His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry. Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry. 4. Which of the following can describe Yeats's family? A. It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeats's choice. C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere. 5. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life? A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater. B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry. C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s. D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize. 6. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines? A. Envy B. Sympathy C. Emptiness D. Admiration 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Yeats's literary achievements B. Yeats's historical influence C. Yeats's artistic ambition D. Yeats's national honor 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述是诺贝尔奖获得者爱尔兰著名的艺术家Yeats的一生的故事及其成就。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后三行. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry. 可知他的家庭是一个很有艺术气息的家庭，故D正确。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865.和最后一段的Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.可知，他是1865年出生的，在50岁以后才写出最好的作品，那么大约是在1910s，故C正确。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry.说明他认为Yeats是爱尔兰艺术届的巨大损失。由此可推断出他很钦佩Yeats，故D正确。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章介绍了Yeats的出生，家庭及他对文学的热爱和他所取得的成就可知，本文主要讲的是爱尔兰著名的艺术家Yeats的生平及其成就。故A正确。 C The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea. Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants. Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding. 8. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved. 9. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines. 10. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A. It’s important to learn to recycle B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward? 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在处理塑料污染方面，把可回收塑料重组成衣服的一部分不失为一个好办法，但研究表明，合成型衣服的清洗会产生大量纤维，其中微纤维对海洋环境的危害最为严重。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. ”可知，在过去的五年里，很多制衣公司，企业和环境组织已经开始把塑料转换成纤维来解决环境污染问题。结合上文，企业是用可回收塑料瓶转换成纤维。由此，在这五年会有很多塑料瓶被再次利用，结合选项，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.”可知，Browne通过自己的研究发现世界各地海水样本中都存在微纤维。结合第四段Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten.可知，微纤维对海洋生物有很大的危害。由此，合成型衣服的清洗会产生大量微纤维，微纤维的排放会加重海洋问题，结合选项，故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段“When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. ”可知，在Browne要求世界知名制衣公司支持把对人类和环境有危害的衣服撤出市场的研究项目时，Browne并没有得到一个令人满意的答案。由此可推知，他的研究项目Benign by Design遇到了难题，结合选项，故选D。 【11题详解】 标题判断题。由第一段“ During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution.”（ 在过去的五年里，大量的服装公司、企业和环保组织已经开始将塑料变成织物来处理塑料污染）和第一段“Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.”（ 研究显示,微纤维是海洋塑料的最大来源。）由此可知，文章就这项技术究竟是对环境的保护还是对环境的再次污染进行说明。故C项（Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?）回收塑料服装：是解决方案还是污染？能够概括文章中心，可作为标题。故选C。 D In the world of online shopping, many online purchases are based on careful consideration of star ratings and product reviews left by complete strangers. But should you trust customer reviews when deciding what to purchase? And do these mysterious reviewers have your best interests in mind? Here’s what you need to know. Consumers today are skeptical, says Zach Pardes at review platform Trustpilot. “We live in a time when trust is completely under attack,” Pardes says. “So people are reading reviews and consuming them more than ever before, but I think there is a healthy skepticism at times of what they’re reading. Fake reviews do exist. Fake reviews include, but aren’t limited to, robot-generated reviews and reviews that are influenced by the seller.” Of course, not all user reviews you read online are fake. High-quality reviews are a valuable tool when making a variety of purchases. Pardes says Trustpilot features a team in place to detect and remove fake reviews. Perhaps one of the best-known review websites is Yelp. Yelp takes measures to ensure “high-quality content,” says Kathleen Liu, a company spokesperson. That includes allowing Yelp’s community of business owners and users to flag content that may go against the site’s terms of service. Since user reviews do provide helpful information, review as a whole shouldn’t be repudiated. But how can you tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not? It’s close to impossible for the everyday consumer. But if you conduct your investigation carefully, you can make an informed purchase. Check more than one review source. Pardes advises consumers to read reviews on multiple platforms. “If you’re about to book a $10,000 vacation, you’d never rely only on the photos and the reviews posted by that hotel’s marketing team,” he says. “You are going to want to use a third-party independent resource.” Read more than a handful of reviews. Pardes says there is “safety in numbers”. Question perfection. Pardes says consumers shouldn’t trust reviews that show only five stars. “Nobody’s perfect so you can’t possibly have a perfect five-star review in every single category of your business,” he says. 12. What does Pardes imply about consumers in Paragraph 2? A. They are often influenced by sellers. B. They must have long lost trust in sellers. C. They often fail to recognize fake reviews. D. They should be cautious of product reviews. 13. What do Yelp and Trustpilot have in common? A. Both aim to offer real user reviews. B. Both produce robot-generated reviews. C. Both hire professionals to give reviews. D. Both fine business owners for dishonesty. 14. What does the underlined word “repudiated” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Advocated. B. Hidden. C. Dismissed. D. Blamed. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to get the most out of online reviews. B. Why consumers should check out reviews. C. Where to find completely reliable reviews. D. When we can make an informed purchase. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了在线购物中用户评论的重要性，指出虚假评论的存在，并建议消费者通过多种方式验证评论的真实性，以做出明智的购买决策。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中Pardes所说的话“So people are reading reviews and consuming them more than ever before, but I think there is a healthy skepticism at times of what they’re reading. Fake reviews do exist. Fake reviews include, but aren’t limited to, robot-generated reviews and reviews that are influenced by the seller. (因此，人们比以往任何时候都更多地阅读和参考评论，但我认为他们有时会对所读的内容保持一种健康的怀疑态度。虚假评论确实存在。虚假评论包括但不限于由机器人生成的评论以及受卖家影响的评论)”可知，有些产品评论是虚假的，例如由机器人生成的评论和受卖家影响的评论。因此，Pardes在暗示消费者现在应该对产品评论保持谨慎的态度。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Pardes says Trustpilot features a team in place to detect and remove fake reviews. (Pardes 表示，Trustpilot配备了一个专门团队，负责检测并删除虚假评论)”和“Yelp takes measures to ensure “high-quality content,” says Kathleen Liu, a company spokesperson. That includes allowing Yelp’s community of business owners and users to flag content that may go against the site’s terms of service. (公司发言人Kathleen Liu表示，Yelp采取了一系列措施来确保“高质量内容”，其中包括允许Yelp的商家和用户社区标记可能违反网站服务条款的内容)”可知，Yelp和Trustpilot的共同之处是都致力于提供真实的用户评论。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Since user reviews do provide helpful information (由于用户评论确实提供了有用的信息)”可知，因为用户评论提供了有用的信息，因此不应完全否定评论的价值，画线词意思应该是“拒绝，否定”，与C项Dismissed“驳回，不理会”意思相近。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Check more than one review source. Pardes advises consumers to read reviews on multiple platforms. (查看多个评论来源。Pardes建议消费者在多个平台上阅读评论)”和“Read more than a handful of reviews. Pardes says there is “safety in numbers”. Question perfection. Pardes says consumers shouldn’t trust reviews that show only five stars. (阅读不止几条评论。Pardes表示，“数量越多越安全”。对完美保持质疑。Pardes说，消费者不应完全信任那些全是五星的评论)”可知，本段主要讲的是如何最大限度地利用在线评论。故选A项。 第二节 (共5 小题，每小题2.5 分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从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。 Everyone wants to be happy.

On the darkest of days, the moon still shines. (凡事都有好的一面。在最黑暗的日子里，月亮依然闪耀。)”可知，此处强调的是所有的事情都有好的一面，即光亮的一篇。即使黑暗的日子，月亮依旧闪耀。A选项“See the light in all situations(在所有情况下都看到事情光亮的一面。)”概括本段内容。故选A。 18题详解】 根据前文“You have many special qualities that can’t be compared to others. Be yourself and keep at it.(你有许多别人无法比拟的特殊品质。做你自己，坚持下去。)”此处强调，在这个世界上你是独特的。C选项“There is no one in this world that is exactly like you(这个世界上没有人和你一模一样。)”引起下文，指出这个世界上没有人和你是一样的，强调你的独特性，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Spend time with people that make you better. (花时间和能让你变得更好的人在一起。)”以及后文“Spend time with these people.

How to Train Your Dad by Gary Paulsen (Macmillan Children’s Books) Twelve-year-old Carlis fed up with his dad, who’s always rummaging(翻找) through rubbish and buying his clothes from garage sales (旧物销售).

B William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry. Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry. 4. Which of the following can describe Yeats's family? A. It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeats's choice. C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere. 5. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life? A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater. B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry. C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s. D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize. 6. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines? A. Envy B. Sympathy C. Emptiness D. Admiration 7. What is the passage mainly about? A Yeats's literary achievements B. Yeats's historical influence C. Yeats's artistic ambition D. Yeats's national honor C The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea. Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers and finally end up in the sea. In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic(合成的) clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers. This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants. Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design-his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding. 8. What has happened during the past five years? A. Fabric has become much stronger. B. Plastic pollution has been less serious. C. Many plastic bottles have been reused. D. Microfibers have been greatly improved. 9. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes? A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. B. It is worsening environmental problems. C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. D. It is doing great damage to washing machines. 10. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project? A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done. C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties. 11. What’s the best title for the text? A It’s important to learn to recycle B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution? D. Are human beings moving forward or backward? D In the world of online shopping, many online purchases are based on careful consideration of star ratings and product reviews left by complete strangers. But should you trust customer reviews when deciding what to purchase? And do these mysterious reviewers have your best interests in mind? Here’s what you need to know. Consumers today are skeptical, says Zach Pardes at review platform Trustpilot. “We live in a time when trust is completely under attack,” Pardes says. “So people are reading reviews and consuming them more than ever before, but I think there is a healthy skepticism at times of what they’re reading. Fake reviews do exist. Fake reviews include, but aren’t limited to, robot-generated reviews and reviews that are influenced by the seller.” Of course, not all user reviews you read online are fake. High-quality reviews are a valuable tool when making a variety of purchases. Pardes says Trustpilot features a team in place to detect and remove fake reviews. Perhaps one of the best-known review websites is Yelp. Yelp takes measures to ensure “high-quality content,” says Kathleen Liu, a company spokesperson. That includes allowing Yelp’s community of business owners and users to flag content that may go against the site’s terms of service. Since user reviews do provide helpful information, review as a whole shouldn’t be repudiated. But how can you tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not? It’s close to impossible for the everyday consumer. But if you conduct your investigation carefully, you can make an informed purchase. Check more than one review source. Pardes advises consumers to read reviews on multiple platforms. “If you’re about to book a $10,000 vacation, you’d never rely only on the photos and the reviews posted by that hotel’s marketing team,” he says. “You are going to want to use a third-party independent resource.” Read more than a handful of reviews. Pardes says there is “safety in numbers”. Question perfection. Pardes says consumers shouldn’t trust reviews that show only five stars. “Nobody’s perfect so you can’t possibly have a perfect five-star review in every single category of your business,” he says. 12. What does Pardes imply about consumers in Paragraph 2? A. They are often influenced by sellers. B. They must have long lost trust in sellers. C. They often fail to recognize fake reviews. D. They should be cautious of product reviews. 13. What do Yelp and Trustpilot have in common? A. Both aim to offer real user reviews. B. Both produce robot-generated reviews. C. Both hire professionals to give reviews. D. Both fine business owners for dishonesty. 14. What does the underlined word “repudiated” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Advocated. B. Hidden. C. Dismissed. D. Blamed. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to get the most out of online reviews. B. Why consumers should check out reviews. C. Where to find completely reliable reviews. D. When we can make an informed purchase. 第二节 (共5 小题，每小题2.5 分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容, 从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。 Everyone wants to be happy. However, happiness doesn’t come to you naturally.
