But as a visitor to a new country, you may worry that you don’t know table manners when you eat out. Let’s look at common restaurant customs in the following countries. France In France, it is important to be on time for your restaurant booking. Greet the waiter politely; never shout loudly to get his attention. You should order your own main dish, as it’s considered impolite to share one dish. Although it is uncommon to take home leftovers (残羹剩饭), a new law requires that larger restaurants allow it if asked. Italy At a typical Italian restaurant, a waiter will seat you. It’s fine to share food, but don’t make any special requests when ordering a dish, like asking to add no onions. However, if you happen to have any dietary restrictions (饮食限制), they can usually meet your needs. Try to finish all your food and do not ask to take home leftovers. Thailand At a formal meal, it’s certain that you’ll be told where to sit. Get your waiter’s attention by waving your hand. Like Italian restaurants, sharing food is perfectly fine. If you’re with a group, the older women usually order dishes for the table. When you go to these countries armed with this knowledge. Then your trip will be full of delicious food and good table manners. 16. In which country should you NOT share your dish with others? A. France. B. Italy. C. Thailand. D. China. 17.

This helped people communicate with each other all over the outback (澳大利亚内陆地区). Alfred Traeger was born in Dimboola, Australia on 2nd August 1895. When he was twelve years old, Traeger made a telephone receiver. He was always interested in engineering, and his hobby was working with radios. John Flynn asked Traeger to invent a simple radio for the Flying Doctor Service. At the time, many people in the outback could not communicate with a hospital because they were far away from telephone lines. Traeger’s job was to develop a radio that was both a transmitter and a receiver, meaning it could both send a message and receive a message. The radio had to be small, easy to use and cheap enough for outback people to buy. Traeger carried out experiments and set up a small radio network connected to Alice Springs which is in the outback. Traeger also had to work out how to produce the power to run the radio. He developed a machine that was turned by hand, but the radio needed both hands to run it, too. He came up with a simple and cheap way. He used bicycle pedals to produce power, leaving the hands free. Pedal radios were used by the Flying Doctor Service, neighbors and friends who could now communicate socially, and the School of the Air, which brought education to children all over the world. 19. What did 12-year-old Traeger do? A. He visited the outback. B. He bought a new radio. C. He created a telephone receiver. D. He made friends with John Flynn. 20. Why couldn’t people in the outback communicate with hospitals? A. Their radios couldn’t send messages. B. They were unable to use telephones. C. They didn’t know hospitals’ numbers. D. Their telephones were often cut off. 21. What can we learn about the pedal radio? A. It was widely used. B. It saved much power. C. It was invented in 1907. D. It needed both hands to run. 22. What is the passage mainly about? A. What Alfred did in the Flying Doctor Service. B. What Alfred did to better pedal radios. C. How pedal radios helped the outback. D. How Alfred invented the pedal radio. 【答案】19. C 20. B 21. A 22.

Besides, it’s very easy to eat an entire bag of chips. But have you ever stopped and wondered exactly what happens to your body when you eat potato chips? Especially if you happen to eat a big bag every day? If you happen to enjoy eating potato chips every day, there’s a good chance you just might start putting on weight. One Harvard study found that the participants (参与者) who had potato chips as a part of their diets gained weight each year when they were assessed (评估). It’s no wonder that they’re on the list of snacks that are causing you to gain weight. Studies have shown that a high sodium (钠) intake is connected with a higher risk of high blood pressure. One of the main parts of potato chips is sodium. If you often eat potato chips, over time, you’re going to end up setting yourself up to develop high blood pressure. You could influence your risk of getting cancer. This seems a bit extreme. However, according to the American Cancer Society, potato chips have acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) which is created in high-starch (淀粉) foods when they’re cooked. There are studies on mice that connect acrylamide with cancer. And while you’re not a mouse, you wouldn’t want to eat something every single day that could be possibly increasing your risk of developing cancer. Think about all this, what should you do then? If you can just limit yourself to a small, snack-size bag of potato chips once in a while and not eat a full-size bag daily, then you’ll be just fine. 23. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Snacks. B. Potato chips. C. The participants. D. The participants’ diets. 24. Which of the following is NOT true? A. We should not eat potato chips too often. B. Acrylamide has something to do with cancer. C. Potato chips are most people’s first snack choice. D. Taking in too much sodium is harmful to our health. 25. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? (P= Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 26. In which part of a website can we probably read this passage? A. Science News. B. People & Nature. C. Healthy Eating. D. History & Culture. 【答案】23. C 24. C 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了吃薯片对健康的影响，并给出健康饮食的建议。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“One Harvard study found that the participants who had potato chips as a part of their diets gained weight each year when they were assessed.”可知，这里的“they” 指的是前面提到的“the participants (参与者)”，故选C。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“if you can just limit yourself to a small, snack-size bag of potato chips once in a while and not eat a full-size bag daily, then you’ll be just fine.” 可知，不能经常吃薯片，选项A正确；根据“There are studies on mice that connect acrylamide with cancer.”可知，丙烯酰胺与癌症有关，选项B正确；根据“Studies have shown that a high sodium intake is connected with a higher risk of high blood pressure.” 可知，摄入过多钠对健康有害，选项D正确；根据“when the idea of a snack food comes to mind, there’s a good chance you soon think of a bag of potato chips.”可知，不能得出薯片是大多数人首选零食的结论，故选C。 【25题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段引出话题；第二、三、四段分别从增重、高血压、癌症三个方面阐述吃薯片的危害；最后一段总结并给出建议。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了吃薯片对健康的影响，并给出健康饮食的建议，所以最有可能出现在 “健康饮食” 板块，故选C。 D Environmentalists now believe more than 10 times the amount (数量) of plastic is polluting the world’s oceans than it is thought before. Estimates (估计) had been made with the waste in coastal areas before. The old estimates said between 19 million and 52 million tons of plastic had been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean between 1950 and 2015. The new measurement (测量) found there were between 13 million and 23 million tons of quite small plastic particles (颗粒) —called microplastics—in the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean. That shows that there could be around 220 million tons of plastic pollution in the full depth of the ocean. Katsiaryna Pabortsava was the leader of the study. She told the Guardian newspaper, “Our key finding is that there are quite a lot of very, very small microplastic particles in the upper Atlantic Ocean, much higher than the old estimate. The amount of plastic has been greatly underestimated (低估).” She called on the government to think about what can be done to stop plastics making their way into the world’s oceans. She said research is needed into the ways those plastics take into our oceans, where they remain for years as they break down into smaller and smaller particles. Earlier research published in April showed microplastics are being found in an increasingly large amount on the seabed. And a study in May showed the amount of microplastics in the oceans has likely been underestimated in the past. A study published in July said the amount of plastic making its way into oceans will likely be three times as large as it is now in the next 20 years, if things keep going on like this. Science Daily noted that the measurements in the latest study were only of the world’s three most common kinds of plastic so the amount would likely be even larger if other kinds of plastics are measured. 27. How many tons of plastic were in the Atlantic ocean according to the old estimates? A. Around 220 million tons. B. Around 660 million tons. C. Between 13 million and 23 million tons. D. Between 19 million and 52 million tons. 28. What’s Katsiaryna Pabortsava’s attitude (态度) toward the plastics in the ocean? A. Happy. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Angry. 29. The study published in July suggested that ______. A. the problem of microplastics in sea was underestimated B. more and more microplastics are being found on the seabed C. it takes many years for plastics to break down into microplastics D. the issue of plastic in sea will be worse if nothing is done to stop it 30. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Ocean plastics. B. Air pollution. C. Ocean exploration. D. Environmental protectors. 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. D 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海洋塑料污染的相关情况，包括新的测量数据显示海洋塑料污染量被低估，以及不同研究对海洋微塑料污染现状和趋势的分析。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The old estimates said between 19 million and 52 million tons of plastic had been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean between 1950 and 2015.”可知，旧估计中大西洋的塑料量在1900万到5200万吨之间。故选D。 【28题详解】 观点态度题。根据“She called on the government to think about what can be done to stop plastics making way into the world’s oceans.”可知，Katsiaryna Pabortsava呼吁政府采取措施阻止塑料进入海洋，可推知她对海洋塑料问题感到担忧。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A study published in July said the amount of plastic making its way into oceans will likely be three times as large as it is now in the next 20 years, if things keep going on like this.”可知，如果不采取措施阻止，未来20年进入海洋的塑料量将是现在的三倍，即海洋塑料问题会更严重。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕海洋塑料污染展开，讲述了污染量的估计、现状及趋势等内容，主要谈论的是海洋塑料。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共45分） 三、词汇运用（共10小题，计10分） 根据首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31.

In 1994, she went on a vacation to Grand Bahama and fell in love with both diving and the island. So she decided to make Bahama her home and make diving her life. Cristina learned to feed sharks when she was a child. In 1996, she became a shark feeder trainer. She created a course that educated divers about the beauty of sharks and the need to protect them and their environment. Through the “shark feeder course”, she has created more shark lovers. Cristina is talented in communicating with sharks. With just a touch on a shark’s head and face, she can lead it into a state of sleep for 15 minutes. Cristina’s special talent has been used to study shark behavior by scientists. It also helps to save sharks. Cristina still remembers clearly the first time she managed to take out a huge hook(钓钩) from a tiger shark’s mouth. Up to now, she has taken out hundreds of hooks and fishing lines from shark mouths and skin without hurting them. Her work has saved many sharks from possible death. Cristina has received many prizes and honors for her great work in shark research and protection. She also acted in several films including “Saving the Sharks” by the BBC.

But as a visitor to a new country, you may worry that you don’t know table manners when you eat out. Let’s look at common restaurant customs in the following countries. France In France it is important to be on time for your restaurant booking. Greet the waiter politely; never shout loudly to get his attention. You should order your own main dish, as it’s considered impolite to share one dish. Although it is uncommon to take home leftovers (残羹剩饭), a new law requires that larger restaurants allow it if asked. Italy At a typical Italian restaurant, a waiter will seat you. It’s fine to share food, but don’t make any special requests when ordering a dish, like asking to add no onions. However, if you happen to have any dietary restrictions (饮食限制), they can usually meet your needs. Try to finish all your food and do not ask to take home leftovers. Thailand At a formal meal, it’s certain that you’ll be told where to sit. Get your waiter’s attention by waving your hand. Like Italian restaurants, sharing food is perfectly fine. If you’re with a group, the older women usually order dishes for the table. When you go to these countries, armed with this knowledge. Then your trip will be full of delicious food and good table manners. 16. In which country should you NOT share your dish with others? A. France. B. Italy. C. Thailand. D. China. 17. Which of the following is TRUE? A. It’s common to take home leftovers in Italy. B. It’s polite to shout loudly at the waiter in France. C. In France, you can shout loudly to show you are kind to others. D. In Thailand, it’s up to the older women to decide dishes in a group. 18. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Eat like this B. What you can eat C. Speak to a waiter this way D. How to be welcomed B Alfred Traeger was an engineer who invented the pedal (踏板) radio for the Flying Doctor Service. This helped people communicate with each other all over the outback (澳大利亚内陆地区). Alfred Traeger was born in Dimboola, Australia on 2nd August 1895. When he was twelve years old, Traeger made a telephone receiver. He was always interested in engineering, and his hobby was working with radios. John Flynn asked Traeger to invent a simple radio for the Flying Doctor Service. At the time, many people in the outback could not communicate with a hospital because they were far away from telephone lines. Traeger’s job was to develop a radio that was both a transmitter and a receiver meaning it could both send a message and receive a message. The radio had to be small, easy to use and cheap enough for outback people to buy. Traeger carried out experiments and set up a small radio network connected to Alice Springs which is in the outback. Traeger also had to work out how to produce the power to run the radio. He developed a machine that was turned by hand, but the radio needed both hands to run it, too. He came up with a simple and cheap way. He used bicycle pedals to produce power, leaving the hands free. Pedal radios were used by the Flying Doctor Service, neighbors and friends who could now communicate socially, and the School of the Air, which brought education to children all over the world. 19. What did 12-year-old Traeger do? A. He visited the outback. B. He bought a new radio. C. He created a telephone receiver. D. He made friends with John Flynn. 20. Why couldn’t people in the outback communicate with hospitals? A. Their radios couldn’t send messages. B. They were unable to use telephones. C. They didn’t know hospitals’ numbers. D. Their telephones were often cut off. 21. What can we learn about the pedal radio? A. It was widely used. B. It saved much power. C. It was invented in 1907. D. It needed both hands to run. 22. What is the passage mainly about? A. What Alfred did in the Flying Doctor Service. B. What Alfred did to better pedal radios. C. How pedal radios helped the outback. D. How Alfred invented the pedal radio. C When the idea of a snack food comes to mind, there’s a good chance you soon think of a bag of potato chips. Besides, it’s very easy to eat an entire bag of chips. But have you ever stopped and wondered exactly what happens to your body when you eat potato chips? Especially if you happen to eat a big bag every day? If you happen to enjoy eating potato chips every day, there’s a good chance you just might start putting on weight. One Harvard study found that the participants (参与者) who had potato chips as a part of their diets gained weight each year when they were assessed (评估). It’s no wonder that they’re on the list of snacks that are causing you to gain weight. Studies have shown that a high sodium (钠) intake is connected with a higher risk of high blood pressure. One of the main parts of potato chips is sodium. If you often eat potato chips, over time, you’re going to end up setting yourself up to develop high blood pressure. You could influence your risk of getting cancer. This seems a bit extreme. However, according to the American Cancer Society, potato chips have acrylamide (丙烯酰胺) which is created in high-starch (淀粉) foods when they’re cooked. There are studies on mice that connect acrylamide with cancer. And while you’re not a mouse, you wouldn’t want to eat something every single day that could be possibly increasing your risk of developing cancer. Think about all this, what should you do then? If you can just limit yourself to a small, snack-size bag of potato chips once in a while and not eat a full-size bag daily, then you’ll be just fine. 23. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Snacks. B. Potato chips. C. The participants. D. The participants’ diets. 24. Which of the following is NOT true? A. We should not eat potato chips too often. B. Acrylamide has something to do with cancer. C. Potato chips are most people’s first snack choice. D. Taking in too much sodium is harmful to our health. 25. Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? (P= Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 26. In which part of a website can we probably read this passage? A. Science News. B. People & Nature. C. Healthy Eating. D. History & Culture. D Environmentalists now believe more than 10 times the amount (数量) of plastic is polluting the world’s oceans than it is thought before Estimates (估计) had been made with the waste in coastal areas before The old estimates said between 19 million and 52 million tons of plastic had been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean between 1950 and 2015. The new measurement (测量) found there were between 13 million and 23 million tons of quite small plastic particles (颗粒) —called microplastics—in the top 200 meters of the Atlantic Ocean. That shows that there could be around 220 million tons of plastic pollution in the full depth of the ocean. Katsiaryna Pabortsava was the leader of the study. She told the Guardian newspaper, “Our key finding is that there are quite a lot of very, very small microplastic particles in the upper Atlantic Ocean, much higher than the old estimate. The amount of plastic has been greatly underestimated (低估).” She called on the government to think about what can be done to stop plastics making their way into the world’s oceans. She said research is needed into the ways those plastics take into our oceans, where they remain for years as they break down into smaller and smaller particles. Earlier research published in April showed microplastics are being found in an increasingly large amount on the seabed. And a study in May showed the amount of microplastics in the oceans has likely been underestimated in the past. A study published in July said the amount of plastic making its way into oceans will likely be three times as large as it is now in the next 20 years, if things keep going on like this. Science Daily noted that the measurements in the latest study were only of the world’s three most common kinds of plastic so the amount would likely be even larger if other kinds of plastics are measured. 27. How many tons of plastic were in the Atlantic ocean according to the old estimates? A. Around 220 million tons. B. Around 660 million tons. C. Between 13 million and 23 million tons. D. Between 19 million and 52 million tons. 28. What’s Katsiaryna Pabortsava’s attitude (态度) toward the plastics in the ocean? A. Happy. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Angry. 29. The study published in July suggested that ______. A. the problem of microplastics in sea was underestimated B. more and more microplastics are being found on the seabed C. it takes many years for plastics to break down into microplastics D. the issue of plastic in sea will be worse if nothing is done to stop it 30. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Ocean plastics. B. Air pollution. C. Ocean exploration. D. Environmental protectors. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共45分） 三、词汇运用（共10小题，计10分） 根据首字母或汉语提示，在答题卡上写出下列句子中单词的完全形式。 31.
