It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery. The Italian painter used oil on board to draw his self-portrait, which was the clearest and the most recognizable self-portrait of Raphael himself. Leonardo da Vinci — “Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512 “Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk” is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance portraits. Rembrandt van Rijn — “Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar”, 1659 Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913. Edgar Degas — “Degas Au Porte-Fusain”, 1855 Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d’Orsay, Paris, France. 1. Where should visitors go if they want to admire Raphael’s self-portrait in 1506? A. Biblioteca Reale. B. Uffizi Gallery. C. The musée d’Orsay. D. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 2. Which aspect of Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk was special during the Renaissance? A. The long hair. B. The formal pose. C. The red clothing. D. The worried expression. 3. Which painter was the youngest when painting the above-mentioned self-portraits? A. Raphael. B. Leonardo da Vinci. C. Edgar Degas. D. Rembrandt van Rijn. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四幅著名艺术家们的自画像。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino) — “Self-Portrait”, 1506部分中“It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery.(它的尺寸约为45cm×33cm，位于世界著名的乌菲齐美术馆)”可知，如果游客想欣赏拉斐尔1506年的自画像，可以去乌菲齐美术馆。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Leonardo da Vinci — “Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk”, 1512部分中“In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance portraits.(在这幅画中，头发的长度在文艺复兴时期的肖像画中是罕见的)”可知，文艺复兴时期的《红粉笔画的男人肖像》的特别之处在于画像中人的长头发。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)部分中“One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23.(著名画家拉斐尔的一幅美丽的自画像是他23岁时画的)”、Leonardo da Vinci部分中“‘Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk’ is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60(《红粉笔画的男人肖像》是da Vinci 60岁时的自画像)”、Rembrandt van Rijn部分中“Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old.(1659年，荷兰画家Rembrandt van Rijn在53岁时画了这幅自画像)”以及Edgar Degas部分中“Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old.(Edgar Degas在21岁时才画了这幅自画像)”可知，在画自己的肖像画时，Edgar Degas 21岁时画了这幅自画像，是四个画家中最年轻的。故选C。 B On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home, gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore. The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied. 4. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash? A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised. 5. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. The plane had sunk to the bottom. B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death. C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D. The rescue was tougher than expected. 6. Why did Gelinne need help? A. Because his son didn’t help him. B. Because the kayaks were broken. C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough. D. Because the pilot was too exhausted. 7. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A. Honest and independent. B. Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述一位60岁的老人Gelinne，在 12月26 日，冒着严寒，克服困难去救由于飞机失事而落入水中的飞行员Steve 的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑到水边，所以推知是担心的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. (皮划艇的桨太弱了，所以两人试着用棍子推动小船。他们的第一次尝试让他们在原地打转。但是经过努力，他们取得了进步。)”可知，救助过程非常比预想的要困难。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help.(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”领航员抓住皮艇的船头。Gelinne知道他必须把飞行员弄到没有破冰的架子上。但每次杰琳尝试，皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助)”可知，因为冰不够坚固，导致皮划艇都破冰而出。他需要帮助。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。推理判断题。根据第二段“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront.(当飞机消失在树后时，曾经当过水手的杰琳意识到它将降落在河中。他毫不犹豫地跑到水边)”可知，他一看到飞机降落在河中，就毫不犹豫地跑到水边去救人，所以他是热于助人的，以及第五段“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.”(儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像拥抱你的妻子一样，紧紧抓住皮艇。”)”可推知Gelinne 是个幽默的人，所以Gelinne是乐于助人又幽默的。故选C项。 C There are too many fat people in America, so many Americans are fighting against overweight. But the strange thing is that the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin. Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plates are empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity(肥胖)among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing. 8. Americans struggle with watching their weight mainly because ______. A. they prefer to consume rich food. B. they only buy food in huge supermarkets. C. they desire to be as slim as TV stars. D. they fail to stop eating even if they are full. 9. What can we learn from Dr. Joseph Mercola in paragraph 2? A. Frenchmen place too much importance on eating. B. Frenchmen have a smaller appetite for food. C. Americans like to buy food in big supermarkets. D. Americans have no interest for fruits and vegetables. 10. How does the author present his ideas in the text? A. By giving examples. B. By providing explanations. C. By making comparison. D. By listing figures. 11. What does the text focus on? A. Americans and Frenchmen. B. Lifestyle and obesity. C. Diet and personalities. D. Fast food and overweight. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过比较美国人和法国人的饮食习惯来表达了生活方式影响体重的观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. (Mercola认为，美国人在吃饱的时候失去了感知能力。所以在法国人停止进食很久之后，他们还在继续进食。)”可知，美国人很难控制他们的体重，主要是因为他们吃饱了也停不下来。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. (此外，他指出，美国人开车去大型超市购买一周所需的罐装和冷冻食品。)”可知，美国人喜欢在大超市购买食物。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plates are empty or their favorite TV show is over. (研究人员得出结论，法国人在感到饱的时候往往会停止进食。然而，美国人往往会在他们的盘子空了或他们最喜欢的电视节目结束时停下来。)”以及文章其他内容可知，作者在文中是通过比较美国人和法国人的饮食习惯来表达他的观点的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. (康奈尔大学的一项研究表明，生活方式和饮食习惯可能会影响体重。)”可知，文章的重点讲述了生活方式对肥胖的影响。故选B项。 D Scientists agree glacial melting (冰山的融化) is linked to climate change caused by human activity. Each year in the Swiss Alps, a group of residents (居民) makes its way to the Rhône Glacier to cover up the ice in huge white blankets that reflect the sun to prevent melting. The blankets might seem like a quick fix, but they could reduce seasonal melting by up to 70 percent. The residents near the Swiss glacier have used the blankets every summer for the last eight years. It’s a popular tourist destination, but the ice has been melting over the last 10 years. About 131 feet of the roughly 5-mile-long glacier have disappeared in that time. And it’s not the only effort to stop or slow glacial melting. Scientists are now proposing higher-tech solutions to further slow the impact of global warming on glacial ice around the world. One idea is to build mounds (土石堆) of sand and stone underwater at the mouth of at-risk glaciers near the sea, such as Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic. The walls, which would stretch (延伸) for miles on the seafloor, would slow or prevent their collapse. Robinson Meyer explained that if these mounds work, glaciers that would otherwise collapse in 100 years could last for another millennium (千年). The proposal would not only protect the glacier but also hold off sea-level rise by preventing the meltwater from entering the ocean. Last year, another group of scientists came up with a plan to cover a part of glaciers in the Swiss Alps with artificial (人工的) snow. The idea was a higher-tech version of the huge blankets; both the blankets and the snow reflect the sun rather than absorbing it. Unlike the use of blankets to protect ice, these ideas are still hypothetical (假设的). So whether these fixes have any real potential on a large, real-life scale remains to be seen. 12. What do we know about the white blanket way according to the text? A. Effective but quick. B. Convenient but costly. C. Approachable but fancy. D. Adaptive but impractical. 13. How would scientists protect Thwaites Glacier? A. Prevent sea water from covering up glaciers. B. Apply new technology to reducing global warming. C. Build walls at the meeting point of the glacier and the sea. D. Expand seashore and seafloor around and in the Antarctic. 14. How many ways to slow glaciers melting are introduced in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 15. What can we infer in the last paragraph? A. Artificial snow can absorb more sunlight. B. These strategies have been put into practical use. C. New technology could cause more glaciers melting. D. The blankets and snow fixes are based on a similar rule. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们为防止或减缓冰川融化所做出的努力，包括使用巨大白色毯子覆盖冰川、在海底建造土石堆以减缓冰川崩塌的影响，以及提出用人工雪覆盖冰川等方案。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The blankets might seem like a quick fix, but they could reduce seasonal melting by up to 70 percent. (这些毯子看起来可能是一个权宜之计，但它们可以减少多达70%的季节性融化)”可知，白色毯子方法虽然看起来是一个权宜之计，但却非常有效，能大幅减少冰川的季节性融化。因此，我们知道到白色毯子的方式“有效且快速”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One idea is to build mounds (土石堆) of sand and stone underwater at the mouth of at-risk glaciers near the sea, such as Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic. The walls, which would stretch (延伸) for miles on the seafloor, would slow or prevent their collapse. (一个想法是在海边处于危险中的冰川口，如南极的思韦茨冰川，在水下建造沙石堆。这些墙将在海底延伸数英里，以减缓或防止冰川崩塌)”可知，科学家们计划在思韦茨冰川与海洋的交汇处建造一堵墙，以减缓或防止其崩塌。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。通读全文，根据第一段中的“Each year in the Swiss Alps, a group of residents (居民) makes its way to the Rhône Glacier to cover up the ice in huge white blankets that reflect the sun to prevent melting.(每年，在瑞士阿尔卑斯山，一群居民都会前往Rhône冰川，用巨大的白色毯子覆盖冰层，反射阳光以防止融化)”；第三段中的“One idea is to build mounds (土石堆) of sand and stone underwater at the mouth of at-risk glaciers near the sea (一个想法是在海边处于危险中的冰川口，在水下建造沙石堆)”和最后一段中的“Last year, another group of scientists came up with a plan to cover a part of glaciers in the Swiss Alps with artificial (人工的) snow (去年，另一组科学家提出了一个计划，用人工雪覆盖瑞士阿尔卑斯山部分冰川)”可知，文中共介绍了三种减缓冰川融化的方法：用巨大白色毯子覆盖冰川、在海底建造土石堆以减缓冰川崩塌的影响和用人工雪覆盖冰川。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The idea was a higher-tech version of the huge blankets; both the blankets and the snow reflect the sun rather than absorbing it. (这个想法是巨大毯子的高科技版本；毯子和雪都反射太阳而不是吸收它)”可知，无论是用毯子还是用雪，其原理都是反射阳光，而不是吸收阳光，从而减少冰川的融化。由此可推断出，毯子和雪的修复方法是基于相似的原理。故选D项。 第二节（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making the Most of Your Study Abroad Experience You’re incredibly excited to study abroad and to experience a new culture.

She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me? No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering(结巴). Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise. I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave? If only there was a way to prove myself... Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard. “Minute to say it?” I read the poster out loud. It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy (小奖杯). Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated? I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright. 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。 The big day finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next, it was Asta’s turn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The big day finally arrived. Many students were backstage, all nervous and anxious. Time seemed to pass very quickly as the first few contestants made their way to the stage. Soon enough, it was my turn. As I walked up the stage unsteadily, my legs turned to jelly. “This… is…is… my…” I began. “No! No more stammering. I can do this!” I told myself. With forty seconds left, I went through the rest of my speech fluently. The moment the stopwatch clicked stop, I sighed a huge sigh of relief. Next, it was Asta’s turn. Her speech was so brilliant that even I was attracted! Later, at the prize ceremony, Asta was made champion while I got second place. Although I did not win the championship, I was more than happy to come in second. At least I had something to take home to show my parents. Hmmm… Come to think of it…Maybe overcoming my fear was not so bad after all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者十分羡慕好友阿斯塔在公共场合能自信流利地演讲，而自己却会结巴，作者看到海报上有一场演讲比赛，觉得这是自己克服怯场的最好机会，想要证明自己，于是和阿斯塔一起报名参加了比赛，在比赛中作者克服了结巴，完成了演讲，阿斯塔获得第一，作者获得第二，但是她很开心，终于克服了怯场的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一重大日子终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加演讲，克服怯场。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来，轮到阿斯塔了。”可知，第二段可描写阿斯塔演讲的经过和比赛结果及最终作者很高兴克服了怯场。 2.续写线索：比赛日到来——作者演讲——克服结巴——完成演讲——阿斯塔完美演讲——比赛结果——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走：walk/step/trod ②告诉/提醒：tell/remind 情绪类 ①放松：relief/easiness ②高兴：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Edgar Degas — “Degas Au Porte-Fusain”, 1855 Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits.

B On Dec.26, Gelinne was having a cup of coffee at home, gazing out at frozen Beards River. Suddenly, his daughter cried “Look!” Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, coming down. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former sailor, realized it would land in the river. Without hesitation, he ran down to the waterfront. The plane had slid to a stop on the broad, frozen river, far from shore, sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his previous training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John, pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out. “If it can float on the water, it can slide on the ice,” Gelinne said. The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too weak, so the pair tried using sticks to push the boats along. Their first attempts left them spinning in circles. But with effort, they made progress. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I fall over?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the kayak as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot onto the shelf of unbroken ice. But each time Gelinne tried, the kayak broke through the ice. He needed help. Soon a police officer arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the local Department of Natural Resources appeared. It picked up the pilot, Steve 71, and rushed him to safety, who would be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, exhausted, to shore. The boat had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied. 4. What was Gelinne’s first reaction to the air crash? A. Hesitant. B. Concerned. C. Scared. D. Surprised. 5. What can be learned from paragraph 4? A. The plane had sunk to the bottom. B. The pilot was nearly frozen to death. C. The kayaks got stuck in floating ice. D. The rescue was tougher than expected. 6. Why did Gelinne need help? A. Because his son didn’t help him. B. Because the kayaks were broken. C. Because the ice wasn’t solid enough. D. Because the pilot was too exhausted. 7. Which of the following can best describe Gelinne? A. Honest and independent. B. Modest and intelligent. C. Helpful and humorous. D. Generous and cautious. C There are too many fat people in America, so many Americans are fighting against overweight. But the strange thing is that the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin. Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plates are empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity(肥胖)among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing. 8. Americans struggle with watching their weight mainly because ______. A. they prefer to consume rich food. B. they only buy food in huge supermarkets. C. they desire to be as slim as TV stars. D. they fail to stop eating even if they are full. 9. What can we learn from Dr. Joseph Mercola in paragraph 2? A. Frenchmen place too much importance on eating. B. Frenchmen have a smaller appetite for food. C. Americans like to buy food in big supermarkets. D. Americans have no interest for fruits and vegetables. 10. How does the author present his ideas in the text? A. By giving examples. B. By providing explanations. C. By making comparison. D. By listing figures. 11. What does the text focus on? A. Americans and Frenchmen. B. Lifestyle and obesity. C. Diet and personalities. D. Fast food and overweight. D Scientists agree glacial melting (冰山的融化) is linked to climate change caused by human activity. Each year in the Swiss Alps, a group of residents (居民) makes its way to the Rhône Glacier to cover up the ice in huge white blankets that reflect the sun to prevent melting. The blankets might seem like a quick fix, but they could reduce seasonal melting by up to 70 percent. The residents near the Swiss glacier have used the blankets every summer for the last eight years. It’s a popular tourist destination, but the ice has been melting over the last 10 years. About 131 feet of the roughly 5-mile-long glacier have disappeared in that time. And it’s not the only effort to stop or slow glacial melting. Scientists are now proposing higher-tech solutions to further slow the impact of global warming on glacial ice around the world. One idea is to build mounds (土石堆) of sand and stone underwater at the mouth of at-risk glaciers near the sea, such as Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic. The walls, which would stretch (延伸) for miles on the seafloor, would slow or prevent their collapse. Robinson Meyer explained that if these mounds work, glaciers that would otherwise collapse in 100 years could last for another millennium (千年). The proposal would not only protect the glacier but also hold off sea-level rise by preventing the meltwater from entering the ocean. Last year, another group of scientists came up with a plan to cover a part of glaciers in the Swiss Alps with artificial (人工的) snow. The idea was a higher-tech version of the huge blankets; both the blankets and the snow reflect the sun rather than absorbing it. Unlike the use of blankets to protect ice, these ideas are still hypothetical (假设的). So whether these fixes have any real potential on a large, real-life scale remains to be seen. 12.

She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me? No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering(结巴). Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise. I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave? If only there was a way to prove myself... Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard. “Minute to say it?” I read the poster out loud. It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy (小奖杯). Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated? I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright. 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。 The big day finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next, it was Asta’s turn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
