Go back in time, Chichester, West Sussex Anybody who wants to see, touch and even smell what life was like in ancient times should head to the Weald and Downland Living Museum — a museum with rural buildings ranging from early medieval England to the Victorian Age, and a multisensory, living presentation. There are also farm animals to visit, a wood and playground to burn off energy, and traditional games in one big house if it rains. Family ticket: £42. 1.

B Tai Chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese martial art, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it’s good for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension. Prehypertension is blood pressure that’s higher than normal but doesn’t quite reach the level of high blood pressure. It’s considered a warning sign that heart disease may be ahead, and it raises the risk of having a heart attack. The new findings, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, add to a large body of research pointing to health benefits from Tai Chi, a wellness practice that combines slow, gentle movements and postures with mindfulness. In the study, researchers in China randomly assigned 342 adults with prehypertension to one of two interventions. Roughly half the people participated in exercises, including jogging, climbing stairs, brisk walking and cycling. The other half was trained to practice TaiChi. Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week. After 12 months, those in the Tai Chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure. “Tai Chi kind of helps to just relax everything, and I think it’s that response that’s working towards lowering blood pressure,” says professor Taylor-Pillie, whose research focuses on how mind-body interventions such as Tai Chi can benefit older adults. She notes a large body of evidence has now shown the benefits of Tai Chi on blood pressure. The practice is appealing as a form of exercise because it is low impact and requires little space or equipment. “I think the beauty of Tai Chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership and you don’t have to have special clothing,” Taylor-Pillie says. “Once you learn Tai Chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does kind of provide that calming, relaxing effect.” Studies have also shown that practicing Tai Chi has many other benefits: help reduce the risk of falls, improve balance in older adults, protect against cognitive decline, and so on. But you have to practice it consistently to reap the most benefit. 4. What does “prehypertension” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The potential risk of heart attack. B. The possible outbreak of heart disease. C. The state of certain kind of blood pressure. D. The clinic symptoms of high blood pressure. 5. What’s the purpose of the research? A. To prove previous studies. B. To examine the appeal of Tai Chi C. To determine the benefits of Tai Chi. D. To find a solution to high blood pressure. 6. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Tui Chi has no impact on body and health. B. We need special facility to practice Tai Chi C. Anyone who practices Tai Chi can achieve the most benefit. D. The calming effect of Tai Chi helps reduce blood pressure. 7. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Tai Chi-A Relief to Prehypertension B. Tai Chi-A Cure for High Blood Pressure C. Tai Chi-A Wellness Practice Worth Researching D. Tai Chi-A Traditional Chinese Martial Art C Shortly after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri county in Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region on Jan 7, Air China, the nation’s flag carrier, took action to supply necessary airlift assistance, ensuring that key personnel and supplies quickly reached the most heavily affected areas. About five and a half hours after the earthquake, Air China’s CA4431 flight landed at Dingri Airport. It was the first flight to arrive in the county after the disaster (灾害) , carrying relief (救济) personnel and supplies. Over the following two days, the airline continued its support by transporting rescue teams and relief supplies, including medicine, to the disaster zone and its vicinity. On the morning of Jan 8, a disaster relief flight, CA049, flew 42 airport support personnel from Lhasa, the capital city of the Xizang autonomous region, to Dingri to provide support for rescue operations. Later that day, in response to a request from the China Foundation for Rural Development to transport disaster relief supplies, Air China established a green channel for the task and worked overnight to organize operations and adjust aircraft capacity (能力) . On Jan 9, flight CA4401 transported 6 metric tons of tents provided by the foundation from Chengdu, the capital city of Southwest China’s Sichuan province, to Lhasa. The tents were handed over to the local government upon arrival and then sent to the disaster-stricken area. Air China immediately started its emergency response plan and set up a task force concentrating on relief efforts following the earthquake. The task force focused on arranging rescue flights, managing flight changes and cancellations, and preparing critical supplies such as meals and oxygen bottles, according to the company. The airline increased its capacity for transporting relief supplies by using larger aircraft. Additionally, special policies were introduced for flights to the Xizang autonomous region, and relevant information was made available on the airline’s official website, mobile application, and WeChat mini-program. The earthquake hit Dingri county at 9:05 am on Jan 7 from a depth of 10kilometers. 8. What does the underlined word “vicinity” in the second paragraph mean? A. The safe areas. B. The surrounding areas. C. The central areas. D. The shopping areas. 9. What did flight CA4401 send to the region hit by the earthquake? A. Some medicine. B. Some oxygen bottles. C. A large number of tents. D. A large quantity of food supplies. 10. How did Air China improve its capacity for carrying relief goods? A. By sending bigger airplanes. B. By making use of more helicopters. C. By using airports closer to the region for takeoff. D. By arranging for airplanes to fly to the region more frequently. 11. What can be the best title for the news report? A. 6.8-magnitude earthquake strikes Dingri county B. Air China introduces policies for flights to Xizang C. Relief efforts strengthened by Air China’s support D. First flight arrives in Dingri country after earthquake D People, especially women, have begun to look at travel in a new way in recent years. Instead of waiting for their partners, family or friends to join them in heading out on a new adventure, many women these days are happily going it alone. An example is the private Facebook group Solo Female Travelers, which was started by Meg Jerrard and Mar Pages in 2015. Their plan back then was to “connect women who loved to travel solo”. At first, there were only a few hundred members. Today, nearly 350,000 members from across the globe are in the group. A photo-sharing site called Pinterest notes that in 2024, searches for “solo traveling” have increased by 145%, while a recent survey shows over 59% of travelers plan to travel solo in the coming year. Not only women, but men are also going it alone. And people of all ages are planning to leave literally everything and everyone behind, with some staying not too far from home and others circling the planet for new explorations. “We do an annual survey of our group, and more than 80% of the members agree that solo travel is a choice, and that the lack of a travel partner is not a key motivator. They want more freedom, and they hope to have a break from routines. Also, they explore the world on their own while relaxing and achieving personal growth,” Jerrard explained. Traditionally, cruise companies (邮轮公司) that take adventurers to faraway places always charge solo travelers who use a cabin (舱室) alone extra money, often resulting in the travelers paying nearly the same amount as two people sharing a cabin. But with so many people welcoming the idea of solo travel, that has been one of the first things to fall, as cruise companies rethink their rules. Other travel providers, such as package tour companies and hotels, have also recognized the movement, making unique and detailed changes to satisfy the expectations of solo travelers. While solo traveling isn’t quite perfect yet—think waiters who might ignore solo diners, safety matters, or assumptions from others that “solo travel” means “lonely travel”, this new type of travel has arrived and is here to stay. So, where are you going next on your own? 12. What conclusion can be drawn from the first two paragraphs? A. Most women used to enjoy traveling in groups. B. Social media plays an important role in tourism. C. Women are more creative than men when traveling. D. Traveling alone is becoming more and more popular. 13. What is the main reason for people who travel alone? A. The love for going off the beaten track. B. The need for developing independence. C. The efforts to find like-minded friends. D. The desire to have more personal space. 14. Why are travel providers mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To indicate travel depends on different elements. B. To show they are meeting solo travelers’ demands. C. To ask the tourism industry to improve its services. D. To point out the difficulties of welcoming solo travelers. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards traveling alone? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Worried. D. Doubtful. 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) What’s the Best Kind of Sunscreen? Walk into your local drugstore and you’ll find chemical and mineral formulas in virtually every SPF count and format imaginable, from creams to sprays to sticks. ___16___ Here’s how to choose the right sunscreen, according to dermatologists. What’s the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens? They serve the same purpose — preventing sunburns and other skin damage from the sun’s UV radiation. ___17___. Sunscreens made from titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) and zinc oxide create a physical barrier-atop the skin that reflects UV light. Chemical sunscreens, meanwhile, feature active ingredients that sink into the skin and absorb UV rays “like a sponge”. Is chemical or mineral sunscreen better? Chemical formulas sink into the skin well whereas mineral sunscreens can leave a chalky white residue. People with sensitive skin may do better with a mineral formula, because unlike chemical sunscreens — these products don’t sink deep into the skin. ___18___ Which SPF is best? ___19___ The FDA recommends choosing a product with an SPF of at least 15. People with fair skin may want to go even higher than that. But after a certain point, SPF values offer diminishing returns. An SPF-50 formula offers such strong protection that upgrading to SPF100offers only a tiny amount of additional benefits. No matter which type of sunscreen you choose, make sure to apply it liberally and often. ___20___ And don’t forget to wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing when you’re outdoors. A. But they do so in different ways. B. The higher the SPF, the better the protection. C. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to be allergic to them. D. A higher SPF doesn’t necessarily provide better protection. E So which one should you throw in your beach bag this summer? F. Reapply every two hours, or more often especially if you’re swimming or sweating. G. People with acne-prone (易长粉刺的) skin may benefit from a mineral sunscreen since zinc can help clear blemishes. 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) In a recent cross-country event in Navarre, Spain, 24-year-old Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez Anaya faced a difficult decision.

Now, new research suggests it’s good for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension. Prehypertension is blood pressure that’s higher than normal but doesn’t quite reach the level of high blood pressure. It’s considered a warning sign that heart disease may be ahead, and it raises the risk of having a heart attack. The new findings, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, add to a large body of research pointing to health benefits from Tai Chi, a wellness practice that combines slow, gentle movements and postures with mindfulness. In the study, researchers in China randomly assigned 342 adults with prehypertension to one of two interventions. Roughly half the people participated in exercises, including jogging, climbing stairs, brisk walking and cycling. The other half was trained to practice TaiChi. Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week. After 12 months, those in the Tai Chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure. “Tai Chi kind of helps to just relax everything, and I think it’s that response that’s working towards lowering blood pressure,” says professor Taylor-Pillie, whose research focuses on how mind-body interventions such as Tai Chi can benefit older adults. She notes a large body of evidence has now shown the benefits of Tai Chi on blood pressure. The practice is appealing as a form of exercise because it is low impact and requires little space or equipment. “I think the beauty of Tai Chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership and you don’t have to have special clothing,” Taylor-Pillie says. “Once you learn Tai Chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does kind of provide that calming, relaxing effect.” Studies have also shown that practicing Tai Chi has many other benefits: help reduce the risk of falls, improve balance in older adults, protect against cognitive decline, and so on. But you have to practice it consistently to reap the most benefit. 4. What does “prehypertension” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The potential risk of heart attack. B. The possible outbreak of heart disease. C. The state of certain kind of blood pressure. D. The clinic symptoms of high blood pressure. 5. What’s the purpose of the research? A. To prove previous studies. B. To examine the appeal of Tai Chi C. To determine the benefits of Tai Chi. D. To find a solution to high blood pressure. 6. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Tui Chi has no impact on body and health. B. We need special facility to practice Tai Chi C. Anyone who practices Tai Chi can achieve the most benefit. D. The calming effect of Tai Chi helps reduce blood pressure. 7. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Tai Chi-A Relief to Prehypertension B. Tai Chi-A Cure for High Blood Pressure C. Tai Chi-A Wellness Practice Worth Researching D. Tai Chi-A Traditional Chinese Martial Art 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太极拳这种传统中国武术形式对高血压前期患者的益处，以及它作为一种健身练习的其他健康好处。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Prehypertension is blood pressure that’s higher than normal but doesn’t quite reach the level of high blood pressure.(高血压前期是指血压高于正常水平，但还没有达到高血压的水平)”可知，第一段的“高血压前期”指的是某种血压的状态。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Now, new research suggests it’s good for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension.(现在，新的研究表明，它有助于降低高血压前期患者的血压)”和第二段“The new findings, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, add to a large body of research pointing to health benefits from Tai Chi, a wellness practice that combines slow, gentle movements and postures with mindfulness.(这项发表在《美国医学会杂志网络开放》上的新发现，为大量指出太极拳对健康有益的研究提供了补充。太极拳是一种将缓慢、轻柔的动作和姿势与正念相结合的健身练习)”可推知，研究的目的是确定太极拳的好处。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Tai Chi kind of helps to just relax everything, and I think it’s that response that’s working towards lowering blood pressure(太极拳有助于放松一切，我认为正是这种反应有助于降低血压)”可推知，太极拳的镇静作用有助于降低血压。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Now, new research suggests it’s good for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension.(现在，新的研究表明，它有助于降低高血压前期患者的血压)”可知，本文主要讲述太极拳这种传统中国武术形式对高血压前期患者的益处，以及它作为一种健身练习的其他健康好处。由此可知，最好的题目是A选项“Tai Chi-a relief to prehypertension(太极拳缓解前期高血压)”。故选A。 C Shortly after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri county in Southwest China’s Xizang autonomous region on Jan 7, Air China, the nation’s flag carrier, took action to supply necessary airlift assistance, ensuring that key personnel and supplies quickly reached the most heavily affected areas. About five and a half hours after the earthquake, Air China’s CA4431 flight landed at Dingri Airport. It was the first flight to arrive in the county after the disaster (灾害) , carrying relief (救济) personnel and supplies. Over the following two days, the airline continued its support by transporting rescue teams and relief supplies, including medicine, to the disaster zone and its vicinity.

On Jan 9, flight CA4401 transported 6 metric tons of tents provided by the foundation from Chengdu, the capital city of Southwest China’s Sichuan province, to Lhasa. The tents were handed over to the local government upon arrival and then sent to the disaster-stricken area. Air China immediately started its emergency response plan and set up a task force concentrating on relief efforts following the earthquake. The task force focused on arranging rescue flights, managing flight changes and cancellations, and preparing critical supplies such as meals and oxygen bottles, according to the company. The airline increased its capacity for transporting relief supplies by using larger aircraft. Additionally, special policies were introduced for flights to the Xizang autonomous region, and relevant information was made available on the airline’s official website, mobile application, and WeChat mini-program.

Instead of waiting for their partners, family or friends to join them in heading out on a new adventure, many women these days are happily going it alone. An example is the private Facebook group Solo Female Travelers, which was started by Meg Jerrard and Mar Pages in 2015. Their plan back then was to “connect women who loved to travel solo”. At first, there were only a few hundred members. Today, nearly 350,000 members from across the globe are in the group. A photo-sharing site called Pinterest notes that in 2024, searches for “solo traveling” have increased by 145%, while a recent survey shows over 59% of travelers plan to travel solo in the coming year. Not only women, but men are also going it alone. And people of all ages are planning to leave literally everything and everyone behind, with some staying not too far from home and others circling the planet for new explorations. “We do an annual survey of our group, and more than 80% of the members agree that solo travel is a choice, and that the lack of a travel partner is not a key motivator. They want more freedom, and they hope to have a break from routines. Also, they explore the world on their own while relaxing and achieving personal growth,” Jerrard explained. Traditionally, cruise companies (邮轮公司) that take adventurers to faraway places always charge solo travelers who use a cabin (舱室) alone extra money, often resulting in the travelers paying nearly the same amount as two people sharing a cabin. But with so many people welcoming the idea of solo travel, that has been one of the first things to fall, as cruise companies rethink their rules. Other travel providers, such as package tour companies and hotels, have also recognized the movement, making unique and detailed changes to satisfy the expectations of solo travelers. While solo traveling isn’t quite perfect yet—think waiters who might ignore solo diners, safety matters, or assumptions from others that “solo travel” means “lonely travel”, this new type of travel has arrived and is here to stay. So, where are you going next on your own? 12. What conclusion can be drawn from the first two paragraphs? A. Most women used to enjoy traveling in groups. B. Social media plays an important role in tourism. C. Women are more creative than men when traveling. D. Traveling alone is becoming more and more popular. 13. What is the main reason for people who travel alone? A. The love for going off the beaten track. B. The need for developing independence. C. The efforts to find like-minded friends. D. The desire to have more personal space. 14. Why are travel providers mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To indicate travel depends on different elements. B. To show they are meeting solo travelers’ demands. C. To ask the tourism industry to improve its services. D. To point out the difficulties of welcoming solo travelers. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards traveling alone? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Worried. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了独自旅行（尤其是女性独自旅行）变得越来越流行的现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Instead of waiting for their partners, family or friends to join them in heading out on a new adventure, many women these days are happily going it alone.(如今，许多女性不再等待伴侣、家人或朋友加入她们的冒险，而是欣然接受独自出行。)”和第二段“A photo-sharing site called Pinterest notes that in 2024, searches for “solo traveling” have increased by 145%, while a recent survey shows over 59% of travelers plan to travel solo in the coming year.(图片分享网站指出，2024年“独自旅行”的搜索增加了145%，而最近一项调查显示，超过59%的旅行者计划在来年独自旅行。)”可知，越来越多的人选择独自旅行，因此独自旅行变得越来越流行。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““We do an annual survey of our group, and more than 80% of the members agree that solo travel is a choice, and that the lack of a travel partner is not a key motivator. They want more freedom, and they hope to have a break from routines. Also, they explore the world on their own while relaxing and achieving personal growth,” Jerrard explained.( Jerrard解释道：“我们每年都会对群组成员进行调查，超过80%的成员认为独自旅行是一种选择，而不是因为缺乏旅伴而不得不独自出行，他们想要更多的自由，希望从日常琐事中解脱出来。而且，他们在放松的同时，通过自己的方式探索世界，实现个人成长。”)”可知，人们独自旅行的主要原因是渴望拥有更多的个人空间和自由。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Other travel providers, such as package tour companies and hotels, have also recognized the movement, making unique and detailed changes to satisfy the expectations of solo travelers.(其他旅游服务提供商，也认识到了这一趋势，并做出了独特而细致的调整，以满足独自旅行者的期望。)”等内容可知，本段前文提到，随着独自旅行的兴起，邮轮公司、旅游公司和酒店等旅游服务提供商开始调整规则和服务，以满足独自旅行者的需求。因此，提及这些提供商是为了说明他们也正在满足独自旅行者的需求。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While solo traveling isn’t quite perfect yet — think waiters who might ignore solo diners, safety matters, or assumptions from others that “solo travel” means “lonely travel”, this new type of travel has arrived and is here to stay.(尽管独自旅行还不完全完美——比如服务员可能会忽视独自用餐的旅客，安全问题或其他人认为“独自旅行”等于“孤独旅行”的假设——但这种新型旅行方式已经到来，并将持续发展。)”可知，作者认为独自旅行方式已经到来并将继续存在，因此作者对独自旅行持积极态度。故选A。 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) What’s the Best Kind of Sunscreen? Walk into your local drugstore and you’ll find chemical and mineral formulas in virtually every SPF count and format imaginable, from creams to sprays to sticks. ___16___ Here’s how to choose the right sunscreen, according to dermatologists. What’s the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens? They serve the same purpose — preventing sunburns and other skin damage from the sun’s UV radiation. ___17___. Sunscreens made from titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) and zinc oxide create a physical barrier-atop the skin that reflects UV light. Chemical sunscreens, meanwhile, feature active ingredients that sink into the skin and absorb UV rays “like a sponge”. Is chemical or mineral sunscreen better? Chemical formulas sink into the skin well whereas mineral sunscreens can leave a chalky white residue. People with sensitive skin may do better with a mineral formula, because unlike chemical sunscreens — these products don’t sink deep into the skin. ___18___ Which SPF is best? ___19___ The FDA recommends choosing a product with an SPF of at least 15. People with fair skin may want to go even higher than that. But after a certain point, SPF values offer diminishing returns. An SPF-50 formula offers such strong protection that upgrading to SPF100offers only a tiny amount of additional benefits. No matter which type of sunscreen you choose, make sure to apply it liberally and often. ___20___ And don’t forget to wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing when you’re outdoors. A. But they do so in different ways. B. The higher the SPF, the better the protection. C. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to be allergic to them. D. A higher SPF doesn’t necessarily provide better protection. E. So which one should you throw in your beach bag this summer? F. Reapply every two hours, or more often especially if you’re swimming or sweating. G. People with acne-prone (易长粉刺的) skin may benefit from a mineral sunscreen since zinc can help clear blemishes. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. C 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何选择合适的防晒霜。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Walk into your local drugstore and you’ll find chemical and mineral formulas in virtually every SPF count and format imaginable, from creams to sprays to sticks.(走进当地的药店，你几乎可以找到各种防晒指数和各种形式的化学和矿物配方的防晒霜，从乳霜到喷雾再到棒状防晒霜。)”以及下文“Here’s how to choose the right sunscreen, according to dermatologists.(以下是皮肤科医生给出的如何选择合适防晒霜的建议。)”可知，上文提到了有各种各样的防晒霜，下文则提到了如何选择合适的防晒霜，由此可知，空处与上文构成转折，提出疑问。故E选项“那么今年夏天你应该把哪种防晒霜放进你的海滩包里呢？”符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“They serve the same purpose — preventing sunburns and other skin damage from the sun’s UV radiation.(它们的作用相同—— 防止晒伤和太阳紫外线辐射对皮肤造成的其他损伤。)”以及下文Sunscreens made from titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) and zinc oxide create a physical barrier-atop the skin that reflects UV light. Chemical sunscreens, meanwhile, feature active ingredients that sink into the skin and absorb UV rays “like a sponge”.(由二氧化钛和氧化锌制成的防晒霜会在皮肤表面形成一道物理屏障，反射紫外线。与此同时，化学防晒霜的特点是其活性成分会渗入皮肤，像海绵一样吸收紫外线。)”可知，上文提到化学和矿物质两种防晒霜的作用相同，下文则提到了它们防晒原理的不同，由此可知，空处与上文构成转折，说明它们防晒的方式不同。故A选项“但它们以不同的方式做到这一点”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Chemical formulas sink into the skin well whereas mineral sunscreens can leave a chalky white residue. People with sensitive skin may do better with a mineral formula, because unlike chemical sunscreens — these products don’t sink deep into the skin.(化学配方的防晒霜能很好地渗入皮肤，而矿物防晒霜可能会留下白垩状的残留。皮肤敏感的人使用矿物配方的防晒霜效果可能更好，因为与化学防晒霜不同，这些产品不会深入皮肤。)”可知，上文提到皮肤敏感的人可能更适合矿物防晒霜，空处为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明原因：它们几乎不可能引起过敏。故C选项“因此，几乎不可能对它们过敏”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Which SPF is best?(哪种SPF最好？)”以及下文“The FDA recommends choosing a product with an SPF of at least 15. People with fair skin may want to go even higher than that. But after a certain point, SPF values offer diminishing returns. An SPF-50 formula offers such strong protection that upgrading to SPF100 offers only a tiny amount of additional benefits.(美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）建议选择防晒指数至少为15的产品。肤色白皙的人可能需要选择更高防晒指数的产品。但在达到一定程度后，防晒指数的增加带来的效果会越来越小。防晒指数为50的配方已经能提供很强的防护，升级到防晒指数100只会带来少量额外的好处。)”可知，本段主要说明了并不是SPF值越高越好，D选项中“a higher SPF”对应标题中“Which SPF is best”。故D选项“更高的SPF值不一定能提供更好的保护”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文No matter which type of sunscreen you choose, make sure to apply it liberally and often.(无论你选择哪种防晒霜，一定要经常大量涂抹。)”可知，上文提到要经常大量涂抹防晒霜，空处应承接上文说明涂抹防晒霜的频率。F选项中“Reapply”对应上文中“apply”。故F选项“每两小时重新涂抹一次，如果你在游泳或出汗，更要经常涂抹”符合语境。故选F。 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) In a recent cross-country event in Navarre, Spain, 24-year-old Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez Anaya faced a difficult decision.

Samuel tried to discover what had happened to his son, but he couldn’t get any information. Samuel as well as other parents instantly headed for the schoolyard. When he reached the area, all that he saw brought tears to his eyes. With the school ____39____ (destroy) completely, it was a pile of debris (碎片) then. Having found the location ____40____ Armand’s classroom used to stay, Samuel began pulling a broken rock off the pile and put it to the side, and then grabbed another one. One of the parents standing nearby asked, “What are you doing?” “Digging for my son. Broken stones and bricks ____41____ (remove) by me now,” Samuel answered. The man then said, “You will make things worse! The building is so unstable as to fall down at any time.” He tried to stop Samuel. ____42____ spite of that, Samuel just kept working. As time went on, one by one, the other parents left. Samuel was the only parent who was staying there. All through the night and into the next day, Samuel continued digging.

At last, to his great ____43____ (satisfy), he could see his son. “Come on out, son!

Looking 38. an 39. destroyed##having been destroyed 40. where 41. are being removed 42. In 43. satisfaction 44. eagerly 45. grateful 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了1988年美国发生地震后，居民塞缪尔在学校废墟中坚持不懈挖掘，最终成功救出儿子及其他14个孩子的故事。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数形式。句意：1988 年，在美国，当地居民之一塞缪尔送他的儿子阿曼德去上学。“one of + 可数名词复数” 表示 “…… 之一”，是固定用法，故填residents。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：看着男孩的眼睛，塞缪尔说：“祝你度过愉快的一天，记住，如果有必要，我会一直在你身边。”句子主语Samuel与look之间是主动关系，即Samuel发出look这个动作，且look与谓语动词said同时发生。现在分词作伴随状语，首字母大写。故填Looking。 【38题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：几个小时后，一场可怕地震发生了。“earthquake”是可数名词，在文中首次提及，表示“一场地震”。不定冠词用于可数名词单数前，“earthquake”以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词an。故填an。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：学校被完全摧毁了，那时它成了一堆废墟。 “With the school 4 (destroy) completely”是with复合结构，“the school”是宾语，所填内容作宾语补足语。“school”与“destroy”之间是被动关系，即学校被摧毁，所以可以用过去分词destroyed作宾语补足语。同时，“学校被摧毁” 这个动作发生在 “it was a pile of debris then”之前，现在分词的完成被动式 having been destroyed也可作宾语补足语，表示动作先于主句动作发生。故填(having been) destroyed。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：找到了阿曼德教室曾经所在的位置后，塞缪尔开始从废墟中搬走一块破碎的石头并把它放到一边，然后又抓起另一块。空处引导定语从句，先行词是“the location”，在从句中作地点状语，关系副词where，故填where。 【41题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：碎石和砖块现在正在被我移走。由时间状语“now”可知，句子时态为现在进行时，表示当前正在进行的动作。“Broken stones and bricks”与“remove”之间是被动关系，故填are being removed。 【42题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：尽管如此，塞缪尔还是继续工作。“in spite of”是固定短语，意为“尽管，不顾”。首字母大写。故填In。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：最后，令他非常满意的是，他看到了他的儿子。“to one’s + 名词”是固定搭配，意为“令某人…… 的是”。“satisfy”是动词，其名词形式是satisfaction。不可数。故填satisfaction。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：“出来吧，儿子！我急切地在找你。” 他兴奋地说。 “searching”是动词，修饰动词要用副词。“eager”是形容词，其副词形式是eagerly，意为 “急切地，渴望地”，用来修饰动词searching。故填eagerly。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在所有14个孩子在灾难中幸存下来后，他们都非常感激塞缪尔救了他们。“were”是系动词，系动词后接形容词作表语。“gratitude”是名词，其形容词形式是grateful，“be grateful to sb. for doing sth.”是固定短语，意为 “因某人做某事而感激某人”，故填grateful。 第二部分书面表达(满分40分) 46. 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。 “My name is Julie Hanson. I am excited to be back in school. I have two new cats, and you are all invited to see them after school!” Julie said to the 2nd grade class when it was her turn to introduce herself. Julie knew she was outgoing (外向的) and sometimes loud. With her bright red, curly (卷曲) hair and mismatched socks, Julie appeared a little frightening to the shy kids. She couldn’t help it! She loved school, her friends, and being the centre of attention. Julie’s mum said she attracted friends like fruit flies to apple juice. Mrs. Diaz, the teacher, smiled and thanked Julie for sharing. Mrs. Diaz then introduced a new kid named Andy Collins. When he spoke, he was quiet and didn’t say much. Julie thought she had seen him at breakfast. He had been sitting alone and not eating. Mrs. Diaz then partnered him with Eric as his “buddy” for the day. After class, Julie had forgotten all about Andy. She played four square, swung across the monkey bars twice, and shot a hoop (铁环) that didn’t make the basket. “I love being back at school,” later thought Julie as she took her seat and got ready to work on maths. At lunchtime, Julie noticed that Andy was sitting with Eric and his friends but not talking to anyone. “He looks lonely, ” thought Julie, as she ate up her pizza, drank her milk, and went outside to play hide-and-seek with a group that was already playing. When the bell rang to go home for the day, Julie walked up to Mrs. Diaz and gave her a big hug. “Thank you for a great first day! ” Julie said. “I’ll see you tomorrow! ” Mrs. Diaz told her.

She remembered how lonely he looked yesterday and decided to do something. She took her tray and walked over to Andy. “Hi, Andy! Mind if I sit here?” she asked with a big smile. Andy looked up, a bit surprised, but nodded shyly. Julie started chatting about all the fun things they could do at school, like playing on the playground and doing art projects. Andy listened, a small smile slowly forming on his face. She introduced Andy to her other friends, and they all greeted him warmly. Julie smiled, feeling good helping Andy make friends. As the days went by, Andy became more and more comfortable in the class. He started participating in games and conversations. Julie was happy to see the change in Andy. One day, Andy even initiated a conversation with some other kids during recess. Julie felt a sense of pride. She realized that a simple act of kindness could make a big difference. From then on, Julie continued to be friendly and inclusive, always looking out for those who seemed lonely. And Andy was no longer the shy, lonely boy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了性格外向的朱莉注意到新同学安迪显得很孤独，便主动与安迪交流，帮助他融入集体，把他介绍给其他朋友。之后，安迪在班级里越来越自在，开始参与游戏和对话，不再孤单。朱莉意识到善意能带来大改变，继续友好待人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，朱莉看到安迪又一个人吃早饭了。”可知，第一段可描写朱莉和安迪的交谈的经过以及把安迪介绍给她的其他朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容“朱莉笑了，帮安迪交朋友感觉很好。”可知，第二段可描写安迪变得越来越自在了以及朱莉很高兴看到安迪的变化。 2. 续写线索：看到安迪一个人吃早饭——主动找安迪交谈——给安迪介绍其他朋友——安迪的变化——不再害羞和孤独——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：decided to do /was determined to do ②参加：participate in /take part in ③意识到：realized /was aware of 情绪类 ①感到惊讶：surprised/amazed/astonished ②高兴的：happy/glad/delightful 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the days went by, Andy became more and more comfortable in the class.（运用了As引导的时间状语从句。） 【高分句型2】She realized that a simple act of kindness could make a big difference.（运用了that引导的宾语从句。） 47. 近来全球地震频发，地震会造成包括房屋倒塌、人员伤亡等在内的一系列可怕后果。因此在发生地震时如何保护自己成了一个重要的话题。请你以“How to Survive an Earthquake”为题写一篇文章。内容包括： (1)地震来临时不要慌张，如果室外请远离大树、高楼、高压线等物； (2)如果在室内，要尽量躲在桌子等坚固的家具下面，并注意保护好头部、颈部； (3)逃生时不要选择乘坐电梯。 注意：1.词数80词左右； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Earthquakes have happened in many places recently, causing significant damage.
