked like something out of a funhouse mirror.
I started checking the settings, detecting there was a heavy filter (滤光器) turned on, which was distorting (扭曲) his face in every picture. “Sir, it’s actually a filter that’s causing the issue. Your phone isn’t broken; it’s just the settings. Resetting the settings of the camera will help.”
“But it’s digital! I didn’t mess with anything! My photos were fine when I took them,”he argued. “I need these pictures to be perfect! Please, just fix it,” his voice had softened, almost like he was begging now.
Then, almost in a whisper, he admitted, “I need these photos for a dating website.”Suddenly, it all made sense. This was not just any photo but was his shot at finding love. The thought of it going wrong had made him completely uneasy.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I showed him the results of my shots of him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Realizing how much this meant to Joe, I knew I had to help him. I showed him how to reset the camera settings, making sure to turn off the filter that had been causing the distortion. I double-checked everything, wanting to be certain that this time the photos would come out just right. After completing the adjustment, I suggested Joe start fresh and take some new photos. He still looked tense, like he wasn’t sure this would work. I offered to help him take photos and guided him to pose decently. “Okay, just relax and give me a smile.” Joe forced a nervous but hopeful smile.
I showed him the results of my shots of him. Joe stared at the screen for a moment, and then, as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Those pictures were normal: His forehead wasn’t stretched, and his eyes looked like his own. He broke into a wide smile.“These are perfect!” he exclaimed, his voice filled with relief. “You really saved the day.”Then Joe left the store a different man, hopeful and ready to take his shot at finding love.Seeing him off, I sensed a smile spread across my face. Sometimes, the smallest gestures really do make the biggest difference.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者在智能手机店工作时的经历。一天,五十出头的乔惊慌失措地跑到店里,称几天前买的手机坏了,手机里的照片全乱了。作者检查后发现是相机设置了强滤光器导致照片扭曲变形,手机本身没问题,只需重置相机设置即可。但乔坚持说自己没动过设置,还表示这些照片是用于约会网站,对他很重要。作者意识到此事对乔意义重大,便帮他重置了相机设置,关掉了滤光器,还主动提出帮他拍照并指导他摆姿势。看到拍出来的正常照片后,乔如释重负,露出了开心的笑容,对作者表示感谢后满怀希望地离开了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“意识到这对乔的意义,我知道我必须帮助他。”可知,第一段可描写作者帮助乔找到原因并解决问题。
