We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes?
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time? I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.
4. What problem did the writer face after accepting the order?
A. It was impossible for Vidian to meet the deadline. B. The sewing girls were called out on strike.
C. She found it hard to track Armenians living in Paris. D. There was a shortage of suitable cloth.
5. What do the underlined words “the first shipment” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Raw materials. B. More orders. C. The forty sweaters. D. The special stitch.
6 How did the writer deal with the show problem?
A. She put off the show. B. She showed the clothes unfinished.
C. She employed more sewing girls. D. She completed the clothes in a hurry.
7. Which of the following might the writer agree with?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Like father, like son.
C. Easier said than done. D. All roads lead to Rome.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了父亲说过的“通往广场的路不止一条”的话一直在指引着作者,帮助作者度过一次次难关。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.(然而,当Vidian太太告诉我,她织一件毛衣几乎要花一个星期的时间时,我的快乐消失了)”可知,作者在接受订单后,Vidian不可能在最后期限前完成任务。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order.(一家纽约商店希望在两周内准备好40件毛衣。我接受了订单)”以及划线词上文“Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several.”可知,作者找了几个住在巴黎的亚美尼亚人来完成这四十件毛衣。故划线词指的是“四十件毛衣”。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patters made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished.(有些外套没有袖子;有些只是用厚棉布做成的图案,但我在这些图案上附上了布料,以显示衣服完成后的颜色和质地)”可知,作者通过展示了未完成的衣服处理展示问题。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”(我们站在教堂的塔顶上。我看到蜿蜒曲折的街道通向广场。“看,亲爱的,”父亲温柔地说。“通往广场的路不止一条。”)”结合文章主要讲述了父亲说过的“通往广场的路不止一条”的话一直在指引着作者,帮助作者度过一次次难关。可推知,作者认同“条条大路通罗马”。故选D。
C
Some wounds won’t heal by themselves. These chronic (慢性的) wounds cause long-term suffering and even become deadly if not successfully treated. The existing treatments often require surgery or lead to worse situations.
For a study published in Science Advances, biomedical engineer Wei Gao and his colleagues used mice to test a “smart bandage” that could make chronic wound healing easier and faster. It consists of a flexible polymer sticker (聚合物贴片) that sticks to the skin, containing medication and a thin covering of electronics that monitors and wirelessly sends data about the wound’s condition. The sticker can carry out controlled delivery of two treatments: a drug and an electric current.
Based on previous medical treatments, which use electricity to attract immune and skin cells to the wound and stimulate cell growth, the smart band age adds biochemical sensing capabilities. It can monitor the condition and provide information about infection and the healing stage. Gao and his colleagues also added a special gel (凝胶) to the band age that releases drug when activated by electricity.
The team tested the band age on mice and found that it accurately detected the changes at different stages of wound healing. Each individual treatment achieved at least partial healing within two weeks, and untreated animals did not heal.
“Requirements for the lifetime of the device are very different between mice and human subjects,” Jiang says. As they head toward human testing, the team is working to improve accuracy. “We hope to apply this smart band age technology in humans in the next year,” Gao says. “Hopefully the information we get can really benefit people with chronic wounds.”
8. What is Paragraph 2mainly about?
A. The benefits of the bandage.
B. The designers of the bandage.
C. The working theory of the bandage.
D. The operating procedure of the bandage.
9. What’s the function of the special gel?
A. It releases drug.
B. It senses biochemical changes.
C. It provides information on cells.
D. It monitors the wound’s condition.
10. What is Wei Gao’s attitude towards the future of the smart bandage?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
11 What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To praise the creativity of scientists.
B. To introduce a new type of bandage.
C. To stress the importance of innovation.
D. To present the danger of chronic wounds.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B

It takes a lot of energy to keep buildings comfortably cool in hot parts of the world. As it comes through windows, sunshine is a big source of heat in buildings, explains Tengfei Luo, an engineer at the University of Notre Dame.
Sunlight contains both the visible (可见的) light that we can see and the light our eyes can’t see. Both types can pass through glass. Luo and his team set out to design a clear coating (涂层) that blocked the invisible light, which has a warming effect. Extra-thin layers of materials like silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide can interact with light in ways that help. But none could do it all. So his team decided to layer such materials, like a pile of pancakes. Knowing how to perfect the layer and ordering of layers can get really complicated as the number of layers increases. Unless, that is, you have a quantum (量子) computer.
The team chose four promising materials. They pile up those materials in very thin layers, and in any order. There can be up to 24 layers. Among all possible arrangements, they record which worked best at keeping heat out but letting in visible light.
It turns out that there were hundreds of billions of possible arrangements. A traditional computer would take millions of years to evaluate them, but a quantum computer can evaluate them in less than a second. It can take thousands of cycles of measuring and improving the program to get to an answer. The result was a surprisingly clear coating highly transparent to visible light.
The coating uses common, inexpensive materials. It requires no foreign techniques. A sample test shows after a day and a half in hot climate, it kept a test room 6 degrees Celsius cooler than an untreated window, cutting the energy used to cool buildings by close to one-third.
Luo sees potential for widespread use of this glass coating in hot climates. To seriously address climate change, energy-efficient buildings are a must.
12. How does the coating designed by Luo’s team work?
A. By trapping visible light inside the house.
B. By stopping invisible light from entering through the window.
C. By controlling the amount of light entering the room.
D. By allowing both visible and invisible light to pass through glass.
13. What does them in paragraph 4 referred to?
A. different layers. B. coating functions.
C. layer arrangements. D. suitable materials.
14. What can be inferred about the final design of the coating?
A. It works effectively. B. It’s widely used.
C. It comes in several varieties. D. Its cost remains to be reduced.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Apply This Coating to Your Windows to Heat Your House
B. Think of This New Tech as Sunglasses for Our Windows
C. Develop New Energy to Keep Buildings Comfortably Cool
D. Build Energy-Efficient Buildings to Address Climate Change
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了圣母大学Tengfei Luo团队研发了一种透明的窗户涂层,这种涂层可以阻挡一部分不可见的太阳光进入房间,从而使房间相对更加凉爽,这种涂层有望在气候炎热地区广泛应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Luo and his team set out to design a clear coating that blocked the invisible light, which has a warming effect. (罗和他的团队着手设计一种透明的涂层,可以阻挡具有变暖效应的不可见光)”可知,罗腾飞及其团队着手设计一款透明涂层,可以阻挡有升温效果的不可见光。因此,这一涂层是通过阻挡不可见光穿过窗户来达到效果。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Among all possible arrangements, they record which worked best at keeping heat out but letting in visible light.(在所有可能的排列组合中,他们记录下哪些最能有效隔热并让可见光进入)”及第四段中的“A traditional computer would take millions of years to evaluate them, but a quantum computer can evaluate them in less than a second.(传统计算机需要数百万年才能评估它们,但量子计算机可以在不到一秒的时间内完成评估)”可知,“them”指代前文“所有可能的涂层排列组合”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“A sample test shows after a day and a half in hot climate, it kept a test room 6 degrees Celsius cooler than an untreated window, cutting the energy used to cool buildings by close to one-third.(样本测试显示,在炎热气候中一天半后,它使测试房间比未处理的窗户低 6 摄氏度,将建筑降温能耗降低近三分之一)”可知,该涂层设计效果显著,由此可推断,这种涂层效果很好。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“Luo and his team set out to design a clear coating (涂层) that blocked the invisible light, which has a warming effect. (罗和他的团队着手设计一种透明的涂层,可以阻挡具有变暖效应的不可见光)”以及下文介绍的他们的研究过程以及所遇到的困难和最终的研究发现可知,本文主要介绍了一种透明的窗户涂层,可以阻挡太阳中的不可见光,从而给建筑物降温,这种涂层的作用与太阳镜类似,所以“将这项新技术视为窗户的“太阳镜””作为标题既生动形象,又合乎主旨。故选B项。

37. reliable
38. ensures 39. on
40. travelling##traveling 41. It
42. equipped
43. be charged
44. who 45. strongly
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是中国高铁的优势。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:当中国人去其他城市旅行时,他们最好的交通选择是乘坐高铁。best是形容词,修饰名词,choose的名词是choice,意为“选择”,由后面的is可知,空格处用单数,故填choice。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:现在,中国的高铁真的很快,可靠,方便和舒适。空格处用形容词作表语,rely的形容词是reliable,意为“可靠的”,故填reliable。
【38题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,没有身份证就不能购票,这确保了乘客的安全。该空所在句为非限制性定语从句,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,which指代主句所描述的事情,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填ensures。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:此外,价格对普通人来说是负担得起的,火车总是准点进站和出站。根据语境可知,句子表示“火车总是准点进站和出站”,on schedule是固定短语,意为“按时”,因此空格处是on,故填on。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句省略。句意:当(你)乘它旅行时,无论它是停下来还是以300公里/小时的速度行驶,(你)都感觉不到颠簸。根据语境可知,while引导的时间状语从句意为“当(你)乘它旅行时”,是while you are travelling/traveling by it,主句是被动语态(翻译时变为主动语态“(你)都感觉不到颠簸”),从句主语与主句主语一致且从句含有be动词,常省略从句的主语和be动词,可省略you are,因此空格处是travelling/traveling。故填travelling/traveling。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:“子弹头”列车配备了空调、电视和食堂,是一种很好的旅行和享受方式。空格处用it作形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语,位于句首,首字母大写,故填It。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“子弹头”列车配备了空调、电视和食堂,是一种很好的旅行和享受方式。句中is是谓语,空格处用非谓语动词,train和equip之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填equipped。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:此外,您的手机还可以充电,因为座位旁边有足够的电源插座。手机是被充电,句子用被动语态,空前有can,因此空格处是be done,故填be charged。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:高铁正在改变中国人的生活习惯,中国人从中受益良多。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词people是人,因此空格处用关系代词who,故填who。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:高铁是中国经济腾飞和人民生活水平提高的有力保障。空格处用副词作状语修饰动词guarantees,strong的副词是strongly,意为“强有力地”。故填strongly。

The Students’ Union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Nowadays, the environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious and global warming causes frequent extreme weather. Therefore, I’d like to appeal to all of us to take an active part in protecting the environment.
Everyone can contribute to a better environment and we students can also do our part. It is necessary that we participate in voluntary work such as planting trees and picking up rubbish. Additionally, it is strongly suggested that we should live a low carbon life. For example, it makes sense to turn off the taps, the lights and other electrical appliances when we are not using them. Furthermore, we should attach great importance to garbage sorting and recycling in our daily life, through which we can reduce pollution and conserve natural resources.
Every effort counts. Let’s join hands to make our planet a greener one!

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。
Nupur walked along the road with a sad look on her face. Tomorrow was her friend Neeta’s birthday but she did not have anything nice to wear to the party. Her father’s small factory had closed down and there was hardly any money left at home to buy a new dress.
Nupur decided to wear an old dress that had been her favourite for many years but was a little too short for her now. “I will ask the tailor to lengthen it,” Nupur said to herself. The tailor however refused to do so. “I don’t take such work right now since the orders have started pouring in and my hands are full.”
Nupur left holding the bag with the dress in it and thought “What am I to do?” Suddenly she saw a lady get out of the car and walk towards the bank. The lady opened her handbag to take out some papers but her wallet fell to the ground. Unaware of it, the lady went into the bank. Nupur ran and picked up the wallet. There were so many people in the bank that she decided to wait on the steps.
After a long time the lady came out. Nupur handed her the wallet that she had dropped. The lady could not believe it. The little girl had been waiting for her for so long, just to give back the wallet. The lady looked at the contents and everything was just the way she had left it. She looked at the girl’s old and dirty clothes. “What is your name and where are you going? Can I drop you home?” The lady asked. Nupur told the lady that she was going home. She also said that she had been to the tailor to get a dress tailored to wear for her friend’s birthday party but the tailor had refused to do so and that her father was jobless.
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 lady looked at the dress with visible dirty spots.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the evening, Nupur went to the lady’s home to get her old dress back.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The lady looked at the dress with visible dirty spots. She was once the owner of a store that made clothes for children. “Maybe I could do that. Would you like to let me try?” the lady smiled and said. Nupur nodded, pleasantly surprised. Then she paused and said, “Have you thought of a present to give to your friend?” “Why, yes!” Nupur answered enthusiastically. “My uncle gave me a new box of colored pencils. I’ll give that to my friend.” “Great! Come over in the evening and collect your dress.” The lady told Nupur her address and left.
Paragraph 2:
In the evening, Nupur went to the lady’s home to get her old dress back. She was speechless to see it looked so impressive. The lady used lace to lengthen the dress. The collar and sleeves had been added decorations to as well. The lady also made a bag as a birthday gift for Nupur’s friend. Nupur was overjoyed but then became nervous, since she thought she only had little pocket money. “How much should I pay for them, madam?” “Oh, dear,” the lady laughed, “they’re a tiny gift I think such an honest girl totally deserves.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,文章以人物为线索,描述了女主人公Nupur去找裁缝帮自己改衣服,遭到拒绝后,在银行门口捡到一位女士的钱包,一直在门口等着这位女士出来并把钱包还给她的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写
由第一段首句内容“这位女士看着裙子上明显的脏点。”可知,本段可描写女士看到Nupur身上的脏衣服后,决定帮助她改衣服。
由第二段首句内容“晚上,Nupur去这位女士家里把她的旧衣服拿回来。”可知,本段可描写Nupur把衣服的过程。
2.续写线索:看到脏衣服——提出帮忙——约定拿衣服——拿到衣服后的反应
3.词汇激活
行为类
拿走、领取:collect / get back / take away
离开:leave / go away
情绪类

We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes?
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time? I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.
4. What problem did the writer face after accepting the order?
A. It was impossible for Vidian to meet the deadline. B. The sewing girls were called out on strike.
C. She found it hard to track Armenians living in Paris. D. There was a shortage of suitable cloth.
5. What do the underlined words “the first shipment” refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Raw materials. B. More orders. C. The forty sweaters. D. The special stitch.
6. How did the writer deal with the show problem?
A. She put off the show. B. She showed the clothes unfinished.
C. She employed more sewing girls. D. She completed the clothes in a hurry.
7. Which of the following might the writer agree with?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Like father, like son.
C. Easier said than done. D. All roads lead to Rome.
C
Some wounds won’t heal by themselves. These chronic (慢性的) wounds cause long-term suffering and even become deadly if not successfully treated. The existing treatments often require surgery or lead to worse situations.
For a study published in Science Advances, biomedical engineer Wei Gao and his colleagues used mice to test a “smart bandage” that could make chronic wound healing easier and faster. It consists of a flexible polymer sticker (聚合物贴片) that sticks to the skin, containing medication and a thin covering of electronics that monitors and wirelessly sends data about the wound’s condition. The sticker can carry out controlled delivery of two treatments: a drug and an electric current.
Based on previous medical treatments, which use electricity to attract immune and skin cells to the wound and stimulate cell growth, the smart band age adds biochemical sensing capabilities. It can monitor the condition and provide information about infection and the healing stage. Gao and his colleagues also added a special gel (凝胶) to the band age that releases drug when activated by electricity.
The team tested the band age on mice and found that it accurately detected the changes at different stages of wound healing. Each individual treatment achieved at least partial healing within two weeks, and untreated animals did not heal.
“Requirements for the lifetime of the device are very different between mice and human subjects,” Jiang says. As they head toward human testing, the team is working to improve accuracy. “We hope to apply this smart band age technology in humans in the next year,” Gao says. “Hopefully the information we get can really benefit people with chronic wounds.”
8. What is Paragraph 2mainly about?
A. The benefits of the bandage.
B. The designers of the bandage.
C. The working theory of the bandage.
D. The operating procedure of the bandage.
9. What’s the function of the special gel?
A. It releases drug.
B. It senses biochemical changes.
C It provides information on cells.
D. It monitors the wound’s condition.
10. What is Wei Gao’s attitude towards the future of the smart bandage?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. To praise the creativity of scientists.
B. To introduce a new type of bandage.
C. To stress the importance of innovation.
D. To present the danger of chronic wounds.
D
It takes a lot of energy to keep buildings comfortably cool in hot parts of the world. As it comes through windows, sunshine is a big source of heat in buildings, explains Tengfei Luo, an engineer at the University of Notre Dame.
Sunlight contains both the visible (可见的) light that we can see and the light our eyes can’t see. Both types can pass through glass. Luo and his team set out to design a clear coating (涂层) that blocked the invisible light, which has a warming effect. Extra-thin layers of materials like silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide can interact with light in ways that help. But none could do it all. So his team decided to layer such materials, like a pile of pancakes. Knowing how to perfect the layer and ordering of layers can get really complicated as the number of layers increases. Unless, that is, you have a quantum (量子) computer.
The team chose four promising materials. They pile up those materials in very thin layers, and in any order. There can be up to 24 layers. Among all possible arrangements, they record which worked best at keeping heat out but letting in visible light.
It turns out that there were hundreds of billions of possible arrangements. A traditional computer would take millions of years to evaluate them, but a quantum computer can evaluate them in less than a second.

Nupur walked along the road with a sad look on her face. Tomorrow was her friend Neeta’s birthday but she did not have anything nice to wear to the party. Her father’s small factory had closed down and there was hardly any money left at home to buy a new dress.
Nupur decided to wear an old dress that had been her favourite for many years but was a little too short for her now. “I will ask the tailor to lengthen it,” Nupur said to herself. The tailor however refused to do so. “I don’t take such work right now since the orders have started pouring in and my hands are full.”
Nupur left holding the bag with the dress in it and thought, “What am I to do?” Suddenly she saw a lady get out of the car and walk towards the bank. The lady opened her handbag to take out some papers but her wallet fell to the ground. Unaware of it, the lady went into the bank. Nupur ran and picked up the wallet. There were so many people in the bank that she decided to wait on the steps.
After a long time the lady came out. Nupur handed her the wallet that she had dropped. The lady could not believe it. The little girl had been waiting for her for so long, just to give back the wallet. The lady looked at the contents and everything was just the way she had left it. She looked at the girl’s old and dirty clothes. “What is your name and where are you going? Can I drop you home?” The lady asked. Nupur told the lady that she was going home. She also said that she had been to the tailor to get a dress tailored to wear for her friend’s birthday party but the tailor had refused to do so and that her father was jobless.
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 lady looked at the dress with visible dirty spots.
